00:00as we look at the 10 best prices to win a national championship this year on the

00:07FanDuel Sportsbook. If you had to highlight one of these 10 teams that you

00:11believe will be in the title conversation all season long, which

00:14program would that be? I'm gonna go with two. I'm gonna take Houston and Alabama.

00:20Houston to me would have been in the Final Four last season had Jamal Shedd

00:24not went down obviously with that devastating injury against Duke in the

00:28Sweet 16. Also Ben, I remember this especially closely because I was with

00:32Houston you know as a sideline reporter during the first two rounds of the NCAA

00:36tournament. Houston also last year did not have Terrence Arsenault who was out

00:42with a season-ending injury and did not have JoJo Tugler their backup post

00:46player who was out of the season-ending injury. So this rendition of Houston is

00:50going to be the deepest rendition that we have seen under Kelvin Sampson and as

00:56far as Alabama goes, look, I can say without hesitation that this is the most

01:01anticipated season in the history of Alabama's basketball program and it's

01:07because the Crimson Tide who are coming off their first Final Four appearance in

01:11school history are vastly better defensively than they were a season ago

01:17when they went to a Final Four and the main reason why is the addition of

01:22Rutgers transfer Cliff Amore. Ben, the numbers don't lie. Last season Alabama

01:28blocked 133 shots as a team. Amore blocked 93 by himself at Rutgers.
