20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 2: Hello, Chad. We made it mid March.

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: March Madness is here, buddy, But we got away there

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: obviously first got to hear how you're feeling about your

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: Bears moves, all the Bear chaos, how you feel about

24
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: Justin Fields and the moves you guys made a freegency

25
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: pretty exciting times in Chicago.

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, I'm up and down right like number one. I

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: can remember viscerally when the Bears drafted Justin Fields and

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: me and my kid were jumping off the couch, hugging, Screamingphorick.

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: And the fact that we are now talking about the

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Justin Fields era being over in Chicago, when we were

31
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: desperately falling in love with this guy and his team

32
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: loved him, The city was loving him. We were loving

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: the way he played with Abandon. I think the fact

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: that the Bears could only get a sixth round pick

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: is to me not reflective necessarily of the Bears missing

36
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: out on the market. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

37
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I think every other

38
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: team looked at the film and saw the same thing

39
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the Bears saw, which is why they're drafting Caleb Williams

40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and saw a dynamic athlete who had not developed as

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: a passer, was not a guy who would get it

42
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: done Layton Games, who was not executing in the most

43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: important moments of every game, and they got them. They

44
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: got rid of him for what they could get, and

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: this is the best it's going to be. So I'm

46
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: sad emotionally. I loved him as a player, I loved

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: him as a Bear. I wanted him.

48
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: To do well.

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: But dude, you're giving me a guy who everybody is

50
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: saying is a once in a generation quarterback. And he's

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: throwing a DJ Moore. He's handing off to DeAndre Swift,

52
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: he's throwing to Keenan Allen, he's throwing to Cole Kmet

53
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Like all of a sudden, this is a very dynamic offense.

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: So I'm over it really fast.

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say that it's just the way the

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: NFL has moved now, right with the rookie pay scale.

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is very talented, but there was a reason

58
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: he did drop in the draft, and there's a reason

59
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: that you know Williams has talked about in a different way.

60
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: So with Justin Fields in this move with the Bears,

61
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: we talked about they really didn't have any other choice.

62
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: If he had come in and taken you guys to

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs this season like Jordan Love did, with Green Bay.

64
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: I think then maybe they do trade out and make

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: different moves at this point, right because they would have

66
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: a reason to believe in them. So I know Bears

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: Fands were upset about. I agree with Lowhi. You said

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: that at the end of the day, it is it

69
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: does fall mainly onto Justin field shoulders, and you can

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: blame situation all you want.

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: When there's players like CJ.

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: You step in and can take guys who are not

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: that good on Houston make them into Pro Bowlers. That's

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: when they talk about you draft these quarterbacks that make

75
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: teams of sense. So yeah, if you're upset about losing

76
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: Justin Fields ins Walks the number one pick overall with

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: tons of expectations and Williams n Yeah, just really exciting

78
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: tis right now, Chicago Chubb.

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: We're gonna dig much much deeper into it. Next week.

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk free agency, the end of free agency, how

81
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: it's impacting draft, what we're seeing, how it's impacting, how

82
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: we're thinking about futures, and just general landscaping for the NFL.

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it next week. As a reminder,

Speaker 1: All Right, I promised Stucky, who was so popular. I

108
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: like to remind people Stucky is so popular. Before we

109
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: launched Action Network, Stucky, with a private Twitter account, had

110
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand followers that he was going through and

111
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: improving one by one. That's how much cred this guy has.

112
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: I know he's exhausted. He may have fallen asleep during

113
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: our blabbering intro. Stuck before we even get to it,

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: before we get to the tournament, very quickly, because people

115
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: will listen to this pod today. We got playing games

116
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: tonight and tomorrow. I don't need reasons. Tell me right

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: now your picks for playing games tonight or tomorrow? Best ones.

118
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: For the playing games. And by the way, he said, King,

119
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: I go by Prime Minister, but that's okay.

120
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: The Prime Minister of degenerate nation.

121
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I let's say tonight. I I really don't love

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 4: either game tonight tomorrow. I do like Colorado. I would

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: lean Grambling if I had to take both games. Tonight,

124
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: I would take Colorado State and I would take Wagner.

125
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: But I'm not in a rush to bet either. And

126
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: these get the first four games to me, unless I

127
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: really love something, it's kind of like the like I

128
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: actually have a bet. I have a bet on the

129
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: n I t tonight in Boston College, and I like

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: app State tomorrow night. But the first four to me,

131
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: it's sort of like betting on the coin toss or

132
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: the anthem, Like I don't want to I want to

133
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: wait until the actual thing. It's like that's how I

134
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: grew up. There was never our first four, so you

135
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: have like you used to have this break and then

136
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: Thursday at Tuelbow seven pm. You know, it's the longest morning.

137
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: You're finishing up your brackets, finishing up getting in all

138
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: of your contests. That's like Christmas morning for adults, finalizing all.

139
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: Of your bets.

140
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: So that's like when the tournament really starts for me.

141
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: So these first four games, unless I really love love something,

142
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: which I don't, tonight, I'm a okay passing.

143
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: We are big, big Wagner fans in the Millman House.

144
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Since my wife is from Staten Island, we are going.

145
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: To I'm I am thirty to one to win the

146
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: any C. They were first team.

147
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Ever, we are going to be rooting so hard for

148
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Wagner to represent Staten Island. All right, So, uh, you

149
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: come number one overall seed, number one seed in their

150
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: region and calling the East the region of death? What

151
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: is your logic there? How should this impact our betting?

