Welcome to Andy and Ari on three.

The Gator Boys stayed hot.

Florida is your national champion.

My faith in my alma mater, I don't know if it did anything for me, but it was pretty good for you, Ari.

Yeah, I mean, I thought you were wrong the entire game.

So just a little behind the scenes here, Andy River and I are in a group chat.

Okay.

And during sporting events and things that we're going to talk about on the show, we are engaging in conversation behind the scenes.

And at halftime, when I didn't bet at all, believe it or not, because I had stuff going on at my house, I didn't bet on the game yet.

Funny enough.

Andy goes, are you going to bet this live? And I was like, yeah, this is, so half time. Florida's just missed a three-pointer at the buzzer at halftime. It would have tied it. So they're down. I was 31, 28, I think, at that point. Walter Clayton Jr. has zero points. Will Richard is carrying Florida. He's got 14 of their 28 points at that point. Yeah. And Andy goes, are you going to bet it live? And I said, I don't think, I think Florida turns the ball over too much. And I don't think that they're going to get away with it again against the team this good. And he goes,

okay. And I was like, do you think Florida is going to win? And he goes, yes, I do. And then I put a chunk on Florida plus 110 or 107. And he goes, I thought you would get better odds. And it was like, well, it was better odds than before the game. They were one and a half point favorites before the game but why he's like what do you think it was going to be plus 160 they were only down by

three at halftime and their best player hadn't scored It was like, well, it was better odds than before the game. They were one and a half point favorites before the game. But why he's like, what did you think it was going to be plus 160?

They were only down by three at halftime and their best player hadn't scored much.

So I did it. And then the second half starts and like Florida has six fouls. Like, do they have six fouls in three minutes? They had four, they had four team fouls in about a, I want to say about a 45 second span.

And what, what. They had four team fouls in about a, I want to say about a 45 second span.

And what turned out to be wild is actually Houston or Florida got into the double bonus before Houston did in the second half.

So it caught up.

But there was a stretch there where Florida was fouling like crazy.

Houston was scoring. Nothing was going right for Florida Florida was fouling like crazy. Houston was scoring.

Nothing was going right for Florida.

So they get down 12 with 1624 to go.
