I swear I watched seventy two 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 5: hours of college basketball yesterday. I know that's not possible. 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 5: That's what it feels. Take the over over right. I 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 5: know you were watching wall to wall both you guys 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 5: over there, and we had a ton of action highlighted 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 5: by Yale Yale beating Auburn. I don't even want to 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 5: tell you how far I had Auburn going. 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: Uh oh, it was ugly. 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 5: I was seeing visions of them taking down you con 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 5: and they are one and done. 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: How about that? 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just incredible. I mean, not only is it 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 4: incredible to see a low seed beat a high seed, 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 4: but what's really interesting is when you're watching a high 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 4: seed struggle, Like you're watching a team get taken out 34 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: of the game. They want to play because all of 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 4: a sudden they're just nervous, or they get into foul 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: trouble early. And it's on such a big stage that 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 4: the adjustments that these teams need to make in order 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: to keep pace. Now, with a call it an eleven seed, 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 4: that was a popular thing to see take down a 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 4: high seed two days ago. Just just gain confidence and 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: start making shots and see the ball go in and 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 4: then it's just a completely different game. It doesn't matter 43 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 4: how you're ranked walking in the door, it's how the 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 4: ball's bouncing. And I love March. We've seen the ball 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: bounce into so many directions already. It's been awesome. 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 6: It's it's such a great it's such a great sport. 47 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 6: It's so pure. 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 7: It really is, like and I know, college football is 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 7: still is kind of the vibe, but we're at the 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 7: point now with these bigger schools that it's just it's 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 7: basically professional. And I know that these kids at the 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 7: men's basketball level, they get a lot of money in 53 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 7: IL two is a lot of money there, but I 54 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 7: don't think there's a lot of money flowing through Longwood 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 7: or Grambling or you know, any of these other schools 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 7: that maybe you know had that opportunity yesterday to unseat 57 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 7: the giant. 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 6: Yale is a good example. 59 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, the IVY League changed a little bit over the 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 7: last few years with college hoops, but there's there's still 61 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 7: just a level. 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 6: Of purity to these kids. 63 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 7: And then the next favorite part for me is how 64 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 7: the moment has its impact, like the pressurization of college sports. 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 7: For example, Texas A and m yesterday, Texas A and 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 7: M's wont the worst shooting teams in the country. They 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 7: are out of three hundred and sixty something college basketball schools, 68 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 7: they're like three forty fourth and shooting and tropped ninety 69 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 7: eight on Nebraska yesterday and shot fifty six percent from three. 70 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 7: Like just the way that these players rise and sometimes 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 7: fall to the moment, right missing free throws, bone headed mistakes, 72 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 7: just the pressure of the moment and the impact that 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 7: has on these college kids and some people who rise 74 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 7: and others who don't. 75 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 6: It's it's just it's it's a fascinating watch man. 76 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 5: And that's the thing that's so interesting to me about 77 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 5: college basketball in general is you take Yale in particular. 78 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 5: They barely beat Brown, a team with the losing record, 79 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 5: in the IVY League championship game right the conference tournament, 80 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: and they needed a minor miracle to survive against Brown. 81 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: Like Yale was down late, they hit sort of like 82 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 5: a fade away three to make it a closer game. 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 5: Down the stretch, they had a buzzer beater and they 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 5: beat Brown. And you're thinking, Okay, Auburn is really good. 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: They really get after you. They play actual defense, which 86 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 5: a lot of teams in the SEC are allergic two 87 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 5: playing Kentucky Alabama. We'll get into those teams and their struggles, 88 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 5: but against Auburn, it's one of those games where I'm like, yeah, 89 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 5: not against Auburn though, right. And that game also was 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 5: pretty sneaky in a way where I would pay attention 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 5: to it. But there were other games going on where 92 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 5: I had my eye on Auburn, but I kept feeling like, Okay, 93 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 5: they can't shake Yale, but they're keeping them at arm's 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 5: length right until the end. And then Yale makes that 95 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 5: push and and Auburn couldn't come back, and the sequence 96 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 5: at the end where there were fouls and Auburn is 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 5: buckling at the free throw line, it was an amazing. 98 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 4: It just really when you Okay, so anybody who's catching up, 99 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: you know, in terms of your bracket, you may have 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 4: circled d L, You've probably circled Auburn, But just to 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 4: give you perspective, Auburn, Auburn in the Kempom rankings, I'm 102 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: pretty sure was fourth in the country. Yeah, Like so 103 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: this was a team that dabbled with being the top 104 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 4: seeded team in the nation, Like this is as good 105 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 4: as it gets. And for Yale to come out and 106 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 4: win this game in the opening round and shock the 107 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: world and play the best game where I don't want 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 4: to say the best game because that's that's probably saying 109 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 4: too much, but is that the best team a Yale 110 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: basketball team has ever beaten in the history of Yale. 111 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: You could probably make that argument. This is a team 112 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 4: that should have appeared in the final four. 113 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 2: Probably. 114 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 4: I mean, if you trust the rankings, if you trust analytics, 115 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 4: if you trust you know, the nerdy guys who are 116 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 4: literally putting these games that these teams play through their 117 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 4: algorithms before putting a ranking on them, that's where they 118 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 4: should have landed this year. And instead they're heading home 119 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 4: and Yale's advancing to the round of thirty two. 120 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 7: Yeah, Alburns was the only team coming into the tournament, 121 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 7: the only team that was top ten both ken Palm 122 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 7: offense and defense. Not even Yukon, not even Houston, not 123 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 7: even Purdue was top ten in both categories. They were, 124 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 7: for lack of a better word, the most balanced team 125 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 7: in the field. Now, Yukon was eleventh in defense. It 126 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 7: wasn't like they were in a way down the list. 127 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 6: They're right there. 128 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 7: And you know, you can make arguments about a couple 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 7: of percentage points here or there, a couple of ticks 130 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 7: in one direction, maybe Yukon should have been in the 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 7: top ten, blah blah blah, But the point being Auburn 132 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 7: was one of the best analytical teams in the field 133 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 7: and a very popular choice. Like everyone was trying to 134 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 7: figure out a way to win their bracket pool this year, 135 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 7: and a lot of really smart people that I converse 136 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 7: with on a daily basis all came to the conclusion 137 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 7: that the only way you're gonna win your bracket pool 138 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 7: this year is if you figure out the team that 139 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: beats Yukon, because everyone is putting Yukon in the championship game, 140 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 7: and the only way to win your bracket is to 141 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 7: do what everyone else doesn't do. So a lot of 142 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 7: people thought that one four matchup against Auburn was the 143 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 7: spot because Auburn was balanced, they had size, they had pedigree, 144 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 7: they had good coaching, they had played in a good 145 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 7: conference with great athletes. But you know, March has other ideas, 146 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 7: and I just think you now look at the field, 147 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 7: and let's be honest, guys. 148 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 6: We've been talking about this for the last month. 149 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 7: There are three teams in college basketball, and then there 150 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 7: is everybody else. 151 00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 6: How good did those. 152 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 7: Three teams look this weekend or this week They all 153 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 7: look pretty darn good. 154 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 6: Purdue covered had their. 155 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 7: Moments against Grambling in the first half, but pulled away 156 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 7: in the second half. Houston, I mean goodness, gracious, Yukon, 157 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 7: Holy moly, that was like from the start that game 158 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 7: was over. I don't know who else is beating those 159 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 7: three teams. Someone's gonna beat them, maybe maybe one of 160 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 7: them beats each other. But I think the gap between 161 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 7: those three and everyone else a lot bigger than we think. 162 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 5: Well, hey man, in the hits keep coming for the 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 5: SEC in a bad way, because it wasn't just Auburn 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 5: losing that was the highlight there. Well, you could argue 165 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 5: it was the highlight of Friday, but the highlight of 166 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 5: Thursday was Kentucky going down. 167 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 3: They lose to Oakland. 168 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 5: So Kentucky, they lose to a double digit seed for 169 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 5: the second time in three years. Right where you think 170 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 5: about the first round two years ago against Saint Peter's 171 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 5: they lose that game, and then this year against Oakland 172 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: as a fourteen seed, Kentucky goes down. Also, South Carolina 173 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: crashed and burned, they got whooped. They were in an 174 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 5: ugly game against Oregon. Oregon handled them easily. Florida made 175 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: a nice little push at the end, but then they 176 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 5: lose that game against Colorado that was a crazy game, 177 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: score absolutely one. And then Mississippi State lost as well 178 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 5: the Sparti. So it's been brutal for the sec But 179 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: if you highlight that Kentucky game, man, it's the same 180 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 5: old song and dance for coach cal and he is 181 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 5: just getting absolutely roasted. The buyout is around thirty four 182 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 5: million dollars. When you start doing the math of how 183 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 5: much is the buyout and all that stuff. I thought 184 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: it was funny because one of the popular conversations was, hey, 185 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 5: what if Bruce Pearl left Auburn what he could do 186 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 5: at Kentucky. 187 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: And then the very next day his Auburn Tigers lost 188 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: those crazy going on there. 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: Oh no, and you know, and and good for Oakland, 190 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: good for that team understanding understanding a rule in basketball 191 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: that every team needs to understand better. It feels like 192 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: after watching two days of the tournament, when somebody has 193 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 4: a hot hand, feed him like, I don't I don't 194 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 4: get how Sometimes these these teams they get into their 195 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 4: half court offense, and you know, they they want to 196 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: set up, they want to get an open look. And 197 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 4: I get that too, and that's very important, and you 198 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: don't want to take bad shots. But sometimes when a 199 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 4: guy is just on fire, just get them the ball 200 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: anyway you can and just step back and let magic happen. 201 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: And that Golkey, John Golki, good, he made all those shots. 202 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's just I was watching. Okay, Obviously 203 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: in San Diego, we're all focused on San Diego State 204 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 4: against UAB and that was a much closer game than 205 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 4: I'm sure anybody wanted. But as I'm watching, I was like, well, 206 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: this is a very standard game that they've played all 207 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 4: season long. It doesn't matter playing up playing down competition. 208 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 4: They're going to be in a close game. It's going 209 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 4: to be a dogfight. But one thing that I was 210 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 4: happy they were doing is they were feeding their best player, 211 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 4: Jayden Ladie kept getting the ball. The same thing was 212 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: happening with Oakland. They're like, okay, our only chance is 213 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: if he keeps hitting three pointers and he hit ten 214 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 4: of them. It's just just do how many times did 215 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 4: you have a game on this the past two days 216 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 4: where you were like, why on earth are they not 217 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 4: giving name the number thirteen nine zero the ball and 218 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 4: scoring the basket like this? It seems so simple, and 219 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: yet I think certain coaches, certain teams overthink things. 220 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 6: I think you guys are going to really enjoy the 221 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 6: parlay platter. If you like Oakland, I. 222 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 7: Think, oh wow, So the thing about Oakland is, well, 223 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 7: there's two things. First of all, Pat on the back 224 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 7: to this show, because good luck finding another show that 225 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 7: talks about the Horizon League more than this one. Yeah, 226 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 7: And Oakland, out of the Horizon League, pulls off the 227 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 7: biggest stunner of the tournament on the first day. That 228 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 7: is why we put in the work during the months 229 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 7: that no one is watching college basketball. Because I'm going 230 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 7: to read you my note. So I do a capsule 231 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 7: on every team before the tournament starts. It is a 232 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 7: labor of love. It took me pretty much forty eight 233 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 7: hours straight. I'm going to read you what I wrote 234 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 7: for Oakland. This is why we put in the prep. 235 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 7: Better than you expect coming out of a bad Horizon 236 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,239 Speaker 7: League fifteen toughest non conference schedule at Ohio State, at Illinois, 237 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 7: at Drake, at Xavier, they won, at Michigan State at Dayton. 238 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 7: Beat all the teams they were supposed to fourteen to 239 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 7: zero quad four games average team metrically. But the one 240 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 7: thing that stands out is they can win close games. 241 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 7: They fit the profile of a team that's capable of 242 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 7: pulling off an upset entire lineup upperclassmen that was the 243 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 7: capsule I wrote on Oakland before the tournament. 244 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: So I love it. 245 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 7: I mean, I watched all these stupid games because we 246 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 7: watched the stupid Horizon League, because we love the stupid 247 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 7: Horizon League. The reason why we watched the stupid Horizon 248 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 7: League is because when they play in the tournament, I 249 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 7: want to know if this team can pull off an upset. 250 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 6: Now, I'm not gonna say I was all. 251 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 7: In on the upset, but I had a little piece 252 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 7: of Oakland money line now felt really good. 253 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 6: I think they can carry it over. And here's why. 254 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 7: They play a zone that is really tough to prepare 255 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 7: for in short rest. Remember Syracuse did this for years 256 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 7: with Jim Beheim. It is really hard to do a 257 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 7: turnaround and play this weird Amiba zone that Oakland plays. 258 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 7: And Kentucky couldn't figure it out and they couldn't make shots. 259 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 7: I don't know, if I'll be honest. NZ States had 260 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 7: a nice little run, but this could be an interesting game. 261 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 7: I think Oakland's very live here. 262 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. This is my favorite stat maybe 263 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: of all time. That might be over selling this, but 264 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 5: certainly in college basketball this season. Jack Goldkey, who hit 265 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 5: those ten three pointers against Kentucky. On the season, he 266 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 5: took three hundred and forty seven evan shots from three 267 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,239 Speaker 5: point range. He took eight shots from two point range. 268 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 5: This guy lived behind the three point line. To put 269 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: it mildly, he had eight shots from two point range 270 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 5: on the season. Yeah, that blows my mind. But obviously 271 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: it came up huge against Kentucky as the second most 272 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 5: made threes in the NCAA tournament with ten of them 273 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 5: against uk SO and the hits keep coming for John 274 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 5: Caliperry right, Jared mentioned it upper classmen. 275 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: That was the whole thing, Like the. 276 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 5: Whole breakdown of Oakland right there, highlighted by upper classmen, 277 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 5: which is a theme with Kentucky where they've got all 278 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: these recruits their studs, but they're really young. And we 279 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 5: always talk about the three point line being the great equalizer, 280 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: and it is, but also upper classmen can be the 281 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: great equalizer as well, and you're starting to see that 282 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 5: more and more and more. It's more than just a 283 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 5: one off or a two off. This is a growing 284 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 5: trend with Kentucky where they're going up against teams with upperclassmen, 285 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 5: and it shows we'll have much more on this as 286 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 5: we go forth here.

