No Shot Clock, Ep. 78: Regional review, sectional storylines

Michael O’Brien and Joe Henricksen’s weekly Chicago high school basketball podcast. It was a busy week of regional playoff action capped off by a sensational Friday night of regional finals.

We start off this week’s episode with our Two Takes and then take a look back at some of the regional upsets and talk about the games we attended.

Then the focus shifts to sectionals. We break down some of the top storylines to monitor this week.

-The Maine East sectional is up for grabs, is there a favorite?

-There were plenty of upsets in regionals, but almost all the No. 1 seeds have survived

-The Catholic League had a terrific run in the regionals. Which Catholic League teams can keep it up and can any win in Peoria?

That and much more.
