Danny Hurley's coaching performance against Florida was elite despite the loss.
Danny Hurley actually coached an awesome game. If you saw Florida play the way that they handled their business, you thought that they were just gonna run UConn outta the gym. The way that UConn took away some of the strengths that Florida had, this was as good a job that Danny Hurley's done coaching.

View episodeNIL and the transfer portal are ruining March Madness upsets.
The biggest culprit that I've seen being blamed is NIL and Transfer Portal. I think that's actually a fair critique because what has happened with a lot of these smaller conference teams is they take a shot on a guy, he's good for a year, and then he gets plucked in the transfer portal. All the Power five schools are basically picking apart all the smaller schools and taking their best players, and then you don't get upsets.
The Big East is for basketball while the SEC is for football
Big East is college basketball. SEC's football... when you're watching SEC basketball fans, you know, you're only thinking in the back of your head... they don't care about this. Like they care about football.
The SEC only has two and a half real basketball schools: Kentucky, Florida, and half of Tennessee.
I do agree with this take that the SEC has two and a half basketball schools that I respect. Kentucky, Florida, and half of Tennessee. None of the other—like Auburn's great, Auburn could win the national title—but I don't respect them as a basketball school. That's football. Tennessee is obviously a clear one, I respect their basketball tradition and they do care, but football still is the king there.

View profileDuke 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.
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.
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.
