    D-Fly & Dixie: NCAA Quarterfinals Preview

    The latest episode of the D‑Fly & Dixie Podcast arrives just in time for quarterfinal weekend, and the guys bring back longtime friend of the show Christian Swezey to help break down all four matchups. They open with a look back at a wild first round — including Johns Hopkins’ gritty road win at Cornell, where the Blue Jays “won a playoff game on the road with a goalie who made three saves” and Luke Martin earned two bananas from the Blue Jays’ banana crew. From travel‑day chaos to behind‑the‑scenes ops decisions, Christian shares what really shapes NCAA tournament success. The crew then dives into each quarterfinal, starting with Hopkins–Notre Dame, where the Irish’s defensive backbone and the emergence of goalie Thomas Ricciardelli take center stage. They examine whether Syracuse can finally break through against UNC after two losses, debate Penn State–Princeton as potentially the weekend’s best game, and unpack how Georgetown’s toughness — galvanized by the team rallying around teammate James Caretta, who is battling cancer — has fueled the Hoyas’ surge into the final eight. Packed with insight, storytelling, and quarterfinal stakes, it’s one of the most comprehensive breakdowns of the season.
