UConn didn't play anyone notable during their 2023 championship run

I think they have to face someone better than a three seed. They didn't play anybody the whole tournament. They didn't play the Alabama. Nova beat real teams.

UConn beat 5-seed Saint Mary's, 4-seed Arkansas, 3-seed Gonzaga, 5-seed Miami, and 5-seed San Diego State. While they didn't play a 1 or 2 seed, they beat everyone by 10+ points.

UConn is officially basketball royalty and a blue blood

The Connecticut Huskies are officially basketball royalty. Officially they have hemophilia. Five [titles] in 24 years is insane. They are basketball royalty. Five in 24 years is insane... The only other team to do [titles in four consecutive decades], North Carolina.

UConn's 5th title since 1999 cemented their status as one of the most dominant programs of the modern era.

Villanova should be kicked out of the Blue Bloods to make room for UConn

Welcome to the Blue Blood Club. I think they kick Villanova out, right? And then they move [UConn in].

The definition of a Blue Blood is subjective, though UConn's continued success has made their inclusion consensus.

Dan Hurley is the arrival of the next great era of basketball coaching

Dan Hurley has arrived officially as a coach of the national title. He feels like he's the next era, which I love because Dan Hurley is like a throwback to the next era. He's got that scowl, he's got that anger.

Dan Hurley went on to win back-to-back titles in 2024, confirming he is the dominant coach of the new era.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
