00:00So let's go to your college basketball power rankings.
00:04I like your top team.
00:06I've said from months before the season started,
00:10we already knew, because I ball a lot.
00:12I play ball six days a week.
00:14And I watched Cooper Flagg play a lot of high school
00:17basketball and big time basketball on the circuit.
00:22Everyone knew what he could do, especially in the Northeast,
00:26up in New York, and what he was doing in Maine.
00:28And you knew what he was going to be.
00:29You knew what he was going to bring.
00:30I said on this show, I said, they're
00:31going to the final four.
00:32They're going to the NCAA championship game
00:34when he's there for one year before he goes pro.
00:36That's what's going to happen.
00:37He's going to take them right to.
00:38I mean, this guy's better than Christian Laettner.
00:41I mean, he's unreal.
00:42And you have them number one.
00:44Now, I don't disagree with that at all.
00:46I like Auburn, too.
00:47I'm kind of, like you said before, 1A.
00:49I'm cool with both of them, because I
00:51think Broome's a badass.
00:53Who's your favorite teams, obviously, besides Duke?
00:56Yeah, I mean, Duke, like you said,
00:57they're kind of bulletproof at this point.
00:59So that's the beauty of March Madness.
01:00That's why I rank 364 teams, because anything can happen.
01:04St. Peter's, I didn't know it was a college.
01:06They're going to the Elite Eight one year.
01:07So that's how this works.
01:08I think Tennessee is a problem.
01:10They've got TK Ziegler at point guard.
01:13I like to think of him as, like, my spirit animal.
01:14You say you play basketball.
01:15I played back in the day.
01:16I passed my prime now.
01:18But a distributor, a guy that can just
01:20do a little bit of everything.
01:21He's a grown up.
01:22I don't like the way they shoot.
01:23They can't shoot.
01:24They can't shoot.
01:25In LA, we're talking about the little.
01:26That's how they're going to lose in the tournament.
01:29They're great, but they can't shoot.
01:31If you can't shoot, you can't win.
01:33It'll catch up to you.
01:34I think they can win at a high level.
01:35Can they go all the way?
01:36I don't know.
01:37Teams over the last 10 years score less in the tournament
01:39than they do during the regular season.
01:41So there's something.
01:42So I'm shocked that you have Gonzaga, too.
01:46Yeah.
01:47What is that about?
01:48It's a formula, to be honest with you.
01:50They came out high so far.
01:51We'll see how that goes as the schedule plays out.
01:53Their strength schedule will hurt them.
01:55But Mark Few has them playing well.
01:58I mean, they're not Duke.
02:00They're not Gonzaga.
02:02They're not what they've been ever.
02:04Like, I've never seen a team of his more fair to Midland.
02:09I don't think they're much better than fair to Midland.
02:12I think they can be good, but they haven't been good.
02:16I've never seen them struggle in games like this,
02:19where they're laying 25, 30 points and they win by eight.
02:23Yeah, that's the weird thing about them.
02:24The expectations are so high on a game-to-game basis.
02:27Duke, Auburn, you have some smaller spreads
02:29because they play in power conferences.
02:31Gonzaga, we'll see where it plays out.
02:33The profile looks good.
02:34We'll see if that maintains over the course
02:36of an entire season.
02:37But Duke, Auburn, I'm with you there.
02:38Completely different tier than Gonzaga.
02:40I like your Texas Tech play.
02:42That win at Houston was badass.
02:44I bet on Houston on that one, too.
02:45So I wasn't thrilled about that.
02:46It was a great play.
02:47It was a great game.
02:48I had Houston on the money line, and it didn't work out.
02:50They were catching, what, 11, 10, 11 points in that game?
02:52They ball, they can defend as hard as anyone.
02:56They went to Houston, win that game in overtime
02:58after coughing it up.
02:59That game, it shows me more on the screen
03:02than any metrics could tell me.