152
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

153
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: I mean, interestingly enough, the defending champ hasn't won a

154
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: game in the second weekend in sixteen years, So the

155
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: defending champ hasn't had much success, and that was I

156
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: believe when Florida, who was the last team to go

157
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 4: back to back, won two straight national titles. But Yukon

158
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: is a juggernaut by any metric. They are supremely talented,

159
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: well coached, They run extremely good offense, they have a

160
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: ton of size, they have future NBA talent on the perimeter.

161
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: There's really no weaknesses to this team, and they can

162
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: just put runs on you fast. So I know I

163
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: could see Yukon being the exception to the rule at

164
00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: least of late and I have them advancing to the

165
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: Elite eight. I think that they're that good, they're that dominant.

166
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: But this region, if you look at it, the committee

167
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: did them no favors. You have in Yukon's region, who's

168
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: the number one overall seed. You got Iowa State as

169
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: your two they were the Big Twelve champ. You have

170
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: Auburn as your four SEC champ. Ranked in the top

171
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: five on Ken Palm, it's arguably a top five team.

172
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: They're the four seed. Your three seed is Illinois, one

173
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: of the most talented offensive teams in the country. They

174
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: just won the Big Ten championships. You got the you know,

175
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 4: the Big East, the Big Ten, the SEC, and the

176
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: Big Twelve conference champions all in this region. And then

177
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: guess what. You have San Diego State as the five,

178
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: Florida Atlantic the eight. New Yukon could play in the

179
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: second round. Both those teams with a number of the

180
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: same pieces last year, made it to the Final four

181
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: last year. So you have two Final four teams. In

182
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: addition is the teams that are seated five or less.

183
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: So this region is just absolutely loaded. And I mean

184
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: the fact that Yukon who you know, if you just

185
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: go based on Ken Palm, Yukon number one, Auburn also

186
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: in the top five, that could be a Sweet sixteen matchup.

187
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: So this is not an easy path but I don't.

188
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: I just don't trust the Auburn guards. They're too erratic

189
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: for me. So while I don't think it's necessarily a

190
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: bad strategy to have Auburn if you're in a big

191
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: pool beating Yukon there, I personally just can't see it.

192
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: I think that Yukon has too much class and they're

193
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: just too dominant. But history suggests the national champ we'll

194
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: make it till the second weekend over the past fifteen years.

195
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so interesting the conversation here. I live in

196
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: Central Connecticut. I live thirty five forty minutes from Yukon's campus.

197
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: My kid and I we went to Yukon game this year.

198
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: Danny Hurley is just becoming a legend in Central Connecticut

199
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: and in this state, not just because of how well

200
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: the team is playing, but he is no fox like.

201
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: He is out there. He is yelling at fans, he

202
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: is representing in every way. He is so freaking competitive,

203
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: he is so scrappy, he is so fun. I love

204
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: this Ucon team. I want them to advance. I'm glad

205
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: they got the number one seed. I feel like the

206
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: tournament does this every year. The NCAA does this every year,

207
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: they put like all the best bet on teams in

208
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: the same region, and it's so freaking annoying because you

209
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: spend four months tracking these teams and trying to get

210
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: a bead on who are the teams that you think

211
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: might be underrated that might give you a little bit

212
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 1: of an advantage when you get to projecting in the

213
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament as a better or as a racketeer, and

214
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: then they fuck you. The selection committee screws you every

215
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: single time. Stucky agree or disagree.

216
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of times they'll put like

217
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: two really good mid majors that I want to bet

218
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: on against each other in the first round, which I

219
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: always hate. This year, I had on our Big Bets

220
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: on Campus podcast, we put together a futures portfolio, one

221
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: bet a week over the past two months, and I

222
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 4: bet these four futures. Four of our futures are all

223
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 4: in the same region, with Houston and Kentucky winning the

224
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: national title. And then I have final four flyers on Texas,

225
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: A and M and Colorado who are all in the

226
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: South region. So hopefully at least one of those teams

227
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: comes out of the South. But you're right, yeah, the

228
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 4: committee more times than not botches.

229
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: It.

230
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: Look, at the end of the day, whoever gets in

231
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: gets in, and it's betters, then all right, give us

232
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: the matchups and then hey, let's get the lines and

233
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: then let's bet it. But this seating this year was

234
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: just so bizarre, and we are like thanking the chairman

235
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: for like who you know, how many people build brackets.

236
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: It's like, it's not this this job that takes like

237
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: this effort that should be rewarded. It's like, come on,

238
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: you're putting together a turn of bracket and this is

239
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: supposed to be your job and they can never get

240
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: it right, Like dou Caine in New Mexico are seated

241
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: the same. That's just insanity. But whatever, I'm past all

242
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: of that. We're onto the games, We're onto the bracket,

243
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: and we're on to try and find some.

244
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: Bets that stuck here.

245
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: Are there any big frauds that stand out to that

246
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: teams you want to fade head into this tournament that

247
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: you just haven't trusted heading into this thing, and now

248
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: they're playing against teams you do trust, and you're thinking

249
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: you're getting great value in that matchup.

250
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, generally speaking, the teams that profile as you

251
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: know upset can of dates is higher seeds. They all have,

252
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: you know, similar traits in that you know, if you

253
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: take them all together and then you map them out,

254
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: and a lot of times they're elite offenses with bad defenses.

