Purdue has officially reached rock bottom because there are no 17 seeds to lose to

Purdue now 2021, they lost to a 13 seed... 2022, they lost to a 15 seed... 2023, they lost to a 16 seed... Good news for Purdue. There are no 17 seeds. So it feels like we've reached the bottom.

Logically correct as there is no 17th seed in the current NCAA bracket format.

University of Virginia is the biggest winner of the weekend despite not playing

Biggest winner of the weekend... University of Virginia. Big time dodged bullet because not only did their loss against Furman not, it wasn't even close to being the biggest upset... but also they're no longer the only 16 seed to go down to a one seed [because of] Purdue and FDU.

Purdue's loss to FDU effectively superseded UVA's loss to UMBC in the 'most recent embarrassment' category, though UVA still holds the 2018 ignominy.

Without Zach Edey, Purdue wouldn't have even made the NIT

My takeaway was that Zach Edey, without Zach Edey Purdue would not have made the tournament. They probably wouldn't have even made the NIT. Zach Edey was the only one doing anything.

The sentiment is supported by Edey winning National Player of the Year, but impossible to factually prove.

Matt Painter should be fired

Get him out. Yeah. Fire is at third. Do you want me to read again? 13 seed. 15 seed. 16 seed. He's the, he's the bizarro world Tom Izzo.

Painter was not fired and actually led Purdue to the National Championship game the following season (2024).

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

I will not sleep until we find this UNC staffer who punched one of your guys... Let's put a bounty on it. I will offer $5,000. [PFT]: I'll match. [Big Cat]: $10,000 if anyone can find the UNC person who punched a Duke staffer after the game. $10,000 cash. Give us the footage leading to their arrest.

The bounty itself is a factual offer made by the hosts.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
