This has never applied to basketball. This originated in football and that’s where it still applies. Offense in college basketball wins championships. Go look at the last 20 champions… only a few had a slightly better defensive efficiency over their offensive efficiency. 90% of champions had better offense.
Andy says offense> defense when it comes to Iowa state Illinois. But takes defense > offense when it comes to Duke Houston smh. #GoBlueDevils
Does Andy use NET in his decision making?
San Diego State has nothing to lose, and everything, EVERYTHING to gain. It would be the most delicious road victory in the history of the tournament.
Hi Andy, why are you a bigger Illinois fan than Wisconsin fan even though you went to Wisconsin
When az won in 97 they beat 3 #1 seeds, and they could do this year

Purdue 💯
I'm doing better than I've ever done on my bracket. 13 out of 16 of the Sweet 16 are still active; 7 of my elite 8 and 3 of my final 4 teams and both my championship game picks are all still in it. In the 95 percentile on ESPN. Only issue is Baylor; picked them to go to final 4 so that will hurt me.
Ziegler played 28 mins in 1st Purdue game.
Houston all the way..nba coach and a tough defense that will shine.
Its gonna be NC State vs Duke in the elite 8.

Andy, what you are saying is, the performance in games played on court is less an important gauge of the strength of a conference than a bunch of so called experts sitting in a room, the ACC Conference just proves you wrong!
So you’re basically picking every single favorite to win and move onto the next round. You could’ve just said that at the beginning of the video lol

I was looking for this comment lol, watched this video to get an idea of what games might be worth watching and learned nothing. What was the point of this?
If the Aztecs can repeat "IF" the shooting performance they had against Yale they definitely have a chance. SDSU made 13 three's..48% from 3 and 52% shooting overall scoring 85 points ..do I expect them to win properly not but Jaedon Ledee is a monster he should get you 25-30 if the role players play like they did against Yale it should be a good game.

Remember this fact you played YALE!!! Ivy League… bush league… UConn’s defense is ridiculous
Everyone seems to agree that it's difficult to judge teams based on their conference records. Why don't they just get rid of the conference tournaments (auto bids to the regular season champs) and either expand the NCAA tournament field or at least increase the number of play-in games? Let's see more of the top teams from the different conferences battle at the end of season when it matters.

@@brenttuttle7268 Yeah, would love to see more balanced non-conference scheduling throughout the year but there seem to be complex roadblocks on that front. I also think a lot of casual fans and media aren't really paying attention until the end of the year. The NCAA tournament is such an exciting sporting events - so lean in and make it bigger/better - growing the tournament/play-in field would help resolve the conference/bubble team debate and also generate more interest/$, which always helps. :)
i like how the pundits (katz, parrish etc)beat up on teams and conferences and then proven wrong they get upset when called out by regular fans
SDSU is a better offensive team than last year and 9th ranked defense by Kenpom. If they shoot 45%+ like they did on Sunday, this is a win they could pull off.
@erikhancock3186
Ай бұрын
The difference is they had the opportunity to shoot 45% against Yale. It is going to be hard to just get a shot off against UConn.
“And that’s what I had !” Keep saying that like they are some ground breaking picks. Very few brackets aren’t still in tact. Tho you had UK Final Four right so you’re doing worst than most 😂
Because his bracket which was all chalk was so great 😅
Idk how you can say judge a team individually but by who they played to lol. If they play a team in a bad conference its the conference. Not the team
Mr Andy I followed lot of your suggestions for the tournament and my bracket is in the toilet
Houston will be in the final 4 and may win it all.
Illinois in the East for me but not a gimme!
Purdue vs the world
I'm a Tennessee fan but Creighton is very concerning they should have less turnovers and don't foul much - love the match up - all 8 games are really intriguing other than SDSU that would be an all time stunner to me if they win

Andy not too smart here. Says a team quality is partly judged on "who they play" but then says conference doesn't matter. Doesn't the conference determine who they play? LOL. To disprove him, all you have to do is take a team and put them in an inferior conference, let them get used to it, then throw them in the harsh competition of the NCAA tournament. For example, let Clemson crush every team in a women's basketball conference all season long, get used to that level of competition, then throw them in the men's NCAA tournament and see what happens LOL. Andy off his rocker.
I could be a college basketball expert, just pick the top seed every time lol

Andy Katz clearly didn't actually watch the last Tennessee and Purdue game, both teams played well but Tennessee defense kept them in it, an their offense had only gotten better bc of guard play and our big men. if you honestly haven't seen the big men at Tennessee, watch them again much improved since Nov of last year but we can reconvene after Tennessee proves you wrong.
