00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: The Big Bets on Campus Podcast podcast.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: PODCA All right here, we are.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: Right in the corner ten seconds of eight, so it

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 3: just goes through out the basket, under the basket.

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: That's the true for the wind god.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Racle.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm just water big that one from the fucking.

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: Love Good Evening and welcome to the twenty twenty six

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: college basketball bracket release show. I'm stucky. In joining me

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: are my fellow Big Bets on Campus podcast co host

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Mike Christian and the one and Only Duck. We have

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: our brackets. I wrote them down as I usually do

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: if I have them up on my computer, but this

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: is a tradition unlike any Other've been doing it since

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: I was a kid. Write them down right away. We

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: will go through region by region our favorite first bet looks.

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: We will give our initial final four later in the show,

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: and we will discuss our our first takeaways from the bracket.

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 2: I didn't see too many gripes this year compared to others.

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: I think the top thirty seven teams on keimbom all

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: made it. If you go top forty three, sorry Auburn

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma, but let's start there. Duck, I think that

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: you thought it was a pretty I actually, before I

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: get to you, I do want to remind everyone we

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: will have we will break. We have two episodes early

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 2: in the week. One episode will go through every single

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Thursday game and depth. Another episode will go through every

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: single Friday game in depth. We do that Tuesday player

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: prop release show on Wednesday Big Bets on Campus podcast

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: Regulus in the podcast, and then we'll have live shows

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Thursday and Saturday going through all the games in our

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: favorite bets. But duck. Any key takeaways from the bracket release.

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Happy very early Christmas.

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: You know, I thought it was a pretty fair draw

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: all around. I didn't see anything real shocking. The bubble

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: teams that would gripe, particularly in the Mountain West like

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: San Diego State in New Mexico, really didn't have a

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: real strong leg to stand on. And I thought that

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: they placed Miami of Ohio fairly in the first four.

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: I was glad that they got in. I think it's

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: an appropriate placement in Dayton. The matchups are really going to.

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: Be really fun.

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad they didn't pit a couple of darling potential

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: Cinderellas against each other in the first round, particularly teams

45
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: like Saint Mary's Saint Louis Santa Clara are not head

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: to head against each other right away.

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 5: I thought the Big Ten.

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: Was a winner in this draw. With the way that

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: some of these teams were placed. Purdue Illinois Nebraska received

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: some favorable draws. I thought Ohio States draw is fair.

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: I thought it was a good job by the committee

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 5: this season.

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: Really nothing out landish to just throw your arms up

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: and say, oh my gosh, I can't believe that they

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: did this.

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 5: I thought it was good.

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: How boring, But that's your take Christian first, what's on

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: your mouth and any key takeaways?

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 6: It's my March mustache, and my key takeaways are kind

60
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 6: of agreeing.

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 7: Nobody snubbed. I feel like last year it has always

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 7: been like, what the hell?

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 6: I can't believe that team didn't get in, Like last

64
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 6: year's West Virginia. I feel like SMU got that back

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 6: in the day a few years ago when they deserve

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 6: to make it. But the biggest thing that made me

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 6: jump out of my chair is Vandy getting.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 7: A five seed, like.

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: And St. John's too.

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I mean St. John's and Yukon in the

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 6: same region. If you are the Big East, you're not

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 6: very happy about that. You know, if those two teams

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 6: were able to make the leade eight, they have to

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: play each other. But yeah, Vandy getting a five is nuts.

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: I will say though I do like their draw. I

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 6: think getting Nebraska is the four and in a one

77
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 6: seed they've already beaten and are familiar with, so it

78
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 6: all kind of works out. But a five is crazy.

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 6: Their predictive metrics were super good. They'd be a ton

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 6: of tournament teams the non con two.

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 7: I don't understand what's work with their resume.

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: I have better things to do than to become a

83
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 6: bracketology expert, because there's one hundred people doing that, and

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 6: you know, they all got the same sixty eight teams.

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 6: So I'm happy everyone spent their time that way. Thank

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 6: you to our bracketology friends. We like someone tell them

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 6: why Vandy's a five. I don't understand.

88
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Vandy was gonna be a three, and

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: we talked about this. The difference between a three and

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: a four or five is huge because of that one,

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: you get in the sweet sixteen instead of the Elite eight.

92
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: They just beat Florida on a neutral They also had

93
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: a key injury. One of their best players was out

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: for an extended period of time, which explained some of

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: their law in Duke Miles, who was incredible today, Tanner

96
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: really struggle, and then you have a team like Gonzaga.

97
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: I would have though about dropping GONZAGAA be four because

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: they have one of their best players is hurt. We

99
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: don't know if he's coming back for the rest of

100
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: the year. They lost to Portland. You know, they're obviously

101
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: not in as strong of a conference. I thought Bandy

102
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: was going to get a three. Now, there's not a

103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: big difference between a four and a five, but the

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: difference between a three and then being on that four

105
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: or five line. I thought that Saint John's and Bandy

106
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: both deserved better after the week that they put together. Mike,

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: how about you.

108
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 4: Well, I would echo in terms of positivity what Duck said.

109
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: You know, no mid major versus mean major round of

110
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: sixty four that is going to immediately deplete this field

111
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 4: of a potential Cinderella Mega coaching showdown in the East.

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 4: By the way, early Iso Patino self seven national titles

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: between them in one region.

114
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty great. But I agree, I think

115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: the committee.

116
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: Hosed a few teams, you know, in that four or

117
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: five line range. I mean, Arkansas wins the SEC and

118
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: the reward is to travel two thousand miles. How many

119
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: of their fans are going to make it to Portland

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: to play against Why one of the best low major

121
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: defenses like that is not a good draw. And Saint

122
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 4: John's absolutely got hosed, like having to, you know, do

123
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: the two step of winning the Big East regular season

124
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: title and then the tournament title and then have to

125
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 4: go to San Diego to take a UNI team that

126
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: is absolutely perfect to slow that game down and try

127
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: to win something like fifty eight to fifty six.

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: The committee didn't do them any favors. I think the

129
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: committee basically was saying that the Big East.

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: Was trash this year, and that's why you know they

131
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: ended up penalizing them.

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: I think they went overboard with it.

133
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Big East was terrible this year.

134
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: But uh, I mean, I guess they couldn't put Saint

135
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: John's out of Alabama because Alabama won at Saint John's.

136
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: That maybe was part of the equation. But I'll say,

137
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: you mentioned the coaching in the East the West, the

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: offense in the West, and a lack of defense just

139
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: jumped off the page. To me, sending UCLA to Philly

140
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: is hilarious. After all the Mick Cronin rants and if

141
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: you see like keeps winning, they're gona have to stay

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: out East the entire time, which obviously we have to

143
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 2: keep an eye on the injuries for UCLA. Everyone says

144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: everyone is available before the bracket release and everyone healthy.

145
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: So we'll see how healthy UCLA is because it seems

146
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: like they're peaking at the right time. But if they

147
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: make Iran more potential Mick Cronin rants, and yeah, a

148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: potential Vandy Florida Sweet sixteen rematch would be electric after

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: what we saw on Saturday, and I really thought Vandy

150
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: Vandy would have won. I mean, Arkansas shot thirteen of

151
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: twenty four from three. You're not going to beat anyone

152
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: doing that. But they're peaking at the right time in

153
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: a very dangerous team. I'm sure Florida was not happy

154
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: to see them as the four. But let's get into

155
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: that aforementioned East region. In the East we pull off,

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: we have Duke as the one seed, Yukon as the

157
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: two duck first looks favorite bets. What are you seeing

158
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: in the East?

159
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Cien is really going to struggle

160
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: against Duke's defense. Duke's going to be getting some of

161
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: their guys back, and Siena is going to have to

162
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: just be absolutely and slow.

163
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: I think Duke's gonna play that.

164
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: Way as well, just like they did during all three

165
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: of their ACC Tournament championship games. Sienna has played nobody

166
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: that's anywhere close to the caliber of defense that Duke has.

167
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: They played Indiana and the non conference scored sixty points.

168
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: I just think it's gonna be really tough for Sienna

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: to find good looks. I don't think they'll be able

170
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: to get into the lane at all. They should have

171
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: very little at the line, and Duke is just gonna play.

172
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: They're comfortable playing in these slow paced, sixty two possession games.

173
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: They should win this game by at least twenty points.

174
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: But I just can't imagine there's a real ton of

175
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: urgency to get up and down for Duke, and Sienna

176
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: just absolutely cannot play that way. They're gonna have to

177
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: really truncate the game down. They're gonna try to make

178
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: some outside shots, and they're gonna have to to try

179
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: to have a chance, which they really don't have. But

180
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: not a real strong offensive team. In the totality of

181
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: this tournament, this should be an under one thirty six

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: and a half.

183
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm going low, yeah, I mean they're gonna need. The

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: one thing I'll say with Sienna Duke, I mean, we

185
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: don't know how healthy Duke is going to be. That

186
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: is certainly a question. The one thing I will say,

187
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: Sienna want like they are capable of just living in

188
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: the mid range. That's their strength. I think their top

189
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: forty and mid range of temporary mid range percentage, and

190
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: obviously this is a different caliber, but that's Duke's defense

191
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: kind of encourages that. I think their bottom twenty mid

192
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: range a temporate allowed. You're not going to score at

193
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: the rim. Sianna is certainly not going to score at

194
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: the rim against Duke. But the one thing I really

195
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: worry about Sienna here is they will really miss Antonio Chandler.

196
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: Not that he would have stopped loser, but like he's

197
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: just a physical body. Now you get coil more coil.

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll hit some threes to keep them within the spread.

199
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: But Sienna now is down that they're they're playing like

200
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: five guys. That's it they played. They had in the

201
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: Mac Championship they played, I think Christian Jones their backup

202
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: point are played four minutes or five minutes and then

203
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: the rest.

