Did I say that? I know if 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: I said that. But we've got obviously a laundry list 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: of things to bettle on over the next couple of 18 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: days with the World Baseball Classic and the NBA and 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: everything else, so college basketball kind of gets shuffled through 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: and it's you know, we went two and oh yesterday 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: on the Daily Juice in college basketball but this is 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: a chance just to focus on the college ranks and 23 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: not be influenced by anything else. Again, just to reminder, 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 2: these plays do not factor into the official plays on 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: the Daily Juice.

Okay, let's start 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: with Alabama and Georgia in the SEC coming up here 63 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: for tonight this game, It's gonna be a lot of fun. Now, 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: kenpom has this as a high scoring game. Kempom has 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: this game going ninety two to ninety one. Now that's 66 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: one eighty three. The current number is one seventy nine. 67 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying kempom is the the the gold standard, 68 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: but I'm surprised that the total for this game is 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: only at one seventy nine and a half. Alabama is 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: eight five and one this year to the over on 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: the road, and while they're just eight seven and one 72 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: over all in the SEC, George's ten and seven to 73 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: the over at home. And both these tea teams looked 74 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: to play fast. The last four games before the home 75 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: game against South Carolina for Georgia all went over seven 76 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: and a half. It went over against Oklahoma, two and 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: a half, went over against Kentucky seven and a half. 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: In the last home game before the South Carolina game 79 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: against Texas in four and a half against Vanderbilt. They 80 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: beat South Carolina eighty seven sixty eight and it only 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: went under by three and a half points, and that 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: was a blowout. So Georgia scoring eighty seven, eighty ninety one, 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: eighty six seventy eight. Okay, they're scoring and they're playing 84 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: up tempo. We know what Bama does. They run in 85 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: a jack threes right on the road. Against Tennessee, the 86 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: game went way under, but that's because of how the 87 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: balls play, right. We took Alabama to win that game. 88 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: We put the points in on the money line. Alabama 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 2: won the game outright over the weekend in Knoxville. But 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: before that against Psissippi State, the game went under by 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: a gate by one and a half points at one 92 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: seventy six and a half because they won the game 93 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: one hundred to seventy five blowouts of the death of overs. 94 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 2: But the last road game before the Tennessee game against 95 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: LSU ninety eighty three, the win for Alabama went over 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: by one and a half points. They crushed in double 97 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: overtime against Arkansas, they crushed the total. It flew over 98 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: by forty eight points, but that was in double overtime. 99 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: Against Ole Miss it was won sixty three. Alabama scored 100 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: ninety three points in the game went over by four points. 101 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: Alabama average possession length on offense seventh quickest in the country. 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: Georgia their twelfth quickest in the country. Defensively, Georgia will 103 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: make you work a little bit more than Bama will defensively. 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 2: It's seventeen point five seconds average possession length for Georgia 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: on defense. That's one hundred and eighty ninth, but Alabama's 106 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: fiftieth at sixteen point nine. They want to go up 107 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: and down. Alabama shoots, Alabama scores. This is a Nate 108 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: Oates offense. We know what they do. But what's been 109 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: interesting about Georgia this year and every year is different, 110 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: but Mike White's team has been scoring. Mike white team, 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: you know, in terms of offensive efficiency, teenth in the 112 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: country in offensive efficiency at Georgia. They're fifty ninth in 113 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: effective field goal percentage. They don't shoot a lot of threes, 114 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: which is kind of a bummer because you know, obviously 115 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: when you bet overs you want to have three point 116 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: shooting come into play. But two point shooting. They're twenty 117 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: six in the country with two point shooting. So Alabama's 118 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: not known for their defense, but they haven't been awful 119 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: this year. They're fifty ninth in effective in defensive efficiency, 120 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: they're fifty fourth in defensive effective field goal percentage one 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: hundred and first in three point defense. Again, Georgia doesn't 122 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: shoot the three very well, but forty seventh in two 123 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 2: point defense. Georgia is top twenty six in the country 124 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: in that category. Alabama is thirty second, and they're fifty 125 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: ninth in three point shooting. Alabama gets forty one point 126 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: nine percent of their offense from behind the three point 127 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: line if they hit their threes. This game's going over. 128 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: The number is tricky. The number is either one or 129 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: pick them, which is a little bit surprising. Okay, just 130 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: giving them way. George's played at home. I think Alabama 131 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: wins the game. I do, but I'm a little bit 132 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: skeptical and a little bit nervous about fading home teams 133 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: here in college basketball late in the season in March, 134 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: especially for a game that Georgia needs. Alabama's been playing 135 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: really well, but they're twelve and sixteen ats on the year. 136 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: They have covered their last two games. 