Hutt and Chad discusses Rick Barnes and his masterclass performance leading the Tennessee Volunteers through the first two rounds. After a commanding 78–56 win over Miami (OH) and a gritty victory against 30-win Virginia, Barnes is silencing the critics who once labeled him a "tournament fader." With a star freshman in Nate Ament playing through injury and Ja’Kobi Gillespie catching fire, Barnes has the Vols looking like a legitimate national title threat. Is it time to admit he’s one of the greatest to ever do it?

The mood shifts from Knoxville to Chapel Hill, where the "hot seat" has turned into a furnace. Following North Carolina’s devastating overtime loss to VCU, the Tar Heels have now suffered back-to-back Round of 64 exits.

Former Vol and SEC analyst Dane Bradshaw joins to provide an insider's look at Tennessee's culture under Barnes and how they managed to neutralize Virginia’s defense. He also weighs in on the wider SEC performance and which teams are poised to make a Final Four run.
