Speaker 1: here we go, spread in the corn ten seconds or

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: maining the just go throw up to the basket, under

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: the basket, it's the truth for the wind God, a miracle.

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Up the water. Hit that one from the parking lot.

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast presented by

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 3: bet MGM. I am your host, Kai McEwan, joined by

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: the rest of the three men, we crew, Matt Cox

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 3: and Jim Root. We are getting into our college basketball

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: weekly slate once again on the podcast, and fellas, we're

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: gonna jump right back into the live Dog of the

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: Week section. This is, of course, where we endorse an

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: underdog that we think might just have what it takes

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 3: to win out right, mind and I got a couple

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: candidates for you guys. But first I want to go

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: back and take a look at last week. Last week, Jim,

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: we're looking at you first, man.

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: Oh talk to that, look at me back.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: Bama State they played Northern or excuse me, they played

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: who do they play at? Northound?

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Alabama?

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: Push plus eight? All right, no harm, no foul there.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: Colorado State though, got annihilated by Colorado. I can't really.

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: What was that about can I defend this? Yes, I

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: didn't realize that this would be the first game that

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Coach Prime was in the building, and he showed up

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: fair and Colorado went absolutely Banana Land. Everybody's there trying

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 2: to impress Coach Prime. The crowd was absolutely electric. Yeah,

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: that was I missed that part of the handicap. I

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: sure did.

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: All three of us were on the Colorado State Dogs

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: that time. They lost by thirty, so hey, it happens

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: in sports betting. It's double blocked. Kai. I took Sienna

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: against Georgetown Boyd. They were winning for a lot of

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: that game, then they ended up not covering plus six.

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: They lost by seven. But Utah Valley was an outright

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: winner against BYU, so I shall pat myself on the back.

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: And then Matt Cox also got an outright winner. He

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: found Jacksonville playing BCU playing a full strength VCU team

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: as well, and a shorthanded Jacksonville team still beat him.

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: Impressive outright winner for Matt clap Clapp.

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Thank you.

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: We won't even mention that SMU lost by eighteen the

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 3: Arizona State in that but I'll tell you what, guys,

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: we found you two winners outright that'll pay for your dinner,

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: your beer, what have you. Let's try to find some

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: more this week. I'm looking at Wednesday, guys. I see

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: four candidates. There aren't a lot of good ones on

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: Thursday or Friday in my opinion, but as I always

50
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: feel free to jump in at the end. Here, I'm

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: looking at UCF. They are plus five per Kin pomp

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: at ol Miss. I think this team is very good.

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: It is their first road game, though. I'm looking at

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: Wright State plus eight at Akron. I think Akron's very

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: vulnerable right now. I blew a huge lead recently. Right

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: State's offense keeps them in every single game. Their coaching

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: is very good with Scott Naggy. I'm also looking at

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Radford plus ten at BCU. We just saw VCU lose

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: outright to Jacksonville. They've been struggling Ace Baldwin. Their point

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: guard is still day to day, and Radford hung with

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: Marquette Notre Dame. I've been impressed by them. And then

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: finally Tennessee Tech plus twelve at Lipscomb. Tennessee Tech has

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: kept a lot of games close and they can shoot.

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: Very important for an underdog, a live dog. What we

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: look for high variance teams that can make threes. Lipscom's

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: lost two straight Alabama and m and Tennessee State out

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: right thiks, I'm going with Jim first. Do you like

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: any of those? Do you like some other ones? What

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: do you think?

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I think Tennessee Tech is worth a stab. I watched

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: the Lipscomb Tennessee State game, and Lipscomb is capital T

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: E R R I B L E that I spelled

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: that right. Hopeful, Yeah, terrible. Defensively they are complete sieve

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: like they cannot keep anybody in front. Their big men

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: are not very mobile. Ignasovich and Asadula are both relatively

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: statue esque, so they can't guard people and they turn

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: the ball over like crazy in that game. Tennessee State's

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: got some more athletes than Tennessee Tech does. The pressure

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: will be less intense here. But at twelve Kaile, like

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: you said, they can shoot, lipscumb is a they will

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: shoot a lot too and are prone to some cold spats.

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: I think that's at least worth looking at back in

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: the twelve and even a little bit of sprinkle on

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: the money line.

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: Matthew, I like Radford, Kyle Good good pick out here.

86
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: You hate I do, and I love these few preseason

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: but I don't like what I'm saying right now offensively,

88
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: really really really in chambles. I just think it just

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: puts so much pressure on their defense, Like it's there's

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: a point where you're so lopsided that your defense is

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: actually bound to crack as well if you can't actually

92
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: get points to supplement. Inter effort is a feisty, feisty dog.

