I want to start 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: with the reaction from the Elite eight. So it appears, 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Mike that we had what everyone wants with the general 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: public wants, which is upsets early, a couple cinderellas, and 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: then the clock strikes twelve and we move on to 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: get the top teams here. So what was your quick 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: reaction here, Saint Peter's Miami, those teams stepping aside here 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: on the Elite eight? 28 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess up until the final four, it's 29 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 4: been kind of absolute madness, like March madness implies, and 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: which makes a tournament fun. 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: Right. 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 4: We had my own new Jersey guys that are close 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 4: to my heart, Saint Peter's, which is funny because I 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: kind of live, you know, maybe five to ten minutes 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 4: from Jersey City, so I usually catch maybe two or 36 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: three Saint Peter's games a year live. 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: And I went through a couple of games this year. 38 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: I like to see them play Iwona and the other 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 4: teams in the MAC, and watching them, the last thing 40 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: that came to my mind is is this. 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: Team to be an Elite eight team? 42 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: I didn't think they would even be in the tournament conversation, 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 4: But of course March is about getting hot at the 44 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: right time, and that's what Saint Peter's did, and they 45 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 4: made that magical run to the Elite eight, and you know, 46 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: unfortunately the hot shooting on offense came to an end 47 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: against UNC, and we get a you know, a well 48 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 4: known the UNC targical team in the in the final four. 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 4: And it's kind of funny because you know, all these 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 4: upsets kind of happened throughout the Sweet sixteen to the 51 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 4: Lait eight, but we somehow snuck in these blue blood 52 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 4: programs into the final four that you know, everybody, everybody 53 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 4: sitting at home kind of knows the names of the Nova's, 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: the Kansas of course, Duke In the Coach K's last ride, 55 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: and then and you know, the perfect storybook endings where 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: they get Coach K's revenge spot against UNC, who kind 57 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: of ruined his last night at Cameron Indoors. So so yeah, 58 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 4: it's it's kind of been a it's crazy, but it's 59 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 4: setting up for a perfect ending to a great season here. 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 4: So so yeah, it's nothing to hate from the college 61 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: basketball junkie perspective. It doesn't get much better than this. 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: Oh, it's fantastic and it's funny. Like you said, the 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: tournament has been madness. I feel like with my reads, 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: some of them were on some of them were way off. 65 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: One of them I was way off about was unc 66 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: But we'll get to them. Second. I want to start 67 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: with the first game here, which is going off at 68 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: six point nine on Saturday, Villanova and Kansas. Now, right now, 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: Kansas looks like it's favored by four, four and a 70 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: half depending on where you're getting it over under, pretty 71 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: steady at one thirty three across the board. I guess 72 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: my first question here is how much do you think 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Justin Moore affects this Villanova team. I remember Mike looking back, 74 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: had a question about whether we thought Villanova could make 75 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: the Final four in January, and at the time what 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: I was saying is Villanova has the same profile at 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: that time that the other two national championship teams did 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: with Jay Wright, with the exception of tremendous two point efficiency. 79 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't quite there, but it has come around. They've 80 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: played fantastic but only a six man rotation and now 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: know Justin Moore, So quick reac here, Villanova Kansas. How 82 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: do you see this one going here? First game six 83 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: or nine on Saturday. 84 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the Justin Moore is the injury is tragic 85 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: and it's unfortunate because he's an outstanding player and he's 86 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 4: very important to the roster. I think the line probably 87 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 4: would have been more towards the two, maybe one and 88 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: a half area, if he was actually playing, but unfortunately 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 4: he went down with the Achilles injury. Nova is not 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 4: that deep to start with, but to me, depth is 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: a little overrated in college basketball. I mean, obviously foul 92 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: trouble and injuries death comes into into into play, but 93 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: I mean, these guys are in the best shapes of 94 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 4: their lives. All these guys can play forty minutes if 95 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: that to me is not that big of a deal 96 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 4: death wise for Villanova here, but justin Moore, from a 97 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: talent level, it's a big It's it's an. 98 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: And lost for this team. 99 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 4: So the way kind of Nova kind of stacks up 100 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: against Kansas, and to me, they fit the similar profile, 101 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 4: kind of like the Miami team that Kansas just played. 