FACT CHECK: The end of the show featured a train wreck of errors. For whatever reason, we started discussing Hampton during final thoughts despite this being a Big 12 Preview. A shoutout was given to Tristan Maxwell from Jon Teitel for his triple-double in tonight’s exhibition game. Upon hearing this, Chad was so impressed he said Hampton was going to be his pick to win the MEAC this year. Tristan Maxwell did have a triple-double, but it was in December of last season during a regular season game and not on Thursday night. In fact, he isn’t even on the team anymore. Hampton is also no longer in the MEAC. They are now in the CAA. And Hampton lost their exhibition game to Bowie State tonight. Oh well, it is a preseason podcast. These don’t count.
