Dishin & Swishin 03/15/17 Podcast: The Roundtable previews the NCAA tournament

[DishNSwish]

Each year we break down the tournament, the stories, the players, and give you a roundtable discussion to help you know what to look for and who to watch.


This year's NCAA preview roundtable consists of:

• Mechelle Voepel, ESPNw
• Doug Feinberg, AP
• Gabriella Levine, Freelance women's basketball writer

It is always great to have Voepel and Feinberg, roundtable regulars who are two of the very best in the business, and it is a pleasure to have Levine, who has become a podcast regular on the Locked on WBB podcast, for the first time.


Together the panel explores topics including:

• The NCAA committee's questionable decisions, including South Carolina out west (again) and Maryland as three seed in Bridgeport
• Region by region discussions to help you fill out your brackets
• Tough matchups, who can pull off the big early upset?
• Those 5-12 games are often upsets on the men's side but could the women's five seeds be ripe to be picked off?
• The respect (or lack thereof) for the Big Ten
• How does the loss of Alaina Coates impact South Carolina
• Which top five seeds are ready for the next step and to make it to the final four
• Players to watch for that you may not be thinking of in each region
• We know about the importance of veteran guards, but we have freshmen point guards in position to make a huge difference this year

Outstanding. I gotta admit I got chills hearing the panel discuss NCState.

thank you for listening. Mechelle certainly believes in NC State, doesn't she?