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: Darius Nichols ban, it's got that thing rolling. I would

94
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: like this to be priced plus ten. I fel like

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: it's going to be a little bit lower, and so

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: you're probably not going to get the juicy money line

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: price you're looking for, but you know, three to one,

98
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: maybe you know plus three hundred, maybe hanging somewhere. I

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: would be inclined to dabble that for the.

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Hotisters, just to kind of underscore your point in that

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: this offseason, when we were working for the Almanac and

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: writing that preview, I talked to South Florida coach Brian Gregory,

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: and they had a horrendous offense last year in a

104
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: really good defense, and he talked about how hard that

105
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: was for the players mentally to be like every time

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: we knew we weren't like, we weren't going to score,

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: and it's like hard to play defense knowing that, and

108
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: I think VCU was dealing with that a little bit.

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: Radford also, if you use the old bart Torwick no

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 2: prior's kuy, they are number two in the Big South.

111
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: They have been really rock solid and the talent that

112
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: they brought in via the portal our boy Brian Antoine

113
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: is like a role player on that team. They have

114
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: I think every right to be pretty legit.

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, and I'm going to take Tennessee Tech

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: and Radford as well. I'm hopping on the Highlanders. I'm

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: hopping on the Eagles for Tennessee Tech and let's go

118
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: double digit money line dogs. Wow and you shell soar

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: yummy yummy shall So did you mention your last one

120
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: here the last couple?

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: No, No, we were going to get to that at

122
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: the end there. I thought we were hitting your four.

123
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: Just to yeah, yeah, sorry, I'm not taking the first

124
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: time mentioned when I give those options, guys, I'm going

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: to ten Tech and Radford.

126
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: We do love options, kayle, I'm joining on Tennessee Tech.

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Beach Boys. On Wednesday, night.

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: I think it's worth a stab at USC. I don't

129
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: love the Trojans as a big favorite. There's no travel

130
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: or not not much other than LA traffic. And I

131
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: just kind of like these Beach Boys, man. I think

132
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: they've got pretty solid defensive weapons. I think they can

133
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: compete in the paint at least enough. So I'll go

134
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: with the Beach Boys. And then on Thursday, we're rolling

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: with the Chattachoo Choo train the Chattanooga Monx on the

136
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: road at Middle Tennessee. It's not much travel there either,

137
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: just a little bit south of Nashville down to Murfreesborough.

138
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: And I don't know exactly if Dalvin White's gonna play

139
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: Chattanooga's point guard. I listened to a radio show and

140
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: they sound unsure he could play. But they're freshman. Brody

141
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: Robinson's been pretty solid. He started the last two games

142
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: and has at least given them a sparkt point. I

143
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: think are worth a shot because they're another team that

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 2: takes a ton of threes.

145
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: KAI sounds good to Matt just Radford for you.

146
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the Mocks obviously. I loved him actually

147
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: a couple of times this year. They even not quite

148
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: all the way in sync. I know Daniel's still trying

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: to do some tinkering on both sides of the ball.

150
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: So I did stay away and Middle Tennessee has been awesome.

151
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: Just cut off that overtime winn against Belmont, but yeah,

152
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: just raft for him.

153
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: Later we'll talk about k K Kid. Blowout City is

154
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: our next section. The quick recap of last week. San

155
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: Francisco could not quite blow out Merrimack, which is incredibly concerning.

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't really understand that one still.

157
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: Merrimack flying across the country. How do you not beat

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: that team by forty?

159
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: Come on, I don't know. And really they only had

160
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: to cover twenty. They won by nineteen. I think it

161
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: was a pretty close cover Tennessee, though Bulldoze Eastern Kentucky

162
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: wasn't competitive close to forty this week. Few and far

163
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: between on the options here, guys, but I did take

164
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: two SEC squads that are worth the look. Mat First

165
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: one's Home Auburn Auburn minus twenty two per Kin Pom

166
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: against Georgia State. Georgia State just lost by twenty to

167
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: Northeastern of all teams, I mean, my goodness. And the

168
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: other one is Mississippi State minus twenty against Jackson State.

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: It's a semi away game in Jackson, but it's not

170
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: at Jackson State's actual arena. Mississippi State versus sub two

171
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: hundred opponents so far sub two hundred meaning they rank

172
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: lower than top two hundred and Kim Pump, they've won

173
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: by thirty three, thirty seven, twenty and thirty. I think

174
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: they could blow out Jackson State. Here, Matt, your thoughts.

175
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: I just looked at the Auburn Georgia State game and laughed, like,

176
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: Georgia State shooting is so anemic. It's it's like really

177
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: inexcusable how you can act.

