Summary
If you're reading this, we want your mailbag questions. Here's how to do it: submit your questions -- and a five-star rating -- in the Apple Podcasts review section. Every Wednesday, we'll have a mailbag-themed segment. Be funny, inquisitive, curious, ask whatever you'd like. You'll get shouts on the pod, too!

Norlander says which nine teams will be in the 2020 NCAA Tournament. From there, the Final Four + 1 (28:00) with picks and an elongated discussion on the games this weekend.
