John Scheyer will be Mike Krzyzewski 2.0 in terms of tenure

I think he's a stud Big Cat. I don't know if you want to hear this or not, but I think he's gonna be Mike Krzyzewski 2.0 in terms of the length. Yeah, no, he is gonna coach there forever and he's gonna win a lot. So coach there for 30 years.

Requires observing Scheyer's career over several decades.

College basketball is a Ponzi scheme

I was gonna say it's college basketball. A Ponzi scheme. Mm. Because the tournament starts. Just wait. Did not Great Matchups round of 32. Gonna be great. Round of 32's not great, just wait. Good. So sweet 16. Sweet 16 happens. Oh, that sucked. But just wait. This is the best Elite eight you've ever seen. The Elite eight sucks. But just wait. The final four, we're kicking the can down the road.

The sentiment of a 'bad' tournament depends on game results; while ratings are up, many games were blowouts.

Houston is the biggest 'Cinderella' of the Final Four

I have Houston one, then I had Florida two... [Houston] because they've never won a national title. They don't have any legacy in basketball outside of Charles Barkley. And obviously what Bruce Pearl's done, I think they would be the second Cinderella. Florida still has, you know, they, they back to back national titles.

It's a matter of semantics regarding what defines a Cinderella when all teams are top seeds.

I hate that I don't hate this current Duke team

I'm basically landed on the fact that I think my hate for Duke is now just the fact that I don't hate this Duke team. Like, do something to make me hate you. Get to a fight. I hate that I don't hate them. You know what the issue is? That's what's making me mad.

Subjective emotional state of a fan regarding a team's likeability.

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.

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.

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.
