I am done believing in Wisconsin basketball because they always rip my guts out in the tournament

I think the only lesson I've learned is like, I need to just stop believing. Because this has also become a thing where the Badgers haven't been to the Sweet 16 in like nine years... every year that we keep going is another year that I'm just reminded how close I was in 2015. I will never get back there. It just won't happen like every other team.

This is a subjective emotional state and a prediction of future failure for his own team.

High Point is a very, very good basketball team

I actually think that High Point is a very, very good team. It was no fluke. They're a very good team.

In the context of the transcript, High Point has just upset a major power (Wisconsin), validating their quality.

High Point is not a real school; it is a four-year post-high school vacation

High Point isn't a real school. It's vacation. It's vacation use four years of post high school vacation... Students in Madison right now still have another like, solid month and a half of Winter. High Point is going and eating ice cream and in their shorts and flip flops and having steaks.

It is a real accredited university, though it is known for its luxury amenities.

Greg Gard deserves criticism but should not be fired as Wisconsin's head coach

I trust Greg Gard, but yeah, you have to throw some criticism to him... But I do not think he should be fired. And I don't think making an irrational... I think he does a pretty damn good job with everything that he's given.

The decision to keep or fire a coach is subjective/managerial.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the motor of the Knicks offense, not Jalen Brunson

Karl-Anthony Towns... he's the motor for this offense. You've seen his assist numbers go up. He's the most important player on the Knicks offense. It feels like. Not Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson obviously is your closer... But in this series it feels like how Kat goes the Knicks go.

Allowing players to bet on games they play in will destroy sports integrity

There are certain lines where it's like, if you have players who are allowed to bet on games, how can anyone trust what they're seeing? You can't. Like it's why the Jontay Porter and the [Ippei Mizuhara] cases... those are big, big issues. And the NBA comes down super hard on them.

Fans should stop arguing over which sport is better and just enjoy both the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals.

I feel bad for the people who are too proud to enjoy both hockey and basketball at the same time because we are living in blessed days. This series has been absolutely incredible... My point was that more that like the people who do the con, the Jake Marsh of the world who constantly are bitches and can't have like a thought of, Hey, I like both sports, those guys, the little brothers. My point is you don't even have to compare 'em. We don't even have to do a game by game. It's just both are great.
