00:00Leading off with a big matchup in the ACC as UVA heads down to Duke.
00:05From a coach's lens, this game is about pace and discipline.
00:08Virginia wants to shrink the game, pack line, late clock, driving into teams.
00:14Duke's defense has been elite, holding opponents near the low 60s recently
00:18and dominating second half adjustments.
00:21It's not just Cameron Boozer, it's collective.
00:23It's Evans, it's false.
00:24We've talked about this.
00:25Managing tempo.
00:26Virginia will try to win this with shot selection and half-court execution.
00:30If Duke can get sealed in a transition and win the rebounding margin early, it tilts quickly.
00:37If this becomes a half-court chest max, UVA may be able to hang around.
00:41If it becomes about depth and athleticism, Duke will pull away and pull away late.
00:46Let's get to the Big 12 with Kansas at Arizona.
00:49This one's going to be physical.
00:50Arizona wants to play downhill, space the floor, attack off the closeouts.
00:55Kansas wants structure and defensive rebounding, led by Flory Padunga.
01:00For Kansas, watch for trade-wide efficiency, especially how they play through the wings.
01:04Arizona's guards, especially in ball treatment action, will try to force Kansas into rotations.
01:09Key, who controls the glass.
01:11Arizona's been strong at home when it limits turnovers and wins points over turnovers.
01:17Kansas thrives when they dictate defensive matchups and force contested jump shots.
01:22If Arizona protects the ball, they win.
01:25If Kansas controls the boards, they can steal it.
01:28Let's stay in the Big 12 as Texas Tech takes on Iowa State.
01:32Folks, this is defense versus defense.
01:35Texas Tech brings their physicality, half-court toughness, and grinded-out possessions.
01:40Iowa State thrives on pressure, forced turnovers, and energy runs while they're at home.
01:46For Iowa State, how they space the floor and generate rhythm threes is going to be of importance.
01:51For Texas Tech, it's about paint protection and forcing ISU with the late shot clock attempts.
01:57Swing factor?
01:59Turnovers.
01:59Iowa State feeds off them.
02:01If Texas values the ball, this stays tight.
02:04First team to 65, probably win this game.
02:07This won't be pretty, but it'll be physical.
02:10It's just the way I like it.
02:13Let's head to the SEC as we have two big matchups.
02:16Alabama-Tennessee, Arkansas-Florida.
02:19For Alabama-Tennessee, it's a tempo battle.
02:22Bama wants to play with pace and space.
02:24Tennessee wants defensive pressure and physical half-court possessions.
02:28If Alabama turns this into a track meet, they may have an edge.
02:32If Tennessee controls the glass, they can grind it out.
02:37What about Arkansas-Florida?
02:39Folks, this is a front-court war.
02:42Florida is leaning heavily on how Chinilu and Condon to control the paint and rebounding.
02:49Arkansas may try and speed them up with Darius and Cuff and make this off of live ball turnovers
02:55where they can use their speed to negate the size of Florida.
02:59If Florida wins this game, it's played in the paint, right?
03:03Tennessee wins if Alabama controls the shooting to spears.
03:06And on the flip side, to Arkansas, I should say, if they're shooting to spears.
