Episode 8 of T'd Up with Connor and Patrick returns to the brothers theme. Connor and Patrick McCaffery are joined by former Iowa men's basketball players Nicholas and Michael Baer.

Nicholas talks about his time with the Hawkeyes, how he got a spot at Iowa, his leadership style with the team and the play he and Connor perfected.

Michael, now with Siena, talks about how he went from manager to player, his scout team role, his transfer portal experience and Fran McCaffery's excitement for him landing with the Saints.

Then, the McCafferys and Baers pick vacation destinations for this week's draft.

T'd Up with Connor and Patrick is presented by Hames Homes.
