Speaker 2: North Alabama, Milwaukee, buck Now and Texas State. Those are

18
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: my picks for those.

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Uh Texas State, he says, climbing the ladder in the

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: sun Belt.

21
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: I am I'm getting I don't I don't know. This

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Sunbolt is a wild league this year we have You're

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: gonna talking about a wild wild league. I'm looking forward

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: to talking to the OVC with you because that conference

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: is a mess. But I'm looking forward to going through

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: each of these four with you. Jim, which one are

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: you looking forward to talking about the most?

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: Summit? Something's always fun. I just like the venue. It's

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: not actually at the Pentagon, it gets confused every year.

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: It's at a similar, similarly named Sandford Venue in Sioux Falls.

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: But none of the teams play defense. They get up

32
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: and down. There's all scoring, and typically you get some

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: really good games. So some it's the one I'm most

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to, but got a couple of good ones here.

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start in the summit. It is in Sioux Falls,

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: which is about an hour from both South Dakota and

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: South Dakota State, I believe. And yeah, it's at the

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: Sandford Center, which is the same name as where South

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: Dakota plays. All nine teams make it UMKC or Kansas

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: City Now and Oral Roberts will play in the playing

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: game on Wednesday. The winner will play the surprise one

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: seed Omaha. The four or five game is North Dakota

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: State South Dakota, two, seven is Saint Thomas, Denver, and

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: three is South Dakota State. North Dakota Saint Thomas is

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: ineligible for the NCAA Tournament, so if they win it,

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: it would be Omaha that goes, which I guess is

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: noteworthy because Saint Thomas is one of the favorites and

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Omaha is one of the things favorites up top. So

49
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: if they make it, if they both make it, Omaha,

50
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure they still want to win a conference tournament.

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: But it's worth noting that if the meat, if it

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: is Omaha or Saint Thomas, Omaha WI already know they're

53
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: in the NCAA Tournament. So even though Omaha is the

54
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: one seed, they're plus five point fifty. Market does not

55
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: they have Market doesn't believe in Omaha all year. Uh,

56
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: Saint Thomas plus some on FanDuel lines right now, Saint

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: Thomas plus two to seventy. South Dakota State the three seed,

58
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: is the favorite of plus two to twenty. North Dakota

59
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: State's right there with them plus two twenty. And then

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: you have your long shots South Dakota thirty two to one,

61
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: North Dakota forty two to one, Denver eighty to one,

62
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: UMKC twenty nine to one, or Roberts two hundred and

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: fifty to one. I can tell you the market laws.

64
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: North Dakota State always love. They love North Dakota State

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: hate Omaha. It's because North Dakota State, who, by the way,

66
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned as an offensive league. There's no defense, and

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: these teams don't bet them. I mean, we'll see where

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: the lines. But in the tournament they stink someone will

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: fall in love with it, but they never pull up sets.

70
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: They don't profile as a team that can because they

71
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: don't play any defense. There are some really good players

72
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: and some really good offenses, there's no defense. The two

73
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: exceptions are Kansas City, which is all defense and horrendous offense,

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: and then Denver, who actually show value in Denver to

75
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: win this league at eighty to one, I make them

76
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: like forty five to one, and it's mainly because they've

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: been so good of late. They've been the fourth best

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: team per Torvik over the past ten games. And there's

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: no three point luck driven. They figured out life after Brunner,

80
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: who was their stud last year, and they didn't have

81
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Craig for a few games, their best guard, and they

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: have a legit defense. They have two seven footers that

83
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: they didn't have for most of the year that are

84
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: now playing. Their offense is ugly. I mean, it's just

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of mid range shots they turn it over,

86
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: but their defense is real. I don't eighty to one

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: seems a little wild to me. But then again, Denver

88
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: away from home, are they really going to make a run?

89
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what, uh what sticks out to you

90
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: most when you first look at this bracket.

91
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: I want to ask quick question. First, if it is

92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: Saint Thomas over Omaha in the title game, do they

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: go to opposite ends of the court and each cut

94
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: down a net? Like?

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: How does that?

96
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: How does that work?

97
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 2: Didn't happen to happen before?

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: I think so when somebody was clinched and I don't

99
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: remember exactly what they did, if it was maybe the

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: a soun might have had that one year for somebody

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: who was in eligib like Bellerman.

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: Or Eman, I think yeah.

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: And then obviously when Fairley Dickinson beat Perdue, they they

104
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: did not win the tournament. That was actually Merrimack that

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: won it. But yeah, that that would be a very

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: entertaining outcome. Yet, looking at this, you mentioned the market

107
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: loves North Dakota State, and I think people that just

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: kind of loosely look at this league. Love North Dakota

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: State because they take the most threes in the country.

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: They make a ton of them, but they lost six

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: games in the double round robin, Like they're not the

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: best team. I'm prize there atop the odds there, and

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: I think it's partially because Omaha's people are skeptical of them.

114
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: My first instinct was, okay, best player in this conference,

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: most dominant player is Oscar Clough, the monster big man

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: for South Dakota State. But they just lost their point

117
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: guard Owen Larsen to a torn acl and they dropped

118
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: one by sixteen to end the season against your Denver Pioneers.

119
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: So I'm a little lower on South Dakota State. It's

120
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: even zero. Went further on Denver. Over the last five games,

121
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: they're the number one team in the Summit. They're number

122
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: ten in the entire country in two point percentage defense,

123
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: Like they've really figured out that end of the floor.

124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: But I like Saint Thomas Stuckey. I think the fact

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: that everybody's playing for a postseason berth so it's maybe

126
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: not an extra incentive for Saint Thomas to win this,

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: but the fact that they're ineligible this is really their

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and they're super well coached. Johnny Tower's done

129
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: a great job elevating them in four short years from

130
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Division three, like they skip Division two, and they've accumulated

131
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: enough athletes now enough shooting, enough skill to compete in

132
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: this league. And although they have that first round match

133
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: up with Denver, who I agree is a little undervalued,

134
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: I think Saint Thomas gets to that title game, and

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: if it's against Omaha, then we've got that really fun,

136
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: semi meaningless game.

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's with Denver. They didn't have Isaiah Carr for

138
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: like twenty games, and then there are other seven foot

139
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: they didn't have for like twenty games too, and they

140
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: both have been available for the past five That coincides

141
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: with their two point defense. I will say I actually

142
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: I show a little value in Omaha. I make them

143
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: like four to four to four point two to one,

144
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: and you can get like plus five fifty out there.

145
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: They just don't get any respect. I didn't respect them

146
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: all in there. They were running really well from three,

147
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: but they ended up shooting over forty percent from three

148
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: in League Black, Like I have to start to believe it,

149
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, looking at like their pass splits.

