Michigan is good enough to beat Baylor or Gonzaga this season

I feel like in yesterday's game, that was the first time in months that somebody's been like, showed up on a national stage, and you're like, that team can beat Baylor. That team can beat Gonzaga. Michigan, yeah. I feel like we need to include them in that conversation.

Michigan was a top-tier team but did not ultimately face or beat the unbeatens, losing to UCLA in the Elite Eight. Baylor beat Gonzaga in the title game.

Arizona is a college basketball blue blood

Arizona could be a blue blood. I think Arizona is a blue blood. I mean, they won a national championship in the early 2000s... Legendary coach [Lute Olson]?

The concept of 'blue blood' is subjective, but Arizona is generally considered just below the top tier of UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas, UCLA, and Indiana.

No college basketball team will ever win back-to-back national championships again

Back-to-back championships. They'll never be done again. It might, but I don't think it will.

UConn won back-to-back national championships in 2023 and 2024, proving this take definitively incorrect.

There are only six true blue bloods in college basketball: Kentucky, UNC, Indiana, Duke, UCLA, and Kansas

I googled Blue Bloods in college basketball. Historically speaking, there are only six, so it's even more exclusive. Kentucky, UNC, Indiana, Duke, UCLA, and Kansas. [Indiana] are technically blue blood but I think they would probably be first one out.

The definition of a blue blood is inherently subjective and based on historical prestige vs modern success.

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.
