It's time to go one-on-one with DP. Coming at you live from the couple Chevrolet GMC Studios. Here is your host, Derek Pearson, brought you by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul on 937 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Let's get after it. It's March Madness, and you will choose every game of the NCAA tournament based on your text. Yeah.

Yeah. Y'all ready? Get your texting fingers ready. And just by sheer numbers alone, game by game, you'll have 30 seconds to text in your response. Ready? Yeah. It's going to be a thing.

And if you haven't put in your bracket, do so. You can go to ESPN and find 993. 37th ticket. You can go to the ticketfm.com. You can go to Facebook, a 937th ticket. Go to X 937 ticket. It's right there.

It's penned at the top of it. You can put in yours, but this one will be all of ours. And we will track it. Yep. I'm going to keep it. I'm going to make it create it right now. And whatever the ticket listeners is kind of be a broad board here.

But definitely sign up if you haven't signed up yet. Just get it before tip off. That's the deadline. Yep. Before tip off tomorrow, you can test your knowledge against Jake Sorensen. It's still my favorite. I think he had 1-16 or maybe a couple sweet 16 teams in the house here. So it's always fun.

It got to match your knowledge with some of the producers and talent here at 93-7. The ticket. Okay. So we will start in the south bracket. And Harrison, you man the text line. Houston versus Longwood, number one versus number 16. Right? So I'm going, I can't imagine everybody's going to pick Longwood.

Yeah, I'm going to. Is that a fair statement? I'm going to go ahead and put Houston in there. Yeah, Houston, buy it largely Houston right away. Nebraska, Texas A&M, texters. I'll give you an extra minute on this, right? So Houston, Houston has been unanimous so far. Nebraska versus Texas A&M.

One, two, three, four. It looks like the Huskers are going to get it. Okay. Someone's getting excited for Drake already. We'll get there. Yeah, they're getting there. So the Huskers advance. We'll do round by round.

There we go. Okay. Wisconsin versus JMU, James Madison versus Wisconsin. This one's going to be a must watch, I think. Yeah, I personally. So one, two. We got three Wisconsin, one, Madison.

Three one. Come on. We'll give you 30 seconds to clear. All right. Wisconsin versus JMU. And we also have to have an eye on the, on the YouTube stream as well. I want to make sure that,

um, yeah, he went Bucky. Okay. All right. I'm going, Judge, Judge,

Orange. I think it's, we're going Wisconsin. Okay. We got more Wisconsin. There we go. All right. Duke versus Vermont.

Duke versus Vermont. All right, texters. Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Yep. Duke, it is that you guys are pretty consistent and you're quick. God bless your, your texting fingers. Text number six, Texas Tech versus number 11 North Carolina State. Yeah.

Duke is this much of it. Yeah, that is. NC State, NC State. Look at the Wolfpack go. I actually agree with the texters on this one. I filled on my bracket. Oh, my. Kentucky. Number three, Kentucky versus Oakland.

Number three, Kentucky versus Oakland. Oh, yeah, there we go. Okay. Look at them roll. Wildcats in a romp. Florida versus either Boise State or Colorado. And remember, seven versus ten. And you can choose other. So you can, and this one, it's Florida or other. yeah John Cleetona John says either either so we're we're counting that one is we got two Florida and one either yeah cleat says Florida Kipp says Colorado Colorado's coming back 7592 says Colorado the next two votes may may determine this thing yeah that that's interesting that it's going to play out that way Harrison

we're going other we're going with the upset. Well done. Okay. Marquette, number two, Marquette versus Western Kentucky. Yeah, I got a feeling folks are going chocker. Yeah, this is going to be a quick answer. Yeah, Marquette, Marquette. Yeah, yeah, yeah, folks are going to go. Okay. We're going to flip to the other side. Number two, Iowa State versus number 15, South Dakota State. Iowa State versus, okay, roll out folks. Look at them. Man. Shout out our texters. Yeah.