178
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty percent from three.

179
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: One of twenty against Northeastern. Jim and I've listened to

180
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 4: like all of Jonah Hayes's press conferences. If he says

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 4: put one foot in front of the other one more

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: time without acknowledging the complete atrocity that as they're shooting,

183
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw something at my computer screen.

184
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: I think this under is actually better than like.

185
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: A true blowout, because we're just actually does have some

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: athletes and maybe they can somewhat compete with alburn on

187
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: the glass, but they're out scored more than fifty points here,

188
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: there's no way. So I guess I like under more

189
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: than the blowout in this one.

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: They're three and a half percent below the second worst

191
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: three point shooting team in the country. Like, I don't

192
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: think it stays that bad. Jermaine Man won't shoot nine

193
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: percent from three this year, but like, they're clearly not

194
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: a good shooting team and they don't shoot it with confidence.

195
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: I think there's something to be said for that as well. Yeah,

196
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: I would lean towards the under. I want to do

197
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: a quick fun fact on the Mississippi State and Jackson State.

198
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: It is being played at the Mississippi Coliseum, Jackson. This

199
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: arena fellas I found out, is built on top of

200
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: an extinct volcano. There's an extinct volcano in Jackson, Mississippi,

201
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: one of four in the entire US. I went down

202
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: a rabbit hole when I found that and started reading

203
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: A clouds dormant.

204
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: Right, hopefully it's stays dormant.

205
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: It begun well, it's extinct. To you, it's extinct, But

206
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: I could see Mississpivalley State being somewhat of a volcano here.

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: The one thing Jackson State has been unable to quit

208
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: when they get down. They have a lot of fight

209
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: to them. Michigan got up big on them, Akron was

210
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: just up twenty eight at halftime on them, and Jackson

211
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: State came all the way back to cut it to

212
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: like eight in that game. So maybe a first half

213
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,359
Speaker 2: I think would be the best option because if Mississippi

214
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: State gets up big, they could get sleepy, and Jackson

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: State has shown that they refuse to quit or go quietly.

216
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 2: So we're modifying the blowouts kai, but I think we're

217
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: still getting good bets here.

218
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: I love it. I also love the volcano facts. That's wonderful.

219
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: Matt clearly does not know his volcanoes, embarrassing for him

220
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: should have attention in science class.

221
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 4: I'm more of an Asia volcano, Like that's my Pacific

222

263
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, UCLA heading to Maryland a future Big ten showdown.

264
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 3: In what continues to be a travesty that UCLA and

265
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: USC are going to the Big Ten. Kim Pom has

266
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 3: this one at Maryland minus one at home. Matt the

267
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: Terps two straight really close losses. Now back in the

268
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: friendly confines. Of College Park, very very long travel for UCLA,

269
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: who have get this zero quality wins outside of the

270
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: Pac twelve. Who do you like in this game?

271
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: I kind of lean Maryland, just the fact that they're

272
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: back at home and they're coming off those two straight

273
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: losses you mentioned. I think Maryland had a slight, slight

274
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: let down in energy and effort just human nature. They

275
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: played so many big games now, I think they're finally

276
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: back in College Park friendly confines there used to come

277
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 4: across country. I know you Seiz's desperate because they badly

278
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: need a huge win, like they just haven't got won

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: this season and Cronin started. You can kind of feel

280
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 4: the frustration, and I know they're still trying to tinkering

281
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: with like some role usage there in the back court.

282
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: So I lean Maryland. I think this is a legit team.

283
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: Nothing fluky about their start at all, just kind of

284
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: came up with the wrong end in a couple of

285
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 4: close games lately. I think they get back in the

286
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: win column here. Basically pick them. So, yeah, you bet

287
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: on to win, I'll take the turps.

288
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I echo all those points. I think you get

289
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: a lot for home here because of how excited the

290
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: crowd is about Kevin Willard's team despite the couple of losses,

291
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: Maryland as a team being more comfortable at home, and

292
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: there's a little well. I don't want to put too

293
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: much on UCLA on this because Coronin is a master

294
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: motivator typically, but they do play Kentucky up in New

295
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: York on Saturday, and so I could see an eye

296
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: towards that game, as like, man, that's our big time

297
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: statement one. Obviously, this is a big game at Maryland too.

298
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to sleep walk through it

299
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: or anything, but I think they might be a little

300
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: bit more focused on Kentucky because that is massive, massive,

301
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: and I just, yeah, combine all that together, I make

302
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: this about a Pickcai, but I might bet Maryland just

303
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: because I think it's a great spot for m I agree.

