The EvanMiya College Basketball Show

In this episode of The EvanMiya College Basketball Show, Evan Miyakawa breaks down a massive week in college basketball, highlighted by Texas Tech’s overtime road win over Arizona, Iowa State’s dominant defensive performance against Kansas, and major injury news impacting BYU and North Carolina. Evan is joined by Ryan Hammer of the Blue-Blooded Podcast to analyze the Big 12’s chaos, the rise of JT Toppin as a National Player of the Year contender, and how “Kill Shot” dominance separates elite teams like Michigan and Arizona from the rest of the field. Later, Terrence Oglesby joins the show to discuss Wisconsin’s statement win over Michigan State, Duke’s defensive ceiling, North Carolina’s outlook without Caleb Wilson, and debate current First-Team All-Americans. Evan closes with additional insights on Michigan’s No. 1 ranking at EvanMiya.com, Florida’s frontcourt dominance, Louisville’s surge behind Mikel Brown Jr., and key upcoming matchups that could reshape the national title race.
