Welcome back to Beyond the Bracket, a special edition series of The Kansas City Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast that’s here to get you ready for the NCAA Tournament.

Each week, I’ll be joined by reporters and columnists from around the country to discuss college hoops. This episode features insiders into two of the top-seeded teams: Jesse Newell, who covers the Kansas Jayhawks for The Star, and John Clay, a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader who covers the Kentucky Wildcats.

The official bracket has been revealed and March Madness is here. We share our reactions to how the field was seeded, break down each region, discuss what upsets to watch for, explain the best practices in filling our your bracket and give our updated Final Four picks.

This story was originally published March 15, 2022 at 6:00 AM with the headline "Filling out your March Madness bracket? Our Beyond the Bracket podcast has you covered."
