·51 min·5 clips

Duke's March Madness collapse is blamed on Cameron Boozer's fading aggression and favorable refereeing.

The episode begins with the host introducing co-hosts Tyler Seabreeze and Alan Zanders for a sports discussion. They first cover MLB opening weekend, starting with the Yankees' 3-1 record, noting the team returned 24 of 26 players from last year's ALDS roster. Criticism is directed at the lack of offseason moves and manager Aaron Boone's bullpen management in a 2-1 loss to Seattle. The Mets' 3-1 start is analyzed, highlighting Bo Bichette's early struggles and Luis Robert's strong performance, suggesting his White Sox struggles were team-related. The conversation shifts to March Madness, with the Final Four set: UConn, Illinois, Arizona, and Michigan. The panel debates Duke's tournament run, criticizing Cameron Boozer's draft stock and refereeing in their loss to UConn. They discuss Illinois' potential and the decline of Cinderella teams in modern college basketball. The episode closes with NFL draft prospects, where a Jets fan expresses pessimism about the team. Prospects like Sonny Styles, Arvel Reese, and Mendoza are highlighted, along with team needs for the 49ers and Seahawks.