304
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: I like Maryland as well, and I was impressed with

305
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: them against Tennessee. They missed a lot of open shots,

306
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: like a lot of open shots in that first half,

307
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: get dug themselves a hole. Then they came back and

308
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: that's impressive due against the top five team like the Vault.

309
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Matt just said, the gauntlet they've been going through.

310
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: They got down fifteen and a half, couldn't make a

311
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: thing like I think you could just roll over there,

312
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: and they did not at all.

313
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: Yep, very impressive. And then on Friday, that's right, we're

314
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: talking Friday game here, Creighton heads to Marque for a

315
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: Big East battle. I believe it's the opener for both

316
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: squads in the Big East. Marquette minus three per Kin Pum,

317
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: the Jays jim are looking to end a five game

318
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: losing skid. They're all American center Ryan Colckbrinner probably still

319
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: out with mono that takes a while to get over.

320
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: And Marque has been really good. They just smacked their

321
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: dame on the road. Do you have a leaning either

322
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: way in this game?

323
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Well, I would have loved to bet Marquette, and maybe

324
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: I still will, but I certainly wouldn't have expected it

325
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: to be Marquette minus three in the preseason. I don't

326
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: think anybody would have expected that anticipated at Creighton top

327
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: ten in pretty much every rankings preseason, top five in some,

328
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: and they've tumbled now to where they are outside the

329
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: top twenty five per both AP and per Analytics Ken

330
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: Pom rankings. Meanwhile, Marquette has shot up as high as

331
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: any power conference team like they continue to climb Matt.

332
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: To my eye, they look fantastic. Tyler Kohlik is the

333
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: most like Bugy. I can get under the rim anytime

334
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: I want. You can't always finish down there, but he

335
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: just gets there and the defense has to bend and

336
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: fold around him, and he picks out great passes. One

337
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: of the better passers in the country, maybe the best

338
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: one in the Big East. I don't like what I've

339
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: seen from Crayton. I don't think they other than Shireman,

340
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how much they create great shots for

341
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: each other, and they haven't been making shots since they

342
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: left Maui. So I definitely lean towards the Golden Eagles.

343
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: I think there might be something like Marquette. Oh, they're

344
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: playing a team that's lost five in a row. Maybe

345
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: they let down, but Shock is gonna be like, this

346
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: is the biggest preseason favorite. You can't get hyped for

347
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: this in our conference home opener, then who are you?

348
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 6: So?

349
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I like the Golden Eagles again, kind.

350
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: Of a random Macro take here, but Texas fans got

351
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: to be obviously with the whole Crispyard thing a little

352
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: bit purtued. By that, But then you're looking at shakas

353
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: par at the guy that was there for how many

354
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: years and broad in talent, under achieved with that talent.

355
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: Now he's doing the exact opposite Marquette, bringing good talent

356
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 4: but kind of under the radar, hidden gem talent and

357
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: just extrap playing the absolute max them out right. Last

358
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: year phenomenal season, I think start to finish. They had

359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 4: some bumps in the roads, but just like outpaced expectations.

360
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: This year, same thing. Yeah, lean their way right, like

361
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: without Kyl Crner.

362
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 5: Like, what is this Creighting team?

363
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: A team that can't cheep without an improtector. I definitely

364
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: want to back that team.

365
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see the line is I'm very curious to see.

366
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: I bet it's highed five. Probably No, I bet it's not.

367
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: Man, I think Creighton still has a lot of respect.

368
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: You never know.

369
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: Maybe it just hire mat take some respect off their name,

370
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: take some respect the episode.

371
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: I think they take money. That's because Colchbrenner was out.

372
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: I suppose we'll see if Kalkbrenner can give it a go.

373
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: I tend to think he won't. Yeah, Shaka, by the way,

374
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: Marquette this season better in Kim Palm than four of

375
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 3: his six Texas teams. Currently, guy just does better with

376
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: lower expectations.

377
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: He was that Texas team had like a five star

378
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: center that got drafted in the lottery every single year.

379
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: And that's not his style. That's not what he wants.

380
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: Just not And we move on mid Major Game of

381
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: the week. We have two. We have one on Wednesday,

382
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: we have one on Thursday. The first New Mexico State

383
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: is going to Saint Mary's. Kim Pom's got this one

384
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: A minus thirteen for the Gaels who have been awesome,

385
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: I'll just say this about in Mexico State gym. The

386
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: off the court stuff has not affected them whatsoever. They

387
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: nearly beat Santa Clara, they handled Duquane, and now you

388
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: have Saint Mary's. He's coming off a massive San Diego

389
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: State win. I don't think it's the type of team

390
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: that does letdowns, But if there's a spot thirteen points,

391
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: you never know.

