1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,720
Speaker 1: All right, here we.

2
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: Go running the court.

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 3: Ten seconds remaining.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: They just go throw off to the basket, under the basket.

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: It's down the seventh seconds. It's the crew for the wind.

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: God make go amerracle I's the.

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Water hit that one from the parking lot. Shuck it all.

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: In college basketball, it's not the size on the dog

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: in the fight, it's the size of the fight in

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: the dog.

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Big Bets on Campus podcast. I

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: am your host, Kai McEwan, joined by the rest of

Speaker 2: Jim Root. Another exciting episode in college hoops. Guys, we're

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: ready to talk basketball per usual. We're running down some

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: live dogs week. We're talking about some major power games,

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: some games in which we think the spread is correct

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: in terms of this team's gonna blow the other one out,

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: trash Man pick of the week. And finally we will

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: be talking about a little spotlight section. And guys, this

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: one I'm pretty excited about. We're talking trends. We're talking

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: over trends, under trends.

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Let the good.

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: People know who they should be backing on these totals. Matt,

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna get right into it, and we're starting with

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: live dogs.

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Where's mine? Oh my dog, where's mine? Job?

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: And of course we need to recap how we did

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: last week. Maris, good job, us Maris took down Fairfield.

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: Kudos to Jim and Kai. Matt didn't come along, he

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: didn't see the light was but Matt Valpo failed to cover.

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: The Vata got canceled, okay, cool, Virginia failed to win

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: the game out right, uh and none of our longer

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: shots hit. So not a great week from the weave.

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: We'll try How did you.

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Brother this week? Podaho Pho?

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: You know I was a back through of them as well,

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: and maybe we should stop bleeding in the vandals. But Matt,

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: I want to start with you, Seaton Hall at DePaul,

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm throwing this out there for you. If the Demons

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: are going to pull an upset, in my opinion, it's

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: going to be at home. This one's on Thursday. Seaton

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Hall minus five, per Kin Pum. Do you think they

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: have a chance.

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: I mean, sure they have a chance. Here's what I'm

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: now with De Paul and to an even stronger extent, Butler,

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: they're just not that good. I was duped by De

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: Paul early on, Butler was never that good. I was

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: fooled into thinking they could be when they got healthier.

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: But they've both had multiple home hype spots quote unquote,

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: and you know, womp womp. Yeah, the matchup's favorable. You

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: could argue just with the length and size they have,

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: which kind of gates a key strength of seton Hall's gym.

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I think you're right. You're shaking

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: your head. Yeah, I'm trying to pick and peel back

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: layers of potential rationale to back to Paul here. But

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: guess what, I don't need to back to Paul's Bigge's play.

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: They lose every game.

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Yep. We've seen the second personality of De Paul come

60
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: to Tuition and that is Big East loser. That is

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: what they do. Unfortunately, new coach unfortunately the same trend.

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: Seaton Hall is too good. I think maybe they're a

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: little frisky in the first half. Seaton Hall comes in

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and is overlooking the Pirates, but I think they get

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: their act together by the second half. They've got playmaking guards.

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I thought we saw a little coming out party from

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Kadari Richmond against Yukon, just like I'm going to bully

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: ball my way to the rim, and he can do

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: that against gebra Witt or Jalen Terry if they try

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: to throw him at Richmond, maybe even Freeman Liberty, although

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: I do respect him as as a defender and with

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: his length. I think this is Seaton Hall's They're gonna win.

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Sorry not to Paul for.

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: Me, yeah, Worth noting de Paul's lost by seventeen and

75
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: fifteen at home already Providence and Villanova. Yeah, I'm going

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: to back off this one as blod guys. But Jim,

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: how about this one? Can Timshi with Colegate? They're going

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: to Navy on Thursday? Now, I go against Navy. Navy's

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: been a wagon against spread, but Colgate should, in asterisks,

80
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: be the best Patriot team this season. These two teams

81
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: didn't play last year, but Colegate was two and zer

82
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: against him in twenty twenty.

83
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Any thoughts, Yeah, I like Colgate as a BILO candidate

84
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: right now. I mean the fact that they're lined per

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: campom Is though they're like three points worse on a

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: neutral is a little bit crazy to me. But I

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: am not going against the Sea Troops for the rest

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: of the season. I may just claim to you guys. Internally,

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I will say it on the podcast.

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: The Navy Challenge.

91
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Baby, I'm betting on Navy every game until the end

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: of the season, and so their season is done, and

93
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: if they cover every game, I'll join the Navy. He's enlisting.

94
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: That's maybe a little call to action.

95
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: I love it.

96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: The last two seasons, Matt, do you know what they

97
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: are against?

98
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: Spread a lot too, A little high number to twenty.

99
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Four and eight. They were the best team in the

100
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: country last year fourteen and four. They're ten and four

101
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: this year. Team is a freaking wagon, extremely well coached

102
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: at the cellis. I love Colgate going forward, Matt, but

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: this isn't the game for I know.

104
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: I want to like do my own military school Challenge,

105
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: like like VM I like a team I love too

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: is Like, Okay, if they cover every game and the

107
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: rest of lay, I'm gonna enlist it VAMI and they

108
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: do ground and air and sea troops at VAI and

109
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: so I don't know, I think they don't like pick

110
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: one specific.

111
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can any list in the VM.

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: I to VMI and then like that's that's your outlet

113
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 3: to whatever school. Bavy Seals or yeah, right, whatever NBA

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: program is the equivalent there in the Navalka anyway, Okay,

115
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: back to my take on this game. Yeah, don't fade Navy.

116
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: That's where I'm at. So I'm I'm gonna do the

117
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: whole one to eighty about face and join the Navy

118
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: train with my boy gem Ki.

119
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: I can guarantee you I'll be on Colgate in that

120
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: game against the Spread though, so Jim, I guess we're

121
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: gonna have a head to head there.

122
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna be a head unfortunately.

123
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Uh, Matt, I bet I can tempt you with this game,

124
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: though you can. Siana goes to Marist on Friday. Now,

125
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: Kim Palm has this Mirist mind of state that seems

126
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: high because the Mac, and I'm talking about the Mac

127
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: when I say the Mac Metro Atlantic is a crapshoot.

