Beers in hand, peanut gallery fired up, and zero filter, Joe Willie and Tom Beer break down their Sweet 16 picks for March Madness, going deep on Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Alabama, and Texas Tech.   Then the real debate kicks off: the greatest college basketball players who completely flopped in the NBA. These guys were LEGENDS on campus, and then the pros ate them alive. Joe and Tom dig into why college stardom doesn't always translate and how the NBA has evolved into a league that demands freakish athleticism that defies logic.   Who do you think the GOAT is of the 2026 March Madness tournament?
