I'm Gary O'Reilly.

And this is playing with science.

It's late March, so it's simple.

We're all still bonkers.

Our brackets are busted, we've lost a bundle and our productivity has tanked.

But if your bracket is still intact and you're facing a perfect final four, then you, my

friend are in the money.

And that's probably not what's happening at all.

And giving us a thought-provoking view on the state of the NCAA and the socio-economic

impact of March madness, we will have renowned sports economist Andrew Zimbliss co-author

of the recent book, Unwinding Madness.

What went wrong with college sports and how to fix it?

Yeah, that's going to be interesting to hear what he has to say.

And then bringing us an inside track on a player's psychology and their coping mechanisms will

be neuroscientist Dr Heather Berlin and sports psychologist Dr. Leah Lagos.

Yeah, but that's not all our good friend, bracketologist Chris Dobrotein, who is the author

of blogging the bracket and also works for SB Nation.

He is here right now to tell us all about what's going on in the NCAA tournament.

Thanks, my friend.

Welcome back.

And are we nuts yet?

Are we completely nuts now after everything that's happened?