128
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: Sanna's already pulled off win as an outright dog, and

129
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Maris has been slowed by COVID slash, well mostly COVID.

130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: I'll say, I don't think there's any injuries there, Matt. Do

131
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: you think Sienna is a live dog at Mirrors on Friday?

132
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I do. Sana has been my most profitable

133
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: team all season, by the way, and they've been kind

134
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: of bad at least they were to start. They had

135
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys out of the lineup. Now they're

136
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: getting healthier team. I picked a finish second league, so

137
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: I was really high on the Saints coming in. Probably

138
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: too high in hindsight, but they're even priced like a

139
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: bottom of the barrel max squad. They've covered four of

140
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: the last five. They lost in ot to Manhattan and Home.

141
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: That's the only conference lost. I think they're a live

142
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: dog here. Mary's has been really good. But John Dunn

143
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: coach Team Jim is not a favorite caliber team. That's

144
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: a team you win the back of the dog, so

145
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: you can fade him as a favorite. I'm in on that.

146
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you don't know if Marris point guard jou Atuca,

147
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: the freshman phenom, is going to be back. He's been

148
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: in protocols. Yeah, Matt San has been great. I got

149
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: thrown off the Scent because I lost two straight overtime

150
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: bets with them, and I was like, screw this team.

151
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate in Manhattan.

152
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Yep, that was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. You

153
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: got to stick with the process, not the result. The

154
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: Saints have been undervalued and they remain undervalued. I you

155
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: on this one as well, Kay, I think Sienna beats Marist.

156
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: Find hard to believe Sanna is your most proful team.

157
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: They're five and six against the spread. I need to

158
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: see your numbers, Matthew. Yeah, I need to see you

159
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: prove it per way. I dare you.

160
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: I think next game Louisiana at Texas State Texas State

161
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: minus four. It's on Saturday, Jim. I think Louisiana's on

162
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 2: a rocket ship to the moon. It should be nearly

163
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: healthy for this game. Texas State's been on the shelf

164
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: since December thirtieth, coming off a shorthanded home loss to Troy.

165
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: Are you a Cajun's believer against a team that in

166
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: Texas State that's been very, very good in Sun Belt

167
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: play the last couple of years.

168
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Kai, I am a raging Cajun'll tell you what. Yeah. No,

169
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I love the Cajuns. Coming into the season. I thought

170
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: they were the second best team in the league behind

171
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Georgia State. Georgia State has had their own issues, so

172
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: the Cajuns right now reside atop the conference. You mentioned

173
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: Texas State's dominance of the sun Belt. I do worry

174
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: about that they've been a different team in Sun Belt

175
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Player than they have in the non con But this

176
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Louisiana team is immense and immensely talented. They've got massive size,

177
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: like a high major front court. If they get Jordan

178
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: brown Beck in there, and that they got Au playing

179
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the point guard, they've got actual facilitation in the back court.

180
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: I think the Cajun's win here too.

181
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas State has been a team I've been stubbornly

182
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: fading for like the last few years, not quite to

183
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: Navy's annoyance, but I'm all in on the Cajuns finally

184
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: getting healthy. They've played much better than I thought they

185
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: would when they even haven't been full strength. So the

186
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: fact that they've already kind of propped up their baseline

187
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: for me above where I thought, and now they're getting

188
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: more and more weapons back in the mix, although there

189
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: is like diminishing returns, like obviously you added like a tenth, dude,

190
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: you can't really get much better than you already are.

191
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: But Louisiana is awesome, man. Like this the team's going

192
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: to turnd back to top one hundred status. We've seen

193
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: Bob Marlin Field top one hundred teams before, like not

194
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: so long ago.

195
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: So this is very tricky heavy and this one is.

196
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, with premier talent, big time athletes, power conference dudes.

197
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: Nothing flukey about the trajectory that Cadence.

198
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Run right now, all right, I'm gonna throw in one

199
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: package deal for you guys, quick takes on this, and

200
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: then I'm going to open the floor a two pack here. Oregon,

201
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: do they get one win in the UCLA slash USC

202
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: road trip? They're going Thursday to UCLA, They're going Saturday

203
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: to USC. Can the Ducks win one of these games?

204
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: Jim Oh, I don't think so.

205
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: I've been I was highing the Ducks preseason, but I'm

206
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: kind of all the way off. They let Oregon State

207
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: shoot like seventy percent inside the arc against them in

208
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: rivalry game. The defenses deeply, deeply flawed math. Yet it's

209
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: like one hundred and twentieth in the country and they're

210
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: going against two teams that can give them serious problems inside.

211
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ducks, I can't get there.

212
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need like Kenny Wooden to come out of

213
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 3: retirement and put back on an organ uniform. Maybe he

214
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: has a extra eligibility.

215
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: Dante kep thing should be like good interiors.

216
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: It should be awesome. They've had moments offensively, and Nate Biddle,

217
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: the guy who hyped up before, is as offensive skill

218
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: they just don't have like that Lynch Pennant of the defense,

219
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: which has made Oregon elite elite in years past. So

220
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: without that, I think they're kind of lacking the DNA

221
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: that we want from organ. It's probably what plus six

222
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: hundred if you were to bet money line like odds

223
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: that they win at UCLA or at USC or be

224
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: kind of high. You think it's that high.

225
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: I bet they're not even plus six hundred in either games.

226
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: I think it'll be close, like to eight hundred both games. Yeah,

227
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: the math are probably closer to four to three hundred.

228
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know.

229
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: Maybe you're right. I'm having the spreads big ten to twelve.

230
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: I think they're even higher just because of how dominant

231
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: USC's been and UCLA still I think regarded as a

232
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: top ten team.

233
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: We'll see, guys, they need to add. Jim, you might

234
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: have one in the holes to there.

235
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm taking VC you at Saint Bonaventure on Friday.

236
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: I think VC is the best team in the A ten.

237
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Boonbis will be quite back up to

238
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: full strength. We will see them tonight Tuesday, as of

239
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: our recording, so last night for those most of you listening.

