Speaker 2: the same thirteen and two week that we did last week,

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,680

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: I love making money. I'm excited to maybe make more.

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: Smart Man good Man, don't promise your bets anything.

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,280

00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: the BBOC Feed. All right, fellas, let's get into our

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: first big segment.

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: It is the Big Games of the week.

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: We're starting on Monday. We're getting into the real big

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: Monday of it all in college basketball. And there's a

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: huge one in the Big twelve, a bit of an

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: undercard in the ACC. We got Kansas at ten Tech,

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: Kansas coming off that almost demolition of BYU that turned

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: into a close game. The Peterson Debanca title fight got

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: broken up halfway through and Peterson sat out. And then

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: Syracuse at n C the Heels a ten point favorite

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: on Monday, with the look ahead to Duke looming there,

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: kylet's starting the Big Twelve with that game. Texas Tech

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: is minus two at Ken Pond, but I have seen

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: some four and a half in the market.

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: Wow. I think there is some.

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Speculation that mister Peterson may not play or be at

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: full strength four to eight hours after that, sitting out

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: the second half against BYU.

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: I've also got.

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: Texas Tech off loss against UCF.

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: They couldn't get any stops.

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm a Red Raider man here, Kai even at four

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: and a half, what do you think?

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, clearly, I guess early market considering Peterson, but also

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: the spot tax, thee almighty spot tax. It's a good

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: spot for Texas Tech right off the loss. Like you mentioned,

62
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: Kansas off the big one at home. You go to

63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: a place in Lubbock that is one of the toughest

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: places to play in the country. It's down to fifth

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: in a home court advantage for kim Pom used to

66
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: be number one, apparently now it's number five. I do

67
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: think Texas Tech can win this game. I'm not sure

68
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: I want to lay four and a half. Matthew, I

69
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: like the Kimpom line better at two, but I worry

70
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: that Top is going to have.

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: A harder time scoring against Kansas.

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: Clearly then UCF Kansas defense is elite, incredible and especially

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: on the interior. Now they do allow teams to beat

74
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: them with the jumper, and Texas Tech has been excellent

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: this season shooting in the three. Chris Sanderson has been amazing.

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 4: Guy have a couple of their shooters at will wats.

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: To a certain extent, I text Tech gets it done.

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: I do like the spot for Texas Tech Matthew, but

79
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: again I'm not paying the premium.

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm not paying the premium either. I just looking at

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Kansas profile. Their defense has been just rock solid all

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: especially big twelve play. It's funny. They're fifth in the

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: league overall, but second and two point percentage defense, first

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: in block rates, and you just look at the eye

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: test of Madunga and Tiller. I gotta think this is

86
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: probably the toughest matchup top and spaced all year. So

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: you can cut his water off and then you get

88
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: some pressure out there of the perimeter on Christian Anderson

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: make the others of Texas Tech beat you. I think

90
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the matchup really really exkews pretty hard here to Ku.

91
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: But again we'll see how much the spot factors. Any

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: the way, I will not be involved in this game.

93
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: I think four that's where it settles is a pretty

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: fair price.

95
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lay it four and a half. Boys, I'll

96
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: pay the premium.

97
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: And I will say I don't think it's as much

98
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: of a premium as that minus two to minus four

99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: and a half difference indicates, especially if Peterson's out. I

100
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: think Kansas ceiling performance is with Peterson in there, and

101
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: you got Texas Tech getting healthier, and I believe that

102
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: team is going to come together.

103
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: Maybe four to eight hours after a loss.

104
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Isn't the right time to assume that both Josiah Mosley

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: and his third game back, Luke Bamgoy and his second

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 2: game back, you got another couple of bodies up front

107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: to battle Badunga, to battle Tiller, who had that big,

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: big game against Byu and Matti.

109
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: You mentioned mister Toppin. I'm not sure anybody shuts his

110
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: water off. Last five games.

111
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: He's gone for twenty seven thirty on twenty seven thirty one.

112
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: The guy just has pristine touch in the paint. You

113
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: get him on those short rolls, Anderson hits him on

114
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: the pocket pass. He's got incredible feel with that lefty hook.

115
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: I think he finds some of those against Badunga. And

116
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: with my anticipation that we're not going to get a

117
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: huge long performance from Darren Peterson if he plays. I

118
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: can't imagine he gets up to thirty minutes in a

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: game like this coming off those cramps.

120
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buy Texas Tech. If I told you.

121
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: Guys that Texas Tech was at the same elevation as Montana,

122
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: would you be surprised?

123
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: Dah, We knew this, Jim, but his listeners sorry, might

124
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: not and is surprising you don't think of Lovevick as

125
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: an elevation place when.

126
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: He gets to elevation crazy crowd. Yeah, it just sets

127
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: up as a tough place to go win.

128
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: Yep.

129
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: That's short turnaround, going from Lawrence with personal question marks.

130
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: I will ride with the Red Raiders and to lay

131
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: it at four and a half. That is the official

132
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: line at both Trafkings and FanDuel right now, so gonna lock.

133
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: It in there.

134
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: I think I'd take it up to five, but I

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: would not go past that. And full disclosure, I was

136
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: on Texas Tech on Saturday and that didn't work out,

137
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: So you know, people take that as you will, all right?

138
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: The undercard the less exciting game on Monday Syracuse at UNC. Matthew,

139
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: you are the duchy of this podcast, so you know

140
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: that that big matchup is coming. We'll talk about both

141
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: the Heels and the Blue Devils in the spot section

142
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: as well, But for this matchup, Syracuse coming to town.

143
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: Who knows what's up with Donnie Freeman didn't start last game.

144
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: If you can figure him out, Matthew, you might be

145
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: a You might have a future as a coach whisper,

146
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: a player whisper in the NBA. Any thoughts for you

147
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: here the early lines I'm trying to find right now?

148
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: Where are you Syracuse ten and a half, Matthew? The

149
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: Heels are laying.

150
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm attempted to lay with the Heels. I've been

151
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: very impressed with you and see lately, I think they

152
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: have two of their lowest turnover rates in the last

153
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: couple of games, and like historically good you got Trimble

154
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: back and Dixon's cruisin kind of reshuffling the backcourt rotation.

155
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: We know how good Caleb Wilson is. And I was

156
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: kind of worried about his foot thing that was spooky, like, oh,

157
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: he's not going to be one hundred percent of a year.

