00:00And I think that, you know, it's going to, if I look at your bracket, I say Iowa State

00:04and Wisconsin will meet and then the winner of that game will meet Florida for the right

00:09to go to the Final Four.

00:11And that's in the West region.

00:14And in the East, you have Duke, the one, Houston, the two, they're the two best defensive teams

00:19in the country.

00:21I want to see them play for the right to go to the Final Four because I think that would

00:24be a kick-ass game.

00:26Yeah.

00:27First one to 50 wins.

00:28Right?

00:30Yeah.

00:31I mean, Houston's obviously, they've built that program on defense.

00:35So that's their calling card.

00:37That's what they do.

00:38Duke is really great on both ends of the floor.

00:42They can score and they can defend and that's why they win by big numbers all the time because

00:47they're really good on both ends of the floor.

00:49I don't trust Houston's offense as much as I trust their defense, but I trust both ends

00:54of the floor on Duke.

00:55So in that Midwest, you have Bama, one, Tennessee, two, you have Michigan State, the four.

01:01I think Michigan State's, like Purdue and Wisconsin, very tough physical team.

01:06I think they can do some damage in that Midwest region.

01:09Yeah, I agree.

01:11Michigan State, by the way, Purdue's at Michigan State Tuesday this week.

01:16So Purdue's got to be careful they don't turn a two-game losing streak into four because

01:19they have to go to IU after that.

01:22Michigan State got a big win in Illinois and got the record for Tom Izzo by a coach in

01:29the Big Ten.

01:30But yeah, Michigan State is always tough and they've got guys that can score and take over

01:35a game.

01:36But defensively and rebounding, they're always one of the best.

01:40So Jerry's got Texas, BYU, Arkansas against West Virginia, Quinnipiac against Southeast

01:46Missouri, American against Southern in those first four games in Dayton.
