1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: All right, here we go spreading the court.

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: Ten seconds or maining.

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 3: They just go throw off to the basket. Under the basket.

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: It's down a seven second.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: It's the crew for the wind. God make americle I.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: It's the water hit, that one from the parking lot.

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: 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
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,920

Speaker 3: and some just claw your eyes out of the week.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: Don't bother watching these unless you're a huge degenerate likes

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: Oh baby, I am ready. I don't care how deep

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the water is. I'm going cannonball. I don't care if

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: it's deep end shallow end.

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: We're diving in, boys, cannon ball, Yep, I'm with you.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: I'll deal a canoper behind Jim, not as risky, but

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: sort of a half ass risky follow to my boy.

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: Jimmy cannonball fall by a canopener. We'll start guys Live

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: of the Week, trying to pick out some moneyline dogs

Speaker 3: here for you to feast on the week after things getting.

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Feasting on dog Yeah right, come on, Oh.

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Well we don't do that in this country.

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna skirt that issue and we're going to

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: go right into UNLV at SMU. Kim Pom has this

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 3: game at minus eate, this game's tip and Wednesday Night.

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: My first question for you, Fellas, what's wrong with SMU

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: Jim after collapsing three times in second halves. They needed

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: a herculean effort to beat ul Monroe. And meanwhile, UNLV's

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: covered a couple of games. Their schedule has been nuts.

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: Do you think you if you can pull off the upset.

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I do To reply to your question what's wrong with SMU?

50
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: I would say what isn't wrong with SMU? Right now?

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: This team has plenty of issues. There is a coach

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: on the hot seat, They have a little bit of

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: banged up, injury concerns. Kendrick Davis hasn't been the All

54
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: American threat that we really hoped he would be. It's

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: just been kind of disappointing year. Blown out by Oregon

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: Boston overtime, the Zoo. You can't do that. You can't zoo,

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: and I just I think this UNLAM is talented and

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of on the up and up. They got blown

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: out by UCLA so last game notwithstanding, but they were

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: really feisty with Michigan nearly beat Wichita State. I think

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: getting Jordan mccab in the lineup has been huge for them.

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: He's been kind of the steady the ship point guard

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: set other guys up I wrote about this on three

64
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: man Wee dot com if you're curious. But I just

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: think the team's pretty solid, well coached, and they have

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: talent that the only thing they lacked is size, and

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't think SMU is going to crush them inside.

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just play hard love from their feistiness that

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: we saw in the desert there in an empty showcase.

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: And then back to SMU. Not to beat the dead

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: horse that's already ten feet under another five feet, but

72
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: just thinking a step back looking at this roster, it's

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: basically two mid major up transfers, starting in the Weathers Brothers,

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: although I think we agree that Marcus is better than

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: that sort of been a vacuum pedigree context. And then

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Zach Nuttle from Sam Houston State and interesting Clark who's

77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: on like his you know, kind of has the robo hips,

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: sort of old man over the hump type of thing.

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: And you're left with Kender Davis and Emmanuel Vanduel. It's

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: not a good roster. I'm kind of questioning why ever

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: fell out with the roster. Maybe it was more of

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: the coach and the Kendrick. The King Kendrick rise to

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: royalty even though he was probably already at that point,

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: so I don't know. I'm trying to understand where I

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: went wrong with that one, and I'm with Jim. I

86
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: think UNLV is gonna be a live, live dog. This

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: spread might come down lower, but I think they have

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: a real chance to win this game.

89
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: I frankly don't trust either team thus far in the season,

90
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: so I might pick another game here and in this

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 3: slate here. I know, Jim, I know, not a great start.

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting you on. I'm gonna get you on board

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: with you LB at some point this year. You're gonna

94
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna tug you over to my side, and you're gonna

95
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna come on over.

96
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: We'll keep tabs on that, folks. We'll see if Jim

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: can do it. Let's go to our next game. Oral

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: Roberts at TCU. Now Kim Pom has this at minus eleven.

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: This one's Thursday Night Fellas. I'd be shocked if this

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: spread was this high because Oral Bob has been on fire.

101
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: This is absolutely a game, in my opinion, worth sprinkling. Now,

102
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 3: Matt ORL. Roberts has not been good away from home.

103
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: They're owing two against the spread versus two and zer

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: against spread at home five and overall three wins against

105
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: non D one opponents. Whatever, right, right, there's or Roberts

106
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: come into fort Worth. You don't just go into fort Worth.

107
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: No, you don't defrat Worth absolutely not places. What's the

108
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: They have a new stadium. I hear what it's called,

109
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 2: but anyway, it's not Karon indoors Olmeyer Arena, Vintage, Vintage Venue,

110
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: Scholmeyer Classic.

111
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: Do you They were redesigning the court and it looked

112
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: like really scaly horned frog stuff and it wasn't done,

113
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: but people thought it was. And we're like, they're playing

114
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: on that, like it was a weird gray what about

115
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: a unique comm advantage.

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: It would have been? And then before that they played

117
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: at like the fort Worth YMCA at least that's what

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: it looked like from the camera angle. Anyway, I don't

119
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: care where this game is played, to be honest, I

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: think Max Asmis is on the up and up and

121
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: his Eagles are starting to soar. I think you look

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: at that Central Arkansas loss and people are like, oh, gross,

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: oh are he's broken. They're not the same thing as

124
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: last year, and like that was just a weird random

125
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: game that a lot of shots went in for a UCN.

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: A lot of shots didn't go in for or Bob.

127
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: We've seen their old Bob team the last two games

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. They should have won that game, by the way,

129
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: and then being Talsa, I think they're going to go

130
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: on a little stars here, a little confidence, getting that

131
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: mojo back from last year. Maybe the start was more

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: of a hangover from the Cinderella run. And yeah, just

133
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: because or you had some stinkers to start, you're getting

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: some really good value here on the money line sprinkles.

135
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: So this is I think, Jim, you picked out the

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: best one on the board for the next week or so.

137
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Oral Bobby. They're coming on. You mentioned

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: SHOT's not going at Asmus was three for eighteen at

139
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Central Arkansas, Like that is all time fluky for him.

140
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: He's too good for that performance. Orl Robert's Oral Roberts.

141
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: That's fine, or Oral Broberts. They're a little weak. They're

142
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: a little weak in the paint. So Emmanuel Miller for TC,

143
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: you could have a big one, but it's just they're

144
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: not strong enough. They don't have like a true center,

145
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: like if they played somebody one of those big ten

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: powerhouses with like TJD or Hunter Dickinson or something. Oral

147
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Bob would be in a lot of trouble. But this

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: is a junior matchup of Ohio State where it's like

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: a versatile forward. Miller is the comp to e j Odell,

150
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: and we know this team can bet Ohio State. They

151
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: did beat Ohio State. So I am I am in

152
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: on Oral Roberts winning this game.

