Predicting March Madness Early Rounds: Sleepers, Surges & Showdowns

As more news emerges about the WNBA CBA deal, Chantel and Sabreena break down the biggest wins for both sides.

Then with March Madness in full swing, they preview the weekend’s biggest matchups, diving into the storylines, potential upsets, and chaos that define the tournament. They break down teams like TCU and West Virginia, examine why South Dakota State could shake up brackets, and debate whether the Big East is deeper than expected—and how that could impact the field.

Finally, they wrap things up with ‘Something In Common.’
