1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: What is up Straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: Fire for Monday, March eighteenth. It is a glorious Monday.

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: It's good to be back on the podcast. Your boy,

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: Oh boy. Let's just say I was moving for a

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: couple of days.

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: Quick move.

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: We bolted left southern California for Arizona. Just had to

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: dodge the taxes. Just kidding. We did not go to Arizona.

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: That was my standard line when I would run into

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: dad's and parents around town. Oh you're moving?

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: Where you going?

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 3: I said, Arizona? They look at it. What And then

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: I would just wait like that pregnant pause of me, like,

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: just kidding, We're moving like four blocks away. But as

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: you guys know, I've talked about it, moving is extremely difficult.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: We actually had a great move. I was hired a

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: company and we worked out a deal. It was reasonable

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: and I couldn't be more thrilled. We're in the new place.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: It was. Moving's never easy, okay, and I'm not gonna

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: bore you with the details, but let's just say I

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: am sore back, knees, elbow, and obviously we're not unpacked.

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: It's funny. People like, oh, when can I come see

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: the new place. I'm like, oh, yeah, it should be

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: unpacked by like May.

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: It's real.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 3: I mean there's so many boxes. The office right now

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: is just a makeshift office. So hopefully the sound is

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: not terrible. Rob G the master producer could clean it

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: up on the back end. But it's March Madness time.

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: I was able to fire off a lot of bets

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: during Championship Week. You guys know, this is my favorite

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: time of the year. Championship Week was the greatest I've

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: ever had. One day was a blood bath. Thursday, the

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: first day off. Thursday and Friday. The herd was off,

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: so Thursday off and I kind of fired too many bets.

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't totally locked in. I did some you know,

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm packing and getting ready, and I did some really

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: dumb in game bets. It was a blood bat, the

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: worst college basketball day of the season, but the only

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: losing day of the week. I made back for it

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: with wins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and ended up

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: with a monster week. One losing day, I think five

45
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: winning days. I don't think I bet the other there

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: was one day. I didn't have any action, but I

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: love March Madness. The brackets came out, we'll dive into

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: them shortly with Jason Lisk, a guy I used to

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: work with who loves the tournament, big Missouri guy. No

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: Missouri in the tournament. We'll get to all that. I

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: just really quickly off the top one and two. Some

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: NFL stuff went down, and I'm not going to get

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: into all of it because we'll do like a free

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: agency recap once everything's done. But I'll just say, first

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: of all, I'm excited that the Jets are entertaining Mike Williams,

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: the receiver who was cut by the Chargers. I think

57
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: that happened Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday, whatever. Mike Williams released by

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: the Chargers. Chargers making big moves. Okay, Chargers traded Keenan

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: Allen to the Bears, which, oh my gosh, but Jets

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: will entertain Mike Evans. They get the first crack at

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: the big, tall receiver downfield threat. Maybe he can be

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: the guy Alan Lazard never was. And then Keenan Allen

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: goes to the Bears. I didn't think. I think the

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Bears got a fourth round pick like First of all,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen is an amazing pick up for Chicago. I

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: know everybod's gonna say, oh, he's injured all the time.

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: That's true, he's washed. I don't necessarily know that that's true.

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: But if you're a young quarterback like Caleb Williams, who

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: the Bears unequivocally will take it one. I mean, I

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: cannot imagine as being something like the Baker Mayfield and

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: they go like Jaden Daniels or whatever. But the Bears

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: have done some I think great, great moves around the

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: edges to maybe not this year dominate, but to set

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams up for some success. They add DeAndre Swift,

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: who I like. Remember Herbert and Roshawn Johnson are very good.

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: They have DJ Moore the number one. Keenan Allen is

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: now your number two. I mean, Keenan Allen was a

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: one for like seven years with the Chargers. Great possession

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: receiver DJ Morbles stretched the field. You got a good

80
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: tight end in Cole Kmett, another good tight end in

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: Gerald Evert, who they picked up. Offensive line was like

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: a little bit above league average. Last year. Darnel Right,

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: the rookie right tackle, had had a strong year. This

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: team's got some guys and now the Justin Fields has

85
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: moved on. And that's kind of the big story in

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: the NFL over the weekend. It was weird and I'll

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: get into it. Justin Fields shipped to the wait for it,

88
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: pitts Berg Steelers. Yes, the same deeb that just sighed

89
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. Oh boy, but here's the return for Fields.

90
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: Are you ready? A twoenty twenty five sixth round pick

91
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: that's conditional, It could be converted to a fourth. That

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: Fields plays a ton A sixth round pick that could

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: be converted to a fourth. Trey Lance fetched a four

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: and it wasn't conditional. Matt Jones got a sixth. I

95
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 3: guess it's what the league thinks of Justin Fields. Now,

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: everybody getting on my case. I did not really go

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: on Twitter as much during the move, but every time

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: I opened to people like hey, hey, hey, Jay, where's

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: that robust market for Fields that you talked about like

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: three months ago? Yeah, things were different three months ago.

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson was another market. Three months ago. Kirk Cousins

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: was thought to be going back to the Vikings. Three

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: months ago. Things change. Those two guys obviously cost way

104
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 3: less than Fields, who you had to give up draft

105
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: capital for. You could just sign Kirk Cousins. You could

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: just sign Russell Wilson for next to nothing because the

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: Broncos were eating his salary and so things kind of

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: fell apart for Fields and everybody getting on my case, Jay,

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 3: what are happened on the Fields market? Well, wait a minute.

