On this episode of the D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons discuss teams in the dreaded “low oxygen zone.” They highlight Vanderbilt’s roller-coaster series at Kentucky. Next they debate whether Arizona State belongs in the zone after costly losses despite a strong RPI/DSR. Then the discussion moves to Louisville’s ACC troubles and an important upcoming series with Clemson. Finally, they cover LSU being swept at home by Texas A&M, mounting injuries, and the broader SEC trend of champions struggling the next season. Plus a quick call to action to delay the transfer portal until after Omaha.
