00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 1: Spreading the corner ten seconds or maining. So just go

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: show up to the basket.

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Under the basket, it's the.

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Troop for the wind. God make a miracle.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: I chop the water.

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Hit that one from the parking lot and welcome, boys

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,280

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: I am your host, matthew Cox, joined by the usual cast.

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: Of three man. We have characters. There's only three of us.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: That leaves two. KaiA is one in. Jim Root is two.

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: We're here again every Wednesday, a new episode of BBOC

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: talking about all the midweek to late midweek action of

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: college hoops. On today's episode, the same boiler plate format applies,

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: going through a six pack of section ski games, mid majors,

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: big boys, little guys, all that good stuff.

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: Fellows. How are we doing it?

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: Kai?

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Opening thoughts before we get into it.

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: I'm just excited to talk, heeps. Matt per usual. Yes,

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: enthusiasm is mandatory on this podcast.

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Jim, how are you We.

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Got to stay cooking? Matt. We've been barely solid on

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: the pod recently, and I think we should continue to

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: do that. If we have to choose between that and

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: the alternative, I think we should continue to pick winners.

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: The key to our success has been targeting specific, very

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: specific team angles, specifically fading Memphis. We'll talk about Memphis

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: in a tongue in cheek light later on, but let's

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: get right to the live dog of the week where

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: I hammered at Memphis last week. Ray He's got the

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: outright winner. Fun, fun, fun, the Owls who got it done.

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: The group also got Georgia right for thirty six minutes,

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: but then they collapsed down the stretch against Alabama.

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Alabama has that ability to.

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Put on a twenty to zero run in a matter

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: of seconds, and they did that to us. They have

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: all West Virginia got it done, hosting the bear Cats,

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: got a juice, a little spread. There a few money

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: Line dog trailers out there. Hopefully you followed, so I'd

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: give us a two pats on the back for last

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: week's performance, and now we look ahead to this week's

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: slave for Moneyline Dogs of the week, Where's Mine dog?

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 3: U dog? Where's Mine Dog? We got a couple on Wednesday,

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: a couple on Thursday, and as usual, feel free to

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: pepper in some suggestions of your own. I will tolerate that,

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: assuming they're actually good suggestions. Of course, Wednesday, we have

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: Louisville question Mark, Yes we do Louisville Kai they're one O.

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: In their last one kind nice went over Florida State,

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: Tyler Johnson was cooking and sky Clark editioned by subtraction

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: maybe did not play. And yes they beat the Knowles

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: and now they go up to upstate New York where

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: they play Syracuse. Who has read Autrey claiming that walk

56
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: Ons might be singing the floor, So whenever you hear

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: walk On's threatened, that's using Now I could sign for

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: your program. We saw Michigan Juwan Howard give a similar

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: sentiment after his postgame presser, but Ken Pom has this

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: as Syracuse mine as twelve.

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: So you might get a pretty juicy number if you

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: want to.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: Actually bet Louisville on the money line, which sounds like

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: an absolute preposterous proposal, but given the value and who

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: their opponent is, Jim, I do like that one. The

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: other one I'd picked out was our Georgia Bulldogs again

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: going on the road to Mississippi State, playing Chris Jans

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: and the Brittle Bulldogs of Starkville. Dwindlingked up there any

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: thoughts on either of those two I picked out for Wednesday?

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think personnel is pretty enormous on both of them.

71
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm kind of on board the sky Clark edition by subtraction.

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: I think we kind of saw it at Illinois last year.

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: And I know it's only been a game and a half,

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: but when he was out laid against Clemson is when

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: they rallied. They were down like twenty and ended up

76
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: making it somewhat competitive after he got hurt. And then

77
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: again that very solid performance is Florida State, so I'm

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: pretty interested there. Syracuse just kicked Benny Williams off the

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: team too, so you have maybe that aspect. Is that

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: audition by subtraction or is it just a sign of

81
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: the kind of chaos that is surrounding the Orange program

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: right now? And then the other game, Yeah, you said, Dwindling.

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Depth of Mississippi State DJ Jeffries missed almost their entire

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: game over the weekend. He is super important as a defender,

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: multi positional, kind of embodies their style and what makes

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Mississippi State difficult to play against. That said, Missisippi State's

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: played the toughest schedule in the SEC so far for

88
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: ken Pom. It's been a brutal gauntlet of good games

89
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: at home and tough road tests. I think they can

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: kind of get right there. I'm not going to back that,

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: but Matt, I think I am going to jump on

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: Louisville with you, just given the disarray that Syracuse is in, Guy.

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm jumping on Louisville as well, which is crazy to say.

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: From the preseason perspective. Syracuse is a team that I

95
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: liked in the preseason. I thought they would be good.

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 3: Clearly has not happened. The last several games has been terrible.

97
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: It's no surprise at Autry is mad about his team's performances.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: They lost by sixteen at home to Florida State. In

99
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: the last two games, they've lost in pretty big ways,

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: and Boston College was close, but it's still Boston College.

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: They've lost three out of four in Louisville. Look, they're

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: not super incompetent. I kind of buy the Clark addition.

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: By subtraction, the Forestay game was impressive. They only one

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: once on the road this entire season. That was against Miami,

105
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: so they beat up you know, a semi competent team

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: at least compared to Syracuse on the road already for

107
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: some precedents, But it's not the safest bet we'll safe

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: to take Louisville. I take it small for sure, but yeah,

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: I do believe that Syracuse is kind of twisting down

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: the drain a bit.

111
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: So I'll jump on Louisville with you, Matthew.