204
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: How are they players only like.

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: Foul trouble against Duke in the inside? How are they

206
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: gonna How are they going to last? Because if they

207
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 2: get in foul trouble, if Dodie gets in foul like

208
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: their toast, and then it could get really ugly. So

209
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: are you looking at the under there? Christian East takeaways.

210
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 6: Always seems like one region. After this selection show, I'm like, damn,

211
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: that's by far the best region. And that was what

212
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 6: I thought about the East. There's a lot of matchups

213
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 6: where I'm really split on and when I think of

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 6: who has a shot to take down Duke in Yukon,

215
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 6: like I lean, I think UCLA can beat Yukon and

216
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 6: I think TCU can be Duke. But then I'm like, well,

217
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 6: is UCLA gonna get by UCF in his? Is tcunna

218
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: get by a higher state? So that's from a bracket perspective,

219
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 6: what can be so confusing? My best bet, though, is

220
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 6: going to be everyone's kind of favorite upset. I assume

221
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 6: South Florida over Louisville. The MIKEL Brown Stuff is whatever.

222
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 6: I don't really think my cap changes that much whether

223
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 6: he plays or not, just because he's been so in

224
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 6: and out and it's not like there was a time

225
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 6: frame where they were clearly much better with him. But

226
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 6: and I think he'll want to play, and he's a

227
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 6: dude that can obviously go for thirty five and just

228
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 6: go crazy with South Florida's playing such good basketball, man.

229
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 6: I don't think Hodgson and his coaching search has impacted

230
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 6: this team really at all, because it's an old team

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 6: and anyone who's good is coming with him wherever he goes.

232
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 7: I would assume the Vibes are really good.

233
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 6: Offensively, they're super fun and play a style that can

234
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 6: score against high major teams, and then defensively they've been

235
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 6: even better. I would be a little bit worried of,

236
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 6: you know, in a typical upset, is there a big

237
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 6: advantage on the interior for the Power Conference school. I

238
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 6: don't think Frew or Zugris is that good, and Isaiah

239
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: and Nelson's really good, and if you're not going to

240
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 6: overwhelm them there, I don't see Reelouisville has a strong

241
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 6: edge in this game.

242
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 7: They're just a slightly better backcourt.

243
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: You know, with Conwell and mikel that might be under selling,

244
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 6: though of course those are two NBA players. A lot

245
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 6: of you're picking in a probably NBA player against just

246
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 6: really good guards on USF. But you're getting six and

247
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 6: a half points against two similarly style teams South flid

248
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 6: it will be comfortable and they can play with them

249
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 6: for sure.

250
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I will say Louisville screams. You know

251
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: a team that can be upset early, right, They're they're

252
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: kind of soft in the interior. They've struggled in these

253
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: Q one games. Not the same team away from home.

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: They're three point reliant. They have issues on defense. But

255
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: South Florida ken struggle with catch and shoot offenses. That's

256
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: not great against Lowell and Louisville's the ultimate. You know,

257
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: they're variance team, right with the amount of threes that

258
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: they shoot. So a upset pick in your bracket, a

259
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: money line look on South Florida I think is certainly

260
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: worth checking out. I will here's a question for you.

261
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: In the East. You mentioned the bracket decisions, so I

262
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: think John's is Saint John's is underseeded like they at

263
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: the five. Kansas is super dangerous, you know. They the

264
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: range of outcomes for Kansas is enormous, like on their

265
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: best day, and like you think about John's and Kansas,

266
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: they have the interior to battle Duke inside, right, just

267
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: like the physicality, the front line, the rim defense. And

268
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: then if Duke isn't one hundred percent healthy, they're definitely

269
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: more vulnerable. We saw that in the ACC tournament. But

270
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: then I look at the bottom half of the bracket

271
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,479
Speaker 2: and this is where I think Yukon is a fraudulent

272
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 2: one to two. I like they have issues. This is

273
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: not lots of issues what we'll get into in the

274
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: podcast this week. I think Michigan State's a vulnerable three

275
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: with their offense, especially if they can't get out in transition.

276
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: But then who do I have coming out of there.

277
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: I don't trust Louisville. And then I don't know if

278
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: UCLA like I would, I think I would take you

279
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: to my bracket, but I don't know if they're fully healthy.

280
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: So that that bottom half of the bracket is a

281
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: and it's going to be all week. Calbary's what are

282
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: you saying so.

283
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: To go through I think we have to talk about

284
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Duke's health.

285
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: You know, Gungba is supposed to come back, or at

286
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 4: least he's projected to come back at some point in

287
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: either the round of sixty four or round to thirty two.

288
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 4: But Foster's the bigger piece because apparently they leaked it

289
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: to the committee or at least beat writers that they

290
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: anticipate he's going to come back deeper in the tournament.

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: So what does that mean.

292
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: Does that mean that he's there for the second weekend

293
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: the Elite eight? Do they have to wait until potentially

294
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: to get to the final four, Because that makes a

295
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: big difference obviously, But I still think they're the safest

296
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: bet because I'm not enamored with yukon the guard play,

297
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: just I think got exposed in some of their losses

298
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: down the stretch, and it can be difficult for them

299
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: to run offense in the half court without anyone necessarily

300
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: penetrating against these better teams.

301
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: As I back it up, though, let's talk about this, I.

302
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: Think Duke's Sweet sixteen game would be harder than their

303
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: Elite A game.

304
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I agree with that as well, assuming that it's

305
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: either Kansas or Saint John's in a spot like that,

306
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: you know, looking at that Saint John's game though I

307
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: brought it up from the top up Northern Iowa. I'll

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: take them plus nine and a half and under one

309
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty two and a half as the same

310
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: game parlay.

311
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a correlated outcome, you know, sending this

312
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: team out west.

313
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: They played one you know, pocket of games when they

314
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: played in the Players Era, which was out in Vegas.

315
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: They went one and two. They had a poor showing

316
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: against Auburn and Northern Iowa.

317
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: As we know, they played great defense, they protect the rock,

318
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: which kind of throws off what Saint John's wants to

319
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: do in terms of easy looks. In transition, the Panthers

320
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: are fifteenth in giveaways in the entire country. They they

321
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: ran with Saint Mary's, they played a low scoring rock

322
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: fight with them, they end up losing by five. And

323
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: Ben Jacobson, I mean, he knows the lay of the

324
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: land in this tournament. This is going to be his

325
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: ninth tournament game, so I don't think there's necessarily going

326
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: to be a situation where the lights are too bright

327
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: for him or this program.

328
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go ahead and take the points.

329
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: You know, Saint John's oft to prove it to me.

330
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: That this, you know, this travel spot and the potential

331
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: emotional come down off the Big East Tournament final, which

332
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 4: was absolutely electric. You know they're playing Biggie hypnotize me

333
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: for the intros, like the aura of the crowd, everything

334
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 4: to go to a potential spot at Vieja's against a

335
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: team that they should beat by double digits. I think

336
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: this one just screams like a five or six point

337
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: win where all of a sudden in crunch time ken

338
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: Saint John's knock down perimeter shots. I think that's obviously

339
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: their issue with their overall ceiling, because yes, they made

340
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 4: him at the Garden when everybody was feeling great, but

341
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: can they do it? I mean, historically, you know they

342
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: have it under Patino and this year they barely crack

343
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: thirty three percent from long range. So does that bite

344
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: him in the first round money line? Probably not, But

345
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to lay up to ten points with them.

346
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love Northern Iowa. I took it. Aron number

347
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: took a bad number. This number jumped, But I now

348
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: Saint John's could just overwhelm them with their physicality and athleticism.

349
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: But this is the worst. I think this is the

350
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: worst possible matchup for Saint John's. Why Northern Iowa is

351
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: the I think the second or third slowest team in

352
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: the country. They pack it in, pack it in on defense, right,

353
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: you make you shoot from the outside. Not a strong

354
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: suit of Saint John's. They are very good on the

355
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: defensive glass because they pack everything in. They don't allow

356
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: anything in transition. This is a very veteran connected group.

357
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: I mean they are third in minutes continuity coming into

358
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: the year. They I think they're also under seated. And

359
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: if you look at what they've done since they've gotten

360
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: fully healthy, you know they've lost Tristan Smith for a while.

361
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: He's super important on both sides of the ball. So

362
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: this is just gonna be a grinder where points are

363
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: at a premium, and I think it's just a bad

364
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: matchup for Saint John's. Now, maybe the physicality and the

365
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: athleticism is too much, but we've seen these Valley teams

366
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: hang before, so I like that look as well. And

367
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: then I'll say I like TCU catching the points. I

368
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: just think this is a tough matchup for Thornton. I

369
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be able to control the game,

370
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure I trust everyone else on Ohio State.

371
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: TCU has been a big game team all year, and

372
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: this Ohio State team maybe a little bit of three

373
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: point regression. They've been red hot of late, but I

374
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: like I like the way this TCU team has looked

375
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: down the stretch. Ohio State has been much better. But

376
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: I think it's tough, tough matchup for Bruce Doort in,

377
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: tough draw for Ohio State in general. I think be

378
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: the same against Duke. So yeah, I like TCU in

379
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: the first round catching a bucket. So that's what I'm

380
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: looking at in the East. Anyone of the hot take

381
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: of actually no, we'll get the we'll get your final

382
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: fours at the end. But first, what if sports were

383
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,040

399
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: let's move on to the Midwest, where Michigan is the

400
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: one seed, Iowa State is the two, Virginia is the three,

401
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: Alabama is the four, Texas Tech is the five. A

402
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: lot of you know, like, you have Texas Tech injuries,

403
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: you have Alabama and their questionable defense. Iowa State seems

404
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: to be surging at the right time. Virginia as well.

405
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: That bottom half is gonna be very interesting. But duck

406
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: what he's seeing in the Midwest.

407
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Eileen Akron, I would have really liked this

408
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: play if they were a little bit more interested in

409
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: the first half and in their against Toledo, and they

410
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 3: really struggled unnecessarily in all three of their Mac games

411
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: to win the Mac. But Akron has so many athletic

412
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: dudes at all five positions. They've got guys who can

413
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: hit the three. I think that they will actually match

414
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: up okay in the pain against Texas Tech. This is

415
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: a game where I think Tech will really miss their

416
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: dude JT.

417
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: Top And who was obviously after the season.

418
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean Akrons had several lase fair defensive

419
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: performances in a row. But I think Ross will really

420
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: have these guys play up in this setting, and we'll

421
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: see a stronger defensive effort from Akron here.

422
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: And they played with some chaos, right.

423
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: They force a little pressure, they can press a little bit,

424
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: they force turnovers, and if you miss a shot and

425
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: you're getting a long rebound against Akron, it's it is

426
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: immediate into the front court.

427
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 5: And they're getting to the rim in three seconds.

428
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: And that'll be interesting to see how Texas Tech will

429
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 3: handle some of that fast break style play that Akron

430
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: seeks to run out on. I think the Zips can

431
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: hand here. I'm going to look for a prop on

432
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: Virginia to advance to the Elite eight. I think that

433
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: Virginia is a team that can just create a lot

434
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: of problems for the opponents that they line up with

435
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: on their side of the bracket, the shot blockers and

436
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: the rim protectors that they have. They've got shooters that

437
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: can hit shots against everybody but Duke. It's just a

438
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: button up team that I think is playing good basketball

439
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: at this point. I think Virginia is a team that

440
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 3: I want to buy high on here to advance deep

441
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: into this bracket.

442
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Akron as well. I think top it'll

443
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: be sorely missed, a lot of respect for McCaslin, and

444
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: like you might have something here. But Gross is also

445
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: an excellent attorney coach. We saw that this past week.

446
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: I think he changed the game in the second half

447
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: when he went one three one and it cost some turnovers,

448
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: got some key stops. He's seven and three against the

449
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: spread in the NCAA Tournament, covering by about four and

450
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: a half points per game. MAC teams, by the way,

451
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: catching seven plus or ten and five against the spread

452
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: over the past twenty years. Trivia question, which which conference

453
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: nonpower conference is the as the highest ri MAC is

454
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: second teams seventh plus. Nope, you gotta guess.

455
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: Over how long, over how long, over the best twenty years,

456
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: which non Power Conference.

457
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, underdog seven plus which team which this conference I

458
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 2: think is eleven and two Atech? So gone, you're interested

459
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: in Furman, But yeah, I think Texas Tech's pick and

460
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: roll defense seventh percentile efficiency on ninety first percentile frequency.

461
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: That's not great versus vari Johnson and company. Now, look,

462
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: your Texte's gonna get a ton of catch and shoot

463
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: threes yet, which is scary against Akron, And if they're

464
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: all falling, which they certainly could, then you know it's

465
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: going to be tougher. But Ackron has the they have

466
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 2: high major athleticism, they have shooters all over. They can

467
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: keep up here, and maybe we see some Texas Tech

468
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 2: three point shooting repression plus eleven percent net since since

469
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: February first, second highest in the tournament behind Howard is

470
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 2: running like plus thirteen. So yeah, I think Akron has

471
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: the dudes to keep up here and top and will

472
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: be sorely missed. So I like Akron as well. Christen,

473
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: you're looking at the other side of this and you're

474
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: taking Texas Tech to make this sweek sixteen.

475
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm not really interested in laying the seven

476
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: a half. I love Acron. I totally see the case

477
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 6: with them, it makes a lot of sense. I just

478
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 6: want to look at Texas Tech and use what they

479
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 6: did last year the tournament as an example. First round

480
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 6: against UNC Wilmington, it took forty six threes. Kerwin Walton

481
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 6: took nineteen threes. Elijah Hawkins took twelve threes. They're unique

482
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 6: of they might get so many this game, right, it's

483
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 6: unique of a team like.

484
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 7: To be in their mold.

485
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 6: That's as good as they are in terms of a

486
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 6: team that beat Houston Duke in Arizona this year. Like

487
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 6: the way they want to play, it's not the same

488
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 6: style of like in Alabama, like a pure just like

489
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 6: rim and three. It's just the way that they pick

490
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 6: a part of defense and generate shots. It's they're not

491
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 6: going to overwhelm, especially without a bully like topping like.

492
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 6: It's just precision. Is it kind of a world used

493
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 6: to describe it. And I'm pretty sure I've heard some

494
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 6: good words on Christian Anderson's health. That's not something I'm

495
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 6: worried about here. And Alabama just hasn't been playing great

496
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 6: basketball this year. I think it's like a kind of

497
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 6: by low on Texas Tech, a team that since February first,

498
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 6: which a decent chunk of that has been no top

499
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 6: and they're the sixth best team on Torvik top fourteenth offensively,

500
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 6: twenty fifth defensively, and they don't get to the free

501
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 6: throw line. You know that they have some weaknesses, and

502
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 6: I understand that elite three point offense and defense, and

503
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 6: some of that may seem luck or doe for aggression,

504
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 6: but they're just the type of team that I want

505
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: to bank on in a tournament setting. And I think

506
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: not having to worry about laying points and just getting

507
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 6: them right to the sweet sixteen when I think they're

508
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: the best team in this pod is a nice little

509
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 6: bet at plus money.

510
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: I have no idea what I'm taking to get out

511
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 2: of that pod. Texas Tech with their injuries, I think

512
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: Akron is live in that game. But I don't know

513
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: if I feel confident enough in my bracket Calabama. I

514
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 2: don't trust like Alabama can lose to anybody. They also

515
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: could be to anyone. Just super high variants, lots of three.

516
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: There's a ton of threes in that little pod, a

517
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: lot of three point variants. Mike, you're looking at the

518
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: eight nine in the Midwest.

519
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: So what's nice is I think everybody was on Saint

520
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 4: Louis the story. I mean, they opened what twenty four

521
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: and one, and a big part of it is the

522
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: three point ball. You know, for the first twenty five

523
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: games of the season, they were plus ten percent of

524
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: the differential between their three point shooting and their opponents.

525
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: And then in the last month, just every piece of

526
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 4: bad luck kind of hit this team. They're giving up

527
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: thirty seven percent from deep. They end up taking a

528
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 4: bunch of losses. I was so concerned in that first

529
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: half against George Washington in the A ten Tournament. But

530
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 4: they turn it around, they get their mojo back a

531
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: little bit. They lose a game, you know, that was

532
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: a coin flip at the end against a Dayton team.

533
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 4: I think they're coming in here a little bit underrated

534
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: against this Georgia team, So I'll go ahead and take

535
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: them at plus money plus one twenty five. I mean,

536
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: I think they're drawing a rebounds or a team that

537
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 4: cannot rebound in Georgia, which is interesting because Slew's offensive

538
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 4: ceiling is super high if you factor in double digit

539
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: offensive rebounds on top of it.

540
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: You got to remember, even with that late season swoon, they.

541
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 4: Still finished third in shooting efficiency, so I look at

542
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 4: it as getting those extra possessions can be the difference maker. Obviously,

543
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 4: Thames off the bench is one of the best six

544
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: men in this entire tournament. I just think this is

545
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: the perfect BILO spot on them. You know, they have

546
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 4: a coach that they just re upped, who's going to

547
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: be locked in. I think this is a veteran team

548
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 4: that's played really good basketball for long stretches of this season,

549
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: and at one point, you know, they were kind of

550
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 4: flirting with a five or six seed if things had

551
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 4: continued on in the A ten, and like I said,

552
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: they hit that rough patch. But I think we're the

553
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 4: beneficiaries against the Georgia team that if they do give

554
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: up fifteen offensive rebounds, I don't see a path to

555
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: victory for the Bulldogs.

556
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm conflicted on this game. I think I'm going

557
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: to spend all night in the next couple of days

558
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: going through all these matchups. But I am a bit

559
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: worried about the press, George's press just disrupting Saint Louis

560
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: and then you know, basically just kind of preventing them

561
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: from getting into their elite offense in the half court.

562
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: But then what happens with surreal Currell on the other side, Like,

563
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: because Avalla can just draw him out, Like, where does

564
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: he fit in this?

565
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 4: If he's consistently with his back to the basket fifteen

566
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: feet away trying to check Avila, then where does their

567
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 4: rebounding numbers go?

568
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: That are already horrific. So I think that's a good point.

569
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, that that is a super interesting game. Can

570
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: any of the can either of those teams give Michigan trouble?

571
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: I mean, like Michigan is turnover prone. Can the Georgia

572
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: Press maybe give them some issues to Saint Louis shot making?

573
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, they would get they would get crushed inside. Yeah,

574
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: it's why it's hard to see Michigan not getting through.

575
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: It's hard to see Michigan not getting to the elite

576
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: eight here. Anyone want to disagree?

577
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 5: No, I think Michigan's a shoe into the regional final.

578
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: Yep, uh, Christian, you said you just sent me a

579
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: know was this old that you changed your You have no.

580
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: No, you know.

581
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: I was also on St. Louis.

582
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 6: I just pivoted to Texas Tech Cut because I like

583
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 6: made a lot of the points I was gonna.

584
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: Make gotcha anything else in the Midwest. I mean we

585
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: didn't really touch on the bottom half. I'll go around

586
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: the horn. As of right now, here's an interesting decision point.

