00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: Spreading the court ten seconds of maining, so it just

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: goes throw up to the basket, under the basket.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,720

00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: one from the parking lot. What's up the generation? Welcome

00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: weekend college basketball betting Preview. I'm stucky joining me as

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: always on every Thursday, my fellow BBOC co hosts Mike

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Calabreys and Greg Wadell. We will get to some weekend looks.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: As always, we will talk the good and the bad

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: from the week that was, and we will add a

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: future to our portfolio shortly. So let's start dive right in, gentlemen,

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: and start with the good. Let's get a start positive,

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: as we always do. Greg, I'll throw it to you

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: anything or anywhere you want to go from the week

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: there was.

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: I want to put some shot on the role players

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: for a couple I think national title contenders right now,

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 3: because I feel like the national step back broad picture

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: this season has been Gi Broom, How awesome Auburn is?

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag, how awesome? Duke is brooms out, Auburn still

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: looks great. I think Mike's about to speak to a

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: role player on Auburn that fits the mold of this.

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: But two that I have my eye on as teams

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: that can truly win six in March or Alabama and

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: Iowa State. And when you think those teams, normally you

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: think Mark Sears, Grant Nelson, Normally you think Taman Livsei,

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: Keyshawn Gilbert. But these teams are deep with guys that

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: can be the best player any given night. Alabama had

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: Muhammed Diubat and Aiden Holloway both go for twenty two

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: in their win over Vanderbilt. Well Iowa State following that

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: loss to West Virginia, Joshua Jefferson comes out with thirty points,

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals. I mean, that

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: may have been the most stellar singular player line that

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: I've seen all season. It's a good reminder that while

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: the superstars drive the sport, especially at the very top,

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: there's a couple of teams that go five or six

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: deep with just absolute star role players that any given

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: knight can pop off and beat you.

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: You want to follow up.

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: On that, Mike, Yeah, just in terms of what Auburn has.

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean that we already knew they were a deep team,

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: but to hot Pettiford, when he has more of an opportunity,

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: more usage, more minutes, I just want to give him

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: this moment to say that I think he could be

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the difference for them in March if he can bottle

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: some of this experience right now, because with Room on

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the shelf, as I said, more times than not, he

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: has the ball in his hand in critical situations. Without

52
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: his twenty four points on just thirteen shots, by the way,

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they escape Athens with that win. And

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: I think this is really the kind of opportunity for

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: a team that there's a lot of mouths defeat, to

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: be honest, I mean they have even with Broom on

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: the bench, there's still so many options on the perimeter.

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: So for him to get more time to kind of cook,

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: to kind of feel more comfortable with the ball, being

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: both a playmaker, facilitator and someone would certainly get his

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: own shot. He has, Like I always kind of bristle

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: at the comparisons any legends, but like he's got a

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: little bit of Iverson in him, the Georgetown Iverson where

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: he's so quick with that first step, he's able to

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: generate his own shot. He can, you know, hit from

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: anywhere inside of thirty feet. So I really like the guy.

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting that I guess I would put it

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to you, guys, how many games can allburn lose with

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Broom out as long as they play well and zero

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: changes for you in terms of their overall ceiling. For me,

71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: what I've seen so far, I could see them drop

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: two games in the next month before he's back, and

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it.

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: I think they have answers for days.

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: And I like what Pearl's done with his coaching staff

76
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: as well to be able to cook up custom game

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: plans for who he's playing. In the rugged SEC, you think,

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Greg in terms of you know the at any point

79
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: with every alarm bells going off.

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: For you, if there are multiple losses with Brum on

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: the shelf.

82
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: I really don't think so, at least to the heavyweights

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: of the SEC.

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: No.

85
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see what they do against Tennessee at

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: home this weekend. But Auburt's been so good as a

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: program at home going back to the last five years,

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: I think three of five seasons they have one or

89
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: less loss at home. So, man, this team, like you said,

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: is so deep, so talented. Petiford, by the way, I

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: was looking up his Ken Pond player cops the most

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: similar efficiency season to what he's doing this year is

93
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: Carson Edwards at Purdue, and I'm like, yeah, I feel

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: like I have seen this before. Like that's a guy

95
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: who led that team to New Heights in March. So

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I don't expect this Auburn team to

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: hit a blip at all here.

