Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast: Nothing But NET

TheSabre.com introduced a new podcast partnership to be featured here on the site and through our social media channels. It’s time for Episode 11.

Hosted by two people named Michael – ACC fans by birth, degenerate gamblers for mirth – The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast is a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw is a University of Virginia graduate and fan, while Michael Shutt is a life-long NC State fan. Both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.

For this episode, it is starting to feel like March. Following a turbulent weekend of college hoops, particularly in the ACC, it’s tough to know which programs to trust. In this basketball-centric episode, the show discussed:

  • The shocking revelations about Brandon Miller and Alabama basketball (0:00-23:52)
  • The reasons behind Virginia basketball’s recent slump (23:52-38:13)
  • The NET and the use of analytics in evaluating tournament-caliber teams (38:13-57:39)
  • A crazy weekend in the ACC leading up to the final week of the regular season (57:39-1:10:03)
