Speaker 1: that and then go into the contest free bracket contest
Speaker 1: here Betting Pros dot backslash March, Gus, the bracket is out.
Speaker 1: We have what we need, and I think what we
Speaker 1: have partner overall, is a pretty balanced tournament.
Speaker 3: When you say, I definitely would agree. People are gonna
Speaker 3: quibble and argue over some of the numbers that stand
Speaker 3: next to some of the teams, but I think as
Speaker 3: far as the inclusion of the teams in this particular
Speaker 3: bracket twenty twenty two edition. I think we're off to
Speaker 3: a pretty good start and I can't wait to pick
Speaker 3: some games.
Speaker 1: So this is what we're gonna do, folks. We will
Speaker 1: go through each of the four regions and talk about
Speaker 1: the games and the spreads in each one of those
Speaker 1: regions and give our thoughts. We'll go over the playing
Speaker 1: games for those two regions. We'll give a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Gus will give his, I'll give mine, and then we
Speaker 1: will actually predict the eight teams that we think will
Speaker 1: make the round of thirty two. So maybe somebody doesn't cover,
Speaker 1: but they do advance. That's what we'll do for each
Speaker 1: of the four regions. Break it down, let's see how
Speaker 1: we do. We will start in the West region. Gus
Speaker 1: and I have been huge fans of this za. Gonzaga
Speaker 1: Bulldogs the absolute number one seed, and looking now at
Speaker 1: the spreads in this region. We have the play and game,
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a minute, Notre Dame minus
Speaker 1: one versus Rutgers. That's a very important game. Notre Dame
Speaker 1: opened minus a half point. We have Gonzaga minus twenty
Speaker 1: three and a half versus Georgia State that went down
Speaker 1: a little bit from the opening. Memphis minus two and
Speaker 1: a half Verst Boises take us. I'm very interested in
Speaker 1: that game open minus one and a half. People are
Speaker 1: betting Memphis Connecticut minus six and a half. First, New
Speaker 1: Mexico State open at minus seven, Arkansas open minus six
Speaker 1: and a half. Vermont has now dropped. It's Arkansas minus
Speaker 1: five against Vermont, Texas Tech minus fifteen and a half
Speaker 1: versus Montana, same as the open Michigan State minus two
Speaker 1: versus Davidson that's also a critical one. And Duke minus
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half versus cal State Fullerton opened at
Speaker 1: minus seventeen, and predictably people have bet on Duke. So, partner,
Speaker 1: why did you kick us off here? Let's start with
Speaker 1: the play and game pick. Talk to me about Notre
Speaker 1: Dame minus one right now verse Rutgers.
Speaker 3: I mean, if we have this game as almost to
Speaker 3: pick them on a neutral court, my initial leaning is
Speaker 3: why not go Rutgers. Notre Dame might think they have
Speaker 3: the best player on the floor in Blake Wesley, but
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this is gonna be a final possession
Speaker 3: type game, and we've seen Rutgers win these final possession
Speaker 3: type games. So if you're gonna go with a pick
Speaker 3: them game on a neutral court. Why wouldn't you lean
Speaker 3: towards Geo Baker and Ron Harper Junior, who's already done
Speaker 3: it twice this year. I think a late hit from
Speaker 3: one of those Rutgers scarlet Knights are you advances and
Speaker 3: makes you some money.
Speaker 1: I have looked at this game since these brackets have
Speaker 1: come out, one of the toughest ones partner that I've had.
Speaker 1: My heart says Rutgers. I want Rutgers Jersey Pride. We're
Speaker 1: rooting for it. My head says Notre Dame. Here's my rationale.
Speaker 1: I looked at the metrics of this matchup, and when
Speaker 1: I've been in these situations and I've had a heart
Speaker 1: versus head pick and the metrics have been the the
Speaker 1: way I've almost always seen the win. With the metrics,
Speaker 1: I don't think Rutgers is going to be able to
Speaker 1: stop them from three. Rutgers has allowed opponents to shoot
Speaker 1: thirty four percent from beyond the arc, and you know
Speaker 1: Notre Dame can shoot it thirty seven point seven percent
Speaker 1: overall this year, top twenty in the country, thirty nine
Speaker 1: point six in the ACC. Notre Dame doesn't force a
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers. I understand that Rutgers does, but Notre
Speaker 1: Dame doesn't turn the ball over on offense either. This
Speaker 1: is a tough one. Rutgers has had some big wins,
Speaker 1: but Notre Dame be Kentucky and Rutgers has had some
Speaker 1: bad losses. I am hoping I'm wrong, Gus, but I
Speaker 1: am taking Notre Dame on this game, and gosh, I
Speaker 1: felt a lot about it.
Speaker 3: You could analyze this a couple of different ways and
Speaker 3: come up with different results each different time, especially with
Speaker 3: this line being as skinny as it is. I seriously
Speaker 3: think it will be a final possession type game, and
Speaker 3: I think the score will be down, So you might
Speaker 3: want to take a peek at the under there if
Speaker 3: that's something that you take a peek at. But I'm
Speaker 3: gonna still lean Ruggers.
Speaker 1: All right, and let's go through a partner and get
Speaker 1: all your feelings on these games. I will start Gonzaga
Speaker 1: minus twenty three and a half versus Georgia State and
Speaker 1: open Gonzaga minus twenty five and a half. Where you
Speaker 1: going here?
Speaker 3: All right? Pretty easy? Here, Gonzaga is going to try
Speaker 3: to like rest their guys quote unquote, and sure the
Speaker 3: other guys will excel with opportunity. Now, if we take
Speaker 3: a closer look at this, both teams were very average
Speaker 3: against the spread, Zags fifteen and twelve, Georgia State only
Speaker 3: thirteen and twelve. I think Gonzaga has too much size,
Speaker 3: and if you lean one way or the other, I
Speaker 3: think I would lean with Gonzaga covering and Georgia State
Speaker 3: falling short in the second half.
Speaker 1: Next up, Memphis minus two and a half. Money is
Speaker 1: coming in on the Tigers, so it's up to two
Speaker 1: and a half versus Boise State open one and a half. Tigers, Broncos,
Speaker 1: where are you going?
Speaker 3: Since Thanksgiving? Boise has lost three games versus Wyoming seventy
Speaker 3: two to sixty five and then to Colorado State. You
Speaker 3: were Rams twice seventy seven, seventy four, seventy one, sixty nine.
Speaker 3: You gotta score seventy to beat Boise. Memphis has scored
Speaker 3: seventy in eleven of its last fourteen games, twelve of
Speaker 3: those being wins. The computers say almost pick them. I
Speaker 3: love the Dagenhart and Williams matchup, but I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: Memphis has it continued to roll their direction Sansamani Bates
Speaker 3: has stopped playing, and I like that they can put
Speaker 3: up enough points against that stout Boise State defense. Give
Speaker 3: me Memphis.
