So I'm excited. I 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: hope you guys are excited, and I hope everyone listening 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: is also excited. Welcome to March and the madness. Let's 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: find some winners and have a month. Let's get into 30 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the conference tournaments. Let's kick things off. Micha, I'll go 31 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: to you with the Colonial Start. The Colonial is this 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: will start tomorrow Friday time you're listening. This might be 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: today in Washington, d C. This used to be in 34 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: South Charleston, where Charleston would have an advantage, you know, 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: semi home court advantage there. But now it's in d C, 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: which I think is a fair venue for the you know, 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: if you look just geographically, Charleston is the favorite minus 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: one ten Hofstra the second favorite of the top two 39 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: seeds plus one seventy five. Then you have Talsand at 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: plus six fifty unc Wilmington at fifteen to one, and 41 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: then you're kind of getting down into some longer shots. 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: Charleston is that everyone's darling that they think is going 43 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: to come out of this bracket. I should have mentioned 44 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: actually that Hofstra, Charleston, Towsand and UNCW the two teams 45 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: that I mentioned, they have I guess double buys into 46 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the quarters on Sunday because there is a first round 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: game between Hampton and Monmouth. What a game that should be. 48 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: And then you have a bunch of teams playing the 49 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: second round semifinals on Monday, championship on Tuesday, which means 50 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: Hampton or Mona. If you want to get in, you 51 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: got to win five games in five days, and then 52 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: the team's playing in the second round have to win 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: four games in four days, which is certainly no easy tasks. 54 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,279 Speaker 1: So there's a major advantage for the top four seeds. 55 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: Lay it out for us. What are you seeing here 56 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: at how do you think this plays out? Do you 57 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: see any futures value on the board in the C 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: A A where Hobster is actually the one seed? 59 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: So what's interesting? I like the way that this conference 60 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: breaks down. I love a mid major conference that there's 61 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: a huge differential between the top and the bottom. The 62 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: seven through thirteen seeds in this tournament Northeastern three hundred 63 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: and tenth and Ken Palm, North Carolina A and C 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: three fourteen, William and Marry three twenty three. It just 65 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: gets worse as you head back Elon, Stonybrook, Hampton, Monmouth, 66 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: all in that three point thirty to three point fifty 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: five in Ken Palm range. These teams are not winning 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: five games in five days or four games zero chance, 69 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: zero Chance'll talk about who actually has a chance to 70 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: do this. You know, you teed it up with Charleston 71 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: and the Cougars are currently a twelve seeded Bracken Matrix. 72 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: But they got to win, I would imagine to get 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: a bid. I don't think they really have that strong 74 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: at large resume. They bought them away from three. They 75 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: take thirty threes per game, that's the second most in 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: college basketball. They make ten plus, but they only shoot 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: thirty four percent from long range. So it makes them 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: a high variance candidate, which I like at the top 79 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 2: of this because they're not my pick to win this tournament. 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: They're one hundred and seventy six and three point accuracy. 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: But they're also the best offensive rebounding mid major. They're 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: twelve offensive rips per game, that's third nationally, and all 83 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: five starters average double digits. Even their six man, Ben Burnham, 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 2: is averaging nine point six per game. They've all played 85 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: those six guys that played every game this year, so 86 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: they have a lot of continuity. They have great balance, 87 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: So I have respect for them, But when I look 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: at who they have to beat to get this championship 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: in this conference tournament, I don't think it's such a 90 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: great matchup, particularly against Hofstra At Dalton. Bolton played one 91 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: of his worst games of the year in a loss 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: at home against Hofstra about a month ago. That was 93 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: a four point loss, So I think they're vulnerable. So 94 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: what does that open up from a value perspective. Let's 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: start with Hofstra. They've won eleven straight. You know, they're 96 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: plus one eighty two to one to win this tournament 97 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: against the top four seeds. They smoked Wilmington by twenty four, 98 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: they split with Towson, and they upset Charleston on the road. 99 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: So at least we have that actual data point of 100 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: how do they look matching up against these top teams, 101 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: and then from a personnel standpoint, electric backcourt, Tyler Thoms 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: and Strata are fantastic. They're both six to three. Astrata 103 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: can do it all. He's averaging twenty five and four. 104 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: As a team. They're shooting forty seven point eight percent 105 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: from the floor, which is twentieth nationally, and they have 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: one of the best defenses in the CIA. I think 107 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: they offer the best balanced offense to defense in this tournament. 108 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: The issue, naturally is they're pretty small, which makes them 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: a bad rebounding team. They're in the three hundreds and 110 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 2: a lot of meaningful rebounding metrics booth on the offensive 111 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: and defensive glass. They play four guards a lot, and 112 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: both forwards are a little undersized, so that is naturally 113 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: concerning to me. But Tyler Tom has really taken that 114 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: step up to meet Estrata, who was the preseason CAAA 115 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Player of the Year. And the fact is they can 116 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: go together and score sixty points at the drop of 117 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: a hat in single game. So I like the flying 118 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: Dutchman here, the Pride or one of the plays I'm 119 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: gonna put here in the tournament. But then we get 120 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: into my favorite play, which is touson six to one. 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: And when you look at their resume against the top teams, 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: they took Charleston to ot at home, lost by two, 123 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: they split with Hofstra, they beat you UNC Wilmington and 124 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: the regular season finale. And then from a personnel standpoint, 125 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: Nick Timberlake has made that jump to mid major star 126 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: down the stretch. He scored twenty four plus in six 127 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: of their last eleven games. Five of those games he 128 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: made five threes or more. So he's the straw that 129 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: serves the drink for the Tigers. And then on the 130 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: other side the of Cam Holten, who's the yeah. 131 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: He had thirty four against at Charleston in the game 132 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: I led by double digits with like twelve to go 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: before Charleston put a big run on them. And they 134 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: have Charles end look love, Pat Scarry, great coach, and 135 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: they're all seniors. Like they're basically the entire rotations. It's 136 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: very very experienced team. 137 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: But Gad sure so in addition, it's not just Timberlake. 138 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: Also Cam Holden has five double doubles in his last 139 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: ten games. He's probably the best rebounding guard in the country. 140 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: He's a six to five a power guard and as 141 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: a whole, they're one of the best offensive rebounding mid majors, 142 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: and that makes it really advantageous for them to win 143 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: multiple games in this tournament because they don't need to 144 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: have that game where they shoot forty plus percent from three. 145 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: They can get on the glass and even as a team, 146 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: they're thirty third nationally three point percent, So I like 147 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: the chances of them catching fire offensively. They've done it 148 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: on the road in the last few years. They've been 149 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: one of the best road teams to bet against the spread. 