Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast, hang up and listen for the week of March 26, 2018.

On this week's show, we'll discuss NCAA tournament matters, including Loyola Chicago's

Cinderella run to the Final Four, Duke's ouster and the Elite Eight, and whether any

women's team other than Yukon matters.

We'll also talk about protesters blocking the entrance to the Sacramento King's Arena after the

police killing of Stefan Clark,

and what that protest signifies about the state of activism in sports. And finally,

we'll look at Kevin Love, DeMarerosen, and the conversation they started about mental health.

The great and powerful Stefan Fats is off this week. Joining me in our DC studio is Gene Demby. Gene is a correspondent

for NPR's Code Switch, a blog and podcast about race and identity. It's great to have you back.

Thank you for having me, man. And with us from Palo Alto is Joel Anderson of ESPN, who is at the

West Regional in L.A. to watch the Michigan Wolverines shoot four for 22 from three and a

scintillating four-point win over Florida State. You really know how to pick them, Joel.

Oh, man. Well, you know, I like games as much like football games as possible.

You got a, you know, a game in the 50s. That's really your speed in 2018.

The star of the West Regional, Joel, was Leonard Hamilton.

Oh, my God. The Florida State Coach, Joel, you tweeted that Hamilton was a personal hero of yours for refusing to wear a button-up shirt.

Oh, yeah, and pie. Yeah, I mean, he just clearly, this was a decision he's made. I never got a chance to ask him about it.

I can't find a picture of him in a tie.

So clearly this is something that he's made in the decision that he's going to go with for the rest of his life.

So you know the other thing that Leonard Hamilton doesn't do besides where a tie is get his team to foul when they're down with four points with 11 seconds to go.
