00:00Second game in San Francisco will be Arkansas and Texas Tech.
00:06Calipari has been very impressed by what he has seen out of Texas Tech so far, looking at the tape.
00:15They can shoot the three, or if you try to take that away, they can post it.
00:21And they play that way, and they'll figure out where there's an advantage, and they go right after it.
00:26He's done a great job, he really has, and it's going to be a really hard game for us.
00:33But you know what?
00:35My kids, they've come through the fire, and my guess is,
00:44other than a fan of Arkansas, no one's picking us to win the game.
00:50But the great news in this tournament, you got to play the games.
00:54You got to play them.
00:56And so we'll see, and I'll tell the kids I'm going to do my best for 40 minutes to give you everything I have.
01:03Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not as good.
01:07But we'll see.
01:09Listen, it's amazing to me how no one mentions Grant McCaslin, and it's always about John Calipari.
01:18It has to be overwhelming for McCaslin, and for Texas Tech fans, and the Texas Tech SID, and the players.
01:29It's always about John Calipari.
01:32It's not even about the players on Arkansas.
01:36It never is.
01:37It's about him.
01:38Everything's about him.
01:39It was the same way at Kentucky.
01:40The difference was at Kentucky, every kid that he coached went and made tons of money in the NBA.
01:46We haven't seen that start coming to fruition at Fayetteville yet, but this game is about Texas Tech against John Calipari.
01:55And that doesn't jive with me.
01:57Texas Tech is flat out better than Arkansas.
02:01They're flat out better than them.
02:04And I've said on the show this week, I think they have a chance to cover.
02:10I still have a hard time believing they will.
02:14I really do.
02:15I think Texas Tech's going to beat them.
02:18And I know he's a great coach.
02:20I know that they showed, I think Marenci talked about how he never loses.
02:25He covers every game.
02:27He's tenant to all this stuff.
02:29He's not playing.
02:31I think he's a great coach, and he knows what he's doing.
02:35He's slick as they come.
02:37And he can talk, and he can sell it, and he can do the whole bit.
02:41But this team he's playing is a real, legit basketball team.
02:45They're really good.
02:47And they're dangerous.
02:49And I think they'll move on.
02:52Yeah, look, 5 1⁄2 right now, 147 1⁄2 is the total.
02:59And I believe the number is, and I have it here, Calipari, 8-3-1 against the spread as an underdog in the NCAA tournament.
03:06That is his numbers right in that spot.
03:09He covers every time, every time.
03:11That's all that matters.
03:13I like Texas Tech tonight.
03:16I'm with you.
03:18They're not going to shoot like St. John's did on Saturday.
03:20They're going to make their shots, and that's going to be a problem for Arkansas.