240
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, we'll see who they have in the lineup.

241
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: But even then there's only five guys that matter on

242
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: that team, and they haven't developed a bench coming off

243
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: a pause, I don't think they're going to be quite there.

244
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I love this VCU team, so I think they went

245
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: outright at Saint Donaventure on Friday.

246
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: Matthew, anything for you, Yeah, But one I'm gonna throw

247
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: out there is this Saturday. Furman is going to Chattanooga,

248
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: and Chattanooga has been insanely good. Like Sylvia, Desusa completely

249
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: dominates that conference, and we've seen Furman be dominated inside.

250
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: North Carolina comes to mind. But they have upset potential.

251
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Man.

252
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: I think when they play their small ball will spread

253
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: you out. They have a really high ceiling if they're

254
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: firing all cylinders. So I think the Paladins, the Paladins,

255
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: the men in fur as we'd like to call them,

256
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: are a live pup, but'll probably be catching like eight

257
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: in that game. Just because Nuga has been so awesome. Like,

258
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I think you're going a pretty good price Ferman money line.

259
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: Only four teams are shorter per kimpom average height. Yeah

260
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: that I'll be honestly.

261
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: What we'll see, all right, guys.

262
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: Next section, blowout City. Last week not great for blowout City.

263
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: FIU ended up losing outright to Bethune Cookman, Prairie View lost.

264
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: Prairieview lost outrights in Missississippi Valley State, which is one

265
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: of the weirdest results of all season, but.

266
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: Then dominated FIU. Let's just like they.

267
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they dominated. It wasn't even close. I p U.

268
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: I covered against Wright States that wasn't a blowout. But

269
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: Belmont did blow out Semo, so way to go.

270
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: We got one right.

271
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: That's probably the worst blowout city performance we've had to date.

272
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a couple here, guys, and I

273
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: think we're going to hit some here. Ja.

274
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: I want to say this second on the hot seat.

275
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: Oh okay, it's on the hot seat, all right. Last

276
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,479
Speaker 3: week's performance given a rat in the season, this section.

277
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: You got to look to make a change. I think

278
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: Jim Weaver State minus eighteen against Idaho coming to town

279
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: on Thursday. I think we were said scores one hundred.

280
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: I do not see this game being close.

281
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Idaho has been running this year. They don't have

282
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: their room protector right now. Philip Pepple, he's potentially out,

283
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: has missed the last couple of games. And we were

284
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: state as like one of the best slashing teams in

285
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: the entire country. They've got four guys that just can

286
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: get to the rim, off the bounce, a lot of

287
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: lefties on that squad, which makes them weirdly difficult to

288
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: defend because you're just not expecting it to come from

289
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: that direction. I think WEAB is designed to blow out

290
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: bad teams at home, maybe not even a great crowd

291
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: with the d Matthew, but I don't trust Idaho on

292
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the road to keep this close. I disagree on Idaho.

293
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got so Jim, I just checked. I just

294
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 3: maybe get Pebble back. Last game, which coin cywerth is

295
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: the three point loss at Eastern Washington. They've lost by

296
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: six at Southern Utah. So they did beat South Dakota

297
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: State again. This team has a high ceiling because they

298
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: can get piss hot from three hit fifteen against Eastern Washington,

299
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: and Weaver likes to kind of play matador Ola defense

300
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: at times as well, So I don't think they're going

301
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: to be as religiously as they chase shooters off the line.

302
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: I just don't think that defense is in tip top

303
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: shape right now. I disagree. I like Idaho, Sorry, guys.

304
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: Fourth noting we were won by nineteen and twenty five

305
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: last year against.

306
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Idaho at Idaho.

307
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: Food for thought, OBC powers at the Ohio Valley versus

308
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: the dregs of the conference.

309
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Guys, league, this will be a staple in this section.

310
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: That's yeah, we should just like narrow the scope of

311
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: the section to OVC.

312
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: Fading crap teams like the summary is really really good

313
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: teams in the OBC, like the Murray States and the Belmonts.

314
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: The world crushed the bad teams in this league last

315
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: season against the spread and straight up. Of course, Murray

316
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: State and Belmont both have juicy matchups. Murray State it's

317
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee State on Thursday. Ken Pom says they are a

318
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: twenty point favorite billion turnovers hays kaied pro Tennessee State.

319
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Murray won by twenty last year. Belmont gets Austin p

320
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: a team that's not nearly as good as last season,

321
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: have brand coach, brand new system, not the same players.

322
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: They're also on Thursday, Belmont minus twenty two for Ken Pom.

323
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: I think it's a thirty point win for Belmont. Do

324
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: you like either game? Do you like both games? Do

325
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: you like neither game?

326
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: I actually like Murray Moore because Tennessee State can get

327
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: into like this helter skelter frenetic style and Murray State

328
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: will revel in that they're cut above talent speed size.

329
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: If anyone watched the Memphis game, you saw just up close, like, okay,

330
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: one of the most imposing physical teams in the country.

331
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: Murray State wasn't in no way overmatch to that game. Yeah,

332
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: I think they embarrassed Tennessee State. I think Austin p

333
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: can muck it up and maybe keep it closer against Belmont,

334
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: maybe maybe emphasis on maybe. I like Murray Moore though,

335
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: if you have to pick one of the.

336
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Two, yeah, I kind of like them both. This is

337
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: just going to come down to, like motivation for these favorites.

338
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I think Murray State and Belmont can blow out every

339
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: team in that league save Morehead, and it's just are

340
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: they going to do it every game or are they

341
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: going to kind of show up and go through the

342
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: motions in some games. I would imagine it's profitable if

343
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you've bet on them as like a big favorite every

344
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: time during league play. But they're gonna throw some stinkers

345
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: out there. They're not going to cover every time, so

346
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: I would probably still that both small. Kai. I think

347
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: over the long run, these are going to pay out.

348
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: And Jim, how about on Saturday a big South matchup,

349
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: Winthrop is going to Chuck South aka Charleston Southern. Kim

350
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: Pum has this only minus twelve for Winthrop.

351
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Why is this twelve twelve?

