00:00All right, big 12 semis this evening in Kansas City.
00:04First game, I love this game.
00:05I think it's gonna be a great game.
00:06BYU and Houston will set things off.
00:09Six and a half for the Houston Cougars.
00:12Remember, they're both Cougars here.
00:13133 and a half, 134 I'm seeing as well.
00:17And then Texas Tech, I got it now at one and a half,
00:21where I'm looking at this second.
00:22Two and a half on the board,
00:24150, two and a half, Arizona and Texas Tech.
00:27Okay, so I took Arizona.
00:32And if you're giving me two and a half, I had it at two.
00:35I like two and a half even better,
00:37because I think it could be that kind of game,
00:39a two point game, last second bucket type thing.
00:43I like Arizona.
00:44I think they can play with anybody.
00:45I think Texas Tech is really tough.
00:47I think the Red Raiders are capable of winning this game,
00:49no doubt about it.
00:50But Arizona, for my money, I bet on them last night.
00:53I told you, I'm not buying Kansas.
00:55I said to coach, I think they stink.
00:58That's why they fell out of the rankings,
01:00because they weren't for real this year at all.
01:02I don't care about their big either.
01:04I think he's a galoof.
01:06And I like BYU.
01:07I got them at seven and a half.
01:09And the way they shoot the rock,
01:11I think they'll be in the game with Houston.
01:13I think Houston, this is a game about the Cougars defense
01:18against a team that shoots the ball really well.
01:21Will they shoot as well as they do
01:25against that great defense?
01:26So I got it at seven and a half, six and a half.
01:28To me, it starts to get a little sketchy.
01:31I think Houston's a Final Four team.
01:33Their defense is absolutely ferocious, problematic.
01:37St. John's, Houston, Duke, and Tennessee.
01:42I will pass Duke's defense with Tennessee's right now
01:46based on availability and health.
01:49With Duke, without Flag, without Brown,
01:52they are not the same team defensively.
01:54We'll see tonight if they can cover that number
01:56and if they're gonna be in big trouble
01:57in the NCAA tournament
01:59and if injuries will ruin their great season
02:02where they climb to number one
02:04going into the ACC tournament in the country
02:07and then two of their star players get injured.
02:10Brown was already injured and now he's screwed.
02:12And now Flag drops.
02:14It changes everything
02:15when your two star players are injured.
02:17It just changes everything.
02:18It makes them almost to the point of worry
02:22about being insignificant.
02:23When you have that many problems with injuries
02:26going into the NCAAs next week,
02:29it might bite you in the ass.
02:32Certainly might.
02:33Quarterfinals at the Big Ten.
02:36Of course, we already know Michigan State and Wisconsin,
02:38one in the afternoon.
02:39They will play each other tomorrow in Indy.
02:42Who will play in the second game?
02:44The winners of tonight.
02:45Illinois versus Maryland in the first game.
02:48Maryland minus one and a half.
02:50Then Purdue and Michigan in the late night game.
02:54Purdue minus two and a half against the Wolverines.
02:56I really like Queen and Maryland.
02:58I like Purdue as well.
03:00I think they're better than Michigan
03:02and I think the Terps are better than the Illini.
03:05I don't deny the Illini are tough.
03:08They're a tournament ready team.
03:10They have a good coach.
03:12They are a problem.
03:13It will not be easy,
03:15but I'm still taking the Terps and the Boilers.
03:20Terps and the Boilers.
03:22Illinois is very tough.
03:23That's for sure.
03:24By the way, Tennessee up 10 now on Texas.
03:2655-45, under 14 minutes to go.
03:29They have all the calls.
03:32Get all the calls.
03:33Tonight's game, games in the SEC in Nashville.
03:36Missouri and Florida in the first game.
03:40Minus eight and a half for the Gators.
03:42And then Alabama in the night cap against Kentucky.
03:45Minus seven and a half for the Tide.
03:47178, 179 and a half the total.
03:52Okay, first of all, it's just been announced
03:55that Flagg will not play tonight for Duke.
03:57So that's a done deal.
03:59Neither will Brown, that's obvious.
04:01But I'm taking Missouri here.
04:02I think Missouri in eight and a half is delicious.
04:05I think Missouri can play with anybody.
04:07I think it's gonna be a great game.
04:08I think the Gators are really good.
04:11Another potential Final Four team, the Florida Gators.
04:16There's no doubt about it.
04:17But I've always believed that for my money,
04:20that even though I bet on Texas with those points,
04:24that Tennessee and Missouri would meet,
04:26if it's possible, for the SEC title.
04:29I know everyone is handing it to Alabama and everything else.
04:32I like Bama in that second game against Kentucky.
04:36I think Kentucky barely got by Oklahoma
04:39because they're not as good as everybody thinks they are.
04:43They could have, should have, would have lost that game.
04:45But didn't they win by one?
04:46Tonight they get served up ice cold by Alabama.
