Beyond the Bracket podcast: Previewing this weekend’s blueblood-infused Final Four
Welcome back to Beyond the Bracket, a special edition series of the SportsBeat KC podcast on everything March Madness.
This final episode features insiders around two Final Four teams: Jesse Newell, who covers the Kansas Jayhawks for The Star, and Steve Wiseman, who covers the Duke Blue Devils for the News & Observer in North Carolina.
Saturday’s semifinal games feature four of the best programs in the game: Kansas, Duke, North Carolina and Villanova. Newell and Wiseman provide insight into how the teams they cover got here, including how the Blue Devils overcame the pressure of a final season under coach Mike Krzyzewski and some keys to the Jayhawks’ success in the tournament.
The trio also discusses the magnitude of these Final Four matchups, keys to each game, the possibility of a Duke-Kansas title showdown and who might hit a buzzer-beater.