158
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna to miss some time. I think this is

159
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: there's some by low vibes with me Kai with this

160
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: UNC team, I mean, they're not like overly tax in

161
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the market. They're thirtieth right now in Camp Pink. They're

162
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: better than that. I know Syracuse has the random ability

163
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: to like, oh, yeah, we're talented, we'll play like it today.

164
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to trend more in the

165
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: zombie white flag direction than the like kind of start

166
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: to ride the Donnie Freeman upward swing. I guess so, yeah,

167
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I like you and Seque right here. I haven't officially

168
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: locked it in, but I think if it maybe falls

169
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: to nine or something, I might might lay it to.

170
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: Your point, Matt, you and c Yeah, this is their

171
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: best ever turnover rate in Kim Palm era, so thirty

172
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: odd years for you and see.

173
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: They don't turn it over. That helps. They don't make

174
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: teams uncomfortable in the defensive end. But a lot of.

175
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: Their poor defense right now is driven by really poor

176
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: shooting luck. On this end, ACC teams are shooting forty

177
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: two percent from three against them. That's dead last in

178
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: the a SEC. Syracuse can shoot, it's not their first

179
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: option and trust, and frankly, I don't really trust Syracuse's

180
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: offense anytime it's very discombobulated. It's my turn, your turn.

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: When Freeman's on the floor, it's his show. Kyne Anthony

182
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: takes too many shots.

183
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: I agree with Matt. I think U and C is

184
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: a bit underrated right now.

185
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: I don't think they're twenty. I think they're a little

186
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: better than that kid. Wilson's clearly a star.

187
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Jim.

188
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: I don't give a ton of credence to the look

189
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: ahead quote unquote spot to Duke, it's on Saturday, this

190
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: game is on Monday. I'd lean towards you and C's

191
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: way because I just do not trust Syracuse. It's not

192
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: where I choose to put my money.

193
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Syracuse, I just can't trust in the matchup.

194
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: UNC's defense is elite at forcing mid range jumpers.

195
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: It's like that heavy heavy drop coverage.

196
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: SMU is really good at making them, and buco Ocore

197
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: for Stanford really good at making them.

198
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: That is not Syracuse's strength.

199
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: If Natan George and JJ Starling are in a fire

200
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: fifteen to eighteen footers all game, I think un C

201
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: can run away. I'm not going to lay it because

202
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: of the spot. I think the look ahead and just

203
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: the sandwich factor of it know they had that huge

204
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: Virginuine last weekend. This weekend they have a pretty strong

205
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: performance wired to wire against Georgia Tech. If there is

206
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: kind of a dud spot in the schedule, it's against

207
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: the Syracuse team that has lost four or five isn't

208
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: really a threat to the tournament, and you've got Duke

209
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: on the horizon. So I would definitely lean towards the Heels,

210
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: especially in the matchup sense, but I'm not gonna actually

211
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: lock it in as an official play to Tuesday we

212
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: go another couple of headliners here, NC State at SMU,

213
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: the aforementioned Mustang's. They are two teams that look like

214
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 2: they're headed towards the tournament from the ACC although SMU.

215
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: Getting a little more tenuous in.

216
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: Their grip on a bid, whereas NC State's playing very well.

217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: And then Indiana minus one at usc the second leg

218
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: of their West Coast trip after they took care of

219
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: business in overtime at UCLA, a surprising victory there. You

220
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: got a great mccron and I saw somebody joke on

221
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: Twitter like the audacity of the Big ten to make

222
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 2: UCLA go from their locker room all the way to

223
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: the court. What insane travel those port Ruins had to do.

224
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: It was a great joke, whoever whoever made it. But

225
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: Indiana looking to just continue the role. They're on a

226
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: lot of bubble people talking about how they've gone from

227
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: like ten teams out of the tournament to ten teams

228
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: in the tournament with their last two wins. Kai, I'll

229
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: let you pick whichever one of these matchups you want

230
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: to break down most because they're.

231
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: Both minus one.

232
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: At Ken Palm, we don't have official lines, so kind

233
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: of coin flip type games.

234
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: I'm leaning the home team in the AC game, so

235
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: SMU and then I do like Indiana at USC, I

236
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: was impressed with SMU against Louisville. They end up not covering,

237
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: but they were leading that game for I would say

238
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: thirty ish minutes before Louisville kind of forked them at

239
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 4: the end. Their guards are very very good, but V.

240
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: Miller is awesome.

241
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: B J.

242
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: Edwards is very very good, Jaron Pierre very good. And

243
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: two Glue. Yeah you get two glu excuse me, you

244
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: can too glue. They's the name, right, it works.

245
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: He's very effective inside seven to two center has his

246
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 4: moments sometimes a little bit soft and unable to finish.

247
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: But I've impressed him as well. I think this is

248
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: a good game for them. They can pick offense. He

249
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: state who's looked much better this season as well, four

250
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: straight wins, seven to two in the eight sec. So,

251
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: like Smu, I'm gonna add that one, and I like

252
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: Matt hugers Man. I thought Ucla was a really good

253
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: matchup for them because UCLA cannot punish them inside, and

254
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: that's what we're worried about with Indiana every single game

255
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten. I'm not really sure USC can either.

256
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: I'm not too not too scared of their front line.

257
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: Ouser Kofe not really intimating to me. And obviously it's

258
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 4: not a lot of travel for Indiana USC. Matt really disappointing.

259
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 4: Africanst Rutgers thought they were going to blow the doors

260
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: off the Scarlet Knights, let them hang around.

261
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 3: So give me, SMU, give me Indiana.

262
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least Indiana knows like what their team is

263
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: right now. We'll see if Tan Connorway plays. But I

264
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: like that they have a pretty good backup with En

265
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: right behind them, who clearly knows how to run the offense.

266
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 3: USC.

267
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, now we have elijahinas back, we're trying

268
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: to get him in there. And Jordan Marsh has hurt,

269
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: who was like a key like off the bench piece.

270
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: He's been out the last three games. Gabe Dimes, we're

271
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: trying to play a lot in January I didn't really

272
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: worked out, so he's now falling back. It's just been

273
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: a total like Must throwing stuff at the wall, which

274
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: is what Must does. It's why he typically is team's

275
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: peak in March and from like lower seat spots. But

276
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking Indiana keeps it going.

277
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

278
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I was really torn in this game. Yeah, it's just

279
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: the lack of usc continuity is what bothers me. I

280
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: was trying to find the number of the stats for

281
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: ats for teams that have played their second game on

282
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: the West Coast. I'm still mining that currently, but I

283
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: think it's it's not been the edge that I thought

284
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: it was. It's not in the edge of Cronin bemoans

285
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: it as. But still that's how I do lean on

286
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: you here.

