Without Zach Edey, Purdue wouldn't have even made the NIT

My takeaway was that Zach Edey, without Zach Edey Purdue would not have made the tournament. They probably wouldn't have even made the NIT. Zach Edey was the only one doing anything.

Subjective opinion on team quality without their best player.

University of Virginia is the biggest winner of the weekend despite not playing

Biggest winner of the weekend... University of Virginia. Big time dodged bullet because not only did their loss against Furman not, it wasn't even close to being the biggest upset of the tournament so far. But also they're no longer the only 16 seed to go down to a one seed [after Purdue lost to FDU].

Correct in the sense that the FDU/Purdue story became the primary historical narrative of the tournament, taking the heat off UVA.

Purdue has officially reached rock bottom because there are no 17 seeds to lose to

Purdue now 2021, they lost to a 13 seed... 2022, they lost to a 15 seed... 2023, they lost to a 16 seed... Good news for Purdue. There are no 17 seeds. So it feels like we've reached the bottom.

Logically correct as there is no 17th seed in the current NCAA bracket format.

Matt Painter should be fired

Get him out. Yeah... fire is at [third]. This is an unforgivable loss. 13 seed. 15 seed. 16 seed. He's the bizarro world Tom Izzo.

Painter was not fired; he remained the coach and actually led Purdue to the National Championship game the following season.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
