NCAA March Madness Unleashed | Sports Talk Live! with Steve and Justin!

We argue through Sweet 16 matchups, why certain teams look built for March, and how coaching plus late-game nerve changes everything. Then we pivot to how streaming, stadium costs, and new tech like the automated strike zone are reshaping the way fans experience sports and why it’s getting harder to just watch the game.
• Illinois as a real Final Four pick and why the bracket path matters
• Houston’s home-court edge and how “neutral” stops being neutral
• Nebraska’s surprise run and the value of impact players who do not score
• Iowa’s win over Florida as a tempo and coaching lesson
• Transfer portal and NIL creating older rosters and fewer true Cinderella teams
• St. John’s vs Duke hype and Rick Pitino’s late-game play call
• Purdue’s role players peaking and why that changes their ceiling
• Michigan vs Alabama plus Iowa State as a dangerous matchup
• Streaming fragmentation across MLB and NFL and why fans hate it
• Classic baseball broadcasts and what modern coverage lost
• NFL ticket prices and the MetLife Stadium experience problem
