00:00UConn and Duke, man.
00:02I mean, this is everything you're looking for right here in this bad puppy here.
00:05This is what you're looking for.
00:07I wish this was more so a Final Four game than it is an Elite Eight game.
00:13Give me your thoughts here on this game.
00:15Yeah, this is definitely going to be a war.
00:17And we've seen these two teams have wars over the years.
00:21Between Calhoun and Krzyzewski, now we get Shire and Hurley.
00:25I'm not going against Hurley.
00:26Hurley is really good this time of year.
00:29And I'm going to just take that UConn pedigree, that toughness, that culture.
00:34I like Caravan.
00:35He's been there, done that, played in Final Fours, won two national championships.
00:39I trust Hurley on the 48-hour turn over Shire.
00:43So I'm going to take UConn in the points, and I'm going to take UConn on the money line.
00:47Boy, I tell you, you know, you look at – I use the name Norman Dale, you know,
00:52the guy from Hoosiers, and I'm going to add Bob Knight.
00:55And then I'm going to say, that's Dan Hurley.
00:57I mean, he doesn't mind screaming at refs.
01:01He doesn't care screaming at players, opposing teams.
01:04He is a villain.
01:05And every sport needs to have a villain.
01:08He's truly one of the great villains that we've seen in college basketball.
01:13He really is.
01:14And, you know, I completely agree.
01:16I mean, we had Spurrier forever in college football.
01:21Signetti's playing the villain a little bit in college football now, I think.
01:25Lane Kiffin does a good job, as well, down at LSU.
01:28So I enjoy the villains, and I agree with you.
01:31It's good for the sport.
01:33It's great for us talking about the games, for a guy that is so polarizing.
01:37But one thing you can't argue, the guy wins basketball games.
01:40He's already won two national championships.
01:43Are you shocked that Tennessee is in this game against Michigan?
01:48A little bit, because Barnes has not been good in March Madness, but he's defying all
01:52the odds this year.
01:53I mean, beating Iowa State, controlling the game.
01:57They got their hands full today.
01:58But I do like them with the points.
02:00I like the way that they've kind of come together, this backcourt coming from the portal.
02:06Barnes has really got them guarding, too.
02:08So I think Michigan is going to have their hands full.
02:10I think there's going to be a war coming up here in about a half hour, and I'll take
02:14the points with the Vols.
02:16What makes Michigan so good?
02:20Yeah, where do I start?
02:22They're pretty damn good.
02:25Their versatility and their size, I think, on the perimeter.
02:27They start in the frontcourt, 6'9", 6'10", and then a 7'3", center.
02:32So that helps.
02:33And then they have veteran guards.
02:35The pieces just really mesh well.
02:37Dusty May and company did a really good job in the portal.
02:41I really like this Michigan team.
02:43But I think they're going to have a rock fight on their hands today.
02:46How about this, too?
02:47I mean, if you're talking physicality, who's a more physical team, Michigan or Arizona?
02:53I think slightly Arizona.
02:56Arizona just is more bulkier, if that's the right term.
03:00I feel like they just beat you up more.
03:03Michigan is more, I think, is quicker on the perimeter.
03:07But Arizona, I think, is just more physical on the inside.
03:10Do you think the tournament did a good job at placing these teams in the regions?
03:14You know, and it looks like it's playing the way that they looked and how they thought
03:20that on Selection Sunday a couple weeks ago.
03:23Do you think they did a good job at putting these teams in the right regions?
03:27I think for the most part they did a good job.
03:30There were a couple things that I thought were kind of a joke.
03:33I mean, Miami of Ohio having to play a playing game after only losing one game the entire season.
03:38I thought VCU got underseeded.
03:40I thought Utah State did.
03:42But I also think that goes back to the narrative that they're trying to push the SEC and Big Ten
03:47agenda
03:48more and more as we slowly pull away with the TV money.