150 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: They nearly upset Clemson on the road, so when I 151 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: look at that, you know their play away from home. 152 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: That's a major benefit. Now we go down the board, 153 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: unc Wilmington's ten to one. I actually don't like the 154 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: Seahawks here. They got smoked by Hofstra, smoked by Charleston, 155 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: they lost to Tows, and they play very slow, so 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: that's a little bit different and a bit of a 157 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 2: contray here in this conference tournament. But they can't shoot 158 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: their two hundred and twenty fifth at shooting efficiency. They're bad 159 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: on the glass. The only positive thing that I can't 160 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: say for the Seahawks is that they turn you over 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: a lot, but I'm not sure that's enough to make 162 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: up for some of their other deficiencies. And then finally, 163 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: it wouldn't be a conference review without a long shot. 164 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: They go with Delaware here fifty to one. Listen, they 165 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: beat North Carolina, Wilmington, and Tausen this year, so when 166 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: you look at their path, they could beat Northeastern in 167 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: the first game and then Tawson on the way to 168 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: the SEMIS. I think that's totally reasonable to see that 169 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: come to fruition because jamiir and Nelson Junior is having 170 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 2: a special end to a season. He's up to twenty 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: five and four a night. He's absolutely on a tear. 172 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: He had thirty nine against UNC Wilmington, thirty points seven 173 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: dimes against North Carolina A and C, and twenty two 174 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: and five at Elon. So I think there's a chance 175 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: for him to put this entire Blue Hen team on 176 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: his back. And at fifty to one, I think that's 177 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: a little overinflated. I would probably play it at forty 178 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 2: to one, So fifty to one's definitely play because of 179 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: the path. I like their matchup against Northeastern, and I 180 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: think there's a decent shot that they could upset Towson 181 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: and then once you're at the seventies with the fifty 182 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: to one ticket. As we said before, it's license to 183 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: print money. From a hedge. 184 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: Perspective, Yeah, one thing that kind of that I'll disagree 185 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: with on Della Della is the defending champs. For what 186 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: it's worth, they're the sixth seed. They'll take on Northeastern 187 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: in the first round. Delar did win three straight down 188 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: the air. I mean, they beat Elon, they barely beat 189 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: North County and then they beat Uantcy went to High Agree. 190 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the Seahawks, which I think 191 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: vodes well for Hostra Trexel. It's good defense, but they 192 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they got to win four games in four days, 193 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: and they're dealing with some injuries as well. So I mean, 194 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: I think Hostra probably is the easiest path to the final. 195 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Charleston and Hofstra. I just they should walk 196 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: to the Semis here, which is their biggest advantage, which 197 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: is I agree with you, that's how you want it 198 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: to be. If you're a mid major with Delaware, you 199 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: have Asamoa, who's injured. I don't know his status. He's important. 200 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: He hasn't played in a while, but apparently the locker 201 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: room issues with Delaware and like they are, things aren't 202 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: going well. I don't know that could be anecdotal, but 203 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: heard it from a couple of people close to the program. 204 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: The one thing I do like about talsand here is 205 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: that you mentioned you know, a lot of teams want 206 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: to run, especially the top teams, but Talisan wants to 207 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: slow this down, dominate the offensive glass as a that 208 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: scary team usually does. And these conference tournament team games, 209 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: a lot of times they might end up being more 210 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: of a half court battle a lot on the line. 211 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: It's not as up and down. That's all Charleston wants 212 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: to play. CHARLESA comes out you with waves. They have 213 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: a really deep bench and they just want to run 214 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: and they get out and they just come at you 215 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: and come out you and come at you. But Talisand's 216 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: super comfortable just in the half court, and you know 217 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: they can shoot the three out of that's timberlake, and 218 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: then they can dominate the offense cuts so you have 219 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: to have a off shooting night. That's where you know 220 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: they can make their hay. So yeah, I think Talisan 221 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: from my perspective, has the most value in this bracket. 222 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: If you believe that Delaware is dealing with some issues 223 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: and they might not be at full strength, don't even 224 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: look by the looking at the super long shots in 225 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the bottom of this conference, they have zero chance. All right, 226 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: good stuff there in the c A A. So wait, 227 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: are you calling's gonna win it? Who's your call? 228 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: I go with Hofstra. So my two plays. I'm gonna 229 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: take Offstra at plus one eighty, and I like Tasen's 230 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: value at six to one. I think it's gonna end 231 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: up being the pride though winning the autumn I've been. 232 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: If you haven't watched Aaron Estrada, check him out. He's 233 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: probably the most electric score most have never heard of. 234 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: I think he's gone for forty this year. He's capable 235 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: of going for thirty plus with ease. All right, let's 236 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: move on, b J. Let's to bring you in here 237 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: and talk talk to some big sky. This will take 238 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: place March fourth through the seventh in Boise, Idaho. Montana 239 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: State is your favorite at plus one point fifteen. Eastern 240 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: Washington second of plus two fifty. They did just root 241 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: that a long, long winning streak that recently came to 242 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: an end, they lost Idaho State. Then they lost to 243 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: Montana State to close out the season. Montana plus four 244 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: to fifty, Webra eleven to one, Sacramento State twenty to one. 245 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: And then you're getting down into some super long shots. 246 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: For what it's worth, keep this in mind, say this 247 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: every podcast. Make sure you shop around. These odds can 248 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: differ dramatically, especially when you're looking at the long shots. 249 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Difference between a fifty to one and seventy to one 250 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: if you get to the final, that's massive, So make 251 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: sure you shop around and have as many outs as possible. Okay, 252 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: so the big sky is you have all ten teams 253 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: make it. Eastern Washington is the one seed they will 254 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: get a buy into the quarterfinals along with Montana State, 255 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: Idaho State, Montana State, Weaver State, and Sacramento State. The 256 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: team's playing on the first day Northern Arizona, Idaho, Portland State, 257 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: and Northern Colorado. BJ break this down. What do you 258 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: see in the big sky? 259 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: To me, Stuck, I think that this is pretty clear 260 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: in a way that Montana State is the best team 261 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: in this conference. 262 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna be taking them. You can find a 263 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 4: plus one forty out there. 264 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it's obviously very boring to take the favorite. 265 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: But Eastern Washington they obviously had like you mentioned, they 266 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: had a sixteen game win streak to begin Big Sky Play. 267 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: But if you look her shot quality of the second 268 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: luckiest team in the country per Ken Palm, that are 269 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: the thirty first luckiest team in the country. Ten of 270 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 3: their sixteen wins have come by ten points or less, 271 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: so a lot of luck on their late game variants. 272 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 3: And they recently, like you mentioned, they just lost to 273 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: Montana State at home, and you know, the final score 274 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 3: line will say they lost by five, but Montana State 275 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 3: has seventeen point lead with ten minutes left to go. 276 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: So it was a pretty clear schlacking from the Bobcats 277 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: and the Bobcats to the number one team in the conference. 278 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: And adjust the defensive efficiency points are possessional allowed in 279 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: both the half court in transition two point field goal 280 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 3: percentage allowed. They turn opponents over at the highest rate. 281 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 3: It just it really is the best defense in this conference. 282 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 3: And then on the offensive side of the ball, they 283 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 3: are the most efficient team at getting in the rim. 284 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: They get to the free throw line at the seventh 285 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: highest rate in the country. And then when they get there, 286 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 3: they're shooting seventy six percent in conference playing. I think 287 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: the bracket sets up really nicely for them because since 288 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: Montana is going to be the four seed, they are 289 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: going to be on the side of the bracket with 290 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: Eastern Washington, who is the number one seed, and I 291 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: believe Montana State is the second or third best team 292 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: in this conference. So instead they're gonna get to play 293 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: Weaver State, who did hand them one of their three losses, 294 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: but it was on the road, and if you look 295 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: at the shot quality for that, the game was actually 296 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: pretty close because Weaver State just shot the absolute lights out. 297 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: But I don't see a scenario where Montana State is 298 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: going to be an underdog once we get to the 299 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: final against Eastern Washington or potentially Montana and I think 300 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: the bracket sets up easier for them rather than them 301 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: being the one seed. So I like Montana plus one 302 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: forty Sacramento State Montana State. 