The host of Hoops Hotspot talks about the upcoming March Madness basketball tournament. He mentions his excitement for the games and his disappointment at not being able to attend a funeral due to work. He also talks about his powerlifting program and his love for creating brackets for the tournament. He discusses some of his predictions for the tournament brackets and mentions a potential collaboration with a TikToker. Welcome in everyone to another episode of Hoops Hotspot here on WCCU Radio, Coastal Carolina student-run radio station. It's Grant Beck here with another basketball episode. Today we are going to change it a bit and talk about some college basketball, also NBA too, but March Madness officially starts in about an hour from now. I think 12-15 is the first games and then we have games pretty much all day, games tomorrow, games the next day, so it's definitely ramping up. I think this is the first episode that I've done where there's no one in here, so that's that's wonderful. I'm not sure what everyone's up to, but yeah, nonetheless, I suppose I'll keep talking even though it's kind of hard to, but that's okay. Anyway, I've had a pretty good week. It's been easy, just kind of clashed. It's been pretty status quo. I've worked a bunch. I'm trying to get off work tomorrow night so I can go with my family up to Illinois for a funeral, but no one seems to want to take shifts, so that's kind of dumb. I've literally like asked everyone multiple times and people just either don't respond or say that they can't, so you know, that's always, that's always fun. It's gonna be a shame if I can't go and I kind of have to know by tonight because if I am going, I would have to leave tonight, so we'll see, I guess. I don't know, but if anyone is listening, sorry. I might not be able to go. I actually do feel like crap about it, but on a brighter note, I got a package in the mail, so I don't know what it is, but I just got an email on my phone saying that I got a package, so I suppose I'll go pick that up after this and then gonna go to the gym before I work tonight because I don't want French after this, so that'll be good. Got some deadlifts on the agenda and some bench, so I'm doing a powerlifting program, which is going pretty good so far. Can't really complain about it. I'm definitely, definitely seeing some strength improvements, so I'm very happy about it overall. My body's just, it's very intense, so my body is still trying to recover from just the sheer intensity of the program, but it feels good being able to lift heavy, injury-free, knock on wood. We'll see. But yeah, my favorite part about March Madness besides watching the games obviously is making a bracket. Every year that you, you think that, you know, making your bracket, you're gonna have the perfect bracket this year, but sometimes it just always doesn't go as planned, and that's okay. So, I've made about 15 brackets so far, and maybe one of them ends up being perfect. Who knows? We'll see, but we're gonna take a short break. Just wanted to welcome y'all into the show. When we get back, gonna create a bracket here in real time. Y'all listen to Hoop South Spohot here on WCC Radio. We'll be right back, y'all. Welcome back, everyone, to Hoop South Spohot here on WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina Student-run radio station. Still don't really have anybody in here, but that's okay. It will be on Spotify, so maybe people will go listen on Spotify, but I do have some big news coming up. One of the TikTokers that I follow, his name's Nick Vogel, he has a following of about half a million on TikTok, and him and I got in touch because he needed some editing work done for a YouTube project that he was planning on doing. He did this challenge called the 20 number challenge, where there's this filter on TikTok that would pop up a random number, and then he would try to sort them, like, in order from 1 to 20, and it took him, like, almost a whole year to do it, and right when him and I got into contact about editing, like, a documentary together for his YouTube, he actually beat it, so he had to scrap that project, but him and I are friends now. We follow each other, and then I reached out to him and just inquiring if he would be interested in helping on the show, and he said he absolutely would. He doesn't know much about basketball, but he said that he would be fine calling in, so if you do see this on Spotify, or if someone happens to join in the next second, just be on the lookout for a collab with Nick and I, because Matt, Six Fingers of Steel, and I, and DJ, we had that collab a couple months ago, which went really well. We had a lot of viewers in here, did well on Spotify, so I'm excited to have another opportunity to do that, and, you know, we're working up to try to get KOT4Q in, Kenny, so we'll see eventually what happens, but, yeah, into my brackets, so I've made, like I said, about a dozen brackets, and every bracket's been different. The thing with March Madness is I feel like you can predict some upsets to happen, like, in the first round, but you can't put the upsets