00:00So let's start off and talk about the west region results. As you see there, the Gators won by 16,
00:06so they end up covering the spread easily. Texas Tech needed everything that they could handle
00:11to get past Arkansas. I know Gilbert, Arkansas is going to look at that as a missed opportunity
00:16because they certainly had a chance to win that game and head toward the Elite Eight.
00:21You know, using a silver lining, if I'm John Calipari, is really nobody had them getting
00:24that far anyway. I know they're not going to feel great about that this morning, but really good
00:28effort throughout the tournament from them. Yeah, absolutely. It's not something you'll feel
00:32great about this morning, maybe even a week from now, but a couple months down the line,
00:35looking at this 10-seeded team that they didn't have any players when he assumed that roster last
00:40year and he built them from the ground up and for them to figure it out down the stretch,
00:44but so many missed opportunities and I know they'll kind of, you know, wish they had that
00:47one back because if one thing had gone differently, we're probably talking about them in the Elite
00:51Eight. And credit the Texas Tech because this is a team who stuck to what they did and they
00:55took advantage of the mistakes that Arkansas made and they made plays. That shot they made
00:59to force overtime and then the plays they made in overtime to get the win. So that's kind of what you
01:03think about when you think about the back and forth that we see in March Madness. Yeah, I would
01:07agree. All right. So as you mentioned, Alabama put up a hundred, but so did Duke yesterday. Wow,
01:11what a wild game between Duke and Arizona too. You know, certainly love came through for them
01:16and I guess Gilbert, I was completely wrong. I was like, wow, if this guy love has a huge game,
01:20they're going to win, but it just goes to show you how good Duke is. They're going to be a tough
01:24out. Absolutely. And I think it was a reminder that the way to beat Duke is not to get in a game
01:30that's that high of a scoring affair. I think you have to muck the game up and make things a little
01:35ugly. We're going to see Alabama probably try and have another high-scoring affair with Duke
01:40tomorrow. But, you know, again, you know, what a great performance from Caleb Love, a great way to
01:45go down against his former school's rival, 35 points, no turnovers is the most impressive part
01:49of his performance yesterday. But again, Cooper flag, 30 points. I think it was seven rebounds
01:53and six assists, just showing us he's exactly who we thought he was coming into this league,
01:58coming to the NCAA. And we know that he will be the first pick in the NBA draft here once his run
02:03is done.
