Every team in college basketball currently sucks on the road

I think I wanna kind of say everyone sucks, but that's not a good way to get people into the sport. Everyone sucks on the road. That's the thing... Home court will lie to you.

Statistically, the 2023-24 season saw an unusually high number of top-ranked teams losing on the road to unranked opponents.

John Calipari is on the hot seat because the 'meme' has become the reality

At some point the meme becomes the reality. I don't think they're gonna fire him. He has a lifetime contract... but Kentucky fans are absolutely ready for a change though. Absolutely. If he fucks this up, he's completely lost the magic.

Shortly after the season ended in another first-round loss (to Oakland), Calipari left Kentucky to take the Arkansas job, effectively resolving the hot seat situation.

This Purdue team is legitimately better and more versatile than last year's squad

I think this Purdue team's better than last year. The guard play has first of all their guards are older. Braden Smith last year was like a game manager more and now he's actually a stud. And then Lance Jones, the kid they got in the transfer portal is fucking awesome. I do think that Purdue is going to make a final four.

Purdue successfully made the Final Four and reached the National Championship game in 2024.

The Mountain West has replaced the Atlantic 10 as the 'hipster' basketball league

The Mountain West has kind of become that... It is has become the league that's like if you don't know what game to watch, just throw on a random ass mountain West game. It's what the A-10 used to be.

The Mountain West received six bids in the 2024 tournament, reflecting its increased stature.

My 2024 Final Four is Purdue, Houston, Arizona, and Tennessee

I think Purdue is gonna make the final four. I have to trust Houston. Gimme Arizona... and then I gotta ride with Tennessee. Tennessee, I'll take out Houston and put in Butler. No, I'll take Tennessee.

Only Purdue made the Final Four. Houston and Tennessee made the Sweet 16/Elite 8, while Arizona lost in the Sweet 16.

Dan Hurley is the only coach in college basketball I trust to win a title right now

Who do we trust that's gonna win a national championship this year? Dan Hurley. 'Cause I saw it last year. That's it. That's literally it. These other guys haven't proven they can win.

UConn went on to win the 2024 National Championship.