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: I'll say this as well. TCU just isn't that good

154
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: right now. They're letting teams hang around. Yeah, it's been

155
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: a little disappointing. They can't really get away from these

156
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: bigger spreads.

157
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: I'm out at you both. You talk me into TCU

158
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: and I know just drinking the kool aid, and now

159
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm spinning up that kool aid. It's gets written with poison.

160
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: It's November thirtieth. We'll give them time, we'll see where

161
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: the land and conference play. But at the very least,

162
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: I think we're all Bob stays with in double digits here.

163
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: So keep it on that spread. Moving on Wednesday. Back

164
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: to Wednesday, Ohio the Bobcats at LSU. Kim Pomp predicts

165
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: a spread at twelve gym. The question on your mind

166
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: and everyone's mind is are the Tigers actually invincible because

167
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: they've jumped up from forty three to seventeen in kimpom

168
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: and they're sporting a top twenty defense.

169
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Right now, And I buy it. It sounds crazy to

170
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: be like LSU will wait, awesome defense, What how's that happening?

171
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Because last two to three years that has not been

172
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: the case. But there is length in athleticism and physicality

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: all over this defense their first nationally and Steel rate

174
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: their fifth and Black Grate. They just make shit happen

175
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. And as much as I like

176
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Ohio and they're well coached and they have a budding

177
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: young star at point guard, Alsu's just overwhelmed every mid

178
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: major team that's ventured down to baton rouge like it's

179
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: been disgusting. They beat belm up by thirty, They beat

180
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Liberty by sixteen, overwhelmed in the second half, beat Texas

181
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: State by twenty five. Like mid major teams haven't been

182
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: able to measure up to this. I think ALSU takes

183
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: care business.

184
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: I think Ohio can hang around because they're smart and

185
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: they have their bigs and Fords, can handle the ball

186
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: and make good decisions. They have a proven point guard,

187
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: like a younger point guard. Put like a good point

188
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: guard that we trust in Mark Sears, and you have

189
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: to be able to handle the pressure in s LSU.

190
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: That's how they put on these thirty to zero runs.

191
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: As Eric milsonin calls it, the spurt ability effect. The

192
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: LSU has it this year, and so Ohio is partial.

193
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: You know that just because of their DNA. This is

194
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: a stay away for me. In terms of a live dog,

195
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: I think Ohio is probably the right side from a

196
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: spread perspective, but in terms of money line sprinkles, this

197
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: is not what I'm looking to go for.

198
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: I am worried about the Dwight Wilson injury for Ohio

199
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: all season. This probably affects them a little bit here

200
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: in this game. Also London mcdey, who was all defense

201
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: in the backlash year.

202
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: He's wanted to mc dirty work.

203
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a starter by any means, but man,

204
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: he's important. He's a blue guy. Like I said, all defense.

205
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: That that matters against a power team. You're trying to

206
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: lock up LSU's offense. By the way, it's top twenty

207
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: as well, top thirty. Whatever it is, it's very good.

208
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just good.

209
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio gave up like a thirty three to ten

210
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: run at Kentucky and Lsu might not be Kentucky, but

211
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: it's possible to put it on him for sure.

212
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: I kind of see a lot of points in this game.

213
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: If anything, I might take the over Ohio as the

214
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: shooting for sure, and Lsu, I think is going to

215
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: put up points in droves. So so keep an eye

216
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: on the total as well for Wednesday. All right, last

217
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: one here before I kick it the map for maybe

218
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: one or two other ones. De Paul is hosting Loyla

219
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: Chicago in a battle in our city. Matthew, Yeah, are

220
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: we going to this? You know what? Should we go in?

221
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: Should we go in Tampa is the better question.

222
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: Depending what side Ron Loyla projected at minus five for

223
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: Kim Palm. Now, I'm pretty sure Kim Pom is thrown

224
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: in quite a bit of home here. DePaul's home got

225
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: that great to begin with, and Loyla is literally taking.

226
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,239
Speaker 1: It's not called trust arena, it's come on, but Liell.

227
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: Is taking the bus down or taking the train down

228
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: to this arena. I mean, it's it's very short. I

229
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: like picturing them on the l the resident Uh, but

230
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: Matt Demons might be for real man, their strength and

231
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 3: schedule might be a little bit weak. Right now, They've

232
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: only played one Top one fifty team. They're five and

233
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: one against a spread. They're clearly better than last year.

234
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: Littell was pretty good themselves. Do you think that Paul

235
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 3: gets it done here? A little moneyline.

236
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: Sprinkle, Yes, I do, actually, and that's that's that's the

237
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: spite of the fact that I watched Loyola look very

238
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: much the part as a power conference caliber squad against

239
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Michigan State in Auburn and no way overmatched in those games.

240
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: We saw them destroy meddling in major as little majors

241
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: the first four games, so that was kind of the

242
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: first witness test. Then they beat the crap in at

243
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: Arizona State. I know Arizona State's a little bit in

244
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: dis ray right now, but you win by eighteen, that

245
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: still is worth It's something in my mind. So Loola

246
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: is legit. I think top forty legit. De paul is

247
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: could they be top fifty? Good Jim on the side,

248
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm against you.

249
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I think to Paul is been a little bit froddy

250
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: so far, and they're gonna get exposed by Loyal. They

251
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: haven't played anyone like the Lunkers, the best team they played,

252
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: and it took a wild shot making exhibition late to

253
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: beat Rutgers. I don't think to Paul is as good

254
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: as they've shown great at blowing out bad teams. I

255
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: think Loyol is going to wake them up a little bit.

256
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: I like that Matt two for you from the Big Ten. Now,

257
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: these are tough to call moneyline dog sprinkles, but spread's

258
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty high in both these games. What are

259
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: you looking at?

260
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should both be seven point plus spreads. Looking

261
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: at Rutgers at Illinois and looking at Iowa at Purdue,

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: basically about two top five, top ten teams in the country,

263
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: two of the best teams in the Big time looking

264
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: to fade. And I don't know, maybe ILLINOI or fading

265
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: illin Oil and Purdue is foolish, but ILLINOI has had

266
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: a massive problem closing out games. I think they haven

267
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: at propensity. Let teams hang around. Rutgers could be in

268
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: an all time desperate spot, maybe getting Joo a Baker

269
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: back in that game. It just feels like one of

270
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: those spots where you look at the Scots like Rutgers

271
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: is being Illinois. Huh, I mean ILLINOI was bonkers hot

272
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: and they were up four or five against Notre Dame

273
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: last night. I know that was without Corbello, but everyone

274
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: else played. Fraser was there, all the other dudes were,

275
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: all the other horses were intact. So I don't know.

