00:00And so now Auburn, you know, if you would have told me coach, I mean, it's hard to say that they're reeling. I'm not going to say that. But you know, clearly, they did not play their best best basketball over the last couple of weeks.
00:10There's still big favorites over whoever gets in on that 16 seed game between Alabama and St. Francis down in the south. Michigan is the two seed followed by Iowa and then Michigan, who had a fantastic weekend in their tournament.
00:23They're only two and a half point favorites, by the way, against UC San Diego. So it's sort of like, what does that tell you here? But really, really tough bracket here for Auburn. I mean, they have to play Michigan State if they want to move on and get to the final four.
00:36Well, this is an interesting bracket, because I don't know if either one or the two seed are going to make it to the final four because an Auburn team, they're in a fun. Craig, let's be honest, lose the three to last four games. They've not looked good.
00:47When you're a coach, you can have one bad game, but you have three or four bad games down the stretch, you get a little bit of concern. Bruce Pearl's got a lot to fix with that team. Look at that 8-9 matchup. Pat Kelsey's done a great job coming from the College of Charleston over to Louisville versus the Creighton team with Ryan Kalkbrenner, the four-time defending, defensive, the biggest player of the year.
01:05UC San Diego is a live play. They're 30-4. They're outstanding. They're a world coach. Look out for Yale. Last year, 13-4. Beat Auburn, 13-4. SEC team, I think they beat Texas A&M, but the team I'd like to come out of this region is Iowa State. If they are healthy, T.J. Ossenberger's team is dynamic defensively and they've got enough scores offensively. Look for Iowa State, I think, to come out of this region.