587
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: I think for a lot of people, I mean Virginia, Tennessee,

588
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: Iowa State, Kentucky. If Kentucky gets by, Like, who do

589
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: you as of right now, who do you have going

590
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: to the regional final on the bottom half, If you

591
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: had to choose Christian like I could say a lot

592
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: of people are gonna have I would state a lot

593
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: of people are gonna have Virginia. You'll probably have some Tennessee,

594
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: some Kentucky. That's a very interesting pod if you have

595
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: to pick right now, howo you going with?

596
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 6: I think Iowa State might have the easiest path to

597
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 6: this s Week sixteen of like arguably any one or

598
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 6: two that might be a little extream, But like I

599
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 6: don't think I think they're going to beat the crap

600
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 6: out of Kentucky or Santa Clara, But I think Virginia

601
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 6: is constructed to beat them, and then versus Tennessee, that

602
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 6: could just be like I could expect you to Kobe

603
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 6: Jellspie just.

604
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 7: Being in hell for that game. But it could be

605
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 7: so low scoring, gritty than anything can happen.

606
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 6: I think Virginia has the most balanced attack offensively, which

607
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: is kind of really strong to have over Iowa State,

608
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 6: just the way they can move the ball in space

609
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 6: the floor. So I think Virginia definitely has the best

610
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 6: shot at them. But to be honest, I think Iowa

611
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: State in Virginia are two teams. I wasn't super high

612
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 6: on making a deep run going into the tournament, so

613
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 6: then to see them, it's like, well, I have to

614
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 6: put one of them in my lead eight. I don't

615
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 6: see myself getting to any other team.

616
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are two teams and I probably would have

617
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: had in my lead eight if they weren't in the

618
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 2: same region or in the same pod. I mean, Virginia

619
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee would be a war at the rim on. Yensu

620
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: was ridiculous, dude. When he was on the floor. They

621
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: had a forty five block rate against Duke. I mean

622
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous.

623
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 3: There's not fourteen blocks between the two of them against Duke.

624
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was incredible. Deriver was bad, but

625
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: was incredible. Stuck.

626
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: You to add to that point about Virginia versus Iowa State,

627
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: sometimes when I'm in a bracket making setting, when I'm

628
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 6: stuck and I don't know at that matchup, I just

629
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 6: try to think, who do I think is more likely

630
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 6: to just get to the sweet sixteen. And I'm much

631
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 6: more confident Iowa State getting to the sweet sixteen than Virginia,

632
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 6: as in, it's more likely that Virginia is. If Virginia

633
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: gets it, they're gonna have to play. I would say

634
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 6: not to Kentucky or Santa Clair. If Iowa State could

635
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 6: play a Tennessee or who even knows, maybe one of

636
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 6: the elevens.

637
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say Wright State is top fifty in

638
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: near proximity attempt to rate per Haslo Metrics. They're a

639
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: ninety five percentile rim oriented offense. Good luck against Virginia.

640
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be getting.

641
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 2: Duck. Who are you taking out of there?

642
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've got that written down to I'm gonna

643
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: look to bet the right state team total in the

644
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: opening round here. You know, I think Virginia and Iowa

645
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: State very likely that they meet in the sweet sixteen.

646
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 5: But SMU is getting be likely getting.

647
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: BJ Edwards back, and those guys can already took Virginia

648
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: to the wire. I think they can beat Tennessee if

649
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: they advanced from Dayton and SMU is a team that

650
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: I think it wouldn't wouldn't terribly shock me if they

651
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: went on some sort of a run where they won

652
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: two or three games and really started to make some noise.

653
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: I'm not going to bet on it or call for

654
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: it here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see SMU

655
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: win two games in this tournament minimum.

656
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: I think before he's on, who you got going from

657
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: the bottom hand.

658
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: Virginia Virginia.

659
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: Before I get your opinion, Michae, let's go ahead to head.

660
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: You like s MU in the plan?

661
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

662
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: I do.

663
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: I like my Ohiah. I think so the way to

664
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: I think my Iile got a dream matchup. Also, I

665
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: don't know if Bjedwards is super important. I don't know

666
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: if he's fully healthy, but like they obviously just said

667
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: that in case, you know, they had to say that,

668
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: but he didn't play over the weekend when they were

669
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: playing for their attorney live, so we don't know how

670
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: healthy is So I think that that's number one. Number

671
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: two mimam Ohio proximity. They're gonna have fans here, They're

672
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: gonna play the disrespect card. They're gonna be like, oh

673
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: we were, we went undefeated and have to go to Dayton.

674
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: And I just think it's a decent matchup. And the

675
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: SMU defense is horrendous and like Miami can shoot all

676
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: day on them. They're gonna get open looks. And where

677
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: Miami can't compete with Power Conference teams is they would

678
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: get obliterated at the rim, just by anyone who has

679
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: any frontcore post dominant player that's not s m U.

680
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: S MU doesn't play at the rim. So like I

681
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: think Miami can score with I mean, SMU is gonna score,

682
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Boopy and Pierre are gonna score, but I think miama

683
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 2: I can keep up. I like the spot for them.

684
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: This SMU team seems kind of broken on defense, so

685
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: I think Miami can put up a number here. Calbary,

686
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: so do you have coming out of the bottom half,

687
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: and you got a choice MAMO higher SMU, if you

688
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: got to choose, he already played.

689
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 4: I already played Miami money line in that game. I mean,

690
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, it's thirty five miles from Oxford to Dayton,

691
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 4: that place is going to be a zoo. If they

692
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 4: get an early lead. I think all the pressure is

693
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: going to slide to Louisville in that game, you know

694
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 4: as the oral excuse me, SMU and then SMU. You

695
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: know if they do squeak by that Tennessee game. Listen,

696
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 4: Historically we've talked about it. You know, the eleven eleven

697
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: playing game has been a launching pad for teams to

698
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: go in a run before.

699
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be shocked.

700
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not the biggest Rick Barnes fan in

701
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 4: the world. I have Michigan over Virginia in the regional final,

702
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: and I'm also gonna tail duck on this one in

703
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 4: terms of getting a good number on Virginia to the

704
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: lead eight.

705
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean tennis. Now Miami had to play Tennessee.

706
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean Tennessee can just play volleyball and dunk it all.

707
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, a mens, I think we'll just have a you know,

708
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: a twenty five and fifteen kind of game.

709
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's yeah, before we move on to we're

710
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: gonna go next, We're gonna go to the South next.

711
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: But first, there is a lot of uncertainty on selection Sunday,

712
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: but one thing you can be sure about is we'll

713

Speaker 2: of Action Pro. All right, let's move on to the

724
00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: South Region where Florida is the number one seed despite

725
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: losing to Vanderbilt. But who else are you gonna you know?

726
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: Is u Comas in the conversation they get blown out.

727
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: I think Florida deserved it after their late season run.

728
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: Houston is the two seed. Interesting. In Golden's presser over

729
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: the weekend, someone asked him about the one seed and

730
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: the other teams in the running, and he said, who's

731
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: the other team? Houston? He said, Okay, now Houston's the

732
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: two in his region. Golden always interesting in his in

733
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: his pressers. But far to the one Houston, the two Illinois,

734
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: the three Nebraska, the four and Bandy, who we think

735
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: got kind of disrespected as the five. Very interesting South region.

736
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: This is like one of my favorites on paper, especially

737
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: the top half. I think it's super interesting. Duck, what

738
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: are you seeing in the South? Well?

739
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 3: I want to bet the over in Vandy McNeice. There

740
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: could be fifty fouls called in this one. McNeice is

741
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: so scrappy on the defensive end, but they play this charismatic,

742
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: chaotic Southland style defense a lot of pressure. I think

743
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: Vandy will be able to beat the press. I think

744
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: we'll be able to see them score at the rim often,

745
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be a second half foul fest. These

746
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: Southland teams always do this, and McNeese will compete and

747
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: fight in this game until the very last second. We

748
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 3: saw them actually have a lot of success with their

749
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: style last season. I think the points are coming here.

750
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: I think Vanderbilt should easily surpass eighty points. McNeese will

751
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: be in the seventies. I think this one's an overplay here.

752
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: Commonwealth can win a game in the first round. VC,

753
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: you can defeat North Carolina. That team is playing sky high.

754
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: They're all bought into their press system. They ran through

755
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: the A ten really really well there. Last one, I'll

756
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: say Houston Idaho should be an under and Idaho's team

757
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 3: total under. Specifically, Idaho played very slow in the non

758
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 3: conference against unfamiliar opponents. Once they got into Big Sky play,

759
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: we saw the Vandals ramp up the tempo a bit,

760
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 3: and they played really good defensive basketball in the Big

761
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: Sky tournament. But that's not gonna really matter against Houston.

762
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: I just really see Idaho struggling very badly against Houston's defense,

763
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: who kind of got embarrassed last night against Arizona, and

764
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: I think Kelvin Sampson will have these guys ready to go.

765
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: Houston should play really slow here, specifically looking forward to

766
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 3: a potential track meet looming with A and M, I

767
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 3: imagine we see sub sixty three total possessions here. Kelvin

768
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: Samson is a great under coach as a big favorite

769
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: in the NCAA tournaments. When he's favored by more than

770
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: twenty points and you have a total under one forty,

771
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 3: the undercash is at an alarmingly high rate.

772
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 5: I think Idaho struggles to score fifty points here.

773
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 2: McNeese Dandy's interesting, Like I it's gonna be tough for

774
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: McNeice to get stops and he doesn't turn it over.

775
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: They have multiple ball handlers. They can just live in Io.

776
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 2: They're gonna get open looks and you know they're gonna

777
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 2: get that the line of ton where they're elite. But like,

778
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: can McNeice match I mean, they have real power Conference

779
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 2: talent and they have guys, they have length that can

780
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: bother Tanner. We saw that today. And can they win

781
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: the shot volume battle? Because they also don't turn it over?

782
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: You know, Dandy forces a lot of turnovers. Dandy's not

783
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 2: great on the offensive glass, which is where mcneise is

784
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: super vulnerable. And mcneise is pretty good on the offensive glass.

