andy scholes has this morning's "bleacher report." i haven't filled out my bracket yet.no, you don't have to get it in until thursday morning. luckily you still can do all that research i know you want to do. but keep an eye on these teams that win in the first four in your bracket because since they started the first four, teams are grabbing 11 or 12 seed, they have gone on to pull off an upset in the first year except for 2019. and vcu and ucla went from the first four to the final four in a couple years. so keep an eye on those teams like pitt and mississippi state playing last night. this game went back and forth pretty much all night. 21 lead changes. burton made the go-ahead jumper with just ten seconds left. mississippi state great inbounds play to try to win, but the shot no good. tip-in also doesn't go. so pitt wins hanging on to win 60-59 and they advance to play xavier on friday. and the other match-up, corpus christi earns their trip. and next up, they will play the top seed alabama on thursday. after the game head coach said his team plans on making the most

thank you, andy scholes. thank you so much for joining me. i'm fredricka whitfield. smerconish starts right now. >>> we may be about to see what happens when someone is shot on 5th avenue. i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. the office of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg has invited donald trump to testify in an investigation into a hush money scheme involving adult film star stormy daniels that's believed to be a precursor to an indictment. they're required by law to be notified and invited to appear before a grand jury. if charged, trump would be the first former president to be indicted, but would it slow his current presidential quest? i say not a chance, at least not based on this case alone. any charges here would stem from the $130,000 in payments made to daniels during the 2016 campaign. apparently she had been ready to share her story of an affair with trump, but the publisher was a trump friend, who instead helped broker a deal with michael cohen, in which she was paid for silence. i've thought it was the weakest of the trump investigations which
