Speaker 2: We welcome back a man. He bets college football win

Speaker 2: totals all summer long.

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: He bets mid major college hoops sides all winter, and

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: everything in between. He is a co host of the

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Big Bets on Campus podcast. You may remember him joining

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: our National Championship preview. He had a couple winners in

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: that one too, including the under in the first quarter.

53
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: He also gave out, oh, that's what it was. I

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: was just saying that off the top of my head.

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't even reading the script. It was a plus

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: four to fifty first quarter parlay. He's Joshua Nunn, but

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: everyone calls him Doc. Welcome back to the show, Duck.

58
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on. Guys.

59
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 5: It's a fun time of the season with the NCAA

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: Tournament getting into full swing tonight, college football regular season

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 5: wins drop, so I'll be knee deep into that market

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 5: here shortly. And yeah, for college athletics, it's a great

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: time of year.

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: Doc.

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: You're the rare guest who when I prop you up

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: with the opportunity to talk about a big win. The

67
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: last time you were on the show, you're just so

68
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: focused on what's happening next you can't even take a victory.

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: Let well, this industry can be really brutal at times,

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 5: and it doesn't matter what you've done before. It's all

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 5: about the next bet and the next series of events

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 5: that are happening. And so I try to look forward

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: to what's happening next so we can get people to

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: the window.

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Duck, you're way too humble. You're taking this way too seriously.

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Everyone knows it's all just a crock of shit anyways,

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: right Simon, am I right?

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: What's what this guy?

79
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: He's locked in?

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: All right?

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: Right, all right, guys, let's go back National Championship Indiana

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 5: Miami punk punt first quarter under. That was me who

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: gave that one out here on your show, and that's

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: how it transpired.

85
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: So glad we got.

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: That finally.

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Play into the type man, good lord, all right, speaking

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: of uh, I love this week. This has been a

89
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: magical week for years. I mean shit, I wrote about

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: this week twenty five years ago this month in the odds.

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: The entire reason I got into this business was because

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: I loved tracking these guys and betting on college basketball

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: and betting on March Madness. Simon as a off season

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: better who now just counts your gold bars and calculates

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the cost and value of your Pokemon cards.

96
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: How are you going to celebrate this week?

97
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: Just living at the book Baby got, you know, luckily

98
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: to have a place still in New Jersey, and it's

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 3: literally a walk to my favorite casino, hard Rock, and

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: I literally just go in get breakfast, honestly at the

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: casino and that's how I'll start my day for the

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: next about four days. So starting Thursday morning, just NonStop action.

103
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: And I think anyone can go back to like what

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: I remember, thinking back to high school or working a

105
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: normal job in my twenties, it was a week of nothing,

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: no work. It was just full on diving into basketball.

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: And you know, everyone's different. When I was a fan

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: growing up, I really was just a Duke fan, so

109
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: I knew the Duke conference, but every other conference I

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: really didn't know. And this is like the week of

111
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: crunching all the data, right, You're learning all these guys' names,

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: you're learning all these different teams, and it feels the

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: same today where it's like I care about my team

114
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: not so much other conferences, and then this next week

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: it's really just diving and trying to find the Cinderella stories.

116
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, is it better. It's it's like the lazy

117
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: man's research. But that's why he brought Duck on right.

118
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: He's gonname us the goods, help us cheat and get

119
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: some winners.

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: Duck, can you bust open some myths for us? There's

121
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: twelve five matter anymore? Is four thirteen more important? Is

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: eleven six a better bet?

123
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Give us?

124
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Like where things stand now that the market has caught

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: up to certain seedings and pairings where upsets tend to happen.

126
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I certainly think that there's some value on the

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: fives now that gets baked in as everybody likes the

128
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 5: popular twelve five upsets, and I think can comment into

129
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: the landscape of college athletics today with the nil and

130
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: the transfer portal, the rich get richer, and the gap

131
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: between the one through four seeds, let's call it in

132
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: the thirteen through sixteen seeds, has ever been wider. We

133
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: see that this year with all of those games lined

134
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: in excess of thirteen and a half point spreads. So

135
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: it really becomes difficult for these underdog teams.

