Summary: On this episode of the Bracket Racket, we start off by talking about the passing of Rick Majerus and the impact he had on us as basketball fans and on the game of basketball as a whole. In team news, we look at the problems Kentucky and Louisville are having, the imbalance issues with Ohio State, and whether Creighton is overrated — or Boise State is just underrated. We’re joined by two special guests on the show. Will Leitch, writer for Sports on Earth, New York Magazine, Deadspin, and others, joins us and talks about the status of his Illinois Fighting Illini, the current state of the Big Ten, the disintegration of the ACC and Big East, and more. We’re also joined by Andy Cox of CrashingTheDance.com, who gives us insight into his site and his way of looking at the selection field and the teams that are going to make the tournament.
