In The Circle

We are down to eight teams left in Division 2 and 16 each in D1 as well as D3. On this episode of In The Circle, we will break down all three divisions in one episode (because we can). First, Wayne Cavadi joins the podcast with his thoughts on Division 2 National Championships in Chattanooga and what teams have the best chance to win it all. 

After witnessing one of the wildest Championship Sundays in recent memory, we have a few things to get off our chest. On our latest episode of In The Circle, Victor has strong thoughts on the NCAA's treatment of schools once eliminated and how one school called out ESPN about their lack of caring for their journey to the tournament. 

Now that we've figured out our Super Regional matchups, Victor Anderson breaks down all eight showdowns on this special Division 2 edition of In The Circle. He shares his key players to watch and predicts who will advance to Chattanooga next week. Hopefully, he can fare better than his picks last week, where he got only 10 of the 16 Super Regional teams correct.  

As we officially embark on another season of #Mayhem in the NCAA Tournament, In The Circle always has you covered. Today's episode features D1 Softball's Rhiannon Potkey, who shares her thoughts on each regional and makes some picks with Eric Lopez. Matt Monogan from MLB.com chats about his feature on UCF's Jasmine Williams on balancing softball and motherhood. Eric and Victor then make their regional predictions and thoughts on the USA Softball Player of the Year Top 3. 

We knew coming into Selection Sunday, and we would see some very controversial decisions. NOBODY was prepared for what actually happened. We will attempt to make sense of all of it in today's episode. Justin McLeod joins Eric Lopez and Victor Anderson as they look at the Field of 64, the reasoning behind Alabama's No. 5 seed, why Louisiana didn't host (and Clemson did), and some of the other juicy topics that came up on Sunday night.

Plus, we will replay our interviews on Selection Sunday night with Caylan Arnold and Dorian Craft. 

The road to Chattanooga has officially begun, and we will have you covered right here on In The Circle. Victor Anderson takes a look at all 8 Regions and all 16 Regionals. He shares what players to look for and who he thinks will advance to Super Regionals. Plus, he discusses the All-Region Teams. 

Yes, we know it's Wednesday, but you still know what that means. On our latest episode of In The Circle, we catch up with the one and only Cat Osterman about her first two seasons broadcasting on the Longhorn Network with Alex Loeb. She also talks about the retirement of Monica Abbott and breaks down the Big 12 Tournament. Victor Anderson joins and asks Eric Lopez some last-minute questions on what he will be looking for in various conference tournaments and their impact on his Bracketology, 

We are less than a week away from Selection Sunday and appear to have more answers than questions. As conference tournaments begin this week, we are preparing to answer some of those questions. On this episode of In The Circle, we preview the inaugural Pac-12 Tournament, where Arizona will look to avoid missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1986.
Pac-12 Network analyst and former Wildcast Kenzie Fowler joins the podcast to preview the tournament and her thoughts on the national landscape. 

It's setting up to be one of THOSE postseasons. We will have you covered on this episode of In The Circle. Today, we share our thoughts on USA Softball's Top 10 Player of the Year Finalists. The guys continue their campaign to add a Pitcher of the Year and Player of the Year. Plus, they give their thoughts on who will be in the Top 3 and who should have been added to the list. 

Eric Lopez chats with Central Arkansas Head Coach Jenny Parsons, who has the Sugar Bears as the #1 seed in the ASUN Tournament next week in DeLand. She joins In The Circle to reflect on UCA's outstanding 2023 season, her 1-2 punch of Jordan Johnson and Kayla Beaver, and much more. 

Eric and Victor Anderson have thoughts on Bracketology and the Division 2 Regional Rankings in what could be one of the most drama-filled Selection Shows in recent memory. 

As we officially enter May and its usual Mayhem, we attempt to clear things up on our latest episode of In The Circle. Does Northwestern have a shot at a Top 8 National Seed? Is Clemson in trouble in terms of hosting? Will the SEC get all 13 schools in the field? Those are just some of the questions that will be discussed on the podcast. Eric Lopez's chat with UCF's Sarah Willis after a perfect weekend (pun intended) against Houston. Also, Victor HATES obstruction (don't we all), and we have thoughts on the ASUN entering the final weekend of the regular season.
