00:00I think there's two legitimate games tonight. One of them is Michigan and Wisconsin at the

00:06Cole in Madtown. Wisconsin's laying three. It's on Peacock at nine. And then I think the other

00:12good game, believe it or not, is at Little John with Kentucky ranked fourth going to play seven

00:17and one Clemson at Clemson. Clemson's getting one. It's on ESPN at 930. Those are two juicy

00:25college basketball games. Who do you like? I'm going to go with Kentucky. I think there's a

00:29little bit more battle-tested. We've seen them already play against elite competition in

00:33different venues. I like what Clemson does. I think they're a good team, but they're not a

00:38great team. I was a little bit surprised that this wasn't like three, Scott, even on the road.

00:43This one did catch my eye. So I'll take the Kentucky Wildcats. And you know, it's funny,

00:49Calipari left and everybody, oh my God, they were spinning their wheels, bro, with Calipari. It

00:53wasn't going anywhere, right? They needed an infusion here. And I think Pope is actually

00:57the perfect guy. He played there, did a great job at BYU. Players really like him. They respond

01:04to him. And now I think Kentucky guys will be more about winning an NCAA tournament. Calipari

01:11got into a mode of, you know what? I make kids rich. I'm doing a great job. I'm a great person.

01:16I'm taking these teenagers in tournament and a multimillionaire. They're all having successful

01:20careers and lives in the NBA. And people in Lexington were like, good for you and good for

01:25them. What does that do for us? And where, where, like, where's our banners? Where's our,

01:29where's our final four P or where's our championships? We don't care. You're sending

01:33players that that's almost like a house state. Yeah. Yeah. You got 22 blue chips. You got 15

01:37guys, the NFL draft every year. I don't see one big 10 banner Ryan day here. Right. And I was

01:42sort of same thing in Kentucky. Pope lives and bleeds this stuff, right? He loves Kentucky.

01:47It'll be about winning, not about, oh, you know what? We got to get this kid. And he's the first

01:51round draft pick. It'll be about winning a basketball game. So I like Kentucky and speaking

01:56of winning Scott, Hey, Dustin may doing a great job. Hey, coming over from Florida Atlantic to,

02:01uh, to Ann Arbor. We knew that he would, but it's really coming together quickly. They really

02:06threw this thing together, guys. They got a couple of Michigan guys that stayed. They got the kid,

02:10Danny Wolf, uh, from Yale. It looks like Larry bird. He does. He's seen it.

02:17You're talking about that's funny. He really does though. Like, cause they're always a white guy.

02:25No, no, no. He really looks like Larry bird. He's got the same goofy face and hair. And like,

02:30I swear to God, like if Larry bird was born now, I'm not saying he's Larry bird as a player,

02:34but if he was born now, he'd be like, Dan, man, this is Larry bird, son, Danny Wolf,

02:39Danny Wolf, Yale. Yeah. He's you can shoot too. It's goes about 14 a game.

02:45Uh, but listen, they threw all these guys together and May's doing a great job. I'm telling

02:51you, I think Michigan are going to win a championship in a couple of years, guys.

02:54May's going to get us there. Uh, so tonight though, this Wisconsin, this ain't our granddad

02:59and this ain't our old school. Ryan, uh, Wisconsin Badger basketball team guys. They used to score

03:0550 points in a game. Now they score 50 points at a half. I really liked the over this game,

03:10Scott. I was surprised to see how light it is. It's a real, it's a challenge for Michigan.

03:15Michigan only lost one game this year, guys. They lost the wake forest that wake,

03:19and they lost by two. It was a close one, competitive one. Meanwhile, Wisconsin are

03:24undefeated and Wisconsin are putting some points up on the board. So I really do think this game

03:29is going to go over 150 points. Uh, tonight, as far as listen, I'd like to tell you that Michigan

03:35is the play, but you know how hard it is to win in that building, Scott. So I'm going to go with

03:39you over tonight.
