It's not going to be a surprise if they win this whole thing. But how do you see their bracket right now?

I do a thing, Ryan, where I try and make a list starting on Valentine's Day every year of teams that can win the national title. And this year I had a lot. Like I started with like 14. And this region has the most of any region. I got five. Wisconsin's teeter. And I think Wisconsin got a brutal draw. We could get to that.

But Duke, Arizona, BYU, Wisconsin, Alabama, I believe all can win a national title. So when it comes down to Duke, I'm a Duke fan. This has been as fun a Duke team as I can remember, probably going back to Shire's team because they knew it was their last chance, and that was a group that played for a while. They weren't perfect, but they played together, and Shire was great as the quarterback.

But you get spoiled because of all the pros. And every K team you watched, you just wanted more. You go to the Zion team. He gets hurt. You wanted more out of R.J. Barrett. They lose a brutal game. They don't even get to a Final Four. The Tatum team got absolutely screwed going to have to play South Carolina in Greenville. I just went there. I brought my daughter to the SEC Women's Tournament.

That South Carolina thing in Greenville is an absolute army of fans. But Tatum's one of my favorite guys. Obviously, you see what he's done. But they got a brutal draw. You go back, Okafor wins it when Jones and Justice get it done. So there's been plenty of teams. And then the Bancaro team, I thought overachieved. Because you wanted more all year.

You saw at the beginning of the year they beat Gonzaga in Vegas. He's obviously something that they haven't had with his ball control and shot-making ability. And they get to the Final Four and they get their hearts ripped out by Carolina. But this team, watching them every single game... It's as fun a team as I can remember because of the construction.

I thought Shire did a great job of getting pieces in the portal. James is just a man at the point guard position. And they tried to get Caleb Foster to be the point guard. He was one of the biggest recruits. He can't do it. Can't put the ball in the basket. He's timid around the rim. So James just comes in. He's built like a rock. guards anybody.

Gillis is a kid who I thought was the mainstay Saturday night because they couldn't get a rebound. That was the biggest difference. They were maxed out against Carolina, and Malawak is awesome to watch. He plays so hard. He's amazing in his size, jumping ability, covering space, switching, but they couldn't get a rebound because they were blocking him out.