303 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 4: Excuse me, Yes, that is a big difference right there. 304 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, So Montana State a plus one forty Sacramento State 305 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: twenty five to one is kind of interesting. They're fourth 306 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: in the conference per shock quality and justin deficiency differential 307 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: They've played a ton of close games throughout conference play. 308 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: They lost by two to Montana on the road, They 309 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 3: lost by four to Montana State on the road. In 310 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: late February, lost by three to Weaver State. Like, this 311 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: is a a very very interesting, interesting team that's had 312 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: a lot of late game variants go against them, So 313 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: they're kind of interesting. 314 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: They're gonna play Weaber State in that first game. 315 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: They're only gonna be about two point underdogs two Weaber States, 316 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 3: so you could potentially get them in a situation where 317 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: you can get Montana State or even Sacramento State into 318 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: the final at a pretty good number. So Montana State 319 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: at plus one point forty and Sacramento. 320 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 4: State at twenty five to one are my two plays. 321 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Eastern Washington the one thing about them, And look, 322 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: yeah I agree that they were lucky. They do run 323 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: great offense, run a lot of it through the post. 324 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: But they they're a high variance team, which is you know, 325 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: if you don't like that for one of the teams 326 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: that are the top seeds, but they shoot a ton 327 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: of threes and they give up a ton of threes, 328 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: so you know, if the team is missing a lot 329 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: of threes, then they're opponents missing a ton of matter 330 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: who they play in this conference, and they're making them 331 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna win this. But I agree. I think Montana 332 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: State by far, and they match up pretty well with 333 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Eastern Washington because I mean Montana State can get out 334 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: in transition East to Washington very poor there. East Washington 335 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: very very poor, like nine percentile pick and roll defense. 336 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: Montana State can take advantage there. Montana State can hold 337 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: up in the post. And then if you look Montana State, 338 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: they you know, this is a team that won it 339 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: last year. If you recall they who do they end 340 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: up playing? They played Tennessee now Texas Tech, they played 341 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: Texa Tech on the tourner. But they won this last year. 342 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Extremely experienced team and Bellow, one of their best players, 343 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: battles amazing their guard. And Bellow's kind of like this, 344 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, six', nine crafty. Big he hasn't been fully 345 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: healthy until. Recently he was dealing with an arm injury 346 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: and he's really come, on but you, know he kind 347 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: OF i think it was about a couple of weeks 348 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: ago was really struggling and it showed on that, end 349 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: AND i think that's weighing down some of their. Metrics, 350 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: STILL i have them power rated as clearly the best team. 351 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: HERE i think they match up well With Eastern washington 352 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: AND i, AGREE i think this IS i think this Is. 353 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: CHALKY i think It's Montana state's tournament and they're going 354 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: back to the. Dance very well coached team and, experienced 355 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: and they could Be there'll be a team that's steep 356 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: depending on the. Matchup i'm a big fan Of Danny 357 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: sprinkle two in a tournament, setting very good. Coach depending 358 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: on the, matchup there'll be a team that could be 359 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: dangerous as an upset potential that no one will talk. 360 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: About no one will they won't be on anyone's. Radar you, 361 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: Know they're not likely to be the New Mexico state 362 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: or The. Charleston they're not the sexy. Team But Montana 363 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: state could be dangerous if they get. In they're kind 364 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: of coming on at the right time and they won't beat, 365 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: themselves but very well. Coached SO i, Agree i'm Going 366 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: i'm going with the chalk there With Montana.

Seed they'll get the winner 372 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: Of Mercer. Citadel then they'll Get Western Carolina East Tennessee. 373 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: State pretty favorable path to the. Finals furman has had 374 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: some heartbreaking losses this, core these fifty year, Seniors bothwell And. 375 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: Slawson if you, recall they lost at the buzzer at 376 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: a three pointer in overtime last year To, chattanooga just 377 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: a crazy shot from half court and they didn't get 378 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: to go. Again they haven't been to the tournament since 379 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: nineteen Eighty is this the year For? Furman in the 380 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: bottom half of the, Bracket stamford is the two. Seed 381 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: they were swept By furman this. Year then they will 382 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: get the winner Of ATTANOGA, vmi and THEN uncg will 383 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: take On wawford in the other game in the bottom 384 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: half of the. Bracket, mike what do you see here 385 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: in the SoCon Does furman finally go? DANCING i think they. 386 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: Do to be honest with, YOU i think this if 387 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: you had to put together a mid major roster from, 388 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 2: scratch this is kind of the dream. Scenario they have 389 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: a great guard In mike boothwell both WELL i should, 390 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: say eighteen three and three a. Game and then on 391 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: the low, Block Jalen slawson is a. Beast he averages 392 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: sixteen seven and. Three they also have nice weapons additionally 393 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 2: on the perimeter and GUARDS Jp pegas And Marcus foster 394 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: both shoot better than thirty five percent from three in 395 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: average eleven a. Game when you look at how they 396 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: matched up with the top of the, sokon they Swept, 397 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: stanford they Slept, as they split With greensboro with an overtime, 398 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: loss and they Bullied. Chattanooga SO i think they're ready 399 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: to make this. Jump and from you, know a style, 400 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 2: perspective they can really score the gravaging eighty points per 401 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: game their twelve and shooting efficiency thirty third And Ken 402 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: pump's offensive adjusted efficiency, ratings which is one of the 403 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 2: highest for mid majors in the entire. Country and WHAT 404 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 2: i like is they protect the. Basketball you, know they're 405 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: they're not awful, defensively they're you, know not even close 406 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: to being considered defensive. Stopper BUT i think they have 407 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 2: the offense to run by just about everybody here in this. 408 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: Tournament and they were really good on the. Road they're 409 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: in three straight up on the road this year and 410 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: seven and four against the. Spread so as a number 411 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 2: one seed in a, TOURNAMENT i THINK i feel pretty 412 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 2: safe with The paladins, here But i'm going to kick 413 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: the tires on some of these, options you, know down the, 414 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 2: card so you get you AND. C. Greensboro they're plus 415 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: two point. FIFTY i was a little bit. 416 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: Surprised to see this. 417 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: NUMBER i thought it was going to be swapped With. 418 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: Sanford sanford's at four to. ONE i THINK i would 419 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: need at least four or five to one to take The. 420 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: Spartans but they are the best defensive team in this. 421 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: Tournament greensboro is twenty eighth in opponent shooting. Percentage they 422 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: want to slow teams down so that you, know the 423 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 2: added defensive stops they get have higher. Value they have 424 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: nice size across their starting. Lineup Candre kennedy and Key 425 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: Sean langley have to have big tournaments for them to win. 426 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: This you, know they can't just be decent on the 427 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: offensive end and elite. Defensively they need those guys in 428 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 2: their backcourt to really step. Up they average twenty eight 429 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: points per game as a, backcourt but they're probably gonna 430 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: need to up that into the mid thirties to be 431 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: able to get by some of these run and gun 432 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: teams in the SoCon AS i, mentioned The sanford is 433 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 2: four to. ONE i think they're the better. Value they 434 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: can really shoot their nineteenth shooting. Efficiency they make a 435 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 2: ton of threes and they gets to the line a. 436 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: LOT i like that, combination and they put pressure on you. 437 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 2: Defensively they're not great in a lot of defensive, metrics 438 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 2: but they almost force fourteen turnovers per, game so that 439 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: puts them in a nice. Position and the story on 440 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: their whole season Is Quez. Glover he missed about two. 441 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 2: Months when he came, back he was certainly rusty in 442 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 2: his first three to four, games but now they're six 443 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 2: and one straight up in their last seven with him 444 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: back in the. LINEUP i really like their front, Court 445 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: Logan die And Jermaine. MARSHALL i think they give them 446 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: some nice balance. There Bubba, parham who's been playing in college, 447 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: basketball this isn't a joke since twenty. Seventeen he gives 448 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: them someone who can pop off for five to three 449 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: six points that they're not necessarily relying on to be 450 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: the lead, scorer so he gives them some some positive 451 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: variance to potentially go. Off and then when you look 452 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 2: at their resume this, year they Swept, greensboro they nearly 453 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: Upset furman at their, place losing an ot and they swept. 