The Mountain West conference cannot play in March

The only problem with Creighton winning is there are no Mountain West teams left to fade cause they are a quick 0-4 and out of the tournament. I don't know what's up with that conference. They just, for whatever it is, they just cannot play in March.

Historically, the Mountain West has struggled significantly in the NCAA tournament relative to other conferences, though individual teams eventually break the trend (like SDSU in 2023).

I am officially never betting on futures again

I talked like I'm never doing futures again... I'm never doing a future. Again. I was very excited about it [Kentucky] because I never get futures where I get the right price... that goes up in smoke.

Big Cat famously continues to bet on futures (futures bets) constantly in the years following this claim.

Kentucky's blue blood status should be on the hot seat

I actually think that we should not talk about coach Cal being on the hot seat as much as we should just put the status, the blue blood status of Kentucky on the hot seat. What have you done for me lately Kentucky?

Kentucky's struggles continued with early tournament exits in subsequent years, leading many to actually debate their blue blood dominance.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
