UCLA will beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16
I'm going with the Bruins because they're defensively, I think they're in line even without [Jaylen] Clark. And to me, as good as Gonzaga is, I don't trust their back court. And I do trust Tiger Campbell.

View episodeThe St. Louis Cardinals lost America the World Baseball Classic
The St. Louis Cardinals have lost America. I mean, Paul Goldschmidt just hitting into a double play when we had a little rally going... if we're doing the blame, I think I'd start with those guys. Get some hits in some big moments and maybe we can be sitting here bragging about the US being the best in baseball.
The Los Angeles Angels were the biggest losers of the World Baseball Classic

Take $500,000 over a dinner with Jay-Z

Michigan will beat Alabama in the Sweet 16 because Alabama can't defend the interior
I'm gonna go with Dr. Dave Portnoy on this one because Michigan's length - Alabama doesn't turn people over, and Michigan should be able to get to the rim at will against Alabama. Alabama's interior defense is not there. That spells trouble for the Crimson Tide. I think that thing gets put away later this week and I think Dave Portnoy and the Wolverines move on.
