WEBVTT - Fade This Episode 16 NCAA Tournament 1st Round 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:15.600 Welcome everybody. 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.880 It is episode sixteen of The Fade this podcast. We 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.120 are actually coming to you sponsored by DraftKings Live, well 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.240 not live, it's actually on tape, but kind of live 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.480 like it's live for us here at the NCAA tournament. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.639 It is the day before the first round in Pittsburgh 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.680 and we are here. Kentucky is out on the floor 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.800 right now doing their practice. Before this podcast is over, 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.599 NC State will be out doing their practice, and then 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.480 maybe even Texas Tech depending on how long we go. So, Drew, 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.000 there's music on in the background. I think earlier Billy 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.600 told me it was Travis Scott. I don't know who 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:56.920 is it still Travis Scott? 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:58.440 I don't think so. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.279 No, this is uh no, it's not you don't know. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.120 All right, Well you'll throughout that. Oh wait, this is 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.760 trevs Scott. Yes, it's continuing. Okay, well good. It feels 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.600 like a very long song. I feel like it's been 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.400 on for he performing here. It feels like fifteen minutes. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.080 So you all in the podcast, you're gonna hear that 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:13.800 in the background. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.440 Just stack like it's the musical accompaniment to your favorite 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.479 sports gambling podcast. Drew, we got to Pittsburgh last night 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.759 and today we are going to pick all thirty two 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:26.520 first round games. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.000 Against the spread. Are you excited about that? 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.440 I could not be more excited. We did our morning 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.440 show and I came straight here. I watched South Carolina's 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.039 entire practice. Sitting with South Carolina people, I realize I'm 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.080 kind of wearing their colors. I think they adopted me. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.240 They thought you were. I don't want to be with 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.000 them anymore, but I did have a good hour as 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.160 a game cock earlier. This is by far the fewest 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.480 Kentucky fans I've ever seen in one of these Oh 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.760 not even close. I mean, why do you think that is? Like? 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.400 Why do you I mean, there's like, Pittsburgh's not that 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.760 far away. Why are there only like thirty Kentucky fans here? 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.040 So I saw the first one, Keith from Paducah. He 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.720 was the first to come in during Oakland's practice. And 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.280 I've made a point to try to meet every Kentucky fan, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.000 and there's so few here. I think I actually have 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.680 I think I can name all their hometown. I think 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.679 they'll be here tomorrow, I hope. So this is a 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.760 little disappointing because you know it's not a game day, 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.120 but these practices usually still get a good good amount 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.440 of timon fans. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.160 The Oakland had I counted six people here. You would 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.160 think if you're Oakland, you don't get to come a lot. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.880 Maybe people just don't want to go somewhere on the Wednesday, 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.360 like maybe they're all on their way now and they'll 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.040 be here tomorrow. But there were more South Carolina fans 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.600 than there were Kentucky fans here. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.440 That's probably it being the Thursday Saturday, it cuts more 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.680 into your work week, where a Friday Sunday game you 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.080 can go get to Thursday practices and you're not missing 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.120 as Maybe, but I expect to be much better tomorrow. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.480 Remember when we did our show on the road on 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.440 our tour, Pittsburgh was our smallest crowd. Maybe just do 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.840 Kentucky fans just like they don't live in Pittsburgh. No 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.480 Kentucky fan lives here? Is that possible? 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.200 That? Or it's such a blue collar town literally just working, like. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.600 Do people always like I feel like that's required when 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.919 you talk about Pittsburgh, everybody's just like it's blue collar. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.480 I mean, are there cities where people don't work? 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.520 I know what you're saying, but it kind of does 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.840 feel that way, like if you were if I went 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.240 to the nicest restaurant in Pittsburgh Michelin Star or whatever. Okay, 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.600 I feel like someone could walk into a hoodie and 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.840 hard hat and they would just see them like everyone else. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.560 But if you did that in another city, I just 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.120 feel like you think. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.040 I mean, like, I get it, like it was a 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.040 steel town, and when it was a steel town, I get. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.160 It it was, but it was all that. But like 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.320 all I see are I still I see the. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.440 Same paneras here. I see what's in Oh yeah, they're 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:40.520 all just eating gravel. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.120 I don't mean this to be disrespectful, but everyone I've 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.760 passed on the street, I assume smoked cigarettes. Okay, I 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.520 just I just feel like everyone is grit. That's the worst, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.360 all right, PARADOGM. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.840 I mean cal Perry I think said the word blue 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.400 collar sixty five times. He's during his thing. So anyway, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.520 we're gonna pick the games. We are in the Pittsburgh 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:03.040 Penguins Arena. There you see the uh retired jerseys of 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:09.120 Mario Lemieux and Yahmir Yager, two blue collar guys, and 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.240 it's nice they they've won lots of things. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:13.279 MVPs. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.080 You got Lemieux, Yager, Sidney Crosby at Malcoln, so. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.640 All kinds of big stars. I've had a very eventful 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.360 PPG Arena experience so far, not just being a South 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.800 Carolina fan. I caught my pants on a metal partition 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.400 checking in and they ripped, and I had to ask 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.360 a stranger if my rear ends showing, because I thought 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:32.839 I was gonna to uber home and change pants. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.760 How do you ask a stranger if you're rear it? 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.200 Well? Is the guy right next to me? And I 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.880 felt it rip and I put my hand back there 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.400 and it's ripped, and I kind of had to be like, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:40.960 hey man, am I good or is this I need 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.520 to go home situation? You're good, It's just the pocket. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.520 But that was five minutes after walking in the door. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.880 I do need to ask Pittsburgh. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.680 I'm gonna make a motion you moved the airport somewhat 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.719 closer to the city. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.800 It's billy six and. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.960 A half hours from here to the airport, Like it 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.279 is so far outside of town that what you feel 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:58.760 like you're in a. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.359 Different city, I mean northern attack. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.240 The Cincinnati airport is closer to Cincinnati, and it's in 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.120 a different state than this airport is. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.480 How's your situation today. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.960 It's looking good. I have black ones on today, so 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.200 they're not I'm saving. I'm saving the really white ones 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.320 that I bought in Bowlie Green. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:16.719 I'm saving those for the game tomorrow. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.279 It was a game day. Well, you know, you bought 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.480 them for a long Nashville and we didn't get that. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.440 I'm hoping we get a long steel city here. Yeah. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.799 You know, I wore my bad buddy white shoes in Nashville. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.960 They didn't stay white. That was a bad decision. It 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.800 was it was its time in the rotation and it 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.160 was it's you know, Broadway is now just so filthy. Yeah, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.159 like it's impossible to keep anything clean. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.320 I had some casualties on Broadway. I had a nice 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.640 pair of sunglasses. And I'm sitting at a bar, like 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.719 bellied up in a chair with friends with my glasses, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.839 just sitting there mining their own business, and someone singing 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.120 on the bar just runs and stomps them in there 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.680 a thousand pieces and then runs on stage. And the 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.599 bartender is like, well you should tell him, and I'm like, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:56.960 you want me to just go tap him on the 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.560 shoulder right now, So that was just those are gone. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.440 Yeah, way is becoming like the purge for sorority girls. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.680 Like they're they're falling down and and I'll see group 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.080 of groups of girls walking and if one falls, they 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.479 just keep moving. They're like, you know, you know what, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.080 see you later. We have to get to Jason al 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.840 Dean's you're just gone. You're just gonna have to lay 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:18.839 in the street for a while. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.560 Well, it's because they're the bachelor parties have those like 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.880 ropes that you do, like kindergarten field trips, throw all 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.280 together so if one falls, it's a it's a group group. Faull. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.679 Let me ask you a question. Do you like pedal bikes? 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.400 I enjoyed the day we did it in Lexington, doing 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.800 this show. If I'm in Nashville, no, I don't want 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.720 to be. I mean because everybody everyone in Nashville has 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.839 the same like Nashville ain't ready for us, and like 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.640 they're ready. Yeah they've seen you before, you know what 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.360 they see they're here you, they're here every day. You 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.279 are here every day with just a different face. Nashville 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.320 is actually cleaning those up because at one point they 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.200 were actual buses. I'm not kidding, they're leaving town. I 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.400 passed the dude. He just had his tractor and he 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.720 threw some hay and stuff on the back, and there's 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.640 just nothing a street legally, but you can have a 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.280 golf cart, party wagon. They gotta clean it up. You 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.560 can literally have a wagon. This literally it looks like 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.320 you got done at the farms, like we all got 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.320 an extra hour. I'll hit the Broadway and do a lap. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.400 I mean, that was not a piece of machinery that 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.840 should have been on Broadway transporting people. Well, all right, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.680 so we're gonna pick the games. We're gonna start. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.200 I'm going to go in the order that these games 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.520 will be on television starting Thursday. So hopefully you listen 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.560 to this on Wednesday night. If not, these games will 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.400 have already happened, then you'll know how we did. But 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.800 before we do that, Conference tournament week is over. Thirty 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.480 two tournaments. There were a lot of upsets. All we 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.320 did was pick the winner. So, Billy, how many winners 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.640 did I get? How many winners did Drew get? 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.160 Well, the first edition you had four, Matt and Drew 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.040 had one, and we did the final sixteen. Matt you 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.440 picked two correctly, Yukon in the Big East and Grand 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.240 Canyon in the whack. Oh yeah, and Drew got one. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.280 It was our Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.080 Up came, so Drew got two out of thirty two. Well, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.880 I maintained that first one. You told me to pick sleepers, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.280 so I did four seeds in the lower I I 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.600 was running up pill from the over from the beginning. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.680 You took away my totals, so I tell me I 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.480 got it very good, though I mean to be fair. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.840 I got five out of thirty two and you got two. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.000 That's not very good. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.920 Six, Matt, I got six. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000 Hell, then I'm good. I got six. That's really good. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.760 That's like like eighteen percent. That's pretty good. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.960 It's fine. I feel like starting the real march madness 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:21.240 is now. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.240 We're gonna be good. Okay, so good at picking. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.640 Whole tournaments, we're good at picking games. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.160 So I'm gonna give you the game and then where 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.400 it is, and then Billy is going to give you 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:29.920 the spread. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:30.960 Are you ready to get started? 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:32.800 I'm ready. Are we starting with the playing games? 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.520 No? The playing games? Want? 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.000 Two of them are over and we're not picking the 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.320 one tonight We're gonna start tomorrow and we have in Charlotte, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.800 North Carolina. First game kicks off the tournament at twelve fifteen. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.320 You turn on your TV. You get excited, turn on CBS. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.280 Michigan State, Mississippi State. I feel like Michigan State plays 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.720 the noon game on Thursday every year because I'm always like, yes, tournament, 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.280 no tom Misso this is boring. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:57.199 But what's the spread. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.560 Michigan State is a one point favorite. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.680 I like Mississippi State. I think they're very good. I 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.320 think they're tough, They're they're gritty. I think they do 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.160 what Michigan State does, but this year they do it 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.200 better than Michigan State does it. I'm hedging on the 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.920 Big Ten the whole tournament. I think the Big Ten 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.360 is was bad. This year is overrated. I actually think 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.800 amongst the power conferences, it might have been the fourth 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.920 or fifth best conference. So give me Mississippi State to 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.720 beat the Spartans. I love Mississippi State here. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.520 As soon as the bracket came out, I saw that 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.800 matchup and thought they're winning that one. Izzo's a hot 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.000 tournament name. Heck, they probably shouldn't even be in the 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.520 field if his name isn't tom Izzo. I think Missisipi 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.320 State wins that one, and I think they'll give North 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.520 Carolina a game. I think they're a sleeper team to watch. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.200 They got the freshman guard Josh Hubbard that played so 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.839 well at Kentucky fans. It's a big guy. He always 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.559 ss ssmith smith. You got the Dennis Chris Jans defense. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.000 I think Michigan State's in trouble. In that first game, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.160 a half court shot and it was embarrassing. I mean, 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.160 like he needs to not do that again. Presumably he 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360 does it all the time. Tyler ew is from half 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.600 court and it is nearly money. All right, we will 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.880 wait heard John Calipari is very superstitious about this and 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.080 he won't shoot. And if they make him, he misses 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.960 on purpose. Because I don't remember the game he made 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.959 it and they lost, and he's never done it. See 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.760 he's never done it. It might have even been the 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.679 national champions. I don't know who that man was. He 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.319 shouldn't be allowed to shoot again. Yeah, that's doctor Jeff, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.080 he's the trainer. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.160 Okay, Well we'll let you know who makes it. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.360 Second game, Well, it is Ducaine byu Ducaine, by the way, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.200 is the host of this of this regional and their 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:34.960 media team. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:35.720 I heard this. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.120 Their media team has never hosted a regional or been 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.120 to the NCAA tournament and they have to do it 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.360 on the same day, which is a lot for the 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:48.280 Ducaine media team. So shout out Ducaine media Relations. What 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:48.920 is the spread? 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:49.160 Yeah? 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.360 Nevertheless, b Yu as a nine and a half point 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.200 favorite in this game. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.200 This is a six to eleven matchup. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.000 There are a couple eleven seeds that are favored over 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.360 the six and yet this one they're nine and a 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.600 half point zero underdog, which seems like a lot. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.080 In my goodness. I think that was Grant Darbyshire that 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.280 just made the three. He banked it in from half 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.480 court to uh to get it all right? So nine 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:11.640 and a half? What do you got, Drek? 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.760 Oh, I thought that was gonna be a little lower. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.760 I'm gonna go b What I like. B Yu is 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.079 another Darling I'm watching. I think they're gonna play well. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.160 As a Kentucky guy, you got the Mark Pope connection. Uh. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.040 He picked Taylor Swift as his favorite music. She had 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.080 a pretty good run through the NFL season. So I 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.280 will take the Cougars here. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.119 Yeah, I'm gonna take BYU as well. I think Duquane's 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.079 media team being distracted is gonna hurt. It is because 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.080 you know, you rely on your media team to help 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.679 you with the with the interviews, you know all that, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:39.880 and like half of them are here. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.400 I'm very confused by that. Normally you would take everyone 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.120 with you with your team, like everybody's going to the stop. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.080 Who did they have to like fight to who start? 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.960 They said there are people, They said that the basketball 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:50.800 people are running this. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.520 It was like the gymnastics sids. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.839 And I'm sure those are good people, but are they 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.120 ready for the spotlight of Omaha, Nebraska and all the Mormons. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.920 I don't think they are. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.760 I'm ready, and you know, you know my affinity for 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.200 Mormons against the Spread. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:05.520 We're a Mormon podcast. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.280 Last year it's a Mormon against the Spread. I'm taking 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.520 a Mormon now. The only thing is it's at twelve forty, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.240 which in BYU time is gonna be nine to forty 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:15.760 in the morning. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.200 Do you think that's gonna be an issue? 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.839 They're gonna be sleepy. I don't know that, but I 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.600 get up early. What do you know about Mormon sleeping habits? Nothing? 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.640 Absolutely nothing. But if I were picking sleep in or 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.840 get up early, I would think they're early risers. I 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:31.280 got it. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.240 So, yeah, if you were talking about go to church, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.840 So let's rank when religions wake up. Okay, I'm gonna say. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.560 I'm gonna say Homish people wake up the earliest. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:41.240 Would you agree with you? 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.320 Oh, they're definitely up because they don't have electricity, so 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:43.760 they got it. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.400 Follow this up, Yeah, there are. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.480 So I'm gonna say Homage people wake up the earliest. 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:52.080 I'm going to say Catholics wake up the latest because 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:57.280 they've been drinking. I don't know that. Again, I love all. Really, 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.040 this is not this is not meant to be hurtful 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.760 South real quick. This is we're gonna do all Protestants 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.079 since we're Protestants. I think it's just safer to only 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.240 do I don't know, Hindu sleeping habit. Yeah, so we'll 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.160 do all Protestants and Catholics. We'll throw them in there too. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.880 So Amish earliest, Catholics, latest, Presbyterians, and Episcopals. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.400 They're turing. That's me I tried to tell you. Yeah, 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.680 but our early church service three people, second service can't 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.880 find a seat on my Presbyterians. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.439 So I'm going Amish and then I think presb Episcopals, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:34.439 and Presbyterians. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.760 The next latest, I think Baptist. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.640 Get up early because uh, you know, I got a 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:46.920 Trump rally to go to. I threw my families are 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.600 my family's Baptist. I'm allowed to say that. I think. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.840 So I'm gonna go Amish, then Baptist, no Amish, then 0:13:54.000 --> 0:14:01.360 Church of Christ, then Baptist, then Methodist. Presbyterians, Episcopals, and 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.240 Catholics are last. Do you have anything you would like 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:03.679 to change? 