Welcome to the fantasy throw down podcast, bringing you the latest from the world of

sports, DFS and gambling. With over five years of hot takes and millions of downloads later, I guess he's been doing something right.

Now, sit back and listen to one of the sharpest minds in the game.

Here's your host, Duane Calendar.

Hello and welcome to the show folks.

This is your West region preview and let's get right down to it because in the West we have UNC is the overall number one seed. Interesting debate here because there

are folks who say Arizona as the two seed should have gotten it. You know I think it's kind of splitting hairs. UNC didn't look great

down the stretch, had a bad loss to NC State. Now granted there are folks that are buying into the

empty state late season run. I'm still struggling with that one but their

bracket and we'll get to NC State and and

when their region comes up because frankly the South is a mess in my opinion, but NC State has a very nice draw.

I will say that in terms of match-ups.

But let's talk about the West region.

So you've got UNC's the number one seed, you've got Arizona is the two,

Baylor as the three seed, question marks there, Alabama as the four seed, even more question marks there, and St Mary's as the five seed, I cannot,

I just think they got overrated. I think the West Coast Conference between St Mary's and Gonzaga.

How does Gonzaga get the 5th even when St Mary's, I don't know,

like to me it's kind of, it's one of the areas that I don't I don't get to like say marriage was clearly

uh a step ahead of gazaga I don't even like St Mary's. It's just to me, Gonzaga got

overseeded. St Mary's, I just think they're very weak to Grand Canyon.

To me, that's the most obvious 512 upset is Grand Canyon over St Mary's in terms of their play style.

But going down the rest of these matchups you have Clemson who is an underdog as a six seed. I want to stress this again.