110
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport, who broke this news of the Fields trade,

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: said four other teams now, he said at least, but

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's at least four other teams expressed interest

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: in Fields. But his reps important word there. His reps

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: asked for him not to be traded there. He wanted

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: the Steelers. Now a this could be Jason was right.

116
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: There was a robust market, but nobody wanted to. You know,

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: you don't want to overpay for Fields, because then you

118
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: just get if somebody able to give up a three

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: for Fields, Oh that's a horrible deal, third round big,

120
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's entity you know, they don't. You

121
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: can lose a trade on social media. That happens more

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: in the NBA. But you can get beat up so

123
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: much by your fans on social media that it spills

124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: over and then in narrative builds. I know that doesn't

125
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: sound right, but that's kind of the way it is.

126
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: Right now. It's weird social media not dictating things, but

127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: you get killed on enough of these trades, and you

128
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: know it certainly doesn't help your standing. The owners see

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: this stuff. They weren't hearing fan outrage, except you know,

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: you know, twenty five years ago, you go to games

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: and there's Cleveland Browns fans with paper bags over their

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: head or brown bag over their head, and yeah, you

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: see that. That's embarrassing. But now owners can get feedback

134
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: on trades that happen instantly. Who cares what the local

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: columnist says the Akron Beacon journal columnists, no disrespect, he

136
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: just doesn't hold the weight that I don't know your

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: three million followers on Instagram, do you know. It's just

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: it's totally different. It's just it's completely and now everybody

139
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: chimes in on everything, so you're not only dealing with

140
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: your fans, but the national perspective. And my guess is

141
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: that's why some of these teams were coy. Now I

142
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: will add fields reps or could just be playing this wisely,

143
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: Hey man, we would prefer it Fields didn't get traded

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: to that team that wants him. I don't know Philadelphia.

145
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: He ain't playing behind Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts not playing

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: his way out of a job. He ain't playing behind

147
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: pick Patrick Mahomes. He's the back of I'm just throwing

148
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: out names, Josh Allen. You know he's not gonna sit.

149
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: But he goes to Pittsburgh and even though reporters were

150
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 3: quick to point out Mike Tomlin reached out to Russell

151
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: Wilson to say he is the starter. I think you

152
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: guys know what's going on here. Russell Wilson kind of

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: started to run out of gas in Seattle. He goes

154
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: to Denver and was bad with Hackett, then with his

155
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: third offense in three years, was not great given his

156
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: contract with Peyton, and now he's going to a fourth

157
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: different OC and system in four years Seattle, to in Denver,

158
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: and now one in Pittsburgh. So it's like that's a lay.

159
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't could Russ fall off and just be out

160
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: of the job by six week six? I don't know

161
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: you think Mike Tomlin, who's in his final year, is

162
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: going to deal with this these issues. I doubt it.

163
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, last year, Pickett got hurt

164
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: behind a mediocre offensive line, Trubisky got hurt, Mason Rudolph

165
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: didn't play well. You think about this from the Steelers perspective,

166
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: they upgraded their quarterback room from Pickett, Trubisky, Mason Rudolph

167
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: to Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Pretty damn impressive if

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: you're Pittsburgh. Now, of course, the question is, what's that

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: old saying everybody, if you've got two quarterbacks, you don't

170
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: have any because really that's what Pittsburgh has. Not quite

171
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: a controversy, but you know, in the opener offense doesn't

172
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: look crisp Russ throws a pick or two fumble, they lose,

173
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: and you can start the.

174
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: Chatter.

175
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: When do we see Justin Fields? I'm telling you, if

176
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson in the opener, and then we don't have

177
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: the schedule yet, in the opener, if he's as bad

178
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: as Picket was last year against San France, we're gonna

179
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: see Justin Fields way sooner than anybody anticipates. Now, I

180
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: will be clear, I don't know if either of those

181
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: guys is gonna do well in Pittsburgh. I just I

182
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: don't have a great feeling for either of them. I am,

183
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: you know, I like Russell Wilson. I like the joke

184
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: that I kind of look like him. My wife heard

185
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: me say that on air, I think, and she was like,

186
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: you don't look like Russell's I was like, oh, thanks.

187
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: He's a handsome individual and you know is married to

188
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: a global music I don't know if I could say icon,

189
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: but you know, Ciara is a big deal. Obviously he's

190
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: a handsome individual. Must be doing something right. So I

191
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 3: will take those compliments. Yes, I will take them all

192
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: the time. But I'm rooting for Wilson. But I also

193
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: am rooting for Fields and like they've got some okay

194
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: skill position guys. They after Loot trading away Deontay Johnson,

195
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: they went and grabbed Van Jefferson. Eh, I mean they're

196
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: just reaching on guys. Their receiver room is Pickens, who

197
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: we know can be up and down, very talented. They've

198
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: got Van Jefferson, who was the onlyest like his third

199
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: or fourteen, Calvin Austin the third who's solid, the Marquez callaway,

200
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: Denzel Mims, who, oh my gosh, what a flame out

201
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: with the Jets, Like they're gonna need to upgrade in

202
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: the draft at wide receiver. They have Friarmouth the tight

203
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: end Friarmouth, and then Darnell Washington knew they drafted from

204
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: Georgia and I like the six seven kid. But we'll

205
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: see what happens in Pittsburgh. I just thought it was

206
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: absolutely fascinating that the Steelers go after Fields right after

207
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: they land Russell Wilson. Think about this, Russell Wilson signed

208
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: by Pittsburgh doing the victory dance, had a video ready

