00:00All right. Let's go to a big matchup tonight in Charlotte.

00:06The Jumpman Classic with one of the five remaining undefeated

00:10division one men's basketball teams on the stage tonight.

00:15Welcoming in the in-state team in North Carolina. John

00:19Florida. Now, number seven in the country in the AP poll

00:22released yesterday. The Gators, a perfect ten and oh this year

00:27and a three and a half point favorite against the UNC team

00:31that already has four losses to its credit this season. Let's

00:34start with the game itself. How competitive do you expect

00:37tonight's tilt to be in Charlotte? Well, really

00:40competitive because it's a matchup of elite perimeters. I

00:44think, you know, Florida is the least appreciated team in

00:46college basketball right now and Walter Clayton Junior,

00:50Florida's star guard, is the least appreciated player in

00:53college basketball. He's having an all-American type season,

00:56but the troika that Todd Golden possesses on the perimeter,

00:59Walter Clayton Junior, Elijah Martin, a transfer from Florida

01:03Atlantic, and Will Richard might be the most underrated

01:06perimeter in the sport and then you look on the other side, you

01:09have a North Carolina team whose strength is clearly on the

01:12perimeter with Elliot Cadeau, RJ Davis, Seth Trimble, Ian

01:16Jackson, and Drake Powell. So, I expect this to be a high

01:19scoring affair, a very aesthetically pleasing game on

01:22deck tonight in Charlotte.
