Speaker 1: The Big Vets on Campus podcast podcast PODCA.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 3: Spreading the corn ten seconds or maining to just go

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 3: show up to the basket.

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 4: Under the basket.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: It's the true for the wind God.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: A miracle, I just stop the water hit that.

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: One from the parking lot.

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: Hello and welcome to are a special final four player

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 3: props episode with all eyes on San Antonio.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: We had to get the whole gang together.

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: That means Sean, doctor Nick, Eric Binfor and myself and

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: no pressure to Sean and Nick.

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: But Eric and I went six and oh last week.

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: Actually, now checking seems like the JP top and fiasco

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: sorted itself out.

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Did you guys also go six and oh?

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Sean?

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, well we did go six and oh,

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 5: but it took a few days to get there. Uh,

21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 5: the JT Toppin debacle finally got settled. I mean it

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 5: was the clearest rebound you've ever seen in your entire life.

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 5: The announcer even said it. But for whatever, the scorekeeper

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 5: there gave it to Hawkins. So it took a lot

25
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 5: of like screaming on my end, but we got that result,

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: thank god.

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: So we yeah we went six and oh.

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, they gave it to the guy who was behind

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 6: the three point line and Toppin was under the basket.

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, were they strongly worded letters like how did

31
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: you get in front of the rights at NC double

32
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 3: A overlords de Bible?

33
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: That's wrong?

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: I definitely.

35
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 5: I think I used some curse words, but I tweeted

36
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 5: it out and just got enough traction. I don't know

37
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: if I was personally responsible, but like I felt like

38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: somebody had.

39
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: To, you know, do something about it because it was

40
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: so blatant.

41
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, it took like three days to resolve this thing,

42
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 5: so hopefully that doesn't happen this weekend for anybody.

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Now, before we get into our picks, we're going to

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: go through both national semifinals give out a.

45
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: Pick each in each game.

46
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: We know we can be tricky to find these player props,

47
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: so what we're going to do is make it as

48
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: easy as possible for you. If you're watching now on YouTube.

49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: In the chat, we're gonna have quick slip links that

50
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: are going to link directly to your sports book, So

51
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: all you have to do is click on those, it's

52
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: going to load up, and then you can place your bet.

53
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: Let's get started with the SEC rematch between the Tigers

54
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: and Gators Auburn Florida. Florida really handed it to Auburn

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: on their home floor game a nine point loss, and

56
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: for that effort, they are a short favorite here in

57
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: the rematch, laying two and a half the total set

58
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: at one hundred and fifty nine and a half. Sean,

59
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: talk to me about Alburn's backcourt and what you're targeting

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: for your first player prob.

61
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So for my first prop, I'm gonna go with

62
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: Merrill Kelly under Fournhouse strikeouts. Just kidding, Miles, I gave

63
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 5: that out earlier, Miles Kelly of Auburn. I'm going with

64
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 5: under twelve and a half points at minus one thirty.

65
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: This is actually a Nick and I collab our model

66
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: is showing quite a bit of value on the under,

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: which is interesting because you know, he's been held. He's

68
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: been really stinking it up the past three games. He's

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: been held to eight point or less in three straight

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: games after putting up twenty three against Alabama State in

71
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: the opening round. So he's just been ice cold these

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: last few games. Still taking plenty of shots, so you know,

73
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: normally this might be a decent Bilo situation. Because he

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: is going to bounce back at some point. But even

75
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: if you applied you know, his season long shooting stats

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 5: to the Lasser games, he would have only been expected

77
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 5: to score about eleven and a half points anyway, And

78
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 5: this is a terrible spot to really, you know, be

79
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 5: expecting a bounce back game. As you know, Florida has

80
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: the fifth lowest effective field goal percentage allowed in the country,

81
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: so we still kind of expect them kind of struggle

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 5: shooting the ball, and if anything, he may start taking

83
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 5: fewer shots just given how cold he's been. So it's

84
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 5: kind of going against him in both ways here. So

85
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: we're projecting closer to ten and a half points with

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: quite a.

