Speaker 5: Yeah?

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 6: I mean brain power is completely extinct, and as you

33
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 6: mentioned in our other other show, we can break down

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 6: every matchup angle we want, but the team that goes

35
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 6: fifteen to thirty from three, it just doesn't.

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: Matter, right.

37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 6: So if you have that ability to look into their

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 6: crystal ball and find out who that team will be,

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 6: let us know.

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 5: We'd like to be a part of that.

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 6: But I don't have that currently, so we'll have to

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: We're left with matchup angles and value and spreads and

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 6: all that good stuff.

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, bestic do.

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: Is break down the matchups? Yeah, I hope for the

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: best the college Bastball's be a lot of three point variance.

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: We'll side many of these games, enjoy it that responsibly

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: as always, and hope that the ball bounces your way.

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: But I'm excited to get into all of these games.

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: You're going to actually be going to the tournament de Boine, right.

51
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, Me and our editor Pete Rudin, we're gonna be

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 7: on media row for the first Thursday games. I believe

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 7: it's Kansas Howard, Arkansas, Illinois, might see Colin Wilson there,

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 7: then Texas Colgate and off with Penn State Texas an Ups.

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 8: So it should be a really really fun day.

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: Beautiful all right.

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: For those of you in a hurry, listen, We're gonna

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: go through every game very quickly and just give our

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: favorite side total or pass before we get into every

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,360

00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: Shut it up in college basketball?

99
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's get right in to the Friday slate.

100
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: Let's start in the East Region. First game in Columbus,

101
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: Ohio twelve to fifteen Eastern on CBS. USC takes on

102
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: Michigan State, the Power Conference matchup. Michigan State sitting in

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: a one and a half point favoruere over under one

104
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: thirty seven and a half. Tom Izzo a lot of

105
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: success in the past in the tournament. Are you riding

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: with the zone here or fading? Matt Let me throw

107
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 3: it to you. What are your thoughts in this game?

108
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: I'm famous Zone because my guy in Jenfield is to

109
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: be trusted in postseason play. He's ten and two against

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 6: the number in the ANSLOVA Tournament. Now, I know some

111
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: of that coincides with the Florida Gulf Coast front, but

112
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 6: he's been kind of in this double digit slot before.

113
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 6: As a broader kind of macro take the PAC twelve

114
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 6: is a conference. It tends to do a lot better

115
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 6: than some of these other more homogenous types of leagues

116
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: like the Big Ten, the Mountain West. We've kind of

117
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 6: thrown shade at too, but PAC twelve a lot of

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 6: junk defenses, zones, mix and match. I think their ability

119
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: to be multiple against a big ten team is going

120
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 6: to be a pretty huge advantage here. And I just

121
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 6: like the way this team's playing. They got Josh Morgan

122
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 6: back recently, risk resticks and waters Boogie. Ellis is criminally

123
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 6: underrated as a guard. I think people no one knows

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 6: about him. So yeah, I like I see. I think

125
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 6: people are too enamored by the Izo angle.

126
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: I'm just not buying it. I'm on sc here.

127
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned the PAC twelve.

128
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: It's it seems like it's one of those conferences reverends

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: like I want to fade PAC twelve, right, But then

130
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: they always have success in the tournament past ten years.

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 3: Most profitable conference in the tournament the PAC twelve fifty five,

132
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: thirty nine and two against the spread. One thing, you know,

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: with the points, I think this is more of a

134
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: coin flip game with one thing that gives me pause

135
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: with usc is and there's across the board, there's some

136
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: we'll talk about these in a couple of injuries, key

137
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: injuries across the board. That will impact a handful of

138
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: these games. With USC, Drew Peterson, their senior guard, really

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: important to their team. He's been dealing with a little

140
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: bit of a back issue and they say he's fine.

141
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: He was practicing when he went in his most recent

142
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: game on March ninth. He's gonna about a week to recover.

143
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: Here he went oh of seven from two. He didn't

144
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: look like everything was short, which would give me a

145
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: little pause for concern. But they say he's practicing. He

146
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: says he's going to be fine. Anything there if he's

147
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: not doesn't look great early.

148
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was. I was watching that and yeah, he

149
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 5: did not look like himself.

150
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 6: I was thinking the time off for the back would

151
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: be a huge It kind of would bring him back

152
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 6: to at least ninety percent honestly under the good look

153
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 6: if he's sort of hobbled because he has such an

154
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 6: important piece of that offense, I think his shot making,

155
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: his playmaking, but just his length even if he is

156
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 6: banged up, So if he is out, maybe a late

157
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 6: play on the under as a quasi hedge was where

158
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: I was thinking here.

159
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: Yep, Yeah, he's definitely someone to watch, and I think

160
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: Michigan State yeah, playing in the Big Ten. I know

161
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: it's a season worth of results, but their opponents in

162
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: Big ten play shot thirty percent from three and they

163
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: shot forty one and a half percent. I mean, that's

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: an enormous goal where you think that there's some potential

165
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: looming regression, which and some of those games they were

166
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: just making some tough shots. You saw that though a

167
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: little bit against Ohio State. Right, Ohio State went ten

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: of nineteen and Michigan State went three of sixteen. So

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: maybe that continues a bit for a team that just

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: that did get very fortunate.

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh Hannon, way outside launch the shot.

172
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: Impossible time it pays to stay in school.

173
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: Let's move on to our second game in the Midwest region.

174
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: This will be between Kennesall State and Xavier and Greensboro

175
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: twelve forty eastern on True TV. A tweet out the

176
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: other day it is True TV only exists for impractical joke.

177
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: Like they the board sits down the beginning of the

178
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: year and they're like, all right, here's our programming schedule,

179
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: impractical jokers every half hour. And then in March, we're

180
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: going to show the first round and the first four

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: of the NCAA tournament. So it's time to find where

182
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: true TV is. If you aren't a avid impractical jokers,

183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: watch here because this is a game that'll start on

184
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: True TV. Xavier to eleven and a half point favorite

185
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: over Kennisall State over under one hundred and fifty one.

186
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: I love Kenansall State here. I think they're being slept on.

187
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: And this is a very experienced team. I think there

188
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: were number one in the country in minutes continuity coming

189
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: into the year. It's a veteran team that's been through

190
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: the war with abdoor Rahem's doing one of the best

191
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: turnaround jobs of any program in recent history. The team

192
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: that won one game in his first year back in

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one game, and now they won the Atlantic

194
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: Sun Conference tournament and regular season. Atlantic Sun, by the way,

195
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: has done very well in the NCAA Tournament over the years.

196
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: But this team could score, which you need to do

197
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: against Xavier, and they have an excellent guard in Burton

198
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: who needs to get into the paint dribble penetration, which

199
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: I think he can do against the Xavier perimeter defense

200
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: that's a bit leaky, and no fremantle for Xavier, I

201
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: think lowers their offensive ceiling a bit and he would

202
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: have been a mismatch here. Knasall State will also mix

203
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 3: up defenses very well, which I think is important for

204
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: an opponent that you have more talent then but you're

205
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: not familiar with because Xavier won't be able to get

206
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: into a rhythm. They can keep Xavier on their toes.

207
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: Now you don't want to press Xavior. Zavior good ball handlers.

208
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: They rade out well against the press, but they actually

209
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: rate out poorly against zone this year, so you could

210
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: see Kenasall State their zone percentage. Regardless, they'll press little bit,

211
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: zone man, intro possession, really well coached team, veteran team

212
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: that can shoot, and I think that they're going to

213
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: be able to initiate their offense here via drible penetration

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: which you can get against Xavior. So I think Kennasall

215
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: State Profiles is a very good underdog in the NCAA Tournament.

216
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: I think they're live to potentially pull off a shaker

217
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: if you want to get a little crazy in your bracket.

218
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: And I'm really excited about this Friday show in particular

219
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: because I think that the thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen seeds

220
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: in particular have a lot more juice as far as

221
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: potentially pulling off and outright upset than the ones that

222
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: are playing on Thursday. So I think Kennasau State is

223
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: extremely live here. Matt, you endorsed this pick the Als.

224
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I picked them my bracket.

225
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 6: So I'm putting my money where my bracket mouth is,

226
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 6: I guess. But here's the one concern that I'll be

227
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 6: a little bit of Devil's advocates. I don't want to

228
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 6: have this entire slant to where Kennesaw average height Ken

229
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 6: Palm Xavier twenty sixth in the country, Kennesaw three thirty four.

230
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 6: Kennasau's got kind of, you know, bigger guards for the

231
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 6: a Sun, but Xavier has deceptively really long guards with

232
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 6: Jones Hunter at the fore position and then Desmond Claude

233
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 6: the freshman, He's got a lot more run lately. It's

234
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 6: actually been a big help to their defense. I'm still

235
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: with you. I don't trust this defense. I've watched them

236
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 6: up this year. It's where I think Kannessau can have

237
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 6: success if Xavier does you know, if they just play

238
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 6: straight up man, I think they can, you know, penetrate

239
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 6: gaps and kick out and make shots and if they're hot.

240
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 6: I mean, this is going to be a close game

241
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 6: the whole way through. But I do think I worry

242
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 6: that maybe you'll get five minutes into this you're watching

243
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 6: it's like man kennis, all just looks small. So that's

244
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 6: a slight concern that I worry I overlooked. But everything

245
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 6: else I think sets up really well.

246
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: I'm biased.

247
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 6: I watched the game against Indiana Assembly Hall where it

248
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 6: was tied. I think with ten to play, the game

249
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 6: ended up sort of ballooning at the end, and TJD

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 6: did not play in that game, so obviously you have

251
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 6: to put a little bit of an asterix on that. Still

252
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 6: that game and they played VC to three points. You know,

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: I think earlier in an MTE they can stand up

254
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 6: to the big boys to some degree. So I'm not

255
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 6: worried about the stuff up in class. I do worry

256
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 6: about just that size though, potentially being an issue for

257
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 6: our els, but I think their shot making gives them

258
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 6: a real chanceer.

259
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, very athletic team, and there's a lot of talent

260
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: veteran team you mentioned, like Dan. They went to VC,

261
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: you lost by three. I think Baloo didn't play in

262
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: that game. TJ didn't play in the idianogy, but you

263
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: know they played Florida within ten at Florida when they Castleton,

264
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: who went bananas. He had like thirty three points. But yeah,

265
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: it's a team. Everyone on the floor, besides Demon Robinson,

266
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: who's the you know, undersize five, he's six eighth.

267
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: They could shoot.

268
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: And this is a team that shot thirty seven percent,

269
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: which is the top thirty five rate in the country

270
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: from three, which is what you're looking for from an underdog.

