00:00to the Cougars here because this total, Mike, is very low for a Final Four game, 135 and a half
00:07for Kelly Sampson's team here and Duke. And look, I mean, I think we're going to know very early on
00:12which way this is going to go because Duke is generally never a team that's only going to drop
00:1560 on you, right? So if that's the case this weekend, they're not going to beat Houston.
00:21Well, I think, Craig, that they have to make peace with the idea that that may be the winning score,
00:26that the whole game for them is not getting broken. They will get suppressed. I really
00:33believe that because that's how good Houston is on defense. But if you don't get broken in the
00:38way that Tennessee did, I mean, Tennessee got completely fractured on offense in the first half
00:43of the regional final in Indy. If you just hang in there and don't get mentally broken and frustrated
00:50and go away from the things that you can do, not necessarily the things that you
00:55want to do or prefer to do, but go to the things you can do. If you're struggling to get the ball
01:00to where you want it to go, well, get it to where they're not. You still have options to score from
01:05there if you're Duke. So I think that's what Duke has to be about on Saturday. And for that reason,
01:11I totally understand where the number is coming from on the total because they understand that
01:17Duke needs to understand that. And they also understand that Houston is going to do everything
01:23they can to make Duke struggle.
