Speaker 1: here we go, bready the corn ten seconds of eating,

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: so he just goes throwun to the basket.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: Under the basket, it's the truit for the wind.

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: God pick a miracle. I good up water hit that

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: one from the parking lot. What's up the general nation?

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,160

Speaker 3: through the Futures roundtable to our existing portfolio. We will

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: talk a little week that was key takeaway from each

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: person and and then most importantly, get to some spots

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: that we have circled for the weekend. Can go Friday, Saturday,

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: or Sunday for those Mike Calbreys, Welcome back. How are

17
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: you feeling.

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 4: I'm on the Men's I got to see sickness running

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 4: through the entire family, but it's good to have only

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: missed one episode and I'll be filling in for you

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: on Saturday on the BBOC live show. So I got

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: to make sure that I'm firing on all cylinders at

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 4: that point. Really a great Saturday with some critical matchups.

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: You know that.

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: I would say the crown jewel being Marquette against econom

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: excited to talk with these these games with you guys.

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: So wait, stuck. That means if we go against Calibre's

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: he pays someone five hundred dollars, right, Is that how

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: that works?

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's up to him.

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: But I mean, how many Hot A ten takes do

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: you guys bring to the table on Saturday?

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: That's the question.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to go for a head to head,

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: try to pick an A ten game. All right, well,

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: good stuff. Let's get to the week. That was key

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: take away wherever you want to go with it, Randolph

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: start with you what he got? Yeah?

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: What I got?

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: Guys. It's contenders and pretenders. Now as we get towards

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: the end of February, I mean, just take a look

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: at last night. Seaton Hall takes Karazavier in a game

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: that was sort of a bubble game, Michigan State goes

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: on the road, gets a big win at Penn State,

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: and my Clemson disposes of Miami yet again. Auburn and

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: a bounce back and even stuck if you want to

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: go to the Patriot Colgate establishing their dominance. So to me,

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: it's contenders and pretenders. The teams that are supposed to

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: win are not going to mess up that much. Tennessee

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: destroying Arkansas, and the teams that aren't that good are

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: starting to fade away now, which is what we're seeing.

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: So the teams that really have a case to make

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: a deep run in the tournament, I think are not

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: messing around anymore.

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, cream rises to the top or midway through February

56
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: March of the year before we know it. Cawbrey's what

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: he got from the week that was.

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: So on one side you get the cream rising to

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: the top, and the other you have the bubble. Which

60
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: this is about the time of the year when I

61
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: get irrationally angry just looking at bracket matrix and going

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 4: through all the different top sites for who's on the bubble,

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: who's safe, who has work left to do?

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 5: Because some of the teams that they say.

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: From the power conferences that are on the bubble, Utah,

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: I don't see it, Mississippi State, Ole miss And then

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: on the other side, Indiana State, Welcome to the life

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: of a mid major. You crack the top, you know,

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: AP top twenty five for the first time in what

70
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: thirty five forty years, and then all of a sudden

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: you lay an egg and now you're on the bubble again.

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous to me, Like Utah versus Indiana State, what

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: are we trying to do as a sport if we're

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: going to put in Utah and leave Indiana State on

75
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: the wrong.

76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 5: Side of the bubble. Even New Mexico still has work

77
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: to do.

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: Memphis, I understand that they have worts in terms of

79
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: their overall profile, but at least they're a fun team.

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: I know what they're ceiling is a lot of these

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: power conference teams just do not move the needle for

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: me whatsoever. I don't want to see them sneak in

83
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: and play in that at eleven game or eleven seed

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: playing game. I want the best of the mid major

85
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: also rans. But in a lot of cases, I think

86
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: Indiana State's probably gonna have to win their conference tournament

87
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: to feel good on selection Sunday. So that's just what

88
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: fires me up. I know it's way too early to

89
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: feel that way, because we got about five weeks election someday.

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 4: But this is the time of year when I start

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: seeing teams like Utah get included in the conversation, I

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: know that somebody's going to get screwed, and it's probably

93
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: going to be one of those men major darlings.

94
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the end of State, that was gonna be

95
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: one of my key takeaways. I would love to see

96
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: that offense in the tournament, and I don't know if

97
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: they can get there without winning arch Madness. Now that's

98
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: a quad four loss, and you know they only have

99
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: they have Southern Illinois, Valpo, Illinois, Chicago, Evansville, Marry Left.

100
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: It's not like they're going to pick up a market win.

101
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: Maybe if they get to the arch Manness final, you

102
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: could see them get in, but they can't afford another

103
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: bad loss, which is unfortunate because they're definitely one of

104
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: the most efficient and explosive offenses in the country and

105
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: fun to watch and just an offense that no one

106
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: would want to face in the tournament. With what Josh

107
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: Shirts has done there, I'll mention a team that's I guess,

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: do you have bracket matrix up?

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 5: I do, as a matter of fact, go for it.

110
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: Where do where does where? Does? Where? Does bracket matrix

111
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: have which back makers? If you're not familiar, it's kind

112
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: of like an aggregate of all the brackets that are

113
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 3: out there.

114
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: Where do they have Northwestern Northwestern? Currently they have them

115
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 4: aggregate as a nine seed, you know, two teams away

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: from being an eight seed.

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Northwestern could be in trouble here down the stretch.

118
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: They just have a lot of chances for bad losses.

