Segment 1: How the U.S. presidents stack up against each other.
With a membership of just 45, it's an elite club. But how does this selective group of Americans compare to each other? C-Span's 2017 Presidential Historians Survey tackled that subject for us, and one of the survey's experts told us why our former commanders-in-chief rank where they do.

Segment 2, beginning at 44:35: The latest news in college basketball.
With March Madness looming there is no shortage of college sports news, especially for a certain team calling Lawrence, Kansas, home. The upcoming NCAA tournament, and a recent nab of their 14th straight Big 12 title, aren't the only news stories featuring the University of Kansas' basketball program. We talked about a recent FBI investigation into the sport, and why a former Jayhawks player is involved.
