And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com,

Sam Webb, Mr. Iroindtrov on the other side.

So the men's final four is set.

And it is all chalk for the first time since 2008.

And how's your bracket looking?

I mean, this was the, if you were mostly chalk throughout the brackets, you did pretty well. And I think, I think that is, I think it's a blueprint moving forward.

If you're looking at how the portal is tracking now, man, it's all of the, the talent now

is flowing upstream.

It's more true than ever.

You're harvesting that talent from those lower ranks and pulling it up.

And I really am feeling even stronger now that the Cinderella is going to be dead.

I think Cinderella is dead and buried.

Then they asked Dusty about this.

Was this in his pregame presser?

I think this was the pregame pressure leading up to it.

And he said, that quote, I'm paraphrasing because I don't have it in front of me,

but he basically said, Cinderella is not dead.

She's just sticking around a lot less, a lot shorter.

Right?

Cinderella is going to win a game in the first round here and there. But Cinderella getting the second weekend, making more noise is going to get harder and harder.

And the fact is, Sam, it bears out into better games.

The margin of victory was the closest over the second, third, and fourth rounds was like the closest it's been in a bunch of years.
