00:00favorites to win the national championship. I have this for you as well. Let's get some
00:06of this stuff rolling here this morning. Of course, you know who's going to be at the
00:09top of this list, Scotty, and that is Auburn and Duke. Auburn plus 325, Duke plus 350.
00:16Florida, now the third choice at 6 to 1. The tickets are Duke, Auburn and Michigan State.
00:22The money, Duke, Florida and Houston right now for the national title.
00:28Yeah, listen, I still have this feeling about defensive teams. So Duke, Houston,
00:36St. John's for me and Michigan State. And, you know, Michigan State has, with their defense
00:42and physicality, has beaten more quad one teams than anyone in the country. So they're legit to
00:49me. And, you know, as far as full press, St. John's is unequaled. I mean, they're end to end
00:57for the entire 40 minutes. They're a problem. If you think about some of the greatest teams
01:01that ever played in the NCAA tournament, you think of 40 minutes of hell, right?
01:08With the Cougs. I'm telling you that these teams that can play 40 minutes of defense like that
01:14are just, it's just brutal to try to beat them. I mean, you can't even get the ball up court,
01:21let alone get a good look. And you don't get rebounds either. And you get your shot swatted.
01:28They play full on defense the whole game. And everyone cries about they can't shoot.
01:37They can't shoot from three. All this other nonsense. How do they win every game they play?
01:42With defense. Everything they get is predicated off defense. So to me, they're super dangerous.
01:50Super dangerous, indeed. Cooper Flagg named the ACC player of the year and the ACC rookie of the
01:57year. Both honors for Cooper Flagg. He should win everything because he was the best player in
02:01college basketball this year. That's just how it goes. Davion Smith of St. John's going to try to
02:06practice today. He may play Thursday at the Big East tournament. He did not play Saturday against
02:11Marquette. So we'll see if they can get Smith out there for those games this week. I say next week
02:20is more important than this. That's all that matters. If they don't win the Big East,
02:26which a lot of people think they're just going to win the Big East and beat, you know,
02:30Creighton. And then they're going to beat UConn three times. They're going to beat
02:35Marquette three times. I have my reservations about that. All that matters for that team,
02:42in my view, and I know they won it, the Big East at the Garden,
02:45but all that really matters is the NCAA tournament.