454 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Show should have won that. Game then they blew a big, 455 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: lead gotten massive foul, trouble but then they lost at 456 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: home To furman. Recently and then in. 457 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: Terms of like the wildless team in this, tournament And 458 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: i'm going to get into why Is Chad nooga they're defending. 459 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 2: CHAMPS utc is twelve to one to win this. Tournament 460 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: but there's news breaking On Jake stevens which are. 461 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: Huge she started to practice. 462 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 2: Again and the, ARTICLE i think, it's you, know one 463 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 2: of their local. Papers it's. Hysterical the quotes from him are, 464 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: Like i'm chugging milk and protein shakes and ANYTHING i 465 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: can do to heal this hand. Up it's also kind 466 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: of being the subtext of some of his quotes are 467 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: IF i can't hurt my, hand, worse IF i can't 468 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: damage it and potentially hurt my, professional you, know draft, 469 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: status why not just go in there even If I'm 470 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: michelle of myself because he was arguably the best big 471 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: in mid major. Basketball you have heage twenty two to, 472 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: ten with two point four blocks per, game they were 473 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: a team that could have won THE SoCon had he stayed. 474 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: Healthy but in addition to, that not just The stevens, 475 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: factor they're the highest variance team in this. Tournament they 476 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: are number one in the nation in attempted and made 477 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 2: threes per. Game they hit thirty seven percent as a. 478 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 2: Team so if they go ahead and make thirteen or 479 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: fourteen threes in a, game they can beat anybody in this. 480 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: Tournament and they DRAW vmi and Then. Sanford so when 481 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 2: you look And samford gives. 482 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: Up as much threes as, anyone and they shoot a 483 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: turn at threes as, well another high variance, team and 484 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: you look at. 485 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: Their, matchup they've lost by one At sanford and five at, 486 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 2: home so they were in. It that last one at 487 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: home was Without. Stevens SO i think there's like if 488 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: you want to throw a dart in this tournament and 489 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 2: hope Maybe stevens won't be back for THE vmi, game 490 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: but at this point he's questionable for the next. Rounds 491 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: if he's, back that's as big an impact on a 492 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: single player basis as anyone in this entire, field you, 493 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: know just to run down the rest of, them non VM. 494 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: I for what it's, worth IS i they're down to 495 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: like six or seven scholarship. GUYS i think they're starting 496 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: like five five. Freshmen Chad mooge does not Eat stevens 497 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: for that, Game so they should get The stanford and, 498 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: yeah that's going to be a super high errant. Team 499 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: and then that's what you want with a long. Shot 500 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: you want the, variants and then you also have the 501 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: potential Of steven's coming back and if he's, Effective like 502 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty, there but that's what you 503 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: want in a long shot throwing at dart in a 504 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: tournament Where i'm assuming that they're going to get by DM, 505 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: i they you have to, win you, know three games 506 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: in three. 507 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 2: Days the rest of the. BOARD i wouldn't even Mention 508 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 2: mercer VM i The. Citadel mercer's two hundred and thirty 509 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: first in Ken palm vm i's three fifty, Five so 510 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 2: that's three. Seventeen those teams are not, winning you, know 511 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: more than a game in this. Tournament so the rest of. 512 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: Them wafford at nineteen to. ONE i JUST i can't 513 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: get over the defensive metrics they're awful, on you, know 514 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: when it comes to slowing anybody, Down and they'd likely 515 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: have to beat the three top seeds to win all 516 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: it's not. Happening they went one to five against those, 517 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 2: teams and they open With. GREENSBORO i think it's far 518 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 2: more likely that they lose in their first Game Western. 519 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: Carolina. 520 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: Interesting i'm kind of into. It they're nine to six 521 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: against the spread on the road this. Year they Beat. 522 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 2: Furman they have three starters who average fourteen plus per, 523 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: game which is somebody to hang their hat. On they 524 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: don't shoot the ball particularly well as a, team they 525 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: can't grab an offensive board to save their, life and 526 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 2: they don't force. Turnovers so twenty to one doesn't move 527 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 2: the needle for. Me but as you pointed, out these 528 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: smaller tournaments huge variants in terms of the sports books 529 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: what they offer at like thirty five to, One i'm. 530 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 2: Interested thirty to one probably the cutoff for, me so 531 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: make sure you shot around. There and then Finally East 532 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: Tennessee state at twenty to, one another one of those 533 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 2: teams WHERE i need slightly better. Number they're awful from 534 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: the line in three point. Range that's my concern where it's, 535 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 2: like who are you going to really beat in crunch 536 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 2: time if you can't make your foul, shots or how 537 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: you can upset teams with. 538 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: That barring. 539 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 2: Threes they've been super sloppy with the, basketball but they finished. 540 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: STRONG i mean they went three and two straight up 541 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 2: and two of their losses came by a total of six. 542 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: Points Jordan, king their point, guard really got it going 543 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: in the last two. Weeks could he go off and 544 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 2: put the team on his back and you, know Upset. 545 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: Furman it's. Possible you, know they stayed within for Of 546 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: furman at their, place SO i think crazier things have. 547 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: Happened but LIKE i, SAID i would need a slightly 548 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: better number to be interested in The. 549 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: Pirates, yeah good stuff. THERE i Think i'm personally gonna 550 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: roll While i'm rolling With. Furman i'd said a couple months, 551 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: AGO i think this is this Is sandford's. Conference but, 552 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: look they're such a high varrant, team and this With 553 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: chadanooga potentially Getting steven's, back and then you might have 554 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: to play uncg really physical defensive, team you. Know Adding 555 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: kennedy to The langley. Brothers, Yeah i've been really impressed. Them, 556 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: yeah you Mentioned Western carolina para transfers in their. Backcourt 557 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: They've they've exceeded my expectations coming into the year With 558 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: Trey jackson And Russell. Jones BUT i Think furman has 559 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: the easiest. Path LOOKING i worry a little bit about 560 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: their legs because they're an offensive. Team they don't go too. 561 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: Deep and you Mentioned, pegeese their point. Guard he's really 562 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: come on at the end of the, year and THAT'S 563 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: i think they taken them to the next. Level SO 564 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: i think And Bob, Richie i'd Love i've been paying 565 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: close attention to how they're like handling all this, mentally 566 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: because this is like like when the pressure Comes furman 567 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: is like the last four years these gone like they've 568 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: been so close and they lose In, heartbury these heartbreaking 569 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: fashion To wafford every.

