Summary
On today’s episode, we have a bracket! All four guys are in studio to break down some instant reactions to the field of 68. We start things off with each guy giving their favorite upset of the first round before hitting on each region (04:13). We start with the West Region (10:31) where there are a lot of our favorite teams. How does Marty feel about Duke’s path? Is Rico concerned for Alabama? Is Gonzaga a lock to make the second weekend? Then we go to the South (20:05) where Arizona, Villanova and Tennessee top the region. And Michigan snuck into the tournament as an 11 seed. Is a banged up Arizona vulnerable early? Next, in the Midwest Region (27:53), did the Big Ten champs get under-seeded? Iowa took down Purdue Sunday and have been on a tear of late but still ended up on the 5-line. And the Badgers find themselves as the 3-seed. How does Big Cat feel about his team’s draw? Is the East Region (35:51) the toughest of the four? Which lower seed has the best shot for an upset? Could a red-hot Hokies team take down Texas? Then we welcome on Indiana junior forward Miller Kopp (43:57) who gives his thoughts on the Hoosiers’ seed. He says he and his teammates feel disrespected for being in a play-in game. Kopp also discusses the feeling of helping bring a “Blue Blood” back to the NCAA Tournament, and his Twitter beef with Dave Portnoy. And we get a bonus call from the B1G Champion Iowa Hawkeyes from their bus ride home from the B1G Tournament (56:09). We then wrap up the show giving our gut reaction Final Four, National Championship game and winner picks (01:02:15). Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review Barstool Bench Mob.