102 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 4: They're a little more disciplined than Miami and they play 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 4: a little more physical than Miami, but they are very 104 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: perimeter oriented like Miami was. They're very undersized like Miami was. 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 4: They don't really have a true center. Eric Dixon kind 106 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: of sixty. He's kind of undersized, for the center position. 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 4: They pick and roll you to death. Nova is very 108 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: outstanding in their pick and roll. They're ninety seven percent 109 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: tile in the country and pick and roll offense per Synergy, 110 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: and they like to create a lot of mismatches on 111 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 4: the perimeter. And what makes them unique is when they 112 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 4: do create these mismatches, they like to post up their guards. 113 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 4: So you see Justin More not in this game coming up, 114 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: but him Colin Gillespie, Ko Daniels. They kind of try 115 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 4: to bully their opponent down in the post, which is 116 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 4: not really much teams are used to defending, so you 117 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: really need size to defend those god in the post. 118 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 4: And what Nova kind of kills you is when you 119 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: do overhelp. They have shooters everywhere they pass out during 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 4: the three ball. They kind of living by what they 121 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 4: live and die by a three point ball, which makes 122 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 4: them a little bit variant in the tournament setting. But 123 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 4: like you said, this team profile is great as far 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: as having the guards to make a run like we 125 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 4: just saw to the final four on the Kansas side, 126 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: I do think that they do have the size that 127 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: can match up with the with the Nova guards. We 128 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 4: just saw their best defender, Dwan Harris get put on 129 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: Campbell Gusty in the second half when Mugussi at fourteen 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 4: in the first half, where Kansas was, you know, majority 131 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 4: switching throughout the game, but they'll self ended up having 132 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: him chased around Augustin in the second half and limited 133 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: only four points in the second half. And we just 134 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: saw Kansas kind of just destroy Miami in the second half. 135 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: Kansas has a lot more size, especially down low, and 136 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: David McCormack, who could have a big game here against Villanova, 137 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 4: and I just think that there's just too many paths 138 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: to victory for this Kansas team against the shorthanded the 139 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: Villanova team. You have McCormack inside, you have the length 140 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 4: on the wings. And then another thing to mention about 141 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 4: the Nova defense is that they're very switchable and they 142 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: like they're actually ranked fourteenth nationally enforcing isolation situations for 143 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: their opponents. So you really need very good individual scorers. 144 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: And to me, the difference is the emergence of Remy 145 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: Martin on the Kansas side. He can score in bunches 146 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 4: off the bench. Boji can score, Christian bron can score, 147 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: Jalen Wilson's can score. All these guys can score. I 148 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: think they can stop them enough on defense, so I 149 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 4: think Kansas runs away with this late in the game. 150 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 4: The thing that Nova is going to do in this 151 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: game is they're going to really try to slow the 152 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: game down. Make this around like sixty possessions where Kansas 153 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: if Kansas ends up, you know, having Nova dictate the 154 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 4: pace sixty possession game. I think Nova has a chance. 155 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: But if Kansas can get into transition a little bit, 156 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: make this more in the high sixties position, I don't 157 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 4: think Nova can keep up. So I'm going to be 158 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: on the Kansas side minus four and a half. And 159 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 4: I also like a play on the under. 