Alabama, Houston, and Purdue will view this season as a disappointment if they don't reach the Final Four

There are certain programs that have opportunities in front of them that they're not going to have a line like this for a significantly long time. One is Alabama... Another is Houston because Houston has obviously the final four in its home city. And the third would be Purdue. Those are all programs where if they don't make it to Houston to play in a final four, you will feel like the season's a disappointment.

All three #1 seeds failed to reach the Final Four. Purdue lost in the Round of 64, while Alabama and Houston lost in the Sweet 16.

Virginia's 2019 National Title was a fluke

Virginia's upset loss to Furman further proves 2019 national title was a fluke... Do they suck? I don't even think their national title counts anymore.

While they did win the title, their history around it includes being the first #1 seed to lose to a #16, and multiple subsequent losses to double-digit seeds.

If Penn State plays like they did against Texas A&M, nobody can beat them

John Shire's blue sweater is bringing Hank back to being a Duke fan

I think John Shire's sweater is bringing Duke Hank's Duke fandom back... Duke fans are sitting at home looking at that. And they probably flew off the shelves.

Subjective as it relates to Hank's internal fandom and the influence of a sweater.

TCU will beat Ohio State and push Duke in the round of 32

I am taking Jamie Dixon and company [TCU] to beat [Ohio State]. I think they could push Duke. I don't think they'll beat Duke obviously in the round of 32. But... I like TCU to beat Ohio State and pull a little game pressure on Duke.

The tournament has not occurred yet.

UCLA will struggle in the tournament due to their poor rebounding and issues outside the Pacific Time Zone

UCLA has not played well out of the Pacific Time Zone. UCLA... has been such a poor rebounding team and it's at such a hole in the middle that Tarris Reed would be a tough matchup.

Pending — UCLA's first-round game has not been played yet.

The South Region is the 'Region of Pressure'

This is the region of pressure. Now why is this the region of pressure? There's pressure on Florida to win a national championship... pressure on Nebraska to win an NCAA tournament game for the first time ever.

This is a thematic label and cannot be proven right or wrong.