119
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: I guess they play they're at Michigan State. Other than that,

120
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: it's Rutgers, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Iowa, and Minnesota. So what

121
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: does that mean? Like, oh, yeah, they could get a

122
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: lot of wins, but they're not really going to improve

123
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: their seeding much by winning those games. But if they

124
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: take a bunch of close losses, this team could be

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: in trouble because Tyer Berry is out for the year

126
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: and that's a big loss. He did so much for

127
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: them on both sides of the floor. And now you're

128
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: gonna have to Like, first of all, Clayton's not ready,

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: so you're gonna have Clayton playing more minutes, and his

130
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: numbers so far aren't great. He's still very raw. But

131
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: this is a team that didn't have depth to begin with.

132
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: So I mean, like Boo Booie Langboard, you're gonna have

133
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: Martin Elli out there and Barnheiser. They're gonna be playing like,

134
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: what thirty eight minutes a game. So there's a chance

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: that this team just wears down towards the end of

136
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: the season, and you're really gonna miss very shooting he's having. Hello,

137
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: he was having a hell of a year from the outside.

138
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: You're gonna miss his athleticism. And there's just so much

139
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: pressure now on Boo Booie. So Northwest is a team

140
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: that I'll be looking to fade because it's not like

141
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 3: we're getting them. You know, you get the faith of

142
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: as an underdog. They're gonna be favored in a lot

143
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: of these games, and I think that they might wear down,

144
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't be surprised if they played their way

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: out of the tournament, even from an eight seed with

146
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: a loss of time. Barry, it's a big loss on

147
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: both ends.

148
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: And that Chicago State loss looms large, Like if they're

149
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: in a conversation on the bubble, that's going to be

150
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: in big time. You know, one hundred point fonts on

151
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: the Chiron across the telecast, because losing to Chicago State

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: is unforgivable. In a situation like that, They're going to

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: talk about these Quad four losses. They're going to talk

154
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 4: about the games that potentially they should have, you know,

155
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: things have gone differently, they would have had in the

156
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: win column.

157
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 5: That one I think is going to haunt them a bit.

158
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: Guys, I don't think they be I don't think they're

159
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: beating Rutgers tonight. Rutgers is being Michigan Maryland. Wisconsin's playing

160
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: very well, I know, but Pichael's a great coach. He

161
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: got it going. Now they don't have Berry, They're going

162
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: on the road. That's a loss. They still got to

163
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: play at Michigan State. Stuck. I think it's great.

164
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: Cool.

165
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get to the futures round table

166
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: before we get into the weekend. As of right now,

167
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: the final four, we have six futures. I think we'll

168
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: do three more so today, and then two more and

169
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: then we'll be into conference tournaments and then before you

170
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: know it, the NCAA Tournament. We have six futures. So far.

171
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: We have national title Kentucky, Big twelve, Houston, which looks

172
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: really good. Final four flyers on South Carolina, Wisconsin, St. Johnson, Texas,

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: A and M. I hope just all the I mean

174
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Wisconsin's safe, South Carolina is safe. We just got to

175
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: hope texta AM is safe as of now. John's needs

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: but bad loss to Vanderbilt that we need these team

177
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: to just at least get in. So I think they're

178
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: all capable of making a run. All right, let's go

179
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: for those new to the show. Each one of us

180
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: will make a case for a future could be anything.

181
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: Could be a conference regular season, conference winner, could be

182
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: the Final four, could be national championship. We'll each make

183
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 3: our case, then we'll all vote. It's a tie, I'll

184
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: break the tie. Randall, I will go to you first.

185
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: What do you have this week?

186
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: There's a commonality with our futurest guys that we've done

187
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: here throughout the year. Houston, Wisconsin, South Carolina. We've talked

188
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: about teams because the game slows down in the tour

189
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: that are strong defensively. What I'm looking at now is

190
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: no one can win on the road. So we have

191
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: to remember it's a neutral site. So let's find a team.

192
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: And I know we want to go to plus two

193
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: thousand and plus twenty Joindre. But let's find a team

194
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: that we haven't mentioned that has a really good defense

195
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: and actually has some big time wins, and that team

196
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: is Iowa State. Iowa State is eight in the net.

197
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: They're five and four in Quad one and they're three

198
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: to one in Quad two. No bad losses. Now, Listen,

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: their non conference schedule was rough, but I think that's

200
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: offset because look at the wins. They have Houston at home,

201
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: they beat Kansas at home, and that remember, it's going

202
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: to be Kansas with and without their players. That's that way.

203
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I have to say. They had a fully loaded team

204
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: and they have started to come through on the road.

205
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: That was a big win against Cincinnati on Tuesday. Cincinnati

206
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: wanted that game, tough place to play, they dominated from

207
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: start to finish, and at Texas, which is never easy.

208
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: This team is good. They're going to be at Houston

209
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 2: if somehow, guys they get that game. This number is

210
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: going to I am proposing for your review. I always

211
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: stay plus four to fifty plus five hundred wherever can

212
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: get it to make the final four. You know my thoughts. Tennessee, Wisconsin,

213
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: South Carolina grinded out teams, even Houston, though their defense

214
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: is so spectacular in a class by themselves, that play

215
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: strong defense, that are well coached, discipline, that can make

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: a run. Give me the team from the Big twelve

217
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: that everyone forgets about because it's Houston and it's Kansas

218
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: and it's everyone else. Give me Oz here plus four

219
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: to fifty to make the final four. I think we

220
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,119
Speaker 2: need a piece of the Cyclones. Guys.

221
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ozaberger super underrated. I mean he's I think people

222
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: are going to continue to catch on how great he is.

223
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: And their defense has been dominant. They are also they're great.

224
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: You mentioned common theme, like their defense, first team third

225
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: in overall justin efficiency. But they're like some of the

226
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: other teams that we've bet, not super reliant on the three,

227
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: and they're really good on the offensive glass. So yeah,

228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: the Cyclones definitely have a shot out to make a

229
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: deep run in March. Calbriese, what do you got?

230
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: All Right, we're.

231
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: Going defensive team. Let's do the other side of the coin.

232
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: Let's go offensive team. Currently in bracket Matrix at the

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 4: sixth line and twenty eight to one to make the

234
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: final four.

235
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 5: Talking about Colorado.

236
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: State, three of their next four if they got Utah

237
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 4: State at home at New Mexico home against Nevada. If

238
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: they win two of those three, I think not only

239
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 4: are they safely in the tournament, but I think they're

240
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: going to be able to land on that sixth line.

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: And that's critical because when you look at that round

242
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: of thirty two matchup, who's on the three line. You

243
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: got Baylor, you got Alabama, you got Auburn. I would

244
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: love to play all those teams on a neutral floor.

245
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: Iowa State is in that conversation. I think Iowa State,

246
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: at the end of the day is going to end

247
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: up with a two seed, and that would kind of

248
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: be my nightmare matchup. I don't want Colorado State matching

249
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: up with them, but those other three not afraid of

250
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: them to get to the second weekend.

251
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: Now, when it comes to the actual.

252
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: Breakdown of their team, the Rams share the ball better

253
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: than just about anyone the They're second in assist to

254
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: turnover ratio, third and assist to made field goal ratio

255
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: as well. And what I really like about a team

256
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: that can score and that can put together some really

257
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 4: high end offense, They're not dependent on the three point shot.

258
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: I've been burned by this. We all have three point variants.

259
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: It can be just soul crushing in the tournament to

260
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 4: see your team all of a sudden go five for

261
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: twenty seven from three, throw their hands up. They got

262
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: nothing nowhere else to go. In terms of their you know,

263
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: bag of tricks, they're one hundred and seventy seventh nationally

264
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: and three point attempts per game, so they do not

265
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: live and die from that perspective. They're rebounding stinks. I

266
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: get that they're certainly going to be matchup dependent. It

267
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 4: would be bad for them if they went up against

268
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: an elite offensive rebounding team in those first two games,

269
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: But if they don't, I think Medved has done an

270
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 4: incredible job. Otherwise, they're thirty second and Ken Palm oh

271
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: fiftieth and Ken Palm d. He squeezed the absolute maximum

272
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: out of this roster, and I do believe that they're

273
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: primed to at least make it to the second weekend,

274
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: and at twenty eight to one, I think that puts

275
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 4: some interesting head opportunities on the table.

276
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: So that's my pitch for the Rams.

277
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: Well, the only thing I'll mention is that last night,

278
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: was it last night or two nights ago? Whenever they

279
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: played San Diego State and only scored eleven crazy second

280
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: scored eleven points in the second Patrick Cartier got hurt

281
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: and he hurt his ankle. I haven't seen an update,

282
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: but that would he would be a big loss. They

283
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: won't miss him on the defensive end, he's not great there,

284
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: but they'll definitely miss him on the offensive end. I

285
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: think her Evania he's their second most important offensive player

286
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: behind Isaiah Stevens. So I do like the fact that

287
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: if you have Isaiah Stevens, one of the best point

288
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: guards in the country, you need a guy like that

289
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: if you're looking for a long shot to make a

290
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: run to the final four. They have a great coach

291
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: and Medvet who changes up his defenses a lot, which

292
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: is good in a tournament setting like Cardier would be

293
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: a big loss, I do They can get bullied a

294
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: bit at times down low. So you know you mentioned

295
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: matchup dependent, but riding with Steve and Medved Uh not

296
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: the worst idea. And we'll have to keep an eye

297
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: out on Cardiate's status moving forward. I'll mention I have

298
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: another twenty eight to one final four. Uh it's in

299
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: say yeah, same as Zach Price twenty eight to one

300
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to go, Look, I'll proposit this with this first.

301
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: Over the past three seasons, the ACC has they've had

302
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: the fourth most bids and they've had I think they've

303
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: had hardly any one. They've had like the sixth fewest

304
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: one seeds out of all the conferences. They're tied for

305
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: second and Sweet sixteen appearances, tied for first and Elite eight.

306
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: They're number one in Final four appearances, and they are

307
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: number one in wins over ken Palm expectation, and they

308
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: have twenty three total ones. The ACC just shows up

309
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: in March in the tournament. So when I was looking,

310
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, what's an agency C team

311
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: that I think could potentially be undervalued heading into the

312
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: tournament and and and also being this being this being

313
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: a good time to invest in them. And I think

314
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: it might be. I know they've won three straight, but

315
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: I think it might be Clemson twenty eight to one

316
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: to make the Final four. Their their super experienced team.

317
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: They're hitting their stride right now. They have NC State

318
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: at home, Georgia Tech, Florida State at home, Hit at

319
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: home at Notre Dame, Syracuse at home coming up. I mean,

320
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: it's a team that could play itself up to what

321
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: a four seed. They have a win at Alabama, they

322
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: won at North Carolina, which they never do. They were

323
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: a second away from also winning at Duke. So this

324
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: team is battle tested, not afraid to go on the road,

325
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: super experienced. You know, you have a guy like Chaplin

326
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: who's just a board monster. PJ. Hall is a matchup nightmare.

327
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: That offense is really good, their defense is trending up,

328
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: and they haven't even shot the three. Well they're due

329
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: for still due for some three point variants on both

330
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: sides of the court in league play. They're only shooting

331
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: thirty two percent in ACC play and teams are shooting

332
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: close to thirty seven percent against them, thirteenth in both.

333
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: So I think this is the right time. Their schedule

334
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: is very easy down the stretch. I think they'd be

335
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: You saw bracket matrix of copies where they have them

336
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: at like a six ish, get them.

337
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: They got them.

338
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: Currently as the highest six seeds, so they're you know,

339
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: one team behind BYU on that five line.

340
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 5: So I agree with you.

341
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: If they start sacking these wins, a four seed is

342
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: absolutely within their grasp.

343
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially with some of those those big ones have

344
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: a neutral win over TCU. So yeah, I like this team.

345
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: They're super experienced. I think they're peaking at the right time.

346
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: They have some good road winds, which gives me confidence

347
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: in a tournament setting. And yeah, Hall, it's just that offense,

348
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: if they just start hitting some threes. I think you

349
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: mentioned this, uh the other week, Randall, is that you know,

350
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: if Chase Hunter, like just Chase Hunter, just gets hot.

351
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: He's only shooting thirty percent from three, but you know,

352
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: if you look back on his career the past years,

353
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: is right around thirty five thirty six percent, so there's

354
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: still some upside there. I like this team. They got

355
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: Jack Clark back who gives them some versatility on the

356
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: defensive end. And yeah, so I think Colempson at twenty

357
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: eight to one is worth a flyer. All right, so

358
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: we'll get our thoughts on I'll get your thoughts on

359
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: some of these after, but we'll vote now. So we'll

360
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: go one. We have three final four bet proposals. Iowa State,

361
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: you know, hold up a one, two for Colorado State,

362
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: and three for Clemson. All right, three two, one, it's

363
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: a clean sweet three. I was close to Iowa State,

364
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: not that it would have mattered. I am just afraid

365
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: of Cardier's injury and calorid of state getting bullied a

366
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: bit Iowa State. I'm maybe it's just this is bias,

367
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: emotional bias, but I was thinking about them a while

368
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: back and their number has just come down a lot.

369
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: But I am a believer in Iowa State for sure,

370
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 3: eating outside of Hilton. But it looks like Clemson, right

371
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: I saw you shaking your head while I was making

372
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: my pitch.

373
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: I almost brought it on. You're just the man. We

374
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: know that I almost brought that one. Guys, what do

375
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: we love and what have we seen over the last

376
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: five years with teams that make a run. We want

377
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: veteran teams that are balanced and suck you hit it.

378
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: Clemson was scalding hot from three point range in the

379
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: non conference. Now they've gone ice cold. Just get me

380
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: in the middle. You have Haul inside who does great work.

381
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: Schifflin is the X factor. They have wins on the road.

382
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: They're not sexy. No one's thinking Clemson because the acc

383
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: he is North Carolina Duke. Maybe some people think about Virginia,

384
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 2: but that's it and they don't get into Brammel. This

385
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: team has the profile of one of those teams that

386
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: everyone goes, how the hell is Clemson the Elite eight.

387
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: It's a great call.

388
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: Yep. Calby thoughts, Yeah, I kind of.

389
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 4: Agreed with everything on Iowa State, except for I just

390
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: don't trust Lipsey in the tournament to string together that

391
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: many high end performance games. And as we've you know,

392
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: banged the drum over and over again, it's a guard

393
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: dependent tournament, and he's laid some eggs. He's got some

394
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: you know, games where he's absolutely disappeared, failed to hit

395
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 4: double digits, shot their way out of I think it

396
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 4: was the Oklahoma game he went one for ten. That

397
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: concerns me. That to me means if even in the

398
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: first round, if you link up against a really well

399
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 4: coached and veteran mid major team, all of a sudden,

400
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: the four minute time out in the second half, like

401
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: it's a one possession game because of the brand of

402
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: basketball they play and how much they rely on him

403
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 4: to be the straw that stirs the drink offensively.

404
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: So that's those are my reservations that made it easy

405
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 5: for me to go.

406
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: To the Clemson Mike Starry stuck one thing. Mike, You're right,

407
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: that is a great call. Because if you remember last yeaga,

408
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: tell me he's a freshman. I will tell you the

409
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: deer in headlights that I saw in that massive self

410
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: destruction against what was a Texas Tech on the road.

411
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: What was the that worried me? Because now listen, it

412
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 2: was his first year. I get it, but I agree

413
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: he's the bell Weather for that team, and I could

414
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: easily see concerns in a close spot. That's fair. That's

415
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: a fair criticism.

416
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I also think that it's you have

417
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: you know that that Clempson offense with Paul in the

418
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: post and they run so much motion out of it's

419
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: so good, especial when they're hitting threes. He saw what

420
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: they did the non conference when they're doing that, and

421
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: you're seeing what they've done of late when they've shot

422
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: it a little better, you know. I mean, like just

423
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: look at UNC again. They were one of eighteen from three,

424
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: lose at home. You know, shoot a reasonable clip win

425
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 3: in Chapel Hill. But with Hall, it's you're not He

426
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: can he can pose because he can step out, he

427
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 3: can hit the three. He can kind of bring Biggs out.

428
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: So like if you if you match up with one

429
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: of these, you know one or two seeds with like

430
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: elite bigs that some of these other teams just wouldn't

431
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: be able to get by Hawk and pose a matchup

432
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: problem with their offense there as well. But super veteran

433
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: team that I think is peaking at the right time,

434
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: like the fact that one of the things that really

435
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: impressed me with Clemson, you get that they never win

436
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 3: at North Carolina, like never ever ever win, and then

437
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: they go on the road, take care of business against Syracuse,

438
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: followed up with a blowout win against Miami, just zero

439
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: let down, look focused. So I think that they're hitting

440
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: their stride. And if you know, we look at it

441
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: since January tenth, they have three losses. Georgia Tech loss

442
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: was bad, they lost the double overtime, lost a duke

443
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: in the final second in Virginia by one, so they

444
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: easily could be working here on what a nine to

445
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: ten game winning streak. So and then with their schedule

446
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 3: coming up, I think this number is going to dip

447
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 3: and they have the potential to get up jump up

448
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: to a four seed. So we're adding clumps into the portfolio.

449
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: Two more editions over the next two weeks.

Speaker 2: played well, shot well. You don't have the chops to

462
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: win at San Diego State. You do not.

463

00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: they beat sint They played earlier this year against New

466
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: Mexico lost eighty eight to seventy back on Saturday, January thirteenth.

467
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: It's still the Aztecs, guys. It's still them at home.

468
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: New Mexico defensive metrics are not there. I don't think

469
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: they're gonna shoot as well as they did in the

470
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: win over Nevada, and Nevada almost came all the way

471
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: back New Mexico, I get it. I just don't think

472
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: they have the chops for these back to back wins

473
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: in San Diego State now really smells it and needs it.

474
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: You look at the top of the conference. Utah State

475
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: is nine to three, San Diego State tied with New

476
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: Mexico here eight and four. Call this to loser leafs

477
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: town match for West Coast, the Mount West Conference title

478
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: here or the race. Rather, I'm taking San Diego State, guys.

479
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't think New Mexico can do it. If they can,

480
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: I will tip my cap and pour martini in their honor.

481
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Santeo s a diff different team at home as well.

482
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: Calvary's what you got.

483
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: You're gonna go to the IVY on Friday nights, Yale.

484
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 4: If I can get them, you know, five and a

485
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: half six, I think that's fine. At Penn the Bulldogs

486
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 4: they're undefeated in the IVY, but they're just one game

487
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: ahead of Cornell, so they don't have the luxury of

488
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: looking past a game like this. But when I start

489
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: to break down what makes them special. Hasla Metrics rates

490
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: them as the tenth most consistent team in the entire country,

491
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 4: and that's important to me in terms of covering against

492
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: teams that you should beat and beat comfortably. They already

493
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 4: beat Penn Going Away by sixteen points earlier this month.

494
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: And it really starts with Danny Wolf, their seven footer.

495
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: He's playing the best basketball of his career. He has

496
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: three straight twenty to ten double doubles.

497
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: And it's not just him.

498
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: They're twenty fifth nationally in height, which is so rare

499
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: for an IVY League team, and because of that, that's

500
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 4: translated them to them being the sixth best defensive rebounding

501
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 4: team in terms of percentage in the entire country. They

502
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 4: rarely turn it over, fewer than ten giveaways per game,

503
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 4: and they don't foul their opponents. That doesn't leave many

504
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 4: outs for teams that are just not in their, you know,

505
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: their level of play to hang around for forty minutes.

506
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: I think Penn is going to get dog walked in

507
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 5: this one. I'll take Yale minus five.

508
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 3: And a half. All right, good stuff getting us some

509
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: high action on Friday night. I'll I'll mention another team

510
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: that I think is gonna get dog walked. I'm gonna

511
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 3: look at Boise State on Saturday. They'll be laying double

512
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: digits here. But I think it's a good spot. They

513
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: haven't had a week off and they're off back to

514
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: back blowout losses. I think you'll get a focused at er.

515
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: They're still in the running to win the Mountain West.

516
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: But this is more about fading Fresno. They don't have

517
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: any players left. I mean you're down to Andre. Their

518
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: centers out, Donovan Yaps out for the year. Bochi left

519
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 3: the game with an injury when they played UNLV and

520
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: they also played on Wednesday, big, big prep rest advantage

521
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 3: for Bois. They're down to five guys, five scholarship players.

522
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 4: Now.

523
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: I don't maybe Bochi plays, but Tavaris is absent. I

524
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: don't know where Tavaris is. They got nothing left now,

525
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: they have no rim production at all. They're probably gonna

526
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: get if they get in any foul trouble whatsoever. This

527
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: is an I mean, this would be I think would

528
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: be an absolute blowout anyway, But Freens says nothing left.

529
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: They have no no players left. The legs are going

530
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: to go. They're off to just hard fought games down

531
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: on the wire. Now you're down to the five scholarship

532
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: players most likely. So I think Boise State blows the

533
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: doors off Fresno on Saturday. Randa, what else you got, guys.

534
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: I don't think Houston's looking ahead here. That was a

535
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: close game that they had against Texas their first matchup.

536
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: They were able to get to the window and that

537
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: in overtime. I don't trust Texas. They've been very up

538
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: and down. Now they're going on the road here against Houston.

539
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: That Houston defense is just something else at home. So

540
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: I know this line's gonna be big. It's gonna be ten.

541
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: You're gonna say it's a look ahead spot. With the

542
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: game coming up with Houston against Iowa State here and

543
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: then they have Baylor, I just think they're playing at

544
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: a different level and I expect them to take care

545
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: of business at home. I have done very well then

546
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: Houston at home. I don't care what the line is.

547
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: You want to go first half line, I'm fine with that.

548
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: The level of physicality they're gonna bring to Texas, they're

549
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 2: gonna push them around here. Texas had their game, they

550
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: kept it close. Houston shoots better at home most teams

551
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: do then on the road here, so I'm back in

552
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: the Koges. I don't think it's a look ahead spot.

553
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: I think they are just that good at home.

554
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: Altrush Yeah, I trust in Lamont Paris. I know they

555
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: just lost by forty in the jungle against Auburn. I'm

556
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: hoping that that creates a little bit of a funky

557
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 4: number here against LSU.

558
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: I'd love it if I.

559
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 4: Could get it at six, because LSU is at large opportunity.

560
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 5: It's evaporator.

561
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: They've lost six of seven straight up, so now it's

562
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: just a look ahead to the conference tournament next month.

563
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: I still see South Carolina being motivated team because they're

564
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: in the thick of the regular season race.

565
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 5: It's still up for grabs. They have to win their gimmes.

566
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: There's no looking past this LSU team. And I think

567
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: because I prefer Paris as a coach here, I think

568
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: he's going to be able to impose a slower pace.

569
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: I think that's the differential here. These two teams are

570
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: polar opposites in that regard. I think also Talan Cooper

571
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 4: is due to break out of a shooting slump, just

572
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: nine points in his past two games. And finally LSU

573
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: really bad on the defensive glass and they turn it

574
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: over over thirteen times per game. That's two hundred and

575
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 4: eighty second nationally. South Carolina is strong in the glass.

576
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 4: I think they get it done here and win comfortably

577
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: in Columbia.

578
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: All right, good stuff there, I will I'll say, speaking

579
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: of team that's on that very fringe to the bubble

580
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: you saw bracket matrix up with, is Kansas State even

581
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: on the page?

582
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 5: They are not even on the page.

583
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: They are not even in the other at larges, which

584
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: means that of all I think they break down one

585
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty six bracketologists, none of them have them

586
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: in the field as an eleven or twelve seed on

587
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: the bubble.

588
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 5: So that's how bad it is for Case State at

589
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: the moment.

590
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is it, So Kansas. No one's been better

591
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 3: at home in doctor down at Doom. No one's been

592
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: better at home against good teams over the past two years.

593
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: I think that the most ranked wins at home than

594
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: Kansas State. They're just a different team at home. They

595
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: turn it over. The last turner has been a major problem.

596
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 3: So I like them here. This is like last rat

597
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: like you want to even get on the bubble. You

598
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: want to have a shot. They have to win this

599
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: game against TCU. They got a week off after a

600
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: hard fought loss at EYU is a team that doesn't

601
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: have much depth, and they've only played one game since

602
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: last Monday when they beat Kansas at home, so they

603
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: should be well rested here. And TCU and the Kansas

604
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: State defense, you cannot blame them at all. I mean,

605
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: their defense is playing at a top fifteen level right now. TCU,

606
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: you know you're going to Kansasy, got Texas Tech coming

607
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: up on Tuesday, maybe you get can't looking ahead here

608
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: a bit, But there's a couple of things that I

609
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: like about this matchup. TCU wants to get to the

610
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: rim with reckless abandon They want to get out in transition.

611
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: Kansas State actually is an elite rim defense, and they're

612
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: a very good transition defense. The only thing that I

613
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 3: worry about here is their turnovers. Kansas State's turnovers are horrific,

614
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: which could lead to fast break points, but they're generally

615
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: good in transition defense. And Kansas State does turn the

616
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: ball over a lot less at home in Manhattan, so

617
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: this game should be around a pick. Kansas State's kind

618
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: of last hurrah. I think that they get this done

619
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: at home with you know, keeping their bubble shot on life.

620
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: Sport lose this game, it's it's pretty much over for them.

621
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: So I like the Wildcats, Ema Randa, what else you.

622
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: Got, guys? I am locked into Florida Atlantic. I was

623
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: locked into him last year and a positive, and I've

624
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: been locked in it this year on a negative. This

625
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: one is Sunday. You're telling me that you're gonna give me,

626
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: potentially per Ken Palm four points with South Florida at

627
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: home against Florida Atlantic. South Florida this year Lamon Parris's

628
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: coach of the Year, but a mirror Abdul Rahim, who

629
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: came over from Kennesall State. It's been amazing. Their defense

630
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 2: is legit. They get up and they guard, they defend

631
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 2: the three. And oh, by the way, they're shooting forty

632
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: percent from three point range in the AAC. You're gonna

633
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: give me points with South Florida they win this game,

634
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: South Florida. If the Bulls win this game, they are

635
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: putting this conference away. They would be eleven and two. Yes,

636
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: Charlotte is still nine to two, but they would be

637
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: potentially twelve and one. They're leading this conference. It's an

638
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: incredible job by the Bulls, who were ninth in the

639
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: preseason poll. Their defense is legit. They rebound well. Floridatlantic

640
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: likes to get you to in the offensive boards. South

641
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: Florida is really good on the defensive boards. Give me

642
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: the points with South Florida. This idea that Florida Atlantic

643
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: is like some Kansas like team here in the AAC

644
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: that the road goes through them, I'm not buying it.

645
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: Their defense has been brutal. They've been terrible against the spread,

646
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: something like two to eight in their last ten games.

647
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: I'll take the points to South Florida on Sunday.

648
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like the South Florida cover every game.

649
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: When I said South Florida didn't cover.

650
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: Third best and the third best in the country fifteen

651
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: to five and three, only behind Minnesota and your Troy

652
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: Trojans stuck.

653
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: Minnesota's like twenty and twenty three.

654
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: Twenty three, fifteen to five and three.

655
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: South Florida, Yeah, I and and Floridalantic every single game.

656
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: It's just like it's tied with ten seconds ago. It

657
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: doesn't matter who they played. The good thing about them

658
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 3: getting in the tournament is well, they'll be a they'll

659
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: be a buzzer beater. Like whoever they play, they could

660
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: play anybody could play Detroit. By the way, I pop

661
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: the champagne bottles for Detroit getting a win. And did

662
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: you see the one man court storm, one kid ran

663
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: out into the court. Yeah, I mean taking the points

664
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: against Florida Atlantic right now, especially with the South Cartoon,

665
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: that's just a covering machine. But Florida Lantic games, I

666
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: mean they they did get that cup, that bullshit cover

667
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: against which is to state ants and prayers anyone that

668
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: at which say you lose that in overtime. But yeah,

669
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: Florida Atlantic just they can't put any teams away and

670
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: they're just not playing great basketball right now. In South

671
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: Florida is an absolute covering machine. Calvary's what you got.

672
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: So the projection for the total between Marquette and Yukon

673
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 4: is in the mid one forties. I think if it's below,

674
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 4: let's call it one. I'm interested in the over here

675
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 4: because I think there's only one path to victory for Marquette. Yes,

676
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: they've won eight straight, but they've done it on a

677
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: a diet of beating up teams that are not going

678
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: to be playing in the postseason. Kolak's been playing out

679
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: of his mind twenty six points per game nine as

680
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: sists seven rebounds across his last four. But against this

681
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: Yukon team, you can't let them set up defensively in

682
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 4: the half court. They're super elite in terms of interior defense.

683
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 4: Huskies are six nationally and two point percentage defense. They're

684
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 4: going to keep Marquette off the offensive boards as well.

685
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: So what I think that translates to is Marquette has

686
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 4: to play fast, not just in terms of fast break,

687
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 4: but also that secondary break. Any opportunity, they have to

688
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: just attack the rim, kick it out, shoot a three

689
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: before Yukon gets set up. I think that they have

690
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: to do it. And also keep in mind that Marquette

691
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: is nineteen nationally with almost fifteen fast break points per game,

692
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 4: so it's not going to be outside of their identity

693
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 4: to do that. But I just think they're going to

694
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: have to play on turbo mode for this entire game,

695
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 4: and I think that's going to correlate with.

696
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 5: This game going over.

697
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: So if you can get it sub one point nine,

698
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 4: I think over is the sharp play on.

699
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: Saturday, Well, you'll hear a lot about this sitting up

700
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: to Saturday. But Shaka's smart as an undergoe. I think

701
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: he's what ninety seven, ninety eight and fifty nine and

702
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 3: three against the spread since becoming a head coach in

703
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: O nine, he's the most profitable coach as anderdog, even

704
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: better as a road underdog. And I believe they're four

705
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: to oh and one against the spread as an underdog

706
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: this show. Yeah, four oh and one against spread as

707
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: underdog this year twenty one eight and three against the

708
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: spread at Marquette. Is Shaka smart?

709
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: It's the only Shako. When I've stuck. When Shaka was

710
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: at Texas, the only could do is win a Kansas

711
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: checkout is against the spread record at Kansas.

712
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: Again in the tournament, he would always lose the favor

713
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: when is an underdog. Uh So, Marquet's playing really well

714
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: and other healthier he got, you know, healthy Jones and

715
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: Ross Mitchell's playing well too, along with Kullak who's just

716
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: on fire. They can pressure you u Kon. You got

717
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: to turn Yukon over and get them out of their

718
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 3: sets with pressure, So like Marquette can do that. Randall

719
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: and any we be looking to potentially buy Marquette. What

720
00:34:59,400 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: are you seeing here?

721
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on this one too. It's a great

722
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: call calibres. I like Marquette in this matchup. Listen, at

723
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: some point, guys, Yukon is going to regress a little bit.

724
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: But you have a point guard against Yukon. That's the

725
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: key because it can control the pace, slow it down.

726
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: I'm not that impressed with Klingon. They do have the

727
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: perimeter defense. They can get out limited to three pointers

728
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: as well, So I like the Marquette cole here. I

729
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: also like them with the points. I think this is

730
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: gonna be a close game. Their battles are legendary. Marquette

731
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 2: in Connecticut, so you're gonna give me one side or another

732
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: with points. I don't care where the game is. I'll

733
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: take the points. But Kolik is at a first team

734
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: All American level.

735
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Connecticut elite defense look a great offense. They do

736
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: have a little bit of shooting regression looming to the

737
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: negative side on both ends. I'll bring up this. You

738
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: want to get let's get scary. I mean Georgia Tech

739
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: at home against Syracuse. Syracuse off that win against you

740
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: and see Syracuse doesn't have any bigs left and like

741
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, also all their bigs are hurt, So like

742
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: these two teams are so vulnerable in the defensive glass

743
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: or to Tech much better offensive rebending team might be

744
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: a chance to back Georgia Tech. Let's keep getting uglier's

745
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: Virginia I think it's in a good spot at home

746
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 3: against Baylor a lot stuck. Yeah, I mean, Westerrinch is

747
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 3: finally healthy. They're horrendous on the road, Like, just don't

748
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: even look at West Virginia on the road, but this

749
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: is still one of the best home court advantages in

750
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: the country and kind of a sleepy spot for Baylor

751
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: looking at who they have coming up. West Virginia is

752
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: now finally healthy. So yeah, I think Mountaineer's home dog

753
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: is worth a look. Two teams that are potentially well yeah,

754
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: I guess two teams that are potentially going to be

755
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: overvalued as favorites that are kind of peaking right now.

756
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 3: Washington State. I'm curious to see what they do tonight,

757
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 3: but they might be a bit overvalued against Stanford. Now, Stanford,

758
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 3: they're a tough team to back because they just they're

759
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: so reliant on a three pointer. But if they're hitting

760
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: their three they can hang with Washington State, although Washington

761
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 3: State does do a good job of limitting those attempts. Louisville.

762
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: I haven't bet Louisville the entire season, but Pitt has

763
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: been on fire of late. Now they come home kind of,

764
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: you know, fat and happy favorite against the Louisville team

765
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: that's playing a little better of late. They're freshmen are

766
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: playing better. Louisville. They do a lot of things very poorly,

767
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: but they are one of the worst transition defenses in

768
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: the country. Pitt does not look to run, They do

769
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: not look to ever get out in transition, and Louisville

770
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 3: their rim defense is horrendous, but Pitt doesn't attack the

771
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 3: rim at all like ever. So I can see Louisville

772
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: hanging here in a big number against Pitt. Gets a

773
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: bit inflated after some pretty big wins. I mean, the

774
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: pitt might have like more top fifty road winds than

775
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: any team in the country. So yeah, you gotta give

776
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: credit to the Pit, but I think they might be

777
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: a little overvalued here this weekend and then a real

778
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: scary one as we'll keep it going with ugly dogs

779
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: Ohio State on Sunday against Purdue at home, Ohio State

780
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: has been a corpse. But look, you get you get

781
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: a new you get a new coach, Like, all right,

782
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: let's shake things up here. Most importantly, Ohio State, I

783
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 3: was digging out of their numbers. Like over the past month,

784
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: they're shooting twenty three percent from three and opponents are

785
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 3: shooting forty three. That is remarkable. That gap is insane.

786
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: So I think three point variance has played a part

787
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: in how bad Ohio State has been. So I think

788
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: that like this is you know, look, you're getting Purdue

789
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: at home. You had the coach shake up, like we

790
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: saw Ohio State kind of going a run late last year.

791
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: I think this is probably the spot to back a

792
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: lot of State. I'm not sure they can get the win,

793
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: but I think they can keep this close and it's

794
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 3: probably it's it's one of those, you know, Mac's best

795
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 3: effort games in a good spot. Uh, Calbury's what you got.

796
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 5: That's it for me.

797
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: I really I'm going to be focused in on that

798
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 4: Marquette Yukon game from the total perspective, but also from

799
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 4: a live number perspective, because I, at least for the

800
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 4: projections right now, seven and a half seems a little generous,

801
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 4: But if I can get any more than that, I think,

802
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 4: you know, given Shaka Smart's performance as a dog, I

803
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 4: agree with you, guys. I would love to get something

804
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: closer to ten and just ride with it and you know,

805
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 4: hopefully as coaching acumen shines through.

806
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, not many. It's not a great uh A ten

807
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: matchup weekend? So yeah, was there anything any game? Because

808
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask about and then not really.

809
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: Let me throw one at you guys real quick again.

810
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: You know my love for Wisconsin. Here Wisconsin Saturday at Iowa.

811
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they got to get this one, guys. I

812
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: mean they beat Iowa already. I get it. It's a

813
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: road game. But if they get this one, they got Maryland, Indiana,

814
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: Illinois at home, Rutgers at home. I mean they can

815
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: get a good run. But guys, are they gonna lose

816
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: to Iowa?

817
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 4: I mean I always been yeah, that freshman for Iowa

818
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 4: when he plays as well, all of a sudden, like

819
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: anything's possible with them. But he's a freshman, so sometimes

820
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 4: he can absolutely disappear. I think from a fantasy perspective,

821
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: a you know, a player prop perspective, if you want

822
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 4: to bet him, I think it makes just as much

823
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 4: sense as betting a side in this game, because if

824
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 4: he plays.

825
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 5: Well, I will have a punch. I'm talking about Freeman

826
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 5: here in the spot.

827
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Wisconsin will get it done. But yeah,

828
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 3: I want to. I mean, the spread is gonna be

829
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like a short favorite, I would imagine,

830
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: let's see. I would like to see it because I

831
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 3: look back Wisconsin like the one scary thing about them,

832
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: because I still like their ceiling. But they have their

833
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: road winds are Minnesota by two, Ohio State.

834
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: Michigan State. But that's when pull that's when Hall was

835
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 2: ruled out right right for the game the Michigan State

836
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: game back in December.

837
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: Now all played in that game.

838
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: Some something was up, somebody had was sick that game

839
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: or something.

840
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well that's okay, that's these one. But

841
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: I would like that just speaking in general, regardless they

842
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: don't have a ton of great I mean they beat

843
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: Virginia and SMU on neutral courts. Yeah, I want to

844
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 3: see them pick up just even if these aren't like

845
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: Iowa Indiana. I want to see them just like take

846
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 3: care of business on the road so I know we

847
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: know that they can win at home, but those will

848
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 3: be good signs heading into the tournament. After dropping four straight,

849
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: I think it was a little overblown. I mean, look,

850
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: they lost to Purdue, they blew a twenty point lead

851
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 3: in the Braska in the second half, and Nebraska at

852
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: home as a juggernaut, and then they kind of just

853
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 3: head back to back letdown games. But you know, if

854
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 3: they dropped to Iowa and lose Indiana, then I'll start

855
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: to be concerned. Randall, do you have anything else? That's it?

856
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: That's it for me?

857
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: All right, good stuff. We will have tons of content

858
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 3: on the action of our gap and these guys weak

859
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: off for me for travel, but they'll be back to

860
