After such a successful weekend picking teams to advance in our brackets (what, you didn’t go 46-2 like us?), the RTC Podcast crew is back for another set of analytical Podblasts covering each region this week. Today we release a Podblast for the two regions that will get under way on Thursday night in Boston and Phoenix, the East and West Regions. Brian Otskey joins us as the NCAA East correspondent, and Andrew Murawa is back as the NCAA West correspondent. Tomorrow we’ll have the South and Midwest Regions published for your podcasting pleasure.

East Region Sweet Sixteen Podblast

West Region Sweet Sixteen Podblast

In the vein of what we did last week with our conference tournament Podblasts, this week we’re supplementing our overall bracket Podcast with four region-specific podblasts utilizing each of our experts who will be reporting on different regions throughout the NCAA Tournament. Today we’ll be discussing the Midwest Region with Evan Jacoby and the West Region with Andrew Murawa, both of whom really know these brackets inside and out.

In the vein of what we did last week with our conference tournament Podblasts, this week we’re supplementing our overall bracket Podcast with four region-specific podblasts utilizing each of our experts who will be reporting on different regions throughout the NCAA Tournament.

East Region Podblast

South Region Podblast

In this special edition of the RTC Podcast, we bring in our bracketologist Zach Hayes (@zhayes9) to discuss if any team has a legitimate beef with this year’s NCAA Tournament selections and seedings, and analyze some of the more interesting first round games and storylines. Check back tomorrow as we’ll podblast with two of our four region correspondents to meticulously break down the East and South Regions from top to bottom. But first, here’s the national overview:

As mentioned yesterday, we decided to utilize our national network of correspondents with this week’s series of RTC Podblasts. If you’re arriving a little late to the party, we broke down the awards and conference tournament matchups for the Big East, Big 12 and Pac-12 on Tuesday. Today, we finish up our analysis of each power conference league, beginning with the ACC (with Matt Patton), and followed by the SEC (with Brian Joyce) and Big Ten (with Ryan Terpstra). We had a lot of fun with these, so give us a listen!

It’s an extremely busy week of basketball, with the Big East Tournament already beginning and the other power conference leagues all tipping off in the next two days. Instead of doing the standard early-week RTC Podcast this time around, we decided to break things up a little bit. First, we’ve got the shorter nationally-focused RTC Podblast, but we also brought in some of our microsite correspondents from each of the major leagues to riff a little about their upcoming tournaments. Today we’ll release the Big East Tournament Podblast (with Brian Otskey), the Big 12 Tournament Podblast (with Danny Spewak), and the Pac-12 Tournament Podblast (with Andrew Murawa). Tomorrow we’ll have the other three.

BIG EAST TOURNAMENT PODBLAST

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT PODBLAST

PAC-12 TOURNAMENT PODBLAST

Here we go, heading into another weekend with an RTC Podblast. In today’s episode, we discuss the explosive (or was it?) story coming out about Ben Howland’s regime at UCLA, look at a couple of teams that really improved their NCAA prospects this week, and project forward to the weekend to consider the most interesting games on the calendar.

Like it or not, we’re going to keep doing these things, so here’s our fourth installment of the RTC Podcast. In this week’s episode, we jump right into the brutally competitive Big Ten race, discuss what might have been the game of the year between Missouri and Kansas, debate the value of great sixth men, and rant about some of the most trite phrases we’ll hear about the NCAA Tournament bracket over the next 12 days. Give us a listen!

Another Friday afternoon, another RTC Podblast. In this week’s edition, we discuss our Winners and Losers of the past week worth of action, riff on Bruce Weber’s meltdown, and discuss big upcoming games this weekend.

In this, the third full installment of the RTC Podcast, we discuss Kansas State’s domination over Missouri, the crazy Mountain West Conference, Murray State’s seed possibility, and a lengthy discussion of the merits and demerits of the RPI. Give us a listen!
