00:00Game of the night, you knew it, because why?

00:02Your boy Donnie writes, I told you all week long.

00:04I looked more forward to this game

00:06than any other game this week, and that

00:07includes Major League Baseball.

00:09It was Alabama.

00:09It was BYU.

00:10It was the styles that make fights,

00:12and I had a great handicap leading up to it.

00:14Again, the only crime is the Vanderbilt Sportsbook

00:16here in New Jersey.

00:17Since the games are based in New Jersey and Newark,

00:19I wasn't able to bet.

00:20But I told everybody, being a man of the people,

00:23you need to get down on Alabama, lay the 4 and 1

00:26at points.

00:26They have a decided advantage at the 3-point line.

00:30Not even in my wildest dreams, which is sometimes, Joe,

00:33very wild, did I expect the Crimson Tide

00:35to drop 25 3-point shots out of 51 attempts.

00:41That's not fair.

00:42If Alabama could just play that way against an NBA team,

00:45they might have taken them down last night with ease.

00:4825 of 51, 113-188 final.

00:52What did Alabama not do well last night, Joe?

00:55Goodness.

00:56Well, and but, you know, let's also be realistic.

00:59We knew Alabama was capable of a game like this.

01:04And to this point, I mean, Mark Sears

01:07was 5 of 35 heading into this game,

01:10a 14% from 3-point range.

01:14So you know I'm a big regression to the mean, right?

01:18I'm always about, listen, you're not

01:20going to keep the truly great ones down that long.

01:24He was not having a good tournament.

01:26I didn't think BYU defensively was

01:29going to provide any sort of issue for Alabama shooters.

01:34If BYU was going to win this game,

01:36they were going to have to shoot out of their mind,

01:39much like Alabama did.

01:41And listen, they shot there, scored almost 90 points,

01:45and it wasn't even close.

01:46So I don't know that BYU could have done anything

01:50different to win this game.

01:53They would have needed Alabama to beat themselves.

01:56And that just tells you there is a big gap between the ability

02:01of these two teams here.

02:02Great job by BYU.

02:05I mean, they never quit.

02:07They always kept coming.

02:08But the problem was Alabama, unlike Duke,

02:12never took their foot off the gas.
