00:00I mean, there's a lot of great top 25 games tonight.
00:03A&M in Kentucky, Ole Miss in Bama, Mississippi State in Auburn.
00:07I mean, there's some good games tonight.
00:10Baylor in Arizona.
00:11I know you love college rack as much as I do.
00:13What are you thinking tonight?
00:14And start with that Indiana game.
00:16Yeah, I think that the game that's interesting there
00:20in terms of how it plays out is Sarunas Yakuchonas.
00:25Is he going to play for Illinois?
00:27Because you're going on the road after really struggling
00:31in a home game that should not have been difficult
00:34against Southern California.
00:36Now you're going on the road to play a team
00:38that should be desperate.
00:40Haven't seen a lot of desperation in the Hoosiers,
00:43but I have seen some efficiency at times.
00:45If they're able to beat Illinois,
00:47it would be by far the best opponent
00:49they've defeated this year.
00:51So I don't know exactly what we're going to see
00:55from Indiana or Illinois
00:56because both teams went out on Saturday
00:59in situations where wins were either possible
01:02in Indiana's case at Iowa
01:04or should have been not difficult for Illinois at home
01:11and neither one came close really to winning.
01:14So I don't know what to expect from either.
01:16I mean, if you're asking me
01:18if I would wager on one of those two,
01:21I would not go near that game at all.
01:24It's a very fascinating night in college hoops though
01:27because that Baylor-Arizona game,
01:29Arizona has been absolutely surging,
01:31going on the road and taking West Virginia
01:35and Cincinnati right off the floor
01:37with barely any competition.
01:40It's the Arizona team that we expected to see
01:42at the start of the year
01:43and we didn't see that until January.
01:45And now Baylor started a little slow as well,
01:47but not quite as slow as the Wildcats.
01:50They're a very talented team,
01:52very excited to see how that plays out.
01:55Vijay Edgecombe, a freshman who's really gifted,
01:58I wanna see what he's got,
02:01whether he's starting to make progress
02:03because you look in the mock draft, Scott,
02:05and you see him placed around number five or number six.
02:08He hasn't played like that yet,
02:10but if he does, Baylor's really dangerous.
02:12Yeah, how about Duke?
02:13I watched him play Notre Dame the other day.
02:15Cooper Flagg is unbelievable.
02:17Their defense is fantastic.
02:20They're a Final Four team to me
02:21and I love Auburn.
02:22I've always felt they were the best team in the country.
02:25Well, I think that although I thought Auburn
02:28was the best team,
02:29I wasn't sure whether they were best built
02:32to win the championship.
02:33And Duke is at their best.
02:35Duke is the team that looks more like
02:37what past NCAA champions have looked
02:40in terms of how they're set up.
02:42And now let's see on,
02:43James is starting to play point guard pretty consistently
02:46and is really good defensively against the ball.
02:49They have an established hierarchy in their offense,
02:52where they want the ball to go,
02:54who they want to be the guy, obviously Cooper Flagg.
02:57I'm a little bit worried still about late game situations.
03:01How do they handle it?
03:02They didn't handle them against Kansas or Kentucky,
03:04and now they're not in any
03:06because they're blowing everybody out
03:08and the ACC is so weak.
03:09Scott, are they going to get the challenges
03:11they need to get to refine that element of their game?
03:15That's a little bit worrisome for the Devils.
