Reese and Alex discuss how close the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams came to the Division II Final Four, before turning their attention to the NCAA Division I First Four matchups and the controversy surrounding NC State’s seeding and performance under Will Wade.

The Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team had a standout 2025-26 season, highlighted by winning the CIAA Women's Basketball Tournament championship for the first time in program history with a 60-43 victory over Fayetteville State University. They finished the year with an impressive record (around 25-3) and built momentum with dominant performances throughout the conference tournament, including a blowout semifinal win. Their success earned them a bid to the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Tournament, marking their first appearance in years. In the tournament, they defeated Glenville State University in the opening round and followed that with a strong 67-48 win over Gannon University to reach the Atlantic Region championship game. However, their run ended yesterday when they lost to Indiana University of Pennsylvania, falling just one game short of advancing to the Division II Final Four.

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if there were any issues with the NCAA Tournament seeding.

The seeding for the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament is determined through a process called bracketology, where the NCAA selection committees rank teams based on their performance during the season. In the men’s tournament, which features 68 teams, the four No. 1 seeds are the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball, Arizona Wildcats men's basketball, Michigan Wolverines men's basketball, and Florida Gators men's basketball. Were there any egregious mistakes, omisisons, additions, etc? Who are the early favorites to make the Final Four?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex break down the top 16 seeds in the Women’s NCAA Tournament and analyze Duke's NCAA Tournament chances without Ngongba II and Foster.

The Saturday night championship game of the 2026 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament took place on March 14 in Charlotte and featured the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball against the Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball. Duke defeated Virginia 74-70. Duke was led by Isaiah Evans, who scored 20 points, while Cameron Boozer sealed the victory with two clutch free throws in the final seconds. The win gave Duke its second straight ACC tournament title under head coach Jon Scheyer and added another championship to the program’s long history in the conference. Both teams were already expected to make the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, so the game also helped determine their seeding heading into March Madness. Duke won this tournament championship without the services of two starters, Caleb Foster and Patrick Ngongba II. Assuming both miss the NCAA Tournament, how much does the potential absence of both Foster and Ngongba II affect Duke's chances?

The seeding for both the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament and the 2026 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament is determined through a process called bracketology, where the NCAA selection committees rank teams based on their performance during the season. In the women’s tournament, the four No. 1 seeds are the UConn Huskies women's basketball, UCLA Bruins women's basketball, Texas Longhorns women's basketball, and South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball. UConn earned the overall No. 1 seed after completing an undefeated regular season and entering the tournament on a long winning streak. Did the NCAA selection committees get it right? Was anyone ranked incorrectly?
