Juju Gotti on the right, Taylor Vipolis on the left, your boy 10DayTony here. Tony brackets as you can see behind me, very important. We are in the Sweet 16 boys and we have a lot to get to today.

We're gonna get to what happened in the tournament. Then we're gonna get to voicemails from listeners. Then we're gonna get to previews for the next couple of rounds because we won't be here to preview the Elite 8. We're gonna give you straight to the Final Four and then later on in the show I'm gonna give you my all socket team. All socket? Why do you say what's all socket? These players are all electric. Only one of them is still playing right now, but all players on this list are electric So we'll have the all socket team coming up. We'll have voicemails coming up. We'll have previews coming up everything from March Madness We will take care of you guys boys. What an incredible weekend. We had a lot of like negative energy

Surrounding March Madness here on the show. People are like, Oh, you can watch hockey. It's cool. It's better. Whatever. Baseball, European soccer, whatever sports. Mike Ryan said, whatever. Not the point. The point being March is back in a massive, massive way. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. And we had incredible games throughout the, uh, throughout the weekend, the Thursday and Friday combo of March madness everybody talks about it's incredible We had upsets we had teams taking out the garbage meaning they had bad teams that they beat they were supposed to beat them

Took out the garbage did everything well. What region do we want to start in? Do we want to start with my bracket which is why we're having this show Tony brackets. Okay, I'm in the 96 percentile of all brackets on ESPN 96 percentile of all brackets on ESPN. 96 percentile. OK? Is that good or bad? Is it better to be the 96 percentile or the 2 percentile? It means his bracket is better than 96% of all the brackets. So I'm in the 4% if we're doing that math.

I'm in the 4%. So I'm just going to look down here. My Midwest bracket, that's Purdue number one, Tennessee number two, and all that, missed one game in that entire bracket. It was Utah State TCU. Heat check. So we are on fire right now.

96% of brackets are inferior in comparison to my bracket. Real numbers now. Thank you. Where do we want to start? What are the big picture items we want to get to today? Because there was a lot of things that happened. Is it the upset for Kentucky? Is Coach Cal out?

Is it the number one seed's advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time in I don't even know how many years it's been. A bunch of them. I have it here. All four number one seeds in the Sweet 16 for only the fourth time in the past 14 seasons I want to get to coach cow and I want to get to kentucky. I was looking at

a basketball reference list of guards from kentucky that have been in the mba The guards list in kentucky is insane And almost begs the question Is coach cowl? Overrated I just want to put that one out there for the people you're looking at coach cowl You're looking at incredible nba players that he's produced out of that kentucky program yet

They continually find a way to lose Every single tournament in an astonishing way this time. To Oakland from Michigan, okay? I don't know how that happened. Oakland from Michigan, Jack Golke and Dem Boys. To a brother that looked like a freakazoid with no blue on him. 23s, he attempted 23s, made 10 of them, instantly became one of the darlings of the tournament.

Taylor, as a staunch college basketball watcher. Staunch. Staunch. Is Coach Cal at the point of being, you know what? We kind of see the writing on the wall with him. The thing with Coach Cal is he doesn't really care about the tournament success. If you ask him, all he cares about is putting guys in the NBA. And by his standard, he's the greatest ever.

He's succeeding. The problem, the disconnect is Kentucky fans want wins in March and they're losing to St. Peter's, they're losing to Oakland. He hasn't advanced out of the first weekend since 2019. Which is a million years ago, by the way. For 2019, you're like, damn, that is so long ago. For a school like Kentucky, the schools like Kentucky Duke North Carolina Kansas those fan bases don't really care if you're putting the Devin Bookers in the NBA right the Shea Gillis

Alexander they want to be cutting down nets Exactly juju coach Kyle I think my dog is underachieving at this point if he if he would have been anybody else without his tenure or or his resume I feel like a new coach would have been on the hot seat and it would have been anybody else without his tenure or his resume, I feel like a new coach would have been on the hot seat and it would have been on fire by now. Couldn't wait to get him out of there. So I know that he's getting a lot of people to the NBA,

but dare I say people in Kentucky could give a damn. There's a lot of interesting things that I like to look at too when it comes to the conferences that make it into the tournament, right? There's obviously stronger conferences. You think of the SEC, right? Some good teams there. You obviously have Blue Bloods that are playing in that conference. And then you look at the the opposite of success, the failure that they've had as a conference. They've had Auburn losing to Yale 4-13

seed. They've had 5-12 upsets. Kentucky lost. Wisconsin part of the Big Ten. But still, James Madison over Wisconsin. Grand Canyon over St. Mary's. There's been a lot of upsets in this tournament. A lot of them have to do with SEC schools. Florida gets upset by Colorado, too. I had Florida going deep.

