Brandon Gaudin is the play-by-play voice of Butler University. Butler, you may have heard, is going to the Final Four for the second season in a row. Brandon joined Robert today. Podcast after the jump.

We know. Your bracket is shot. No one had this Final Four. Only a crackhead, right?

Virginia Commonwealth from the Colonial League. An 11-seed. They pantsed Kansas. It may take years for them to recover in Lawrence.

Butler, again. First team from the basketball-rich state of Indiana to make back-to-back Final Fours.

UConn and Kentucky, well, they’re not total surprises given their legacies. But still. No 1-seed, no  2-seed. Unreal.

Winner gets a shout out and the satisfaction of knowing they are the most clever for a day.

Kevin Kugler calls football, basketball, and baseball play-by-play for Westwood One. He’ll have the call of the Final Four this year. He also called the Butler-Wisconsin game last night. He joined Robert today. Podcast of the conversation after the jump.

Marques Johnson won an NCAA championship under John Wooden at UCLA. He enjoyed an extensive pro career. He’s also an actor. And, he and his son Chris are the only father-and-son pair to both win NCAA basketball championships at the same school. Chris won with the Bruins in 1995.

Marques is currently a college basketball analyst with FOX Sports West. He covers the wildly underrated Pac-10 conference. Marques joined Robert today. Podcast after the jump.

There are upsets, and there are upsets. Any time Duke loses in the NCAA Tournament, it feels like a big deal. When the Blue Devils are a 1-seed and don’t get past the Sweet Sixteen? That’s a big deal.

Hats off to the Arizona Wildcats of the Pac-10 Conference. They opened a can on the Dukies, beating them 93-77 to advance to the Elite Eight.

We like round numbers in life, and especially in Sport. 300 wins and 500 home runs are our ending-in-zero favorites for determining the magnitude of a Major League Baseball career. In the NBA, a 50-win season has some basic resonance as to how successful a season a team has enjoyed. Such is also the case when a basketball player scores 20 points per game on average. And so on.

Trying to wrap your brain around 900 career victories is a little like trying to taste your tongue. It’s hard.

Quite a weekend, if you happened to be following that little college basketball tournament going on right now.

2-seed North Carolina went to the wire before beating Washington. 2-seed San Diego State needed two overtimes to put away Temple. 1-seed Duke squeaked by Michigan by two points.

And those weren’t even the upsets.

The Sweet Sixteen includes an 8 seed (Butler), a 12-seed (Richmond), and two 11-seeds (Marquette and Virginia Commonwealth). And dig those who have already left the dance. Wow.

Scott Graham is in the middle of calling a bunch of NCAA Tournament games for Westwood One. In between his call of three games earlier this week and two more tomorrow, he found time to talk to Robert about March Madness. Podcast after the jump.

Well, then. How about that NCAA Tournament?

It never fails to deliver the goods. Sorry about it, Louisville. Sorry about it, Vandy. Some of the higher seeds have to die for the legend of the tournament to live. These are the rules.
