4

Speaker 3: show off to the basket under the basket. It's the

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: true for the wind, God make up miracle, i'up the water.

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Hit that one from the parking lot and welcome back

00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Cox, Kay McKeon, Jim Root, part of the BBOC

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: family here at the Action Network breaking down the early

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: portion of the week games, got stucky and the boys

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: going to hit the midweek and the weekend coming up later,

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: but our domain are the early weeks this Monday than

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday spots specifically thoughows we got MLK weekend breathe decent

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: slate actually for the extended weekend for those of you

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: who will be taking off your day jobs on Monday,

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: and some bonus Ivy League action. We'll get to that

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, but the usual six pack of sections.

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: A lot of good Power Conference games to break down

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: as well, some favorite favorites, some trash, some dumpster diving,

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: and a little bit of a spotlight at the end

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: on some early conference juggernauts teams who are absolutely smacking

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: the spread so far in conference play. Do you ride

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: the wave or is a sell high opportunity? We get

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: to all that first off, folks, let's get to the

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: big games on Monday. Big Monday used to be a thing,

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: so but unfortunately this week there aren't really no great games. However, Tuesday,

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: Big old' Slay coming to you right off the weekend,

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: right off the holiday, Big Ten, Big East, acc even

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: some SEC as well. Wisconsin at UCLA, Texas Tech at Cincinnati,

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Louisville at SMU at two front offenses surging there, Mississippi

31
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: State at Tennessee, in North Carolina at Wake Forest, Battle

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: of Tobacco, road foes all around the country with those,

33
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: mister quinelill start with you any of these five jump

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: out to you breakdowns, leaned official plays based on some

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: of the early projections. Again, we'll kind of talk about

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: what we think the market might open at while referencing

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: the Ken Palm baseline. It's just a starting point to

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: see where we can kind of gauge value here.

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,559
Speaker 3: You know, I'd say the most intriguing game to me personally,

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: for me is Cincinnati hosting Texas Tech. The Bearcats got

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: a much needed win against Arizona State, controlled that game

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: the entire way, but ended up not even covering one

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: by seven. Still not sure they're really in the in

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: the spot they were in the pre in the excuse me,

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: the non con when we thought this team was gonna

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 3: be awesome in conference play. But they've won two in

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: a row. Now they've gotten off the schneid. They're two

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: and four, albeit against the weaker Big twelve foes. With

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: Texas Tech coming in, huge opportunity for them to score

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: a real quality win, get one step close to the

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: inn Sibley Tournament bolster that resume, and Texas Tech, of

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: course coming off that massive Arizona win. I would say

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: it's a very good spot for Cincinnati, but I test

54
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: right now, Texas Tech's much much better. I would be

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: curious to see how much tax you have to pay

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: to bet the Bearcats, because we know the market has

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: loved these home spots all season.

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: I encourage the market to bet Cincinnati KAI because more

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: than just the itest, Cincinnati is kind of like a

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: nausea pill, instant nausea. If you watch their offense, they

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: cannot score. I know they got it going a little

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: bit against Arizona State, but I still don't trust that team,

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: even in a great spot there. I'm probably gonna hope

64
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: Texas Tech gets moving, you know, maybe plus two or

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: something as people look to back the home team. An

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: interesting one to me Wisconsin Ucla. Wisconsin has been out

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: in LA already. They just won at USC. Both teams

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: are coming off fantastic performances. Ucla, my goodness, they finally

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: got it right. They demolished Iowa. Matt that's the performance

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: that mc cronin has been waiting to see. That one's

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: a hard stay away for me. I probably am going

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: to stubbornly back wake Forest, even though UNC is off

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: the loss to Stanford. I think wake Forest is really

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: rising in league play. They're playing a lot better. They

75
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: just got a road win at Virginia Tech where they covered.

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: It's kind of ascension back to preseasons expectation where they didn't,

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: you know, they didn't have the scorching offense that they

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 2: were hoping to. They didn't get the point card replacement

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Tyler Johnson's not been the efficiency aid that they needed.

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: But they're finding ways to score the ball and they're

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: really defending, and UNC just does not give me warm

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: and fuzzies at all. So I kind of like wake

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Forest as a probable about Pickham in this slate of

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: five games.

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one I actually like is Tennessee. You know,

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: tough loss at Vandy. It's just the SEC home courts

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: by the way, twenty four and fifteen against the spread.

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: I believe I have the update number. Home courts were

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: not great this past weekend. It was kind of a

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: big narrative amongst gambling Twitter sphere. Road teams did very well,

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: a lot of big games. How are the SEC was

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: sort of the exception. We saw your Missoo Tigers, we

93
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: saw Florida, we saw a few other teams just really

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: like they've played the The number ballooned very quickly, I

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: think in a good spot. While Kempom has it minus nine,

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: which is feels like a very very high number. I

97
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: do think this is one where I'm gonna ignore my

98
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: numbers and just lay it on the spot. So for

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: this Tuesday collection here, I think that's my only official play.

100
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: I just want to real quick struggle back to Monday.

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: I know we didn't really talk about Villanova, Georgetown, Penn State, Rutgers, Georgetown, obviously,

102
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: with the Tommy Sorbet as we call him, injury. We'll

103
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: see if he plays. I did kind of like Nova.

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: I almost added as an official play not to fly

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: by the Monday games. No take for you.

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Those games don't even free you two. I did want

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: to include Georgetown the live dog section. Actually, Matthew, if

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: is back in the line of course, that's the biggest

109
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: caveat in the world. Yeah, you know, Actually I wanted

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: to say, I think un C has a really good

111
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 3: chance to beat Wake Forest. I still don't think Wake's

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: very good. They have covered five straight games wake Forest,

113
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: but that competition and that's the drags of the ACC

114
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: And I just this league is so bad. I think,

115
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: hey put up a shut up for Wake Forest. I

116
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: think in that game for sure SMU though, Matthew, your Mustangs.

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Hosting as well too. Yeah, boy, Miami, fittie.

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: Miami's free money. I wish I would have just taken SMU.

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: That was dumb. I should have taken that game.

120
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm liking any team total against Miami going forward.

121
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: They have given up playing defense completely, given up that

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: the team told. I bet the team told on the

123
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: SMU Miami game. It was eighty one. They had I

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: think seventy two with twelve minutes left to the game

125
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: or something. It was an easy, easy one. But Matt,

126
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: why should I not bet the over in Louisville? SMU, smu.

127
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: If you run with them, they are thrilled. They want

128
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: a ping pong back and forth and Louisville run. It's

129
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey to that team's gonna run. They've got a

130
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: little bit more depth now with with Triory back. Why

131
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: should I not bet the over there?

