00:00I want to ask you, you have St. John's as a four.
00:04They have been unbelievable.
00:05They were down 10 to Creighton and they still got it done at the Garden.
00:09How dangerous do you think Patino's team is going into the tournament?
00:13I don't care about the Big East Tournament.
00:14I care about the NCAA.
00:15Yeah, well, as they continue to see, they didn't have any quality wins at all two weeks
00:21ago.
00:22None.
00:23And then they beat Marquette and they beat UConn and now they beat Creighton.
00:27So they get more and more confidence in their ability to beat great teams as they go through
00:33the rest of their backloaded conference schedule.
00:35So if they can continue to play like this and maybe take one more loss or maybe two
00:41more losses if they don't win their conference tournament, this is going to be a dangerous
00:44team.
00:45If they can avoid the kind of a slump that erodes confidence, St. John's is going to
00:50be a dangerous team in the NCAA tournament.
00:52Yeah, and you have them in that same bracket with Auburn and Purdue and A&M is the two
01:00in that South.
01:02That is going to be a hell of a region.
01:03They all are, obviously.
01:05You have in the West Florida the one, Wisconsin the two.
01:09Florida continues to, I think, show everyone that they mean business.
01:14They win big games.
01:16They do.
01:17Well, they've got the best win anybody can get.
01:19They won at Auburn.
01:20That's the best win.
01:23But they don't have a lot of those kinds of wins because they didn't really play a good
01:26non-conference schedule.
01:27So when you look at their resume compared to some of these other teams in their league
01:32and outside their league, they don't have the high-quality wins, the number of high-quality
01:37wins that some of these other teams do.
01:39But when they get high-quality wins, they are high-quality wins.
01:44And Auburn is certainly one of them.
01:45And they beat Tennessee soundly as well.
01:48Yeah, this is a team that's proving that it's pretty good.
01:52And the committee obviously felt they were worthy of a one seed, and I agree with them
01:55on that.
01:56So yeah, one seed kind of team right now.
