A UNC win would prove Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K

If UNC wins, that would be an all-time vindication for Roy Williams, being a better head coach than Coach K... If Roy Williams picked the perfect time to walk away and his hand chosen successor beat Coach K who stuck around for year long, suck Fest... I think that's another feather in the cap for Roy.

UNC did beat Duke in the Final Four, ending Coach K's career, which many fans used to validate Roy's success and succession planning.

Villanova should officially be considered a basketball Blue Blood

If you look at, you mentioned Bluebloods, these are four. I would even say Villanova might be a blue blood... I would take away one drop of blue blood from Kentucky, like Elizabeth Holmes, and I'm giving it to Villanova.

The term Blue Blood is subjective, but Villanova's two titles in three years (2016, 2018) made this a common debate in 2022.

Coach K's farewell tour is already a success because he reached the Final Four

Getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked. I've already admitted some defeat because getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked.

Duke did reach the Final Four, which is objectively a successful deep tournament run for a final season.

If you do not have a strong opinion about Duke basketball, you are not a real sports fan

Duke is binary. If you don't have an opinion about Duke, I don't trust you as a sports fan. Either you love Duke or you hate them. You can't be like, I don't know, I never really had an opinion about Duke.

This is a subjective standard for sports fandom.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
