Let's look ahead to Saturday.

And I have plays on both games.

The first one I've already alluded to, Duke, one seed, laying six and a half against

Alabama.

I like Duke.

I love the under.

173 and a half.

It's a high number when we go high.

When they go high, we go higher.

That's what you're expecting.

No, I want to go lower here.

173, 174. These are some of the highest totals in the history of the tournament. And while we got it last

time, I'm sure as shit not about to dive right back into it and play with fire. I think we are due

for both teams who scored 100 points to come back down to earth.

Duke plays tempo 264th in the country.

That's on the slow side, not the slowest in the tournament.

It's not St. Mary's, it's not Tennessee, it's not Houston, but it is on the slower side.

Duke is the better rebounding team, which means if you get stops, you have the ball,

you dictate the tempo. You don't have to run and play Alabama's game. This is a team that will

play slower, but is much more prolific than St. Mary's. They can actually dictate tempo.

If Alabama misses shots, they don't dictate tempo. If Alabama doesn't get stops, again,

no answer for Cooper Flag. They take the ball out of their own hoop. They'll still try to go,