392
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, potentially, I wonder if Saint Mary's Matt will probably

393
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: try to twist this motivation into we lost at home

394
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: to New Mexico. Let's at least beat New Mexico State.

395
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: We can't get swept by that state that that'd be

396
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: bad news. Kind of your point about not getting affected

397
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: by the off the court stuff. I think that can

398
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: probably go one of two ways, where it just totally

399
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: derails your team, or it's a circle of the wagons

400
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 2: rally in the fox hole with each other. And it

401
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: seems like New Mexico State has taken the more positive

402
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: approach out of it, and the coaches did kind of

403
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 2: go to bat for the players in all that. It

404
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: hasn't maybe been great for them legal long term, we'll see,

405
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: but it probably brings them closer together and they know

406
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: the coaches in their corner. And then that road went

407
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: at Dukane was was really really impressive, a bad travel

408
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: spot and they took care of business. But Matt, I

409
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: would lean towards the Gales. Thirteen is pretty high. If

410
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm making a number, I'm probably looking more towards the Aggies,

411
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: But got instinct matchup wise where Saint Mary's can kind

412
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: of take away the lane against a team that kind

413
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: of wants to bomb the rim, I lean towards the

414
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Gales there. Yeah.

415
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: The only time you need to fead Saint Mary's is

416
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: when they're away from home or in a bad, bad matchup,

417
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: I guess like a weird matchup like Washington, right, It

418
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 4: was kind of one of those spots where it was like,

419
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 4: you know, coming off of back to back against his

420
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: own you can see some weirdness and thus them not

421
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 4: playing at the level that we've expected that they've shown

422
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: so far this year. Yeah, this is a weird spot

423
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: because you just beat Sanneyos Tapa. You're back home and

424
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: so far home this year, they'd beat North Texas by thirty,

425
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: they beat Offshore by thirty, they beat Southern by only twenty,

426
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: had Or Roberts beat by twenty only one by eight,

427
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: beat Vermont by twenty six, beat Missouri State by twenty.

428
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: I don't know.

429
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: I mean it seems high to me too, but then

430
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: is it No, I don't know. In Mexico State this

431
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 4: year guys fifth in the country three point percentage. They've

432
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: actually shouted three very well, and they're willing to do

433
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 4: this season. That's definitely a departure from what we're used to. Thursday,

434
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: we see you see Irvine going to Santa Clara, a

435
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 4: team we might have talked about earlier on this podcast.

436
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 4: It's hard to remember with all the shows we do.

437
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: Santa Clara minus one per kimpom might be a little surprising.

438
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 4: I bet it's a little bit higher, Matt when the

439
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 4: market's open. Irvine right now has the third highest ranking

440
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: in the Kimpom era.

441
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: For the program. They've been a bit up and down

442
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: in my opinion, but the analytics, hey, they aren't lying

443
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: right now. They've had some really great efforts. Santa Clara

444
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: has had a bunch of impressive wins, done mostly nothing wrong.

445
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: Do you have a lean in this game?

446
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: I kind of lean Santa Clara.

447
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to wait to see what they do against

448
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: Portland State, which will be on Tuesday.

449
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 5: Coming off that tough loss at.

450
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: Home at San Jose State over the weekend, I'm looking

451
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 4: to find a good spot here to back Santa Clara.

452
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: Like I love Russell Turner, I love you see your Vine.

453
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 4: I just think this team is a little bit different

454
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: than the ones he's had in the past, and I

455
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: don't trust it as much.

456
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 5: Maybe I shouldn't.

457
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: Maybe I should look at that as like a Hey,

458
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: he's evolving and adapting and succeeding with a new DNA.

459
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: But I kind of think I trust Russell Turner's DNA

460
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 4: with like two much of rim protectors, defense execution not

461
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: exactly like elite shot making, which is what this team

462
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 4: is writing.

463
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: It's hot streak on.

464
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: So all that's to say, Jimi lean Santa Clara, Hopefully

465
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: they lose Supportland State and I get a good spot

466
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: to back them.

467
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: Well, I'm on Santa Clara, So I hope you're wrong.