Cleet, look at Cleet goes out to go to Stee. There I go. I like, listen, pretty much if you take the upset, I'm probably going to read your text. Like that, that's probably how to, but in this case,

it's Iowa State. Number seven, Wazoo versus number 10, Drake. And I know you all been waiting for this one. Seven versus 10. Yeah, this one I'm not sure. Yeah, there's one. Drake, Drake.

Drake. Oh, my Lord. This makes me rethink my upset picks here. Okay. Look, that looks pretty unanimous. No, no, single one. Number three, Illinois versus number 14, Morehead State, Morehead State.

We've got five Illinois. Yeah, if we got five in a row, we're checking it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number six, BYU versus number 11, Duquesne. This could be a gotcha game. Duquesne or BYU. Look at the Cougars. BYU, one, Duquesne from Kip.

All right, Kip. So far, Duquesne. Do? Uh-oh. Can we get a late run? Ah, there it is. There you. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. All right. We're going to go with the Cougars. We're going to go with Cosmo Cougar. Number four, Auburn versus number 13, Yale. You know this bracket's going to win everything, right? Like we, it's going to be the one. It's going to be the one, right? Auburn versus Yale. Yeah. Auburn, unanimous. I agree. War Eagle. Okay. Also from from down Bama way, UAB versus San Diego State, number five, San Diego State versus number 12 UAB.

Do they stay in the state? Astex. Okay, got one UAB in there. Got two of them. Okay. Two to three right now. Oh, that's okay. I'm pretty surprised.

What do you think the next one? What do you think the next text will say? Next one's going to be, I think people are going to go San Diego. Pay respect to them. Yeah, they think they're going to pay respect. No, we got another UAB. It's three to three. Next one, the text in.

That's going to be the deciding factor. This is, it just got interesting. Ticket listeners bracket. Do you want UAB, San Diego State? That's it. If you haven't voted, we need your vote. Yeah, UAB or San Diego State.

And this will be, watch, this will be the one that like sets the tone for it. A lot of people are, for UAB last year. They had that phenomenal. Nope, South Dakota State's taken over. There we go.

All right. No, San Diego State gets the, gets the nod. FAU at number eight versus Northwestern. FAU versus Northwestern. Yeah, I thought this was going to be a brawl. Yeah, we got three, three and three right now, four three. Northwestern's leading. Oh, that's, that's, that's the mood.

All right. the Wildcats Advance Yep Wildcats advance A nine seed advances Number one Yukon versus Stetson

Yeah I don't think anybody Tuesdays Stetson No Yeah over 25% of people Got Yukon winning the whole thing Yeah Let's go to the Midwest Purdue

versus Tonight's winner Grambling or Who are they playing? So Purdue Yeah I don't think anybody's gonna pick against Purdue in the first.

Why am I blanking on? Yeah, Purdue. Everyone's going Purdue regardless. The Aggies from Utah State versus number nine TCU. Eight, Utah State, nine TCU. Horny Toads is where they're cramped.

Wow, everyone goes to TCU on this one. There's not one Utah State from Cotonia John. I would have thought because Utah State's talented. I got a good resume. But, hey, they picked TCU. By the way,

I saw TCU lose. Okay, no mind. Gonzaga versus McNeese State. Number five, Gonzaga versus McNee State. This is going to be a good one, too. No Aggie picks.

No, Aggie picks allowed. We got to, okay, we're getting a few McNee State, though. There's some people giving some respect to the 12th seed. Zags, Zags win. Mm-hmm. Zags win.

Number four, Kansas versus Stamford. Another upset favorite for a lot of people out there. Samford. I mean, at least pronounce it correctly. Samford. I guess I jinxed them. It's got to be Kansas. If I don't get your name right,

there's zero chance. Three Kansas, two, Sanford. Four, two, five, okay, okay. Rock chalk.

Okay. We got you. Maine in Kansas is way here. Number six, South Carolina versus number 11, Oregon. Got your pack 12 champions. South Carolina versus Oregon.

