Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve are here to react to the 2026 NCAA Tournament March Madness bracket. Steve gives his UNFILTERED thoughts on all the issues with the bracket. Duke's draw is TOUGH, and Steve is giving his Blue Devils NO CHANCE of reaching Indy. A potential Florida-Vandy rematch isn't ideal, and a road game in the Elite 8?? Plus, will chalk indeed fly? Is it Arizona's year? Which upsets does SVP like the most? Plus, a solution to the flopping problem, reaction to Bam Adebayo's 83-point game and an in-depth breakdown of Cam Young's Players Championship victory. Finally, thoughts on the nasty front taking over the east coast, Steve needs tickets to the Women's Final Four, an all-time SVP golf tactic and Steve's admission to grand theft auto. | SVPod
