It’s a packed sports weekend, and Sports IQ is locked in.

Larry Smith and the crew break down everything from Super Bowl weekend memories to a pivotal stretch in college basketball, as conference races tighten and March looms closer.

The show opens with a look at the sports landscape heading into the weekend — Super Bowl buzz, the Olympics, and a loaded college hoops slate — before diving deep into the Big East’s marquee matchup. St. John’s insider Zach Braziller (New York Post) joins the show to preview the Red Storm’s showdown with third-ranked UConn, breaking down what’s clicked for Rick Pitino’s squad, why this game matters nationally, and where the matchup could be won or lost.

From there, the focus shifts to the Big 12, as Shreyas Laddha (Kansas City Star) analyzes Kansas’ resurgence, Bill Self’s defensive adjustments, and the Jayhawks’ upcoming gauntlet featuring Arizona, Iowa State, and Houston. Laddha also shares insight on the evolving Big 12 landscape and what the future may hold for Self and Kansas basketball.

The college hoops tour continues in the SEC with Jackson Fuller (USA Today), who evaluates Arkansas under John Calipari, the Razorbacks’ inconsistency, the impact of freshmen, and what needs to change for a potential March run in a deep SEC.

The show wraps with Super Bowl reflections, unforgettable media-week moments, and today’s Moment of Awe, spotlighting Ted Williams becoming the highest-paid player in MLB history back in 1958 — a contract that looks like a bargain by today’s standards.

A perfect listen as the sports calendar hits full throttle.
