00:00Well, look, the line tells the story.

00:01I feel like this is going to be a fantastic game.

00:04You know which direction I'm going to be pulling for here, of course, Gators.

00:06But when I look, I look at the line and I'm like, all right,

00:09this is I'm going to have to watch this one to the end.

00:12It's not going to be easy.

00:13And I think that for Florida, from your perspective, it all comes down to

00:19the idea that Walter Clayton has to be more aggressive

00:23on offense for the whole of the game, not just the last eight minutes

00:27like against UConn or the last four minutes like against Texas Tech.

00:31He was getting double teamed by Texas Tech.

00:33And his answer was, OK, give somebody else the ball and let him make a play

00:37instead of attacking the double team, drifting back to take deep threes

00:42and let his unguarded teammates chase long rebounds if he doesn't connect.

00:46He's got to be the driver of this.

00:48Look, Elijah Martin is a wonderful college basketball player.

00:52This is his second Final Four with a second different team.

00:54Wonderful player, but not a great attacking player.

00:57If he were, he probably would already be in the NBA with his profile,

01:02his size, his strength, his dynamism is not great at putting the ball

01:06on the floor and creating a shot.

01:08And it's even less so with Will Richard across the floor.

01:11So it's got to come from Walter Clayton.

01:13And it came late, not too late against UConn.

01:16It came late and almost too late against Texas Tech.

01:19If they want to be in control of this game,

01:21it has to come from the very beginning from Walter Clayton.