136
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: Even in mid major leagues.

137
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: If it was the best team in the league that

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: won the league in the regular season and won the

139
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: conference tournament. I think this year, more than ever, we'll

140
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: see that it's really going to be hard for these

141
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: teams to compete and pull the outright upsets. So if

142
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: you're looking for upsets, you can find value in some

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: of the high major teams that are perhaps underseeded, a

144
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: team like VCU or South Florida. I really think there's

145
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: value this year in the eleven line, so I would

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: look for upsets there. Some of the twelve seeds drew

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 5: some horrific draws, and we can get into that as

148
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: we talk later on. But High Point in McNee State

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 5: specifically schematically just drew really tough matchups, So I don't

150
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 5: see a lot of value there. Maybe a team Mike

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: Akron who could compete against a depleted Texas Tech team

152
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: will have a chance. They can shoot threes and they're

153
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: really athletic at the rim, Texas Tech will really miss JT.

154
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: Toppin. But overall, I love the upsets as much as anybody.

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: The Cinderella runs are what makes this event magical. I

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: don't see a lot this year with any of the

157
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: twelve through sixteen seeds.

158
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned South Florida because I think I

159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: actually chose them in the Volume Hard Rock Contest, and

160
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: they have a coach who just gave the most incredible

161
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: press conference after the team had made the tournament.

162
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: I think this is the coach who he talked about.

163
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: He was a foster kid, he was adopted, his father

164
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: now has dementia. He's from the Buffalo area. That's where

165
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: they're going to play in the first round. And for

166
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: the first time ever as a head coach, this guy

167
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: is going to have his father in the stands because

168
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: now he's able to see him play because he doesn't

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: have to travel the father because it's become so hard

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: for him. I'm getting sentimental in my old age, Duck.

171
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you brought up South Florida. Am I

172
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: get Am I making the right connection? Am I telling

173
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: the right story?

174
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah? And I think he's in the running as well

175
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: for the Syracuse job, but he says he's remaining fully

176
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 5: locked into what's happening at South Florida. It is a

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: unique story, and I think schematically they'll match up just

178
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: fine with their first round opponents. So South Florida definitely

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: has the motivation there, the uniqueness of their head coach

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: and all the different things that are going on personally,

181
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: that just adds field to the fire.

182
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: I would say for the bulls, all.

183
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: Right, well, it looks like I'm going to get one.

184
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to get one of the upsets, and I'll

185
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: probably be the top of the leaderboard in the contest.

186
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: All right for people who are listening to the show

187
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: in the next twenty four to thirty six hours, duck,

188
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: we got the playing games, tell us like the best

189
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: bet for the four playing games that are happening over

190
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours. We've got UNBC the magical

191
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: team that upset Virginia, the one sixteen they're playing Howard.

192
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: We've got Texas.

193
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Is playing NC State, and then we've got Lehigh against

194
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Prairie View and SMU against Unfortunately Mammy Ohio.

195
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: I'd love to get your take on whether or not

196
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: you think.

197
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: They got screwed, but give us like your best bets

198
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: for those playing games.

199
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: Well, the one I like here hard Rock actually has

200
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 5: the best price out there. So if you like this

201
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 5: play go to hard Rock and Bennett SMU minus six

202
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: and a half is what I like here in the

203
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: first four Look, guys, I like Miami of Ohio as

204
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: much as anybody. I firmly believe they deserved a spot

205
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 5: in the field because they did not win their conference

206
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: championship and they lost in the first round of the

207
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 5: MAC Title in Cleveland. I think they're appropriately placed in

208
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 5: the first four in Dayton.

209
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: Miami Ohio could.

210
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 5: Get overwhelmed a bit here by the athleticism of SMU.

