Speaker 1: app as well. So let's kick things off here we go.

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: My favorite top ten bets for March Madness twenty twenty three.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Number ten Texas A and M minus one fifty four

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: on the money line versus Penn State. Now, this is

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: the only minus you're gonna see on this list of

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: best bets, and that's because the number seven Texas A

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: and m Aggies have a legitimate claim to being the

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: most underseated team in the field.

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: Texas A and M went fifteen.

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: To three in a conference set sent eight teams to

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament, and the Aggies held opponents to lower

36
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: than thirty percent from three point range in SEC play,

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: which will come in handy against the perimeter happy Nitney Lions.

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: Number nine, number eleven pitt plus one zh six on

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the money line versus Mississippi State. Now, some of these

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: teams that come out in the first four have a

41
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: tendency to get hot, and Pitt.

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: Could be the next one in that long line.

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Pitt is going to be facing a Mississippi State team

44
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: that has the worst three point field goal percentage among

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Division one teams at twenty six point six percent, and

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: the Panthers could easily get by an Iowa State team

47
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: next that allows nineteen point nine points per game in

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: the paint. The pit Panthers were the ACC's third best

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: three point shooting team and the second best in terms

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: of adjusted offensive efficiency Number eight. Duke to make the

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen at plus one fifty four. The Blue Devils,

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: fresh off winning the ACC Tournament and riding a nine

53
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: game winning streak, will open their twenty twenty three NCAA

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: tournament facing the region's twelfth seed, Oral Roberts.

55
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: That should be a cake walk for them.

56
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: The two time Honorable Mention All American Max Abrams led

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: the team in scoring with twenty two point two points

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: per game, while also grabbing four point four rebounds and

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: for assists per game as well. Duke is largely known

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: for its defense, and that should serve them well in

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: the first few rounds of this twenty, getting them to

62
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. Number seven Creighton to make the Sweet sixteen.

63
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: At plus one sixty eight, Creighton out scored their opponents

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: by eight point one one points per game, scoring seventy

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: six points six points per game, drank.

66
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Fifty ninth best in college basketball.

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: They also had a plus two to sixty nine scoring

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: differential as well, and this team rebounds thirty four point

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: eight rebounds per game, that's thirty fifth best in all

70
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: of nc DOUBLEA.

71
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays are also.

72
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Making two and a half more threes per contest than

73
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: their opponents, and they average ninety nine points seven points

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: per one hundred persessions on offense, thirty eighth best in

75
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: college basketball, and allow just eighty nine point one points

76
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: per one hundred posessions. That's one hundred and twelfth best

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: in college basketball. So Creaton is for real and a

78
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: good bet at plus one sixty eight to make the

79
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen.

80
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Number six TCU to.

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Make the Sweet sixteen plus one seventy two. This season,

82
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: TCU nearly matched last year's record twenty one to thirteen,

83
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: which also took them to the NCAA Tournament. This is

84
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: the first time in seventy years This team has made

85
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament and back to back seasons, and now

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: they've made the Big Tournament three times in the last

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: six years under head coach Jamie Dixon. TCU recently fell

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: to the Longhorns sixty six to sixty in the semi

89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: final round of the Big Twelve Tournament last Friday, but

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: that means TCU knows that they can hang with the

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: best team in the nation arguably, so TCU should build

92
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: on that confidence and build that all the way to

93
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: a Sweet sixteen appearance at plus one seventy two number five.

94
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: Kent State to make the Sweet sixteen at plus seven ten.

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Now Kent State might be the thirteen seed, but the

96
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: Golden Flashes ripped through the MAC Tournament, winning the three

97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: games by an average of thirteen point three points.

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: They join Indiana team in.

99
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: The first round that struggles to force turnovers and allow

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the twelfth highest offensive rebounding percentage in league play.

101
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: Not to mention they.