209
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: to push out. Then they trade away Picket and Russ

210
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 3: must have been like, Yo, this is my show. Well

211
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 3: must have been so amped and then Mike can you

212
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: imagine that? Called Mike Tom on like a Saturday afternoon. Hey, Russ,

213
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: just want to give your heads up for trading for

214
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: Justin Fields. Russell Wilson, What the hell's going on? What

215
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: are you doing now? There is, of course the chance

216
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: that Fields's reps have completely manufactured this four other teams

217
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: thing just to build up Fields as confidence. Remember his

218
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: reps asked him not to be traded there. So listen,

219
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: you guys don't have the games played creating leverage or

220
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: the appearance of leverage and it's like, looks like he

221
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: had none. Now Fields can hold his head high. Oh four,

222
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: their teams wanted me. Now he may then go to

223
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: his agents to be like, who were they and they

224
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: could you know, say, I don't want to mention it.

225
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: They were backups. Then Rustling just be like you're fired,

226
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: or they just lie. But just a fascinating situation. We'll

227
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: just get that out of the way. Justin Fields to

228
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: the Steel Show. NFL Base Not all done, obviously, we

229
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: still have Mike Williams a couple other big names to go.

230
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: But that was the big one. And now let's turn

231
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: to my main man who has covered Mark Banness for

232
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: a long long time, breaking down the brackets. I'll do.

233
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: I made ten bets on the tournament ten first round

234
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: bets on Sunday night when the brackets came out and

235
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 3: the lines came out, and I'll tell you those after

236
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: you hear from Jason Lisk. Buying tickets to a big

289
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: First of all, I'll start here, did you bet any games?

290
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: As soon as the line started to trickle out?

291
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: What you know? I wish? I wish because I've been

292
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: so busy with other things that I haven't actually had

293
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: time to dig in and find the lines that want.

294
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I just started looking at them, and that's mainly because

295
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: we're doing so much other things to get ready for

296
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: the brackets that we release, So I've got to run

297
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: all the numbers, and I've got to you know, check

298
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: check a lot of other stuff. So I'm hoping to

299
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: dig into that tonight. Hopefully I haven't missed too much

300
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: early action. I know there's probably been a little line

301
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: movement on some of the ones.

302
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: Well, we'll start with one that I fired on Samford Kansas,

303
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: so I saw eight and a half. I saw it

304
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: six as low as six and a half Lisk. Let's

305
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: be real with that. If Dickinson and mccullor don't play,

306
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: Kansas could be in some trouble. Well, yeah, that's already

307
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: an issue.

308
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: That numbers bad if either of them don't play. And honestly,

309
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: I think the indication I think they're probably playing. How

310
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: well and how fit they are is a different question.

311
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I think that they will try to play. Whether Dickinson's

312
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: shoulder holds up is a completely different question. I think

313
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of risk, So I don't that was

314
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: one of the first ones because a you got that factor,

315
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: you got to not deep Kansas team. So if Kansas

316
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: is impacted by any injury in this game, they aren't

317
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: very deep as we saw, and Sanford will run them,

318
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: and Sanford will try to run the pace. They'll press,

319
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: they'll pressure the ball, they'll shoot lots of threes and

320
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: try to make the pace at the kind of speed

321
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: they want to play.

322
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: Now, I am looking to see where this game is.

323
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: It looks like this is going to be at altitude.

324
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Yes, and that probably is the same that probably helps

325
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the deeper team likes to run.

326
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: Honestly, Yeah, interesting, Let's let me see what time? Is

327
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: this a night game?

328
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

329
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, Kansas just the vibes, oh it is,

330
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: it's well, it's an evening game. In Salt Lake. We'll see.

331
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: I don't love Kansas. I know you have a soft spot.

332
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: They won the title two years ago. Obviously, great coach.

333
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: You think I have a soft spot, Jason, Are you serious?

334
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm joking. I'm joking, mister Missouri. Yes, yes, yes, kidding.

335
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: All right, So let's go to a team that a

336
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: favorite that I think a lot of people are going

337
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: to be on because of how well they looked. Illinois.

338
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: You win the Big Ten Tournament. They've got some pretty

339
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: good vibes right now. Ken Pom has them. Oh wait,

340
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: they're only ninety third in the country defensively. Historically, if

341
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 3: you're not top twenty, forget about a title. If you're

342
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: not top fifty, you're in jeopardy in round one. No,

343
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: the Ken Palm top ten. Illinois has the worst defense

344
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: of any of them. We'll get to a couple of

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: the others that are bad defensively, but where are you

346
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: on the Ilini?

347
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: So this is one that popped when we were looking

348
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: even before the turn. We didn't know the matchups because

349
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: obviously Illinois looked really good. They just won the Big

350
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Ten Tournament. They profile, they have a lot of commonalities

351
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: with other teams that got knocked out early, including some

352
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten teams. Namely, offensive metrics way better than defensive,

353
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: and the issue on defense is they don't force turnovers.

354
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: They're kind of the Big Ten style. But when you

355
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: get in tournament play, we saw Ohio State get knocked

356
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: out by Oral Roberts, very similar metrics, a team that

357
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: profile is very similar to this one. So there are

358
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: some risk factors because teams that don't turn people over

359
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: and are offensively skewed, A lot of those high seats

360
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: has bitten it unexpectedly early, and I think the inability

361
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: to turn teams over that are under and get stops

362
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: that way is a factor in that.

363
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: If you look at remember the team with the Iowa

364
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: team with Luca Garza, that was a really good offense.