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, Loisvill's might actually only official play of this section

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: just to full transparency before we get to the Thursday games.

114
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: But I just think the value you'll get there should

115
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: hopefully catch six to one, maybe seven to one, hopefully

116
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: maybe on the other Cardinals against the team. Yeah, Syracuse

117
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: just be completely batten and bruised. All right to Thursday,

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: we go UAB heading down to Florida Atlantic. I believe

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm picking on my als here in this section, but Jim,

120
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: we both reluctantly discussed that in American play they have

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: not been as dominant.

122
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: They are two and seven.

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: AGA's the number in AAC play one in four away

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: from home here, So I'm sorry FAU is on the

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: road or that at home, I've already I'm messing up

126
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: my schedule here is on the road they're on the road,

127
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: thank you. Yes, I have it wrong on the outline,

128
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: but they are on the road. They're one and fourgaans

129
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: number on the road two and seven in league. Both

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: sets up like pretty good spots for uab Jim who

131
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: is playing better and certainly can play to a pretty

132
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: high number given their talent, and they're just their overall

133
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: dynamism that they have at all five positions. The other

134
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: game I picked out here are my Beavers Oregon State

135
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: back at home, who swept the Arizona's and their last

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: home stand struggled on the most recent road trip. But

137
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: different team home and road, as are many of these

138
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: Pac twelve teams, But Oregon State has really been a

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: jeck and hide home v.

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: Road team.

141
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: And I think if you're catching seven points at home,

142
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: you know, moneyline equivalent to three to one. I think

143
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: it's a pretty good bet there against Washington State, who

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: is really good, but again, I think mortal outside of

145
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: their own Bridley confines Jimbo to you thoughts, Yeah.

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: Both of these are really tempting the seven point home dog.

147
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: And you mentioned how good Oregon State has been at home.

148
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: They've shopped the ball really, really well when they're home

149
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: in core Vallas, and yeah, you would be like coming

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: into the year, I've picked this team third in the league.

151
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: A lot of talent thought they would kind of maybe

152
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: not in test with Memphis and FAU at top the league,

153
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: but at least have a chance to do it if

154
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: things broke right. And they struggled early non conference performance

155
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: was kind of odd that it just seemed like they

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: were disjointed. But they're playing well lately and in league

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: play if they haven't really done anything wrong. Their only

158
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: losses are at FAU, which is close most of the game,

159
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: at Charlotte, who sits at eight and one atop the league,

160
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: and at SMU by three. They've been very, very tough

161
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: at home, knocked off Memphis. They won at North Texas,

162
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: which is a rather difficult place to play, so at

163
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: bart Arena. Guy, I'm tempted by both of these. I

164
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: think they're both pretty solid bets. I'm only gonna officially

165
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: go with Oregon State for the show, but I like

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: what Matt's putting down here with you AB two.

167
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I like you AB yep, I certainly do. You're not

168
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna get seven, it won't happen.

169
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, FAU man, they've been playing with fire just

170
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: about every single game in the American They come back

171
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: and they end up winning because they're a poised team

172
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: and they don't panic. But it's still getting a little

173
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: bit dicey, and maybe has been very good lately, agreed Jim. Preseason,

174
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: we thought this team would be pretty darn good, even

175
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: in Kim Palm. They were a top one hundred team

176
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: in the preseason, competed with Bradley and Clemson. Right off

177
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: the bat beat Maryland. They're six and one against the

178
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: spread their last seven games. They clearly are playing better.

179
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: FAU not so much.

180
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: In fact, if you filter and Bartrovic for the last

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: couple weeks of the season, u AB would be favored

182
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: by three or four points. So I think this would

183
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: be a good bet for the Blazers here, So I'm

184
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: riding with them. You know, I was gonna endurese Oregon State.

185
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to back out of it. I've been really

186
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: impressive to wash with Wazoo lately. I'm going to stay away.

187
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: But I do respect a bet on the Beavers, Matthew,

188
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: because they are a lot tougher at home. Plus seven

189
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: would be tempting. Money line I'm not going to go there.

190
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: It's great, Kyle, you got me in on you AB.

191
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm driving. I like talk through it, like I thought

192
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: it was a strong bet, and so why would I

193
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: not take it. I'd just be mad at myself for

194
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: talking through it and not taking it. So Matt, I'm

195
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: taking both your Thursday bets.

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 3: All right? Good, Hey, you're welcome to feel free to

197
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: hijack any of my suggestions. I will not be taking

198
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: UAB moneyline. I will probably betting them against the spread.

199
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: I just think the late game execution for FAU is

200
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: light years better than UAB from what.

201
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: I witnessed so far.

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: I like how you guys picked out the Rice in

203
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: Memphis angles Rice playing at home against SMU, a team

204
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: that was much better at home to start the year,

205
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: but then the recent trends have actually flip flopp. They've

206
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: been better away from Houston and they have been at home.

207
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: But if you're getting the money line equivalent of a

208
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: plus nine, it's a pretty good number against SMU, who

209
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: clearly has leveled off. They have not been as dominant

210
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: as we saw the first two months of the year.

211
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: And then Memphis, you know, they just squeak by who

212
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: do they just beat really at home by they were

213
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: They go to Temple, a tough place to go play,

214
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: especially Temple playing better. Just lost in overtime by twelve.

215
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 3: Sorry to minus or plus ten and a half al

216
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: backers against Tulane, but clearly a confident team in Memphis

217
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: is still busting at the seams. I'm taking neither, but

218
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: just two more for your considerations. Kai, run through your

219
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: official money line slate for this week. Yeah, just real

220
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: quick on SMU Yeah, Owe and four against the spread,

221
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: last for Rice or too gets the spread. Last six

222
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: two teams opposite directions. Not taking anything there.

