And we've seen upsets from 14 seeds before. They've got Xavier in the first round here in a 3-seed-versus-a-14-seed matchup. And they won one game in the whole season three years ago. If somebody's going to surprise us, who would you be unsurprised at being surprised by?ĪUERBACH: Well, I'm going to pick a team that's at my site here in Greensboro, and it's Kennesaw State. SHAPIRO: OK, taking a step back, both - either gender, Americans love an underdog. They're trying to go back-to-back, and it just feels like this is Dawn Staley's world, and we're living in it. But it really does feel like the only team that can beat South Carolina is South Carolina. UConn is getting healthy at the right time. And you have really intriguing teams like Iowa, Stanford, Indiana again, on the women's side. It's just this is going to be one of those tournaments where it is South Carolina versus the field. Which teams do you think threaten their back-to-back championships?ĪUERBACH: Can I say no one? And I mean that.ĪUERBACH. Dawn Staley and South Carolina were heavy favorites last year. SHAPIRO: And the women's tournament kicks off tomorrow. You've got Houston trying to make a Final Four in their hometown, but also an Indiana team that I think has two pros and has potential to go the furthest of any Big Ten team this season. The last region is the one I think could be the most interesting. I think Kansas is an intriguing team trying to go back-to-back with Bill Self. I also really like Marquette, they're a 2 seed, fresh off of Big East championship and Conference Tournament championship. And they are as hot as anybody in the country. They have been in the news for off-the-court reasons and on-the-court reasons over the last few weeks. SHAPIRO: Starting with the men, of the teams right now in the tournament, which ones are you keeping a really close eye on in these early days?ĪUERBACH: Well, I hate to go too chalky here, but you really do need to start with the 1s and the 2 seeds. NICOLE AUERBACH: Hey, thanks for having me. Well, Nicole Auerbach, a senior writer with The Athletic, and she's covering round one in Greensboro, N.C., but took a pause to give us a little tip sheet. Every year, millions of Americans fill out brackets, trying various strategies to predict which college team will make it into the Final Four.
The NCAA's men's basketball tipped off today, launching the tournament. Contains small parts and must be supervised at all times.Let the games begin. Please note: this therapeutic tool is NOT a toy. The unit comes with a special Vibe Battery that is not available in stores. This end of the handle is open so that you can easily replace the battery when necessary.
To turn the unit on, simply twist the Switch Tip at the opposite end of the handle just until the unit starts to vibrate (please do not over-tighten!). This end of the handle is sealed off from the internal components so that no saliva, water, or moisture can compromise the unit from that end. Use the Probe Tip for oral motor assessment and development. The handle comes with a blue Probe Tip on one end and a Switch Tip on the other. The texture around the handle provides a slip-proof grip, and it can also be brushed along the cheeks, arms, hands, etc. The Z-Vibe's sleek, innovative design features a lightweight, textured plastic handpiece. Vibration can also be very calming, soothing, and organizing. Its gentle vibration provides a new level of sensory stimulation to increase oral focus and draw more attention to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. Use it to provide a varied sensory experience and/or to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity. The Z-Vibe is a vibratory oral motor tool that can help build oral tone and improve a variety of speech, feeding, and sensory skills.