150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: It's probably I don't know, there might still be some

151
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: looming regression. The d is shaky, but they're good on

152
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: the defensive glass. They've been a great road team in

153
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: league player they shot forty one percent from three on

154
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: the road. Sutton is a stud. He's just a go

155
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: to guy that can get you a bucket whenever you

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: need it. So I don't know. I think as the

157
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: one seed, I don't think Omaha has get enough respect

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: Saint Thomas. They are great, well balanced offense, elite spacing

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, great shot makers, but the defense is shaky.

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: They can't rebound, they still lacks some size and athleticism,

161
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: and do I really trust their offense away from home?

162
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: At plus two seventy, I can't get there. And mention

163
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: South Dakota State, I'm not there At plus two twenty.

164
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: Ostro cluffs a monster down love he's the best player

165
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: in the league. But this team is not good on

166
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: the road. You mentioned they lost LARTs and they are

167
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 2: great rebounders, but they're probably gonna lose the turnover battle,

168
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: and there they have a super inexperienced backcourt, just like

169
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of freshmen, which is why I think their

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: numbers aren't as good on the road, and you know

171
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: they didn't finish the season strong three forty fourth momentum

172
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: for Hazlo Metrics, they were the sixth best offense in

173
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: the league in road games, the best at home, and

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: there are defenses much worse away from home as well.

175
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: They give up a ton of three, so they can

176
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: just get they they can't stay in front of anyone,

177
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: so they just compact defense, and then they could get

178
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: shot out of the gym. They split with North Dakota

179
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: for what it's worth going down the line, North Dakota

180
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: State at plus two twenty. You mentioned it, but did

181
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: what we didn't mention is Jackson Mooney, Who's the six' ten.

182
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: Unicorn you, go you look back over the past twenty

183
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: five years in college, basketball you're not going to find

184
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: a guy that's six' ten or taller with his assist

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: rate and his three points made, per game, complete unicorn,

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 2: great passer, great vision can do, it all and then

187
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: there's just three point shooters all. Around him he missed

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: the final two games with a. WRIST injury i don't

189
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: know if what his. Status is i'm assuming it was

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: like precautionary and it'll, be fine but maybe. He's not

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: that's something. Worth noting and they were the league's best.

192
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: Road team omahawa is the. Second best part of that

193
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: is because they shot forty one percent, from three and

194
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: they shoot threes at the highest rate in, the country

195
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: and that's kind of what. THEY shoot, i mean it's

196
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: a top it's very rare when you see it's team

197
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: top five in the country in three point a tenth

198
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: rate and top five in three. Point makes their defense is, non,

199
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: existent though for what. It's Worth south dakota they want

200
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: to play. Super fast they don't turn, it over get to.

201
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: The line it's on chaud of fours turners, on defense

202
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 2: defend the three well but. Nothing else teams can crush

203
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: them on the offensive glass and at. The Rim north

204
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: dakota they want to get to, the rim but they're.

205
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: Inefficient there they have some wings who can, go off

206
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: but the defense is. Unspeakably bad they had one league

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: win away, from home and that Was at denver when

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 2: the pilots. Were without they were reeling Them about craig and.

209
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: Their Bigs north dakota's decent on, the glass and Then MENTIONED.

210
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: Denver umkc they're twenty nine to one is the, eight

211
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: SEED which i can't. Get TO but i think part

212
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: of that is they were very unlucky, all year like they,

213
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 2: just won they lost so many. Close games but their

214
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: offense is really bad Outside of brown and then just,

215
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: offensive rebounding they're just a really. PHYSICAL team i think

216
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: they missed, cop, offensively yes like they just needed someone

217
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: else to help. Them out but their defense is the

218
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: best in the league for what it's where they're oh

219
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: and eight in the road and they got blown Out

220
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: by omaha on, both meetings which. Isn't great And Then

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: oral roberts is. JUST bad i mean McBride and more good,

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: offensive players but there's not much there and they'll shoot

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: a ton, of threes get to the line, a ton

224
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 2: they won't get. Any stops oh and eight on. The

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: road there's something About this omaha team, This year like

226
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: you saw that they beat up trash cans and after.

227
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Games and lives are great around.

228
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: That, team yeah and they're the one seed plus five.

229
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: POINT fifty i took A little omaha EVEN though i

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: wasn't a believer in them, all year which means they're

231
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: gonna lose Uh To kansas city and just, a grinder

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: but they're one of the more physical teams in. The

233
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: league And then i've sprinkled just some couch Change. On

234
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: denver what are your final?

235
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: THOUGHTS here i respect doing the little couch. Change, THERE

236
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: yeah i Would say omaha is maybe strong for betting

237
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: value with the price. They're at and again we're not

238
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: huge Believers In North. Kota state they're just really, high

239
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: variants and so maybe they'd be somebody that could give

240
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: a power conference team a fight IN The ncaa tournament

241
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: if they got super hot, in three but in, this

242
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: event not a huge fan of them in our in our.

243
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: Conference team with no defense and then a favor like.

244
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: No sense in the conference tournament. Pool stuck omaha is

245
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: probably not the pick if they're the FOURTH best ods

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: but only the one seed uh that the one we

247
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: kind of dabble in that are, Helping run so not

248
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: as much. Value there, but yeah from a, BETTING standpoint

249
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: i Think the omaha thing. Makes sense they've been much

250
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: better in. League play if you take out the non.

251
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Conference performance they're one of the top two teams in,

252
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: this conference the top Two since, february first so they're

253
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: playing well GOING in i think it does. Make sense

254
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: they're given the given how well, they're playing and the

255
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: injury is Potentially To North dakota State And South.

256
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: Dakota, state yeah injury is definitely. Worth noting, all right

257
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: let's move on TO the. Nec tournament this will be

258
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: played all eight of nine teams. MAKE it i don't

259
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: UNDERSTAND the neec Because mercy hurst was, not Eligible but.

260
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: Lemoyne is but like they changed their rules for a

261
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,239
Speaker 2: third year in, a row so like it was prospective,

262
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: not retrospective which Means, that merciers which would have been

263
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: like the THREE seeds, i think, is Ineligible but lemoine is.

264
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: Not eligible what's That stone?

265
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Hill too they're in it but can't make. The tournament

266
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: so six of the eight only six of the eight

267
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: can Make The?

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: Big, dance Correct And Central connecticut state will make the

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: dance If either lemoyne Or stone hill. Make it it's

270
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: this is, campus Sites So central connecticut we'll have home court,

271
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: advantage throughout so. To speak if they continue. To win

272
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: they have the longest active winning streak in the country.

273
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: At twelve their only losses both were. At home they

274
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: Lost to Wagner And long island in. League play they

275
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: have a top you know this is this is the

276
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: best team. BY far, i mean there's a reason they're

277
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: minus two ten to. Win it like the rest of

278
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: this league is. Really Bad long island's defense is, very

279
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: good but their offense. Is hard they just they want

280
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: to they want to win, the game like fifty to,

281
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: forty eight which IS what i think They Beat Central.

282
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: Connecticut state that might have been the score of like

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: fifty two to fifty. Or something they just take inefficient mid.

284
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: Range shots they just want to, play slow rely on.

