Gino Auriemma is on the hot seat after UConn's second straight Final Four loss

We need to start asking the question if women's college basketball is bad for UConn because they're 0 for 2 in the last two years. Gino [Auriemma] on the hot seat? I think we should put him there.

Gino Auriemma was never actually on the hot seat and continued to coach UConn to multiple Final Fours after this.

Michigan will lose to Villanova by at least 10 points in the National Championship

Michigan had like a five-minute run in the second half of their game against Loyola where they looked really, really, really good. If they can play that way for the entire game, maybe they'll lose by 10.

Villanova beat Michigan 79-62, a 17-point margin, which makes this prediction correct.

John Beilein was eventually inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022.
