Welcome back, college sports fans, to our 630th episode, including 160 this “fiscal” year which began last May. Counting today, there will be 8 more Expectations followed by a final Women’s Top 363 and then a Men’s Top 365. In May, we will have our annual Explanation talking about the football conference changes, promotions to the FBS from FCS, and new Division I teams. Following that, we will begin to look at each conference in terms of preseason Strength of Schedule. We will let you know the schedule in May.

There are no Men’s games today, but the GCR was 1-1 predicting yesterday bringing the total to 187-89 (.678). For all postseason games, a 2-1 (.667) record yesterday dropped the overall to 379-166 (.695).

But there are still 8 days remaining in the basketball season. The Men’s NCAA has their Final Four after Michigan rolled and UCONN fought back from 19 down to upset Duke on a last-second prayer. Two (UCLA and UCONN) of the Women’s NCAA 1-seeds earned the Final Four yesterday with the other two (Texas and South Carolina) playing today. Here is a quick table showing how many games are expected for each of the remaining days. When a tournament is listed, it is the final game.
| Date/ Group | 3/30 | 3/31 | 4/1 | 4/2 | 4/3 | 4/4 | 4/5 | 4/6 |
| Women (14) | 7 | 2 | 1 WBIT | 0 | 3 NIT | 0 | 1 NCAA | 0 |
| Men (13) | 0 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 2 NIT CBC | 1 NCAA |
| Total (27) | 7 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 1 |

For the Women, half of the remaining games are today. Those include the remaining NCAA Elite 8 games, the WBIT Semifinals, and the remaining NIT Quarterfinals. The GCR yesterday was 2-1 missing South Dakota over Montana St in the NIT. The total for the postseason is now 194-77 (.716). This is a good slate today. If you haven’t watched any Women’s basketball this season, today is a great day to start. As a reminder, in the table below, the Conf and Seeds column follow the same order as the teams listed in the Games column. If only one conference is listed, both teams are from the same. In the Women’s NIT, there are no published seeds for any team, so we list them as U/U (unseeded). Here are the games.
