00:00Now, we know how great Janiyah Broom is, and he's been on a heater his last two games.
00:0447 points and 30 rebounds against Michigan and Michigan State combined.
00:10The questions are the health, Joe.
00:12You're dialed in on Auburn today.
00:15How do you feel about Janiyah Broom heading into the matchup,
00:17and how it relates to the prop market?
00:19I still think he'll be effective, but again, from the points perspective,
00:22I'm not looking at that.
00:23Obviously, he put in 25.
00:25He did hurt the hyperextended elbow.
00:28I'm still looking at the rebounds.
00:29He's been a factor.
00:30I talked about it last two games.
00:3116 and 14, respectively, right?
00:33That's 15 per game.
00:35Now, does he get 15 against Florida?
00:37I don't know about that, but at least 10 to 12 in that area.
00:40I think 20 points is still in the area of where he could be productive.
00:44I expect him to get to the line.
00:46He looked like he shot free throws with the elbow last week, coach.
00:49I know he's wearing like a protective arm brace on there.
00:53We'll see in the first half, but I still think, you know,
00:5620 and 12 isn't out of the realm of possibility today.
00:59You have to ride the hot end, and the fact that he might be a little bit
01:02banged up, still down low, dunks, layups, the ability to get fouled
01:07and go to the free throw line, still looking at Broome to be a factor.
01:10That's why I like Auburn today.
01:12Again, rebounds, I would probably lean to more than points,
01:16but I expect him to be effective in this matchup.
01:19See, to me, when I look at Janiyah Broome, if I'm looking at anything,
01:21I'm looking at the rebounds.
01:23Okay.
01:23Because with Chinilu, with Hauck, with Condon, he's going to have to do
01:29an absolute, huge responsibility in controlling the boards,
01:35particularly when he's got to deal with Chinilu.
01:37If you think about getting 10.9, or, you know, he gets 10.9 rebounds a game.
01:42He's gone 11 or more the last four games.
01:45The consistency is there.
01:47You know, you look at the game, the 90-81 game, that was a loss.
01:52You know, 11 rebounds, 18 points, or 19 points.
01:55So to me, I think he probably goes just under the point prop.
01:58I also do like the fact that I think Golden's going to run different guys.
02:03I would run big on big double teams and force the ball out.
02:05But to me, the rebounds are what I'm most comfortable with with Janiyah Broome.
02:09He's got to rebound the ball, because Florida is one of the best
02:13rebounding, offensive rebounding teams in the country.
02:14I would look towards the main three.
02:16You can get a minus 115 on DraftKings for Janiyah Broome.
02:18I think he will be willing to step out a little bit today.
02:20And that's not the base, too.
02:22If it's 10-0, he's going to bring him outside.
02:23Well, it's also the fact that when his, you know, the arm injury was at its worst,
02:29he checks back into that game and immediately shot a three.
02:31I think there's going to be some comfort there for Janiyah Broome.
02:34Again, only one make it minus 115.
02:36On the other side of this game, it is Ionis Finest, and that's Walter Clayton Jr.
02:40Yes, I do take a lot of pride in the fact that this kid went to Ionis.
02:43I don't want to say Rick Pitino, Ionis.
02:44No, no, no, no.
02:45I'd say it must have been Tim Cruz.
02:46Jack, right?
02:47Jack.
02:48Listen, Walt made a decision.
02:49He could have gone to St. John's, went to Florida, and then nobody talks about that.
02:53More money.
02:5430.
02:56Well, Rick couldn't fit.
02:57Rick was keeping it for himself.
02:58He was a little...
02:59If I ever wanted to have the money ready for him.
03:01Florida, they have deep pockets down there.
03:03Yeah, I know.
03:04St. John's is hurting.
03:05A 30-piece against Texas Tech for Walter Clayton.
03:09Has 23 or more in three of the four games so far in this tournament, Joe.
03:15Sell, stay away.
03:16What are the thoughts?
03:1825, you're getting still plus value.
03:20Plus 235.
03:22I find it hard not to say that the big stars don't step up in terms of this matchup.
03:27I honestly believe that.
03:29If Florida is going to have a shot and they're a two and a half point favorite,
03:32not only just win and cover the line, but move on and win a national championship,
03:37you need your best player to step up.
