The sports world may be focused on The Big Game (TM), but we're still doling out big slices of basketball knowledge here on the pod. Discussions range from Will Wade's new contract to South Carolina's surge, from teams with serious momentum to an Ohio State autopsy, from huge wins for Butler and K State to takeaways from the weekend's Top 10 showdowns. We also quickly preview six key Saturday contests, begrudgingly acknowledge the groundbreaking Dartmouth basketball labor ruling, and - of course - talk a little NCAA officiating.