211
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 5: Boopy Miller is very quick off the dribble. He can

212
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: penetrate the lane and get to the rim. Jeron Pierre

213
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 5: has made four or more three point shots in his

214
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 5: last five games. The guys in the middle, Tombs and Sammitt,

215
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 5: they're just going to make it really tough for Miami

216
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 5: of Ohio on both ends of the floor. In the paint.

217
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: I think SMU's top end talent is really superior to

218
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: what Miami of Ohio had. Miami of Ohio is a

219
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: good team, but they don't have really the history of

220
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: this season of playing against teams that are this athletic.

221
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 5: Remember SMU took Duke to the wire at Cameron Indoor.

222
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: It was a three point game with two minutes to

223
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 5: go and they were tied with Virginia with ninety.

224
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: Seconds left in that game.

225
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: SMU has defeated Louisville, North Carolina, Texas A and m

226
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: It's just on a completely different level. We're gonna have

227
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: a lot of pace here. We could have upwards of

228
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: eighty possessions in this game. Miami is going to have

229
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: to have a real special performance from their shooters, brand Byers,

230
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: Peter Shooter, Saskaljack, their point guard. I just don't think

231
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 5: they're going to make enough threes here, and I think

232
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: that they could get destroyed at the rim.

233
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: So I'm laying it with SMU all right.

234
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: So basically, you just told me everything I need to

235
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: know about how you about Miami Ohio getting screwed of

236
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: being a Final four play in?

237
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Huh?

238
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: I think they were appropriately I mean, the metrics are poor,

239
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: the strength of schedule is poor. I think they deserve

240
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 5: to get in because of all the wins that they accumulated,

241
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: and they have eighty four receipts about teams that they

242
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: petitioned to play that told them no. So I think

243
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: when you win as many games as they did and

244
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 5: they were unblemished throughout the regular season, yeah, they deserve

245
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: a spot at the table. They had done nothing to

246
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: detract from the talent of that team, But now that

247
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: they're in the dance, they had to line up against SMU.

248
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: I just think it's a tough draw. I think at

249
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: SMUs two.

250
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Athletic Simon, the Dukies.

251
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: Your Dukies minus two set plus two seventy five to

252
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: win it all, Arizona Michigan plus three fifty Florida defending

253
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: champ plus six fifty Houston defending runner up plus nine hundred.

254
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: Those are the five teams under ten to one to

255
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: win it all. Uh, Simon, do you still feel like

256
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: Duke is a team that you root for in spite

257
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: of everybody else? Or do you feel like Duke's I

258
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: feel like Duke's entire perception has changed with John Shire

259
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: from coach k.

260
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: Oh.

261
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

262
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't think people hate him as much.

263
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: No, they do. Like if I rock this hoodie out,

264
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: someone's gonna talk shit to me, especially in a sports book.

265
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: It's it's a given. Like Duke has its haters and

266
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: it should, right. It's it's almost coming up on fifty

267
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: years of just people hating that brand, right.

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: It just looks back fifty years.

269
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy how long it's been that Duke has

270
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: been kind of relevant in the basketball sphere. So yeah,

271
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: I I like this team obviously for a different reasons.

272
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: Maybe the general publical like them because it's an ex

273
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: player's kid and boozer and he is a good kid

274
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: by all accounts. I mean, duckl and talking better than me. Right,

275
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: he knows college basketball than me. He's the type of

276
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: kid though I think of in college basketball. It's like

277
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: he's peaking right now, like this is. I don't know

278
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: how would be in the NBA. He might never be

279
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: better than his right now, but booser style of game

280
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: is so perfect for college and he's just so polished.

281
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: He reminds me a little bit of Marmon Harrison junior,

282
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: like he was just so ready for the next league.

283
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: That like, he's perfect for college, right, he's already kind

284
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: of learned all the stuff from his dad NBA wise, right,

285
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: the stuff he can do, dude. For me, though, I

286
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: love to get Duck's opinion on it. They're just in

287
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: a brutal, brutal conference here, or I should say side

288
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: of the bracket. So I don't really I don't think

289
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: those are good odds that bet them. I feel like

290
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: that's the worst bet that you gave out. Then I'm shocked.