I liked Clayton. I thought he was... College basketball is basically, if you have one guy that's better than all the other guys We can make a run on especially if he's a guard Especially is it guard you can talk yourself into a hundred percent like Zack Edie, right? I look at Zack Edie I'm like, okay. He's the biggest player in The tournament he's the biggest player. I think in college basketball. There's nobody seven five He's the biggest player I think in college basketball. There's nobody seven five, 290 pounds or whatever he is.

But you have to get the ball to him. He can't dribble the floor. He can't make sure that he gets his ball, in open spaces he can't create his own offense like that. When you have a guard that can do those things, that allows me to believe in your team so much more than if you have a solid big man. A thousand percent.

Like Oregon, their guards was going crazy. I salute the, damn what's his name, Croissant? What's his name? Jermaine Cousinard. Jermaine Cousinard, my boy had the green light because he bringing the ball up. So he might pull from here nor there. He broke the Pac-12 record for most points

through two games in the tournament. He had 72 points in two games man beating Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record that's good that's insane that's crazy and they caught the ale and it's a right right and it still didn't matter but the I don't want to I don't want to get in trouble with this I don't want to get in trouble with this. I don't want to get in trouble with this. But it feels like, it feels like the take of upsets are great until we get to a certain part in the tournament where then we have a lot of the upsets and we're like, oh, Oakland versus whoever. Not great.

Not great basketball. We struggle college basketball as is right now. Right. Not great. Not great basketball. We struggle college basketball as is right now. Right? Like the level of hoops in college is good until you see what the pros do. And then you're like, oh, that actually looks really, really bad. Every level, when you look back a level,

middle school basketball is great until you watch high school, until you watch college, until you watch pros. So it's like your thoughts, guys, on would you rather have all chalk make it into the tournament? Would you like to have the FAUs, the UMs, the San Diego States, three of the four final four teams last year, that nobody really gave a chance to, because nobody really knew anybody on their team?

Yeah. I like the upsets sprinkled in throughout, and especially early in the tournament. But like you said, by the time you get to the Elite Eight, you don't want a team who's a double digit favorite. And there's a lot of times where those teams can make these crazy runs, the VCUs, the FAUs, the small programs that kind of take on that Cinderella mindset, the Loyola Chicago's. But then there's also the flip side of that where I went to Carolina, I'm a Carolina guy. Carolina played St. Peters in the Elite Eight for a trip to the Final Four. And it was the least worried I've ever been about. Because I'm watching the teams warm up pregame

and everybody on St. Peters, their tallest guy is like six foot six. And I'm like, okay, we have Armando Baycott six foot 10. Like, we are gonna walk to the Final Four. And then they did exactly that. And it was a non-contest of a game. So I do like some upsets. I think that's what makes March Madness great,

but you can't have so many to the point where you are getting these lopsided games. Because I think at the end, everybody wants the best team to win. And it's most likely gonna be one of these top-seeded teams. Right, yeah, I prefer like three-in-one. Like one Cinderella make it to the dance, and three fellas, because at the end of the day,

nobody wants to see FAU really play anybody ever. Salute to that Foul Owls, and congrats to head coach getting to Michigan. But when it gets to the money, the money start being involved and you put in them But like you say we've seen st. Peter's come out there on the court. Okay. Yes, sir. I'm under do work So yeah, I like three and one maybe one good story, but nothing no more than one and you look at last year's final four San Diego State made it to the championship game. They beat faAU and it was like I kind of would have rather seen FAU

Right, right. I wish they would have made Miami play FAU last year That would have been the Final Four to see who goes but they put them on opposite sides. Should we re-seed? Once you get to the Final Four you re-seed and you're like, wait a second Let's see if we can get a better matchup. That'll be fine. I remember a couple years ago, UNC and Duke had an incredible game in the final four. And it wasn't the championship game. Right. And they sent Coach KS packing.