Look at them go. Duck, duck. Duck? I can't say the other one. We'll call it goose. We'll call it goose. Yeah, I can't go. Yeah.

Ducks. Yep. Ducks get the win. Okay. Well done, text line. All right. That's our third upset. Oh, this is, this is, okay.

It's going to be interesting. Creighton versus Akron. One. Come on. Jay's versus Blue Jays versus Zips. I thought the Husker fans would vote against Creighton. I think when it comes to brackets, people are willing to just pick who they think they're going to win

as long as it doesn't come to the cost of their team. Okay. Creightons, people are rolling all the way Blue Jays on this one. Okay. We saw number 10 Colorado State last night. They will face number seven, Texas. Called Virginia to a whopping 14 points in the first half. Texas or Colorado?

state. Wow, a lot of Texas. Look at horns up. Okay. I'm slightly. We have five Texas, one Colorado State. I'm surprised by it. I'm surprised by that. Wait a minute. One, two, three, four, five Colorado State. Starting to switch the other way now. Colorado State.

There it is. Horns down. Horns down. Number two, Tennessee versus number 15 St. Peter's. Yeah, I'm not sure if we can. We can count on the sister to get through. Yeah, I don't think they're going to get us through that one. Yeah. Yeah.

St. Peters, you had your run. Number two, Arizona versus number 15, Long Beach State. And what a great story. Did you catch his presser today? Long Beach State. Yeah. The coach was like, yeah, I was already fired, so I'm working for free.

Yeah, I'm working for free. So whatever. Masterclass. Yeah, like, oh, come on. Like he waited his whole life, whole life for that. Like that's, it's there. Arizona is the pick. Number seven, Dayton at number 10, Nevada.

Number seven, Dayton at number 10, Nevada. Yeah, I wasn't sure. To Dayton, two Nevada. Let it roll. Let it roll. Yeah. This one's close. Wow.

And it started to go Dayton's way. Wow. Wow. Wow. Three, four, five. Dayton. Dayton with the upset. That one's pretty close.

Dayton with the upset. Okay. Well, no, they're the same. They're favorite. They're favorite. Baylor versus Colgate. The Baylor Bears versus Colgate. What's Colgate's mascot?

That's a great question. Let's find out. This one's going to be unanimous. Baylor, I'd imagine. Well, you had one Colgate in there. The Colgate. Colgate Raiders. They're the Raiders.

tooth face. Harold Spears is brilliant. They're the toothpaste. Baylor is the pick. Number six, Clemson versus number 11, New Mexico. This one's been talked about. A lot of people like that. This one's been talked about a lot.

Number six. New Mexico, New Mexico, New Mexico, New Mexico, New Mexico, New Mexico. Yeah, this one's been talked about. People have not bought into Clemson, so New Mexico. Number four, Alabama, versus number 13, Charleston. Bama looks so legit.

They play so fast, though. The teams that play crazy, fast scare me a little bit. Yeah, that's a, that's a walk. St. Mary's at number five versus Grand Canyon. This is one of the ones that folks have talked about. Yeah. Yeah. Chubby Rino says, you're in Canyon.

I don't, I believe in, GCU's got a program going. I think this one can definitely go either way. I know it's 12 C, but. They're loaded. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, he is. St. Mary's looks like it's going to be the answer, though. Well, we got another Grand Canyon in there. Let's see, where are we at here? We got a lot of the, I think, we got mostly St. Mary's here. One, two. Yep. St. Mary's, it is. Okay. I'm surprised by that. They are the top seat, but I'm surprised by it. Number eight, Mississippi State versus number nine. Michigan State. Because Izzo and the boys get on a run. To Izzo and the boys get on a run.

Oh, okay. People trust in Tom Izzo. Mississippi State. 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3. 4, 3. Okay. Harrison, we call it Spartans. We're going with Spartans.