365
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm just looking out. They got bounced by Oregon, which

366
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: to me, I remember betting. I was all over Oregon.

367
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: They got smashed by organ You can't get stops at all.

368
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: Now Morehead State I think is getting catching thirteen. I

369
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: did bet that. I don't know if they're gonna win outright, and.

370
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: I think this the market has moved on this, so

371
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it moved earlier if they just

372
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: moved it that way, because if you went by raw

373
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: power rating, Illinois should be favored by like fifteen or sixteen.

374
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, I think the numbers already

375
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: been put where it is because of some of these factors.

376
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I think you're justing some maybe some action on playing

377
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: those factors because and I still think because of the

378
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: risk Illinois, you might want to look at the dog

379
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: because of their style of play and how other tournament

380
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: teams have played with that style.

381
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of all gas no break, how about the Kentucky Wildcats,

382
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 3: one of the most exciting offenses in the country. I

383
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: think they've probably got three about two and a half

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: first round picks. I don't know if Wagner's gonna make it.

385
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: He's kind of struggled here. They are fifth in the

386
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: off in the country and offense one hundred and eight

387
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: in the defense. They don't stop anybody. Now. I don't

388
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: know that Oakland takes them down. But I have a

389
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: lot of people love Kentucky and listen, they're a damn

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 3: good story, but their brackets interesting. Texas Tech's in there,

391
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: n C State, which just got hot. I don't believe

392
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: in them. Florida, eh, and then Marquette. We don't know

393
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: about colek Is Kentucky a boom Bus team or what.

394
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: I think that entire quarter of that bracket is a

395
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: boom Bus team. Where nothing would surprise me. That Tech

396
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: team has played really well until Houston in the second half,

397
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: but they have had to go kind of small ball

398
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: out of necessity. They're starting center Warren Washington's been out

399
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: for about five think five or six games, but they've

400
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: actually put things together during that stretch and looked good.

401
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Now will that continue? They might need somebody to guard

402
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: DJ Burns, but you know, Texas Tech normally defends their

403
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: tough nose team. They've been playing a little smaller ball

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: because of the injuries and having success with it. But

405
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: that's a variable factor. Florida's injury today, the groups of

406
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: injury to hang on. I mean they're a.

407
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: Deep en I didn't see that what happened? Broken leg?

408
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so he's out, yeah, And so I think

409
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: they're a deep enough team they could overcome it. But

410
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: obviously losing a guy at some foot and has offensive

411
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: skill is going to impact a game.

412
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: Not great. I am contractually obligated to ask you about

413
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: my JMU Dukes. I graduated from JMU. They are facing Wisconsin.

414
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: Wisconsin's going to be one of those sexy picks. They

415
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: just beat Purdue. It's Wisconsin. They're always in the mix.

416
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm I don't know where are you on this matchup anything.

417
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: I haven't bet the game, but I'm just curious where

418
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: you are.

419
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously James Madison is going to be a trendy pick.

420
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: They beat Michigan State to start the year in a

421
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: game where Michigan State couldn't at the side of a

422
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: barn one for twenty from three in that game. But

423
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: this James Madison team is another This kind of twelve

424
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: thirteen area is filled with these teams this year that

425
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: I think like to play at pace, pressure teams kind

426
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: of create, which is a good recipe to go against

427
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: the goliath or a team from a bigger conference, I

428
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: think because they don't always see that. Now, this Wisconsin

429
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: Tine I think is better now. Their backup point guard

430
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: was out for a lot of Big Ten play. That

431
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: really impacted them because they have no other true point

432
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: guard on the roster other than CHUCKI Hepburn, and so

433
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: even when Hepburn was out, in the Big Ten tournament

434
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: and he's back. They still played well. I think they're

435
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: I think they're better. They also had some really bad

436
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: three point attempt up in conference play. They were fourteenth

437
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: out of four and three point percentage made against them.

438
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: So that's kind of why the results look good in

439
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: November and December and didn't in February, and then they

440
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: played well again. So I think some of that's just randomness.

441
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: I think this wisconstant team just had their ups and

442
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: downs based on the lock. I think they're a good team.

443
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I think so this numbers got into like four or

444
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: four and a half, right, Yeah, yeah, I don't know

445
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: where to stand on that, because I feel sometimes it

446
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: gets so trendy. The number gets low enough on a

447
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: team that's capable of winning, like.

448
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: You don't have to bet every game obviously, Oh though

449
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: it's fun. I'm in a Calcutta. I don't know if

450
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: you've done one. Two years ago we had Kansas and

451
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: we won and it was a nice winfall last year

452
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 3: we had Arizona and I don't need to remind you

453
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: they ate shit in the first round, blew a late

454
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: lead to I believe Princeton, and it was it was

455
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: a rough one, but like when you know, we have

456
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: a group doing it, and when I look at the

457
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: when I go to the table, I'm like, guy nineteen

458
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: of the last twenty one champs. We're top twenty offensive

459
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: defense in Ken Pump. So if you don't meet that,

460
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm just automatically crossing you out right. Unfortunately, there's not

461
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: a lot of those this year. It's just top twenty

462
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: offensive defense. Yukon, Houston, Auburn, which I don't know if

463
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: I like, Arizona, which I definitely don't like. And there

464
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 3: was one other one.

465
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: The Duke. Now, duke fell out, fell out?

466
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: Duke fell out? Yeah, no, no, it looks like Marquette.

467
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: That's it.

468
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: Marquette's close And honestly, if.