223
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Temple sucks.

224
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 3: I'm not going back to. Yeah, I'm going believe the

225
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: little hold your nose money line there and then you

226
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 3: ad be.

227
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I really think they have a good chance to win

228
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: out right.

229
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: Hey, if they don't, fantastic, I love that they you

230
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: and I wish nothing but success for that program.

231
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: So this is good. This is a win win for

232
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: me both ways here.

233
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to join Kai on Louisville and UAB

234
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: also going to give that the swing out in Corvallis

235
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: with the Oregon State taking non Washington State trying to

236
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: build an NCAA tournament case, and then I am going

237
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: to go Rice Matthew. I'm I'm not brave enough to

238
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: take Temple and that kind of cobbled together roster with

239
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: no size against Memphis, but I will go with the

240
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: allos at home against SMU. It just feels like SMU

241
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: is becoming a lot more mortal lately. I mentioned their

242
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: their ats trending downwards. I will take Rice back to

243
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: back weeks. You inspired me with your Rice take last week.

244
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: Thank you, uh more of an anti inspo against Memphis,

245
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: but glad that it worked out in Rice's favor. But yeah,

246
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 3: SMU four straight games decided by five points or less,

247
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: so tough to know exactly a team that's routing teams

248
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: as we saw earlier in the season. And for me,

249
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: just Louisville so one and done. Come on, Kenny Payne,

250
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: deliver for me please. We move forward to section number two.

251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: Blowout City Fire. Decent week last week for the boys,

252
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: A couple of squeaky covers. If we're looking at this

253
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: of did we pick blowouts that would cover Colgate did

254
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: win by nineteen that would be a good enough for

255
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: a cover At the closing number U again continue to

256
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: pick on those Patriot teams at the bottom of the barrel.

257
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: That's just aren't that good. Colgate typically plays better against

258
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: those teams mentioned Memphis at length. We won't need this.

259
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought was gonna blow out Rice. I did,

260
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: I really did.

261
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: It's okay, you're forgiven. And then South Florida, I'm sorry,

262
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: South Florida. USF the other USF, the West Coast USF

263
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: San Francisco beat San Diego by sixteen points. That was

264
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: basically the push or a cover a non cover, depending

265
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: on what closing number you would have gotten there. I

266
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: was surprised that the Terrrero's hung around for as long

267
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: as they did with the Dons, just giving how those

268
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: teams profile. But look ahead and my first selection option

269
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: for this week stays in the WC. That's Gonzaga hosting Portland,

270
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: who has become kind of a you know, a pinata

271
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: in the WCC. My guys Chancy Leagans just cannot get

272
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: any defense from his pilots, the Zags laying twenty five

273
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: according to Ken Pop.

274
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: We'll see where that actually opens up.

275
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: That's a big number, but it doesn't feel like the

276
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: pilots kay have any hope of guarding Gonzaga. And then

277
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: another team that we like at home, Indiana State hosting Valpo.

278
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Now this one's tricky because they're off that big win

279
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: that you two are both at in person against Drake.

280
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Valpo comes to town. Are they playing inspired ball? I

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: just think Indiana State takes me to the woodshed spot

282
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: agnostic two for Wednesday. Kai any interest in Lowe's lay

283
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: in the wood.

284
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think both are are worth it.

285
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: I would say Gonzaga more so because, yeah, the spot

286
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 3: coming off of Saint Mary's loss, Portland is not the

287
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: Portland of last season that the magical team.

288
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: Well they have, they've won two straight.

289
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: I mean they haven't been rolling over lately, but I

290
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: don't think they can bet with the Gonzaga's level. You

291
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: saw them lose by like forty to Saint Mary's. I

292
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: just don't think they step up well against the elite

293
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: teams of the league, of which there are two maybe three.

294
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like Gonzaga, They're a lot. Any in

295
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: the State's incredible. I don't think Valpo's gonna hang around, Jim,

296
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: but I like that one a little bit less. Just

297
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: just given me the emotional victory over Drake. Crowd couldn't

298
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: be any better that night. So I'll endorse Gonzaga and

299
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: maybe fence right Indiana State.

300
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana State's just fun to back. Is a big

301
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: favorite because the offense can explode. But I'm with you, guys, Gonzaga.

302
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: It's like, weirdly a by low of a minus twenty

303
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: five favorite and a cell high of a twenty five

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: point dog considering Portland's lost or one two in a row.

305
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: But they just can't get healthy. Man Tyler Harris returned

306
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: for two games, then has missed the two wins that

307
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: they've had. Corona's been out for a long time. He's

308
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: like the actual interior weapon they've got. Matt the big

309
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: Japanese guy, Yamanucci Williams been in there, but not like fully.

310
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't clear. It seem like he's fully himself. They

311
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: just can't stop anybody. You can score insiding and score outside.

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: Their defensive rating in league play is one hundred and

313
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: twenty two. That's one hundred and twenty two points for

314
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: one hundred possessions. Gonzaga is a great offense, and at

315
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: home in Spokane for a loss, it all adds up

316
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: to me, Matthew, I'll be riding those acts.

