It’s March 20, and in this episode we’re previewing Oregon’s first-round opponent in the NCAA Tournament.

Just like we all expected, right?

OK, so before diving into the brackets for the Oregon men and the Oregon State women, Tyson and Shane take a moment to try and figure out how, exactly, we ended up in the most unexpectedly-expected place yet.

The Ducks tip Thursday against South Carolina at 1 p.m.

The Beavers begin Friday against Eastern Washington at 5 p.m.

Join us for some talk about the hoops, Oregon’s spring football practices and the Portland Timbers’ new signing, Jonathan Rodriguez.