271
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: They won't be afraid here, and I think they can

272
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: take care some of they can take advantage of some

273
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: of the issues that Xavier has on defense. So yeah,

274
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: I really like the als here. Think this could be

275
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: a potential thriller.

276
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: Oh they're talking. They'll discuss in the podcast. Try to

277
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 5: light the fire.

278
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: That's we want to The third game on Friday in

279
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: the South Region. This game we played in Denver, Colorado,

280
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: one thirty Eastern on TNT between Baylor and uc SB.

281
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: Baylor ten and a.

282
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: Half point favorite over under one forty three BJ. Let's

283
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: get you in here. What do you see here?

284
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: I do like you see.

285
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 7: Santa Barbara in this matchup because of how bad Baylor

286
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 7: has been defending at the rim this season, Like, they

287
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 7: don't allow a ton of shots at the rim, but

288
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 7: when the teams do get there, they're allowing seventy two

289
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: point six percent at their imper hoop math.

290
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 8: That's the highest percentage in the entire country.

291
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 7: You see, Santa Barbara is top forty five in terms

292
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 7: of their shot frequency at the rims. This is not

293
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 7: a great matchup for them. You see Santa Barbara also

294
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 7: gets the free throw line at a top seventy five rate. Well,

295
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 7: Baylor tends to struggle in that category. Defensively, Now, the

296
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 7: Baylor offense is really good, like their second and an

297
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 7: adjusted offensive efficiency per Kenpom. But if you look at

298
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 7: shot quality, they're two hundred and sixty eighth in points

299
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 7: possession and a half cartwell, Santa Barbera's thirtieth in the

300
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 7: country and points possession allowed in the half court. And

301
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 7: if you look at Baylor's last two losses against Iowa State,

302
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 7: it was kind of concerning their point distribution of how

303
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 7: it went down. They had eighteen points at the rim

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 7: total and nineteen points from the mid range total between

305
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 7: those two games. Basically everything was just completely reliant on

306
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 7: the three point line. Now UC Santa Barbara is a

307
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 7: halfway decent three point defense, like they're not, you know,

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 7: this elite three point defense that gives them a huge

309
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 7: advantage here. But this is a very experienced team as well,

310
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 7: like they are twenty third in the country in three

311
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 7: point rate allowed one hundred and fifth and three open

312
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 7: three point rde allowed.

313
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 8: So it's halfway decent three point defense.

314
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 7: And the concern here though for UC Santa Barbara is

315
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 7: that they haven't played a tough schedule, like they've played

316
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 7: a very very easy non conference schedule. The highest ranked

317
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 7: team on Ken Palm that they've played the season was

318
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 7: UC R Ryan, who's ninety ninth, and they split both

319
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 7: of those the meetings with them in the middle of

320
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 7: the season. Now, they do have a lot of talent

321
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 7: and transfer to some other bigger schools, like Pierre Luis

322
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 7: is transferring from Temple, Andre Kelly came over from cal

323
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 7: Miles Norris came over from Oregon. They have them without

324
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 7: a Jarre Souni for a long time now, which has

325
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 7: basically been their sixth man. They're three hundred and forty

326
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 7: third bench minutes, so not a lot of depth of

327
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 7: this team. But I like the amount of problems they

328
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 7: can present in Baylor, especially at the rim. So I

329
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 7: don't think they're actually gonna pull off the upset here,

330
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 7: but I think they will keep it close and eventually

331
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 7: run out of gas at the end.

332
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 8: So I do like them plus ten and a half.

333
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I played UCSP as well. I wouldn't be shocked

334
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: this is an upset. There's the teams that are like

335
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: higher seeds that have red flags. Those are the teams

336
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: that I'm looking to fade and maybe pick against in

337
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: my bracket. And Baylor's defense the red flag. They are

338
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 3: outside the top one hundred and adjust the defensive efficiency, especially.

339
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: You mentioned at the rim.

340
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: They rank per Hazleo Metrics three hundred and fifty ninth

341
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: in the country. A near proximity field goal percentage allowed

342
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: or as the average opponent, Santa Barbara's offense is thirty

343
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: first in that statistic. They are two point offense. They

344
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: thrive in the mid range.

345
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 4: They can get to the rim.

346
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 3: You mentioned some of their other talented players. They have

347
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: a pro prospect in their point guard aj Mitchell, who

348
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: is a tough shot maker. He's very player. I think

349
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna end up being a draft pick, maybe next

350
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: next draft.

351
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: He's great.

352
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: They run great offense under Pasternak. The concern is maybe

353
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Baylor goes together because their defense has been questionable. Yeah, Scott,

354
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: who has been known to throw out his zone here

355
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: they go zone against UCSP, hasn't been great against his own.

356
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: UCSP is not a heavy three point shooting team, but

357
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: so that that could be problematic. I also worry about

358
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: foul trouble. You mentioned the depth of trying to guard

359
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: those Bailor guards who have pedigree, and guards do play

360
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: in March, so that is a bit of a concern.

361
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: But UCSP veteran team. They got a point guard who

362
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: is really good, high major talent, well coached, and they

363
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: play slow. They're outside of the top three hundred and

364
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: adjusted tempo. That's kind of what you're looking for. And

365
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: they do run teams off the three point line, so

366
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: they which is a good thing against Bailor. You don't

367
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: want those Bailor guards to get hot. So I think

368
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: there's enough juice in the galchos here to hang aroundentally

369
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: pull off an upset. You want to play Devil's advocate

370
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: or you endorse here, Maddie.

371
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 6: I think I endorse However, a little concern that maybe

372
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: Baylor has just been kind of caught in the Big

373
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 6: twelve grinder and they're gonna come out here and yeah,

374
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: I know UCSP is a good defensive team, but you know,

375
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 6: playing UCSB after playing Texas and Iowa State and Kansas

376
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 6: might feel like playing a JV team. Just don't let

377
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 6: Baylor shoot threes, right Like I wouldn't back Baylor when

378
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 6: I'm laying points with the favorite. I don't like betting

379
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 6: on a team that I need to hit shots to cover.

380
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of what Baylor. That's where Baylor

381
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: falls on the spectrum. You know, it's a team that

382
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 6: can punish and get easy ones at the rim. However,

383
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 6: I do worry them.

384
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: Maybe I've under.

385
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: Sold Baylor because they've just gotten to this mental rut

386
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 6: being stuck in the Big twelve, you know, grinder, pressure

387
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 6: cooker or whatever. Now they get to play at uc Sambar,

388
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: I mean, good team, right, but not Texas, not Iowa State.

389
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 6: Maybe that talent kind of pops and explodes again, like

390
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 6: the version we all thought we were going to see

391
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 6: for most of the year and they just never quite

392
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 6: got there.

393
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: That's my concern. If you're back in UCSB here.

394
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's certainly possible. But they played Iowa State and

395
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: got blown out at home to close the regular season.

396
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: And then lost the rematch too, the rematch.

397
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: Five days later Tiwa State. It was not some juggernaut

398
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: and they gave up seventy three and seventy eight in

399
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: those games. So, yep, that was another red flave to me.

400
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: Something just seems off. Now. They could put it together

401
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: team that won the national title two years ago, and

402
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: they have the pedigree coaching and guards which plays in March.

403
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: But something just seems a little off. I think UCSP

404
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: can put up a fight here. All right, let's move

405
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 3: to the fourth game of the day, and it is

406
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: the start of the absolute bonanza in Albany.

407
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 5: I thought we were having steamed clams. No, no, I

408
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 5: said steamed hams.

409
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: That's what I go, hamburgers. It's a regional dialect. And

410
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: what region upstate New York. Well, I'm from.

411
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase steamed hand.

412
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 4: Oh not a Utica No, it's an Albany expression.

413
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: Albany just four amazing games which we'll cover today, the

414
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: first of which is between VCU and Saint Mary's two

415
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: pm Eastern on TBS. Mary's sitting in a four point

416
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 3: favorite here over under one twenty three. Fascinating like pace

417
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: and just style clash between these two teams, also on

418
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: opposite coast of the country. It's worth noting Saint Mary's

419
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: going across the Country's be eleven am local tip for

420
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: them and their bodies and how will they handle that

421
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: VCU pressure. Really fascinating X's and O's matchup. What do

422
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: you see here, Maddy?

423
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 6: The travel spot's huge. I was trying to find the weird,

424
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 6: odd situations like that.

425
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 5: This was the one that stuck out the most.

426
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 6: Now the inns Way has done better, I think in

427
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 6: recent years about not forcing teams that go cross country

428
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 6: to play on Thursday, so you at least get.

429
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 5: The Friday extra day off.

430
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 6: Still an early tip with the PST local clock going

431
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 6: to the east coast against this just dogged VCU defense

432
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 6: does not give me the warm and fuzzies.

433
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 5: If you're looking to back Saint Mary's. I love VCU here.

434
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 6: I think people have made too much over the fact

435
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 6: that they've run through a water down a ten team.

436
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: In general, I think people are overplaying that narrative with

437
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 6: the ACC as well. We talked about how the PAC

438
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: twelve so good in the tournament. Every year the PAC

439
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 6: twelve has been down except for like to the last decade,

440
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 6: look how they do in the tournament.

441
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: I think it's more about the style.

442
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: The ACC last year that it was down and then

443
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: they all did.

444
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: Well and they were awesome.

445
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 6: Big ten has always been good, but then once Big

446
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 6: ten doing the tournament right, So there's maybe something too

447
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: that zigging against the zag and the regular season versus

448
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: postseason as you turn the page. I'm not buying into that.

449
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 6: I'm just not like selling VCU because of that angle.

450
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 6: It's more about the fact that I think this is

451
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 6: a team of a bunch of adults.

452
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: Just gritty. I mean Saint Mary's is actual motto. I

453
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: mean Randy.

454
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 6: Bennett said so in the Almanac offseason. We are gritty

455
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 6: out pretty. But that's what VCU does better than any

456
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 6: team in the country. Like under Mic Rhoades, they're the ugliest,

457
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 6: most toughest, tenacious team.

458
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 5: There is Ace Baldwin.

459
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 6: The guys that they can put on Aiden Mahoney to

460
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 6: bother him with some physicality, kind of rough them off.

461
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 5: His line a little bit.

462
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 6: I think that's going to bother the Saint Mary's offense,

463
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 6: which we have seen go through long, long scoring droughts

464
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 6: against you know what Pedestrian WCC defenses. Was that ten

465
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 6: minute drought they went through against LMU the BYU come back.

466
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 6: I know they're up twenty five, so I don't want

467
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 6: to hold that against them, but still they're not immune

468
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: to scoring droughts, and VCU is a team that can

469
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: extend those scoring droughts for longer periods of time and

470
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 6: create more of them throughout the game. VCU's offense is

471
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 6: not always pretty either, but they can manufacture ports, a

472
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 6: lot of balance. Guys can get you from different angles.