285
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: THEIR defense i kind Of Wanted. LONG island I Thought

286
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: Central connecticut state would, be OVERVALUED but i wanted like five,

287
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: to one which it's Not After long islands plus. Three

288
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: FORTY so I don't i think that this LAST year

289
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: i Famously hit wagner. To one i'm. Not there they're

290
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: they're worse, this year and you're getting a, worse price

291
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: and they're less of a high. AREAS team i mean.

292
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: THEIR offense i can't watch. Their offense and they lost

293
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: like two keykogs from last. Year's team They lost Allen

294
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: and uh.

295
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: The Councils at Savure.

296
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: And julian brown are no. Longer there and they didn't really.

297
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: Replace them like their offense. IS bad i can't get

298
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: There with wagner unspeakingly, BAD offense. I can't i can't.

299
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: Watch them they'll press, the zone they're. Good rebounders they they'll.

300
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: Play slow that's the high arrance is like they'll try

301
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: to grind the. Game down but they have the worst

302
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: two point offense in the, country arguably, and uh it's

303
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: just not The. SAME slasher i can't get There. With

304
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: wagner just going through the, Long Shot chicago. State's seven

305
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: they're bad. At everything they have the worst offense in.

306
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: THE league i would say they're one and eighteen on.

307
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: The road they so they're Gonna Play. Long island THEY

308
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: scored i think They Beat on, island somehow but they

309
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: scored thirty NINE at lu in the. First, Meeting No

310
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: chicago state's not. Winning this that's.

311
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: A weird that's a weird matchup, Because, it's Uh The

312
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: chicago state coach went to be an ASSISTANT, at lu

313
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: so he's and he brought like a couple, of PLAYERS

314
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: and i THINK one lau guy Transferred To. Chicago state

315
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: it's this weird kind of intermixing of those. Two teams,

316
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: BUT yeah lau now has the good coach and is.

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: MUCH better i Could See chicago state scoring like forty

318
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: five points in. That, Game Yeah.

319
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: Chicago state we're oddly Almost Beat saint Francis, on saturday

320
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: even though they benched EVERYBODY like i assume they were just,

321
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: resting everybody but a bunch of their kids. Didn't play

322
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: and then it was one of the worst beats of.

323
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: The year they were like up the whole game plus

324
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: catching EIGHT and i have lost by nine. And overtime

325
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: lemoyne is sixty five. To one is the. Eight, seed

326
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: yeah they have a. Decent offense this league is like

327
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: slow paced. Bad offenses that's what you can just the.

328
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Overarching theme lamoyne has a, decent offense the number two

329
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: offense in, league play number one in effective field. Goal

330
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: percentage they Did. LOSE karmity i think the notre name

331
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: transfer to. An injury they'll be they have the worst

332
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: defense in the country in. My opinion they can't. Stop

333
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: anybody they'll be massive Dogs At central connecticut. No thanks

334
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: so that's the and Then, stone hill so we'll start at.

335
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: The bottom so now they want to, play slow they

336
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: take away, the three they shoot. THE three a ton

337
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: d is bad always like mid FOR an. Anyc team,

338
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: THIS year i can't get there with any of the

339
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: five through. Eight seeds anything you want to mention there

340
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: any Intrigue.

341
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: You, no no this one's really. TOP heavy I Mean

342
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: central connecticut has been the best team. All year there

343
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: are one hundred and ten Spots In ken palm ahead

344
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: of the number two team in. The league like they

345
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: have really separated as part of that twelve game. Winning

346
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: streak they're number one, on offense number two on defense in.

347
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: The league they kind of do it on. Both ends

348
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: it's it's tough to figure out an underdog to really invest,

349
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: in here especially with two of them not really having

350
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: the end game of MAKING the. Ncaa tournament. That HURTS

351
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: and i haven't really been a Believer In fairley dickinson all.

352
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: Year either that's kind of the one team you didn't

353
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: touch on. As much but they might have the, best

354
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: player the best scorer in the League In, terrence brown

355
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: but they don't have anything really beyond him offensively. And

356
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: defensively it's not like a. Lockdown unit so not much

357
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: intrigue In. The knights The famous cinderella from two. Years

358
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: ago this, ONE man i have a hard time backing

359
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: Anybody But. Central connecticut they're just that, far ahead and

360
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: where their odds, are at maybe you don't want to.

361
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: Lay it maybe you want to parlay them with a

362
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: favorite in, another conference but that would certainly be my

363
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: lean Yet.

364
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: METCHE longa I. Mean. St francis they have the best

365
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: two point offense in the League with Cranford. And vineta

366
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 2: but it's interesting that they got They play wagner in the.

367
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: First meeting they got Swept, by wagner but each by

368
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: two IN but i think both were, in overtime where

369
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: one was in overtime and the other one was. In

370
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: regulation they played, TWO overtimes i, know That but wagner

371
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: went both. By two it's not a great Matchup For

372
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 2: saint Francis Because saint francis is bad versus, the press

373
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: and they're bad against the mid range three hundred and

374
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: fifty third in, the Country while wagner presses and that's

375
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: all they do is shoot mid range jumpers top twenty

376
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: and mid range of tenth. Th eight so not a

377
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 2: great Matchup For. Saint francis just as far as if

378
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: you're looking at first ROUND, matchups fdu You mentioned they're

379
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: kind of one of the exceptions in that they want to.

380
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: Play fast they do have some three point variants, in

381
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: THEM but, I agree i'm not a BELIEVER. IN fdu

382
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: i can't get there WITH lu i wanted five. TO

383
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: one i just can't trust. Their offense, SO yeah i

384
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: think this is a chalky year FOR the NEC and

385
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: i Hope it's central kind of good state because just

386
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: for the viewing pleasure of, the tournament because they're the

387
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 2: only team that could at least THERE was i was

388
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: listening TO the i was watching the End Of Central

389
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 2: Connecticut state Wagner. ON saturday i was watching the end of.

390
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: That game by, The Way. Central connecticut i'm convinced they,

391
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: they covered they, dunked it but the horn. Went off

392
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: they were up. Like six the horn went off like

393
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: when the balls on, his hand but THE clock i.

394
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: WENT back i watched as. The punch no one gave.

395
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: A ship THIS was i was one of four people.

396
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: Watching this the, announcer said no one will want To

397
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: See Central connecticut state when the bracket. Comes out I'm

398
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: sure florida will be okay With Getting Central. Conneicut state but.

399
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: They did they Like pushed providence They Wonted, saint joe's

400
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: so this team has. Some juice they have a top,

401
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: Under Defense jordan jones is a good. Point guard the

402
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: rest of this league is just bad or Just has

403
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: they're completely there's like they have one one side of

404
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: the ball is.

405
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Completely flawed Anybody But central connecticut will be in a

406
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: playing game Like a sixtec playing game that they're the

407
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: only team can get above.

408
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: That level so official pick is. Chalk here i'm Going

409
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: With central.

