Ari and James are back from Lucas Oil Stadium after a weekend at the NCAA Final Four—and they’ve got plenty to unpack.
The guys open with their instant reactions to the Final Four, breaking down what went wrong and how it compares to past heartbreaks—including parallels between Arizona Wildcats men's basketball on the biggest stage and Texas Tech Red Raiders football in the Orange Bowl.
From there, they zoom out to the bigger picture: has the Big 12 done enough nationally? With just three title game appearances since 2022—including Houston Cougars men's basketball last year—the conversation turns to whether the conference is meeting expectations in March.
All that and more on a packed March Madness Monday edition of Big 12 Today.