352
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: Chucky South gets blown out in my opinion because they

353
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: have the three hundred fifty second best offense, the three

354
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: hundred four best defense, gym, they play at the fifth

355
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: fastest tempo in the country. That all points to getting

356
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: blown up by anybody, especially winter team that is good.

357
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know this is I guess at

358
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: Chuck South, but I'm not giving them like any home No.

359
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be like a hype home

360
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: crowd or anything for Charleston Southern, one of the bottom

361
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: ten teams in the entire country, and Winthrop is rounding

362
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: into form. They just came off their paws and squeaked

363
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: out a win against a big contender in Campbell. I think, yeah,

364
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Winter's gonna smoke them here. Twelve points is entirely too low, Matt,

365
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: for a team that's in a massively different class.

366
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: Did I just check because I remember I've watched Chuck

367
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: South games before at home, and they have like I

368
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: think our high school gyms hold more on kem Pot

369
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: has it as a tiny eight hundred and eighty one

370
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: max capacity three hundred and fifty seventh artist in D one, So.

371
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: My house actually is bigger than that.

372
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: So we're talking about quite little of the smallest gym

373
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: in the country saved one. I don't know who's who

374
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: that is. So yeah, no, no, we no home hype

375
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: crowd here at all. Yeah, went Throp smokes. I watched

376
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: Winthrop Campbell. Those teams are awesome. They're going to put

377
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: the hurt on some bad Big South teams, thank him.

378
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and worth noting Chuck South is lost by twenty

379
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: five to Gardner Web and twenty three d U c Ashville,

380
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: so two Big South opponents already have blown them out.

381
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: I think at home, yeah, home the Gardener Web, so

382
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: it's a great spot.

383
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: Went by the way, one hundred and eighty five miles

384
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: between rock Hill, South Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina. The

385
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: more YOUTA next section, Power Games of the Week, were

386
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: going to talk about actual good teams versus actual good

387
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: teams here, and we got four on the docket here.

388
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: We're going to start with a Thursday matchup in the

389
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: Big Ten, Ohio State against Wisconsin at the Cole Center.

390
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: Jimmy minus two per Kimpom, Wisconsin is the new flavor

391
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: of the week. They were three and h last week.

392
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: Johnny Davis is in the player of the Year talks,

393
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: but let's not forget about EJ.

394
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Ladell Man.

395
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: He's pretty good too. Who do you like in this matchup?

396
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: I think neither team really has a great matchup for

397
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: the other team. Star. We saw Ohio State role Wisconsin

398
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. That's what happens when Johnny Davis isn't nuclear.

399
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: But I do like Wisconsin back home revenge spot. I

400
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: bet this line's above two. I think they're going to

401
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: give kond some home court, some respect Matthew as they should.

402
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, I just I think it's gonna

403
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: be a great one to watch because I think you

404
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: can get like twenty five plus from both Davis and

405
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: Waddell here.

406
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually who's garden Ladell?

407
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Man?

408
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: I was just in awe that gaming head against Yeah,

409
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: Well is a good defender. You're right, I just think

410
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: Ladell's matchup proof man. The shots team makes are just

411
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: insane at this point. He's like mastering these like step

412
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: back turned rounds. Adding that on top of his like

413
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: pick and pop three game is kind of crafty, old

414
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: man drive vintage post. He really has the whole package.

415
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: But I think he's pissed that Tyler Davis is also

416
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: swagger jacked his year Johnny Davis Johnny Cool as I

417
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: call him when I get his name right. So I

418
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: think Ladell comes out with a mask gaining her high.

419
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 3: I like the buck eys.

420
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: Ladell twenty eight and nine. The first matchup, he was

421
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: ten for thirteen from two. It's pretty good Johnny Davis

422
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: at twenty four and seven. So I agree we're gonna

423
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: see a great game here. Ohio State won by eighteen

424
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: the first game. I think Wisconsin probably punches back. It's

425
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: a typical split series in my opinion. Next game, not

426
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: technically powered teams but come on, they basically are EYU

427
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: heading the Big twelve pretty soon in the next couple

428
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: of years at Gonzaga, a team that's basically better than

429
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: every power team Kim Pum. Of course, Matthew has this

430
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: Gonzaga minus eleven, which is probably warranted, but also sticker

431
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: shock a little bit. This is by US super Bowl?

432
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Or are they too vulnerable inside without their big guys

433
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: Harward and Baxter.

434
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: Now when Mark Pope's on the sidelines, they're always They're

435
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: never vulnerable. I kind of thought this team was not

436
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: going to go in a tailspin, but sort of find

437
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: their level and struggle to get through, like the San

438
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: Francisco's and Saint Mary's of the WCC. And then they

439
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: put Saint Mary's in the choke hold fifty two to

440
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: forty three, they get a win at home. They're already

441
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: two to zero in the conference. But Jim, I think

442
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: we've seen Gonzaga dominate teams that can't quite punch their

443
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 3: weight class by You've not been as prone to that.

444
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: But I think Nzaga takes car of business here.

445
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. The interior strength for Gonzaga is

446
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: just too much to overcome BYU is not going to

447
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: get easy buckets at all. Chet Holmgrens added such a

448
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: unique element to their rim protection, and I think I

449
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: saw players with like over thirty attempts at the room

450
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: this year. Homewrens the only one shooting over ninety percent.

451
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: He's just a perfect finisher inside with his length, and

452
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: Timmy again is I don't know how you stop him

453
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: when there's two bigs you have to worry about on

454
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: that roster. I think the Gonzaga younger guards, You're Sallas,

455
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: your Nolan Hickman. They're starting to come into their own

456
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: and their roles. Buyu is just yeah, they're too limited

457
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: without the size to combat inside, They're gonna have to

458
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: help and double and scramble and Kenzaga is passing in

459
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: ball movement. It's too much to overcome there.

460
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: Kazakabuye seventeen, eleven and ten last year against BYU, the

461
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: oh you gave it, They're all but came up.

462
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Sure.

463
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: I think these teams are relatively same discs part this year.

464
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: I'd like to cite that one of those games was

465
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: a stupid backdoor by BYU where they were like playing

466
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: hard in the final ten seconds down fifteen.

