Sean Miller is very close to owning ESPN after their reporting on him

How close is Sean Miller to owning ESPN? Very close, it sounds like. He's got the keys. He's got a swipe card to the Bristol cafeteria. He's deciding whether to just eat it all or maybe save a little for Bill Polian, who still thinks everything's free.

Hot Take CBB MediumSarcastic

This was a satirical claim about Sean Miller's leverage over ESPN; Miller never actually owned or took over the network.

October is the best sports month, but March is a close second

I think October is probably my favorite month in terms of sports because you have football and baseball playoffs. But March is pretty close because there is nothing like wall-to-wall college basketball and championship week.

Championship week is better than the NCAA Tournament

Hot take championship week might be better than the tournament. Because you actually know the teams, unlike in the March Madness, when you're like, I don't know how these teams are going to match up.

Tom Izzo is on the hot seat if Michigan State doesn't reach the Sweet 16

Final Four or bust, is Tom Izzo on the hot seat? You've got to say, if he gets bounced before the Sweet 16, he's on that hot seat.

Prediction CBB Hot

Michigan State lost in the Second Round to Syracuse. Despite the early exit, Tom Izzo remained the head coach with high job security, making the 'hot seat' claim incorrect.
