00:00The total in this one as we've discussed throughout this show is really what jumps out because it is so low

00:07123 and a half people

00:09Unsurprisingly are betting the over sort of ignoring the fact that you know

00:13You've got two elite defensive teams that also offensively go at a snail's pace both sitting in the vicinity of

00:21350th in the nation overall in terms of tempo. How do you bet this one be it side or total?

00:28Yeah, it first off if you're soft don't play in this game because this this game is gonna be a physical war

00:35You really really especially on short a short turnaround like I talked about the other games

00:39Less than 48 hours to play each other. You got veteran guards on one side

00:44You got veteran coaches Kelvin Sampson Rick Barnes. I think that this game is gonna be played in the mud

00:49I mean, I think that's pretty obvious with the total being as low as it is

00:53So if you like basketball in the 1980s and 1970s, this is your kind of game, but I think

01:00Houston has has been fortunate to

01:03Survive in advance. They they got a tough draw getting Gonzaga

01:07That's right seed and then having to play a road game last night against Purdue here

01:12But they've been battle-tested all year. They went undefeated in the big 12 on the road

01:16They they got three guys that make shots at a high clip crier who's on and sharp

01:21I think that they have a little bit more shot making in a game that shots aren't gonna be made that much

01:27I think both teams are very physical. I think that's a push. I think Kelvin Sampson is the better coach

01:32More proven and I trust him to get his team to make a couple more plays here

01:39On the short turn, so I'll lay the number with Houston and I'll take the under so I think

01:44I'm looking like a 5550 game. They make the free throws are good for those shooting team. Houston gets across barely

01:52But I like the under definitely

01:55I love this type of game super slow like super grinded out

01:59This is like I don't want to see games that end 85 to 80. That's not what I want to see

02:03We were talking about this with our previous Rob

02:06I think there's a real chance and I want your thoughts on this

02:08I got his thoughts as well

02:09If Tennessee jumps out to an early lead

02:11You can get Houston at minus one or if Houston jumps out to an early lead

02:15You can get Tennessee a plus eight and I think you have both sides like Houston wins

02:19They win by you get the one and a half minus one and a half in game

02:21You also get Tennessee plus eight and a half

02:23I think that's a very realistic possibility

02:24Is that something you do or would you look to do in this type of game?

02:27Because I think that's what we're gonna see last team to have the ball wins

02:30But Houston still comes away with the cover of not three and a half. Maybe one point

02:34yeah, I definitely would think that and I know a lot of people like to play the

02:40One to ten win margin. This is definitely fits the profile of a game that you may want to look at that market

02:46So especially if you like Tennessee because Tennessee's not gonna blow out Houston

02:51I I would be absolutely shocked if Houston blows out Tennessee as well

02:56But I I think a blowout in this game is seven eight points. I did to your point Tom

03:00I think this game they're just not gonna be enough possessions

03:05To really to to warn a blowout

03:07It's this is they're gonna have half as many possessions as that BYU Alabama game in this game here on Sunday
