00:00What about, uh, the West? I'm a big Florida guy.

00:03Uh, I don't think Maryland stands a chance.

00:06Uh, and I would not at all be shocked

00:09if Arkansas beats Texas Tech here, Coach.

00:12What are you thinking?

00:14This is the one that's gonna be completely wild.

00:16I mean, I was on St. John's

00:17because I thought that St. John's

00:19were gonna be the type of team

00:20that was gonna make the game a street fight.

00:23Right? So, Dan Hurley has shown

00:25that that is going to be the way to beat Florida.

00:28So, who out of those three teams

00:31can make it the biggest street fight?

00:34It's Texas Tech.

00:36Maryland, listen.

00:39You can say whatever you want about Reese's shot.

00:42Derrick Reese's shot at the buzzer.

00:44They shouldn't have been in that damn position to begin with

00:47because, number one, they didn't foul,

00:48would've fouled the game.

00:49And number two, you're up by two.

00:50Everybody knows the one thing you don't do

00:52is give them a three.

00:53So, Kevin Woollard showed what Kevin Woollard does at times,

00:56which is drive people crazy,

00:57but he's got immense talent.

00:59I don't think he has the guard play to go against Florida,

01:01although his bigs can match up with Florida's bigs.

01:05The other side, Arkansas is so intriguing

01:09because, and I want people to understand this,

01:12they are where they were supposed to be.

01:16Don't tell me this Cinderella run

01:19with Calipari and, oh my God, this is a...

01:22They were a top 15 team to begin the year.

01:25They're a top five talent team.

01:27That team tremendously underachieved

01:29and they shot the ball like, you know what?

01:32And R.J. Lewis decided,

01:33I'm gonna hold your beer and I'll shoot it worse than you guys.

01:36Right? So, to me, Texas Tech, Grant McCaskill

01:38has done a great job with this team.

01:40I think that's a team that takes it out

01:42and I think they get to the Final Four at plus 280.