291
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: There the odds on favorite. Uh, they do tend to choke.

292
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: So I am shocked just in that, in that, in

293
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: that bracket. So I'm interested here, Duck, are there any

294
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: any anyone, anyone in that top ten that you like

295
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: that's worthy of a future here?

296
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: I I mean, I think all of the teams have

297
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: an excellent chance to at least achieve getting to the

298
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: elite eight. I think we have a clear top four

299
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: with the number one seeds. Houston's very good, but their

300
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 5: defense is not the exceedingly elite defense that we've come

301
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: to know and love under Kelvin Sampson. I think technically

302
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 5: Florida probably would have what would be considered to be

303
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: the easiest path, But I like Duke's path at current.

304
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 5: I think you get fewer of the stronger Big ten

305
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: or Big twelve teams, You get the probably the most

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 5: overseeded number two in Yukon. I think you know, at

307
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: this point in the season, the value has pretty well

308
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: been squeezed out if you're looking to bet the favorites.

309
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: But Duke is very, very good, and we saw them

310
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: really have three solid performances in the ACC Tournament. Against

311
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 5: good conference foes and they're not at full strength, and

312
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: if they're getting their guys back and healthy, you're not

313
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: going to get to the rim against Duke.

314
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: Boozer can live at the line.

315
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: He's got three post moves that he can just make

316
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: you look like a fool on if you get him

317
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: on the block, they can accrue really effective paint touches.

318
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 5: They play a good inside outside game. Duke's really buttoned up,

319
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 5: and they're going to.

320
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: Be tough to be.

321
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: I think I needed to hear that. I needed to

322
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: hear that. I was trying to be very very hoo

323
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: home about it, but yeah, I'm I'm obviously going on them.

324
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: I just don't think the odds, Like even Duck said,

325
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if the odds are that great to

326
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: be vet numb right now, you kind of missed that window.

327
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: I always am all about the random guy, right there's

328
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: always a breakout guy coming to march randis Is there

329
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: a team that has a guy that me and Chad

330
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: are not thinking about that could carry his team two

331
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: or three games? Are just a random team that you

332
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: know no one's talking or thinking about right now?

333
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, how far in the weeds do we

334
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: want to get because Cal Baptist has a guy, Dominic

335
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: Davis that could score forty points against anybody.

336
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 4: The problem is that they can't get that.

337
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: That's what I want.

338
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: I want to watch that kid.

339
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: They can't get to the paint and he's going to

340
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 5: have to do a lot himself. Now they're playing just

341
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: forty five minutes down the road from where they're based

342
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 5: out of and Kansas has to fly across the country

343
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: to San Diego, so that one could be real interesting.

344
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: I mean, a Cuff should score forty points against Hawaii,

345
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: Hawaii drops their coverage, they don't switch. A Cuff's gonna

346
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 5: have a lot of one on one matchups for Arkansas.

347
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 5: They he could score forty points in that opening ground

348
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 5: game against Hawaii.

349
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: Everyone loves Acuff.

350
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: Coach cal Wherever he goes finds the talent that will blossom,

351
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: that will grow, that will dominate at the college level

352
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: and become the everybody is talking about future All Star

353
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: NBA Draft pick one and done kid. It's kind of

354
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: amazing how he does that. And for years, you know,

355
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: who knows what was happening behind the scenes, and there

356
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: have been plenty of stories and their speculation and there's

357
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: there have been penalties against coach cal for recruiting and

358
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But geez, from UMass to

359
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: Memphis to Kentucky, this guy can freaking recruit, recruit, recruit,

360
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: And it's been so fun this year to watch coaches

361
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: like Cal and Calvin Sampson who have been decrying NIL

362
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: and complaining about NIL and DOC.

363
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have an opinion on this.

364
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: The way they're framing it is in a disadvantage for

365
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: schools like THEIRS when they've been let's say, excellent recruiters

366
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: for forty plus years. To me, that's a blast to watch,

367
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: total blast to watch.

