Summary

March Madness returns tonight with the Sweet 16, and the storylines are just getting good. Following a pair of stunning losses by blue bloods Kentucky and Kansas, and a return to form by Gonzaga, we’re asking ourselves if UConn can be villainous enough to capture the first two-peat since the 2007 Florida Gators? Whether Zach Edey can get Purdue over the top? And if NC State can be the Cinderella story to sweep through this tournament? ESPN host and college basketball writer Myron Medcalf gives us his take on that and more as the tournament action gets back underway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

is going to be one of those tournaments where when we get to the end there won't be

0:49.2

So before we dive into the analysis now that we know you're going to be on the road any particular venues

0:54.1

you'd like to hit and which regions do you think will be the liveliest?

0:57.0

Well I'll be in Detroit you know so obviously Purdue will be there I think you know

1:02.2

the guys at the east with Yukon that's probably

1:04.0

gonna be the reason everybody's talking about because of the two peep

1:15.4

buzz around that I think you know Houston and Dallas would be interested you know kind of

1:19.5

on the ropes a little bit against Texas A&M, how does that affect things?

1:23.7

And then I feel like North Carolina is almost like the wild card.

1:27.1

Nobody's really talking about them.

1:28.7

They played really well, and it's weird to see a North Carolina team fly under the radar, but in a weird way, that's kind of how it feels.
