And, we're ready to go over it all on this recap with host T.J. Rives and co-hosts Ari Russell and Tyler Jones, who've been in Indy all weekend as the Wolverines and the Huskies made it to the title game.

But, in the end, Michigan was better, making a staggering 25-28 from the foul line and getting a 19 point championship game night from Most Outstanding Player Elliott Cadeau to go on to the win.

The guys have insight and analysis from court side as the Wolverines were simply better than everyone else in this tournament and won the Big Ten's first hoops title since 2000 with their win.

Host T.J. Rives and co-hosts Ari Russell and Tyler Jones were inside Lucas Oil Stadium to witness it all and have thier takes.

First, they dissect the win by the Big East Huskies, who just keep getting it done. Off the dramatic Duke win, they were better than the Illionois Fightting Illini in rebounding, taking care of the ball and making many more threes! It's impressive for Coach Danny Hurley and players to go for a third title in four years.

In the second game, the Wolerines blitzed the Arizona Wildcats in a 91-73 wipeout o fthe Big XII champs. The guys go inside the numbers and analyze what Dusty May's club did for the fifth straight win in this tourney while scoring 90 points in doing so.

Host T.J. Rives returns with BloggingTheBracket.com's Chris Dobbertean and U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Famer Mike DeCourcy to give their insight and analysis.

Chris is up first with more on which teams (like TCU and Ohio State) have helped themselves recently, but also, which teams (like Indiana and San Diego St.) have more work to do?  Chris also goes over 2-3 games Friday and Saturday that he'll be watching for teams that need to impress the selection committee? And, he weighs in on the debate about Miami (OH) attempting to finish the regular season unbeaten headed to the MAC tournament and whether that will have done enough to get them in or not?

Then, Mike is with us talking how good the very top of the bracket list is wtih Duke, Michigan and Arizona and how "unbeatable" do they appear for a shot at the Final Four? Mike then gives us a team or two from the 2 seed through the 4 seed line that he really likes as a team to make a run in the Big Dance?

Host T.J. Rives...
Host T.J. Rives returns with BloggingTheBracket.com's Chris Dobbertean and U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Famer Mike DeCourcy to give their insight and analysis.

Chris is up first with more on which teams (like TCU and Ohio State) have helped themselves recently, but also, which teams (like Indiana and San Diego St.) have more work to do?  Chris also goes over 2-3 games Friday and Saturday that he'll be watching for teams that need to impress the selection committee? And, he weighs in on the debate about Miami (OH) attempting to finish the regular season unbeaten headed to the MAC tournament and whether that will have done enough to get them in or not?

Then, Mike is with us talking how good the very top of the bracket list is wtih Duke, Michigan and Arizona and how "unbeatable" do they appear for a shot at the Final Four? Mike then gives us a team or two from the 2 seed through the 4 seed line that he really likes as a team to make a run in the Big Dance? And, he and T.J. debate Miami OH's at large case some more, as well.

On this edition, host T.J. Rives is joined by handicapper and SEC analyst Brian Edwards of MajorWager.com and Vegas Insider. Plus, we have more bracket knowledge coming from Chris Dobbertean of BloggingTheBracket.com

First, T.J. and Brian go over some teams trending up like UConn, Florida, Michigan State and more. Of course, Brian thinks his Gators can repeat. But, he also talks about a Big East handicapping play he likes for Tuesday and also, an SEC Wednesday night game he's honed in on for "short term investing."

Then, Chris gives some insight on his latest bracket reveal. This includes why he has the Huskies ahead of the Gators still on the 1 seed line. Chris also gives insight on the two seeds and whom might be able to move up over the final days of the regular season and the conference tournaments?

And, he finishes with why teams like Santa Clara, New Mexico and TCU are IN, but teams like Indiana, VCU and Auburn are OUT at this stage?

Host T.J. Rives is joined by Tyler Jones of Chat Sports and DeShaun Tate of "Tate's Take the Podcast" live in the aftermath of the games to go over it all.

First, how did the Gators knock off Auburn for the second time and this time it earns them a spot in the championship game? Walter Clayton was a big reason why and the boys go over his performance and the Gators magic still continues in March.

Then, what a comeback! Or was it a Duke classic collapse? Or both? Houston comes back from nine points down with three minutes remaining and defeats the Blue Devils denying super freshman Cooper Flagg a shot at winning it all. T.J., Tyler and DeShaun give their thoughts on what they witnessed first hand inside a roaring Alamodome!

Now, we get ready for Monday night, as the Coogs will go for their first EVER title, while Florida seeks their first championship since their back to back titles of 2006-07.

