I would bet my life that Duke will not win a national championship in the next 10 years

If Duke wins one title in the next 10 years, you've got to kill yourself... I'll take that bet. I would take the under... I'll bet you our lives. You get 10 years because... John Scheyer, we don't know. He's not proven.

As of 2024, Duke has not won a national championship since the bet was made (2022).

Coach K is a hypocrite for claiming the 2022 Duke team was 'double champions'

I watched all of coach K's press conference... I didn't realize this, but coach K was helpfully telling the reporters... this team has actually, they accomplished something very rare in college basketball. They're double champions... He's counting their regular season ACC championship and winning the west region. Western region champions is this. So he threw Mark Williams completely under the bus... [claiming] it's not one player's fault but then bringing it up over and over.

While Duke did win the regular season and the region, calling them 'double champions' in the context of the National Championship is a subjective framing that Big Cat is mocking.

Kansas will defeat UNC in the National Championship game

I'm going to predict it... I think Kansas is actually going to win. I'm going to bet on Kansas in the Natty, because I do feel like the UNC Duke game was UNC's national title... I feel like it was so much emotion that got spent in that game.

Kansas defeated UNC 72-69 on April 4, 2022, to win the national championship.

UNC's win over Duke is the final proof that Roy Williams was a better coach than Coach K over the last 20 years

Tonight's victory over duke is the final feather in the cap for Roy Williams, being a better head coach in the state of North Carolina than Mike Krzyzewski was in the last 20 years.

This is a matter of debate between two legendary coaches, made more poignant by UNC beating Duke in K's final game.

The 2026 NCAA tournament will be chalky for the second consecutive year

Last year I came and I, and I, I made the argument that we're probably gonna get chalk. That's exactly what happened... for the second year in a row, I don't see [Cinderellas] at all... Arizona, Michigan and Duke are, in my estimation, they've been head and shoulders better than everybody else all season. So I I, with that, I feel like it's gonna be kind of chalky.

Pending the completion of the 2026 tournament.

South Florida will beat Louisville in the first round

I like South Florida to beat Louisville. I think Louisville has been a big disappointment this year. I think injuries have, it's a lot of injuries... I like South Florida. I don't know, maybe it's the Bosco effect, but like, he got me watching a lot of South Florida the last few days and, and they play hard.

Pending the USF vs Louisville game outcome.

Arizona will win the 2026 National Championship

I'll just spoiler, I, I picked Arizona to win the national championship. I think what excites me about Arizona is they could beat you in so many different ways... They have shooters, they have multiple shooters... I can't say enough great things about Arizona.

Pending the outcome of the National Championship game.
