00:00Florida Gators, they had all the ropes laid. What a comeback by the Florida

00:03Gators and Walter Clayton Jr who finished with 30 points here. I was so

00:06impressed by that Florida win and sometimes you can use those victories

00:09as a catapult moving forward. Now as we take a look at some of the numbers

00:13here, the Florida Gators 34 and four on the season before pre tournament odds

00:18to make the final four minus 1 35. They got there is the favorite preseason

00:22final four odds 15 to one price preseason title odds 60 to one price.

00:28It's Florida Gators looking good right now, mark.

00:32Yeah, if you're holding a Florida Gators national title ticket, you're

00:36in real good shape right now because you're in a double hedged spot here in

00:40the semifinal and again in the final. If that's the case to make sure you get

00:43out of there with some cash. But

00:46I think overall florida was a team that for the last month leading into the

00:51tournament, I said was the best team in the country. Um, and then I watched Duke

00:57roll through the next four games and now I have a lot of concerns about

01:00florida being able to beat Duke. Um, so just being fair here, but still, you

01:07know, none of these teams have real holes. They're all very good on both

01:11sides of the floor. Uh, and the interesting part is, I'm not sure if

01:15you're aware of this, Donnie, there are just four freshmen combined on all

01:21four final four teams, three of them play for Duke, one of them is Cooper

01:25flag. So, you know, this is a very elder experienced group of final four

01:32teams, which means we get really good basketball, which means we get high

01:36level I. Q. Basketball. And that changes the scope of the game a little

01:40bit here. Um, I granted again, I know all these guys with the transfer

01:43portal all didn't stay at their school for three years and four years and

01:48played there. But nonetheless, this is, this is grown men college basketball,

01:53if you will.