287
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I think the Connaway thing does loom a

288
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 2: little bit large. I mean, you'd love to have him

289
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: get underneath Chad Baker Massara and Wright's been very good passively.

290
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I think it matters for sure.

291
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, USC.

292
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: I mean they the only like good stretch of basketball

293
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: they've I guess think one it Wisconsinant, but like the

294
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: stretch against Iowa where they got nineteen straight from Cam Woods,

295
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: who had thirty three in that game. In his other

296
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: nine games at USC, he has thirty three combined. So like,

297
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm not buying that camp explosion like that was a

298
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: one time aberration. As Matt mentioned, Arenas is really not

299
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: instilled into the lineup. I think us are could have

300
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: some success because he just draws so many fouls. He

301
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: lives at the free throw line, and they attacked their mismatches.

302
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: But I'm torn on that one. I haven't been able

303
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: to figure out because I haven't been able to figure

304
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: out USC much. I thought they would snack wreckers and

305
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: the fact that they didn't was like pretty concerning to me.

306
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: I am to take real quick.

307
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Against the spread USC since COVID as a home team

308
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight and twenty three away from that cavernous the

309
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Gaelic Center. Yesky's been there, so yeah, just USC at

310
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: home is just like, ah, I'm not getting any home

311
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: court value. There when I met them.

312
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: There, Yep, agreed. I am going to take the road

313
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: to me. In the other matchup, though, I'm going to

314
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: take NC State. I think Brian Geisinger put out a

315
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: nice video. He's a big time acc writer about the

316
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: Quitirir Copland Darien Williams pick and roll, pick and pop.

317
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: That's kind of an putting teams in the torture chamber. Lately,

318
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: they've been playing really well, kind of sneakily because NC

319
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: State hasn't played that many great opponents of late. But

320
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: going back to that Clemson road win, they've really been

321
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: taking care of business four and oh against the spread

322
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: I believe over that span. So I kind of like

323
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: the way they're trending. I think the talent is there.

324
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: I always thought the roster fit was pretty strong, and

325
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: Wade actually has it coming together. That's another matchup where

326
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: SMU is probably not going to bully Hi Kai. You

327
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: mentioned Big Sammy inside. Maybe he's the key for unlocking

328
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: that interior defense of NC State, But I just think

329
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: they've got too many perimeter weapons. They can really light

330
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: it up from the perimeter, and I think that's gonna

331
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: be a fun guard battle, probably a very efficient game.

332
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: I would also lean towards the old.

333
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I agree there.

334
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: If it's minus one, pick them. I'm going to take

335
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: n C State smu.

336
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: Andy Enfield historical struggles against top fifty teams, and we

337
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: saw the second half against Louisville where they were winning

338
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: at halftime and.

339
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: Lost by fifteen. So I'm going to ride in C State.

340
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: Okay to the mid major games Week, Fellows, We've got

341
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: a huge one on Monday in the Southland, the rare

342
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: top one hundred matchup in the Southland Conference. McNeice going

343
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: on the road to Stephen F. Austin, who is a

344
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: program reborn under Brower the new coach, and McNeese still

345
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: has the remnants of the Will Wade era. Armstrong has

346
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: done a great job using the nil and stacking up

347
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: the roster. But Kyle right now, SFA is the team

348
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: atop the standings, So McNeice is giving chase while they're

349
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: on the road. Any thoughts for you in this one?

350
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: Two very good defensive teams. That's kind of what shapes

351
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: the matchup.

352
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, first game was very close, very low scoring, sixty

353
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: one possessions. SFA actually had mcneise on the ropes on

354
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: the road and the McNeice pulled away. SAVA struggled with turnovers,

355
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: and that's not surprising. Mcneice's defense is insane, number one

356
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: in the country in turnover rate forst they're athletic, they're

357
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: super long. Gary dwall From formerly of Seaton Hall and

358
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: formerly of Providence as well well. He's a demon on

359
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: the ball and very scary, especially in this league. I

360
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: lean towards mcnee's getting it done again, even though it's

361
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: at SFA, and I know SFA can kind of hang

362
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: with them physically. I just think this mcnee's team is

363
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: so darn talented matts, I'm leaning towards mcnee's. No official

364
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: play here.

365
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, another for me, I got some more takes him

366
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: on the valley and mac shin sing away, so yeah,

367
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: keep it rolling.

368
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a bet on this one. I

369
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: mean the defenses are both elite but different. As Kai mentioned,

370
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: the steals of McNeice like they will just take it

371
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: from you constantly, whereas SFA is built around Jared Colonel,

372
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: the massive shot blocker completely takes away the rim for them.

373
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: Their top twenty five in the country and two point

374
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: percentage defense. They lead the Southland in three point percentage defense,

375
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: two point percentage defense, and free throw defense, which obviously

376
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: is not in their control, but it's really hard to

377
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: score against them.

378
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: So that's another one.

379
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: Just like the first matchup I would anticipate in under

380
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a slug fest, slog

381
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: back and forth.

382
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: All right.

383
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: On Tuesday, Matthew, we've got Miami Ohio undefeated Miamo Ohio

384
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: headed on the road to Buffalo, who has unfortunately started.

385
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: To look more like the Buffalo we've come to know

386
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 3: and love under George Halkovich in league play.

387
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: They have now lost six of their last seven, despite

388
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: Daniel fry Tag being back healthy. Can they be the

389
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: one that finally stops the voodoo of Miami of Ohio

390
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: who has.

391
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: Continued to win.

392
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: They were down for much of the first half against

393
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois and then finished the game on a just

394
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: tear of a run in one by twenty four.

395
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: What do you think, Matthew in that matchup?

396
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: And I thought about it, but yeah, fried Tag was

397
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: like kind of off in that first game. He had

398
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: twenty two and eight assists, but he was one of

399
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: eight from the floor and two of six from one

400
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: of eight from two and two and six from three

401
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: kind of shocking. Like Miami's length isn't crazy long. I

402
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: think he has a better game here. I think him

403
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: back at home. Buffalo just feels like they're due. He

404
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: look the way their schedule was shaken out so front loaded.

405
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't think like they were a fraud. I

406
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: just think they caught a lot of really good upper

407
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: half Mac teams at a bad time. When you know

408
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Fried Tag was out for one game and was probably

409
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: not healthy the second third. And yeah, they probably pay

410
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: a little bit above their skis. This is the game

411
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I think they get them. I'm not gonna I don't

412
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna put my money run out this, but my

413
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: gut tells me this is the one where if you've

414
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: been on the Miami trying to fade them, pick off

415
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: the the undefeated, this feels like the time to do it.

