00:00Here we go tonight. Let's start with the Big East. Of course, semifinal doubleheader at the Garden.

00:06First game, about just after 6.30 East, you'll have Marquette and St. John's.

00:12St. John's minus three and a half. Of course, they beat Marquette both games in the regular season.

00:16One forty four and a half is the total there. And then the night game will have UConn minus three

00:22and a half against Creighton, who needed double overtime to beat DePaul last night.

00:27Yeah, like I like St. John's at the Garden. I just think they're like Marquette could barely.

00:35I mean, I'll give this. They beat Xavier. They had no business beating him, but they beat him.

00:40I just don't think they're that good. I really don't. St. John's already beat him twice. Beat

00:45him at the buzzer. This time they're going to beat their ass at Madison Square Garden.

00:50And that'll be that. And then I like UConn over Creighton. Creighton couldn't even with a seven

00:58foot monster couldn't even handle DePaul. I mean, they beat him with an 11 run and they had no

01:05business winning that game. DePaul kicked their ass up and down the court for what? What did they

01:10play? Double overtime? I mean, double overtime against DePaul. You know, you got a problem.

01:16I think UConn, we already know what they do at Madison Square Garden. We already know who their

01:21coach is. I think UConn goes in tonight and whacks Creighton and sets up a big weekend for the

01:29Huskies in New York as usual. They own the East Coast and they own New York and they own the

01:37Garden. And we'll see if St. John's can beat them. Is that who St. John's will play if they if they

01:43win? Correct. The winners will play tomorrow night for the title game. So I think it'll be St.

01:49John's and UConn. You can see it coming already, Mike. Yep. I think St. John's will beat UConn

01:54tomorrow night, too. I think they'll get them all three times this year. I don't know what that is

01:59going to mean for them in the tournament, but I do think St. John's is going to be the big

02:03piece here over the weekend. All right. ACC semifinals tonight. Of course, Duke will not have

02:11Cooper Flagg. North Carolina comes a-calling, needing the game badly. Duke minus six and a

02:18half. Or Brown. Not going to have him either. 152 and a half the total in the night game.

02:24Clemson minus one and a half against Louisville. Both these teams, obviously,

02:29winners play tomorrow night in the championship. I know that I have to be drunk, but I'll take

02:36Duke still to win this game. Like last night, they were losing by 20, and they didn't have

02:42either one of them, and they still won the game. They didn't cover, but they won the game.

02:46Tonight, like, and that spread was a lot bigger than six and a half. Believe me, it was,

02:51what was it, 23, 22 and a half? Okay, this is manageable. They've already beat them twice,

02:58and I think they're going to beat them again. I still think Duke will win the game and cover,

03:03and then I like Clemson over Louisville. I don't doubt Chucky for one second.

03:10I thought that was a crazy game with Stanford. Clemson had easy work. Clemson is better than

03:16Louisville, and that's the, this Brownwell guy, that's the guy Indiana wants, allegedly,

03:23in Bloomington, the Clemson coach. The problem is Clemson has a better basketball program than

03:28Indiana does now, and that's just all there is to it. They're like trying to sell them a bill

03:32of goods. Meanwhile, he's got a better job and a better program. Why would you leave that to go

03:37to that **** I.U.? Indiana's basketball program is totally broken right now. Let's just face facts

03:44and stop with all this other bullsh**, as Bob Knight used to say. You can F with it however

03:50way you want. He also used to say that. Indiana is broke. They're better at football now. That's

03:56embarrassing.
