00:00
It's a two and a half point number.
00:02
It's a 159 and a half total.
00:04
Talk to me here, Lee.
00:05
See, Tiger Joey.
00:07
Yeah, Tiger Joey's buying into Bruce Pearl and Jani Broome
00:10
and I really like the identity of this team
00:12
offensively and defensively.
00:14
I know Broome's potentially a little bit banged up,
00:17
but I don't care.
00:18
I talk about how they've come into form
00:20
from an offensive perspective.
00:21
He's averaged 23 and a half points per game, 15 rebounds.
00:25
I like the fact that they're playing him down low.
00:28
He's getting and eating against other opponents.
00:31
And I just think Auburn, from a defensive perspective coach,
00:35
could go toe-to-toe with Florida.
00:37
Florida has lived and died over the last couple of games
00:39
in terms of the three-point shot.
00:41
They've only averaged throughout the last couple of games 38%.
00:45
That's what allowed them to come from behind against Texas Tech.
00:48
Look at the last two games against Michigan and Michigan
00:51
State, respectively.
00:52
They held both of those opponents to 30%
00:55
from three-point land and 29%.
00:58
Give me Auburn outright.
01:00
I think they win.
01:02
Tiger, Joe.
01:02
I respectfully disagree.
01:06
I am on Florida and maybe this is because
01:09
I was against Florida against UConn.
01:11
I went against them.
01:12
I was against Florida against Texas Tech.
01:14
But watching this team closely,
01:18
you could argue that, yeah, they've had close calls.
01:22
But when they turn it on,
01:25
there's a level of gear that they could hit
01:27
that I don't even think Auburn can keep up with
01:30
with the different ways that I think
01:33
that they could score the ball.
01:35
I look at that second half against Maryland.
01:38
I was thoroughly impressed.
01:40
And maybe also what I'm doing is
01:42
maybe I'm discounting Michigan and Michigan State
01:46
and I'm really selling more on Texas Tech and UConn,
01:48
in my belief, in those two teams versus the other two.
01:53
So to me, I just look at the fact of
01:57
you have a closer Walter Clayton Jr.,
01:59
the best guard of any guard in the group.
02:01
I think you have enough size with Cheneleau
02:04
and Hout and Condon that could neutralize Janae Broome.
02:08
And I just think in this moment, in this time,
02:12
I think Florida has been maybe not playing
02:15
the better basketball in regards to
02:17
the last couple of tournament games,
02:18
but the sample size that I've looked at
02:20
over the course of the last two months,
02:22
they've been really impressive.
02:23
I like Florida on the money line tonight.
02:26
I look at this game and I say,
02:28
man, maybe I should just stick to the props.
02:30
You know, I don't wanna get in between these guys.
02:32
I mean, they're fighting like cats and dogs.
02:34
Oh, I mean, couldn't it just make?
02:35
Trying to create something here.
02:37
Trying to get a little something going.
02:37
We're trying to be a promoter here.
02:39
Trying to get a little something.
02:39
What are you doing?
02:40
I don't know, a little something.
02:41
If I hear about this Cheneleau one more time, man.
02:43
It is a Cheneleau.
02:44
Could be at the last house.
02:44
What is this Cheneleau number?
02:46
Let's see.
02:47
We'll see.
02:48
First of all, you better hope Condon and Cheneleau
02:52
both get about 30 rebounds respectively.
02:54
All right, I'm just saying that right now.
02:57
I'm just saying.
02:58
All right.
02:59
Battle test, Pettiford, Miles Kelly.
03:02
Yeah, so let me talk about Miles Kelly.
03:05
Because to me, I don't think that this game
03:08
will be decided by Janiah Broom or Walter Clayton.
03:11
I think it'll be a two-on-two tag team special
03:15
of Elijah Martin and Will Richard for Florida,
03:19
and Miles Kelly and Chad Baker Mazzara for Auburn.
03:24
I'm actually on three of those four players
03:26
over their numbers in today's game.
03:29
The only one I'm not is Martin.
03:32
I think the Kelly-Baker Mazzara combo
03:36
is so incredibly due.
03:38
You all know how I am as a better.
03:40
You know I love my bounce back spots.
03:43
Baker Mazzara's last two games,
03:45
he is four of 19 from the field.
03:49
Six points in each.
03:51
He is due to step up.
03:54
Miles Kelly, my oh my.
03:56
Five made shots on 27 attempts in his last three games.
04:05
Has not cracked double digits in any.
04:09
A much better player than that.
04:11
I think one of these guys, Leecey,
04:14
could potentially hit the 20 marker.