416
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing with fire Miami four straight games. You

417
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: could argue they should have lost so the NAA game.

418
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 4: That game was tied with like ten minutes left and

419
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 4: before if they won my twenty four and I he

420
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 4: was winning I think by as much as like eight

421
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: or so in that game ten in the first halt

422
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 4: Ubass could have beaten them. Kent State probably should have.

423
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: At the very end, Buffalo should have beaten them. They're

424
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 4: up three to twelve seconds left against this team in Miami.

425
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 4: I think Buffalo gets it done.

426
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 3: Now.

427
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm worried about how easily Miami scored in the first game.

428
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: They shot sixty eight percent from two against Buffalo. There

429
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: wasn't really wasn't much of a fight there and Buffalo

430
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: had to shoot fifty percent from three d even keep

431
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: it close. But I think in Buffalo New York Gym

432
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: plus five for Kim Palm.

433
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to be on the bulls here. Wow, all right,

434
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: I love the audacity.

435
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: I've just been you know, I was on Kent State

436
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: in that game and they blow it in overtime and

437
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: don't get the cover. It's rather frustrating. Yes, and Miami

438
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 2: have just they just got a little bit of voodoo

439
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: to him right now. I do think like if they

440
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 2: lose one game, I think they'll lose two pretty quickly.

441
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: I think they've got this like cloak of invincibility on

442
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: right now that if suddenly that vanishes, I think it's

443
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: like a punch in the mouth that they'd be reeling

444
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: from a little bit, but they've found a way. Every

445
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: time Elmer makes big shots, Suitor makes big shots, Skaljack

446
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: has made some really big shots for them.

447
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: Taking better than him. Sorrow, It's like they almost better

448
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: with them out there.

449
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is staggering, not something I expected at all.

450
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: As Kai mentioned hyper efficient. In the first game, both

451
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: teams were one point two points for possession. North of that,

452
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 2: I did not expect Miami to play the defense they

453
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: did down the stretch against NIU, And now you had

454
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: eight points in the final thirteen minutes of that game, Like,

455
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: really tighten.

456
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 3: The screws there. That's why it turned into a blowout.

457
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm just still not sold on Miami. I'm not gonna

458
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: lay it. I would lean towards Buffalo. I hope Kai

459
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: gets to win. I've also got some acrid mac futures

460
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: that I just continue to root for against all hope

461
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: when Miami has the devil voodoo magic inside of them.

462
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: But I can keep praying.

463
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: I the only one I want to mention on Tuesday,

464
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 2: Nevada at Boise State. You know, both these teams are

465
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: kind of falling by the wayside in the Mountain West race.

466
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: They're well behind the top three. We don't have to

467
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: dwell on this game too.

468
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: Hanging Jim, they're a game back.

469
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: Okay, well fine, I don't think they're in the at

470
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: large picture.

471
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: But no, yeah, the Utah State, New Mexico, San Diego

472
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: State trum.

473
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: For it has been like really really good here. You're

474
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: right though, Nevada lingering just outside the top fifteen. Ken

475
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: pom Any take for you on this one, mister McCown.

476
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: As you stick up for the wolf.

477
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: Pack, No, I don't because I don't have any like

478
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 4: faith in them. Fourth, they handled Boise State in the

479
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: first game in Nevada, and they did it without Corey Camper,

480
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 4: who's been a really good player for them recently and

481
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: kind of part of their recent run. They'd beat bois

482
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: by fifteen, though, I and they got up by like

483
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: almost thirty in that game. This is not the same

484
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: Boissey team, Matt. This is the first year we've really

485
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: seen leon Rice stumble a bit. Obviously, they're still what

486
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: top sixty and kimpum so objectively, still a pretty good

487
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 4: year for Boise program for. We're used to seeing le

488
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: On Rice fight for at largest. This is this team

489
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 4: is just a little bit different.

490
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, guards are bad. They're just super unathletic, Like they're

491
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: long and they're big, but like you can see how

492
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: they've been demolished in some games, and even Rice has said,

493
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: like the margin frere for this team is really really thin.

494
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm probably not getting involved in this game. I can't

495
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: figure out Boise Nevada. I feel like I've been lucky

496
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: to win in a few bets, but then I was

497
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I guess all the horseshoe lodged up my my behind

498
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: after the the Grand Canyon game, but I feel like

499
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: I was owed that after San Diego State against Grant Canyon,

500
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: So maybe I guess I'm not even there. Just in general,

501
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the guard play this league is not great. I think

502
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: it creates a little bit more unexpected volatility in the results.

503
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: So it's been kind of a frustrating part with me

504
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: trying to bet some of these Mountain West games.

505
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: Nothing here, Jim, Yeah, I mean Boise like literally has

506
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: two guards and one of them is Netto the freshman

507
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: who isn't good. The other is Dylan Andrews, who mccronin

508
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: like drove.

509
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: Out of excited that he's not dropped him off.

510
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: On the side of the road. Yeah, exactly, so that

511
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: that's kind of hard to figure out. I think Boise

512
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: is more like the eightieth best team in the country.

513
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: They left big time after being air Force by forty

514
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: two in San Jose State by thirty one, and I

515
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: those have heavily influenced their analytical numbers. I think I'd

516
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: slightly leaned to Nevada, but I'm not gonna get involved there.

517
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: I think is their best team in this league. I'm

518
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: pretty convinced at that at this point.

519
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: No, they're not better than New Mexico.

520
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in New Mexico.

521
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: Come on, let's give Eric ole and his flowers. Ma man, Yeah,

522
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: I know you're right.

523
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's move into the next section. Live Dogs.

524
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: Where is mine? Oh?

525
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: Where is mine?

526
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: I had a tough time with this, but Maddie City's

527
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: got some Missouri Valley takes.

528
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: Hoefully he'll be Oliver.

529
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: There's one I quite like last week, Ablin Christian got

530
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: postponed due to weather, so a big fat push on

531
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: that one. Refund your money. Miszoo had no chance, but

532
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: I think we kind of sniffed that out and ended

533
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: up I was back in Alabama and.

534
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 3: Nowhere was there at Hell. Yeah, we didn't take it.

535
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: Ohio got blasted by Kent State. Georgia Tech did what

536
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech does. They hung around and U mass Man.

