Okay, 49 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: let's go directly into the first game that we'll be 50 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 2: played coming up on Thursday. So we've got Illinois in Houston, Iowa, 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 2: Nebraska Tech, Texas, Perdue, and Arkansas and Arizona. Let's start 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: with the seven to ten tip in San Jose between 53 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: Texas and Purdue. There are some very interesting numbers going 54 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: into this basketball game, mainly that Matt Painter has been 55 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: tremendous with Purdue ats twenty eight and fourteen ATS in 56 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: the forty two games he has played with Purdue in 57 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournaments. He's been awesome in the first two rounds. 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: He hasn't been great in the Sweet sixteen or later, 59 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: just five and seven ats. But here's the wild thing. 60 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: Texas is the sixth team to play in the first 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: four and then wind up making the Sweet sixteen. All 62 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: five teams previously were dogs, but they went three one 63 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: in one ats in the sweet sixteen. Two of them 64 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: closed at plus six or higher, which is where Texas 65 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: is right now at plus seven and a half. Those 66 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: teams both covered now Sean Miller. A lot has been 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: made of this, okay, and the public is going to 68 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: trail is and I'm not saying that that's awesome, but 69 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: Sean Miller's been an underdog in the tournament fifteen times 70 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: Sean Miller eleven and four ats in those games, three 71 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: and oh straight up against the spread, three and oh 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: against ats for Shawn Miller in this year's tournament, and 73 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: people keep on doubting Texas, including me, guess what I'm 74 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: done doubting Texas. I'm going to come in and I'm 75 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: taking the points gave me Texas plus seven and a half. 76 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: They're outside shooting has been tremendous. I think Texas is 77 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: going to find a way to get it done here, 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: to keep it close and maybe even pull the upset 79 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: here over Perdue. I haven't loved Purdue in this tournament. 80 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: They looked good, not great, and I think when you 81 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: look at some of the metrics going into this matchup, 82 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: I think Texas is going to have an opportunity late 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: in this game to win this game. They may not cover, 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: but I mean they may not win, but I do 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: think that they're going to cover. It's an eighty two 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: seventy four win for Perdue. According to kempom, what puts 87 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: it at eight. We're at seven and a half. We're 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: right there. I just don't love the metrics. When you 89 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: look at the defense for Perdue effective field goal percentage, 90 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: they're two hundred and twenty second. They are two hundred 91 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: and forty fourth in two point shooting. They're one hundred 92 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: and seventy second in three point shooting. Yes, their offense 93 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: is highly efficient. In Texas's defense has not been good, 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 2: but Sean Miller is a master, and with extra time 95 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: to prepare for Purdue, I just think that Texas has 96 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: enough here to keep the game close. We're going with 97 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: Texas plus seven and a half. We go to the 98 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: second game. This game will tip off at four thirty Pacific, 99 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 2: seven thirty Eastern. 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Iowa and Nebraska. 101 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, look at this is a hard 102 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: game to handicap for me. 103 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Nebraska has been very good in this tournament. 104 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 2: Iowa's coming off of a ten and a half point 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: dog outright victory over Florida, knocking out the number one 106 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 2: seed over Generally speaking, this is when a team will lose, 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: will get beat, and Nebraska hits their threes like they 108 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: have been hitting their threes. It's hard not to like 109 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: the Huskers to win this game, but I'm not betting it. 110 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: I've got too much emotional baggage tied to this. I 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: like Ben McCollum a lot from his time at Drake. 112 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: I really like Fred Hoiberg as a person. I can't 113 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: stayd Nebraska basketball as a program. Them in the Elite 114 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: eight would kind of like, you know, that hurts my 115 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: brain because they've never gone to the Sweet sixteen. Now 116 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: they go to the Elite eight. That's the farthest that 117 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: the Creighton Blue Jays have gone to the Elite eight. 118 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: So that would tie them, which is somewhat shocking given 119 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: how the futility of Nebraska basketball historically has been downright pathetic. 120 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: So I have a hard time with this game. I'm 121 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: just not going to get involved with it. I'm just 122 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: going to sit back and watch it and not go crazy. 123 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: These teams met in the Big Ten Tournament. 124 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: At the end of the season in Nebraska, they lost 126 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: at Iowa by five. Nebraska did and they beat Iowa 127 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: by nine, laying four and a half. So here's the 128 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: rubber match with a chance to go to the suite 129 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: to the Elite eight. If I'm leaning on it, I'm 130 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: taking Nebraska, Okay. If I have to make a play, 131 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: I would take the Huskers to go ahead and win 132 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: and cover. But I'm not going to get involved with 133 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: this game. I just think it's it's it's too complicated 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: of a game to get into it for me. On 135 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: that third game on Thursday, let's talk about Saint John's 136 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: sorry third game, It's going to be Arkansas in Arizona. 