276
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Rutgers. There's a live dog, and then

277
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: one more. And then with Iowa. Jim, we watched Iowa

278
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: have Virginia on the ropes. Yeah, I was on the

279
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: road and I was legit. And they certainly can pose

280
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: a mismatch problems with the way Keegan Murray can step out,

281
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: move on the perimeter, perhaps drag heavieron Williams and Zachi

282
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: Ye away from the rim. I know Purdue losing at

283
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Maki is like happens once in a million years. But

284
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 2: Iowa is that good this year. I think we disrespected

285
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: them pre season, and odds makers are still looking to

286
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: catch up.

287
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: I think produce smashes Iowa. Unfortunately. I thought they were

288
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: thrown in a lot of slop against Virginia early and

289
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: even in the second half. They had some shots that

290
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: I didn't feel were totally consistent or sustainable. It's for

291
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: the other one. Man. I don't know what to do

292
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: with either of those teams. I'm almost to the point

293
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: where I think Illinois a little better when Corbello's out

294
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: because he's so sloppy with the ball. I agree in

295
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: tajer Rocks, Yeah, Fraser's fantastic. On Alfonso Plumber has been

296
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: really really good, steadier than we thought. He's usually very streaky.

297
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think I'm on board with either of

298
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: these Matthew unfortunately, but I am keeping an eye on

299
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: Iowa because I was just definitely too low on them

300
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: in the preseason and I'm still catching up.

301
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: And I like, guys, I want one more because our producer,

302
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: one of our producers, Tommy Freeze Pops has a question

303
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: from Hey, Rhode Island's head to Providence this week in

304
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: what is arguably the number one rivalry in this state

305
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: in college basketball. Brown is insulted. Brown's insulted, as is Bryant.

306
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: There are four teams in Rhode Island. That's ridiculous, two

307
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: in Minnesota for this track at home. Yeah, huge rivalry.

308
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: Can the Rams compete here? Can the Rams pull the

309
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: upset they didn't play last year?

310
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: Gym.

311
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: Rhode Island one two years ago, Providence won three years ago.

312
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: Do you see Roady sticking around?

313
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I kind of do, man. This Rhode Island defense is

314
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: for real, like the shot blocking. They lead the country

315
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: in block rate. The Mitchell Twins are just beasts in

316
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: the paint, and Providence is banged up right now. Jared

317
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: Bynham is definitely out against Texas Tech just announced, and

318
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine he'll probably be out for this one.

319
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: So you lose a little playmaking there. Nate Watson's not

320
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: going to be the normal like, oh we can just

321
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: throw out to him and get a bucket because of

322
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: the Mitchell Twins. So I'm not a huge fan of

323
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: David Cox at Rhode Island. Matt not not a coach

324
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: that I trust. But I think this team's pretty solid.

325
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I undersold them as well. And Providence maybe uh struggle

326
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: a little bit with with some of their injuries. Yeah.

327
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: I like Rode Island a lot this year. The Fat's

328
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Russell effect is I'm not going to go full of

329
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: blown youing theory that they're just better without him going, okay,

330
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: could I will, Yeah, they're better without it, because you

331
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: know why they have Jeremy Shepherd playing more on ball,

332
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: who's like the antithesis of Russell right, more calm, collected,

333
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: composed Ishelle A Meane from Ball State who was a star.

334
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: There is a very effective efficient like off ball confermentary piece.

335
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: So just that Tanam in the back court makes me

336
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: feel oodles better than I did about the Rhode Island

337
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: offense last year, which was you don't know what the

338
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: hell you're gonna get with that team, And so with

339
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: that sort of stabiliyon offense with the defense, Shim talked about,

340
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: I like the Rams.

341
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: I do.

342
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: I think they win here, they win on the road,

343
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: they win at the dunk, the duncan dempressive.

344
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: Kimpom's got the spread only one around four, so it

345
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: will be pretty low.

346
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: And by the way, for those that don't know about

347
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: the history of Providence and gambling, you can bet a

348
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: few people in the arena will have tickets on either

349
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: side of here. So I would advise you, if you're

350
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: going to be in the building to hop in on

351
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: the ramis very good.

352
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Matthew, All right, let's move on. Let's talk about some blowouts, guys,

353
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: teams that we feel are just going to crush their

354
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: competition usually involves a lowe major heading to a high major.

355
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Usually involves Central Arkansas Arkansas.

356
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: And in fact, that's who we're gonna talk about right now,

357
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: because they're going to Arkansas. Yeah, in state rivalry. Baby,

358
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: we're continuing the theme here. Kim Pom has it minus

359
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: thirty one. This is Wednesday. Central Arkansas is lost by

360
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: thirty five, thirty two, and then forty five to start

361
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: the year. Matt, the roster's bad. It's young, coach is

362
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: fairly new. But they beat or Roberts. They took a

363
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: twenty seven point lost in Orleans, Ok, okay, but then

364
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: they covered against DMI and Presbyterian. So are they just

365
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: like better than what I'm expecting? Can they stick with arkansaw?

366
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: I kind of think no, but I want to hear

367
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: your thoughts. Yeah, either you're taking UC moneyline or you're

368
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: laying the points to Arkansas. I wouldn't go in between here.

369
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: It's just two extremely high varianced teams and Arkansas is

370
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: built to put teams to bed pretty quickly. And I think,

371
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: UCA is I look at those results? What more true

372
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: to form? To me?

373
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: Kay?

374
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: Is that disgusting? Just not even competitive game against neur Orleans,

375
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: not the game they beat or Bob so Yes, I'm

376
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: not Arkansas fan in general. I think they're all rated.

377
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: I think people think they're a top ten team, and

378
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: I think those people are a little bit off the rocker.

379
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: But this is a this is one where Arkansas win's

380
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: by fifty.

381
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: If you can't get blown out by this version of Butler,

382
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: that's my That's that's my indicator here. That last by

383
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: thirty two to Butler. Butler is they've struggled with injuries,

384
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: but that's not a team built to like demolish squads.

385
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Just ask Troy who hung around the entire time, or

386
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Iupui hung around against Ipui. Yeah, that is more of

387
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: an indicator of what Central Arkansas doesn't buy games. And

388
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Arkansas is very athletic, still kind of figuring things out

389
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: a little bit offensively and rotations, but they're they're going

390
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: to keep the foot on the gas pedal late. So

391
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: I would definitely lean towards Arkansas.