Speaker 1: Here, Connectiquette minus six and a half, it's dropped a
Speaker 1: little bit in New Mexico State. We love New Mexico State,
Speaker 1: but do you like him here only getting six and
Speaker 1: a half against Yukon.
Speaker 3: You said it exactly right. Don't like them here? Love
Speaker 3: them overall? Really bad matchup. Yukon has beat both Auburn
Speaker 3: and Nova and they have zero garbage losses. If you
Speaker 3: take a look. Now, New Mexico State did beat Davidson
Speaker 3: and they house Teddy Allen and Jabari Rice, one of
Speaker 3: the most underrated backcourts in the country. I'm gonna trust
Speaker 3: Yukon's grit and size here, and I really like you
Speaker 3: on in the spot.
Speaker 1: This has been a push button topic here. We have
Speaker 1: Arkansaw minus six. It's down to minus five now Arkansas
Speaker 1: minus five versus Vermont. Very interesting game, Gus, what do
Speaker 1: you say now?
Speaker 3: The head and the heart are going to be in
Speaker 3: the same place here and also will include the mind
Speaker 3: as well. If we take a look at some of
Speaker 3: the metrics and maybe some of the metrics that might
Speaker 3: be off the radar. Like one of our good friends,
Speaker 3: Evan Miakawa at evan mia on Twitter, he has a
Speaker 3: ranking of which lineups have been the most productive in
Speaker 3: college basketball this season. Guess who has a top five
Speaker 3: lineup in the nation. Yeah, that's right, Vermont. They have
Speaker 3: everybody healthy. I love Vermont in the spot, don't like them.
Speaker 3: Love Vermont in the spot. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 3: maybe even an outright win. And I think that people
Speaker 3: might be sleeping on the Catamounts a bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, So of course we don't know yet. Against Rutgers,
Speaker 1: not Dame, we talked about that. Next up, Texas Tech
Speaker 1: minus fifteen and a half. This number has held firm.
Speaker 1: Against Montana State, we have basketball NARCOLEPSI. We love Montana State.
Speaker 1: What do you think here?
Speaker 3: Well, Montana State has an interesting influx from Europe. They
Speaker 3: have three players from England on their team and all
Speaker 3: of them are impactful. As much as that's charming and
Speaker 3: that we love that Montana State is the representative out West.
Speaker 3: They had to go through the traditional powerhouse in the GRIZ,
Speaker 3: Texas Tech. They're going to suffocate Montana State with their personnel,
Speaker 3: size and versatility. Both teams are solid against the spread.
Speaker 3: Montana State was seventeen and fourteen and Texas Tech was
Speaker 3: twenty and thirteen. I'm gonna lean Tech here and let
Speaker 3: go of all those points. I think they're going to
Speaker 3: cover here.
Speaker 1: This next one is interesting, Michigan State minus two against
Speaker 1: David's and Michigan State the seven David's in the ten.
Speaker 1: This game is not until nine forty on Friday, which
Speaker 1: of course is critical with point guard Tyson Walker's status
Speaker 1: unknown for the Spartans. Where do you go here?
Speaker 3: Davidson and Michigan State. This might be the best coaching
Speaker 3: matchup within the first round. I really think that the
Speaker 3: computers are are kind of tied up here, so if
Speaker 3: we're in a pick'em situation, I like getting a couple
Speaker 3: of points with Davidson here. And Plus this might be
Speaker 3: the Foster lawyer like wants to stick it to his
Speaker 3: old team game. Good one, Yes, so I'm gonna lean
Speaker 3: the offensive efficiency of coach McKillop.
Speaker 1: Last one. The Dukies two seed. Don't know why they
Speaker 1: were two seed over Tennessee, but we can get out
Speaker 1: another podcast. Dukies minus eighteen and a half First cal
Speaker 1: State Fullerton Open Duke minus seventeen.
Speaker 3: Understand why that went that way. Of course, Duke is
Speaker 3: going to abtract a ton of attention, whether it be
Speaker 3: TV viewers or money sending their direction. There's so much
Speaker 3: talent there with Duke, and they, of all the teams,
Speaker 3: really needed a reset, maybe as much as Texas does
Speaker 3: in this particular tournament. And I think both teams were,
Speaker 3: you know, slightly average against the spread. Cal State Fulusen
Speaker 3: was a sixteen and twelve. Duke was seventeen and fifteen.
Speaker 3: So there's nothing to stand out there. I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: Duke drop some numbers here. I think they played with
Speaker 3: a little bit of freedom now that they don't have
Speaker 3: an ACC title to contend for, and they don't have
Speaker 3: the retirement game or Coach K's last game at Cameron Indoor.
Speaker 3: I think they go ahead and just win this thing
Speaker 3: by twenty.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go, folks, Now I'll run it back.
Speaker 1: We talked about the playing game. I'm going Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: Next up, Gonzaga gus I found that all the one
Speaker 1: seeds I felt were way too low, way too low
Speaker 1: with the point spreads. Gonzaga played Fairley Dickinson as a
Speaker 1: one in twenty nineteen. They beat him eighty seven forty nine.
Speaker 1: Gonzaga played Norfolk State last year as a one ninety
Speaker 1: eight to fifty five. I get Georgia State. I understand
Speaker 1: that I don't know why I'm not laying twenty five,
Speaker 1: So twenty four and a half, twenty five, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: I will lay it there with the Zags. I think
Speaker 1: they bowl ahead in the second half. Boise State first, Memphis.
Speaker 1: I'm calling it right now. This is one of the
Speaker 1: picks I am the most sure of. I am absolutely
Speaker 1: taking Boise State. There is recency bias here with the Tigers.
Speaker 1: I know that they've lost baits and now they're playing
Speaker 1: better and they're hot, and they beat CUCF, SMU lost
Speaker 1: to Houston. Boise State is disciplined. Boise State rebounds. They're
Speaker 1: gonna totally feed off the fact that Memphis is three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty second in the nation in turnover rate.
Speaker 1: Love Boise in this game. It may be my favorite
Speaker 1: pick of the entire first round. I know the money's
Speaker 1: going to Memphis. I know people like Memphis. They see
Speaker 1: them dunky, they see them doing all these things. Folks.
Speaker 1: Boise State won a really good Mountain West this year
Speaker 1: a really good Mount West and they did it in
Speaker 1: grand fashion. They beat Nevada, Wyoming, San Diego State. I
Speaker 1: will take that over Memphis. I am taking Boise State excellent.
Speaker 1: Next up. I think you hit it on ahead with Connecticut.