317
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have raised concern or sound of the

318
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: alarm bells of Portland when Leagans was so geeked about

319
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Yaminuci Williams of Lamar transfer in the offseason discussion. So

320
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: that's sort of an emblematic where this team is right

321
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: now talent wise. One more for consideration. On Thursday, Detroit

322
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: mercy and no teams have had any mercy against them

323
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: this season, looking for their first win on the year,

324
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: catching twenty points at right state, A team that can

325
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: certainly beat teams that are worse than them by big,

326
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: big margins.

327
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

328
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: I think Detroit sort of at this point when you're

329
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty, I think MHM shouts to the horizon.

330
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: By the way, two of the bottom four teams in

331
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: the country are in the horizon this season. But yeah,

332
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: tough to say there's value on fading Detroit at this point.

333
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: Kai on the raid is at home or is it

334
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: just like a stupid spread where it's not even worth considering.

335
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, not really. I think they can name their number

336
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: in terms of points score.

337
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: I think they'll score at least one hundred, you know,

338
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: probably one hundred and ten tarm of the best offense

339
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: in the league against the worst defense, and I don't

340
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: think either stat is particularly close, So I think it's

341
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: gonna be points points points for Right State. We'll see

342
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: how much Right State cares about playing defense, because that's

343
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: really the only limiting factor.

344
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I'm going to bet the first

345
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: half over in that game, Matt. How's that for a

346
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: little niche market. I think they get up and down

347
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: and maybe in the second half of it's a blowout.

348
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: Right State isn't as incentivized to keep the gas pedal down,

349
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: but I'm envisioning something like fifty six to forty two

350
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: at halftime. I think this is going to be inefficiency

351
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: bonanza on both ends.

352
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, so he plays man at or defense. They

353
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: just don't have any interest on outside of the ball.

354
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: But we shall see time.

355
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: They don't need to they score, so officially.

356
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Who cares exactly Right, you're up ten. You can kind

357
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: of give up some easy ones in transition, No big deal.

358
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: All right, those are lame games. Le's tab out some

368
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: the Week, I'll be honest, A lot of the heavy

369
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: hitters are on Saturday, so stuck you in. The crew

370

Speaker 3: will get you all teed up for those. But we

371
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 3: have iron bolt to break down here, fellas. That's Wednesday,

372
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 3: Alabama at.

373
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Auburn, oh I could feel it should.

374
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: Be a fun one, Kay, Bruce Pearl and the boys

375
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: looking for a big signature murky resume win after their

376
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: tough road trip last week. But Kemp Pom has to

377
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: Auburn minus three. I see a lot of back and

378
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: forth market push and pull with this one. I think

379
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: there's a very a lot of dissenting opinions in the market.

380
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: I guess on both teams.

381
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: Where do you stand on the iron ball? Yeah, this

382
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: is for first place in the SEC. Bama takes a

383
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: pretty nice lead if they win. If they lose, it's

384
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: a tie between Alabama and Auburn. Game one is really

385
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: good as well. In Tuscaloosa. Alabama kind of controlled it

386
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: the entire way. You know, Auburn only lost by four,

387
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: but it was Bama's game start to finish. Very impressive.

388
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: I like Auburn a lot better at home. They clearly

389
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: have not been the same team on the road. Their

390
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 3: defense has been incredible this season in general. I do

391
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: think they give Alabama problems on that inn, or at

392
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: least have the potential to holding them to barely over

393
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: one point per possession in Game one is impressive. They

394
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: did forest turnovers. Mark Sears five turnovers in that first game.

395
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: I think Auburn slaps them back here at home, so

396
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: I lean their way here.

397
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kay.

398
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: You mentioned trusting Auburn at home more. I agree with that.

399
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: I also trust Alabama at home more, and they're not

400
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: at home. They have shot the ball way better at

401
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: home than they have on the road. We know they

402
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: don't live in the mid range. They don't take floaters much.

403
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: It's pretty much rim and three when you're talking to

404
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: Alabama and Auburn is terrific defending the rim. I think

405
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: you get the swell of that atmosphere, the way that

406
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: they elevate the Tigers in the jungle there. So I think, yeah,

407
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Auburn gets the rebuttal victory. Matthew, They've only have one

408
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: quad one win right now. Their profile in the nca

409
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: tournament is like the resume doesn't match up with the metrics,

410
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: so they're hard to seed. I think we start to

411
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: see that correct here. I was against them last week

412
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: on the road. I thought they're kind of overvalued. But

413
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: now back home picking off riding high Alabama. Yeah, I

414
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: like Auburn.

415
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, number five and number seven in Kempom respectively. I

416
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: still hesitant to anoint them both as true elite elite, but.

417
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: They're right there. They're knock, going to have the door.

418
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: Maybe at the end of this game I'll have some

419
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: conviction on either one the other two. To note on Wednesday,

420
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: I'm calling this the Big East Double Bubble Trouble. Two

421
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: matchups with Bubble isshes teams in action. Creighton going to

422
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: Providence Villanova going to Xavier. Villanova is just a whack

423
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: a mole type team, and it feels like their roller

424
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: coaster year is somewhat predictable in a sense. Spots seem

425
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: to be pretty obvious with this team. Whether they play

426
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 3: also whether they play terrible, but it all comes down

427
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 3: to do they make threes and do their opponents make threes?

428
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: Creton at Providence. I think the story here kai is

429
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: Bryce Hopkins not in the lineup, hasn't been for a while.

430
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: Providences still playing pretty well without them, you know, kind

431
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: of gritty, gutty, defensive minded and the Creighton jumps suit

432
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 3: and jays Man losing at home to Butler giving up

433
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty points or whatever that final tally was.

