00:00Uh, also in the early window 739

00:03Tm east will be the first game at lucas oil in indianapolis where I can't wait for this

00:09And tennessee get together for the third time this year. Honestly, kentucky has beat them twice

00:15Uh, and now they will have round three

00:18Uh here the vols right now minus four and a half

00:22144 and a half is the total

00:25So like i've said this a number of times. I think tennessee

00:29Has got a nightmare on their hands

00:31I think kentucky will cover in this game and I think they can win they beat them twice

00:35They can beat them again. You hear morenzi six of seven. They seem to be their kryptonite

00:41I think tennessee's a flat out

00:44You know more dangerous team

00:46Uh than they were when they played them twice

00:49I you know, you're looking at they're on the cusp of 30 wins

00:54Can we can we get them across the finish line and they don't cover?

00:59That's kind of my feeling that tennessee can win this game

01:02But they won't cover and I will not be surprised at all if kentucky beats them again for a third time

01:08We've had this conversation 15 times this week. They have their number

01:13And tennessee has been known to go

01:16Uh cold shooting

01:18I think tennessee for my money is the fifth best team in america defensively

01:24And so

01:26That's why I think they can win this game. They gotta beat kentucky with defense

01:29They have not been able to stop kentucky and these other matchups with them. They gotta play

01:34Superior better defense tonight against kentucky if they expect to win let alone cover the number

01:42Now look, I would love to see kentucky win i'll be rooting for kentucky tonight. There is no way i'm back in rick barnes

01:49Uh, I know in this spot. There's just no shot that i'm gonna do it

01:52Um, so I i'm leaning to kentucky. I really like uh, the under actually I think it's going to be a bit of a

01:58Of a rock fight. Uh, it's 144 and a half. I think that they're going to play in the high 60s

02:03It's going to be tennessee's type of pace

02:05Uh, and that could be close for kentucky to cover that game and lose it

02:09Uh, like you were just saying kind of catch that middle part of it. Uh, all right

02:13Uh in the night session second game in atlanta, we will have auburn and michigan getting together

02:19Of course everybody always talk about surviving and advancing in the ncaa tournament bruce pearl says

02:25Yeah, we're kind of past that after the first weekend now. It's about winning a championship

02:29You know the survive and advance thing. I think that's really true the first and second round for one seat

02:35It is about survive and advance, uh for the for the top seats

02:39You get to this point. We feel like we're playing for national championship now

02:43And we have four times we're going to have to do it. That's how we feel. I'm just telling you how I feel

02:47Um, you don't feel like you're playing for the national championship in the first and second round

02:52You got to win six games and they got their hands full tonight. Believe me you

02:57I think they eek by

03:00And here's another instance where I think they could lose

03:03I still like auburn

03:06To barely win and not cover

03:08I think that they I think they get through

03:11And you know at the end of the day i've already told you I think they'll beat michigan state

03:16to go to the final four

03:18uh, they're so

03:19physical and enormous

03:22It's you know that and believe me you I think if michigan state and and this team play it's going to be the most violent

03:27Elite eight game you've ever seen in your life. It's literally going to be a football game

03:32And I think it's going to be awesome. I do think michigan covers because michigan never loses they never lose

03:38So I think they're going to be in the game. I think when morenci said 77 all

03:42And with two minutes left I could see that I could envision that as well. Let's see what happens

03:48Auburn finds a way because broom's a badass and he'll get the ball. He's like queen. Give me the rock and finish it off
