About
One of the biggest podcasts each year, IL's Terry Foy reacts to the bracket selection, welcoming in:

    NCAA Committee Chair Matthew Colagiovanni
    Johns Hopkins Coach Peter Milliman
    Stony Brook Coach Anthony Gilardi
    Jacksonville Coach John Galloway
    Army Coach Joe Alberici
    Yale Coach Andy Shay

Colagiovanni makes his third and final appearance on this episode, identifying Yale as the last team in and Maryland as the first team out, discussing how the Committee regarded Duke's résumé — especially non-conference strength-of-schedule — why Carolina was seeded ahead of Richmond, Virginia ahead of Syracuse and Cornell and Penn State ahead of Hopkins.

From there, Foy talks to Milliman and Shay about getting their teams back into the Dance, Gilardi and Galloway about breaking the seal for the first time at their respective institutions, and Alberici about how his team rebounded from two years of disappointment to close the deal this time.