Right, right. What year was that? Was that 21? That was 2022, because Carolina missed the tournament in 2023 as the preseason number one. Yeah. 2022, they went to the final four. and going into that final four game against Duke, I prayed the night before and I was like, God just let me have this one and I don't care what

happened in the championship. Right. I feel like that's the ultimate victory, bro. To beat Duke and send coach K into oblivion. That's the ultimate UNC victory, bro. Does that matter to you more than a championship? Or would you rather have the championship? That is a tough question. In hindsight, I would have rather have had a championship because that's something that gets hung up in the Dean Dome. You get a banner for that. But beating Duke in the Final Four is as close

to a championship as you're gonna get. And it's ultimate bragging and coach K Yeah, like that's huge. Hey, all right. You know what? We're gonna switch it around. Let's do let's do a couple voicemails here We got a couple voicemails you guys called left your best hot takes juju from my bad But I think that the world needs to hear what you just said though receding at the Final Four That's only you can get that on Tony Brackett, because that'd be a brilliant idea. At least a lottery ball situation or whatever.

So I'm with you, bro. That's right. We put everything in one of those lottery bingo things. You make it to the final four. Anything could happen. Right. It's a made for TV event, too. It really is.

You feel me? The final four seating, the re-seeding of final four would go crazy. Hashtag Tony Brackett, you know where you heard it first. Come on. If you heard it somewhere else, they copied it from right here. You did. Let's do the voicemails.

Yo, first of all, shout out to you, Ten Day. God bless you for bringing back La Fond Del Dia, Real Linguist Snow, speaking of which, Calabasas, Calabasas, Tolo Muno Pasukasa. Directed at your UConn Huskies, my friend. I would state the cyclones coming to that crown. Because Gilbert and them boys, Ames I was stand up. I'm predicting not only will they beat UConn and make their way to Phoenix, but they're going to win the whole damn

thing once they get there. And you know it. Wow, dismounted with an and you know it. Okay, I wish we would have said his name. Did he say his name? No. We didn't get his name. Okay, well, I know he's smoking some stuff. Unnamed Iowa State Cyclone fan. Illinois is a tough team to play. Illinois has a very good offense. Iowa State has a very bad defense. If I'm reading the metrics correctly. Iowa State has the number one defense. I'm reading the metrics incorrectly. They have the metrics correctly. Iowa State has the number one defense. I'm reading the metrics incorrectly.

They have the best defense. And Illinois has a great offense. So it's a matchup of strength versus strength. Strength versus strength. You always talk about who can do what. When you have best offense versus best defense, what's going to happen here? Reminder, your bracket is in the 96%.

No, I read it wrong. I didn't have my glasses on when I read it. But look, I do have UConn. I think that they are probably the best team left. I like UNC. Taylor pushed me off of UNC to win the whole thing, even though I like that their collective age is 29 and 1 half on that team.

I like experienced guard play. So that's a very important distinction. But it feels like, when was the last team that went back to back? Because UConn won last year. The last team to go back to back in a final, I mean, is it like UCL? Oh, it's the Gators, my bad.

Gators 06-07. Yo-Kim Noah. Yeah, Yo-Kim Noah and them boys. Al Horford. Yes, sir. Can we pull up that team? Can you see if you could pull up that team for me to see who was on that team? Hey, yeah, oh six. Oh seven Florida Gators last team do to repeat

I feel like Ohio State was the band used to play You can call me out Cory Brewer Joe Kim Noah, oh Cory Brewer Cory Brewer is a good one. Joakim Noah, Al Gore Fates. Mo Space. Oh, Mo Space. Mo Space off the bench. Big dog.

Right. Thank me. All right. Let's do another voicemail. Hey, Tenday Tony. This is Bourbon Toast Warren. Hey, man. Who is going to be the new Blue Blood?