392
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: I think so too. And Central Arkansas's game, Baylor hit

393
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: eighty four possessions. I can see this they run, yeah,

394
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: I can see it's touching eighty. Central Arkansas plays the

395
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: twenty seventh, highest tempo, tons of possessions, lots of chances

396
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: for argus On to blow them out. Pick Suie, as

397
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: they say, Moving on Pine Bluff, Arkansas Peanut Butter, Peanut

398
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: Butter Baby, Iowa State, who is favored by twenty nine

399
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: per Kimpum Wednesday. Guys, I always stay, it's ranked. We

400
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: don't really pay attention to rankings here. We could care

401
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: less about what the apeople thinks.

402
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: Not predictive, Kai, not.

403
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: Predicted at all. In fact, Jim has ever been this

404
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: big of a discrepancy between a ranked team. I always stay.

405
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: I think it's around twentieth right now, and Kim Palm

406
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 3: having them seventy third, Bart having them seventy eight, that

407
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: is a huge, huge discrepancy.

408
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of those preseason priors still baked

409
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: in there with Iowa State expectations not really in love

410
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: with them coming in, But they took Memphis to the

411
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: woodshed and honestly pretty impressive performance. It was close for

412
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: a while, and then I think the young Memphis team

413
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: just quit and that led to a wider blowout margin.

414
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure I was stated quite to that level.

415
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: But Pine Bluff is on just like a world tour.

416
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: They I guess they got. They got to stop back

417
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: in home, played Arkansas Baptist at home, and now they're

418
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: back on the road. I just don't know if I

419
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: trust Iowa State as a massive, massive favorite.

420
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: Matthew, Yeah, Jim, just to go back one more game

421
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: in Iowa State's resume. They beat Xavier by twelve. They

422
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: were ten of twenty from three. Xavier was three of

423
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: twenty one, and that game was pretty close, I believe

424
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: most like I think first, even in the second half,

425
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: it was basically a coin clip game. So those two

426
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: shooting those shooting splits should have pushed that game to

427
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: be a pretty large margin, and eventually it got there.

428
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: All that is to say, I always state it's better

429
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: than we thought, but they're not like a top twenty five,

430
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: top fifty team. I'm not ready to go that far yet.

431
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: So given that it's Pine Bluff and they lost this

432
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: team last year, so does that in the memory of

433
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: the players who are still there, and there are not

434
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: many of them, But certainly if.

435
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 3: You lost for swacked pine Bluff one.

436
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, pine Bluff one. So I'm saying you're Iowa State.

437
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: I had one by seventeen.

438
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 2: Oh who I thought they lost to? I looked at

439
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: the wrong year. Was it two years ago? No?

440
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I was State lost a by game at home last

441
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: year to Jackson State. I'm sorry, not Jackson State.

442
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: Ah, that's right, this is one of their two wins.

443
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: I'm so I'm looking at the wrong thing.

444
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: That's okay.

445
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: So so pine Bluff's angry. Kay, that's my point I'm

446
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: trying to make. I guess they're gonna come in bengeful

447
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: with a whole new producer.

448
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: Do not edit that out. I want, I want us,

449
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: our complete confusion to be in there and exposed to

450
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: those I.

451
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: Was a brand new coach and brand new players are

452
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: going to be so pissed off at Iowa STAATEDI yet, No,

453
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

454
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: Kay, Yeah, they lost the four to and in two

455
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: years ago. Hey, I look at pine Bluff hanging around

456
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: by seventeen last year and thinking thirty seems like a lot.

457
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: And I agree that. I would say it's not a

458
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: top twenty five team. So I might dabble on pine

459
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: Bluff a little bit. I'm not sure this should be

460
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: in our block category, Jim, pine.

461
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: Bluff has snuck below Chicago State in the national rankings. Though.

462
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're bad and they're trying to play like really fast.

463
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: It's an oral Roberts assistance. So bad talent and fast

464
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: tempo equal blowout recipe.

465
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Usually.

466
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: These next two are interesting. Number one. These are both

467
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: from the WHAC. By the way, Lamar at Mississippi State

468
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Kim Pom has it a minus twenty. Lamar

469
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: hung with Georgia Tech and some other mid majors, but

470
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: then they got blitzed jim by forty two against Texas Tech.

471
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 3: They were missing Jordan Adams and Case and Harrison, and

472
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: I think if those two guys are out again, you

473
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: certainly have to look at Misissippi State, who I think

474
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: can put them in a sort of crock pot like

475
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: we like to say here and win this game by

476
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: at least twenty.

477
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mississippi State did this to North Alabama and Montana

478
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: to start the year. I think they're probably gonna blow

479
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: some teams out this year. I don't know, Matt, what

480
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: do you see with this one.

481
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Lamar's resume. I'm not super impressed by it,

482
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: to be honest, love that the best player. CJ. Roberts,

483
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: former Missoo recruit I.

484
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Think right, and new Mexico State player.

485
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 2: Mexico State player. So I just love real underscoring former

486
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: Zoo players who have made their pay in other destinations.

487
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: I have no take here. I don't think Lamar's that bad.

488
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: But you're right, Jim, I think Misssippi State's a good

489
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: large favorite per se Rio Grand Valley at Texas on Friday,

490
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Texas Minas twenty five. Hey, Rio Grand Valley is not

491
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: that bad. They're for when it gets the spread.

492
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 3: But they are playing super fast Matt and we know

493
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: that leads to blouts. We say it all the time.

494
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 3: And this team is not on the same plane athletically

495
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: as Texas. They're not in the same astrological field as Texas,

496
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: and that leans towards a blowout. I do think Texas

497
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 3: wins this game by thirty. I like, I kind of

498
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: like you, Tiro Gun Valley.

499
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I'm sorry, I'm going agains the blow

500
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: out City section.

501
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Oh, these aren't all picked as blo out City. I'm

502
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: saying these.

503
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 2: Are potentially Yeah, I'm gonna go the other way here.

504
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: You're this is a team that can't defend the rim

505
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: at all. To team. That's time Coffee Coburn. I think

506
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: at thirty eight on eleven and fifteen shooting that literally

507
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: no chance to stop him inside, and it's Kofee Cobur.

508
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: It's a different animal. And Texas doesn't really have like

509
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: that bona fide post player. They're a little more periminary

510
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: right now. So I actually think it sets up for

511
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: U t Real grand Valley, who plays really really fast

512
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: under figure, to actually compete run up and now with

513
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: the Horns, they're not going to beat them, but I

514
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: think they can keep it within ten to twenty, closer

515
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: to twenty.

516
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: Maybe.

517
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: I think the problem is that Texas is playing super slow.

518
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: They're playing Chris Weird grinding past three and fifty first

519
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: and tempo that the totals have been really low for

520
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: their games, and so to get to thirty is a

521
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: little bit tough here. They were able to do it

522
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: once they destroyed Houston Baptist and the opener, but since

523
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: then it hasn't been like total obvious blowoutside than that

524
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: San Jose State game. But did you guys see Texas

525
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: has played that student's only game and they're like women's

526
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: volleyball arena.

