Gonzaga is the 2018 Villanova of this tournament

Gonzaga's starting to feel like the 2018 Nova team that beat everyone by double digits and just blitzed everyone. We were at that championship game. They were an absolute wagon. It's starting to feel like that. Because you thought like, oh, Creighton, they hit the three... They didn't hang with them at all.

While Gonzaga reached the final, they were ultimately blown out by Baylor, failing to finish the dominant run like 2018 Villanova did.

The under is the best bet for the remainder of the NCAA Tournament

Unders are back big time, with the exception of this game that's happening right now and then that miracle overtime game with UCLA and Alabama. I think every under hit, right? So it's in the middle of the Oregon-USC game right now... But, yeah, unders are back.

The 2021 tournament was notoriously low-scoring in the later rounds, including the National Championship game which stayed well under the total.

Oregon State is the greatest team of all time

Oregon State, Loyola Chicago. Oregon State is just the greatest team of all time. And I'm going to say that about pretty much every team, just be warned that I don't have a lot in my repertoire right now, but they are the greatest team as of right now.

Oregon State reached the Elite Eight as a 12-seed, an incredible run, though they obviously weren't the greatest team of all time as they lost to Houston in the next game.

Baylor is beatable because they are a streaky shooting team

I'm caught between that they [Baylor] didn't play their best and still won, so they're really good, and they're beatable because they went three for 19 from three, and they were a little bit streaky. Their best players didn't play their A games.

Baylor went on to win the National Championship, proving they were the most dominant team in the field despite any perceived streakiness.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
