It's been a crazy NCAA so far. We have First Four teams taking out Final Four favorites, #1 seeds falling to schools whose websites can't handle the traffic, and some traditional blue bloods slowly creeping their way back up to the top. This week the guys have the biggest UVA fan they can find, Josh Goldman, on the show to talk about his experiences in the wake of the historic upset. They also pick out their matchups to watch this weekend, and even debate a little on what the selection committee should be thinking about next year. Get ready for the Sweet 16 with 3rd String!
