NCAA Basketball Final Four Podcast

In this episode of the Torg Stories Podcast, my sister Anne and I discuss the men’s and women’s basketball Final Fours. It was a Big Ten takeover as both Michigan and UCLA won national titles, though the headlines were just as much about some of the coaches as they were about the games. We dive into the physical battle between South Carolina and UConn, Geno Auriemma’s controversial exchange with Dawn Staley, and how Michigan’s was able to secure their first championship since 1989.

Beyond the box scores, we discuss the mass exodus at Tennessee on the women’s side to Mike Malone’s move from the NBA to the ESPN studio to UNC. I also share a few stories from my own trip to the 1997 Final Four in Indy and reveal my updated list of coaches I admire.

Thanks for checking out the episode!