410
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: State, yep also and that's that's also PROBABLY who i,

411
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: would bet even at.

412
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: The, prices yeah let me See WHAT i'm i. Make

413
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: them are there any injuries of? NOTE here i don't.

414
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: Think so there's another. Little note it's like a core

415
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: that's been together for a. Few years sellers brought them

416
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: in a bunch of younger guys and they're all pretty

417
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: familiar with, each OTHER which i think is another kind of.

418
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: ENCOURAGING things a bunch of number seniors team that can

419
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: kind of build to this final pinnacle of their college

420
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: careers is potentially winning. The, conference, no yeah not.

421
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: WITH them i met with anyone Else Or. CHICAGO state

422
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: i think they just, rested guys not that, they MATTER

423
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: but i was just going to adjust. Any, teams yeah

424
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: my fairs the minus one, ninety FIVE so i can't

425
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: REALLY bet bnus. Two TEN but i can't. BET it

426
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: i can't make a case for anything. Anyone, ELSE sadly

427
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: i don't See a wagner, this YEAR but i Might

428
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: bet Wagner Against, saint francis, all right for what. It's

429
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: worth wagner won the. First two you're hear a lot

430
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: it's hard to beat a team, three times which. Isn't

431
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: true it's actually it's easier to beat a team three

432
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: times than it is too not and the reason. Is

433
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 2: simple there is some like there's nuance. To it don't

434
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: just follow all. This blindly like sometimes if you, look

435
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: back team lost, two meetings maybe there, was injuries, you

436
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: know maybe there was just really bad three point. Shooting

437
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 2: lot but many times it's just because it's probably a

438
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: bad matchup for, A REASON like i Just mentioned Wagner And.

439
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: Saint Francis saint francis bad against, the press bad against,

440
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: Mid range like there's a reason you probably lost the first.

441
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: Two games do you have any thoughts there on that

442
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: it's hard to beat a team? Three times that we'll hear. A, Bunch.

443
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: YEAH no i don't buy it. At ALL and i

444
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: mean that's the kind of thing you'd have to, adjust

445
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: for like the likelihood they beat them a, third time

446
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: like the win probability, Of it and that's always taken

447
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: out a, factory, like oh the team only wins seventy percent.

448
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Third time, it's, like, well yeah should they be winning

449
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: eighty percent or should they be winning? Sixty percent what's

450
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: the actual? Adjustment factor SO it's i don't put really

451
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: any stock, into it none. With you it's more typically

452
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: indicative of a bad matchup for a plain easily better

453
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: team than it is like a due factor for the

454
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: team that lost the.

455
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: First, two yeah no one ever adjusted because, like Obviously

456
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: whoever duke plays the, third time there's gonna beat them

457
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: a third time because there's so Much better and then

458
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of nuance. In there that's just

459
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: one of those things that's been said for like. Thirty

460
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: years it's someone just said it once ON, like Espn

461
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: Like dick bytel probably said it in nineteen, ninety eight

462
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: and then it's just caught on and then everyone just,

463
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: says it, all right let's move To The Big. South

464
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: tournament which Is In, Johnson. City tennis why is This In, Johnson.

465
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: CITY tennessee i have no idea whether they're going to

466
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: a socung Campus Area, johnson City Where East tennessee state

467
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: is and playing their tournament last year was At. High

468
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: point they're like brand new ARENA and i think a pretty,

469
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: good crowd and now they mix. It up i'm not entirely.

470
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: SURE why i guess this helps the rest of the

471
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: league because high points the, best team so if it

472
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: was That high, point again they'd be even a. Bigger

473
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: favorite but they're a. Significant favorite they are minus two

474
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: fifty to win, this league so even a bigger Favorite

475
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: Than Central. Connecticut state their offense is unbelievable, by some

476
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: by a LOT of i think a lot of. THE analytics,

477
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: i say at top twenty five, Offense nationally is, That, Right, jim.

478
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, twenty fifth m top Thirty. At bartark it's.

479
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Crazy crazy. They're deep their backcourt, is Great although Tomari

480
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 2: and williams like they have a lot of guys like

481
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: they like even who's their other, Point Guard, jeff no

482
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: but the other their their back Up like Petaway.

483
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Or Pettiford the. Kansas transfer he can go.

484
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: Off like on. Certain days like they have a lot.

485
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: Of Depth but williams is A good he's not, great

486
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: defensively but he's a. Great offense he missed the past.

487
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: Couple games i'm not do you know? HIS status, i

488
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: don't and it.

489
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Does matter, it's tough but they are like it's hard

490
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: emer size how, Deep there like there's a chance there

491
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: if you took out their four, best players they'd still

492
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: be the, best player the best team in the league

493
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: because they have a ton. OF depth, I mean williams

494
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: was a double digit Scorer At gardner webb in this

495
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: conference two, years ago Went TO texas A and m

496
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: for two years and then came back and it's really.

497
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Good again BUT so i want him out there for

498
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: the peak version of. High point but they're, still heavy

499
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: heavy favorite even.

500
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Without, him yeah their offense is. Just incredible they have

501
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: so many, shot makers so many guys can get to.

502
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: The rim they play drop on Defense With, bodo bodo

503
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: who anchors that although THEIR defense i think will probably

504
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: it will be an interesting team if they make the

505
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: tournament because their defense, has holes like they they foul

506
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: too much and don't, force turnovers which is always a.

507
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: Troubling combination so their defense, is gettable and you saw

508
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: that in the two meetings against the two Seed Unc

509
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: Asheville wild wild games between those two, unc astrills d is.

510
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 2: Really poor when they're not, forcing turnovers. They'll press they,

511
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: also foul they'll get crushed on. The Offensive glass marsh

512
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: is a good. Point guard he shredded high point. Both times,

513
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: and uh you know you have a Guy like ay

514
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: who can shoot the Lights Out. Solomon salad they do,

515
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: lack depth which is maybe troubling for, this format and

516
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: they have to make up for the rebound deficit with.

517
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: Turnover margin but they have. A lot they can have

518
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: a lot of guys who can excel in the, mid

519
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: range which is what you need to do against tigh.

520
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: Points defense so they put up their. Their games they

521
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 2: there was like one o three ninety nine and one

522
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: oh three and.

523
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: Like, one yeah so like three of the four teams

524
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: hit one hundred in their in their.

525
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: Two, matchups yeah so unc ashwell nine. To one you have.

526
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: A lot you have three teams that are in this

527
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: nine to. One Range, Unc asheville winthrop they're nine. To

528
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: one they're the. Three. Seed fast they want to. Go

529
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: fast You know Talford and harrison are good. Players there

530
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: they want To get we just talked about beating three teams.

531
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Three times how it's easier than some people might lead you.

