00:00the total tonight now stands at 140 and a half with a little bit of late steam on the over

00:06saturday night for houston and duke's matchup it closed at 137 and a hook 137 points combined it's

00:14houston wins 70 to 67 staying ever so slightly under houston has played to the under in four

00:21of its five wins so far in the tournament very different story for florida first game to the

00:28under in the big dance on saturday against auburn but still 152 combined points drs if florida wins

00:36tonight does that mean this game has to trend to the over if houston wins tonight are we looking

00:41at a dead under in san antonio yeah i mean most people would figure would be a correlation on

00:46that right but i'm not so sure you take a look at the team totals they're listed on that graphic

00:4970 and a half and 70 and a half and like forget about if you want a team to win the game i do

00:54think there's a chance that in either scenario that houston is actually into the 70s so i'm

00:58actually more comfortable taking the houston cougars as a team total not to say well donny

01:02that means you like houston to win the game it's a one and a half point spread i mean either way

01:05this game is going to go down but for me i do think houston can dictate and score at the same

01:10time but also if florida is running ahead houston can also score with the florida gators so when i

01:16say myself you know what houston does have the better defense but it's not like we're talking

01:20about like massive disadvantages like florida doesn't play any defense so their ninth inefficiency

01:24on defense in the country so it's not as if we're getting those regular season matchups like number

01:28one team on defense going up against the 88 team on defense here boy what a decided advantage you

01:34don't actually have that but i do think houston can translate also understand this too both of

01:39these teams now already playing a game in the final four on that big stage then they get to

01:43practice on sunday shoot around on monday so i do think that environment of what to expect in the

01:49first half now we have to sort of get our feet set here these teams should be ready to go from

01:53the beginning and not saying oh man when i pull up from the left hand side that scoreboard way

01:57in the back really gets my attention and sort of has a little flaw in my jump shot not the case

02:01here i think we should get a clean offensive performance which leads me more to an over but

02:06i don't think there's a necessary correlation on if this game is higher or lower as opposed to

02:10saying well houston slows it down so the game should go under and houston wins it i'm not buying

02:14into that tonight
