00:00So we are now here in the final four and that leads to a natural conversation on the final four most outstanding player

00:08award for this tournament and

00:12I am I

00:15Buy into everything we do I

00:18I take my time. I do my research. I try and figure things out. I

00:24I

00:25can't

00:27Figure this award out. I have counterparts on the network who swear up and down that this award is

00:35Just about today's games and the national championship. I can't find that written

00:42Anywhere, I don't know why it is just an award for two games as if the tournament

00:50Should not factor in

00:52The other four games that we play a two game sample size is plenty

00:57But I guess a six game sample size. It would be too much. I don't understand that at all

01:03But simultaneously on top of that after watching last year's tournament play out

01:09I don't even know if today's games matter and it might just be decided on

01:16Who plays well in that national championship game it might be Joe last year I

01:24remember you and I

01:26Going at it

01:28Because we had a conversation around whether or not Stefan

01:32Castle could get involved in this race, right and I told you you were being

01:39Ridiculous, it was ridiculous. He could do

01:43Nothing to get into this race and then Steph Castle was

01:47Brilliant against Alabama and the market went. Oh my goodness. Stop the presses

01:51This kid's gonna be the absolute answer and then in the national championship game

01:56Steph was pretty good again, but Tristan Newton was better know over the two games

02:01It was probably Steph but you know who they gave that award to even though I just said his name you at home

02:06Have no idea because it should have gone to Zack Eadie and I will stand on that

02:10For ever and if you know me that means forever

02:13That means I will bring this up every single time anybody ever mentions this award around me

02:18So they give the award to Tristan Newton. So Joe

02:22Where do you see value in the final four most outstanding player market top three?

02:28That's it. You know, it's it stops at broom and everybody else unless

02:33LJ Cryer and Houston just you know

02:36Dismantle Duke and and win the national championship and LJ Cryer averages about 25 points per game

02:42I think it's going to the top three and you include Walter Clayton because of his ability to score points

02:48I would potentially the value for me is on Janai broom

02:52And the reason why I say that is not just you know, how he's performed over the last two games

02:56But he he was involved in terms of the best player overall in terms of you know

03:01The wooden award and and he loses out to Cooper flag and and I think that carries some weight should Auburn win the national

03:08Championship coach so 9 to 1 for me for Janai broom

03:11They're gonna need him to step up with a dynamic effort today and more importantly in the national championship game

03:18So I think that's where you're going. I don't like chalk in terms of Cooper flag, even though they might get there

03:23I know it seems good at minus 105, but give me broom and 9 to 1

03:27You know when you take it from my perspective as a coach, you know

03:32I'm not when it comes on to the first three guys. Obviously, you're gonna take them

03:37Like that team Houston is the one that becomes like

03:42Where do you go?

03:43Because you could make cases

03:46Require your case for use and you can make a case for Juwan Roberts

03:51Is he he had an 18-8 team earlier in the tournament if he has a really good game and defends Cooper flag

03:56That's gonna hang on people from that game

04:00But to me

04:02It's a manual sharp that I'm looking at. I've been looking at it

04:05I've been and Kevin knows this because I've been pounding the pavement yelling screaming. Yeah, Houston

04:12Two months that I thought this team was gonna win a national championship

04:17It's going to come down to what guy is going to make the big shots the big moments

04:24Sometimes that's what happens you get to this it becomes about not just overall the two games

04:29But the moment who hits the big shot when you need a big shot hit

04:33For a value play. I absolutely love a manual sharp at 22 to 1 now

04:39I have used to winning a national championship. So if you're gonna go bet Houston

04:43I would just put you somebody national championship and just put a sprinkle on a manual sharp

04:49Getting most outstanding player in the final four because I think if they're going to win it

04:54Right, he's going to have to hit some big shot at some point over these next two games
