College basketball hasn’t felt the same this year, as Dick Vitale hasn’t been able to announce games since before the new year due to complications from his battle with cancer. The good news for everyone is that Vitale seems to be improving, in fact, he even showed up at the SEC Tournament over the weekend.
That doesn’t mean he’ll be back in front of a TV camera giving his “Diaper Dandies” and “PTPers” too soon, unfortunately.
However, Vitale released his support picks on Sunday night. Watch below to find out who has won the legendary commentator in each regional and ultimately cutting the nets.