Who are you teaming the new Blue Blood? Thanks, Benny Cody. Again, it's Bourbon Warren. Hey, the boy Bourbon Warren. I'm looking at my teams here in the round of 16. And it feels like you in and year out. There's two teams to me that are consistently in the sweet 16 elite eight. One team has had a lot of success, but I don't know if we'd call them a blue

blood. One team is had success back in the day and is now getting more success currently. I feel like those the two teams that I'd feel like are most blue are ready to step into the moniker of blue bloods is I'd say Houston. I feel like Houston had the legacy play of back in the day, right? The Houston five slam a jamma went off for a while. Now is back, seems seemingly always a one seed, always going deep in the tournament, always has good teams.

The other team I would say, are they Blue Bloods? Gonzaga. Would you consider Gonzaga a Blue Blood team? Again, had success, had some players back in the day, have Adam Morrison, even further back than that, John Stockton. You look at those teams. You're like There's the the formula that we make for blue bloods. Do you have legacy?

Right. Do you have a legacy program? What have you done for me lately Eddie? Yeah, as Eddie Murphy one says Jane and Suggs and them boys exactly. I'd say those are my two teams I'd say Houston and I'd say Gonzaga right now. Out of the teams that are left, are the teams that I'd say are closest to getting blue blood treatment than anybody else. And Houston got a legend coach as well.

So yeah, definitely. Calvin Sampson, the boy. Hey, Tony Brackett. Still on a mobile phone, first time, long time. Love the show. Great show, man. Anyway, quick NCAA Mark Madness question for you. Of the team's remaining, 16,

which team has the most experienced guard play? Also, was anyone else talking about North Carolina State back in January other than that guy Stigatz? Amazing, he's incredible. I'll hang up and listen. Thanks, DeWanna Mobile. He was the only one really talking about NC State I know Taylor obviously watches all ACC games

Contractually obligated to talk about UNC and the in-state rival of NC State But it seems like nobody was really talking except for for Stu gots Somehow that slipped under the radar for everybody. I don't know how, I don't know why. To answer Stu's question, there's no other team that has more senior guard play than UNC. I said it tongue in cheek, but I was actually only four years off. Their average combined age is 25. Right. How?

So little to the DJs. Is it Armando Baycott's just 37 37 so it kind of like brings everything down. Why is everybody so old on your team Taylor Armando Baycott is 24 years old. I'm pretty sure he's not the oldest player in the team. It's Cormac Ryan Cormac Ryan. The Notre Dame transfer is 25. He how many only player born in the 90s on the Carolina. Oh my god.

Me and Baycott went to middle school together. It does feel like he's been there forever. He's been there since before the pandemic, right? Yes. Absolutely. We're talking about five years ago. His first tournament got cancelled. Because of the pandemic? Because of the pandemic. Him and Cole Anthony were in the same recruiting class. Oh my god. And it feels like Cole Anthony's been in the NBA forever. Right. He had it. He did them Timberland boots in the dunk contest. Baker still hooping in the UNC. I forgot about the Timbs. Armando Baker plays like he's wearing Timbs the entire time. Lead feet.

UNC. That's the answer, Stu. UNC. Let's do a couple more oh Tony They may be sent to a hell tipo de los rocky just to see no close in me casa, bro He can use a way what to question one of our acne Okay

Well, no, you're more my target. Bye I know what he said, but I don't think Juju knew what he said, if you could explain. Okay. Okay. I think this guy may have been confused. What he did is he called, he said, Tony brackets, I know that you're the guy that does the brackets. I'm redoing my closet. How much would it take for you to come out to my house and do the bracket?

So you wanted an estimate on closet repair. Primo, no, gracias, pero no. Hey, I feel like you might know a little something though. I mean, I can always- You and Jenny done moved a couple of times. Come on, I can always put a bracket together, you know that. That's why they call me Tony Bracket. That's why you see this, this face back here, I don't know if you could put wide

shot here. That's, that's a face of trust right I don't know if you could put wide shot here. Right. That's a face of trust right there. I trust it, for sure. That means I got you. Let's play another one. 10 day Tony. Hell of a job on the bracket, my man. Salute to you.