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Bit of value on these numbers.

88
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: I mean, he has such a lower point total in

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: the way his point distribution is. We're giving him like

90
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: a sixty seven percent chance he stays under twelve and

91
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: a half. If this does ten, you know it's going

92
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: to probably drop to eleven out points. Still like it,

93
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 5: there still about a sixty percent chance he stays under

94
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: eleven and a half points here.

95
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Doctor Nick. This is a collab.

96
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: As Sean said, do you have any concerns about potential

97
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: game flow and this one's turning into a track meets

98
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: seven one hundred and seventy one points scored on the

99
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: planes in their first meeting. If it does hit that

100
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy point threshold, does that start to

101
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: put the model on this projection for this particular player

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: in Jeopardy.

103
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 6: Not really. I mean, you know, the current total is

104
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: right around one sixties, so if it gets up to

105
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 6: one seventy, it's not a massive point increase. And like

106
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 6: Sean said, you know we're showing around ten and a

107
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 6: half as his projection. So if ten points in this

108
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: whole game more are scored, you can assume it's about

109
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 6: four or five for Auburn, and you got to distribute

110
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: that among Jenni, Broom, Patafair, Jones, et cetera. Right, So

111
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 6: you know, even if it gets up into the one seventies,

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 6: I still like the you're here.

113
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: Now, Doctor Nick just mentioned to Hot Pettiford, one of

114
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: my favorite players in college basketball. Mister telephone man, you're

115
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: gonna see him popping those celebrations on any three pointer

116
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: or the whole bench goes nuts. Eric, what do you

117
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: like in terms of his player props in the market

118
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: right now?

119
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys are on some Auburn unders. I'm not

120
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 4: going to spoil what you got coming, Mike, and I

121
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: agree with those statements, but you did mention one hundred

122
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: and seventy one points in the first outing. We do

123
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: have a total around one point sixty here. Someone is

124
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: going to score some points for Auburn, and I lean

125
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: into to hot Pettiford here for that. Again, Auburn team

126
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: total around seventy eight and a half scored eighty one

127
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: in the first game win. They didn't even really play

128
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: very well. We know J and I Broom is banged up,

129
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: just a myriad of injuries for Broom. Pettiford is really

130
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: stepped up in the NCAA tournament here as Auburn has

131
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: shrunk their rotation down to really it's really seven guys,

132
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: call it seven and a half. Chris More might get

133
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: in the game if someone's in foul trouble or something

134
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: and they're gonna need a score. We know Florida is

135
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: going to score or a boatload of points. It could

136
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: turn into it track me, but either way, Pettiford has

137
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: gone over this number in four of five. The only

138
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: game he didn't in the tournament thus far was Michigan State,

139
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: you know, a pretty darn tough defense, and his usage

140
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: rate over these last five games has been nearly twenty

141
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: seven percent, twenty six and a half percent. He's gonna

142
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: take the most shots outside of Jenni Broom on the team.

143
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: You know, if we use his rates for the season

144
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: and project forward and Jenni Broom's a little bit banged up,

145
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: are they gonna try to take him away? Is he

146
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: going to look to pass a little more? Is that

147
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: arm gonna be dangling down down by the side.

148
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: And Pettiford has to step up.

149
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: He's the one guy that can kind of go get

150
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: his own shot, I think for Auburn, and I'm not

151
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 4: sure if they're gonna be able to sneak out a

152
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: win here. So down the stretch we could be seeing

153
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of Pettiford, and I think some points

154
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: are coming for the for the guard, and maybe even

155
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: some more minutes than we've seen.

156
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: You mentioned Jani Broom.

157
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna go under on one of his props

158
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: twenty nine and a half points plus rebounds. It pains

159
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: me as a player that was in the running for

160
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: the Naysmith National Player of the Year consideration. He's been

161
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: so gutty, he's played through so many injuries. Then he

162
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: hyper extends his knee. You don't have to be a

163
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: medical professional to have seen that against Michigan State.

