Big CatThe Big 10 will finally win a national title in basketball this year
I'm proud that Purdue's a Big 10 team... because I just, I'm, I've just switched to, this has gotta be the year that the Big 10 wins the national title. I've gone through all the emotions of coping and now I'm just like, hey, good job, Purdue. Just go, go finish it.

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.
Big CatThe 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. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.
Big CatThe Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

View profileBig CatMichigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.
Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.
Big CatMichigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot
They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.
Big CatDanny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane
Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.
