00:00Let's talk about those players of course on the most significant of stages on a Final Four Saturday

00:06in San Antonio. Let's start with Jani Broome who has a points prop of 19.5 for Auburn. He had 25

00:12and 14 in the Elite Eight win that South Regional Final against Michigan State on Sunday despite

00:19exiting the game for about five minutes of game time with a right elbow injury. Jani Broome asked

00:25about his status getting ready for the Final Four saying he feels good, should be very close

00:30to 100 percent, no restrictions for the matchup. DRS a little bit more skeptical. How healthy,

00:36how effective do you think Jani Broome is going to be? Do you have any reservations about his

00:42performance entering the Final Four? Listen, everybody's banged up this time. It's just a

00:49matter of do you get banged up and hurt where everybody can see it or not. And let's be honest

00:53Ben, when you get to this point of season, I've been there, well not to the Final Four, nowhere

00:57close. But getting up to tournament time, you do have guys that sit out and practice and just walk

01:03through the stuff that they need to walk through. So interesting prop with Jani Broome at, you know,

01:08obviously 19 and a half, only 18 in the first matchup versus Florida, but got 19 shots up.

01:15I think if this game is going to be close Ben, he's got to clear 20. If he gets 15, 16 points,

01:22I don't see how Auburn is even in this game to be honest with you. So for that and thinking

01:27that the game is close, even though I like Florida, I'm going to go over to 19 and a half

01:31for Jani Broome. I think he'll be able to carry enough of them to keep this to be a good matchup.

01:37Let's say we take Jani Broome out of the equation here. Let's just say Florida's really locking

01:40him down and maybe that elbow isn't right. If I gave you one player on the Auburn Tigers that

01:44you're going to tell the public to look forward to, maybe a betting prop or so, who's the guy

01:48that steps it up for the Auburn Tigers? Well, you got to look at someone like Pettiford. You got

01:53to look at someone from the guard spot because what's going to probably happen is if you, if

01:56you go and you kind of take a look at what you may do, you may try and take away some other players,

02:03right? So you look at Pettiford, it's points prop looking at about 14 and a half, come off the bench,

02:08dynamo, big time shooter guard, not afraid to take the moment. So to me, that's someone you

02:14could look at. You know, listen, he doesn't, he shoots the ball about 38% from three. So if you

02:20want to look at probably Pettiford in regards to maybe three point props, double team, kick out,

02:25he's going to get the looks. Maybe that's where you look. That's where I look for a guard. Somebody

02:28can knock down shots from the perimeter. Let's go to the other side for the Florida Gators. Highest

02:33points prop in the game. J Y of course is the magnificent Walter Creighton Jr at 20 and a half.

02:40If the Gators are going to play in the national championship game on Monday,

02:44what does Todd Golden's team need from a point production level out of Walter Clayton Jr.

02:49He's going to need somewhere in that number. And I think this number is going to be really close.

02:53I think the way to look at Walter Clayton Jr. Is probably the assist, because I think Florida has

02:58been a little bit more offensive balance. You look at that 90, 81 game, they had earlier in

03:03year 19 points, nine assists, six rebounds, kind of like junkyard dogs. If you either want to go

03:08assist or assist plus rebounds, that's where I would look. The guy I'm looking at, you know,

03:14I did it with, you know, we say his name wrong, Thomas, how the center. Okay. This guy may play

03:19bigger minutes because of the fact that Condon has been hurt. Obviously we talked about that

03:23Ben, when he got hurt last Thursday, two Thursday nights ago in the sweet 16. This is a guy that's

03:29shooting the ball from three. Well, 35% from three has a three-pointer and seven out of his last 10

03:34games, one of four versus Auburn earlier in the year, Thomas, how one made three minus one 54,

03:41maybe parlay that with a Florida money line and you get yourself the plus money.
