00:00Talk to me about these games tonight, and maybe, Kevin,
00:02what's your favorite game of the night here?
00:05Man, it's a great question.
00:07I think it has to be St. John's-Duke.
00:10I know that would be the popular answer, but rightfully so.
00:14And I think in the way it landed for the committee,
00:19Duke-Kansas would have also been the answer
00:21if that was the game that we were getting.
00:24That was kind of the game that I was rooting for
00:26because we didn't get Boozer versus Peterson early in the season.
00:30But, yes, settling for St. John's and Rick Pitino I think is pretty good.
00:36I know a lot of people feel like St. John's are alive in this game.
00:39I don't disagree.
00:40I have been eyeing up this total a little bit, though, at 141.5 here.
00:45It feels a little high.
00:48We've seen St. John's against good defensive teams
00:51play some low-scoring basketball.
00:54All, Duke ranks as maybe the best team defensively in the country here.
01:00So, at 141.5, this – also, St. John's cannot shoot.
01:07Like, it's a tough thing.
01:08And Pitino's very open about it, and he's like,
01:11ah, we're going to have to try and make them pay.
01:13And they kind of made Kansas pay a little bit,
01:16specifically in the second half.
01:17I'm not sure they make Duke pay from beyond the arc,
01:20so it feels like a grinder of a basketball game to start the night.
01:25All right.
01:25Let's go to picks the ground.
01:25So, everybody has to call us.
01:25But there's a deal here alone.
01:25We'll be able to prove you that,
01:25I won't break the ground.