Speaker 1: I find that it's very hard to upset teams in
Speaker 1: the first round that have quality bigs. I think Snogo
Speaker 1: is a quality big for Yukon. I think just like
Speaker 1: the old Tyler Hansboro, you rarely saw Roy Williams teams
Speaker 1: with the tar Heels Gus lose in the early round
Speaker 1: because they had Tyler Hansburro. And this is the situation.
Speaker 1: I don't see New Mexico State doing this. I saw
Speaker 1: in New Mexico State earlier this year they were very impressive,
Speaker 1: and there, of course they're extremely well coached. I saw
Speaker 1: in New Mexico State earlier this year against Davidson and
Speaker 1: Utah State early on they ended up beating the Davidson
Speaker 1: team seventy five sixty four, and then struggled mightily with
Speaker 1: the turnovers and the craziness against Utah State bean ate
Speaker 1: them up inside. I think a similar situation happens here.
Speaker 1: I'm going to lay the points with yukon Arkansas Vermont.
Speaker 1: I have mentioned this to you privately. Vermont is due
Speaker 1: for another big win. We were there together watching sarantineing
Speaker 1: Op and Wrath with a big win over Sarah Cues.
Speaker 1: One was that two thousand and three they are due.
Speaker 1: Everyone is picking Arkansas in this game, and the line
Speaker 1: is going down. The line is actually going the other direction.
Speaker 1: So the casinos are saying, yeah, we know you're all
Speaker 1: betting Arkansas, and here's more motivation to do so. I
Speaker 1: love Vermont. Vermont hasn't just been winning GUS. They've been
Speaker 1: covering their games at the end of the year. John
Speaker 1: Becker smashing people, beating them comfortably. John Beckert does a
Speaker 1: great job. I know there's no Anthony Lamb, but this
Speaker 1: team is solid. I will take Vermont here with the
Speaker 1: points as well. On the bottom Texas Tech Montana State
Speaker 1: Defense travels. Texas Tech is just gonna lock down Montana State.
Speaker 1: They haven't seen anyone like that this year. I will
Speaker 1: lay those points there with Texas Tech. Davidson versus Michigan State.
Speaker 1: Great call with the Forest Forster Lawyer. Revenge Game. I
Speaker 1: love revenge game narratives. You know that Davidson should have
Speaker 1: beaten Richmond. They played really well. Richmond just had a
Speaker 1: magic ride there at the end. They can shoot the
Speaker 1: three rebound inside. Well coached. Michigan State has not put
Speaker 1: it together all year. It's just been a very up
Speaker 1: and down year. They struggle to get consistent offense. I
Speaker 1: know they're gonna bully Davidson, but Davidson has seen games
Speaker 1: like this before throughout the year. They're not gonna be
Speaker 1: shocked playing Michigan State. When they've had games this year
Speaker 1: against these top teams. They go in and they go
Speaker 1: on the road and win at VCU sixty three to
Speaker 1: sixty one. They know what it's like to go up
Speaker 1: against one of these teams. Love Davidson to win it
Speaker 1: out right. I'll take the two and Duke versus cal
Speaker 1: State Fullerton, sure, I mean with the all, with the
Speaker 1: exception of the Lehigh game Gusts, I'm gonna take Duke
Speaker 1: here and lay the points. I don't think the cal
Speaker 1: State Fulton can hang with them, but I don't like
Speaker 1: Duke that far. But I do like them in the
Speaker 1: first round.
Speaker 3: I don't think that Cal State Fullerson has a CJ.
Speaker 3: McCollum on their roster, so I think We're okay. CJ.
Speaker 1: McCom as a walking through that door. So partner, really
Speaker 1: quick run it down for me. I'll give the game.
Speaker 1: You tell me who's winning it. Forget the spread. Gonzaga,
Speaker 1: Georgia State, Zachs, Boise State, Memphis, I like Memphis, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: New Mexico State, Go Huskies, Arkansas, Vermont.
Speaker 3: I mean we have to go Catamounts, Go Catamounts. This
Speaker 3: is gonna be the game.
Speaker 1: Uckers, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Texas Tech, Montana State, Texas Tech,
Speaker 1: Michigan State, Davidson, Davidson, please and Duke cal State Fullerton, Duke.
Speaker 1: I will go Zags, Boise State, Yukon, Vermont, Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Davidson and Duke.
Speaker 3: Let us.
Speaker 1: Let's move it to the other side here to the
Speaker 1: South region. Right across going down these games, we have
Speaker 1: Right State versus Bryant, which is a great game. I love,
Speaker 1: by the way, Wright State minus three out of the
Speaker 1: horizon versus Bryant open Right State minus two. We have
Speaker 1: Seat and Hall minus one versus TCU same line, Houston
Speaker 1: minus eight and a half versus UAB That is interesting.
Speaker 1: Illinois minus seven and a half versus Chatta Chattanooga opened
Speaker 1: eight and a half. Money coming in on Chattanooga. Michigan
Speaker 1: minus two and a half versus Colorado State. We can
Speaker 1: spend the whole pot on that game. Tennessee minus seven
Speaker 1: dat over Longwood, Ohio State minus a half point in
Speaker 1: lower of the Chicago guess this has gone back and forth,
Speaker 1: so depending on the way the money is loyal in
Speaker 1: Chicago has been a favorite. Now they're under dog Villanova
Speaker 1: minus fifteen and a half versus Delaware, So here we go.
Speaker 3: Talk to me all right, So number one, let's talk
Speaker 3: Wright State Bryant. You're gonna have three awesome players in
Speaker 3: this game, with Peter Kiss Charles Pride, who went off
Speaker 3: for over forty points this season already Peter Kiss's teammate,
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna have Tanner Holden on the other side,
Speaker 3: who's a threat for a triple double any single time.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Bryant here. And this is why
Speaker 3: they've won sixteen out of their last seventeen games. There
Speaker 3: has to be something said for the culture, for the expectation,
Speaker 3: and for like the swag and the chip on the
Speaker 3: shoulder that Bryant plays with. So I'm gonna roll with
Speaker 3: Bryant here. If I can grab a couple points, absolutely,
Speaker 3: let's do it.
Speaker 1: Seaton Hall Big East minus one versus TCU. TCU is
Speaker 1: a very nebulous team. Not a lot of people realize
Speaker 1: how good a job Jamie Dixon has done that in there.
Speaker 1: What do you think here with the Pirates and the
Speaker 1: horn Frogs.
Speaker 3: Well, one of the things that Seaton Hall has over
Speaker 3: many of its opponents is a positional length and size
Speaker 3: all over the floor. TCU can kind of match that.
Speaker 3: They have positional size kind of all over the floor
Speaker 3: as well, even at the guard position. Miles is fantastic.
