00:03 Here's the one thing that,
00:04 and I do like Colorado State
00:06 when we put the numbers up here in a moment,
00:08 but there is one thing, Joe.
00:09 Usually the team that everyone says doesn't belong,
00:14 why are they here?
00:15 Why are they in the tournament?
00:18 Usually that team pays the committee off
00:21 and wins a game or two
00:23 and kind of validates their existence in this thing.
00:26 And I have a feeling, Joe, as the morning's gone on,
00:29 I'm starting to waver a little bit
00:31 and lean towards the Virginia side.
00:33 I think that they might win this game tonight
00:35 and actually do that for the committee.
00:37 Okay, you're gutless because we talked last night
00:40 and we talked about Colorado State
00:42 and I'm sticking to my guns.
00:44 Here's why I like Colorado State.
00:46 I talked about this to you last night.
00:48 If this was beginning of February, right?
00:51 Maybe second week on a neutral court,
00:54 Virginia most likely would be favored, right?
00:56 We talked about the Mountain West teams last year,
00:59 five of them, one in done.
01:01 They didn't step up and it was San Diego State
01:03 that actually erased all the negativity.
01:06 We know about the conference tournament,
01:08 how the Mountain West never steps up.
01:09 Yeah, Colorado State is a two and a half point favorite.
01:13 Forget Tony Bennett, forget the ACC for a second.
01:17 Why is Virginia two and a half point dogs?
01:19 And why is Virginia 15 to one, Carver?
01:22 15 to one to make it to the Sweet 16
01:27 when a team like Michigan State is only plus 290, okay?
01:31 That number doesn't add up.
01:32 You know why?
01:33 Because the book is telling you that there's no shot
01:36 Virginia gets to the Sweet 16.
01:38 They're the gonna be the doling that everybody bets
01:41 on taking the Rams blowout city.
01:44 They somehow get it done tonight.