468
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: How dare you hope I lose a bet? Yeah, but

469
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: people listening will know either I want to wager on

470
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: Santa Clara or I did not. We'll find out. But yeah, Matt,

471
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: to your point, the DNA is super different. Like in

472
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: the past ten years, Irvine hasn't ranked worse than one

473
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 2: hundred and fortieth in block Grate. They're three hundred and

474
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: twenty first this year. They don't have that alien s defender,

475
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: the Jonathan Gallaway, who's like a three time Big West

476
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. They don't take away the

477
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: rim quite as well, but their fourth and three point

478
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 2: percentage either like the new Mexico State fact you just

479
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: gave us where not a team we expect to be

480
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: so willing and able to shoot the three. But man,

481
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: this team has crazy shot making sort of with Matt,

482
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: especially if it's one. I'll have it shaded a little

483
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: bit higher towards Santa Clara, but man, I respect what

484
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: Irvine's done. They've had some really high, high efforts and

485
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: I think they're designed. They're going to be a little

486
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: more erratic than in past years because of the new

487
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: DNA of the team.

488
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: We move on the trash Man Pick of the Week,

489
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: just one, the ultimate trash pile.

490
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: The trash Man pick of the Week. I'm the trash man.

491
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 5: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it.

492
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 5: Totally unreliable, undependable.

493
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: That's it.

494
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: You've been told off.

495
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: How do you like that?

496
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: Good?

497
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: This week we have Long Island LU at Albany, and

498
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: Albany being a six point favorite for kim Pom tells

499
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: you the other team must be pretty bad. Well, they are.

500
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: LU is three hundred and fifty third and kim Pom

501
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: Albany ranks three hundred and thirty third. Lu's gotten beat

502
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: pretty bad just about every game. They're one of the

503
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: worst offenses in the country. Albany has been awful, one

504
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: of the worst defenses in the country. Between the pair, Matthew,

505
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: they have just one Division One win this season. You're

506
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: gonna watch this game. You're gonna bet this game?

507
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do.

508
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 5: Welling to either? Maybe I'll bet Lad.

509
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: Actually I'm actually more out on Albany than I am LU.

510
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: I think Albany is a better team, but I'm from

511
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 4: a betting perspective. I think there's more value in fading

512
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: Albany in there as value in fading lul L.

513
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: You got a little healthier. Some of their results earlier

514
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 5: were just terrible scheduling, like complete stupid by games where

515
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: they got completely crushed. Utah is the one that sticks out.

516
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 5: And then Albany with like all their roster stuff and

517
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 5: coach weird stuff and like lawsuits going on.

518
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: At the school.

519
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 5: It just had a symcond great situation.

520
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna back lu here, maybe small honestly, not excited

521
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: about it obviously, but I'll get involved.

522
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, l I us three and four

523
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: against spread. They've seen some massive numbers. Let that out.

524
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: Baby.

525
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: Albany's two and seven against the spread, So clearly they've

526
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: been pretty bad. I mean, Lu, though, Trey Wood I

527
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: think is their most important guy, and he came back

528
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: and then was out again for the Yukon game. And

529
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: if he's not back in there. I have no interest

530
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 2: in backing them. They lost by checking the notes here,

531
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty seven points to Yukon. Oh my god,

532
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: that's terrible. I can't believe they lost by one hundred

533
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: and twenty seven.

534
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't do that math. One fourteen minus sixty one.

535
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: I can't do that math.

536
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: He's actually fifty three. Yeah, it's pretty bad, but a

537
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: fun minus thirty nine wager. Hey, hey, I cannot touch

538
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: this game. Both teams have way too much roster flux

539
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 2: where I wouldn't want to bet on them. It's enough

540
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: where I would bet against either team in the right situation,

541
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: but I can't bet on one of them.

542
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. My angle here is Albany can't be a six

543
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: point favorite against anybody, so I'm probably leaning towards LA here.

544
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll see what the action number is. Moving

545
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: on to our last section, it's a bit of a

546
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: different one in our spotlight section this week, guys, we're

547
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 3: talking whack a mole team's we can't figure out specific

548
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: to us or the group. And I'm gonna kick this

549
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: off here. I'm gonna start with the King of wackam

550
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: mole teams. In my opinion, and I'll explain why ut

551
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: Rio Grand Valley. Here's why they are the king of

552
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: wacka mole. You cannot get this team right. They're four

553
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: and four against the spread with nearly a zero cover margin.

554
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: That's the definition of whackamle. They were blown out their

555
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: first two games by K State and Texas A andam

556
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: Corpus Christi. Then they won their next two outright as

557
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: an underdog. Then they were blown out by Texas. Then

558
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: they have an outright win against Corpus Christy, a team

559
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: that just blew them out earlier this season. Then they

560
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: got blown out against westn Illinois, a team they beat outright,

561
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: and then a normal cover against Houston Christian. If that's

562
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: not the most Jekyl and Hyde squad resume, I just

563
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: don't know who is, Jim.

