The ball is tipped and there you are. Look at these shooting stars. Monaco, martensi,

0:08.1

israel, portney, sweet sixteen starts tonight and I want you to clean up the mess that is

0:13.3

the bracket also. Let's got Mark Cuban hot and bothered yet again and the oldest trick in the

0:19.6

book. Only Monaco's fallen for something like that. Let's go. Look over there Monaco, that's how

0:25.9

we're starting. Wow. Okay. The insta gets real fun. I'll be fine. I'll be fine. All right,

0:34.1

guys, let's start with the men's tournament sipping off again tonight. Four games with the main

0:40.1

event, the late game. Let's start with that one. Three seed Gonzaga, two seed UCLA. You remember the

0:45.7

last time these two teams met in the tourney? What a game. Some bets from that game in tonight's

0:50.5

game. Drew Timmy. I may hop gas. All right, what will decide this one tonight, Gordy? Transition play,

0:59.3

you've got the two best teams in transition from the first weekend of the tournament, both scored 41

on 57% shooting. And this team outscoring its opponents big time in the fast break points.

1:33.2

First weekend of the tournament, 41 to seven. I like UCLA's chances in this one.

1:36.9

Is he we got a classic game the last time they met in the tournament? Is that going to happen tonight?

1:43.2

I think you're going to get more of a defensive game. I think you're going to get

1:46.0

UCLA really sort of locking down. I think you know, they're second in the Kenpom rankings on defensive

1:52.2

efficiency. And so they're just going to really make sure that Drew Timmy does not get on a role

1:56.7

here. And I think with UCLA, I mean, you're probably talking about some easier transition points for

2:01.2

them than you would be for Gonzaga. And so you just start looking at the numbers. And it's just not