532
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: To believe They play longwood in the. First round i'm

533
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: hoping that's close to. A pick i, don't know But

534
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: win They're crushed longwood twice in. Both meetings and the

535
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: Reason why winthrop second NEAR proximity a. Tenth three they

536
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: want to get to the rim at. All costs longwood

537
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: three and sixty fourth in near proximity. Percentage defense they're

538
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: the worst two point defense in. The country these two

539
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: teams also headed in complete. Opposite Directions long wood was

540
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: benefited from some three point shooting up for. A while

541
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: winter finished eight. And one they're only lost To. High

542
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: point longwood finished two, and seven, and like if you Look,

543
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: At winter winter puts the run ninety four percentile Transition

544
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: ary longwood transition d. Is HORRENDOUS and i think with

545
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: their got unlucky with their three point defense during League

546
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: playing longwood, STILL overall i think got a. Bit lucky

547
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: the only thing that gives me pause is It's fucking

548
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: longwood in this in, this tournament AND they i think

549
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: They beat winthrop of two of the last, three years

550
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: and they've won it two of the past. Three years

551
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: alters usually just gets them playing their best basketball in.

552
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: This format SO let's, i think but before again. Your

553
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: thoughts radford's the. Four seed they're also around nine. To,

554
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: ONE analytically i think they're the second. Best team Macklin

555
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: and moss good players on. The wings they are the Opposite,

556
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: of winthrop and they want to play. Super slow they're

557
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: shooting like forty percent from Three since. January first i'm

558
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: not sure that's. Really sustainable it's worth noting most of

559
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: that damage is done. At home they do not miss

560
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: from three. AT home i think they shot forty two

561
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: and a half percent from three of home and. League

562
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: play not going to get the play at home in. This,

563
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: format uh they get do get to the line of

564
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: ton and they don't. Miss there they're good on, the

565
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: offensive rebound in the offensive, rebounding department not strong scoring at, the,

566
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: rim compact really, compact defense throwing some some zone. In

567
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: there they Want to they want to play, really slow grind,

568
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: teams down the Opposite, of winthrop which wants to.

569
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Play fast they've got one of the injury concerns where

570
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: we don't know if it Was restaurant macklin sat there, Last,

571
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: game yeah and good luck Finding Big big South. Inside

572
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: intel but their their peak version certainly has him, in

573
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: there so.

574
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: KEEP on i would assume, he rested but we don't know.

575
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: For sure so let's we both Agree That high point

576
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: is clearly the. Best team but among those before we

577
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: get to the, bottom HALF among u N, c a

578
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: which has, Defensive issues Winthrop, and radford which one, of

579
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: them they're all in the, same price all right around nine.

580
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: To one if you were to make a case for

581
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: any one of, those three who would.

582
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: It be i'll make a Case. FOR winthrop i took

583
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: a little nine and a half, to one just because

584
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: of how well they played down. The stretch they did Split,

585
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: with ashville the, two seed so right there on their

586
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: side of, the bracket the each team won, at home Similar.

587
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: ISH martins i don't think there's any like, major matchup

588
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: like insurmountable. Differences there but they've got a lot a

589
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: lot of veterans guys that came back for their. FIFTH

590
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: year i think that matters a. Little Bit and ashville

591
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: last year they were like all Built Around drew pember

592
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: a giant monster in, the paint one of the best

593
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: mid major players in the, entire country and now they

594
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: don't really, have that and they lost for their. FINAL

595
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: seven i think teams started to figure them out a,

596
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: little bit AND so i definitely prefer winterp there because

597
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: of the trajectories of the two And. THEN radford i

598
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: just don't want a team on the side of the

599
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: bracket Of. High Point if i'm going to take a

600
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: shot at similar odds among all three, of them give

601
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: me one of the ones on the opposite side of

602
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: the Bracket in Winter, for ashville just to avoid having

603
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: to play them in. The semis, SO yeah I winterp

604
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: is is definitely my my choice of.

605
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: THOSE three i agree. WITH you i think that's the look.

606
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: As Well winterrop for what, it's worth, THEY played, I

607
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: mean i think they got crushed BY if i call

608
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: let me look.

609
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: It, up yeah they lost both Games high.

610
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: Point By high point in.

611
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Both meetings asheville's got a better chance At, high POINT

612
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: but I think winter is Better, than asheville which is is,

613
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: a weird, you know kind of rock paper scissors.

614
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: Type, thing YEAH and i do like the first round Matchup,

615
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: against longwood who also. Is REELING so I Like, winter's path,

616
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: and yeah the problem Is Man high point's really good

617
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: and they don't really match up. That WELL but, I

618
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: agree i Think it's winter out. Of that out of

619
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: those three in a bo them of, this bracket You

620
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: have presbyterian forty six. To one they're playing better. Of

621
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: late they play. Super slow they neither win the. Turnover

622
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: battle they're bad on, the boards they can't defend at

623
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: the rims, their offenses it's kind of ugly to watch

624
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: a lot of isolation. Mid range don't press the slow

625
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: teams down, force turnovers so you got to be able

626
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: to handle. Their Pressure then longwood already. Mentioned them they

627
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: they're d like it's it's so Bad, it's brollyeah.

628
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: They did Not, replace apolla the big man who Went To.

629
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: Michigan state they just didn't get. Any fives and now

630
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: it's so easy to score at.

631
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: The, rim YEAH so I can't i can't. Trust Them

632
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: charleston southern one hundred and thirty, to one they infamously

633
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: or famously Won, at miami shows you How bad miami was.

634
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: This year they Won at miami earlier, this year they,

635
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: their point their, point GUARD. R. J johnson is?

636
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: He hurt it, Keeps, saying yeah he was kind of

637
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: banged up late in. The, YEAR yeah i think that

638
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: was a, full unrest like he played terrible the game

639
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: before it only played. TWENTY minutes i think it was a.

640
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: Rest thing but but.

641
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: He also might be dealing with. An injury and they

642
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: do not have a backup. Point guard their backup point guard,

643
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: is bad so the drop off is. Very big the

644
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: problem is they will they take away. The three they'll

645
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: get destroyed in the mid Range, by ashville who will happily.

646
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: LIVE there i can't Get behind Charleston sou they're making a.

647
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: Run Here. Gardner webb they want, To play they're the.

648
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: Running bulldogs they want to, play fast but they're kind

649
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: of ineffinihent. Doing so they. Can't shoot they're good on

650
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: the glass getting to. The line they want to attack.

651
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: The rim they they'll mix in some zone. On defense

652
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: the Well boyle gueno didn't play the. Last two he's important.

653
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: TO them i think he's their second. Best player but

654
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: their d, is, bad bad and they have major turn.

655
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Of issues their point guard play, is very. VERY shaky

656
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: i expected More of gardner web, this year, but yeah

657
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: they're in the playing game for, a reason and They're

658
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: playing south Kind, of upstate Who mister dean is fun.

659
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 2: To watch IT'S all i can really say positively For.

660
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 2: The sparts they you're the worst team in the league

661
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 2: and they play. Super fast it's not a. Good combination

662
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: not many positive things to Say about south Count. Of

663
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: upstate so let's. Start anything let's start at the top of.

