00:00Anything that you like specifically for Game 1 coming down the pipeline here, Coach?
00:07Yeah, I do like the Liberty minus the points here. I think this is a game where, you know, they're going to be able to impose a 1-4.
00:15If you look at an over-under, maybe you look at the under 163 and a half. I know you're dealing with two dynamite teams in regards to offensive firepower.
00:24But you're also dealing with two older teams, right? So maybe this game slows down. It gets to a crawl.
00:31So I can see this being, and honestly, in the low 150s, I think this is going to be a heavyweight matchup.
00:38I don't think the Aces think that they can beat the Liberty by running up the floor.
00:42And I know the Liberty can score a ton, but even look at that last game when Aja Wilton, I think it was 75-71.
00:48I think it's going to be a low-scoring game in Game 1.
00:51So I'm glad you brought that up because I had some questions about the totals.
00:54Obviously, fans have to gauge what goes down in Round 1 versus Round 2 because of what the matchups look like.
00:58Seeds are going 1-8, 2-7, and so on and so forth.
01:02But total coming in on this one, started off at 164. I'm seeing it at 163 and a half.
01:07But regardless, is this something you would probably more so lean or continue to lean towards the under on with what you just mentioned?
01:13I would just go under. If you just think about it as a coach, number one, it's one of those things where
01:20if you were the Aces, you want to play this game close to the vest, right?
01:23So you want to walk this game up the floor.
01:25Because you also want to make sure your starters play a ton a minute.
01:28So running up and down the floor is not really beneficial to Becky Hammond and the Aces.
01:35So to me, this is going to be, all four of these teams are really good defensively.
01:39This is going to be a really high intensity game, particularly on a defensive end of the floor.