537
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: They almost got it done outright, as like fifteen point

538
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: dogs against Mallyam.

539
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 3: Ohio just could not quite get there.

540
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's more like ten, but they really

541
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: had every chance to win that out right. I didn't

542
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: find anything I liked on Monday. It's a lot of

543
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: the mix south Land games that just weren't really charming

544
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: to me. I don't trust Syracuse. Tuesday, I circled three

545
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: South Carolina plus eleven at Texas. I know the game

546
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: Cocks have played pretty poorly lately, losing to Thomas Liss LSU,

547
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: getting blown out by Florida, lost by forty seven at home,

548
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: but I think they can hang with Texas. And you

549
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: got the one I love, Matthew U s U see

550
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: who is cooking eight straight in the Valley.

551
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: They're going to Murray.

552
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: State, who has decided that they're actively boycotting playing defense

553
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: in recent games, which is an alarming trend. They've lost

554
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: four straight after being undefeated a top that league. And

555
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: then I also wrote down valpol plus five at Bradley

556
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: just Valpo a pretty competitive team under Roger Powell. Matt,

557
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: what are you thinking between these these Valley teams?

558
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: What you got on your docket?

559
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna u s is my first official play.

560
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go money. I'm curious what this spread open Kempom,

561
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: you said, has it You're six, right, it feels like

562
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: that's going to be maybe five. But man Murray's I

563
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: mean they analytically they've been they were rated a lot higher.

564
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: I think people were seems like that they were shaded

565
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: an extra point above like the Barton Kempom uh numbers.

566
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: But we talked about how big Elijah Crawford has been

567
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: and the fact that you soun realized that a. Mot

568
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Henderson's not that great and we're going to play Josia

569
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: Hammonds more in his spot and Crawford back and Johnson

570
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: the freshman's been great. The guy like Momo up front,

571
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: like kind of a real beast, like rinp Protector. They're

572
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna need some size, if not to guard Fred Kinginge

573
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: at least to combat and challenge Murray at the rim,

574
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: which is where they live. I mean, they're just so long.

575
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: It's weird because they can't translate that to defensive prowess.

576
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I like us. See their

577
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: name is keep rolling. I they on two close ones,

578
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: but I think they keep it flaming Kai.

579
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: Huge flaming Game one. They hung with Murray too in Chicago.

580
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 4: They led that game. But the thing about them, they

581
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 4: can go toe to toe on the glass with Murray State.

582
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: They're a really good offensive rebounding team and in that

583
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 4: first matchup they grabbed forty four percent of their missus.

584
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: Murray State did really well in the glass as well.

585
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: But it's nice to kind of fight fire with fire,

586
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: flame with flame in that one.

587
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: So I do like U. I see definitely in.

588
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 4: Towards Valpo in the other Missuri Valley game, Jim, they've

589
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: been just they don't they don't go away.

590
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: They're cockroaches.

591
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 4: They're tough dogs in this league, not winning a ton

592
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 4: of games, but they're hanging around and I know they're

593
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 4: off that Indiana State win.

594
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: And Bradley's not the typical Bradley.

595
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: Team that we've seen in the last couple of years,

596
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: the dominant sort we've seen in this league as far

597
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: as Texas goes, I always kind of like South Caroline

598
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: as a doblegenous dog in the SEC. And I don't

599
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: think Texas is a big favorite, but are a good

600
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 4: big favorite.

601
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: But man top ten this year in offense, we.

602
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: Realize that they're up in the top ten. And Kim

603
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 4: Palmon offense because of how good deal and Swaying has been.

604
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: He's been insane. And then Bokatitis, the best getting to

605
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 4: the line guy in the country. He just is an

606
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: absolutely unstoppable force getting to the bucket. Lean towards South Carolina,

607
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 4: UIC official play lean towards Valpo.

608
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna officially play u C too. Kay call

609
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: me Johnny Storm, because I'm gonna flame.

610
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: On flame on there we go.

611
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah here on New You'd be on board And Matt

612
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: would shake his head disgustedly at that comic reference.

613
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, well and yeah, U.

614
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: Se almost one that first game with Murray without Crawford,

615
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, figuring it out, Murray's defense looks like

616
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: a team that has been told too frequently to take

617
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: away the three point line and it's become the.

618
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: Expense of every.

619
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 2: Other part of playing defense. Like, well, I got him

620
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: off the three point line. I don't care that he

621
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: went and laid it in or dunked it and that

622
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: has really harmed them. I think USC is just trending

623
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: way up. I'm going to bet South Carolina on the

624
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: spread too. I know Swayin is amazing right now. I

625
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: think there's great a lot of people that want him

626
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: to enter the portal.

627
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: But then the.

628
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: NBA is like, wait a second, we want the six

629
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: to eight versatile guy that can score inside and out.

630
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: We'll take that guy. So he's gonna be a high

631
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: demand in the off season, I'm sure. But I think

632
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: South Carolina can hang around. As Kai mentioned the double

633
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: digit dog type of situation, they slow it down, they

634
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: play a little slower than a lot of those SEC teams,

635
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 2: and they're comfortable in that half court setting. So Cox

636
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: plus eleven, u C plus six take it down to five.

637
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going to live in that dog section.

638
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to favorite favorites boys. Last week Boise destroyed

639
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: San Jose State. Just bet everybody in that league against

640
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: San Jose State and air Force. I think you're gonna

641
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: come out on the right side.

642
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: I didn't think Fresno was going to do it, but

643
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: Fresno was like, nope, yep, we're gonna We're gonna add

644
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: to the pinata punching.

645
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, San Jose State is healthier.

646
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: That's a fair point, Matthew. Maybe focus your efforts on

647
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: fading the poor air troops. Arkansas only one by four

648
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma that pushed the ken pump spread. I think

649
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: it closed four and a half in the market. So

650
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: that was a disappointment there. West Virginia barely edged Kansas State.

651
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: In Virginia, I need a double overtime to beat Notre Dame.

652
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: That was rather surprising.

653
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: All right, Tuesday again, this is where I left too,

654
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: because I didn't love the Monday slate for the favorites.

655
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: But air Force is playing on Tuesday, Fellas, So why

656
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: are we not betting Grand Canyon minus twenty four, twenty five,

657
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: twenty seven, whatever they hand us, I'm gonna do it,

658
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: matt Are you going to join me?

659
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: Are you gonna you're gonna get on board?

