Florida is my primary sleeper team to watch in the NCAA Tournament

A team that intrigues me is Florida. They intrigue me because they got size, speed shooters, guys. Golden's a hell of a coach. He did a great job at San Francisco.

Florida won the entire 2025 NCAA Tournament, defeating Houston 65-63 in the championship game. Walter Clayton Jr. was named MOP. Florida was a #1 seed and lived up to the hype and beyond.

Cooper Flagg will likely play in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a Toradol shot

I have a doctor on staff... Dr. Dan... He said that probably out for the ACC tournament. March Madness... probably a Toradol shot, steroid shot. Wrap him up. He could probably go in the second round if needed.

Flagg played in the entire tournament, starting from the first round, and appeared to be physically capable, though Duke lost in the Elite Eight.

Cooper Flagg should go to the NBA this year no matter which team drafts first

Cooper, this is why you gotta go to the NBA. No matter who drafts you, no matter who is in position to the lottery, you're risking injury... If the Wizards get the first lotto pick, don't even think twice. Go to the NBA.

This is a subjective career advice take.

Kansas is a broken team that everyone should bet against in the tournament

Kansas just broken. I they're not gonna be, that's gonna be one of those ones where they're gonna be a five or six and everyone's going to say, oh my God. They're go down goes Kansas. Are we ready to say we, we watched them all year. They weren't good.

Kansas lost to Arkansas 79-72 in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, confirming they were indeed a team to bet against.

Trey McKenney will be an NBA player

McKenney is a kid we're gonna see playing the NBA. That's really not much of a comedown when you think of it. He's one of those superstars.

This is a draft prediction for a high-level prospect.

Duke's Cameron Boozer is comparable to Cooper Flagg because of his innate ability to read the game

Cameron, the bigger of the two [twins]... I like to compare him to Cooper Flagg because he never forces the game to come to him. He just has that innate ability to read and it's time to post up, it's time to cut, it's time to make a three.

The comparison is a matter of expert basketball scouting opinion.

Houston will win the NCAA National Championship

I know they've had a couple of bumps on the road. I'm not giving up on Houston. You really gotta be a good offensive team to score against Houston. I just don't, I know they bring toughness every day. They're on the floor much less during games.

The 2026 NCAA tournament had not yet happened.