160 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, great points across the board. So many I want 161 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: to talk about. First, the Dewan Harris move was so critical, 162 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought that up because Mike I 163 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: may have had an under on Cam augusty eighteen and 164 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: a half points when he had fourteen. I couldn't believe 165 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: we hit it. I also think that listen, if Justin 166 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: Moore was there, I probably would be on Villanova because 167 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: Jay Wright is just excellent in these situations. But like 168 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 1: you said, it's a critical situation. McCormack is going to 169 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: do things inside. There are so many guards that can attack, 170 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: and the development of Remy Martin is really underrated. He's 171 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: been injured all year. You heard him in the interview 172 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: talk about how he's been down. His teammates had to 173 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: pick him up. But he is a scorer. He can 174 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: get buckets, which you saw with Duke against Michigan State 175 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: and Texas Tech. Those teams couldn't get it late. I 176 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: think Remy Martin Mike saved them against Providence. They were 177 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: in trouble, but Martin kept them in that game. So 178 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: real interesting points across the board. My other question is 179 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: about a Boggie All American. Incredible player, absolutely, but I 180 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: have found that, along with like the Ben maclamore and 181 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: the Wayne Seldens of the past, these leading scorers for 182 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: Kansas sometimes are hesitant to go outside of self system. 183 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's by design or just by 184 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, selfishest they're gonna need him to score. He 185 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: could absolutely really take this game on here, especially like 186 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: you said, against a Villanova team that's going to be shorthanded. Yeah. 187 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 4: I mean, he's a great talent and we've been kind 188 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 4: of waiting for him to explode throughout this whole tournament 189 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 4: and he hasn't yet, So maybe this is the spot 190 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: final four lights are bright. 191 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: Maybe we see a big AGBANGI game. 192 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the under as well, because I do think 193 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: Villanova has to control the pace completely agree there second game. 194 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: Full disclosure, Mike, I've had a little bit of a 195 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: take lock on North Carolina and I have to come around. 196 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: My argument was for Saint Peter's because I saw what 197 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: Saint Peters did. Yes, Kentucky, I understand that, Yes to 198 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: Murray State, but the one that stuck with me was Perdue. 199 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, if they can handle Travion William zach Edy 200 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: and jayde and Ivey's going to be a top five pick, 201 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: why is North Carolina going to be any better? Well, 202 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: the answer was right now, they're scalding hot. They have 203 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: great chemistry, they have great balance, the guards outside bay 204 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: hot inside. So this North Carolina team already has shown 205 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: us that they can beat Duke. We have Duke favored 206 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: by four and a half against UNC. I mean, just 207 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: an apocalyptic game here for Coach k potentially lose to 208 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: his arch rival twice, or is he going to beat 209 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: them and get to the finals here in his final year, 210 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: the total also won fifty one. So where are you 211 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: here on a side eight forty nine? Get your popcorn 212 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: ready on Saturday, Duke Unc as well as the total 213 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: here around one fifty one and a half. 214 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, if you're one of those people who 215 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 4: think sports is fixed, this is literally the perfect example. 216 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: Right. 217 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: You have Coach K's last year. He loses to North 218 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 4: Carolina in his final home game at Cameron Indoor. Everybody 219 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 4: makes a huge deal out of it. But of course, somehow, 220 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 4: some way, you can't make it up. He gets matched 221 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 4: up against North Carolina in the Final four in a 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 4: huge revenge spot. I mean, not even doing any analysis 223 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: on the game, Why don't you just hammer Duke money line, 224 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 4: There's no way that Coach k loses this game, right 225 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: from a fan perspective, that would be the most tragic 226 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: thing I think ever in college basketball history if he does. 227 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 4: But if we do want to, we do want to 228 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: break down the matchup here, and like you mentioned, they 229 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: they played twice this year and they split. Uh, Duke 230 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: kind of gave it to him in the first in 231 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 4: the first game, but it was more due to poor 232 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: shooting by UNC. I was taking a look at the 233 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: shot quality metrics and shot Quality actually had it like 234 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: a fifty to fifty game, which was surprising to me 235 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 4: watching it because I thought Duke kind of manhandle them, 236 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 4: but the metrics don't really back that up. 237 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: What do I know? 