  • Hoop Talk Ep 241: HTP's First 4 In + First 4 Out Predictions for the NCAA Basketball Tournament

    Last year, to celebrate March Madness, we decided to make our own predictions for the First 4 In and First 4 Out for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. This year, we do it again!

    In this episode, we make their predictions for who we believe will be the last 4 to make it into the tournament and the unlucky 4 that will be sent packing. These selections were determined based on things like strength of schedule, quality wins, conference tournament success and some other small criteria. We also look at the predictions from ESPN's Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm from CBS Sports and discuss some of the teams in their predictions.
