00:00as we look at the 10 best prices to win a national championship this year on the
00:07FanDuel Sportsbook. If you had to highlight one of these 10 teams that you
00:11believe will be in the title conversation all season long, which
00:14program would that be? I'm gonna go with two. I'm gonna take Houston and Alabama.
00:20Houston to me would have been in the Final Four last season had Jamal Shedd
00:24not went down obviously with that devastating injury against Duke in the
00:28Sweet 16. Also Ben, I remember this especially closely because I was with
00:32Houston you know as a sideline reporter during the first two rounds of the NCAA
00:36tournament. Houston also last year did not have Terrence Arsenault who was out
00:42with a season-ending injury and did not have JoJo Tugler their backup post
00:46player who was out of the season-ending injury. So this rendition of Houston is
00:50going to be the deepest rendition that we have seen under Kelvin Sampson and as
00:56far as Alabama goes, look, I can say without hesitation that this is the most
01:01anticipated season in the history of Alabama's basketball program and it's
01:07because the Crimson Tide who are coming off their first Final Four appearance in
01:11school history are vastly better defensively than they were a season ago
01:17when they went to a Final Four and the main reason why is the addition of
01:22Rutgers transfer Cliff Amore. Ben, the numbers don't lie. Last season Alabama
01:28blocked 133 shots as a team. Amore blocked 93 by himself at Rutgers.