Want McNee state And lamar it's ridiculous that 604 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: they're not. In it's not like it's a seventeen team 605 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: league or something like. That and logistics are the. Issue 606 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: if you really want to force them out and you're worried, 607 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 2: about you, know playing an extra, round why not just 608 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: do like a three point shootout between like the last four? 609 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: Teams like could you imagine live streaming? That in terms 610 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: of LIKE espn would eat it, up put it on 611 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: like two pm on A wednesday or.

Fun don't in their, season as you pointed, 614 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 2: out they you, know some of those teams beat the 615 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 2: top teams in The, southland like they deserve a. 616 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 4: SHOT i got a better, Idea. Mike how about three 617 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: on three tournamentween those four? Teams there you? 618 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: Go anything? FUN i agree with. These, yeah and you 619 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: could easily have six teams in the first even you 620 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: could have you could kill the double. Buys but, WHATEVER 621 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: bj is it chalk Ears Corpus christy, repeating where's the? 622 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: Value what do you see? 623 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 3: HERE i, mean it's probably their conference to, lose, Honestly 624 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 3: like they are the best team in the. Conference they're 625 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: probably a deserving. Favorite BUT i Think Nickel state has some. 626 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: Value you can find them at plus seven fifty out. 627 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: There they're second and shot quality is just defense or 628 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: defense efficiency. Differential that the second best defensive team in 629 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: this conference by adjusted defensive. Efficiency they turn opponents over 630 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 3: at the highest rate in the south. End that the 631 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 3: second best team defending at the. Rim their first and 632 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: two point field goal percentage. Allowed they're a very very 633 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: fast paced team and, transition they're very efficient. There their 634 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: top fifteen points for possession. Nationally they finished at the 635 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 3: rim in the second highest rate in this. Conference they 636 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 3: hardly turn the ball. Over now it matters that this 637 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: it doesn't really. Matter it kind of, matters but it 638 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: also doesn't matter at this point in the. Season But 639 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: Nickel state played the hardest non conference schedule of anybody 640 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 3: in college. Basketball so this is a very very well, 641 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: traveled well battle tested TYPE t. Team now it didn't 642 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: show really in conference. Play they did finish conference place 643 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: at six and, three but in those last nine, games 644 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: if you look at shock, quality they should have won 645 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 3: every single one of those, games including a game Over Corpus. 646 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 3: Christy so you're getting one of the hottest teams who's 647 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: due for some positive regression going into the. Tournament they're 648 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: going to have to Play Corpus christi And, semis which 649 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: is not. Great but at a price of plus seven 650 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 3: to fifty for what is arguably the second best team 651 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: in this, CONFERENCE i think the value is On Nickels. 652 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: State. YEAH i would also look potentially At Southeastern louisiana 653 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: just but if they're going to have they're, in they 654 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to Face Corpus, christy who agre is the 655 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: best team, metrically very experienced. Team you can. Get really 656 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: interesting thing is that if you look at this bracket 657 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: and text Adem Corpus christy ended up winning Against Texadam 658 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: commerce last, night who dropped to the five, seat which 659 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: meeans they have to play in the first. Round but 660 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: if they, didn't they would have gotten the four seat 661 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: Of nonichols and depending If nichols lost yesterday and Text 662 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: Adem commerce Gave Texam Corpus christy a lot of problems this. 663 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: Year they beat them and then they lost in overtime last. 664 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: Night that's Because Texas Aum Corpus it doesn't have a 665 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: lot of. Size they are really good, team rebounding, team 666 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: but they can you can get them in the post 667 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: And TEXAS a AND M commerce JUST i think they 668 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: shot eighty two percent from two in one matchup sixty 669 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: five percent in the.

ONES i THINK 678 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: i think if Either nichols Or southeast Of louisiana tickles your, 679 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: fancy they might be worth taking a. Shot BUT i 680 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: do agree that text A Andem Corpus christie is the 681 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: class of the.

Undefeated Max asmas everyone, 690 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: remembers but this is and they're clearly the best. Team 691 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: it ran through the entire. Conference but this is just 692 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: an eight team tournament with no, buys and it's played 693 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: In South. Dakota you have all The dakotas and Then 694 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: Oral roberts coming up From. Tulsa So they're not doing 695 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: Or roberts any favors. Here Or roberts is the heavy. 696 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: FAVORITE i think you can find them minus one. Eighty 697 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: they were eighteen and h in the league. Play they 698 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: won't get the winner Of denver In North. Dakota that's 699 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: basically a toss. Up then Played Western Illinois Saint. Thomas 700 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: both don't really play, defense great. Offenses they could put 701 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: up a lot of. Points Trent masner For Western illinois 702 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: is capable of completely going. Off you haven't seen. Him 703 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: plays fun to. Watch can they score enough against the 704 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: WORLD i don't think. So AND i don't even know 705 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: who's gonna win that game Between western And Saint. Thomas 706 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: then in the bottom half you have it's all The. 707 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: Dakotas It's South Dakota, State North Dakota, state And South. 708 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: DAKOTA i just can't make a case for anyone beating Or. 709 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: ROBERTS i, Mean South Dakota state is one of the 710 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: best home court advantages in all of college. Basketball they 711 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: were catching. FIVE i bet him got really lucky that 712 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: game or backdoor cover that was on their home court 713 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: in a smash, spot And Oral roberts still took care of. 714 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: Business i'm tempted to lay the one to eighty here 715 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: With Oral. Roberts if you can parlay, favorites were parlay 716 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: conference that they might be a good parlay. Piece it's 717 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: hard for me to make a case for anyone other 718 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: Than Oral. Roberts the good news is if that, happens 719 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: we get to See Max asmis in this amazing offense 720 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: which is now at the twenty third nationally and adjusted offensive. 721 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: Efficiency him And connor Van over the new kick and 722 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: pop man of that. Offense their defense is even better 723 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: than That Oral roberts team that made a run in 724 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: THE ncaaa tournament a couple of years. Ago SO i 725 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: think it's Or roberts. HERE i can't make a case 726 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: for anybody. Else, mike any thoughts there anything else you 727 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 1: want to cap off for these conference? Worms any final? 728 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: THOUGHTS i like The, tommys you, know as a total. 729 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: Dart it's not an easy. Road they got to take 730 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 2: care Of massner in the four or five game and 731 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 2: then they would Play Oral roberts in the. Semis but 732 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 2: they played pretty well Against Earl roberts in their last. 733 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: MEETING i think from a pressure, perspective when you run 734 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 2: the table and you, know if they win this, tournament 735 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 2: they are at eleven or a twelve seed In March. 736 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 2: Madness so like there's a lot of sake for, them 737 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 2: where a program like The TOMMY'S i think they're playing 738 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 2: with house. Money so obviously it depends to shop around 739 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: get the best. Number but in terms of throwing a, 740 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: dart that's the only one that has any interest for. 741 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 2: Me roady has been a, great one of the best 742 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 2: freshmen in the entire country For Saint. Thomas he's a 743 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 2: really fun. Watch he's got a game winner under his 744 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: belt already this. Season so sometimes you're looking for a 745 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 2: single player to kind of take over and you, know 746 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 2: create a magical. Run i'm going to go with him 747 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: For Saint. 748 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: Thomas, YEAH i mean they were able to in two 749 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: meetings With Oral. Roberts they lost eighty one to sixty 750 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: nine on the road and then they lost ninety five 751 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: to eighty eight at. Home and you, Know Oral roberts 752 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: their defense has been a lot. BETTER i mean they 753 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: are the best offense in the best defense in this, 754 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: conference but they give up a lot of. Threes they 755 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: take a lot of threes, too so high, variants, right 756 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: if they're way off, shooting And Saint thomas takes a 757 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: lot and can make a lot of threes as, well 758 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: so you get three point variants they. Shoot, look they're 759 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: the sixteenth highest three point attempt frequency in the, country 760 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: so the factor could be working in your favor. There so, 761 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: YEAH i don't hate. THAT i think if you want 762 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: to take a, shot you're gonna have to knock off 763 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 1: Or roberts at some. Point do it in second, round 764 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: AND i think they do actually match up pretty well 765 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: With Western, illinois who they just recently. Beat, oh by the, 766 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: way we will Have we're.

