Surprises & Supersizes

Show LIVE in the video player above. Audio podcast version, from SoundCloud, below.

The 2024-25 season has seen quite a few programs emerge as threats to win conference championships or be a national contender that maybe even the experts did not expect to be so competitive. And how has adjusting to the National Power Index working? What should we expect as the NPI numbers start to roll out and bracketing starts to appear on the horizon?

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we talk to a handful of programs making, maybe, unexpected waves. Just how are those programs managing their seasons, expectations, and now everyone else's best efforts?

Plus, we sit-down with the men's and women's national committee chairs. Hear how they have adjusted to using NPI, what the role of the Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) have evolved, how bracketing will take shape (and what we may have learned from fall sports), and much more.

It is all part of a supersized edition of Hoopsville.