664
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 2: That bottom if Anything on presbyterian or we already Mentioned

665
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: long when Anything, on presbyterian it's probably.

666
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: Better, Late yeah i'm kind of intrigued. By them it's

667
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: you do increase the variants a little bit by it with,

668
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: their Pace and radford plays super, slow too so you're

669
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: going to get this crawling game where it's probably going

670
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: to be tough for either team to. Really separate that

671
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: gives me. Some intrigue they did split meetings. This year

672
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: both teams actually lost, at HOME so i don't know

673
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: what that really. TELLS you i think it just tells

674
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: you they're pretty. Evenly matched sixty three possessions and fifty,

675
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: eight possessions but both teams scored efficiently because their defenses

676
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: aren't all. THAT strong i think that one's kind of

677
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: a coin flip and really another reason To avoid radford

678
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: at the odds that they're at with kind of, a

679
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: tough slow down matchup to start and then high point.

680
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: On deck that's Not one i'd like to Look. AT

681
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: presbyteria i think it'd be a decent first, ROUND bet.

682
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: I agree and then In The, charleston southern no. Thank

683
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: you and then the eight to Nine Game, gardner webb that's.

684
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: The upstate do you have anything to say on either of?

685
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: THESE teams i could maybe buy the underdog There because

686
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: dean's probably gonna be the best player on. The floor

687
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: but there is a little risk TOO because i think

688
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: heavy rumors he may end up in the portal and

689
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: is he a half foot out the? DOOR already i.

690
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: Don't Know And gardner webb, has talent like they brought

691
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: a couple of guys back this offseason that. Were Boomerangs

692
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: jermaine mann Went to Vanderbilt In georgia state and came

693
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: Back To gardner webb where. He started And Then, Anthony

694
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Seldon wayne seldon's Brother of, kansas fame had Gone to

695
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: rice for a year and came Back To. Gardner, webs

696
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: like there's talent on. That roster it just has not.

697
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Come TOGETHER so i would be more inclined To Back

698
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: gardner webb kind of re elevating to the preseason expectations

699
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: we had.

700
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: For him they turned it over, so, much man and

701
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: they really struggled to end. The year, but yeah there's

702
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: there's some truth to that that you get to these

703
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: conference tournaments revert back to, you know. You can't you

704
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: could do worse things than reverting back to. Preseason priors

705
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: if you're looking to find some long shots in, This format.

706
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: Say either of those teams is going to lose by

707
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: thirty plus To.

708
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: High, POINT yeah I Mean usc. Upstate would i'm Surprised

709
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: high point didn't get to one hundred.

710
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: On them they didn't, have them but those games were

711
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: actually only within, ten SURPRISINGLY.

712
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: And I Believe gardner webb. Got, destroyed Yeah They gardner

713
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: WEBB lost i point ninety six and ninety to. Sixty,

714
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: seven yeah that's so. Not. Great Yeah The, RADFORD presbyterian

715
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 2: I mean radford has good numbers against, the press which

716
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: they're going to See, against presbyterian but They're not they

717
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: can't score at, the rim which Is where presbyterians like.

718
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: Most vulnerable, so yeah and by The way radford does

719
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 2: not match up well With, High POINT so i Can't

720
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 2: see radford Beating, high point which is one REASON why

721
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: i just crossed. Them off another reason why they're not

722
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: only in the same half As. HIGH point i just

723
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: don't like the matchup, with them and they. Could Lose

724
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: the Presbyterian mentioned Winter beat longwood both times destroyed them

725
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: and In Unc Asheville Charleston southern national one by three,

726
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: and eight so those games were actually fairly close in

727
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: the regular season official, pick here are you going chalk With? High?

728
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Point, Yep unfortunately i'm that'd be the most fun FOR the. Ncaa,

729
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: TOURNAMENT anyways.

730
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,800

Speaker 1: Belmat Versus murray state Title game. Saturday night that was

742
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,040

743
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 2: Get, anymore yeah this league looks much Different this it

744
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,600

745
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: linden wood, made it but they're ineligible for. The tournament

746
00:38:55,239 --> 00:39:02,960

747
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: if you're if you want to know about, this league that,

748
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: inefficient offense bad ugly offense across. The, board, yeah like

749
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: it's just. IT'S ugly i think what let's see. They

00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: are let me pull upkembom thirty first and effective field

751
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: goal percentage, twenty ninth in efficiency twenty fifth and. Turnover

752
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 2: percentage you're just going to see lots of ugly, free,

753
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: throws turnover, ugly offense a lot of inefficient mid. Range,

754
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: offense like it's. It's gross, any thoughts high level thoughts ON,

755
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: the obc.

756
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: It was kind of a league that game. TO game

757
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: i mostly stopped betting for the late parts of the

758
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: season and just because it was pretty tough to evaluate

759
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: who was actually. Still trying like the end of, The

760
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Year eastern illinois was eliminated from postseason, coming competition and

761
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: they rattled off like four straight wins against teams that

762
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: still had stuff to. Play for, IT'S like I don't

763
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: i don't know how to, Assess that so that was

764
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: tough to. FIGURE out, I mean simo won this two

765
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: years Ago With brad corn at, the helm and then

766
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: they were terrible, last year. Like horrific offensively bounced right

767
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: back this year and won the regular season by. Multiple

768
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: games so he's at least got the winning pedigree. In

769
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: IT but i don't think they're the most talented team

770
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: and they don't have the, Best player like those are

771
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: two other teams IN, the vc which makes, This Tricky

772
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: like siue has the, Best Player little rocks the, most

773
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: athletic probably the most. Talented team it's a tough one to, Crack.

774
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: Here sucky i'm curious what direction, You're, LOOKING.

775

Speaker 2: Yeah I mean simo plus one sixty, No, thanks no

776
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: there's no value in. That number they'll play drop, on

777
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: defense that, inefficient offense like they're just going to shoot

778
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: a lot of. BAD shots i can't, trust THEM s

779
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: I u e plus two, forty again no thank you

780
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: can't get there at, that price the decent rim defense you're.

781
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: Betting on you're betting on the tailors here, on offense

782
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: And Then. Little rock You Mentioned. Little Rock little rock

783
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: is the best defense in. The league their defense is

784
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: really good With gat Kek and wilkinson leading. The way

785
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: but their offense is you guys are doing Three man

786
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 2: weave is doing a. Live showed you Were Touting. LITTLE rock,

787
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: I said i cannot bet on. That offense that offense

788
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: is a. Tough, watch yeah.

789
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: It was it was built TO Have kk robinson running

790
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: the show and he's missed the entire year, with injury

791
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: and they just didn't have another like, point guard playmaker

792
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: creator to stir. The drink and it's it's showed quick

793
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: mention on. THE prices i don't know if we said,

794
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: this Yet but simo AND S I u e are

795
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: In the, semis already which is part of why they have.

796
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 2: That value but double buys to but double bys To, the.