together for every round, so even if I correctly predict the entire round of 64, all 32 games, I could be screwed going into the next round, because the team that I had pulling off an upset in the first round, but losing in the second, the opposite could happen, or a team that I had losing in the first round could go on and win the championship, you know, it's like that, it's just gut feeling, and I don't know, like, why people do it, I don't know why people are high on one team over the other, and I'm not gonna lie, I don't watch many college basketball, much college basketball, but I'm gonna do it, and we're gonna call this the perfect bracket, so, starting in the East region, we got one seed UConn versus 16 seed Stetson, I'm going with UConn, I don't think there's gonna be any 16 over one seeds this year, okay, I would be very surprised if there were. Moving down, we got FAU and Northwestern, 8 and 9, I like FAU right now, I don't know, I've picked Northwestern in a few, I've picked FAU in a few, so, I don't know. Next is San Diego State and UAB, classic 5-12 matchup, I'm not really sure which way this is gonna go, but I am gonna go with San Diego State, just because they have that Final Four experience from last year, and definitely, definitely have the tournament experience, so, gonna pick them. Next up, we got Auburn and Yale, I think Auburn's just too hot of a team to pick against them right now, they obviously are SEC champions, and Yale, the only reason why they're in the tournament is because of a buzzer beater over Brown and the Ivy League. So, moving down, BYU and Duquesne, so, you got 6 versus 11 here, and I'm really high on this BYU team, but you have to have an upset in there somewhere. I mean, if you compare the teams, BYU's the better offensive team by about 11 points, and Duquesne's the better defensive team by about 4 points. So, with that being said, I don't know. Screw it, I'm taking Duquesne, I don't care. Yeah, Illinois versus Moorhead State next, so, a 3 versus 14 seed. I don't know who I would pick on this one, to be honest. I love a good upset, I really do, but I have to choose Illinois, I do. Washington State versus Drake, I like Drake in this matchup, don't ask me why, I just do. And Iowa State versus South Dakota State, give me Iowa State. Moving on to the West region, we got one seed, North Carolina versus Wagner, North Carolina's got that. Mississippi State versus Michigan State. Now, when I first made my first couple of brackets, I picked Mississippi State in this matchup, just because Michigan State's had such a down year that I don't know if they're, like, fully equipped to make a deep tournament run. But then I remembered who they're coached by, and that's Tom Izzo, and it's hard to bet against Tom Izzo in March, so, give me the Spartans. Next up, St. Mary's versus Grand Canyon, this is a really popular 5-12 upset, and I see why. St. Mary's is kind of on a cold streak right now, and Grand Canyon's been one of the best teams in college basketball for the past couple of years. Grand Canyon doesn't really have any big wins, they beat San Diego State, they lost versus South Carolina, they beat Liberty. Other than that, they don't really have much else going for them. St. Mary's on the other end, they beat Gonzaga two out of three times, they beat Colorado State who's in the tournament, they beat New Mexico who's in the tournament. But, with that being said, I'm going Grand Canyon. I don't care, 5-12, I got it. Alabama-Charleston, here's the thing, both these teams are not good defensively. Alabama's gonna put up, or, Charleston's gonna put up 90 points, but Alabama's gonna put up a hundred and win. Next, Clemson versus New Mexico. Okay, so, New Mexico is, like, a popular upset for a lot of people. Like, I've seen people take New Mexico all the way to the Elite Eight or the Final Four, and I, I don't know, like I said, I don't watch much college basketball, but if they're, if they're this high on New Mexico, then, obviously, they gotta have, they gotta have something going for them. They're better than Clemson on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, and I'm not a Clemson fan, so I'm going New Mexico. Baylor versus Colgate. Okay, let's see here, I don't know who to pick on this one. Baylor beat Iowa State, they lost to Kansas, well, they split the series with Kansas, they split it with Iowa State, they lost to Duke, lost to BYU, lost to Houston, hmm, and then Colgate, Colgate doesn't really have any good wins. Yeah, it's, it's gonna be Baylor. And then Dayton and Nevada, I like Dayton in this matchup as well. And Arizona versus Long Beach State. So it's cool that Long Beach State's actually in this tournament, because they fired their coach at the end of the regular season, but they said that they would allow him to, like, coach through the postseason. And then they ended up winning. They won their conference tournament to put them in, in the, in the tournament. So that's pretty cool that they're, that their coach just coached them to a tournament appearance. And this is my first real hot take, just