785
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: So can they you know, can they just win the

786
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 2: shot volume battle? And in order to keep that close?

787
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: It's a super interesting matchup that I got to dive

788
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: into some more Christian What are you seeing in this region?

789
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 6: I spoke off the top about Vanderbilt, who I've just

790
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 6: gone to bat for all season. Had them to beat Florida,

791
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 6: you know, yesterday. But do I think they can make

792
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 6: the final four here?

793
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 7: Yes?

794
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: I do.

795
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 6: I would not want. I mean, it's tough to go

796
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 6: beat Florida second time. I mean and then probably have

797
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 6: to play at Houston or in Illinois. But Stuck, I

798
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 6: know you like them almost as much as I do.

799
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 6: My favorite thing about this region is this Saint Mary's

800
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 6: Texts A and M matchup, Like.

801
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: This is the biggest contrast you could ever imagine, the.

802
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 7: Biggest contract you could ever imagine.

803
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 6: This is the third straight game Saint Mary's played in

804
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 6: the NCA Tournament against an SEC team, because last year

805
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 6: they played Vandy and then Alabama. So it's interesting when

806
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 6: you when you think about their ability to implement their

807
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 6: style against teams and athletes from such a contrasting league,

808
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 6: and it's kind of like, I don't know, will TEXT

809
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 6: and M be able to really create havoc. Vanderbilt was

810
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 6: up at half, but that game was a slog and

811
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 6: it finished in the fifties. That Vannerbil team could shoot

812
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 6: nearly as well as they could this year in A

813
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 6: and M can really light it up. So and Vanderbilt

814
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 6: when they played Saint Mary's in the Bahamas this year,

815
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 6: they won. They scored like ninety six points on them,

816
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 6: So that to me was like a vote of confidence

817
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 6: in A and M. But my favorite play in this

818
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 6: region is probably Vandy to make the Sweet sixteen. I

819
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 6: think McNeese has absolutely no chance against them. I know

820
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 6: McNeese in it with different personnel and a different coach,

821
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 6: of course, but a similar style was able to be

822
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 6: clumbs last year, where clums and literally couldn't make a shot.

823
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 6: Vandy's just too too under control and too smart, and

824
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 6: the guard plays too good. I don't see McNee be

825
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 6: able to create chaos against them, and then Troy.

826
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 7: I'll talk about later.

827
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 6: I think that they're alive to make some noise against Nebraska,

828
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 6: but with Nebraska with such a high three point attempt

829
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 6: rate allowed, I think Vanderbilt can eat on that as

830
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 6: well as as good as in skilled, as masked and

831
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 6: buked and Joe are as bigs. Those not the type

832
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 6: of bigs that really will punish Vanderbilt like or the

833
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 6: type of athleticism you saw like Texas and Arkansas and

834
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 6: games that got away from them. So I feel really

835
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 6: good about Vandy making at least the Sweet sixteen and

836
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 6: giving Florida their best shot in Elidite for sure.

837
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Vandy goes to the Sweet sixteen as well,

838
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: and it is gonna be tough to beat Florida a

839
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: second time. But they're certainly capable. I mean they're they're

840
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: they're big as long as they're bigs are making shots.

841
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: We saw the mismatches and they put up ninety something

842
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: the first time too, so obviously they have something on

843
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: that defense. Uh. That would be a hell of a

844
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 2: sweet sixteen. Hard to see Clemson or Iowa taking off Florida.

845
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: So just a matter of uh, if Vanderbilt can get there,

846
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: uh to give us a rematch, I will say in

847
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 2: regards in the in that bottom half, Yeah, Saint Mary's

848
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 2: text Sanem, I don't know. I gotta dig deep in there.

849
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: Tex Sanem has stopped like turning teams over, which is

850
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: why they've kind of cratered. Uh late in the season.

851
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: I wish I could filter, but it seems like everyone

852
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: is on Torvik after the bracket came out. It's just

853
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 2: servers are cooked right now. I can't do anything. But

854
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's did struggle some with Santa Clara, which is

855
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: I think the best league camp for AMM. They'll extend

856
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: pressure and and and turn you over and not in

857
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: the neutral gaming on the road. They struggled so with

858
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: the press and pressure. So that's a very interesting game.

859
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: If we do get Saint Mary's Houston, we'll talk about

860
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 2: a brutal watch Calbarese. What are you seeing in the South?

861
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: Lots of different thoughts. Let's start with Houston.

862
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lay a big number, or I should say

863
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to put a lot on them in the

864
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 4: first half against Idoh, I think it's a lamb to

865
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: the slaughter situation. They're only laying eleven and a half

866
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 4: in the first half.

867
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Sign me up for that.

868
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: The same Mary's game that you guys have been discussing.

869
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that the total is sitting at one forty

870
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 4: eight and a half. I think that's the market kind

871
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: of saying that even though Saint Mary's is favored, they're

872
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 4: still kind of predicting an A and M game in

873
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: terms of, you know, the contrast of tempo going a

874
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 4: little bit more their way. Saint Mary's ten of their

875
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 4: last thirteen games went under, including both against Santa Clara,

876
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 4: a team that wanted to score at a higher rate.

877
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 4: So I think I'm going to be on under and

878
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 4: probably a same game parlay with the Gales.

879
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 5: In that one.

880
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 4: We talked about it a lot already, so I don't

881
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 4: have all that much to add with McNeice. I'm going

882
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 4: to go ahead and take the points. I don't think

883
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: they're gonna win thing out right, but if they do

884
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 4: win the turnover battle and they're able to, you know,

885
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 4: be plus five or six in that regard, I think

886
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 4: they're going to hang around.

887
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: I think the country's going to get.

888
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 4: Used to hearing Larry Johnson's name because he's going to

889
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 4: put up thirty shots in this game.

890
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: I think he took twenty seven in the Southland semifinals.

891
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: He's the go to guy.

892
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 4: He was a four star recruit. He and major offers

893
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 4: from every power school in the country. Goes to Creighton,

894
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 4: sits out a year Red Shirts, and then lands at McNeice.

895
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 4: And they've been the beneficiaries, which is super rare. In

896
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 4: the nil portal era, everything is, you know, the schools

897
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 4: with money plucking guys from the lower ranks. This was

898
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 4: finally a story that went.

899
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: The other way.

900
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 4: I think that they won a very good league, at

901
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 4: least by low major standards. They had to go through

902
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 4: Stephen F. Austin on absolutely you know, no turnaround rest.

903
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 4: They had a triple overtime game and then went right

904
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 4: into that game with the Lumberjacks and we're able to

905
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 4: pull it out. And speaking of energy, how much did

906
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 4: Vandy you know, spend in terms of their tank to

907
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 4: then turn around three games in three days and then

908
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 4: have to play on Thursday right away.

909
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: In Oklahoma City. I'm going to go ahead and take

910
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: the points.

911
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to prove to me that their legs

912
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: are fresh and they're knocking down all their jumpers because

913
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: if they do, obviously they'll win this one by twenty plus.

914
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 4: But I think McNeice can be, you know, kind of

915
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 4: that fly that just will not go away for forty

916
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 4: minutes and they end up winning it by six or

917
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 4: seven points.

918
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say historically in regards to that Houston bet,

919
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: historically these Big Sky teams have not fared well in

920
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: the Dance. I think the last team to win a

921
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: game was Montana and like seven six, it's been almost

922
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 2: twenty years, maybe it was oh five against Boston College.

923
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 2: Maybe they have not farewell. They just they're just not

924
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 2: physical enough, they can't defend. And then you have Houston, who,

925
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: historically over the past five years under Sampson, has ludgend

926
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: in these first games as big favorites. He's been a

927
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: favorite of twenty plus three times over the past five

928
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: years minus twenty and a half against Cleveland State won

929
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: by thirty one, minus twenty four, against law Would one

930
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: by forty, minus twenty eight and a half, against Siue

931
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: one by thirty eight, so three and h against the spread,

932
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: covering by twelve points per game. They usually just overwhelm

933
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: these teams in the first round. Obviously small sample, but

934
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: just thought i'd note that.

935
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 5: What is.

936
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 2: What is my look here? I guess I'm gonna mention.

937
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 2: I'll mention Iowa. I just think that Starts can cook

938
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: the Clemson picker and old defense, which is very vulnerable.

939
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 2: They lost Carter Welling, which just takes another big hurts

940
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 2: their depth a little bit. This will be a very

941
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: very very very half court game grinder. Both team's very

942
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: comfortable in the half court. There's not gonna be anything

943
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: in transition. So basically number one, I think Starts there's

944
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: some matchups advantages here, but Clemson won't get overwhelm I mean,

945
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: I will won't get overwhelmed by Clemson's athleticism, which can

946
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: be an issue. But I'll just give me McCollum and

947
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: starts in a half court battle, you get the win.

948
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: So I like Iowa to advance over Clemson. Anything else

949
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: in the South, And again we'll break down every single

950
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 2: one of the Thursday games and Friday games and two

951
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 2: separate episodes on Tuesday Big Bets on campus where you

952
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: listen to your podcasts. I think VCU can beat North

953
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: Carolina for sure, and we'll see if TJ Power can

954
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: put up forty on Illinois. What a performance today, one

955
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: of the best of all time in a conference championship.

956
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: What a weekend for Penna. And yeah, I have to

957
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: mention fran versus Illinois. There's some familiarity there that's super fun.

958
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of different storylines that are interesting

959
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 2: in the South. But let's finish things up before we

960
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: get to our final four picks with the West region

961
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: already mentioned. A ton of offense, some questionable defense in

962
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: this region. Arizona is the one seed out West, Perdue

963
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: is the two, Gonzaga is the three, Arkansas is the four,

964
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 2: Wisconsin is the five. I'll I'll throw out there. There's

965
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 2: not a game that really jumps out to me right away.