Speaker 3: So I think we're gonna have a little grinded out,
Speaker 3: little rock fight here, But I'm gonna take the Hall here.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna think that they might have an impact player
Speaker 3: that has an impact game, whether it be Kale, whether
Speaker 3: it be Rodin. I think one of those guys is
Speaker 3: gonna go for twenty plus and that's gonna be the
Speaker 3: difference here. The computers are gonna give us the numbers
Speaker 3: that look pretty similar, but I think Seaton Hall might
Speaker 3: have more talent, And on a neutral court, let's take
Speaker 3: the further talent.
Speaker 1: This is a fascinating game. Houston Cougars versus UAB. People
Speaker 1: don't like Houston, they say they haven't played anyone. People
Speaker 1: don't like UABAE, they haven't played anyone outside of conference.
Speaker 1: Where do you go here? Houston minus eight and a
Speaker 1: half first, the Blazers.
Speaker 3: Absolute Blazers. Here's the reason why. When you take a
Speaker 3: really close look at what Houston has had issues with
Speaker 3: this season, go directly back to the games against SMU.
Speaker 3: SMU has one of the best point guards in the
Speaker 3: nation and Kendrick Davis, and he gave them tons of
Speaker 3: trouble and even got a win against Houston this past season.
Speaker 3: Inside the AAC, go ahead and plug in Jelly Walker
Speaker 3: for Kendrick Davis, plug in uab's defensive grit, plug in
Speaker 3: Trade Jamison on the inside, who's going to be an
Speaker 3: absolute force and a wreck around the rim. And then
Speaker 3: you have Buffin, who's a high major transfer. He's not
Speaker 3: going to be scared of anything Houston is going to
Speaker 3: throw with them. I love UABA here, I even love
Speaker 3: UAB just straight.
Speaker 1: Up ELLINOI minus seven and a half versus Chattanooga. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of this. Fighting a line
Speaker 1: nine team Gus. Every time I watch them, they disappoint
Speaker 1: where you're going here seven and a half point spread
Speaker 1: with Chada.
Speaker 3: I think we got to lean Shada. And the reason
Speaker 3: we have to lean Shatta is just be because of
Speaker 3: the schizophrenic nature of Illinois. I don't know what kind
Speaker 3: of andre Cabello we're gonna get. If we're gonna get
Speaker 3: like the mad hatter andre Cabello that makes unbelievably odd decisions,
Speaker 3: or if we're gonna get like the magician with the ball.
Speaker 3: Another thing to pay attention to here about Chattanooga is
Speaker 3: they own enough size at every position, and they actually
Speaker 3: have somebody that can match up against Kofe Coburn with
Speaker 3: Desuza six', nine two point fifty Former kansas. Transfer so
Speaker 3: it's not Like Kofe coburn is just gonna come in
Speaker 3: and dunk on. People he's gonna have to dunk on
Speaker 3: somebody else that's a big time player, inside and we
Speaker 3: know that Usually. Illinois then there in their veteran guards
Speaker 3: might have a little pull. HERE i don't. KNOW i
Speaker 3: Think chattanooga is really live, here SO i love getting
Speaker 3: some points.
Speaker 1: Here i'm offended by this Line michigan as the eleven
Speaker 1: seed minus two and a half Verst Colorado. State come, On,
Speaker 1: gus talk to.
Speaker 3: ME i, mean you could definitely expand on this, one
Speaker 3: But i'm gonna take rams as. Well. Yeah the one
Speaker 3: thing to find out for to look out for is
Speaker 3: The David roddy foul trouble, situation whether he's gonna Guard
Speaker 3: Hunter dickinson or Another michigan player that might cause him
Speaker 3: to be exposed or isolated out on the. Wing as
Speaker 3: long as he stays out of foul, Trouble i'm going
Speaker 3: to argue that he's the best player on the. Floor
Speaker 3: so both teams are awful against the. Spread so if
Speaker 3: we can get a couple points, here, Yeah i'm in on.
Speaker 1: That tennessee minus seventeen Versus longwood opened, Eighteen longwood's getting
Speaker 1: some points. Here the, mean nobody in the country would
Speaker 1: be hotter except For arizona maybe Than tennessee entering. This
Speaker 1: where do you go?
Speaker 3: Here i'm Going. Tennessee not sure That longwood has seen
Speaker 3: a defensive team Like, tennessee AND i think their lead
Speaker 3: Guard Justin hill will definitely have issues with all of
Speaker 3: the defenders that he's going to take a look. At
Speaker 3: whether it Be, chandler whether it be A, ziggler whether
Speaker 3: it Be vescovie, LIKE i think each one of those
Speaker 3: players are gonna Give hill some, issues AND i Like
Speaker 3: tennessee big.
Speaker 1: Here there's never been a better use of The Chris
Speaker 1: farley gift than this next. Game no, Idea Ohio state
Speaker 1: minus a half point Of loyal In.
Speaker 3: Chicago talk to, me all, right, WELL i think if
Speaker 3: we have no idea and you know that Loyal chicago
Speaker 3: is going to have that name and that. Clout but
Speaker 3: are they the same? Team there's No cameron Crut. WIG
Speaker 3: i know they Have, williams who's gonna is a defensive
Speaker 3: ace on the. Wing but be careful. Here The buckeys
Speaker 3: are limping in and they're very vanilla right. Now they
Speaker 3: have the best player on the floor IN. Ej, ladell
Speaker 3: and they might have one of the players that blows
Speaker 3: up in the tournament In Malachi. Brennan he is a
Speaker 3: freshman guard that's figuring it out and can drop thirty
Speaker 3: at any. Time is he gonna drop thirty Against Loyla? Chicago?
Speaker 3: No but guess what if he drops nineteen AND. Ej
Speaker 3: liddell does his normal. Stuff The buckeys are gonna.
Speaker 1: Win and last one here getting some steam as. Well
Speaker 1: delaware fifteen and a half point underdog To Villanova nova minus.
Speaker 1: Fifteen As delaware a bit of a proximity, Rivalry, gus
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 3: Here, WELL i think there's also like A division one
Speaker 3: double a football. Rivalry you, know that's kind of on
Speaker 3: the side. Here, yes and this is also The Dylan
Speaker 3: painter revenge. GAME i, mean let's not forget.
Speaker 4: That.
Speaker 3: Listen delaware has long guards that have been there for
Speaker 3: a really long. Time and plus they Have philly legend

Speaker 1: round of The. Horizons they got over it this. Year
Speaker 1: good for. THEM i Like brian especially if you're giving me.
Speaker 1: Points absolutely THERE tcu Versus Seaton. Hall, listen you know
Speaker 1: from an other, Podcasts i'm not Backing Kevin willard in.
