·45 min·2 clips

Otega Oweh hit a 30-to-42-foot three-pointer to send Kentucky-Santa Clara to overtime.

1. Locked On College Basketball Squad Show centers on Kentucky-Santa Clara, Duke’s scare against Siena, and which double-digit seeds can still reach the Sweet 16. 2. Andy Patton hosts with several Locked On College Basketball hosts, including Isaac, Derek, JJ, Parker, and Matt, each bringing a team-specific angle to March games. 3. The episode asks whether Santa Clara’s near-upset, Duke’s injury situation, and the early upsets around the bracket signal a wider opening for Cinderella. 4. Alan Graves hit a late three for Santa Clara, and Otega Oweh answered with a shot from roughly 30 to 42 feet to force overtime. 5. The panel says Oweh finished with 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, and CBS Sports listed him with a rare tournament stat line alongside Oscar Robertson, Bill Bradley, and Larry Bird. 6. The hosts debate whether Santa Clara should have fouled at half court and whether Herb Sendek could have gotten a timeout signaled earlier. 7. They also discuss Brandon Garrison’s role for Kentucky, noting his foul trouble, late-game plays, and value alongside Oweh. 8. The panel compares the shot to other March moments, including Jalen Suggs and Marcus Page, while calling it the best finish of the first round so far. 9. Andy, Derek, and Parker then pivot to the broader NCAA Tournament picture and whether NIL and the transfer portal have reduced the number of deep runs by lower seeds. 10. High Point over Wisconsin, VCU over North Carolina, and St. Louis’ 102-77 win over Georgia are used as examples that upsets are still happening. 11. High Point’s win is described as its first ever over a high-major team, and the group notes that the game plan depends on three-point volume. 12. Miami of Ohio is presented as another possible Sweet 16 team, with its Dayton path and matchup against Tennessee singled out. 13. Texas is described as a major threat to Gonzaga because Sean Miller has beaten Mark Few before and Braden Huff’s injury has dropped Gonzaga’s offensive efficiency. 14. The panel also floats Missouri, saying the Tigers could challenge Purdue if they get through Miami in their bracket line. 15. UCF is mentioned as a possible sleeper if UCLA or UConn is limited by injuries, though the hosts note how little postseason history UCF has. 16. Duke’s section focuses on the Siena comeback, Patrick Ngongba II’s boot being off, and the idea that the scare may wake the Blue Devils up before TCU. 17. The tone is a fast-moving roundtable, with hosts interrupting each other, reacting live to scores, and revisiting multiple games across the afternoon. 18. The format mixes bracket debate, injury updates, and live game references rather than a single game breakdown. 19. Listeners following March Madness bracket chaos and upset candidates. 20. Listeners wanting a single-team deep dive without tournament-wide context.
