Matt & Stak are coming to you live from the Players Era tournament in Las Vegas for a week packed with powerhouse college hoops matchups. They sit down with elite coaches Kelvin Sampson, Nate Oats, and Micah Shrewsberry to get real about the state of college basketball and the entire American basketball system. The crew covers NIL, agent influence, recruiting shifts, player development failures, and how each coach builds a winning culture in today’s landscape. This is a true masterclass with unfiltered conversations from some of the sharpest minds in the game, breaking down what is working, what is broken, and what needs to happen next to save American basketball.

Catch all of the Players Era tournament action on TNT, truTV, and HBO Max.
