Part 6/8:
As the hosts transition to discuss the small schools making their way into postseason contention, they express a mix of hope and skepticism. The excitement surrounding teams like SMU is palpable, but the hosts are wary—stressing the importance of these teams stepping up and competing, especially since they feel there's a critical disdain towards schools that fail to perform on the big stage.
Warnings are voiced against the potential for disappointment should these smaller teams not show up ready to compete. The sentiment is crystal clear—the hosts want to root for the underdog but are cautious based on past experiences when these teams fell short, particularly in second-tier matchups.
