Episode Notes

In hour one of OTB, we react to LSU men’s basketball’s loss to Texas and where things continue to feel off with the program. We shift gears to baseball and preview the matchup against Nicholls, including who we expect to see on the mound. The crew also gets into the growing trend of college basketball coaches publicly calling out their players and whether that approach actually works anymore. Somehow, all of that leads us into a conversation about leap years and why they exist.
