Mimosas Til' March: Recent Episodes
Coleman Crawley
A college basketball podcast hosted by Coleman Crawley providing insights into gambling, bracketology, and analysis of all things NCAAB throughout the season so that you have an edge on your friends come NCAA Tournament time.
In this episode I got to interview head coach Bucky McMillan for a 2nd time. He's led the Bulldogs to 3 straight 21 plus win seasons, including a 23-4 start this year. He took over a program that was 75-141 (34.7%) in their time in the SOCON, and in 2 years turned them into a SOCON contender. They play one of the fastest tempos in the country and apply an unselfishness to their game that makes them a joy to watch. Coach McMillan is without a doubt one of the brightest young stars coaching in all of college basketball.
It was an honor to get to interview the great John Becker, who has has the most dominance of any coach in a 1 bid league over the last 8 seasons. Vermont has won or shared 7 straight conference regular season titles, and show no signs of stopping that run anytime soon. Becker has never won less than 20 games in his tenure at Vermont. John went from coaching as a part time gig, to just 5 years later being the head coach at Vermont. A unique journey to the most dominant, consistent program in all of 1 bid college basketball.
Year 2 of coaching interviews kicks off with Merrimack head coach Joe Gallo. Coach Gallo has had an interesting tenure at Merrimack now in his 8th year. He's in his first year coaching the team at the D1 level, but just his first year where the team can qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Despite that he's led Merrimack to 2 regular season NEC Conference titles along with 1 conference tournament championship last year when the loser, Fairleigh Dickinson, won 2 games in the NCAA tournament as a 16 seed. His fascinating zone defense has Merrimack a top 65 rated defense in the country according to Kenpom, and behind that, they just might have the potential to be a Cinderella!

On today’s episode I discuss a new gambling strategy alongside the favorite favorites system, my updated bracketology as we start February and how not playing conferences tournaments would affect it, and how underrated both Lon Kruger and Leonard Hamilton are

In this episode I hop around the country to review week 7 including the drop off of Rutgers, Andrew Jones’s incredible story continuing at Texas, and Xavier can’t stop hitting buzzer beaters. I then break down some of my bets for the week to share my insights, and then preview some big games upcoming in week 8.
On today’s episode we’ll get into the first in season release of my bracketology, takeaways from that including the Big 10’s dominance, the ACC and PAC 12’s disappointment thus far, and what we saw from this week including Texas’s statement in the Phog.
A preview of my bracketology being released next week, my picks against the spread, and a review of weeks 5 and 6 including Gonzaga’s dominance, Iowa’s refusal to defend, and Coach Cal’s comment on Cam Fletcher.
A review of week 3 and preview of week 4 of the college basketball season including my thoughts on Coach K’s comments, Iowa being the most fun team to watch in college basketball, and Kentucky putting in the solid body of work to be the worst blue blood in the country.
I review and break down week 2 of college basketball including Maui in Asheville, the Champions Classic, the Jimmy V Classic, and why Bill Walton is the most polarizing figure in college basketball.
Proof the blue bloods are overrated, as is teams full of new young talent. How continuity and experience is underrated. Along with 5 takes from week 1 of college basketball being back from the pandemic.
In the inaugural podcast of Mimosas Til March I tell my story of how I came to love college basketball, and lay the foundation for what to expect in this podcast. Analysis, predictions, gambling insights, and Bracketology all season. 3 bold takes are made as predictions for the upcoming 2020-21 season to give a taste of many previews to come on Twitter.