How 326 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 5: about this, guys, where it feels like Samford getting ripped 327 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 5: off against Kansas happened like a week and a half ago. 328 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys feel the same way. 329 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 4: I agree. 330 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 5: It was two days ago, but there were so many 331 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 5: games and so much stuff from yesterday, it feels like 332 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 5: forever ago. But Samford, they had a beautiful block in transition. 333 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: There was a breakaway dunk. 334 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 5: You know, Kansas broke the press in the final minute 335 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 5: and Samford went up no contact text block, phantom foul 336 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 5: is called changed everything. Samford was trailing by one point 337 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 5: at the time. They would have had the ball with 338 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 5: roughly fifteen seconds to go. Instead, Kansas goes through the 339 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 5: foul line, they hit both free throws, they go up 340 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 5: by three, Kansas goes on to win, and it's just 341 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 5: a shame. 342 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 4: We don't know. 343 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 5: Kansas might have ended up winning that game, but Samford 344 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 5: should have had a chance with again about fifteen seconds 345 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 5: to go down by one point, to see if they 346 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 5: could figure out a way to win that game. And 347 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 5: the question becomes, we have replay for all this stuff, 348 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 5: and it's so annoying they how they rely on replay 349 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 5: to an absurd degree where it's like, okay, I'm pretty sure. 350 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 5: I'm ninety nine percent sure it was off of the 351 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 5: blue team, but let's check the replay to make sure 352 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 5: it's not the other way around. And it's like, guys, 353 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 5: just just make a call and stand by it. You 354 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 5: don't have to check everything decimal point of the clock. 355 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 5: You don't have to review these plays that are obvious 356 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: just to make sure it grinds the game down. So 357 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 5: that's one part of the conversation. The other part is 358 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 5: with what happened to Samford. You say you can review goaltending. 359 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 5: You can review if the ball was off this team 360 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 5: or that team. You can look at the time on 361 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: the clock, but you can't review something that's obviously wrong, 362 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 5: like a phantom file that was called. 363 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 3: So it's like two discussions in one. 364 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 5: On one hand, it's ridiculous the amount of stoppages, and 365 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 5: on the other hand, I'm bringing up the possibility of, hey, guys, 366 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 5: what about more stoppages? Though, I just think, long story short, 367 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 5: you gotta look at something rivaling what we're talking about 368 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 5: in the NFL with a sky judge, someone who's there, 369 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: especially in the NC DOUBLEA tournament. I don't know that 370 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 5: you can have this in the Horizon League in the 371 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: lower levels, but when you get to the NC DOUBLEA tournament, 372 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 5: you should have a sky judge that's there to correct 373 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: the obviously blown calls. We can't have a system where 374 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 5: it's like, oh, obviously it should be Sanmford's ball, but 375 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 5: we can't do anything about that. It's just wrong and 376 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 5: something's got to be done about that. 377 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 4: This one's stung if you're watching this game. The run 378 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 4: that Sanford put together, especially the way the game started. 379 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: Kansas cracked this game wide open, and it looked like 380 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: it was going to be a runway and Sanmford just 381 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: chipped away at that early lead and they were pesky 382 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: and you mentioned it, but Jaden Campbell, guard for Sanford, 383 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: was able to cut the lead twice within the last 384 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 4: eighty seconds, the last time before the faithful foul was 385 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: called on a breakaway from Timberlake. It was Stanton McCrae 386 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: who was able to chase him down to get a 387 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 4: hand on the ball. And look when you watch that play, 388 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: and I've watched it over and over and over again, 389 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: you know, live during the game, but then even on 390 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 4: social media it went viral and you couldn't avoid it. 391 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: If you're paying attention to college basketball. The one thing 392 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 4: that came to my mind is slow motion has ruined 393 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 4: sports watching for most fans. Let me explain. So replay, 394 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 4: I used to say, is the is what's ruined you know, 395 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 4: all sports, because it's nauseating how often that can interrupt 396 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: game flow. And then a team that has momentum loses 397 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 4: the momentum because they're sitting and they're looking at a JumboTron, 398 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 4: or they're you know, having one of those you know, 399 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 4: half hearted huddles on the sideline before the game resumes, 400 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 4: and it gives you know, the defense if you're playing football, 401 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 4: time to catch their breath. If you're playing basketball, sometimes 402 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 4: you got a team on ice skates and all these 403 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: stoppages gives them a little time to regroup. I hate 404 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: that because it's anti sport. The whole purpose of running 405 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 4: a full court press is to tire out your opponent, 406 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 4: and if all of a sudden they get a replay break, 407 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 4: it ruins. It ruins the momentum you've built up for yourself. 408 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: It recharges their batteries. So I'm not really a fan 409 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 4: of replay in general. But the reason why we have 410 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 4: replay is because we have slow motion replay. And what 411 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 4: I mean by that is when the broadcast shows us 412 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 4: in super slow motion, frame by frame exactly how that 413 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 4: amazing play went down, or that that foul went down. Well, 414 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 4: now we have all the information we need to adjudicate 415 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: that play. It drives people bonkers. It's like, well, how 416 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: did that ref call that foul? It's like, well, because 417 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 4: he may not have had the best angle. Maybe he 418 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 4: was standing on the baseline and he saw the hand 419 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 4: touch a hand, you know, maybe he saw it differently, 420 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: maybe he saw the body go into the body. It's 421 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 4: just a perspective thing, and it's also completely subjective. But 422 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 4: since we have the vantage point of seeing it from 423 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: four different other camera angle and we have it in 424 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 4: super slow motion, the fans desire a perfectly called game now, 425 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: and it's impossible to have a perfectly called game. I'm 426 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 4: not making an excuse for a ref. He butchered the call. 427 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 4: It shouldn't have been a foul. Stanton McCrae got all ball. 428 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: I don't want to hear any conversation about goltating or 429 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 4: anything like. I don't there was This was just a 430 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 4: great basketball play and a kid made an awesome play 431 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 4: on the ball. However, I'm almost more in favor of 432 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 4: less camrangles and more just actual basketball than I am 433 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 4: replaying ourselves to death because that will kill that will 434 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 4: kill the magic. That's March madness. 435 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the first of all, that was a 436 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 6: fantastic grant. 437 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: I love that. 438 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 5: Totally disagree with it, all right, I totally disagree with it, 439 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 5: But go ahead, Terary. 440 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 7: I'll go Well, I'll be honest, I don't have a 441 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 7: whole lot of like you know, discourse here. 442 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 6: I'll say this. 443 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 7: I think we should review everything in the final minute 444 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 7: of both halves, not that definitely the final minute of 445 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 7: the second half, you know, like a two minute warning 446 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 7: kind of thing in the NFL, where it's just we 447 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 7: can't make a mistake at that time. I'm okay with 448 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 7: getting rid of replay earlier parts of the game because 449 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 7: I agree, when there's eighteen minutes left in the first half, 450 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 7: we don't need to go to the monitor to see 451 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 7: if you know whatever, like just just keep playing. And 452 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 7: there's so many things, like the basketball is such a 453 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 7: volume sport that things happen back and forth, like it's 454 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 7: just you know, usually if one team gets a break, 455 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 7: the other team gets a call on the other end, 456 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 7: and that's just the way that the game works. We 457 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 7: hear makeup calls all the time. It happens in college 458 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 7: basketball all the time. 459 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 6: The review stuff, I don't know. 460 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 7: Save me on this one, Brian, I honestly don't know 461 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 7: what the right answer is because I agree with Rich 462 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 7: too much is bad. But also we can't have these 463 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 7: calls be wrong, Like, we need to get these things right. 464 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 7: And these guys are what's sixty five years old running 465 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 7: up and down the floor for a few hours. 466 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 6: And it's tough. 467 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,239 Speaker 7: It's tough to see what they what actually happens when 468 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 7: you've got these guys flying around up in the air 469 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 7: and you got to point the exact moment that the 470 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 7: ball gets tough. So I think replaying the final minute 471 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 7: makes sense to get the really bad stuff at the 472 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 7: end of the game that really impacts the game, right. 473 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 6: But man, it's it's too much. Replaces it is. 474 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be another instance of brothers fighting with 475 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 5: my guy, Rich Oh, rich O versus No. 476 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: I'll sit back and relax, Yeah, and judge. 477 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 5: Jared, you know, we'll get right back into it. But 478 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 5: there's a special treat here today our guy, Dan Bayer, 479 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: look at this is grazing us with his presence. 480 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: Dan, What is going on? 481 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 4: Buddy? 482 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: Guys, let me just ask you this. 483 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 9: Would you feel any differently if the roles were reversed? 484 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: And I guess this is more for Brian. 485 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 9: If Kansas was the one that got screwed and not 486 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 9: the super. 487 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 5: I like Samford, I would spoken yeah. 488 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 3: But it's a great point by you. 489 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 5: Lands differently when it's Cinderella and it's the little engine 490 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,479 Speaker 5: that could, Right, Yeah, it absolutely factors in. 491 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a Cinderella in the desert. 492 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 9: Twelve seated Grand Canyon based out of Phoenix, but still 493 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 9: Greg Canyon. 494 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: The upset to wrap. 495 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 9: Up first round play last night of fifth seed Saint 496 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 9: Mary's in that West region seventy five to sixty six. 497 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 9: Then the action picks up in the West in Salt 498 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 9: Lake City today number two Arizona, number seven Dayton playing 499 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 9: at twelve forty five Eastern time.

I 529 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 5: know we're heavy hoops today, but Lugerious Snake, Yeah, I 530 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 5: didn't even know that. 531 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 6: Honestly, Dan just broke the news to me. Oh, I 532 00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 6: was so hoops. 533 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: I don't even know that. 534 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 5: It was late last night yet. Getting traded from the Chiefs. Goodness, 535 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 5: the back to back defending champion Chiefs going for a 536 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 5: three beat and they trade Lugerious need. They franchised them right, 537 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: They gave him the franchise tag and they were shopping 538 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 5: him around and they trade him to the Titans. They 539 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 5: swap seventh round picks this season for this year's draft, 540 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 5: and the Chiefs get a third rounder. 541 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 3: Next year in that twenty very cheap, very. 542 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 5: Cheap, but big loss for the Chiefs and a nice 543 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 5: get for the Titans. I'll tell you what, man, We're 544 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: always looking at CJ. Stroud in that same division, and 545 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 5: he was fantastic last season, and they're going pretty much 546 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 5: all in. 547 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: They're trying to do it. 548 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 5: Joe Burrow Bengals thing rookie contract. Hey, let's go out 549 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 5: and get danil Hunter. Pay him with Will Anderson Junior. 550 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 5: So that Texans they are they're building around Stroud and 551 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 5: taking advantage of the rookie deal. The Titans they've been 552 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 5: aggressive and our guy, Will the Thrill levis you know, 553 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 5: if he's anything. They've gone out and they've been aggressive. 554 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 5: They get Calvin Ridley, they go out and they make 555 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 5: a trade and get lugitious need. If Will the Thrill 556 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 5: is good at all, the Titans could make a little 557 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 5: bit of noise next season. 558 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Titans are putting together a little bit of 559 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 4: a squad. And I will say this, when you look 560 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 4: at Seed, he is kind of a peculiar guy, right. 561 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 4: He started off as a slot corner. He wasn't trusted 562 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 4: to cover number ones or on the outside, and then 563 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 4: he transitioned there. But he had great versatility, so he 564 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: could play in the box as a blitzer off the edge, 565 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 4: and Steve Spagnulo did some things with that defense to hide, 566 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 4: you know, some of his limitations and really focus on 567 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: and highlight some of the things he did well. Now 568 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 4: he goes to Tennessee and I presume he's gonna be 569 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 4: used the same way. But there are certain players who 570 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: look better in one system and when they switch things up, 571 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 4: they really they struggle. I mean, look at what happened 572 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 4: to a Jamal Adams right when he went from the 573 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: Jets to the Seahawks. He looked like a completely different player. 574 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 4: And I understand it's a completely different position. We're talking corner, 575 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 4: not safety, but I'm very curious to see if that 576 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 4: was part of the reason why it was a little 577 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 4: bit of a slow trade market for Lajerius sneed, or 578 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 4: if it was all linked to the fact that he 579 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 4: wanted a big contract and maybe some of the purse 580 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 4: strings were tighter around the NFL in terms of how 581 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: much a corner was going to be paid this offseason. 582 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 4: But either way, getting back to the point you made originally, 583 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 4: I think the Titans are looking at this AFC South 584 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 4: and saying, hey, we're gonna sink really quick, especially when 585 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 4: you look over the fence and you see what CJ. 586 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 4: Stroud and the Houston Texans are doing in free agency, 587 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 4: and then with this upcoming draft. Don't forget they hit 588 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 4: on the edge rusher out Alabama to last year. Nobody's 589 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 4: been talking about Will Anderson having a good seat for 590 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 4: them as well. So they're drafting well, they're playing well, 591 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 4: and the AFC South is going to be an exciting 592 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 4: division and they have to be competitive, so they're making 593 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 4: they're making adjustments to be competitive. 594 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 6: Man, I'll tell you what that Titans secondary. 595 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 7: So last year the rookie at Louisiana, Eric Or played 596 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 7: pretty well, and they got Chadobi a Uzier from the 597 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 7: Bengals too, And now you add Snead to that mix, 598 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 7: you know you've already got a good front right with 599 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 7: Simmons and Joseph Dane. I mean, goodness, cracious. This Titans defense. 600 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 7: Dennard Wilson, the new Titans defensive coordinator coming in from Baltimore, 601 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 7: the d Backs coach last year, I mean, talk about 602 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 7: going from. 603 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 6: Riches to riches. 604 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 7: You go from the Ravens defense, which was unreal last year, 605 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 7: and now you come in and he's. 606 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: He was the d backs coach for the Ravens. 607 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 7: So that's not a coincidence that the new defensive coordinator, 608 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 7: former defensive backs coach, they bring in Chadobi Auzier and 609 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 7: now Lagerius snead that secondary with a good coach that 610 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 7: knows how to coach the secondary. I mean that defense 611 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 7: could be legit next year. 612 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 5: And it does show you super fast. It shows you 613 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 5: what you have to do when you don't get it 614 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 5: right in the draft. You know, the Chiefs they hit 615 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 5: on Lagitious Need in the fourth round, and he was 616 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 5: sensational last season and mostly throughout his Chief's tenure. Right there, 617 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,959 Speaker 5: the Titans couple of years ago, they get Caleb Farley 618 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 5: in the first round. He can't stay healthy, can't get 619 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 5: on the field, and so they have to trade and 620 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 5: splurge on Lagarious Need. Right like, you have to fix 621 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 5: what you got wrong in the draft. That it gets 622 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 5: really expensive when you do that. We go from Riches 623 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 5: to Rich huh. Turned my attention to Rich Hornberger over 624 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 5: here and railing against all things replay. I'll just say this, 625 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 5: I don't need or want perfection with replay. I just 626 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 5: need the obvious mistakes to be corrected. I think we're 627 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 5: over using replay and we're trying to make sure. Hey, 628 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 5: let's see if the guy's pinky. 629 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 3: Toe is on the line or not. I don't know. 630 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 5: Let's spend three minutes on this. That's what's overkill. I'll 631 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 5: give you an example. Tennis gets it right. No one 632 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 5: complains about replaying tennis because one. 633 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: Player is like, eh, review that. 634 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 5: It takes ten seconds and the ball is in the 635 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 5: correct call was made. No one's like, oh, this replay 636 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 5: fixing things. We bang on replay because of the amount 637 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 5: of time it takes. That's why they're misusing it. Replay 638 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 5: itself isn't bad. It's how they're misusing it and relying 639 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 5: on it too much and taking too long. You just 640 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 5: can't have the wrong team win. 641 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 4: I go back. 642 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 5: My dad is from Alton, Illinois, just outside of Saint Louis. 643 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 5: I hope he's not listening. This morning's probably the only 644 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 5: time I've ever said that. Ye In nineteen eighty five, 645 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 5: day Lewis Cardinals got hose. 646 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 3: There was the Don Dankinger World Series. 647 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 5: Ninth inning, Cardinals are leading Game six, won nothing against 648 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 5: the Royals. The guy is out by a full step 649 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 5: at first base. Wrong call is made. This is well 650 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 5: before replay. The Royals rally, they win Game six, they 651 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 5: go on to win the World Series. The wrong team 652 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 5: won the World Series. You can't have that, and you're 653 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 5: having that sometimes in football, sometimes in basketball where the 654 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 5: wrong team is winning. Because we only have limited usage 655 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 5: of replay, it's got to be quicker. You can't rely 656 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 5: on it as heavily at times. But replay itself isn't bad. 657 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 5: It's just how it's utilized and how long it takes. 658 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 5: But I think more times than not it corrects the 659 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 5: obvious mistakes, and I think you should be able to 660 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 5: have more access. You just can't abuse it, and they 661 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 5: do that. That's where I would meet you halfway on it. 662 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 4: Rich, Yeah, and I do. I actually didn't realize you're 663 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 4: gonna see it as much ground as you did in 664 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 4: the argument, because the truth is, this is a complex conversation, 665 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 4: and I think that's pretty measured what you said there. 666 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 4: It is brutal how anti sport replay is. Because I've 667 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 4: been in moments where you're on a drive and you're 668 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 4: leaning on the defense. I'm talking about football. That's the 669 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 4: sport I came from, where you can see it in 670 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 4: the eyes of the defenders. You're playing against the linebackers, 671 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 4: the lineman up front in the box. It's the fourth 672 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 4: quarter and you've worn them down all game, and now 673 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 4: you're on this long, say thirteen play drive. You're in 674 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 4: the fringe area where maybe if your kicker came on 675 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 4: the field, you get three points. There's a close play 676 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 4: at the sideline. It's a catch, but did he step 677 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 4: out of bounds before or after the first down marker? 678 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, you have this two 679 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 4: minute intermission while the officials stare into a monitor and 680 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 4: put on a headset. The defense completely recovers, they make 681 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 4: a play on the football, and second down or third down, 682 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 4: whatever it is, your kicking team comes on the field. 683 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 4: Instead of putting your foot on the gas and leaning 684 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 4: on that defense who was tired moments ago. It's one 685 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 4: of the most frustrating things in the world for an 686 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 4: athlete when you have momentum and it's taken away by pee. 687 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 4: I can't tell you how many times I've been on 688 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 4: the field begging the officials, like, listen, even if you 689 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 4: blow this call, we prefer to just continue this drive 690 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 4: and stress out this defense rather than have you guys 691 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: give them the rest they so they need so badly. 692 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 4: And that's how you feel in a basketball game. College basketball, 693 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 4: why do you employ a full court press is to 694 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 4: tire out and to frustrate your opponents. So when you 695 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 4: take that away with you know, an officiating system that 696 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 4: gives them the ability to stop the action at any point. 697 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 4: It feels like at any point they want. Obviously there's 698 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 4: only certain calls they can replay. It's highly frustrated and 699 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 4: I feel like less is more in this situation. But 700 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 4: I know there's so many different opinions about this nailed it. 701 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 6: I have no disagreements. Continue with the show, well done 702 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 6: by a huggs, bugs and kisses. 703 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 3: Judge, Jared, I like that. 704 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just played my thumbs up one for you 705 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 5: and for the judge rules in favor of both parties.

