FULL SHOW: USD's Wagner is out as head coach / Sioux Falls bidding to host NCAA men's hoops opening rounds / Timberwolves Talk with Chris Johnson and Jon Oppold (what to now???)

USD softball went from "Wow! What a wonderful weekend! to "Whoa! Wait, what just happened?"   Head coach Robert Wagner and the school parted ways on Tuesday, abruptly ending his 10-year tenure.   This, just a few days after the Coyotes first-ever NCAA Tournament trip (and win) in the program's 48-year history, two days after a clip of Associate Head Coach Shannon Pivovar's uplifting "I'm so proud of you" video went viral for the all the right reasons, one day after Pivovar talked about that moment and the inspiring Coyotes run on Happy Hour.   What the heck happened? The Happy Hour host attempts to connect the dots and surmise what comes next.   Meanwhile, Sioux Falls is bidding to be the second host city for the expanded NCAA men's basketball tournament's new "opening round" games that start in 2027. Dayton has hosted opening round games — more accurately termed as the "play-in" games to enter the Round of 64 that starts on the Thursday and Friday of the first NCAA tourney week — since the field expanded from 64 to 68 teams in 2011.   Now, "March Madness" will feature a field of 76 teams, including 24 teams who will play 12 games to cut the field to 64 for those "first round games" you see on Thursday and Friday. Dayton will get six games. Another city will get the other six.   Sioux Falls Sports Authority program director Jerry Palleschi plays a major part in making the case for Sioux Falls to host NCAA events. This past March, The PREMIER Center hosted the NCAA Division II wrestling championships and an NCAA Division I men's hockey regional in back-to-back weeks. It also hosted an NCAA women's regional within the last decade and two men's Div. II national championships in hoops several years ago.   But multiple bids were placed for the golden goose of Div. I men's hoops have fallen short. So, why does Palleschi feel the "opening rounds" fit Sioux Falls better? What are the criteria for hosting, and how well does Sioux Falls meet them?   To round out Tuesday's show, a final three-man weave of Timberwolves Talk of the 2025-26 season with the Happy Hour host and die-hard fans Chris Johnson (USF men's basketball coach) and Jon Oppold (co-owner of Orion Pub, a Sioux Falls Wolves watch bar).    The Spurs steamrolled the Wolves in both Game 5 and Game 6, advancing to the Western Conference Finals and denying the Wolves a third consecutive trip to that round. Now what?   How wide is the gap between Minnesota and San Antonio, not to mention the Spurs' conference finals opponent Oklahoma City, who waxed the Wolves in that round last year? What roster moves must General Manager Tim Connelly make to keep up with those two titans and harness the athletic prime of precious franchise commodity Anthony Edwards?   Time to play armchair GM. Julius Randle and Rudy Goebert, beware!