469
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: They heard oh Purdue, it was Purdue, they fell out there.

470
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: Twenty first in defense.

471
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: Marquette's right on the edge. And here's the thing, Marquette,

472
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: if you've taken at full strength, probably is inside it.

473
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

474
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's right. Twenty first in offense.

475
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Markett's in there. So I mean, if you

476
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: had all the cold games and you had Stevie Mitchell

477
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: healthy for every game, they're probably in there.

478
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: I think last didn't last year. They let me see,

479
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: I think they lost in the second round last year

480
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: and I liked that.

481
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: We lost to Michigan State. Yes they did, that's right.

482
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: How was the Marquette draw so they would face Florida

483
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: in the second Marquettes?

484
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: Could?

485
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: Man? I like this team, It is one of my

486
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: Florida is Colorado Colorado boise to play and I think

487
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: Colorado boys, Yes, that's correct. And the color depending on

488
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: how Florida. I mean, that's Colorado's good and has depth.

489
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: That's it. Could they could easily that could be a

490
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: tight like a close spread in the second round or

491
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: in the first round between Florida and the winner of

492
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: that game.

493
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: So oh, I didn't even know. Wow they got They

494
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: got Lampin, the big kid from TCU playing in Colorado.

495
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 3: Colorado's got some pros on this roster. Huh.

496
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the Silva whose brother played at Stanford. Yeah. Yeah?

497
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: Oh?

498
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: How did they end up with a ten seed?

499
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

500
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 3: They they struggled in.

501
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: The Pac twelve, didn't have a lot of quote quad

502
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: one opportunities, so I think they kind of didn't win

503
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: the games they should. Did they did Arizona, they went

504
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: to against Arizona.

505
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: So I was gonna look at it that.

506
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was looking to fade the Mountain West

507
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: and they down.

508
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah I was doing. I was the same, and then

509
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: they seated him where I was like, because I thought

510
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: some of those teams would be seated two spots higher

511
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: and I would be able to like play against like

512
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: Utah State is six and they made use all stay

513
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: and eight they had Nevada. I thought nevadaould be like

514
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: a seven and I might get to get them with

515
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: somebody like, you know, a Michigan State. But that's how

516
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: it worked out. So, yeah, the Mountain West didn't get

517
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: the draws and the seeds as high as I was

518
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: hoping to to play against them.

519
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: Last year, Perdue goes down opening round. This year, do

520
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 3: you see any one seeds going down? Anybody in jeopardy?

521
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm never I can't say I'm going to

522
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: predict the one seed to go down. I will say that,

523
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: how about a two seed?

524
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 3: Then you want to you want to take down Rick Park.

525
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: Here's here's the thing. I'll say this, Arizona. I like

526
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: their draw after this round. Long Beach is actually you know,

527
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: the monster got fired, but Long Beach beat usc right,

528
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: they beat they want at Michigan back when Michigan at

529
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: actually was not completely falling apart and imploding. They won

530
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: at DePaul, who's not great, but they're a big I mean,

531
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: so they beat major conference schools and then they had

532
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: a rough stretching in their own conference. They had some injuries.

533
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: So I think this long Beast team is better than

534
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: your typical fifteen. I mean, I think it's a So

535
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: I can see Arizona struggling out the gate. But then

536
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: if Arizona gets past that and avoids the big upset,

537
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: I think Arizona the path opens up for we've seen.

538
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: I think last year no number one seeds made the

539
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: Final four. No number one or two made the Elite eight, first.

540
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: First time ever none made the Elite Ate since they

541
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: seeded it and it went to sixty four. So I

542
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: like New Mexico. I'll just say this. They kind of

543
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: profile as a team that could do well out of

544
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: like a ten to eleven seed range. They've got great guards,

545
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: they can turn people over at turnover eight went down

546
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: a bit, and conference play the second time through ain't

547
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 1: going against teams that they haven't seen. It'll travel in

548
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: short rest situations in the NCAA Tournament, favored because they

549
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: power rate higher than Clemson. Going back to twenty eleven

550
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: when we went to the fill to sixty eight, there

551
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: have been eleven occasions where a team seeded eleven or

552
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: worse was the favorite in the first round. Those teams

553
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: are ten to one and nine and one by double digits,

554
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: which goes to show you if Vegas makes a team

555
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: who the committee put as a it's kind of a

556
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: should not be favored, but they end up being favored.

557
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Those teams have panned out pretty well. They've gotten their chance,

558
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: they've kind of played with that chip on it. They

559
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: go into a game where they're the road team by seed,

560
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: but they go out and they've done really well. The

561
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: only one since COVID was Michigan over Colorado State a

562
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Michigan barely got in right at

563
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: the bubble, beat up on Colorado State and then went

564
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen.

565
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: Damn, I have Boston. I'm hearing on Boston Colls. I

566
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: bet Clemson in that game.

567
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean I have them both rated better than their

568
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: raw ratings. I think Clemson's better when Jack Clark Clark plays,

569
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened in the a SEC tournament game.

570
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: They got run by Boston College, right, so I don't

571
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: know what happened.

572
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of got smacked around.

573
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: It was like one of their worst defensive performances all year.

574
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: It was.

575
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they haven't beaten anybody good recently. Damn it.

576
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: Maybe that maybe I misfired team, not seated one or

577
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: two that you think will make it make a deep run.

578
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: Not seed one or two. Well, obviously the Auburn's one

579
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: of the ones. But they're in a tough I mean,

580
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: they're in Yukon's I feel like that's a that's an

581
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: insane matchup in the sweet sixteen.