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 4: Right, But in the second game, it was close until halftime, 239 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: and then Duke kind of, you know, put their foot 240 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: on the brake defensively, and you and See just had 241 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: their way in the pick and roll. They couldn't guard Baycott, 242 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: they couldn't guard Caleb Love, and you and See kind 243 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 4: of ran away with that. But you know, I watched 244 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: this North Carolina team a lot this season, and I 245 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: had the similar take as you did, is I was 246 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 4: not high on them coming into the tournament at all. 247 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: You know, I thought they had a coin flip game 248 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: against Marquette and then I thought Baylor would absolutely destroy them, 249 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 4: and that did not happen. So I was in the 250 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 4: same boat as you. But you know, you look at 251 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: this UNC team and to me, what's kind of gotten 252 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: them to this point is that they've they've kind of 253 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 4: ramped it up on defense, and you just saw them 254 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 4: really locked down Saint Peter's, who was due for some 255 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: shooting regression because the way Saint Peter's. Saint Peter's honestly 256 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: actually statistically was the best defensive fifteen seed of all time, 257 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 4: I think per Kenpom if I remember correctly, they graded 258 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 4: out maybe twenty seventh or twenty eighth in the country defensively, 259 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: which is insane for a fifteen seed. Not the greatest 260 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: team offensively, they just got hot the right time, so 261 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 4: they finally cooled off. You and C locked them down 262 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: and that game wasn't even close from the start. But 263 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: you know, like I said, un C has kind of 264 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: ramped it up in the tournament defensively, but when I 265 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: look at them throughout the year, they were very undisciplined. 266 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 4: Twenty eighth percent tile percentergy and transition defense thirty fourth 267 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: percent tile and. 268 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: Off ball of all defending. So just very undisciplined. 269 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: And you know, you give coach k Here a week 270 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 4: to prepare for North Carolina against Hubert Davis, who's you know, 271 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: he's done a great job with un seed, but it's 272 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 4: his first year. You know, I'm always gonna side with 273 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 4: coach k Here, especially, you know, you have the narrative 274 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 4: in the background. Duke has much better individual scorers you have, 275 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: and they have the size that can match up with 276 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 4: you and C Baycott underneath who's their you know, their 277 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: go to score. Plus the Baycott likes to crash the glass. 278 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: You he's a great offensive rebounding team. Duke has Mark 279 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 4: Williams and Theo John who can kind of neutralize that. 280 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: I don't know who guards Ben Carro on the UNC side, 281 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: they've both matchup. They switched it up between Mannick and Black. 282 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: Black is a great individual Leaky Black is a great 283 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 4: individual defender, but he doesn't have the size or the 284 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 4: strength to matchup with Fan Caro. And then if you 285 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: put Brady Mannick on him, Manic doesn't have really this 286 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: foot speed to be able to stay with him in 287 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 4: the perimeter or when he faces up in the high post. 288 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: Right. 289 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 4: So, I think what this game comes down to, which 290 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: kind of comes down to any North Carolina game, is 291 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 4: how all the guards play. Because the guards have been 292 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 4: very inconsistent for I mean, Love and Davis has been 293 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 4: in the back or for the last three years or 294 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: two years, and you know, their consistency is a little 295 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: up and down. So it really comes down to how 296 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 4: well they play. And you know, I have a feeling 297 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 4: Duke is going to show a little same defensive scheme 298 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: as they did against Arkansas against Jade Notta's ice, the 299 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 4: ball screens try to get it out of their hands. 