966
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 2: Without diving too deep, I will say that I already

967
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: have a piece of this. If you don't I like this,

968
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: bet I like it. I like Purdue to make the

969
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: final four, couple of regions, a couple of reasons, and

970
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: maybe an Elite eight. I haven't I haven't dove into

971
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 2: all the markets that are out and up right now,

972
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: but I saw Final four on five to one, which

973
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 2: I think is fine because I look at this region

974
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: and I think Purdue made out like bandits number one.

975
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: They're peaking at the right time, right they went through

976
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: a lull. I think that they were just we talked

977
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: about this one of the reasons on our podcasts we

978
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 2: bet Purdue to win the Big Ten tournament like this

979
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: is they they turned it on. This was the preseason

980
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: number one. As much of experience as anybody. Kloff is

981
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 2: playing a lot better. They figured out a lot of

982
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 2: things as you thought Painter would. They just destroyed cooked

983
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: what many think is the best defense in the country.

984
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean absolute destruction, ran them off the floor. They

985
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: did whatever they wanted. They're playing as well. They're peaking

986
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 2: at the right time. And then you look at their

987
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 2: draw right like you're gonna get queens. Maybe Queens can

988
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 2: score some on Purdue, right they have a beautiful offense,

989
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 2: a lot of cuts, and they maybe they can shoot

990
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: for days, draw some of their bigs out, but they're

991
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: gonna get zero stops I mean when I say the

992
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: zero stops in that game. But then they play Miami

993
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: and Missouri. Am I worried about either of those teams

994
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 2: against Perdue? Not really? And then Gonzaga probably no Huff,

995
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 2: not the same team, b Yu, no Saunders. Now maybe

996
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: devonsa get, but their defense is so bad. And then

997
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: you have Texas and c State. There's a lot of

998
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: flawed teams in this region. They made out like bandits,

999
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: I think with their draw and the way that they're playing.

1000
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: And then obviously Arizona is a better, more complete team.

1001
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: But if I had Purdue a five to one ticket

1002
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: on Purdue and they had to play Arizona in the

1003
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: Elite eight, I'd be fine with that ticket in my pocket.

1004
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: They just showed today they can beat an elite, one

1005
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: of the elites, on a neutral court, and they did

1006
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 2: it handily. But the other thing worth noting here is

1007
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: Arizona has there's a couple potential giant killers in the

1008
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: top half of the West. Right Wisconsin has shown that

1009
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 2: they can beat anybody because they can make sixteen three.

1010
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: They can make sixteen eighteen threes. They have to guard

1011
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 2: play their bigs can shoot. So I mean that can

1012
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: be problematic against Arizona. We know Arizona times. Maybe there's

1013
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 2: a math problem because if someone's hitting sixteen eighteen threes,

1014
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 2: they don't take a ton of threes. And then you

1015
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: have Arkansas. I mean that the shot making, their guard play,

1016
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 2: their athleticism there. I mean they can beat anyone on

1017
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: a good day. Now, they can lose to anyone. But

1018
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: if they're making shots and you have a cuff like,

1019
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: they can beat anybody. So if you have those two

1020
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: giant killers up in the top region, that could potentially

1021
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 2: upset at Arizona. I like Purdue to get Purdue's gonna

1022
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: be my pick to go to the Final four, and

1023
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 2: I like Purdue as a bet to make the Final four.

1024
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: Would be happy with it if they had to play Arizona.

1025
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: But there's I think there's a I think there's a

1026
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: higher there's more land mines for Arizona than there are Purdue.

1027
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: In my opinion, Duck, what you're saying in the West.

1028
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 3: I think it's a region that could procure chaos, whether

1029
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: it's in the first round or if Wisconsin and Arkansas

1030
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: and teams like that get through and don't have any trouble,

1031
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: then maybe in that second and sweet sixteen sort of rounds.

1032
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 3: But I think both High Point in Hawaii are going

1033
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 3: to be a problem. I could see either one of

1034
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 3: those two teams really forcing Wisconsin and Arkansas to squeeze

1035
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 3: the ball hard with you know, at the end of

1036
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 3: four time out in the second half. It could be

1037
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: a situation where you look up and you're down, you're tied,

1038
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: it's a real close game. Both are very very well coached,

1039
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: they're athletic. Hawaii's interior defense is strong. I think I

1040
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 3: think that both of those two opponents High Point in

1041
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: Hawaii at a minimum creative problem. From a betting angle,

1042
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 3: I want to bet Long Island's team total under the

1043
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 3: spread is thirty the totals one fifty one and a

1044
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 3: half against Arizona. Rod Strickland is gonna have the Sharks

1045
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 3: playing low and slow. They're a pretty solid defensive team

1046
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 3: relative to the NEC horrific offensive team. They can't shoot,

1047
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 3: they don't collect offensive rebounds. They've struggled to score in

1048
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 3: the seventies against ANYC competition, Chicago State, Wagner's They're not

1049
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 3: gonna score.

1050
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 5: Sixty points here.

1051
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: So when I see a team total open up lu

1052
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 3: under for team total, it's gonna be just such a struggle.

1053
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 3: You mentioned Arizona. They're not gonna shoot a ton of threes.

1054
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna be banging in the painted area. I don't

1055
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: know necessarily that we're gonna get a tremendous amount of pace,

1056
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 3: especially with an opportunity with Utah State looming in the

1057
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 3: second round. I don't know that we're gonna see a

1058
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 3: ton of pace from Arizona. Although they did do that

1059
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 3: in the non conference, I don't think.

1060
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 5: We do it here.

1061
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 3: They've really trimmed down their their tempo the last about

1062
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: two weeks of the season. Long Island is gonna struggle

1063
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 3: very very badly here. Not gonna score sixty.

1064
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: The yeah, I mean Long Island needing to score at

1065
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 2: the rim and in transition against Arizona. That's not not great.

1066
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm will say for Arkansas Hawaii, like Hawaii plays strict

1067
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 2: the strictest drop and no help, and then they're just

1068
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 2: gonna be like on Islands against a cuff.

1069
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Iran Gannot is going to continue to

1070
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 4: do media hits and be like, no help, defense, no help.

1071
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 4: I'm happy to put it on the whiteboard. They're gonna

1072
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 4: help with a cuff, like he's not gonna score sixty points,

1073
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 4: and they're gonna be like, we're gonna stick to our principles,

1074
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 4: like you gotta help. He's blowing by. You know, Bullock

1075
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: is their best perimeter defender, like best of luck, buddy,

1076
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 4: Like this guy was absolutely cooking the last month of

1077
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 4: the season. So they got to do something schematically because

1078
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 4: they have advantages in that front court.

1079
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: If they can slow him down, hold him to twenty five,

1080
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: let's call it.

1081
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe there's some after effects of Arkansas, like just

1082
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 2: some fatigue to start. I don't know. I mean they

1083
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 2: basically all played forty minutes, three games, three day. They

1084
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 2: don't go very deep. They also are they were before today,

1085
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 2: they were running a plus ten percent three point delta

1086
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: since February first, third highest in the attourney. And today

1087
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 2: they went fifteen. They had all their their brick layers,

1088
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 2: Brazil Wagner, I mean, Billy Richmond was making they went

1089
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: they went eight of twelve. Those guys are I think

1090
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 2: we're they're twenty nine percent combined on the year. So

1091
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 2: or maybe Arkansas is an off shooting night and Hawaii

1092
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 2: gets a little hot. I saw Jordan Jordan Jeski's friend

1093
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: of the podcast Great follow Uh. He mentioned the maybe

1094
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 2: Hawaii go zone they which they did against Fullerton, because

1095
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 2: I don't think that they can run their standard defense

1096
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: the entire game. They would get absolutely torched. Here, Christian,

1097
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: what are.

1098
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 6: You sing in?

1099
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: In the West?

1100
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 6: I think Arkansas on Wisconsin or two of like my

1101
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 6: favorite teams that I was looking at the past few

1102
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 6: weeks as teams that could make the Final four as

1103
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 6: a non top three seed, But I kind of disagree.

1104
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 6: I don't think either of them are real challenges for Arizona.

1105
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 6: Arizona is the team I'm most confident to make the

1106
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 6: Final four. I think they're that good. And from a

1107
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 6: match of perspective, I don't think Wisconsin in Arkansas have

1108
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 6: great advantages.

1109
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 7: My first round bet that I like.

1110
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 2: It's not great advantages. It's Wisconsin, Like Wisconsin went on

1111
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: Michigan because they made seventeen threes. Like I don't. If

1112
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 2: they make seventeen threes, they're gonna be right there. Yeah,

1113
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 2: some of the best wins in the country when they

1114
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: make the beat Illinois came back from fifteen down because

1115
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 2: they made seventeen threes. Again, that's like just the and

1116
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 2: obviously they have great guard No.

1117
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 7: I totally understand. I totally understand that Wisconsin pitch. I

1118
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 7: just don't.

1119
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 6: I just think Arizona's on another level and I think,

1120
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, I think Wisconsin would have been more

1121
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 6: live to beat Duke or Florida in clearly Michigan. This

1122
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 6: is I'm just saying personally, I think Arizona is clearly

1123
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 6: my champion. I think they're by far the best team.

1124
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 6: So I'm just saying for Wisconsin Arkansas, I would have

1125
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 6: rather them have been in a different semi region, that's all.

1126
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 6: But I understand that they're They're very good. My favorite

1127
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 6: first round bet is Utah State over Villanova. Here's a

1128
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 6: stat about Villanova. Guess how many wins they have this

1129
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,919
Speaker 6: season against top fifty opponents in regulation, top fifty teams

1130
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 6: on Ken pop zero zero. They be Wisconsin overtime, and

1131
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 6: in the Big East they lost to the good teams.