473
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 6: I like the rams here. I hate faining Saint Mary's.

474
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 6: I wanted to back Saint Mary's. I was like, this

475
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 6: is a for sure, surefire Sweet sixteen team for me,

476
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 6: but just a tough matchup here.

477
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 5: I think VCU gets buy them.

478
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. We saw Saint mary struggle with the press against

479
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 3: good Zaga and against EYU. I think there's a lot

480
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: of their bigs aren't great, Like you need help, your

481
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: guards need help when you're trying to break a press

482
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: in traps and on the other side just funnels you

483
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 3: into mid range shots. They take away the three. They're

484
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: great at the rim acet Baldwin can really get going

485
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: and cooking for the middid that's going to be a key.

486
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, I think I trust Raddy Bettett to

487
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: prevail here. I think he's one of the best coaches

488
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: in the country. But taking the points here in a game,

489
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: by the way, with a total of one pointy three,

490
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: so points at a premium, So looking at the dog

491
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: might not be a bad takej who you haven't advance

492
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 3: in your bracket here between VC and Marys.

493
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 7: I have Saint Mary's advancing, But I think this game

494
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 7: is honestly a fascinating live betting opportunity, especially with the

495
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: pressure that VC you can give them.

496
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 8: You know, you mentioned the games against ZAG and BYU.

497
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 7: If you look at Synergy, you know Saint Mary's is

498
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 7: good versus the press, especially in transition. But when you

499
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 7: get into the half court, they're in the thirty percentile

500
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 7: perc energy and points for possessions. So if Saint Mary's

501
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 7: is coming out and they're just shot making is outrageous

502
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 7: like it has been, you know in certain games throughout

503
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 7: this season. Matt brought up the you know, the game

504
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 7: against UC San Diego, which are against excuse me, San Diego,

505
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 7: that they went through a ten minute scoring drought against

506
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 7: one of the worst defenses in the entire country. That

507
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 7: is a good opportunity to maybe get in live on VCUS.

508
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 7: So I'll probably be looking to play VCU live, especially

509
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 7: when the pressure starts mounting and if Saint Mary's is

510
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 7: making shots. But yeah, it'll be interesting to see what

511
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 7: what happens to the same areas if they succumb to

512
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 7: the pressure early and they suddenly have to play from

513
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 7: behind and pick up the tempo. It's gonna be, like

514
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 7: you mention off the top, it's a fascinating tempo clash

515
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 7: between these two teams.

516
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good point. I agree vs would

517
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 3: be worth because of their pressing style. They would be worth.

518
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 4: A live look.

519
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: And Saint Mary's goes through just like long scoring droughts.

520
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: They seem to like get way ahead and then just

521
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: try to run out the clock like that's that's like

522
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: they they were up fifty six to thirty on BYU

523
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: and then that game got like within one possession late.

524
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned the San Diego game, they're up fifty eight

525
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: to thirty five. They won by three. I mean, it's

526
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: just a constant theme with them, and Vs's gonna keep

527
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: coming at you with the pressure of the tournament. Once

528
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: like a pressing team starts turning you over and then

529
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: it just mounts.

530
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: You see it all the time.

531
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: So if VC is down big, they're gonna keep coming,

532
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, I think that they might be worth

533
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: a live Look.

534
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 8: He plays the bed.

535
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 4: He felt good about him.

536
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: All right, Let's move on to the second game in

537
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: the East Region between Vermont and Marquette. This game will

538
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: also be in Columbus two forty five Eastern on CBS.

539
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: Marquet's eleven point favorite over under and a half. I

540
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: don't really like a lot of the big dogs on Thursday.

541
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: I like a lot of the big dogs on Friday.

542
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: I mentioned Kennasaw, I mentioned UCSB, And I think Vermont

543
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 3: is very live, a dangerous, dangerous fifteen seed because they

544
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: well coached, a lot of ball handles, which you need

545
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 3: against Marquette, a lot of shooters, and they play slow.

546
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: They're not gonna turn over, They're not gonna beat themselves.

547
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: Marquette also probably a three seed. If Yukon can make

548
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 3: it open three last week, so like they're on the

549
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: you know, the bottom, the fringe of the two. It's

550
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: not like to the top two. And I think Vermont

551
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: profile is more like a fourteen. There's a very dangerous

552
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: fifteen seed. But the way that they play, they're gonna

553
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: slow the game up, not be themselves. Marquette's also a

554
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: team of energy throughout their Shaka Smart is Mike, Tom

555
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: and raw Ra his teams, and in the underdog role,

556
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: they thrive, They come out and they just place with

557
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: so much energy and to win. Shaka Smart over the

558
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: past twenty years the second most profitable coach against the

559
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 3: spread as an underdog only Tim Floyd, who was insane

560
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 3: against the numbers. A dog was more profitable. But Shocka

561
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: is a favorite. So he's sixty one percent against the

562
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: spread as a dog, which is ridiculous, ninety two and

563
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: fifty nine and three against the spread as a favorite,

564
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: one thirty four one fifty six forty six point two

565
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: percent as a double digit favorite, forty three, sixty three

566
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: and two forty point six percent out of about one

567
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: hundred eight hundred and fifty coaches in our Action Laps

568
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: database says two thousand and five, he's the fourth least

569
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: profitable as a double digit favorite. A lot of parallels

570
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: to Mike tom on his team's success as a dog

571
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 3: bad as a big favor. So maybe they don't have

572
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: that same energy that they I don't see NCAA tournament,

573
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: but they just won't come out with that same intensity

574
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 3: at first. I think eventually they'll turn it on. They're

575
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 3: gonna prevail here. I worry a bit about their pick

576
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 3: and roll coverage against Tyler Kolloch. But the biggest weakness

577
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 3: of Vermont is their post defense. Horrific post y. Marqutte

578
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: doesn't run any offense to the post. So yeah, I

579
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: think Vermont can hang here. They're making shots. They can

580
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: put a scare into Marquette. I like the cats here.

581
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: If you want to get crazy, I think this is

582
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 3: the fifteen seed to pick, Maddie. You agree or disagree?

583
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, partial agreement. I'll just ride the fence here. The

584
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 6: issue for me is Vermont's talent pool relative to the

585
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 6: teams John Becker has had in the past. I think

586
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: this is actually his least talented team he's had. Of

587
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 6: the five tournament appearances, he's three and two against the

588
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 6: number in the tournament since set in two thousand and seven.

589
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: I think you're only five times he's made it. It's

590
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 6: a well coach team, no doubt about that. I just

591
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 6: don't think there's a there's no Anthony Lamb walking through

592
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 6: that door. There's not like a guy that can get

593
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 6: you a bucket. I your execution falls short. And I

594
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 6: still think the preparation, even though it's a great coach

595
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 6: with and Becker, the preparation to Marquett's offense is such

596
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: a tough nut to crack. Like Marquette was basically, you know,

597
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 6: as a rocket ship. The only time they leveled off

598
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 6: in the season was when they kind of hit that

599
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 6: late season mini swoon teams in the Biggie sawm a

600
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 6: second time. They kind of adjusted to what they do,

601
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 6: and they're so unique on both.

602
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 5: Ends with their bigs being inverted.

603
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 6: Even for a good team like Vermont with the time

604
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 6: to prepare, I think it takes them time to get

605
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 6: used to that. And once you're down ten to fifteen

606
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 6: and it's Marquette, I don't I think it's lights out.

607
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: So that's my concern. But yeah, back in Vermont in

608
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 6: the tournament under John Becker is never a bad investment.

609
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: Some of the times where Marquette struggled though, Like like

610
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: I said, was you know, they just come out.

611
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: A little flat, don't one.

612
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: You agree that they're energy based like you saw, and

613
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: then once they get going, yeah, a rocket ship. But

614
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: like you know, they were trailing at the half against Georgetown,

615
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: they almost lost to Saint John's a couple of times.

616
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: There's just some games where it's like, oh, they didn't

617
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: really come out with but then they're a underdog and

618
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: they come out right from the start and they're so

619
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: intense and that's when they're great, which is why they

620
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: can get by. Like these games are we're supposed to win.

621
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna be a really dangerous dark horse, but I

622
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: think it'll.

623
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 4: Be an intriguing gamer.

624
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: Right there's a big talent and athletic mismatch here, so

625
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: Vermont can't let this get away. Now, Look, Marquette force

626
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: the titter, turnovers, pressure of shot that is mart Vermont

627
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: does have a lot of ball handlers and they do

628
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 3: take care of the ball, which is which is really important.

629
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: If you don't have that, they would have gotten run

630
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: out of the gym. And I'm assuming they're going to

631
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: try and slow this down. But like I said, the

632
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: key is like the first ten minutes of this game,

633
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: you gotta stay in it to have a shot. All right,

634
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: Let's move on to our The sixth game of the

635
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: day will be Iowa State against whoever wins that pit

636
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: misstate mess. Make sure you check out xork dot com

637
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: and the action cap before a preview of whatever that

638
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: matchup ends up being.

639
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Charmers for the time unbelievable.

640
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the later in the afternoon. NC

641
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: State Creighton in the South Regions game we played in Denver,

642
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: four pm Eastern on TMT Creighton five and a half

643
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: point favorite over under one forty eight and a half.

644
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: I think you guys disagree on this game, DJUI Creighton.

645
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 8: Here I do.

646
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 7: I think there's a couple of matchup problems that they

647
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 7: can present for nc STY. Like, first off, Crayton is

648
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 7: a very efficient offense, like their top thirty adjust offensive efficiency.

649
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 7: They're incredible at scoring in just about every type of

650
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 7: offensive set, which makes them a very very dangerous team.

651
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 7: And that's this type of tournament when you're facing so

652
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 7: many different defenses. But they're also ninety third in press

653
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 7: offense percentergy which will come in handinggain since the State

654
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 7: elects to.

655
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 8: Press a lot, and I mean the Creighton offense.

656
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 7: You know, the Wolfpack are very average at defending the

657
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 7: three point line one hundred and nineteth and catch and

658
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 7: defending catch and shoot three pointers two hundred and seventeenth,

659
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 7: infending off trible three point shoot shots, and then two

660
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy eight in open three point loud. That's

661
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 7: not a good recipe when you're going to being shooters

662
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 7: like Shyerman Nempard and Trey Alexander. Then on the defensive

663
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 7: side of the ball, Creton's actually been really really good

664
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 7: this season fifteenth and adjust the defensive efficiency. See they're

665
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 7: very good at protecting the rim twelfth and two point

666
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 7: field fer percentage allowed eleventh in points possession allowed at

667
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 7: the rim per shack wall. The NC State was dead

668
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 7: last in the ACC and points for posessional in the

669
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 7: half court on offense in conference play, which was the

670
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 7: eighth most difficult conference in the country the season. Obviously,

671
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 7: the SCC being way down, and what you're gonna get

672
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 7: from NC State is a lot of mid range jumpers.