137 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know. 138 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: I'm I mean, I'm a little bit second straight road 139 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: game for Alabama, they've been at Tennessee. Eh, I don't know. 140 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 2: Home win over South Carolina for Georgia. I don't feel 141 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 2: great about the side. I feel much better about the total. 142 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: I want to come in here and we're going to 143 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: jump in and we're going to go Alabama at Georgia 144 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: over one seventy nine at minus one ten. Here we're 145 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: jumping in with the tide and offense. I like Alabama, 146 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: I do, but I like the over more over one 147 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: seventy nine and a half. Let's go out west here 148 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: where I live in the western part of the country 149 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: with Nebraska and Ucla. Hoscars are twenty four, sorry, twenty 150 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: five and four on the year. UCLA is nineteen and ten. 151 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: This number equally is somewhat confusing because it was minus 152 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: one and there's been money come in on UCLA, and 153 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: I have a hard time understanding it. Kem Pom has 154 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: it as a two point win for Nebraska at seventy 155 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: two to seventy, and the thought is that Nebraska's offense 156 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: is going to be stagnated by this defense for UCLA. 157 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: But on paper, UCLA's defense is not great. I get it, 158 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: it's Polyavilion, I get all the history. But you've got 159 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 2: a team that in UCLA they are two hundred and 160 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: forty fourth in two point defense. Alabama is twenty first 161 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: in the country in two point defense. I mean the 162 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: handicap kind of comes down just to that. I don't 163 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: think UCLA is going to be able to stop Nebraska. 164 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: And what's wild, the Huskers on the road this year 165 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: are tremendous. They're nine to three ats on the road 166 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: after beating USC by fifteen points. That's the game that 167 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: got everyone's attention. When Chad Baker Mazzara got hurt, sat 168 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 2: in the crowd. Eventually UCLA kicked him off the team. 169 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: There's a lot of turmoil going around with UCLA and 170 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: maybe you say there's a dead cat bounce and you 171 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: know Chad Baker mazar is out, so the team's going 172 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: to rally. 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: But I just don't think that's the case. 174 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: I think Nebraska's got more talent and frankly, they need 175 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: this game as much as anybody. Huskers are set sixteen 176 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: to twelve and one ats. 177 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: Nine of those. 178 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: Sixteen covers have come on the road, so they're a 179 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: better team away from home than they are in Lincoln. 180 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: And there are eleven six and one in the Big 181 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: Ten this season, while UCLA is just seven to ten 182 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: in one ATS this year in conference play. I just 183 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: think Nebraska's offense is going to take advantage of a 184 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: team that looks to take away the three point line, 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: but that's not the Huskers. I mean, they do get 186 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: forty one percent of their offense from behind the arc, 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: so yes, it is a very big and important part 188 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: of the Huskers offense. But the two point game I 189 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: think comes into play majorly here. 190 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: I think bamus. 191 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I think Nebraska' scored in the interior and 192 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: on the flip side, the Husker defense is sneaky good. 193 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: I mean their fifth and defensive efficiency, they're twenty third 194 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: and defensive effective field goal percentage, they're tenth and three 195 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: point defense, and they're ninety second and two point defense. 196 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: UCLA does shoot. 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: Threes well, but only thirty percent of their offense come 198 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: from behind the arc, so they're very kind of you 199 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: know that they don't rely on the three point shot 200 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: all that much. I know it's a late night game 201 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: eleven PM on the East Coast for you guys, but 202 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: bet it and forget it and hopefully you guys wake. 203 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Up to a victory here. I'm not gonna overthink this. 204 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: I'm just going to come in and I'm taking the 205 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: Huskers on the money line, Nebraska to win. If you're 206 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: giving me a money line play here. I'm taking Nebraska 207 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: on the money line Nebraska minus one, Huskers to win 208 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: on the road at Ucla to complete the USC and 209 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: UCLA double double. 210 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: For the Huskers to come. 211 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: In and get a w hard Rock Bet of the 212 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: day before we get out of here.

