About this listen
In this episode of First and 16, we break down one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season — No. 9 Kansas stunning No. 1 Arizona 82-78 in Lawrence to snap the Wildcats' undefeated run and leave the AP Top 25 landscape shaking. We'll talk about how this game reshapes the national picture in the poll, what it means for March hopes, and the wider implications for teams jockeying in a crowded top 25. Then we pivot to college football and tackle a growing scheduling controversy: why non-conference games slated a decade in advance are hurting the sport and how moving toward a nearer-term scheduling model could improve competitive balance, fan interest, and flexibility around conference realignment. This episode blends high-stakes hoops with big-picture gridiron strategy.