673
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 7: A lost a lot of post upsets which could be

674
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 7: to their advantage because Creighton does struggle there defensively, but

675
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays are thirteenth in defensive rebounding percentage, almost

676
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 7: never allowed teams to get to the free throw line.

677
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 7: In NC State, it's thirty second highest frequency transition team

678
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 7: in the country, while Creating his top twenty in defending

679
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 7: in transition. So I think this is a pretty good

680
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 7: matchup here for Creating with the amount of shooters they have,

681
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 7: how good they are defensively, an NC State team that

682
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 7: I really just don't trust our offense, so and also

683
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 7: Creating's ability to break the press, I think is gonna

684
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 7: be big in this one.

685
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 8: So I do like the Blue Jays minus five.

686
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 7: And a half, and I parlayed them on the money

687
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 7: line with San Diego State here in the first round.

688
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean NC State press is about a third

689
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: of the time ont of the highest rates in the field.

690
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: I think I have to use number one a fifty

691
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: two percent, that's their number one in the country, but

692
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: create ninety nine percentile press offense. You can't really press them.

693
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: They have ball handlers, and yeah, I find I find

694
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: it hard to see NC State getting many stops here.

695
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: A gets created a SNC State team that won zero

696
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 3: games away from home, neutral or away against a tournament team.

697
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: You know, you do have Turquavian Smith, who could go

698
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: bananas if he's hot. He's really hot. And you have

699
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: DJ Burns, who on the low block would potentially bring

700
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: give Calkwriter some issues. He actually is poor in post

701
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: up defense, so they're not gonna be able to move

702
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: him around. But maybe Burns gonna have a big day

703
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: inside and Smith goes bananas from the outside. Maddie, I

704
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: think you like the dog here?

705
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: Why the wolf back?

706
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've actually been okay in neutral sites this year.

707
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 6: They played Kansas competitively be dained by twelve the boll Sorry,

708
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 6: Butler is not a good team by fifteen. Though in

709
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 6: b Vandeno Vandy was not the same team we sell

710
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 6: down the stretch. It still beat them by four, So

711
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 6: I'm not overly concerned by that. I'm more concerned about

712
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 6: their trail situation going out west to altitude. Keats talked

713
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 6: about that with the media locals there on Monday morning.

714
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 6: He was hoping they would fly out that night Sunday night.

715
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 6: But I think they're still trying to get out there,

716
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 6: so I where that could be a little bit of

717
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 6: a travel disadvantage for the pack, another point in the

718
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 6: favor for Creighton. But I'm just keying in on the

719
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 6: shot making ability of Joiner and Smith being a great

720
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 6: kryptonite for Creighton's defense, which is heavily reliant on drop

721
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 6: with cal Printer. I think you look at the Clemson

722
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 6: matchup as the way to beat NC State right tenage

723
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 6: to completely wax them three times. They get into every

724
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 6: gap and they kind of wall off those drives and

725
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 6: they force, you know, they kind of disrupt the rhythm

726
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 6: of those guards. That's not really what Crayton does. It's

727
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 6: a little bit different of a scheme with cal Printers

728
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 6: being kind of the anchor there. So I think that's

729
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 6: a big concern if you're backing Crayighton here. But I

730
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 6: think that travel thing I just brought up, I'm trying

731
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 6: to track that closely as it leads up to tip time.

732
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 6: Maybe gets more information about that, But that is a

733
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 6: kind of an ominous start to the fact for a

734
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 6: team that has not one on the road. Now you

735
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 6: have to go across country play at altitude. Not exactly

736
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 6: a great a great situation.

737
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Creighton does do a good job of

738
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: taking away the three tenth I mean ninth in the

739
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 3: country and three point temporary out. But Smith, if he's hot,

740
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: he's hot. I would prefer Creighton here. But I will

741
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 3: say that this game does have a lot of variants

742
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: which would work in the favor of an underdog in

743
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: the tournament, Creton, because you have like Ken Smith get

744
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: red hot, and then you have a Creton team to

745
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: shoots a lot of threes and it seems like they're

746
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: either really hot or they're not and they're off right,

747
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 3: So like, are the threes falling for Creighton?

748
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 4: And is Smith hot?

749
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 3: Those factors kind of increase the variants in this game.

750
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 6: And for that reason, I like, I didn't pick, and

751
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 6: he's stating it's the spread. I did take the money

752
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 6: line small, and I took them in my bracket, right,

753
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 6: You're right. The variance I think plays well if you're

754
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 6: looking for a moneyline angle, but I don't think.

755
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 5: A spread bet is as wise. I guess that makes sense.

756
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Yep, one of the all time suppers, Levi High defeats

757
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: two in the NCAA basketball tournament.

758
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to our eighth game of

759
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 3: the day between Iona and Yukon This is part of

760
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: the Albany Bonanza in the West. It's the West region, right,

761
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 3: all these things in the West Region. You're playing at Albany,

762
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: and it makes no sense to me.

763
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: No, it's an Albany expression.

764
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: You cause a nine point favorite here over under one

765
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: forty three and a half. It's four thirty pm Eastern

766
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: on TBS. Fascinating match up here. Iona has a puncher's

767
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: chance just because they have good guards and they have

768
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 3: a really good coach. Iona, just like every Patino team

769
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 3: is known for pressing and trapping, they're gonna pressure you.

770
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: Yukon has had turnover issues this year and they great

771
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: out just right around average against the press this year,

772
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 3: but they're two hundred and thirty fourth in the country

773
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: in turnover percentage. So can Iona force them into turnovers

774
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 3: and then get easy buckets And that's really how an

775
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 3: underdog can get.

776
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 4: The juice, so to speak.

777
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 3: Now, Iona does a kble three point shooters, but Yukon

778
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: is an elite three point defense.

779
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: You could say, in a way, Iona got screwed here. Yukon.

780
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: This is the region of death in the in the West.

781
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: Yukon is arguably a top ten team and they're a

782
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: four seed in a region that has five top ten teams,

783
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 3: five top eleven teams in kempom all in it, then

784
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: TCUs arguably be a top fifteen team when healthy, Arkansas

785
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: arguably a top twenty five team. Help wise, like this

786
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: region is it just talent lies for Arkansas Illinois? Also,

787
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: it's like this region is ridiculous. Uh so, can I

788
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: own A and their guards? Patino? The pressure cause enough

789
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: issues for Yukon or does Yukon's size this is gonna

790
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: be a problem here? Is that the trump card and

791
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: I eventually pull away?

792
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 9: Here?

793
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 4: What do you see here? In pretty fascinating matchup?

794
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I kind of I made I made the swingers

795
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 6: Jon Favreau Mikey comparison, yukond of feels like like Mikey

796
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 6: and and swing it like just so often they have

797
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 6: the weapons, they just don't really like unleash them.

798
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 5: It's just very frustrating.

799
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 6: Now the last few weeks of the year, we've seen

800
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 6: them kind of flip that switch back right after that

801
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: midseason swoon. It's been a tale of three chapters for

802
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 6: the Huskies. Do I have concerns about the Hurley versus

803
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 6: Patino angle?

804
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 5: Yeah?

805
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 9: I do?

806
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 6: You look at the data though, I mean Patino's eighteen

807
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 6: and fifteen against the spread in the tournament lifetime, Like,

808
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 6: it's not like he's you know, twenty five and five.

809
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 5: It's not like an auto bet. I do think he's

810
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 5: a coaching advantage.

811
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 6: I think he can make Yukon play in the half

812
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 6: court and turn this into kind of an uglier slog,

813
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 6: you know, just a lower possessions give them a puncher

814
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 6: chance to win. But even with the potential coaching thismatch,

815
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 6: I just think there's so much firepower, size, speed, athleticism

816
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 6: talent on Yukon that really can't mess this up, and

817
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 6: not even Patino can counter it. I think both teams

818
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: kind of got screwed. I mean you look at how

819
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 6: well Iona's been playing down the stretch. I mean they're

820
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 6: bart Torvik splits since February first. You know, peg them

821
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 6: is like a top thirty team, but they're Beatena MAAC

822
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 6: teams by margin, right, I mean you kind of was

823
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 6: beaten biggiest teams by margin. If they make a shot

824
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 6: against Marquette, I think we're talking about a team that's like.

825
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 5: A three to two seed.

826
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 6: They march on and the entire narrative around this team

827
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 6: is different, so I think it's actually a blessing in

828
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 6: disguise for Yukon to kind of have that reset, you know,

829
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 6: maybe you know, light a fire under them. You get

830
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 6: a whole week off to rest and prepare for Iona. Yeah,

831
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 6: it feels foolish to go against Patino in this coaching

832
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 6: this match, but I am going to lay out with Yukon.

833
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: Good stuff there. By the way, the ninth game of

834
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: the day, we don't know the matchup. It's the sixteen

835
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: seed winner between FDU and Texas Southern. Texas Southern, by

836
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: the way, they were I think the only finished like

837
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: twelve and twenty two. But this is a team that

838
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 3: won it won the Comfort Tournament last year, made the tournament,

839
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: and they weren't dealing with injuries throughout the year, so

840
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: they're better than their record indicates. But if FDU gets

841
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: by Texas Southern, I mentioned press is at the highest

842
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 3: rate in the country, so maybe that works in produced favor.

843
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: You get like a practice against the press, you you

844
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: know before the pressure that FAU and especially Memphis is

845
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 3: gonna put on you. So that's something to keep an

846
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 3: eye on that. If Purdue gets FDU. FDU's their only shot.

847
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 3: They're gonna press the whole game. They can't get into

848
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: a half court and have Eady dunk on them every possession.

849
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 3: So we'll see if that helps Purdue in a way.

850
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 3: Is getting to see a press and practicing against it

851
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 3: against a team that presses more than any team in

852
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: the country, then pore we go any further. As a reminder,

886
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: of the day between Providence and my Kentucky Wildcats.

887
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 4: I'll be at the.

888

Speaker 3: if you're in town, message me on Twitter. I'll buy

890
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: drinks all night. Gives a seven pm Eastern on CBS.

891
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: Kentucky's a four point favorite over under one forty five.

892
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 3: Game is in Greensboro of the East Region. I have

893
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 3: no idea what to expect from Kentucky. They're way too inconsistent.