It 733 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 7: would have been like a like a fifteen unit day 734 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 7: for me, which is, you know, I don't bet that 735 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 7: many units per days, so that's a lot. But you're 736 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 7: only as good as your last bet. So here we 737 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 7: go a little bit of a different. Usually I do 738 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 7: the three team money line parlays, right, guys, today, well 739 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 7: there's not as many games. There has only eight games 740 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 7: choose from. But also I just I got enough juice 741 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 7: out of this one with two that I didn't feel 742 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 7: the need to stretch it to a third. And I 743 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 7: always seem to make two out of three on these 744 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 7: big underhog parlays. So maybe now that we're at a 745 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,280 Speaker 7: two legger, we'll win one. I have to put Oakland 746 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 7: money Line in the parlay. They are about a six 747 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 7: six and a half point underdog today against NC State. 748 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 7: I love the story that NC State's put forth. You 749 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 7: want to talk about Cinderella, you throw NC State's name 750 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 7: into the mix too, right, little valvado Asque with what 751 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 7: they did in the ACEC tournament, and then of course 752 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 7: winning as an underdog the other night against Texas Stack, 753 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 7: who did not look good. But I just love this story. 754 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,959 Speaker 7: Jack Golky, make it a bunch of threes. NC State 755 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 7: has been susceptible to the three ball this year, so 756 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 7: we will put Oakland money Line as the first leg 757 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 7: of the parlay. And the best thing I like about 758 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 7: this parlay, both of these games are played in the 759 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 7: same region, so when one game ends, the other game 760 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 7: can't start, and that means we can come off the 761 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 7: other side if we want to. I don't think we're 762 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 7: going to you, though, because the late night game organ 763 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 7: against Creighton. Oh, give me some data, Altman, Baby, Dana 764 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 7: Altman is the most profitable coach against the spread in 765 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 7: the tournament sixteen six and one ats. When Oregon goes 766 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 7: to the tournament Under Dana Altman, Oregon wins games. They 767 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 7: make it to the sweet sixteen more often than not. 768 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 7: And tonight they play Creighton. They're about a five point underdog. 769 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 7: And listen, Creighton has showed weaknesses on multiple occasions this year. 770 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 7: So we'll put Oregon and Creighton on the money line 771 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 7: and shoose me Oregon and Oakland the parlay. 772 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 4: It's eight to one. 773 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 6: Oh, what do you think guys? 774 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 2: Oakland? 775 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 4: Orgon? 776 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 3: You know, I could see you throwing up the oh. 777 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 4: Oh. 778 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 5: I just don't know if you can throw up the 779 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 5: O for Oakland. Also, it's an Oregon thing, you know 780 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 5: what I mean? 781 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, I don't know. 782 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 5: I feel like doing the U for Miami and somebody else. 783 00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 3: I don't know if you can do that. Come it 784 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 3: up today. We'll get to them. 785 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 5: We are feeling the hoops flow here today as the 786 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 5: madness continues on here in March. You know what's interesting, guys, 787 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 5: is this one's so great about the tournament is if 788 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 5: you look at the eight games today, I'm just asking myself, 789 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 5: what is the headlining game? 790 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like, think of a concert. 791 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 5: If it's one of these like Lollapalooza where you have 792 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 5: a lot of bands, a lot of musical acts, what's 793 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 5: the headliner? 794 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? 795 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 5: So if you apply that to today's slate of games, 796 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 5: you start looking closer and you're like, oh, man, I 797 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 5: don't know, is it is it Gonzaga and Kansas. 798 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 4: It might. 799 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 5: Spy in North Carolina up right, it might be. But 800 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 5: the point is this, It's not a negative thing to say, like, oh. 801 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 3: We don't have any freaking headliner games over here. 802 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 5: That's not what I'm saying is we we're gonna have 803 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 5: great action, We're gonna have some crazy things happen. It's 804 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 5: gonna be a tremendous day of hoops. But you don't 805 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 5: have that marquee headlining game. And to me, that's more 806 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 5: of the magic of the tournament where heading in you 807 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 5: might not be all things dukuine versus Illinois right like 808 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,399 Speaker 5: before the games are played. But one of these games 809 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 5: is gonna turn into like a Yale Auburn type game. 810 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 5: Who was talking about Oakland and Kentucky before the game 811 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 5: was played and that's all we're talking about afterward. I 812 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 5: think today could be the same thing. 813 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 4: I agree with you. I mean and and beware of 814 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 4: these eleven seeds this year. And I know Oregon was 815 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 4: an eleven seed. They were favored in the opening round. 816 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 4: So it's it's kind of it's kind of tough to 817 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 4: but you're looking at some of these these matchups as 818 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 4: they're heading into the second round and they don't necessarily 819 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 4: look unco mentionable to see one of these eleven seeds 820 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 4: advancing to the sweet sixteen. So the Dukes against the 821 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 4: fighting a Lion, I has my interest. This NC State 822 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 4: Oakland game has my interest. But yeah, Michigan State North 823 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,879 Speaker 4: Carolina because of the blue blood aspect, because of what 824 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,240 Speaker 4: we know about college hoops, the coaches, you know, the names, 825 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 4: you know, those are things that really hold your attention. 826 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 4: This is a fun matchup here. I think that's that's 827 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 4: the game where if I could only watch one game, 828 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 4: just talking about looking at the schedule and picking one, 829 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 4: that's the one that has my interest here on the outset, 830 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 4: But it could end up being a dog of a 831 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 4: game and we may miss out on watching one of 832 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 4: the better matchups if you just look at the paper 833 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 4: and say, yeah, I want to watch I want to 834 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 4: watch Izzo because against North Carolina because it's a blue 835 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 4: blood matchup. 836 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 7: Yeah, I like the date in Arizona matchup. That one's 837 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 7: sneaky good. We get because they play in the A 838 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 7: ten Dayton's got one of the best players in the 839 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 7: country in Doron Holmes. So you might be hearing a 840 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 7: little more about in a propit up segment. Wink wink, 841 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 7: n judge, But that's neither here nor there. I think 842 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 7: Texas Tennessee holds some intrigue. Rick Barnes against his former team. Yeah, 843 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 7: we just talked about Oregon and Creighton and I haven't 844 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 7: didn't have a whole lot of time to dive into 845 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 7: the game. But that's Dane Altman against his former team. Like, 846 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 7: we have some good narratives in this round. But I 847 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 7: agree there isn't that marquee matchup. The reason why Michigan 848 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 7: State North Carolina caught my eye is because look at 849 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 7: all the numbers on the board today at bet MGM. Right, 850 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 7: Tennessee's a six and a half point favorite. Right, that's 851 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 7: a that's a two seed versus seven seed. All right, 852 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 7: that sounds about right. You got NC State Oakland, right, 853 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 7: that's an eleven and a fourteen seed, so who knows 854 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 7: what the number could be. It is NC State by 855 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 7: about six. Illinois as a three seed ten point favorite 856 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,479 Speaker 7: over the eleven Duquine. You got Iowa State, a two 857 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 7: seed six and a half point favorite of Washington State. 858 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 7: Arizona is a big favorite, right, nine point they're two seed. 859 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 7: Arizona's a nine point favorite. 860 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 2: Two seed. 861 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 7: There's Michigan State North Carolina, the one seed. North Carolina 862 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 7: three and a half point favorite against Michigan State. So 863 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,919 Speaker 7: right there, the market's telling you of all the games 864 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 7: I just laid out to you, those are all two seven, three, 865 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 7: six games, it's the one seed with the tightest line 866 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 7: of all of them. 867 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, hm right, interesting, very interesting. 868 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 5: And that's the thing is the gambling line tells you 869 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 5: one thing where this is absolutely a tip of the 870 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 5: cap to Tom Izzo and what he's been able to 871 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 5: do over the years in the tournament. But you also 872 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 5: look at this too, where there's another side of that coin, 873 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 5: where you look at Sparti. They're twenty and fourteen on 874 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 5: the season. They haven't been crushing yet, They've had their struggles. 875 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 5: And how about this against the spread against teams in 876 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 5: the tournament this season, Sparty is five eight and one. 877 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 5: So again, the teams that are in the tournament in 878 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,240 Speaker 5: the Big Dance, that's how they fared in the regular 879 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 5: season against those squads. Right, So it's like, Okay, could 880 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 5: Michigan State with their elite guard play, could they muck 881 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:14,479 Speaker 5: the game up? 882 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 6: Right? 883 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 5: I love this that Sparty plays a tempo that's outside 884 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 5: the top three hundred. I just love like the Sparti 885 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 5: and the three hundred thing. I don't know that's me. 886 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 5: It was just you know, there's a tian right there, 887 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 5: so they could grind this out and slow it down 888 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 5: and make it ugly enough where who knows. But I 889 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 5: think what's interesting is when you're handicapping this game, how 890 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 5: much does the past and what tom Izzo has been 891 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 5: able to do impact how you feel about the present. 892 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 3: Are you relying too much on the past or are 893 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 3: you relying not enough on. 894 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 5: The past, because we've seen him do this time and 895 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 5: time again where he does the unexpected and you're like. 896 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 3: How is this team doing? 897 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 5: I'll tell you this is what I do know, North 898 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 5: Carolina facing this nine seed. If you could pick your 899 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 5: eight to nine opponent of choice, this would be the 900 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 5: last pick. You would not be picking Izzo and Sparti 901 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 5: to face in the second round here. 902 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, I agree, And I also will say, yeah, 903 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 4: everything you said about tom Izzo and his past, especially 904 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 4: this time of year, is fair, and I think it 905 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 4: does have to be weighed and measured by somebody placing 906 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 4: a wager, especially if you're playing it on putting a 907 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 4: large wager down on this game. However, I will say 908 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 4: from a player standpoint, having you know, played for legendary coaches, 909 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 4: where people will say a lot of things about how 910 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 4: teams typically play under these coaches. Right, I played for Paterno, 911 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 4: I played for Belichick. There's a lot of voices on 912 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 4: the outside saying a Paterno team does this, a Belichick 913 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 4: team does this, and that's true. However, nobody on the 914 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 4: field or the court cares what anybody says about what 915 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 4: a typical Belichick team does. It's up to us to 916 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 4: go out and win. Now, you are guided by somebody 917 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 4: who's created a culture, and Tom Mizzo, obviously on a 918 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 4: basketball court, has a culture he's created. However, I like 919 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 4: to get more of the recent history to get a 920 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 4: feel for the team. And recently, through the last ten games, 921 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 4: North Carolina's got a lot more momentum than the Spartans do. 922 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 4: They're nine to one, they're filling up the basket. They're 923 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 4: averaging over eighty points a game. Look at the Spartans 924 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 4: five and five during a ten game stretch, sixty eight 925 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 4: points per game. So they've kind of lollygagged their way 926 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 4: into this position. Now, I'm not saying they can't catch fire. 927 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,760 Speaker 4: Like if you look over the course of those ten games, 928 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 4: they've had some big wins, they've had large win disparities. 929 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 4: But you gotta look at more recent history instead of 930 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 4: saying tom Izzo does this a tournament time. Look at 931 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 4: this team that tom Izzo is coaching, and he's going 932 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 4: that they're going to give you the fuller story about 933 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 4: what we should expect here against the tar Heels. 934 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, the full picture on Michigan State is inconsistent, is 935 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:07,879 Speaker 7: what I would say. But their defense looks really good. 936 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 7: Their top ten defense in the country. And the one thing, 937 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 7: so the first capsule, again, I won't go nuts with 938 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 7: the game previous here, but the first capsule of my 939 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 7: game notes on SPARTI right, I do that capsule on 940 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 7: every team. Defense trending up, offense trending down. Okay, but 941 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 7: you look at the game Againstssissippi State, who by the way, 942 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 7: has a top twenty five defense in the SEC. Their 943 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 7: offense looked okay, fourteen assists, a ton of turnovers, but 944 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,280 Speaker 7: they shot it well. 945 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 6: Hoguard played well. 946 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 7: They're you know, senior assist man eight on the year, 947 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 7: he's like a top twenty five assist guy in the country. 948 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 7: And Tyson Walker, who really needs to be the heartbeat, 949 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 7: shot fifty percent from three. He had nineteen points. Like 950 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 7: they looked a little more in sync offensively. Defensively, listen, Defensively, 951 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 7: this team can defend Carolina. They have the size to 952 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 7: match up with Baycott, Hall and Sissoko, and I mean 953 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,919 Speaker 7: they've got dudes up front, Booker like, they can match up. 954 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 6: The question is can those two. 955 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 7: Guards Walker and Holguard run the point enough to keep 956 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 7: pace with Carolina. 