300 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 4: They just have to make sure they don't lose Mannick, 301 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 4: who is absolutely sniper when you lose him defensively, and 302 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 4: he's had a great tournament so far. But you know, 303 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: I think they can do a good enough job neutralizing 304 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 4: Baycot down low, neutralizing the guard play. And then the 305 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 4: X factor to me for this Duke team throughout the 306 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: tournament has been the emergence of Jeremy Roach at the 307 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 4: point guard spot. He's kind of lost minutes to AJ 308 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: Griffin and Trevor keer Peels throughout the year, but he's 309 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: been outstanding and really the point guard that Duke's been 310 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 4: looking for all year. Over the last few weeks and 311 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 4: during March, and he's bring their offensive ceiling way hot, 312 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: much higher than it was before this tournament even started. So, 313 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: you know, because of the narrative, the way Duke matches up, 314 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 4: I don't see them losing this game. So I'm even 315 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: gonna lay the points and take Duke four and a half. 316 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: But I do from a total perspective. I do think 317 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 4: that both offenses are going to have a lot of success, 318 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 4: so I'm going to be on the over as well. 319 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: The point about Roach is fantastic. He started in this 320 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: torn and I feel like it was a brilliant move 321 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: by Skrzyzewski and the coaching staff. He has gone thirty five, 322 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty five and thirty five minutes just playing 323 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: massive minutes just to give you an idea. Only hit 324 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: thirty minutes in a one of the prior twelve games 325 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: for Duke. And what he's done Mike, I think has 326 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: put every Jenga piece in the right place. He's had 327 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: five assists two of these games. Getting assistant college basketball folks, 328 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: unless you're Chris Paul Backway farest not easy to do. 329 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: But everyone now is in a role and I think 330 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: that's critical. And you saw the window to close do 331 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: To beat Duke, I believe has closed. You need to 332 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: make shots at the end of games. Michigan State and 333 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: Texas Tech could not do that. What Michigan State did 334 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago to Duke when they had 335 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: Zion and Reddish and all those guys is he They 336 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: were able to get a lead on them so that 337 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: Duke had the pressure. Once Duke took the lead there, 338 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a totally different story. The emergence of 339 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: Roach is great. I like what North Carolina has done. 340 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: I think the Theo john with Mark Williams is very 341 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: underrated because I don't see that North Carolina has that 342 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: same depth. Dawstin Garcia left the team. They have Puff 343 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: Johnson behind him. But Baycott really has to have an 344 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: absolute monster game, which he did, but he's going to 345 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: have to keep it going. You mentioned Mannik who's been 346 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: on fire. He's fifty percent from three point range or 347 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: close to that in the tournament. That absolutely has to continue. 348 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: I want to follow up question on the over under 349 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: because I remember when it was in New Orleans the 350 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: last time all three games went under, but the prior 351 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: time it was in New Orleans, all three games went 352 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: over the final four in the championship game. So talk 353 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about why you like the over in 354 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: this particular situation. 355 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny, and there is a little bit of 356 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: a narrative where you know, as the tournament goes on 357 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 4: and the games get more tight, you know, teams do 358 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 4: play a little tighter and you know, the under is 359 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 4: usually the spot, but I think Vegas fixed that into 360 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 4: the lines a little bit. I think these these numbers 361 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 4: are a little lower than where they should be if 362 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 4: you looked on Ken Pom. But you know, you have Duke, 363 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 4: you and See. You know that the game is going 364 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 4: to be high paced up and down. It was both 365 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 4: times they played. It was high paced up and down. 366 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: You know, I think there's a few spots offensively that 367 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 4: both these teams could have success. If you look at 368 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 4: the second half of the last game, Duke really struggled 369 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 4: in that kind of middle top of the key pick 370 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 4: and roll situation where Mannick would slip and then you 371 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 4: had a short roll from Baycott. You know, I think 372 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 4: Dude's gonna game plan a little better against that. But 373 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 4: just because of the pace, just because of the matchup 374 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 4: problems like Ben Carro and even Jeremy Roach I can 375 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 4: give you and see, I think there's gonna be a lot, 376 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 4: a lot of points, a lot of possessions, and I 377 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 4: will be on the over I know it's a lot 378 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: of points, but I'm still gonna be on the overside. 