## Resource

The College Basketball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network give out their National Championship Picks. On the show Colby Dant (@TheColbyD), Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac), Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_), Troy Chewning (@troychewning), and Matt (@CannabisCapper) provide their thoughts and analysis on the Final Four games. The group reacts to Michigan’s blowout of Arizona (crediting Dusty May’s coaching and Michigan’s guard play, transition, and shot-blocking) and UConn’s win over Illinois (praising Dan Hurley’s team's ball movement, physicality, and in-game adjustments while criticizing Brad Underwood). They debate assistant coaches that could be head coach candidates. Plus, they discuss a women’s basketball handshake controversy involving Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley and give picks on Oklahoma vs West Virginia, and Auburn vs Tulsa the College Basketball Crown and NIT Championship games respectively. 00:00 Intro 15:11 Michigan Dominates Arizona 29:03 Geno Auriemma vs Dawn Staley 36:42 Dan Hurley Outcoaches Underwood as UConn Beats Illinois 38:33 Dynasty Talk and Hurley's All Time Rank 40:17 Ball Movement Clinic Breakdown 41:39 Tactical Adjustments and Shot Making 44:20 Illinois' Favorable Path 49:11 Roster Talent Debate and Coaching GOATs 52:52 Assistant Coaches That Could Be Head Coaches 01:01:30 Off Topic Movie Tastes 01:09:49 Oklahoma vs West Virginia Picks 01:12:06 Auburn vs Tulsa Picks NIT Championship 01:18:51 UConn vs Michigan Picks 01:32:55 Player Projections Chat 01:43:37 And we are outta here
