And I heard coach Kareem talking about Patino and when he has it right. And even what he said, you know, what he meant was when he has the depth and he has guys contributing and he's not afraid to go to the bench, which he has this year, they've shown that every game, the last eight minutes, you're, you're, you're just done.

And then I saw there's a quote out there from Mike White, the Georgia coach, from early in the year. And it was, it was along the lines of, I've never been in a game for 40 minutes where I had to worry about getting the ball over half court so much. And it's true. I mean, you watch what, I mean, Creighton was up against it, obviously with their lack of depth.

But that eight-minute, I mean, it's just a swoon that comes in. You factor in the garden and whatever. But to your point and what you said, it's going to travel. And they just get up in you. They rebound like complete animals. It doesn't matter who the size is. They're all about it. And... I think Rick's a guy that if they're going to play great defense, the offense will figure itself out.

And they're not they're not going to play one of these bombing teams that shoots the three until they they get to that elite eight spot. So I really like their draw. They're in Providence the first two games and then they got to go west, which I get it. But they played in an NBA arena for home games. So I still believe him. Scott and I have gone back and forth on him all year.

He wants more offense. I get it. But I watch games and I watch teams deteriorate every single game. I mean, I keep going back to that UConn game in the garden earlier this year. I mean, that was, they absolutely manhandled that. I hadn't seen that in years with the UConn team. And that was over in the first, they were up 20 in the first half. So they're not going to be afraid of anything.

They bring the edge to you and that stuff travels. So I'm in on St. John's.

Coming up next. No, I was trying to think of a better tease for it. But I have a bunch of numbers to look at where the SEC is at historically here. We'll do our final four picks and our upset pick that we both have to get on the record. That's next. The beauty of the tourney, it's the underdogs, the chaos, the stories that make you believe it's why we love college basketball.
