Chris Rouse Show (3/15/2022): Episode 1 - Let The Madness Begin

I'm Chris Rouse, I'm a Sports Commentator (Chicago State Basketball on ESPN+ & Windy City Bulls Radio). I just wanted to create a show where I give my sports thoughts. Thanks you for listening. On this very first episode of the Chris Rouse Show, I'm recording from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois a few hours before the official start of March Madness 2022, the First Four. March Madness is my favorite time of the sports year, and on this very first episode I breakdown all 4 regions of the NCAA Tournament providing my predictions from First Four Winners, to who will be cutting down the nets in New Orleans. Is It Finally Gonzaga's Year? One Last Hurrah For Coach K? Can Baylor Repeat? Let The Madness Begin.
