00:00I think Auburn can beat anybody and I don't certainly think Izzo has that type of team
00:09anymore in East Lansing.
00:10I've seen him but I really don't believe, I love Danny Hurley, great coach, he's insane
00:17as well.
00:18He reminds me of Bob Knight but he, I do not believe that's a national championship team
00:22this time.
00:23He got back to back but not this one.
00:26It's too, I'm not going to dismiss UConn yet.
00:28UConn, you know, I remember last year UConn had a couple of flashes where people thought
00:33they weren't the team to beat anymore so it's still early, Scott.
00:37I'm not going to dismiss the UConn Huskies but I will say this, me personally, I'm more
00:42interested in the college scene so far this year than the NBA and I know it's still early
00:46in the NBA, the old, it doesn't start until Christmas and all that so I get that.
00:49I'm not dismissing the NBA as a whole but you just brought it up.
00:53There's some really good college basketball teams at the top of the board right now, Scott.
00:58I'm with you.
00:59I was buying, I was on the Auburn Tigers last night.
01:00I ended up not covering the number but I did hit the over and I went bigger on the over
01:05but I really like this Auburn team.
01:07Duke is the real deal.
01:09Kentucky's a dangerous team.
01:10I know you look at Kansas, they lost last night, yeah, at Creighton but still a very,
01:16very dangerous team at the top.
01:17A lot of these blue bloods are really good this year, Scott.
01:20And I sort of, I was thinking, you know, it's way too early but I think Auburn are definitely
01:25national championship material.
01:27I think maybe, you know, does Bruce Pearl ever get it?
01:30He's one of these guys that's been around forever, he's never won a championship, right?
01:33There's very few college coaches that won championships, guys, actually, if you think
01:37about it.
01:38I think he will.
01:39I think he will.
01:40He's got the talent.
01:41Well, they play defense.
01:42They got offense and defense.
01:43That's what I like about it.
01:44Like, you can't be one, you know what I mean, you can't be one-dimensional and win an NCAA
01:48tournament.
01:49You gotta be good at both ends of the court.
01:51And you know, one thing with Duke, Scott, you know the Cooper flag's only gonna get
01:53better and better and better as the season goes along too, right?
01:56I mean, that's the thing.
01:58Duke are still a work, all these teams are still works in progress.
02:01How about the Michigan Wolverines, Scott?
02:03They went into a cold, we talked about it.
02:05They beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin.
02:09Dustin Mays doing a great job.
02:10He's already taken a team to the Final Four, man.
02:13Listen, if he took FAU to the Final Four, don't tell me he can't take Michigan to the
02:16Final Four.
02:17Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that.
02:19Here's a couple guys, I know you've heard of them, Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey at Rutgers.
02:22Yeah, yeah.
02:23Rutgers.
02:24They're both, I believe, already.
02:25NBA.
02:26They're NBA, like they're already, I think they're, both of them, you know, I think Cooper
02:31flag is unbelievable basketball player, but I actually, now I know Dylan, right?
02:37I've seen him train every morning where I play ball.
02:40I play at 6 a.m. and this kid's there at 5 a.m. knocking down 100 threes in a row.
02:44It's like nothing I've ever seen.
02:46He's in there with these two trainers busting his ass before he went to Rutgers.
02:49But since he's been to Rutgers, he's had some big games and so has Bailey.
02:53I think they're both, frankly, a step ahead of Cooper Flag at where they are right now
02:59with their bodies and their development and as players.
03:03And I think Flag is insanely good.
03:05You're talking, there are so many great college basketball players right now that are headed
03:10to the NBA.
03:11It's not even funny.