255
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 4: And there's three teams that really stick out in that regard.

256
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for me, I'm in Lexington. I hope Kentucky makes

257
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: a deep run for a future that I have, but

258
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 4: also for my wife's bars and the city. But Kentucky

259
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 4: elite offense, top ten, top five offense, arguably maybe the best,

260
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: a defense that sits outside the top one hundred and

261
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: overall just a efficiency. If you look at just that

262
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: profile top ten offense, defense outside the top one hundred,

263
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: no team is ever with that profile advanced past the

264
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen. You know, also fits that profile in Alabama

265
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: team that you know, all offense, no defense they basically have.

266
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: They have no rim defense. They have just no one

267
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: really that has just great defensive DNA. It's a pretty

268
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: flawed roster from that perspective. They shoot a ton of threes,

269
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: they have an offshooting night, they're gone because they can't

270
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: stop anybody. Same with Kentucky. Kentucky just can't stop anybody,

271
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: and that is just not a recipe for success in

272
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: the tournament. Illinois also fits that profile, major defensive issues,

273
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: elite top five ish offense in the country. They're adjusted

274
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: defensiveicialing around like ninetieth. They remind me of a lot

275
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: of Iowa. Two years ago, we saw Keegan Murray rip

276
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: through the Big Ten tournament. Think he scored one hundred

277
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: and six points over the weekend. That same thing almost

278
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: happened this weekend with Arren Shann, but I think scored

279
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: close to one hundred. Illinois ran through the Big Ten

280
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 4: tournament and they are, you know, fifth in overall justed

281
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: OFFENSI efficiency. That's what Iowa was, and they both were

282
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: around eighty fifth, ninetieth. So I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois. Now, look,

283
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: they have the talent Terren chen Damask that off of

284
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: the talent to make a deep run, but they fit

285
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 4: the profile of a team that gets upset early on,

286
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: and they're playing a team that fits the profile of

287
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: one that pulls off an upset. As a lower seat,

288
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: you want to look for teams that play slower, like

289
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 4: if you look, if you group together, then all the

290
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 4: big upsets by lower seeds. A lot of them play

291
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: half court games, slow it down, fewer possessions, more variants,

292
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 4: and more head State super talented team. They got this

293
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: kid Riley Minnix who is JUCO Player of the Year,

294
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: the OVC Player of the Year six seven is to

295
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 4: score inside and out. They also shoot and make a

296
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 4: ton of threes, which is another characteristic you're looking for.

297
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 4: And they're going to slow the game down. They're not

298
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 4: overly reliant on one player, so Illinois if you're looking

299
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 4: for just a crazy upset that not a lot of

300
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 4: people are going to have in their bracket. I also

301
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: like morehead State against the spread. Whine has come down

302
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: a little bit, but they could put a scare into

303
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: Illinois as long as they stat of foul trouble don't

304
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 4: have much depth.

305
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: And I want to get I want to get deeper

306
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: into the first round because I think there's a lot

307
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: of ringing mashups and even if we don't like the seating,

308
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: there are some decent opportunities. Simon, can you name the

309
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: fastest growing ticketing app in the United States?

310
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: Game Time?

325
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: stuck your partner, Mike Calabrese, your BBOC partner, one of

326
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: our college basketball analysts, had a really interesting tweet. I

327
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: know it was late last night or this morning, about twelve, five,

328
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: thirteen four seeds. If you bet every twelve and thirteen

329
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: seed against the spread and on the money line, you've

330
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: made money in eleven of the past fifteen NCAA tournaments.

331
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: It's about fifty eight percent against the spread, and you're

332
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: up about fifteen units against the On the money line,

333
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you're up about fourteen units in total. That means you'd

334
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: be placing sixteen bets eight against the spread eight money

335
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: line if you did the twelve five thirteen four Calabrese method.

336
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: Five twelve thirteen four is always an interesting matchup. You know,

337
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned Illinois and Moorhead State. That's a three fourteen.

338
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: But as we're looking at these five twelves and these

339
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: thirteen fours, tell me what's standing out to you right now?

340
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean seven number thirteen seeds of one at

341
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: least well in the first round. Number thirteen seeds of

342
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: one in the first round over the past seven tournaments,

343
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: so you're averaging one per year, and one team seed

344
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 4: a thirteen or lower has won a first round game

345
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 4: in fourteen of the past fifteen NCAA tournaments. We've seen

346
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: a fifteen too win a game in each of the

347
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: past three tournaments getting to the sweet sixteenth. It's been

348
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: a crazy run for fifteen seeds. But looking at the

349
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: four thirteens, they all are really intriguing to me. As

350
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 4: you know, I could make a case why there could

351
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: be an upset, So we'll start. Let's start in the East.

352
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: We have Yale and Auburn. Auburn jobbed in their seating right,

353
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: they could arguably metricwise, should be a one or at two.

354
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 4: Now they get Yale. Yale does a couple things. Look,

355
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 4: we've seen IVY League teams like Princeton last year make

356
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: a runner. The Speed sixteen is a fifteen seed. They

357
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 4: beat a way more talented team in Arizona in the

358
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 4: first round of two seed, which is where you know, Arizona,

359
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: excuse me, where Auburn should really be here. What does

360
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: Yale do? They slow the game down, right, They have

361
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: a lot of They can shoot from three. They also

362
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: have some mid range shooters, which you need against the

363
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: Auburn defense that really does take away anything at the

364
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: rim and does effectively take away the three point shot.

