00:00DRS we start though by looking at the men's side a Final Four weekend in San
00:05Antonio and we start big-picture come Monday night who climbs the ladder to
00:10cut down the nets as a national champ? It's the Duke Blue Devils it's they've
00:16been the best team all year long and you know what I actually have a little bit
00:18different of an opinion here on Duke if let's just say Cooper Flagg played all
00:22the way through the ACC tournament and into the tournament itself in March
00:26Madness he said why would you say that Donny because I actually think they got
00:29better when he actually went down it was like you know what we're not just a
00:33one-man show where we just crumble because we just look at Cooper Flagg
00:36like hey do something with the basketball we'll all watch like he goes
00:39down which could have devastated any team like we don't even know if he's
00:41coming back for the tournament let alone to win that game that he got injured
00:45then knock out UNC who thought that they weren't getting into the tournament
00:48unless they beat Duke and they handled them and then won the ACC championship
00:52game then came in the tournament with question marks how healthy Flagg would
00:55be and it turns out he's completely healthy and they look absolutely
00:58sensational so I'm gonna stick it out with Duke do I want to bet them will I
01:02bet them right now at this price no I won't but I can't just say you know what
01:06I don't think they're the best and if they're the best they gotta win it yeah
01:10and Donny it's really hard to fault that kind of notion Duke now enters this
01:14weekend a slight minus money favorite to win a national championship at minus 115
01:20again before the year got started a plus 950 price on the Blue Devils to win a
01:24national championship the freshman talent expected has delivered Cooper
01:29Flagg con Canippal come on Mali watch in that starting five but also guys like
01:33Isaiah Evans and Patrick Gunba off the bench mended with some of that veteran
01:38experience in Tyrese Proctor and a couple of transfers and see on James and
01:43Mason Gillis who will play in a second consecutive Final Four was there last
01:47year with Purdue also keep an eye DRS Malik Brown could be back into the fold
01:53in a big way this weekend in the Final Four he was also injured in that opening
01:57half of the ACC tournament quarterfinal against Georgia Tech that could provide
02:02even more frontcourt depth and balance for the Duke Blue Devils my pick to
02:08start the NCAA tournament is still going to be my pick to win a national
02:12championship entering Final Four weekend that is Florida I believed in the Gators
02:18as maybe the most dangerous team the final two months of the college
02:22basketball season I still think Florida is incredibly dangerous a favorite to
02:27beat Auburn I expect them to do that and then I think they can give more than
02:31likely Duke a challenge in that national championship game on Monday again the
02:35Blue Devils would be about a four and a half point favorite and that projected
02:39and hypothetical spread I think it would be an instant classic on Monday night in
02:44San Antonio
