Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast: A Most Unenjoyable Experience

With two weeks left in the college basketball regular season, teams are making one final push to improve their NCAA Tournament resumes. That includes Virginia, who bracketology has in the field for now.

In this episode, The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast focuses on the ACC bubble picture, and what each team, including UVA, must do to punch a ticket to the Big Dance. Plus thoughts on the College Football Playoffs adjusted model.

  • A rant for the ages from Rick Pitino (0:00-8:40)
  • A frustrating week from Virginia basketball and how it impacts the Cavaliers’ tournament hopes (8:40-19:02)
  • How public perceptions of the ACC are impacting conference teams on the bubble (19:02-32:49)
  • College football’s new “5 + 7” playoff model (32:49-42:00)

TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, 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.
