00:00I just think Florida in this particular matchup is in a class of its own. I don't

00:05see how the Gators don't win this game going away. I would absolutely lay the

00:09six-and-a-half. I would consider alting them up to double digits. I think that

00:13Texas Tech puts up a fight in the opening half. I think this will be yet

00:16another case of the the dog covering in the first half as we have seen so

00:21consistently throughout this tournament and ultimately the better team is the

00:25better team in the second half and Florida advances with relative ease.

00:29Well you know I'll caution you and kind of point back to the round of 32 where

00:34we were kind of saying the same thing about Florida taking on UConn and UConn

00:37outplayed Florida for about 37 minutes of that ballgame with more of a

00:41balanced style approach deeing up. Florida was missing shots early and then

00:46down the kind of the stretch and ended up being just some critical threes in

00:50transition from Florida that got it done. Well Texas Tech is UConn on

00:55steroids regardless of whether or not Chance McMillan ends up playing and also

00:59they're catching a little bit more points than you know in terms of the

01:03actual final score of the UConn Florida game as well. So I feel like Texas Tech

01:07is gonna be in this thing from start to finish and I actually kind of like the

01:11fact that the team had that adversity in the previous round and end up kind of

01:15overcoming it. I think it just shows a little bit of momentum on their side. So

01:21when it comes to the Texas Tech Florida total we saw on the graphic there that

01:24you do like the Alabama Duke total but how do you play the Florida Texas Tech

01:28total because if you think Texas Tech keeps it close does that have you

01:31leaning on the under? We obviously know Florida's offense is unbelievable could

01:35drop 90 points before you know it but I would also lean on the under on that

01:38game. Oh 100% and I think the only thing that would push it over necessarily would

01:44be a close game late and Texas Tech is really good at the free-throw line they

01:48have a number of guys who are over 85% and so if it does come down to that at

01:53x-factor of Texas Tech being in the lead you know that could push it over but if

01:58it is just kind of Texas Tech kind of clinging to maybe a one one and a half

02:02kind of possession differential I do feel like it's gonna go way under the

02:06total. Texas Tech's individual total 74 and a half Florida's is coming in at 81

02:13and a half is there a team total you'd lean toward one way or the other? I would

02:18lean towards the Florida team total going under personally I do feel like

02:22this is a game that's played in the 70s rather than the 80s and if it is played

02:26in the 80s I would and if you do think it's gonna be you know kind of an 80s

02:30type of game I would take in lay the points with Florida obviously that's not

02:35my viewpoint but that would be my angle if that's kind of how you're viewing

02:38this game.
