SVP and Stanford Steve are back to discuss the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball tournament from all angles. The first round had its moments, especially Thursday, including a close one for Duke against Siena. The guys discuss Santa Clara's heartbreak loss as well before diving into round two results, including the thriller between Nebraska and Vanderbilt and Iowa's upset win over Florida – setting up a Corn vs. Crops in the Sweet 16. Plus, more on Tennessee's win over Virginia, Alabama's dominant victory over Texas Tech, Texas' Sweet 16 run, Purdue's resurgence, Arkansas' path, the heavyweight battle between Houston and Illinois, and the loaded East Region. Is the winner of Mich St-UConn the winner of the East? Finally, a word on the women's bracket and how it might be the UConn Invitational, Real or Fake TV Shows (Uncensored), Tiger playing in the TGL Finals, the art of motivation and more. | SVPod Time Codes/Topics (0:00) Intro (4:40) First weekend recap (6:17) Duke escapes Siena (10:30) R64 thoughts (13:00) Corn vs. Crops in Sweet 16!