98
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as Broom goes back healthy, my mind's

99
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: not going to change at all. I do think that

100
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: their offense takes a hit without Broom, and they're rebounding

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: as well. I mean, I know they've won both games

102
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: without Broom, but Mississippi State, you know, was three of

103
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: twenty four from three that was in Auburn, and then

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: the Georgia game, I mean they shoot forty three from

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: three Georgia, and this is the problem for Georgia. By

106
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: the way, their free throws Georgia horrendous. From the line

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: that if they get into the tournament, I think they

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: project maybe as an eight nine right now. Free throws

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: for them and just bad turnovers are an issue. But

110
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: I do think because I think that in that game,

111
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: Georgia basically stayed in it with rebounding and Newell inside,

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: and I think with Cardwell, I mean, I know Cardwell

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: went out in that game with an injury, which hurts,

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: but with him their defense still is fine at the rim.

115
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Obviously their depth takes a bit of a hit. I

116
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: don't think their offense is as good, and then the

117
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: rebounding takes a little bit of a hit. But as

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: long as Broom comes back, yeah, they're They're Tier A

119
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: for sure. As far as my good I got to

120
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: give credit to arrival in the state Louisville for what

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: they do. I know the a CEC is down, but

122
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: you know, I thought Keishan Pryor was pretty important to

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: what Louisville wanted to do. Obviously, I lost tim. They

124
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: had that game against Eastern Kentucky at home where they

125
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: went by two, and I'm like, this team is teetering.

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: And since that game they've won eight in a row.

127
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: And I know the ACC is down, but they beat

128
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: Clemson North Carolina pitt and then they go to SMU

129
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: and completely wax them. Chucky Hepburn had sixteen assists. Rain

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Smith had ten threes. So I got to give a

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: lot of credit to Pat Kelcey and they, I mean

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: looking at their schedule. I mean, I know I saw

133
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: this week today that like on Kempound, they projected to

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: win the rest of their games. There's no Duke left

135
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: on the schedule. It's Wake at home and Georgia Tech, BC, Miami,

136
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: NC State, Notre Dame, Florida State, VA Tech, Hit at home,

137
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: PL Stanford. This is a team that's probably going to

138
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: rack up some wins. And so I'm impressed with with

139
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey has done, especially with a short handed roster,

140
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: compared to what he was expecting.

141
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: On that point, real quick, just based on when you

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: look at their schedule, the top teams they played, they

143
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: had some hard fought losses, but they lost those games.

144
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: And when the schedule that you just laid out in

145
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the ACC, say they go and they win all but

146
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: one for the regular season and they make it to

147
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: let's say the AEC title game and lose to Duke,

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: how like, essentially, where do you think the committee is

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: going to put them? Because yes, it's impressive stacking these wins,

150
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: but I think the ACC, the committee at least will

151
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of share public perception that it's not in the

152
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: same class as the Big ten, as the SEC, as

153
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. So do you think they're ceiling is

154
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: A two?

155
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: A three?

156
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, not too no. I mean if

157
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: they did that, you might get them. So, I mean

158
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: you're talking what seven losses on the air, you're saying, yeah,

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: not ACC champion ceiling, Probably four, I would say, but

160
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: maybe a more realistic spot for them to land up

161
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: is end. I'm sure they might drop, like, let's see,

162
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: I could see them dropping a couple more games, but

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: I think that they're like probably safe to get a

164
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: five or six seed as long as they don't implode.

165
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think they have the upside of

166
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: like a two or three because just of the rest

167
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: of their schedule and how down the ACC is.

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: Feels like a terrifying four seed, Like whatever one seed

169
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: gets them is going to be absolutely petrified because they

170
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: shoot so many threes.

171
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: It's like, what are you even supposed to do with that?

172
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: You know?

173
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: Yep, let's get to the bad.

174
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Remember this is a safe space. You know what pisses

175
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: me off most of all?

176
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 4: Okay, you're ranting now, baby.

177
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: I'm run.

178
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: Why not?

179
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: You've got to let it out.

180
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: Somehow, I mean low hanging fruit. We talked about this

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: in the last podcast. Tanner tried to entertain the fact

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: of maybe back in Miami at Stanford, I said, absolutely not.

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to catch that night. They lost by

184
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: thirty seven. Miami is in complete free fall mode. I

185
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: don't know when you can vet them. It's bad. It's

186
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: bad as bad as it gets for a power conference team.

187
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: To think the money that was put into that team

188
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: as well. I'm also going to throw the bat out

189
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: there is Nebraska. They're in trouble that you can't lose

190
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: that game to USC. I thought it was a pretty

191
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: good matchup and spot for them. They've now dropped five

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: in a row, and they weren't in previous years. Nebraska

193
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: at home in Big Ten play could rely on that

194
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: and against USC, and Nebraska always could get three point

195
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: variance with the way that they play. That wasn't the

196
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: case here. USC went six of twenty one at twenty

197
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: eight percent from three. I mean, Nebraska's in real trouble

198
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: here because we know that it isn't a team that's

199
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: very reliable on the road. They now go to Wisconsin

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: home against Illinois at Oregon in about a week, they

201
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: could be on the outside looking in. I think as

202
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: of right now they're probably out. And I don't know.

