Four teams — Duke, Michigan, Arizona, and Florida — have separated themselves as the clear top tier in college basketball as conference tournament week begins. Jon Rothstein breaks down why those four programs stand above the rest and what it means for the race for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Plus, hear from Michigan head coach Dusty May on where his team stands entering the postseason. We also take a deep dive into the conference tournament brackets across the ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, and SEC, react to the final AP Top 25 of the season, and run through the latest news and notes from around the country — including Nebraska tying a school-record 26 wins under Fred Hoiberg, St. John’s winning the Big East regular season title outright for the second straight year under Rick Pitino, and Donovan Dent’s incredible assist-to-turnover stretch for UCLA. Finally, we highlight several potential bid stealers to watch as championship week unfolds.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