582
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 3: Well that's if Auburn gets there. Are we certain they're

583
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: going to beat Yale?

584
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean that we're never certain of anything. But yeah,

585
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: they're a pretty big favorite. I mean they're for a

586
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: four set, like twelve and a half thirteen.

587
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's fair.

588
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: I Mean here's the thing the team. Maybe they lose

589
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: to a team like like Yale. They're bad games to

590
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: the extent they've had any have been against elite offenses

591
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: like Kentucky Tennessee having a great offensive game, Florida who's

592
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good offense and when they're clicking, plays a

593
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: fast paced teams that can shoot, don't turn the ball over,

594
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: and can get on the offensive boards. For the most part.

595
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's Yale against this Auburn team.

596
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: I think I think they now Connecticut can obviously do

597
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: those things if they meet, and so that's probably it's

598
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: probably the worst region for Auburn to be in. I

599
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: think if they were in like Purduce region, I would

600
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: like their ability to pressure produce guards. But I'm not

601
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: sure they can do that With.

602
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: Youvan freshman point guard for Auburn, Does it concern you, I.

603
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Mean they run a ten deep rotation. I don't think

604
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: it concerns me. I just you know, the question is

605
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: they've been dominant, but will they are they as quite

606
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: as dominant as they've looked because they beat up on

607
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: like the South, they beat up on South Carolina's wives,

608
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: They beat up on teams that aren't as great on offense,

609
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Like if you are not a leite at shooting, I

610
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: think Auburn is gonna wear you down.

611
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 3: So San Diego State rock fight against Auburn in round two.

612
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good that that is. That's actually going

613
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: to be a.

614
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: Great contrasting styles. Interesting.

615
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you asked about whom I make a deep run.

616
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: We haven't mentioned Creyton. There were three spicy or not really?

617
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, possibly. I think they're different than Illinois. They don't

618
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: turn I think they were last night checked they were

619
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: dead last and turnover eight Oh my gosh. So they

620
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: don't turn people over, but they at least pack it

621
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: in and with Cayl Grinnery they protect the paint. They

622
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: just don't turn people over.

623
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: So dead last and turnover percentage and they're three hundred

624
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: and fifty eighth and steel a lot of red on

625
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 3: the defense.

626
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: Creat Yeah, they don't. They don't force steals. They will.

627
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: They just pack it in and try to make make,

628
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, make twos against Yeah.

629
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: I like the big kid and I like Sho. I

630
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: like this team. I don't make you shoot.

631
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Obviously, dude can light it up. Yeah, I mean they

632
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: certainly have the ability. They're in that next tier. They're

633
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: in that next tier. Things got to break right for him,

634
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: They got to play well. But I think they can.

635
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: They're certainly capable of it. Man, I would I would

636
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: have said Duke a couple of weeks ago. The way

637
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: they've closed is frustrated.

638
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: There.

639
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: They've been a balanced team and they've got like you,

640
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: you would think they have the pieces. They just lost

641
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and in the a SEC tournament, and

642
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: I was expecting that team to show better down the stretch.

643
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird with experience such a big deal in

644
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: this tournament. Duke has McCain, the young freshman who's good.

645
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: Proctor's a young guy, and then Mitchell's a young guy.

646
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: They're playing a freshman or two sophomores. A lot of

647
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: other teams list have three twenty two year olds and

648
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: a twenty three year old in the starting lineup. That's

649
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 3: a that has to matter, No, I mean.

650
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: It does to some extent, but I think it's also

651
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: can be overvalued. I mean, I saw I saw Virginia

652
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: as a senior point guard throw the worst pass I've

653
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: ever seen at the end of that Oh last year, yeah,

654
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: last year or so. I mean, you never know who's

655
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna make the play at the end of a game sometimes,

656
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean San Diego State certainly used a

657
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: veteran group that that that went on in March, and

658
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: same with Miami's key players.

659
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Duke, one of the Yeah, look one of the

660
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: Like they're like the seventh youngest or least experienced team

661
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: in the field, maybe eight. I just eyeballed it. Meanwhile,

662
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 3: at the top, you have TC, you, Texas, UNC, Creighton, Nevada, Illinois,

663
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: it's Jmu's up there. Let's if you ask me, Jay,

664
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: who give me a winner? And you didn't ask, but

665
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: I'll ask you. I would. Honestly, I think UNC is

666
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: gonna win the title.

667
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I don't.

668
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: Love that, but I will have you know. I'm like

669
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: a fifteen bracket guy, which I have. No you guys

670
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: can make fun of me. That's fine. I don't care.

671
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: I'm enhances my I'd rather enhance one.

672
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm worried about their defensive. They've caught some teams at

673
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: the right time when some other teams had some injuries

674
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: and then their their defense. Lately, they've been getting lit

675
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: up by a few teams, including n C State. I

676
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: mean n C State shot like, I think over sixty

677
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: percent effective field goal percentage against him in that in

678
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: that title game.

679
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I know this sounds weird, thought I thought

680
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: that was a good loss. I mean they swept n

681
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 3: C State rivalry. You know, NC State. It's like, we're

682
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: going to get these guys. They had everything to play for.

683
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: UNC had a one locked up because all right, they did,

684
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 3: they didn't bring it. I lost money on that game.

685
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, I just feel like, I.

686
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Mean, for the season, they're sixth on Kim Poman defensive.

