Next Episode: Big Ten Country revolves around Caitlin Clark, Zach Edey as Iowa and Purdue head to Final Four

James Neveau and Kenneth Davis take a deep dive into the four remaining Big Ten teams in the men's and women's NCAA tournaments. They start out by breaking down Iowa's scare against West Virginia, discussing which players need to step up against Colorado if the Hawkeyes want to reach the Final Four again (0:40). Indiana also gets its share of the spotlight after a dramatic win over Oklahoma, but can Sydney Parrish and company stun undefeated South Carolina in the Sweet 16 (14:48)? The guys then turn to the men's tournament, with Zach Edey and Purdue aiming to take down Gonzaga (26:47). The big question...can Purdue's guard play overcome the Bulldogs to advance in the tournament? Finally, the guys get around to Illinois, as Terrence Shannon and company have seemingly embraced the mentality of head coach Brad Underwood ahead of an epic showdown with Iowa State (35:55).