467
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 2: That's Mark Pope, Baby. Mark Pope always goes to that

468
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the games. SEC Country Tennessee at Kentucky, Jim.

469
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee's one and two in the SEC. That's bad news,

470
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: is that with them overtime against Ole Miss barely. Yeah, yeah,

471
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: that's that's not great. They're going They're going to Kentucky

472
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: on on Saturday. It's hard to see Tennessee's scoring very

473
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: easily against Kentucky because they have been struggling to score

474
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: against most teams this season.

475
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Who do you like? I think I kind of like

476
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: Tennessee here. I don't know if that's good. Matt can

477
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: jump in with his valls, but I like them as

478
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: an underdog. I don't think that Kentucky's as crazy defensively

479
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: as LSU, and that that really gave Tennessee problems. Kentucky's

480
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: not really gonna zwe much. That they're not that great

481
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: on the wing in terms of defensive prowess unless you're

482
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: talking Jacob Toppin. So I think Tennessee can find their

483
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: way to points here. They just got to keep mister

484
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: Shei way off the flass. Matthew, and you got to

485
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: get a hand in Kellen Grady's face.

486
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope they're catching five. I mean, I think

487
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: Kentucky's better than LSU and Tennessee was only catching what

488
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: three and a half, So just look at that from

489
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: pure handicapping, that's off to me. Yea hoping it's five.

490
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: I think they probably goes closer four. I went Jim though.

491
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: I like the balls.

492
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: I know they've had some ups and downs, but I

493
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: still think that team's good. Uh yeah, I'm unpositive with Tennessee.

494
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: I can't get him right fading betting on them. They

495
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: keep flip flopping me. I'm staying away. Next game though, guys,

496
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: Matt last one here in the power Game of the

497
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: Week section Texas traveling to Hilton Magic at Iowa State

498
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: on Saturday, Texas minus one for Kim Pum. Does Hilton

499
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: Magic do it again? We saw them beat Texas Tech.

500
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: They covered against Baylor Texas. Maybe not the team we

501
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: thought they'd be in the preseason defensive Slog for sure.

502
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: Two teams that really de up.

503
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: What do you think that I want to bet Iowa

504
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 3: States so badly here? I really do like everything about Nope,

505
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: can't do it because Iowa State. Here's what people won't

506
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: tell you. They're not even a top fifty teen in

507
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 3: my opinion. I'm sorry, guys, they're not. They're being priced

508
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: like one, so that you're betting. I don't think they're

509
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: top fifty the.

510
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Difference, but definitely top fifteen.

511
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: Good.

512
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the offense is really herky jerky. I mean,

513
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 3: you're just relying a lot on Tyre's Hunter to make

514
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 3: stuff happen, and we've seen him be erratic. I fresh

515
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: from Point Guard and the Galtland of the Big Twelve,

516
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 3: I think they're in for a pretty sharp progression here eventually,

517
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: especially on offenseive defense. Little jit, I buy it. I

518
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: get all that. I just think I was probably gonna

519
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 3: only be catching one a couple of points if that

520
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: in this game. I'd like to be catching probably three

521
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: to four. So it's just a pricing courage. And that's

522
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: why I'm not going to back Iway State in this game.

523
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Wrong, Iowa State wins are going to be Texas is

524
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: just underwhelming them. Going against a competent defense is like,

525
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: oh God, we can't rely on our defense to win

526
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: because we can't score. That's going to be the issue

527
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: that Texas runs into. Yes, I know Iowa State had

528
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: like a fourteen minute stretch against Texas Tech where they

529
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: scored two points. It was embarrassing, and Texas is clearly

530
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: a great defensive team. But I think that the boost

531
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: from Hilton Magic students will be back for this one.

532
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: I think is a big home spot win for the Clones.

533
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, I think you're high if you think they're

534
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: not top fifty Bar Tour of twenty first, kem Pump

535
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: thirty is better.

536
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: A TCU or Iowa State?

537
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You?

538
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: It's in crowdly close, it's a very close.

539
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: I was sad Memphis what Iowa State's done.

540
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: Memphis by nineteen twenty Taylor cover Texas Tech.

541
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: Know what they've done. It's all very impressive going forward.

542
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: We talking about four every predicts the top fifty. Everyone.

543
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm better at my prectives than they are. So sorry, Ken, sorry,

544
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: but there are top you may top fifty team in

545
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: Kay's book, Wowser's Wow fifty with you tell me? Okay,

546
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: now I got them like sixtieth fifty sixtieth.

547
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, Hey, fade away, baby, I would not fade at

548
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: Hilton Magic.

549
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: Here at Hilton Coliseum, I.

550
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: Like I'll take ahead to head here. Definitely not going

551
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: to fame. No, I'm trusted. I want to, but I

552
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: always stay here. I'm just not. I think they're overpriced.

553
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 3: Over valued, they're expensive.

554
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: A good weave argument is always nice for the show.

555
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: Mid major Game of the week. We got three games here.

556
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 2: We already talked about one a little bit, Jim, with

557
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: your live Dog section call out. VCU is traveling to

558
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: Saint Bonaventure. The bond is going to tune up here

559
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: coming off a long pause. They were off for nearly

560
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: a month. They get Lasal on the day recording this

561
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: too late for you guys at home. VCU, though, as

562
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: you said, Jim, they're playing like the best team of

563
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: the A ten. They have lost in November, they've covered

564
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: five straight. They have George Washington on Tuesday as well.

565
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: I kind of think you're right here.

566
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: VC's a live dog. Yeah, Bonaventure has just been nowhere

567
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: near the team we saw last season. I don't know

568
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: if it's complacency. I don't know if it's like the

569
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: disease of more where everybody wants more shots because they

570
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: were so good last year and brought everybody back. But

571
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: the steadfast refusal Matt a Mark Schmid to develop even

572
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: a semblance of a bench is an issue. VCU can

573
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: pressure them. They're gonna be ten deep, should be fully

574
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: healthy by this time with jaydon Nunn and leave by

575
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: socerd back in there. I just am head over heels

576
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: all in on this VCU team and Bonnie's have left

577
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: me feeling very very cold this year.

