00:00And Creighton and Louisville will start it off, 12-15 East tip.

00:06This game, of course, Scotty, is taking place in Lexington, so not very far for the Cardinal

00:11to travel for this game.

00:12They are two-and-a-half point favorites, 145-and-a-half is the total.

00:18The Blue Jays and the Cards kicking things off.

00:21Yeah, I'm worried about Chucky Hepburn, I'll tell you what, because I like Creighton and

00:26I think that Louisville is going to give them problems with this great guard of theirs.

00:31This guy's like, I think he's one of the best players in college basketball.

00:36He's a real issue for Creighton to deal with.

00:38But Creighton's got a great point guard in their own right, who's 60 years old, and they

00:43got a seven-foot monster, so I was really disappointed in Creighton against St. John's

00:49in the second half when they scored about two points at the garden when they were in

00:53the game at halftime, and then they didn't come out of the room and play ball.

00:58They just got blown out.

01:00So I'm concerned about them, but they are a really good team when they want to be, and

01:03they got size and they got great ball handling and talent.

01:06I've always believed that if you have a true point and you got a big, you're going to give

01:12people problems in this tournament, and Creighton has exactly that.

01:16What I think Louisville has is Chucky.

01:18Chucky Hepburn is the difference maker for that Louisville Cardinal team, and that's

01:22why they're in the tournament.

01:25I'm with you.

01:26Now, I wanted to take Creighton, but they're such a live by the three, die by the three

01:32team, right?

01:33That's it.

01:34That's Creighton's game.

01:35And if they're not hitting their threes, like in the second half against St. John's, it

01:39gets real bare quickly with them in terms of scoring.

01:43So that worries me.

01:44I think Louisville's going to win.

01:45I like that over, Scotty, the 145 in the hand.

01:48Why would you ever hit threes all day when you got a seven foot guy that's a monster

01:52and you can get dunks?

01:54He can do whatever he wants in the middle block.

01:56I would move that ball down into the low post, and I think it would open up their threes.

02:02I think they have to go through Kalkbrenner to win the game.