because I'm feeling it, Long Beach State upsets Arizona, and the Wildcats settle in March again. Don't ask me why, I don't know. Houston and Longwood in the South region, going with Houston. They're just a stellar defensive team, and they're going to be very hard to beat. Nebraska versus A&M, I like Nebraska in this matchup. Wisconsin versus James Madison. This is another popular 5-12. James Madison's been hot all year. Wisconsin beat Purdue, they've been hot as well. As much as I don't like James Madison, I am gonna choose him in this matchup. A classic 12-5 upset there. Duke versus Vermont, Duke's not going to lose this game, I really don't think so. Texas Tech versus NC State, 6 versus 11. NC State surprised ACC tournament run, five wins in five days. Fun fact actually, they've won, they've won more games in the Wizards home arena in five days than the Wizards have all year. So they scored, they won five games in five days, and the Wizards have only won four games in their arena all season. That's cool. So I am going to go with NC State there. And Kentucky and Oakland, Kentucky's not going to lose in the first round, and if they do, call me out on them. I don't care. Florida versus Colorado. So I actually really like this matchup. Florida's always a team that performs pretty well in March, obviously with a tough SEC slate. Their most recent, they lost Tennessee, they lost to Auburn in the title game. They beat Kentucky, they beat Auburn before the title game. They lost to Bama, they beat Bama, they beat Bama. They beat A&M, they beat Auburn, they lost to Carolina. So I don't know, I don't know how I feel about this team. Colorado just won their first four matchup. They're the better defensive team, and I don't know if that's going to make a difference with Florida, just because they're such a high-powered offensive team. But with a team like South Carolina, whose focus is on defense, you saw how the defense in the slower tempo kind of disrupted Florida's game. So don't be surprised if Colorado pulls off the upset here. We'll see. Marquette versus Western Kentucky. So injuries have been a question for Marquette all season, but now they are actually a healthy. So that's a good thing. So I suppose we'll see what happens with Marquette. I have a friend who actually goes to Marquette. But yeah, it says Tyler Kolick missed the Big East tournament due to an oblique injury, but is expected to return for the NCAA tournament. And Marquette will need their leader. Yeah. So with Kolick back, I think Marquette handles Western Kentucky pretty easily. Midwest region, Purdue versus Grambling. Much as I want Purdue to lose in the first round again, they're not going to do it two years in a row. They lost to Fairleigh Dickinson. This is the last year of the year before I forget. But they're not going to be the first 1C to lose twice in the first round. Utah State versus TCU. I don't know much about either of these teams, but Utah State just looks like the better team in my opinion. So we are going to take a short break, but I'm going to finish up the Midwest region and then finish up the rest of my bracket. You're listening to Hoops House Pod here on WCC Radio. We'll be right back. Welcome back everyone to Hoops House Pod here on WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina student-run radio station. We're just about done filling out my bracket for March Madness for the first round. I got Purdue, starting with the Midwest, I got Purdue over Grambling. I got Utah State over TCU. So going down Gonzaga versus McNeese. This is another one where people think that McNeese could pull off the upset. But Gonzaga, they've had a down year, but it's hard to count them out in March. Like they don't have the talent of previous Gonzaga teams, but they have the coaching leadership and I think that this team, I don't see them getting upset here. But I would not be surprised if they didn't, honestly. Kansas versus Samford. So I am going with Samford and that is because Kevin McCullers out. Kansas' top player, leading scorer, kind of a good all-around player, he's out. So Hunter Dickinson also missed the Big 12 tournament with injury, but we haven't gotten word on if he's going to be in or out of the NCAA tournament. If both of them are out, I don't see Kansas winning this game. If just McCullers out, I think they could pull it out. But I am going with Samford. They could be my team to make a run, we'll see. But 13 over 4 right there. South Carolina versus Oregon. So I picked South Carolina and it was all my brackets because I am a Carolina fan. And this bracket's gonna be no different. And they could be the reason why I don't have a bracket because people are picking one-up people. Oregon's favorite in this game, actually. So that's fun. We'll see, though. But Carolina has put together some really, really good wins. They beat in Tennessee, they beat in Kentucky, they got their butts kicked by frickin' Auburn. But they really are a balanced team, they don't turn the ball over much, and they're, oh gosh, excuse me, they're a good defensive team. And I think that the only reason