368
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they've been they've been using some of

369
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: the NIL techniques long before NIL was even a thing.

370
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 5: So it's a disadvantage now because everybody else is now

371
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 5: able to do it.

372
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: That's really what it is.

373
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: It is. It's pretty amazing. All right.

374
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Thursday's games sixteen games tipping off between twelve fifteen and

375
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: nine to fifteen pm Eastern. It's a whole do not

376
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: disturb day?

377
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: What do you eyeballing right now? Duke?

378
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got three games that I want to talk about,

379
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 5: So I like Wisconsin team total over eighty seven and

380
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 5: a half. The Big South is on an zero to

381
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: five against the spread run in the NCAA Tournament. High

382
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 5: Point plays very fast. They press, they trap, they gamble defensively,

383
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: and that will be major trouble against the Badgers.

384
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: If you look at.

385
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 5: Wisconsin, Greg Garda has these guys playing as fast as

386
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: any Wisconsin team that we've ever seen, and they just

387
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: made fifteen threes against Michigan. They get to the stripe,

388
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: they get to the rim. Wisconsin scored ninety one points

389
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: against Illinois twice this year, ninety seven against Purdue, ninety

390
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: seven against Michigan State, and ninety one against Michigan. Those

391
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: are all top ten defenses in the entire country. I

392
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 5: think that Wisconsin puts up a huge point total here.

393
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 5: We're going to get a lot of pace. Wisconsin has

394
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 5: played a little faster since they've been battling some injuries

395
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 5: in the front court. High Point will score and that'll

396
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 5: continue to have Wisconsin squeeze the ball hard as we

397
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 5: get into the last five minutes of the second half.

398
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 5: But this game should fly over the post to total

399
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: and Wisconsin should approach one hundred points. Who else so

400
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: let's talk about Duke real quick. Sienna really they only

401
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: play six guys. They live in the mid range with

402
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 5: their flex offense, and they will not be able to

403
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 5: get to the rim against Dukes. So when you look

404
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 5: at the Saints, they're gonna have to consistently hit twelve

405
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 5: to fifteen foot jumpers. They don't want to shoot a

406
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: lot of threes. Duke's going to take away what they

407
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 5: want to do offensively. The team is shorthanded. We really

408
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: saw the style of play in the ACC Championship game

409
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: for Duke low and slow. They grinded out possessions. There

410
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 5: was very little pace, absolutely no fast break. Sienna is

411
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 5: going to have to eliminate any ability to crash the boards,

412
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: and they're gonna have to get back on defense. So

413
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 5: you're gonna have one and done possessions. Mishots are gonna

414
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 5: lead to them getting back. Duke is probably gonna play

415
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: this at a pace of about sixty two or sixty

416
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 5: three possessions here, And if you're the Dukies, with the

417
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: injuries that you've battled late in season, I think that

418
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 5: the idea is to get this to a twenty point

419
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 5: margin and get Boozer the hell out of there and

420
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 5: grind down the second half. When you get to the

421
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 5: under eight, it should be nearly taking shot clock violations

422
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 5: the rest of the way. So I like the under

423
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 5: at one thirty six and a half. I've got this

424
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: one about seventy eight to fifty two type of game,

425
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 5: and Sienna's offense is really really going to struggle. They

426
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: just don't have shooters. They shoot three is less frequently

427
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 5: than about eighty five percent of all other teams at

428
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 5: the Division IE level, and they have one guy who

429
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 5: averages in excess of two Mady three point shots per game.

430
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: They're just not equipped to matchups schematically with what Duke.

431
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 4: Wants to do. So we're going under.

432
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 5: I like Sienna's team total under as well.

433
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: All right, so Wisconsin team total over Duke Sienna under

434
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Sienna team total over was Sienna you mentioned three? Was

435
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: Sienna team total under that other batter?

436
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: Or is there one more?

437
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 4: One more?

