00:00But if we are looking at the region itself, it's Auburn, it's Michigan, it's Ole Miss,

00:06and it's Michigan State. Price points here, Auburn, to win the South, minus 140. Michigan

00:11State, plus 310. Longer shots here, Ole Miss, plus 650, and then Michigan at a 7 to 1 price.

00:18So contrasting styles, not necessarily. Michigan State, look, how do they win? Sometimes I watch

00:24the basketball team like, where's all the elite talent? They just win, it's Tom Izzo,

00:27it's what they do in the month of March. We know how talented Auburn is. We see Michigan on that

00:32late season run, winning the Big Ten Conference Championship, and then Ole Miss, who was left

00:37for dead, Joe. Ah, Carolina's gonna steamroll them, beat North Carolina, hammer Iowa State,

00:43and say, Michigan State, you're next. Talk to me about some of these odds that you like here,

00:46Joe, in that South region. Yeah, I mean, the South is fascinating, and eye for the life of

00:52me, Donnie. I think there's something to be said here with what Michigan is doing, with their

00:59head coach, who, by the way, don't forget, this was the same guy that took FAU a few years ago to

01:04the Final Four, if you recall. He has got these guys believing, much like he had FAU believing

01:12four years ago. I think there is something to be said for teams knowing, Donnie, in close games,

01:19down the stretch, they're gonna win. They have 14 games and 14 wins this year, decided by three

01:26points or less. I mean, they've won eight in a row by three points or less, and going back to

01:33the top of the year. This Michigan team, unless you blow them out altogether, and I don't think

01:40that's happening here with Bruce Pearl and Auburn, Michigan is a very dangerous team. You know why?

01:45Because if the game is tied down the stretch, or it's close within a possession or two, Michigan

01:51believes, Donnie, they are going to win that game, and in a tournament like this, that's a team I'm

01:57looking to back. They're never going to be a favorite. They're always going to be catching

02:00points. I think Michigan is very dangerous in this part of the bracket.
