I-O College basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss, canvolfited, Dodo Burge and

0:14.2

Leaky Black Matt Norlanda is here with me and as promised, we are doing short episodes

0:18.4

on each region in the 2021 NCAA tournament, the West Region, Don, East Region, Don. So

0:25.6

now we move to the South Region where Scott, Drew, Baylor Bears are the number one Cito,

0:30.0

Ohio State is the two-seek Chris Holman, you got appropriate credit there. Arkansas's

0:34.0

three-seed, Purdue is the four-seed dead leg. What interest you most about the South