438
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: We're gonna go Idaho Houston under one thirty six and

439
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 5: a half. Kelvin Sana is a great under coach with

440
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: a total under one forty and with his team listed

441
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: as a massive favorite. You know, Idaho ran around a

442
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: little bit in Big Sky play and it was kind

443
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 5: of fun to see them go up and down. But

444
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 5: in the non conference against unfamiliar opponents, it was a slow,

445
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 5: burning grinder for Idaho almost every game. The Vandals are

446
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: not going to be able to go up and down

447
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 5: with Houston here, and they know that it's going to

448
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 5: be a slow pace game. Idaho is going to struggle

449
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 5: to shoot the ball. I think Houston's length is going

450
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 5: to give them some problems. Calvin Sampson has no ego

451
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 5: to try to accumulate style points or run up the

452
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: score or try to score a high point. This is

453
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 5: going to be one where Idaho has to slow the

454
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: pace down. Houston already plays at a slow and methodical pace.

455
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 5: Houston's defense is really going to step up here. I

456
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 5: think Idaho could struggle to break fifty points in this

457
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: one so full game. Idaho Houston under one thirty six

458
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: and a half.

459
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: All right, So, Wisconsin team total under Duke under one

460
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: thirty six and a half. Do you have a floor

461
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: for where you wouldn't bet Duke under anymore?

462
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 5: I'd say Duke unders good to about one thirty four.

463
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 5: Wisconsin team total we're going over.

464
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, wis Wisconsin team total over and then do

465
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: you have a floor for the Houston Idaho under this.

466
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 4: One shouldn't move too much.

467
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: In fact, if anything, people will see some of the

468
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 5: scores for Idaho late in the season and this may

469
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 5: end up upticking a point or so. But as long

470
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 5: as you're over one thirty five, I think we're okay here.

471
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: So again, on Thursday, if people are filling out their brackets,

472
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: including the Volumes Free Bracket Challenge at bracket dot theVolume

473
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: dot Com, any upset alerts again for Thursday or words

474
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: of warning you'd give listeners viewers right now for Thursday brackets.

475
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: I mean, the upsets are great and it's fun to

476
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 5: call the ones, and if you can pluck the right

477
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: one you can look like a genius. But I would

478
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 5: just say not to get too upset heavy in the

479
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 5: first round. Again, the gap between seeds one through four

480
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: and say thirteen through sixteen is wider than it's ever been.

481
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 5: All of these points spreads are lined in excess of

482
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: thirteen and a half for a reason. It's going to

483
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 5: be really hard to see one team pull an upset

484
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: let alone multiple But I do think there's value in

485
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 5: the eleven lines. So if you look at a team

486
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 5: like Virginia Commonwealth or South Florida in these Thursday games,

487
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 5: I think both of those teams will have a chance

488
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: to win the game on the court.

489
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: I think, Doc, if I had to look at my

490
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: bracket that I submitted into the Volume hard Reck Bet Challenge,

491
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: I might have chosen more upsets than I have in

492
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: fifty plus years of doing bracket challenges.

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,760

Speaker 4: Best bets for us?

537
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll talk three more here So Long Island in Arizona.

538
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 5: This is a dead nut under one fifty two. Liu

539
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 5: is going to truncate this pace down. Rod Strickland, who

540
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 5: played a lot of years in the NBA, is actually

541
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: a very good coach in the NEC He's really built

542
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 5: this Sharks team on defense. And trust me when I

543
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 5: say these guys cannot shoot. They don't want to shoot threes,

544
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: and really, outside of Jamal Fuller and Malachi Davis, there's

545
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 5: not a lot of scores for LIU. They're very thin

546
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: and they do not use a lot of bench minutes,

547
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 5: and so it would be wise for them to trim

548
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 5: the pace down and play at a slow, methodical pace.

