It's rivalry week and it's only fitting to discuss Coach Cal's return to Rupp Arena. What will his reception be from the Kentucky faithful? And can the Razorbacks turn it around? Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander break down the scene. Also, Illinois tried to walk into Pinnacle Bank and....it didn't go well. Is Illinois the most middling team that many have big expectations for? Plus The North Carolina Tar Heels NEED a big win in Cameron to maintain any hope of having NCAA Tournament hopes, can they get it? We discuss in a fresh Friday edition of the pod presented by Jersey Mike's!
