Frequent contributor Matthew McLaughlin and I dig into this prescient documentary as college athletics, NIL, and sports gambling become more and more integrated. Will the past be an ever-present part of the future of college athletics or will the lessons learned by these athletes help future students avoid the same mistakes?

Oh, and the documentary is amazing and follows the Goodfellas characters in real life as the Lufthansa Heist intersected with one of the biggest point-shaving scandals in sports history.

This is 19nine SHORTS, a fast break-styled lesson in hardwood history

On this edition of 19nine SHORTS, The Chucker, 19nine’s resident historian, takes us back five decades and details the origins of Midnight Madness. Originally more motivational tactic than program-branding exercise, more an impromptu fan gathering than any heralded celebration of the start of the college basketball season, Midnight Madness owes its launch to an event that didn’t even include a basketball.

 This is 19nine SHORTS, a fast break-styled lesson in hardwood history. On their way to the 1996 NCAA Championship, the Kentucky Wildcats sported one of the most distinctive uniform kits in modern NCAA basketball history – the so-called “denim blues.” Though the Kentucky denims now land a spot on nearly every credible list identifying the top Wildcat uniforms of all time, the novel look was not so enthusiastically received upon its debut in 1996. In fact, it was almost universally panned. In this inaugural edition of 19nine SHORTS, The Chucker, 19nine’s resident historian, explains how these now-treasured uniforms came into existence and the less-than-savory response they received. He also reminds us how, in the end, none of it really mattered.

• Hail State! On this episode of the 19nine Podcast, we’re traveling back to the 1995-1996 college basketball season, when Iverson and Allen dazzled at The Garden, Kentucky stocked its roster with 9 future NBA players, Coach Cal led UMass to national prominence, The Macarena was the year’s hit song, and a Mississippi State squad led by Darryl Wilson, Dontae’ Jones, and 16-year NBA veteran Erick Dampier crashed the Final Four.
• To talk about the Bulldogs’ memorable March Madness run, we’re joined today by two rotation players on that team – Whit Hughes and Bart Hyche.
• A 5-11 freshman on the 1996 squad, Bart played in 31 games that season, including all five of the Bulldogs’ NCAA Tournament games.
• Whit, meanwhile, was a 6-5 sophomore forward who played in all 34 contests for the Bulldogs’ Final Four squad.
• We’re going to chat with Whit and Bart about their respective journeys to Starkville, playing basketball at a school where football reigns supreme, the Mississippi State-Ole Miss rivalry, taking down Big Blue Nation in the SEC Tournament, and earning the first – and still only – Final Four berth in school history.

• Today we’re going to talk with retired Western Athletic Conference commissioner Jeff Hurd about where college hoops has been and where it could be going.
• Jeff spent nearly 5 decades in college athletics, beginning with a stint as the sports information director at the University of Tulsa before serving as the director of public relations for the Missouri Valley Conference.
• The Missouri grad spent his last 37 years, however, with the Western Athletic Conference, the last 10 as its commissioner, and in that time the WAC might have undergone as much change as any Division I conference. 
• Jeff joins us today to discuss his memories of the Missouri Valley Conference, when a Larry Bird-led Indiana State team charged into the national title game in 1979, to his favorite college basketball moments over the last 40-plus years before we get his thoughts on the future of college hoops amid major changes in the collegiate athletics landscape.
• Jeff, thanks for joining us on the 19nine podcast.

• Welcome to the 19nine podcast. In this episode we take another deep dive into Big Blue Nation and University of Kentucky hoops, this time with two-time NCAA champion Cameron Mills.
• The son of former Kentucky Wildcat Terry Mills, Cameron grew up in Lexington, starring at Dunbar High before shunning D1 scholarship offers and matriculating to Kentucky in 1994 as a walk-on for the Wildcats and head coach Rick Pitino.
• Today, we’re going to talk with the 6-3 sharpshooter about his journey to Kentucky and the first of his two national championship teams at UK – the loaded 1995-96 squad that featured 9 – that’s right, 9 – NBA players. That dominant Kentucky team went 34-2, culminating with a 9-point win over Syracuse in the title game.

