00:00Now you have Maryland at six and they're playing tonight against your two Florida and a lot of

00:06people think the Gators can win it all except the people that think Duke is going to win it all.

00:12Yeah I think that Florida is you know I that's another team honestly and both of these teams

00:16are two more teams that I was not pleased with how they played on Saturday or in both their cases was

00:22on Sunday. Neither team played well. Maryland forgot they had a front court. I mean I'm

00:28watching down the stretch Scott and I'm like that is Ethan Morton guarding Derek Queen. Derek Queen

00:34is 6'11", 260. Ethan Morton is 6'3". Why is Maryland not passing him the basketball? They

00:41finally did on the final possession and won Maryland the game but down the stretch they

00:48did not throw the ball inside against a smaller team at all and that was distressing. Look if

00:54those guys on the perimeter Jacoby Gillespie, Rice, Selton McGill are all lighting it up and

01:00you're busting threes all over the place okay I get it but that wasn't happening. So Maryland has

01:05to play much better but the reason they're six is Derek Queen. They have they have to obviously win

01:11this game and it's not going to be easy and I don't expect it to happen but if they do they are

01:16a threat to win it all. Not a great threat to win it all but I still look at this field and wonder

01:22beyond Duke, beyond Florida, beyond a couple other teams who really looks like a champion and I don't

01:28mean like looks like a champion of the SEC or a champion of the Big East or Big Ten or whatever I

01:34guess no Big East but I'm talking about what champions in the past of the NCAA tournament

01:39have looked like. Very few teams in this tournament have those ingredients. So you have Bama at eight

01:46they got a tough game with BYU tonight in Newark. Yeah that's going to be a fun game Scott. I think

01:54Gail was talking about that excuse me Gabe was talking about that before we were before you and

01:59I connected. He's 100 percent right. It's going to be a blast. Those two teams it's the only time

02:07in my career Scott when I can remember saying hey what's the total on that game because I'm just so

02:12curious about whether they think that they're going to go for 210 points or something

02:19because neither team is very good defensively and both teams are extraordinary offensively among

02:26among the very best. If you ask me okay you pick based on who's got the best offense I think those

02:31two might be two of the top three teams that we discuss but it doesn't work that way. You have to

02:36be able to guard two so each of these teams has the ability to get to the final four but I don't

02:41think either of them can win at all.
