On Thursday, former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt sued the NCAA for $100 million. One particular coach working Friday in the NCAA Tournament is probably the NCAA's best defense in the lawsuit. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl faced a similar situation and re-emerged and got a new job even before his NCAA penalties expired.

One coach was good at Tennessee and one coach wasn't. That's the difference.

Half the Elite Eight is set, and we’ve got four incredible games on Friday. On Thursday, Duke survived a scare from Arizona with an all-timer from freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils move on to face Alabama, which set an NCAA Tournament record for three-pointers made.

Florida wore out Maryland, and the top-seeded Gators will face Texas Tech, which stormed back from a huge deficit to force overtime and then beat Arkansas in the extra period.

Friday, we’ve got Kentucky-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Michigan State, Michigan-Auburn and Purdue-Houston.

We’re also on Kevin Willard watch. Will he take the Villanova job or stay at Maryland?

Meanwhile, college football news keeps coming.

Kent State coach Kenni Burns was placed on administrative leave.

Next, Andy and Ari answer your questions, including…

How good is the Stanford job?

Is it possible the College Football Playoff quarterfinals could move to campus?