894
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 3: Wouldn't surprise me to see them make a rund of

895
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 3: the four. Wouldn't surprise me to see them lose this

896
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 3: game by thirty. I really have no idea. Ed Cooley's

897
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 3: been great as a dog. Bryce Hopkins revenge game, who knows.

898
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 4: I have no idea. What's going to happen to Yain?

899
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 4: I'm not betting it be Jay? You have a take?

900
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 4: Who do you like?

901
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 6: Yeah?

902
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 7: I think this potentially sets up for kind of a

903
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 7: rock fight between these two teams. You know, obviously everything's

904
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 7: goning made out with the Bryce Hopkins revenge game. But

905
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 7: first off, I mean, both these defenses have not been

906
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 7: good this season. Overall, they're both outside the top seventy

907
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 7: and adjusted defensive efficiency, and both offenses are inside the

908
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 7: top twenty andjusted offensive efficiency. But let's first start with Kentucky.

909
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 7: I mean, how do you stop Kentucky. You gotta stop

910
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 7: sheway down Loan. You got to be able to defend

911
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 7: mid range jumpers because Kentucky doesn't really take any three pointers.

912
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 7: Providence is sixty fourth in the country and points for

913
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 7: possession allowed at the rim, They were a third in

914
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 7: the Big East and defending mid range jumpers on an

915
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,479
Speaker 7: on thirty six percent. In conference play, Kentucky has twenty

916
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 7: nine percent of their shots coming from the mid range

917
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 7: and forty percent coming at the rim. Kentucky has also

918
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 7: the second highest offensive rebounding percentage in the country. Providence

919
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 7: is ninety sixth overall in defensive rebounding percentage despite being

920
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 7: two hundred and seventy seventh to n average heights, so that

921
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 7: could be a hindrance to them. But Providence, much like Kentucky,

922
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 7: needs to get to the rim to be successful. Seventy

923
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 7: fourth highest frequency and shot attempts to the rim, their

924
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 7: top twenty offensive rebounding team, but Kentucky only allowing fifty

925
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 7: six percent on.

926
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 8: Shots at the rim this season.

927
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 7: Obviously, she Way is very very good at defending around there,

928
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 7: and they also Kentucky defended in the half court very

929
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 7: very well, which I'm guessing this game is going to

930
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 7: be played mostly in twenty second points possession A lout

931
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 7: in the country and Providence listen, I mean, yes, the

932
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 7: Skins get played in the half court.

933
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 8: Both teams do like to get out and run a

934
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 8: little bit.

935
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 7: But the tempo clash, I mean, Providence was one hundred

936
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 7: and ninety fifth in adjusted tempo and Kentucky is outside

937
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 7: the top two to fifty. So for the tempo not

938
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 7: really being this fast transition type paced game for two

939
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 7: teams that can defend at the rim, I think it

940
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 7: sends up for a little bit of a slog a

941
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 7: little bit more of a rock fight. Despite these two

942
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 7: defenses not being grading out that well over the season,

943
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 7: so I like under one hundred and forty five and

944
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 7: a half points, I think it ends up being a

945
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 7: a little more low scoring game than expected.

946
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 4: I like that.

947
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: On the surface, I'm like, well, both these defenses have struggled.

948
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's rocks out analysis there, Matt. What are

949
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 3: you see in here? Between Providence and Kentucky? Helped guide

950
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 3: me because I have no idea.

951
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm kind of search on this one as well.

952
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 6: The one angle I did read about, it's not just

953
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 6: the Bryce Hopkins revenge angle. It's kind of like an

954
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 6: SEC revenge against Kentucky angle. You have Devin Carter and

955
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 6: Noah Locke, two former SEC dudes. Carter at South Carolina,

956
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 6: Lock at Florida. They've all played Kentucky. They've all had

957
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 6: Kentucky on their you know, Bolton board with the cross

958
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 6: in their crosshairs. I think kind of a team that

959
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 6: can galvanize around that, like around these narratives. Which what

960
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 6: better team, slash program, slash coach does that better than Koley?

961
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 5: Right?

962
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: Look how they did that last year with the Provinces.

963
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 6: The luckiest team always has the horseshoe up the you

964
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 6: know where the sun don't shine. I think the Hopkins

965
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 6: thing is actually exactly the fuweldest team needs. I don't

966
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 6: like buying intose nertives usually but this is certainly one

967
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 6: We're all make an exception at Cooley as a dog.

968
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 6: The stats are, you know, off the charts good and

969
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 6: I don't know. I just think this Kentucky thing had

970
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 6: some signs of resurging, but it wasn't enough to convince

971
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 6: me that they have this deep run in them. Unlike Duke,

972
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 6: who I'm buying into the blue blood with the deep

973
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 6: run potential, Kentucky, I just don't see. And I'm not

974
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 6: even a big Providence fan to be honest, but I

975
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 6: do think this is a tough matchup and I do

976
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 6: like the uh this the talent boon they have this

977
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 6: season relative to last year, the Hopkins at the forefront.

978
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 4: Plae, Kentucky. Just win this game Sunday.

979
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 8: I'll say this thug about Kentucky. I think if they

980
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 8: win this game, like they could.

981
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 7: Go all the way to the Elite eight, or they

982
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 7: could lose this game to Kentucky Elite eight.

983
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:37,959
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm free stuck.

984
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 8: You can deserve it after last.

985
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: At least at least one weekend night, and so that

986
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: would be a zoo And yeah, if they get to

987
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 3: the next weekend, that'd be awesome. But yeah, Kentucky's definitely dangerous,

988
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: but they could nothin. Every time they show signs of life,

989
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: then it's like they could lose easily to Vandy. It's

990
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 3: lose to South Carolina at home. Like there's some troubling

991
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: results for this team. All right, let's move on to

992
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: the second game of the night's slate between Drake and Miami.

993
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 3: Miami has it right now is a two point favorite

994
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: over Under one forty six and a half. It's the

995
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: Midwest Region in the All Buty Bananza seven twenty five

996
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: pm Eastern TBS. I love Drake played them as a dog.

997
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 3: I would, and look there's there there if you books

998
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: since February first. Gotta tweak their offense. They're top twenty

999
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: five team in overall adjusted official the veteran team. They

1000
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 3: don't really have any weakness. Is like if you look

1001
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: at their half court offense, pert energy, it's like ninety

1002
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: percentile against man, ninety percent against press, ninety percentile.

1003
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: Like everything they do is just rocks out.

1004
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: The one week the stab is like Brody's like these

1005
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 3: they're big man. Brody's like two eighty five. He's like

1006
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: big big man, So like you can if you can

1007
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 3: move him around right like they grate out really poorly

1008
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 3: against the rollman and pick and roll, and if you

1009
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 3: can move him around, you have a big who can shoot.

1010
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 3: So theoretically, north Chadomeir could give him some issues, but

1011
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 3: he's not fully healthy. I don't think he's gonna play,

1012
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 3: but I have no idea, but he's not. He was like,

1013
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 3: you gotta ge carry off the court this past weekend

1014
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: if he tries, but he's not gonna be at one

1015
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: hundred percent. He is so important to everything Miami does.

1016
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 3: He's really like they're only real rebounder, I should say,

1017
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 3: and he's their only big who has any juice like

1018
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: they have You're you're down to Anthony Walker or aj Casey.

1019
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 3: They stink and that's who. Like, the replacement level drop

1020
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: off is huge. It's like three to four points. I

1021
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: make Drake three and a half point favorites here if

1022
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 3: Omir doesn't play, and I think it's close to a

1023
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 3: coin flip. If he does, maybe Drake a small favorite

1024
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 3: if he's hobbled and my I mean, look, they're well coached,

1025
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: they have the guards, but which does play march You

1026
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 3: saw that last year. But their defense is bad. Omeir

1027
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 3: is banged up. Miami does thrive in transition with those guards. Well,

1028
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: Drake doesn't let you get in transition. They don't go

1029
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 3: after any offensive rebounds. They get back when they do

1030
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 3: defendant transition again or s energy. They're elite, but they're

1031
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 3: I think the tenth percentile in allowing transition opportunities because

1032
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: if you look at Drake, they are three hundred and

1033
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: tenth in the country and offensive rebound rate that's by design,

1034
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: and they don't let you get out in transition.

1035
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 4: So I really like Drake here.

1036
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 3: It experienced veteran team peaking at the right time against

1037
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 3: Miami team that has a red flag on defense, a

1038
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 3: major injury question for a team that only goes six

1039
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: deep to begin with. I think Drake, this is this

1040
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 3: is vibes of I think it'll be a close game.

1041
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 4: This gives me.

1042
00:49:54,040 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 3: Similar vibes to Miami again against Loyola Chicago, another Valley

1043
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 3: team back in God, how long ago is that twenty

1044
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 3: eighteen LA team Loyola Chicago won on a buzzer beater

1045
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 3: and then made that giant run. I wouldn't be shocked

1046
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 3: if Drake made a big run. For what it's worth,

1047
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: Valley teams have been amazing against the spread in the tournament.

1048
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 3: They are the second most profitable team of the past

1049
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: ten years. By the PAC twelve, they're twenty twelve and

1050
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: one against the spread of the past ten years.

1051
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 4: Love me some Drake here, Maddy agree.

1052
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 6: Hard degree the you bring up the Darnell Brody conundrum.

1053
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 6: I was saying about this quite a bit. Part of

1054
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 6: me is like, Okay, if Omeer is banged up or

1055
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 6: not playing, that's where they can really punish Miami inside.

1056
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 5: But you also, I.

1057
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 6: Think bring up the better point, which is they can

1058
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 6: be exposed defensively with Brody as kind of lumbering paint

1059
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 6: plotting type of big You bring up that Loyole example,

1060
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 6: I think they should replicate that blueprint. Right, you play

1061
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 6: Tucker Devrees up to five or Sudar Calhoun at the five,

1062
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 6: Miami's not going to score inside. Again, she that looks

1063
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 6: really small, But I mean they're five best players. You

1064
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 6: could r r Devrees, pen Calhoun, Sturts and Wilkins, which

1065
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 6: is a small ball type lineup kind of replicate the

1066
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 6: interchangeability that Loyola did to Miami back then. And Drake's

1067
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 6: done that a little bit this season. So yeah, It's

1068
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 6: fascinating to see how Devrez manages the Brody angle, especially

1069
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 6: given the brittle front line that Miami will be dealing with.

1070
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 5: I wore he's going to be too obsessed with pounding inside. Sometimes.

1071
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 5: Brodie's not exactly a great finisher. He can be kind

1072
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 5: of frustrating.

1073
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 6: He's not a good free throw shoot either, So I

1074
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 6: want to see them use the collection of wing and

1075
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 6: guard assets and not force feed Brody.

