(WWJ) — Last week the Oakland men’s basketball team lit the college basketball world on fire and thrust the Metro Detroit university into the national spotlight. Led by Jack Gohlke and his blistering shooting, 14-seed OU knocked off 3-seed Kentucky in an instant classic.

On a new Daily J podcast, WWJ’s Brian Fisher takes a look back at the Golden Grizzlies’ moment in the spotlight, what it was like for the players and what comes next for the program.