We'll call it Sparty. Yep, we got another is no text. North Carolina versus Wagner. You saw Wagner last night, and I think there's little chance. with seven players with seven players the fact that they think they can get a win. North Carolina. Okay. We got five North Carolina is in the row.

Moving on. All right. So we're through round one. Yep. Now to the round of 32. Round of 32. Here we go. Buckle up.

All right. So we got to back to the south region. We got number one at Houston. And we got number eight, Nebraska. Come on, Texline. Let's go. One Houston. Huskers.

Two husks. Houston. to the one Houston leading it and looks like most people are going to go against their heart here. Wow. Husker Nation, do you even go to school here? It's pretty close though.

Oh, man. Hubert, come on! I picked them even though they suck. That's my own brother. You know his name is Houston. Nebraska. If we get one more Nebraska. If we get one more Nebraska, in there. I think we're going to have to go in Nebraska. It's swinging towards back to Nebraska. Next text is going to be the signing text. First one to get in there. Rating three is

Nebraska. There it is. The Huskers advance. The Huskers advance. K-say goes bonkers. I'll roof for this bracket. Hey, man. Number five, Wisconsin versus number four, Duke. Look at Austin. Your voice. Yeah, your vote counts. Your vote counts. There's no, there's no, Wisconsin, Wisconsin. Oh, oh, oh, wait a minute. I think Ormond is going to run to the front window. He made his best one of those. The next two votes could, could swing it. Okay. Ah, man. Oh, Harrison, you're going to have to call this one.

Harrison, you got to call it. It's Duke. It's going to be Duke. Okay. Harrison makes the decision for you. We're not going to see the rematch third time. Yeah, you know, they'll call you NC State versus Kentucky. NC State versus Kentucky. Kentucky's scary because teams that give up 80 points in game typically fade out pretty early. Kentucky though, people are not buying the

the ACC champion. They are not buying the ACC champion. Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky. Colorado versus Marquette. Colorado versus Marquette. I can't possibly imagine that they're going to go in shock. Yeah, yeah, there's, that's how that rolls. Mark, moving on.

That's how that rolls. Let's go to the Midwest. It is Purdue versus TCU. Purdue versus TCU. On text line, Purdue. Whoa, okay. That evened out pretty quickly. They jumped, Purdue jumped out, like the actual game.

They jumped out in front and then TCU came from behind and tied it. Unknown text of Purdue has an easy road. Purdue, Purdue. Going back to Purdue. There we go. So Zach Eady gets it done. Number five, Gonzaga versus number four, Kansas. Pretty good game.

Zags, Jayhawks. I think whoever gets in that game. Zaga, two Kansas. Okay. Three can't. Oh, look at them. Okay. They're picking.

We're going Jayhawks, Rockchuk. Wait a minute. One more Zags, Kansas. Ah, there you go. That's that, that, that, there you go. There you go. Kansas advances. Oregon versus Creighton. Oregon versus Creighton.

I think I kind of know how that one's going to go. We'll find out here. Creton, Jays, Jays. We're going Creighton still, I think. There's a couple Oregon. Blue Jays. I think people are still rolling with Creighton here. They're still going to roll with Creighton. Yep.

We've got Creighton. That's the overwhelming census. All right. Colorado State versus Tennessee. Colorado State versus Tennessee. Balls look like, yeah, they lean heavily. Tennessee's moving on. Rocky Top.

Sing the song. Dayton versus Arizona. Dayton versus Arizona. And you guys are representing the entire listener fan base. So, yeah, they're taking the cats. They're taking the cats. New Mexico versus Baylor. New Mexico versus Baylor.

Can the 11th seed move on to the Sweet 16 Baylor, New Mexico, Bears, New Mexico. It's pretty close right now, actually. Wow, you're all out there. I think this might be people's favorite upset so far. We got, okay, we got to count these. This is getting close. Yeah.

