It is Sunday again so that means there is another Sunday Mailbag.  The Mailbag focuses on the biggest NCAA basketball stories from the week in NCAA college basketball.  This last week was a doozie in terms of huge news for the sport. We will get into all of that as well as some of the other goings on within the College Basketball landscape this week. I will also try to focus on one unknown team or player and give my thoughts on them.

There is so much to talk about this week that it was hard to only pick four topics to discuss.  There was a legendary coach who announced his retirement which means a job is going to open up at the end of the season. A historic upset happened to one of the country’s best teams. There was so much to unpack in the upset that it may take two questions to fully answer it.  Finally, let’s close with a look at a mid-major player who is making a ton of waves in NBA circles and very few people know about him.

This is one of my favorite articles to write every single week. I enjoy giving you insight into my thoughts on some of the biggest stories every week.  I hope you all enjoy reading this article as much as I enjoy writing it. If you ever want to ask a question, do not hesitate to ask. I am always available on Twitter or Facebook. My answers to this week’s biggest questions are below.
