00:00 Mike, listen, I don't know how many times I got to say this.

00:06 All right.

00:07 So they play a high post game where they bring the ball down on offense.

00:11 Now all I hear about is how they can't score and that they're never going to win anything

00:15 because they can't score and they can't shoot and all the rest.

00:18 But they play a high post offense where the guard comes down.

00:22 He's looking for a screen.

00:24 They'll either get it and roll or he will get a slip and then it's a bounce pass into

00:30 the high post.

00:31 The high post player turns around and faces the low block and he's got two guys and one

00:38 defender.

00:39 I mean Baylor was playing a 1-3-1.

00:41 It was embarrassing and they turn around and every single time they either lobbed it up

00:46 for a dunk or bounce pass for a dunk to the guy on the wing.

00:50 So they had a guy on the baseline coming in, cutting and dunking or they just had the guy

00:56 at the rim dunking.

00:58 So you know it's funny everyone says they can't score.

01:00 I said well they could sure dunk and you know what they call dunks?

01:04 They call dunks 100%.

01:06 I mean when you go up and throw it down there is no missing bunnies and talking about Houston

01:13 not being able to score when they put 82 on your ass and beat you in overtime in your

01:16 building.

01:17 That's all I need to know.

01:18 And I watched that high post offensive errors with a pick and roll and the bounce passes

01:23 and the lob dunks.

01:24 Who cares if they can't shoot from outside if every other player can dunk.

01:28 And then they have the best defense hands down bar none in America.

01:33 If you put the ball on the deck against Houston they're going to pick your pocket and sleep

01:39 with your girlfriend.

01:40 They are the fastest most aggressive defense in your face up in your body and in your face

01:46 like they're having sex with you playing defense.

01:49 That is the best defense I've seen in college basketball in 20 years.

01:53 Their defense is sickening.

01:55 You cannot dribble or you will lose the ball.

01:59 You'll have 25 turnovers in a game against Houston.
