00:00I'll quickly want to hit the the wooden award because again, this is very important the cooper flag injury

00:05And then we'll get into today's game flag down to a minus 155 price tonight broom at plus 120

00:11It has been back and forth between these two players

00:14Flag has played his final game before voters are going to make their move

00:19I think they have actually up until the first round of the tournament to decide. I don't know how many voters

00:25Are still undecided I think is one of the fascinating things about the consistent movement that we see but i'll go to you

00:31First lisi right now

00:33Do you feel like flag who was a considerable favorite has now opened the door for janai broom to win this award?

00:39I think so

00:40I think you know, especially if auburn could win the sec and broom steps up with a dynamic performance

00:45I believe he had 23 points the other day

00:48In the victory over omiss if we get that type of effort, you know against the likes of tennessee and the winner of florida

00:54Alabama, I think broom could steal it in terms of that capacity talked about the inconsistency about auburn, you know back-to-back losses

01:02Didn't help to alabama and texas a&m

01:04They got the one game out of their belt and they're gonna face top 10 competition right now

01:09Where cooper flags on the sidelines we talk about how maybe in mediocre the acc was coached from top to bottom

01:16That's not the case with the sec if broom steps up with let's say 20 plus performances

01:22I think he could steal it over the next couple of games. See i'm gonna take the other side of it

01:26What happens if duke loses today louisville?

01:29because

01:30There's so much that cooper flag means to this team

01:33Yeah leads and points leads and rebounds leads and assists leads and blocks leads and steals top defender

01:39Right shoots 83 percent from the free throw line. So to me, you know, it's more about how does duke look?

01:45You know, if you look at the game against carolina didn't score the ball much in that regular season finale

01:50But a couple of huge blocks in the second half best defender may arguably one of the best defenders in the country

01:56I think the injury to flag and the way how duke plays is going to help actually

02:01Benefit cooper when it comes to the player of the year award. So I I think that if auburn

02:08Wins the sec tournament. It's janai brooms

02:11Because he's back like he's his last few games been playing very well

02:16I don't think they're winning the sec tournament if he's not playing well

02:19But I also don't think they're winning the sec tournament. We'll get into that in a bit
