Takes
Wisconsin will probably beat Notre Dame and then lose in a tragic, heartbreaking fashion
They'll probably beat Notre Dame and then maybe... be up by 10 against UNC. And I'm like, oh, man, I cannot believe the Badgers are going back to the Final Four. And then there'll be tragedy and heartbreak. And people will be sending me mean tweets.
Northern Iowa would have won if they played their bench of 'small white guys' who know how to take charges and throw the ball off legs
If they just put their bench in for the end of that game, those guys could at least, I guarantee you, everybody on Northern Iowa's bench could throw a ball off their opponent's leg better than anyone else that was in the game. As a small white guy, that's one thing that I knew how to do really, really well... you put that bench in, you might give up like four or five, six points, but you're not losing that game.
John Calipari is an overrated in-game coach who relies on superior athletes
I think Calipari is actually a little bit overrated as a coach... I think he's obviously the best recruiter in the country. I don't think he's the best in-game coach. He's like one of those guys. He's actually kind of like Roy Williams, who they always have really good athletes. I don't know if they always do the best job coaching those athletes because they just kind of let them go.
The NIT should be renamed the 'Nice Invitational Tournament' because the winner is the 69th best team
I'm supposed to pitch to you guys the idea of calling the NIT the Nice Invitational Tournament because the winner is the 69th best team in the country.
Indiana winning the Big Ten was a nightmare because it saved Tom Crean's job
This was my nightmare as an Indiana fan... now they're probably going to lose to Kentucky in the second round... And then people that like Crean are going to say, Oh, but they lost to the final four Kentucky team... It's a weird position to be in when you're kind of cheering for them to lose. So that way you just fire Tom Crean.
Villanova is a notorious tournament choker
Villanova's the notorious choker where Jay Wright still has like a three-year deal on his contract with CBS, I think, for the second round to call the games from the studio with those guys. So that's it. Villanova opens up and then Arizona can get by Miami, you know, maybe, maybe Arizona can make a push.
Virginia will lose because they lack players who can make late-game shots
I think Virginia is like almost identical to some of the Wisconsin teams... where they don't have guys who can just make shots late in the game when you need... They have the one guy and but everyone else... you need to make shots at the end of the games.
Oregon is the weakest 1-seed but has an easy path thanks to Duke being in their bracket
Oregon's definitely the weakest one seed, but then you've got to look at their bracket. Because they were blessed to have Duke in their bracket, the committee always gives Duke the easy ride. By proxy, Oregon also got the easy ride.
Duke stinks and could easily lose in the first round
And Duke stinks. This could be a year that Duke loses in the first round, which is my favorite year when that happens... No, they have five guys, and only one guy can rebound, and they don't have a bench.
Marshall Plumlee only joined the military to stop people from making fun of him
I don't know if you guys saw, but Plumlee is joining the military after he graduates, which is total bullshit. He's basically saying we can't make fun of him anymore. It's like someone saying they have a disease and you can't make fun of him. I'm pissed that Plumlee took that away from us.
Rick Pitino definitely hired Andre McGee specifically to arrange prostitutes for recruits
Rick Pitino is an egomaniac who runs an entire program, who knows everything that's going on. And then, oh, whoops, he somehow didn't know the time that the prostitutes showed up and started fucking all his recruits. ... He knew in the fact that he was like, Andre McGee, I'm hiring you to make sure all of my recruits get properly fucked.
I'm not betting any over-unders in the NCAA Tournament this year
I've decided that I'm not going to bet any over-unders in the March Madness tournament. I had the realization that I lose all my money just betting overs because that's all I do. I never bet unders.
Every NCAA tournament team besides the 16 seeds is 'dangerous' and can 'make some noise'
The tourney is like I looked at the whole bracket besides the 16 seeds. Every team is dangerous. Every team you don't want to play. Every team can make some noise, which we will get into later. I have a list of all the make some noise teams.
Cincinnati is always a 'dangerous' team because their coach Bob Huggins might stab you
I think danger in general is you want to be the dangerous team... It implies that like they could either beat you in basketball or maybe stab you... Any Bob Huggins team is going to be dangerous.
FGCU (Dunk City) will be a 'dangerous' 16-seed because of their name brand
Dunk City, FGCU, I guarantee you there's going to be some people out there that say, watch out, this team could make some noise because you remember two years ago when they dunked on people. Even though they're going to be a 16 seed, there are going to be people out there that label them as a possible dark horse dangerous team.
Michigan State will be the most-picked non-one seed in Final Fours this year
Michigan State is a non-number one seed that could make some noise. Everyone will pick them in the Final Four now because you don't want to be the guy who goes all number one. So you're like, 'oh, yeah, I didn't go all number ones. I did Michigan State.'
A number one seed only 'makes noise' if they reach the Final Four
If you're a number one seed, you've got to get to the Final Four. I think that would be the only noise that you could make.
Don't bet on teams playing on the road at Under Armour schools
If you're betting on a team on the road at an Under Armour school, don't bet on them because you can't shoot with those balls... Wilson [is] all Wilson [in the tournament], and those are the easiest balls to shoot.
Virginia will win the 2016 National Championship
I think Virginia [is the champion]. They're so tough. I watched them the other night, and obviously they didn't win the ACC championship, but I just think they have a good... they're a team I want to see, either Virginia or Michigan State.
