00:00Do you think Utah State can, I'm going to throw a few of these at you, can beat UCLA?

00:04Absolutely.

00:05I think they're going to beat them.

00:06Absolutely.

00:07Yes.

00:08High point against Purdue.

00:09Now, this is going to be interesting, Pharrell, it's about how this style of play is played.

00:14High point does throw the ball around the gym.

00:17If they protect the ball and get shot at the rim, particularly from three, they're going

00:21to be dangerous.

00:22The key with Purdue is, do they go outside and try to out-shoot them with Lawyer Smith?

00:27That's a problem.

00:28They shouldn't.

00:29They should go inside the Kaufman rim where they struggle.

00:32It's going to depend on how high point gets Purdue to play.

00:35Vandy against St. Mary's.

00:39I think St. Mary's is going to win this game.

00:41I think St. Mary's, listen, everybody talks about great defensive teams, right, Pharrell,

00:46St. John's, Houston.

00:47Can we talk about Coach Bennett and that team over there at St. Mary's?

00:52They get you to play their pace.

00:55I think they're going to be very much in play.

00:56They'll beat Vandy, and they're going to give Alabama a scare in the 2-7 game.

01:01Wilmington against Texas Tech.

01:04I like Texas Tech to come through.

01:06I think they get the job done.

01:08The concern with me with Texas Tech is the second game that they play in the tournament

01:13because I think Drake, he may lose to Kendrick Lamar, but these Bulldogs ain't losing to

01:19Missouri.

01:20Drake takes out Missouri, and then they take out Texas Tech.

01:24Grand Canyon against Maryland.

01:27Listen, Pharrell, I've never been a believer of Kevin Willard when he's outside of his

01:32own building.

01:33I know they made a little bit of a run at Big Ten, obviously, with Queen and Reese,

01:37but this high point team is feisty, they're dangerous, they're a well-coached, then I

01:42think Maryland wins, but a close one.

01:45They cover the spread.

01:47New Mexico against Marquette, the 10-7.

01:51The problem is is Marquette and Pharrell haven't been right in their own way in the

01:55last month.

01:57I do think they find a way to get by Richard Pitino, but I think it's going to be one

02:01hell of a game that probably goes down to the last minute.