527
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: No, it was awesome Sam.

528
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: Houston State they played. It was like two thousand students

529
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: were the only fans in attendance because it was this

530
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: tiny little cracker box and you could see like the

531
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: volleyball court on the on the I love that. It

532
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: was really really cool.

533
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: An fuck alumni, No one needs them. They don't go

534
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: to your games. By the way, there's no alumni. Your

535
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: games miszooming, your games.

536
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: Stop invoking are stupid tigers. Even though they're coming up shortly,

537
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: they're coming up in a little bit.

538
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: I was on the over that game played fifty nine possessions.

539
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: You over did hit, but that was probably a lucky

540
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: play by by guy on that one being in a

541
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: different gym. Hey, sometimes you get lucky in bedding.

542
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Guys.

543
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: All right, next section Power Games of the Week. We

544
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: got the ace see Big ten Challenge, guys, and that's

545
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 3: what we're going to start here. Florida's heading to Oklahoma

546
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 3: on Wednesday. Florida minus one per km pom Matt. Florida's

547
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: a top ten team right now. They are just incredible

548
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: five and one against the spread over nine point cover

549
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: margin on average. OHU is three and four against the spread.

550
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: I've been on them all four times they have lost.

551
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: That's a frustrating stat for old Kai, but that's also

552
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: a fact. Matt, who do you like in this game?

553
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: So top ten team per Ken Palm, they are number

554
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: ten and kem pom currently Yes, I don't think we're

555
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: gonna call Florida a top ten team. And if you,

556
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: if you'd like to do something, I'm Jim's buying and Jim,

557
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: I okay, I will say tread lightly, my dear friend.

558
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: I don't know.

559
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: I look at this resume at Kai the House State game,

560
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: House State's to shelvets off right now. I thought Florida

561
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: would handle all House state with more conviction, to be honest,

562
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: and you look outside the Florida State game, I don't.

563
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: I know.

564
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: Floria's defense has been awesome, awesome. The offense still doesn't

565
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: give me the warm and fuzzies, and that's when I

566
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: need to see a little more from especially in this

567
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: matchments Oklahoma that will defend the crap out of you.

568
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: They're covering by over nine a game.

569
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the defense for me.

570
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Even it's awesome, right, I just don't know if I

571
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: trust the offense at It's more wait to see on

572
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: the offense. That offense will be tested against OU.

573
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I just think the defense is good enough. Like they're

574
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: in the ninety nine percent is on half court points

575
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: per possession and Oklahoma's not going to run, so good

576
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: luck scoring in a half court against them. This is

577
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Florida's first road game, and they do have, you know,

578
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: some disparate pieces that have come together quickly. But maybe

579
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: there's some fraying on the on their first roadie. But man,

580
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: I like the Gators here. I just think they are

581
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: on a rocket ship right now. And yes, man, I

582
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: should tread lightly with Mike White, but I love what

583
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: he's done. The offense is very different. I think our

584
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: guy Eric Fawcett pointed out that last year they had

585
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: nine shots off of screens, nine threes off of screens.

586
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Last year, they're already throwback offense. Really, they've completely changed everything.

587
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Like I am, I'm in. He's made coaching decisions that

588
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: are conducive to this roster.

589
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: So go Gators. Yeah, I'm move towards Gators too. I'm

590
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: worried about Okahoma's offense. Man, it struggled this year so far,

591
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: and this Florida defense is nails. Like it's eleven kim

592
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: poum right now, I think it ends higher than that

593
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: when when all of a sudden done. Next game is

594
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: Michigan at You and C. Also on Wednesday, Michigan favored

595
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: by four for kimpum. Michigan Jim has taken some lumps

596
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: this year. They lost Seaton Hall obviously, they failed to

597
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: cover against UNLB, they lost Arizona, they failed Tarleton.

598
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: Mashed by Arizona.

599
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, their own four ahs last four, but un c's tragic.

600
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: They're own six against the spread this season and now

601
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: fiftieth in kim pom. Can you back you and see

602
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 3: in this game at all?

603
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: I kind of might. Actually, I don't know. Michigan's still

604
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: figuring itself out offensively. The identity is not clear. Dickinson

605
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: has not taken double digit shots like enough this year.

606
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: I think he took six shots against Tarleton and nine

607
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: and ten shots in the two Las Vegas games. They

608
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: need to be feeding him until he burps, and they

609
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: are not doing that. That's like, you know, Carolina's defense

610
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: has been awful, But I don't think Michigan has figured

611
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: out their system offensively. They looked incredible that first like

612
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes Agans Buffalo and since then it has not

613
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: clicked for them. I think this is the one where

614
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: North Carolina gets done. Might not be pretty, Matthew, but

615
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: I think the Heels get a win here.

616
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have any kin was gonna. I'll just

617
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: lead into your second one here as sort of a

618
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: broader point Michigan at North Carolina and then we're talking

619
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: about Virginia Tech at Maryland here in a second. To me,

620
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: both these matchups feel like two teams struggling. They get

621
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: like that home get right spot that feels right for

622
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: a good performance, closer to the caliber team we maybe

623
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: expected preseason. We'd all admit that both UNC and Maryland

624
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: are worse than we probably expected, but are they this bad?

625
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: And I think this is a spot where they sort

626
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: of have an uproard correction, if only for one night.

627
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm kind of Jim. I'd sort of a

628
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: yeah you trust the UNC and a pseudo home dog spot.

629
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: I was feeling you inc after that Perdue game. Honestly,

630
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: the margin was not indicative, like they really hung around

631
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: punchback against Purdue. The Tennessee game was awful, and then

632
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: not being able to get away from Ashville, who was

633
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: missing one of their best players, was just kind of

634
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: a door nail in the door for me with you

635
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: and c they had the bodies throw Dickens and they

636
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: have big bodies, but I still think Dickinson probably find

637
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: his way there. And it's really hard to trust these

638
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: U and See guards. They're selfish, thoroughly erratic. I'm going

639
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: to have a hard time Jim back Ghutarkils, but kind

640
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: of in that way. I don't know, it's really hard.

641
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: I like the ACCS team more. In the next one

642
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: that Matt alluded to, I think Virginia Tech wins at

643
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: Maryland Well.

644
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: Maryland savery by one for Kim Pomp. They are hosting

645
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech. This is also on Wednesday, And yeah, Jim,

646
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: I trust Virginia Tech far more than the Terps. Frankly,

647
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: I can't believe Virginia Tech lost the Xavier.

648
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, through some jabs at them, Xavier missing three starters,

649
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: but they did still have Scrugs, who's arguably their best player.

