00:00It's interesting, Coach, because we've seen in a few games now

00:03here in the Elite Eight, where these games were over

00:07in the first half.

00:08They were decided in the first half here.

00:11I'm wondering if that trend continues,

00:13because in the Final Four, it feels like these teams,

00:18all four number ones, you can't spot them ten points

00:21in the first half here, Coach,

00:22and realistically expect to come back.

00:26No, and Joe, you have four of the best teams

00:29in the country, according to Ketapom.

00:30I mean, record-shattering, you know, 35-plus and net rating.

00:35But to me, you have four teams, I should say,

00:37that are top-notch offensively and defensively

00:40and well-coached and honestly balanced,

00:44where they can kind of rely on different guys.

00:46So I don't think you'll see games get far away.

00:49I do like the competitive spirit of some of these games.

00:52Obviously, Tennessee, where Ben and I were together,

00:55seeing them not quit and give up,

00:57seeing how hard Michigan State played down the stretch.

00:59This is gonna be a really exciting Final Four.

01:01I don't care if people are like, oh, anticlimactic.

01:04You have the four best teams lined up,

01:07superstar coaches, young coaches, old coaches,

01:10veteran teams, young teams.

01:12This has got a lot of great storylines

01:14heading to the Final Four this weekend.