Okay, we've got one two. So far we're split down the middle. New Mexico all day. 10, 9. Next text is going to decide it. We're still. tied up six five four three two one new Mexico new Mexico got the first double digit seed into the sweet 16 I didn't think that would be it St. Mary's versus Alabama I love

Alabama is Texas same areas Bamma Bama roll tide these are getting close now now we're really starting to split hairs here. We're going to have to start going First one to five votes Because these are starting to pour in here So we go. Bamma, Bamma, Bamma, Alabama. That's going to be the loud voice out there.

Judge Arons chooses Alabama. North Carolina, Michigan State. Oh, baby. Let's go. Let's go. Tar Heels looks like that is strong. Oh, they came all the way out. Oh, they came all the way out.

Okay. Bye. Bye, Tom is. Bye. Bye. Drake versus Iowa State. Drake versus Iowa State. Yeah, I think that one.

And five or no, Iowa State. Yep. BYU versus Illinois. Illinois, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois. Yeah. Illinois. There we go. San Diego State, Auburn.

San Diego State versus Auburn. San Diego State versus Auburn. this one's going to be a close one yeah this is it's a four versus five so so it should be close it should be very close so far auburn's leading we'll give a 10 more seconds see what else pops up here we got the five seat san diego state switch back a little bit or bro that's pretty close are we still split no Auburn's got Auburn's got the favorite Auburn's up one. Now they're even.

Now we're even. D.P. I'll give you this one if we get stayed even here. If we don't get a text. I'm going to say, Auburn. I would agree with you. Auburn moving on. And then finally,

first, last game, Yukon versus Northwestern. Can the Wildcats pull the upset, knock off number one? Boo, booey and crew. Uh-huh.

Yukon versus Northwestern. Yukon. You con by 20. you can one northwestern pretty much everybody else at yucon all right well done we've made it through two rounds when we come back to to one-on-one we'll get to we're in the sweet 16 oh let's get to work the picks get harder you're listening to one-on-one with dp sponsored by mary ellen's food for the soul on 93-7 the ticket and the ticket fm dot com welcome back again if you're on if you can hear this you're on the stream. Well done. You're on YouTube,

Facebook. Ticket at, always a great choice. Always a great choice. The folks on the brick and mortar in the car, they kicked over to the tournament, which we will cover, and we'll do the same thing tomorrow. So we'll have daytime

coverage, local coverage, all the way up until 5.30, both Thursday and Friday. No, actually 6 o'clock tomorrow, 530 on Friday. Because the Huskers play at 550. yeah 550 you're correct so we'll go to 530 yeah we'll go to 530 letfocus we'll be there and we know folks would be a little bit anxious in the bar if we're still talking at 545

understandably yeah folks might want to might want to fight a little bit um but and then for the weekend we will have on the brick and mortar we'll have all of the live games once they start we will also have the streams. So if you, you know, don't miss everything on Sunday, you'll be able to get, don't have to worry about it. So you have options.

You can break your mortar in your car, et cetera, and then on the stream if you want to do what we're doing. Okay. So for those that are still in the game, we're at the Sweet 16. So give us a thumbs up on the text line. If you are or give us a,

you know, hey, I'm here. So let me know that you're still voting for the Sweet 16. So as we carry this thing through. And the first game in the Sweet 16, and this is, we're going to save the Huskers for last. I like that one. Yeah, we're going to save the Huskers for last.

In the East, it's Yukon versus Auburn. Yukon versus Auburn. Yep, there y'all go. There you all go. You guys probably have a stronger voice now, too. Yeah. Switched over. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, UConn versus Auburn in the Sweet 16. Looks like we're going to be rolling the Yukon here still. Yeah, Huskies seem to have, they seem to be the pick. And the other side of that bracket, it's Iowa State versus Illinois. And I'm not sure how the text line is going to go on this, but text line 402, 464, 5685, Iowa State versus Illinois.

and having watched them both, is there still a bit of a hangover for for Husker fans? I don't think so. Or maybe Illinois is just that good. I think the fact that when Shannon Jr. dropped 40, it was a great game by him. I think you're okay with that.