434
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: I am officially worried about my Jay's thoughts on either

435
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: of these two angles bets. Yeah, I've said I've been

436
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 3: shocked by how competitive Province has been without Hopkins. They're

437
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: five and three against the spread. But the kicker here

438
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: is they're one and two against the spread as a

439
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: favorite without Hopkins, and one of those is to Paul.

440
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: So I really do think they play better as a dog.

441
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: They just don't die they're kind of a cockroach. Game

442
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: one against Creighton, if you watch that game, Creyton got

443
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: it by as many as I mean, I want to say,

444
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 3: eighteen Yeah, eighteen points. It looks like it was in

445
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: the bag, and then Providence just did some voodoo magic

446
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: came back. Still almost covered that game that eleven points

447
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: spread as a pick as a small favorite. I really

448
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: don't like backing Providence here. I think Creighton's a much

449
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: better team. Again, Providence has two guys who can score.

450
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: It's Carter and o'duro. You have to think McDermott has

451
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: a good game plan the second time around here.

452
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: So I like Creighton here.

453
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: Jim Crighton's is such a strange team. Defensively, it's like

454
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: they've taken everything that people have ever talked about schematic

455
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: or like mathematically to the extreme, like we're not gonna follow,

456
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: we're not going to force turnovers, but we're going to

457
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: force you into the mid range. You won't get to

458
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: shoot threes. We have Kalkbrenner at the rim, so they're

459
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: just like trusting math and they'll get get defensive rebounds.

460
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: I just I think it can be a problem that

461
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: the other team is always comfortable and always know their spots. Yeah,

462
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: you're just not bothered by Steven Ashworth's un ball pressure

463
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 2: or Baylor Shireman's on ball pressure, and it lets other

464
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: teams get a little bit comfortable sometimes. And at home,

465
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: Providence kind of back against the wall. They just got

466
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: blitzed over the weekend on Sunday at Villanova kind of

467
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: an embarrassing offensive performance. I'm scared enough of Creighton's defensive

468
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: question marks on the road. I'm not going to bet

469
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: this one that I think there's a chance Providence picks

470
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: up a huge eNCA tournament resume win.

471
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: I think I lean that way, But you mentioned the

472
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: Villanova game from the weekend against Province, which is why

473
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: I think it sets up for a good spot for Xavier,

474
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: especially at home, who has been, you know, one of

475
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 3: the strongest home versus road split teams in the country. Now,

476
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: they just went into De Paul and one by a million,

477
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: but that's a that's doesn't count because De Paul's not

478
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: a real team at this point. I think Xavier minus three,

479
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: if that's what the actual number opens, is what kem

480
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: Pom has it.

481
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Kai is a great wager.

482
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: I will be on the x Men if I can

483
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: find that price, I'm sure I'll be shaded up a

484
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: little bit given the markets. So in tune to to

485
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: Nova and especially Xavier at home. But we'll see on Thursday.

486
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 3: Not a lot of action, I'll be honest, kind of

487
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: light week slate, Sorry PAC twelve fans. We will mention

488
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: Arizona at Utah could be a real doozy up on

489
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: the Mountain. Key injury question marks for the Utes here.

490
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: Who's gonna play? Utah did get that big one at

491
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: home despite being short handed against Colorado, but I still

492
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: think they're gonna need all their hands on deck to

493
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: beat Arizona. Ki Roley Wooster not in the lineup. I

494
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: think he's key in this matchup.

495
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: What do you think?

496
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's he lovering came back. That's huge

497
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: against Arizona's front line. Yeah, it's kind of the same

498
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: story a little bit. As the SEC teams Arizona on

499
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: the road, they haven't been you know, fantastic teams. They're

500
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 3: certainly shooting well against them, let's just caveat that. But

501
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: their three losses in conference play have been on the

502
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: road Stanford, Wazoo, Oregon State, and they've had a couple

503
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: wins there, but they're just certainly not the same team.

504
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: Utah one of the toughest places to play in the

505
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: entire country. I would be very hesitant to back Arizona

506
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: at a big ish number here. I'm not sure what

507
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 3: you taught, like plus three or something, because I still

508
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: think the Wildcats are the best team in the country.

509
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, I would. Man, it's really spread depending here, Jim.

510
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: If it's like six, I'm leaning towards Utah. It was

511
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: like three, I'd lean towards Arizona.

512
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I buy that.

513
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: And just to back up what you're saying with Arizona

514
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: on the road, teams are shooting forty three percent from

515
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: three when Arizona's on the road, like Oregon State let

516
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 2: them up Stanford. Yeah, and Stanford SHOT's sixty four percent

517
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: or something from three at Maple Pavilion. So I don't

518
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: think Arizona's is flawed on the road, as people maybe

519
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: making it out to be, because it's been a little

520
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: bit of outlier performances. However, I'm not anxious to backtime

521
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: on the mountain trip. You're going to Utah and then

522
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: you got Colorado over the weekend. I think if they

523
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: beat or if they beat Utah, you bet Colorado on

524
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and vice versa. If Utah takes them

525
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: down here, I think you get a bounce back. But

526
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: this feels like a big time split the Mountain trip.

527
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: Matthew, Yeah, I would agree with that. Real quick shouts

528
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: to Friday.

529
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Why let football have all the fun. Let's bet Friday

530
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: night lights. We have Dayton at VCU.

531
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: You boys were both just at Dayton Arena last weekend.

532
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: Now they go to Richmond to take on the Rams,

533
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: who are obviously trending up right now. Battle from the

534
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: top of the A ten. Dayton at eight to one,

535
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 3: Richmond eight and one, VCU at six and three, still

536
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: two games back. I think VCU at home here gets

537
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: it done. I just think it's an ugly, low scoring game.