365
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: But you know, they don't really turn it over. They're

366
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: good on the defensive glass. They're just not going to

367
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: beat themselves, and they're going to grind the game down

368
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: to a halt run, good offense. They're well coached, so

369
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: Auburn is. And look, not turning it over as important

370
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: against Auburn's defense. So if Yale can just grind that

371
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: game down to a halt and make it uncomfortable for Auburn.

372
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: You know, then the nerves are going to start coming in.

373
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: Yale fits the profile a team that pulls off upsets

374
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: to the West, Colgate, what are we doing? Four to

375
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 4: thirteens the West? Alabama Charleston. This is the reason you

376
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 4: would pick Charleston. This is your three point variance game.

377
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 4: All this game is is three point variants. These are

378
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: two of the highest three point shooting rate teams in

379
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: the country. There's going to be breeze all over play.

380
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: So how does Alabama lose this game? And both these

381
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: defenses have holes all over they have an all shooting

382
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: then they go, you know, six of thirty from three.

383
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 4: They could lose this game. If Charleston isn't all shooting night,

384
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: they're going to lose by thirty because then Alabama, in

385
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: transitioning at the rim, is gonna eat them alive. But

386
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: that's what you're looking for when you want to pick

387
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: an upset two I think things you want to look for.

388
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 4: Can a team really slow it down, lower the possessions,

389
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: if they shoot a lot of threes, that's even better,

390
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 4: Increase the variants even more, or you have a team

391
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 4: in a super fast paced game with a lot of

392
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: three point variants and they're capable of matching the other

393
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 4: three three. And if you want to know how high

394
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 4: scoring this game potentially could be, I believe the totals

395
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: at one seventy two have not seen a total that

396
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: high in a tournament game since nineteen ninety five. So

397
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: there should be a ton of points here. But if

398
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: Alabama is an all shooting night, their defense has major holes.

399
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 4: Charleston can shoot the three they've been red hot of late,

400
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: as long as the regression bug doesn't hit. If Alabama's

401
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: all from three, Charleston's winning that game.

402
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: In the South, by the way, I'll say our man

403
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: Evan Abrams, just because it's not NFL season doesn't mean

404
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: that Evanie Abrams doesn't dig into the stats. He tweeted

405
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: out that exact stat about this being the highest total

406
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: basically in almost twenty years, this Alabama Charleston game.

407
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, now it was, and now it's up to one

408
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: seventy two, which is high since nineteen ninety five. In

409
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 4: the South, you have Duke who in twenty twelve and

410
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 4: in twenty fourteen. Some people don't remember they were upset

411
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 4: as a top three seed against Mercer and Lehigh with CJ. McCollum,

412
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: have been avoided any of those upsets since. But Vermont

413
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: well coached team. They are experienced, They have an outstanding defense,

414
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 4: and they slow the game down to a crawl. They

415
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: you know, don't go after any offensive rebounds because they

416
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 4: want to get back and do not let you get

417
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: in transition. They want the game to be super slow,

418
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: half court, grinded out style, and Duke doesn't play that

419
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: fast this year, so this should be a half court game.

420
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: Vermont also shoots a ton of threes, so there's high

421
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: variants here. They're not great from the perimeter, but they have,

422
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 4: you know, a few different capable guys who can get hot,

423
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: so you know they're not going to beat themselves again.

424
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 4: They're good on the defensive glass, they don't foul, they

425
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 4: don't turn it over on the offensive end. If they're

426
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: hitting their threes in a lower scoring game. Right this

427
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: totals round, I think one point thirty one ish Vermont

428
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 4: could potentially have the opportunity. Now they're going to be

429
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: extremely at They're going to be an extreme disadvantage as

430
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 4: far as talent and athleticism, especially at the guard positions,

431
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: but their defense is legit. They have a kid at

432
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 4: the rim who's really good and a kid Bogues on

433
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 4: the outside who's a lockdown perimeter defender. They're making their threes.

434
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: Look out. You could have Vermont putting a scare or

435
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 4: potentially pulling off an upset, as it did in two

436
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: thousand and five when TJ. Soorantine famously hit that shot

437
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 4: from the parking lot, which was Vermont's only tournament win

438
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 4: in program history. And then going to the West the Midwest,

439
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: we have what Samford Kansas. Now, what's interesting about this matchup.

440
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 4: I don't really love the matchup for Sanford because Samford

441
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: wants to run. They play what's called Bucky Ball under

442
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: their coach Bucky McMillan, Super up tempo, just run, run, running, gun, transition,

443
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 4: They press, they try to force turnovers. They run heavy,

444
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: extended pressure zone. Getting into a transition game with Kansas

445
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: and zoning Kansas isn't the best idea. They also don't

446
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: have size to deal with Hunter Dickinson. But there are

447
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 4: some things that potentially could work in sanford'sia. They are fast,

448
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: but they shoot a ton of threes. They allow a

449
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: ton of three, so they could have three point variants

450
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: working in their favor. It is a team, by the way,

451
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: that lost by fifty five to Purdue in the first

452
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: game of the season. They had no answer for Eaty.

453
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: But what makes this game interesting is that Kansas has injuries.

454
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: You know, two of their best players and two of

455
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: the best players in the country Kevin mccullor is going

456
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: to play at the next level Hunter Dickinson.

