In this YouTube clip, former NBA player and analyst Draymond Green shares his predictions for the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. He declares Michigan State (the Spartans) as his East bracket champion and ultimate national champion, citing a prior win over Duke as evidence. He also backs Arizona to emerge from the West. For the Midwest, he disparagingly refers to the advancing team as “scum bums,” indicating they have an easy path. In the South, he predicts Florida will defeat Houston, criticizing Houston’s offense. Green concludes with a list of his Final Four: Florida, Michigan State, the unnamed Midwest team, and Arizona, and urges fans to support Michigan State’s championship run with high energy and enthusiasm.
