We're down to 16. After a comeback-laden but chalky first two rounds, Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce break down everything that happened over the weekend on the women's side, on and off the court, from results and late-game drama to Kenny Brooks leaving VT for Kentucky. Plus Rob gets sidetracked and goes on not one but two tangents for those who want to complain about officiating and/or want neutral sites for the first two rounds for "fairness". We wrap it up with some Sweet 16 and potential Elite 8 previews, all on the latest Gauer Hour presented by the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Finally, the beloved bracket is here. On the latest Gauer Hour presented by the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, Rob & Megan largely have no issues with the field of 68. They do, however, think the committee could have gotten much more creative. They go region-by-region to breakdown the potential bracket busters, who isn't getting respect (are we really doing this "12-seed FGCU" thing again?) and, ultimately, who will cut down the nets in Cleveland. An hour of straight tourney talk to get you set for the weekend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