Speaker 1: THIS i THINK tcu is pretty. Underrated they've played particularly,
Speaker 1: well especially in. Conference they ended up Beating Texas tech
Speaker 1: And kansas back to back at. HOME i know those
Speaker 1: game were home, gusts but you Beat Texas tech And
Speaker 1: kansas back to, back you're beating elite. COMPETITION i think

Speaker 1: POINT i love IT, Uab Houston Peanut butter And Jelly WALKER,
Speaker 1: uab AND i understand if people don't like, it they're
Speaker 1: gonna say. LISTEN uab hasn't played that many top twenty

Speaker 1: of the little. People their non conference gus Unc, Asheville Morehead, State. Rhodes,
Speaker 1: okay there's One South, Carolina ALABAMA a and M New
Speaker 1: mexico lost To san Fran Saint. Louis, OKAY i get.
Speaker 1: It BUT i think that they are the type of
Speaker 1: team that's gonna get up and get. Stealed they're gonna
Speaker 1: get After. Houston they're going to be Very memphis like Against.
Speaker 1: Houston it's a little frisky, here but since you're gonna
Speaker 1: end up giving me a decent, NUMBER i will grab
Speaker 1: it with Uab Illinoid. Chattanooga you took the words out
Speaker 1: of my. Mouth teams With biggs usually do. Well chada
Speaker 1: has a Big Silvio. Desuza we know him of the

Speaker 1: everyone's gonna Beat loyal In. Chicago Losing Porter mosier. MATTERS
Speaker 1: i know it's a veteran, team BUT i Think Ohio
Speaker 1: state is being underrated. Here And Nova delaware absolutely taking
Speaker 1: the points if just gus Because villanova doesn't really push the.
Speaker 1: Pace so we saw it Against. Creighton they Beat, creyton
Speaker 1: but they didn't cover in the biggiest. Tournament so fifteen

Speaker 4: tennessee Beats, Longwood Ohio state to win out right Versus,
Speaker 4: chicago and, Yes villanova to win but not cover Against.
Speaker 1: Delaware. Yes moving down to The, midwest here we Go Midwest,
Speaker 1: Region Texas southern minus four Versus TEXAS a and M Corpus.
Speaker 1: Christy following, that we Have San Diego state minus two Versus.
Speaker 1: Creighton that's the same as the. Open next, up we
Speaker 1: Have iowa minus ten and a half Versus. Richmond now
Speaker 1: what Opened iowa minus nine and a, Half so people
Speaker 1: actually betting on The hawkeyes. Here number is inflated a
Speaker 1: bit to ten and a. Half we Have providence minus
Speaker 1: two of Versus South Dakota. State that could be an
Speaker 1: hour long. DISCUSSION lsu minus four VERSUS i always stayed
Speaker 1: open minus four and a, half SO i was take
Speaker 1: getting a little money, there which is. Nice wisconsin playing In.
Speaker 1: Milwaukee i've discussed that at nauseam With joe. Yesterday wisconsin
Speaker 1: minus seven and a half Versus culgated opened eight and a.
Speaker 1: Half So colgate getting some money, here even on the
Speaker 1: road In. MILWAUKEE usc minus one and a half Versus.
Speaker 1: Miami that's a bizarre game to, me open, two And
Speaker 1: auburn minus fifteen and a half Versus jacksonville stay that
Speaker 1: open sixteen and a. Half so again people betting down
Speaker 1: when you're talking about your high, seeds they're betting down
Speaker 1: the number because they like the. Underdogs so partner take it, Away.
Speaker 3: All, Right let's go with the playing game, first and
Speaker 3: when you take a look at both of these, TEAMS
Speaker 3: i kind of liked WHAT i saw With TEXAS a
Speaker 3: and m they're twenty and ten versus the spread this.
Speaker 3: Year BUT i think one thing you want to pay
Speaker 3: attention to Is Travion, tennyson the six to four. Guard
Speaker 3: is he? Healthy is he gonna? Play he only played
Speaker 3: eight minutes last. GAME i think if he's. Healthy i'm
Speaker 3: A TEXAS a and m cc person, here AND i love.
Speaker 3: THAT i might get a couple of points with. That
Speaker 3: BUT i think if you're wagering this, game this playing,
Speaker 3: game definitely check on the health Of Trevian.
Speaker 1: Tennyson San Diego state out of The Mountain, west a
Speaker 1: team That i've been slow to warm two Versus, creighton
Speaker 1: who's scalding hot right now despite not having their freshman point.
Speaker 3: GUARD i Love creighton here after we got to see
Speaker 3: them in person at The Big East. Tournament i'm really
Speaker 3: impressed with the coach with What Coach mack has. Done
Speaker 3: losing your starting point guard and then rebranding everything to
Speaker 3: figure things out and do it in a successful fashion
Speaker 3: is really. Impressive here's the way that they're doing. It
Speaker 3: kaluma is AN nba. Player he's getting he's getting more,
Speaker 3: time and you might look at the stat sheet and, say, like,
Speaker 3: ah he's not even averaging double. Digits wait till you watch.
Speaker 3: HIM i think he'll be just fine and really. Comfortable
Speaker 3: hawkins is one of their glue. Guys he's their leading,
Speaker 3: scorer but he's not going to be the leading scorer
Speaker 3: in this type of. Game kalkbrenner is defensive player of The.
Speaker 3: YEAR i really in inside The Big. EAST i really
Speaker 3: love This creighton, team AND i love that they have
Speaker 3: three freshmen playing big, minutes important minutes and pactful, minutes
Speaker 3: and they have a rim. Protector just like you mentioned.
Speaker 3: Earlier when you have a big it makes things. EASIER
Speaker 3: i Love creighton in.
Speaker 1: The, Spot iowa minus ten and a. Half it's up
Speaker 1: a little bit, now so to open eyed on minus
Speaker 1: nine and a. Half now they're getting money and it's
Speaker 1: up to ten and a. Half So iowa minus ten
Speaker 1: and a half, First, RICHMOND i still.
Speaker 3: Like, iowa even though the number inflated a tiny. Bit. Here,
Speaker 3: look we Had Jacob gilliard on the. Podcast nobody was
Speaker 3: rooting harder for him to find more success than you
Speaker 3: AND i and all The spider fans. Everywhere the picture
Speaker 3: that he had in the locker room of THE a
Speaker 3: ten title, trophy THE mvp of The tournament plaque and
Speaker 3: then you know all tournament team holding all of that.
Speaker 3: Bling that is exactly why seniors come back and want
Speaker 3: to find success in college. BASKETBALL i love that, picture
Speaker 3: AND i love that moment for, Him but you know,
Speaker 3: what they're gonna get. SMOKED i was absolutely gonna smoke.
