Welcome to Mulkeyville
- NOTE: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE ANEESAH MORROW COMMITTED TO LSU BUT WE KINDA ASSUMED IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN -
It's Kim Mulkey's world and we're all living in it. The 4-time national champion head coach (or 7-time if you count her rings as an assistant and player) is enrolling an elite recruiting class and now has the top 2 transfers in the nation. LSU is gonna be fun as hell next season so we talked about that for a while and speculated wildly about how horribly it can go wrong...if, in fact, that happens.
Kim also threw some barbs at Geno at an event last week and it didn't get much buzz so we made sure to cover that.

Remember when the Final Four happened?
LSU beat Iowa in the National Championship game a while back. We would have podded sooner but Russ was gallivanting around Houston celebrating the UConn men's title, then went into a week-long championship coma to recover. But hey! Better late than never. So let's talk about the Final Four -- the good, the bad, and Kenny Brooks' beard. If you rate and review the pod, Jill Biden will invite you to the White House.

LET'S PREVIEW THE FINAL FOUR
Y'all, the Final Four is here. Russ is in Dallas and Meredith has COVID, so one could say we are fully prepared for a weekend of basketball. By now, you know the matchups. Virginia Tech will play LSU in the first semifinal before THE MATCHUP OF THE CENTURY in Iowa vs. South Carolina.
Prediction: Two of the above teams will win on Friday. One of those teams will win Sunday. More fearless predictions in the episode! -

Your Vibes-Based 2023 NCAA Tournament Preview
Vibes and Spite. That's how Russ is filling out his bracket this year. The numbers and analysis have gotten him nowhere.
With that in mind, Russ and Meredith look at the entire bracket and pick every game. Who do they have going all the way (duh)? Who are the trendy upset picks? What would happen if Duke played Iowa????
All that and more as we get set for the best weekend in all of sports. -
Talking Bubble
We're smack dab in the middle of conference tournament season, which means it's time to talk who's in, who's out, who's a 1 seed, and more!
We start by revisiting our 1 seed conversation from last week, updating who might be fighting for those final couple spots, before shifting to at-large resumes. There are some interesting ones this year! From power conference teams hovering around .500 to exciting mid-majors, the committee has some decisions to make.
The gang also touches on Angel Reese and her omission from the Wooden watchlist. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?!
Lastly, THE NYU VIOLETS ARE GOING TO THE SWEET 16! NYU won its first two NCAA Tournament games over the weekend and will face Trine on Friday night.
