The guys break down a disappointing end to CSU men’s NCAA Tournament hopes after a physical loss to San Diego State, then pivot to what’s next as the Rams host Saint Joseph’s in the NIT Wednesday night—along with a candid look at the financial reality of hosting postseason games and whether it’s worth it. The guys dive into roster retention priorities, offseason needs, and what success in the NIT could mean for Ali Farokhmanesh’s program. They also spotlight the CSU women’s team punching their ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016, winning the Mountain West title without star Lexus Bargesser, and discuss their underdog matchup with Michigan State. The episode wraps with an honest conversation about rising season ticket costs, fan frustration, and the expectations that now come with CSU’s increased investment in athletics.