1132
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 6: They just lost their fourteen in Georgetown. I don't see

1133
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 6: anything that great, but this Villanova team at this point,

1134
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 6: and with Duke Brennan, who's obviously a good player and

1135
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 6: has been great on the glass this year, he is

1136
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 6: kind of the defensive anchor against like Utah State has

1137
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 6: seen defenses better than this in their league and their

1138
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 6: rolling they rolled through their tournament.

1139
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 7: I just think their guard play is high level. It's

1140
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 7: a really old team.

1141
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 6: False lev Collins, Drake Allen Templin, Colbi Kan, Gary Clark.

1142
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 6: I love Adlenella mean, I think he's actually a matchup

1143
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 6: problem for Villanova. I think you touched as a much

1144
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 6: more crisper team on both ends. They moved the ball

1145
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 6: to shoot a bunch of threes, and I think they

1146
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 6: lucked out getting to play a week Villanova team that

1147
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 6: I think is, you know, closer to a ten or

1148
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 6: eleven seed in terms of quality.

1149
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 2: I wish I had a hot take there they I mean,

1150
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 2: I also think I mean Villanova, I think they missed

1151
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: Hodge a bit.

1152
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 7: He's a really good player. I think they miss him

1153
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 7: a lot.

1154
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just can't figure out Uta State. And

1155
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: then I just double checked on has the metrics, which

1156
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 2: makes complete sense to me. They are dead last in

1157
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 2: the country in consistency in the consistency metric, so I can't.

1158
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I never I can't figure out their game.

1159
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 2: So I have no feel on that game. So I'll

1160
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: defer to you on that one. Anything else, Mike, did

1161
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: you have anything you wanted that?

1162
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we talked about it at length already.

1163
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 4: I like Kwaii plus the points and under another correlated

1164
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 4: same game parlay, you know, fifteen and a half I

1165
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 4: think is a ton. It's assuming that the Hogs just

1166
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 4: absolutely blow him out to spite the travel up to Portland,

1167
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 4: and one sixty one and a half basically says Arkansas.

1168
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 4: That's the pace for the entirety of the game. I

1169
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 4: think Kawaii has some things in their bag, like if

1170
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 4: they do go zone, they have three really good bigs

1171
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 4: and Rully Deef and Johnson and Nemesha, Like if they

1172
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 4: could get Brazil in foul trouble. This isn't a team

1173
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 4: that necessarily plays great defense or rebounds consistently, particularly with

1174
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 4: him off the floor. And I think you kind of

1175
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 4: have to go Jordan rules on acuff he's going to

1176
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 4: score twenty five to thirty, like that's a guarantee pretty much,

1177
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 4: but just like prevent him from going Thermo Nuclear, and

1178
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 4: I think they could hang around because if you look

1179
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 4: back earlier in the year they went to the Mainlands,

1180
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 4: they should have beat the Oregon Ducks in the opener.

1181
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 4: They lost by one, and they had I think an

1182
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: eight point second half lead on Arizona State and they

1183
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 4: held mo Odom, you know, to an awful shooting night.

1184
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 4: I think he was like five for sixteen and that's

1185
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 4: right before he went Thermo Nuclear in the Maui Invitational.

1186
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: So they have experience at least. I mean, the coaching

1187
00:57:59,080 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: staff I.

1188
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 2: Think is elite.

1189
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 4: I think that guy's on the move probably this offseason

1190
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 4: for a better mid major job. I think Hawaii is

1191
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 4: the right play at least at that price. Point fifteen

1192
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 4: and a half seems like a lot.

1193
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Christian where I will agree with you on Arizona.

1194
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 2: I do think Arizona is the most complete team right now.

1195
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: Right you have Michigan, who you know, they can turn

1196
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: it over a bit too much at times. They lost

1197
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: case on They're obviously dominant. I'm nitpicking here, but do

1198
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 2: you have Duke with the injuries Florida's backcourt, Like, what

1199
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 2: are you getting on a game in the game basis,

1200
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 2: and obviously they're all elite teams, but I think Arizona

1201
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: has the least amount of flaws, and they can they

1202
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: just come at you, and so they can come out

1203
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: you in so many different ways. And one thing that

1204
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: could make Arizona even more of just a super giant

1205
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: is and Tommy Gloyd has talked about this. He wants

1206
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: them to increase their three point rate a bit. And

1207
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: if they do, which they you have to do against

1208
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: Iowa State because of their help and their aggressive day,

1209
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: and they did and del Orso uh was went super

1210
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: nuclear from three, but he came out of his slump.

1211
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 2: And if they just increased it a little bit. Here's

1212
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: the thing. They either they're making the three or a

1213
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 2: lot of times they're gonna get the offensive rebound. So like,

1214
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: if they just increase their three point rate up bit, like,

1215
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: they become even scarier. But it's it's hard to find

1216
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: many flaws, and then you just have Bradley who can

1217
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 2: close out games. So I was happy to see that

1218
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 2: of all the futures that I bet throughout the year,

1219
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 2: like Final four futures, the only one that I bet

1220
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: that's in their region is Purdue, which I'm fine with

1221
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: because they can't meet until the Elite Eight. But I

1222
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: do think Arizona right now is the most complete team

1223
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: we'll see if they can finally break through.

1224
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 6: Can I make a quick ad there on this personnel

1225
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 6: note We talk about Michigan struggles post case in some

1226
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 6: of the games they're playing, Like take it if you

1227
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 6: take a step back and just we're looking at personnel.

1228
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 6: This Arizona team has five NBA players in their in

1229
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 6: their starting lineup, and and the one not the one

1230
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 6: guy who might not get drafted in the first round

1231
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 6: is the big tole player the year, Jaden Bradley. And

1232
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 6: off the bench, you're being the best offensive runner in

1233
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 6: the country. A white dude who's gone off for twenty

1234
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 6: six against Houston and for twenty six skins Iowa State,

1235
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 6: and Duyne Aristone who's an NBA player as well. So

1236
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 6: if you just zoom out and we're going to look

1237
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 6: back at this tournament from five years a and go,

1238
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 6: oh my god, that Arizona team was loaded. And I

1239
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 6: understand you can maybe say that for a Michigan I'm not.

1240
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 7: There with Duke.

1241
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 6: Maybe with Duke, but I think we're looking at Arizona

1242
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 6: team that could Sun run the tournament.

1243
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 7: I'm just wanted to throw that out there.

1244
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 6: In Michigan's a team where I have to watch Elliot

1245
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 6: Koudo dribble around a bunch of time and do stupid things.

1246
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you might say, like, look, there's a

1247
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 2: bunch of freshmen, but they're all when you have Kharchenkov,

1248
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 2: who I mean, now he's getting confident with the shop,

1249
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 2: but he's an elite defender. These are elite freshmen. And

1250
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,919
Speaker 2: then you have senior experience where you need it the most,

1251
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: right with Bradley at the point closing out games. You

1252
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 2: have a waka inside prevas is an upperclassman like. So

1253
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 2: they have the right mix and they play so selflessly

1254
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: like it's it's pretty amazing for a team that has

1255
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,439
Speaker 2: so many freshmen and they seem so connected. And yeah,

1256
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: there their losses this year. They lost the Texas Tech

1257
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 2: in overtime and then Kansas and the five No One

1258
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 2: wins on Monday. Uh, and they have as many impressive

1259
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 2: wins as anyone in the country and went for the

1260
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Big Twelve tournament won that. I mean, this team is

1261
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 2: super scary, all right. Uh, let's that'll do it for

1262
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 2: the different regions. Actually, we gotta let's uh pick our

1263
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: favorite outright upset of the first round. Then we'll get

1264
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 2: to our final fours. I can't see this one, but

1265
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 2: I can, but I can't so but Duck, Duck and

1266
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Christen had the same ones. Uh, Duck, you're going with Troy.

1267
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of upsets are coming. I'll

1268
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 5: be honest with you.

1269
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: The gap between the mid, mid and low majors and

1270
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: high majors has never been wider. I don't know that

1271
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 3: we're going to see a tremendous amount of double digit

1272
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 3: seeds that are advancing very far this tournament. Real seed

1273
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 3: upsets South Florida and Commonwealth probably, but a real upset

1274
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: maybe Troy exquisite coach and Scott Cross an athletic team.

1275
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 3: Victor Valdez can hit some shots. I mean they took

1276
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 3: US seed to the wire and beat San Diego State

1277
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 3: and back to back games. They do defend the three

1278
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 3: point shot. Well, I could see it with Troy. It's

1279
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 3: just a tournament where I don't see a tremendous amount

1280
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 3: of you know, we always talk about the five twelve

1281
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 3: and the thirteen to four specifically. I don't know if

1282
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: We're going to get a lot of it this year.

1283
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 3: I could see Troy, you know, Nebraska could have you know,

1284
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 3: you're in a unique environment with a gym you've never

1285
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 3: shot it, and the threes aren't falling, and maybe Troy

1286
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 3: can do some things on the offensive last to get

1287
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 3: some putbacks against Nebraska.

1288
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 5: I could see it. I could see Troy being in

1289
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 5: that game late.

1290
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, my only beef with Troy. I think they might

1291
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 2: be a little overended. Like Scott Cross is an amazing coach,

1292
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean, or what Arlington did was as nine but unbelievable.

1293
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 2: Here's my thing, Like I wanted to fade Nebraska like

1294
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 2: as a potential set in my bracket, maybe a money

1295
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 2: line piece because they just play high variance games. They're

1296
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: not the most athletic team, right, There's gonna be a

1297
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: lot of threes. But here Troy will shoot a ton

1298
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:11,919
Speaker 2: of threes, so there will be variants now. But they're

1299
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 2: not a great shooting team. Like, what are they shooting

1300
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: On the year, they're shooting thirty three percent. They shot

1301
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: thirty two point eight in conference play. I mean Cooper Campbell,

1302
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 2: who's running point, They were much better when he's off

1303
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: the ball. But he can get hot. But it's not

1304
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: a great shooting team. They're very reliant on the offensive glass.