203
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: Two three weeks ago, after that win over UCLA at home,

204
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: I would not have said thought that we'd be here.

205
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: You know, some bad losses, losing the Rutgers at home,

206
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: USC at home, lose at Iowa not great for Hoiberg

207
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: and company. Greg where you want to go? Yeah, I'm

208
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: going to stay in the Big Ten.

209
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: If anybody watched Illinois Michigan staying over the weekend, they

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: know that it was historically poorly officiated.

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: From the game.

212
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: Conspiracy akashonas was found out in eight and a half

213
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: minutes on the floor, and at least two maybe two

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: and a half of those where just phantom calls where

215
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: there's minimal incidental contact. Now I think the internet has

216
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: rightly taken that to task here and Illinois battled and

217
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: lost a game by two in which they had to

218
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: overcome a lot of adversity. So I get it. But

219
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: we're four days after this contest fellas, Illinois is three

220
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: games back in the Big Ten standings from a Michigan

221
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: State team that the entire internet has decided is worse

222
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: than Illinois, has less talent than Illinois, but beat Illinois,

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: and Brad Underwood is still focused on the calls. He's

224
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: at his media availability in the middle of the week

225
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: saying he's petitioning the league and they agree that they've

226
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: never seen a star knock get as many calls as

227
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: Ya Kashonis. I don't know what they're still doing on this.

228
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: I get it, you got to go to bat for

229
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: your players, but like, also watch the tape. Casparis is

230
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: an extremely foul prone player. He's lazy, he's handsy, he

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: doesn't move his feet. The fifth fould that after he

232
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: already had four and it's sat the whole game, he's

233
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: jumping at a defender with his arm around the waist.

234
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm taking crazy pills on this.

235
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: The fifth was the fourth was ridiculous.

236
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: Though the fourth was ridiculous, but given the ridiculousness, maybe

237
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 3: don't jump in a Frankie Fiddler pup fake with seven

238
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: minutes left, and I just I feel like I'm lost,

239
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: because the national media narrative coming out of that loss

240
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: was I actually feel so much better about Illinois. I

241
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 3: think that is ludicrous, and I understand the logic behind it,

242
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: but they are thirteen and five. At a certain point.

243
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't care what your ceiling is if you can't

244
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: play to it consistently. They're one and two in their

245
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: last three games. One yes, without Yakashonas, but they have

246
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: more than enough talent to win a game against USC

247
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: at home. We've seen this team with a healthy Yakashonas

248
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: lose to Northwestern because they have two guys that can't

249
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: guard anybody one on one and Brooks Barnheim's just killed

250
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: them in that matchup. We saw them lose to Tennessee

251
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: at home. That's a win you would have loved to

252
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: have because Cosparis made a bunch of mistakes late. I

253
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: feel like we've seen this team lose five games, five

254
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: different ways, and all anybody wants to talk about is well,

255
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: their ceiling is so high. I'm impressed anyway. I want

256
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 3: to see this team back it up. I want to

257
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: see Brad Underwood focus play to your ceiling two straight games,

258
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 3: not once every three, and maybe that can start at

259
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 3: the time of this recording. On Thursday night against Maryland

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: at the State Farm Center.

261
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: Greg, I'm glad you're not a part of our college

262
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: football coverage because hypothetical SEC matchups that's all we do

263
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: in college football world. You know, if you put Alabama

264
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: on a neutral field with you know, some good calls

265
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: and the flags going their way, they got too much talent.

266
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: They're just gonna win the national title. That's what we

267
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: did for four months. So yeah, I mean, I'm kind

268
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: of with you on Illinois, although I'm going to put

269
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: you on the spot here, brand new pala cleanser, brand

270
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: new officiating crew, neutral floor. What do you make the

271
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: spread at Illinois against Michigan State in a rematch.

272
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: In Illinois minus six and a half?

273
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: Okay, there we go.

274
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel like you did a really good

275
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: job arguing the one side that you had there. I

276
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: feel like this is high school debate. You can just

277
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: flip around and argue the other side. But I'm kind

278
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: of with you. I do think Underwood had to go

279
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: to go to bat for his players, and I think

280
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: that's kind of what he's doing, which is the opposite.

281
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: Of what Cronin and Hurley have been doing lately.

282
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: But it is a little bit kind of ridiculous to

283
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: be doing it this many days after the game six six.

