Podcast: OVIES & GIGLIO
Published On: Tue Mar 25 2025
Description: It's Stephen A. Smith's sports media world. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are just living in it. His latest take on the NCAA Tournament, where he declares the lack of Cinderellas in the Sweet 16 as the potential "death of March Madness", is a doozy. However, it highlights what is important for college basketball -- casuals. Elsewhere in college basketball, the portal opens and Dan Hurley finally fulfilled Ovies' prophecy of fans tiring of his inconsistent act. Mike Maniscalco drops by to discuss the surging Carolina Hurricanes. Is it time to recalibrate Stanley Cup Playoff expectations for this group or have they remained the same since the beginning of the season? Mitch Northam and Shelby Swanon join the podcast to highlight local and national angles to the NCAA Women's Tournament. Feels Like '25: Year of the Hangover Shirt - https://ogfans-hangover.itemorder.com/shop/home/ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - "Death" of March Madness12:00 - NCAA needs casuals20:00 - Portal SZN25:00 - Pick a lane, Hurley!30:00 - Housekeeping36:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes1:00:00 - Duke/UNC again1:11:00 - Women's bracket wide open?1:26:00 - Hey Joe Sign up for exclusive 'OG Fans' content: http://ogtrianglemedia.com/ OG Merch: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7Podcast: https://linktr.ee/ogtrianglemediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia