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean every game that they've played that was

133
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: a normal game, right, games that weren't against Virginia, and

134
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: games that were not against Duke in which they were

135
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: down like thirty points in Duke was just kind of

136
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: like bleeding and you know, doing what Shire does sometimes

137
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: in the second half. They've been super super high octane shootouts.

138
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I agree. I do like that over as well, Jim

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: with boy, especially if Louisville could start making shots from

140
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: the outside. They're kind of owed some three point shooting

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: regression there kind of. I also like louis a little

142
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: bit on the side, And Kyle your point about the

143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Tar Heels, I just don't trust that team right now.

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that's sort of an Indiana situation where

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: you have a head coach who's starting to feel a

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: little bit of ankst from the fan base, not as

147
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: much as Whatson is for my U fans, we're not hearing.

148
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't think fire Hubert at the the Dean Don

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: quite yet, but certainly another underachieving campaign well underway. Feels

150
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: like maybe a house at Card situation, but we shall see.

151
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Good.

152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to bed major breakdowns here, Yes, some fun

153
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: IVY League stuff to talk about. Man Columbia deja voula.

154
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Last season with this team, right, I got off to

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: a great non con start, kind of an analytic Darling

156
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: brought back the entire band again this season and behold

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: here they are at zero and two in conference play.

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Now to go to Princeton. So it's kind of like

159
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: their last leg of this starting off against the best

160
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: of the best of the league Princeton. Hoffet absolutely insane

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: win against Dartmouth as Avi and Lee had a buzzer

162
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: beater to escape a doom loss there and hanover so

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: I kind of like Columbia here, just maybe catching Princeton

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: a little bit sleepy off that win. But again, I

165
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: just at this point kai I as Columbia had proven

166
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: they can play with anyone in the top of the league.

167
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: They did cover against yl Right lost by four score

168
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: eighty eight, but gave up ninety two in a seventy

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: time estion game. We'll see if Princeton they can keep pace.

170
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: I do like this spot off for Columbia. That was

171
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: my one angle here. Yeah, I bet Columbia against Yale.

172
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: I got a horrible number, but thankfully it came through. Yeah,

173
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: that was like seven or eight or it was eight

174
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: and a half. I got yeah, seven at hime. I

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: thought it was going to go the other way. So

176
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: it was a bad play by me. But yeah, they're

177
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: up seven in the second half. This columby teams still

178
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: very good. I mean lost to Cornell and Yale. Not

179
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: really faulting that too much. Now, there's schedule is so

180
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: soft and non conduct. Literally they have the worst strength

181
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: of schedule in the country right now for kimpom, which

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: is hard to do. Yeah, Princeton man squeaking by both

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Harvard and Dartmouth. We'll talk about Dartmuth maybe a little

184
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: bit later.

185
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: The five points, I.

186
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: Don't know, Matthew, I can't really back Columbia there. I

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: think it's a pretty short number for a team that

188
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: I think, still in Princeton is the class the conference,

189
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: right alongside Yale.

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Jim Beto thoughts on the Itiny Brain.

191
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think Princeton's going to send and continue

192
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: to play better. But I like Princeton the Pierce gets

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: healthier and healthier. He had that inklantry before Christmas, excuse me,

194
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: before the New Year that I think may still be

195
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: limiting him a little bit. But they've still arguably got

196
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: the best five man lineup in the entire conference, despite

197
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: how well Yale's playing and Colombia's strength is more like

198
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: depth experience. I don't think that really Trump's Princeton. I

199
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: think that's better than non con so I lean towards

200
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: Princeton there many It's not a bet for me, though.

201
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: Keeping an eye more on some of the other mid

202
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: major games this week.

203
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean pretty big development getting Kayden Pierce

204
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: back for Princeton a while Columbia was down. I can't

205
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: pronounce his name, the guy from Algeria. They're big guy,

206
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: very important. Did not see something something yeah three three

207
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: uh three named good good, thank you so again just

208
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: having to keep track on. I think there's a lot

209
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: of a lot more moving parts with the rosters. Now

210
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: you get more illnesses and more injuries as part of

211
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: the season. Very annoying to handicap, but worth bringing up.

212
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: That's why we're here. It's what we're helping you out. Uh,

213
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: We'll go to Wayman and Mary at you and C. Willington.

214
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Kind of a weird game that doesn't feel like a

215
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: conference game, but the CIA, it's going to be an

216
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: absolute doozy there at tras Colise and one of the

217
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: best home courts in mid major college basketball. GUI Dan

218
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Earl obviously bringing that IVY blueprint that worked so brilliantly.

219
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: Sorry Brian Earl, that worked that the blueprint that works

220
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: so brilliantly at Cornell too willing to marry. I think

221
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: it has definitely caught the league off guard. All the

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: coaches have talked about that, and again, this is another

223
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: situation where it's the first time this a team in

224
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: the coastal is seeing this weird style. Ken Palm has

225
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: it un T one ten minus five. I feel like

226
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: that short. I gotta think this moves closer to six

227
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: or seven just with I think the Wilmington at home.

228
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm under I guess maybe I'm underestimating the

229
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: markets respect for Bill and Mary at this point.

230
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, ads out there, isn't it easy when you

231
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: hire a good coach. Look at William and Mary. They

232
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: hired a fantastic coach and Brian Earl, and he's already

233
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 3: at the top of the league for a program that

234
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: has struggled mightily last couple of years. I do think

235
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: Willman Mary's for real. They haven't played the toughest coastal

236
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: schedule yet. I mean, they beat Hofstra and beat Elon,

237
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: those two of the better teams in the league, So

238
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: so impressive wins there Elon shorthanded, but albeit still impressive.

239
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: You unc Wilmington at home. Man, you kind of said

240
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: it at Trask. I really like Wilmington in general. I

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: do not like to faith them here. They have lost

242
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: this year at home. They lost a Towson in the

243
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: opener of the CIA. But yeah, I'd have a hard

244
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: time fading him, especially at five.

245
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: If it does get to seven.

246
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: I'd probably startly into a Woy and Mary at five, Matthew,

247
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: I would lean towards the Seahawks and then sort of

248
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: getting one at home here, getting closer to the top

249
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: of the standings.

250
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: I was gonna say with William and Mary, the schedule

251
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: that they've had has been so poor. Kai really got

252
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: ahead of me with Elon being injured, no t K

253
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: Simpkins in that game, and not the same caliber of

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: Elon team. So I'm not full buyer in William and

255
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Mary yet, despite loving their coach, despite kind of being

256
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: high on them coming in the season. But five and

257
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: zero atop the league, I don't see them running away

258
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: with this title. I think this is where the buck stops,

259
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: and Willington's a decent bet at five or six.

260
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it's kind of it's gonna be a price

261
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: thing for me because the fact that they have Villinary

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: played well against the best teams in this league. They've

263
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of played with their food against the bad teams.

264
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: As I talked about, kind of the weaker schedule. But yeah,

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: that's its a bear going into te Trask and the

266
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: guard Layden roster of Wilmington, I think could be a

267
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: good thing for them. On Tuesday. A lot to pick

268
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: from you guys. Brought up VCU going to Rhode Island.

269
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: The Rams have had some injury issues lately after a

270
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: pretty dominant non conference, but they're getting healthier. And when

271
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: David Green plays like an all A ten player, this

272
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: this team looks and feels like a very talented legit

273
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: A ten and tender. Kai, what's your thoughts here? The

274
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Rams just continue to impress me. Their defense is not

275
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: something I ever want to fade at any point, but

276
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I can certainly buy the home hype spot here, a

277
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: home vintage home dog for the ramsendout what Rams? The

278
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: Kingston Rams, the not the Richmond Rams.

279
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: I think VCU at this point it's pretty clear their

280
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: head and shoulders above the league.

281
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Not a team I'm looking to fade. In conference play.

282
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: Rhode Island has been.

283
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: Much better this year.

284
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Credit to Archie Miller for finally getting this program going

285
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: and David Green. We even saw last year how important

286
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: he was. When he was out, it was a totally

287
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: different team. I'm still not.

288
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Convinced Wher Island can play with the big dogs.

289
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: I understand they be George Mason, but that's about all

290
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: they've done in conference play that's really impressed me. I

291
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: think VCU kind of has its way on the glass,

292
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: has its way inside.

293
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. Of course with David green Back.

294
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: Gets a little bit better than the interior, but still

295
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: they've been a sieve so far at A ten play

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: so I lean towards VCU.

297
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, stay away for me. I also lean VCU have

298
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: some question marks with Rhode Island's I mean, even with

299
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: green Back and playing great, they did not cover at

300
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: home against Davidson. Maybe there's some look ahead to VCU

301
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: for them there, but I don't think you should be

302
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: looking ahead when you're two and three in the league

303
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: and have been awful the last two seasons. So yeah,

304
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: it's stay away, Matt. Maybe I'll lean to VCU, but

305
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: I can't can't quite get there just looking at this matchup.

306
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the other A ten games on Tuesdays, we

307
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: have Dayton at Ducane, we have Saint Joe at Davidson,

308
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: and we have George Mason at Saint Bob of Interurant.

309
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: I think we might talk a little bit about later on,

310
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: but all three of those within two points and kem

311
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: palms projected, and I think the opener will probably you're

312
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: pretty close to those. So the kind of three fun

313
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: matchups where you sort of have to pick the pick

314
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: the winner. So to speak. And yet Saint Bonnie who's

315
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of fading. You have Dayton who's kind of fading

316
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: against you know, the surging Dukes in Pittsburgh, you have

317
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: the surging uh you know, Patriots off their big Oh yeah, no,

318
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: it's just been I mean at Saint Joe and who knows.

319
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's sort of a Jekyll in Hut more

320
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: than kind of fading. Yeah, they've been, they've been disastrous.

321
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the live dogs of the week.

322
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Where's mine? Oh, where's mine?

323
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Our most prized section, I would say, our proudest section.

324
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Although my pick's last week Spuck Saint Louis Toledo losers,

325
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: but hey, they both did not covers, which is great.

326
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: If you're in a bet money line, that's great. You

327
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: want your team to get absolutely blown out if you lose,

328
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a better feeling than your team covering and

329
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: only betting money line, and then you just feel like

330
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: you have that moment of regret. Let's talk about Georgetown

331
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: at Nova, Kay, you tease this at the intro, and

332
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: then Rutgers at Penn Sale we'll get to as well.

333
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Kind of the only two real relevant games on Monday. Uh.

334
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: The status of tom s as we're calling him huge

335
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: against Nova, right? Are they looked awful frankly against DePaul

336
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: without him? And then be Eric Dixon. Do you have

337
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: anyone that can match up with him if he's not

338
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: in there? No, And I don't even think that he

339
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: can only guard Dixon. Let's be honest. I know he's

340
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: a really good defender, he's active, he's still a freshman.

341
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Dixon's an absolute manchild.

342
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: Kai.

343
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I know you've faded Nova like with Xavier recently. Are

344
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: you ssful here? Yeah?

345
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: If Tommy Sorbet Matthew as you call him, if he's

346
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: in the lineup, I would be looking to take Georgetown.

347
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm I'm on such as Georgetown kick.

348
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: I took a money line against Saint John's. They're up seventeen,

349
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: so I really am still smart Sorry fifteen, I was

350
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: really smarting over that one. I think this team is

351
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: kind of dangerous. Their defense is actually legit this season

352
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: under Cooley, clearly can't score very well. But with Serber,

353
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: who I think is like one of the premier big

354
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: men in the entire country, I do think they have

355
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: a chance to kind of pop Villanova here, who has

356
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: looked very good but still vulnerable as well. Right, they

357
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: blew the Xavier game, they are competitive with Saint John's. Really,

358
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: they almost lost to Providence at home and probably should have.

359
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: That's not an impressive effort for me. I still think

360
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: this Villanova team is kind of who we think they

361
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 3: are under Kyle Neptune. So this is a if Sorber

362
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: is in Georgetown and he's out, absolutely not cannot touch

363
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 3: the hoy As.

364
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: He's very important. Yeah, you've seen when they've had him,

365
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: they gave all three top teams in the Big East

366
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: a real run for their money, two away from home

367
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: like Marquette, Yukon Saint John's gave them all a serious game,

368
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: and then without him, they dropped a game to De

369
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: Paul at home, who hasn't won a conference game in

370
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 2: two years. So the swing between team with Sorber and

371
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: team without is so incredibly massive, especially for their defense

372
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 2: fifth in the country and two point percentage that is

373
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: hugely because of Sorber. So if he's not in there,

374
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: you can't touch him. Dixon probably goes for as many

375
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: as he wants, picks his number. It just does scare me.

376
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: A little bit that if he's the matchup for Dixon,

377
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Dixon can go on the perimeter where he's a forty

378
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: five percent three point shooter on volume, off movement, off

379
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: the bound. Maybe PV gets upgraded to that matchup, you

380
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: give a little more versatility. I don't know, but I

381
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: would lean Georgetown just because I don't trust Villanova laying points.

382
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: I think I like Villanova Moore as a dog, but

383
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna touch this game either.

384
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: Matthew, Yeah, another I think actually an official I will

385
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: at Rutgers is the one I'm gonna got to take here.

386
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: The price is gonna be real. I think we're gonna

387
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: get a pretty I guess expensive price. Co kem Pound

388
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: has it Rutgers plus eight at Penn State. I think

389
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be close for like five, frankly, so your

390
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: money line value will be you know, you know, two

391
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: to one if you're lucky. But I still think Rutgers

392
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: wins this game. I know Penn State got healthier with

393
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: aceback and puff Johnson back, but I do think Rutgers

394
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: has a different ceiling, a higher gear. With the Dylan

395
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: Harper version we've seen lately, right. I mean it was

396
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: very obvious how good he looked against Ucla and very

397
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: highs how good he looks since he got over that illness.

398
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: I know, it's tough, kind of two back to back

399
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: roadies here in the Big Ten. Guy never easy to

400
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: win on the road, even at Penn State. I do

401
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: think Rutgers gets this done though.

402
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, they've been impressive last couple of games.

403
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: Beat Ucla at home, a game that we thought set

404
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: up actually really nice for the Bruins, and then you

405
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: turn around and beat Nebraska, and Nebraska that's really.

406
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: Hard to do.

407
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: That home court has been immense the last couple of

408
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: years for the Huskers, So that impressed me.

409
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: Harper and Bailey, of course they get the press clipping

411
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: because they've been awesome. But credit to Steve pikel Man.

412
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: He's a great coach. He started putting Dylan Grant in

413
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: the lineup freshman. He's kind of come out of nowhere

414
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: and been really solid for them. He's turned to Harper

415
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: and Bailey as their freshman, plus Grant plus Leath and

416
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: Cellerville the freshman as well, and somehow it's working. He's

417
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 3: kind of getting the Mojo back for this team, they're

418
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: still their normal ruckers cells in the glass, at least

419
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: in Big ten play. I think they have a real

420
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: shot to upend a Penn State team, who I think

421
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: is kind of circling. Even with Ace Baldaen back in

422
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: the lineup. They've played some close games, but they've never

423
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: given me the warm and fuzzies at eight. Of course,

424
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: I'm taking Rutgers. That will be an official play for me. Again,

425
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: we expect it to be more closer to five to six.

426
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you take it down to guy? I think

427
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: I'd take Rutgers plus six for sure, probably five and

428
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: a half. I think they're just with the lineup changes

429
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned, they just also the role players seem like

430
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: they're playing with a little more confidence. Like Zach Martini

431
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: looks like the guy that was on an NCAA tournament

432
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: team at Princeton instead of like a scared off the bench.

433
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: Am I allowed to shoot or not? Guy, He's got

434
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: a little quicker trigger. Just the confidence level that matters.

435
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: Grant has been a huge, huge lift for them. A

436
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: Cuff's been starting but not really contributing. But Matt, as

437
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: you noted, it all comes down to the number one Dylan.

438
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: When Harper plays really well and Dice is up pick

439
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: and roll coverage, it's really tough to stop this team.

440
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: And if Penn State's going to trap our hard hedge

441
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: on him the way they like to with their turnover defense,

442
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: he can split that and suddenly the defense is in

443
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 2: a bad spot. I will take Rutgers again down to

444
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: five and a half. Will Kyle put it a plus

445
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: eight because that's what Ken Pom has, but we know

446
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: it won't be there.

447
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree Jim five and has probably the cut

448
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: off there. I mean, heck, I consider five. Honestly, I

449
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: think it's really good set up for Rutgers.

450
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think anything lower than that you're discounting. You know,

451
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Penn State has been pretty I mean they lost at

452
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Michigan State by five, like that's Michigan State has been terrific,

453
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: But for us, it's not. They've not been, by no means,

454
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: been like a non conference paper Tiger. I think they've

455
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: proven there they're pretty legit, especially if you factor in

456
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the injuries that they're dealing with Ace and Puff. All right,

457
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, Man talk about a spot of all spots,

458
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: West Virginia just you know, rush the courts again, country

459
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: Roads all night long after a huge win against Iowa State.

460
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Darien Debris is the giant killer of college basketball.

461
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: Right now. They get Arizona State coming to town, who

462
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you no one is taking seriously. We'll

463
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: see what the number comes in. I mean, Kempom's numbers

464
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: with West Virginia are are still pretty muted, like you're

465
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: not going to get any great value back in Arizona

466
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: State as a dog here kempom has its seven kai.

467
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm not touching this one. The other one we talked

468
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: about was Indiana State going to Illinois State in the

469
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: Missouri Valley. Very high variants team are the Sycamores. They

470
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: might just be bad at the point with how crappy

471
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: their defense has looked. Gave up a million to Bradley

472
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: and gave up a million to Drake adjusted for tempo obviously,

473
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: so that that's where yet. That's my only concern with

474
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: this team. But Illinois State has been a feaster payment

475
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: team all year as well. I think Chase Walker had

476
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: like forty and twenty, so I'm not touching that one.

477
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: My thoughts on these two games, I do have one

478
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: I will officially add for twos. They would all save

479
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: it for after you break down these two or any

480
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: others that you're officially looking to for the money. Nine

481
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: and dogies.

482
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually gonna I'm gonna take a swing of

483
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: the six in the Ana State And I've been fading

484
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: this team all season, so this is kind of like

485
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: a playback for me.

486
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: I suppose.

487
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, defense is bad, but they are such a high

488
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 3: variance team because of how many threes they shoot. They

489
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: get up threes at the fifth highest rate in the country.

490
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: Over fifty one percent of their shots are from three,

491
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: and in conference play it's really really down right now

492
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: their percentage, they're thirty percent from three in conference play.

493
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: That's dead last in the Valley. I think that ticks

494
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 3: back up. You know, I don't like this team on

495
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 3: the whole, but they do have shooters. They do have

496
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: capable shooters. Now, Illinois State, that's a team you just

497
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: can't really trust. Lost to evans Hille by eighteen at

498
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: one point. Certainly better at home and valley home, you

499
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: have to respect. I think Indiana State can get it done.

500
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: I'm taking them on the spread. I would swing a

501
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: little bit on the money line there, since it is

502
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: a live dog section as far as West Virginia goes

503
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 3: gym number one home court advantage in Kim Pomp, I

504
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: just think it's a really good spot for Arizona State.

505
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: I really lean towards the sun Devils here, kind of

506
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: hoping Westginia. It takes money, maybe get a little better

507
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: price on Arizona State. And I'm looking at them on

508
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: the spread as the dog there.

509
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna back them on the spread at seven.

