00:00the last team into the big dance a controversial selection in the field of 68 that would be

00:06north carolina and yet carolina who many thought was not deserving of an ncaa tournament bid four

00:13and a half point favorite against san diego state it is our night cap tonight in dayton ohio our

00:20second of two first four games total stands at 142 and uh-huh four and a half points spread

00:27in favor of the eels that total at 142 and a half drs where do you begin your breakdown

00:33of this matchup tonight between the aztecs and the tarheels yeah take a look at the north carolina

00:37offense versus the san diego state defense the one thing that we always know the calling card

00:41for san diego state is not an uptempo offense it's playing really good defense 13 in the country

00:46inefficiency now sometimes you say well donny how does this differentiate from you taking a look at

00:51like first like competition which means we play in the same conference we just talked about just

00:55a few short a short while ago where you're looking at both of these conferences back to back here

01:00so it's not as if well how do i compensate for a team that plays in the sec versus a team that

01:04plays in like the you know any c at that point right it's like wow can i really trust that

01:08they're all that efficient now that efficiency goes out the door when the five guys on the team

01:12are so much better than you hey i'm used to getting off my three-point shot now i can't

01:15yeah of course because the other guys are six five you're six two and are faster than you

01:19and your guard play at this point so that's what i'm trying to factor in because carolina does

01:23have a very good offense the one thing that we do know is san diego state's defense band

01:27is good it is efficient but it will let you shoot the three-point shot but will defend the heck out

01:32of it you're taking a look at team 354th bend in the nationally at allowing you to shoot the

01:38three-point shot so if you're like byu hey man sign me up at this point that's not necessarily

01:41carolina but they will defend and also understand this i don't know if it's me just watching like

01:47sometimes the basketball court in dayton i remember a couple years where the nets look

01:51like they were really sure and the rims maybe weren't all that forgiving i always take a look

01:55at that so if i say to myself a team that's going to let you shoot the three-point shot and defend

01:59it where that could be the majority of your shots i usually automatically lean towards that team

02:03because san diego state's offense isn't over relying on the three-point shot and it's not

02:07crazy statistics from unc from the three-point line so as crazy as it sounds like unc is a very

02:12good offensive team and san diego state will let you shoot the three-point shot but again that's

02:16not really the calling card of unc they'll knock down maybe some three-point shots but you talk

02:20about that stingy defense man look at the point distribution 360th in the nation at allowing you

02:27to score inside that means those points are hard to come by so point number one is we'll give you

02:31three we don't think you'll knock them down but if you want to do come down low here we'll defend

02:35the heck out of it i like san diego saving the points tonight i just think that matchup unc's

02:39defense excuse me unc's offense for san diego state's defense that's where it's going to be

02:43on the neutral court i always lean defense
