Bryant Ott connects with Matt DeMarinis, who is in Charlotte after accompanying the 8-seed Creighton men’s basketball team on their flight to the site of their first round (and, second round, hopefully) 2018 NCAA Tournament games.
First up for the men’s squad: a date with 9-seed Kansas State — that’s right, Marcus Foster’s old team.
To preview the game and the team’s approach to their second at-large trip to the Big Dance in the past two years, Matt interviews Academic All-American Tyler Clement (33:15).
Then, Matt features an interview with Creighton women’s basketball’s Sydney Lamberty and Myah Mellman (49:45). They and the rest of their teammates learned late Monday that they were one of the last four at-large teams added to the women’s field for the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
Their trip takes them to Pauley Pavillion in Los Angeles, where as an 11-seed they’ll face a familiar 6-seed in the Iowa Hawkeyes.