549
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 5: I really feel bad for LU because they're going to

550
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 5: get out athleted by Arizona. But Arizona shoots three point

551
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 5: shots so infrequently. They rely on getting to the rim,

552
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: getting to the line, hitting shots in the mid range,

553
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 5: so we're not going to get a barrage of three

554
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: point shots either way. And then looking beyond this game

555
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 5: for Arizona with a potential matchup against Utah State or

556
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 5: Villanova Looming, I really just feel as though this is

557
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 5: going to be one where the Wildcats are up by

558
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: twenty at half, they play a slow pace in the

559
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 5: second half. L IU is going to struggle mightily to

560
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 5: score sixty points in this game, and I don't think

561
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 5: we see Arizona put up much more than eighty or

562
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 5: eighty five. So one fifty one and a half one

563
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 5: fifty two, this isn't This is an undergame for me.

564
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Uh Rod Strickland had many great years in the NBA,

565
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: but let's give respect to the DePaul University Blue Demons,

566
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: where Rog Strickland and Dallas Comedies were a dynamic duo

567
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: that were upset.

568
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: I believe Doug.

569
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're a historian like like I

570
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: am in the way Back Machine. I feel like it

571
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: was first or second round when they were a probably a.

572
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Top two seed.

573
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: Rocket Rod and Dallas comedies were a glorious, glorious mix.

574
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 4: Just a hair before my time.

575
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: But that's that's that's what I've heard about them.

576
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Yes, oh Jesus Christ, you young motherfuckers.

577
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: What about words of warning?

578
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: And oh wait, you said you had a couple other

579
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: ones for Friday other than lu in Arizona.

580
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's get into Right State versus Virginia.

581
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 5: If you look at how Wright State profiles offensively, they

582
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: have to attack the rim. They don't shoot a lot

583
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 5: of threes. They want to get to the line, They

584
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: want to get good looks from inside. They really try

585
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 5: to procure the paint touches. Not going to happen against UVA.

586
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 5: I mean, just look what those guys in the middle

587
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: did against Duke fourteen block shots between Ugana and Johann Grunlow.

588
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 5: Right State shoots fewer threes than anybody else in their conference,

589
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 5: and they just don't They're not equipped with shooters. They

590
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: have one guy who's made in excess of forty five

591
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: threes this season.

592
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be a real struggle for the Raiders.

593
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 5: They've really truncated their pace this season, and I think

594
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 5: Virginia is going to match at a slower operating tempo

595
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 5: in this game. Right State is really really going to

596
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: struggle to find a way to score the ball here.

597
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 5: So I'm taking their team total under sixty three and

598
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 5: a half and if you're looking for a little bit

599
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 5: of a longer shot here as far as an upset's concerned, again,

600
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: Kansas has to travel all the way across the country.

601
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 5: They're playing cal Baptist Dominic. Davis can score forty points

602
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: at any time, and I think that they will succeed

603
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 5: in getting him some open looks. If you've seen his

604
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: highlights just from this season, I mean, he is making

605
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 5: defenders look like absolute fools and he can create space

606
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 5: and get good looks. Kansas does have the travel factor.

607
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 5: There is an element to having to travel and play

608
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 5: in a foreign arena that you're not familiar with, and

609
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 5: that could really affect Kansas offensively. There's been a lot

610
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: of personnel issues with Kansas this year about who's playing

611
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 5: who's not playing. Peterson's been in and out of the fold,

612
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: and it's just it's one where I think offensively for

613
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 5: Ku the operation could look just a little bit jerky.

614
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 5: Caw Baptist is going to really trim down the possession count.

615
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 5: They do play sound defense, they defend well without fouling.

616
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: I could see this game being closer. I also think

617
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 5: it's an under game one thirty eight. Cal Baptist is

618
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: really going to have to have a superlative effort from

619
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: Dom Daniels. Otherwise they're not going to score a bunch

620
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 5: of points, So I could see it being close.

621
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 4: I like the under.

622
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, I feel like we're

623
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: doing a disservice. If you don't give us your final

624
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: four and you're national champion, well.

625
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 5: My final four is absolutely subject to change, and honestly

626
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit undecided. I think you're probably looking

627
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 5: at chalk.

