The NCAA rigged the Duke vs. Michigan State game for Coach K

I think the fix was in. NCAA rigged. I think that Tom Izzo and Coach K... Coach K has three friends, one the sports information director at Duke that keeps all of the bodies buried in the right locations... Jim Boeheim... and Tom Izzo. They're like the Big Three.

While Duke won, there is no evidence of a rigging conspiracy involving Tom Izzo.

Wisconsin's loss to Iowa State wasn't heartbreaking because they were a flawed team

Wisconsin was obviously, I don't think that they were going to win it all this year. They were a flawed team... it's not the most heartbreaking... because I knew I was realistic about this team. I knew they weren't like that crazy talented.

Subjective opinion on his own feelings as a fan.

I want North Carolina to beat Duke in the Final Four

I want UNC to beat Duke in the Final Four... I'm just rooting for the most hilarious way possible for [Coach K] to get bounced.

This exact scenario happened: UNC beat Duke in the Final Four in Coach K's final game.

Purdue is on the doorstep of a Final Four with a clear path through St. Peter's

On paper you have to think you have a Jaden Ivey, who's a lottery pick. You have two guys in Williamson and Edey who were fucking monsters. You'd have to think Purdue 12-point favorites to get to the Elite Eight to be on the doorstep of a Final Four.

This take turned out spectacularly wrong as St. Peter's upset Purdue in the Sweet 16 to become the first 15-seed in the Elite Eight.

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.
