## Resource

March is here — and we’re breaking it all down with college basketball reporter Will Despart. Will joins Rational Hour to preview the NCAA Tournament, discuss teams built for a deep run, and identify dark horses that could shake up the bracket. We also talk about the conference landscape, coaching matchups, and which players could use March to elevate their 2026 NBA Draft stock.