Love 808 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 5: usually you, know it's like minus three hundred minus. FER 809 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 5: i think got up to minus nine hundred for the 810 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 5: Ket tournament last. YEAR i like it minus two. Hundred 811 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 5: and the reason the reason the number is so low 812 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,359 Speaker 5: is because there's another team to be U mass low 813 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 5: low will B vermont earlier this season posted the best 814 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 5: season in program history while nipping On vermont's heels basically 815 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 5: all season. Long AND i was actually Buying UMass lowell 816 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 5: at the beginning of the season because they returned almost, 817 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 5: everyone including the conference's best front court in a year 818 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 5: where all the other front courts were pretty, weak Especially. 819 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 5: Vermont's but since the First lowell win Over, vermont a 820 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 5: few things have. Happened, First vermont figured out its front court, 821 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 5: rotations pretty much fixed its interier defense after getting roasted 822 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 5: in the post on. Defense for, example in the first 823 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 5: meeting A lowell, Win lowell scored fourteen points on twelve 824 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 5: post up possessions Against. Vermont in the second meeting Of vermont, 825 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 5: Win lowell scored two points on five post up. Possessions 826 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 5: particularly Of vermont win, SECOND a big REASON i was 827 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 5: in on UMAs lowell was because Of Connor, withers you 828 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 5: remember helped Carry Obadiah noel to that conference championship game 829 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 5: a few years. Ago he's been pulled from the rotation. 830 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 5: Entirely he's played five and a half minutes per game 831 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 5: over the last four games. Games THAT x factor THAT 832 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 5: i was really betting on has. Gone while this was all, 833 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 5: Happening vermont ended the season with twelve straight, wins most 834 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 5: of the nation's highest effective field goal percentage during the. 835 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 5: Streak The becker five out motion offense is just. Cooking 836 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 5: the three guard lineups are. Insane and it's huge that 837 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 5: the conference runs Through burlington again because The America east 838 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 5: actually has the nation's highest home winning percentage among all 839 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 5: the conferences sixty eight. Percent so, YEAH i like The 840 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 5: vermont catamouts at anything under minus two. Hundred into my cell, 841 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 5: team you might have mentioned it super unimpressive. Season i'm Selling. 842 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 5: Bryant i'm all out on The. BULLDOGS i will betting 843 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 5: against The Brian bulldogs in the first. Round you're likely 844 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 5: to Get university Of New hampshire as a short home. 845 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 5: Dog If brian does win that, game they'll likely be 846 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 5: reseeded and Play vermont In, burlington AND i will double 847 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 5: down and hammer the From cats in that. Spot vermont 848 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 5: is such an awful matchup For. Bryan vermont's transition defense 849 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 5: was built in a lab to stop The bryant transition. 850 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 5: Attack i've also decided that The bulldogs are just poorly. 851 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 5: Coached Jared grasso took one of the better collections of 852 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 5: Talent i've seen in this conference and turned it into an. 853 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: Eight AND Eu conference. 854 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 5: Team not only, that The bulldogs finished the season one 855 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 5: in four straight up and own five against the spread 856 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 5: in the final. Five talk about the opposite of. MOMENTUM 857 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 5: i figured out it's basically just a lack of execution 858 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 5: on both ends of the. FLOOR i, mean they have 859 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 5: this quick strike transition on steroids, attack but they're one 860 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 5: of the least efficient transition. Offenses they turn the ball 861 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 5: over like, crazy they don't really have great shot, makers 862 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 5: and Against maine in the regular season, finale they just 863 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 5: ran into the teeth of a pretty solid main and 864 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 5: tier defense over and over with almost no. Success But 865 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 5: grasso never. Adjusted and on, defense it's just a really 866 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 5: passive zone defense doesn't really do. 867 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: It AND unbc just carved it up in both their. 868 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: MEETINGS i was, like there are so many hole WHEN 869 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,800 Speaker 1: i was watching those, games so many holes in that. Zone. 870 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 5: YEAH i, mean, look THEY'RE i think they're the seventh 871 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 5: best rim protecting team in the, conference and they get 872 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 5: shredded in post. UPSETS i mean two things that the 873 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 5: zone are supposed to stop, right and then if you 874 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 5: attack them from, them the perimeter did twice he could 875 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 5: shred them that way. Too, finally Since brian is the sixth, 876 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 5: seed they'll be on the road in both the first 877 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 5: round and the second. Round they're five to nine against 878 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 5: the spread on the road this year all out on 879 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 5: The Brian. 880 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 2: Bulldogs do not fall for that. 881 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 5: Trap, Finally i'll Go i'll give you one long Shot 882 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 5: New hampshire thirty four to. One if you're going to 883 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 5: pick one long shot in this, conference The wildcats are 884 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 5: the only team with a long number that is guaranteed 885 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 5: to Avoid vermont until the championship. Game that's good enough 886 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 5: to take a flyer. On they also Have Clarence, Daniels 887 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 5: America's player of The year. Candidate he's a versatile three level. 888 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 5: Scorer he hits the boards really, hard averages eleven boards per. 889 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 5: Game that's something there also the only other conference team 890 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 5: to actually Beat vermont this year using a decent front 891 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 5: court to beat up on a then Week vermont front. 892 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: Court so you don't you're not worried about you Think 893 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: New hampter is going to Be. BRIAN i think were 894 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: swept during the regular. SEASON i think one was, close 895 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: one was a. Blowout but you Think New hampshire is 896 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: going to take care of business there because you're Selling. 897 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: Bryant that's part of what goes Into New hampshire as 898 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: having us a long, shot. 899 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 5: Right it's a little bit unfortunate Because New hampshire And 900 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 5: bryant were kind of the two TEAMS i was looking 901 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 5: to sell entering the, tournament but then how the final 902 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,959 Speaker 5: day played, out these two ended up playing each other 903 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 5: in the first. Round so Now i'm looking at it 904 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 5: And i'm looking to Sell brian a lot. More. 905 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: Yep but what is. 906 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 5: Nice About brian falling to the six is THAT i 907 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 5: could Bet New hampshire in the first round Against. Brian 908 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 5: If brian ends up winning that they'll have to Play 909 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,760 Speaker 5: vermont In, burlington WHICH i mean that number will be 910 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 5: probably way too. Short they closed as a four point 911 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 5: underdog the last time they played In. Burlington way too. 912 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 5: Short that should be a double digit, spread especially with 913 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 5: the Way brian is trending. 914 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeap what about for any first round? Angles anything there 915 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: to keep an eye. 916 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 5: On so another REASON i don't Like UMass lowell is 917 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 5: BECAUSE i don't like their first round. MATCHUP i Love 918 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 5: maine against the spread Versus lowell in the first. Round 919 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 5: maine runs a very aggressive. Defense they forced a ton 920 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 5: of Turnovers kellen. Times their point guard is the nation 921 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 5: leader in steels with three point three per. Game, Meanwhile 922 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 5: lowell is a bad ball handling. Team turned it over 923 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 5: fifteen times and seventeen times in two games against The 924 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 5: Black bears this season ended up being a two Point 925 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 5: lowell win and then a five Point maine win in 926 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 5: the second. Game Yet maine is going to be catching 927 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 5: around probably ten. Points SO i think this is the 928 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 5: one team That lowell didn't want to face in the first. 