164
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: Also has an.

165
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: Elbow strain in the same game, comes back in the

166
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: adrenalines flow and gets a rebound, knocks down to three.

167
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: That's phenomenal. The kid's a warrior. He's going to play

168
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: through anything in this game. But the fact of the

169
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: matter is you add that to a list of injuries

170
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: that he's already had. His shoulder has not been one

171
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: hundred percent for most of the season, so the potential

172
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: for him not to get to his thirty minute average

173
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: is at least in my opinion, significant because you also

174
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: have Florida being able to throw waves of bodies at him,

175
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: and in the first meeting he did cruise past this number.

176
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 3: But that's without Hankleton coming off the bench for the Gators.

177
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: Just another seven footer who can make it difficult both

178
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: to crash the offensive and defensive glass and also those

179
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: buckets at the rim and near the basket.

180
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: It is not going to be gimmes.

181
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: Hankleton has played twelve minutes per game off the bench

182
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: since the SEC tournament, So just another added big in

183
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: the Florida front court. And then finally, when you look

184
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: at the last game, Michigan was successful with their two

185
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: seven footers getting broom in foul tr He fouled out

186
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: of that game, so I think it could be susceptible

187
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: to a whistle or two in this game. And if so,

188
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: if he has to go to the bench in the

189
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: first half, twenty nine and a half seems to be

190
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: a significantly higher number than I think he could get

191
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: to if he only plays twenty five minutes. So I

192
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: have certainly I have outs in this position with officiating,

193
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: with the injuries, it doesn't feel all that great to

194
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: be rooting for an injury. But I'm hoping that he

195
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: can go under this number of twenty nine and a half.

196
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 7: Head course, shots and Mad Scott spuzz A Beta.

197
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 8: Busha.

198
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: That's so muchius part.

199
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: Keep cheering.

200
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 8: Disappearing freshman with a hot hand shoots and scores.

201
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: That's what marges.

202
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: All right, Let's turn to the second game in the

203
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: Final four in San Antonio. The Duke Blue Devils are

204
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 3: favored by five and a half or six out of

205
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: the market against the Houston Cougar is the total sitting

206
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: at one thirty.

207
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Five and a half. I have a feeling there's going

208
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: to be some unders that showed value. Is that what

209
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: you're seeing, Sean?

210
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

211
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's actually my favorite under of the entire tournament,

212
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: or has been.

213
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: It's l J.

214
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 5: Cryer of Houston to go under two and a half

215
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: rebounds at minus one point fifteen.

216
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: Like I said, I've bet this.

217
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: I think I bet it the first three rounds, at

218
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: least two of the first three rounds, and I believe

219
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 5: two of the games he had like two boards before halftime,

220
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: so everyone's all yelling at me and everything, and then

221
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: sure enough, you know, nothing the rest of the way.

222
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: So these can be a little bit scary because it

223
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: is such a low number, but he's not out there

224
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: trying to get boards. And then last game, luckily I

225
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: took it off because I was all over the under

226
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty six and a half for the

227
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: Tennessee Houston gamers dubbed it and discord the Bunny Blue Invitational.

228
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: But you know, I was I was expecting and you know,

229
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 5: rooting for a ton of potential rebounds to go around.

230
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 5: So you know, I was kind of shocked to see

231
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: him with seven boards, but not really because I expected

232
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 5: that to be a low scoring, ugly game.

233
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: But I'm right back on his under right here. You know.

234
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: He uh, you know, the you know Houston typically you know,

235
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: allows a ton of misshots, a ton of potential rebounds.

236
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 5: But now they're going up against you know, the best

237
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: offense in the entire country and Duke and an excellent

238
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,239
Speaker 5: shooting team, so we're just expecting, you know, fewer rebounds

239
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: to go around. So that's why I'm back on the

240
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 5: Crier under two and a half rebound train here, and

241
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 5: we're projecting at closer two point one with about a

242
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 5: sixty five percent chance to stay under. He hasn't let

243
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: me down yet, so hopefully we can keep this Crier

244
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 5: wagon going here.

