John Calipari leaving for Arkansas is a huge win for Kentucky

I think it's actually a huge win for Kentucky. Kentucky fans like they wanted him gone two weeks ago. Not only that, but it's a huge win for Kentucky for a couple things. One, you don't have to pay him any money... two, all the boosters that had turned on Cal are gonna be all the way back in... and three... Kentucky is 1 billion times bigger than Coach Cal.

The immediate reaction from Kentucky fans and the subsequent hire of Mark Pope (though not a 'home run' name) confirmed the fan base was ready to move on. Kentucky avoided the $33 million buyout.

I personally guarantee Kentucky will win a national title before Arkansas

I'll do my what's the Cavs owners name? Dan Gilbert. Sense. Personally guarantee it. Right. Personally guarantee... I just think Kentucky will be good. I think they'll be, they'll be fine immediately.

This is a long-term prediction. Both programs are currently in a transition period under new coaching.

Are we sure Caitlin Clark is actually good. Ooh Bust can't win the can't win the big one.

There are 10 to 12 teams with a legitimate chance to win the national title

I really think 10 to 12. ... I don't think it's [the top of the country] ever been better and I don't think it's ever been deeper. ... Michigan can win it all. Duke can win it all. Arizona can certainly win it all. Houston... Texas Tech... Purdue... UConn.

In March Madness, several teams usually have a realistic shot.

The Big 10 will snap its 26-year national championship drought this year

This is the year for the Big 10. I know the Big 12 stacked. But if the Big Ten's gonna snap this drought of 26 long years without national championship, if Michigan plays their A game guys, they're gonna be no worse than in Indianapolis. ... The Big 10 [is where the champion comes from].

Outcome of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

Austin Peay is a dangerous Cinderella team that could pull an upset in the NCAA tournament

Austin Peay could pull something off in the big dance. ... I would say don't fall asleep when the Ivy League champion gets a 13 seed... But Austin Peay could pull something off.

Depends on Austin Peay making the tourney and winning a game.