We've got a potpourri episode during the height of the silly season. Draymond starting fights with Kendrick Perkins for no real reason. We instead choose to talk basketball except for occasionally making fun of The Kings. We get things started talking Warriors before veering off into a variety of offseason topics including The Draft, Free Agency, and New Basketball Movies (Giannis's movie Rise and the Adam Sandler flick Hustle). Perfect conversation for your July 4th Driving.

• In the University of Kentucky’s illustrious basketball history, Kyle Macy inherits a prominent place – and spawned a generation of boys named Kyle in Kentucky.
• Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1975 while playing for his father Bob at Peru High, the 6-3 point guard was a three-year starter for the Wildcats after spending his freshman season at Purdue.
• Macy helped the Wildcats capture the 1978 national title, breaking a 20-year drought that likely felt like a century-long drought to Big Blue Nation.
• When Macy’s collegiate career closed in 1980, he had a resume to rival any Wildcat: three All-American nods, an SEC Player of the Year award, and two SEC titles in addition to the 1978 national title. He left UK as the program’s all-time leader in assists and 12th on the Cats’ all-time scoring list.
• A first-round draft pick of the Phoenix Suns in 1979, Macy played seven seasons in the NBA. 
• He was inducted into the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Wildcats retired his #4 jersey in 1997.

•  We are joined today by someone many college basketball fans have gotten to know over recent years and that’s Loyola Chicago standout Lucas Willamson.
• We’re going to talk with Lucas a bit about his career on the court for the Ramblers, where the Chicago native was a two-time Missouri Valley Conference honoree and the league’s two-time Defensive Player of the Year, but even more about a special project he was involved in off the court. 
• Williamson served as the narrator on “The Loyola Project,” a recently released documentary about the 1963 Loyola Ramblers, a team that broke racial barriers while also capturing the national title.
• Williamson will talk with us about his involvement in that project, the process of putting it together, and what he learned about this transformative squad.

• In March 2000, the eighth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers rushed through the West Regional, defeating Arizona, LSU, and Purdue to claim the Badgers first Final Four appearance in more than 59 years. 
• Though the Badgers Cinderella run ended with Final Four loss in Indianapolis to Big Ten foe and eventual national champ Michigan State, that Wisconsin squad helped elevate the Badgers, long a middling Big Ten program, into a March Madness regular.. 
• Wisconsin would make the Big Dance every year over the next 17 seasons, including two additional Final Four runs under Bo Ryan.
• Today, we’re going to discuss that memorable Badgers run with the team’s leading scorer, 6-9 forward Mark Vershaw, and seek to understand how an 8-8 Big Ten team, one that never cracked the AP Top 25, one that didn’t feature a single all-conference selection – not even an honorable mention nod – defied the odds and captured a spot in the Final Four.

Today's episdoe is a Tales from the Bench 

• The 1989-1990 Loyola Marymount squad is one of the most memorable college basketball teams of its generation, a reality rooted in its run-and-gun style of play as well as the tragic on-court death of its star, Hank Gathers, that turned the Lions into America’s team in March 1990. 
• Today, Jeff Fryer, the third-leading scorer on that Lions team, a fearless shooter who jacked up an NCAA Tournament record 22 three-point attempts against Arkansas in 1989, joins the 19nine podcast to discuss his four-year career with the Lions, the unorthodox scheme concocted by Coach Paul Westhead, the emotions of Gathers’ death, and the team’s resilient run to the Elite Eight.

• The 2022 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament is upon us, as is the launch of 19nine’s Big Ten Tournament Collection.
• So, it’s a perfect time to connect with journalist and author Ed Sherman, who authors penned the authoritative history on the conference titled, This is Big: How the Big Ten Set the Standard in College Sports.
• The 5-pound book shares stories of the Big Ten dating back to the league’s founding in the late final years of the 19th century and chronicles its rise into perhaps the most influential conference in college sports.
• Ed, of course, has long maintained a close eye on the Big Ten. Over a 27-year career with the Chicago Tribune, he served as the newspaper’s national college sports and Big Ten reporter, covering its universities as well as the league’s evolution.
• We’re going to dig into the conference’s hoops history with Ed, discussing some of its principal figures and notable moments.