929 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 5: Round it's a bad matchup And maine is. COOKING i 930 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 5: mean they started the conference season zero to five and 931 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 5: then ended seven and, four so they have all the. 932 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 5: Momentum Chris markwood was a Great hire Love maine in that. 933 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 5: Spot the other ANGLE i will talk about a little 934 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 5: DIFFERENT Unbc live Against binghamton Coach Lovel sanders For bingington 935 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 5: had to turn his roster over in the middle of the. 936 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,760 Speaker 5: Season he stopped playing his number two, Guard john McGriff 937 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 5: because he was inefficient and did not fit with the 938 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 5: number one, Guard Jacob falco at, all and then he 939 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 5: stopped playing his center rotation because he liked the switchability 940 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,760 Speaker 5: of Having christian hinkson at the. Five so he basically 941 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 5: started playing a six man rotation that is really reliant On. 942 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 5: Falco that six man rotation has blown late leads in 943 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 5: three straight, games including two overtime games where they're outscored 944 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 5: twenty to. Thirteen in those two overtime, periods the rotation 945 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 5: just gets. Gassed so if you GET unbc down early 946 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 5: or like down halftime or down, LATE i could see 947 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 5: playing them live and then letting them Overpower binghamton once 948 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 5: the batteries run, out and the late game home court 949 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 5: advantage Of baltimore should also. 950 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: Help good. Stuff, YEAH i do think you're Getting vermont 951 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: because they've you, know if you say they've been on 952 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: quite a role since that loss To All january, eleventh 953 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,479 Speaker 1: they've won out and you're, right, like this is cheap 954 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,959 Speaker 1: For vermont and the path is pretty. Favorable who would 955 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: you worry About vermont facing because there is receding and 956 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: you don't know necessarily who they're going to. Face but 957 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: is there someone you would worry? About More like you're, 958 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: like as long as we avoid this, team or do 959 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: you think it's pretty cut and dry they Should they 960 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: should win this no matter who they're. 961 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 5: Playing it's pretty cut and. DRY i won't lie. There 962 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 5: they're kind of concerns against every. TEAM i would, say for, 963 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 5: first LIKE unbc can get hot from three at any, 964 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 5: time especially with the Way fairy. Plays if they shoot 965 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 5: the lights, Out lowell of course could overpower them in 966 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 5: the front. Court Even New hampshire beat them. Once the 967 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 5: problem Is vermont is playing the best at the right, 968 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 5: time and nobody else is playing their best ball right. 969 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 5: Now SO i think it's cut and, dry AND i 970 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 5: think you're Getting vermont. Cheap LIKE i think the public 971 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 5: procession is that Either lowell Or vermont can take, this 972 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 5: and only Because vermont has the home court, advantage they're 973 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 5: the reason they're the. Favorite, NO i think this line 974 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 5: is way too. SHORT i think it should be minus 975 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 5: three Hundred vermont or. 976 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:41,319 Speaker 1: Higher, yeah and the home court certainly won't.

Down they're all a deep bench 1021 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: And tulane pup plays a very unique defensive. Style they 1022 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 1: just saw, it they just shredded, it and they're playing 1023 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: two days, Later so what does that? Mean, like they 1024 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: just played AT ecu and now they're going to play At, 1025 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: Tulane so what does that.

Day the one Thing i'm still 1106 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: worried about them is their. Depth AND i thought that 1107 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: they were starting the. Show there's no depth. DOWN i 1108 00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: mean it Gets Texas.

Rebounds connecticut's the number one offensive rebounding 1152 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 3: team in the. Country villanova during conference play is second 1153 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 3: and defensive rebound, percentage so it wasn't like this fluky 1154 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 3: game that Where connecticut couldn't grab any offensive. 1155 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 4: Rebounds yukon is a high volume three point shooting. 1156 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 3: Team they're third in The Big east and three point, 1157 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 3: rate but more specifically catch and shoot three pointers their 1158 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,919 Speaker 3: top twenty five efficiency team in. Those villanova's the number 1159 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 3: one team in the conference in defending catch and shoot three. 1160 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 3: Pointers it's going to be difficult For villanova to get 1161 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 3: open looks in the. Skin they're obviously a very high 1162 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 3: three point shooting team as. Well yukon is outstanding at 1163 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 3: defending three point. Line they're along the the fourth lowest 1164 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 3: three point rate in the entire, country But villanova does 1165 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 3: get to the free throw line at the third highest 1166 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 3: rate in The biggest in their shooting the highest free 1167 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,799 Speaker 3: throw percentage in the entire country at eighty three point two. 1168 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 3: Percent yukon is three hundred and thirty seconds in the 1169 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 3: nation in free throw rate. Allowed this is also a 1170 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 3: situation where the biggest, tournament the top five seeds get a, 1171 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,359 Speaker 3: buy Which yukon has already locked up the fifth, seed 1172 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 3: and they could play their way up to the. Fourth 1173 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 3: probably not gonna play with the third Because creighton is 1174 00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 3: playing To paul and they're most likely going to beat. 1175 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 3: Them Ken palm has it At connecticut minus, Five So 1176 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 3: i'll Take villanova pretty much anything plus the points. 1177 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 1: Here, yeah if you look back For villanova And Justin, 1178 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 1: moore by the, way he's like fully integrated on the 1179 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: offense now he's their best on ball defender as, well 1180 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 1: and he's been great offensively the last couple of. Days 1181 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: he's the last couple of, GAMES i should say he's 1182 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 1: shaken off all of the Russ if you looked back 1183 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: since a bad they lost three straight To, Xavier De 1184 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 1: paul And butler kind of bottomed. Out then they've gone 1185 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 1: eight and four since with wins that just mentioned Over Seaton, Hall, 1186 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,959 Speaker 1: creighton And xavier in the last three actually Swept Seaton. 1187 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: Hall they lost The providence At. Providence they led in 1188 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 1: the second half in that. Game kind Of, yeah they 1189 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: lost At creighton by. Five game was a coin flip. 1190 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: Late they lost At, marquette they led in the second, 1191 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: fa they lost at. Home The providence game was a 1192 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 1: coin flip of a minute to, go like they've been 1193 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: in every single game over the last Twelve and, yeah 1194 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: they're playing really. WELL i fascinated to see what those 1195 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 1: future odds end up settling For villanova in The Big East, 1196 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: tournament and they're gonna to go through a. Gauntlet they're 1197 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 1: probably gonna be no. Value might be a good money 1198 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: line rollover candidate another. Spot i'm gonna. Go i'm gonna 1199 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: Go Ohio. STATE i keep Riding Ohio. State here they're 1200 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: At Michigan state that senior day For Michigan. STATE i, 1201 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: KNOW i get, it that kid working against some, teams 1202 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 1: they come out a little, nervous trying too. Much Ohio 1203 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,640 Speaker 1: state got embarrassed at. Home but if you Against Michigan 1204 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 1: state a couple of weeks, ago but they've started to 1205 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: figure that some things out rotation wise post Z key 1206 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: and if you look at that game and advanced box 1207 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: score game grades was basically graded as even And Ohio 1208 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: state shot six of twenty nine from. THREE i think 1209 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna get some value in The buckeyes keep riding 1210 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 1: the hot, Hand mike anything. 1211 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 2: Else it depends what number you get on the. Total 1212 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 2: but the last TIME ucla In arizona hooked, UP i 1213 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 2: want to say they finished fifty eight to fifty Two 1214 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 2: ucla or maybe it Was arizona in that, game but 1215 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten. Points it went under the total by. 1216 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 2: Thirty so if it's south of, like let's say one forty, 1217 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 2: NINE i like the over. HERE i think the fact 1218 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 2: Is arizona may not be my favorite team from a national, 1219 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 2: perspective BUT i don't think they're going to go down 1220 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 2: without a. Fight the look aheadline for this is something 1221 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,960 Speaker 2: like six or. SEVEN i think that's a little too. 1222 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 2: Much BUT i do think they're going to be CHASING 1223 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 2: ucla in this, Game SO i like for both of 1224 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 2: them to, play you, know in the high seventies eighties 1225 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 2: as opposed to another rock. FIGHT i don't think they're 1226 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 2: going to let that happen for the second straight time AGAINST. 1227 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 2: Ucla from a you, know conference championship, perspective it's already. 1228 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 2: DONE ucla has it wrapped up points of the, ring 1229 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 2: but they need to win this to stay remain however 1230 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 2: you want to see. It on the one, line it's 1231 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 2: clearly important To. Cronin he's talked about the seating from 1232 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 2: the very first reveal. Show it's something they're talking about 1233 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 2: in their locker. Room you're going to see a great 1234 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 2: effort FROM. Ucla BUT i Think arizona it's in the same. 1235 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,200 Speaker 2: Thing it's like this is for national reputation and for 1236 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 2: seeding for them as. Well you, know you don't want 1237 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 2: to slide all the way back to the three or 1238 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 2: four with the weekend of the season That fluky Lost 1239 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 2: arizona on the three quarter court.

