On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, our hosts cover Alabama’s huge 111-73 victory over Mississippi State, fueled by 22 made three-pointers and a dominant offensive performance. Mark Sears led the charge with five threes as Alabama built an early lead and never looked back. Mississippi State’s defensive lapses allowed Alabama to dictate the pace, leading to visible frustration from the opposing coach.
The conversation extended to sports betting trends, particularly how Mississippi State’s performance impacts SEC tournament odds and spread coverage.

The show moved on to other legs of the NCAA and the ongoing College Football Playoff expansion talks, with the SEC and Big Ten pushing for a 14- or 16-team format to secure greater control over revenue and structure. Analysts debated how this shift could diminish the ACC and Big 12’s influence, potentially reshaping the future of college football. On top of that, legal challenges facing the NCAA’s governance and financial model were also discussed, with concerns over pending lawsuits and settlements. Outside of sports, the show touched on media influence in national politics, highlighting financial factors driving broadcasting decisions.
