00:00Let's lead off with Iowa State versus Purdue.

00:04And what can you say?

00:05We talked about Tamin Lipsy at his 18.4 points per game

00:10versus Braden Smith, the best point guard in the country

00:13at 13.4, 3.5, and nearly nine assists per game.

00:18It is going to be a big-time match with Lipsy,

00:22with Jefferson, with Smith, with Fletcher Lawyer,

00:26with Kaufman-Rendt, with Jacobson.

00:27This will be the first.

00:29I mean, they've both been tested,

00:30but this is going to be a huge, huge matchup

00:32with national championship implications

00:35as Iowa State takes on Purdue, which will be fantastic.

00:40Let's head on to game number two.

00:42Duke-Michigan State.

00:45What I love about these two teams, they don't duck anybody.

00:48Both undefeated, both ranked inside the top 10,

00:53but when we look at this matchup,

00:55it's going to be that matchup in the paint.

00:57It's Cameron Bruiser versus Jackson Kohler.

01:01I talked about the importance of Jackson Kohler

01:04to Michigan State, being a double-double guy.

01:08Well, now he goes against the best big man in the country,

01:12and the Bruiser, Cameron Bruiser.

01:14Can Jackson Kohler hold his own?

01:17Doesn't have to outscore, Cameron,

01:19but can he hold his own in a big-time matchup

01:23between John Shire and Tom Izzo?

01:26Game is in East Lansing, and Izzo should be rocking.

01:30Game number three, Louisville, Indiana.

01:33What can you say about the job that Pat Kelsey

01:37and Darian DeVries has done with these two programs,

01:42lifting up what we talked about before when I talked about Indiana?

01:46Basketball blue broads, basketball royalty.

01:51The NCAA is better when these two teams are at their height,

01:56and they've got two fantastic guards on each side,

02:01Ryan Conwell and Tucker DeVries.

02:04It should be a fantastic matchup and a great atmosphere.

02:08I do believe the game is at Assembly Hall.

02:10I have done the recruiting from Louisville through Indiana,

02:15so that's only about a 90-minute drive,

02:19let's say a two-hour drive from Louisville to Indiana,

02:22so that place will be rocking, big-time matchup

02:25between Louisville and Indiana.

02:27Let's get to Illinois versus Tennessee.

02:32I talk about great coaches.

02:34You hear me talk about this time and time again,

02:35how great of a coach Brad Underwood is.

02:38Kyle and Boswell, one of the best guards in the country,

02:4017 points per game, versus Jacoby Gillespie,

02:43Nick Amant, and Rick Barnes' crew.

02:47Folks, this game will be old school.

02:50Buckle up, because it's going to be dynamite to watch,

02:53as these teams will go absolutely at it

02:57and compete with two of the toughest coaches in the country.

03:02Let's get to our last matchup, and that's Auburn, Arizona.

03:07Auburn at 6-2, first year without Bruce Pearl.

03:10His son is taking over.

03:11I told you my thoughts about it,

03:12but he's got Keyshawn Hall playing really good basketball

03:14at 20.9 points per game, nine rebounds.

03:18Big man is doing work.

03:19I got to Coy Pete, who got off to a tremendous start,

03:23but it slowed down a little bit,

03:25but still giving you 15.6, 5.7.
