It's interesting, Coach, because we've seen in a few games now
00:03
here in the Elite Eight, where these games were over
00:07
in the first half.
00:08
They were decided in the first half here.
00:11
I'm wondering if that trend continues,
00:13
because in the Final Four, it feels like these teams,
00:18
all four number ones, you can't spot them ten points
00:21
in the first half here, Coach,
00:22
and realistically expect to come back.
00:26
No, and Joe, you have four of the best teams
00:29
in the country, according to Ketapom.
00:30
I mean, record-shattering, you know, 35-plus and net rating.
00:35
But to me, you have four teams, I should say,
00:37
that are top-notch offensively and defensively
00:40
and well-coached and honestly balanced,
00:44
where they can kind of rely on different guys.
00:46
So I don't think you'll see games get far away.
00:49
I do like the competitive spirit of some of these games.
00:52
Obviously, Tennessee, where Ben and I were together,
00:55
seeing them not quit and give up,
00:57
seeing how hard Michigan State played down the stretch.
00:59
This is gonna be a really exciting Final Four.
01:01
I don't care if people are like, oh, anticlimactic.
01:04
You have the four best teams lined up,
01:07
superstar coaches, young coaches, old coaches,
01:10
veteran teams, young teams.
01:12
This has got a lot of great storylines
01:14
heading to the Final Four this weekend.
