Earlier this afternoon I had the pleasure of recording a podcast with Seth Davis, college basketball writer for SI.com and studio analyst for CBS Sports.
And let me just say right off the bat for all the IU fans out there: you will be encouraged by what Seth has to say about Tom Crean and the future of IU basketball.
We also discuss fans storming the court, Purdue’s viability as a Final Four contender, Ohio State’s ceiling with a healthy Evan Turner, and whether or not this is finally the year that Northwestern makes the NCAA Tournament.
Have a listen.
(Note: You can also listen on iTunes.)
During the podcast, Seth also discusses a promotion that he is working on with Coke Zero called the Department of Fannovation. It’s a pretty cool promotion that gives fans a chance to voice their opinion on how to improve college basketball for the fans.
My favorite one that I saw while taking a perusal of the front page, as I mentioned to Seth on the podcast, is allowing fans to call games on TV. I wouldn’t want to replace guys like Bill Raftery or Gus Johnson, but there are some others that I think a lot of fans could do better than.

Sounds pretty good to me.
