    👉 LAST CHANCE! BID ON YOUR TEAM’S BONUS SHOOTAROUND EPISODE RIGHT HERE 👈

Can the Hoosiers bounce back into the NCAA Tournament, or will the lack of perimeter shooting and a soft schedule doom them to the NIT for the second straight year? Is Woodson's job on the line?

  • Summer Shootaround '24: Auburn is coming off a big NCAAT upset, but also one of its best seasons ever. Is it top-10 good?

    Bruce Pearl had one of the most efficient teams last season -- do you realize it was a top-three Auburn team in school history? -- and yet somehow lost to Yale in the first round of the NCAAs. But GP likes this group as top-10 quality. Norlander? He's not THAT high on AU. So, can the Tigers -- led by Johni Broome -- make it to the second weekend or beyond?

  • Summer Shootaround '24: Get ready, because Gonzaga seems to be Final Four-capable once again

    Last year's Gonzaga Bulldogs found themselves outside lock territory for the NCAA Tournament for a large portion of the season. Until they made a late February run and kept head coach Mark Few's tournament streak (and Sweet 16 streak) intact. Heading into this season, it sure seems like Gonzaga won't have to worry about barely scraping into the NCAAs, but does it have enough top-end talent to win it all? Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander take a look under the hood.
