  • like your bracket.

  • The you know what's going to happen to art to this is figuring out which one, right?

  • Seven verses.

  • 10.

  • A lot of times, those are very evenly matched teams because maybe they moved up or down a seed line to follow some of the bracketing principles.

  • Seven seeds have had a little bit of an advantage all time.

  • This includes the games that have been vacated because we saw all of them that were played on the floor.

  • And here are the 7 10 matchups this year.

  • You can Maryland at the East Oregon VCU in the West, Clemson and Rutgers.

  • Florida and Virginia Tech are the other two.

  • How many tens beat sevens and which ones?

  • Well, the one I have right now is Virginia Tech beating Florida.

  • Mike Young kids are always hard playing hard charging dudes.

  • They kind of reflect the personality of their coach.

  • Tyree's Radford is back on that team now have to being gone.

  • He's a hard left driving dude getting to the rim.

  • Kevin Aloma.

  • You can throw it to him on the inside.

  • He plays with his back to the basket, can knock down the three ball Justin months 67 dynamic forward.

  • I mean, just came off almost a 30 point game a couple of weeks ago.

  • We'll be Subedi gives them some veteran leadership at the point guard position.

  • I think they'll be able to take Florida out of their offense.

  • They take care of the basketball and they will beat Florida.

  • I like that choice.

  • And I also like Rutgers.

  • Clemson.

  • I think Virginia Tech is has a great chance to beat Florida, but I really think that Rutgers Huntsman game.

  • Rutgers Early in the season, they were playing at a high level.

  • You're talking about an experience physical team.

  • Ron Harper Jr has got to shoot a little bit better.

  • Alright, Jacob Young can beat you off the bounce.

  • I think Miles Johnson is a versatile big that can protect the rim.

  • I really liked this Rutgers team to actually advance and maybe win more than one game.

  • I wouldn't be surprised to Maryland Bu ko.

  • It wouldn't surprise me at all.

  • And Maryland's been, uh, scuffling a little bit at times, and it was sub 500 record as an at large bid in conference play anyway, six versus 11, now multiple 11 seeds have made it to the round of 32 5 of the last six tournaments and 11 seed has reached a sweet 16.

  • And and they what?

  • Eight of the last 10 eight of the last 10 tournaments.

  • You've had an 11 seed win a couple of times.

  • So here are the six and 11 matchups BYU against the winner of Michigan State u C L A.

  • I think you guys have already alluded to the fact you kind of like the Spartans drawing this USC third in the nation in dunks.

  • They get the winner of Wichita State and Drake Syracuse against San Diego State.

  • Texas Tech Utah State set first swing at this.

  • How many?

  • 11 seeds about six is.

  • I think, too.

  • I like Syracuse, and I like Michigan State.

  • BYU.

  • So you're saying Major power five teams as 11th?

  • It's gonna be a fever.

  • That's a lot of power.

  • That's a lot of those 11 that win our power fives in the 11th have Michigan State as well.

  • I mean, there, there, right now, they're playing at a level, especially since now Rocket Watts has the keys to the vehicle, if you will.

  • He's playing more freely.

  • Aaron Henry is just an absolute stuff.

  • And J, they're big guys are starting to play the better rebounding and blocking shots.

  • I like Michigan State there.

  • Yeah, and and accused I I just think Syracuse the way that again.

  • I'm looking at where teams are right now.

  • In this moment of time, I think Michigan State look about what they did in the last two weeks.

  • Michigan State.

  • And look what way Syracuse has played in the last two weeks.

  • They are playing at a high level right now.

  • We have lines on that yet our comrades in here in the region Not yet.

  • Okay, we don't have.

  • I'm gonna I think right now, if Michigan State wins, especially Michigan State will be favored against BYU and Syracuse gonna be favored against San Diego State when it comes out.

  • I was looking at 5 12 now one of seven and 53.

  • All time.

  • Five seeds have the winning record.

  • We told you in the last tournament three of the 12 bounce to five you had a couple of times for the five have swept through.

  • This is always a popular one as well, because a lot of times.

  • You you again get a team from a Power five conference.

  • Or maybe the very best team from outside that it gets a little bit of a middling team Colorado and Georgetown after winning the Big East tournament.

  • U C Santa Barbara.

  • You guys like against Creighton that can really score but looked awful against Georgetown.

  • I like Oregon State against Tennessee shooting Tennessee, has trouble scoring sometimes and then went through kind of like that, too, Only because Villanova is wounded.

  • J How many here?

  • Yeah, I do like Winthrop because of Chandler Badran, Uh, D J.

  • Burns.

  • But I just think Villanova can control the tempo in that game.

  • So I I do favor Villanova.

  • I think Georgetown is a good pick.

  • Uh, I don't know about I think Creighton is going to bounce back and play a lot better against U.

  • C S B.

  • And I like Tennessee to win that game against Oregon State.

  • I like Georgetown.

  • I like Georgetown.

  • I just liked the way they played.

  • They didn't turn it over and turn it over 21% of possessions.

  • Before that, they took care of the basketball they played and protected the front of the room.

  • They scored in the paint.

  • Blair made shots, and I thought Dr Harris did a great job of pressure in the basketball.

  • I just you know, to me when I look at this Georgetown team, it looked like a team that figured itself out.

  • You know what?

  • It took A while.

  • They got a lot of new bodies.

  • They figured themselves out.

  • They had a cause.

  • They were playing for their coach.

  • You could see the connection between Patrick and their team.

  • And let me tell you something.

  • There's something about that guys that play for their head coach and you can see.

  • When they celebrated, they celebrated, not by themselves.

  • They celebrated with him and said, There's all those things that you just said with Georgetown people.

  • It's interesting because you asked the question.

  • Who is the best three point shooting team in the Big East?

  • Most people would think it was great, and it's not.

  • It's Georgetown.

  • So they combine that hard charging defense that they have with the ability to be able to knock down the three ball quite efficiently.

  • People tend to doubt you when you're 500 though they shouldn't.

  • They shouldn't worry about that.

  • People tend to do that.
