Every Monday at 8:30am StarTribune sports writer Michael Rand stops into the Morning Show to share the latest news in Sports.

Today Michael Rand chatted with The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about:

1) Twins season opener is today in Chicago. Let's aim for some optimism: how could this team be better than most of us think?

2) Gophers men's hockey in the NCAA Frozen Four. Gophers men's basketball in the NIT semifinals. Hey, more good news!

3) checking in on that story from a couple weeks ago: nobody is winning a billion dollars from warren Buffett. In fact, nobody even got really close to a perfect NCAA tournament bracket.