137 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: This is wild. So a total for this game is 138 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: one sixty six. That is high, but it's not as 139 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: high as like Alabama Michigan, but it's still high. Arizona 140 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: is laying seven and a half points in this one. 141 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna make this as John Kella Pari and has 142 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: how John Kella Pari's record has been. This is the 143 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: biggest dog he has been since he was a dog 144 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: of seven and a half points with UMass up against Kentucky, 145 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: a game in which Kentucky won and covered easily. Patino 146 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: blew out John Calipari, here's Tommy Lloyd. This number has 147 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: been creeping down. I think the problem for Arkansas is 148 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: that they're not going to be able to stop the 149 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: interior scoring for Arizona, the bigs for Arizona. I think 150 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: there's a really big problem here for Arkansas. Defensively. I 151 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: don't think they're going to be able to stop this offense. 152 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: And I think you're going to see a ton of 153 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: points being scored here for Arkansas, sorry for Arizona. Arizona 154 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: covering big spreads kind of concerns me a little bit here. 155 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 2: Away from home though they were thirteen and six ats, 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: they were eleven and a half point favorites against Utah State. 157 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: They crept over that and one by twelve. We were 158 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: on them. We saw Arkansas and not cover against High Point. 159 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: They were laying twelve and a half and they won 160 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: by six. But Rick Patino has been an absolute master, 161 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: Sorry John calipariy rather has been an absolute master in 162 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: this tournament. He's been a dog in this turnnament thirteen times. 163 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: He's nine to three to one ATS. When he has 164 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: been with Arkansas in Kentucky, he's seven to zero to 165 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: one ats. And John Kellapari as a dog of four 166 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: points or more in the NAA Tournament is seven and 167 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: one ats. So I don't want to get involved with 168 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: this directly from a point spread perspective. I want to 169 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: look at a team total, and I think Arizona's going 170 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: to score ninety points in this game. I think they 171 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: get up and down. I think they're going to put 172 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: a hurting defensively on this Arkansas team. Kempalm has the 173 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: number at eighty seven. In eighty seven point performance for 174 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: Arizona against Arkansas, the number is eighty seven and a half. 175 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: It's minus one to eight, minus one ten depending on 176 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: the book. But this is the fourth most efficient offense, 177 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: the forty fourth in effective field goal percentage. But you're 178 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: up against the two hundred and seventy fifth defense with 179 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: two point defense for Arkansas, up against a top fifty 180 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: offense shooting the. 181 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: Three and in the paint. 182 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: I just think there's a big mismatch with the power 183 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: players with the strength and size you're running out there 184 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: with guys who are seven to guys who are six', 185 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: eight guys who are six,', nine like there's just a 186 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: lot of size in Bulk. FOR arizona i don't think 187 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: that that. Factors, In well Darius a. Cup's tremendous he 188 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: may go off and score a ton of. POINTS himself 189 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: I think arizona's probably comfortable. With that just shut down. 190 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: EVERYBODY else I think arizona probably. Does COVER but i 191 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: think the better play is to Just take arizona with 192 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: their team total to go over eighty seven and a 193 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: half because of their advantage that they have in. The 194 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: paint We're going arizona team total over eighty seven and 195 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: a half points Up against arkansaw here and then for 196 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: the last game Here, on thursday we go and Talk 197 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: about Illinois. And HOUSTON now i already have a bet 198 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: on this GAME because I have houston winning the bracket 199 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: at plus. 200 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: One ten this is going to be a. 201 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: Tough, MATCHUP okay i don't mind if somebody wants to 202 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: go ahead and grab a Hold of illinois plus three and. 203 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: A HALF but i think you bet, an endgame. 204 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: ALL right i think you've got to watch and see 205 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: how this, plays Out because illinois's offense matches up very 206 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: very well Up. Against houston three point shot is an. 207 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: Ultimate Equalizer brad underwood Coached AT Steven F Austin brad 208 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: underwood going back To the. Houston area this is not 209 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: foreign territory. For him he lived there. For years houston 210 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: is Awesome, In, Houston okay when they Play, in houston they. 211 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: Haven't lost when they play in the State, of texas 212 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: they are also very difficult. TO beat I like houston 213 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: to win, this GAME but i am afraid of the 214 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: number at three and a half in, CLIMBING here i. 215 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: Don't know my event might go to four if it 216 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: keeps on. GOING up i think you have to jump 217 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: in And take illinois at. Some Point kelvin sampson has 218 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: not been great in this tournament late as a get 219 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: later into, this tournament things have kind of gone a 220 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: little shaky. For him houston is a dominant, team DEFENSIVELY 221 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: so i don't hate the underthought on. This Game but 222 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: i've got a plus one ten Bet. ON houston i 223 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: think they beat whoever Wins for Nebraska Or iowa houston 224 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: Beats or illinois beats, That team i'm gonna go. IN 225 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: game i got plus one Ten.
