00:00I look at michigan state though one of the trends I do buy into our coaching experiences in the final

00:04four the elite eight and Tom Izzo has a bulk of them Bruce Pearl does not I feel like it's it

00:10wouldn't surprise me if Auburn gets tight here and they are laying a line of five and a half where you

00:15have to be really sharp from the outset obviously we saw him pouring on against Michigan late but

00:20Michigan is a lot less athletic than Michigan State is and I would say have kind of a little

00:25bit of an inferior coach Dusty May is really great but Tom Izzo is that kind of in a class

00:29of his own and five and a half points I'm willing to take it I think Michigan State actually ends

00:34up winning this game outright so to your point obviously Michigan Michigan State not created

00:40equally and we saw the 31 to 8 late second half run there by Auburn to kick it the gear as you

00:46put it against Michigan ultimately knocked the Wolverines out and Jani Broome was incredible

00:51throughout that game you know went for 22.16 rebounds before I I can't remember if he fouled

00:56out later or was just subbed out when that game ultimately was decided but it makes you wonder

01:02if games like that can serve as any sort of a wake-up call you know it's it sounds crazy to

01:07say I realize at this stage but all right like Michigan maybe we weren't ready for them in the

01:12way we thought we were going to be now we're prepared for Michigan State well you know if

01:18that's the case they've had back-to-back wake-up calls with Creighton kind of taking them down to

01:22the wire and then Michigan to inferior phones to Michigan State so I just kind of feel like

01:27we're seeing the actual true depiction of how good Auburn actually is.
