00:00Houston, Arizona, where I think once again, you're almost the Grinch, if you will, a little bit,
00:09but you're really just trying to help people out.
00:12Big games, and you know that means people like to bet overs, but once again, you're telling people, buyer beware.
00:19It's buyer beware, and just for a simple fact of, you know, style to make fights and how teams feel
00:26comfortable playing,
00:27there's certain things you know. You know, if you go against Nate Oates, get your track shoes on.
00:33It doesn't matter what you think, get your track shoes on, they're going to run you.
00:39You play a team like Houston, on the other hand, they're going to make this a half-court game,
00:43and they're going to make you execute and run late clock.
00:48So, what's Arizona? Well, Arizona's either way, and that's why I lean to the under,
00:54because of the fact that when you look at this team, they're big, they're rugged,
00:59and you just line up how these teams are.
01:02And if you want to just take conference play, even though they're, you know, where they are, right,
01:08the number one and number two defensive efficiencies right now,
01:12top three in effective field goal percentage defense, you know,
01:16Houston, number one in turnover percentage.
01:18Both teams defensively rebound the ball really well.
01:21They guard you at the three-point line and the two-point line, great.
01:25The only way that this game gets a little bit wiry is if you, honestly, folks, ready?
01:30How this game gets over? Overtime.
01:34That's where it gets over, in my opinion.
01:36If it's 40-minute regulation basketball, especially the way that they both won,
01:41especially Houston make you play in a half-court in Arizona, okay, following suit,
01:45I love the under in this matchup, because I also think these games, the Michigan-Duke game,
01:51this game, these games have major March implications on it.
01:58What do I mean?
01:59The one line.
02:01Folks, you could argue, you could argue this is the one line right now.
02:09This could be the one line right now with Duke and with, you know, Arizona and with Michigan
02:15and, obviously, Houston.
02:18This could be the one line right now.
02:19So, they are all now jockeying for position here.
02:23So, to me, this plays under, championship fight, it'll be fun,
02:28especially that it's in Houston where they will make you play that style.
02:31We will talk more about this game in the best bet segment.
02:34So, allow me to follow up Coach's excellent point.
02:38Bracket Matrix, BracketMatrix.com tracks hundreds of brackets from Bracketologists.
02:46Right now, the projected one line, Michigan-Duke, Arizona, and Houston.
02:53This is, it feels like right now, the one line.
02:58And, though, a little selfish K-Dub, if Arizona wins, Iowa State handles business at BYU,
03:10you got to think the Cyclones are in the mix.
03:13You just have to think the Cyclones are in the mix.
03:16Another team who is also, I think, absolutely live, and, I mean, listen,
03:20these aren't crazy upsets, right, if UConn or Iowa State go down.
03:26Don't count Illinois out just yet, who still has a game against Michigan in their back pocket,
03:33a team who plays late night tonight against UCLA.
