Tom Izzo is an overrated basketball coach

Yes, and let's not forget it's also the start of Coach [Tom] Izzo's overrated season. We were the first ones on that bandwagon like a year and a half ago, so I'm going to restake my claim on that.

Subjective coaching evaluation; Izzo continued to reach the tournament consistently but did not win another title after 2000.

I am going to love hating Grayson Allen this college basketball season

Grayson Allen is back. Hating Grayson Allen is back. He played all 40 minutes [against Michigan State]. He scored 37 points... and I am going to love hating Grayson Allen this year.

The 2017-18 season was indeed Grayson Allen's senior year and he remained a polarizing figure throughout Duke's run to the Elite Eight.

College basketball point spreads are constantly ruined by excessive fouling at the end of games

In college basketball, they will foul until the end of time, and every single point spread will be ruined. A team could be down four points with 30 seconds left... they will foul until the end of time, and every single point spread will be ruined.

This is a subjective grievance, though widely shared by the betting community.

Blind resume season is going to be tough on Wisconsin's CFP chances

Blind resume season is going to be tough on Wisconsin. That's going to be bad luck. It's going to be like, here are four teams that have beaten three top ten teams, and then there's Wisconsin that has beaten a team ranked number 80.

Wisconsin finished the regular season 12-0 but remained at #4 until losing the Big Ten Title game to Ohio State, which ultimately kept them out of the playoff. The 'blind resume' was indeed their biggest hurdle.

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.
