March Madness 'expert' analysis with guest co-host Canon Claycomb, Duke's Ethan Evans
With regular host – and temporary Michigan State fan – Burko off this week, Brentley seeks out former Alabama golfer Canon Claycomb as a fill-in for the annual March Madness episode. They first get into a myriad of results, from LSU's statement win at Pauma Valley to Wake Forest's 3-0 performance at Old Barnwell in a premier women's match-play event. Luke Potter's incident with Rory McIlroy is discussed, as is PGA Tour University Accelerated – specifically why Brentley doesn't see another 20-point guy after Jackson Koivun for some time. Then Duke's Ethan Evans, fresh off a runner-up at the General Hackler, joins from the team van (apologies on the audio, but it gives us character!). He fields a few golf questions before we get into the important business. Ethan is a ball-knower, and he certainly shows off his knowledge of college hoops. Canon carries McNeese's water as a potential Cinderella. And Brentley goes chalk (unsurprisingly). If you need some help filling out your brackets, there's some decent nuggets in here (starting at the 47-minute mark). Enjoy!

Back from 'baby break' with Nick Clinard, coach of the No. 1 Auburn Tigers
After a week off so Brentley could enjoy some time with his family and kid No. 2, George, he and Burko catch up on one of the biggest two-week stretches of the year. Southern Highlands, Cabo, Darius Rucker – it's all discussed in depth while the guys also welcome Auburn's Nick Clinard, who dishes on the No. 1 Tigers and their looming NCAA title defense later this spring, plus his standout sophomore – and future PGA Tour member – Jackson Koivun. There is also a March Madness bet made between Nick and Burko (Florida). Many other results are spun through before things close with Brentley dreaming of the days of the Pizza Hut buffet.

Florida State is DOMINATING the headlines; Trey Jones interview
In this week's episode, Burko and Brentley welcome Florida State director of golf Trey Jones, whose golf programs – and junior Luke Clanton – dominated the headlines this past week. Clanton is a big topic, as well as what can we expect from the Seminoles, both men and women, later this spring. Big results are discussed, from the Watersound to the Gator to Moon Golf, before Brentley reports on a few news items, including another All-American departing UCLA.

How Cohen Trolio became college golf's best comeback story
In this episode of College Golf Talk, Burko joins Brentley from the road ahead of a big A-10 women's hoops matchup to break down some of the top results in college golf, from Big Tom Morrison's win at the Amer Ari to the Stanford women staying dominant to a wild – and flu-filled – Puerto Rico Classic, where Purdue got its biggest win of the Andrew Sapp era. The episode is capped with an in-depth interview with Ole Miss junior Cohen Trolio, who transferred from LSU last summer and has returned to being a relevant name in elite amateur golf. Trolio talks about past struggles and expectations, what he's learned, and what it will take to not only win an NCAA title but for him to make the PGA Tour one day.