1076
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 5: That's my one.

1077
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 6: If if Derez calls me up, which I'm sure he won't,

1078
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 6: but if he does, I'll answer and I'll tell him, Hey,

1079
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 6: you know, put Brody on the back burner, goes small,

1080
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 6: let your guards and wings do their thing.

1081
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 5: I think you guys advanced.

1082
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, oh meer.

1083
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: By the way, it's like he's top thirty five in

1084
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 3: the country, but offensive end, defensive rebounding rates. His first

1099
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 7: SAYING a couple of Points i'll add on to it

1100
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 7: is you, Know drake is the eighteenth highest frequency team

1101
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 7: in the country in mid range, jumpers which is Something

1102
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 7: miami has really really struggled defending this. Season AND i

1103
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 7: mean you mentioned With, OMIER i mean the top thirty

1104
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 7: five in bolth offensive and defensive rebound. Center that Leaves

1105
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 7: miami being a complete liability on the. Boards and only

1106
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 7: that just his sheer, SIZE i, mean sitting at about

1107
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 7: two hundred and fifty, POUNDS i, Mean, brody but they

1108
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 7: decided to play him on the.

1109
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 8: QUARTERNINE i mean he's he's six, eleven two seventy. Five

1110
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 8: they have. Nobody yeah he's. Huge, yeah, no even close

1111
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 8: to that amount of size to guard him down. Low

1112
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 8: so that's a big.

1113
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 7: Problem and you, like even if he does, play he's

1114
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 7: gonna be at least somewhat, hampered so that Gift drake

1115
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 7: Gives drake a big time. Advantage And drake is also

1116
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 7: top one hundred freaks a team in ball, screens and

1117
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 7: that's Something miami has also really really struggled defending this.

1118
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 7: Season so this is a slam Dunk drake spot absolutely

1119
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 7: love my Hometown Drake bulldogs to get through here Against.

1120
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 8: Miami you know you got a?

1121
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 2: Foul it's, god, yes, believable what? Okay.

1122
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 3: Honest let's move on to the final game of the

1123
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 3: early night slate Between Grand canyon And. Gonzaga zaga is

1124
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 3: a fifteen and a half point favorite over under one fifty.

1125
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 3: Six it's The West region In, denver seven thirty Five

1126
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 3: eastern On TRUE. Tv Look Grand. CANYON i think they

1127
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 3: were the most profitable over team in the country this.

1128
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 4: Year they can.

1129
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 3: Score they have a electric guard In Ray harrison who

1130
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 3: transferred from A. Presbyterian they're coming off a weekend where

1131
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 3: they could not miss from. Three, However gonzaga's biggest weakness

1132
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: is on. Defense are in transition and at the. Rim

1133
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 3: that's and they've been pretty good defending pick and. Roll

1134
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 3: they've been pretty good on the, perimeter just Where Grand

1135
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 3: canyon wants to make its Hay, so But Ken Grand

1136
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: canyon take advantage of A gonzaga defense that has, holes

1137
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 3: because in the other, end it's hard to Imagine Grand

1138
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 3: canyon getting many stops against the number one offense in

1139
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 3: terms of adjusted efficiency.

1140
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 4: In all of college.

1141
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 3: Basketball gonzaga should also eat on the offensive.

1142
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 4: Glass so it's just a.

1143
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 3: Matter, of you, Know Greg, cannon if they're making, threes

1144
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 3: which is what can you, know it's a great. Equalizer

1145
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 3: if they're just red hot And harrison goes for, forty

1146
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 3: they they potentially could win this, game but they need

1147
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 3: to win it like ninety six to ninety, Five like

1148
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: that's their only path to win in this game is

1149
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 3: they just Can't you can't, miss and they did that

1150
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 3: in some games like that championship game in the whack

1151
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 3: five they didn't miss from. Three that's what they're gonna

1152
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 3: need to do. Again it's hard to envision many. Stops,

1153
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 3: mattie what do you see?

1154
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 6: Here, YEAH i Took Grand canyon and it's simply a

1155
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 6: bet on the. Coach What Bryce shrew has done this

1156
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 6: year has been nothing short of. Spectacular they best player

1157
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 6: Preseason player of The, Year Big one Or Whack player

1158
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 6: of The Year Javon, blackshear and they just, Basically, okay

1159
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 6: we're gonna Have Ray harrison for A presbyterian transfer of all.

1160
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 6: Players you're going to come in and be our focal.

1161
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 6: Point are they shooting above their heads right? Now you

1162
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 6: could argue they. ARE i kind of feel like when you're,

1163
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 6: hot you're, hot and this momentum of hot shooting can

1164
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 6: really carry.

1165
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 5: Forth WHAT i love though.

1166
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 6: About that running the whack, turner which is. Insane right

1167
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 6: they won four or, yeah four and back to back

1168
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 6: to back to. Back he used like five different type.

1169
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 6: DEFENSE i saw him use the triangle in two box and.

1170
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 6: ONE i know that he will have something unique up

1171
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 6: his sleeve and a bag of tricks in his back

1172
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 6: pocket if he needs to use it to kind of

1173
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 6: Taken zag out of their comfort.

1174
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 5: Zone, right they're Gonna, yeah they've been an overteam.

1175
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 6: LATELY i would be shocked If drew continues to be

1176
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 6: so free flowing with how fast they, play just at

1177
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 6: the expense of their. Transition D it's tough to see

1178
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 6: how this game really plays, out BUT i Think drew

1179
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 6: has something cooked up in the chamber where it's going

1180
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 6: to be good enough to stay inside the. Number SO

1181
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 6: i took the, lopes but full, DISCLOSURE i Have gonzagon

1182
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 6: away the file four, here So i'm certainly not selling

1183
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 6: GONZAG i think they're very.

1184
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 5: Legit but But Bryce true has good on.

1185
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 3: It this. One love it and for what it's worth

1186
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 3: if it gets you, know something that could keep potentially

1187
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 3: keep them in the number either late or just throughout

1188
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 3: is you know you Have Anton watson is fifty seven,

1189
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 3: Percent timmy's like sixty three percent from the, line so

1190
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 3: you know there could be some miss free throws From

1191
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 3: kenzaga that just make all the difference in the world

1192
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 3: between like something that ends up, being you, know a

1193
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen point game instead of a seventeen eighteen point.

1194
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 3: Game my calculations are correct here yet to see so,

1195
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 3: Serious let's move on to the late night Slate Florida Atlantic.

1196
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: Memphis talk about a game that's gonna be exciting to.

1197
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 3: Watch this is one of the Games i'm looking forward

1198
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 3: to the, most AND i WISH i could have a

1199
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 3: really strong conviction who would, win so then for my,

1200
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 3: bracket so THAT i could have them Upsetting. PURDUE i

1201
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: think Purdueing kansas are very very vulnerable one seats for

1202
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 3: who they have in the second. Round the problem, IS

1203
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 3: i is arkatsall AM i gonna? Win or is It

1204
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 3: Farid atlantic Or memphis gonna? Win and that's the conundrum

1205
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: of a. Bracket this Game memphis two point favorite ever

1206
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 3: under one fifty three games In columbus in The East

1207
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 3: region nine to Twenty eastern ON, Tnt memphis peaking at

1208
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,479
Speaker 3: the right, time as well as Far, atlantic both deep,

1209
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 3: teams super. Athletic how do you make sense of this?

1210
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 3: Game P, Ja, YEAH i LIKE.

1211
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 7: A i mean this is like a whole drernal is

1212
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 7: like sicko type under under one hundred and fifty three,

1213
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 7: Points like this is obviously gonna be a very up

1214
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 7: and down type of. Game BUT i think both these

1215
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 7: defenses potentially pose some problems for the opposing. Offenses like

1216
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 7: if you look At Florida, atlantic they're obviously an elite.

1217
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 8: Offense they have four to three point.

1218
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 7: Shooters But memphis has done a tremendous job defending the

1219
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 7: three point. Line they're twenty eighth in the country in

1220
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 7: three point percent, Allowed they're fifteenth in defending catch and

1221
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 7: shoot three point jumpers sixty six and off the dribble

1222
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 7: three point, jumpers so they do have the size and

1223
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 7: ability to Defend Florida. Atlantic and in the flip, Side

1224
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 7: Florida atlantic is a very very good press. Offense they

1225
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 7: don't turn the ball over quite a, lot SO i

1226
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 7: think you're seeing you'll see a good opportunity for them

1227
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 7: to potentially get into the half. Court AND i, mean,

1228
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 7: listen both these teams are also very very good at

1229
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 7: defending in the half, court SO i don't see a

1230
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 7: scenario where like it's very. GOOD i Think Penny hardway

1231
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 7: is a very smart, coach but, LIKE i don't just

1232
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 7: see him just like all out pressing against a really

1233
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 7: really good press. OFFENSE i think he'll probably hang, back

1234
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 7: maybe try to press them in the half court rather

1235
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 7: than try and just go right at them and turn

1236
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 7: this into an up and down type. Game both these

1237
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 7: teams are very very good at defending at the rim as,

1238
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 7: well SO i think it sets kind of a little

1239
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 7: more difficult for these two offenses to score with these

1240
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 7: two you, know both offensive defenses being pretty. Wod SO

1241
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 7: i like under one hundred and fifty three points like

1242
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 7: this could go to one hundred and seventy on hundred

1243
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 7: and seventy, five and it's, Like, okay, YEAH i look

1244
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 7: like an, Idiot BUT i do think these two defenses

1245
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 7: potentially post some problems for the opposing.

1246
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 3: Offenses, yeah tons of athleticism that can match up with

1247
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 3: each other across the. Board you, KNOW i was getting

1248
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 3: in my, bracket WHICH i don't have my official. BACKGEAT

1249
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,439
Speaker 3: i was like taking Contemplating memphis to The final, four

1250
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 3: and Then i'm, like, well they are a two point

1251
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 3: favorite in the first, round BUT i think that they

1252
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 3: could Get perdue a ton of. Problem both teams can

1253
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 3: get pudue a ton of times to both in ninety

1254
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 3: first and ninety third percent tile on post. Defense they

1255
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 3: also can pressure The purdue guards with their. Physicality it

1256
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 3: sucks that these two teams got matched up against each.

1257
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: Other that were you doing anything with this?

1258
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 6: Game, Yeah i'm gonna Take fau more of a heart,

1259
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 6: Bet i'll be. HONEST i Got fau in The elite.

1260
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 6: EIGHT i saw him play live twice this. Year they're

1261
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 6: just such a. Blast the one weakness with, THEM i

1262
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 6: WATCHED La tech exploit this with The Isaiah. Crawford if

1263
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 6: you have like a big power wing and just you

1264
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 6: post up that fourth guard because right AS bj match

1265
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 6: and they have four, guards and they Have golden, upfront

1266
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 6: and they'll swap In, rosota who's they're kind of their backup.

