Wagler and Flemings Go NUCLEAR, Auburn Shocks Florida, Hottest Teams, and Arkansas Deep Dive

Описание: Welcome back to The EvanMiya College Basketball Show. In this episode, Evan Miyakawa is joined by Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated to unpack a jaw-dropping weekend in college basketball, starting with Illinois’ road win at Purdue and Keaton Wogler’s 46-point performance in Mackey Arena. Evan and Kevin break down what that game revealed about Illinois’ national title ceiling, Purdue’s strengths and limitations, and how both teams stack up among the sport’s true contenders.

The conversation expands to Texas Tech’s offensive explosion against Houston, Kingston Fleming’s massive night despite the loss, and why the Red Raiders’ ceiling may be higher than most realize. Auburn’s road win at Florida is also examined, including what it says about SEC volatility, Florida’s offensive dependence on shooting, and why Auburn may have been undervalued all season. The episode features a rapid-fire look at other key results, including North Carolina’s road win at Virginia, Michigan State’s surge, and how several teams are separating themselves nationally.

Later in the show, Evan and Kevin revisit preseason evaluations, discussing which takes they feel validated about, which ones missed the mark, and which teams they are buying or selling stock in as conference play heats up. Evan then moves into Analytics Corner, highlighting the hottest teams in the country, the most statistically productive players so far this season, and some surprising lineup data from the Big 12 that could impact how teams optimize their rotations.

The episode wraps with a full team deep dive on Arkansas, as Evan is joined by Curtis Wilkerson of Inside Arkansas to analyze the Razorbacks’ dominant home performances, road inconsistencies, lineup changes, and the emergence of freshman star Darius Acuff. They discuss Arkansas’ defensive ceiling, SEC title upside, and why this team could be one of the most dangerous draws in March if things click.