We looked a little bit tired. No, CJ Wilcher. Looks like we're going to Illinois. Wow. Okay. I'm surprised a little bit by, well, here's the thing.

Trust and Big Ten. We're going to allow Kentucky versus Marquette. That's wrong. that's going to be a brawl. That's good. Kentucky versus Marquette. Harrison, what say you? I'll be honest.

I don't even like Kentucky in the Sweet 16. I don't like teams that don't have defense. It's great. You can score 90, but those teams that if you're sitting outside, top 50 defensively, you typically fade out quick. I'm going with Marquette. Okay. We got Kentucky.

We got one Marquette here. Okay. Well, you just voted. So you got to vote here at D. You just not going. No, I'm letting everybody else. All right. Purdue versus Kansas.

Purdue versus Kansas. Purdue versus Kansas. That's a good one. That's a one, one four. That's a little. My dream was to work in commercial. That's a legitimate one for Purdue in Kansas. And some of these, you know, the seeding played out.

Purdue, Purdue, looks like the boiler makers are going to be moving on here. And see, Big Ten fans have not waived the flag on the Boilermakers. You watch them. You understand how good they are. Who is it? Creighton versus Tennessee. Ah, number three, Creighton versus number two, Tennessee. This one's going to be interesting.

How far are you willing to put Creighton Blue Jays, if you're a Oscar fan? Until they meet in the final four? I think so. I think you really don't care. As long as your bracket's good and it's not your team, you don't care. Yeah, but I mean, I think Nebraska fans would certainly, I guarantee you there's some brackets that have Creighton in Nebraska in the in the final. Oh, 100%.

Right? And there's real shot for that. Yeah. We're dead even Tennessee and Creighton. Man, we're dead even. Like, that's funny to me because I would have thought for sure that Nebraska fans would say, eh, why not? Like, why not?

Mm-hmm. Why not? Harrison. We're going Creighton on this one. Oh, man. That's so funny. That is so funny. Can we just say Arizona over New Mexico? Yes.

Well, actually, I don't, this is one where just because it's 11th seed, I feel like I might be surprised. And we got a smaller, we got a smaller channel here. So these people can have a big impact. Yeah. On this upset. Yeah. Yeah. And they take full credit.

And I want disrespect to Lobos. They've been playing pretty good basketball. So what in your mind? Yeah. I was going to say. I was still on with Arizona. Yeah. I was going to say.

I can't. I can't see you. All right. Drum roll. Actually, not yet. Not yet. North Carolina,

Alabama. North Carolina and Alabama. Oh, yeah. SCC basketball is a lot more respectable than it used to be. But I don't like that run and gun. That just scares me so much, especially when it comes to March madness.

If Carolina had won the Big Ten, I mean, won the ACC, I would have less resistance to it. Well, the Texan doesn't have any resistance to it. They're going to go to Carolina. Okay. All right. I understand. I get it.

At the top, kind, sir. We're going to. All right. And Austin left before we could force him to pick. Oh, that's the word. I've been great to have his. He told me he would root for Nebraska. Do you believe him?

No. I don't either. Actually, I do. I do. I see him throws to Blue Devils lingo more often than the scurs. True. We're going to have to ask him. Maybe you should call him and ask him.

Get off Norman on the L.O.B. Just call and just call him on his phone and say, hey, we're trying to decide the text line and the listeners have gotten Nebraska and Duke meeting in the Sweet 16, which sounds so wonderful. It sounds so wonderful. And the text line is choosing the Huskers. I like it. We're going to get Austin's input as well here. Yeah.

I know he's a Bible study. Yeah, well, before, I think we caught him right before he gets to the Bible study. Okay. Want to call him right now, live on here? So if you can go. Well, we don't call him. Let's just ask him. Just ask him.

