You cannot win in the NCAA tournament with bad guard play, regardless of your center

You cannot win if you got a great center and you got bad guard [play]. You got to have really good guards. If you don't have good guards, it's hard to win a game, let alone in the NCAA tournament.

The 2022 champion Kansas was led by strong guard/wing play (Agbagi), supporting this general tournament axiom.

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.

Any SEC team that finished .500 or better in the league deserves a tournament bid

any team in our league that finished 500 or better deserves to be in the tournament. I've been in the big 12. If our resume was on the board in the big 12, we would be right in the middle of the whole thing.

This is subjective but South Carolina (9-9 in SEC) was ultimately left out of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
