  • All right, so we've seen the West.

  • We've seen the South and the Midwest and the East coming up in just a second.

  • Michigan is the number one seed in the East now.

  • Michigan.

  • There was some question that maybe they would be supplanted by Alabama as the number one seed in the East.

  • Given the injury to Isaiah Livers, which we don't know exactly how severe that is.

  • There is Texas Southern against Mount ST Mary's in the play in game, Johnny Jones taking his third team to the tournament.

  • If you can get past the mouth, dealing with the Wolverines might be a little bit of a problem.

  • Ls you after that valiant effort in the SEC championship game that's now an 89 matchup.

  • Funds with ST Bonaventure, champions of the 8 10.

  • I'm surprised by that.

  • That excellent looks A.

  • I thought you would actually be a little lower.

  • It seems a little high for them.

  • But man, with the way that those with the way that Darius Days is really the key.

  • I've been saying it all week to them.

  • We know what their Big three is gonna do.

  • They're gonna score.

  • But if Darius days.

  • If they can get 10 to 12 points a night out of him, then they have an opportunity to advance.

  • If not, this is a very good ST Bonaventure team that will beat L S U L s u is way more talented.

  • But ST Bonaventure is really tough.

  • So fellas, he is not ready for a fistfight.

  • The bodies can be same Bonds, which is a good basketball team.

  • But when you look this thing, watch out for Georgetown and you know you talk about Georgetown, the Big East champs, and I understand Villanova was down.

  • But Georgetown in the last four games, basically, they've got back to old Georgetown.

  • What I mean by that is they rebound.

  • They defend their extremely physical Javan.

  • Blair is seeing a big basket shooting about 40% from the field dot Harris at the point is getting up and under people and Qantas Uh, hot.

  • He's been terrific in the post.

  • They've taken care of the ball and they've got back to the physical mindset.

  • That will be a very tough game for Colorado.

  • It'll be interesting to see if Colorado comes in playing with an edge after what happened in the Pac 12 tournament cause they're better than Oregon State didn't wind up winning the game.

  • They've got a great point guard and McKinley right.

  • Evan Batty plays with as much passion and as hard as anybody gonna find.

  • Jury A Horn shoots over 40% from three.

  • They're a good team, Uh, and I think they're better than Georgetown.

  • But can they beat Georgetown?

  • We'll see.

  • That will be fun for 13.

  • Matchup is Florida State and UNC Greensboro West Miller taking the Spartans out of the Southern Conference there for the second time in his 10 years.

  • This is a team that, uh now West will tell you they're good three point shooting team.

  • The percentage doesn't say that.

  • How do you see them matching up with the Seminoles here with?

  • They have one chance, and that's Isaiah Miller.

  • So Isaiah Miller is two times so con player of the year, the last guy to do that with Steph Curry.

  • Some of the numbers he's put up and he puts up unbelievable numbers.

  • He's not a great shooter.

  • He's a great scorer.

  • The last guy to put up some of those numbers and individual games with Dame Lillard So when you're going all right.

  • Steph Curry, Dame Lillard.

  • Is he that good?

  • No, but could he lead his team to win here?

  • I think it's possible, but I favour Florida State in a big way.

  • You got a Florida State Florida State in their losses.

  • They're averaging 18 turnovers a game, which resulted in 18 points.

  • The one thing Greensboro does.

  • They turn you over 21% of your possessions.

  • They get up and underneath you, they disrupt you.

  • They changed their defenses.

  • They'll extend their defenses out if Florida State's loose with the ball all of a sudden, now Greensboro has a chance to get ahead of defense score and doesn't have to play against that length.

  • So Florida State's a better team, but they play a style of basketball.

  • When you look for matchups of upsets, they play a style of basketball that Florida State turns it over which they have in games they have struggled.

  • They play a three quarter court press with Isaiah Miller involved in these one of the best thieves in the country, and so that could be problematic for Florida State.

  • Florida State had one in the A C.

  • C I'd worry, but because they got beat the way they got beat, I think they'll come out with their hair on fire and tear up u N C g.

  • There are few teams we haven't seen you.

  • I think we've seen.

  • Ah, well, we haven't seen Michigan State yet as Michigan State.

  • Well, there they are.

  • Michigan State and U.

  • C L.

  • A r.

  • Michigan State is in the plan.

  • What about that?

  • Wow with the With the winds they had.

  • That's amazing.

  • Yeah, I'll tell you, what's amazing is when you look there.

  • BYU had opportunities this year, and then they've won a couple of good games.

  • But as a six, that's pretty.

  • That's a pretty high seed.

  • I think they're They're over seeded.

  • I mean, and then they would get to one of the U.

  • C.

  • L.

  • A.

  • Mission state that that's an interesting seed.

  • Matt Harms obviously coming in from Purdue.

  • He's 73 and Alex Barcelo, who transferred in from Arizona.

  • They got Brandon ever transferred in from Oklahoma State.

  • They are good, but they're not as good as they were last year.

  • that that is a high seed.

  • That's interesting.

  • Caleb Loner is playing well for them to as a freshman.

  • I've said earlier in the year that just wasn't quite sure about his skill level, but now he's playing with a lot of confidence.

  • He's rebounding the basketball.

  • Playing with his back to the basket gives him another weapon to contend with.

  • Had a great first half against Gonzaga?

  • Yep, Texas, fresh off the Big 12 tournament, win the in state battle Lone Star State against the Wildcats of Abilene Christian, champions of the Southland.

  • Chris is one of those teams.

  • They're a little bit dangerous now.

  • They will turn you over.

  • They will guard you.

  • They're extremely physical and they've won a bunch of games.

  • I mean, you look at that team.

  • Texas guards.

  • You don't take care of the basketball.

  • That could be an interesting game.

  • I don't think they can beat them, but that would be an interesting game.

  • You're talking about a team that turned you over 26% of their possessions.

  • Number one in the country in turn over the Senate, UConn in Maryland and the 7 10 matchup in Alabama apparently is the top number two seeds.

  • You see the UConn Maryland matchup with James Book Night and the Huskies going in.

  • Rick Pitino getting the Gaels back out of the Metro Atlantic.

  • He's one of only three coaches to take five different programs to the N C.

  • A.

  • A tournament.

  • Let me hit you a little history lesson here.

  • 1987 Alabama goes 16.

  • 2 SEC Regular season.

  • They win the SEC tournament by beating L S U.

  • Just as they did this year.

  • And today you know who knocked them out of the tournament was that Rick Pitino, on his way to the Final Four with Providence back in the 1987 seasons, helped a little bit.

  • I was not at that one.

  • Billy Donovan helped a little bit of, Well, he didn't Del Ray Brooks.

  • That's true, too.
