Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, Ep. 119: Talking NBA Draft, NCAA Tournament expansion, and how some coaches are surviving in the days of the portal and NIL.

In the newest episode of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, hosts Chris Dortch (@cdortch) and Kevin Ingram (@KIngramSports) discuss a variety of college basketball topics:

• Our take on Round 1 of the NBA Draft. Was Zach Edey drafted too high? Was Dalton Knecht chosen too low? Only time will tell, but we speculate anyway.

• We’re cool with adding four- to six teams to the NCAA Tournament… as long as non-Power 5 schools get equal representation.

• One big name is still traveling through the portal. We hope he brought snacks! Will it be Texas or SMU for Arthur Kaluma?

• Chris has talked to several coaches over the last two weeks about how they are constructing their rosters without the benefit of NIL mega moolah.
