00:00 Here is my final four. I have wagers on three of the four teams, potentially the fourth and final
00:11 with the Tar Heels. I have a Purdue and Auburn ticket to win a national championship and I have
00:16 Houston to reach the final four. The Cougs have the pedigree under Kelvin Samson. Right now Auburn
00:22 in terms of the Kent Palm metrics has the least amount of separation in terms of offensive
00:27 efficiency and their defensive efficiency numbers. We'll get into this when the bracket is released
00:34 on Selection Sunday and we forecast March Madness, but there are very strong trends that as you look
00:41 at the Kent Palm numbers, a national champion in the last decade, 15 years, has ranked in the top
00:47 11 of both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency entering the big dance. Right now
00:53 Auburn enters this weekend where they will host Kentucky tomorrow over, by the way, and whatever
00:58 that predicted total is going to be, where Auburn is the ninth best offense in the nation, fourth
01:04 best defense in the nation, and they play at a great pace at home in the jungle on the plane. So
01:10 Auburn plus 340 and then Purdue, Donnie, a team that has failed to reach a final four in more than
01:17 four decades since the 1980 NCAA tournament. And you can say whatever nice things you like about
01:23 the Boilermakers and all of them are deserved this year for what Purdue has done. They are one of
01:27 five teams that has won at least 23 games this year. They are one of three teams in the country
01:32 that has five or more ranked wins. Purdue is the only team in the country that has 15 combined
01:37 quad one wins and quad two wins as well. The Boilermakers season will be defined by March in
01:43 what they do in the NCAA tournament after last year's dismal effort being upset by FDU as a
01:50 one seed. But give me the boilers this year to rewrite history and then North Carolina,
01:55 a team that I think is really, really well suited to make a deep run in March. Also coming off the
02:01 disappointment of being the first ever preseason AP number one team in the country to miss out on
02:07 the big dance. UNC has it all. RJ Davis, he's an all-American guard. He's probably going to win the
02:12 ACC player of the year. Elliott Cadeau, the young freshman point guard orchestrating Hubert Davis's
02:18 offense. And of course, big guys down low led by Armando Bacon. I think this team has the makings
02:24 of being a team to make a deep run in March. Give me the tar heels at a plus 450 price as my fourth
02:30 and final team in the final four.
