It was madness on the Toucher & Hardy show as our guests, guest hosts, and contributors came together for an NCAA Tournament roundup.

Let's run down the roster to start with. Fred was out, so Hardy was hosting. In for Fred? WBZ-TV's Dan Roche, who earlier in the week provided us with a bit of a Red Sox hot take. Check out his Sox win total prediction here.

As it was a Wednesday, we also had Chris Forsberg from NBC Sports Boston in studio for his weekly visit. And that visit went long when we told him who'd be joining our impromptu roundtable chat about the big men's college basketball tourney.

NCAA Tournament Roundup: Ian Eagle Has Entered the Chat

The unmistakable voice of Ian Eagle joined our own eagle, Jon Wallach, and all of the aforementioned players to talk about the Tournament, as well as the impact of the NIL and transfer portal on the success of mid-major programs.

Oh, and thanks to Dan Roche: it's not often a guest host fills in and books a guest, too! Listen to more below, and don't forget: you can watch Toucher & Hardy live weekdays mornings on the Sports Hub YouTube page.