that they don't make a run is because they kind of lack efficiency on the offensive side of the ball. And that could be an issue against good defensive teams. So in comparison, Oregon scores more, but Carolina has better defense. Carolina's very good at defense, and I do like them to win this game. Creighton versus Akron. Don't overthink it, I'm going with Creighton there. And Texas versus Colorado State. I'm going to go with Texas. I think Colorado State could win this game, but I'm going with Texas just because this guy from my hometown, his name's Cam Skye, he committed to Texas. He is kind of a five-star player out of a high school that I attended for two years. That's pretty cool. So I'm going with Texas. Tennessee versus St. Peter's. As much as I want St. Peter's to make another run like they did two years ago to be a lead eight, Tennessee's just too good of a team, in my opinion. So moving on to the round of 32, back in the east bracket, we got UConn versus FAU. UConn's a clear and cut favorite to win the tournament, but the favorite, the number one overall seed, has never won the NCAA tournament. So I don't know when UConn's going to lose, but it's not going to be in this round. And the next up, San Diego State versus Auburn. I like this matchup a lot, but I do think Auburn is the better team. I don't see a world where they lose this game. I don't see a world where they don't make it to the Sweet 16, to be honest. Auburn's really that good, and like I said, they're a hot team right now, which is cool. So Duquesne versus Illinois. It's boring to have one, two, three, four in there, isn't it? I'm going with Duquesne. I don't know why. I just am. I just am. And then Drake versus Iowa State, going with Drake. Why not? Why the F not? Honestly. So moving down to the west, North Carolina versus Michigan State. Like I said, it's hard to bet against Tom Izzo in March. North Carolina gave me my first team to go down. My first one seed to go down. You know what? I got it. They're doing it. Michigan State's doing it. They're upsetting. I don't know. Call me crazy, but they are. Grand Canyon versus Alabama. Alabama's offense is too high-powered for that. New Mexico versus Baylor. Like I said, New Mexico is a lot of people's teams. There's a lot of people's team. So that being said, I'm picking Baylor. I'm not going to ride the wave. I've ridden the wave on a couple of brackets, but this is not going to be one of those brackets. This is like my 14th bracket that I've picked. And a lot of it, I just tap, tap, tap, and don't really think twice about it. But it's good to talk about it now. Baylor versus New Mexico. I don't know. New Mexico's got a beat on both stats, but like barely by a point. Baylor's been a good team all season. So this stat says, number three seeds have won 63% of meetings with number 11 seeds overall, but are just 13 and 12 against them since 2010. Interesting. Interesting. I just think Jacoby Walter is too good for Baylor. He's obviously a high-ranked prospect who could be a first-rounder for Baylor. Even Ray J. Janis, he could be a first-rounder as well, or at least get picked in the draft. So I am going to go with the Baylor Bears here. And the Dayton versus Long Beach State. You know what? Let's ride the Long Beach State wave. 15 seed in the Sweet 16. Count me in. We're doing it. Houston, Nebraska. Once again, Houston's too good of a defensive team to lose in the second round. I like that there. So we got the James Madison Dukes versus the Duke Blue Devils in the next round. 12-4 matchup. And I'm going with James Madison. You know what? Sunbelt Conference represent. James Madison to the Sweet 16, because why not? Kentucky, NC State. Unfortunately, the amazing run from NC State will end here. Kentucky will beat them. Then Florida Marquette. I'm going to go with Florida over Marquette, actually. So yeah. And that wraps up the South region second round. Now we got the Midwest. We got Purdue versus Utah State. I think Purdue's going to win. I think they're going to make it at least to the Sweet 16. We'll see. Sanford versus Gonzaga. Riding the Sanford wave. Why not? I don't even know where Sanford is. I think they're in Florida somewhere. I have no living clue where they are. But yeah. Sanford, we're doing it. Why not? South Carolina versus Creighton. I'm obviously going to pick my game park bias there. Because I don't think Creighton's that high power of an offense team where they could really, I don't know, disrupt Carolina's defense. And they're a decent defensive team, too. A decent one. I don't know. But like I said, the stat that I read up about Carolina before when I was picking them against Oregon is the only way that I think they could lose in this tournament is if they get matched up against a really high power offensive team. So, we'll see. Texas versus Tennessee. I'm going to go with Texas. I don't know why, but I am. I'm reading up the matchup against these two. Dalton Connect. If you can shut him down, you have a real chance of beating Tennessee. That's how Carolina was able to beat Tennessee once this season. I don't