• 1:42
  you saw on CBS that they picked the people for the tournament. And
• 1:47
  I want to go over all the teams with everybody so that everybody knows what
• 1:49
  the brackets are. If you didn't get a chance to listen on CBS,
• 1:53
  you can hear it here and then you can go to your brackets, you
• 1:57
  know, on through the newspaper or online, however you do it. So
• 2:00
  here we go. Let's get into it. This is what is going on
• 2:04
  for the NCAA Tournament. This won't be a long show. We're not going
• 2:07
  to talk about anything else. We're not talking to entertainment today. We're not
• 2:10
  talking to any football news, any Chicago Bears news. If you know where
• 2:15
  I'm going, you'll hear that on Friday. I have a lot of stuff
• 2:19
  I want to talk about Friday, and so we're gonna get into it then.
• 2:23
  But today we're focusing just on March Madness. So the twenty twenty four
• 2:27
  NC DOUBLEA Division One Men's Basketball Championship starts this weekend and officially kicks off Thursday,
• 2:36
  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but there are a few games that
• 2:38
  are starting tomorrow and Wednesday to lead up into the tournament. Those games are
• 2:45
  on March nineteenth and twentieth. We have number sixteen Howard against number sixteen Wagner.
• 2:52
  We have number ten Virginia versus number ten Colorado State, and then we
• 2:57
  have another day of Montana State at number sixteen, Takan Grambling at sixteen,
• 3:05
  and then we have Boise State at number ten facing off against Colorado at number
• 3:08
  ten. Those eight teams, four of them will move on into the tournament
• 3:14
  into whatever position they're in. So if they're a number sixteen seed, they
• 3:17
  will play be the number sixteen seed in the tournament. If they're the number
• 3:21
  ten, they will play the number ten. They'll be the number ten seed.
• 3:24
  You know, that's how it usually goes. There used only be two
• 3:28
  games. Now they're doing four. So yeah, they're doing it a little
• 3:30
  different. But here we go. So here is the tournament. On the
• 3:35
  east side of the board. We're gonna have number one Yukon facing number sixteen
• 3:39
  Stetson. There were twenty two and twelve. Number eight seed Florida Atlantic will
• 3:47
  face off against number nine Northwestern San Diego State at number five will face number
• 3:54
  twelve. UAB Number four Auburn will face number thirteen, Number eight or No.
• 4:03
  Number six BYU will face number eleven. I don't even know how to
• 4:10
  say this. I've never even heard of this College de Bequini, never heard
• 4:14
  of them. They were twenty four and eleven though pretty decent record. Number
• 4:17
  three Illinois fighting ALIONI who just won the Big ten championship yesterday over Wisconsin.
• 4:23
  We'll face off against number fourteen more Head State. Number seven of Washington State
• 4:30
  takes on Drake at number ten, and then number two Iowa State will face
• 4:34
  off against South Dakota State, who's number fifteen. I've definitely got Illinois going
• 4:40
  kind of far in this. I think that they're a pretty decent team,
• 4:45
  pretty cut and dry. I'm not going to go into all my picks or
• 4:47
  anything. I did my picks yesterday already. But yeah, I mean I
• 4:53
  could go into it, but let me run through the list of all the
• 4:56
  teams first, and then I'll go through my bracket and show you who I
• 4:59
  have as the chainampion. Okay, so let's go into the west. Now,
• 5:02
  North Carolina at number one, we'll face number sixteen winner either Howard or
• 5:09
  Wagner. Let's see number eight Mississippi State. We'll face off against number nine
• 5:15
  Michigan State. Number five Saint Mary's we'll face off against number twelve Grand Canyon.
• 5:23
  Let's see number four Alabama. We'll face number thirteen Charleston. Number six
• 5:30
  Clemson, we'll face off against number eleven New Mexico. Number three Baylor will

• 6:00
  Number eight Nebraska faces number nine Texas A and m number five Wisconsin we'll
• 6:06
  face off against number twelve James Madison, and it's funny because James Madison went
• 6:13
  thirty one and three and they are coming in at number twelve. That's the
• 6:18
  crazy part. And then they're playing a number five Wisconsin who just lost a
• 6:23
  Big Ten championship yesterday at twenty two and thirteen. So it's funny how the
• 6:28
  seatings go and the standings go. Number four Duke will play number thirteen Vermont.
• 6:35
  Number six Texas Tech takes on number eleven North Carolina State. Kentucky at
• 6:42
  number three will face off against number fourteen Oakland. Let's see. Number seven
• 6:49
  Florida takes on number ten either Boise State or Colorado, depending who wins that
• 6:54
  matchup. Marquette at number two will face off against number fifteen Western Kentucky.
• 7:01
  And then in the Midwest bracket, we'll have Purdue and number one facing either
• 7:06
  Montana State or Grambling, whoever wins that one. Number eight Utah State will
• 7:14
  take on number nine TCU. Number five Gonzaga will and number five we'll take
• 7:20
  on number twelve McNeese. Number four Kansas will take on not Stanford, but

• 7:43
  will take on either number ten Virginia or Colorado State. And then number two
• 7:47
  Tennessee takes on Saint Peter's, who are number fifteen. So that's your brackets.
• 7:54
  Those are the teams that made it. Hopefully we'll have a pretty decent
• 7:58
  tournament this year. I'm gonna go over mine, give me a second,
• 8:01
