Hosts Stuckey, Collin Wilson, Mike Randle and Eli Hershkovich give their first-take reactions to the freshly-unveiled NCAA Tournament Bracket. Stuckey -- of course -- bemoans Washington’s terrible draw, Eli explains why he’s done betting totals, and the guys debate whether or not Shaka Smart is done at Texas. They break down key takeaways from each region and even dive into some of their gut-call upset picks, including Northeastern over Kansas and even Belmont or Temple to the Sweet 16. The guys close the show by offering their preliminary Final Four picks (subject to massive changes in the next few days).