650
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Jack nun Gee has been a revelation for Xavier. So

651
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I think Virginia Tech is just better coached and the

652
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: depth won't be as much of a problem here or

653
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: lack thereof. So I'm going hokies here, man. I know

654
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: you sound like you're kind of buying in on a

655
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: bounce back for the Turps.

656
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: I am, and I hate them going Maryland against vo Tech.

657
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: It just feels like a fool's Errand we talked about

658
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: how vot Tech was finale against the spread coming into

659
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: the the MT and then they played Memphis and Xavier

660
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: and get exposed partially. And Virginia Tech, I mean, they

661
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: went with smarts and they went with execution. They're not

662
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: a super athletic or explosive team. I mean MutS and

663
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: I luma are. I wouldn't call them bad athletes, but

664
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: I call them average athletes. And they're more inverse, inverted

665
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: in out guys. I don't know, I word that they

666
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: might be a little bit of a cell high given

667
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: what we learned in the last two games. I like

668
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: June text guards, the Premiers are excellent, and the Terms

669
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: without Marcel a little bit different defensively.

670
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Russell was it not ten minutes ago Matt was trashing

671
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: Fats Russell and now he's like, I love a Maryland

672
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: Fats Russell team.

673
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: I love it. I didn't say I love him. It's

674
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: more of like a an unfortunate lust in this particular spot. Yeah. Probably,

675
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: I'll probably divorce immediately.

676
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: After two more. We're gonna highlight here non acc big ten.

677
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: This one's on Friday. It's Kansas against Saint John's in Elmont,

678
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: New York.

679
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: Brandon, Yeah, ubs Arena.

680
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: I think it is Branda Knus eight. It's a semi

681
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: home for Saint John's, not a true home game here, Matt.

682
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: I just can't believe Kansas lost to Dayton. They're nine

683
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: for twenty from the free through line, four for nineteen

684
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: from three. I guess that's how you blow a fifteen

685
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: point lead. But Saint John's, man, what are you doing?

686
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: Couldn't cover against Philey Dickinson. You're down at half to

687
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: Saint Francis, New York. You need overtime to be in

688
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: j T. Can they bounce back against Kansas, who might

689
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: be the second best team.

690
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: In the country.

691
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, Jim. I'm torn on this one. I

692
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: kind of want to bylow on Saint John's because I

693
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: thought they were impressed in parts against Indiana, a game

694
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: I watched from start to finish.

695
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: I think John's is going to be a oh we

696
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: care about this game kind of fight.

697
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: Yes, It's like they have two very jekylin high. They

698
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: have two versions of itself, and I think the good

699
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: version shows up here.

700
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: We thought like, oh, this team's built to destroy bad

701
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: teams because of pressure and playing fast, and it turns

702
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: out you have to care a lot to play incredible

703
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: pressure defense. And I just don't think they were engaged

704
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: in some of those games, even with Posh back against

705
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: nj T. But this one, man, I think they'll be dialed.

706
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I think we'll see a lot closer to the performance

707
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: that we did at Indiana. So I wouldn't bet this

708
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: because I'm guessing the number will be right about what

709
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: i'd make it. But I don't think Saint John's runs out,

710
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: run out or anything, just because of their poor of

711
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: late performances.

712
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: Concur Johnny's your classic play to your competition team good

713
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: or bad. So I do think they can hang around here. Finally,

714
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: Alabama Gonzaga. This one's in Seattle, a neutral game of sorts.

715
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: The Zags minus ten for Kim Pump's. On Saturday, the

716
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: Zags finally fell. Jim, they lost Duke. You were there

717
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: and then Gonzaga got dragged into a war with Tarlton,

718
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: which every team certainly has this season, whereas Alabama took

719
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: a head scratching lost Tyona. They were thirteen for twenty

720
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: five for the free throw line. That's pretty bad. Who

721
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: do you think wins this game? Ten points spread, that's

722
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: pretty big for Alabama.

723
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of think Gonzaga wins. I think I

724
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: really like the over just the slingshot effect of Gonzaga,

725
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Like we just had to play in quicksand muck against Tarleton,

726
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: and now we're going to play against Bama, who wants

727
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: to get out and run transition. I think it's just

728
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: going to be a ton of points. Like this could

729
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: be a ninety five to eighty five game, Matt. I

730
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: know the total will be high, but I don't think

731
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: it'll be high enough.

732
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: And schematically can Zaga is two point field goal potential

733
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: this year sixty six point sixty six repeating kai. They're

734
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: making two of every three shots inside of the arc.

735
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: That's because they're mostly layups. And Billis I think is

736
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: stutelely commented that this is the best cutting team in America,

737
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's a bowl take. And then

738
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: you watch that game and it was came to fruition.

739
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean, how many open backdoor cuts of that team

740
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: get high post and the way Alabama defends you, they

741
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: want to stick to you like glu on the perimeter.

742
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: I word that they get burned by a lot of those.

743
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: So I think the Zags did a lot of quick,

744
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: easy cuts Bama gets. There's in transition and if one

745
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: of these teams get hot, I think Jim's right. The

746
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: over feels like a no brainer here, even though it's

747
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: going to be a sky high total.

748
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna stamp with the over as well. I

749
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: do think it's a good play. I think the Zags

750
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: do win by double digits. They're just too good upfront.

751
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: Drew Timmy no answer.

752
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, those lines where you don't have a guy to

753
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: even pretend to throw at.

754
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: It, not at all. All right, guys talking to majors

755
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: real quick. We got the Battle of the Boulevard. Belmont

756
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: is hosting Lipscum on Thursday. Belmont minus thirteen per kimpum.

757
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: Here's why this is high, Matt. The last several contests

758
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: here Belmont by ten last year, and five the year

759
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 3: before four and two the year before that. So it's

760
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: thirteen just wild for these two teams. It is, but

761
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: I think this Belmont team is hashtag built different. I

762
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: think this is gonna be the best team that Belmont's had,

763
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: like in multiple decades, even as good, if not better

764
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: than that team that went to the tournament was at

765
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: three years ago. It was birds last season, del One

766
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: their team, thank you. I see that type of aflasism

767
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: on the wing, which is that sort of missing ingredient

768
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 3: that Belmont doesn't always have, and I've just been very

769
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: impressed with them. I think they take Lipscomb, who's been

770
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: solid to the woodshed man.

771
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: I think Lipscomb hangs around. They're too well coached, Alexander

772
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: has the lipscumb history. It's just kind of like such

773
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: a familiar thing that I have a hard time seeing

774
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: it be a blowout. And Belmont they've they've been good,

775
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: but not great. Like I don't like that loss to

776
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Dayton in the in the title game, Basically I must

777
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: win if you want to have any at large hope,

778
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: and they blew that one. So I think Lipscomb hangs around.

