00:00So it leads us to this national championship game on a Monday night inside the Alamo Dome.

00:06Florida is an ever so slight favorite, and I mean ever so slight to the nth degree.

00:12A point and a half in the spread, now minus 113 on the money line.

00:17DRS just seven cents of distinction from where the Cougs are as the slight underdog at minus 106.

00:24Now live on the FanDuel Sportsbook, our total for Houston games, ever important, 140 and a half.

00:32Where does Donny Wright's side begin his national championship breakdown on this Monday morning?

00:38Yeah, it's basically a coin flip there, and the odds makers are telling us that we should get

00:41a great game. It's minus one and a half. You look at the total there around the 140 range,

00:44but this game comes down to me again. It's correlated. It's Walter Clayton Jr. It's a

00:48three-point line for the Florida Gators. If they can make their fair share of three-point shots,

00:51they'll be able to win this game against Houston, because Houston's MO on defense is,

00:55we are the best defense over on the country in efficiency. We understand that. We will defend

00:59the three-point shot, but we will allow you to shoot the three-point shot. So it's just a matter

01:03of fact, as you say, this team is only going to go as far as Walter Clayton takes them tonight

01:06from the three-point line. We saw him splash down five triples in the last game against Auburn,

01:10who also has a very good defense. So if Walter Clayton's like, you know what, you're going to

01:13put a hand in my face, we see him make that time and time again. So I do think he's probably going

01:18to shoot double-digit three-point shots, because that's a defensive footprint for the Houston

01:22Cougars. So the correlation for me is, you might just be looking at that three-point range. Thomas

01:26Howe on Saturday night knocked down a triple for you to cash in a ticket. He's going to have to

01:29multiple three-point shots tonight, because the one thing that we do know is, you're not going to

01:33find a lot of success down in the paint. Stingy is all good at as Houston, and they defend well

01:38inside the arc. The three ball must go down tonight for the Florida Gators if they want

01:42to win this basketball game.
