Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily, presented by Amazon Prime for March 20th,

202026. I'm Dave DeFora here with Brian Geisinger coming up. Congratulations to the VCU Rams

for moving on in the March Madness tournament.

Cade Cunningham is going to miss some time.

We're going to talk about the ramifications of that, for the Pistons,

and we're going to hit on the Hornets and who's coming out of the east.

Good morning, everybody.

What is up, Brian Geisinger, friend of the show, host of the Buzzbeat Charlotte Hornets podcast, filling in for Zena for the show. How are you doing, buddy?

I'm doing well. I'm called in sick to work with March Madness, and I'm happy to be with you.

Thanks for me back on.

You know, I'm happy to drag you away from the exciting college basketball games to talk

about Hornets Magic, the blowout, which we'll get to the Hornet stuff after the break.

I do actually want to start with the tournament.

Shout out to the VCU Rams, Richmond's pride for beating the UNC tar heels.

I feel like everyone in America had to have been rooting for VCU.

Brian, did you get a chance to catch that the ending?

They came back from 19 points down.

Force overtime.

Amazing.

It was, so I would say as someone who uh flipping channels do i don't have like the quad

box set up in part because i'm cutting up tCU ohio state film from earlier two so i've just

kind of got the one extra screen going and when that was a 14 point game with about seven minutes