know. Everything is screaming to pick Tennessee, but I just got a feeling about the Longhorns. I'm not a Texas fan at all, but I just got a feeling about them. Why not? Game to the Sweet 16. First matchup, we got UConn versus Auburn. And I think this is where UConn is going to fall. Honestly. I don't know. I feel like I've picked this upset in a lot of brackets. I don't know. I feel like this would be a heck of a game if we were to get matched up there. I genuinely think so. Auburn and UConn both have high-powered offense. UConn's defense is a little bit better. I'm going to second guess myself. I'm going to pick UConn. I think. Yeah, we'll pick UConn until the late eight, whatever. Now we got Duquesne versus Drake. A 10 versus 11 matchup in the Sweet 16. And something's telling me to ride with Drake. So we're riding with Drake. Shout out OVO, shout out Toronto, shout out Iowa, actually, because Drake is from Iowa. That's pretty cool. And before this, in the round of 32, you have Iowa State versus Drake, which are both Iowa teams. And then my actual Iowa team, the Hawkeyes, are in the NIT tournament, unfortunately, because they got bounced in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. But they won their first game last night against, I think it was last night, or two nights ago, against Kansas State. I think they play again tonight or tomorrow, we'll see. So next we got Michigan State versus Alabama. And I am going to go with Alabama in this game. I think this is where the run ends for Michigan State. Just that Alabama offense is too, they're too high-powered. And I don't know. I don't even know if Michigan State deserves to be in the tournament. But I got them going this far, so that's good. I'm good for Thomas, though. And then Baylor versus Long Beach State. Unfortunately, this is where the Long Beach State run ends. And this is where, whatever the coach's name is, I have no idea, because I'm not a Long Beach State enthusiast, unfortunately. I think this is where their run's going to come to an end. So we'll go with that. Houston versus James Madison. I'm going to go with Houston here. James Madison, great run. Thank you for representing the Sunbelt Conference well. But, unfortunately, you will fall at the hands of the Cougars, who, like I said, they have one of the best defenses in the league, holding opponents to 57 points per game, which is absurd. They're number one in the Basketball Power Index, and for good reason. And take a short break. We'll be right back, you guys. Welcome back, everyone, to Hoop's House. Bud here on WCC Radio Coastal Carolina's student-run radio station. I don't really have much planned other than picking my bracket today. So I might just do a little standings update to close out the show. But probably going to be an early finish today, because we're almost under their bracket. But moving into my last matchup of the Sweet 16 in the West region, we have Kentucky and Florida. So these teams have obviously met face-to-face this season. They split the season series, Kentucky 1-1, Florida 1-1. And I think Rob Dillingham is pissed off that Kentucky's a three seed. So that being said, I'm going with Kentucky to move on to the lead eight. Purdue versus Samford. Purdue is a fraud. Well, they're not fraud, but they're going to be exposed as frauds here. And Samford's going to beat them. 13 seed in the elite eight. Would you look at that? Let's look at the stats. Number one seeds are 4-0 against 13 seeds. Last time these seeds met was in 2012, when North Carolina beat Ohio in the Sweet 16. Well, Samford, you are going to the lead eight, because Purdue are frauds. We're going to do it. And then South Carolina versus Texas. Ride with South Carolina. Let's do it. Elite eight. We have a 1-10 matchup. We have a 4-3 matchup. We have a 1-3 matchup. And we have a 13-6 matchup. Two double digit seeds in the elite eight. I like to see it. UConn versus Drake. This is where Drake's run ends, unfortunately, at the hands of the UConn Huskies. And they are back in the Final Four for the second time in as many years. Alabama versus Baylor. Alabama's offense is too high powered to beat Baylor. But I might go with the Bears, honestly. I don't know. I'm going with Bama. As much as I don't like Bama, I'm going with Bama. That sets up a UConn-Alabama matchup in the Final Four. So, Bama's coming out of the west region. UConn's coming out of the east region. The south region, Houston versus Kentucky. As much as I would like to pick Kentucky, it's going to be hard to have three SEC teams in the Final Four. So, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to pick Houston to go to the Final Four and win the south region. Midwest, you've got the 13-seed Samford versus the 6-seed South Carolina Gamecocks. Let's start with this one. A 6-seed has never faced a 13-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Well, guess what? This is the first time that it's ever happened in South Carolina. It's going to the Final Four. So, why not? UConn versus Alabama. This is where the run ends for UConn, unfortunately. Alabama will beat them to go to