Saturday Then Arizona state has to go travel 1260 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 3: to usc where. 1261 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 4: They'll be an underdog as, well and they play later 1262 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 4: in the. 1263 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 3: Night So oregon is going to Play stanford at four 1264 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 3: Pm eastern think On, saturday so there won't be any 1265 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 3: like we need to. Win they're gonna have to try 1266 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 3: to win, this BUT i think you're gonna get an 1267 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 3: inflated line On oregon who needs to. Win, Well stanford's 1268 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 3: gonna have to play in the first. ROUND i think 1269 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 3: it's a pretty good match up here For. Stanford The 1270 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 3: ducks have not been good defensively at all during conference. 1271 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 3: Play their ninth and just a defensive. Efficiency their biggest 1272 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 3: weakness is they cannot defend the three point. Arc they're 1273 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 3: second to last in the conference the three point field 1274 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 3: gol percentage. Allowed stanford second in the first in The 1275 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 3: pac twelve in three point field goal, percentage and they 1276 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:26,800 Speaker 3: take threes at. 1277 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 4: A pretty high. Rate they're around forty percent three point. 1278 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 3: Rate stanford also a top one hundred frequency team in 1279 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 3: terms of post, upsets which an area That oregon has 1280 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 3: struggled to defend this. Season they're ninth in The pac 1281 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,640 Speaker 3: twelve in points for possessional allowed off those posts, upsets 1282 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 3: And oregon is a very good. Offense they're very efficient 1283 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 3: at scoring down. Low but in the previous meeting With, 1284 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 3: stanford Which stanford, Won oregon shot just forty three percent 1285 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 3: from inside the, arc only fourteen points at the, rim 1286 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 3: And stanford forced them into thirty shots from behind the, 1287 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 3: arc which is Anario oregon has struggled. Offensively SO i 1288 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 3: think this is a pretty decent match up here For. 1289 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 3: STANFORD i think maybe we'll get an inflated lot In. 1290 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 3: Oregon we see this typically towards the end of the regular, 1291 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 3: season with teams that need to win and teams that 1292 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 3: you know a winner loss doesn't really affect their their 1293 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 3: seeding in the conference. Tournament so Ken pom has this 1294 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 3: At oregon minus. Seven So i'll Play stanford anything plus 1295 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 3: seven or. 1296 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 5: Better. 1297 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah that they just those players just can't Get it's 1298 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: a very complex defense to almon, runs and they just 1299 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 1: can't seem to get. It and they'll. Run play a 1300 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 1: lot of zone and mixing a lot of zone even inter, 1301 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: possession And stanford has been pretty good against zones this. 1302 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: Year one last, One i'll throw Out West virginia at 1303 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: home Against Kansas. STATE i Think West virginia is in 1304 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 1: the field as they should, be But i'm going To 1305 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: they're nineteenth On. KEMPOM i have them as a top 1306 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 1: twenty five power rated. Team but if they lose this, 1307 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: game they're gonna be six and twelve in the. Conference 1308 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't look. Great and then if you yeah, So 1309 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: BUT i think this is a great spot for them 1310 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 1: here at home Against Kansas, state WHO i think they 1311 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 1: match up really well. With AND i Think Kansas state's 1312 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: probably at the peak of its value right. Now you, 1313 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 1: know they've won three they won four, straight three of 1314 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,960 Speaker 1: them came at. Home they've been amazing at home this. 1315 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Year they other one came against just plummeting in free 1316 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: Fall Oklahoma state team and actually greater that as An 1317 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: Oklahoma state. Win Kansas state has been pretty lucky from 1318 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 1: a shot quality, perspective both from three on offense and 1319 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: guarding the three on. Defense but it's just a good 1320 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: match up For western no. ONE i, Mean kansasate has 1321 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: been dominant at home this. Year western should have beat 1322 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 1: them at home earlier this, season and they weren't even 1323 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 1: playing nearly as well as ther right. Now their rotations 1324 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 1: kind of more refined right. Now in that, Game West 1325 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: VIRGINIA i think led by fourteen to one. Point they 1326 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: ended up losing in. Overtime think they shot twenty of 1327 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight from the free throw. Line they missed eighteen free. 1328 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,440 Speaker 1: Throws and this is A West virginia team that's shooting 1329 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty good from the. LINE i think they are like 1330 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: seventy five. Percent so why is this a pretty good? 1331 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: Matchup it's a good. SPOT i think it's a good 1332 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 1: sell high spot Of Kansas, State But Kansas state will 1333 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 1: turn it. Over that's good For. Virginia West Kansas state 1334 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 1: will Value that's Basically West Virginia's western is two primary 1335 01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 1: avenues of. Offense you, know if they're turning you over 1336 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 1: and then get some easy. Buckets that's that's. ONCE i 1337 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 1: guess you're just say. Three but they're two main areas 1338 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,440 Speaker 1: where they get. Offense they get to the line at 1339 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,600 Speaker 1: a top fifteen rate, nationally While Kansas state's their defense 1340 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety fifth in that. Category and Then 1341 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 1: westerrginia dominates the offensive glass twenty six nationally and offensive rebound. 1342 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Percentage you can offensive rebound Against Kansas. State SO i 1343 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 1: think this is a pretty good matchup for Wes, virginia 1344 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: a pretty good.