578
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, saling on the Bonnies, who was our flagship program

579
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 3: last year. Here's my concern though, from a VCU perspective

580
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: is like, I think the Bonnie's can handle the ball

581
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: like they got big, strong, smart cerebral guards. I don't

582
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: think they're going to be overwhelmed or shocked by the pressure. Now,

583
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: I think your point about do they fatigue around of gas,

584
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: But such a short bench coming off the COVID pause,

585
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 3: that's a concern. Maybe late second half, maybe you look

586
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: to come in on VCU second half. If Bonnie's come

587
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: up strong. BIS terrible first half exactly, so it's probably

588
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: having gonna come tot ficition because they've been down ten

589
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: points and then they roar back second half, which doesn't

590
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: really end up with their lack of depth thing. All

591
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: that is to say to stay away from me. I

592
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: think the Bonnie are gonna be better coming out of

593
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: this COVID pause and people think, but they're not a

594
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: top twenty five, top thirty team that most people thought preseason.

595
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: I think we have to that out now.

596
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: They probably have some value. This game is not want

597
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: to miss betting on them.

598
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: You think Bonnie is still better than Iowa State? Ooh,

599
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: I like this question.

600
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: It's close to toss up.

601
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Okay, you can't even answer convincingly.

602
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: Oh, we're going to earmark January eleventh right now. We

603
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: played better from Jane eleventh through March eleventh. Bonnie's are.

604
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: Black. Iowa State is a top fifty team. From January eleventh.

605
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: They have played like one. They will not going for it.

606
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: That's let me reframe my.

607
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: Well filter bart Torbick for those dates. Can't wait.

608
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: Next game, guys. We talked about Murray State, We talked

609
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: about Beaumont. When they play each other, matt on Saturday

610
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: and throw the record books out.

611
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: When these two teams get together.

612
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: It is a power powerhouse matchup in the OBC future

613
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Missouri Valley. Both the teams out in the valley be

614
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: minus seven for Kim Palm too much too many points,

615
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: says me, Matt kJ Williams or Nick Muzinski is the

616
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: matchup here inside Matt Murray state it's going.

617
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: To be closer to five. I bet the odds maker's

618
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: hand it clear it will be close survived, right, which

619
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: is unfortunate for us because I want to hit Murray

620
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: stay with a hammer if it's a touchdown. Yeah, inside

621
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: matchups key, I mean, what can the Moves do against Williams.

622
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: I mean they've gone to get you out of what

623
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: three years now, Like they both know each other's play

624
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: look like the back of their own hands. So Murray's

625
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: just a different beast this year. I think people slept

626
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: on in preseason. Cats out of the bag. Now you

627
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: beat Memphis, you get every one's radar. But I still

628
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: think Murray's awesome. Like right up there, one A one

629
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 3: B with Belmont as conference, I'm.

630
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: Not quite one A one B, but they're clearly one

631
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: two in this league. So yeah, I would not be

632
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: looking to lay a bunch of points lay over a

633
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: touchdown with Belmont. I think that's crazy. Most of these

634
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: games are ligned like two three one. There was one

635
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: six point spread back in February and Belmont covered by

636
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: one point at one by seven, So I think these

637
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: tend to be close over and over. It's going to

638
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: be a coin flip game late probably, and I hope

639
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: my Bruins get it done. Tie for my OVC future.

640
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can win, Jim, but I'll probably be on Murray,

641
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: so let's let's call it non cover. I also have

642
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: them in the OVC future. All right, last game of

643
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: this section. I'm cheating because now I'm calling BYU have

644
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: been major and they're San Francisco on Saturday minus two.

645
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: San Francisco per Kim Pum. Huge game for both teams

646
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: for at large resume purposes. But Jim BIU is coming

647
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: off Gonzaga. Perhaps they lack some prep here, and you know,

648
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: Todd Golden for San Francisco is going to have a

649
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: game plan for BUYU. They want this game like blood,

650
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 2: who do you lean?

651
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: Sort of lean towards the home team here. I just

652
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: I think BYU may still be a little bit overvalued

653
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: in the market without their interior big Men still trying

654
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: to figure out lineups with Triore and loaner as the

655
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Five Men and the Dons have really started to figure

656
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: out who they are Matthew. They didn't get many stops

657
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: against Loyola in their little game in Salt Lake City

658
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: that they set up, but I think they show up

659
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: a little bit better here conference play. I think that's

660
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: a big one for them. They know they need to

661
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: get it done if they want that at large bid.

662
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: They did well win loss wise in the noncom but

663
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: they didn't have any like mega needle movers. So I

664
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: think this is kind of the first of many where

665
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: the Dons are going to be hype home at War

666
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: Memorial and get a victory as a their home favorite.

667
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: I lean that way. I've been on stubborn Dons back

668
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: for most of the year. I do worry about guys

669
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 3: like Loner and Trore, these tweeters swing bigs that we

670
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: saw them struggle to defend against Loyola. Ryan Schwiger comes

671
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: to mind, and like that kind of mid post action.

672
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: They didn't really have that type of piece or pieces

673
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: that I trust. That's like the only weak spot on

674
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: the roster of the Dons, but still spots to Jucy,

675
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: I think San Francisco just plays better guiding. It's this

676
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: their game too. I'm leaning towards Dunts all right. Trash

677
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: man pick of the week, got one game here. It

678
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: is the trash man pick of the week.

679
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm the trash man.

680
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it,

681
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 2: totally unreliable, undependable.

682
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: That's it. You've been told off.

683
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: How do you like that?

684
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead? This is my pick. Guys.

685
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: Admittedly, Ipui at Milwaukee Horizon's always good for a trash

686
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: man pick, so it was Iupui, just insert them Ipui

687
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: Milwaukee started by fourteen on Saturday. Both these offenses are

688
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: laughable and if you watch this game, which you shouldn't

689
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: because it's the trash Man pick of the week, the

690
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: decision making you're going to see on both ends would

691
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: be among the worst you see all season. Jen, did

692
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: I pick a good game here?

