Summary

The Final Four is set. Gary Parrish, Matt Norlander and Sam Vecenie discuss it from all angles -- specifically how Syracuse got here via Virginia's collapse. What does that mean for UVA's Tony Bennett? And what does Kansas' loss in the Elite Eight say, if anything, about Bill Self? Who's the best coach in this Final Four? How big of a story will the Syracuse and North Carolina scandals be? Is Buddy Hield hitting a game-winner the best possible story for next Monday night? This episode is more than an hour of basketball talk -- with a shoutout to Devan Downey.
