You know, like the women's even when I took on this space four years ago, it was sort of a breeding ground for like new people. You know, it's like you come and like you learn your chops and you go through your You're whatever on the women's side. And now we're getting, you know, the best of everyone, the best graphics people, the best researchers, the best producers.

So I just think it's it's how much more interest, but also just how much more resources are put behind it.

I love when politicians try to cosplay as irrational, angry fans. How many West Virginia games we think that dude's watched this year? Where's West Virginia in terms of public school rankings? Because I think they're like 35th in the United States. Where's your outrage for that?

Where's your outrage for literally anything else that's happening in the country right now, but this is your sticking point? You're pissed about this? Here's what I would say. If you want to leave no doubt, that is completely in your hands to leave absolutely no doubt.

You either build that resume throughout the year or you win your respective conference tournament and then you don't have to worry about the corrupt committee. I don't agree with a lot of their opinions. I know that a lot of this is because I believe the AD for UNC is the committee chair. And this happens across.

All of sports is that if there's a selection committee, they typically come from a school. They're supposed to excuse themselves when it comes to these conversations. But the truth is, like anybody in this space, Dan called this a little bit ago. We had Tom Crean on our show just the other day before the UNC Duke game. And he basically said, like, if UNC.

fights a little bit and tries hard, if all things are equal, they're always gonna go with a blue blood. And that's because of ratings, right? Like they're always gonna go with a blue blood team like a UNC with the hopes that they'll face a Duke and that would be a ratings bonanza. Do I think that UNC was deserving based on their resume? Not really. I think they're one in 12 and quad one wins.

Nobody even knows what that actually means. But like... Whenever politicians do this, it's so annoying to me because you don't care. You don't actually care. You're just trying to rally up your base, curry a little bit of favor, but you don't care. And there are certainly more important things in the state of West Virginia that need to be addressed.

Yes. Yeah. When we saw this bracket, I was like, ooh. We talked to the committee after we got the bracket. We get the bracket right before the show airs because we do have to build graphics and things like that. Spoiler alert to the folks at home, we don't learn in real time. So we get a chance to just debrief with them before the show.

And they claim that they don't look at those kinds of things, potential rematches from a year ago. They don't look at, you know, what would be, we feel, and as TV people robbing people of a potential Final Four matchup between two of the faces in the league in UConn and USC.

But yeah, she's looking at her bracket and she's going, we earned a one seed and you make us have the toughest path because to get to the Final Four, we potentially have to go through UConn, a team that, by the way, ended their season last year when they were a one seed in the Elite Eight and a team that they already had to face this year.
