Covered from the NCAA tournament.

Brought to you by Sandhills, Careers, and Insight Partner.

It is a great building that they're going to be in.

Pick on building.

It was done for the national duels and wrestling

earlier in the year.

And of course, I will head to Cleveland

with March Manning, March Manning in the Huskers.

See what they do at the NCAA.

Back to the brackets.

No pressure coach.

We're going to start at the top.

This is one of one.

This is a ball game for you.

The number one seated blue devils versus

your Ohio State buckets.

Who do you take?

I think Duke's really good.

Go and Duke.

Number five, St. John's versus number four, Kansas.

I don't think I don't trust the Kansas.

I'm going to go St. John's.

They've had some issues.

Coach Patino and St. John.

Yes.

Love the fire, man.

Number three, Michigan State versus number 11 South Florida.

Party.

It is March Izzo.

Man, we definitely understand.

Number two, Yukon versus number 10 UCF.

Yukon.

And that's going to be the best sweet 16 matchup.

Go ahead and call in the country.

Call it out.

That's the best one right there.

Call it out.

It is over.

I'm blanking on his name.

But I think Yukon's a sneaky.

No one's paying attention to them,

but they could easily win this thing again.

Yeah.

And then we're trending up until the tournament.

The tournament loss was a bad blowout loss.

And so some people kind of felt like,

but I mean, I think it happens in tournament.

So number one, Florida versus number nine, Iowa.

Florida.

Gators, he chooses number four, Scars.

Number five, Vanderbilt.

Huskers.

Scars by 90.

Let's go.

Number 11, VCU versus number three, Illinois.

Do I do it, D.P.?

Bro, say what you feel.

Let's do it.

11, VCU.

You don't get used to the chant.

You don't want to go to war with the Rams.

They don't stop.

Can't stop.

And maybe the greatest college band,

the VCU Peppas.

The Peppas, maybe the best Peppan in all of the land.

Just don't feel bad about it.

The number two, Houston Cougs versus the Aggies of Texas A&M.

They also have a really cool chant.

The Cougs chant is pretty cool.

So on the other side, number two, Iowa State versus

the number seven Kentucky program.

Sir, the Wildcats are the Cyclones.

I want to pick Kentucky.

It's my former employer.

And I'm a huge Kentucky back in your bracket, but I just

don't think they're good enough this year.

So I'm going Iowa State.

He's going Cyclones to have the Wahoo's, the Wahoo's

of Virginia versus Miami of Ohio.

Let's keep it going Miami.

He's taking, he's taking the upstarts.

I'm going for it.

Number four Alabama.

Number 12, the Zips of Akron.

Bama.

Bama advances.

The number one Michigan Wolverines versus the number nine

folks from St. Louis, the Billikins.

Michigan.

He's going blue.

It hurts his heart.

It hurts his heart to say it.

Number two, Purdue.

Number 10, Mizzou.

We will go Purdue, Boilermakers.

Boilers are on a roll.

Boiler up.

Number three, Zags versus number six, BYU.

So for me, this is a toss up.

But I think you go with the experience team and experience

coach and Gonzaga gets through to the sweet 16.

Yeah, I just think that the best player in the country,

this is the showcase.

I think he's the difference, Mike.

Bach, how good is he?

I'm sorry, I was looking at something.

BYU.

Oh, that's why you're in the country.

Yeah.

I mean, he's got to be up there.

Obviously, in the NBA, they're going to be looking at

Darren Peterson.

He's going to be went on the court.

It could be right there.

But it is interesting, especially with both those guys too,

though, is that you can think of like Carmella Anthony's success.

But Anthony Davis, there's been guys over the years

they have this special freshman run.

But a lot more often than not, it doesn't turn out that way.

The NBA loves length, man.

The seven footer who can run, shoot, jump out the gym.

Listen, but we've done this before.

We've done this before.

We've seen it.

And I think this tournament is kind of the showcase

for how this thing plays out.

Number four, Arkansas.

Number five, Wisconsin.

Arkansas.

Got the hogs.

He's taking the hogs.

The Wildcats of Arizona.

Number one, Villanova at eight.

Arizona.

The Wildcats are the sexy pick along the way.

Time, sir, we are into a different bracket.

We are.

If you're a podcast host, listen up this once for you.

My name is Ally Jackson.

I'm the host of Finding Mr. Height,

a dating and relationship podcast that I've

been doing for four years now, sharing my positive and practical

approach to dating that's built on my own life experience.

And I wanted to share another experience that I've had,

my secret behind monetizing my show.

It's called Red Circle.