564
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: I think the impossible part for them is, like you said,

565
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: they have a zero cover margin, but every game is

566
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: covered by ten to fifteen points by either team. It's

567
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: not like they're hovering around the number every game. It's

568
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: way far away one way, and then the next game

569
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: they sling shot way back all the way. But it's

570
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: not linear like up and down. Each game you kind

571
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: of one game's good, too are bad, and two are

572
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: good like it's it's hard to figure. I've won a

573
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: couple bets on them, Kai, but I think maybe some

574
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: of that is good luck, good fortune. I enjoy Rio

575
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: Grand Valley. I was very high on them coming into

576
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: the year. I lost some money early in the season

577
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: with that Kansas State blowout, but I think I'm going

578
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: to be backing them going forward. Matt, I thought we

579
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: kind of liked the talent preseason. I don't know, we'll see.

580
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a when you have a bunch of

581
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 4: Juco guys and the whole rerun of or whole roster turnover,

582
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna have some volatility.

583
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 5: I'm not sold that I'm gonna be.

584
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 4: I thought I'd love this team, and it was really

585
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: turned off by the downs of those ebbs and flows

586
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 4: you mentioned, Kai, So I don't know, I'm not quite sold.

587
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, i think I'm owing two or own three against

588
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: spread on them, So I'm gonna just basically stop. Maybe, Well,

589
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: they're in the whack. That conference is brutal, so we'll see.

590
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: Middle Tennessee is my other team. Only three of their

591
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: eight games have been decided by single digits and just

592
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: one of them has been decided by less than seven points.

593
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: And this goes both ways because they're four and four

594
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: against the spread. Also, guys, their double digit wins include Rice, Hofstra,

595
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: steven f Austin, and Belmont. That looks pretty good, dang good,

596
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 3: but they have a double digit loss in Missouri State,

597
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: who has not looked pretty good this season, and they

598
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: have seven point plus losses to Winthrop and Saint Bonaventure.

599
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: They're a team that I just cannot get on the

600
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: correct side on and probably gonna stay away from them

601
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: for the foreseeable future. Matt, I know you love the

602
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: Blue Raiders. You talked about them earlier, but man, they

603
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: are frustrating.

604
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 4: They are frustrating. I still trust them. I don't believe

605
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: this volatility will last. I don't quite understand it, to

606
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 4: be honest to me. It's a team that kind of

607
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: lives off their competitive gene. Like that's the most redeeming

608
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: thing to say about them, as they're deep, but they're like,

609
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 4: they just played really hard against Rice.

610
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 5: Kai have we both watched the game? Was like, holy cow,

611
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 5: this team played as hard as shit.

612
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 4: But I guess when you don't and you have let

613
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 4: maybe that's what's prone to this sort of up and

614
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: down trajectories.

615
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 5: I don't know, Jim, I can't explain it. I still

616
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 5: like this team, Yeah, I like them.

617
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: They were the best ATS team in the country last year.

618
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: They went twenty six and eight. I think part of

619
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: that might have led to them being really highly valued.

620
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: So their good performances have to be awesome for them

621
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: to cover spreads. And the fact that they're still doing

622
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: it and are four and four rather than being like

623
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: totally overinflated and one and seven type of thing I

624
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: think is a testament to them. But yeah, I have

625
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: not I don't think i've bet a game correctly. I

626
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: was on Rice that game where Middle Tennessee won by forty.

627
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: I've certainly not figured out the Blue Raiders yet.

628
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: Frustrating indeed, well, let's kick it to you, Jim. A

629
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: couple teams here that you can't figure out.

630
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Marshall, Marshall, Marshall, that's who I cannot figure

631
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: out the Thundering Herd. It should be simple. This team

632
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: is eight and two against the spread. Hey, Jim, you idiot.

633
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: Just bet on them. But I was really high on

634
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: them coming into the year. Bet on them. Opening night,

635
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: they lost at home to Queen's, a newcomers d one

636
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: who they were high on.

637
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, they're really good.

638
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were high on Queens coming in, but I

639
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: didn't think they would win at Marshall, and that kind

640
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: of threw me off. The scent on the Thundering Herd.

641
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: I think I bet against them a game or two

642
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: after that, and then I thought, okay, perfect spotch Chigo

643
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: State's coming to town. Marshall's played really well, and then

644
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: Chicago State covers. So there, I'm oher and two betting

645
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: on them. I am now to this point oh and

646
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: four betting against them. I'm also oh and two betting

647
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: they're over. So that ish to eight on games involving

648
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: Marshall Matt. To me, that's the ultimate whack the mole

649
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: because I whatever side or total I bet on them,

650
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I can't figure them out.

