The Open Run With Will StricklandEpisode 163 – Genetic Lottery
It’s time to dance.
Conference tournament upsets are a bettor’s dream for men’s #MarchMadness with no clear cut favourite and for upset-minded gamblers watching the women’s quest for the title!
Wall $t. and his Rice Owls squad never made the dance as their Cinderella shoes didn’t fit…
But, in this week’s ep, Wall $t. builds with two guys, one who danced twice and one, like him, who also never made the dance, but are still living out their dreams… of a different kind.
Those men, William Gates and Arthur Agee, run the fast break with Will Strickland as they reminisce and recognize the 30th Anniversary of arguably the greatest sports film ever: Hoop Dreams.
Is there lifetime cultural contribution Oscars recognition imminent?
In addition, key NBA Games Of The Week are reviewed, women’s college All Americas are revealed, the first of many absurd and anticipated milestones is resounded and #SelectionSunday brackets are reckless busted in advance of the games!