957 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 6: The market says yes. 958 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 7: I mean, I'll be honest, this number is intriguing to me. 959 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 7: Everybody's betting Carolina today. I just got the update from 960 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 7: John Ewing, who's the MGM data analyst. They are the 961 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 7: most bet team today on the board UNC minus three 962 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 7: and a half. That is scary. You know why it's 963 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 7: so easy? Carolina is a one seed. All they have 964 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 7: to do to beat Michigan State that's been so inconsistent 965 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 7: all year is win by four. 966 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 6: It seems a little easy, right, it's almost too easy, 967 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 6: almost too much. 968 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 2: I know. 969 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 3: That's the whole thing when Vegas seems to be, you know, 970 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,399 Speaker 3: putting their shoulder. There are you and like, hey man, 971 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 3: I just say. 972 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 4: I just want to point you to you're the one scene. 973 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 4: Yeah it's three and a half. It's just one ticket. 974 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 4: I mean you can hedge bets. There's other places to play. Yeah. 975 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I hear you, man. Those are bells and 976 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 5: alarms going like red, like that's what you should hear. 977 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 5: You mentioned it also Jared the the Rick Barnes bull 978 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 5: Rick Barnes Ball, Yeah, Texas taken on Tennessee. So Rick, Yeah, 979 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 5: it's former UT squad over there, and we always talk 980 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 5: about this. It's it's like what Shaq says about the NBA, 981 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 5: where it's the others that's what he calls the role players. 982 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 5: But we know Dalton connect is the guy for Tennessee. 983 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 5: The question is how well do the role players aka 984 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 5: the others play around him? Because Zekaia Ziegler is very 985 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 5: good point guard. I like Zekai a lot, but sometimes 986 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 5: you will see the others where it's like they're just 987 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 5: not really playing great in this particular game. 988 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 3: But you did see this. 989 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,919 Speaker 5: You saw Tennessee and Houston do two things yesterday. Well, 990 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 5: in the first round of the tournament, I should say, 991 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 5: you saw them rebound from embarrassing conference losses. You know, 992 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 5: you look at Tennessee. They got smacked around in the 993 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 5: SEC tournament where they scored nineteen points in one half 994 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 5: whatever against what was it? 995 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 6: What was it Misssisippi State? 996 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Mississippi State got smacked by SPARTI. But you 997 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 5: saw Tennessee. They looked a lot better. And you saw Houston. 998 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 5: I know they're going up. Tennessee was a two to 999 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 5: fifteen matchup. Houston's taking on a sixteen seed. But the 1000 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,760 Speaker 5: way they competed. You could tell these are good teams 1001 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 5: that got embarrassed, and uh, it's not like one win. 1002 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 3: Changes all of that. 1003 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 5: So I think you're gonna see a very very focused 1004 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 5: Tennessee squad tonight. 1005 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree with you. And like you said, Connect, 1006 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,240 Speaker 4: the offense is Dalton, Connect the offense goes through Ziegler. 1007 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 4: If that makes sense on Tennessee, it's it's it's kind 1008 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 4: of the the I mean, obviously, when you have a 1009 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 4: point guard who can find open shots and is good 1010 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 4: at scoring on his own volition, it's an exciting brand 1011 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 4: of basketball. But when he's the star, he's relying on 1012 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 4: his role players the others to make the shots for him. 1013 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 4: Whereas Connect, he is that guy. He is that dude, 1014 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,240 Speaker 4: get me the ball. I'm gonna make special things happening, 1015 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 4: averaging more than twenty one points this season. So I 1016 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 4: don't know what my preference is in terms of if 1017 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,279 Speaker 4: I were building a basketball team, but I certainly have 1018 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,760 Speaker 4: an easier time believing in, you know, the spot shooter, 1019 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 4: the guy who can create space for himself and and 1020 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 4: put up a three ball or drive and convert for two, 1021 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 4: rather than a point guard who's relying on those those 1022 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 4: tangible pieces who all it takes is one wing shooter 1023 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 4: to have a rough night and Tennessee stumbles, you know, 1024 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 4: and we've seen that before. It's the way championships are 1025 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 4: lost in the NBA, certainly in college basketball all the time. 1026 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 4: When you have a talented point guard, he really needs 1027 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 4: his role players to step up for him. 1028 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll be honest, this Texas team's intriguing. 1029 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 2: They are. 1030 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 7: I mean, it was tough to get a read on 1031 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 7: them early in the year because they lost everybody Carr 1032 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 7: and Allen and Sergera Bari Rice. They brought in max 1033 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,720 Speaker 7: A Smiths, who the diehard college basketball fans probably remember 1034 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 7: him from the run with Orra Roberts. One of the 1035 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 7: best scorers in the country. I think he actually did 1036 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 7: lead the country in scoring one of the last few years. Obviously, 1037 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 7: or Roberts in you know, the mid major leagues not 1038 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 7: you know, you're not playing Texas in the Big twelve 1039 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 7: every night with all those tough opponents. But this year 1040 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 7: he carried that over. He was the third leading scorer 1041 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 7: in the Big twelve. So obviously whatever he did at 1042 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 7: or Roberts transfer over to the higher major conferences, and 1043 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,839 Speaker 7: they've got some dudes. Man Dylan d Su First Team 1044 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 7: All Conference, he's the Big twelve most improved player, thirty 1045 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 7: percent usage rate when on the floor, I mean when 1046 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 7: he's on the floor, Dylandsu is getting a shot up. 1047 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 6: And Tyres Hunter is another veteran guard. 1048 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 7: So we forgot, or we usually forget what happens in 1049 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 7: last year's tournament at this year's tournament, but Texas was 1050 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 7: like a breath away from the final four. They had 1051 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,719 Speaker 7: a lead against Miami in the second half and they 1052 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 7: blew it. Thirteen point lead against Miami in the Elite 1053 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 7: eight last year and they blew that game. They had 1054 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 7: a chance to go to the final four, didn't happen. 1055 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 7: They reloaded, and I think they're good enough to beat Tennessee. 1056 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 7: But I think this balls team's a little different. I 1057 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 7: think the Rick Barnes discourse is getting a little bit 1058 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 7: too heavy. 1059 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: Now. 1060 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,800 Speaker 7: Don't get me wrong, he's ten and twenty one against 1061 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,040 Speaker 7: the spread in the tournament, not exactly winning over hearts 1062 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 7: and minds with his tournament ats record. But I think 1063 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 7: this team's a little bit different because they can score 1064 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 7: with connect They're not just the defensive minded team. Which 1065 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 7: is usually the Rick Barnes teams of old at Tennessee. 1066 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 7: But this is a tough matchup. I think I'm probably 1067 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 7: not betting this one. If I did, I would probably 1068 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 7: take the. 1069 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 6: Points with the Longhorns. 1070 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 5: Interesting right there.

The interpreter for Show Hey Otani has 1100 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 5: been fired by the Dodgers. There were four point five 1101 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 5: million dollars cent from Otani's bank account to an illegal 1102 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 5: book maker, and so the investigation is underway. Is this 1103 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 5: the fall guy, the interpreter who's covering for Show Hey. 1104 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 5: Is it Show Hey being taken for a ride by 1105 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 5: this interpreter? 1106 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 3: What's going on here? 1107 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 5: But it does make me The first thing I thought 1108 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 5: of was Chris Carter, Hall of Fame wide receiver, and 1109 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 5: he was speaking at the Rookie Symposium years ago. So 1110 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 5: picture all of these NFL rookies and they're in a 1111 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 5: room and Chris Carter's giving him the hey do's and 1112 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 5: don'ts and watch out for this, and he said this, 1113 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 5: this is a famous quote here. 1114 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 7: And just in case y'all not going to decide to 1115 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 7: do the right thing. 1116 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 9: If y'all got a crew, you got to have a 1117 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 9: fall guy in the crew. 1118 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 5: Right now, that's my question. Is the interpreter the wrongdoer 1119 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 5: or is he the fall guy? Meaning Otani was gambling, 1120 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 5: I don't know on what, And all of a sudden 1121 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 5: there's this story of oh, the interpreter, he took show 1122 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 5: Hey for a ride, and don't look the other way 1123 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 5: over here. Otani's not the gambler. There are so many 1124 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 5: unanswered questions as of right now with this whole situation 1125 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 5: involving Otani. Was he gambling, If he was gambling, what 1126 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 5: was he gambling on? Because if it's baseball, that is monstrous, 1127 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 5: to put it mildly. 1128 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 4: If he was in sho Hey, Otani, he'd already be suspended. 1129 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 4: So wow, that by the letter of the law in 1130 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 4: the CBA that Major League Baseball has with the Players Association. Show, Hey, Otani, 1131 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 4: if they were going to operate by the letter of 1132 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,000 Speaker 4: the law, would already be suspended because if you are 1133 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 4: well and by the way, major League Baseball would have 1134 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 4: already opened an investigation into this, which they have not. 1135 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 4: Now they're going to look at the facts, They're going 1136 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 4: to have people who are going to peruse things. 1137 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 5: And they just did that though rich they the investigation 1138 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 5: is okay, it's going it's been opened by MLBA. 1139 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 4: Well then then, so what's odd about that is in 1140 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 4: conjunction with that, If this weren't the face of baseball 1141 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 4: right now, from both a domestic and international standpoint, I'm 1142 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 4: fairly certain a player would be suspended immediately because you're 1143 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 4: talking about you're talking about a situation that's really dicey. 1144 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 4: I mean, when it comes to sports betting and sports leagues, 1145 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 4: there is very much so a church and state situation here. 1146 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,360 Speaker 4: Like don't get me wrong, I think sports betting is great. 1147 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 4: I mean, we're doing a show that discusses mainly sports betting, 1148 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 4: and I think everybody should be allowed to do what 1149 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 4: they are, what they want to do. But when we're 1150 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 4: talking about a private business who has practices in place 1151 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 4: to try to keep things coposthetics in terms of not 1152 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 4: having any any bets placed have an impact on the 1153 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 4: outcome of your games. Until Major League Baseball one hundred 1154 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 4: percent has certainty that a no bets were placed on 1155 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 4: the sport that show Hey plays, or that he didn't 1156 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 4: have any involvement in this book that's under federal investigation, 1157 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 4: then I don't understand why he's still allowed to play baseball, 1158 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 4: you know, until there's clarity in this. In this circumstance, 1159 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 4: it's it's a very convoluted situation right now, only made 1160 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 4: worse by how Shoha and his team handled this. I 1161 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,959 Speaker 4: mean that you had the initial report that ESPN came 1162 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 4: to the interpreter it Bi Mitchuhara and said said to him, hey, 1163 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 4: you know we're gonna release this story with a without 1164 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 4: your help. Do you want to talk to us about this? 1165 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 4: And then shohyes spokesperson, came out and said something about 1166 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 4: how he was trying to help a friend who had 1167 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 4: gambling debts, and then completely went back on that when 1168 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 4: his lawyers released the statement saying no. On second thought, 1169 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 4: this is massive theft, and this friend took advantage of 1170 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,439 Speaker 4: sho heo Tani. It's like, okay, well, you guys don't 1171 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 4: have your story straight. Major League Baseball is not launching 1172 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 4: a suspension, So who's that fault here? And when are 1173 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 4: we going to get to the bottom of this. I'm 1174 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 4: very curious what the next steps are from here. Yeah, 1175 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 4: this is it. 1176 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 6: So I caught up the speed on this one last night. 1177 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 7: Thank you to our producer Bo Benson for sending me 1178 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 7: this timeline that really helped me, because I'll be honest, 1179 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 7: I haven't seen the light of day or have had 1180 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 7: much human interaction since the bracket got released. 1181 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 3: You've been studying Longwood's roster. 1182 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 7: I've been in the lab writing sixty eighteen capsules for 1183 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 7: every team in the field. So I don't look like 1184 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 7: a dummy when these are right. But that's you here 1185 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 7: and there. There's two things about this story that I 1186 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 7: want to make perfectly clear. One, this story is not 1187 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 7: a referendum on problem gambling, because to me, every time 1188 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 7: there's a drunk driver that gets into an accident that 1189 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 7: kills someone, we're not talking about all right, no. 1190 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 6: More cars, that's it. 1191 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 2: It's over. 1192 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 7: We can't drive anymore because it's too dangerous. So we 1193 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 7: need to stop with the oh gambling, it's ruining. No, 1194 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:28,919 Speaker 7: that's not. 1195 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 6: What the story is about. 1196 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 7: The biggest issue I see when I was reading through 1197 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 7: this was the language barrier that exists between the parties. 1198 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 7: So yes, ESPN is reaching out to show Hayes people 1199 01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 7: to get a quote. The problem is this guy is 1200 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 7: the interpreter that brings it all to show Hey, and 1201 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 7: how are we supposed to know unless you've got another 1202 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 7: interpreter there that interprets Japanese and American or English fluently. 1203 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 6: If we're if he's telling him the right thing. 