Happy first day of spring!

And happy first day of March Madness! On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-host Ellen Hyslop and guest host Lauren Tuiskula dig into the always exciting First Four round of the NCAA basketball tournament before kicking it over to the pitch for some major NWSL news. 

The men’s First Four tips off tonight and the women’s begins tomorrow, so Ellen and Lauren have your guide to how it all works, the storylines to know, and the teams to watch. 

Then after the break, the gals detail a flurry of team sales in the NWSL, including the complications surrounding the league’s highest-valued club, Angel City FC.
