Following his team's highest-ranked series win in program history, High Point Baseball head coach Joey Hammond joins host David Kahn on Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers. The pair discuss High Point's road series win in Gainesville over the weekend, the difference in strategies between the three games, and the confidence drawn from a victory like this, while still learning from the defeat in the series finale. Plus, High Point is prepared for every situation, even practicing rain delays. And Coach Hammond and his staff may have found the best new metric in college baseball - defensive efficiency. Desperation and Execution folks, two pillars of the Panthers program that we can all live by.

We're six days out from Selection Sunday and the only thing between us and the gorgeous bracket is a full week of conference tournament action from coast-to-coast. Matt Norlander and Stephen Hartzell are flying through the Monday show with a recap of the autobids that have already been handed out, a recap of notable results over the weekend, and a full deep dive on the NCAA Tournament bubble which is Charmin soft. So soft, Norlander says, we should be going backwards on the number of teams in this thing - back to 64 - instead of the expansion talk of 70+ in the year(s) to come. The guys run through the sad state of the bubble and then it's on to the conference tournament brackets, which Hartzell has printed because this ain't no hobby, folks. The AAC bracket gets called out for egregious behavior, while the Big 12 earns the 'most improved' award for not going the blackout route. Norlander is headed to KC for Big 12 and as you listen to this Hartzell is literally heading west on I-40 to Nashville for SEC. A tremendous week of games awaits, let this show help set the table for an absolute hoops feast coming at you.
