Theater In College Hoops (Ep. 78)- Improved Teams, Silvio De Sousa & UMass Probation

Fair warning: we went down a few rabbit holes and I think we may need to seek help. The Shark kicks us off with an epic diatribe aiming his vitriol at the Washington Football Team and McCarran Airport. We discuss the new allegations re: Greg Marshall and his time at Winthrop and wonder if there’s another coach more likely to make a scene at his kid’s birthday party. We also discuss Silvio De Sousa’s departure from Kansas and what it means for him and the team moving forward. Then we address our Northeastern roots and discuss UMass as they’ve been hit with a 2 year probation. It always seems like the small schools get pinched while the big boys do not. Real shame. We then offer our thoughts on some teams that will be vastly improved entering next year. We started the show pretty negatively so we had to end on a positive note: Hugs.
