00:00All right, let's talk about the final four.

00:02Game one, Florida and Auburn tomorrow night

00:05in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome.

00:07And who do you like there?

00:09Well, this is like the Spider-Man meme

00:11where they're both pointing at each other, right?

00:12This is as tough as it gets once again,

00:14but I'm gonna go and it's,

00:17I don't know if I'm going against myself here, Scott,

00:19cause I was pro-Florida coming into this thing

00:21like a lot of other people were,

00:23but I think Auburn are gonna get them.

00:26But Florida, just a little bit shakier to me

00:30than Auburn.

00:31Florida have dodged a couple of bullets.

00:33I think Auburn are gonna beat them in the paint, Scott.

00:35I think Auburn's physicality will play through.

00:38I think Florida are a better shooting team than Auburn.

00:41So it's gonna be a battle, bro.

00:43Like I think it's gonna be like a three or four point game,

00:45but I'm gonna take the points.

00:47Since we're getting points here,

00:49I'm gonna take the Auburn Tigers in this game, Scott.

00:52Although I think either one of them are gonna lose

00:54on Monday night after, personally,

00:57but I'm gonna take the Auburn Tigers

00:58plus the two and a half.

01:00I think the glass and the defense will be the difference.

01:03All right, in the night cap at around 10 to nine on CBS,

01:07it's Duke and Houston in a great one.

01:10Similar situation.

01:11I actually picked Houston to win the tournament.

01:14Like that was my team coming in.

01:15I wanted to be cute and I don't know if it was really

01:18a long shot, not really, but you know,

01:20I got Houston in my brackets.

01:21I got a Houston future, but with that being stated, Scott,

01:24I'm sticking to my guns here.

01:25Duke, I don't think Duke are gonna be beat, bro.

01:28And I know a lot of people this week I talked to

01:30who are like talking themselves in and making reasons why

01:33about Houston's defense and, you know,

01:35they held them to 54 points last year.

01:37Cooper Flagg wasn't on the team last year.

01:39It was a little bit different.

01:41It's like talking about, oh, we beat the Edmonton Oilers

01:43before Wayne Gretzky was on the team in a WH, you know,

01:46the WHA, good for you.

01:48Like, it's a little different.

01:49When he was playing in Indy for the races.

01:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, when we beat the Indianapolis Racers

01:53before Gretzky was, like, good for you.

01:55He wasn't there, right?

01:57They're a completely different team now.

01:59And listen, I think this,

02:00I like this Houston team is great for one thing.

02:02Listen, you know ball.

02:04The most impressive thing about the Houston Cougars, Scott,

02:06is defensively, how fast they get back on defense.

02:11It's like a blur, you know what I mean?

02:13Like, you know, how many times did Tennessee get a rebound

02:15and Tennessee could push it.

02:16Tennessee are fast dudes.

02:18And Tennessee would get a rebound, try to push the pace.

02:20And it's like Star Trek where they beam themselves up

02:24back to the other side of the court.

02:26You don't even see them run back.

02:28It's just sort of like, oh, look, we got a fast break.

02:30It's like, no, we don't.

02:31There's five, look, there's five white jerseys

02:33in front of us again.

02:34Where'd they come from?

02:36Like, man, they get back fast on defense.

02:38So listen, if you're Duke, the only way to beat Houston,

02:41take them out of their defense.

02:42Don't let them set up.

02:43They set up, they're gonna stop you.

02:45You've gotta get them running.

02:47Don't let them set up their half-court defense.

02:49You know that the Duke Blue Devils are aware of this.

02:52I think they're gonna get after it.

02:53I think the total's a little light, Scott,

02:54at 136, 136 and a half.

02:57This is not gonna be a 54-51 game like last year, guys.

03:01These two teams played last year.

03:03I think it was the Sweet 16.

03:05And Duke beat them by three, 54-51.

03:08It was an ugly game.

03:10I'm thinking more of this, you know,

03:11the winner's gonna get into the 70s here.

03:13Like, I think Duke win like 76-39 or something like that,

03:19in my opinion, Scott.

03:20I think Duke are gonna win.

03:21I think Duke are gonna cover.
