Скачать или смотреть The John Ep#74:College Basketball Hot Takes, High Point Is Real, Are Fears & Smith Overrated?

Welcome back to The John: Your Daily Sports Dump, your sports pipeline for bold opinions, smart analysis, and real college basketball talk.

In this episode, I break down my college basketball hot takes for the 2025–26 season, backed by stats, records, and on-court trends.

Topics include:

Why High Point is emerging as a legitimate mid-major threat and potential bracket buster
Whether Jeremy Fears Jr. and Braden Smith are elite college point guards whose games may not fully translate to the NBA
Why Santa Clara could be a bigger March threat than Gonzaga, including notable wins, close losses, and key team metrics

This episode focuses on efficiency, resume-building wins, competitive losses, and the type of basketball that wins in March.

If you enjoy college hoops, March Madness discussions, and honest basketball debate, this episode is for you.