Thank you. I got two questions for you. First, what one seed do you think is most likely to make it out of the weekend? Second, who is the seed do you think is most likely to make it out of the weekend? Second, who is the highest speed you think will make it out of the weekend? Thank you, sir. I appreciate you and everybody at the show. Happy birthday, Bruceko. Hey. Happy birthday, Bruceko. Excellent questions. What's the number one seed most likely to make it out of the weekend?

I'm gonna stick with Yukon because I have them going all the way. I have them winning. So I need Yukon to be the one seed that makes everything through. And when we're talking about highest seeds, we have kind of a chalk mix this year. There's a lot of... I'm just gonna read you through East-West. 1-5-3-2, 1-4-6-2, 1-4-11-2, 1-5-3-2. Like a lot of chalk made it to the, to the. Armando Levin is the ACC champs. Is the ACC champs, NC State, Wolfpack. I have to check because, I want to check my bracket here

because I don't want to say something that's That's incorrect I've got I've got all I basically got all chalk moving up I've got UNC Yukon in the Final Four and I've got Houston, Tennessee in the Final Four That's that's my those are my two my two picks. So What I want to see I want to see NC State But that would also tank Houston who I have in the finals so I can't do that so the answer for me It's gonna be Tennessee University of Tennessee. They're gonna be Creighton Then they're gonna beat Purdue in the Elite 8 head to the final four so I'm taking Tennessee as my lowest seed

Which is a 2 and then I've got Yukon My number one seed which will be the one seed to make it out of the weekend. You have one more in there? No more, all right. Let's get to the all socket team. All socket team, why do you want all socket team? I don't get it. Why?

Because all the guys that I'm about to mention to you are all electric players. Do we have the fanfare? I see a button labeled fanfare. I'm just going to press it. Okay, let's see if it works right now. Alright! Okay, that was just for it working. Perfect. Alright. At guard for our all electric team. We have a lot of guards on this team, by the way.

It is what it is. Guard for our electric team. Number one. lot of guards on this team, by the way. It is what it is. A guard for our electric team. Number one, boo booey. Electric player as all of them are here on this list, but almost single-handedly took Northwestern somewhere. I don't know where because they weren't going to make it to the final four, but Taylor, they ran into a buzzsaw you come I mean you know I didn't want to say it I know obviously greenie thinks that you can't can make

the the NBA playoffs in the East we won't get there but boo is a great player gets into the paint has touch with both hands around the rim great floater game can get to a spot on the court I really like boo-boo-y number two our second guard case Kasei Tomenaga. Hello. Japanese Steph Curry. The dude is electric. Lefty, can shoot from anywhere. He started off really high, I think three for three in his game against Texas A&M, and then kind of the wheels fall off. I saw him shoot a couple air balls. I was like, ooh. It felt like we were getting a moment.

We were. It felt like three for three. I was like, ooh. It felt like we were getting a moment. We were. It felt like three for three. I was like, oh my god. He's going to have 40 tonight. And he was hitting like the MJ, like shrubs. Yes. And then he kind of like goes like this to his face, like smushes his face. I was like, oh my god.

We were about to have a legendary performance. And then can we see what he shot that game? He finished 7 of 17, 40% from the field, 5 of 11 from 3. You know? Really that Nebraska team had no business at all being like a tournament team if it wasn't for him. At all. That Nebraska team had no business being a tournament team if it wasn't for him. At all.

One adorable cry he had as well. Exactly. Just so touching. Him and his girlfriend salute. He was just so good in the tournament. Not only the tournament, but that first, in the conference tournament, but then also in that first game where I was like, oh, wait a second.

We're going to get something special. We ended up getting an electric performance from him. All right, at the forward spot, a guy that everybody wanted to talk about, that he's probably gonna be playing in the NBA because of how much we talked about him during this tournament, Jack Golkey. If Duncan Robinson can make a $90 million contract,

Jack Golkey can play in the NBA. Yeah, you're right about that for sure at least 20 million I mean he can be on somebody's bench come out shoot 15 threes and Make six of them. He can absolutely do that. He's uh, he's our forward there We're gonna have to play fast and loose with forwards here because it is what it is our other forward Jermaine Cousin art. Oh, yeah our other forward, Germain Cousinard. Oh yeah. Organ, guy can, Certified Bucket.

