Max Abmas changed his name pronunciation to help his Naismith Award campaign

I think [Abmas] changed the pronunciation of his name to rhyme with Naismith... like Joe Theismann? His name used to be Theisman and he changed his name to Thaman so that he would help a marketing campaign for winning the Heisman trophy.

Abmas has stated the pronunciation has always been 'Ace-mus', though the Naismith rhyme is a funny coincidence.

Paige Bueckers might be my women's basketball GOAT

Paige Bueckers might be my goat. Yeah. We love women more than any other podcast in America.

Highly subjective and early in her career, but she is an all-time great.

UConn will beat Iowa because Gino Auriemma has a better game plan for Caitlin Clark

I actually, I think UConn's gonna beat [Iowa] though, because I think Gino, like, if you watch the second game, Gino had a game plan for Juju Watkins that Kim Mulkey just didn't have for Caitlin.

Iowa beat UConn 71-69 in the Final Four on April 5, 2024.

Quarters are a better format for basketball than halves

I think I like the format of the women's game better. The quarters. I like the quarters. fouls reset... my one knock against the NCAA tournament on the men's side, is that down the stretch... it just turns into a foul fest.

This is a subjective preference for basketball formatting.

England will beat the Netherlands and then lose a heartbreaking match to Argentina

I think England's gonna win this weekend. And then you'll have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all... losing to Argentina at that stage, that would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have.

Specific tournament outcome needs verification based on the actual 2026 bracket results.

Christian Pulisic is clearly not and cannot be the face of US soccer

I'm just sick of relying on him [Pulisic] to be the face of US soccer because it can't be, it's so clear that he's not.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's leadership/status.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.