628
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: I think it's one or two. In fact, I have

629
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: an exotic.

630
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 5: Bet that I really like here. If you look at

631
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: the total sum of the seeds to make the final four,

632
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: you can find a book out there that has over

633
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 5: under nine and a half. And I think if you

634
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 5: look at the under. That's probably a way to go.

635
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 5: I see at least two number one seeds making it

636
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: to the final four, and then you put in a

637
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: number two seed in there. If it goes one, one, two, three,

638
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 5: you're good. One two, two, three year under. So if

639
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: you look at the total sum of the final four participants,

640
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 5: I think it's under nine and a half. That's a

641
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 5: little exotic. I'm still undecided on my final four. I

642
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 5: think Duke is a very strong team. I think Arizona

643
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 5: has a path. I think Virginia is a team that's

644
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: capable of making a run. I just don't know if

645
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: they're going to get all the way to win the

646
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: regional finals. So it's hard for me to answer who

647
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 5: I have in my final four yet because I'm still

648
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 5: filling out the brackets.

649
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 4: But I think it's gonna be Jock.

650
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: Those of some of us are significantly bolder and more ignorant.

651
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: I believe I picked Yukon to win it all. I

652
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: might be a homer there.

653
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 5: And I'll give one more too. There's another exotic out there.

654
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 5: Total number of wins accumulated by participants from the WCC.

655
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 5: So you got the zags in there. Saint Mary's and

656
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 5: Santa Clara. That total is three and a half. I

657
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: think the Zags alone are capable of winning at least

658
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 5: three games in this tournament, and Santa Clara and Saint

659
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 5: Mary's will both have opportunities to accumulate at least one win.

660
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 5: So when you look at the totality of that, I

661
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 5: think it's more likely than not you're going to get

662
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: over three and a half wins from WCC participants in

663
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: this tournament.

664
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: Simon, did you want to add anything else?

665
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, for Simon says, I'm gonna take a little info

666
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: from Duck here and put it's some use for some

667
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: of our listeners.

668
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: I want to play a game, Simon.

669
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: Says, I'm definitely gonna betting Wisconsin minus ten minus ten

670
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 3: and a half at hard Rock and now minus nine

671
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: and a half. I love ben Big Ten schools. I

672
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: think last year in Round one, Big Ten started eight

673
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: to zer. They're just it's just a great conference for basketball,

674
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: and they're just so well coached, and like talking about

675
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: this Wisconsin team, they're really good, Like if they have

676
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: their A plus game, they could easily win this game

677
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: by twenty. So I like the fact that, especially now

678
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 3: that it's under ten. You get it nine and a

679
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: half at hard Rock.

680
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: All right, Simon says, Wisconsin minus ten. Simon says, presented

681
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: by hard Rock Bets minus ten. By the way, I

682
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: forgot to give our brass balls. Our brass balls better

683
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: the week for March Madness the NCAA Tournament, It's going

684
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: to be TCU.

685
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: You know what it takes.

686
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 5: It takes brass balls.

687
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: TCU plus one twenty in the first round against Ohio State.

688
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I think we're we're giving people something to watch early.

689
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: DUC give us a take on TCU at Ohio State

690
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: and what our brass balls.

691
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: Bet of the Week presented by hard Rock Bettters.

692
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 5: I think TCU is a very strong team. They took

693
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: Michigan to the wire earlier this season. They accumulated some

694
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 5: really good wins and got very hot down the stretch

695
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 5: in Big twelve play, which is a very very tough

696
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 5: competitive conference. This year, TCU almost won the conference and

697
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 5: had a real chance late to defeat Kansas in the

698
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 5: conference tournament. They've got late wins over Texas Tech. They

699
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 5: took Houston to the wire. I think TCU is a

700
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 5: strong team and a team that I have also picked

701
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 5: to advance out of the first round, So brass Balls play.

702
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 5: I like TCU on the Money lineup with the plus

703
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 5: signed in front of their name.

704
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: Duck has a set. I love it.
