They play great defense. Akron was a school that I was excited about. Before the bracket came out, I thought, I'm going to pick Akron to win a game. Arizona's a horrendous matchup. They're just basically better Akron. They play the exact same styles. They have the same philosophies, and Arizona has better players. So I hate that matchup for Akron. So Duke coming out of this region.
Yeah, I like Duke.
I ultimately went Bama, but I think that's going to attract me in a fun game. Yeah, I went a little chalky. I went chalky with the lead eight. And then, yeah, I got Duke over Bama.
They're really, really fucking good, man. Really fucking good.
Yeah, right. I've been a Houston critic a little bit through the years, mostly just because they always look great in the regular season, but for a while they were playing in the American. Now that they've joined the Big 12, they're absolutely dominating the Big 12. They stepped into what was the best conference in college basketball and just fucking own that conference now.
I think this Houston team is as good as any Houston team has been in this stretch as Kelvin Sampson's had. They can score. They have multiple guys who can score. Malik Wilson's a dude that just is a bucket out of nowhere. LJ Cryer's the best scorer. Wilson's the microwave guy.
If you want to be concerned about Houston, but you're worried that you need a guy that can just go get you one, they have an answer for that. They have an answer for three-point shooting. They have great point guard play. They obviously play just phenomenal defense. I really, really, really love Houston. So, yeah, I think Houston finally gets a breakthrough. It makes the Final Four.
They made one in 2021, but I don't count that one.
Which came down to the wire. It was like a minute left. We need to stop here. I think it was tied with a minute left.
And you remember the Kansas game in Allen Fieldhouse. Oh, yeah. When they were dead. Houston and St. John's are the two teams that just will not die. They won't. When the clock hits zero and you think you've beat them, you better make damn sure you've actually beat them. Get the hell out of the arena. Take your win and get out of there.
Because if there is 0.1 second on the clock, they are still alive. I don't know. You can't put away either one of those teams. And I love Houston for that reason.
They're always winning in March. They always go to the 316 at the very least.
Last year, I remember being out on Gonzaga as the calendar turned to March.
really like mid-february i'd say they put it together started playing really really well they go back to the sweet 16 by beating the fuck out of kansas in the second round they brought a lot of those dudes back and i was really high on gonzaga entering the season they opened the season beating the piss out of baylor uh that was that was night one of college basketball season that was like the big game and they won by like 40 i think it was like literally 40 yeah um
But then since then, they've just kind of been uninspiring. They had a big lead on Kentucky and squandered that. In West Coast Conference, they've been just kind of like St. Mary's won the conference.
They don't have a rim protector. They don't play great defense. I think the offense, like the shooting comes and goes, the three-point shooting. They still have dudes that can play. They still have Mark Few who knows how to coach in this tournament. They still have a Nembhardt. I think there is a world where Gonzaga does pull the upset over Houston.
I think that's going to be a great game, but I don't love this Gonzaga team as much as I've loved Gonzaga teams in the past.
All right.
Illinois is, in my estimation, and there's probably a lot of teams you could say this about, but if you were to say this phrase to me, I would think of Illinois immediately. They are the make shots team of the NCAA tournament.
When they're making shots, you're like, who's going to beat these guys? They're the best team ever. When they're not making shots, you're like, this team is dog shit. This team is absolute dog shit.