1267
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 6: Big but it's four guards in one. Big so if

1268
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 6: you have like kind of that hybrid piece that can

1269
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 6: bully the, quasi have fourth, guard that's where you can.

1270
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 6: Exploit but that's really not What memphis, Does LIKE i

1271
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 6: think that's the they run more conventional stuff with With

1272
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 6: kendrick and you, know And williams will be able to Body.

1273
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 5: Golden that that's the matchup they get.

1274
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 6: There So i'm gonna TAKE, fau but nothing strong because

1275
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 6: as you, MENTIONED i, Mean memphis just is a different

1276
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 6: team right, now and it's a well coached, team and

1277
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 6: it's a team led by a guy In Kendrick davis

1278
01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,959
Speaker 6: who's probably you, KNOW i don't know WHO i trust

1279
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 6: more in the final three minutes to, like get me

1280
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 6: a good, shot make the right, play make free, throws

1281
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 6: just to you, know an adult in the room at

1282
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:08,360

1285
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:13,120

1290
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 3: Between Montana state And Kansas. State Kansas state's eight a

1291
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 3: half point favorite over under one thirty nine Nine eastern

1292
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 3: ON cbs In.

1293
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 4: Greensboro in The East.

1294
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 3: REGIONAL i Think Kansas, state you want to look for

1295
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 3: potential underdog just from a seating, perspective that could win out.

1296
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: Right when we had an EVENT i think it was

1297
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 3: In vegas a few years, ago someone WHO i had

1298
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 3: made a bet on, stage we had an on stage

1299
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 3: At Kansas state was going to lose TO U See

1300
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,720

01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 4: Ervine ended up.

1302
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 3: Winning AND i just thought it was a really good

1303
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 3: matchup schematically for you. Year but name that game they

1304
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 3: ended up. WINNING i think the same thing is true

1305
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 3: here For Montana. State on both ends of the. Floor

1306
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 3: it's a really good matchup For Montana, state who veteran,

1307
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 3: team very well, coached very. Athletic it's on your typical

1308
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Big sky, team and one of their best, Players, bellow

1309
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 3: dealt with an injury for about a. MONTH i think

1310
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 3: that hurt some of their analytic.

1311
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 4: Ratings but he's.

1312
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 3: Healthy, now when you look at This Kansas state, team

1313
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 3: like you look and you, say, okay their three, seed

1314
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 3: WELL i have them twenty seventh best team in the.

1315
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: Country my power Is Kem palmder twenty. Fourth that's that's

1316
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 3: a six seventh.

1317
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 4: Seed.

1318
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 3: Yep so you're not getting a true three seed here

1319
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 3: if You're Montana.

1320
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 4: State two.

1321
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 3: COACHES i highly respect on Kandas state obviously an electric,

1322
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 3: backcourt BUT i Think Montana state match up well.

1323
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 4: Here i'll get into some of the. ANGLES. Bj what

1324
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 4: do you?

1325
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 7: Think this is one of my favorite bets of the

1326
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 7: entire first round of the. TOURNAMENTS i, Mean Montana state

1327
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 7: is an apps dangerous match For Kansas.

1328
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 8: State, SO i Mean kansastate largely benefited from being really

1329
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 8: good In. Manhattan this.

1330
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 7: Season they're sixteen and one at, home seven to nine

1331
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 7: in neutral or games away from, home seventh worst away

1332
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 7: from home metric per Hasle metrics in college, basketball and

1333
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 7: they're kind of a like a one trick type. Pony,

1334
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 7: offensively they're the third highest frequency team in term of

1335
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 7: their shot attempts at the. Rim they're the highest frequency

1336
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 7: back cutting team in the. Country Montana state is six

1337
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 7: in the country at defending the rim and nineteenth at

1338
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 7: defending back. Cuts they'll be a table to take away

1339
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 7: two of the big advantages. There and Then Kansas. State

1340
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 7: they're only shooting thirty four percent from beyond the arc

1341
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 7: and they're two hundred ninety seventh in open three point,

1342
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 7: rate so a lot of their three point jumpers are.

1343
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 7: Contested and not to, MENTION i Mean Kansas state has

1344
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 7: internal issues all season. Long they have a twenty percent turnaal,

1345
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 7: rate which is three hundred in the. Country Montana state

1346
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 7: can turn you over at a set top seventy five.

1347
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 7: Rate In Montana, state they're peaking at the right. Time

1348
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 7: they won fourteen of their last fifteen games in The Big.

1349
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 7: Sky incredibly well, experienced seen four upperclassmens in upper classmen

1350
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 7: and they're starting. Five Ray Kwon battle is a really dynamic.

1351
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 7: Scorer came over From washington to transfer. Portal the biggest

1352
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 7: thing though With montana is they need to get the ball.

1353
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 7: Inside they need to get the ball inside In Montana.

1354
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 3: State don't make the fans In bozeman Upset Montana, state

1355
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 3: Not Montana.

1356
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 8: Excuse, Me Montana.

1357
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 7: State they need to get the ball inside and they

1358
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 7: need to get to the free throw, line which they

1359
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 7: do do at a top ten. RATE i Mean Kansas,

1360
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 7: state they're two hundred and ninety eighth and free throw.

1361
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 7: Allowed and the biggest advantage That Kansas state has had

1362
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 7: over a lot of, teams especially in The Big, twelve

1363
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,479
Speaker 7: is they're an elite three point. Defense, well that doesn't

1364
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 7: really Hurt Montana state because they don't take a lot

1365
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 7: of three pointers to begin. With SO i think this

1366
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 7: is a slam dunk spot for The bobcats. Here SO

1367
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 7: i Love Montana state at plus eight and a.

1368
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 4: Half, YEAH i.

1369
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 3: Agree last, year one of my favorite bets Was Texas

1370
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 3: tech in the first round Against Montana. State Montana state

1371
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 3: lost by thirty. Five that was the worst possible matchup

1372
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 3: For Montana state because you mentioned. It they're the second

1373
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 3: heaviest post offics in the country Behind, purdue and they

1374
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,919
Speaker 3: run a lot of stuff Through bellow in the man

1375
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 3: and the goggles in the, interior and then they need drible.

1376
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 3: Penetration this is not a three point shooting. Team so

1377
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: you're going up against a no, middle that no Middle

1378
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 3: Texas tech. Defense you got to shoot. Threes, Well Montana

1379
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 3: state just it what we all expected to, happen happened

1380
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 3: ninety seven to sixty. Two so but now this team,

1381
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 3: again they don't shoot. Threes they're not a great three

1382
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 3: point shooting. Team they want to run everything Through bellow

1383
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 3: and they need drible penetration that you can do that

1384
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Against Kansas. State you can get to the, rim and

1385
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 3: you can they need to get to the. LINE i

1386
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: Think Cannas state's three hundredth and free throw attempt to

1387
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 3: rate allow on. Defense Montana state's fifth in the country

1388
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 3: getting to the. Line they can get to the. Rim

1389
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 3: here they can get into the paint and then on

1390
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 3: the other side of the. Ball it's a team that

1391
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 3: has great individual defenders that can match up with This

1392
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 3: Kansas state back Toward Darius, brown who was on some

1393
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:03,479
Speaker 3: horrid North ridge.

1394
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 4: Defenses by the, WAY.

1395
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 5: I makes no Sense.

1396
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 3: Northward's defense Under gottlie were they just never play.

1397
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 4: Defense but he's Big sky defensive player of The.

1398
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 3: Year they, have you, Know fuller And battle who have like,

1399
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 3: size who can match up against The, YEAH i guess

1400
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 3: you put you Put battle On, Sills brown On, Johnson

1401
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 3: fuller On, NOEL i, Guess but, yeah you mentioned the turnover.

1402
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 3: Issues Montana state can thrive. THERE i just think it's

1403
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 3: a really good matchup on both ends for a way,

1404
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 3: oversea The Kandas state team that just isn't the same

1405
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 3: team away from. Home, yeah Maybe noel hits seven of

1406
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 3: those threes from the from half court that he pulls

1407
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 3: up and makes way more THAN i ever think he's going.

1408
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 4: To BUT i Think Montana state's live.

1409
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 3: Here it's sad that the market's so efficient these days

1410
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 3: because the line is sitting at eight and a half

1411
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 3: AND i think ten to twelve years ago would have

1412
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 3: be probably an. Eleven BUT i STILL i Think Antenna

1413
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 3: state can put a scare Into Kansas.

1414
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 4: State now do you agree?

1415
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 5: Here, Yeah Marky, Snowell i'm with, You.

1416
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 6: STUCK i never really bought into him as like an

1417
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 6: elite league guard in The big. Twelve he shut me

1418
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 6: up pretty with a lot of conviction early, on but

1419
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 6: look at his last four. GAMES i think that eighteen

1420
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 6: turnovers last four games was ice cold last time. Out,

1421
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 6: like that's A NOEL i remember watching it little rock.

1422
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 6: Right obviously different player, now but he's not. Infallible i'll say.

1423
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 6: That And i've just for to put.

1424
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 5: A hand up. HERE i Had Montana state last. Year

1425
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 5: it felt like a.

1426
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 6: FOOL i just was, so you, know For Queen country

1427
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 6: team that's got FOUR i think guys From england two from.

1428
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 4: One sorry by the, WAY i was, like well everything

1429
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 4: we expected that.

1430
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 5: Happened, YEAH i was a.

1431
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 6: FOOL i thought their physicality would would maybe just be

1432
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 6: a good you, know they could they wouldn't be punked

1433
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 6: By Texas. Tech but they were absolutely punked By Texas.

1434
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 6: Tech Texas tech last year is not this Year's Kansas. State,

1435
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 6: LIKE i think two different class of, teams to be,

1436
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 6: honest that's a completely different se like, schematic different style.

1437
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 6: Too you're, right they're on The baylor back cutting stuff

1438
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 6: THAT bj talked. About So Danny sprinkle good. Coach if

1439
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 6: he can figure out the back cutting stuff that forwarded

1440
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 6: so many, big tall defenses to, START i think they'll be.

1441
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 5: Fine they should be.

1442
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 3: Competitive Darius, brouds Big scott defensive player of The, year

1443
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 3: he wasn't on that team last. Year, right you're adding

1444
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 3: a key defensive piece via the transfer.

1445
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 4: Portal there's a lot of live dogs.

1446
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 3: Of like the thirteen fourteen to fifteen On, friday which

1447
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 3: means they'll miss all their threes and all these by,

1448
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: thirty but we'll have hope going into the day you.