693
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? You picked a good bad game. This is going

694
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: to be terrible. I don't think either coach is very

695
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: good and maybe Ie Puise coach Crenshaw can get better

696
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: once he actually has talent on the roster, but he

697
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: has not elevated what he has this year, that's for sure.

698
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: And they are one of the worst offenses. As you mentioned,

699
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: this is ugly, Matt. I think it is deservedly the

700
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: trash Man pick of the week.

701
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: This was the best pick on the board. The only

702
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: other one I had picked out was Campbell hosting Radford,

703
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: which I think ends up being like one hundred and

704
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: ten point total. Yeah, Campbell is good. I just think

705
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: that the pace is so slow and it's going to

706
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: turn like a really rock five type game.

707
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: Won't be fun to watch either. Now we come to

708
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: our spotlight section and the spotlight we're gonna spotlight. Guys

709
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: are total trends.

710
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: Say spotlight again?

711
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: Spotlight starry? Is it Mark Ruffalo?

712
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo? Oh yes, little touch of the two in

713
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: that movie. Oh yeah, she said legend.

714
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: We're talking strong over teams and strong under teams. So yeah,

715
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: trends man, Matt. The number one over team in the

716
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: country is Louisiana and they are eleven and two to

717
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: the over and they have over a ten and a

718
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: half point cover margin to the over. Now this shocked

719
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: me at first when you look at them under Keith

720
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: Richard this year. Their coach are a longtime coach. It's

721
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: the third best offenses team's ever had under Richard. They

722
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: have a bottom four defense in Richard's tenure, and they're

723
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: running more than ever. This is the first year they

724
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: have been up tempo under him. All those things kind

725
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 2: of add up any any thoughts towards Ulm other than

726
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm tired of fading them and them beating me. When

727
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: I last time from a side perspective, Dart year, they

728
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: finally didn't cover. But yeah, when you have better talent,

729
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: better players, you should play faster. Let the edge and

730
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: talent play out over a large number possession. That's a

731
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: pretty obvious playbook Tennant Jim, so I like it.

732
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a lot better players. I

733
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: think they're still playing above their heads a little bit.

734
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: The best team he had was the one with Dyshaun Smith,

735
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: the witch Trust State transfer, just tearing things up. But yeah,

736
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: I think I've met a few unders here and been

737
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: absolutely destroyed, so I will stop doing that.

738
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Their offensive efficiencies nuts this year, but Jim Manhattan eight

739
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: and two to the over eleven and a half point

740
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: cover margin. It's the best offense since twenty fifteen, and

741
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: their worst defense is twenty seventeen. It's also the highest

742
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: temple under Steve Masilo in about three or four years

743
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: per rankings. Do you think it's sustainable in conference play

744
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: for Manhattan.

745
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: Probably for the last three years they would have been

746
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: a go to trash man pick of the week because

747
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: their offense was claw your eyes out bad. They had talent, though, Matt.

748
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: They always had some down transfers that were like, Okay,

749
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: this team should be pretty competent, and they weren't. But

750
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: I buy it just because I think the roster has

751
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: the makeup to do. They've got guys from Seaton Hall

752
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: from UMass, Like it makes sense here.

753
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jose Perez adition has been key, Like we

754
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: kind of thought he was a shithead, to put it

755
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: nicely when he left gardener Let a lot of the

756
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: fans were happy left, and now he kind of found

757
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: his way back down to mid major dumb and he's

758
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: really blossom. He's an absolute stud player. And it's unlike

759
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: Ann Nelson, the Seaton Hall transfer, who kind of flamed

760
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: out and I think has been up and down.

761
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Perez is legit. So this makes sense too. Yeah, Press

762
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: had a cup of coffee with Marquette the year prior, right,

763
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: which probably hate him too. Teams are eleven three and

764
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: one to the over. Iowa has an eight point six

765
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: cover margin. Now not super surprising here, Iowa's probably in

766
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: this section a lot. They always play at a high tempo,

767
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: number three offense in the country and one hundred and

768
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: fifty eighth defense, So classic Fran McCaffrey here, baby. But

769
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: U Mass is the other eleven and three and one

770
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: team a plus thirteen point one cover margin, pretty sure

771
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: the highest cover margin of the over in the country.

772
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: Jim thirty third in offense this year for Kim Palm

773
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: is U Mass, but three hundred and twenty first in defense.

774
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: I think that makes the most lopsided team in the

775
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: country in terms of offense versus defense, good versus bad

776
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: U Mass sustainable over teams. Do we just blindly put

777
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: our money on the over going forward?

778
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Man? It's pretty close. I don't like saying blind to

779
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: any sort of bet. That's dangerous. Territory should be bet numbers, folks.

780
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: But U Mass is as close as it gets, just

781
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: because they play a lot of guards. They run up

782
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: and down, and I don't think McCall has ever figured

783
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: out what he wants to do defensively. Matthew, now maybe

784
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: you're Michael Stedman, your boy giving them a paint presence.

785
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Can you harsh this mellow a little bit? But I

786
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: still think they're going to be an over team going.

787
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: Forward now until they like show one ounce of crap

788
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: to get back on defense. It doesn't matter if they

789
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: have good defenders. They like just teams waltz and transition

790
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: to get layups. It's been the same issue with McCall

791
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: the last three years. I didn't think this defense would

792
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: get much worse, but from one hundred and twenty eight

793
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: to three hundred and twenty first, yeah, I got real bad,

794
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: real quick. So UMass fans like touting the will be

795
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: just fine without Trey Mitchell. It's like, you probably won't.

796
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: You'll probably not hurt a little bit, and they are.

797
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: Very guard oriented. All right, let's finish the show with

798
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: under teams stronger.

799
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 3: Hey, real quick? Nope, I got to interject this, Kuy,

800
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: just any team is a good over team at this point.

801
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: You're now at data through January eighth, sixteen straight days,

802
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: the overs cash more than the unders, hitting it a

803
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: fifty eight percent clip over that span.

804
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: Over that sixteen day span, fifty eight percent.

805
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: Yes, efficiency's gone through the roof, especially the last week

806
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: or so. So I mean a lot of those like

807
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: early the Christmas break leading into there weren't many games

808
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: like those early eight days. But the last week's just

809
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: been an overfest, so went in doubt, lack and over.

