He's not Sears from Bama. He's too crafty with the ball and Florida runs great stuff for all of their guys that free up everyone. Whether it's Houston or Duke, dude is going to have a great championship game.

Uf plays fun style of basketball
And they play almost cleanest in our sec opponents
My other worry (if it was apparent how bad I dont want Duke to win lol).. is that Florida has looked WAY too lax at times in this tournament. They couls have easily lost in the 2nd round to Uconn and they also looked sloppy as he'll against Maryland.
I trust a guy like Clayton probably more than anyone else to get points between Florida and Auburn.. but I think Auburn and Pearl are more dialed in. More experienced.

damn, surprisingly cogent and articulate segment from kinny smiff
ETA - the part about EJ Clayton, not vouching for kinny on anything else

Wow, UF & AU can play. Have to give the devils (my wife says Baker-Mazara is the devil) their due. Yeah, I would definitely say all those freshmen projected 1st round NBA draft picks are better players than Walter Clayton, Jr. cause, you know, 1st round draft pick and all.
I hate to say it, but we've been saying that every step of the way this tournament, even myself. I remember thinking Baylor finally could test them... and then it was "well Arizona is actually a top team".. and then it was that Sears was actually a capable guard and talent to take down Duke. And each time the opponent was badly burned.
I hope you're right about Clayton, but I dont think he's worlds better than Sears. And that Duke length will bother him.
Let's hope Houston takes care of bidness lol.
what the heck is this........i look away from my stream for one second and a concert has broken out lol.
Kentucky beat NCAA Finalists Kansas at Phog and North Carolina at a neutral site by a combined roughly 50 points in 2021-2022…before losing to St. Pete…

Sears was benched in more than a few games because he was giving Bama nothing in large stretches of games this season. Bama had the luxury of having 4 guards that could get it done, so Oats was able and willing to sit a 1st team All American.
The level of play in these games really is putrid.
Yet KenPom would have you believe these are the best four teams of the last 20 years, or something.

True, but they still have that height across the board. When Maluach is off the floor they lose some defense, but Ngongba has improved a lot himself. Knueppel and Proctor give them length on the perimeter. Could be a game where Houston needs Arceneaux to step up, but if that's the case it means Houston is in trouble.
This! Also, there’s NO way! 2015 UK would absolutely curb stomp both those teams!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since we were in the final four.
Roberts needs to play extremely intelligently tonight. You know the stripes have his name circled in the gameplan.
With Auburn losing yet another year the number 1 overall didn't win it all. Only 2024 uconn and 2012 uk n past 15 years.
houston would love to keep a 2 point lead for 40 minute, lol. how you can expect a team as talented as duke not to punch through, i have no idea. houston is going to have to hit a lot of tough shots.
it IS possible, but don’t count on it guys. if houston can out quick them and get to the glass, good. i’m expecting duke to box them out.

I expect Duke to win 85-68
Just don't see the firepower for Houston. Which is too bad because that is championship level defense.
it took houston a lot of effort, but they have secured a couple offensive rebounds. not a bad sign.
It will be why they can't beat a team like Duke.
Have to be able to put the ball in the hole, I don't care how good you are on the defensive end. A kid like Flagg is going to ABUSE them.
Houston’s guards are trying to be hero’s and are killing Houston so far. All the bad 15-footers are going to mean Houston loses by 30.