We take a look at a game 225 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: out here involving a school that I am pretty close to, 226 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: with Utah State and UNLV. I have not bet much 227 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: with you and LV this year with Josh Passner's club 228 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: because I haven't been all that impressed. Utah State is 229 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: first in the Mountain West. They're twenty four and five. 230 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 2: UNLV is fifteen and fourteen, and frankly, it's been a 231 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: little bit of a disappointing year here for a coach 232 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: that people including myself, had really high hope for this season, 233 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: thinking they were going to have a really big year. 234 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 2: The talent just really hasn't been there. However, we have 235 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: seen UNLV lately start to turn a corner. UNLV in 236 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: their last game against Nevada, they win the game at 237 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: home as home dogs are catching one and a half. 238 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: They hit a shot at the buzzer. 239 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: Now that was after a Grand Canyon loss by thirteen 240 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: where they did not cover, but they were on the road. 241 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 2: They covered against Air Force. They were laying sixteen and 242 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: a half and they won the game by twenty five points. 243 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: They played Utah State. 244 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: On the road earlier this year they were catching fifteen 245 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: and they lost by ten. Now you have a Utah 246 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: State team that hasn't covered in their last three games, 247 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: and they're starting to get a little bit this time 248 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: of the year, you start to feel pressure. Utah State 249 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: lost to Nevada on the road eighty seventy seven. Same 250 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: Nevada team U and LV just beat they lost to 251 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: San Diego State nine to seventy two. They turned around, 252 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: they beat Grand Canyon at home seventy four to sixty nine. 253 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: But now they go right back on the road to 254 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: play a U and LV team that's catching eight points 255 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: at home. These are games you start to worry about 256 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: because Utah State out of the Mountain West Conference. This 257 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: is most likely a small one two three big league 258 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: maximum right to start worrying about your resume a little bit. 259 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: You start worrying, people start to pay attention. Well, wait 260 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: a minute, you're going to be a tournament team. You 261 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,599 Speaker 2: start getting everybody's best shot. UNLV is not going anywhere 262 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: but home crowd, home environment, and a chance for UNLV 263 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: on Senior Day at Senior Night tonights, this is the 264 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: last home game of the year. You're going to have 265 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: a lot of extra motivationism, extra juice in this building. 266 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: U and LV lost by ten earlier on the road. 267 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: They're now eight point dogs at home. Give me a 268 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: home dog in March here with nothing to play for 269 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: and a motivator. I mean, Josh Passner is a motivator, 270 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: and I think he's going to have the rebels ready 271 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: to go. I think Utah State wins the game, but 272 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: I think they're going to get pushed. I think they're 273 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: going to be all the way to the end here. 274 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: I think it comes down to the wire and I'll 275 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: take you and LV plus the points here to cover 276 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: the eight at home against Utah State. We're taking the 277 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: Running Rebels plus eight at home tonight for our hard 278 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: rock bet of the day up against Utah State. 279 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: Again. 280 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: It's another late night game, but it's a big game 281 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: here or I am in Las Vegas, so plays for 282 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: today U and LV plus eight up against Utah State tonight. 283 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: We're going Alabama at Georgia over one seventy nine and 284 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: a half and I'm taking the Huskers in Nebraska on 285 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: the road money line at UCLA that should be minus 286 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: one oh five minus one ten somewhere in that neighborhood 287 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: for you coming up here for today, three games good 288 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: college basketball Slate, enjoy it.
