Locking In Our NCAA Tournament Bracket on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's crank up the Thursday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we lock in our NCAA Tournament bracket picks. The show discusses Taylor Bol Bowen, Jalil Bethea and Aden Holloway before going pick by pick and making our selections for who's winning March Madness.

Next we transition to Jalil Bethea as the Miami transfer has to step up in place of Aden Holloway. What should we expect out of Bethea? Will he allow the game to come to him, or press to make plays with his larger role?