1305
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 2: But that's and i'lternate over. But though that's tough against

1306
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 2: Nebraska because Nebraska very good on the defensive glass. They

1307
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: will turn you over. So I don't know. And then

1308
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 2: I look at Troy's resume, like, so what Troy has now?

1309
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: They have some like early in the season, what they

1310
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 2: took a healthier USC team to overtime. They won at

1311
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: San Diego State, crazy games they won at Kent State.

1312
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 2: I think all these games went to overtime somehow. But

1313
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: since like mid January, they lost the JMU App State,

1314
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: Texas State, Southern Miss South Alabama, and I mean, I

1315
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 2: think the sun Belt was way down. Here are their

1316
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 2: wins Georgia State, LA Monroe, Louisiana, and LA Monroe. Those

1317
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 2: are their league wins. So they went five and five

1318
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: down the stretch and league play and they beat the dregs.

1319
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: That's it. They lost to anyone with the pulse. They

1320
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 2: did beat Akron at home, but those knack Sunbelt road

1321
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 2: teams are atrocious like that. It's just tough spots. And

1322
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 2: then in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Did they have

1323
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 2: the easiest path of all time? They played the eighth

1324
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: seed and they're playing the fourth game in four days,

1325
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 2: and then the tenth seed.

1326
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 7: Hey, the Southern team was hot though, even the sixth.

1327
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 2: Game in six days. Literally he's never happened before. So, like,

1328
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone's ever had an easier path

1329
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: to a conference tournament. But Uh, they're definitely gonna shoot

1330
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 2: a ton of threes. They're gonna need them if they

1331
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: go in. There's there's some varents, and they definitely have

1332
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 2: some real athletes. Uh, Christian, you great, You're going with Troy.

1333
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 6: So I want to talk Troy because they were my

1334
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 6: favorite upset pick last year, so I was like just

1335
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 6: tapped into them this year. Just for context for the

1336
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 6: viewers who don't know this, Troy lost their four best four,

1337
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 6: their five stars to the portal. Instead of going and

1338
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 6: taking guys from mid majors below them, he just moved

1339
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 6: seventy eight, nine to ten in the rotation up to

1340
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 6: the starting lineup.

1341
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 7: And I think that is so awesome and underrated. So

1342
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 7: the heart of this team still was there. Last year, they.

1343
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 6: Played a Kentucky team that you know, they were definitely

1344
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 6: in that game. They had some They lost by nineteen,

1345
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 6: but they were in that game. They were only downe

1346
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 6: a couple at half, and they shot eight of thirty

1347
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 6: two from deep. You make a good point, Stucky. When

1348
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 6: this when the brack of first came in, I saw

1349
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 6: Nebraska and my instant reaction was like, ugh, I don't

1350
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 6: love that. I understand Nebraska seems like a team that

1351
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 6: may be more susceptible to an upset because of all

1352
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 6: the variant stuff.

1353
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 7: But I just thought about Troy's three.

1354
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 6: Point percentage, and then when I took a step back

1355
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 6: and looked at it more, You're right. They are willing

1356
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 6: three point shooting team even if they don't shoot it great.

1357
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 6: And your two best players, Valdez and Dowd, they're not

1358
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 6: afraid to get it up even if their percentages are low.

1359
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 6: You're getting THEO sang back and with.

1360
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: He said he's hope to get him back to the term.

1361
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 2: But everyone says that about everyone, so I don't.

1362
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 7: Know that's true, but I believe him. I think they were.

1363
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 7: They were smart about it.

1364
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 6: They saw the shape of the bracket and said, like,

1365
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 6: we we only need to win these two, Like we're

1366
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 6: we're not going to force it back. And Drell Bellamy

1367
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 6: in his space has came up and been really good.

1368
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 6: But Troy Troy takes a ton of shots of the rim.

1369
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 6: They're they're willing to take the threes that Nebraska gives up,

1370
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 6: and they're a good offensive rebind team. And I understand

1371
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 6: Nebraska is good on the defensive glass, but Nebraska's not

1372
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 6: going to you know, they don't have the type of

1373
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 6: guard like an otakeo Away who will break you down

1374
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 6: and just be too athletic and too good to get

1375
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 6: to the rim.

1376
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 7: Like Brandon Garrison killed them.

1377
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 6: Last year, like schematically, similar to Mark Pope when he

1378
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 6: had actual good like shooters last year, Like that was

1379
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 6: just a tough scout, a tough guard. And in Nebraska's

1380
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 6: kind of like that, just with how beautiful the offense

1381
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 6: they run and just finding Sanford and everything, but in

1382
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 6: terms of just like guard talent to just kind of

1383
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 6: break them down and just better players than they're used to,

1384
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 6: like they don't really have that.

1385
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 7: And then Valdez like.

1386
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 6: He's shooting like sub thirty percent from three, He's not

1387
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 6: shot it well at all this year, but he's just

1388
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 6: a matchup like at the end of the game when

1389
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 6: they're at USC or at San Diego State in these

1390
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 6: tough games November. He's the type of guy that you

1391
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 6: can let rock out like in ISO or in pick

1392
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 6: and roll against like actual defenders. Like he's just a

1393
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 6: big six seven dude with a handle who's a crafty

1394
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 6: pass like. I was scared at first by this matchup,

1395
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 6: but the more I think about it, their ability to

1396
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 6: get to the rim, and obviously the three point variants

1397
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 6: I'll throw in there as well.

1398
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 7: I think Troy's live.

1399
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 2: All right, don't tell me you're going Troy too, Mike,

1400
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: I am not.

1401
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 4: I will pass on Troy. I'm going to go USF

1402
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 4: over Louisville. I actually like him to go all the

1403
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 4: way to the Sweet sixteen Lightning pace the rebounding monsters.

1404
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 4: They're seventeen and one in regular down the stretch. They

1405
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 4: got a couple overtime losses on the resume as well,

1406
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 4: five starters who average over eleven points per game, so

1407
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 4: they shared the basketball incredibly well.

1408
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah and Nelson can be one of those special guys.

1409
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 4: If he can stay on the floor, as they're lone

1410
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 4: big he's six', ten he can be a shot a

1411
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 4: racer and remember the Name Joe Pinion. Dog this guy

1412
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 4: had a two game stretch where they Played charlotte the

1413
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 4: the regular season and then in the. TOURNAMENT i think

1414
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 4: he went eleven for twenty four from three in those two. Games,

1415
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 4: like you need that to be able to spark a

1416
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 4: run as a double leedgit seed to the second. Weekend

1417
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 4: you need to be able to knock down fifteen threes

1418
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 4: in a, game and if they, do they're live against.

1419
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Anybody SO i think this is a team to keep

1420
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: an eye on that's been red.

1421
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 2: Hot, yeah very they'd play very. Fast it's got a

1422
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: lot a lot Of alabama rim in three to. Zero

1423
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,679
Speaker 2: they're like fourth in the country in points pro prossessional,

1424
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 2: steels ninth points prossessional second chance opportunities, second near proximity

1425
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 2: of tenth. Orary they rim, attacking, transition play. Fast Louisville

1426
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 2: southward is gonna be absolute track. Meet they have to

1427
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 2: get a little more. Efficient they're not the most efficient

1428
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 2: team at the, room but they will attack the. Room and,

1429
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,160

1436
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Tech and then you introduce the three point, variants like

1437
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 2: Tex TeX's gonna get a ton of threes up here

1438
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 2: if they're. Off if there's some variants that. HITS i,

1439
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,479

1500
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 6: understand that they're the easiest pain of one of the top,

1501
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 6: quickball BUT i believe In Dan hurley AND i think

1502
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 6: there really is something to Why yukon has been so

1503
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 6: good on neutrals and in non conference. Play look at

1504
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 6: how they Played florida And, arizona and people want to

1505
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 6: point do they regress the? Season but how can you

1506
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 6: really Evaluate yukon accurately when they're just playing in the

1507
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 6: bum As Big east with the one good team is

1508
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 6: The Rick Patino bullies like, That you can't really and

1509
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 6: you're playing them In New.

1510
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 2: York why were they playing all these bombs to?

1511
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 7: Like because The east and they know each. Other it's just,

1512
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 7: Different like you just think about. It here's a great

1513
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 7: way THAT i want to stand hear me. Out i'm

1514
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:34,560
Speaker 7: going to take a.

1515
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 6: Detour the top three teams in The Big ten at

1516
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 6: forcing turnovers Are, Iowa, nebraska And. Northwestern those are all white.

1517
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 6: Teams And i'm saying that in terms of stylistically The Big,

1518
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 6: ten the teams that are turning you over are very

1519
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 6: different than the teams turning you over in The Big.

1520
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 6: Twelve there is very strong stylistic things in these leagues

1521
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 6: and in The Big. EAST i agree that there's a

1522
01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 6: level of physicality that is. Different AND i can't get

1523
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 6: out of my head how you come Played florida last.

1524
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 6: Year yukon should have Beat florida in the tournament last.

1525
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 7: Year they're better this.

1526
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 6: YEAR I ucla is IF i do something crazy my final,

1527
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 6: four it's going to be PUTTING ucla, there or Putting

1528
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 6: vanderbilt there instead Of. Houston BUT i really think there's

1529
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 6: value In yukon in some game theory aspect of just

1530
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 6: getting a two seating or final four that a lot

1531
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 6: of people aren't going to be. Riding who won the

1532
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 6: tournament twice too of the past three. YEARS i don't, know,

1533
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 6: MAN i think there's real value In. YUKON i think

1534
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,000