245
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Nick, is this another collab or you bring with something

246
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: solo for the Duke?

247
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: He game?

248
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I'm on this one with Sean. We It

249
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 6: was funny we were slacking earlier today and he said

250
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: he got his picks in and I said, you know,

251
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: hit me with them?

252
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: Is one of them, Miles Kelly And.

253
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 6: He was like, yeah, actually, and the other one Crier

254
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 6: And I was like, I knew he was gonna go crier,

255
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 6: so I let him have that one.

256
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: But it is a collapse.

257
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: But I'll give a different pick, and I'm going to

258
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 6: go to the Duke's side of the ball here, and

259
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: I'm going to take Duke's seon James to have three

260
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 6: plus assists. You can get that at plus one seventy

261
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 6: at DraftKings that three six five. They'll have different numbers

262
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 6: here or about the same number there, So a little

263
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 6: half unit play. Look, dukes implied team total here versus

264
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 6: Houston's around seventy seventy one points based off of you know,

265
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 6: the betting lines here. So if we look at the

266
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: eleven games this year where Duke scored seventy five or

267
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 6: less points, James averaged two point four to five assists

268
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 6: in twenty four point five minutes. So that's perfectly one

269
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 6: assists every ten minutes. And that's because a lot of

270
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 6: those games early in the year, when when Duke had

271
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 6: some lower scoring games for them, James was coming off

272
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 6: the bench. But now he's a starter and he's playing

273
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 6: in that twenty eight to thirty minute range most games.

274
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 6: So that's right around what Sean and I have him

275
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 6: projected for, which would be around two point eight to

276
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 6: three assists if he were to play that much. But

277
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 6: of course Houston they allow the fifty fourth highest assist

278
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 6: rate out of three hundred and sixty four Division one teams, right,

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 6: so they definitely allow a higher assist rate than normal

280
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 6: unmade shots. Now, making shots against them is tough, and

281
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 6: that you play at a slow pace, so you know,

282
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 6: we definitely have to adjust that two point eight three

283
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 6: point zero number for those things. You adjusted up for

284
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 6: the higher assist rate, but youst it down for being

285
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 6: harder to score against. And we come right out to

286
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: two point eight and Cooper Flag, right, his shot usage

287
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 6: goes up against these top fifty, top twenty five teams,

288
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: So I expect Sion James to be looking for Cooper

289
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 6: Flag quite a bit here. I don't really want to

290
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 6: ladder this to like four or five plus assists because

291
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 6: of Houston's slow pace. They're great defense, but I think

292
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 6: three plus set plus one seventy is nice because we're

293
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 6: projecting two point eight, which means he's basically you know

294
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 6: that that's the average, so the median will be around

295
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 6: two and a half, so we're projecting it basically a

296
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 6: coin flip on whether he gets three plus assists. So

297
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: I love getting some big plus money here.

298
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: From a national perspective, Cooper Flag Continent Bull. They suck

299
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: up all the auction this team.

300
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: But it seems as though James is a popular guy

301
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: in this episode. Eric, you also have a player prop

302
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: for him.

303
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently Sion James is going to have a big

304
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: game here because I'm on a couple of se on

305
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 4: James or more two or more three pointers in this game.

306
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: Nick broke down some great things as to why he's

307
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: going to help as a facilitator against this Houston defense.

308
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: But I also think their scheme is it's really oddly specific.

309
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: As great of a defense as they are, they are

310
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: hyper aggressive. They blitz ball screen. They call it monster,

311
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: so they even have an intimidating name for the way

312
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: that they play the ball screen. And they trap the

313
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: post every single time. So there's not going to be

314
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: post scoring and you're not going to score out of

315
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: the pick and roll.

316
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: So what does that mean?