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.160 It's a great ranking. As much as I'd like to 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.080 add more and really stretch this out, I will add 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.880 my Presbyterians. I remember times where Kentucky had like a 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.480 or not excuse me, been an NFL. But the pastor 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.439 is very aware of a game about to start and 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.000 would let the crowd know that congregation know that we're leaving. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.600 Because in the eighties Kentucky would play one game a 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.400 year at noon. That must be what I'm thinking of. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.640 CBS and the churches in Lexington would would would meet 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.440 an hour early so they could all get done and 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.280 go and Kentucky would play. They played Syracuse Saint John's Navy. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.080 It was always like a gen. It was usually Super 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.720 Bowl Sunday. They would usually play that game Houston. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.880 I think they played one time with a chem O 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.080 Lodge one sollance. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.240 Anyway, that gets you ready for the game. So BYU. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.440 We're gonna take BYU to cover what's next? 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.000 Akron and Creighton. Creighton is a twelve and a half 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:54.840 point favorite. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.120 This game is here, it's in Pittsburgh. I'm gonna say 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.440 Akron covers only twelve twelve. Listen, twelve and a half points. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.880 Acron's not far away. You know a thing about across 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:10.800 blue collar It is just like Pittsburgh Craighton. Again, back 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.720 to media distractions. Creighton is the host of the of the. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.440 One in Omaha, so half their media department had to 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.200 stay in Omaha. Akron will cover the twelve and a 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.600 half just Vegas. Find out all the media situations before Sudneys. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:25.800 Is it factored in? 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.680 This is the edge we have is that we we've 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:29.720 we've thought about these. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.760 Things in March madness. I pick underdogs usually, but I'm 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.040 doing favorites. I'm going Craton here again over the twelve 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.480 and a half. Yeah, I think Creighton's gonna put together 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.800 a run. I haven't done my final four completely yet, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.760 but they're in the conversation in that region is my 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.520 final four pick. And then Akron, of course shouldn't even 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.280 be here because of the foul in their conference. Guy 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.280 I did, and I've seen the internet saying he's shaving 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.560 points and then I mean, we saw that kid's face. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.160 He was devastated. Yeah, he just messed up and didn't 0:15:59.160 --> 0:15:59.560 know this school. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.240 Meanst I stayed in first because he has to go 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:02.680 to Kent State, So start with that. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.720 And then if you're gonna go to Kent State, then 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.400 you have a chance to go to the tournament. And 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.960 you foul for people who didn't see fouled intentionally because 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.000 he thought they were behind and they were up one 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.840 four seconds. So but but the thing is Akron, you 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.680 know to who much is given much as expected, They 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.120 were given a trip to the tournament. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.240 I expect him to cover. It's not crazy. For so 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.080 many times we see a team going a run when 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.560 they were split second from being out, So it's not 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.360 not impossible. But I think Creighton might actually be a 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:32.840 year where they go far all right. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.560 Next in Salt Lake City, Utah, Long Beach State with 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.680 Dan Monson, who was fired last week but allowed to 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.240 finish the season and took his team to the tournament. 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.760 They have They have not won a tournament game since 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.800 the eighties. They play Arizona. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.560 Uh, what's the spread, Billy, Arizona's a twenty and a 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:53.920 half point favorite. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.680 Long Beach State is definitely covered half right, Yeah. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.320 I mean you have the story of him getting fired 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.760 going on that run. You also have the story he 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.879 hired Arizona's coach to be his grad assistant in Gonzaga, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.280 Tommy Lloyd at Arizona was his first job was under 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.399 this man, So he can't run him out of the 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.480 gym in the tournament appearance as a twenty point favorite, well, 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.919 they're at least covering that they're not winning, but they 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.080 will keep it close for that connection. I just realized, 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.880 by the way, BYU, No, BYU's in. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.160 Provo, right, it's not it's all Lake Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.720 Long Beach State. I like them. I like this one and. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:31.560 A lot. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.640 Arizona has been upset a lot in the tournament over 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.920 the years by lower seed teams. I don't think they're 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.920 gonna get upset here, but at Long Beach State we'll 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:39.119