Speaker 3: THEM i don't if it goes to, TWELVE i might
Speaker 3: even still hang around.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: Providence the line jumped out as soon AS i saw,
Speaker 1: it as soon as that brah was watching it With Missus.
Speaker 1: Randall as soon AS i came, OUT i, said that
Speaker 1: is not a good, matchup AND i guessed in my.
Speaker 1: Head she, said what do you think is going to?
Speaker 1: BE i, said three was my. Guess it Is providence
Speaker 1: minus two at opened minus two and a. Half and
Speaker 1: As i've, Mentioned providence is getting the majority of bets right.
Speaker 1: Now so what do you Think providence minus two Versus
Speaker 1: South Dakota.
Speaker 3: STATE i think the Jack rabbits are live. HERE i
Speaker 3: think they're really. LIVE i think if you take a
Speaker 3: look at if you take a look at their gaudy,
Speaker 3: record if you take a look get like how they
Speaker 3: shoot the, three if you take a look at the,
Speaker 3: scoring across the, board like they're not just gonna be
Speaker 3: able to Put justin And iah on like you, Know
Speaker 3: wilson and then shut him, down like Then shireman's gonna
Speaker 3: go off Or fredell go, off like one of those
Speaker 3: guys is gonna get. Free and we've seen this problem
Speaker 3: With providence before where they just play their guys lots of.
Speaker 3: Minutes and the one place that they could have an
Speaker 3: advantage here Is Nate, Watson and after Seeing Nate watson in,
Speaker 3: PERSON i don't know if that's necessarily an. Advantage So
Speaker 3: i'm gonna go Jack rabbits here AND i just might
Speaker 3: take them straight up as.
Speaker 1: WELL lsu minus four Versus Iowa state slow game here
Speaker 1: like the under this, GAME lsu superior and, Defense Iowa
Speaker 1: state plays with the deliberate Pace Cyclones tigers where you're.
Speaker 3: Going i'm gonna Go. Tigers and the Reason i'm gonna
Speaker 3: Go tigers is maybe that team and that roster just
Speaker 3: needed a, reset and maybe the reset is a good
Speaker 3: thing for. Them we said earlier That duke was one
Speaker 3: of those. Teams texas is one of those teams that
Speaker 3: needs a reset and just use this as a fresh.
Speaker 3: SLATE i THINK lsu falls into that category as. Well.
Speaker 1: HERE i KNOW i may be Overrating wisconsin Playing. MILWAUKEE i,
Speaker 1: MEAN i get it Like i'm making it seem like
Speaker 1: this is The celtics playing in the guard in the.
Speaker 1: EIGHTIES i understand, that but they are playing a team In.
Speaker 1: Colgate to be, fair they're favored by seven and a
Speaker 1: half open eight and a. Half that is the type
Speaker 1: of team that could give them. Trouble i'm having a
Speaker 1: trouble getting off Of milwaukee.
Speaker 3: Here what say, You, well if you look At, COLGATE i,
Speaker 3: Mean Keegan records is big enough inside to cause some,
Speaker 3: problems whether it be offensive ly, er defensive, lyer just
Speaker 3: to clog things. Up Jack ferguson the guard was one
Speaker 3: of the most efficient players in the country last. Season
Speaker 3: he's fallen off a little bit this. SEASON i just
Speaker 3: think when you push comes to shove and you have
Speaker 3: An All america on your, team and you have quality,
Speaker 3: bigs and you're playing in a dome that's going to
Speaker 3: be all covered in. RED i Like wisconsin, here AND
Speaker 3: i don't mind if it goes up to.
Speaker 1: EIGHT usc minus one and a half Versus. Miami two
Speaker 1: things shocked. Me first, OFF i couldn't Believe miami was.
Speaker 1: TEN i, mean they've they, won they beat At duke At,
Speaker 1: Duke they've had some good, wins has some bad. LOSSES
Speaker 1: i understand, that BUT i was shocked they were, ten
Speaker 1: AND i guess so Did vegas because they only made
Speaker 1: them a one and a half point underdog AGAINST usc
Speaker 1: was pretty good this. Year so where do you?
Speaker 3: GO i Like miami and the guards. HERE i like
Speaker 3: THE i Like Charlie moore has been. Everywhere do you
Speaker 3: Know he's played at four, College.
Speaker 1: He's been all. Over it's, amazing it's, great.
Speaker 3: And so like this is, his you, know final chance
Speaker 3: at success as a college student. Athlete love love loong
Speaker 3: and then you, KNOW i think that THE i LOVE
Speaker 3: i love that they have a three guard attack and
Speaker 3: then their four man is almost like the triggerman on.
Speaker 3: OFFENSE i don't know IF usc is for, Real, like,
Speaker 3: yeah we haven't stayed up late to watch. Them, yeah
Speaker 3: they have a couple of decent. WINS i. DON'T i.
Speaker 3: DON'T i think they're a little paper tiger. Ish and you,
Speaker 3: know when they got into the top ten earlier this,
Speaker 3: season were they really one of the top ten teams
Speaker 3: in the. Nation, no and are they really a team
Speaker 3: that should be favored Over miami right? Now? Yeah probably,
Speaker 3: No SO i Love miami in the.
Speaker 1: Spot last one in The Midwest auburn Versus Jacksonville State
Speaker 1: Jacksonville state coming from the A. Sun So Jacksonville state
Speaker 1: ends up winning the western side of the A sun
Speaker 1: first year that they've come over from The Ohio. Valley
Speaker 1: they lose in the semifinals To. Jacksonville, however because they
Speaker 1: won the regular season title ahead Of, jacksonville they get
Speaker 1: to go instead Of jacksonville Or, bellerman who has still
Speaker 1: not finished their four year transitional. Period the dumbest rule
Speaker 1: in college. Basketball auburn here going Into Jacksonville state playing
Speaker 1: them fifteen and a.
Speaker 3: Half all, right, ready here Are auburn's last ten. GAMES
Speaker 3: a two point, win a, loss a twenty two point,
Speaker 3: win a fourteen point, win a, loss a thirteen point,
Speaker 3: win a, loss an overt, win eleven point, win and
Speaker 3: then a. LOSS i think fifteen points is. FAT i
Speaker 3: Like Jacksonville state here to kind of keep it. Close
Speaker 3: and if the, number you, know moves in our, DIRECTION
Speaker 3: i like that even more. SO i think That auburn
Speaker 3: maybe twelve makes more. Sense they just haven't been consistent
Speaker 3: their last ten, games whether it be against the spread
Speaker 3: or just winning games. Consistently SO i think a fifteen
Speaker 3: point spread is a little.