538
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: The way the Rams have been defending has been fairly impressive.

539
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: As awesome as Dayton's ben I do feel like they

540
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: are a body short. I worry about their depth. Kay,

541
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: any take on Dayton VC real quick here before we

542
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: get to the mid majors, the Truman majors. I guess

543
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: I'd pay attention for recording this on Tuesday, but I'd

544
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: pay attention to what happens tonight between Dayton and Saint Jose.

545
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 3: If Dayton drops that game, it's hard to see Dayton

546
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: dropping two in a row in this league. They are

547
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: that good, you know, Jim and I saw this team

548
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: in person last weekend as well. They are incredible. Doron

549
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: Holmes is unstoppable. VCU has no chance against Doron Holmes,

550
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 3: absolutely zero chance.

551
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Man.

552
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: VC is tough at home, man, but I really hesitate

553
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: to bet to fade Dayton in this league.

554
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, VC, you also got to figure out Bearstoe's status.

555
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: He missed last game, should be back today.

556
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: Has been to this solid piece for them. Supposed to

557
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: play this week's Ford Tom Kai saying, yeah, this one

558
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: that it's hard to You can't get a feel for

559
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: the spot without knowing what happens in the Tuesday night.

560
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I was there as well.

561
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: Give it anything strong. I'm sure the Friday BBOC pod

562
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: will have a quick take on that game.

563
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 3: All right, Mid Majors, we got a couple of doozies

564
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: this week. Wednesday high Point at unc Asheville. We're going

565
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: to the Big South. High Point has been the darling

566
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 3: of the Mid major kingdom this year. Twenty and four

567
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: overall nine to zero in the league. Mister McKeon going

568
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: to unc Asheville, this should be a round to pick

569
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: because unc Ashville, who got bludgeoned in some non con

570
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: games stepping up in class, has been cruising throughout the

571
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: Big South as they did last year, led by Drew

572
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: pember our boy, the ponytail King, the long haired King.

573
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 3: But high Point got two miles back last out that

574
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: it matters because his sidekick has a gift that has

575
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: been an absolute star. This game is gonna be awesome.

576
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: I don't really have a hard take or hard lean

577
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: in this game. I just wanted to call it to

578
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: your attention as a college basketball fan listener, you should

579
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: be watching this game if you can get on your television.

580
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Kaivt's around a pick while you have an angle a

581
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: leen in this one.

582
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 3: Ashville is my lean. You know, high Point's been fantastic,

583
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: but I still think this team is better. You know

584
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: at home. We certainly saw that to an extreme last season.

585
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: This year they have been covering on the road in

586
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: conference play, though, interestingly enough, despite being nine to zero

587
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 3: high point five and four against the spread, teams are

588
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: competing against them Presbyteria took them to the wire. Winthrop

589
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 3: took them to the wire both those games on the road.

590
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: Asheville even had this game within one point at high

591
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: Point when they played earlier this season. I think Ashville

592
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: gets it done. It's a team that I thought would

593
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: be the best in the league coming into the year

594
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: along with Winthrop, and I still think they have a

595
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 3: chance to be. They're going to have the best player

596
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: on the floor and member that's always going to give

597
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 3: you an advantage to win. Obviously, being at home helps out,

598
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: so I lean towards Ashville.

599
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if high Point wins this, they're taking their ball

600
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: and going home in Big South play like they're going

601
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: to be a major league at the top of the standings.

602
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: But high Point on the road. You mentioned the home

603
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: road splits defensively, like they're just much better at home.

604
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Sounds like a compliment, but they're just that bad defensively

605
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: on the road, like they can't guard anybody. If you

606
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: filter Bart Torrik for just road games, they're three hundred

607
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: and fourth nationally in defense when playing in the road.

608
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: Asheville can really score. So, Matt, this feels like over

609
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: and I do think Asheville gets it done and keeps

610
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: this race at least somewhat close down the stretch of February.

611
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: Here, it does feel like an over I don't Yeah,

612
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: high points defense is I feel like they can play

613
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: defense when they're engaged. They just haven't been engaged all

614
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: that much this year because they're always up by ten

615
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: points or more.

616
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

617
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: You could actually argue the defense is undervalued, but I'm

618
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: not going to go there. I think Pember could actually

619
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: expose them. A quick nod to a Thursday showdown, and

620
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: we've been hitting the coastal is probably known as the

621
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: Colonial pretty hard. In this section, UNC Wilmington at Drexel rematch,

622
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: Kai teed up two teams the top of the totem

623
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: pole there. Drexel took down the Seahawks way back in

624
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: early January. Now the revenge spot starts up here.

625
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: What do you like?

626
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: I think this is a low scoring rock fight that

627
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: the Seahawks prevail on. Yeah, it's Wilmington at Trask For me, Matthews,

628
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: Game one was shooting split bonanza. Drexel forty seven percent

629
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: from three and Wilmington was twenty percent. I don't think

630
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: that's even close to reality. Between these two teams. Not

631
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: that Wilmington's shot well at all this season, but Drexel

632
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: shooting that well is an aberration. They've been shooting that

633
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: well in conference play all year. I think it's due

634
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: to regress, you know. Ats wise, they're one and four

635
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: last five. They've been struggling lately. That's kind of what

636
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: we expected. They're a solid team, but it's mainly the

637
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: defensive end. They stagnate like crazy offensively. I think at

638
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: UNC Wilmington arguably the best home court advantage in the conference.

639
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: I think that comes that comes to fruition in this one.