797
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: Semis yep And Then little Rock And tennessee state are

798
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: sitting there in. The quarters but still don't love that

799
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: that price, on either ESPECIALLY. ON semo i don't love that. Price.

800
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: Yep uh the one that intrigues me the most Is

801
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 2: Probably tennessee state close to five. TO one i mean

802
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: maybe it's mainly just. THE price, i mean they're number

803
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: they're the best team in the Leagues in january First

804
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: for Torviick Is brandon. Weston back that's THAT'S what i

805
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: want to be questionable for like. Three WEEKS everything i,

806
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: SEE it i search his name every before, every Game

807
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: Says brandon weston, Is questionable like he has he been

808
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: waiting to come back for this because.

809
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: He matters he might he might be the best player

810
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: in the league when, He's healthy like he's completely above

811
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: talent wise what the rest of this. League is so if,

812
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: he plays it's a.

813
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 2: Major swing and they're number one and torvik and haven't

814
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 2: had him? How long how many games has? He? Missed

815
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: uh eight and he's? Missed, Eight yeah.

816
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm, seven sorry, excuse me.

817
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 2: Bad counting so and they're still number they're they're the

818
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: best Team since. JANUARY first I know simo got hot down,

819
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: the stretch but, You Know tennessee state There, WITH weston

820
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 2: i think they're the most. Talented team they play, super,

821
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 2: fast fast they're great on the, offensive glass they get

822
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: to the line, a ton they do turn it over way.

823
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 2: Too much that's the one THING that i am concerned

824
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: About With, Tennessee state like they just give away. The

825
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 2: ball but a lot of teams do that in. This

826
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: league SO if i can Find out, Weston's playing i'm, definitely,

827
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: betting well hopefully you get ahead ahead of. The mark

828
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: i'm Definitely Betting tennessee state at plus. FOR eighty i

829
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: just can't get there on the PRICES of smo AND

830
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: S I, U E and i can't Trust The little

831
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 2: rock offense at a worse Price Than. Tennessee state? Is

832
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: that so what are your Thoughts Of, Tennessee, state Like if,

833
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: weston plays they're they're, the, look.

834
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Yeah they're they're super. HIGH upside i would be a

835
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: little INTRIGUED by syu we having to win one less

836
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: Game if. Weston's out so maybe my betting is like

837
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: contingent in this conference and we're recording this On, a

838
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: monday those two teams won't play till like At Least

839
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: tennessee State, plays thursday sy you eat it would then

840
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: Play them friday IN. The semis so kind of have

841
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: to wait and see, on that but that would that

842
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: would be the major swing. For Me if weston's. In, there,

843
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: Yes Agreed tennessee state is. The value, if NOT then

844
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: I would i would.

845
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: Look, elsewhere yeah so if you see that come across in,

846
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: the App because i'll try To GET although i don't

847
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: KNOW if i know, anyone that, LET'S see.

848
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: I Don't Think penny collins would. TELL me i talked

849
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: to him once two off. SEASONS ago i DON'T think

850
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: i have quite the inside scoop.

851
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: With him He's also i'm just looking as you as you.

852
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: Say this an odd Thing With tennessee state is they

853
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: get to the line of ton and follow, a ton

854
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of like free, throw contests and

855
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: they're not that good at, the line which is a

856
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: weird combination. To Have but weston's their best re. Throw shooter,

857
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: so again if, he's in it really changes. Their.

858
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: Outlook, yep yeah if, you see if you see it.

859
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: Come in they Haven't been collins has not been good in.

860
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: This tournament i'm looking back at. Their results have they

861
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 2: ever made? A run they've never made one? Single, Run,

862
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: no no they. HAVE not i mean Their last they've

863
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: had some bad teams.

864
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: And he's he's done okay in. The portal so the

865
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: talent has kind of, been there but just postseason tournament

866
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: setting has not really agreed. With them and maybe it's because,

867
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: you know they want to get up and down and

868
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: this league is a lot more defensive the fastest out of,

869
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: the league so might might just not play up and. That's,

870
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: setting yeah that does worry me a bit.

871
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: As well and then you have like the other, thing

872
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 2: is which is is it's worth noting That if weston does,

873
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: come back they're going to play as you Mentioned, on

874
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: thursday and they'll play the winner Of Linden wood morehead like.

875
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 2: It is it would be like his first. Game back

876
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: you gotta assimilate them into. The offense is The, rusts

877
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: like then you're gonna you've missed all this time and

878
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: then you got to play three games in? Three days is?

879
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: There fatigue so that's worth mentioning. As well looking at

880
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: the bottom of the bottom half of, this league You Have.

881
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: Tennessee tech just they DON'T really. I can't i can't

882
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 2: Really Figure tennessee. TECH out, i mean here's an. Interesting

883
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: Thing tennessee tech is fifty five to One And tennessee

884
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: martin the, eight seed is thirty, to ONE which i.

885
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 2: Don't understand they play each other in the, First Round

886
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: Tennessee tennessee tech swept them and both games went. To overtime,

887
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: but like that's a coin. FLIP game i don't why

888
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 2: is Why Is tennessee martin half the Prices Of.

889
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee, tech yeah that one doesn't really add up just

890
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: going through like, The numbers so it's going to be

891
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: basically a pick. Them game they should be almost the,

892
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: same odds not. BASICALLY double i was.

893
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: Like double triple. Checking INJURY so i, was LIKE so

894
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: i don't Understand That tennessee tech Will Played. Tennessee MARTIN as,

895
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: I Mentioned tennessee tech swept. Both meetings they both went.

896
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: To Overtime tennessee tech shoot a bunch, of threes they

897
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 2: take away, the three they get no. Offensive Rebounds tennessee

898
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: martin they also shoot a ton, of threes they give up.

899
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 2: A bunch they're great on, the Offensive glass martin.

900
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Too much martin's best guards set out in the last game. Good,

901
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: yard yeah and so maybe that should actually tilted More,

902
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: towards tech not not the other.

903
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: Way Around tennessee martin was. Super UNLUCKY like i, just

904
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: mentioned they lost two games in overtime To. Ten tech

905
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: they were one in five and overtime. This YEAR but

906
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: i don't have a strong take on who's winning, that

907
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: game so nothing there. For Me then linden would Is

908
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: h i'm sure they'll be motivated here. To play they

909
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 2: want to, play fast but they might be the worst

910
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 2: shooting team in. The country for, my money. They are

911
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: they cannot shoot, At all horrible half, court offense good half,

912
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: court defense transition d but more had won't. Exploit that

913
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: who they play more had really stumbled down. The stretch

914
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 2: although they had some bad three point shooting lock THEY

915
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 2: shot i think twenty six percent from Three in february

916
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 2: and gave up forty two, percent shooting which was kind.

917
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: Of overdue they're not a great. Shooting team they play,

918
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: super slow can't score at. The rim it's all inefficient

919
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: mid range shocker story of. This league any thoughts on

920
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: the bottom four teams IN.