687
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: It's just the last few. I mean, they've put up

688
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: some of their worst performances over the last kind of

689
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: eight ten games. Put the four stinkers.

690
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 3: All right, let's got Do you have any final fours

691
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: yet or have you done a bracket?

692
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: I haven't filled out an actual bracket.

693
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 3: So because you're the kind of guy who's gonna be like, yeah,

694
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: give me b yu.

695
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna no, but I will play a bunch

696
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: of them. I will play different rules. So I picked

697
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: different ways. You know, get some upset pools, get some

698
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: big pools, that kind of thing. I think a big

699
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: question in pools, and you know, Connecticut or not. I

700
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: think Connecticut's the favorite. Yeah, obviously, will they be too popular?

701
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: So it might be a matter of which pools do

702
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: you play them in versus which pools do you fade them?

703
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: In and then I think it's like figuring out, like

704
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: who's that team from the other side, if you want

705
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: to play that way, because I think I think you

706
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: have a chance with you know, you pick Arizona North Carolina,

707
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: there's a chance there. Marquette is interesting, highly variable. You know,

708
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: we don't know if coles one hundred percent, but man,

709
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: if he is, I think that's a team that can compete.

710
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: Houston has question marks. The Roberts thing concerned, Well.

711
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 3: Wait now, hold on, hold on. Before Saturday's beat down,

712
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: they didn't have question marks, right, and then all of

713
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 3: a sudden they get smoked by Iowa State.

714
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Jwan Roberts got a bone Bruce and on in the

715
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: semi final and then played like limited minutes and didn't

716
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: play in the second half because they were wrestling because

717
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: they were down big. But how how how is he

718
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: going to be by next week? It's a Bruce how

719
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: he'll like he's kind of a key player for them.

720
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: They've already lost one backup on the inside. They don't

721
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of size. They got a lot of

722
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: tough guards, but.

723
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: They need They're just a tough team.

724
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: They need Roberts though, And if Roberts isn't one hundred percent. Man,

725
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: I think they are a different team.

726
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: In my head, I keep seeing last year's lost to

727
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: Miami where they just like got smoked in Miami. I

728
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: think Miami went balk ers from three, but it was

729
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: like quick guards gave them problems, and you know, Miami

730
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 3: had a good shooting game in Houston's offense didn't show

731
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 3: up and it was a beatdown.

732
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: For sure, And so I think they've got question marks. Obviously,

733
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: we got Purdue Tennessee the same thing I said about, Like, dude,

734
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee like looked like a world beater until like literally

735
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: a week and a half. Agot, they lose to Kentucky

736
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: in a shootout where Kentucky lights it up. But then

737
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: they turn around and get like out physical big time

738
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: against Mississippi State. So what do we make of that?

739
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: Up until then, I said Tennessee was a very balanced team.

740
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be a tough one. Guys,

741
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: this is ten bracket contests. If you do one, you're

742
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 3: probably gonna be done opening weekend. But maybe you don't

743
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 3: love the tournament anyways, kept you too long. Jason Lisk

Speaker 3: Teamerankings dot com. He's also big on the pools. Obviously,

745
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 3: if sign up for his stuff.

746
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: Jason, you should check out our Calcutta tools. We actually

747
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: have some.

748
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: I will definitely be on there our Calcuttas Wednesday. So basically,

749
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: after you know, I get through Monday, back at work,

750
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: Tuesday will be like, oh yeah, dig it into the

751
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: Calcuttas because you know, we got a group of seven

752
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: guys and I don't want to miss I want to

753
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: hit some winners, hit some dogs. It's it's I'll just

754
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: say this. A large portion of the Calcutta is in Texas.

755
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 3: So I think probably the Bailers of the world, the Houstons,

756
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: the Longhors, all those get a little inflated. You have

757
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: to pay a bit of attacks, so A and M probably.

758
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: So we're looking for teams obviously not in there, and

759
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: we're hopeful.

760
00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: Man, well there's plenty of Texas teams to get into. Thanks, yes, yeah, all.

761
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: Right, buddy, thanks a lot. Let's take it easy.

793
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 3: a lot of actionable info. I will and I'm sure

794
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: you listen to that. You heard some of some of

795
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: the bets that I've made for the first round. Listen,

796
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: this isn't the comprehensive list because I will be adding.

797
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 3: I'm sure I will be tinkering with some totals. I'm

798
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: not as big on totals, although two and one Sunday

799
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: with the totals. Here is what I have so far,

800
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: and again these are Sunday nights. Some of them may

801
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: have moved. I have Baylor minus thirteen against Colgate if

802
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 3: you want to get frisky. Baylor has struggled in a

803
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: bunch of first halves and they're a great second half

804
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: team with Scott Drew. So you could look at Colgate

805
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 3: first half, but I have Baylor covering minus thirteen. I

806
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: took a chance, simply a chance on Samford plus seven.

807
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: Now this was eight and a half, and I saw

808
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: it as low as six and a half this morning,

809
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: so I got it at seven on the way down.

810
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 3: This is simply a hedge against the Jayhawks injuries. Obviously,

811
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 3: everybody wants to play the mysterious game about oh one

812
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: hundred dickets are gonna play, and they're, you know, kind

813
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 3: of keeping it under wraps as to what his status is.