Speaker 1: Fat excellent. Call let's run it back. HERE i Like Texas.
Speaker 1: SOUTHERN i like their. SCHEDULE i think your point about
Speaker 1: the injury is. FAIR i think the number could get
Speaker 1: it leaven a little. HIGHER i almost, feel because it's
Speaker 1: for it's almost baked in that they think he's not
Speaker 1: he's going to be. Limited SO i will Take Texas
Speaker 1: southern and lay the. POINTS i hate doing that in
Speaker 1: the playing, game BUT i really like the schedule The
Speaker 1: Texas southern plays each and every. YEAR i Like San
Speaker 1: Diego state in this. Game the only REASON i Like
Speaker 1: San Diego state Over creighton is because we did go
Speaker 1: to the biggest tournament and we watched. THEM i don't
Speaker 1: think there was a team that was able to effectively
Speaker 1: Disrupt creighton's offense Without nemhart and now With Trey. ALEXANDER
Speaker 1: i Think crayton really. Struggled you, know A villanova's not
Speaker 1: the type of team we've talked about this that's going
Speaker 1: to turn you over a. Lot San Diego state is
Speaker 1: going to Disrupt Trey alexander bringing this ball up to.
Speaker 1: Court if they were fully, HEALTHY i Think i'd Like.
Speaker 1: CREIGHTON i have not Liked San Diego. STATE i have
Speaker 1: been Doubting thomas On San Diego. STATE i made fun
Speaker 1: Of Matt bradley's successive spin. Moves but in the, END
Speaker 1: i think they're better THAN i gave them credit. For
Speaker 1: So i'll lay the small number here With Creighton iowa
Speaker 1: Versus Richmond. Man MAYBE i got a blind. SPOT i
Speaker 1: just believe In. GILLIARD i Know iowa's got a ton of,
Speaker 1: offense and This Tiagan murray And Chris murray and every Other.
Speaker 1: MURRAY i understand maybe it's fran BUT i like How
Speaker 1: richmond's going to turn them. Over they do have to
Speaker 1: shoot well from. Three if they, don't they're gonna lose
Speaker 1: by thirty in this. Game but the numbers a little.
Speaker 1: High he gets to eleven or even, twelve AND i
Speaker 1: get a backdoor COVER i was gonna. WIN i will
Speaker 1: Take richmond in the Points providence minus two Against South Dakota.
Speaker 1: State oh my. Goodness you know it's becoming such a
Speaker 1: popular pick THAT i almost want to go In providence
Speaker 1: at this point because it is becoming such a popular.
Speaker 1: Pick it's only. Two i'm gonna Take South Dakota state
Speaker 1: with the Jack rabbits because they post so many. Points,
Speaker 1: Providence you're, right we saw him right in front of.
Speaker 1: Us Nate watson is not your typical Big South Dakota
Speaker 1: state struggles inside on the. INTERIOR i don't know If
Speaker 1: providence can make him. Pay and If Nate watson gets
Speaker 1: in foul, Trouble croswell comes in and you know what,
Speaker 1: happens Then i'm Taking South Dakota state and The.
Speaker 3: Jack you just sought yourself into, it, Right i'm.
Speaker 1: DEAD i just told you right. Right living the pod
Speaker 1: HERE lsu minus four Vers Iowa State Bad mojo WITH
Speaker 1: lsu Tj osselberger has done a great job coming over FROM.
Speaker 1: Unlv This Iowa state team controls, pace gets things in
Speaker 1: their own level that they want to take control of.
Speaker 1: Things they defend the three very. Well LSU's gonna have
Speaker 1: to battle them inside and they. CAN i was impressed
Speaker 1: When Iowa state Beat Texas. Tech they also Beat. Texas
Speaker 1: they've played tough teams across the board to win A
Speaker 1: tco away should not be slept on. EITHER i am
Speaker 1: gonna end up Taking Iowa state here with these. POINTS
Speaker 1: i just negative mojo here with Will wade out the. Door,
Speaker 1: Yeah i'm gonna lay the points With. Wisconsin colgate is
Speaker 1: the type of team that can make this a. Game
Speaker 1: But i've watched them And Jack ferguson is a tremendous.
Speaker 1: SHOOTER i just don't Think wisconsin's gonna let him. Shoot Johnny,
Speaker 1: davis your, Car, larry best player on the. Floor give
Speaker 1: Me wisconsin laying the points all Over. Miami completely agree with.
Speaker 1: YOU i think they're under, seated and WHEN i found
Speaker 1: in my gut gus that a team was, UNDERSEATED i
Speaker 1: should always pick. Them going back to, gosh what was?
Speaker 1: It Oregon state last, Year Oklahoma state a couple of
Speaker 1: years before that made A sweet sixteen when they were
Speaker 1: a low. Ce i'm gonna end up going With miami.
Speaker 3: Here they have the.
Speaker 1: GUARDS i agree long THE, USC i just don't, buy
Speaker 1: especially not on a neutral. Court and, finally totally agree
Speaker 1: with you With Jacksonville state Because Brandon huffman inside is
Speaker 1: a quality big who can cause problems in this game For.
Speaker 1: Auburn he can keep things. Close Jacksonville state had PLAYED
Speaker 1: vcu earlier this. Year they dominated and played very well
Speaker 1: inside in the A sun thirteen and three. Overall Huffman
Speaker 1: inside's got to stay at a foul, trouble but he's six,
Speaker 1: ten two fifty. Five they have some good guards. Here
Speaker 1: they shoot thirty eight point two percent from three point.
Speaker 1: Range that's eleven best in the. Country backdoor cover on
Speaker 1: An auburn team that you brilliantly explained has struggled this.
Speaker 1: Year give me the outright. Winners No, Spread, Texas Southern,
Speaker 1: TEXAS a AND M Corpus. Christy i'm still gonna go
Speaker 1: With CORPORATE Chriski, Here San Diego, State, Creighton, Love, Creighton, Iowa, Richmond, Iowa,

Speaker 1: Usc Miami, Love Miami, Here, Auburn Jacksonville, State.
Speaker 3: Auburn just to get, Through i'll.
Speaker 1: Go Texas, Southern San Diego, State, Iowa South Dakota, State Iowa, State,
Speaker 1: Wisconsin miami And, Yes auburn to, win but not cover.