1449
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 5: Will always be held to a, different higher. Standard and

1450
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 5: it's fucked, up but that is the way it.

1451
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 3: Is let's get to our last game of the day

1452
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 3: because IT'S tvd VERSUS, tcu which will be the final

1453
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 3: game of the. Night so let's close things out with

1454
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 3: The aubany bonanza feels. Right Kent state Against Indiana indiana

1455
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 3: four point favorite over under one forty and a. Half

1456
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,600
Speaker 3: it's The Midwest, region nine to fifty Five eastern ON. Tbs,

1457
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 3: maddie you like the golden flashes.

1458
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 5: Here, YEAH i.

1459
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 6: DO i actually picked in the end of my bracket

1460
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 6: AND i Took Kent state pretty big on the, spread

1461
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 6: So i'm really trying to thread the needle with this.

1462
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 6: ONE i THINK tjd goes for thirty. FIVE i don't

1463
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 6: Think Kent state has like a dominant front, guy front

1464
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 6: line guy to match up with, him and the way they're,

1465
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 6: constructed that's not really what they. Have but they Let

1466
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 6: Timmy Drew jimmy go for thirty two in the match

1467
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 6: in the, season and we're right in that. GAME i

1468
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 6: just like how center off. Schemes it's sort of What

1469
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,839
Speaker 6: we've seen teams do with AGAINST tjd and other matchups

1470
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 6: in The Big, ten like all, right let him get

1471
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 6: his we'll take away shooters and we'll make you like

1472
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 6: we'll beat you threes verse, twos, right or we'll just

1473
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 6: kind of go to two verse your twos and kind

1474
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 6: of chip away and keep it.

1475
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 5: Close that's how they stay close With.

1476
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 6: Houston it's just a really, tough, physical older, team multiple

1477
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 6: guys to throw On Jalen Hooch chafino With Reli jacobs

Speaker 6: who's a little, bigger and Then Sincere carey who was

1479
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 6: kind of their defensive stopper last. Year BUT i like

1480
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 6: that center off kind of lets him run. More the

1481
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 6: offense takes the burden defensively off his plate this year

1482
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 6: With jacobs, emerging keep an eye On chris Pay you,

Speaker 6: or the light bulb just flicked, on but he's been

1489
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:11,559

Speaker 6: from this count.

1495
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 3: Report, Yeah Kent state super experiencing very, physical elite. Defense

1496
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 3: they got up some elite defensive. Pieces you, know it's

1497
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 3: not a great shooting team from the, outside but their

1498
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 3: defense is going to keep them in this game. Alone

1499
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 3: you just the only thing that could really get them

1500
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 3: out of this game is, like since Here carry just

1501
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 3: having an off, night, Right sometimes he just is on

1502
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 3: when he's on, one he's on one. SOMETIMES i remember

1503
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 3: that game in The Mac tournament Against akron when he

1504
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 3: was just kept missing and missing and missing and.

1505
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 6: Shooting, yeah he had nine turnovers and was he two

1506
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 6: of eleven from the. FLOOR i mean that was just. Disastrous,

1507
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 6: yeah he needs to put that beyond his. Psyche that's

1508
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 6: that was.

1509
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 3: Horrible but he his quickness could give The indiana perimeter some.

1510
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 3: Issues but, Yeah ken say team is battle. Tested they're

1511
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 3: like they have LIKE i know this is kind of

1512
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 3: narrative or, like, YEAH i did they have, swagger, right

1513
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 3: which is important when you're playing against a power conference,

1514
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 3: team and they showed that they went To, charleston lost by,

1515
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 3: two at a shot to win. It they went To,

1516
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 3: houston lost by. Five they went To gonzaga lost by. Seven,

1517
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 3: like those are three tournament, teams all on the, road

1518
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 3: and they were right in those. Games and they're why

1519
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 3: because their their defense, travels which is important in the.

1520
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 3: Tournament Malik jacobs on can he shut him?

1521
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 5: Down shut?

1522
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 6: DOWN i think he can bother for. SURE i like

1523
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 6: that they have two, options, Right it doesn't have to

1524
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 6: be one guy for a full forty. Minutes you can

1525
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 6: put multiple guys al tary Between kerry And. Jacobs BUT

1526
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 6: i think it's more about this, scheme, right you kind

1527
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 6: of have TO i, Mean chao is a midrange, killer

1528
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 6: so you have to kind of take him off of.

1529
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 6: That you have to kind of throw different books at.

1530
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 6: HIM i think Cent ruff will have something dialed up

1531
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 6: that'll be effective. There that's my concern from A iu fan.

1532
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 3: Perspective, YEAH i do Think Ken state could make would

1533
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 3: be like A they still could make a.

1534
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 4: Run they could Beat, indiana they could Beat DrAk Or.

1535
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 3: MIAMI i think if they had like Just Giovanni santiago

1536
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 3: for like twelve, minutes like to come in and make.

1537
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:21,759
Speaker 5: A guy you can make some shots.

1538
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 3: Exactly, yeah WOULD i think raise their ceiling a?

1539
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:25,280

1541
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 3: the Who? Hoosiers?

1542
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 7: YEAH i Mean i've been going back and forth, This

1543
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 7: like when the brack came, OUT i was, like, YES

1544
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 7: i Love Kent. State it's a great, matchup but the

1545
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 7: market has become so efficient now where it's just like,

1546
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 7: four like that's such a, Yeah, Indiana like that's Where

1547
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 7: i'm looking at. This i'm, like DO i potentially maybe

1548
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 7: want to Play indiana this short? Number BECAUSE i get?

1549
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 7: It like, Defensively Kent state matches up against them very.

1550
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 7: Well the only thing gives me a little. Pause they're

1551
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 7: three hundred and fortieth and average, Heights so like that's

1552
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 7: kind of. Troublesomebody you look at their very very efficient

1553
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 7: and defending in the. Post they're very efficient in defending

1554
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 7: at the. Rim but if you look at the teams

1555
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 7: That indian has lost too, recently you, Know Penn state

1556
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 7: obviously shot the lights Out, iowa you, know went made

1557
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 7: twelve three pointers against, Them Michigan state made ten three

1558
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 7: pointers against. Them, like Is Kent state this type of

1559
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 7: offense that can get like nuclear hot and just Shoot

1560
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 7: indiana out of this type of. GAME i don't know

1561
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 7: if they, Are like if you look at other shot quality,

1562
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 7: metrics they're. Not they don't grade out that well even

1563
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 7: though they are a mid major. Team so, Definitely LIKE

1564
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 7: i just keep going back and, forth, like, YES i

1565
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 7: do Love Kent, state but this number is so short

1566
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 7: that it's almost causing me to Play. Indiana but then,

1567
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 7: again Like Ken state's good defending at the, ram like

1568
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 7: the games Against gonzaga And, houston they defended it if

1569
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 7: you go look at the box course from, there they

1570
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 7: defended really good at the rim against those two, teams

1571
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 7: so they can.

1572
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 8: Definitely match up well down.

1573
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 7: Low but this number is so so, Short so like

1574
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 7: if this gets to three and a, HALF i might

1575
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 7: have to just end up Playing.

1576
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 3: INDIANA i actually can see The matta your ideal scenario

1577
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 3: playing out Where indiana wins by one to. Three and

1578
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 3: we've Seen indiana what they've. Won they Beat michigan by,

1579
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 3: Two illinois by, Three michigan by, one.

1580
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 4: Perdue.

1581
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 3: By they've won some close games and a lot of.

1582
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,839
Speaker 3: That Kent state's a regressive. Defense they fell a lot

1583
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:13,560
Speaker 3: Like indiana' is gonna get to the. Line they're not

1584
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 3: a good free throw shooting, team And Kent state if they're,

1585
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 3: down they're gonna keep coming at. Them but you've Seen

1586
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 3: indiana miss free throws, late and they could miss some

1587
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 3: free throws, here which let's can hang. Around they could

1588
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 3: miss some free throws. Late you can get a back door,

1589
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 3: Too so, YEAH i wouldn't be shocked At indiana wins

1590
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 3: this game by one to.

1591
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 4: Three i'm rooting for, You. Maddie all, right good.

1592
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 3: Stuff that is every known matchup On friday's. SLATE i

1593
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 3: think you know it never plays out the, side BUT

1594
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 3: i Think friday is gonna.

1595
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 4: Be the most exciting day of the. Term, yeah so we'll.

1596
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 3: See that means it'll be all. Blowouts but at least

1597
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 3: one can hope before we get out of here that

1598
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 3: we have one fun order of. Business our best bet

1599
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 3: of the, Day bja'll start with You.

1600
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 8: Drake plus two Against.

1601
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 7: MIAMI i think the matchup is really really good for

1602
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 7: them with the unknown statffs Nor. Chatamir even if he does,

1603
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 7: play he's going to be. Hampered miami has no size

1604
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 7: down low their complete liability on the boards Against Arnold

1605
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 7: rody really really Experienced drake team that we've already talked,

1606
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 7: about a, bunch very very efficient in the mid, range

1607
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 7: very very good at pick and, roll Something miami really

1608
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 7: struggles with. Defensively SO i love my Hometown Drake bulldogs

1609
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 7: at plus two and a.

1610
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 4: Half love. It, yeah can Keep miami out a, transition

1611
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 4: which is, Key.

1612
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 6: Maddie, YEAH i did Take kent's at, Four so perhaps

1613
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:29,759
Speaker 6: it's foolish for me to pick Indi enda my bracket

1614
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 6: and actually have that be my best bet fading.

1615
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,759
Speaker 5: Them but there's just such a, low.

1616
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 3: You.

1617
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 6: Know but if you have good balance, stuck you can please.

1618
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 6: Everybody that's What i'm trying to do. HERE i just

1619
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 6: don't see a scenario with his game is a.

1620
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 5: BLOWOUT i really.

1621
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 6: DON'T i Think Kent state is amazing at keeping games

1622
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 6: really really, close but do they have enough shooting and

1623
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 6: shot making to get up with the?

1624
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 5: HUMP i don't think. SO i think plus four is

1625
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 5: a great, bet Though.

1626
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with Kennessas state plus eleven and

1627
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 3: a half Against. XAVIER i Think xavier's defense has too

1628
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 3: many holes for this to become a complete. Blowout Kennesaal

1629
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 3: state can. Score they're well, coached they are, veteran they've

1630
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 3: been through wars together AND i think that their gibble

1631
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 3: penetration will work. Here their defense will Keep xavier on its.

1632
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 3: Toes No Zach fremantle kind of lowers the ceiling of that.

1633
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 3: Offense and, YEAH i think Kennisall state can keep this

1634
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 3: close and profile is a pretty good. Pup let's go
