Welcome to Annie and Ari on three.

Ari will be by later to help answer questions from you.

I am here now, and I am laughing because we have a thumbnail that has the Jeremy

Pruitt in the checkerboard babushka photo because Jeremy Pruitt made news Thursday and did my favorite thing that you can do during

the NCAA tournament gave me a football basketball crossover story. I love that. I love when the

worlds of college football and the worlds of college basketball collide during the NCAA

tournament because this is a great

tournament. The games last night were fantastic. Duke, Arizona was awesome. Texas Tech, Arkansas was

amazing. Texas Tech was down, huge, came back, beats Arkansas. Texas Tech going to play Florida

in the Elite 8 in San Francisco on Saturday. Duke and Alabama in the elite eight in Newark on Saturday.

And we've got a bunch of great games tonight.

We've got Kentucky and Tennessee and the Sweet 16 in Indianapolis.

That is followed by Purdue and Houston.

We've also got Ole Miss and Michigan State, the toughest team versus the team that got really mad about being called frauds because they're not frauds.

And then we got Michigan and Auburn in Atlanta for a spot in the elite eight.

Now, why is Auburn important to the college football story I was talking about,

the Jeremy Pruitt $100 million lawsuit against the NCAA?

Because Auburn coach Bruce Pearl is the perfect defense against Jeremy Pruitt's

$100 million lawsuit against the NCAA.

So we'll back up and I'll give you a little background on the whole thing.

And then I'll explain why Bruce Pearl is the ultimate defense.

And you know me.
