Bracket Busters With Weeds & Mack - Episode 3

  • Tuesday, March 28, 2023
Episode 3 of the NCAA Bracket Busters Podcast with Weeds and Mack from PodTopics
Chattanooga is now available for listeners through the Chattanoogan.com. Mark
Wiedmer, a member of the Tennessee Sports Writers Hall of Fame, hosts the podcast
along with Mack McCarthy, the legendary former men’s basketball coach at UT
Chattanooga who led the Mocs to their 1997 appearance in the NCAA tournament’s
Sweet 16 Round.

As they have done in the previous two episodes of this limited-run series, Weeds and
Mack offer analysis and share their observations on this year’s edition of March
Madness, which has made history with the number of lower-seeded teams reaching the
Final Four.
During this edition of the podcast, Weeds and Mack will look back at what
took place in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds of the tournament. They will also look
ahead to this Saturday’s Final Four and the National Championship game on April 3.
During the final portion of the podcast, Weeds and Mack are joined by Greg Thompson
from PodTopics Chattanooga. Weeds and Mack will address questions from Thompson
including who they see has been the most outstanding player to this point, who they
believe has done the best coaching job and what they see has been the most
disappointing performance.

NCAA Bracket Busters with Weeds and Mack can be heard exclusively through the
Chattanoogan.com. The final episode of the limited-run series will be posted in the
Sports Section of the Chattanoogan.com on Wednesday, April 5.
