This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features basketball analyst Brendan Haywood, who works with CBS Sports and NBA TV, to discuss the NCAA Final Four.
Hear why Haywood reluctantly acknowledges Duke as the best team in the field, but why he thinks Florida can win the national title. He also explains what Johni Broome means to Auburn and why Houston can give the Blue Devils problems in the semifinals. Haywood also recalls his time as a player on the North Carolina team that reached the 2000 Final Four but lost big when the Tar Heels played Louisville basketball at Freedom Hall.
A new episode of this podcast, hosted by Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, posts each Wednesday. You can listen to The C.L. Brown Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast, Audible, CastBox and iHeartRadio, among others.