457
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: They're big men.

458
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 4: They didn't play in the Big twelve tournament. Now some

459
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: of that was probably precautionary, but we don't know how

460
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: healthy they really are or how limited they'll be. And

461
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 4: kind of a nuanced thing here is this game will

462
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 4: be played in Salt Lake City. Samford is deep, one

463
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 4: of the deepest teams in the country, if not the most.

464
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: You know, they go, we'll go twelve deep. They have

465
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 4: eight guys who shoot over thirty eight percent from three,

466
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: and they will chuck threes. But they have a lot

467
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: of depth. They're playing in outitude. Kansas doesn't have a

468
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: lot of depth, and if they're also dealing with injuries,

469
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: you know, that could show in the second half of

470
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: this game, where Samford could potentially you know, in an

471
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: up tempo game, wear down Kansas, the legs could potentially

472
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: go so on paper, I don't love getting you know,

473
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: a team that's super fast paced, not not a lot

474
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: of size, and Kansas is such a good transition offense.

475
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 4: But the injuries, the altitude, Sanford's depth make it really interesting.

476
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 4: So I can make a case for any of the four.

477
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: What I would recommend, and what I usually do from

478
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 4: this crop is, you know the thirteen seeds, don't pick

479
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: them all to advance, pick one that you like and

480
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: roll with that. You don't want to go all upsets,

481
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 4: but you know, if there's a thirteen or fourteen that

482
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 4: you really like, you know, maybe pick one or two

483
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 4: from the thirteen to fifteen seed line. That's usually what

484
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: I do, and I'll have a piece out if it's

485
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: not up already. Actually, overk dot com, I rank all

486
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: of the potential upset chances of the thirteen through fifteen seeds.

487
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 4: And it's not just by projected lines. It's also looking

488
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 4: at the matchup and then the amount of variants in

489
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: that game, so the pace, the amount of threes, you know,

490
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: any injury concerns. So definitely could make a case for

491
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: all of the thirteens here, but don't go crazy and

492
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: pick them all.

493
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: That piece is out because I'm reading it, Sorry, Simon,

494
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: I just wanted people to know. Go to actionnetwork dot

495
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: com download the Action Network Gap checkout Stucky's piece on

496
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: his best bets for seats thirteen to fifteen.

497
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: Simon, go and just picking back off what he's saying.

498
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: That's that I saw.

499
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Evan or one of

500
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: our guys from Action tweeted out that if you're looking

501
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: for futures and the crazy upsets, college basketball's not the

502
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: greatest place. Apparently the last forty years, there's only been

503
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: four twenty one to one or longer long shots that

504
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: came through and won the national title. And surprisingly two

505
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: of the times those Yukon, which with one of them

506
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: was last year and the other two were Villanova, So

507
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: it tends to be if you're betting the future market.

508
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: I think Stucky's kind of touching a little bit here

509
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: where it's like there's so many variances in shooting, you

510
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: just want to bet the best team for the most

511
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: part of the best coach in college basketball, And I mean,

512
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: people don't remember that Ukon team last year was one

513
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: of the best college basketball teams we've ever seen. Quietly,

514
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: people don't realize, I mean, I'm almost Obbausly. They won

515
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: every game by double digits. In their final Yeah, their

516
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: final game was against San Diego State, which is just

517
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: crazy to think back that San Diego State was almost.

518
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: The winner of March Madness last year.

519
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: So I got a lot of questions about people asking

520
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: me about the long shot stuff. I feel like, Stuck,

521
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: he's kind of talking about it right here where it's

522
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: like a lot of the best teams are kind of

523
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: going to move on here.

524
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: So you know, I didn't know if you mentioned it yet, Stuck.

525
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: Do you have anything you haven't said.

526
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: Yet of your favorite ATS bets for the next Thursday

527
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 3: Friday matchups?

528
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I let's see on. Let me pull up the

529
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: app to see what I have on Thursday. I already

530
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: talked about more at State. I think that's you know,

531
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 4: the line has come down a little bit. I still

532
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: like it a bit from where it is against Illinois,

533
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: a team that profiles is a great upset candidate, very

534
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 4: well coached experience. Going up against that Illinois team that

535
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: just really lacks defense. I also like Drake against Washington State. Drake,

536
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: you can be pretty close to home, might have a

537
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: little home crowd advantage, and I like the matchup for them.

538
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: They're big men, can stay on the court in this

539
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: particular matchup. Their super experienced. They were here last year.

540
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 4: They were up by eight five to go in Miami.

541
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: You went to the final four and just choked away

542
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: the lead. Debrees their best player had one of his

543
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: worst games. I really like this matchup for Drake. Just

544
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: x's and O's off that written up as to why

545
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: I won't go too deep into it. I also like

546
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: Akron on Thursday. It's not a pick. I've seen a

547
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: lot of people talk about either way in the game

548
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: between Akron and Creighton. But the MAC has quietly been

549
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 4: very good as double did underdogs, and their coach John

550
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: Gross in particular, has been great in the tournament. He's

551
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: seven to one against the spread and has pulled off

552
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 4: a couple upsets when he was with Ohio now he's

553
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: with Akron. But this Acron team they folded down the stretch.

554
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: They kind of picked it up in the MAC tournament.

555
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 4: They got a little lucky. There was a Kent State

556
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: foul at the end of the game, thinking the game,

557
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: you know, if they had a foub but they were

558
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: actually up one with four to go. That's the only

559
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: reason that they're here. I still feel bad for that kid.

