ESPN College Basketball Analyst Jay Bilas and Rich preview the 2026 NCAA Tournament including his prediction of Duke and Michigan losing in upsets, the Arizona Wildcats winning it all, why Arkansas’ Darius Acuff Jr. could steal the spotlight and take the Razorbacks on a deep run, reveals that he thinks America hates Michigan basketball because of Rich’ non-stop honking, and says why the pairing of Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale might be the greatest thing to happen to sportscasting in decades.
