Then, the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a Game 1 loss against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals by winning four straight to advance to the next round.

We return with a key focus on two big-time in-state programs who will be in the NCAA Tournament this year, but we ponder just how far they will go?

What lies ahead and can the Toronto Raptors leapfrog them for the top seed in the East?
