Today on Longshore and McKnight, Barry McKnight is broadcasting from the Troy basketball team hotel in Milwaukee and John Longshore is at Stivers. Together, they dive into the heart of March Madness, and people’s brackets are already falling apart. Barry recaps the charter flight out of Montgomery, the Troy fan energy in the Midwest, and a packed arena ready for upsets. The guys react to early bracket busters, including McNeese’s shocker over Clemson and Drake’s win against Missouri, a tough blow for the SEC’s reputation. Alabama’s matchup with Robert Morris and Auburn’s path through Creighton get serious attention, while Troy head coach Scott Cross joins live on game day, giving the show a rare court-side perspective.

Between breakdowns, the guys lean into classic banter—Nick Saban’s old “tin horn” rant resurfaces, Barry admits to filling out his bracket with a pen that “barely worked,” and John takes a detour into locker room etiquette after a reporter’s awkward mid-game question. The SEC’s tournament strength, Missouri’s football win total, and even a segment on a kid selling a $1.1 million Paul Skenes baseball card.