510
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: Sucker for the spot here. Arizona State's travel isn't bad

511
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: at all. They're just coming from Cincinnati. It's not flying

512
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 2: all the way across the country like you might expect.

513
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, West Virginia coming off a top five home win,

514
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: Country Roads screaming it after the game, knocking off Iowa State.

515
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: Even with Joe's on sand and status up in the

516
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: air for ASU, I think there's enough there that I'm

517
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: going to take the plus seven. I back them ten

518
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: and a half at Cincinnati. I'll take seven at West Virginia.

519
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna pass as Arizona State. I know they

520
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of scummy to cover at Cincinnati, but this is

521
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: a similar type of matchup where just a really really

522
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: rugged defense, and that offense can go through huge scoring droughts,

523
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: especially if Sandon's not in there. He's kind of the

524
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: key to their offense in many regards, however, I do

525
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: I think Arizona State's defense is underrated and it kind

526
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: of helps you as that dog and that dog profile

527
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: hill Mary. UCF goes to Iowa State. Guys, this is

528
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: not really a great spot on Tuesday talk ioas say, lost,

529
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: just lost a heartbreaker at home to Houston. I'm looking

530
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: at UCF's road performance so far. They won at Texas Tech,

531
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: pretty tough place to win. We just say right, they won.

532
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they covered at Arizona and I think we

533
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: just saw him play Houston very competitively after beating Arizona

534
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: State on the road too. Like this team's kind of good,

535
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying to be Iowa State. They're talented.

536
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: Their freshman theam is a beastly shot blocker. They're sort

537
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: of a tough prep because of their new renovated offense.

538
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: I think i Always State could win this game by forty.

539
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: But you want to talk about variant and a potential

540
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: like massive, massive payday money line, I'm gonna add UCF

541
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: to the watch list. Not official play, but one We're

542
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: all come back and gloat about it next week if

543
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: it hits, and then if it loses, I'll just say, hey,

544
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: I just warned you. It's a watch list play, not

545
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: an official play, so take that for what it's worth.

546
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: We move along to the favorite favorites. Yeah, last week

547
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: we talked about Duke against Miami, and I think the

548
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: ACC might be a conference we target for the section.

549
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Just they're teams about this developing halves and has not.

550
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Its like the bottom chunk of this conference is terrible.

551
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: A lot of just bad, bad teams with no hope

552
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: but some mid major opportunities. Here is while you guys

553
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: highlighted Colgate and Bucknell out of the Patriot and then

554
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: McNeice the Southland Wagon against SFA, who used to be

555
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: a south Plane wagon but no longer. The fact that

556
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: Kempoum has that as a fifteen point projection says all

557
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: you need to know about. Hey, how good McNeese is

558
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: and be how down in the dumps SFA is. Kyle

559
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: go to you here. You like both the favorites on

560
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: these two? Yeah, I mean a little less on McNeese

561
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: just because I've then on. I've been high on SFA

562
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: all year because I just can't possibly believe how bad

563
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: this team is.

564
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: But they really are, they really are. I've backed them

565
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: too much. I've paid the price for it stubbornly. Keep

566
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: bashing my head against the wall. But look, they're one

567
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: and six in the South end. They've lost in Carna, Word, Houston,

568
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: Christian in Sela and you two really good. They've lost everybody.

569
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: This team is one of the biggest lopsided levelies in

570
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: the sport. Really good defense, the worst offense in history.

571
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: I mean they're blow twenty three percent from three, that's

572
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 3: the worst in the country. They're bad. So I would

573
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: lean towards mcnice I really like Colgate. This team is

574
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: clearly the class of the Patriot Again, I am like

575
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: hicking myself to the moon that I didn't take them

576
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: against Lafayette. That was probably the easiest bet of the

577
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: entire season. Jym, So Colgate. I would definitely against Bucknell. Actually,

578
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: I'm taking Colgate for the show minus five.

579
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm betting Colgate five too. It just

580
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: it seems like the market, the market is like, yeah,

581
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: this is who Colgate is as they continually way out

582
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: perform not They've got Woodward back, and they got Jalen

583
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: Cox back weekend too with their best guard. You add

584
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: it all together, and Lango's prep and his familiarity with

585
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: all these foes in the Patriot League, he just kind

586
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: of owns all of them. So I'm going to continue

587
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: to ride the toothpaste Coldgate train with you. I don't

588
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: have much of a take on the other one that,

589
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: but give me Coldgate.

590
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: I'll give you one off the screen. Here off the board.

591
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Akron the zippity dude dies going on

592
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: the road to Buffalo. And this is Tuesday, so I'm

593
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: jumping we'll talk about two here and a secon. I'm

594
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: jumping the gum. But I just I had this run

595
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: down on my cheet here. I forgot to bring it up.

596
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: They go to Buffalo. Akron has been awesome, like I think,

597
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: better than most people expect it, given they as Jonger

598
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: has told me the summer they dubbed last year as

599
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: the last Dance, I really thought this would be a

600
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: down season. And lo and behold, they're twelve and five overall,

601
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: five and in the league. One hundred and fifteenth in Kempom. Yes,

602
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: it is a watered down Mac team. I think they're

603
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna absolutely just steamroll Buffalo on the road up Buffalo

604
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: again an extra day off to prep. Buffalo just won

605
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: a big, roady fluky. I think at Western Michigan a

606
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: team that doesn't diffend anything. So I think Akron wins

607
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: by two at least hopefully that spread his under fourteen.

608
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: Kempom has it twelve, sof'sial play for me. They're just

609
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: a real quick insertion Tuesday. Other games we had on

610
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: the list, Creton at to Paul. We'll see what the

611
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: number is here, Jim. After De Paul got that huge

612
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: win at Georgetown. Shorthanded Georgetown, but the Jays off their

613
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: Yukon victory kind of have dan it Early's number a

614
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 1: little bit. Do you think they keep it going there

615
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: against a brittle De Paul team in Chicago?

616
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could see a little letdown from DePaul. But

617
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: De Paul's is kind of like a feisty group and

618
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: right kind of embodies who they are, just gets under

619
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: your skin. He's always playing hard. Maybe getting a little

620
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: more out of Skogman now he had been a shell

621
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: of himself since her return from injury, and much better there.

622
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, Creighton is really rolling and this isn't a

623
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: road environment where you're scared of the young role players.

624
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: And they already just played well at Yukon. I think

625
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: they can play well at De Paul. But mc andrew

626
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 2: and kay Jumia Eel's good at basketball. Now we can

627
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: just want to process that. I guess he's doing well.

628
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: Jim any given night he can hit seven threes, being

629
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: also missed seven threes. I guess I think you're getting

630
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: a cheap price if it If it is Creighton minus

631
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: five at De Paul, I think you're getting cheap price.

632
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: I still think this A Paul team just isn't quite.

633
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 2: Where we hope it would be.

634
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: At this point, they're still outside the top one hundred,

635
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: and that's kind of what they are.

636
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: Creighton.

637
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: You said it five and one of the Big East

638
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: and looking better and better every single game. So I

639
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: do lean pretty hard to Creighton there in that spot.

640
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

641
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: De Paul won the first Big East game in one

642
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: hundred years against Georgetown.

643
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: They're right and high.

644
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: Georgetown without by the way.

645
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: And Yeps as well. Now that team look different without

646
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: those guys. All right, last one you guys written out

647
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: here are Utah against Houston. I've been cooler on the Koubs,

648
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: mostly wrong about that take, although obviously they just want

649
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: one of you know, buzzer Beater Barnburner at UCF. But

650
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to gloat about that now. Kind of

651
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: get the Utes, who, in my opinion, are categorically less athletic,

652
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: off a big win against their holy war rival BYU.

653
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys. I assume you looking to lay

654
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Houston here. I'm not going to make an official play,

655
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: which the first time I think I've agreed with your

656
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Houston Leans all season on this program minus eighteen per Kempum.

657
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll lay it. I think it's pretty big.

658
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: But I still think Houston is. You know, they're number

659
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: one in the offense and defense in the Big twelve.

660
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: They are general.

661
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: UCF played the best half they can possibly play in

662
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: the first half and Houston still beat them. And the

663
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: refs were horrible in that game and Houston still beat him. Right,

664
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: this team is still scary good.

665
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tugler got a technical like right away, the second foul.

666
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: Tugler doesn't play the entire first half, the best defender

667
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: on the best defense. Suddenly Houston looks a little bit mortal.

668
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: They did come back and win. The big part of

669
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: this matter, I think is the other side of the

670
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: Utah coming off ot win against BYU major rivalry, the

671
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: Holy War. You could see Utah going to Houston to

672
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: be like, Ah, if we get punched in the mouth early,

673
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: we don't need to stick around for this. I'm not

674
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: gonna lay it either, because the variants in these big

675
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: favorites and conference, Like, I don't know is this going

676
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: to be eighteen, It's could be twenty. I don't know

677
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: what the spread will be with if you get a

678
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: spot tax on it. But I just wanted to note

679
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: that for people in Utah going to Houston after giant

680
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: home rivalry win could be a sleepy effort.

681
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: Matt Utah is lost by twenty five to Baylor, twenty

682
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: eighth Texas Tech, and twenty three Dive State. They might

683
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: just get blown out by really good teams.

684
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is out the PAC twelve. Sorry correct, Yeah,

685
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: let's we were kind of already bleed bled into the

686
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: spot section, but let's just go right into it. You know,

687
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: we haven't been great at this section. As we sort

688
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: of mentioned, some of the spots are just tougher in

689
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: conference play, right, It just more rigid, consistent schedules. And honestly,

690
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the cliche perceived spots in quotation aren't

691
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: as good as they as they used to be. I

692
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: just think there's more of a different dynamics out there.

693
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: The market over bets them. You don't always get good

694
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: value on them. Like we talked about, Marquette had a

695
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: great spot, but they've kind of been in creuded control

696
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: in the biggiest They barely survived last night. Case State

697
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: we talked about last a week as well, they did

698
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: They did cover in the Mississippi State, not even close. Again,

699
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: not great at this section. So take all of our

700
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: takes over the big backgreend and so we've talked about

701
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: some spots earlier, a few others to dive into. We

702
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: did mention the DePaul Creighton breakdown. How about Cincinnati at

703
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: home against Texas Tech. I just do not trust this

704
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: bear Cat team. Obviously, you're playing Texas Tech off their

705
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: huge win and you kind of had that Cincinnati desperation

706
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: factor kai Bearcats again until this team can score points

707
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: like at a semi consistent rate. I'm just not backing them.

708
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: That's where, Yeah, we touched them already in the big

709
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: Game section.

710
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

711
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: The spot sets up very nicely for Cincinnati.

712
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: If you're a spot better, I think you're gonna probably

713
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: play that, and I think the market will probably bet

714
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: that as well. Like you said, they have been overbetting

715
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: spots anecdotally, it seems like the spots are two pretty

716
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: well this year, but I you know, evidence, I guess

717
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 3: taking the wrong ones.

718
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I think it's more fifty to fifty.

719
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: It's kind of in your head to be frank, but

720
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: Texas Tech was way better in the it as we

721
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: talked about it. Yeah, I'm probably staying away with this one.

722
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like I said earlier, I want I want

723
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: there to be a lot of steam for Cincy and

724
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: I can get a couple of points of Texas Tech

725
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: on the road. I fully acknowledge that the spot is

726
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: all bearcats and respect people betting that, but I just

727
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: think since the circling the drain a little bit and

728
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 2: Texas Tech is legitimately very good and their wins are

729
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: going to start to catch up with their analytical profile.

730
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: We talked about some of the IVY oddities in the

731
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: schedule Yale versus Dartmouth, and there's a couple others that

732
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: do this. Saturday Monday, Mike Martin to Brown talked about

733
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: how odd this was, like, for example, they played at

734
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: home against Harbor. They just got killed by the way

735
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: at home against Harbord. Now they have to go up

736
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: to Ithaca. That's a tough rep and travel on short

737
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: on a short turnaround to go to Cornell Upstate New

738
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: York and play a very very intricate system. Now again,

739
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: the IVS know that system pretty well. That's why we've

740
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: seen Cornell kind of flat line the last couple years

741
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: in conference play relative to non con But Dartmouth Yale here, kay,

742
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Darvin might just be under value

743
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: at this point. They've been playing very competitively, they've gotten

744
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: a little healthier, and while I think Yale has had

745
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: a propensity to blow out the dregs of the league

746
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of seats, I don't think Dartmout's in that.

747
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: I think Dartmouth's actually a real a real team that

748
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: if you're getting fifteen that feels kind of high. So

749
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: that's a spot for me. With Dartmouth.

750
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: I think big Dartmouth thy, Yeah, they have been a

751
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: lot better by the way, ithicas in like middle of

752
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 3: New York. They're it's not upstate, it's like West, It's

753
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: like middle.

754
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: It's a long trip. Why are we we would don't

755
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: believe this. It's a long trip.

756
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: It's like I don't there's a lot of East Coast listeners.

757
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're getting pissed off of that. Okay, Yeah,

758
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: Dartmouth many, Yeah, late Princeton tough. They've had some impressive

759
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 3: efforts this year. But I actually like Yale in this game.

