Michigan Conquers the Madness, Masters Week has Arrived, Panic in the AL East, and More | Full Episode 9

from The Hillside Club · host The Hillside Club

The Michigan Wolverines officially cut down the nets and the boys spend the opening stretch reacting to a title game that felt equal parts gritty, dominant, and controversial. We break down the championship matchup itself, why the officiating became way too big of the story, whether Michigan deserved more credit even in the loss, and why it somehow felt like Charles Barkley was rooting against UConn the whole way. We also hit the women’s side of the tournament, what went wrong for UConn, the Geno vs. Dawn conversation, UCLA winning it all, and whether the rough shooting throughout the tournament was a bad look for the sport. From there, the boys shifted gears to Augusta as Master’s week is underway. We touched on Augusta’s historic word choice, Rory’s dinner menu, and our picks. Elsewhere, we get into Mike Malone heading to UNC, early-season Yankees expectations, Boston fans already spiraling into full panic mode, NBA blowouts, and whether the Lakers are cooked without Luka and Austin Reaves. Plus, the boys empty the clip with Open to Work, About It or Not About It, Champions League quarterfinals, and why Arsenal better lock in before this season goes completely off the rails. Be sure to subscribe for more. Thanks for watching!
