00:00I mean, there's a lot of great top 25 games tonight.

00:03A&M in Kentucky, Ole Miss in Bama, Mississippi State in Auburn.

00:07I mean, there's some good games tonight.

00:10Baylor in Arizona.

00:11I know you love college rack as much as I do.

00:13What are you thinking tonight?

00:14And start with that Indiana game.

00:16Yeah, I think that the game that's interesting there

00:20in terms of how it plays out is Sarunas Yakuchonas.

00:25Is he going to play for Illinois?

00:27Because you're going on the road after really struggling

00:31in a home game that should not have been difficult

00:34against Southern California.

00:36Now you're going on the road to play a team

00:38that should be desperate.

00:40Haven't seen a lot of desperation in the Hoosiers,

00:43but I have seen some efficiency at times.

00:45If they're able to beat Illinois,

00:47it would be by far the best opponent

00:49they've defeated this year.

00:51So I don't know exactly what we're going to see

00:55from Indiana or Illinois

00:56because both teams went out on Saturday

00:59in situations where wins were either possible

01:02in Indiana's case at Iowa

01:04or should have been not difficult for Illinois at home

01:11and neither one came close really to winning.

01:14So I don't know what to expect from either.

01:16I mean, if you're asking me

01:18if I would wager on one of those two,

01:21I would not go near that game at all.

01:24It's a very fascinating night in college hoops though

01:27because that Baylor-Arizona game,

01:29Arizona has been absolutely surging,

01:31going on the road and taking West Virginia

01:35and Cincinnati right off the floor

01:37with barely any competition.

01:40It's the Arizona team that we expected to see

01:42at the start of the year

01:43and we didn't see that until January.

01:45And now Baylor started a little slow as well,

01:47but not quite as slow as the Wildcats.

01:50They're a very talented team,

01:52very excited to see how that plays out.

01:55Vijay Edgecombe, a freshman who's really gifted,

01:58I wanna see what he's got,

02:01whether he's starting to make progress

02:03because you look in the mock draft, Scott,

02:05and you see him placed around number five or number six.

02:08He hasn't played like that yet,

02:10but if he does, Baylor's really dangerous.

02:12Yeah, how about Duke?

02:13I watched him play Notre Dame the other day.

02:15Cooper Flagg is unbelievable.

02:17Their defense is fantastic.

02:20They're a Final Four team to me

02:21and I love Auburn.

02:22I've always felt they were the best team in the country.

02:25Well, I think that although I thought Auburn

02:28was the best team,

02:29I wasn't sure whether they were best built

02:32to win the championship.

02:33And Duke is at their best.

02:35Duke is the team that looks more like

02:37what past NCAA champions have looked

02:40in terms of how they're set up.

02:42And now let's see on,

02:43James is starting to play point guard pretty consistently

02:46and is really good defensively against the ball.

02:49They have an established hierarchy in their offense,

02:52where they want the ball to go,

02:54who they want to be the guy, obviously Cooper Flagg.

02:57I'm a little bit worried still about late game situations.

03:01How do they handle it?

03:02They didn't handle them against Kansas or Kentucky,

03:04and now they're not in any

03:06because they're blowing everybody out

03:08and the ACC is so weak.

03:09Scott, are they going to get the challenges

03:11they need to get to refine that element of their game?

03:15That's a little bit worrisome for the Devils.
