What are the top teams Greg Cote is watching in the tournament?

Chris Cote 0:54
Dad, this is very exciting. I've been wanting to get to this all show. Dan's still ashamed of that last segment, so he's not back yet. Yeah, should be. You had on your list of topics today top five teams you're watching in the tournament. Yes. It's not your top five teams, but just teams you're interested in watching. Explain this process to us.
Mike 1:11
Well, I'll be interested in watching five particular teams for a certain reason. I'm going to let you guys figure out what the running theme of this list is. Are they like number five? We can do like a countdown?
Chris Cote 1:22
Yeah. All right, let's go.
Mike 1:22
All right, number five. From the first four play-in round, they play tonight, American University, led by third-leading scorer Greg Jones. I see where we're going with this.
Chris Cote 1:35
Got my eye on them, too.
Mike 1:36
Number four. The Patriots. Number three seed in the East, Wisconsin, coached by the incomparable Greg Gard. One by a lot. Number three. Nine seed in the South, Creighton, coached by Greg McDermott.
Chris Cote 1:54
How they divvy up those electoral votes. Kind of one note this bit, but all right.
Mike 1:58
Number two, eight seed in the Midwest, Gonzaga, led by sixth leading scorer, Ben Gregg. Reaching for that one. And number one, 10 seed in the South region, the New Mexico Lobos, because bows back bows.
Chris Cote 2:19
Coached by Richard Pitino. Yeah, how about that? He reshaped his career after losing his job over in Minnesota.
Mike 2:26
How about that? Lobos are back. Lobos are back. Really good. Jack. Jack. Didn't we have somebody from the Lobos on our podcast? No. The one that you and I do?
Chris Cote 2:36
I'm not exactly sure.

Why does Greg prefer watching the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament?

Mike 2:37
No, no, no. There's so many podcasts these days. Like the mayor. I think the mayor of the town or something was on our podcast bragging about the Lobos. I don't know.
Tony 2:46
Move on. Greg, how much of the NCAA tournament are you actually going to watch?
Mike 2:50
I'm going to be very honest with you. I start paying real attention when it gets to the Sweet 16. Like, I want the wheat, separate the chaps.
Chris Cote 2:59
So you don't like the weekend that everybody likes. Right. Because this is the one... Thursday, Friday's it, baby. I mean, this is the one where you just get games, games, games, games, games, games. I know. They slow down after the first weekend.
Mike 3:09
I don't need that many games, you know? And I think Cinderella is a fallacy in the NCAA. Like, the 16 beating the one... has happened what three times in history like like i don't rely on that i i want good teams survivors you know when it gets under the sweet 16 certainly in the elite eight that's when i really start dialing in it just i love when there's so many games that you're trying to figure out do i have true tv i don't know where is it it's like oh it's channel 374 it's like i didn't even know that what's on there
Chris Cote 3:41
Time-honored tradition of seeing impractical jokers promos headed into every break. Literally, I woke up on my couch at 2 a.m. this morning because I had fallen asleep. Attaboy. And practical jokers on. It was great. What show's that?
Mike 3:55
It's these four guys.

Is women's college basketball gaining more popularity?

Tony 3:56
Well, now three guys. He'll find out soon enough. Well, no, because they're not going to be on true TV by the time he starts watching.
Chris Cote 4:01
It's amazing that he doesn't know about it just because of like once a year we all get inundated with impractical Joker's ads.
Jessica 4:08
Maybe he's just watching the women's tournament because that one's on mostly ESPN.
Mike 4:11
I'll tell you what, and I'm not alone, and it wasn't just Caitlin Clark either or Angel Reese, but last year was the first year that that I personally was as interested or more interested in the women's NCAAs than the men's. I just found it more compelling. The storylines were better. And this year, I was thinking it would fall off the table because Caitlin was gone.
