About this episode
Rich and the guys revisit TJ’s map-bending sports fandom and get into a heated debate: should you have to root for teams from your hometown or be allowed to adopt teams from other cities? ESPN College Basketball Analyst and Hall of Fame Sportscaster Dick Vitale and Rich discuss the always-thrilling First Round games of the NCAA Tournament, his incredible journey from failed Pistons head coach to the Basketball Hall of Fame including the great story about how he was hired by ESPN, the Michigan head coach Juwan Howard to the NBA rumors, if a Cinderella team can emerge from this year’s Big Dance field, his DEEP love of the Bucs, Rays and Lighting, and a special birthday message for Mike Del Tufo. Rich wraps up the hour pointing out the inequities between the NCAA’s treatment of players in the Women’s College Basketball Tournament vs the emphasis placed on the Men’s College Basketball Tournament after an Oregon player posted a Tik Tok video showing the VAST differences between the weight rooms that were made available for them.