779
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pick them out right, but if

780
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: it's thirteen, it's a little high for me. Yeah, it's

781
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: like the rivalry game.

782
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: It means something. Guys no home, no home, no Number

783
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: one in the country lipscom effective field goal percentage. That's

784
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: thanks a lot to shooting over fifty percent from three

785
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: and also having a guy named Asanasgule on your team.

786
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: Those two factors help. I don't know they're going to

787
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: shoot fifty all year, but certainly enough people thirteen.

788
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: They have two guys on high volume shooting sixty three

789
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: percent above.

790
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 3: From deep wild, very very well.

791
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: We've been nickname for Abdala Asoduladula.

792
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, I don't think so.

793
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: It should work on that anyone, because then because we don't,

794
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: I'll say his name wrong again like I just did.

795
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: So.

796
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys procuring one.

797
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: Our next man major game is another rivalry. It's Mexico

798
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: State at UTEP Round two. These two teams face each

799
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: other before this one's on Friday. Jim new Mexico State

800
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: minus one per Kim Pom at UTEP. Game one didn't

801
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: go so well.

802
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: For the minors, No, and then they I think they

803
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: were missing boom and no One. I'll have to double

804
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: check that. But and Matt noted this it's a weird

805
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: schedule spot for New Mexico State. They are going rivalry

806
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: game New Mexico, Rivalry Game, UTAP Rivalry Game New Mexico.

807
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: It's hard to anticipate them being mega dialed for all

808
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: of them, especially up to as they've already beaten UTEP once.

809
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: There's the revenge factor. I probably lean towards the miners here,

810
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: very well coached team this year with mister Joe Golding.

811
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're looking at so this game will

812
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: be on Friday on Tuesdays when New Mexico State would

813
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: have played New Mexico. I would say New Mexico State

814
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: laid an egg in that one. You get like of

815
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: a bounce back boost here. If New Mexico State blew

816
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: the doors off New Mexico, maybe it leads to a

817
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: flatter spot. I don't know. I'm just trying to about

818
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: the situational elements here, but they like the New Mexico

819
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: and Mexico State UTAP tripod thing is an interesting like

820
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: rivalry grouping, and I always like tracking those and you

821
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: get some weird results here. I think high variance is

822
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: usually in play. Maybe a money line sprinkle on the

823
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: Lobos Kai when Sorry, I don't have to about that

824
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: game here, but just when those two teams when they

825
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: play in Mexico State UTAP, I would maybe have that

826
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: circled on my list.

827
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Game one, you tep five for nineteen from three

828
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: fourteen to twenty two from the free throw line, but

829
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: you tep four sixteen turnovers. I think there's enough that

830
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: they can win this game, especially at home, especially in

831
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: a rivalry game. I do lean toward dudes. I think

832
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 3: they punch back here, all right. Finally, Charleston at Furman.

833
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: A little bit of a weird one here. Not a

834
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: rivalry at all, but two mid major teams we are

835
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: very high on this season. Kim Pom has it minus eleven.

836
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 3: Matt Furman's lost and Navy really upset me, especially because

837
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: Navy just shouldn't be good, but they just are every

838
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 3: single year. They beat Louisville, they lost the Bell Mount

839
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: in overtimes. They're a tough team. Charleston's coming off a

840
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: very solid win against Chattanooga. They're competitive against U and Seed.

841
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 3: They got the doors balling off them against Oklahoma State.

842
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: They can stay with in double digits here against Furman.

843
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Charleston has a chance to compete, and

844
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: I hate going against my guy Bob Richie at Furman,

845
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: But but Charletons has that dynamic where they have a

846
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: legit low post score up front and John Meeks and

847
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: some guys who can do some damage inside, and they

848
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: have the versatility and speed to keep pace with Hermund

849
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: the perimeter and guard all the perimeter action that they have.

850
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: And there's nothing in Charleston's resume gym that says what

851
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: they've done so far as fraudulent. So I think they

852
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: are for real and continue to be undervalued until farther.

853
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Notice, Yeah, getting blown out by thirty at Oklahoma states

854
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: the big flaw in their ledger, and honestly, at this point,

855
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: all that's doing is serving to keep them depressed in value,

856
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: which is great for me. Like the one game they lost,

857
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to lose by one hundred, so yes, it

858
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: skews everything else after that.

859
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 2: And they were competitive for like half that game. It's

860
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: be a close game and a half time too, so

861
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: it wasn't like they were completely outclassed there either.

862
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeap second half just completely fell off the map. But yeah,

863
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: I think they can compete here as well. You said

864
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: you hate to go against Bob Ritchie, but you're backing

865
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: Pat Kelsey, who is I think also one of the

866
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: best mid major coaches in the country. That tempo is crazy,

867
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to get used to. I would certainly go,

868
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: especially if it's double digits. I don't think it will

869
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: be because Charleston usually takes money in the market, but

870
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I would still lean towards Charleston all the way down

871
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: to like a touchdown.

872
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 3: They'd be really good at taking away the three this year,

873
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: which is key against Furman. So I also leaned towards

874
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: the Cougar's fastest team in the country on Pat Kelsey.

875
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all right, And now some not fun games guys,

876
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: our next section here, cly your eyes out. Game of

877
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: the week. We have two in particular we're going to

878
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: highlight here. Don't watch these games unless you get money

879
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: on them. We always do. We're degenerates, so we are

880
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: going to watch these and bleed rballs. Robert Morris at

881
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: Green Bay, Jim Robert Morris just sucks. I mean they

882
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: just suck. And Michael Green was out last game they

883
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: sucked even more and Green Bay plays in a will Ryan,

884
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: So it's not gonna be fun.

885
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: To watch. What do you think I thought Robert Morris

886
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: quit at Davidson. I was mega unimpressed with them in

887
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: the second half. And I know they were down the

888
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: starter Michael Green, key guy, but it was bad. It

889
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: was coming into the year. It was like, Okay, I

890
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: can see these pieces working together as a lot of

891
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: new transfers coming in. The puzzle has not come together.

892
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: It is still a disjointed mess. And yeah, now they're

893
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: playing a slow down, half court, grinded out on athletic team.

894
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a puke fest. Matthew.

895
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 3: I agree.

896
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 2: I won't be watching nothing else that I like. Andy Toola.

897
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: I feel bad for him, That's all I said.

898
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: And let's talk about Jim and my alma mater, Miszoo,

899
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 3: and they certainly belong in the Clyr eyes out category

900
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: against any team they play. They're playing Liberty, They're traveling

901
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 3: to Liberty.

