Billy Donovan is the primary target for the North Carolina head coaching opening

The longer this goes, the more you have to think about Billy Donovan. Because it feels like in Chicago, what direction are the Bulls going in? Nowhere... what would it do to college basketball if you walk into Chapel Hill and now you are playing Jon Scheyer? I am on the Donovan hype train. If you're a Carolina donor, you're just gonna be like, we are a basketball school and we just hired a guy who literally has an NCAA tournament win percentage of 85%.

The outcome depends on who North Carolina eventually hires.

The Chainsmokers look more like podcasters than a successful EDM group

I say that the Chainsmokers, they look the most like a podcast of any massively successful EDM group. Two white guys. Yeah. Listen, I'm saying that as a podcaster.

This is an aesthetic opinion that cannot be objectively proven true or false.

Elliot Cadeau was missing shots on purpose to pass to Terrace Reed and Axel Lindeberg

That was all part of the game plan that Elliot Cadeau was essentially missing shots on purpose to like missing high on the backboard because [Terrace Reed] was able to clean it up. And that was part of their game plan against Arizona, knowing Arizona has all these big guys. That the second shot was there a lot and you watch it back and you're like, oh yeah, he did do that a few times where it was almost a direct pass to [Reed] off the top of the backboard.

While Dusty May did use high-shot strategies, it's rare to intentionally miss; this is likely an exaggeration of an actual offensive rebounding strategy.

The 2026 Michigan Wolverines team is not losing to anyone in the National Championship

Being there, I mean... what we saw on Saturday night, that Michigan team's not losing to anyone. How are they underdogs? They're not losing to a single team.

In the context of the transcript's timeline, the outcome of the title game against UConn is the deciding factor.

Michigan wins 8 out of 10 against UConn, but Monday night might be one of the two

If Michigan and Connecticut play 10 times, I think Michigan wins the game eight out of the 10 times. The question on Monday night is, is tomorrow one of the two? And I think Hurley's good for one of those. And the other is Michigan has a horrid shooting night.

Michigan won the 2026 National Championship, consistent with Fanta's assessment that Michigan was the superior team.

Dusty May will be an NBA head coach within the next 10 years

He's a mastermind. He's got great demeanor for it. He's got a really, really good way about him — his whole philosophy fits the NBA. I do think 10 years from now, Dusty May's gonna be an NBA head coach.

This is a long-range prediction (10 years) that hasn't resolved yet.

Ben McCollum will be the Iowa head coach for years to come — he's not going anywhere

Anybody who says right now that Ben McCollum is gonna move on — Ben McCollum's an Iowa City guy. I think he's gonna be the Iowa head coach for years to come. He's not gonna jump seat route.

Pending — McCollum's tenure at Iowa is ongoing and long-term outcome not yet known.
