So Illinois's whole thing is they they are they're doing what Bama they're taking the Bama approach and they're like, we're just going to shoot a bunch of threes and they just simply do not make threes. They're shooting like a little over 30 percent from the three point line, but they are just going to keep jacking them up.
I went to the Ohio State-Illinois game in Champaign, and I sat behind the Ohio State bench, and the thing that stood out to me when the ball gets tipped off, like immediately it was obvious that Illinois is like two or three inches taller at every position. Like Yaka Chonis, he's going to be a lottery pick. He's their point guard.
He's like 6'6", plays like a European, is under control at all times, knows how to find the open man.
uh they got the seven footer uh big z at uh at arkansas his brother is at illinois um they have a bunch of big dudes they're just like yeah they're long and tall and they do nothing with it and they all just like hang out at the three point line and shoot threes and i was like why are they doing this this is so fucking stupid why are they not uh getting inside and taking advantage of their height so that's
That's the report on Illinois. There was one game, I think it was at Oregon, where they were hitting everything, and they looked like the best team in the country. But then against Duke, they lose by 40. They are as volatile as it gets. Flip a coin, and if you're someone that wants to believe in Illinois, flip a coin.
That's as good of an indicator as any as to whether or not they're going to be hitting.
And I can just about guarantee you every single win, just go straight to the three-point shooting. And it's like, oh, they went 11 for 24. They probably won that game. Oh, this game they went four for 26. They probably lost that game. Yeah. That's really all it is with them.
Yeah, Tennessee beat Kentucky twice this year. But, yeah, if that matchup happens, I think that is, yeah, Kentucky. I know that Tennessee already beat them twice, but I think Kentucky is another team that, like, they don't guard anybody. That's what worries me. And they are really injured. Seemingly every guy that's played for them this year has gotten hurt.
But Kentucky's a ton of fun, and they push tempo, and they score a ton of points and have a bunch of guys that can beat you. So I like Kentucky a lot. So you have Houston out of this region? I have Houston out of this region.
Yeah, neither plays defense very well. I think it's it's kind of what I said about the Akron Arizona matchup where it's like you would think that Akron playing against a team that likes to play up tempo is a good thing for them because they play up tempo. I actually see it as the opposite.
It's like the way those teams win is they bring a style to the table that the other team isn't comfortable with. And I think that's what high point Purdue is going to be, is that high point is a – their offense is great, their defense is not. I think Purdue is – you could say the same thing. Like when their offense gets going, they look pretty good, but they're never going to be great defensively.
And I think Braden Smith is just going to control this entire game. This is just going to be a Braden Smith master class of controlling the tempo and everything. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
You got a two?
I didn't mention it when we were talking about the West, but Colorado State, Memphis is going to be a fucking banger. That P.J. Haggerty versus Neat Clifford. Yep. If you don't know anything about Colorado State, they got a dude that nine of the last 12 games has scored 20-plus points.
uh memphis has pj hagerty who is just a fucking bucket like he i don't know i don't know how else to describe the guy he just he's he's incredible scorer that matchup and uh the donovan dent cam jones matchup with marquette new mexico those are the two that i circled as like don't care who wins but goddamn that's gonna be fun basketball it's gonna be fun basketball yeah so lineage play huh lineage play so duke houston
And then I went Michigan State. That's my final four.
Yeah. And then I did Duke over St. John's.
And I think Rick Pitino, who said he put the white suit away for the season. I don't believe him. Oh. I don't believe him. I think if St. John's makes the final four, I think we see it.
I think Arizona wins easily, but it will be fun to watch. I think Arizona will be up 7-10 the whole game.
I might go Thursday afternoon as well.
