Sean Miller is very close to owning ESPN after their reporting on him

How close is Sean Miller to owning ESPN? Very close, it sounds like. He's got the keys. He's got a swipe card to the Bristol cafeteria. He's deciding whether to just eat it all or maybe save a little for Bill Polian, who still thinks everything's free.

Hot TakeCBBMediumSarcastic
This was a satirical claim about Sean Miller's leverage over ESPN; Miller never actually owned or took over the network.

October is the best sports month, but March is a close second

I think October is probably my favorite month in terms of sports because you have football and baseball playoffs. But March is pretty close because there is nothing like wall-to-wall college basketball and championship week.

Subjective ranking of calendar months based on sports volume.

Championship week is better than the NCAA Tournament

Hot take championship week might be better than the tournament. Because you actually know the teams, unlike in the March Madness, when you're like, I don't know how these teams are going to match up.

Subjective sports preference, but it's a common contrarian view among hardcore college basketball fans and gamblers.

Tom Izzo is on the hot seat if Michigan State doesn't reach the Sweet 16

Final Four or bust, is Tom Izzo on the hot seat? You've got to say, if he gets bounced before the Sweet 16, he's on that hot seat.

Michigan State lost in the Second Round to Syracuse. Despite the early exit, Tom Izzo remained the head coach with high job security, making the 'hot seat' claim incorrect.

Winter is officially over and next week will be golf weather

I think it's the official end of winter. Winter's done. Next week it's gonna be 60. Get the golf shoes out, get the shorts out. We made it another year of winter in Chicago.

This is a short-term weather prediction that would be resolvable within a week of the episode date.

Nebraska will finally get their first NCAA tournament win this year

I do think this is the year Nebraska gets their win. I think they have to. They're gonna be like minus 300 in the first round, minus 400. They gotta win.

Nebraska's first-round game in the 2026 tournament will determine if this is correct.

If Tom Izzo makes this year's Final Four, I will admit I was wrong about him being overrated for the last 10 years.

I think it just feels like it's Izzo. He's gonna go out in the Final Four. He's gonna get there. This is for whether or not he's overrated or not. I will admit that I was wrong. I had 10 years of being wrong about Tom Izzo if they make it to this Final Four.

Michigan State did not make the Final Four in 2026, meaning PFT did not have to retract his take.
