There are only six true blue bloods in college basketball: Kentucky, UNC, Indiana, Duke, UCLA, and Kansas

I googled Blue Bloods in college basketball. Historically speaking, there are only six, so it's even more exclusive. Kentucky, UNC, Indiana, Duke, UCLA, and Kansas. [Indiana] are technically blue blood but I think they would probably be first one out.

The definition of a blue blood is inherently subjective and based on historical prestige vs modern success.

Arizona is a college basketball blue blood

Arizona could be a blue blood. I think Arizona is a blue blood. I mean, they won a national championship in the early 2000s... Legendary coach [Lute Olson]?

The concept of 'blue blood' is subjective, but Arizona is generally considered just below the top tier of UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas, UCLA, and Indiana.

No college basketball team will ever win back-to-back national championships again

Back-to-back championships. They'll never be done again. It might, but I don't think it will.

UConn won back-to-back national championships in 2023 and 2024, proving this take definitively incorrect.

Michigan is good enough to beat Baylor or Gonzaga this season

I feel like in yesterday's game, that was the first time in months that somebody's been like, showed up on a national stage, and you're like, that team can beat Baylor. That team can beat Gonzaga. Michigan, yeah. I feel like we need to include them in that conversation.

Michigan was a top-tier team but did not ultimately face or beat the unbeatens, losing to UCLA in the Elite Eight. Baylor beat Gonzaga in the title game.

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.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
