Summary

ESPN College Basketball Analyst Jay Bilas and Rich preview the 2026 NCAA Tournament including his prediction of Duke and Michigan losing in upsets, the Arizona Wildcats winning it all, why Arkansas’ Darius Acuff Jr. could steal the spotlight and take the Razorbacks on a deep run, reveals that he thinks America hates Michigan basketball because of Rich’ non-stop honking, and says why the pairing of Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale might be the greatest thing to happen to sportscasting in decades. Rich and Brockman debate which teams are likely to make the NFL playoffs next season and if the Patriots or Chargers will have the more successful season. In ‘Overreaction Tuesday’ Rich weighs in on Jaylen Waddle’s trade from the Miami Dolphins to the Denver Broncos, Justin Fields’ trade from the Jets to the Chiefs, 49ers QB Brock Purdy’s MVP chances, one nail-biter after another in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, if we’re more likely than not to see a Thunder vs Pistons NBA Finals, and how many #1 seeds will make it to the Final Four.
