Episode Details

In another year we’d talk about the Final Four teams today. But the NCAA Tournament calendar has shifted and we’re at the Elite Eight round. On today’s SportsBeat KC, Jesse Newell talks regional finals and more with host Blair Kerkhoff.

But Division II has completed its bracket, and what a performance by Northwest Missouri State. The Bearcats were impressive winners of their third tournament in four seasons. What’s next for Coach Ben McCollum and the program?

Also, in transfer news, KC Roos point guard Brandon McKissic is on the market and Kansas, Missouri and Kansas State are involved.

After a break, the topic switches to Kansas football. The Jayhawks picked up a transfer quarterback last week, and what is the prospect of Jason Bean of North Texas becoming this season’s starter? Maybe better than you think.
