00:00And let's start our focus with a question.

00:03Is Arizona really the number one team in the country?

00:08Well, that's what the polls say right now.

00:10And what can you say about what is going on in the desert?

00:16If you look at this team, wins over Florida, UCLA, at UConn, and Auburn in an absolute blowout.

00:27And this team is playing really, really good basketball.

00:32Now, what is good about this team is it's a combination of youth and experience.

00:41So when you take the youth, you can look at that guy, Coach Pete, who burst on the scenes with his tremendous performance opening night.

00:49And is scoring right now 15.9 points per game, 5.5 rebounds.

00:55And you look at Burries, another freshman.

00:56Getting you about 12 points a game.

01:00But then he's experience returning.

01:02How about Bradley giving you about 15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists per game?

01:09There's a debate right now on Arizona, Michigan.

01:16Arizona, Michigan.

01:17Because what Michigan did in their run the last couple weeks has been absolutely tremendous.

01:22So is Arizona 1?

01:27I don't know.

01:28But they're no worse than a 1B if you want to say that Michigan and Arizona are really ahead of everyone else.

01:37It'll be interesting to see in that Big 12, we keep talking about it, with Houston, with Iowa State, with Kansas, with BYU.

01:47They're going to be battle-tested, but so is the rest of that league.

01:54And man, that is going to be fun to watch.
