Summary

It's Tuesday, and after five, action-packed days of college basketball, a new Aaron Torres Podcast is... LIVE. Aaron recaps the entire opening weekend of college hoops, discussing the slew of upsets, the Big Ten's struggles, the Pac-12 thriving and much, much more. Here is a full recap of today's show: Why were there so many upsets and why did the Big Ten collapse: Aaron recaps a wild, five days of the NCAA Tournament - starting with the upsets. After we got a record-setting number of upsets this weekend, Aaron lists off several reasons why he thinks it happened - including a few you might not have thought of (4:00). He then discusses the Big Ten's disastrous weekend, wondering if the conference had the worst showing ever for a major conference tournament team (hint, it did). What went wrong? And can it be fixed (17:00)? The rest of the opening weekend in the NCAA Tournament: From there, Aaron looks at the rest of the opening weekend in the NCAA Tournament. He discusses the shocking rise of the Pac-12 - which has four teams in the Sweet 16 - and why its indisputable the conference is better than we gave it credit for (31:00). He discusses Alabama's first Sweet 16 since 2004 and why things could only get *better* for Nate Oats (37:30). He wraps talking Arkansas' first Sweet 16 since 1996 (42:00), the rise of second-year head coaches and why its time to appreciate the history Gonzaga continues to make.