102
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Rank dead last in the league's in free throw attempts

103
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: per field go attempt. Kent State is only three in

104
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournaments in two thousand and two, making the

105
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Elite eight, but this team is good enough to reach

106
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the second weekend, and all bets are off from there literally,

107
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: so plus seven ten to make the Sweet sixteen might

108
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: be a better wager than you think. Number four the

109
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: Yukon Huskies to win the West Region at plus five hundred.

110
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: The Huskies enter the tournament on a ten to three run,

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: with the three losses coming by a combined eight points

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: to NCAA tournament team Xavier, Creighton, who we already talked about,

113
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: and Marquette. No team has rebounded its own misshots better

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: than Connecticut and has a national best thirty nine point

115
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: two offensive rebounding percentage. On defense, the Huskies have held

116
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: opposing teams to forty five point five effective field goal

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: percentage and that ranks eleventh in the nation. Opponents are

118
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: shooting just thirty percent on three pointers against Connecticut and

119
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: coach Dan Hurley's past two Huskies teams came up short

120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: as they lost to lower seeded teams in the first

121
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: round of the NCAA Tournament. But this year, with the pieces

122
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: they have, they're in a position to write their own

123
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: revenge narrative. So look for Yukon at plus five hundred

124
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: to win the West. Number three Houston to win the

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: National Championship at plus five hundred. After trips to the

126
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Elite eight and the Final four the past two NCAA tournaments,

127
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the Cougars reached the number one seed in the Associated

128
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Press poll for the first time in forty years. Now

129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: they have a chance at the ultimate home court advantage

130
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: with this year's Final Four being played guess where in Houston.

131
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: The Cougar's rebound and don't turn the ball over much,

132
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: which is why they're the prohibitive favorite to win it

133
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: all this year, but one huge caveat the health of

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: National Player of the Year candidate Marcus Sasser is in doubt.

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: He suffered an apparent groin injury Saturday in the AAC

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: Conference Tournament semi finals. If Sassar isn't healthy, the whole

137
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: tournament picture could get real murky, real fast. So keep

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: a close eye on the health of Marcus Sasser and

139
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a close eye on how that health might impact this

140
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: number at plus five hundred. Number two Alabama to win

141
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: the National Championship at plus seven hundred. The Crimson Tide

142
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: inched into the best Bets category Sunday after pounding Texas

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: A and M to win the SEC tournament. Alabama operates

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: at the fastest pace of any team in the tournament

145
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: seventy two point seven possessions for forty minutes. That's ridiculous,

146
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: while also leading the nation in opponent's effective field goal

147
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: percentage forty one point five percent. The downside of the

148
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Crimson tide is they commit their fair share of turnovers

149
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: and don't create a whole lot in terms of turnovers themselves.

150
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: They rely too heavily on the three point shot, which

151
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: ironically is not exactly their strong suit. So Alabama's in

152
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: a good position to win it all at a great number,

153
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: and if that Sasser health in Houston isn't right, Alabama's

154
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: number could drop from seven to lower. So lock it

155
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: in early and watch the money roll in, which brings

156
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: us to number one Texas to win the national championship

157
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: at plus nineteen hundred. So this is the alternate storytelling, right.

158
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: If Houston isn't quite one hundred percent, Texas is in

159
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: that same region and they could be the team to

160
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: win it all, and what fun that would be at

161
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: plus nineteen hundred.

162
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Talk about getting hot at the right time.

163
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Interim coach Rodney Terry's team is peaking right now and

164
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Texas storm through the Big Twelve tournament, winning its three

165
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: games by an average of thirteen point three points and

166
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: clinching that tie after running away from defending national champion

167
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Kansas on Saturday night in its second double digit victory

168
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: over the Jayhawks in just eight days. The Long Worns

169
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: have a lot going for them. They're battle tested, their experience,

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: and they feature nine players who average at least twelve

171
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: minutes per game. If Houston Sasser isn't right, Texas could

172
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: win their bracket, launch themselves into the Final four, and

173
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: could bring home that title of national champion. And at

174
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: plus nineteen hundred, what an investment that could be.

175
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, there you have it, everybody.

176
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Those are my favorite March Madness bets for twenty twenty three.
