Yeah, so I'll stick with St. John's to the Final Four. And like you said, PFT, if I'm right, I just become the guy who believed in St. John's. And I think I need to be part of the national championship celebration.
I'll start with Duke. I believe Duke is the best team in the country. I believe Duke has no weaknesses. I believe Duke has three. There's three things you might be slightly concerned with Duke. They rely heavily on freshmen. It's obviously the health of Cooper Flagg and Malik Brown. Malik Brown's out. Malik Brown's just going to be out.
Just strap it up and let him. But, yeah, Cooper flags ankle. I don't know. It looked pretty bad to me, but I assume he said he wanted to play, apparently, in the ACC championship. He's probably not going to play against the 16. I don't know what they'll do for the second-round game. But then the ACC, that is a –
On a scale of 1 to 10, it's like a 4 or 5 of a concern for me that the ACC was weaker this year. I think it's being a little bit overblown that Duke played nobody. I think Louisville and Clemson are better than people realize. I think Duke did play Auburn and beat them pretty easily.
No. But, yeah, I think they played at Arizona, I think, and just fucking smoked Arizona and Tucson. I mean, they kicked the shit out of Illinois. I know Illinois was pretty down at that point. So I think this idea that Duke hasn't played anybody with a pulse is just wrong. But I will at least admit that they have not played the Floridas and the Bamas.
They haven't played those teams over and over and over. Anyway. I have Duke winning the national championship because I think Duke is, I think Duke is in a position when I was taught, when I was making the, the, the reference to 2015 earlier. And I said, this tournament feels like the 2015 tournament.
I think Duke more than any other one seed feels to me like the, the, the equivalent of that Kentucky team. where, yes, of course they can lose, but I think that they're a little bit better than every other team in this field. So I have Duke coming out of the East, and I have Duke winning the national championship.
And I think Cooper Flagg has had... For some reason, the hype is somehow there, but it's also, I feel like it's not as...
great as it should be for this kid because he is un-fucking-believable he had an insane amount of hype coming in he's delivered on all of it he leads duke in every single category he does everything there is to do on a basketball court well do you know what it is i don't know why i think the hype went down a little because the acc is not good so it's like he wasn't playing uh top 25 matchups week in and week out uh and then he slipped in that game against kentucky
He slipped early in the season, and that was pretty much it.
And his mom likes to talk shit.
Yeah.
PFT, let me ask you this, because Big Cat is compromised, and he can't give a straight answer. I agree. Is it possible? I already said they're going to win it all, by the way. Is it possible for Duke to be likable? No.
Because what I said about UConn's team last year where I said, like, you asked me, am I cheering for their downfall? And I was like, I honestly can't because I enjoy watching them so much. I'm starting to feel that way about this Duke team, and it's very bizarre because I'm not necessarily rooting for them to win. I am. I'll be honest. I'll be transparent.
I want them to get to the Final Four because I think it's great for the sport if they make it there. And we do get the, like, 2015 Kentucky thing where it's like, You have the number one pick and the best player in the country leading this young team, and maybe they fuck it up, maybe they don't. I think that's fascinating.
But yeah, I'm slowly enjoying watching them play, and I don't want them to stop playing. But then also, I don't want Duke to win the national championship. I don't know how to reconcile those two thoughts.
programs have been flipped. Carolina was flopping all over the court trying to draw fouls on Cooper Flagg. Duke is the program that now has all the five stars in the NBA players, and Carolina's got these unheralded guys, and we don't know if they're going to make the NBA or not. And they're just trying to grid out a win.
More shots of Coach K in the crowd maybe. Show him smiling and I'll be like, okay, fuck this guy.
There's, like, a Duke. There's a guy from Duke.
Oh. Yeah, and she's pilled out. Um... Yeah, I mean, I think... What else in this bracket?
