March is here.
What key events are shaping March Madness this year?
Madness is beginning, and we've already seen the number one team in the MAAC Conference lose Miami of Ohio 31-0. Not now. They're 31-1 as UMass beats them 87-83. I have a poll question out there on Twitter. Should they still be in the NCAA tournament? At KDPomp, we have Jeff Hathorne, the Hawk Report here, until we sign off the air. We're watching a game right now, Jeff. George Washington has a three-point lead over Fordham at PPG Paints Arena with only 28 seconds left in this one. Well, it's an 8-9 seed, and they both have the same record. So it's probably what you should expect. I don't know how that wasn't an over and back because he lost the handle of it. He didn't have it knocked away. There was also a foul involved there.
See, I think this is why I like the conference tournaments. It's like a preview of March Madness a week early. And every team – well, every league doesn't allow every team in anymore, but – Essentially, any team could have a chance to win it. You'll get upsets. There's bad blood between some teams. I think it's cool. Give me four teams you think have a chance to win it all. I think Duke certainly. I think Michigan is really good. I said to Austin earlier, I think Michigan State is a... One of those teams you have to watch out for. They can sneak up. They've had a really good season, and most people aren't talking about them. I think Texas Tech. Texas Tech. How about Jamie Dixon's team? They won last night.
They're 22-9, I think, now in the Big 12. They have a legitimate case. They should have upset Kansas in Kansas, and they blew that one down the stretch. They had a big lead and saw it go away. They'll make a case there. I think BYU's intriguing because of the star power. The Bantam's really good. Yeah, there'll be a lot of eyes on BYU. How about Gonzaga? 30 wins again. And poor Santa Clara, man. They've been a really good team, but they finish second every year. And they had a chance to beat them the other night, and they didn't. There you go. There's your favorite topic on NFL Network. And it's on the cover of ESPN right now. That's what it says. It's Aaron Rodgers. And people should know this, and you know this for being in this business.
The reason that you see so much of this is because people react to it. Absolutely. The headline here on the NFL Network says, Aaron Rodgers holding the Steelers hostage yet again. And man buns losing his mind over it. That's crazy. Well, I don't know when we're going to get an answer one way or the other, but Kyler Murray's visiting with the Vikings. I expect that to be consummated on $1.3 million. Why not? They need a quarterback. Is that your answer? Who? Minnesota? Well, they obviously have soured here against J.J. McCarthy. But, I mean, wouldn't Rodgers or Cousins make more sense? Because you're ready to win right now. Is Kyler Murray going to be your best shot to win? I mean, he's younger, I get that, but you already have a young quarterback.
You're looking for a bridge to have someone that could teach McCarthy, unless you're just going to release him, like have a Kenny Pickett type situation like the Steelers did. I don't know. It's going to be interesting how it all plays out. There's still a lot of free agency left before the draft, which will be here in 40-some days. Before you know it, it will be here. I want to ask you about the Penguins tonight. Another very big game for them. I was encouraged how they got a point, but discouraged how they lost the point because it's the same routine that we've seen over and over with shootouts. But they could have avoided the shootout by winning in overtime with a power play, and they couldn't do that.
Both games, four on threes, no goals. So my question for you – Will this, and we already saw one game, the next four, will they really determine where the Penguins are going to be headed? Because if they should struggle the rest of the way, I think the Islanders and Columbus are going to jump them both. That's how important this four games left is. Will it determine only if it's extremes?