810
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: It's probably gonna hit.

811
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: I think it comes back down sod.

812
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: I think we see his sharp real yeahs so too

813
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: under teams, guys, Matt, this one isn't surprise. Eastern Illinois

814
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: has not hidden over all year. They're oh to twelve

815
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: to the under. So their games are going under by

816
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: an average of ten points six points per game, second

817
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: worst offense in the country for kimpom and Marty Simmons

818
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: is the head coach, Matt, and he plays crawlball.

819
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 3: He does. I can't believe the market doesn't cut up

820
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 3: in this, Like you don't see twelve and oero or

821
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: zero to twelve against the spread, fade or bet ondens.

822
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 3: He only in totals do you see these streaks going

823
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 3: detected like this pretty insane cover margin there. I mean,

824
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: the offense is terrible. They have to play slow to

825
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: mitigate the lack of talent. It's a pretty obvious hundred team.

826
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: Their best players in Illinois transfer and his O rating

827
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: is under eighty. That's heinously inefficient for a team that

828
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: like typically devalues the three ball under Marty Simmons. That's

829
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: what he did at Evansville. Is a lot of the

830
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: continuous motion, mid range pull up type stuff off of curls,

831
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's just not where basketball is right now. It's

832
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: unsurprising that their offense has been mega inefficient.

833
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: Jim also maybe not a surprise. You see, Irvine is

834
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: one seven and one to the under going under by

835
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: an average of eight points per game. Bad offense, good

836
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: defense is their standard. But what I didn't know when

837
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: looking into this is their slowest offensive tempo under Russell

838
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: Turner during his tenure by a fair margin. Interesting trend.

839
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: I wonder if it starts to go a little bit

840
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: quicker in Big West play.

841
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe ticks up a tad. They did play a

842
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: sixty seven possession game against Riverside to start, and Riverside's

843
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: not a speed demon either, so that's a little faster

844
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: than you'd expect. Maybe they tick up a little bit

845
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: too when they get Dawson Baker back, Yep, the guard

846
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: that is one of their better creators. He's been out

847
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: with a broken hand. Once he's back in there, I

848
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: could see them being a little bit better as an overteam.

849
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Turner trust is guards. That's why

850
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: he's playing really slow. It's sort of like a keep

851
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: the harness on a younger backcourt.

852
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of heard.

853
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: As you mentioned in the bad offense category, Ipui, we're

854
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: gonna pick on them again worst offense to and tend

855
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: to the under almost eleven points per game. Their games

856
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: are going under and they play at one of the

857
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: slowest tempos in the country. Matt, they're scoring eighty five

858
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: point eight points per one hundred percent. Since that's really, really,

859
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: really bad, I think you I t u as going

860
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 2: to get on their team for the foreseeable future.

861
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: Hey, congrats, they just scored sixty points for the first

862
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 3: time all season against all one who Chicago had not eclipped.

863
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, they did score sixty to one. As

864
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: Spaulding as a basketball they also make basket they make basketballs,

865
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: but I believe they feel the college team. Yeah, Jim,

866
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't know why Matt Crenshaw told us they were

867
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: going to try and run this year, like it was

868
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 3: never a good idea, So I'm glad he's smartly decided

869
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 3: to not run. With the lack of talent he has,

870
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: but I guess that just makes four more excruciating games

871
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: on the television.

872
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: Spaulding also a character in Caddy checks.

873
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: Wow yeah, greatul and the Amanda Show kind of weird

874
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: pull on it a.

875
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: Little dag Amanda vines. I'm just I had to process.

876
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the quotes Crenshaw early season or preseason

877
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: about we're going to run, they're just lunacy, Like I

878
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: can't believe he even like bluffed that they might do that.

879
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: This team is completely devoid of talent offensive threats, so

880
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: they just try to drag it down into the muck.

881
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: One of their games that went over I think was

882
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: like a foul faest late. It wasn't even because of tempo,

883
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: were efficiency. So they're definitely going to be under or

884
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: nothing for me for quite a while. Yeah.

885
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we close our show, guys with LSU three

886
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: and twelve to the under, almost eleven points per game

887
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: to the under per game a total one to eighty.

888
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: Jim on their strengths this season, the number one d

889
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 2: in the country, number seventy seven offense and usually that's

890
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: quite reverse. And there Will Raid Will Wade. Both of

891
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: these are extreme, extreme ranks for him going forward sustainable man.

892
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been in on the defense since I watched

893
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: it early on. They're just so swarming. They're so long

894
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: that there's like nine guys that can get a steal

895
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: on the floor. Like it's not like they're reliant on

896
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: one or two pressure valves. So I'm pretty in in

897
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: the defense. Coming up. As you're listening to this Wednesday night,

898
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: they're playing Florida and Xavier Pinson, They're starting point guard,

899
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: is probably out. That certainly helps the under a little bit.

900
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a team that I'm going

901
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: to be looking to back overs because they're tempo and

902
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: the way they run offensively. But I need to adjust

903
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: the defense all the way down, kay, because it's the

904
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: best in the country by like a why basis.

905
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: It's weird that this is the first year they're also

906
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: playing transition defense, Like that was always the issue with

907
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: Lshe in the past, Like they don't play any defense

908
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: in the half court, but then like they also just

909
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: give up like layup lines out on the break, and

910
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: this year they've eliminated that and their half court defense.

911
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 3: Their pressure is just suffocating. So there's so many forces

912
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 3: playing behind this under Serge I don't know if it's

913
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: going to sustain, though, it feels like at this point

914
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: there's going to be correction. I think I should have

915
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: mentioned the offense probably has some upside for improvement. And

916
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: do we think they're going to finish the year? Is

917
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: the number one overall defense, I'm not entirely convinced.

918
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: Got to drive a long way to get to number two.

919
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's they kind of have a huge edge

920
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: there on the number. The second team three whole defensive

921
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: adjusted points, the areing ten pounds of Jesus my goodness.

922
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: That is a lot. And you guys, you're never a lot,

923
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: You're just right.