640
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: So I like Wilmington here.

641
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: Jim, Yeah, I just again, I don't think Drexel is

642
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: the clear cut best team that's going to start to

643
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: separate atop the standings and going to such a difficult environment,

644
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: it's going to be packed house, sold out. Even if

645
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: Wellington gets down early. We've seen over the past year

646
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: and a half this loves to come back from any

647
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: kind of deficit, mostly double digits last year.

648
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: But I don't think they get down double digits here.

649
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: They've got enough bodies to kind of throw at Maury

650
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: Williams inside. It's not like they're going to dominate that matchup,

651
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: but they can neutralize him a little bit. And I

652
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: just trust Trexel, especially justin More a lot less on

653
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: the road Matthew. He can be very erratic in the

654
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: back court for the Dragons, and I think this one

655
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: sets up like a sort of down performance for him.

656
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we thought Direx would be good, but I think

657
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: we all agree we don't trust them in certain spots.

658
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: It's just we've seen enough of the bad too much

659
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: where you know, I know what they truly are. Their

660
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: true colors may shine through here exposed at that rockets

661
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: trask environment. All Right, we pivot to the trash man

662
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: of the week. We'll hit it quick and we'll move forward,

663
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: because nothing exciting to talk about here.

664
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: The trash man pick of the week. I'm the trash man.

665
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it,

666
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: totally unreliable, undependable it that's it. You've been told off.

667
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: How do you like that?

668
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: Good?

669
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: I wanted to give our patriot brethren a reprieve from

670
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: being battered and slapped around on this section, so I

671
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: wanted to rise up in class to find some trash

672
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: in the middle of the trash pile.

673
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: The bigger trash pile.

674
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 3: I find Illanoi Chicago at Illinois State. Who cares Missouri

675
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: Valley game on Wednesday? Interesting angle there here, though, Luke Yaklich,

676
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: former Illinois State man, going back to his former stopping grounds.

677
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: Two bad teams here. Kempom has an Illinois State minus three.

678
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: I think the Flames, who are one and eleven and

679
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: now down to two hundred and Kempom after getting as

680
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: high as.

681
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifteenth.

682
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: I think in early non conference I think at this

683
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: road went Jim. But any take on my trash I

684
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: guess was my question to you?

685
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: No, I just I have no interest in either of

686
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: these teams. I actually thought Illinois State had been worse

687
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: against the spread in league play. They're only five and seven,

688
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: But Illinoi Chicago is one and eleven against the spread

689
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: in league play. Not just straight upstandings, they're the worst ATS.

690
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: We talked about it a little in last week's episode

691
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: in Kaive spotlight section. But they're the worst ATS team

692
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: in league play in the country. Not a horse I'm

693
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: excited to back, so I will stay away from this. Kai.

694
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: I also know that I've been terrible betting State of

695
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: Illinois teams while living here, so it's been it's stay

696
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: away for old Jimbo.

697
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of the most wild splits in the country.

698
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: From an ATS perspective, UIC was eight and two against

699
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: the spread in non con and now they're one and

700
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: eleven against the spread in valley play. It's almost like

701
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: a total give up. I'm not sure what the issue

702
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: is I and against Illinois State. Look, they're not a

703
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: world beater, but they have some talent on their team.

704
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: They're a really old, experienced squad. They've they have won

705
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: five games in league play. Number one free throw temp

706
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: rate in the league against the team that fouls the

707
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 3: most is a pretty good start. You I see not

708
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: very disciplined this season Illinois Stay due for some aggression

709
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: to shooting wise in conference play.

710
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I lean towards the Red Birds here.

711
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: Nothing strong, and again, like Matt said, it's the trash

712
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: Man pick of the week for a reason, and my

713
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: second piece of trash for Thursday. I have zero interest

714
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: in backing Sienna the Saints who had a little bit

715
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: a glimmer of hope when they got Sean d'Or gordon back,

716
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: and now they're just back to being absolutely awful. I

717
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: bet them against Ryder and I think they were down

718
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: to fifty with him the first five minutes. They will

719
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: be hosting the Red Foxes of Marist. Let's just move forward.

720
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: Any take on this game, guys, impossible team to get right.

721
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: They covered last game, but they were down twenty again

722
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: versus to Mount Saint Mary's. It's a really hard team

723
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: to get right.

724
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: If any of the three of Eely do or Gordon

725
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: and tech In are out, I think they're just like

726
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: a artist of AA is likely an under and Techan

727
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: was out last game and banged up.

728
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, Well let's check off Cia, so Cianna, Detroit, Mercy, IPUI.

729
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: We mentioned that's three of the bottom five teams in

730
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: the country. On this program, we cover every team. We

731
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: mean it, We take it seriously. Here spotlight on our

732
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: final section, Matty Macros, we're talking some conference trends.

733
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: Just a quick little trivia batch for you guys.

734
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: In superlative fashion, went through the Ken Palm conference only page.

735
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 3: Fun little page for those who don't use that tool

736
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: out there, kind of see how conferences are trending. You know,

737
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: it sort of explains a lot of the Macro There

738
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: are lots of overs or unders favorites dogs home road splits,

739
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: which we've talked about in prior weeks, but a pretty

740
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: good sample at this point February sixth. So my question

741
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: to you both trivia, what is the most efficient conference today?

742
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: Jim, I had two guesses. I'm going I'm gonna hog

743
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: the ball and guess too, either the WCC or the

744
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: A Sun or my two guesses.

745
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 3: The A Sun is is correct, which makes sense given

746
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 3: let me actually who's leading the charge in the sun.

