The madness of March is reaching its climax as the Sweet 16 is set, but something's missing this year—the Cinderellas. For the first time since the 1980s, no team seeded 11 or lower has crashed the second weekend party, making this a chalk-heavy tournament that's defying expectations.
Our hosts dive deep into what's making this tournament unique, with UConn continuing their dominant run and covering spreads at a remarkable rate. The coaching carousel spins at full speed too, with Sean Miller's controversial exit from Xavier to Texas creating waves—a move that may have been in the works even as Xavier was still dancing. Richard Pitino emerges as the surprising replacement, breaking Xavier's long tradition of promoting from within.
The crew shares personal gambling tales that'll have you laughing, including Bags' epic story about how winning a $300 bet led to purchasing a $200 White Sox pullover after an all-day "Barummer Fest" involving a Fireball keg and stadium club tickets. Joey counters with his whirlwind sports tour, hitting elite golf courses and witnessing Xavier's improbable comeback against Texas in Dayton.
Looking ahead, the team breaks down the most intriguing Sweet 16 matchups, with the Alabama-BYU over/under sitting a whopping 20 points higher than any other game. Baseball fans get their due too, with Opening Day picks and season-long futures advice as the MLB season kicks off.
