00:00Donny, here is the opportunity for North Carolina to look at

00:03everybody and say, you doubted our metrics, you doubted how

00:05good we were in terms of the quality of our resume. You

00:08don't think we should be in the NCAA tournament as the last team

00:12in. Here's the chance to prove them wrong and to start some

00:15March momentum. UNC three and a half point favorite in their

00:18opening round matchup in the first four, I should say,

00:22against San Diego State. How do you break down this game

00:24between the Tar Heels and the Astros?

00:25Yeah, obviously, we know the calling card for San Diego

00:27State for years has been their defense. And that certainly

00:30stands out at this point. But understand this, this line

00:32opened up for North Carolina as a favorite at minus three and a

00:34half points still sits right now at Fandu at minus three and a

00:37half points. However, other outlets been have moved to

00:39minus four and a half. So some of that money coming in on

00:42Carolina, and I technically agree with it. But a similar

00:45calling card to these games in Dayton, Ben, 144 and a half New

00:48Jersey, we posted here as a Fandu price now down to 142 and

00:52a half. And I expect those lines might even go lower than that

00:55point, because I just don't see a running match between North

00:58Carolina and San Diego State. But having said that, the more

01:00talented team is North Carolina. Let me see where this line ends

01:03up. Because I thought three and a half in that range was a fair

01:06price. You start talking four and a half and five points. I'm

01:09automatically going to San Diego State because understand this.

01:11Yes, Carolina is talented. But if the mo is when they step up

01:15in competition or play competition, it should be let's

01:17just say tournament worthy, haven't won those games. Now

01:20you're asking them to win by five plus points, it might be

01:22souped off.
