00:00Uh, speaking of the final four, of course, we still have a few days to go.
00:03Uh, Broom didn't practice today for Auburn.
00:06Look at that last four bracket central, uh, for us right there.
00:10Uh, Broom did not practice today, but, uh, Bruce Pearl said that he'll be, he'll be
00:15playing this weekend, which, uh, we told you yesterday, uh, he's going to play this
00:19weekend.
00:19You don't have to worry about, uh, Jani Broom not being there for them.
00:23Uh, nothing's really changed.
00:24I think you have to be worried about him being all kinds of banged up.
00:28I mean, if his knee is, uh, elbow or fried, I think it's a problem.
00:35Uh, no, I've told you before I'm on Auburn and Duke, but, uh, you know, there's
00:41obviously, uh, some level of concern there.
00:44He's not practicing.
00:45He's banged up.
00:46I mean, they're trying to salvage him for this game, which means so much on
00:51Saturday night.
00:53Certainly does.
00:54Uh, still two and a half for Florida and a four and a half for Duke.
00:59So that's where our numbers are, uh, on a Tuesday.
01:02You know, that's amazing to me.
01:03It really is that, uh, I gotta be honest.
01:07I, so I first, they're the number one overall seed.
01:11They lose three or four going out, but they've won four games and they're still
01:15the overall number one seed in the NCAA tournament.
01:17You just heard, uh, Stewie, let's just get down to business.
01:20He said he likes Auburn to take it all.
01:22And then, uh, their dogs against Florida and Florida.
01:28And I gotta tell you, I, you know, I bet on Florida, but I, they
01:32shouldn't even be there.
01:34They shouldn't even be there.
01:34They're down 10 with three minutes to go.
01:36You got to lose that game.
01:37I mean, they just, they just handed it to them and said, here you go.
01:41We don't really like Texas.
01:43We don't want to go on a trip.
01:44It's just too long for us.
01:46Like, are you kidding me?
01:47Right down the street, they blew it.
01:49They blew that game.
01:50And now all of a sudden they're favored over the number one seed.
01:53Come on.
01:54Where does it end?
01:55Well, I also, uh, think, and this is more, you know, we're going to get into
02:00this a lot, Thursday, Friday, et cetera.
02:02When they play in these enormous football stadiums for the final four.
02:07It's so different and we've heard players, coaches, et cetera.
02:11Talk about this in the past.
02:13They're used to playing in these arenas that hold 18, 19,000.
02:16Then you go play in a big football stadium that holds 60, 70, 80.
02:20The sightlines are different.
02:22The floor, you know, they put that raised floor.
02:26And when you get in a situation like this, where you have one team, Florida,
02:30that is built on, you know, they make a lot of threes, they're built on offense.
02:34They're built on it.
02:36And then you have another team that's a little bit older, senior team.
02:39That's more physical.
02:41That plays a more grinding style.
02:44That for me is the style that plays in the big 80,000 seat, uh, football stadium.
02:50And then the team that needs to hit a lot of threes and buckets, it's there.
02:53So I went to a game and a big college arena with, and you know, it's one I'm
03:00talking about fairly Dickinson.
03:01They got the, they got the teepee roof and it's like a big giant tent.
03:06There's like five teepees in this arena.
03:09It's the craziest thing you ever saw.
03:11The basket shoot out from the end zones and behind the baskets, 20.
03:18Feet, 30 feet behind the basket are the stands and the fans fill up into those
03:23backs tournament, like the biggest in New York city, they, uh, two of the, I
03:29mean, literally four of the best teams in, in, in New York played in this
03:34tournament and they were breaking.
03:36Like you've never seen the dimensions, like mentally the dimensions are so
03:44different than playing in an arena, in a tight arena when you're in this
03:48football stadium, which is this bigger high roof ceiling, you know, long
03:55baskets coming out of the end zone fans behind it, everything is different.
04:00And when I watched the game, Mike, I saw these kids, this kid had 23 in the game.
04:04He would have had 40, but he missed 12 shots and this kid scores 35 a game, but
04:11he couldn't hit a shot because of the dimension.
04:14So everything that you just said is why I'm betting on Auburn.
04:21Yeah.
04:21And look, and I, and I think that if, you know, that might apply to the
04:25second game too, because Duke city, but I think that Duke plays Duke can play.
04:31Down low, you know, you can get down low with flag.
04:33They can get buckets at the basket.
04:35Yes.
04:35They shoot a lot of threes too.
04:37Uh, but you would say Houston style is more conducive to the big
04:41arena game as well, uh, because they want to beat you up, uh, be physical.
04:46And I think Houston can beat Duke and I really do.
04:51And I just think they won't.
