Notable stories and moments from 2024--Mid-Major Madness

Oakland and Jack Gohlke stun Kentucky

Jack Gohlke will forever be a March Madness legend. The shooting star poured in 32 points on 10-for-20 shooting from deep to lead the No. 14-seeded Oakland Golden Grizzlies to an upset of No. 3 Kentucky in the first round of the 2024 Tournament.

P.S.: Greg Kampe is a national treasure.

Doug Gottlieb is at Green Bay ... and it’s not going well

Fox Sports Radio host/shock jockey/professional talker Doug Gottlieb became the head coach at Green Bay in the offseason and has kept his national radio show (despite the days that Green Bay loses to a non-Division I team at home). Yeah, that’s a lot to unpack there. The Phoenix are 2-13 and things could be much better up in Wisconsin.