760
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: Lean that way, it's huge, it's a huge spread for

761
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: the IVY League.

762
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: So I give you that.

763
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: I do think Yale is the best team in this

764
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: conference what we seen with Princeton. And this is Dartmouth's

765
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: first trip on the road. Granted they've done okay in

766
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: past games, and they beat Boston Boston College on the road,

767
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: but I still think it's a lot different team away

768
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: from home. And and Yale, like I said, man, I

769
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: just say a double everybody in talent.

770
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: But you know, maybe the.

771
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: Exception of Princeton, so Island towards Yale. Not an official play.

772
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have the perception that Yale's, like, you know,

773
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: it's tough to blow teams out in the IVY, like

774
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: the double digit spreads, you want to lean towards the dogs.

775
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: But looking back at Yale's history, I mean, they just

776
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: blew up Brown by twenty as a ten point favorite.

777
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: Last year, they beat Harvard by twenty as eleven point favorite.

778
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: They beat Dartmouth by twenty four is a twenty point favorite.

779
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: Beat Penned by sixteen is a thirteen and a half

780
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: point favorite. Beat Dartmouth by twenty five is a twelve

781
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 2: and a half ro own favorite. Like, so, they've actually

782
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: been really good, and these big dogs are the big

783
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: favorite spots against IVY League components, So I'm going to

784
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 2: stay away, Matt. I think it's kind of a conflict

785
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: between how good I think Yale is and how the

786
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: spot sets up for Dartmouth.

787
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a long standing trend. I think betting

788
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: like large dogs in the IVY was a pretty good

789
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: bet for a while, but last year. I think in

790
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: the last two years maybe that that's sort of gone

791
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: out the window. I think the gap between the haves

792
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: and the have nots has grown and Yale's Athlos has

793
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: them in depth that just overwhelms some of these teams.

794
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: But they get think Dartmouth's better this year. So and

795
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: maybe this thought of the week here Vandy Alabama. I

796
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: guess Alabama did win, right, they just won at or Sorry, Yeah,

797
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: well this is why it's the spot of league, right.

798
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: They just they won at Kentucky. So a letdown spot here.

799
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: But Vandy, you know, maybe you would argue had they lost,

800
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: that could be a better spot. But I kind of

801
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: like the angle of like, hey, off that huge win.

802
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just going to ride that mojo into another

803
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: big effort against Bama, coming in getting a pretty big number.

804
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 1: I would assume they'd be laying or catching double digits here, Kayle,

805
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: what's your thought here for the Buyington's versus the versus

806
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: the Crimson. I don't have a lot of thoughts here

807
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: on this one. The spread is probably gonna be pretty fair.

808
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: Would lean towards Alabama if anything. Yeah, Vanderbilt home run Africainst.

809
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee.

810
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 3: We just haven't seen them win these big games normally

811
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: this season. I mean every team they've played inside top

812
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: seventy five or so they've either lost or they've struggled

813
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: with outside of the Tennessee game. So I think the

814
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 3: Vannerbils team is very good. I just don't think they

815
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 3: are elite elite quite yet, especially in a road environment.

816
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 3: At that home win against Tennessee, I would lean pretty

817
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 3: heavily towards Bama.

818
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: But no play though.

819
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna lay it, Matt. I'm looking at the

820
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: spot the other way where team gets huge home win

821
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: against rival that's sandy, now goes on the road. I

822
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: think that's more prone to a letdown. Then Alabama getst

823
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: road wind, now comes back home and against an inferior team.

824
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: I think Bama also showed against Kentucky's very shaky defense

825
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: a lot more of the spurt ability that last year's

826
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: team had. That a couple of different tennel runs in

827
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: that game that was like, oh yes, Obama has the

828
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: kind of electric perimeter attack and young Blood hit a

829
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: couple of big shots. Man, we're looking for him to

830
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: get more into that rotation. So I'm gonna lay it

831
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: with Bama minus thirteen. I'd probably take up to fourteen there.

832
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's take out the trash here quickly. It's

833
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: smelly this week, so I don't want to hold it

834
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: very long. The trash man pick of the league. I'm

835
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: the trash man. Just throw me the trash, your garbage,

836
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: and you know it. Totally unreliable, undependently.

837
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 2: That's it. You've hoe you like that good?

838
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: We have some action that's single a maction for those

839
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: of you keeping tabs at home. A few teams here

840
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: in this conference we've been questioning are they really trying

841
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: to win this season? They've been trying to or maybe

842
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: trying to not cover wink wink Northern Illinois at Western Michigan. Now,

843
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: Northern Illinois has been downright terrible, like I think the

844
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: worst team in the conference bar none, and there have

845
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: been some bad teams here Western Michigan. Their last few

846
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: defensive efforts make me question how much they're really dialing

847
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: in on that side of the ball here. I can't

848
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: imagine the Broncos laying ten. They just gave up eighty

849
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: five to Buffalo. They did be Kent State at Kent State,

850
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: a result that will never make sense to me. They

851
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: won ninety four eighty three. Still give up eighty three

852
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: against a Kent State team that's a litt Gritier, gave

853
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: up ninety one to Miami, gave up eighty three to

854
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: Bowling Green. I don't know kai Northern Illinois. Can they

855
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: score seventy ken Pum has its seventy nine to sixty

856
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: nine in this game. I went all over the map here.

857
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: I like the in this game, so I guess this

858
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: sort of goes against the trash premise here. I think

859
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: this actually ends up being prettier trash than most trash.

860
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: This is just a trash league the mac of the season.

861
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm also brutal at betting this league outside of Toledo games.

862
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: I think Tolo game's done pretty well. The other games horrible.

863
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: I would suggest fading the bottom of the conference and

864
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: then doing that and not bet Bowling Green. That's the

865
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: exception there, as they lost outright to Eastern Michigan. Somehow,

866
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: NIU is horrible. I'm of two mindsets here. NIU is

867
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the country. Western Michigan

868
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: should not be laying ten to anybody, So in that sense,

869
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: I lean towards the dog, but I don't know if

870
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: I have the stones take it.

871
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: And again, this is like the worst conference in America

872
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: to bet right now, Yeah.

873
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: Matt, I'm gonna go with you on the over big

874
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: reason being Chancey Willis the point guard for Western Michigan.

875
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: Since he's been in the lineup, they're definitely playing faster

876
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: per CBB analytics are pals Western Michigan playing six possessions

877
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: faster when Willis is on the court, that's in the

878
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent tile on the country. He really gets

879
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: some go go going, and I think North of Illinois

880
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: is a happy participant in that. So I think this

881
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: turns into a track meet. I like, you're over angle.

