A look at the unexpected Final Four men’s tournament lineup

Season 2023 Episode 86 | 5m 59s

If there was ever an NCAA tournament that earned the name “March Madness,” this one is it. For the first time, all four No. 1 seeds in the men’s tournament failed to reach the Elite Eight or the Final Four, and no one expected the teams that remain. Nicole Auerbach, senior writer for The Athletic, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss what might explain some of these results.