747
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: Everybody? Eastern Kentucky, no one.

748
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: No one plays any defense except Eastern Kentucky.

749
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: Except it's right.

750
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: They're they're they're the outlier, and there's a reason why

751
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: they're probably a top the standing. It's basically like the

752
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 3: North Dakota State of the Summer in years past, like

753
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: the reason they always win are always good because it's

754
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: the only team that actually plays defense.

755
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: The least efficient conference.

756
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 2: I want k to guess that because I don't have

757
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 2: a I don't have a good guess.

758
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: The Swack close if you catch yes, the mes actually

759
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: a whole two points worse than the Swack. So Miak

760
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: really really struggling to throw in the ocean up there

761
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 3: below one hundred, below an average of less than one

762
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: points possession.

763
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: Not great there, Bob.

764
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: And State Maryland Eastern Shore game, Matthew, and it was horrendous.

765
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: I think it went to overtime and understill was was

766
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: very very safe.

767
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: I'd ask why, But we don't need to get to

768
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: that now, Jim.

769
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: I think I appreciated that.

770
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, there you go.

771
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: The most foul prone conference, basically the which conference is

772
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: most annoying to watch from a flow perspective, Go West,

773
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: Kai to you go West is my goal. Whack forty

774
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: two percent of foul rate. And I've heard a ton

775
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: of groaning on Twitter from Whack fans about how the

776
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: referees have just taken over those games. But I also

777
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: think those teams foul a lot, They pressed a lot.

778
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: There's a league, right, these are teams in the foul constantly.

779
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: So on Twitter, I did not say this, but I

780
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: wanted to say, look in the mirror, all of you,

781
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: what is the least foul prone league, Jim, most flow

782
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: to these games, probably not as good for overs potentially.

783
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking either Ivy or Patriot is Mike.

784
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 3: It's just the smart the smart leagues, right, technically sound smart,

785
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: that's exactly.

786
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: Right and execution based.

787
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that Yelle Princeton game was just awesome. Cornell

788
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: saying what even Cornell presses, they don't Vallaton best home

789
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 3: winning percentage? KAI, what conference has been the friendliest to

790
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: the home teams? We talked about this tangentially a few

791
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 3: weeks ago. But where are we at right now?

792
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess the Big ten and I'm going

793
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: up there.

794
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: Therefore, it is a Conference USA.

795
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 3: Conference USA is number one GYM twenty eight and seven

796
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: eight win rate home.

797
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: I wonder adding like New Mexico State to that is

798
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: part of that, like a lot tougher travel.

799
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: YEP, you've got the ute trip and fiu U Western Kentucky.

800
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 3: It's just like it's sort of like the whack, but

801
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: like the L is the vertical and then the horednal

802
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: is the.

803
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: Is the Conference USA. It's just a weird setup there.

804
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, A Sun second, Pac twelve, third, Hi Big ten,

805
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: fourth in Big twelve, fifth, Mountain West sixth, WHAX seven.

806
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 3: So basically all of those make total sense in terms

807
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 3: of best home win percentages. How about the worst And

808
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: the answer to this question is sub five hundred home

809
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: teams are actually below five hundred and is conference kai.

810
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: This one makes sense to Northeast, I'll go close, but

811
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: no cigar Jim uh hatred mm hmm.

812
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: That's true Atlantics mm hmm.

813
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: Vermont Vermont Park East, uh sixteen and twenty. Our home

814
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 3: teams tough.

815
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: So you want to be playing on the road.

816
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: It's what I was getting was bad.

817
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: Interesting because that conference tournament, I believe is all home

818
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: venues again or they change that this year. So maybe

819
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: you're you actually are gonna be fine if you're not hosting.

820
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: But Vermont always wins, so it doesn't matter.

821
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: It's not worth discussing the Vermont Invitational.

822
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: Nons hateal exactly, a final two for here, the fastest

823
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: league playing well for overs, Jim, it's wack or your sons.

824
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: I was going to say that.

825
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I guess coaches recently, Yeah,

826
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: and even at New.

827
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: And New Hampshire.

828
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: Yes, those four like you know Bryant, you know U

829
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 3: NBC probably, but I don't think you'll realize how like

830
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 3: Albany is just going and blowing, and then yeah, New

831
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 3: Hampshire Nathan Davis going and blowing, going and blowing blowing

832
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 3: and going.

833
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: Way for the listeners out there. My big tip is

834
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: every time Matt asked me a question, I guess too.

835
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 2: That's that's that's my strategy, just sneaking both in there.

836
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: Not good for Jeopardy, good for this format.

837
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 3: Kai slowest conference, the slowest conference in America is.

838
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a tough one. I'm gonna go ivy close,

839
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: give you a second. Guess.

840
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 3: It's featured heavily in our trash man section usually is

841
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: a Patriot. Yeah, patriot sixty four point seven possessions on

842
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 3: average per game.

843
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, not even gross.

844
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like rarely a team that actually wants to

845
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 2: run there. It's it's yeah.

846
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Not a ton of speed or athletes in that league. Shame.

847
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: All right, that's all we have.

848
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 3: I just want to kind of talk about those angles,

849
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: cause I think all those kind of play into over

850
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: vers unders if you're looking to you know, bet especially

851
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 3: get this late in the year. I think some of

852
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: these conference trends means something until they don't. Of course,

853
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 3: until they don't, but until they do or for now

854
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: they do. So there it is a little intel for

855
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 3: you in your betting wallet's fellas. That concludes today's BBOC episode.
