00:00Game of the night, you knew it, because why?
00:02Your boy Donnie writes, I told you all week long.
00:04I looked more forward to this game
00:06than any other game this week, and that
00:07includes Major League Baseball.
00:09It was Alabama.
00:09It was BYU.
00:10It was the styles that make fights,
00:12and I had a great handicap leading up to it.
00:14Again, the only crime is the Vanderbilt Sportsbook
00:16here in New Jersey.
00:17Since the games are based in New Jersey and Newark,
00:19I wasn't able to bet.
00:20But I told everybody, being a man of the people,
00:23you need to get down on Alabama, lay the 4 and 1
00:26at points.
00:26They have a decided advantage at the 3-point line.
00:30Not even in my wildest dreams, which is sometimes, Joe,
00:33very wild, did I expect the Crimson Tide
00:35to drop 25 3-point shots out of 51 attempts.
00:41That's not fair.
00:42If Alabama could just play that way against an NBA team,
00:45they might have taken them down last night with ease.
00:4825 of 51, 113-188 final.
00:52What did Alabama not do well last night, Joe?
00:55Goodness.
00:56Well, and but, you know, let's also be realistic.
00:59We knew Alabama was capable of a game like this.
01:04And to this point, I mean, Mark Sears
01:07was 5 of 35 heading into this game,
01:10a 14% from 3-point range.
01:14So you know I'm a big regression to the mean, right?
01:18I'm always about, listen, you're not
01:20going to keep the truly great ones down that long.
01:24He was not having a good tournament.
01:26I didn't think BYU defensively was
01:29going to provide any sort of issue for Alabama shooters.
01:34If BYU was going to win this game,
01:36they were going to have to shoot out of their mind,
01:39much like Alabama did.
01:41And listen, they shot there, scored almost 90 points,
01:45and it wasn't even close.
01:46So I don't know that BYU could have done anything
01:50different to win this game.
01:53They would have needed Alabama to beat themselves.
01:56And that just tells you there is a big gap between the ability
02:01of these two teams here.
02:02Great job by BYU.
02:05I mean, they never quit.
02:07They always kept coming.
02:08But the problem was Alabama, unlike Duke,
02:12never took their foot off the gas.