560
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: But they were just they couldn't make a three. They

561
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: were shooting like they shot like twenty eight percent from

562
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: three after February first, they were thirty four percent before.

563
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: So they were just running into some bad shooting variants.

564
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: But Ackron can do a number of things here. One,

565
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: they generally slowed the game down. They are very experienced,

566
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 4: and this was a team, you know, three or four

567
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: starters are back from a team that two years ago

568
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: in the tournament took UCLA down to the wire. Final

569
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: score of that game fifty seven to fifty three. Creyton

570
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 4: does not play fast. They're very methodical. Akron, you know,

571
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 4: is gonna slow this game down. You have to hit

572
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 4: mid range jumpers. Against Creighton. They play a drop defense

573
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: with KLK Brenner protects the rim Kent State. Excuse me.

574
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: Akron has a number of those guys who can hit

575
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 4: mid range jumpers. They have a big their center who

576
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 4: can step out and hit from three at like thirty

577
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: six thirty seven percent Enrique Freeman's a really good player.

578
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: This is really experienced team that's gonna slow the game

579
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 4: down right it to a halt. And if you're you know,

580
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 4: looking at the matchup on both sides, it's not a

581
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 4: terrible matchup for Akron, So I wouldn't be surprised if

582
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: that game is close late. I think that there's definitely

583
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 4: some value in the Zips Friday. I I like Baylor

584
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: to blow the doors off of Colgate. The athletic and

585
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 4: talent mismatch there is just too great, and Baylor should

586
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 4: be getting Nanston Love back. He's one of the best

587
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: six men in the country. They have three future NBA players.

588
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: I just I cannot see Colgate hanging around. This is

589
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: not the same Colgate team that we saw the past

590
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: couple of years. Their offensive adjusted deficiency last year forty fourth,

591
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: this year two hundred and twelve. They lost two really

592
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 4: important wing players. Their defense is a little bit better,

593
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 4: but they are They're just going to be athletically overmatched here.

594
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 4: So I think Baylor eventually pulls away from Colgate and

595
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: those offenses that were better than this year against kind

596
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 4: of similar teams in two of the past three years.

597
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: You know, They were in it against Wisconsin in kind

598
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: of a half court ish battle, but they lost by

599
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 4: twenty to Texas. They lost by seventeen to Arkansas. I

600
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 4: think that's what we're looking at against a Baylor team, young, talented,

601
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: They've changed their defense. They're gone more zone, which Drew

602
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 4: used to run of late, which has fixed some of

603
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: their issues, will make them even more dangerous in the tournament.

604
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: Outside of conference play, Drew had some teams that he

605
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: took to the legally because of his zone. I think bayl

606
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: are not the worst pick to make it to the

607
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 4: final four as well. That West Region with North Carolina

608
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: is the one very vulnerable one, especially compared to the others.

609
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: I think there could be chaos in that region if

610
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 4: I was very confident. I'm still filling out my bracket.

611
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 4: I went through all the first round games over the

612
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: past two days. I now have to go through every

613
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 4: potential matchup over the next day, so I haven't finalized

614
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: like how my bracket's breaking yet. But even though I've

615
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 4: gone through all the first rounds, I'm still not confident

616
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: who wins Michigan State Mississippi State. There's always this dilemma

617
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 4: the one seed that I want to fade and or

618
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 4: just knock them off my bracket. They always get the

619
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 4: eight to nine game that I don't have any confidence in.

620
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 4: So then if you pick if I picked Michigan State

621
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 4: to beat North Carolina, and by the way, that line

622
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: would be like three and a half, that Michigan State

623
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: and North Carolina are not that far apart. But if

624
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 4: I pick Michigan State and then they lose Misissippi State,

625
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 4: which wouldn't shock me, then my bracket's ruined regardless. But

626
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: I think Baylor has a really good shot of getting

627
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 4: to the final four.

628
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: I have a joke sounds like sounds like Colgate maybe

629
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: didn't floss as well this year. That's why they're efficiency dropped.

630
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, guys, it's an audio medium, so you know,

631
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: if anybody wants to laugh, Tito is coming after me

632
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: in the comments here. Good lord, that's terrible. You know what,

633
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: I think it's time. I think it's time to transition.

634
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,040

00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're getting there. Hey, I tell you what.

663
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,040

665
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 4: But wouldn't you rather take his word for it? What?

Speaker 1: All right, here's another great stat stock and I'm gonna

667
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set you I'm going to set you up.

668
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: Everyone's been talking about this, but I just want people

669
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: to be clearer. So everyone loves ken Pom. Ken Palm

670
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: for years has been going on twenty plus years, has

671
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: been using these advanced analytics that everybody who follows college

672
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: basketball focuses on more when it comes to power rankings

673
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: than just about anything else.

674
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 4: Right.

675
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: I can remember being in the back of the super

676
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Book talking to j Cornegie about what he was looking

677
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: at in college basketball. You know, fifteen years ago when

678
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I first heard the phrase ken Pom and how bookmakers

679
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: were using ken Pom to help create their point spreads.

680
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: So ken Pom pre tournament data twenty two of the

681
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: last twenty four national champions in ken Pom had a

682
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: top eighteen adjusted offense. Twenty three of the last twenty

683
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: four national champs had a top thirty seven adjusted defense.

