00:00So we have a few games that will run through your coach quickly. We have Fort Myers where they've been playing games down there for the last few days. Beach Division tonight, Michigan and Va Tech. That's a six o'clock East tip. What do we like in this game?
00:17I'm going to go to Michigan. I mean, Va Tech is 0-4. Gets spread the last four games. You know, Dusty May brought in some guys. Detroit turned to Michigan. I just think they're a little bit more battle-tested. Virginia Tech's only had one game, I think, versus a Power 5, Power 14. Didn't go well. Give me Michigan minus 10 and a half. I think they get a big win.
00:36The other game down there in Fort Myers, I believe, Coach, is the Xavier game. There's so many games today that it's tough to get through all of them. Xavier, South Carolina. That is the second game of that Fort Myers dip-off doubleheader after Michigan. Xavier minus five and a half tonight as that's moved from earlier today.
00:56Yeah, it was six and a half. It's kind of moved down a little bit, down a point. You know, if you look at this team with Xavier, you know, they've been a little bit more battle-tested. I know they had a good win over Wake Forest by 15. The team had beat Michigan. But if you look at South Carolina, beating Mercer by 12 is nothing to write home about. I'm not going to talk about what they did to challenge it. But the one time they played a team that was pretty decent, Indiana, lost by 16.
01:19I like what that is. I'm not that model. What am I saying? Give me Xavier minus a point.
01:28I love the Maui and you have one of the games featured here, which is, of course, this heavy hitter game. Number four, Auburn and number five, Iowa State. Auburn at this very second minus four and a half with the 144 and a half total. That's the third game of four in Maui today.
01:44So this is where people are going to think I'm crazy, right? So Auburn averages about 87.3 points per game. And then Iowa State averages about 84 points a game. So where am I going? I'm taking the under.
01:55Carver High, simply put, these are two of the top 20 defenses in the country. Bruce Pearl, great, great coach. Obviously, Austin Berger, great coach defensively. They hang their hats on the defenseman. And I think you're going to get a really tightly contested game. Give me under 140 and a half in the contest tonight.
02:15Now, quickly, coach, what do you like in those other two? Because I know Michigan State's playing Colorado and UNC's playing Dayton. Those are the other ones. And by the way, I told you UConn's getting a push here. This is actually like the first real team UConn's played this year. You know, they're not playing New Hampshire, Sacred Heart and LeMoyne today. They got these games are going to play in Maui. You're really going to find out about the two-time defending champs.
02:36No, and they're getting it right now. If you look at the fact that the two of your better shooters and Liam McNeely and Alex Carver combined 3-for-12 from the floor. And, you know, so that's something you have to be worried about if you're Dan Hurley. They haven't got pushed yet. But when you talk about the other two games in Maui, I'm going to go with Michigan State. I'm going to go with Michigan State minus a point. And I'm going to go with North Carolina minus a point. North Carolina, if I'm not mistaken, has been out there. They played at Hawaii. So they've been out there a couple of days already.
03:06So I think that was smart by Hubert Davis getting them out there because I know even going from the East Coast to the West Coast, three hours is something. Going another three hours, that's a lot. Smart by Hubert Davis. He took advantage. Give me North Carolina minus a point.
