Trey McKenney will be an NBA player

McKenney is a kid we're gonna see playing the NBA. That's really not much of a comedown when you think of it. He's one of those superstars.

This is a draft prediction for a high-level prospect.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Villanova is 100% in the tournament and has a 0% chance of reaching the Sweet 16

Nova's just gonna be the team. They're gonna get in and then everyone's gonna be like, oh yeah, this team's losing first round. Yes, they'll probably drop a drop to the 8-9 [seed], which sucks because then there's a 0% chance that Villanova gets to the Sweet 16.

The tournament field had not been announced at the time of the take.

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

Duke's Cameron Boozer is comparable to Cooper Flagg because of his innate ability to read the game

Cameron, the bigger of the two [twins]... I like to compare him to Cooper Flagg because he never forces the game to come to him. He just has that innate ability to read and it's time to post up, it's time to cut, it's time to make a three.

The comparison is a matter of expert basketball scouting opinion.

Houston will win the NCAA National Championship

I know they've had a couple of bumps on the road. I'm not giving up on Houston. You really gotta be a good offensive team to score against Houston. I just don't, I know they bring toughness every day. They're on the floor much less during games.

The 2026 NCAA tournament had not yet happened.

Florida is my primary sleeper team to watch in the NCAA Tournament

A team that intrigues me is Florida. They intrigue me because they got size, speed shooters, guys. Golden's a hell of a coach. He did a great job at San Francisco.

Florida won the entire 2025 NCAA Tournament, defeating Houston 65-63 in the championship game. Walter Clayton Jr. was named MOP. Florida was a #1 seed and lived up to the hype and beyond.
