NBA-Team: The NCAA Team '26

In this special episode, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche dive into the dorms and talk about this season's men's college basketball batch for prospects of the 2026 NBA Draft. Adam does his yearly tradition of running down the top prospects going into the season that NBA scouts may or may not ogle over while Andrew does word salad about how much upside, downside, or NIL money each of them should have. Do we have maybe a top-three consensus this year between Darryn Peterson, A.J. Dybantsa & Cameron Boozer and how surefire of a bet are each of the three? Are the have's and have not's between power conference schools and mid-majors distancing themselves even more in this new higher-scoring NIL era where rivalries practically don't exist? Is Dan Hurley going to win ANOTHER national title at UConn? Tune in and find out! Enjoy!

In a week where the talk of the sports world will be who gets the best draw in the FIFA World Cup (which we discuss) and the College Football Playoff, the NBA Cup is still trying to find its own footing as the knockout rounds are set. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together after traveling the world (or, at least, one of them did) to play catch-up on the last couple weeks of the regular season. Are the Raptors and Pistons for real and the Knicks and Cavaliers are just happy to play the tortoises to their hares? Is it too early to declare that the geriatric L.A. Clippers' season is already dead on its feet? Is it possible for the Chicago Bulls to trade their best scoring guard and become a better team in the process? Riche and Adam also discuss the long-term dominance of the Thunder, the joyful transformation of the Miami Heat offense, soft tissue injuries, Lane Kiffin to LSU, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 369 with the NBA-Team!
