Tom Izzo needs to win a second national championship to enter the 'rarefied air' of the greatest coaches

I do think we probably underrate him... he has to get that second title to like get into that rarefied air. Because second titles is really where... it just, you look at the list of guys who won one title, there's a lot of guys. Then you get to second and it's a laundry list of the best coaches in the game.

Legacy status is a subjective debate, though title count is a standard metric used for comparison.

University of Virginia is the biggest winner of the weekend despite not playing

Biggest winner of the weekend... University of Virginia. Big time dodged bullet because not only did their loss against Furman not, it wasn't even close to being the biggest upset of the tournament so far. But also they're no longer the only 16 seed to go down to a one seed [after Purdue lost to FDU].

Correct in the sense that the FDU/Purdue story became the primary historical narrative of the tournament, taking the heat off UVA.

Purdue has officially reached rock bottom because there are no 17 seeds to lose to

Purdue now 2021, they lost to a 13 seed... 2022, they lost to a 15 seed... 2023, they lost to a 16 seed... Good news for Purdue. There are no 17 seeds. So it feels like we've reached the bottom.

Logically correct as there is no 17th seed in the current NCAA bracket format.

Without Zach Edey, Purdue wouldn't have even made the NIT

My takeaway was that Zach Edey, without Zach Edey Purdue would not have made the tournament. They probably wouldn't have even made the NIT. Zach Edey was the only one doing anything.

Subjective opinion on team quality without their best player.

Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC

Paddy the Baddy was electric. Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC.

Paddy Pimblett has become a massive fan favorite and major draw, though he hasn't reached McGregor-level championship status yet. The take is largely validated by his popularity.

I bet LeBron James will announce his next team on Thursday using a golf ball gender reveal format

I think it's going to be like a gender reveal, but with a golf ball. And he's gonna hit the golf ball and it's gonna be the Cavs colors... Burgundy. Do it, do it Thursday. LeBron.

LeBron did not use a golf ball gender reveal to announce a team move in 2026.

Andy Reid on a horse is a massive Mount Rushmore miss

Andy Reid should have been a pick. The more, just think about it, the more Andy Reid on a horse... that is so fucking funny.

Subjective humor.