814
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 3: But Kansas is just trending extremely poorly. They've lost four

815
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: or five, The injuries are mounting. They lost a BYU

816
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 3: at home. I had Kansas in that one. They go

817
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 3: to Baylor loose, and then in a game that Houston

818
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: wanted so badly, in a revenge spot, Houston beats them

819
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 3: by thirty. And then they go up against Cincinnati in

820
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 3: the Big twelve tournament, and Folks, I'm just saying, with

821
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: Dickinson hurt and without mccullar, they have very very little offensively,

822
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: and I just I don't think anybody can confidently say

823
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: if either of them are going to be back, and

824
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: if they're not. I think Samford plus seven feels great,

825
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: and I would not be shocked if Samford took them down.

826
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 3: Sam I'll probably get Sanford Sanford money line when that's

827
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: an option. I have Colorado minus two. They're one of

828
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 3: the first four games. I have Clemson plus three. Everybody

829
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: loves New Mexico everywhere. I mean, everybody's jumping all Oh,

830
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 3: New Mexico, come on. They won though the MWC mount

831
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 3: West Mount West got six teams in. Jay, you gotta

832
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 3: love them, I saw a great if you guys are

833
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: into conspiracy theories, so the Big East got screwed. They

834
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 3: have one of the highest Ken Palm ranked teams ever

835
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: to miss the field, Saint John's Right, and they had

836
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: Villanova who missed the field, and a lot of people

837
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 3: are outraged. I've done. I'm done getting outrage over people

838
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: missing the field. But the conspiracy theory was the Big

839
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: East has a TV contract with Fox. Who does the

840
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: Mountain West have the contract with CBS. All of a sudden,

841
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: the MWC gets six teams in. That's a record for them.

842
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 3: And by the way, New Mexico cratering at the end

843
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: of the season had lost three or four heading into

844
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 3: the Mountain West tournament, and again it was one of

845
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: these like, oh, we lost to Arizona State a week ago,

846
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 3: let's get revenge and they beat him. Oh we lost

847
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: to Boise a week we got swept by Boise. Let's

848
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: get him back. And they and they fire up and

849
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: get a back. Colorado State they split, I believe, with

850
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: Colorado State.

851
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: I have to look at that.

852
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they split with Colorado State, and they were like,

853
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: we're better than these guys. And at this point they're rolling.

854
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: And then they go up against San Diego State, who's

855
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: very good, and they were like, we need revenge on

856
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 3: san Diego State for a loss like a month ago,

857
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: and they roll, and obviously I like New Mexico. They

858
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: have the Jamal Mashburn, who is, yes, the son of

859
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 3: the great Jamal Mashburn, the former Kentucky Wildcat, former NBA player.

860
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 3: And then the other guy they have is Jalen House,

861
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: who is the son of my I can't call him

862
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 3: my buddy, but I do text him and he's come

863
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: on the pod and he does listen to like any

864
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: Celtics chatter that I say. Jalen House, the son of

865
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 3: Eddie House, who is a scoring machine. I mean, Jalen

866
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 3: House started at Arizona State and he's just getting buckets

867
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 3: left and right. So yeah, they've got two dudes who

868
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: were good. But I'm just I'm gonna go with Clemson here,

869
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: a little more experienced team, Clemson, a little more battle tested.

870
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 3: Didn't love their loss to Boston College. They've lost three

871
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: or four. They haven't beaten NCAA tournament team since goodness gracious,

872
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 3: I don't know North Carolina back in early February. But

873
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Clemson. Uitis toget they have a

874
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: little bit more talent. So Clemson plus three. I took

875
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 3: BYU minus seven and a half against Duquese. Duquaine not

876
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 3: not a good not a good basketball team. I went

877
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: Colorado State. Oh so I have Colorado and Colorado State

878
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 3: minus one. I have more Head State getting thirteen against Illinois.

879
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: This is just a weird quirk. Illinois played in the

880
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 3: Big Ten Tournament, won it, Okay, played on Sunday, and

881
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 3: now they have a quick turnaround to play on Thursday.

882
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: Now Illinois is very good, and you say, Jason, their

883
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 3: college kids, who cares. I just like to point out

884
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: they had to win three games in the Big Big

885
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: Ten Tournament, battle tested against Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and

886
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: I think Illinois. Brad Underwood, by the way, his daughter

887
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 3: was an intern at Fox like one or two years ago.

888
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: Nice kid. Their offense at Illinois is awesome, but what

889
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: they don't do is play a lick of defense. He

890
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 3: has invested, you know, you could say, wisely in offense,

891
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 3: and he's one of those team were like, oh, we

892
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 3: can't stop anybody. We've seen profiles of Big Ten teams

893
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 3: that are all breaks, sorry, all offense, and they can't

894
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 3: stop anybody. So I would be careful with Illinois, so

895
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: I took more head stake getting thirteen. It's unlikely that

896
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: they'll pull the upset, but we'll see. I am on

897
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 3: Texas A and M getting one and a half against Nebraska.

898
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 3: The Nebraska story is fun. I hate to do that,

899
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 3: but I think I think this is a good spot

900
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: for A and M. I have Michigan State because Tom

901
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 3: is O A minus one and a half obviously, and

902
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: I have Drake getting one against Washington State. The PAC

903
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 3: twelve is just a dumpster fire this season, so I'm

904
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 3: just gonna fade them. I don't even talk about Arizona

905
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: and they're still pissed off at those guys for what

906
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: happened last year against Princeton, But so those are my

907
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: ten to start. Obviously, once more money lines pop up,

908
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: I'll have some money line parlays which have been on

909
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 3: fire lately. But I'm excited for the tournament. We'll do

910
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: a lot of tournament stuff this week. That's it for today.

911
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 3: Great to be back.

912
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 4: Talk to you tomorrow.
