College basketball metrics analyst Ken Pomeroy makes his triumphant annual to the Distraction to preview this year’s March Madness! Drew, Roth and Ken make their Final Four picks, give the all-important UPSET SPECIAL, and show what teams are min-maxing offense and defense. And they nicely explain to Roth why Wagner, although in the tournament, is mathematically dogwater. And as always, they dive into the Funbag for real questions from real listeners!

About The Show
The Distraction is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
