00:00So Miami of Ohio, I got to say this.
00:04They're the worst 31-1 team in the history of the Selection Sunday process.
00:11Look at here, man.
00:13I know I'm kind of conflicted, and I don't like to be conflicted on this.
00:16So UMass takes them down in the MAAC tournament, and now they're 31-1.
00:21I get it.
00:22You won 31 consecutive basketball games.
00:25Do you want to hear this?
00:26You don't have a top-quality 100 win.
00:30So you got 31 tomato cans.
00:33Are they the worst 31-1 team ever to be thought of to go into the NCAA tournament?
00:39Yes.
00:40Remember, two things can be true.
00:42On the other hand, no team with 29 wins, okay, has ever been left out of the tournament.
00:49The debate on whether or not to put them in the tournament, when you look at the 31 stiffs
00:54that they beat, yes.
00:56Is it the worst resume of all time?
01:00No doubt about it.
01:01It is the worst resume of all time.
01:04What does the committee do on Sunday?
01:07Is this an at-large team?
01:09Look, I make this comment all the time about college football.
01:12I think one day we're going to see a three-loss college football national champion because
01:18I do think it matters who you play.
01:20Look, Texas versus James Madison?
01:23Texas versus what?
01:25Tulane?
01:26You got to be kidding me.
01:27Those weren't the best two teams in the country when you were picking the top 12 teams to play
01:32for the national championship?
01:34Absolutely not.
01:35God, I want to see the best teams.
01:36However, what's the NCAA tournament all about?
01:40Cinderella.
01:41What's the one thing that we love the most when it comes to watching the tournament?
01:46Cinderella stories, dude.
01:48The last place that you get Cinderella stories is a place like the NCAA tournament.
01:54We saw Butler go to the national finals two years in a row, a couple years back.
01:59Remember?
02:00Everyone was awesome.
02:01They loved that whole experience.
02:03You love seeing teams get to the final four that shouldn't be there.
02:06And especially with nil and the transfer portal, again, what makes the NCAA so awesome
02:13to watch is the unpredictability that it has for the tournament.
02:17That's what makes that thing a must-watch.
02:19That's why it's the second-best event in all of American sports.
02:23Remember, football is king and college sports is queen, whether it's college basketball
02:29or it's college football.
02:31This is what the NCAA tournament's all about.
02:33A little bit conflicted on it.
02:3531-1, yes, just a boatload of stiffs that they have beaten.
02:40However, make no mistake about it, do they belong in the tournament?
02:44I think Miami of Ohio is everything what the tournament's all about.