1204 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 7: For example, if I don't speak Japanese and I ask 1205 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 7: Showay a question I need, we need Misuhara to properly translate. Well, 1206 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 7: this is the guy that's in the center of the 1207 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 7: whole controversy. How can he be trusted to translate? The 1208 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 7: biggest key here for me when I read this story 1209 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 7: was when they got in another translator to kind of 1210 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 7: sift through some of the language that Misuhara was bringing 1211 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 7: to a ton and that's when the story changed. My 1212 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 7: first gut reaction is Mizuhara did kind of take Showhy 1213 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 7: for a ride, But I don't want to jump to 1214 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 7: any conclusions because, as Rich said, this is very convoluted. 1215 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 6: There are layers. We need to get to. 1216 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 7: The bottom of who is talking to who and what. 1217 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 7: But the language barrier, to me is the reason why 1218 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 7: this story got bumbled from the start. But that's just semantics, right, Like, 1219 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 7: that's just he speaks a different language than we speak 1220 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,920 Speaker 7: and we're trying to communicate, and the communication lines were muffled. 1221 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 7: So there's a lot more layers to diagnose. I think 1222 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 7: the key thing you hear is this isn't a gambling issue. 1223 01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 7: This is a issue between two people, and you're right, 1224 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 7: MLB needs to investigate. 1225 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 6: We need to get to the bottom of it. 1226 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things here. One, the story has changed, 1227 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 3: And the obvious follow up question is why why has 1228 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 3: the story changed? If that interpreter who is communicating with ESPN, 1229 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 3: who's doing a full blown story on this, and he 1230 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 3: tells the reporter one thing one day and then admits 1231 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 3: lying the next day, why, Like, that's not a communication 1232 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 3: breakdown or a language barrier, that's just a flat out lie. 1233 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 3: And then the next day, what were you lying about? 1234 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 3: Why were you lying? 1235 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 5: What's going on here and the story of well show 1236 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 5: Hey is helping out this poor interpreter who's got a 1237 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:45,520 Speaker 5: gambling addiction, and then he's the victim of massive theft. 1238 01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 5: Right Like, it's theatrical, it's like a movie trailer, and 1239 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 5: why so we're uncovering that. My other question is I 1240 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 5: want to know what the truth is? Will we ever 1241 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 5: get the truth? No, that's the other thing. Will we 1242 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 5: ever actually get the truth here? Because I think it 1243 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 5: would be I think it would benefit sports to do this. 1244 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 5: And you're basically seeing this in the NFL. The NFL 1245 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 5: lets you bet on anything, just not the NFL. And 1246 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 5: they don't let you bet while at work, like at 1247 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,280 Speaker 5: the training facility, on the team plane, which is dumb. 1248 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,840 Speaker 5: I think it should just be in this day and age, 1249 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 5: don't bet on the sport you're playing. Don't bet on 1250 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 5: the league that you're a part of. If you're an 1251 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 5: NFL player, you want to get down on Ohio State 1252 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,160 Speaker 5: versus Michigan, knock yourself out. If you're Otani and you 1253 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 5: want to get down on some NBA action. 1254 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 3: Go ahead, have at it. 1255 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,960 Speaker 5: You just can't bet on your sport and the league 1256 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 5: that you're employed by. Right Like that's where we should be. 1257 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 5: But there's this whole gambling Oh my gosh, like we've 1258 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 5: gone in the hot tub time machine. Like it's so taboo. 1259 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 5: It's not ruining the world. Okay, people overreact anytime there's 1260 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 5: a hint of potential gambling scandal. 1261 01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 3: It's just it's overkilled when it comes to that. 1262 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree with you. I think that the 1263 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 4: taboo on gambling or sports betting specifically is is wearing off. 1264 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 4: I think more and more people are doing this. I mean, shoot, 1265 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 4: I have some older family members who I mean it 1266 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 4: would have been a lot of pearl clutching before if 1267 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 4: sports betting was discussed, And now they're like, hey, what 1268 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 4: do you think of this? 1269 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 7: I want to bet the prop tonight we got, you know, 1270 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 7: like Horizon League Basketball? 1271 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 4: Who you got tonight? Ranch? You think Oakland's got enough 1272 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 4: gas in the tank to take down the wolf Pack? 1273 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 4: Like I love. I love where we're at in culture 1274 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 4: because it's opened up other avenues to connect with people 1275 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 4: and and for the majority of us, the same way 1276 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 4: alcohol is used or or any vice is consumed, if 1277 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 4: it's done responsibly, it's a social lubricant. I can't tell 1278 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 4: you how many more conversations. I mean, like me and 1279 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 4: Jared Smith become fast friends because we have this great 1280 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,920 Speaker 4: bond over sports betting and our interest in it, and 1281 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 4: and that's that's been fostered by this new world we 1282 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 4: live in. It's it's fun. This is fun. And I 1283 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 4: agree with what you just said, Brian, as long you 1284 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 4: not been on your own sport. What's the what's the 1285 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 4: harm in all this? Why do we need to have 1286 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 4: geographical locations tied to whether or not you think the 1287 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,080 Speaker 4: the I don't know. Oregan's got the edge tonight. It's 1288 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 4: so silly. But getting back to the point, there are 1289 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 4: rules in place right now in Major League Baseball, and 1290 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 4: whether or not I think they're fair or show hey 1291 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,120 Speaker 4: does or shoot his interpreter thinks they're fair, they're They're 1292 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 4: rules that are in place. And at the end of 1293 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 4: the day, sho Hay's money was involved in this. Yeah, 1294 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 4: and so to me, the smoking gun is the fact 1295 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 4: that the bank account transfers emanated from his bank account. 1296 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 4: So the biggest why question I need answered is, or 1297 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,680 Speaker 4: really it's a who question? Who made those bank transfers? 1298 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 2: Yep? 1299 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,800 Speaker 4: And what knowledge did they have when they made them? 1300 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 4: Because guess what, I don't know if something was lost 1301 01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 4: in translation here and show Hey got take him for 1302 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 4: a ride, and this this interpreter told him to send 1303 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 4: this this money to a sportsbook and maybe lied to him, 1304 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 4: and show Hey didn't know or you know, had somebody 1305 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 4: else handle it for him. 1306 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 2: Whatever. 1307 01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 4: I could see that potentially happening. Show Hey is a 1308 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,599 Speaker 4: very rich man. But but why did he do it? 1309 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 4: And who actually pressed the button on send when those 1310 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 4: wire transfers went down? I think is going to be 1311 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,880 Speaker 4: the biggest potential problem for Sho he o Tani because 1312 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 4: that's going to be difficult to explain away. 1313 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the crux of this. 1314 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 7: It's always and my favorite movie growing up, All the 1315 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 7: Presidents Men with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman about you know, 1316 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,679 Speaker 7: the Nixon scandal, the Watergate thing. The deep throat quote 1317 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 7: that always sticks in my craw that I use on 1318 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 7: many shows because it applies to every single thing that 1319 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 7: happens in our society. It's three words, follow the money. 1320 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:07,000 Speaker 7: That's it, Like the money will give us the right 1321 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 7: answer to this, because there was hundreds of thousands millions 1322 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,719 Speaker 7: of dollars sent to this you know, offshore illegal booking company. 1323 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 7: And I don't know if it's gonna come down on 1324 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 7: show hey because it was his account, or if there 1325 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 7: is a way to distance himself from it. 1326 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 6: But the money is what will lead us to the 1327 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 6: right answer here. 1328 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 7: But back to the original point of this, like there 1329 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,719 Speaker 7: needs to be a federal investigation, one hundred percent. 1330 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 6: I think there is. 1331 01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 7: Baseball will likely Major League Baseball will likely piggyback off 1332 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 7: of that and either assist or aid or be part 1333 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 7: of that federal investigation. And yeah, like if you go 1334 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,880 Speaker 7: back to the Trevor Bauer stuff, he was placed on 1335 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 7: administrative leave right away. Now, I know this is a 1336 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 7: different crime that we're talking about here, a little more 1337 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,000 Speaker 7: white collar crime than you know, the interesting things that 1338 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,720 Speaker 7: happened to Trevor Bauer. But I think the money is 1339 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,680 Speaker 7: going to lead us to the proper answer. So we 1340 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 7: just have to let the investigation play out. I don't 1341 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 7: I mean, the Dodgers, they probably should put Otani on 1342 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 7: the shelf until it is. 1343 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 6: But to your point, anyone. 1344 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,760 Speaker 7: Lesser right probably would have been suspended already or put 1345 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 7: on administrative leave. 1346 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 6: Because it's Otani.

That's of any 1489 01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 5: prop bet opportunities there are. Jared, we'll start with you 1490 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 5: with something you like. 1491 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, props in the tournament, guys, MGM releases a lot 1492 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 7: more numbers than we do in the regular season. And 1493 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,560 Speaker 7: let's be honest, they don't price these props during the 1494 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:21,799 Speaker 7: regular season, so they're. 1495 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,200 Speaker 6: Just throwing up average numbers. 1496 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 7: You know, basically what the ratings are for these players, 1497 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 7: and I think there's edges if you can find some context. 1498 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 7: So let's try to find some Doron Holmes, big man 1499 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 7: at eight, one of the best players in the country. 1500 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 7: His rebounding prop today against Arizona eight and a half. 1501 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 7: I am betting the over. He has gone over this 1502 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,400 Speaker 7: prop in nine of the last ten games. He's got 1503 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,720 Speaker 7: a really tough opponent today in Arizona. They are big, 1504 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 7: they got size Omerbalo, the big man in the middle, 1505 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,800 Speaker 7: but they just gave up eleven rebounds to This is 1506 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,400 Speaker 7: some guy named Abu kar Treori on Long Beach Date, 1507 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,839 Speaker 7: fifteen rebounds to him and another nine rebounds to Lacina 1508 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,559 Speaker 7: char I think there are rebounds available for Doron Holmes today. 1509 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 7: Arizona likes to run fast tempo, more shots, more rebounding opportunities. 1510 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 6: Deron Holmes over eight and a half rebounds with the 1511 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:05,719 Speaker 6: Dayton Flyers. 1512 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 4: Oh, I like that a lot. Okay, I'm gonna give 1513 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,559 Speaker 4: you two really quick. I like Jack Goldkey going over 1514 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 4: his thirteen and a half points. I think the shooting 1515 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 4: continues that you saw in the opening round in Game 1516 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 4: two of March Madness for him. And then I want 1517 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 4: to move on to Nolan Hickman facing the Kansas Jayhawks. 1518 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:28,759 Speaker 4: This zag guard is averaging fifteen and a half plus 1519 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,760 Speaker 4: points per game through the last ten. I'll take over 1520 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 4: two and a half a three pointers hit by Hickman 1521 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 4: in this game against the Jayhawks. 1522 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,400 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go to the boards as well. It's cleaning 1523 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 5: the glass with Jared and Know here today. But I'm 1524 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 5: looking at Armando Baycot. It's gonna be hard for Sparty. Listen, 1525 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 5: They're gonna be feisty. I think it's gonna be a 1526 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:57,040 Speaker 5: close game, but keeping Armando Baycot off the glass, that's 1527 01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,720 Speaker 5: gonna be easier said than done for Sparty grind it 1528 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 5: out game. There's gonna be a lot of rebounding opportunities. 1529 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 5: Bacott's been in double digit rebounds the last four games, 1530 01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:10,879 Speaker 5: so I look at him going over nine and a half. 1531 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 5: I look for him to get to double digit territory 1532 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 5: on the glass. I've got Baycott with the Heels getting 1533 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 5: the ten rebounds. 1534 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 2: Love that. 1535 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:24,520 Speaker 7: I'll give you a bonus SGP with Deron Holmes eighteen 1536 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:28,719 Speaker 7: points or more eight rebounds, so we're basically buying a rebound. 1537 01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 6: We're buying a point and a half on his point total. 1538 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 7: Even odds on that SGP over at bet MGM. Again, 1539 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,799 Speaker 7: I think Holmes is the usage man for the Flyers today. 1540 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,679 Speaker 5: Okay, hey, speaking of the Flyers early start time, we'll 1541 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 5: dive into this matchup against Arizona next ah. Yes, we 1542 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 5: are counting down to tip off over here. We are 1543 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 5: less than two hours away before Dayton and Arizona in 1544 01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:02,719 Speaker 5: the twelve pm out on the East Coast early tip 1545 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 5: time locally right, this game is in Salt Lake City. 1546 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,760 Speaker 5: It's dating against Arizona, so locally, we're talking what ten 1547 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:12,480 Speaker 5: five am? 1548 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:13,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, weird. 1549 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:18,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's early and odd, right, Jared Strange, Yeah, you 1550 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,559 Speaker 5: just said odd in the background. It's just I don't 1551 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,400 Speaker 5: know why you would highlight this game that early. Can 1552 01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 5: you imagine tailgating for this one? What do you you 1553 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 5: tailgating with? Like omelets and walking drinking? 1554 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 6: Utah? Right? 1555 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:37,639 Speaker 5: Yeah right, different kind of tailgating before this game here, 1556 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 5: not brought's on the grill? We got you know, like 1557 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 5: a gos and sausage patties, yeah, pop tarts maybe. 1558 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 2: Uh they really do? 1559 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and into that we go, no, we uh we 1560 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 4: We have a lot of these weird matchup in weird 1561 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 4: times in these uh in this tournament, and I think 1562 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 4: it does have a much bigger effect on outcomes than 1563 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 4: people realize. Like everybody else, athletes are creatures of habit. 