But, just how tough is that bracket that has the likes of Florida, Texas Tech, Maryland, Memphis and Mizzou in it? They also talk the 'Power Coach Pod' in Providence as Bill Self's Kansas plays John Calipari's Arkansas in the opening round with the winner playing the Johnnies and Rick Pitino in game two.

Then, Chris is on board still trying to figure out how North Carolina got in the field with such an awful resume'? And, yes we "go there" on Carolina AD Bubba Cunningham being the head of the committee and his team gets in with only a single quad one win in front of teams like WVU and Ohio State that had six of them, for example. Chris also talks some seeding of teams, rightly or wrongly and makes some upset picks.

And, we hear from Ari also on the St. John's win Saturday night over Creighton, as he was there too. But, he also talks the top seeds (Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida) and possible double digit seed upsets too.

Chris discusses the power at the top of the SEC with Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida and is it that much stronger of a conference than the Big Ten? Also, what mid week games intrigue him for seeding purposes. Plus 'Who's In or Out?" between the likes of Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Xavier, etc.??

Then, hear from Mike on whether Texas A&M can be an upset spoiler for Auburn? Also, what two SEC teams stand out for him from the middle of this loaded conference? We then discuss Duke's dominance of the ACC. Are they that much scary, better or is the bottom 2/3 of that conference so bad, that it makes Duke look inflated good?

Host T.J. Rives was joined by Co-host Ari Russell in New York to go over everything that happened and they continued to project ahead to "Selection Sunday" now just two weeks away!

A dramatic three for Tennessee to beat their rival Alabama in Knoxville, Duke continuing to crush the ACC, Houston's utter dominance of the Big 12 (especially on the road) and more were discussed.

And, the guys were joined by Adam Zagoria of NJ.com and the "Zags Blog" to talk St. John's locking up their first Big East outright title in 40 years. Adam was at MSG to watch Rick Pitino's team clinch. He also talks the top of the rest of the conference, as well.

Then, hear from Vince Ferrara of 99.1 FM in Knoxville and the Vols radio network, as he was courtside for the huge three at the buzzer by Jamai Mashack that defeated the Crimson Tide and bolstered the case of Tennessee for a #1 Seed. Vince also has thoughts on the rest of the SEC, including the power of Auburn and Florida, etc.

Finally, Matt Zemek of USA Today's Trojanswire.com and CollegeWire.com is back to talk some Western teams like San Diego State, Gonzaga, UCLA and more with us as the games narrow down and we head to conference tourneys. There is also lots of "bubble talk" on whether North Carolina, Arkansas, Nebraska, Wake Forest, SMU and others have done themselves in with poor schedules and bad losses late in the year or not?

From big man Donovan Clingan 11 points, 5 rebounds to guard Tristen Newton, 20 points 7 assists,  UConn was the better team from beginning to end. And, even though big man Zach Edey had 37 points, no one else was really a factor for the Boilermakers.

And, they guys talk the absolute heater that Dan Hurley is on as the coach at UConn, as well.

Host T.J. Rives is back from Glendale, AZ and ready to go over it all with colleagues Ari Russell, Matt Zemek, Deshaun Tate, Tyler Jones and T.C. Martin from State Farm Stadium.

The guys talk first about Purdue 63-50 win over upstart N.C. State in game one Saturday night. Why was Zach Edey so effective, yet again in leading the Boilermakers to another win? Why couldn't the 'Pack get anything going and just how loud was it for Purdue's massive fan base in the stadium. 

The second semi was another Connecticut decisive win, even though Alabama shot the ball well in the first half. How much credit does Huskies coach Danny Hurley deserve for being on the verge of having back to back champs?

Host T.J. Rives returns with Tyler Jones on the "day before" the two semi-final games to decide it all in college hoops.

T.J. and Tyler go over the matchups and insight on whether the Huskies can go back to back for the first time since the 2006-07 Florida Gators? Or, might the Crimson Tide in their first ever Final Four can spoil the party? The other game has two teams in the Boilermakers and Wolfpack that haven't been here in over 40 years. Is time for huge Zach Edey to lead Purdue to the title game or will the Wolfpack continue their improbable run that has seen them win nine post-season games. 

T.J. also goes to analyst Mark Wise, who was a Purdue assistant in their last Final Four Run in 1980 and shares tremendous stories and insight about it all.

Host T.J. Rives and Jason Powers of the "Powers on Sports Podcast" are back with the recaps and breakdowns. What about the wild win in OT for N.C.

It appears that the officials and their use of replay still denied the Grizzlies a chance to win in regulation. T.J. and Jason debate and later bring in guests for their opinions.