317
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: That means a lot of what we call second side

318
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: three point attempts, right, So you see guys skip it

319
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: over the top, you see a blitzing pick and roll,

320
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: you swing it to the next guy and he finds

321
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: somebody over in the opposite side corner. Who is that

322
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: very frequently for Duke Sion James. He's not the primary

323
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: ball handler. He's kind of there to be a three

324
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: and D type guy, and so he should get an

325
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: elevated amount of attempts. He's not a super high volume

326
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: three point shooter, but he is a lethal one. He's

327
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: taken one hundred and eighty one three pointers from last

328
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: season at Tulane and this season at Duke combined, and

329
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: in both of those seasons he's made forty percent. This

330
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: year at Duke, taking probably a lot more uncontested threes

331
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: like he might get this weekend, he's made forty two

332
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: percent of his three pointers. Houston has allowed with that defense,

333
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 4: that trapping, really aggressive defense. They allowed the forty sixth

334
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: highest rate of three pointers in the entire country. We

335
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: just saw Tennessee, who is a somewhat high volume three

336
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: point shooting team, and Perdue, who just wants to run

337
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: the pick and roll with Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman

338
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: h get.

339
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: Up fifty six total threes.

340
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: I think Houston, probably smartly so would rather get beaten

341
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: by seaon James than Cooper Flag and Konkin Nipple and

342
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: all of those guys. So even though he's not a

343
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: super high volume three point shooter, he's a great one,

344
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: and I expect we do see a slight uptick in

345
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: that volume from the way that Houston schemes things on defense,

346
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: and so I think that he's going to be open

347
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: quite a bit and he's a really big time knockdown

348
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: shooter there. So I think we got a shot for

349
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 4: two or three three pointers from James in this one.

350
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: Let's have the three pointers continue to rain down at

351
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: San Antonio. I'm going to go with Milos Uzan three

352
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: or more triples at plus three ten swinging big here

353
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: in the final four. Listen, this offense took a huge

354
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: step forward once he became a consistent threat on the

355
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: perimeter about.

356
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Midway through the season.

357
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: And when you look at his last three team games,

358
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: he's had three or more triples in five of those games.

359
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: And then if you remove the game against SIU Edwardsville,

360
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: that blowout one Verse sixteen matchup, right away, he's averaged

361
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: thirty four minutes per game on the floor. So you

362
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: got the usage, you got the minutes on the floor,

363
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: they're going to look to him. But the big element

364
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: the game within the game here is the Duke defense.

365
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: Their interior defense is fortress like. Even if you get

366
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: by with the screen or off the dribble, they're just

367
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: swadding everything away.

368
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: They got monsters in the lane.

369
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: And for that reason, if Houston has a chance to

370
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: win in this game, they're going to have to take

371
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: a lot of threes, and.

372
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Duke allows for that.

373
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: When you look at Duke's defense this year, they're averaging

374
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: twenty two and a half attempts against them from long range. Also,

375
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: from a game flow perspective, if you go purely by

376
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: the point spread, it stands the reason that Houston's going

377
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: to be playing catch up late in this game and

378
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: firing away from three point range. So at north of

379
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: three to one, I think there's too much value on

380
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: a forty four point five percent shooter from long range.

381
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: He's somebody who can turn the tide for them in

382
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: this game. I think he's at the very least going

383
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: to attempt six to three pointers in this one. You've

384
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: seen huge performances where he's flirted with double digit three

385
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: point attempts, So I think the value is just too

386
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: high to pass up, and it's nice to end the

387
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: episode on something that is a little bit more fun

388
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: to root for it. You know you're gonna be sweating

389
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: out that LJ cryer under on the rebounds, even though

390
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: I agree, I think it's a great bet. A six

391
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: to one rebounding guard who's very has very little interest

392
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: in crashing the glass.

393
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: But we'll end it with.

394
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: You know, something that you can triple your money on,

395
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: So going over you zan three pointers made three at

396
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: plus three ten, All right, that's going to do it

397
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: for us. A reminder that BBOC Live is going live