921
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: THE ovc i spent like twenty minutes trying to Figure

922
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: out morehead five, days ago like before. The weekend, it's

923
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: like why have they lost eight in? A row They

924
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: Got deontay, miles back The big xavier center that has

925
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: started for them for two, years now and it. Didn't

926
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: help like the three games he, came back they still

927
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: didn't really. Do much in last game of, the year

928
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: they set out a couple starters maybe banged, up injuries

929
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: and they finally win AGAIN Against. UT martin i can't

930
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: figure out morehead stayed At All they've it's been quite

931
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: a fall from last Year with Spradland to i'm Not

932
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: sure maddox has the same juice on, the Sideline so

933
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: i'm staying far away.

934
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: From them any thoughts On linden wood do you if

935
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 2: any takes On.

936
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: LINDEN wood i watched them a little earlier in, the

937
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 1: season sometime in the, non conference and, it's, just yeah

938
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: like guys putting their. Head down can we get to?

939
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: The rim Bass and foutrell just want to get to

940
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: the line because the, shooting is like, you said really

941
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: really poor from beyond. The arc not A team i'm overly, interested.

942
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: IN though i just don't think the talent levels all

943
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: the way where it needs. To be and obviously they've

944
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: got a tough path starting in the first round having

945
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: to win. Four, games yeah.

946
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 2: For what, it's Worth linden wood would have morehead split

947
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: their meetings is want each one on each other's. Home,

948
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: COURT yeah i can't get there on any of these

949
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: teams in the. Bottom half, TO me i haven't had

950
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: a great feel for this league, all YEAR so i

951
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: don't have a. Strong take, LAST year I. Loved morehead

952
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: This year i'll probably Throw Someone tennessee STATE if i

953
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: can Find out weston, is playing and that's probably like,

954
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: contest wise that's probably be my pick as the. Three

955
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 2: seed what are your final?

956
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: Thoughts here I'LL Pick sau EDWARDSVILLE because i think as

957
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: LONG as i don't know About west, and Yet Ray

958
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: sean taylor will probably be the best player in the

959
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: tournament and he can really. Go off he's had TWO

960
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: different acl TEARS, at saue so it's kind of nice

961
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: to see him back fully, healthy THERE and i like

962
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: the idea of him going out with a swan song

963
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: of taking care of business in the postseason And Getting

964
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: brian baroni to the TO the. Ncaa Tournament so I'll.

965
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: PICK slue I Wish eastern illinois had made it because

966
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: they were actually like playing awesome down. The stretch they

967
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: won eight or seven of the. Last twelve they won

968
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: four in a row to, end It, Beating Morehead. Little

969
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: rock They beat Simo after, simo clinch but it, was,

970
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: like wow Okay e stern has actually figured it out

971
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: and now unfortunately. They're done, but yeah official PICK.

972
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: Syu, E Yeah rashon taylor, is awesome but don't don't

973
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: See What brian. Taylor too he can get he can,

974
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: get hot he can go FOR like i, don't know

975
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: he's if, he's on he can go for twenty twenty,

976
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: five yep on. A night, so yeah, all right that'll

977
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 2: finish UP The Ovc Quick. Summary summit we'll just do one.

978
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 2: Sentence each we'll go league by. League summit couch Change,

979
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 2: ON denver I think omaha's value is the one catching

980
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: close to six. To One North Dakota State South dakota

981
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 2: state have. INJURY issues I think omaha's. The value Sprinkle

982
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 2: on denver has been really good down, the stretch rare

983
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 2: good defense for this league. Relatively, speaking, Yeah yeah omaha's.

984
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 1: The value the Right bet my Pick Is. SAINT thomas

985
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: i think they do the enact of the chaos theory

986
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: of the team that's ineligible wins the Tournament and omaha.

987
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: Backs, in yeah someone's Gonna. BET omaha i hope that

988
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: they Don't Play saint thomas in. The final it would

989
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: be terrible because they're already be. Locked UP any c.

990
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: THAT'S chalky i can't get to the rest Of The

991
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: Central connecticut state is so much better than the rest of.

992
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: THE league i think it's priced close, to right Maybe

993
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: like i'm the one minus one ninety one minus one,

994
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: ninety FIVE so i probably Won't bet Central, Con, say

995
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: jim you, Parlayed, them, yeah SO but i can't get

996
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: there on any of these. LONG shots i will look

997
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 2: at The bet wagner in the first Round Against. Saint

998
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 2: francis final thoughts here.

999
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: For, you yeah nothing beyond what. You're SAYING just i

1000
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: don't trust any of the bottom. Half Teams central connecticut

1001
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 1: has far and away. Separated themselves this can be a crazy,

1002
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: league sometimes case In point wagner. Last Year but I'm

1003
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna i'm gonna trust the, one seed the, Best Team,

1004
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: Central Connecticut.

1005
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: BIG south i think we Both Agree high point to deserve,

1006
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: it FAVORITE but i think the value here Is. On

1007
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 2: winthrop and then we just finished up WITH. The ovc

1008

1009
00:52:55,360 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: tennessee state but definitely watching the. Injuries there and then

1010
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 2: we'll look To bet Winthrop, against longwood hopefully get a

1011
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: good price there in the. First round it's a. Great matchup,

1023
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: your one sentence thoughts On These. WEST coast i never Bet.

1024
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: THE west i think. ONE year i try to take

1025
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 2: a flow like this is the Dumbest thing i've.

1026
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: Ever, done no.

1027
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 2: Just k zack is minus, one thirty which is basically

1028
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: just like What goo zaga is going to be in

1029
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 2: the In the Championship Against. Saint, mary's, like.

1030
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: YEAH which i was Just Like san francisco is going to,

1031
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: challenge him But Then san Francisco or gonzaga went to

1032
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: they did it At The chase center instead of, on

1033
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: campus but they spanked them to end. The SEASON so

1034
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: I think conzago will be back in the title. Game,

1035
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: THERE yeah.

1036
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 2: I Think It's. KENZAGER sam i think my PICK that

1037
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: I think gonzaga is. Gonna Win but i'm not RUNNING

1038
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 2: the batmanus. One thirty, But Yeah san francisco running like

1039
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: the biggest s Threats Of san francisco who was running

1040
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 2: like a god from three until they Last. Played tampas

1041
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: teams were shooting seventeen Percent, in february twenty two Percent since,

1042
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 2: january first And Then santa clair was on this godlike

1043
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: run from three for.

1044
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: A while.

1045
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: They don't match up Well With. SAINT mary's I Think

1046
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: saint mary's went on like a thirty to nothing run,

1047
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 2: against them uh, this year so we' probably Gonna get

1048
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 2: That's The, chalkies league but, we'll uh we'll talk. About

1049
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: That The valley right could win it or lose. To

00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 2: anybody don't go to Overtime. Versus drake we'll talk about

1057
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,520

1058
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: Upset and bradley Won, at DRAKE so i think they're
