The Wisconsin Badgers are playing well enough to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

I have started to believe in the Wisconsin Badgers who are ranked and their offense is actually awesome and they wap threes... I actually believe that they could make a, a run.

Big Cat said he believed the Wisconsin Badgers could make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Wisconsin earned a 3-seed but lost to BYU in the second round, failing to reach the Sweet 16. Not a deep run.

Adding UConn to the Big 12 would make it the greatest college basketball conference ever

The UConn Huskies are seems like they're trying to get into the Big 12... it also would make the Big 12 the greatest college basketball conference of all time. because it would, now you'd have Kansas, you'd have UConn, you'd have Arizona, like Cincinnati. It'd be just crazy college basketball.

UConn has not joined the Big 12. Conference expansion discussions were paused, and as of February 2026, UConn remains in the Big East. The Big 12 commissioner halted expansion discussions.

The Wisconsin Badgers are going on a miracle run in March

I am all in on the Badgers. They're good... and I'm believing, I'm believing in a miracle March run. I'm usually pretty honest about where my heart is... I'm gonna be unsafe in March. If they keep playing the way they're playing, I'm gonna be emotionally unsafe.

Wisconsin lost in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament to James Madison.

Bob Huggins' legal defense that he never actually resigned from West Virginia is "brilliant" and "ironclad"

Bob Huggins is kind of back. ... He's employing a brilliant legal defense right now. He's claiming that he never actually resigned from WVU... that his wife sent an email saying that he was maybe gonna step down and that they ran with that. ... It sounds pretty ironclad.

OpinionCBBMediumSarcastic
The defense was not successful; Bob Huggins did not return as the coach of West Virginia.

I am going to put $6,000 on a college basketball future chosen by Max and split the winnings with him.

I'm gonna let you [Max] pick a team in college basketball. I'm gonna put six grand on the future and then if it wins, we'll split it. That's a fair deal... And then when we lose that, I get to be mad at him for that. So it's perfect.

Big Cat did not win a split future with Max during the 2023 NCAA tournament.

I can break Vegas with a specific March Madness hedging spreadsheet

I'm thinking I'm going to take all the favorites from the first round and bet all of them to win the whole thing as a future. And then bet the money line on all of the underdogs so that the money lines pays all the future bets.

The strategy does not account for vig or the reality of odds; it is not a viable way to 'break Vegas' and would almost certainly lose money.

Gonzaga talent-wise might be the best NCAA basketball team in 30 years

Talent wise, they might be the best NCAA basketball team that I've seen in the last 30 years.

While talented, Gonzaga lost in the Sweet 16 to Arkansas and did not live up to the 'best in 30 years' billing compared to teams like 2012 Kentucky or 2001 Duke.

Michigan will win the college basketball national championship

I'm pretty sure Gonzaga's a favorite. Fucking Gonzaga. They're never going to win shit. [Big Cat: Who do you have winning all?] Michigan.

Michigan reached the Sweet 16 but did not win the championship; Kansas won the 2022 title.

Duke will opt out of the rest of the college basketball season

I would be shocked if Duke plays the rest of the season. They're going to opt out for sure. They might opt out like halftime when they're down by 20.

Duke played their entire regular season, though they did withdraw from the ACC tournament due to COVID issues later.

This is Tom Izzo's final year coaching at Michigan State

One of my who's backs is, this is Coach Izzo's swan song. I'm just going to say it. This is his final year.

Tom Izzo did not retire and is still the head coach of Michigan State as of 2024.
