Gino Auriemma is on the hot seat after UConn's second straight Final Four loss

We need to start asking the question if women's college basketball is bad for UConn because they're 0 for 2 in the last two years. Gino [Auriemma] on the hot seat? I think we should put him there.

Hot TakeCBBHotSarcastic
Gino Auriemma was never actually on the hot seat and continued to coach UConn to multiple Final Fours after this.

Michigan will lose to Villanova by at least 10 points in the National Championship

Michigan had like a five-minute run in the second half of their game against Loyola where they looked really, really, really good. If they can play that way for the entire game, maybe they'll lose by 10.

Villanova beat Michigan 79-62, a 17-point margin, which makes this prediction correct.

Michigan will cover the spread against Villanova because water finds its level

I bet on Michigan like I'm going to because water always finds its level.

Michigan did not cover; they lost by 17 as 6.5-point underdogs.

I am pressing the panic button on the Chicago Cubs after a 2-2 start

Two and two. I'd say panic button pressed. Okay. Absolutely. All right. Without a doubt, the panic button has been pressed.

The Cubs won 95 games and made the playoffs in 2018, so the panic was totally unwarranted.

The Washington Capitals winning the Metropolitan Division means it is their year to win the Cup

Other big news, Caps won the Metro. Yeah, it's our year.

The Capitals actually won the Stanley Cup in 2018, making this rare accurate homerism.

There is a 0% chance the falling Chinese satellite hits me

There's 0% chance the Chinese satellite hits me. Okay. 0% chance. I'm just saying. I'm not scared.

The Tiangong-1 satellite re-entered the atmosphere over the South Pacific Ocean and did not hit Big Cat.

Sergio Garcia will choke in the big moments of The Masters

Sergio, I think this ship has sailed for him. He chokes every time he's in a big moment. It's Tiger. You know, it's a mental thing at this point. The second he hears Tiger sneaking up on him... he's going to melt down.

Sergio Garcia famously shot a 13 on the 15th hole in the first round of the 2018 Masters and missed the cut.

Villanova will beat Michigan 84-72 to win the National Championship

Tomorrow night, I'm an incredible basketball fan. John Beilein. Jay Wright. 84-72. Villanova [wins].

Villanova won 79-62. Cooley got the winner right and the double-digit margin right, though slightly off on the exact score.

Jim Nantz has never been on the internet

Jim Nantz has never been online in any capacity that we're talking about. I don't think he's ever been... unless someone's showing him Instagram on their phone, he's not by himself scrolling on social media.

While hyperbolically stated, Nantz's viral 'mimi' gaffe strongly supported the idea that he wasn't a frequent internet user.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the future of American soccer at age 34

Zlatan is going to save soccer in America. He is. He's the future of American soccer. He's 34. And he's the future.

Hot TakeSoccerHotSarcastic
Zlatan was a huge success in MLS but clearly not the long-term future given his age; he returned to Europe shortly after.

Baker Mayfield screen-grabbing negative tweets is a baby back bitch move

Baker Mayfield apparently is screen grabbing everything that's ever been said about him negatively. Sounds like a baby back bitch move that Kevin Durant does.

Mayfield's habit of using 'receipts' became a hallmark of his career, with mixed results regarding his success.

Joel Embiid was high post-surgery based on his Villanova tweets

Joel Embiid who apparently after he broke his face he's been tweeting... oh yeah he's probably been high. Very high. Some of the tweets he had during the game was, 'Man, am I high?' I guess that's confirmed.

Embiid himself joked about being high on pain meds in the tweets Big Cat is referencing.
