00:00BYU Alabama, could it be defense the difference?

00:02The better defense is Alabama.

00:04The slightly better offense is Alabama,

00:06but both of these teams, according to KenPalm.com,

00:08in the top 10 in offensive efficiency.

00:11Love the three-point shots.

00:12One team defends a three-point line really well,

00:14that's Alabama.

00:15BYU doesn't so much at this point.

00:18If we take a look at the odds for this game,

00:36Some thoughts here on BYU Alabama from New Jersey.

00:41Here's the way I wanna play this game,

00:43to be honest with you.

00:45The team that I think is gonna lose,

00:47I'm just gonna take their team total under.

00:49This is the third highest total we've ever seen

00:52in an NCAA tournament game ever.

00:55And from that standpoint, I would play the under,

00:59because it's just really hard to find a spot

01:03where everything has to go right for this thing to go over.

01:07BYU to score less than 85,

01:10BAMF 95, BYU 80 still keeps us under,

01:14or still gets us over rather,

01:15and stays under BYU's team total.
