·1 hr 3 min·5 clips

One week from tonight, we'll be talking about a bracket as we head into Champ Week after a weekend of upsets and comebacks.

The episode begins on Daylight Savings Sunday, with the hosts excitedly setting the stage for Championship Week after a weekend full of close games, blowouts, and upsets. They start by recapping St. John's win over Seton Hall to clinch the Big East regular season title, praising Rick Pitino's turnaround and the team's interior play. A significant portion is dedicated to debating Miami (Ohio)'s 31-0 season, with Sean passionately defending their inclusion in the NCAA tournament against critics, including Auburn's Steven Pearl. The hosts then run through other key results: Duke's win over North Carolina despite losing Caleb Foster to injury, UConn's loss to Marquette which raises questions about their elite status, Florida's dominant win over Kentucky, and Houston's narrow escape against Oklahoma State. They also touch on results involving Arizona, Iowa State, BYU, Virginia, Kansas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisville, Vanderbilt, and Michigan's win over Michigan State. In part two, they preview conference tournaments, starting with automatic bids already clinched by teams like Northern Iowa. They analyze the ACC (favoring Duke), Big East (predicting a St. John's vs. UConn final), Big 12 (noting its brutal depth and Arizona's challenge), Big Ten (highlighting Michigan and Michigan State), and SEC (viewing Florida as the favorite). Will also highlights mid-major conferences to watch, like the Mountain West and WCC. The episode concludes with anticipation for the upcoming week of non-stop basketball and the upcoming bracket reveal.
