Coach Steve Lavin from FOX Sports and the PAC-12 Network joined The Midday Show with John Michaels and Randy McMichael (filling in for Rick Kamla) to talk about the NCAA tourney and this week's conference tournaments. Coach Lavin compared championship week to rebirth for teams because all teams restart at zero to get their chance to make it to the dance by winning your conference.

Lavin mentioned that there is a saturation of basketball because we see every game now because of all the cable, station options and mobile choices.

Coach Lavin described how Virginia has played this season and if the Cavaliers could possibly win it all. He doesn’t think North Carolina has the firepower to win it all, but expects them to make a run. Lavin considers Duke to have a very talented team and thinks the Blue Devils have a chance to compete for the title.

There have always been challenges in amateur sports regarding bagmen and players being paid, Coach Lavin reminded us. He thinks the investigation will stimulate rule changes and better enforcement of modernized rules. He says we haven’t had to stay up with the evolution of how much college athletics has changed, but he is optimistic things will change and get better. The rules should be modernized along the same lines as they did with Olympic athletes, Lavin argues.

Coach Lavin broke down Arizona’s DeAndre Ayton’s play and what he can do with the ball and how he sees the court. Lavin called him a franchise-changing player. 

Former Atlanta Braves outfielder Brian Jordan joined The Midday Show with Rick Kamla and John Michaels live from Orlando where he's watching the Braves in Grapefruit League action.

Jordan told us that Ronald Acuña is special and has incredible power. He compared the prospect to a cocky Andruw Jones back in the day. Jordan talked about how to weigh the right time to bring Acuna to the big league in regard to his contract and the control the Braves would have over him. However, if it were up to him him, he would have Acuna on the roster on opening day.

Jordan praised second baseman Ozzie Albies for the way he has fit in with the team and looks like he belongs right now and showing power from both sides of the plate. He also mentioned he feels good about Dansby Swanson and Albies playing next to each other.

The slider being used by Julio Tehran during spring training will help him at SunTrust Park and will enable him to go in on hitters more this season like he has thus far, believes Jordan. He thinks Tehran will be in the 15 to 20-win range this season if he stays healthy and could make the All-Star team.

Swanson will be fine, said Jordan, and doesn’t care or look at batting averages and thinks he will be fine when the season rolls around.

Carlos talked about playing going straight to the pros in order to make money to take care of their families and that's why you see more players going over seas and then coming back to play in the NBA. Carlos gave us his impressions of the Sean Miller story saying you can't judge a book by it's cover and at the end of the day you need to have all your facts straight before you start accusing people of a crime.
