Summary
No teases needed. THIS EPISODE IS THE GOODS. Complete NCAA Tournament reaction, analysis and everything you want for the morning after Selection Sunday. Here's how Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander sort through the bracket on this episode: the opening is first impressions about what the committee did and anything that stands out in a major way. The nitpicking is next (16:00), and then comes the region-by-region analysis. East is first (26:15), then West (36:30), then South (43:00), then Midwest (56:30). The pod wraps with Final Four and title picks (1 hour, 7 minutes).

| 0:38.6 | Hey there, it's Gary Parishett's Monday, March 18, 2019. Welcome back to the Ion College |
| 1:04.0 | basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camera fighting and leaky black Matt Norlander |
| 1:08.8 | is here with me and it's currently 1221 AM Eastern late on what was selection Sunday |
| 1:15.2 | the bracket is out. So let's dive right in. Norlander first some general thoughts on |
| 1:20.3 | the bracket. I got two questions for you. One, did the selection committee get the number |
| 1:25.1 | one seeds correct? Two, did the selection committee get the right 68 schools? They got |
| 1:31.8 | the one seeds correct. I have no issue with it. Michigan State has an interesting case. |
| 1:35.9 | It's the two seed in the east. Weirdly, it's the two seed in the east and would face the |
| 1:41.0 | number one overall seed in Duke. There is no true S curve and several a selection committee |
| 1:47.0 | long ago got rid of that practice. You wonder why maybe Michigan State and Michigan couldn't |

| 2:14.4 | The point I'm making here though is I have not looked at the bracket in terms of the like, |
| 2:18.4 | okay, it was there are reason why they didn't send Michigan State to the west and they didn't |
| 2:22.0 | send Michigan to the east. That was a little bit weird to me, but the one seeds I have no |
| 2:24.8 | issue with it whatsoever. This is as I'm sure a lot of listeners realize only the second |
| 2:28.7 | time ever. One conference has had three teams on the one line. The big east did it a decade |
| 2:33.5 | ago with Pittsburgh, Yukon and Louisville. So I don't have a problem there. As for did they |
