Here's the February 21, 2022 episode of the College Hoops Chat radio show (49 mins) with guests Connor Hope of Heat Check CBB & Mike Szabo, a St. John's student/campus radio broadcaster.

I open the show with the very happy news that all my teams won this past weekend: St. John's beat Butler, South Carolina beat LSU, Buffalo beat Western Michigan, UNC beat VA Tech, St. Bonaventure beat Duquesne, UNCW beat JMU & Iona beat Fairfield! It's probably the most successful CBB Weekend of my life! I also predict how my 7 teams will finish the season.

My first interview is with Connor Hope, an excellent CBB Analyst I met on Twitter, and we discuss the troubling post game brawl everyone is talking about between Michigan & Wisconsin, which led to the suspension of Coach Juwan Howard. We discuss how neither coach did anything wrong in the game, but both should've shown leadership and maturity since their actions sparked a brawl which included student-athletes fighting. We discuss consensus #1 Gonzaga and Zags chances to win big Dance, and end with chat about upcoming Villanova at UConn game.

Next up is Mike Szabo, and we discuss St. John's 2-game surge with big wins over Xavier and Butler and huge upcoming game at home vs Creighton. We also talk about Big East Tourney.

Both Connor (South Dakota State) and Mike (Memphis) offer Cinderella predictions for NCAA Tournament.

I wrap up the show with callers #KennyFrom Rye on Iona & Providence and #JohnFromPortChester on Iona.
