Pat Forde, national college columnist for Yahoo! Sports, joins the Dan Wetzel podcast this week to discuss college hoops as the season heads toward the regular-season stretch drive.
The brilliance of Kentucky is a major topic, including how the Wildcats compare to great teams of the past, their favorite status in the upcoming tournament and the expectations of UK fans who have waited 14 seasons for another national title.
