people act like the 1 seeds just cruised their way here. Florida was in a dogfight with UConn, had to comeback to beat Texas Tech. Houston escaped Gonzaga, had a game winner vs Purdue. Auburn had tough games too. all #1 seeds were KenPom top 10 teams all time since 2001 going into the tournament. that means this is gonna be an all time final four. don’t watch, ratings will be just fine.

Duke and Florida would be electrifying national championship game.

Duke look the best but Houston worrys me. One because they play defense the whole game and they haven't forgotten the lost we gave them last year when Shead got hurt.

[Jayoplantern]

Seth Greenberg hates Duke and his bias is showing. Auburn has not looked like the best team in over a month

[kevy]

Knueppel stepped up when coop didnt have an explosive game, he needs more credit!

[skylee]

Fun to see if Duke vs Florida for the championship.

[gabrielcastillo]

The best conference in college basketball history?? The SEC?? Dude is crazy for that take

[mikevezzo]

This man just said Houston defense is so good he rooting against them sound crazy

[calebalessi]

Overlooking Houston, no team can prepare for how that defense is playing rn.

[mrsain]

its only the 2nd time in history that all 1 seeds have made it to the Final Four. Its not a bad thing. When it begins to happen more and more often, then it may start looking like the CFP. Until then, this is not an issue and is good for the game. 2 very good games should be on the way.

[Hexagoniccube]

He doesn’t want to see Houston because they could potentially be too good? Sheesh Stephen.

[vickmcfadden]

Everyone picked Duke everyone was wrong

[SlikMayo]

Coach hates Dukes because he could never beat them 😂

[cletakeover]

8:27 Lmao.. seth trying to talk but molly cutting him off his whole speech.. classic first take

[ijeomaemeka]

Stephen A ain’t watching the games lol.

[PhuccjooMann]

Cougars nor Rockets getting the respect they deserve. Let’s go Houston!

[derrickrobbins]

Duke already beat Auburn. Duke has gotten better since then.

[romethechampion]

SA you were just on the record a few days ago for believing Florida was the team to beat.

[Jayoplantern]

Duke has been the best team in the tournament and have the most talent on both sides

[cryptominno]

This Duke team is one of the best teams in college basketball history
