00:00
It's Alabama and BYU, the two seed in the East region, facing the sixth seed in the Cougars
00:07
out of the Big 12. Five and a half points spread in favor of the tied DRS, but really every eyeball
00:13
should pay attention to that very big number in the middle. 175 and a half. Offense expected DRS.
00:22
What do we need to have a clean ride to even approach that total tonight in the Rock?
00:27
One of the best handicap games I believe in this entire Sweet 16 matchup is BYU versus Alabama,
00:33
and it's going to be very aesthetically pleasing because you know me, I love the three-point shot.
00:36
I love teams that get up and down the court. Both of these teams do that, and it should be
00:40
fantastic to watch you play out. Some people look at that 175 and a half and say, okay, neutral
00:44
court, new site here, a couple days to prepare. Other teams' defenses will get your offensive
00:48
sets here, and you just need a little bit of a slow start in this game to hit the 175 and a half.
00:53
I won't be betting the total on this one, but I do think there is a decisive side. This game opened
00:57
up here at the FanDuel Sportsbook at minus four and a half to five and a half, and I agree with
01:01
that line movement because it comes down to two things. These offenses are really good, Ben,
01:04
as you know. Top 10 in efficiency in the country. Alabama four, BYU number nine. The differences
01:10
start to come in on defense where Alabama is a much better defensive footprint than BYU,
01:14
but understand what BYU likes to do. Shoot the three-point shot, shoot it with volume,
01:18
and make it with volume. One team in Alabama will chase you off the three-point line and defend
01:23
the three-point line, which is key because when you set up Alabama's offense on their side,
01:27
they're a wonderful offense. They love to shoot the three-point shot, make a fair amount. BYU lets
01:32
you take the three-point shot and doesn't defend it all that well. The athletes, the style of play
01:37
for Alabama tonight really favors them. If you're looking at saying, I think BYU can win this game
01:43
outright, then maybe that's the side you should go down, but for me, if I'm picking Alabama to win
01:47
this game, which I am, and it falls within that, you know, six, seven, eight-point margin where the
01:52
fouls will add up at the end, where you're hoping for a BYU three to go down late and it gets the
01:56
cover, so be it. But my handicap tells me Alabama's the better team tonight. The styles make the
02:02
fight, and that style's for Alabama tonight. They win and cover and move on.