684
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: That leaves us with seven legit title contenders. These teams

685
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: were all in the top categories of ken Pom adjusted

686
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: offense and defense. Yukon, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, Creighton, Auburn, Duke.

687
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: This does not include, by the way, North Carolina, Iowa State, Tennessee, Marquette.

688
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: I'm talking about four one and two seeds right there, Illinois, Baylor, Kentucky, Alabama, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Alabama,

689
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: three teams that Stuck mentioned earlier as sort of being

690
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: those all offense, no defense teams that tend to struggle

691
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: in the tournament. All right, So knowing that Stuck, can

692
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: you give me your top futures bets right now?

693
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 4: Top futures bets? I don't know mine already that I

694
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: haven't looked at a futures odds board, but I would

695
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: say my pick. I'm a stubborn man. My picked since

696
00:39:54,120 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season has been Houston. Now about

697
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm getting very weird vibes because I I shouldn't say

698
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: since the beginning of the year, but this was, you know,

699
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: maybe a month or two into the season. I said,

700
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: Houston's the best team. They should not be plus nine

701
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: to fifty, ten to one, and you know now they're

702
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, six, six to one. About halfway through

703
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 4: the NFL season, I said Baltimore is the best team.

704
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: They should not be ten to one. They should be

705
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: the favorite. And that's where they ended up, just like

706
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 4: where Houston is now, right in the same ballpark as Yukon.

707
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: And then they ran into Patrick Mahomes and forgot how

708
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 4: to run the ball, so.

709
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: Chose not to run the ball, by the way, chose

710
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: not to run the ball.

711
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 4: Or throw with play action. But look, yeah, I'm not

712
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: still bitter, but I still think Houston is going to

713
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 4: get this done. Now. They it's really amazing what they've done.

714
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: Some of their injuries and so their depth is iffy.

715
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 4: They lost Tuggler, who's just a suit. He brings super length,

716
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: and they're gonna miss him a bit. Now they can

717
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 4: you know, they can still get it done without them.

718
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: But it's a very aggressive defense. It's the best defense

719
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 4: in the country for my money. So at times they

720
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 4: can foul, and you know, they foil at a pretty

721
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 4: high rate because they're so aggressive. So you know, all

722
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: it takes is I don't think that there's anyone that

723
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna have trouble with getting passed to the second weekend.

724
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 4: Maybe Wade Taylor for Texas A and him if he

725
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 4: goes bananas, they should get to the second weekend. But

726
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 4: you know, you play like a super talented team and

727
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 4: you get in foul trouble early with all the injuries.

728
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 4: They lost the kid to Arsenal early in the year,

729
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 4: they lost someone another contributor to after that, so their

730
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 4: depth gets really thin if they get into foul trouble early,

731
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: which does scare me a bit. But I trusted Sampson,

732
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 4: who's a great coach. I trust Jamal Shed who's one

733
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 4: of the best point guards in the country that plays

734
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 4: in March, and he's a guy who is not looking

735
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 4: to score all the time. And you do have a

736
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: scoring threat on the outside. An LJ. Cryer can get

737
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: red hot from three party has a deep run in

738
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: the tournament national title with Baylor. But Shed can just

739
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,959
Speaker 4: he is so smart, not only in the defensive ends,

740
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 4: one of the best defensive players in the country, but

741
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 4: he facilitates. But when the team's going through a scoring drought,

742
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: which Houston can do it, he could turn on the scoring.

743
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: And he's just such a good feel for knowing when

744
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 4: he needs to be that scoring threat and when he

745
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: needs to be that facilitator. Their defense is always going

746
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: to play, even when they have an off shooting day.

747
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 4: It's not an elite shooting team. They don't take great shots,

748
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 4: but they are an elite on the offensive glass, which plays,

749
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 4: and you don't. You're not overly three point reliant. So

750
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna trust Shed, I'm gonna trust Sampson to get

751
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: this done, and hopefully Yukon gets picked off before the

752
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 4: National Championship, because that would mean Houston would be the

753
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 4: best team per my Power ratings in my head as well,

754
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 4: the best team left standing. I also liked their path,

755
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 4: like if you look at who they could face in

756
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen, Wisconsin or Duke, Like Wisconsin can't defend

757
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 4: at the rim, They're going to get bullied, and that's

758
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 4: Duke's biggest problem in my eyes, similar to last year.

759
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: You know, Tennessee. That was the big talking point going

760
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 4: into that game, and it came true that Duke couldn't

761
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 4: handle the Tennessee physicality, and this Duke team also lacks

762
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 4: in that department you saw. I think that's part of

763
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: the reason why they got swept by Carolina is in

764
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: both those games, if you watch them, they just yea,

765
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 4: Carolina looked like men versus boys at times, and on

766
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 4: the perimeter and inside they were just bowling them. That's

767
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 4: what I think will happen if the chalk holds and

768
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 4: Duke gets to Houston. So I think Houston gets to

769
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 4: the Elite eight. And then in that bottom half, who

770
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 4: do you have Texas Tech potential dangerous team If you

771
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 4: look at all the starting fives at least one hundred possessions,

772
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 4: they have one that is has the highest overall justed

773
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 4: efficiency in all of college basketball. But they have a

774
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 4: couple guys that are injured. Are they going to be

775
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 4: fully healthy? Marquette Is Tyler Kohleck fully healthy, didn't play

776
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 4: the biggest tournament, hasn't played since last month, dealing with

777
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 4: an oblique injury is their most important player. And then

778
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 4: you know Florida just lost their big men. One of

779
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 4: their most important big men. Do an injury, a brutal

780
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 4: injury if you saw it to his leg. And then

781
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 4: you have Kentucky, a team that historically you can't trust

782
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 4: because they don't play enough defense to get through six games,

783
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: and especially elite compeition. So I think the South is

784
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 4: a really gettable region and a good break for how

785
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 4: the draw broke for Houston. So I'm gonna say Houston.

