·1 hr 6 min·5 clips

Justin passionately argues North Carolina's 95-68 win doesn't prove they deserved a tournament spot, despite R.J. Davis scoring 26 points.

The episode begins with a debate about whether North Carolina deserved their NCAA Tournament bid after a 95-68 First Four win over San Diego State, with Justin arguing against it based on their full season. The hosts then preview each region, starting with the West where they discuss UConn's tough matchup against Florida and St. John's under Rick Pitino. In the East, they analyze Duke's situation with Cooper Flagg's injury and their Final Four expectations. The South region discussion includes Auburn as the number one overall seed and sleeper picks like North Carolina and UC San Diego. For the Midwest, they examine Houston's chances and mid-majors like McNeese State. Both hosts predict Florida to reach the championship game, with Steve picking them over Duke and Justin over Houston. The conversation shifts to Indiana hiring Darren DeVries as head coach. Later, they discuss the NFL, focusing on the Bengals signing Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins and whether Joe Burrow can win a Super Bowl given organizational issues. The episode ends with a quick MLB segment comparing the Dodgers' repeat chances to the Cubs making the playoffs.