1564 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 4: In fact, more so, I would argue when it comes 1565 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:15,639 Speaker 4: to feeling ready, this is a performance based business. You know, 1566 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 4: your preparation is everything, and there are a lot of 1567 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,719 Speaker 4: teams that only know the nighttime, right, they're vampires. It's 1568 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,040 Speaker 4: like the sunsets, and then that's that's when they start 1569 01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:31,719 Speaker 4: their warm up for what will inevitably be a seven 1570 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,639 Speaker 4: o'clock or a seven thirty or an eight thirty tip 1571 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 4: off time during the course of the season, and then 1572 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 4: you got to turn around and play at ten in 1573 01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 4: the morning or some part of ten or eleven in 1574 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 4: the morning during the March tournament. It's difficult. It's difficult 1575 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 4: to get your body revved up and ready to play, 1576 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 4: especially on short rests for some of these teams when 1577 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 4: you're not used to that. So it can have a 1578 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 4: tangible outcome on especially how the first half is played, 1579 01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 4: but sometimes how these old games are played. 1580 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 6: And Dayton too. 1581 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,599 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, Arizona is in the West coast, 1582 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,719 Speaker 7: so they've probably used to traveling around and dealing with it. Dayton, 1583 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 7: which is i think Ohio's Eastern time zone. I'm pretty 1584 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,479 Speaker 7: sure it is Indiana, right, yeah, Brian, where you are 1585 01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,120 Speaker 7: is where it transfers over, so Ohio's Central times or 1586 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 7: Eastern time zone. They don't go to the Central time 1587 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,600 Speaker 7: zone much at all because they play in the Atlantic 1588 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,760 Speaker 7: ten the furthest west they've traveled all year has been 1589 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,320 Speaker 7: Saint Louis and they now have to play This is 1590 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 7: a tough turnaround, right. The irony is they played Nevada 1591 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 7: the other day and the game was in Salt Lake City, 1592 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 7: So obviously you would think, oh, Nevada in Reno, huge 1593 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 7: advantage for Nevada. It was Nevada that just ran out 1594 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,840 Speaker 7: of gas down the stretch. So I think, you look 1595 01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 7: at this Dayton team, and they've got some dudes. 1596 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 6: Man, we talked about their On Holmes in that prop segment. 1597 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:57,680 Speaker 7: I think Arizona is I don't want to say vulnerable, 1598 01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 7: but when I look at what they've been all year 1599 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 7: and I look at some of their losses, they've lost 1600 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 7: some really questionable games, and I think consistency is the 1601 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,639 Speaker 7: problem with them because they play such a volatile style. 1602 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,640 Speaker 6: I think Dayton's the play here. I took nine and 1603 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 6: a half. 1604 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,760 Speaker 7: Obviously, I bet the Deron Holmes props A lot of 1605 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 7: people like Arizona. 1606 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:20,160 Speaker 2: I get it. 1607 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 7: Caleb loves a star, had a great run with unc 1608 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 7: and Bollow. You know the seven foot are in the middle. 1609 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 7: They got Larson and Boswell and Johnson like, they've got length, 1610 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,680 Speaker 7: they got sized, they've got experience. But man, nine and 1611 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,640 Speaker 7: a half, it's a lot of points to lay and 1612 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 7: Dayton's got some dudes. They're coming off that momentum win 1613 01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 7: I think Dayton's the move here, but I'm not overly 1614 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,680 Speaker 7: enthused about the time because one of these teams I 1615 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,400 Speaker 7: think is going to have an edge it it's. 1616 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:45,519 Speaker 6: Really hard to predict which one. 1617 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, let me throw another game at you guys. Gonzaga 1618 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 5: against Kansas. Kansas survived against Samford again the phantom block 1619 01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,559 Speaker 5: that you know, the phantom foul I should say it 1620 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,640 Speaker 5: was a clean block, it was whistled a foul that 1621 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,680 Speaker 5: absolutely helped Kansas win the game. And they take on 1622 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 5: Gonzaga here. You know, if you go back, this is 1623 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,920 Speaker 5: gonna sound a little bit odd, but a blown call 1624 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 5: like that is again, it's gonna sound strange, but it's 1625 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,720 Speaker 5: a disservice to Kansas as well, because think about this. 1626 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 5: If it's ruled a clean block, Kansas still has a 1627 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:24,360 Speaker 5: one point lead. 1628 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,240 Speaker 3: They still might have won that game. 1629 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 5: We've got, you know, eighteen ish seconds to play, and 1630 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,200 Speaker 5: they might have gotten to stop. They still might have 1631 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 5: gotten to win. But because they benefited from an improper call, 1632 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 5: we're like, oh, this is bs freaking Kansas Jayhawks fay right, Yeah, 1633 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 5: they they they were screwed by that also in a way, 1634 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 5: obviously not as much as Samford. But in any event, 1635 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 5: how that impacts today's game. At least a build up 1636 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:56,040 Speaker 5: and heading in. Kansas could have been out of the tournament. 1637 01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what some of these teams that 1638 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:02,720 Speaker 5: are this closed from being out or not even making it. 1639 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 5: Yale barely won the IVY League to make it in 1640 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 5: needed a minor miracle laid against Brown, And just when 1641 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 5: you're writing them off, then they're upsetting Auburn and you're like, 1642 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 5: what is happening here? If you look at Kansas, this 1643 01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:20,400 Speaker 5: is the thing. They're shorthanded. No Kevin mccullor. That's a big, 1644 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 5: big deal and so lack of depth. It could show 1645 01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 5: up in this spot here. But again it's one of 1646 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 5: these things. Who's picking the Jayhawks today? Even plus the points? Yeah, 1647 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 5: and they're four and a half point underdogs. It's something 1648 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,360 Speaker 5: to keep in mind when a team was almost knocked 1649 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,679 Speaker 5: out of the tournament. Sometimes it just it flips a switch. 1650 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,599 Speaker 5: And I'm not saying Kayu's going to be world beaters today, 1651 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,280 Speaker 5: but don't be surprised if they look better than you 1652 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 5: expect them to. 1653 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,840 Speaker 4: I well, listen, I agree with a lot of what 1654 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 4: you said there, including the end part about the Jayhawks. 1655 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:58,639 Speaker 4: I think sometimes you have teams that can bounce back 1656 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 4: from even misses where they played down to the level 1657 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,800 Speaker 4: of competition and maybe got caught up a little bit 1658 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,320 Speaker 4: in a dogfight, and regardless of the outcomes and how 1659 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 4: you reach the end, the ends do justify the means, 1660 01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 4: and they can bury the tape and move on in advance. However, 1661 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,600 Speaker 4: there are certain teams, to your point, Brian, who are 1662 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 4: paid a great the service when they get a leg 1663 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,479 Speaker 4: up when a phantom foul is called. Because a lot 1664 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 4: of teams in March have what's called imposter syndrome. And 1665 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,000 Speaker 4: if you've never heard of this, it's the condition or 1666 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:38,840 Speaker 4: it's a feeling of anxiety when objectively you're experiencing success, 1667 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:45,520 Speaker 4: but internally you're not processing that success as actual success. 1668 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,479 Speaker 4: You feel like you don't deserve it. And when you 1669 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,400 Speaker 4: collectively as a team find yourself in a position you 1670 01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:57,200 Speaker 4: don't collectively feel you deserve, it can have a huge 1671 01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,920 Speaker 4: impact on the way you play. So to the point you, yeah, 1672 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 4: maybe they would have won that game, maybe they would 1673 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:07,519 Speaker 4: have survived the dogfight without the help of the officiating crew, 1674 01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 4: of the referee crew in their opening matchup, but the 1675 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 4: fact that and it was Samford right who went toe 1676 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,479 Speaker 4: to toe with Kansas and took them down the wire. 1677 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 4: The fact that that that block, which it was one 1678 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 4: hundred block was called a foul and that gave them 1679 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,719 Speaker 4: a leg up. Trust me, they're on Twitter too, They're 1680 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:31,120 Speaker 4: on Instagram too, they're on TikTok also. They're seeing this 1681 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,360 Speaker 4: in their feed, in their for you page, in their 1682 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 4: explore page. They're seeing it just like we are. The 1683 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 4: players on that court who won that basketball game may 1684 01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,000 Speaker 4: not feel like they deserved it, and it can have 1685 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 4: an impact on how they feel about themselves in their 1686 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 4: confidence level at fancy, especially against a much better Zags team. 1687 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll be honest to sidetrack really quick. I still 1688 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,880 Speaker 7: struggle sometimes with imposter syndrome and nets and what are 1689 01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:58,840 Speaker 7: you talking about, Jared. I struggle with it. 1690 01:28:58,920 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 2: All the time. 1691 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,720 Speaker 6: A real thing, and a lot of it is anxiety. 1692 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 7: It's a it's a you know, just the way we 1693 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 7: manifest ourselves in society and where we view ourselves. I 1694 01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,000 Speaker 7: think in the in the world of sports, not as 1695 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,439 Speaker 7: much betting, because I don't have the control over the 1696 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 7: outcome as these kids will. 1697 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: Today. 1698 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 7: It's a little different because they get to go on 1699 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 7: the floor and they get to, you know, prove people wrong, right. 1700 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 6: Use it as motivation. 1701 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 7: I think the best athletes all suffer that at some 1702 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,799 Speaker 7: point in their careers. They just use it as fuel 1703 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 7: and it makes them better to get to the next level. 1704 01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 6: That's how I use my imposter syndrome. 1705 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,759 Speaker 7: I use it as fuel to work harder, be better, 1706 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 7: and figure out ways to make you guys more money. 1707 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,559 Speaker 7: I think we've got away here. I think it's to 1708 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 7: bet Kansas. I think that's what the market's telling me. 1709 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 7: The market is screaming at me to take four points 1710 01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,280 Speaker 7: with Kansas here. And I think a lot of it 1711 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:56,240 Speaker 7: is where Gonzaga is as a team and frankly Kansas's 1712 01:29:56,400 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 7: level of talent. Like, I think the narrative on Kansas 1713 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,880 Speaker 7: heading into the tournament was so negative because of the 1714 01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 7: injuries to Dickinson and mccullor. Now, Dickinson played, he played well. 1715 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,800 Speaker 7: Mccullor was the big one because he's not only a 1716 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,000 Speaker 7: great scorer, but he's a good assist man. He's kind 1717 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,519 Speaker 7: of the engine of the offense. He's been hurt over 1718 01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:18,559 Speaker 7: the last six weeks. Their offensive explosion, the assist straate 1719 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 7: the efficiency, all of it has taken a dip since 1720 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:25,200 Speaker 7: he has left the lineup. I think Gonzaga, I mean, 1721 01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 7: watched the Saint Mary's game last night against Grand Canyon, 1722 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,919 Speaker 7: like that's the best team in the West Coast Conference 1723 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 7: them in Saint Mary's. 1724 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 6: Gonzag and Saint Mary's. 1725 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 7: Saint Mary's got bullied last night by Grant Canyon. They 1726 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,559 Speaker 7: had no answer for the athletes, for the size, the 1727 01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 7: ability of Grand Canyon to get into the paint, and 1728 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 7: Kansas and Grand Canyon. I think Grank Canyon's more athletic 1729 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 7: than Kansas, but Kansas is very athletic. 1730 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:48,439 Speaker 6: Dickinson's a problem. 1731 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,679 Speaker 7: They've got guards on the outside that can get into 1732 01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:54,559 Speaker 7: Adams is a really tough mismatch. They've gotten Furfey, the 1733 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:56,320 Speaker 7: six ' to nine freshman that's one of the best 1734 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:57,840 Speaker 7: freshmen in the Big twelve. 1735 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,280 Speaker 6: So the Jayhawks have dudes. I think this is many 1736 01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 6: points for Gonzaga. 1737 01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 7: Lay The public is hammering Gonzaga after what they saw 1738 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:07,080 Speaker 7: with Kansas, and the market's kind of moving in the 1739 01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,680 Speaker 7: other directions. So I think the Jayhawks taking four. If 1740 01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:11,639 Speaker 7: you can find four and a half, that's great. It's 1741 01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 7: three and a half at BETMGM and clearly the market 1742 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:15,240 Speaker 7: with our. 1743 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,840 Speaker 6: BETEMGM friends telling us that Kansas might be the right. 1744 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,800 Speaker 3: Side here, Yeah, it very well could be. 1745 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:22,439 Speaker 5: And listen, I get the other side of it, where 1746 01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:26,960 Speaker 5: the Zags have more depth. You're in altitude here right, 1747 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,400 Speaker 5: Salt Lake City, so not quite Mexico City, but it's 1748 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 5: enough where if you don't have the same depth, there 1749 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,559 Speaker 5: could be some tired legs for KU today. 1750 01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:36,400 Speaker 3: It's possible. 1751 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 5: But man, I just I'm with you, Jared, where the 1752 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 5: market is kind of tapping you on the shoulder saying, hey, hey, yeah, 1753 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 5: you might want to look at the Jayhawks here. And 1754 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 5: there is such a thing as man the public loves 1755 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 5: to go by what they just saw. And I'm not 1756 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,800 Speaker 5: telling you I'm above the public. Sometimes I'm one with 1757 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,240 Speaker 5: the public. I'm like, yeah, public, let's go. I'm leading 1758 01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,000 Speaker 5: the charge over here. But what what stood out to 1759 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 5: you the most with either team playing their first round game? 1760 01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:09,880 Speaker 5: Was it Gonzaga against McNeice, anything there with a twenty 1761 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 5: one point no shot, Or was it Kansas greatly benefiting 1762 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:19,240 Speaker 5: from one of the worst calls you will ever see, 1763 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:22,840 Speaker 5: where it was a clean, textbook block one point game 1764 01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,719 Speaker 5: in the final twenty seconds and a foul is called, 1765 01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,599 Speaker 5: and now all the negativity about Kansas before the tournament 1766 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 5: was magnified. And I think that goes directly into how 1767 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:38,080 Speaker 5: many people are betting this game. And uh, it's something 1768 01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:39,640 Speaker 5: to keep in mind where you might not want to 1769 01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 5: go solely off of that. 1770 01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't. I'd listen never ever, Ever, if 1771 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:48,840 Speaker 4: you're looking for an edge, never settle for just one 1772 01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 4: one data point to say and I got this figured out. Yes, yeah, 1773 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 4: like that, that's a if you're gonna do the research, 1774 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,679 Speaker 4: take a take a deeper look. And this, by the way, 1775 01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:02,080 Speaker 4: research doesn't mean making very long. You could spend five 1776 01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 4: minutes and learn a lot from reading a couple articles 1777 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,639 Speaker 4: and then make a more educated bet as a result. 