786
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 4: I like Houston to get out of here, and I'm

787
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 4: sticking with my guns and saying Houston wins at all.

788
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I've come to the conclusion on my

789
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: final four. Are you ready? Yep, Houston. I want to

790
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: say Auburn, but I'm going with Yukon. I'm going with Purdue,

791
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: and then I think.

792
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: Out of the rest one so far, you're really going

793
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: on a limb here.

794
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: It's Chalky. Listen, by the way, you're going out of

795
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: the limb because it doesn't happen as often as you think,

796
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: so it actually is kind of risky. And then out

797
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: of the West, I'm going with Arizona, but I'm also

798
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: choosing four teams, Chalky, Chad, I'm choosing four teams that

799
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: are in that Ken palm seven, right, and so the

800
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: the one I would trade out. It's Chalky Chad, but

801
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: also a little bit homer Chad, because I'm favoring Yukon

802
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: just because it's more fun for me personally and locally

803
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: when Yukon is advancing, because our whole little town, it

804
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: was Harford gets a little crazy, and the mayor mayor

805
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: was Harford lives down the block and her family big,

806
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: big yukonners, so it'll be a fun time on our block.

807
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: And Chad decided to get crazy and went with the

808
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 4: two seed in the West. I can't happen. That is

809
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 4: that is just shocking. By the way, I will say

810
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 4: a crazy stat when you're filling out your bracket, maybe

811
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 4: this is the year it happens, and it doesn't mean

812
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: it can't happen. But a one versus the two in

813
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 4: the elite eight has not happened since twenty nineteen. So

814
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: that means in any region there hasn't been a one

815
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 4: versus a two that get there. They've gone oh fifteen, Well,

816
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 4: I guess that's it wasn't a tournament. Yeah, one verse

817
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 4: two is when you phone out your bracket, you know,

818
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean it can't happen this year it won't,

819
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: but you know. It shows you how chaotic these brackets get.

820
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 4: So if you see yourself with like three regions that

821
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 4: have one verse two, you might want to switch some

822
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 4: things up. It's okay to I think I do have

823
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: one of the regions with one verse two this year.

824
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, as an Eppisode twenty nine team, when Duke

825
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 4: played Michigan State, what are you gonna say?

826
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, Sam, what are you going to say?

827
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: You're good? You know my crazy theory.

828
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: One of the first lessons I learned from professional better

829
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 3: is you bet on a blue team in college basketball.

830
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: And it sounds crazy people the blue bloods, but every year.

831
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: I fill out my bracket that way.

832
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: If it's two teams matched up, I go with the

833
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 3: team that wears blue.

834
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: Long behold. If you go through just.

835
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 3: Even the last couple, I don't even thirty twenty years,

836
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: it's gonna be predominant teams that wear blue that win

837
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 3: the national title. Again, I know it sounds stupid, but

838
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 3: it's the way it works, these blue blood teams. So yeah,

839
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: for me, keeping it simple, I go blue heavy with

840
00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: my final four. I got you converse Arizona Duke, Creyton

841
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 3: Duke versus Yukon in the final. I'm a Duke fan, obviously,

842
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 3: people know that with Yukon win it all, repeat champs

843
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 3: like stuck said to be the first one since Florida,

844
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 3: which if you don't remember, if you're too young to remember,

845
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 3: go watch those Florida teams basically had seniors and juniors

846
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: on the team that could easily gone to the NBA,

847
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 3: but stayed to win the national titles.

848
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: So we're due. We're due for a repeat champ. So

849
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: I'm with chat. I like. I like the fun of

850
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: betting the Yukon that win it All this year.

851
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 4: One that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

852
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 2: But two blue bloods.

853
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 4: But two that's who that pick a random way to

854
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 4: fill out your bracket and you'll have just as good

855
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: a chance as someone who actually follows the sport. That's

856
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 4: just how it works. Can but trivia, can you name

857
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 4: the two champions over the past twenty years that did

858
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 4: not wear a blue It's only been.

859
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 2: Two, but Baylor's won yep, And then we will Louisville.

860
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Louisville in twenty thirteen, which technically was vacated. And

861
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 4: by the way, chadlu people you mentioned, uh well, I'll

862
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:06,959
Speaker 4: have to check back on the against the spread record

863
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 4: of blue teams over the best and just stay away

864
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 4: if it's blue verse blue. But you mentioned Jake Cornegae Legend,

865
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 4: Jay Uh and Ken Palm. I know a professional better.

866
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 4: When Ken Palm was first starting to come out, that

867
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 4: offered to pay Ken Pom to go away.

868
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: Wow, no way. Yeah, well it was too much of

869
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: an edge, and now everybody knows it. Apparently everybody knows

870
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: Ken Pomp except the Instateable Thing Selection Committee, who does

871
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: not have any idea what Ken Pom is, Otherwise they

872
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: would be seeding these teams a little bit differently. Stuckey