Because I think it's funny. Yeah. I think it's funny. But we're going to go Nebraska. here we go Yukon versus Illinois Harrison Yukon versus Illinois

I know where I'm going with let's see what the texters got though yeah I'm surprised by the respect to Illinois basketball so your final four in case you this is we're getting to

Illinois okay you're getting to this one right this is this determines who gets to the final four so who do you have one versus three one versus three we're split even

once again here Harrison you might have to pick you might have to pick and it doesn't get easier in the bottom half for the bracket we're going with you con on this one unless someone gets one last input you con's moving on okay sorry a ron

all right there we go uh here you go north Carolina versus Arizona. Like, I'd like to think the Tar Hills find a way. But this is when Arizona pisses people off and they actually get good.

Like, they actually get good and decide they're going to, they're going to, like this was in the, oh, yeah, North Carolina. Okay. And for curious about Austin Ormonds where his heart's at. Uh-huh. He's not ready to choose yet. Ah, you big goober.

I decided. Purdue versus Creighton. Purdue versus Creighton. That is funny that our listeners are going to put the, like I'm positive. They're going to put the Huskers versus, but I don't know that do they match up in the final four? Yeah, I mean,

looks like we got Purdue is going to move on though. Oh, they didn't. They didn't take all. So, you ruined it. But there was a chance. Well, But here's the thing. Here's the thing. That's not bad because Nebraska feels pretty comfortable playing against Purdue. So if they can get there, Nebraska versus Marquette. This would be great. This is so good. I'm a little bummed. We don't have two teams 45 minutes away in the final four.

Oh, but you know, right? Let's go all the way to Dallas to play. I look, it's the Huskers. It's the Huskers. I think. I think the ticket listeners bracket. It's the Husker. I would have the Huskers moving on here. All right. So here's, here's the beauty of it. Harrison,

here we are. Here we are. All right. Here we are. Yukon versus North Carolina and Nebraska. Nebraska versus Purdue. That's so good. That's so good.

Like that. Endless bracket. Doesn't look that bad. No. There's a total road. Like this is, this is one of the few places in the country where the final eight looks the way it looks and it's still not obnoxious.

No, because you look at there's been an eight seed that's beat off that one seed. They've already beat them. Three years and four years and around. Potentially, there's a real road for this. They've already beat them. So North Carolina,

a Yukon. Harrison, what's your, what's your gut? Guts, Yukon. The gut is you. The gut is Yukon. The gut is Utah, Yukon. Nebraska Purdue. Nebraska versus Purdue in the rematch

of a game previously won in a blowout. Mm-hmm. In a blowout. And if you look even in years past, when Nebraska wasn't good, Fred Hoyberg, he knows how the game playing against Purdue. In a blowout. So Nebraska.

I love this so much. I love this so much. I'm going to be falling this bracket more than my own. Right? Like I really, like what would be more fun than this bracket being right? The Big Ten's back. Nebraska's playing for a national championship game.

Like right? And then to run since the whole, again, we're America Cinderella, right? It's America Cinderella. So then it's, It's Yukon and Nebraska for the national title. We've asked too much. We've asked too much.

We've asked too much. Can we dare in the greatest upset? Like, would this be, well, Villanova did it against the best Georgetown team there was? Yep. Right? I'm trying to think of higher C. And they're the same gutsy. sort of team, right?

That Villanova won, they shot lights out, which would be the playbook for the Huskers, right? And if we jokingly said, draw up away, what has to happen for this to happen? We could actually see Nebraska shooting lights out, getting on a, just getting on a heater.

And playing good defense. And their top 36 defense. Right. It's a good defense. Well, but it checks the metric. Now, here's the thing. If they figure out how to rebound. Yeah, that's what they get past Texas A&M first,

one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country. That is scary. But I honestly think the Texas A&M game, that is going to be a big one. Tell you what. Okay. So let's take our, let's take the break. And we'll come back and we will. Yep.

Aaron, we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about it. It's Nebraska versus Yukon. How does it happen? And who do we choose? Because this is the bracket. And we need a score. So we need your scores for Yukon versus Nebraska.