660
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's on the card. I was just

661
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: trying to think what my strike is and like, obviously

662
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you can't be too strict, but there's a one thousand

663
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: percent chance whatever number this opens that it closes higher.

664
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: So get in early. I hate endorsing. What do we

665
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: call it? Be probably too explicit to say on this show,

666
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: but I don't then Dorset behavior COI betting early? But

667
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: this might be one way we have to break my role. Yes,

668
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: well yeah in this case, b.

669
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, no one knows.

670
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: I don't think we're talking about but uh, I'm gonna

671
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: take Grank Canyon. Yeah, because, like Jim say, I want

672
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: to eight straight games. Air Force is not covered in

673
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: this league. They started off to two and oh against

674
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: the spread. They are now two and eight against the

675
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: spread and conference play. They are losing by an average

676
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 4: margin of twenty five points per game. They are not

677
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 4: covering by an average of nine points per game. So

678
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: they're just getting slaughtered. They're getting slaughtered and not even

679
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 4: coming close to what the market's making it. I will

680
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: be on Grand Canyon. Jim, it's a good shot.

681
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm trying to think straight too. I was

682
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: thinking twenty seven. Now I'm looking at the.

683
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: Results and I might just call it thirty.

684
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: I mean thirty seven to Utah State, forty two to

685
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: New Mexico, fifteen to Nevada, Okay, hung around twenty nine

686
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: to Colorado State forty two to Boise State.

687
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: Like it's just if you're.

688
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: A competent team, you are going to name your number

689
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: against them, and you're just looking at like the spot

690
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: around Grand Canyon. Okay, they just beat Boise, but that

691
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: was by seventeen. I'm not worried about a look ahead

692
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: to UNLV. I think you get a strong enough effort

693
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: from them at home. They'll win by thirty in a

694
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: raucous environment, So I'll.

695
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: Write them there.

696
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of spots, San Diego State off a loss was

697
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: another one. I circled their minus eleven. They kind of

698
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: had a strong performance at Utah State, but we're not

699
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: able to hang on and win. I liked them off

700
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: a loss last game. After that, Grand Canyon won and

701
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: they took care of business at UNLV and then Kai

702
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: do we just keep riding Belmont? They're a freight train

703
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: right now, even without Nick McClain. They put up over

704
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: one hundred easily on Murray State. They're minus thirteen against

705
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: Drake to either of those two games.

706
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 4: Interest you a little bit? On Belmont, Yeah, they're a fireball.

707
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: I don't like laying doubles with San Diego State in

708
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 4: any case, so no thanks, on that one. Leaning towards Belmont, Jim,

709
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna leave it alone. Drake's a tough team

710
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 4: because they can get hot from three. They're very dangerous,

711
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 4: like they beat Murray by eleven and Drakes they were

712
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: just absolutely unconscious in that game.

713
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: So I'm sticking just a GC. You in the favorite

714
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: favorite section.

715
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, that's all I get. I hate ben favorites.

716
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I should do that more, but I'm just too scared.

717
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: It's more fun to bet favorites.

718
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Mat get on board a.

719
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Good persona to manifest for those out there who, like me,

720
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: liked to met the pups too often.

721
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, as the games reguesting like, oh yeah, I've bet

722
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: on the better team.

723
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: This is fun, but.

724
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: It'll get You're usually on the positive side of the fork.

725
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're the forker, that's right. Okay, let's go to

726
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: the spot section now, Fellas. Last week, Arizona State hung

727
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: with UCF after that cross country travel.

728
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: That was a tough one Providence.

729
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: We kind of went back and forth on whether that

730
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: was a good spot for Yukon or for Providence. The

731
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: Friars hung around with you kon of kept it close.

732
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: Alabama Torch Maszoo Like we sniffed that one out pretty

733
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: big time after Miszoo had the double buzzer beaters and

734
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: Georgia lost by one.

735
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: In ot that was a weird game.

736
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: I got moved to Wednesday from Tuesday after we discussed

737
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: it on this show. Maybe that threw something off. I

738
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: would have still back Georgia. I did back Georgia on

739
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: our best bets column on Action Network and I lost

740
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 2: that one disappointingly. But I would keep an eye on

741
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: weather spots On Monday. There's still storms and stuff across

742
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: the South where they're not great at clearing roads and

743
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: getting all that travel figured out, So keep an eye

744
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: out for those. But I have more circled on Tuesday. First,

745
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: you've got the Big East Showdown look Ahead Yukon at

746
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: Saint John's at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. De

747
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: paul Is plus nine is a home dog against Saint John's.

748
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: Xavier is plus eighteen at Yukon.

749
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: Both of those are.

750
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: Tuesday, so keep that one potentially in mind. And then

751
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: the flip side or related to that, is what we

752
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: mentioned with Duke unc coming up. Do you have the

753
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: stomach to take Boston College get somewhere between twenty five

754
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: and thirty points at Cameron Indoor with Duke potentially looking ahead,

755
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: And we also mentioned Syracuse against UNC on the other

756
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: side of that, Matthew, any of those four dogs with

757
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: the better teams looking ahead to massive top of conference tilts,

758
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: any of them appeal to you?

759
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I considered Boston College, but didn't

760
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: they They they're two in four, sorry, two and two

761
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: in their last four games. Like, they've objectively played pretty

762
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: competitive basketball for straight covers. And as I said preseason,

763
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: I know it is way too high on BC, but

764
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: they are like athletic ish, like they have some size

765
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: and their offense is putrid, right, But I think if

766
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: you have a chance of competing, it's dike. You have

767
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: to least built to compe athletically, and frankly like Virginia

768
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: Tech in many spots like was not. I think most

769
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: college actually has a better athletic makeup to defend Duke. Now,

770
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: can they score enough? I don't know, their point guard

771
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: plays a disaster, but maybe Duke comes in really sleepy.

772
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: You're right after that, you know, trip to Castle or

773
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: I thought they really controlled the game and they got

774
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: the big date up coming. I'm not gonna better.

775
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: This is the one.

776
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: I like the motion. I gave it a good, good

777
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: long look.

778
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: I de Paul intrigues me a little bit.

779
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 4: I have not been a Blue Demon all year, but well,

780
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: I can't they hang around with Saint John's. They did

781
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 4: pretty much in the first game at Saint John's cover

782
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 4: or handle them most of the way. But they're big enough,

783
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: athletic enough, tough enough on defense, and in Saint John's

784
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: with yeah, sure, a little look ahead to Paul's and.

785
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: My more competitive this year, so I leaned their way.

