Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast: Carolina Bubble Trouble

TheSabre.com introduced a new podcast partnership to be featured here on the site and through our social media channels. It’s time for Episode 12.

Hosted by two people named Michael – ACC fans by birth, degenerate gamblers for mirth – The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast is a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw is a University of Virginia graduate and fan, while Michael Shutt is a life-long NC State fan. Both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s the first week of March which means tickets to the NCAA tournament are being punched, bubbles are popping, and bracketologists are earning their paychecks. For this episode, the show discussed:

  • UNC’s perilous position on the bubble and our predictions for the ACC Tournament (0:00-31:18)
  • Our picks for every other major conference tournament (31:18-1:00:13)
  • The strangeness of the WAC Tournament seeding system (1:00:13-1:12:43)
  • Our predictions for the Wooden Award and National Coach of the Year (1:12:43-1:19:33)
