It’s time to break down individual regions, starting with the South Region and No. 1 overall seed Alabama. Is there anyone that can touch Brandon Miller & the rest of the Crimson Tide? Arizona looked great in knocking off UCLA in the Pac12 Championship. Can their dominant frontcourt of Oumar Ballo and Azuolas Tubelis make it to the Elite 8 and beat Bama? Will Baylor’s dominant guards assert themselves? Who’s a sleeper? We’ve got picks, MVP predictions, and a breakout star to watch.
Moving to the East Region and the 4th No. 1 seed – Purdue. Will the freshman backcourt of Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer be able to hold up under the rigors of the NCAA Tournament. Will Zach Edey be able to assert himself the way he did all season? This region is loaded with Basketball royalty – Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, Tennessee. Will the Boilermakers ride to Houston or will someone get in their way?
Chris Beard is already back in coaching, hired by Ole Miss to replace Kermit Davis. Hosts Andy Patton and Isaac Schade discuss their thoughts on re-hiring Beard so quickly.