786
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: Yukon laying this many points to anybody right now is

787
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: a little bit intriguing. I'm not a Xavier fan whatsoever,

788
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 4: but the Huskies have not looked convincing. Creighton game aside that,

789
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: of course, is absolutely smashed Creighton after I say this,

790
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: But Seton Hall was close, Georgetown was closed, Nova was close,

791
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: Providence was close. Maybe the Creton game got them off

792
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 4: their back, but would lean towards Xavier there and then

793
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: Jim the eight tene is tough.

794
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: I want.

795
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm not fading slew ever, so you can throw that

796
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 4: one right out the window. But Dayton is a shell

797
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 4: of itself. The vibes are bad around that program. Vibes

798
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: are pretty bad around Bonaventure as well. They blew that

799
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: George Mason game. They were They did beat Duquesne, but

800
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 4: they got smashed by slew earlier than that would lean

801
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: their way against Dayton, But I don't have any strong

802
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 4: convictions there.

803
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, those those two A ten games you're mentioning Kai

804
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: with Dayton coming off the slacking at Saint Louis, they're

805
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: taken on Saint Bonaventure, but Dayton also has like look

806
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 2: ahead the aspects to VCU that it kind of feels

807
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: like a potential forced retirement with Anthony Grant, like the

808
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: fan bases, I think done with it. And yeah, Saint

809
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: Bonaventure man should have had that game against George Mason

810
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: final four minutes. My buddy Tim Murray was on Saint

811
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: Bonaventure and he was pretty bummed by that.

812
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: I think both of you were on George Mason, maybe

813
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: was on Mason. Yeah, fortunate so worked out better for

814
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: you guys. There.

815
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: Always nice to have one of those go your way.

816
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: The one I'm in the back of this entire group

817
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: for sure is to Paul Ky. You touched on at

818
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: the first meeting was like dead even in a lot of.

819
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: Key statistical categories.

820
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: Both teams shot the same thing from two Both teams

821
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 2: were pretty close to even on the glass. Thirty nine

822
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: to thirty five turnovers are just about even to Paul's

823
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: the number one turnover rate in league play. On offense,

824
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: they don't cough it up. I think that's big against

825
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: Sint John's pressure that was at Saint John's. I think

826
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: you get the sustainability of some of those key stats

827
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: to go with potentially the.

828
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: Saint John's look ahead. And I just somewhat.

829
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 2: Weirdly kind of trust to Paul to be feisty. Nine

830
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: points at home. I don't know exactly what.

831
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: One get at home undefeated conference, but I sorry, their

832
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: last four games at home they've won, and they've lost

833
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: their last four on the road and been mostly Yeah,

834
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: I think they're actually like a good home there's some

835
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: home use.

836
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 2: Only home Boss was Yukon and beats everybody in this conference.

837
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 4: So I don't want to be a correcting Karen here. Jim,

838
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: please do Paul dead last and turn of rate in

839
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: Big East play?

840
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah? Right, yeah, thank you. I was

841
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: looking at Saint John's.

842
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so that could be a problem.

843
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't turn over in the first meeting. It

844
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: was not a problem.

845
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: There.

846
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 3: We'll ride that.

847
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: I'm glad you corrected me, Kai, because we want to

848
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: give the people accurate information.

849
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: Always be a correcting Karen, if you if you catch me.

850
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, gun Blocker, You've got a couple of guys

851
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: that can take care of it. They play through their

852
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: bigs at times. I think they can hanle Saint John's

853
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: at least enough to keep it close. Maybe there's a

854
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: four cappening in that game. But we've seen both Saint

855
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: John's and Yukon play with their food a little bit

856
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: in this conference, and especially with that big winning at MSG,

857
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: I think there's there's something to be said. So I

858
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: will back to Blue Deevens not going to go ahead

859
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: with Xavier not going to take PC either. That's just

860
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: like dude can decide to win by forty if they

861
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: want to. But I will walk into Paul plus nine

862
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: any other dogs for you, guys, are spots that I

863
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,479
Speaker 2: didn't highlight that will go to you first.

864
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: Anyone's that I may have.

865
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: Missed or just you know, just did not fully break

866
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: down in the discussion.

867
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: I Will said this SLEW Davidson matchup, like, I think

868
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: Slou's gonna win. But that's like the one every A

869
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: ten coach is like, Yeah, Davidson is the one team

870
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: that's just tricky. They played differently. It's just a different

871
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: kind of prep. You get them on a you know,

872
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: a hot night and they are deep. Just a that's

873
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: a weird one. That one does worry me. I'm not

874
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna bet Davidson here, but that was the one I

875
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: did look at as well, Jim.

876
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: You want to stay in the A ten. Just intrigue.

877
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 4: How about for them being a little bit weirdly good

878
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 4: lately beating George.

879
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Washing, Mike mar What do you expect so that.

880
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: They're hosting VC and VCU has that same you know,

881
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 4: look ahead Dayton.

882
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: And Fordham's at home. Nine point dog.

883
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: They're physical, at least they can at least put up

884
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 4: a five defensively. Not sure they're ever score in this game,

885
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 4: but intrigued a bit by the rams.

886
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: There they Yeah, but I'm with you, kay, I'm not

887
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: a vcuy this year. I don't think we're a good.

888
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the one ergo year where Rose Hill gym

889
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: at Fordham was like a legitimately tough place to play,

890
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: Like every team that went there was like, oh my god,

891
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: when they actually have fans in there. Place is a

892
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: tough cracker box. And so VCU has got home home

893
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: at Fordham and then back home for Dayton. I could

894
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 2: see that one off trip up to NYC being like, really,

895
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: we got to go deal with Fordham, who's going to

896
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: be feisty and well coached, play really slowly offensively, make

897
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: us grind in the half court, which is not what

898
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: VC wants to do. Kay I kind of I kind

899
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: of buy that. It's a similar nine point angle to

900
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: the DePaul one. I think it's actually the same projected

901
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: score per Ken Pump, so spooky. I'm not going to

902
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 2: actually lock in for them, but I think if people

903
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: want to dive into that more and like.

904
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: That angle, it's it's worthwhile. It's got some merit to it.

905
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm glad here. Jacobs is a good ball player. I

906
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: saw that early. I saw the talent.

907
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 2: Matthew his chest on a Kira Jacobs. That's right, folks,

908
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: good job Matthew. See Hawaii transfer Mathias.

909
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a remember he played, he had a really

910
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: good game. That's UNC two years ago as a freshman

911
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: and in concerned jo a pumpkin and I forgot about him,

912
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: and Magpile recruited him because they have Filipino ties or something.

