Evan and Jack spend the first hour wrapping up March Madness, then (58:25) look ahead to the Masters, followed with (1:19:55) some first impressions from the first week of MLB action.
Included: what we will remember most from the Tournament, the women's Final Four, UCONN losing (again), NBA prospects in Monday's National Championship game, Villanova's dominance, Beilein and Jay Wright's greatness, Tiger, Phil, the Cubs' slow start, and other action from around the diamond! And of course, much, much more!
*Note: I mispoke on Justin Rose. Rose won the US Open in 2013; I mispoke and said that he has yet to win a major.
