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.

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
