The opening hour of the program, broadcast live from Twin Peaks in Glendale, featured a full crew with Roc, Manuch, and Jimmy B. reacting to Ketel Marte’s solo home run for the Dominican Republic against his Diamondbacks teammate Eduardo Rodriguez and Venezuela. The hosts joked about the state of the transfer portal in college basketball, noting that the SEC reportedly had only one senior, Mississippi State's Shawn Jones Jr., celebrated on Senior Night who had played his entire career at one school. In our "Replay: Rewind" segment, the crew listened back to Suns Radio Analyst Tim Kempton sharing his thoughts on the team's focus heading into tonight’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The segment also featured highlights from Team Italy captain Vinnie Pasquantino, who hit three home runs in a win over Mexico and addressed fans calling him "Mr. March" in a nod to Reggie Jackson. Later, "The Sports Professor" Rick Horrow joined the program live from the ACC Tournament to break down the latest business trends in sports. Horrow discussed the peak periods of the sports calendar, the record-breaking television ratings for this year’s World Baseball Classic, and the 24-hour nature of the NFL free agency cycle. The hour concluded with a look back at sports history in "On this Day" and an analysis of the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback strategy following the release of Kyler Murray in Football at 50.
