When you look at the amazing job that Yale has done, only lost one game this year in the Ivy League. When you think about Yale and you think about the dynamic right now for this team that, again, is going into the NCAA tournament as a trendy, trendy upset pick potentially. Yale is in a scenario, okay, where it lost Danny Wolfe to Michigan and it lost Matt Noling to USC.

Yale is in a scenario, okay, where it lost Danny Wolfe to Michigan and it lost Matt Noling to USC.

And it is still in the scenario that it's in right now where it made the NCAA tournament. That is a credit to the head coach. A couple of names you want to keep your eye out for. for Yale right now as you're getting ready to think about the NCAA tournament against Texas A&M. Nick Townsend, obviously a very, very burly forward inside. He's going to have to hold his own on the glass.

And then John Poulakidis, a dynamite, dynamite lefty shooter, can come off screens. He had 25 against Cornell in the title game. And also Bez Embang, along with Casey Simmons. Cat, you might remember from the Big Ten, started his career at Northwestern before he transferred to New Haven.

Yeah, no, I think PFT, what it does is it reiterates to me that we don't have a dominant team this year in college basketball. And what I mean by that is. Last year, UConn was so removed from the pack because it was a two-year run that we may never see again in our lifetimes in terms of the level of dominance. 12 NCAA tournament wins by an average of 21.7 points per game.

But we do not have a team this year like UConn. We do not have a figure this year like Zach Eady at Purdue last year, the only player since Ralph Sampson in the 1980s to win, obviously, National Player of the Year awards in back-to-back seasons. So I think Auburn's a little bit vulnerable right now.

I do think it's a big advantage for the Tigers to be playing in Atlanta, which isn't that far from the Auburn campus, potentially in the Sweet 16. But if Louisville does beat Creighton, in the first round, Auburn will have a pseudo-road game there at Rupp Arena, which is something to monitor.

This is the region of prestige because four coaches in this region, Dan Hurley, Rick Pitino, John Calipari, and Bill Selp have won national titles. Also, Florida, the one seed in this region, has won multiple national titles in the last 20 years. So there's brand name power in this region. I got Florida over Norfolk State. I got UConn over Oklahoma, both coaches in that game.
