Summary
A year ago, Oregon basketball player Sedona Prince shamed the NCAA into a moment of reckoning. Her video about the "weight room" provided to women athletes in the NCAA tournament bubble stirred up a debate over discrepancies between the men's and women's tournaments, and turned Prince into an overnight celebrity. The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll caught up with Prince and her mother a year later, and she joins us today to explain how Prince's life was transformed by the video, how she is using her massive social media platform today, and how her actions influenced this year's tournament. Plus, Charlotte breaks down some of the more impressive performances we've seen in the first two rounds, and gives us her pick to win it all.