And I was just telling my colleague about how much I

love their platform with Red Circle,

not only am I getting a seamless hosting experience,

but I also love the support I receive in AdSales.

It's not just typical AdSales either.

It's targeted opportunities based on my show and my life.

And the platform is super simple.

You just set your preferences and Red Circle matches you

with sponsors that align with your show.

You can vet every opportunity.

And their platform gives you great analytics.

More recently too, my Red Circle team has brought me opportunities

outside of my podcast on social media to really augment

the podcast partnerships, bring them full circle.

I just can't recommend them enough.

To advance into elite status, number one Duke,

number four, number five, St. John's.

Patino versus the blue devil's.

Yeah, yeah, quite frankly, I said this on a show back ease.

That if St. John's, if Duke is going to get got,

this is where they get got.

If they don't, if St. John's doesn't beat him here,

I don't think they lose in the term.

Let's take him in.

Let's go, St. John's.

St. John's, he's taking Michigan State UConn.

Go Charlie, man.

Tom is those going down.

Sorry, Tom.

Look at you.

Look at you go.

Look at you go.

Number one, four to gators versus scurs.

Huskers.

We'll take him down.

One more, let's go another dub for the scurs.

Scurs.

And then we'll have the matchup.

That's where we're looking at.

Oh, this would be, I would be, I would be, listen to me.

There are people who think I'm just unbearable many times.

But if this were to happen,

I would be just outside of myself.

I don't know what I would do.

I don't know.

I don't know what I would do.

But it's number 11 VCU, number two Houston.

And it's a better matchup than people think.

It's a bug.

The tendencies, the way Houston has lost internaments

has been active defensive athletic teams

that match their energy, like for the duration.

And then it comes down to one or two possessions.

Number 11 VCU, number two Houston coach who you got.

Should we just do it?

I can, I'm, I listen, you know, I think they're hot.

I think both teams are playing well.

I'll just go, I'll just go, I'll go VCU.

I'm not mad at you.

And we'll have that.

I'm not mad at you.

The epic earthquake, I listen to the other part of this.

And there's some metric to it.

And I'll explain in the final second.

But there's, this literally is playing.

Again, Peter and I have not talked about this.

So this is, but there's a system that plays into that gives

some people at the ticket, some of its favorite moments.

And there's one coming as well, because of this.

You got number two Iowa State, Miami of Ohio.

We'll go Iowa State.

I just don't think Miami can do it too much longer.

It's a lot Michigan, Alabama.

Let's Michigan, Michigan.

All right, Bach, we've reached the final four.

We got one more bracket.

No, no, we're gonna get there, right?

But what, what say you about those, those picks to make it

to the elite eight?

Hey, I mean, everybody's got their brackets.

You be picking some, I love, I love at least picking some upsets,

right along the way.

But yeah, I mean, it's always, it's always also pretty healthy

to go chalk, especially in the last couple of years.

Arizona, Arkansas.

Arkansas.

Look at you taking the upset.

Peter's a rebel.

He's a rebel.

The Zags and the Border Makers.

Purdue taking Purdue.

So this is what we're left with.

There's one number one seed left.

That's crazy.

What am I doing?

Yeah, he's throwing the chalk away.

He's going Sharpie.

He's going Sharpie.

What am I doing?

He's going Sharpie.

Do we want to get to the final four here?

Let's do it.

Let's get to the final four.

Oh, co-bought.

You are, you are a rebel.

St. John's Yukon.

Yukon.

Purdue, Arkansas.

Purdue.

He's taking the twos.

He's taking the twos.

Michigan, Iowa State.

Michigan.

Take in the blue.

And then we're going to Huskers.

Scared.

They're taking them.

Scared in the final four.

Scared in the final four.

Here's what, here's what, Bach, here's what, what happened.

So the difference in my pool and co-bought

is that I picked Duke only because, and then it ended up

being this thing, right?

Did I also pick Nebraska?

Hey, Bach.

Imagine Austin, Ormond.

Imagine Austin, the world, the mind of Austin, Ormond.

And we're going to bring him in.

If he hasn't left, we're going to bring him in.

Because I have a sneaky suspicion.

His final four is very close to this.

And that he has Nebraska versus Duke in the final four.

And I have questions.

I have questions.

Because if Nebraska and VCU play,

I'm not sure.

Bach and my total honesty, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I can't lose.

I cannot lose, no matter what happens.

So I'm OK.

Can you win, though?

Yes, there we go.

Either way, I win.

Either way, I win.

Either way, I win.

Austin, we'll get, he just walked in.

We'll set the table for it.

We'll get Cobalt's picks for the final four.

And how he thinks this thing plays out when we come back.