913
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: There. You go, right, you watched the right game, get

914
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: the good scout and it pays off two years later

915
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: down the road.

916
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to our.

917
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: Last section before we recap all of our bets, and

918
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: that is the trash checktion.

919
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: What's that smell it? Diggs me? This trash, the sweet

920
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 3: sweet trash. The trash is a gold.

921
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: Mine, old mine. We have not been locking in a

922
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: lot of wagers on this section. We have correctly identified

923
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: ugly games. So last week we had a very trashy

924
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: performance between stone Hill and Central Connecticut game that ended

925
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: sixty one to fifty nine. I went with Canacius in Niagara.

926
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: That the kind of dregs of the mac. They're barely

927
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: better than Ryder. Kai, who I know you are have

928
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: a soft spot for Yeah. These two teams are combined

929
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 2: five and seventeen in the Metro Atlantic. They're both sub

930
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: three forty at ken Pum it is a one point spread, Kai,

931
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: can you talk yourself into either the Golden Griffins or

932
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: the Purple Eagles, and a very colorful matchup.

933
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: Gosh, well, I can tell you about matchup one. It

934
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 4: was fifty eight possessions, Jim, so you chose a good one,

935
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: and it was one hundred and three d I'm sorry,

936
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirteen total points. So not not a

937
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: good game to watch. Teams combined for eleven for thirty

938
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 4: eight from three. It was ugly.

939
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: Both teams are kind of drawn dead.

940
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 4: I would say Canecious is being more competitive in league play,

941
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 4: but this is a crapshoot of a league, like any

942
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 4: team any given Nike can cover. I guess Niagara has

943
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 4: been a little more feist than I thought too. I'll

944
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 4: leave Niagara at home here getting a sweep over Canecious.

945
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 4: Matthew I like Canisius digs best players out.

946
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: Again today they okay, that seems important.

947
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: Forty six points against Marist, forty six against Maris's events

948
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: is pretty good. And canisi is also down their point

949
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: guard who they got back, Marcus Snye Black, who got

950
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: kicked off with like his fifth team in five years,

951
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: and so now they're just trotting out Kai. Your boy,

952
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: what's his name.

953
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 3: Who's my boy? Uh boy, I'm.

954
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't who was out? So he's been out to

955
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: like take the under in this game. I don't bet

956
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: this is an under for me. This is like a

957
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: keep it simple soup. I forgot he's they have no

958
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: point guard. There's no point guards in this game.

959
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 4: Kim Pom projects at one twenty six, and that does

960
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: feel high for these two teams.

961
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: It's Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. It's three and five,

962
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: I believe for both or that just for no. Yeah,

963
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: it's three and five under great calling, guys.

964
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: Good it is the trash.

965
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: That's as Kai mentioned, fifty eight possessions, which would be below

966
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: the Ken Pom projection of sixty. The first meeting had

967
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: fifty eight, so if they keep on that trend, I

968
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: would definitely lean that underway as well. That's kind of

969
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: what we expect out of the trash game. If we

970
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: don't find shootouts for the trash, that wouldn't be quite

971
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: as trashy. Well, all right, fellas, that's it. Let's recap,

972
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 2: rack up, recap our picks. I've got a big slate,

973
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: per usual, that's my my norm on this show. I

974
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: got Texas Tech at that minus four and a half.

975
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: On Monday night, NC State somewhere around minus one. I

976
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: think i'd live up to two on the road at SMU.

977
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 3: I think we'll wake.

978
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: Gets done, going to take McNeice on the road to

979
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: get to sweep in the Southland, South Carolina and u

980
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 2: s as dogs not gonna sprinkle the money line, but

981
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 2: South Carolina hopefully getting double digits. UICE down to five

982
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 2: against Murray State Grand Canyon, laying up to I think

983
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: I said thirty. Yeah, I guess I'll stay up to

984
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 2: thirty against the air Force and then to Paul Home

985
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: Dog plus nine with that look ahead spot potentially for

986
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: Saint John's Matthew, I'm gonna go to you next.

987
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: What's your what's your card for the week?

988
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had UIC as my only official I'm going

989
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: to add one more and I think think it's got

990
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: to be I gotta get seven. Anything below seven, I

991
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't touch it. I like the Sulukies going on the

992
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: road to Illinois States. They got second game. I think

993
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: House played, he's played two in a row. They might

994
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: get Stafford back for that game, but I just think

995
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: it's a good little revenge spot for those Sluki team

996
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: who I think has had some bad luck, really bad

997
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: endgame stuff, and there they're competing. I like them as

998
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: a dog for sure in this spot against you pretty

999
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: clear rival. I gotta have a game. You lose this

1000
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: one and you're flirting with the Doomsday Thursday entry slot

1001
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: into the arch madness. So I like, selukis here too

1002
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: tight for me? In game one they led by twelve.

1003
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 4: Princelyba was out that game, so there's there's presence Somem

1004
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: hanging around there against the Redbirds five pack for me

1005
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 4: SMU against. Since the States Gemini are head to head

1006
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: Indiana to head Indiana against USC, I think who's just

1007
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 4: keep it rolling. I'm taking Buffalo against the spread against

1008
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 4: my Ohio team that's played with Fire four straight games

1009
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 4: U U C. Speaking of Fire, I'm taking them as

1010
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: well against Murray State and Grand Canyon to complete Air

1011
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: Forces ninth straight non cover.

1012
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: Matt, you're a coward for not fading air Force. How

1013
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: dare you?

1014
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, air Force?

1015
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's like I'm for good one. Yeah, great Cane, Sorry,

1016
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: thank you, there we go.

1017
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: It just takes a little gentle bullying folks.

1018
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all.

1019
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: You got to remember bully to be a bully.

1020
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: That's right, good, that's right, all right. Well, oh yeah,

1021
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 3: last week, I guess we could recapital quick.

1022
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: I was four and three, Kyle's three to two and one.

1023
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: That was two and one.

1024
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: So hey, we'll take it. Just you never go broke.

1025
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: Take in a profit, folks. Just if you can be

1026
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 2: above five hundred, you're a happy, happy gambler.

1027
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 3: So is what we're hoping to do.

1028
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: That's you Ken.

1029
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: How about that, Jeff, You went for it and he

1030
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: delivered and then they kind of rolled over the game

1031
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 2: after over the weekend, which was sort of expected.

1032
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 3: That's it for us. Yeah, not a good Big East team.

1033
