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.

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'
England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway
England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.
The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino
He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'
