00:00So we talked about Alabama. They're four in your rankings. The question is
00:05Is that how are they gonna respond in Columbia tomorrow night?
00:09off of the loss in Tuscaloosa when everyone was so jacked up to beat Auburn and it didn't happen and then you got to go play
00:16A tough Tiger team on the road halfway across the country. Yes, they're they're absolutely
00:22In a difficult position no matter which Tigers you play in the SEC this year
00:27You're in trouble you play Auburn's Tigers, you know, you're getting a game
00:31But Missouri has been one of the bounce-back teams of the college basketball season
00:36Owen 18 in the SEC a year ago and now among the top at least to this point in the season and they and you
00:43Keep waiting for it to wobble a little bit, but Mizzou has not they have been
00:49consistently excellent from the beginning of the season to here and they are right up there while teams like
00:55Texas and Oklahoma and Georgia
00:58struggle with the constant demands of
01:01Participating in this league Mizzou just keeps climbing over those hurdles. It's a really impressive performance by Dennis Gates and his group
01:09They've had a just a fantastic season
01:12It's going to be a real challenge for Alabama because Mizzou is a mentally and physically tough team
01:18Alabama's really skilled and I'm not saying they're not tough
01:22But they're going to face one of the grittier skilled teams in all of the SEC when they go to Mizzou
01:29So at 5 you have Houston who I believe with Duke is, you know, the other best defensive team in the country
01:35They got a big game tonight in Tempe
01:38against Arizona State the numbers enormous at 11 and a half, but
01:43Houston's flat-out better than Bobby Hurley Sun Devils. Oh, no doubt
01:48Now I will say that the Sun Devils played a really good game a week ago against Texas Tech and I believe that was a
01:55Road game very impressive performance there. I
01:59Wouldn't feel comfortable about giving anybody
02:03points 11 points
02:05Relative to Houston in terms of covering. I I just don't feel great about Houston's offense in any game now
02:12They may beat you 60 to 32
02:15That that certainly could happen that's who they are, but I get uncomfortable with with
02:21Asking teams that are defense first to cover spreads
02:25It's certainly like I said could happen and if it does the way I described it would probably be how it happens
02:31but I I certainly like Houston to make every game they play against a high-quality opponent a
02:38Miserable experience that's what they're out there to do. You are not having fun playing the Cougars
02:43That's that's what they do every time out. They showed it again over the weekend when they played, Arizona
02:49Arizona looked fine for the first 30 minutes first 25 and all of a sudden Houston remembered they were playing
02:55And Arizona remembered they were playing Houston and you saw the result favored the Cougars