651
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 4: I think I downgraded them after both the Queen's game

652
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: and the Chicago State game, like and then didn't give

653
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 4: them the three X upgrades they deserve for every other

654
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: twenty point bludgeting. But yeah, can we could probably cut

655
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: Chicigo State in this group of whack the mole teams.

656
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: I think it's gyms, one of gym's.

657
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously the line I'm looking my list

658
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: here was the Hazlo Metrics Top twenty most inconsistent teams.

659
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: There's a web of like incest here with these teams,

660
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: Like you see a lot of that kind of all

661
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: fall in the top five. It's like, hmm, maybe they've

662
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 4: just played the same I don't know, but I think

663
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: Marshall is just an annoying kind undrums solved right now.

664
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 5: But I think they are really.

665
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: Good Jim Chicago State.

666
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of up and down, like where I

667
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: think I have them solved. Oh, they're not playing very

668
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: well out back Valpo coming to town against them, and

669
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: then they destroy Valpo. That thirteen point final margin you

670
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: might see is totally misleading there up by thirty in

671
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: that game, and then okay, I'm kind of back on

672
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: track to go to Kent State get blown out. Like

673
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: I said, I bet on Marshall against them, but they

674
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: covered against Marshall. I did get them right at Marquette.

675
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: They were super feisty in that game. They got down

676
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: big close to the number and then came all the

677
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: way back to cut it to like a ten point

678
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: game in the final minute, and then I tried to

679
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: bet him against Petum Cookman, who's been bad. I was

680
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: wrong there, and then I thought, you T Martin would

681
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: blow him out, and they got up twenty two halftime,

682
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: and then Chicago State came back to force overtime. They're

683
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: pretty up and down two man, and I think what

684
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 2: I should do, the smart approach would be to just

685
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: stay away Kai. Yes, we'll see what I actually do.

686
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I would agree. There are six and five against

687
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: the spread, which we talked about on our other podcast.

688
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: Our main podcast is basically ridiculous, and Gerald Gillian deserves

689
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: an award for being like, yeah, he does exceed expectations coach,

690
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: He's been incredible.

691
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: Matt.

692
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: A couple teams that you cannot figure out this season.

693
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, more than a couple.

694
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: Package three to start a swack trifecta. I'm sorry, HPCU trifecta, Grambling,

695
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 4: Norfolk all corn. I think the common dominator here is

696
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 4: that they're all three really good, but they've all three

697
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: had a couple of key pieces in out of the lineup.

698
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: I think the inconsistency is just a manifestation of a

699
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: terrible schedule where they've had some games they've absolutely just

700
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: folded based on, you know, running out of gas. Like

701
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: I think Grambling losing to incarnate word makes no sense

702
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: given to who we've seen them get within me is

703
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: that you know PRAI we saw this with Prairie you

704
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 4: and Alcorn last two years, right, Like was it Paer

705
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: you went up to Boise and lost by sixty or something?

706
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: So I think with these teams that are really good

707
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: in the HPCU community that are all these world tours,

708
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: you kind of have to pick your spots wisely. So

709
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: the other one I had kai that was really confused

710
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 4: by was Detroit Mercy and Western Carolina. I think against

711
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: similar parallels between them, transfer talent is what is the

712
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 4: impetus of those two teams. Now Western Carolina is stratus

713
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: spears below Detroit talent wise, but I think that's what

714
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 4: causes the turbulence driven by player performance.

715
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 5: Less so by system execution so to speak.

716
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: And I think that can you know, if you're making shots,

717
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 4: you get really really hot ride your talent, but if

718
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: you're not, there's nothing back, there's nothing to fall back on.

719
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 5: I guess quick.

720
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: Point on your first three Matt, I think, like you said,

721
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: you mentioned the schedule. I think it's a huge part

722
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: of it. Norfolk State's played zero D one home games,

723
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Alcorn States played zero home games at all, and Great

724
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: Hamily State's played one.

725
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: D one one maybe yeh yeah.

726
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 2: So it's it's just hard to figure the world tour thing.

727
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: I think Grahamlin is good. I think is really good.

728
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: I think Alcorn could still be good. I think Western

729
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: Carolina is terrible, Matthew, So I think Detroit's actually really good.

730
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 3: I think they have a lot of talent, and I'm

731
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: in on them.

732
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: Jim, especially as they if they remain whole in terms

733
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: of roster with Laddell out there and Stone and Oliver

734
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: and Davis, Like, when those guys are all on the floor,

735
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: that team is tough, tough.

736
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you know who else is tough, the three

737
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: man weave. That's right us. Thanks for joining us guys
