It's been a tumultuous and disappointing week in the ACC hotbed of the Research Triangle. Duke blew its chance at a Final Four, North Carolina moved on from head coach Hubert Davis, and Will Wade unceremoniously left NC State after only a season. The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast discusses a drama-filled week in the Tar Heel state and gives predictions for the Final Four.

Topics discussed:

  • Duke's collapse against UConn in the Elite Eight (0:00-17:44)
  • Predictions for the Final Four (17:44-27:44)
  • The dramatic end of the Will Wade tenure at NC State (27:44-40:43)

TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, a life-long NC State fan, both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference.