902
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

903
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: Miszoo can't shoot, Matt and now they're going against the

904
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: pack line defense. Who's going to force them to shoot jumpers.

905
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: They're under twenty eight percent from three this year, and

906
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: that's not an aberration. I think that's who they are.

907
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know why you're leading in this game,

908
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 3: but it's probably gonna be played around the fifties.

909
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: It is, man, I don't I'm definitely back in Miszoo.

910
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: It's do I want to back Liberty?

911
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 1: Jim where you stand here, I'm almost definitely backing Liberty,

912
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: and I will likely also be on the under. I

913
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: just think Missoo against a good team is bad bad news.

914
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: Missoo against a well coached team is bad bad news.

915
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: Miszoo on the road something we haven't seen, and I

916
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: think it will be pretty bad news. So it's all

917
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: this confluence of factors that Missoo is not a good

918
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: basketball team and it's going to very much show up

919
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: in this one. As Kai mentioned, probably plays in the fifties.

920
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: I think Liberty wins like sixty to forty seven or something.

921
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Missoo's might be the worst shooting team

922
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: in the country. I'm so frustrated at my Tigers are

923
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: Tiger's chim and.

924
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: We knew it coming in, Like he just recruited no

925
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: shooting like Boogie Coleman can do it a little bit,

926
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: but man, there was no effort to bring in shooting

927
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: at all.

928
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 3: Guys, we're gonna finish off the podcast, but the spotlight

929
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: spotlight on conference games. I have November conference games. We're

930
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: not going to run through all these in detail, maybe

931
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: just some quick leans here. So the big time we

932
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: talked about earlier through Matt's lovely Dogs of the Week section,

933
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: I was headed to Purdue Rutgers Illinois. Quickly touch on

934
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: acc play here, Jim Syracuse going to Florida State on Saturday.

935
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm kind of leaning towards Florida State just blind here.

936
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't really know what the number is going to

937
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: be though.

938
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, this Florida State team can actually shoot a little bit.

939
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: They're bad taking care of the ball, but Syracuse isn't

940
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: like super long on the perimeter or disruptive. They don't

941
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: have the top of the zone guards. They give you

942
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: a lot of problems. So as long as Florida State

943
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: can figure out how to pass through the zone, go

944
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: in and out, I think they get some good shots

945
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: and could be in decent shape there.

946
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: Matt.

947
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised, maybe I'm not your boy. Coach k

948
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: does not have to play an early season conference game.

949
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: I wonder how that happened. I wonder if you made

950
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: any sort of special quest of the league offense.

951
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 2: No, I'm sure they just bowed down at their willingness, Jim,

952
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: because everyone there's a line around the corner to do

953
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: lovely sign off things for coach k Kai on the

954
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 2: list here. I want to get to the MAC Conference,

955
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 2: please kicking off? Could I get to the microcosm of

956
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: a general trend I'm looking to follow this year. I

957
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: was thinking that first or early conference games, like in

958
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 2: November December would be good under bets, because typically conference

959
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: games tighten up games a little more slower and more

960
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: drag out type of rock fights, and it's sort of

961
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: a disjointed part of the schedule where there actually could

962
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: be value on the under But the data says no, no, no, yeah.

963
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: And you know what else says no is my one

964
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: game anecdotal Stanford at Colorado went way over.

965
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: So there you go, So don't buy end of that.

966
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: I feel like that'll be a narrative you might hear

967
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 2: or you might want to look into. I'm just trying

968
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: to put up a caution sign. Oh but back to

969
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: Iona marit could be a slow, drag out affair. I

970
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: think I actually might have a little faster than with that.

971
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: They said this is the exception, but it's John Donne

972
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: and John Dunn has no interest in speaking up Repetino

973
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: with a roster that's definitely less talented. I worry I

974
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: could be upsiler here, and I love Iona and I

975
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: don't think Maris is that good. But the MAC is

976
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 2: a weird, fun box of crazy shit that happens sometimes,

977
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: and the games can get ugly and very like junior

978
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: varsity four PM, what the Hell's happening type of feel

979
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: to them. So that's my concern for for Sticky Repatino

980
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 2: on the guys going to two mars there.

981
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: The MAC has always been a very difficult conference to bet.

982
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 3: Within conference play, those teams are basically even I feel

983
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: like you should be giving zero home to these teams. Yeah,

984
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 3: that's just kind of my like what I've somewhat learned

985
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 3: over the years.

986
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you watch those games on TV, it's like

987
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: there's two people in the stands like everything. Yeah, it's

988
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of pretty.

989
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: Close to each other. Jim, the Pack twelve starts, the

990
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: Zuri Valley starts, the Horizon, the Big Sky, any games

991
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 3: in particular you're you're looking at from the conference slate here.

992
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by the horizon, and it's mostly because I

993
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: don't know who the hell is good in that conference.

994
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: Right State thought they were going to come in and

995
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: be a really solid favorite to win that league, and

996
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: they've been bad, pretty much outright bad so far this year.

997
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: We've got a game tipping early in that league, Northern

998
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: Kentucky at Cleveland State. Northern Kentucky definitely on fraud alert.

999
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland State made the tournament last year, but has not

1000
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: been like the leap that you'd expect from a team

1001
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: that brings back everybody. It's basically just been they are

1002
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: who they are. So I'm curious with those early horizon

1003
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: matchups if anybody emerges as like an emphatic two to

1004
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: zero head into the new year with a lead atop

1005
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: the standings, because I think there's gonna be a lot

1006
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: of one in one coin flips in that conference.

1007
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: I feel like Cleveland State wins the league and like

1008
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: a torterise and the hair scenario where you just kind

1009
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: of keep creeping along and they're twelve and four and

1010
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 2: everyone else just kind of falls below the pace and

1011
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: a very not emphatic fashion. Guy.

1012
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah that sounds right, man.

1013
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. One thing we always look for it started conference play,

1014
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: but this is usually in January, is like the reset

1015
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: button for teams that have been bad and non conference play.

1016
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: But I think this is still in the mix of

1017
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: this November December mess where it's not the same kind

1018
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: of reset button. So I don't think like you should

1019
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: revert to preseason expectations on a team at this point.

1020
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: That would be my Yeah, another caution, agree, there's just

1021
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 3: a renewed sense of purpose for these teams and struggle

1022
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 3: right in the non cond.

1023
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Once it's like January. But yeah, right now it doesn't

1024
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: feel the same.

1025
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a faux it's a faux conference feeling. Jim

1026
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: in November, I don't like it, and slash December. We

1027
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 3: are recording this November thirty, so all these games are December.

1028
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: I think that's it.

1029
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 3: Guys, we're gonna We're gonna end it right there.

1030
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: All right, wrap it up? Can I fine?

1031