1778 01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:09,680 Speaker 4: So I agree with you, Brian. Don't look at just 1779 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:12,639 Speaker 4: one outcome. Don't just look at Kansas and how they 1780 01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,120 Speaker 4: looked against against Sanford and say, well, I got the 1781 01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 4: Jayhawks figured out. No, I mean, maybe take a look 1782 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 4: how they finished their regular season, what happened in their tournament, 1783 01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 4: what happened in that game against Sanford. Also, take a 1784 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:29,600 Speaker 4: look at Frez or excuse me, I Gonzaga, the Bulldogs. 1785 01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 4: You can learn a lot more about a team sometimes 1786 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,559 Speaker 4: in a loss, but you can there are takeaways in 1787 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:39,479 Speaker 4: a victory. And I know McNeice they they got They 1788 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:43,519 Speaker 4: were outclassed in just about every way. But Gonzaga handled 1789 01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:47,559 Speaker 4: business Like so many teams we see a higher seed 1790 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 4: facing a twelve, you know it can you can stumble, 1791 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:57,000 Speaker 4: but they didn't. They were consistent out the gate and 1792 01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:01,000 Speaker 4: and that's difficult. Like the gap never got closer, like 1793 01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 4: if you look at the point trail, like over the 1794 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,800 Speaker 4: course of time, like they just kept making greater separation 1795 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:09,840 Speaker 4: throughout the game. They never let their foot off the 1796 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:12,400 Speaker 4: gas pedal. That is a really good sign if you're 1797 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,400 Speaker 4: all over the Zags. Like if you I don't know 1798 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,639 Speaker 4: if you could have a futures bet on the Zags. 1799 01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 4: You may like a side today against Kansas. It's not 1800 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 4: a terrible bet, even though it feels like a very 1801 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,400 Speaker 4: public bet because of the way they handled their business 1802 01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:29,719 Speaker 4: out the gate. I was impressed with Mark Fu's team because, 1803 01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:33,400 Speaker 4: like like years in the past, they just look like 1804 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:37,040 Speaker 4: that team that does what they do regardless of competition. 1805 01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 4: They're ready for the moment and here we go. 1806 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:40,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm torn on this one, guys, I've got a 1807 01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,080 Speaker 7: fourteen toh one ticket on Gonzaga to make the Final four. 1808 01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, there you got me. H. 1809 01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 6: I love this Gonzaga team. 1810 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 7: The reason why is because they are criminally undervalued compared 1811 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 7: to their talent. Like the again, if you were going 1812 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,800 Speaker 7: to close your eyes and I know mcculler's out and 1813 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:56,640 Speaker 7: Kansas is a little banged up, if you were to 1814 01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:59,679 Speaker 7: close your eyes I don't know, ten fifteen years ago 1815 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 7: and say in the NCAA Tournament in the round of 1816 01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:07,280 Speaker 7: thirty two, it'll be Kansas against Gonzaga, and it's Gonzaga 1817 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 7: a four point favorite. Like you're just like wait, what, 1818 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 7: Like what reality am I in? That Kansas is not 1819 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,320 Speaker 7: the favorite in that game. Gonzaga is legit, Like they 1820 01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,639 Speaker 7: have dudes. Nolan Hickman had a fantastic day from outside. 1821 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:20,320 Speaker 7: It was the three point shooting that I think kera 1822 01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 7: Gonzag against McNeice. That's the one weakness for McNee state. 1823 01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,000 Speaker 7: They couldn't defend the three. Guess what Gonzaga ten to 1824 01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:29,400 Speaker 7: twenty one from three. And that's what good coaching does. 1825 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 7: They understood what the assignment was. Gonzaga is not a 1826 01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 7: great three point shooting team. They don't take a lot 1827 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 7: of three point shots. In fact, they're one of the 1828 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 7: worst teams in the country in terms of three point 1829 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 7: right outside the top three hundred, in their entire offense 1830 01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,120 Speaker 7: consisting of mostly two point shots. 1831 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 6: So I think this is a very. 1832 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 7: Interesting matchup because I think you have two really good coaches, 1833 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,679 Speaker 7: very underrated coaches in self and few and who handles 1834 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 7: the adjustments. This is the most interesting turnaround in the 1835 01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 7: entire tournament. Is when we go from the round of 1836 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 7: sixty four, that first game, that early nerves, and then 1837 01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,000 Speaker 7: you have to turn around two days later and play 1838 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:10,680 Speaker 7: which coach has their team ready. There are incredible just 1839 01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 7: drop offs and lifts in your rate because of that turnaround. 1840 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 7: It is a short turnaround. There's not a lot of 1841 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,400 Speaker 7: time to prep for the next team. The teams that 1842 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:22,439 Speaker 7: have the experience and the coaching and the pedigree tend 1843 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 7: to handle those transitions. Both of these teams handle it well. 1844 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 7: I just think the market's kind of flashing Kansas here, 1845 01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:30,080 Speaker 7: I don't love it. 1846 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 6: I like it Kansas plus Ford Day I thinks the most. 1847 01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,080 Speaker 4: I don't know why. I like him. 1848 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:35,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I like it. 1849 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:41,320 Speaker 5: No, But the point is with Gonzaga where they were. 1850 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,280 Speaker 3: They were Cinderella like this. 1851 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:45,639 Speaker 5: This was one of my favorite calls is from ninety 1852 01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,599 Speaker 5: nine when Gonzaga upset Florida. Gus Johnson on the call. 1853 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 4: Zaga flip. 1854 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 5: Right like they were Cinderella. And they've been down this 1855 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 5: season compared to re seasons, they've been even stronger recently. 1856 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,439 Speaker 5: I'm not saying they're nothing to write home about this season. 1857 01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:07,920 Speaker 5: I'm just saying Mark Few has built that program up 1858 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:10,320 Speaker 5: from what you just heard from Gus Johnson in ninety 1859 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:14,559 Speaker 5: nine to being Goliath. They weren't just David like. They 1860 01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,120 Speaker 5: turned into one of the powers in college basketball. Down 1861 01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,680 Speaker 5: a little bit, but still dangerous. I'm really excited for 1862 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,439 Speaker 5: this matchup against Kansas, and I want to see which 1863 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 5: Kansas team shows up instead. A Kansas team that, even 1864 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:32,720 Speaker 5: without mccullor, looks focused, looks determined, survived one we was 1865 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 5: talking about surviving advance. They almost lost in the first round. 1866 01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,840 Speaker 5: How do they come out today? And then also the Zags, 1867 01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 5: even though they've been down a little bit compared to 1868 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,719 Speaker 5: recent seasons, they're still a really talented squad and deeper, 1869 01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:49,840 Speaker 5: so intriguing matchup.

Maybe that's more of 1894 01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 5: the poodle kind. I don't know right there, But what 1895 01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 5: are you rolling with here today? 1896 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,720 Speaker 6: Jackpot's sleeping right now. Actually know he just woke up. 1897 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,400 Speaker 7: He's looking at me right now, So I better give 1898 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:32,960 Speaker 7: I better do, I better dog analyze the heck out 1899 01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:36,040 Speaker 7: of these dogs, or else he's gonna get really upset. 1900 01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 6: I think Michigan State's the one I'd really look at. 1901 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:40,360 Speaker 4: Actually too, there's two. 1902 01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,479 Speaker 7: I think, Michigan State and Oregon. I think if you 1903 01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 7: start with Spartan, they're both green. How about that if 1904 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:49,280 Speaker 7: you start with Party, they have the matchups I think 1905 01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 7: in the middle to bang with Baycot. 1906 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:51,519 Speaker 6: Now, I saw some. 1907 01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 7: Very prominent prop betters, including our own Brian No bet 1908 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:56,960 Speaker 7: the Baycot rebounding prop to the over I like that 1909 01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:00,639 Speaker 7: look today, But I just think Michigan State has multiple 1910 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,639 Speaker 7: bodies they can throw at him to make his life 1911 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:03,400 Speaker 7: more difficult. 1912 01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 6: For Oregon. 1913 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,200 Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say the wrong team is favorite, because 1914 01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 7: bet MGM and their odds makers know what they're doing, 1915 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:13,040 Speaker 7: but Dana Altman understands how to beat this Creighton defense. 1916 01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:16,679 Speaker 7: So Creighton's defense, Ryan Kachbrenner, the big man in the middle, 1917 01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:19,679 Speaker 7: they play what's called a drop coverage, which means high 1918 01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,519 Speaker 7: pick and roll. Kakbrenner will not hedge, he will drop 1919 01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,599 Speaker 7: back into the paint, and it leaves that mid range 1920 01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 7: game open. 1921 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:26,479 Speaker 2: Well. 1922 01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:28,680 Speaker 7: Ackrone didn't have the shooters to make those, you know, 1923 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:32,519 Speaker 7: open shots. Oregon does. Queisnard has had a forty point game. 1924 01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,240 Speaker 7: Shels Dad the freshman is an absolute rock star getting 1925 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,519 Speaker 7: into the paint. Oregon's gonna have a much easier time 1926 01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 7: navigating that Creighton drop coverage. So I think the Ducks, 1927 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,120 Speaker 7: as we gave in the parlay platter, very live underdog today. 1928 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:48,200 Speaker 4: I like Michigan State, I really do. And I think 1929 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:50,439 Speaker 4: it's because of their defense, but also I think it's 1930 01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,360 Speaker 4: because of what their head coach is going to message 1931 01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:57,759 Speaker 4: this season or this tournament to his players as which 1932 01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,600 Speaker 4: is where the underdogs. How often can you say that 1933 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 4: about a Michigan State team. But look, they went ten 1934 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:06,920 Speaker 4: and ten, a five hundred record in league play. They 1935 01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,479 Speaker 4: snuck into the bracket. A lot of people found that 1936 01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 4: controversial that they got in as the six ranked team 1937 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,800 Speaker 4: out of the Big Ten. Tom Izzo didn't make any 1938 01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,719 Speaker 4: friends when he was talking about hit he he didn't 1939 01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:20,720 Speaker 4: like it. Yeah, these auto bids, Yeah, you know, I 1940 01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:25,000 Speaker 4: hated that, by the way. And it's what's incredible about 1941 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 4: about that is you can sort of build a narrative 1942 01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:31,200 Speaker 4: inside of a locker room where hey, it's us against 1943 01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,160 Speaker 4: the world. Nobody thinks we got a chance against the 1944 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:36,680 Speaker 4: tar heels. Let's go prove him wrong. And I like 1945 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 4: that mentality. I like the hungry dog runs faster mentality 1946 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:46,840 Speaker 4: that Sparty has against against you. N C I I man, 1947 01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:49,400 Speaker 4: I like you said, I like the points better than 1948 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,880 Speaker 4: I like the money line. But I could be convinced. 1949 01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,040 Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna roll with Ku. 1950 01:41:55,840 --> 01:42:00,519 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go quite basy outright victory, but I'll 1951 01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,640 Speaker 5: give you a little, you know, at least plus the 1952 01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:04,519 Speaker 5: three and a half. 1953 01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,599 Speaker 3: You know, I'll take him to cover here. But here's 1954 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:07,960 Speaker 3: the thing. 1955 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:12,560 Speaker 5: I think Kansas is the Russell Wilson of college basketball 1956 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 5: right now, meaning we only. 1957 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,080 Speaker 3: Look at what they don't do. 1958 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:20,519 Speaker 5: We don't look at what they do bring to the table, 1959 01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:24,519 Speaker 5: because all it's been with Kansas is, oh, they're really 1960 01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,519 Speaker 5: regressing down the stretch, which they were. They don't have 1961 01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:31,400 Speaker 5: Kevin McCuller, which they don't. But when you look at 1962 01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:33,320 Speaker 5: what they do bring to the table, well, you got 1963 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,639 Speaker 5: this guy named Bill Self. We're just waxing poetic about 1964 01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:39,720 Speaker 5: tom Izzo. Bill Self has had yes, he's had some 1965 01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:43,760 Speaker 5: tournament disappointments, but he's had some wins, including a national championship. Okay, 1966 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 5: the man knows what he's doing. You have Hunter Dickinson 1967 01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,639 Speaker 5: back from injury, and as Jared said in the first round, 1968 01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,720 Speaker 5: who played pretty well. You've got kJ Adams, which is 1969 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 5: sort of like the miniature college version of Draymond Green stylistically, 1970 01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 5: you know, really good defense, good rebounder, undersize but makes 1971 01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,439 Speaker 5: at work. Dwan Harris is a battle tested point guard. 1972 01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,200 Speaker 5: You have a lot that they bring to the table, 1973 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,680 Speaker 5: and we're just focused on a phantom foul call and 1974 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:13,160 Speaker 5: how Ku faded down the stretch. We're not looking at 1975 01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:16,719 Speaker 5: what they do bring to the table. So for those reasons, 1976 01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:20,000 Speaker 5: I think they are the Russell Wilson of college basketball 1977 01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:23,360 Speaker 5: right now, only looking at glass half empty instead of 1978 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 5: glass half full, and I think against Gonzaga today, Like 1979 01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:31,720 Speaker 5: Jared said, the market is definitely tapping you, almost shoving you, 1980 01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,240 Speaker 5: like hey, hey, we're like shaking you out of bed. 1981 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,160 Speaker 3: Look at this KU team. Look at the. 1982 01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,760 Speaker 5: Value they do bring to the table instead of what 1983 01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 5: they don't bring to the table. 1984 01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,679 Speaker 6: I just took Can I just bet Kansas plus four? 1985 01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:44,880 Speaker 6: Oh my god, I just bet Kansas. 1986 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,960 Speaker 4: Oh my god. I gotta tell you this is oh. 1987 01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,360 Speaker 4: I know, I know that we're talking about the dogs, 1988 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:55,040 Speaker 4: but this one hurts my stomach. I would have to 1989 01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 4: hold my nose to take the points in this one today. 1990 01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:58,880 Speaker 4: Do it? Hey, how about this? 1991 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:01,360 Speaker 7: I'll give you which dog we're not betting on today. 