I would bet my life that Duke will not win a national championship in the next 10 years

If Duke wins one title in the next 10 years, you've got to kill yourself... I'll take that bet. I would take the under... I'll bet you our lives. You get 10 years because... John Scheyer, we don't know. He's not proven.

As of 2024, Duke has not won a national championship since the bet was made (2022).

Coach K's legacy is completely tarnished because he lost his final game to UNC

Coach K is dead... He died as he lived, a loser. Calling Coach K a loser legacy, he's completely tarnished... He is deceased. His legacy is tarnished forever. It can't get worse than what happened.

The loss to UNC in the Final Four is widely considered one of the most significant losses in college basketball history, though his overall legacy remains historically great.

Kansas will defeat UNC in the National Championship game

I'm going to predict it... I think Kansas is actually going to win. I'm going to bet on Kansas in the Natty, because I do feel like the UNC Duke game was UNC's national title... I feel like it was so much emotion that got spent in that game.

Kansas defeated UNC 72-69 on April 4, 2022, to win the national championship.

Caleb Love is an awesome player with no fear of the big moment

I love Caleb Love. He's awesome... He has no, it doesn't give a fuck... the moment wasn't too big for him. Cause he doesn't care. He just wants to fucking shoot no matter what the circumstances are.

Caleb Love was a key player for UNC's run and famously hit the late three-pointer to seal the game against Duke.

North Carolina's inclusion in the tournament is the most egregious committee decision ever

I thought North Carolina, at no point in the season did they look like an NCAA tournament team. They, they, yeah. They, their, their, their highs weren't very high. Their lows were pretty damn low. And I was, I was stunned. I was, in all the years of, you know, that's how the bracket works. It comes out, we, we lose our minds about teams that got in that didn't deserve it. We, we feel bad for the teams that were left out. This is the most egregious example that I've ever seen.

Whether UNC 'deserved' to be in is subjective, but Titus's claim that they didn't look like a tournament team is a strong opinion on their 2024-25 performance.

The 2025 National Champion will be a 1 or 2 seed

I think the national champion is in that group [of 11 teams meeting KenPom criteria]... I have a really good feeling that it was gonna be a one or a two. 'Cause if you watched all season, it just felt like these teams are just way better than everybody else. I feel that way this year for the first time since 2015. I have that same feeling again.

Florida, the #1 seed, won the 2025 NCAA Championship. In fact, all four #1 seeds made the Final Four, only the second time that has happened.

Michigan State will make the Final Four as a quintessential Tom Izzo team

I settled a, so I have Michigan State going to the final four because I think Auburn's gonna get tripped up somewhere... I do think Michigan State's gonna go to the final four. I think I settled on, they are on a, a typical Michigan State tournament run, but it just started in November.

Michigan State lost to Auburn 70-64 in the Elite Eight and did not make the Final Four.
