In this energetic monologue, Draymond Green walks through his predictions for the 2026 conference tournaments of the five major college basketball conferences. He selects Duke to win the ACC, citing star forward Cam Boozer and the injury to Caleb Wilson as key factors. He picks Arizona as the Big 12 champion, describing them as the most complete team despite a few close losses. For the Big Ten, he forecasts Michigan State defeating the "scum bombs" (Michigan) in the final, emphasizing that a team that has already beaten an opponent three times should prevail. He declares UConn's dominance in the Big East, arguing they have no real competition and will win as usual. Finally, he predicts Arkansas will capture the SEC title, highlighting freshman guard Darius Acuff as the conference’s best guard and noting an upset over defending champion Florida. The video blends player highlights, injury updates, and eye‑test assessments to justify each pick.

Chapters

We got the conference tournaments. We're gonna go around each conference of the Big Five conferences, pick the conference tournament winners, and why I think these teams will be the winners. First up, we got the ACC, and I'm taking Duke. They got one of the best players in the country in Cam Boozer, one of the best winners in the country, no doubt. With Caleb Wilson going down, it really helps Duke in the ACC. In the Big 12, the best team in the Big 12 by record and by eye test is none other than Arizona. Arizona. Arizona, I think, is by far the best team in the Big 12. Yes, they've had close games. Yes, they've lost a couple, but I think they're the most complete team in the Big 12. Next up, we got the Big 10. Ultimately, Michigan State will meet the scum bombs in the conference tournament final. And Michigan, you don't beat a great team 3 times in the season. Michigan State will beat those scum bombs. Next up, we'll move to the Big East. There will never be any competition for UConn in the Big East. You need to move UConn to a different conference just for the sake, for the sake of competition. And they'll walk away with the conference tournament championship as they always do. Last but not least of the Big Five, we got the SEC. And the SEC is a tough conference. When it comes time for March, guard play is important. And the best guard in the SEC is a freshman. And his name is Darius Acuff. Arkansas will be the SEC tournament champ. That's how it is going. Arkansas Razorbacks. Yeah. Taking the SEC, upsetting the defending champions Florida. That's how it's going down. Woo!
