This week on the Respect the Hustle Podcast, we take a look at the impending or already begun conference tournaments going on around the country. From low-major basketball to mid-major basketball, things are just beginning to heat up from coast to coast and we will be here to bring you all of the action.
Who do you think is the most dangerous team that the national conversation has yet to fully endorse? Could it be Coastal Carolina, who earned a No. 3 seed in their conference tournament but has given Virginia and Wisconsin both runs for their money in past NCAA Tournaments? What about Belmont or Iona? William Whelan takes a look at all of the hottest teams competing for their conference’s auto-bid and asks whether or not they’ll be the one to finally knock off a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance.
Also, Whelan looks at Monmouth, Wichita State, and Gonzaga, asking whether or not any of these three have a chance for an at-large bid should they fail to win their conference tournaments. The answer might not make fans of those teams happy, but it could elevate the hopes of Power 5 teams fighting to stay on the bubble as the season comes to a close.
All that and more on the Respect the Hustle Podcast, as we gear up for the homestretch of conference tournaments, heartbreak, buzzer-beaters, and finally, Selection Sunday. It’s the best week of the year and we here at GetMoreSports are ready to bring you coverage from all angles.