882
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: So last year the MAC was twenty fifth and tempo

883
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: of all conferences. This year at second, So just for

884
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: context and how quickly they're pedal, and yeah, will a

885
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: big part of that gym. But also I think a

886
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: function of the competition. I mean even teams like I

887
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: mean Kent State's kind of we've seen get out in

888
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: track meets before, and I'd argue that they probably don't

889
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: want to. It's probably like Robson, robs so pissed off.

890
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: He's like, we can't get caught up, Like let's do

891
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: what we do. So, yeah, weird league this year, another

892
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: trash let's talk, let's do a quick spotlight conference Juggernauts.

893
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: And of course we wouldn't have it any other way

894
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,959
Speaker 1: if we wouldn't start out with your Missouri Tigers five

895
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: and others to spread in the Southeastern Conference. A dominant

896
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: win over your quasi rival Arkansas, we call it a rival. Yeah,

897
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: for sure, they played Tuesday. They're at techas Rodney terry Man.

898
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: It could be a low number. We'll see what it

899
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: looks like. But missoo and let's talk about the other

900
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: guys who are undefeated so far in conference play against

901
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: the numbers so five and oh, missoo U A B

902
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 1: is five and oh they've been dominanting the American despite

903
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: their second half of Low's l i U for those

904
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: of you bet in the extra board, nec Well coached team,

905
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: they've been kind of good against the Northeasterners up there Miami,

906
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh my boys, Travis steel in Company five and oh

907
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: against the the trash mac as we just discussed, you

908
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: see Irvine, this is they're not playing Monday Tuesday, but

909
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: they're seven and other against the spread. Just want to

910
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: bring them up real quick before I go there. How

911
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: about missoo U A B Miami. All three of these

912
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: teams playing Tuesday undefeated, Hi ride, wave or sell high

913
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: or pass. I think I'm passing.

914
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm just too bias towards Tigers in a bad way,

915
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: I suppose because two seems short for Hey, talk about spots.

916
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: This is a great spot for Texas.

917
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: Off off the Florida loss, off two straight way away games,

918
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 3: You're coming back home.

919
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: You're getting a Missouri.

920
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 3: Team that, while very very good, is one of the

921
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: SEC teams you can pick off and beat, especially on

922
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 3: your home floor. Texas is one and foreign the league.

923
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 3: Miszoo's four and one in the league. I think Texas,

924
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 3: with its back against the wall, is the better play.

925
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 3: Having said that, I've watched both these teams, Jim, and

926
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: I think Maszoo is the better team. So I understand

927
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: where the you know why the sped will be two three,

928
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: It'll be bet towards Texas.

929
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: I bet, but I will lean towards the long words.

930
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: I've been trying to listen to people that aren't Missoo

931
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: fans and how they talk about the Tigers, because I

932
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: realize my eyes don't see the same things. I'm a

933
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: little more biased. I watch every game, et cetera. Some

934
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: people that I respect are like, this team's really good,

935
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: and I agree with that. They're very versatile. They've got

936
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 2: a lot of positionless type of guys that can spread

937
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: you out in attack mismatches. They've got some shooting, they

938
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: can play different kinds of lineups. So Matt, I would

939
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 2: lean towards Miszoo there, but I don't trust you ab

940
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: to lay double digits. I'm not going to go there.

941
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: I kind of trust Miami Ohio because of the offense.

942
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 2: I think they can really score and covers a big favor.

943
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: But we just got finished saying that the MAC is

944
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 2: a scary proposition, so I will leave that alone out

945
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: of respect for the insanity that is that conference.

946
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: Oh but Fadie Bulligrand is a good idea, so I

947
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: do interwards in Miami. Okay, there you go, bullying grad Yeah, horrible.

948
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: I know.

949
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I still think there's a there's an uptick coming from

950
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: my Falcons, but they've just been too hurt. They have

951
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: no bodies I have. I love the Red Hawks. I'm

952
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: not laying that the one I am going to lay

953
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: those u av This will be my other official play,

954
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be first half for me and I

955
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: continue to attack the UAB first half smart to get

956
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: out with. Yeah, and the road Runners have been terrible

957
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: in the first half. They've been like okay so far.

958
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: In second half we saw them. I think the Saint

959
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: Mary's games, like the one that come to mind right

960
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: there down eighteen and came all the way back at

961
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's to tie that had a couple of other

962
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: kind of comeback. The efforts just kind of a discombogulate

963
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: operation right now with all the any pieces at Austin

964
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: Claus integrating so UAB first half ride in the conference,

965
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: Sugarnut wave fellas. Let's recap our picks for the week. Uh,

966
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: and before we do, I'll just lead off here because

967
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: I had the absolute worst week of any of us

968
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: last week, so I just want to kind of own

969
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: this off the off the dome here. Yeah. Ohe four.

970
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: I think last week was my official record for official plays,

971
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: So either that's a do theory of bounce back this

972
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: week for me. That's That's what's what I'd like to

973
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: like to implore you.

974
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 2: Two of them were big plus money dogs, Matt. Two

975
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: of them are big plus money dogs.

976
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah no, but they weren't even competitive though, So I

977
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 1: feel like losses like they just were non competitive games,

978
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: all right. I got Rutgers money line, talked about that earlier.

979
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: Not gonna take great Price again, but still I think

980
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: it's a that's a game they went. And then Akron

981
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: mentioned in the favorite favorite section going to Buffalo hopefully

982
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: can catch less than two touchdowns, keeping it tight, keeping

983
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: a conservative off a disaster week. Kai to you for

Speaker 1: Good for Kai.

00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: I did not take Morgan State, who won out right,

989
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: that was a mistake on the show, Wilmington. I'm taking

990
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 3: them against Willman Mary. I'm taking the sm Louisville over

991
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: Rutgers on the spread, Indiana State spread against Illinois State

992
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,239

993
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 3: West Virginia Colgate taking him against Buck noll And. I

994
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: like Matt's UAB first half angle. I'm Surprice is not

995
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: officially playing that one. Oh yeah, sorry, I am playing that.

1000
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 2: going back to the well there plus one this is

1001
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: what it is in Kenpon, but I would take it

1002
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: to minus two depending on where that line goes. So

1003
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 2: like Forests, I'm also taking the SMU Louisville over. I

1004
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: take it up to one sixty because I could see

1005
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: that getting bet up given the nature of both teams.

1006
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 2: Rutgers plus eight a plus down down to plus five

1007
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: and a half, Arizona State plus seven, and that spot

1008
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 2: at West five Colgate minus five. Keep riding the Raiders

1009
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 2: and laying it with Bama minus thirteen against the commodoors

1010
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,040
