The Big 12's dominance by Kansas is driven by their home court advantage, not the quality of the team this year

I don't think Kansas wins the Big 12 every year. I think Kansas fans win the Big 12 every year... Phog Allen Fieldhouse wins the Big 12 for Kansas every year. It's impossible to win in there, and so they go into every Big 12 season knowing that they're getting nine free wins. Their team sucks this year. If they had to play in Baylor's arena every single night, they're not winning the Big 12.

Kansas actually failed to win the Big 12 regular season title in 2019, ending their 14-year streak, which largely validates Titus's claim that this team was different.

I wanted the Patriots to win another Super Bowl now because Tom Brady's window is closing

I would say the Patriots just because Brady's window is closing. So the more he can get in before he retires, the better.

Brady did eventually retire several years later, having won one more ring with Tampa Bay after this.

The Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers is basically done because LaVar Ball is talking again

LeVar comes out of the rock he was under, silent for the last six months, now saying he wants Lonzo to go to Phoenix... that just tells me the trade's been done because LeVar knows he no longer has to worry about LeBron paying him his hush money.

Anthony Davis was eventually traded to the Lakers on June 15, 2019, but not by the February trade deadline Big Cat was referencing.

The Bitcoin exchange CEO who reportedly died with the passwords is not actually dead

There's no way he's dead, right? There hasn't been a good fake death in a while... He is living it high with, he's probably fucking whales with John McAfee in wherever the hell they are.

The death of Gerald Cotten was officially confirmed by doctors in India, though skepticism remains in the crypto community.

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.

The 2025 NCAA Tournament will be very 'chalky' with high seeds dominating

I think this is the year of chalk... I have a really good feeling that it was gonna be a one or a two. Because if you watched all season, it just felt like these teams are just way better than everybody else... I'm very, very confident that your national champion will be a one or two.

The 2025 tournament was historically chalky. All four 1-seeds (Florida, Duke, Auburn, Houston) made the Final Four for only the second time in expanded tournament history. The national champion Florida was a 1-seed, confirming the prediction of a 1 or 2 seed winning it all.
