We'll open the show and spend the first hour talking all about Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs got one on the board. Wemby got in the paint, Castle stepped up big time, Jalen Brunson dribbled too much and KAT needs the ball more (3:00). Jonathan Givony was on a podcast with Woj and reiterated he would take Darryn Peterson #1 in the NBA Draft which leads us more into the odds of who will be picked where in the Top 3 (1:06:14). Chris touches more on the Brendan Sorsby ruling and why this might be the one the NCAA decides to take to court (1:17:41). Former LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly is consulting for Memphis Football???
