Episode 150 – March Madness 2025: Brackets, Bets, and Bold Predictions with Laurence Kessler (UGA) and Bo Patel (Auburn)

It’s that time of year again—March Madness is here. I am joined by Sports ‘N Torts regulars Bo Patel and Laurence Kessler for our annual NCAA Tournament preview. In this milestone 150th episode, the guys break down the bracket, discuss key matchups, highlight sleeper teams, and debate which squads have the best path to the Final Four. Laurence comes at the discussion as a UGA fan with a team that finally made the dance and Bo as an Auburn fan with a team sitting with with the number 1 overall seed.

The conversation covers everything from SEC dominance in the regular season, Georgia’s long-awaited return to the tournament, and Auburn’s championship hopes to bold predictions, potential upsets, and the latest betting trends. Along the way, they mix in humor, nostalgia, and plenty of trash talk about their alma maters.

Will Auburn cut down the nets? Can Georgia beat Gonzaga and make a run? Is Duke’s Cooper Flagg healthy enough to lead a deep run? Who are their final 4 teams? And how much productivity will be lost at work over the next few weeks?

Tune in for all that and more as we get you ready for the Madness!
