The guys are hunkered down on a Monday night because, well, Norlander has been hiding in the CBS cave since Thursday afternoon. Hartzell steers the ship on this rare CSN after dark episode - he's ranked his top 10 games of the opening weekend plus some other reactions to what we saw as the field got whittled from 68 to 16. First Four takes? Yep. High Point props? You already know. Georgia slander? Obviously. So many elite curated takes from the first and second rounds - as you've come to expect from the fellas. Plus what's the latest on Hubert Davis and UNC? As of Monday night, Norlander gives us what he's been hearing on the latest in Chapel Hill, plus when he expects this to get resolved. And - as you'll hear - it's not even a given that anything is going down. We haven't dropped a pod in almost a week so it's time to make good.

With March Madness in full swing, David Kahn calls upon his former co-host, Kyle Schassburger, to help steer the #3D ship as they reunite, reminisce and regale the listeners with loads of Louisiana Tech stories. From Schass' interactions with the head Diamond Dawg Lane Burroughs to insane travel tales throughout the country, it's been a wild ride for the new Louisiana Tech PxP Voice, but he's still the same ole Schass and we love him for it. Come for the Diamond Dawg Talk, stay for the bracket dissection and enjoy the witty retorts that only these two can generate with one another.

Your one-stop shop for all things NCAA 1st and 2nd Rounds! Megan Gauer - who went 68-for-68 in her bracketology, it should be pointed out - and Rob Joyce run through every host site for the first two rounds. Potential upsets, names to know, potential speed bumps for the top seeds, even clarifications about bracketing rules... they've got it all. And they end with some Final Four predictions (hint: your Final Four should be chalky).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The bracket is here and it's gorgeous. Let's run through the field and talk about these games. Matt Norlander is ready to go, Hartzell is back from Nashville and even though his brain is more scrambled than usual, we're ranking all kinds of things on this bracket. Best 8/9 game? Best announcer pairings? Most likely 12-over-5? Who got the best - and worst - geographical pod assignments? So much to cover in today's show, and honestly the fellas could have kept going. What did Norlander think of Miami University getting shipped to Dayton? How many head coaches got fooled by the internet and the fake tip times? What's the most popular upset pick that nobody is talking about? So many questions but we're here for answers, folks! And - in a CSN exclusive - the guys run through the guidebook on how to properly write team names onto your bracket (because nobody spells out Wisconsin in full, we're not psychopaths here). An absolute banger of an episode, and frankly the only NCAA Tournament preview show worth listening to.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are still autobids to be won at the low- and mid-major levels, but for the power conference teams the resumes are in... is your team's good enough? Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce break down Megan's (mostly) finalized bracketology, get into the overall #1 seed, those final few hosting spots, and those precious final four spots in the field of 68, with every bubble team in full-blown Tiger regalia watching this weekend's Ivy League tournamentSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The annual late-night power hour through the conference tournament brackets returns as Matt Norlander has boots on the glass floor (that's currently being disassembled) at the Big XII Tournament in Kansas City, while Hartzell has boots on Broadway covering the SEC Tournament. So much to unpack from the first couple of days - including the Miami U loss in the MAC and the butterfly effect that's having all across the bubble picture. Every conference that has a bracket and is still playing ball gets discussed, some more in-depth than others, but the spirit of what we're doing here is very alive. An annual CSN tradition: two exhausted, hungry, and dehydrated guys breaking down these brackets and trying to make some sense of the hoops landscape now inside of 72 hours until the bracket gets unveiled. What a time to be alive. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Following his team's highest-ranked series win in program history, High Point Baseball head coach Joey Hammond joins host David Kahn on Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers. The pair discuss High Point's road series win in Gainesville over the weekend, the difference in strategies between the three games, and the confidence drawn from a victory like this, while still learning from the defeat in the series finale. Plus, High Point is prepared for every situation, even practicing rain delays. And Coach Hammond and his staff may have found the best new metric in college baseball - defensive efficiency. Desperation and Execution folks, two pillars of the Panthers program that we can all live by. Dugouts, Dumbbells and Dingers is sponsored by Homefield Apparel.

We're six days out from Selection Sunday and the only thing between us and the gorgeous bracket is a full week of conference tournament action from coast-to-coast. Matt Norlander and Stephen Hartzell are flying through the Monday show with a recap of the autobids that have already been handed out, a recap of notable results over the weekend, and a full deep dive on the NCAA Tournament bubble which is Charmin soft. So soft, Norlander says, we should be going backwards on the number of teams in this thing - back to 64 - instead of the expansion talk of 70+ in the year(s) to come. The guys run through the sad state of the bubble and then it's on to the conference tournament brackets, which Hartzell has printed because this ain't no hobby, folks. The AAC bracket gets called out for egregious behavior, while the Big 12 earns the 'most improved' award for not going the blackout route. Norlander is headed to KC for Big 12 and as you listen to this Hartzell is literally heading west on I-40 to Nashville for SEC. A tremendous week of games awaits, let this show help set the table for an absolute hoops feast coming at you.
