00:00The South region will be Friday night Friday and Sunday in

00:05Atlanta

00:06Auburn is the favorite at minus 140, Michigan State plus 310 Ole Miss plus 650, Michigan

00:147 to 1 Michigan

00:17Like I I want Izzo to get back to a championship game

00:22But I think he's got his hands full with Chris Beard and Ole Miss. I'll be pulling for Michigan State

00:30But I think they're beatable because they don't shoot the ball particularly. Well and Ole Miss does

00:36So it's real simple for me

00:38Like it's like one team can hit the shots

00:40The other one can't the reason Michigan State's and all these games their physicality. They're bigger. They're tougher

00:46They're bangers and they play great defense. They're gonna have to get in the face of these Ole Miss shooters and

00:53I think their guards are fantastic the way they shoot from outside

00:56So I think their perimeter defense is the key to the game for my money

01:01And then I think Auburn will have to deal with Michigan. They're a pain in the ass

01:07They are but I think Auburn's a better basketball team than Michigan

01:11So, I mean it could happen Michigan never loses, but I think they still fall here to Auburn

01:18Broom and company are

01:21There I mean, they're like an NBA team

01:23They're so physical and then we'll see how tough the two bigs are for Michigan in this game on Friday night

01:29That's for sure. But I say Auburn gets gets through

01:33And the also on Friday and Sunday will be the Midwest at

01:37Lucas Oil in Indianapolis

01:40Houston minus 110 Tennessee plus 240 Kentucky 6 to 1 Purdue

01:467 to 1

01:47So look, you know, I've said it before, you know, they said to me last night coach even said it

01:52You can't beat a team three times in one season

01:55We played this team twice beat him twice beat him again last night by 20 and won the title

02:01Kentucky beat Tennessee twice they can do it again. It can happen all these people that say it can't happen or tripping

02:08Like even my daughter said it I said you think that we can't beat this team three times

02:13He said why not you beat him twice beat him again. So we did watch out, Tennessee

02:17Kentucky seems to have your number even though I want Tennessee to win that game

02:22I think they got their hands full and I definitely think Kentucky can win it and cover but I'm rooting for Tennessee

02:29They're Purdue is better than anyone thinks. They are. I think painters a great coach

02:33I think they'll be in the game with Houston and give them a game to the end

02:37Because I don't think Houston shoots the ball. Well what I think they do. Well is

02:42Duke and Houston are the two best defensive teams in the country

02:46So I think Purdue is gonna struggle to score as well

02:49I think this is gonna be a war defensively and low scoring believe it or not, even though I don't do totals

02:55I think Purdue will be in the game and covered a number so I still like Houston somehow to come out of that

03:02I know it's gaudy to go all number ones, but they're just all flat-out better than the teams are playing
