Al Michaels' broadcasting mood is determined by the length of his flight to the stadium

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical
Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards.
