Hawkins naturally MCs the organization of the bracket and tracks everyone’s selections. While statistics are certainly considered when making their selections, nostalgia and ‘gut feelings’ also guide their decisions. \n\nEach guest made their selection, often followed by fun commentary and light-hearted joking about any selection deemed “risky.” For instance, when Lash threw her Aztec ancestry aside and chose the Creighton Bluejays over the San Diego State Aztecs, all were shocked. “I’m going to stray from the Aztecs,” Lash laughed. To which Hawkins responded, “What! I did not see that coming. Unbelievable … She must have some inside knowledge.” \n\n For the South, all but Lash chose Tennessee as coming out on top and their ‘dark horse,’ meaning a team that will win multiple games against opponents that might have different styles of play. “Well, I got to say I knew I liked Balraj, because I think that the Vols come out, and they beat Arizona in the elite eight. I think Arizona is very very good. It’s going to be an incredible game in the elite eight, but I like the Vols.” Hawkins added, “You can tell we’re all moved by the SEC championship.” \n\n Tune in and subscribe to this special and lively Compass podcast to find out who they pick to win it all.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RXpUKjFAoV_3f-mxnboQocsKDB9VaG8WJ0_7eYXXgB0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZmI5/ODRlMjU4Zjg3ODM4/ZDJlOWUzMDhiNWUw/YzI1Mi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
