Summary

0:00 Duke - Illinois

26:26 Cubs

35:00 Matt's Trip

44:00 MJ's House

54:40 Anti-Matter

1:01:00 DBU Picks

March Madness delivered a stunner as Duke blew a 15‑point halftime lead, becoming the first No. 1 seed in tournament history to lose a game after leading by 15 or more at the break—dropping the record for those teams to 134‑1. We break down the collapse and what it says about pressure in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Illinois takes down Iowa to punch its ticket to the Final Four and now faces UConn on Saturday with a shot at a national championship. Arizona and Michigan round out the field—how does this Final Four stack up?

On the baseball side, the Cubs and Tom Ricketts continue spending to secure the future. With Nico Hoerner joining Pete Crow‑Armstrong as long-term extensions, what message does this send to fans—and more importantly, to players knowing they’re mentally and financially locked in for years to come?

We also dive into a couple of head-scratchers:

The owner of Michael Jordan’s former mansion proposes a plan for Highland Park that we think is flat-out silly

Anti-matter is being moved, which—call us cautious—does not sound particularly safe

Plus, we wrap it up with DBU Picks for Monday night NBA action.