Speaker 1: Partner we got one more to. Go let's bring it
Speaker 1: home with The east and finish this. Off, yes, Sir
Speaker 1: East Bracket baylor minus twenty one Versus Norfolk. State i'll
Speaker 1: have a strong opinion on, this not a strong as
Speaker 1: offer like we'll, wait but a strong. Opinion it opened
Speaker 1: minus Twenty North carolina minus three now Versus. Marquette indiana
Speaker 1: minus four Versus. Wyoming that's that playing. Game we'll get
Speaker 1: to that in a little. Bit ucla minus thirteen and
Speaker 1: a half Versus akron that. Dropped it opened at fifteen
Speaker 1: people Betting. Akron texas minus one Versus Virginia. Tech hokies
Speaker 1: absolutely would not have been in the tournament given their
Speaker 1: if they did not win that game Against. Duke but
Speaker 1: they did Open texas minus, Two so people are Betting Virginia.
Speaker 1: Tech call that gus The syracuse. Bett they always make
Speaker 1: it in and they. Shouldn't then they get hot. Yep
Speaker 1: purdue minus fifteen and a half Versus yale that dropped
Speaker 1: a little, Bit Murray state minus one and a half
Speaker 1: Vers San. FRANCISCO i have a lot to say on.
Speaker 1: That kentucky minus eighteen now Against Saint peter's opened fifteen
Speaker 1: and a. Half kick it off Partner Baylor. Norfolk, oh let's,
Speaker 1: start you know. What let's start With, Wyoming. Indiana the
Speaker 1: playing Game we'll start with the playing Game Wyoming. Indiana
Speaker 1: very interesting, Game. Gus it Opened wyoming minus three and
Speaker 1: a half and now It's indiana minus. Four that's a
Speaker 1: seven and a half point. Swing people love The, hoosiers
Speaker 1: do You, no not at.
Speaker 3: All you're looking At Trey Jackson davis one of the
Speaker 3: best players in the. Country let's call him one of
Speaker 3: the top twelve best players in the. Country he's gonna
Speaker 3: look directly across from him and be looking in The
Speaker 3: mira with a slightly less verticality in grahamy. K so
Speaker 3: that to me is a little bit of a. WASH
Speaker 3: i don't know IF i don't know If indiana has
Speaker 3: a guard that's gonna be willing to Guard Hunter. MALDONADO
Speaker 3: i don't. Know they're going to run a ton of
Speaker 3: offense through him in the, post And i'm not sure
Speaker 3: That indiana has tried to defend that type of offensive attack.
Speaker 3: BEFORE i love that the line has flipped, here AND
Speaker 3: i love that That wyoming is now the. UNDERDOG i
Speaker 3: Love wyoming straight. UP i think they're gonna win this.
Speaker 1: Game baylor minus twenty one Versus Norfolk. State who To
Speaker 1: Norfork state Beat missouri that they beat a couple in
Speaker 1: the two fifteens Advanced when was the Le High, yes
Speaker 1: that was That Kim english team KIG i got any. Time,
Speaker 1: now what do you Think norfolk they got a?
Speaker 3: Repeat, NO i don't think. SO i know that The
Speaker 3: baylor injury thing is going to affect the way that
Speaker 3: people how they invest their money. Here but just this
Speaker 3: is just My baylor take. OVERALL i think that the
Speaker 3: injuries are just gonna Provide brown and so hand further
Speaker 3: opportunity and they're gonna make themselves a lot of money
Speaker 3: in this. Tournament SO i think that as much as
Speaker 3: the injuries are gonna, hurt and of course they're gonna
Speaker 3: limit their, depth more minutes for those two, PLAYERS i
Speaker 3: think that's a recipe for success For.
Speaker 1: Baylor you always have a better rate on these team
Speaker 1: THAN i. Do North carolina minus Three marquette, hmmm.
Speaker 3: Clash of styles. Here you know That marquette's gonna, defend
Speaker 3: and you know that defending is optional FOR. Unc but
Speaker 3: they will get up and down and shoot it in.
Speaker 3: Jacket here's What i'm gonna lean on. Here morcel is probably,
Speaker 3: gonna you, know shut down one of the, guards whether
Speaker 3: it be you, Know love Or smith or something like,
Speaker 3: that and then they can put leaky black on whoever they.
Speaker 3: WANT i don't know if they necessarily have an answer For.
Speaker 3: Baykot and so when you have a line as small as,
Speaker 3: This i'm gonna go with best player on the, floor
Speaker 3: best rebounder on the, floor and best scorer on the.
Speaker 3: Floor i'll take you in see slight lean there FOR
Speaker 3: unc because the best player on the floor.
Speaker 1: OPTION ucla minus thirteen and a half Versus.
Speaker 3: Achron it's interesting Because akron is not necessarily THE mac
Speaker 3: team THAT i would be worried. ABOUT i was thinking
Speaker 3: that maybe one of the OTHER mac teams would do
Speaker 3: make a little make a little noise or do a little.
Speaker 3: Damage they've played really. Well they have an eight game winning,
Speaker 3: Streak So, akron you, know getting some attention in that
Speaker 3: line moving is. Justified i'm gonna tell you THAT i
Speaker 3: don't THINK ucla is gonna be worried About akron that much.
Speaker 3: Either And i'm gonna lead On Tiger campbell and one
Speaker 3: of the best assist to turnover ratios in the. Country
Speaker 3: makes me happy when that's what my point guard is.
Speaker 1: Doing texas minus one versus The HOKIES.
Speaker 3: I, mean Isn't texas the most on tilt team in the.
Speaker 3: TOURNAMENT i, mean it just seems like they are just on.
Speaker 3: Tilt texas against the spread twelve nineteen and, One Virginia
Speaker 3: tech against the spread nineteen and. Sixteen give me The hokies.
Speaker 1: Please purdue fifteen and a half versus a Dangerous yale
Speaker 1: team THAT i lost money on Against.
Speaker 3: Princeton, now If princeton was the representative, HERE i don't.
Speaker 3: Know if they'd be matched up With, perdue that might
Speaker 3: be a whole different. Situation that would be a Team
Speaker 3: i'd be worried about This yale. TEAM i Know swam's,
Speaker 3: awesome unbelievable, shooter very, gifted gritty is not you, know
Speaker 3: it's not going to be. Intimidated BUT i think they're
Speaker 3: gonna be too little on the front. LINE i don't

Speaker 3: baylor a couple of years. AGO i Like purdue, here

Speaker 3: do a. Ton Of things tevin brown, six' five guard,
Speaker 3: definitely garnering SOME attention. Even some nba eyes, mike gunder
Speaker 3: your head just off the, top of, Your head no
Speaker 3: research who do you think shoots? It Better from Three San?
Speaker 3: Francisco or murray state My Instinct.
Speaker 1: Would, Be san francisco.
Speaker 3: Correct they both shoot, a thirty five percent so that,
Speaker 3: any sort, of like oh well they're gonna shoot it well.

Speaker 3: Within A percentage Point So. I, like murray State Here.
Speaker 3: Give me murray state they might have the best, big
Speaker 3: on the floor and they definitely have the best, guard