379 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: And of course I'm with you. I'm with you, Mike 380 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: on both picks. So now we're looking at Kansas and Duke. 381 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean a legendary, legendary matchup on Monday night. If 382 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: that happens and we're right, where are you going in 383 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: that game? 384 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 3: Okay, well I have to caveat pick with that. 385 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: I have a eighteen to one future on Kansas that 386 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 4: I took back in November, So I may be a 387 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: little biased here, but you know, I just think that overall, 388 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 4: top to ballot to bottom talent, Kansas has a little 389 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 4: more talent than this Duke team. From top to bottom. 390 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: They have the size with McCormack. They have kind of 391 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 4: dual point guards with Dwan Harris and Remy Martin. Now 392 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 4: Dwan Harris is an absolute lockdown defender, so if they 393 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: need somebody to follow Roach or whoever it is, they 394 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: have that person. And then they have length on the 395 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 4: wing with kind of a you kind of call a 396 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 4: three headed monster with Christian braun Chia Boggy and Jalen Wilson. 397 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 4: And they're switchable on defense. I think Bill selves just 398 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 4: has so many options that can give any team they play, 399 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: but this Duke team specifically just a complete headache. And 400 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 4: the one thing that Kansas hasn't been able to figure 401 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 4: out all year, And if you go back and look 402 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: at maybe like Bill Selt's postgame interviews, he was always 403 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: talking about their ball screen defense and their discipline on 404 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 4: the defensive end. But if that second half of that 405 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: Miami game, I think they may have found something defensively 406 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 4: that maybe they kind of pieced together and Bill self 407 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 4: maybe figured something out because that was their one weakness 408 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 4: and they absolutely locked down defensively against Miami in the 409 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 4: Elite eight. So if they continue to do that throughout 410 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: these next few games, I think that they should have 411 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: the advantage over this duke team, and I would be 412 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 4: siding with Kansas fantastic. 413 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: It would be a great, great matchup on Monday Night. 414 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: Last question, Mike, then we'll get you out of here 415 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: player props. Of course, we've covered sides, we've covered totals. 416 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm on some unders in this Villanova game against Kansas 417 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: because I do think that Jay Wright is going to 418 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: be able to control pace, try to increase variants here 419 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: in a lower scoring game because he shorthanded a bogie under. 420 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: I think he's at sixteen and a half is what 421 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: I'm looking at. What about what are some props that 422 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: have caught your eye here heading into the final four. 423 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 4: So it's funny you mention that because me and you have 424 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 4: the exact same thought in this game. Yeah, so Baji 425 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 4: was definitely one that I looked at sixteen and a half. 426 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 4: I'm a little afraid because, like we said, there's going 427 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: to be a game where he where he gets really 428 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: hot and hits a couple threes, because we haven't seen 429 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 4: it yet throughout the tournament. But pace wise, I don't 430 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 4: know if this is going to be it. Maybe it's 431 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 4: a championship game against Duke, you know, across your fingers. 432 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 3: And it's not this game. 433 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 4: But I thought that's sixteen and a half, I would 434 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: be on the underside there and then on the Villanova side. 435 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 4: I did notice that Jermaine Samuels points prop went up 436 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 4: a little bit on draft games. It's at fourteen and 437 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: a half. 438 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: Now. 439 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: It's a little scary as well because without Justin Moore, 440 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 4: he's going to be a little more involved as uses, 441 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 4: he's going to go up in the offense. But you know, 442 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 4: this number is probably realistically maybe three, two or three 443 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 4: points too high. Jermaine Samuel Samuels throughout the year. I 444 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: think maybe average twelve points per game. He disappears sometimes 445 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 4: on offense if the game's going to be incredibly slow. 446 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 4: I think that's way too many points for him. So 447 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 4: I like to dream singles under fourteen and a half points. 448 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: Both of them excellent call Samuel's I've I've been hot 449 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: and I've done well financially with Samuel's over, but the 450 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: line has adjusted. I agree with you. It's gonna be 451 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: a fantastic matchup, folks. Mike Couchrie FTN Network, FtM, BETS, FTN, 452 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: Daly All Things FTN great, great college basketball, Mine great 453 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: with picks.