the National Championship. And then, in the other Final Four matchup, we have Houston versus South Carolina. And I'm sorry, Gamecock fans. Houston's going to win. That sets up an Alabama-Houston matchup, and Houston's going to take it all in my bracket. Why not? And how many points will be scored in the championship game? We're going to go with 145. I'm going to say 70. Let's go 75 to 70. Houston wins this. I should pick more. We're going to go 156. Yeah. We're going to go 82 to 74. Houston wins this game against Alabama on April 8th. And that, ladies and gentlemen, or that Nana and whoever else is listening, maybe Uncle, is going to be my bracket. There we go. My 13th bracket made overall, and I'm going to go rename it right now, actually. Rename it the HHP bracket to the Hoops House Pod bracket. If it would let me rename it. There we go. I just love making random brackets. There we go. And one more just for craps and giggles. We're going to do a feature. The Tournament Challenge app has a feature where you can quick fill a bracket. So we're going to quick fill a bracket, and we're just going to do random. So it's basically a coin flip for every single matchup. Autofill. Here we go. They have Long Beach State versus St. Peter's in the final. Three 15 seeds in the final four and Duke. That's not going to happen. I'm sorry. I'm going to do another one. Quick bracket, random, autofill. Moorhead State versus Tennessee. I don't like that one either. Look, as fun as this is to do random, I still want realistic options. Here we go. BYU versus Wisconsin. All right. I can ride with this. I can ride with this. We're doing it. Submit it. BYU is winning. There we go. And that is pretty much going to wrap up the show. We're going to do a quick standings update. Speaking of NBA, actually, because that's literally what the show is about. Anthony Edwards had the most vicious poster dunk over John Collins that I've ever seen two nights ago. If you get a chance to Google it, go Google Anthony Edwards dunk on John Collins, and it will literally get you out of your seat and put your mouth wide open. It was that crazy. I mean, he literally baptized him in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It was crazy. So if you get a minute, go look at that. But standings update, just one to 15 real quick. Boston Celtics are one seed. They've clinched a playoff berth already and their division. One seed there, two seed Bucs, three seed Cavs, four seed Knicks, five seed Magic, six seed Pacers, seven seed Heat, eight seed 76ers, nine seed Bulls, ten seed Hawks, 11 seed Nets, 12 seed Raptors, 13 seed Hornets, 14 seed Pistons, and 15 seed Wizards. Both the Wizards and Pistons have been eliminated from the playoff contingent because they are horrible. In the West, one seed is the Thunder, two is the Nuggets, three is the Timberwolves, four is the Clippers, five is the Pelicans, six is the Kings, seven is the Mavericks, eight is the Suns, nine is the Lakers, ten is the Warriors, 11 is the Rockets, 12 is the Jazz, 13 is the Grizzlies, 14 is the Trailblazers, and 15 is the Spurs. The Grizzlies, Trailblazers, and Spurs have all been eliminated from playoff contingent. So right now we have 12 plus 13. We have 25 out of 30 teams who are still fighting for play and chance, even though I have a feeling in the next couple days that number will drop to just 20. And we'll have our playoff slash play-in field set. The Bulls, however, only one game under .500. They're 6-4 in the last 10, so maybe, when do they play next? They play tonight. They play the Rockets tonight, so who knows? Maybe they get to .500. We'll see. Go Bulls. But anyway, that's about it for me. I hope you guys have a great weekend. I hope everything gets worked out for me with work so that I'm able to go back to Illinois because I'm going to be really freaking upset if I can't. I don't know. I've literally, like, asked everybody multiple times, like, text, call, in person, like, everything, if they can take my shifts this weekend. Because with work you have to, like, request days off, like, a month in advance, and we didn't know the funeral was going to be a thing until, like, a week, week and a half ago. So obviously by then it was too late. But I don't know. I'm working tonight, so I'm going to ask pretty much everyone that I'm working with to, like, please pick up my shift on Friday and pick up my shift on Sunday, too. I don't know. But we'll see. I guess we'll play by ear. We'll see. But, yeah, that has been a March Madness episode of Hoops House Pod. Going to go get some food and hit the gym when I work tonight. So hope you guys have a great rest of your day. Hope you guys have a great night. Hope you guys have a great weekend. Thanks for kicking it with your boy here on WCC Radio. And I will see you guys next week potentially with a special guest. Love you guys to death. Thank you for always coming out and supporting me live and on Spotify, even though I didn't have anyone throughout the show, but that's okay. Thanks for listening to me ramble about basketball. Love you guys. I will see you all next time. Deuces.
