Trae Young and Oklahoma are struggling with fatigue and spacing, not a lack of talent

I don't see him [Trae Young] playing as quick as the last week or so... I think the whole mental fatigue, physical fatigue, everybody's got that in February. Sometimes you just got to get back to playing quicker... if his team can stay committed to the spacing and they've got to start to string some stops together, I think they'll be just fine.

Oklahoma continued to struggle, losing in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament to Rhode Island. Young's efficiency never fully recovered to early-season levels.

Defense in the NBA All-Star game is not fun

they decided to play defense in the All-Star game, so that's not fun. Especially for those of us that had the over.

The 2018 All-Star Game was indeed more competitive than previous years, resulting in a 148-145 score, which was much lower than the 192-182 score of the previous year.

Left-handedness is proof that the human body is not meant to be left-handed

I think that just playing golf left-handed, that just goes to show you that the human body is not meant to be left-handed. They don't make left-handed can openers for a reason, folks.

The existence of successful left-handed athletes and biological variation makes this a subjective/humorous claim.

I'm rooting for Tim Tebow because he makes sports more interesting

I root for Tim Tebow because he makes sports more interesting, but holy shit, will that be a circus [if he plays in the majors].

This is a personal statement of rooting interest and entertainment value.

Kansas is the most dangerous team left because they can win in many ways

I'll go with Kansas because I think they have so many guys that can beat you and, and, and they can defend. I mean, they can really defend... they've got some real spurtability that where they can knock you out, because they've got such quickness, they've got such speed. They don't have to rely on any one aspect of the game to beat you.

Kansas won the 2022 NCAA National Championship.

Eric Musselman is the most innovative coach in the Sweet 16

There's no question. It's Eric Musselman and it's Eric Musselman versus the field. I mean, he he's, he he's very unique... he's going to find different ways to guard you and they don't panic. That's the thing about Arkansas.

Subjective assessment of coaching innovation, though Arkansas's success as an underdog supports this.

Purdue's size and foul-drawing ability makes them a nightmare matchup

Purdue is such a dangerous team because they score from two, they score from three... Zach Edey is the number one offensive rebound percentage guy in the country... those two and [Jaden] Ivey get fouled an amazing amount, so they can beat you at the foul line.

While factually true about their stats, their 'dangerous' nature failed to prevent an upset by St. Peter's.
