Summary

March Madness is delivering, and so is this episode. From bracket chaos and UCLA surviving Duke to a viral coaching moment that had the entire internet debating what “good coaching” actually looks like… we’re breaking it all down. Julie, Abby, and Kinger react to the biggest headlines across women’s sports including record-breaking crowds, Angel City staying undefeated, and a historic run in tennis, before sitting down with Maryland head coach Brenda Frese and star guard Oluchi Okananwa to unpack the moment everyone’s been talking about. What really happened on that sideline? What did she actually say? And why did it resonate with so many people? Plus, the Party Starter, bracket updates, and a chaotic new game of “Read My Lips” you do not want to miss.