Yeah. He's also in the Venn diagram of Certified Buckets. I think all electric team kind of is certified bucket list too. Very similar. Case, Cousinard, Jack Golke, Buckets, all of them. Even though Jack Golke, we were talking about it when it originally happened, Taylor, you and I, you had texted me, hey, Gouki's only attempted eight two-pointers this entire season. 372 field goals, field goal attempts this season, 364 three-point field goal attempts.

How many twos did he make? Like one, two? He made a couple of twos. Okay, okay. But my man does not go inside the paint. Unless it's for a down screen, he is not going in the paint. Oh my God, bro. Can we do the percentage of how many,

like percentage wise, how many twos he shot? It was what, eight of, a segment we like to call math on radio. You're putting me in a bad spot. I know, eight divided by 357? 372. Three, know eight divided by 357 372 370 to divided by eight. Yeah a very like point point zero zero two percent of his shots Alright and at the center position the big dog DJ burns from NC State. Oh, yeah

DJ burns from NC State I just like seeing big guys like that. Right? Right? Like him, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. When we look at those guys that a couple of years ago say, you know what? This guy, this guy cannot be playing hoops at all. And then you see them in there bodying people, little baby jump hooks, finishing around the hoop. I love that. So he's listed at six nine two 75. I've seen him in person. He's not 275 He's he's easily over 300 pounds and they call him his nickname the dancing bear because of how light he is on his feet He's so he's six nine probably three bills plus but again light on his feet He's so he's six nine probably three bills plus but again light on his feet

Finishes around the hoop nice little Jay like this is a good. This is a good player So all electric team boo booey KC at home in Aga DJ burns Jack Gouki German Cousin art Those are our list for the all-socket team. Do we have enough really quick to go through and build out our final four? Really quick really quick. We're not gonna we're gonna take too much time on this. Really quick, really quick. We're not going to take too much time on this. All right, Yukon San Diego State. We're taking Yukon, yeah? For sure. OK.

Illinois, Iowa State. I got Illinois in this one. I think offense beats defense. Salute to the collar, but I'm going Illinois as well with you, bro. OK, Taylor? I like Iowa State, but I'll go with the group. I'll put Taylor, Iowa State. OK. We're moving on to the west, North Carolina, Alabama. North group. I'll put Taylor. Iowa State. Okay

Removed over to the West, North Carolina, Alabama North Carolina has UNC. Yeah, it's a must-win game. Yes. I'm upgrading it. Oh I guarantee no Carolina wins. Wow. I like that. Okay Moving on Arizona hasn't made it to the Alia final four in a long long time Clemson versus Arizona Mmm, Arizona for sure I like Arizona in this just because it sets up the matchup, North Carolina versus Arizona. Arizona has the Pac-12 player of the year, Caleb Love, who transferred from North Carolina.

Ooh, love hurts. Okay, moving on to the South region. Houston versus Duke in a banger of a game. Really good game. Houston. Houston, H-Town. Okay, Taylor? I like Duke. Oh It's got good guards okay Taylor Taylor picks do alright NC State Marquette

Shaka smart and them boys. Are you sure? I've I want this NC State team to win, though. Right. That's what I have. I want this team to win. I'm going to NC State. Oh. All right, I'm going to put Taylor down for Marquette.

And I mean, you're going to NC State. For sure. Let's go, DJ. All right. In the Midwest, Purdue, Gonzaga. It's a tough one, Purdue, Taylor, you called for it. Legacy moment for Purdue right now. If you don't do it now, when are you going to do it?

Zach Eaddy is two time, he's going to be a two time national player of the year. No final force to show for it. I've got Gonzaga. Wow. I'm with my boy Taylor. No, Zags, I feel like the Zags are just a better team, man. Salute to Zach Eady, but the Zags are zagging.

I'm taking UNC over Arizona. That sets up UConn versus UNC in that side of the bracket. On the other side of the bracket, I'm taking Houston over NCC or Marquette, whoever it is. Doesn't matter. And I'm taking Tennessee. And then from there, that's our final four, UConn, UNC, Houston, and Tennessee.

Nice. That's our final four Yukon UNC Houston and Tennessee nice, which is a one One one Two that was your initial final four. That was my initial final four.
