00:00It's a two and a half point number.

00:02It's a 159 and a half total.

00:04Talk to me here, Lee.

00:05See, Tiger Joey.

00:07Yeah, Tiger Joey's buying into Bruce Pearl and Jani Broome

00:10and I really like the identity of this team

00:12offensively and defensively.

00:14I know Broome's potentially a little bit banged up,

00:17but I don't care.

00:18I talk about how they've come into form

00:20from an offensive perspective.

00:21He's averaged 23 and a half points per game, 15 rebounds.

00:25I like the fact that they're playing him down low.

00:28He's getting and eating against other opponents.

00:31And I just think Auburn, from a defensive perspective coach,

00:35could go toe-to-toe with Florida.

00:37Florida has lived and died over the last couple of games

00:39in terms of the three-point shot.

00:41They've only averaged throughout the last couple of games 38%.

00:45That's what allowed them to come from behind against Texas Tech.

00:48Look at the last two games against Michigan and Michigan

00:51State, respectively.

00:52They held both of those opponents to 30%

00:55from three-point land and 29%.

00:58Give me Auburn outright.

01:00I think they win.

01:02Tiger, Joe.

01:02I respectfully disagree.

01:06I am on Florida and maybe this is because

01:09I was against Florida against UConn.

01:11I went against them.

01:12I was against Florida against Texas Tech.

01:14But watching this team closely,

01:18you could argue that, yeah, they've had close calls.

01:22But when they turn it on,

01:25there's a level of gear that they could hit

01:27that I don't even think Auburn can keep up with

01:30with the different ways that I think

01:33that they could score the ball.

01:35I look at that second half against Maryland.

01:38I was thoroughly impressed.

01:40And maybe also what I'm doing is

01:42maybe I'm discounting Michigan and Michigan State

01:46and I'm really selling more on Texas Tech and UConn,

01:48in my belief, in those two teams versus the other two.

01:53So to me, I just look at the fact of

01:57you have a closer Walter Clayton Jr.,

01:59the best guard of any guard in the group.

02:01I think you have enough size with Cheneleau

02:04and Hout and Condon that could neutralize Janae Broome.

02:08And I just think in this moment, in this time,

02:12I think Florida has been maybe not playing

02:15the better basketball in regards to

02:17the last couple of tournament games,

02:18but the sample size that I've looked at

02:20over the course of the last two months,

02:22they've been really impressive.

02:23I like Florida on the money line tonight.

02:26I look at this game and I say,

02:28man, maybe I should just stick to the props.

02:30You know, I don't wanna get in between these guys.

02:32I mean, they're fighting like cats and dogs.

02:34Oh, I mean, couldn't it just make?

02:35Trying to create something here.

02:37Trying to get a little something going.

02:37We're trying to be a promoter here.

02:39Trying to get a little something.

02:39What are you doing?

02:40I don't know, a little something.

02:41If I hear about this Cheneleau one more time, man.

02:43It is a Cheneleau.

02:44Could be at the last house.

02:44What is this Cheneleau number?

02:46Let's see.

02:47We'll see.

02:48First of all, you better hope Condon and Cheneleau

02:52both get about 30 rebounds respectively.

02:54All right, I'm just saying that right now.

02:57I'm just saying.

02:58All right.

02:59Battle test, Pettiford, Miles Kelly.

03:02Yeah, so let me talk about Miles Kelly.

03:05Because to me, I don't think that this game

03:08will be decided by Janiah Broom or Walter Clayton.

03:11I think it'll be a two-on-two tag team special

03:15of Elijah Martin and Will Richard for Florida,

03:19and Miles Kelly and Chad Baker Mazzara for Auburn.

03:24I'm actually on three of those four players

03:26over their numbers in today's game.

03:29The only one I'm not is Martin.

03:32I think the Kelly-Baker Mazzara combo

03:36is so incredibly due.

03:38You all know how I am as a better.

03:40You know I love my bounce back spots.

03:43Baker Mazzara's last two games,

03:45he is four of 19 from the field.

03:49Six points in each.

03:51He is due to step up.

03:54Miles Kelly, my oh my.

03:56Five made shots on 27 attempts in his last three games.

04:05Has not cracked double digits in any.

04:09A much better player than that.

04:11I think one of these guys, Leecey,

04:14could potentially hit the 20 marker.
