Is this the future of roster building in college hoops? And should the Baylor Bears men's basketball consider making a similar move to stay ahead in the NIL and transfer portal era? Cam breaks down what this means for the sport — and why Baylor may need to think proactively.
Then, Cam reacts to Arizona Wildcats men's basketball stunning No. 2 Houston Cougars men's basketball on the road — without star forward Koa Peat. How did Arizona pull it off? And are the Wildcats the scariest team in college basketball heading into their showdown at Foster Pavilion tonight?