1992 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:04,920 Speaker 7: We're not betting on Ducaine. I love this story. Illinois 1993 01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,240 Speaker 7: is going to run. I think Illinois is legit. They 1994 01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:09,439 Speaker 7: they're the only team in that region that really can. 1995 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:14,160 Speaker 7: Actually Iowa State but Illinois really good. That numbers moved up. 1996 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,200 Speaker 7: I think Duquine got very fortunate. They just I don't 1997 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 7: know how they made it to this point. I mean, 1998 01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,040 Speaker 7: they talk about bid steelers. N C State's the bid Steeler, 1999 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:22,880 Speaker 7: but Ducine getting to the round of thirty two after 2000 01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:25,759 Speaker 7: the season they had is remarkable. But I think Illinois 2001 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:27,600 Speaker 7: has just proven that they can run. 2002 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:28,400 Speaker 6: And they look good. 2003 01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,080 Speaker 7: The other day, I bet More, I bet moorehead State 2004 01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 7: the other day. Aginstoi, man, was I wrong on that one? 2005 01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:35,680 Speaker 7: Illinois was running and gunning, and I think we're not. 2006 01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,280 Speaker 7: If you want to know which dogs aren't marking today, 2007 01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:41,200 Speaker 7: I don't think the boys from Pittsburgh are going. 2008 01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:41,599 Speaker 6: To be barking. 2009 01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:45,280 Speaker 5: It's a yeah, interesting statement, because man, I'll tell you what, 2010 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:46,880 Speaker 5: when Illinois. 2011 01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:49,160 Speaker 6: Is on, they might be the best team in the country. 2012 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,960 Speaker 3: They were nasty. 2013 01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 4: Can I tell you the dog that like you want 2014 01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:56,640 Speaker 4: to talk about having a little like yippie bark like 2015 01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:01,759 Speaker 4: a chihuahua park like that, like you know, just something 2016 01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:03,760 Speaker 4: that's gonna annoy you when you park your car to 2017 01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:08,200 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just licking the glass. It's fogging things up. 2018 01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:15,200 Speaker 4: These Golden Grizzlies, Man, I can't quit them. We have 2019 01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:18,040 Speaker 4: to been open. I mean, you have to give me 2020 01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,639 Speaker 4: the point. I mean, I love I love Jack Golki, 2021 01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:25,320 Speaker 4: I love the We're not a Cinderella might drop at 2022 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:29,240 Speaker 4: the end of that game interview. It is that that 2023 01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:33,360 Speaker 4: can't keep my hands off. It have to sorry, you know, 2024 01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,559 Speaker 4: but NC State, you know they they they fared well 2025 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,360 Speaker 4: against Texas Tech. They kept them out of Armston distance 2026 01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:44,080 Speaker 4: basically the entire game. But yeah, that's just too fun 2027 01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:45,639 Speaker 4: of a storyline to quit on now. 2028 01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:49,080 Speaker 3: Man, it's I'll tell you what. When you look at 2029 01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,679 Speaker 3: DJ Horn, you look at Burns over there, the big 2030 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:54,720 Speaker 3: man with the feathery touch. 2031 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been so much fun. And here's the thing, 2032 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,800 Speaker 5: NC State, they were sinndo. This was just this was 2033 01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:06,680 Speaker 5: a Jimmy v type run really the ACC tournament and 2034 01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,880 Speaker 5: the buzzer beater against Virginia to send the game into overtime, 2035 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:13,400 Speaker 5: and how are they doing this? And now it's like 2036 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 5: yesterday's news. We're on to Oakland. 2037 01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:16,479 Speaker 1: Now. 2038 01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:20,800 Speaker 4: I can't help it. I mean, you're right, it's we're 2039 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,920 Speaker 4: on to Oakland now. Is a great line. By the way, 2040 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,600 Speaker 4: We're on to Oakland. It's it's crazy. The Wolfpack have 2041 01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:31,120 Speaker 4: had this glorious run, like it cannot be understated when 2042 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:34,719 Speaker 4: you really look at the guts and the moxie it's 2043 01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:39,040 Speaker 4: taken to get to the round of thirty two. It's insane. 2044 01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:40,040 Speaker 4: The run that then. 2045 01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 7: Five games in five days, five games and again the 2046 01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:47,639 Speaker 7: last time that's happened was the Yukon hungry Huskies. You're 2047 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,040 Speaker 7: talking about hungry dogs run faster Like that's where that 2048 01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:53,320 Speaker 7: phrase kind of started, the hungry Huskies, right, you know, 2049 01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:55,800 Speaker 7: shabatz napiers, like we can't even get money to buy 2050 01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:59,479 Speaker 7: food because of the different world college sports. You know, 2051 01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:03,640 Speaker 7: back in twenty fourteen, obviously, but that was when I 2052 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:05,839 Speaker 7: was analyzing all the teams that have won the national 2053 01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,200 Speaker 7: title over the last twenty years in Ken Palm's era, 2054 01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 7: that team is the biggest outlier of all the teams. 2055 01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,400 Speaker 7: And if the NC State makes a run of the 2056 01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:16,799 Speaker 7: final four, that would be the next biggest outlier. 2057 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,480 Speaker 4: But what about the Golden Grizzlies, Jared. 2058 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,200 Speaker 6: I think the Golden Grizzlies are going to be golden today. 2059 01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 7: I mean, if you don't bet, if you don't bet Oakland. 2060 01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,120 Speaker 6: And A, then you don't really believe in the soul 2061 01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:28,719 Speaker 6: of March. 2062 01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:32,240 Speaker 7: Madness, because they are everything that March maddeness represents. And 2063 01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,519 Speaker 7: here's the quote. Here's the quote from Greg Campy that 2064 01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 7: made me believe. This was after the Kentucky win. He says, 2065 01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:43,000 Speaker 7: we just win close games. And it confirmed everything that 2066 01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:46,080 Speaker 7: I believed on them because their metrics are not very good. 2067 01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:47,840 Speaker 7: They play in a bad league and they're not a 2068 01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,760 Speaker 7: very good team in terms of their stats, but they 2069 01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:53,320 Speaker 7: just understand how to make winning plays late in games. 2070 01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:55,840 Speaker 7: The box scores don't show that, but they understand it. 2071 01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:57,760 Speaker 7: They believe in that locker room. That's why I love them. 2072 01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,960 Speaker 4: This conversation just made me very happy. 2073 01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,960 Speaker 3: Dogs are you know. I'll say this real fast. 2074 01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,719 Speaker 5: With Goldkie, I liked that after they won their game 2075 01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,840 Speaker 5: and pulled this huge upset against Kentucky, He's like, we're 2076 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:11,680 Speaker 5: not Cinderella. 2077 01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,000 Speaker 6: I love that mind I love that mindset. 2078 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 5: I do too, But how many times it's like Golkie 2079 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:18,240 Speaker 5: and Joe Burrow. 2080 01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:19,000 Speaker 3: That's about it. 2081 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,120 Speaker 5: Those are the only two I think we've seen in 2082 01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:24,280 Speaker 5: the sports world for a while just say no, no, no, 2083 01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:29,320 Speaker 5: we're real because everybody wants to shoehorn themselves into being 2084 01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:33,599 Speaker 5: the underdog, into being Cinderella. You've got Nick Saban when 2085 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,880 Speaker 5: he was at Alabama, their favorite and their players like, yeah, no, 2086 01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:38,519 Speaker 5: we're underdogs in this matchup. 2087 01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:40,800 Speaker 3: It's like, no, you're not, No, you are. So I 2088 01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:41,639 Speaker 3: like when there. 2089 01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:48,080 Speaker 5: Is yeah, I feel like we're underdogs against the Citadel here. 2090 01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 5: Yeah no, But I liked when Oakland was like, no, 2091 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:53,880 Speaker 5: we don't want to wear the glass slipper, We're for real. 2092 01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 3: So I like everything they said. 2093 01:48:55,080 --> 01:49:03,519 Speaker 5: They're gonna get smacked today.

And I just wonder you 2142 01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:23,599 Speaker 5: talk about volatility and they rely so much on outside shooting, 2143 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,040 Speaker 5: and they shoot it at a high clip. But it's 2144 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:29,519 Speaker 5: just one of those teams where if they don't have 2145 01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:33,200 Speaker 5: their fastball, if they're just not hitting at a high rate, 2146 01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,160 Speaker 5: does that secondary pitch is your third pitch good enough 2147 01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:39,680 Speaker 5: to get you by when you're facing some of the 2148 01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:43,160 Speaker 5: big boys. And they faced a double digit seed today. 2149 01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:45,799 Speaker 5: Oregon is a good team, and we know Dana Altman's 2150 01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:49,559 Speaker 5: credentials and all of that. Really good ats at Auburn 2151 01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:55,200 Speaker 5: at Oregon in the tournament. But with Creighton, I'm so 2152 01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,879 Speaker 5: intrigued by this team because they play a fun style. 2153 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:01,719 Speaker 5: It's a fun team to watch. But I'm just keep 2154 01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:03,479 Speaker 5: an eye on them. You could say this about a 2155 01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,240 Speaker 5: lot of teams, but especially them. Keep an eye on 2156 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:10,720 Speaker 5: them if they're not hitting at a good clip from outside, 2157 01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:14,160 Speaker 5: because they're not a team that it's like, Okay, we're 2158 01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:16,320 Speaker 5: a little cold, Well let's just use the inside game. 2159 01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:18,120 Speaker 3: That's not what they do. 2160 01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:21,080 Speaker 5: So I'm curious how they fare today and if they 2161 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:23,519 Speaker 5: survive beyond just today in the tournament. 2162 01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:26,599 Speaker 4: Well what's interesting is, yeah, you mentioned their perimeter game, 2163 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,519 Speaker 4: which they're sixth in the nation in terms of three 2164 01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:34,240 Speaker 4: pointers made per game, but also they've got an insanely 2165 01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:37,720 Speaker 4: high two point percentage as well, so they're efficient when 2166 01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,200 Speaker 4: they have to feed the paint. They just would rather 2167 01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:44,599 Speaker 4: they're volume shooters from perimeter, And I think when you 2168 01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:48,240 Speaker 4: don't have that change up pitch, to your point, Brian like, 2169 01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:51,760 Speaker 4: it really can have an outstanding effect on how a 2170 01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:56,200 Speaker 4: game is played. But I do think Creyton has enough 2171 01:52:57,479 --> 01:53:00,960 Speaker 4: enough know how an ability to or from the paint 2172 01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:04,720 Speaker 4: to score from mid range that it can carry them. 2173 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,800 Speaker 4: This is a stayoff game for me because I like 2174 01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,000 Speaker 4: the Ducks too, and there's reasons we can get into that, 2175 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:14,160 Speaker 4: but I do think they have they have that secondary pitch. Now, 2176 01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:16,760 Speaker 4: if you you're asking them to dig deeper than that, Like, 2177 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,280 Speaker 4: you know, if if they if the Ducks find a 2178 01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:23,040 Speaker 4: way to shut down what they're doing both inside and outside, 2179 01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:26,160 Speaker 4: or if it's just an off night shooting, which offensive 2180 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:29,559 Speaker 4: teams struggle at times, and this could be this could 2181 01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:31,320 Speaker 4: be the end of the road as a result of that, 2182 01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:35,320 Speaker 4: because I think it's it's obviously obviously more of an 2183 01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:38,080 Speaker 4: offensive team, but they're also not slouches on the opposite 2184 01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,679 Speaker 4: side of the court either, So it's a tough matchup 2185 01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:44,920 Speaker 4: for Oregon here. I'm I'm excited for this one, but 2186 01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,439 Speaker 4: this one is I can't. I can't put a side 2187 01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,599 Speaker 4: on this. It's too close for me to call. 2188 01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,680 Speaker 6: I think Creighton is overvalued. I really do so. 2189 01:53:54,479 --> 01:53:59,479 Speaker 7: When I look at their numbers, their defensive numbers look 2190 01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:02,040 Speaker 7: really good, right they're twenty six and ken Palm, But 2191 01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:04,960 Speaker 7: then you dig a little deeper and you kind of 2192 01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,559 Speaker 7: see the shots they're giving up. And again, they play 2193 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:10,280 Speaker 7: a very unique style of defense. They have one of 2194 01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:13,360 Speaker 7: the tallest best rim protectors in the country seven to one, 2195 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 7: Ryan Kalkbrenner. He's not the fleetest to foot, and the 2196 01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:21,320 Speaker 7: way that they overcompensate for the fact that they're not 2197 01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:23,960 Speaker 7: as big on the interior, with the exception of Kaulkbrenner 2198 01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:25,280 Speaker 7: is they just leave him in the middle. 2199 01:54:25,439 --> 01:54:26,080 Speaker 6: So when you have. 2200 01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:28,760 Speaker 7: These screens at the top of the key, usually the 2201 01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 7: big man will come out and hedge and push that 2202 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,360 Speaker 7: guard out past the three point line and make it 2203 01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:36,880 Speaker 7: harder for them to turn the corner. That's not the 2204 01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:40,080 Speaker 7: style that Creighton plays. It's called a drop coverage. So 2205 01:54:40,160 --> 01:54:42,920 Speaker 7: Kaulkbrenner will just drop in the paint and wait for 2206 01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,400 Speaker 7: that guard to come in off the high screen pick 2207 01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,800 Speaker 7: and roll, and it leaves the mid range wide open. 2208 01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:52,040 Speaker 7: So Creighton, despite the fact they have good defensive metrics, 2209 01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:54,240 Speaker 7: they give up a lot of open shots. 2210 01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:56,080 Speaker 6: And here's the perfect example. 2211 01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:59,280 Speaker 7: Shot quality, which grades the quality of shots you take, 2212 01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:01,920 Speaker 7: they give out day after end at the end of 2213 01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:05,360 Speaker 7: every game. Creighton won the other day against Akron by 2214 01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:08,680 Speaker 7: seventeen points. The shot quality final score based off of 2215 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,920 Speaker 7: the quality of shots that Ackron was getting sixty seven 2216 01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,800 Speaker 7: apiece in that game. So it's just to me and 2217 01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:19,080 Speaker 7: Creighton's best win this year over Yukon. They made fourteen threes. 2218 01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,280 Speaker 7: I shot fifty percent from three. If the threes are falling, 2219 01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:24,560 Speaker 7: Creyton could beat anybody. Yep, that is the fastball, and 2220 01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:28,320 Speaker 7: Oregon knows it. Dana Altman, former Creighton coach, he knows it. 2221 01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:30,640 Speaker 7: I just think it's gonna be a tough go for 2222 01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:33,240 Speaker 7: this Creighton defense today against an Oregon point guard that 2223 01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:36,480 Speaker 7: can get into the paint. And if Creighton's not making threes, ooh, 2224 01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:38,040 Speaker 7: it could be a really long day. 2225 01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:39,360 Speaker 3: For the Jays. It's good breakdown. 2226 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,720 Speaker 5: That's the voice of Jared Smith FSR betting analyst Rich 2227 01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:46,120 Speaker 5: Ornberger with US Penn State All American.

And if you are 2272 01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:58,440 Speaker 7: not betting on Oakland today, you are an American. That 2273 01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:00,560 Speaker 7: is what the tournament is all about. We'll take the 2274 01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:04,160 Speaker 7: Oakland Golden Grizzlies. They're gonna get gulk eat again. For 2275 01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:09,280 Speaker 7: NC State, we'll go Oakland, Dayton, Oregon, all underdogs against 2276 01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:10,480 Speaker 7: the spread today for the mix. 2277 01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:13,400 Speaker 4: All right, listen, I added two to one. Last week. 2278 01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:16,680 Speaker 4: I looked at Yukon and I said, I'm going with 2279 01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:20,160 Speaker 4: the public. Last week, Tricky Dicky Public comes back for 2280 01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:23,240 Speaker 4: another week. I'm going with the Zags covering the three 2281 01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:24,920 Speaker 4: and a half points that I can't keep my hands 2282 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,960 Speaker 4: off this one. Gonzaga finished a regular season strong that 2283 01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:31,560 Speaker 4: Jayhawks did not. The Bulldogs played their game in the 2284 01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:35,280 Speaker 4: opening round, well, Kansas didn't.

Confidence is key in the tournament. 2286 01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:40,720 Speaker 4: I like how NC State looked versus Texas Tech.