We will take them when we come back. You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Sponsored by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul. on 93-7 the ticket and the ticketfm.com. Final segment of 101 we're handed over. Listen,

I need your scores. The text line has committed and the Huskers are in the championship game against Yukon. The Huskers apparently are going to win

and we need, but here's the thing about Brack. You need scores. You need scores. And while one text says 122 to 32 to Nebraska, scurs win at 122 to 32.

That's the first time we've been a little shaky on this. We were okay with most of it in the greatest game. I'll still take a scur as well. He says case they has to go eight nuts on some folks. Yeah. I mean, if you think about all the great runs of underdogs, Jimmer for Debt, Steph Curry,

Casey, Tomnaga. Can you imagine the international views if Kese gets on a heater? He said he got it just because of that, like that's the best part is he has caught the eye at the very end, but people are finally starting to look at this team.

So the opportunity is massive. When Pam Acre says, okay, this is, this is the tournament. Like this is, this is the story. And this is not even Cinderella, This is, hey, so 79, 86 type game. Well, the Huskers do better when they put up over 80 points, when they put up 80 points.

And then you would imagine their ability to defend, right, if it doesn't get away like Illinois did. Right? But even in the loss, they put up an 80 burger. So Nebraska plus 80, Yukon under 80. Harrison, how would you, what's the scoreboard say? I think if Nebraska's going to get a win, you force Yukon to take tough three point shots.

And it's one thing about Nebraska, their perimeter defense, it's gotten really good. They've gotten more comfortable rotating off the double inside. I think you force it into a bad shooting night. but they're still going to score. I think it's Nebraska, 84, Yukon, 82. I think it comes down to a two-point game. You're saying 166.

166. That's the number we'll put in. Well, Aaron said 165. So we can, let's go, it's a ticket list. Ticket listen. We'll go 165 and Nebraska win. That's just incredible. Real quick, we'll just go through, not the entire bracket, but we'll just start

with the elite eight. We got number one, Yukon, number three, Illinois, in the east. In the south, we got number eight, Nebraska, number two, Marquette. Then going over to the Midwest, we got number one, Purdue, number three, Creighton in the west, number one, North Carolina, number two, Arizona. You get to the final four. Number one, Yukon, number two, Arizona, and then the big upstate on the other side. Number eight, Nebraska, number one, Purdue. Nebraska holds onto the upside.

They beat Purdue. They face Yukon in the final. but they win it final score total 165 this is the greatest bracket to ever exist i'm all for it i truly am greatest bracket to ever exist and i think we need to put this in several pools like we need to go like ESPN and and like just raise devil oh we can absolutely do that we can find a way to do that oh my goodness this is so good because we got the whole thing ready now this is this is this is this is, this is fantastic. I'm impressed with the ticket listeners. This is fantastic on such a high level that, wow, they did it.

And here's what, here's, here's, here's what really, really impresses me that the text line could get together. Rapid Fire too. And just create a masterpiece. I might steal this one. Right. It's got just the right enough upsets where you're not getting any more crazy. right but it's it's got some it's got some legs to it i'll say that much i'm curious to see how this especially we've told you i know you've talked about it before but this year in particular

feels like one of the hardest reads so i'm gonna be surprised if this bracket sits pretty well yeah like i'm not mad at this not by any means this is crazy it's a i love it's a perfect it's a perfect deal so again meet us at buffalo wings or rings tomorrow Be early, 10 to 6, be there early, get there. We'll hang out for the day. And we'll watch and then we'll do it again Friday. So get there early enough to get your ping pong balls, get your seat, and get some food in your belly. It's going to be a good day.

Harrison, Orange, well done, man. Well, does. We got a winner today. Yeah, that's the great bracket of it all. Again, thanks to Manny for Sopul Cascina. This food is remarkably good. And if you haven't made dinner playing 6105, haliblock, get over there, full menu, great stuff. out.