284
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: And a half. That's a lot of you just went

285
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: disrespect card in Illinois. I mean I'm at like Illinois

286
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: minus four full strength regular rests and oh that on

287
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: a neutral eight. Hold on, let me see, I'll tell

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: you right now three and a half. Who three and

289
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: a half on a neutral I mean six, and I

290
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: would be like six and a half at Illinois. You know,

291
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: I basically had it as like a pick on Sunday

292
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: and I missed the opener. I'm glad I didn't bet

293
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: it late. Oh, Any any worry with did you see

294
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: any because we were kind of questioning Perdue. I know

295
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: you're really in tuned Greg with the big ten. I

296
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: was impressed with their win at Oregon and then they

297
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: come home and they were looked like they were about

298
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: the role Ohio State and they get out scored forty

299
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: five twenty nine in the second half. Any takeaways neck

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: game to the Fluke like like Fluke game? Any concern

301
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: from what you saw?

302
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: Very very concerned. It was not as fluky as it

303
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: appeared on the surface here. I've got I think Mike

304
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: and I both have some anti Purdue thoughts for a

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: matchup later this weekend, so maybe we save that.

306
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: Okay it so there is there is some concent imke

307
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: where do you want to go for your rent or bad?

308
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: Well, just quick to get it off my chest.

309
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: On the last show, Stuck, I had North Texas and

310
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: you know this feeling where some people got eight and

311
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: a half, some people got nine, some people got nine

312
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: and a half. One of the reasons why I was

313
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: on the mean green at the super pit is that

314
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: they're such a good foul shooting team and they missed

315
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I want to say, twelve foul shots, probably five of

316
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: them in the last ninety seconds to either push or

317
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: lose that bet by the hook.

318
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 4: So that was brutal.

319
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: I kind of touched upon that.

320
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley just belaboring the point. I don't know if

321
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: you saw his last press conference. He's just such a

322
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: smug son of a bitch. I think he just loves it.

323
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: He's just like, oh, the camera loves me too much,

324
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: and everybody's a bunch of losers when they, you know,

325
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: basically critique me. In any way, he's doing a good

326
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: job of making the big East of TV show that

327
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: I want to watch, and in this case, I'm just

328
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: hate watching it at this point.

329
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: But it is just getting a little.

330
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: Ridiculous that, as I said, the refs haven't taken it

331
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: out on him and thrown him out of a game

332
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: for his historyonics the one brant that I'm actually having here.

333
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of an evergreen rant for me. But I'm

334
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: preparing to get disappointed on selection Sunday. I want to

335
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: get my head right here six weeks out from it

336
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: because there's some huge names on the bubble like North Carolina, Texas, Iowa,

337
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: Indiana not all that dissimilar from the College Foble playoff

338
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: commtee where it's like there's so much talent on Indiana.

339
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: There's you know, there's so much upside to some of

340
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: these teams. I'd much rather see a shout out to Tanner,

341
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: a two bid Big West or a two bid Missouri Valley,

342
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: give me Drake and Bread.

343
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: It's never gonna happen.

344
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna be sitting in a ballroom on Selection Sunday

345
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be one of the first four out.

346
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get myself right there because they're

347
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: going to squeeze in a deeply fall out North Carolina

348
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: team or Indiana or somebody. I'm just not impressed with

349
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: the big names on the bubble right now that are

350
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: on quote unquote the right side by bracket matrix.

351
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 4: But those are just some of the ransom burned on

352
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: right now.

353
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: I'd rather have weird, some weird mid majors. Like, give

354
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: me two or three weird mid majors that play like

355
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: unique styles than two or three bubble teams that don't

356
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: have any real threat. But some bubble teams have like

357
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: profile of a sleeper. It depends, but I think getting

358
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: some weird mid majors who have some upset potential always

359
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: makes the tournament a bit more interesting. All right, let's

360
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: get to the futures round table. I'll kick things off

361
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: because you know where I'm going. I'm looking at a

362
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: prominent book right now. Prominent book right now, Still fifteen

363
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: to one to make the final four. I trid to

364
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: like eleven for what it's worth. Eleven to one. We

365
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: saw how Texas A and M can win games against

366
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: anyone in the country when they shoot. How they're gonna

367
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: shoot twenty eight percent for three on the road at

368
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: Ole Miss, with Ole Miss coming off a loss in

369
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: the Egg Bowl, Mississippi State. It was a great spot

370
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: for Ole Miss and text A and m just ugly

371
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 2: it up. Guess who was back mister Wade Taylor. Still

372
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: a little rusty, but he played thirty minutes to looked

373
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: healthy to me. This team could beat anybody any even day,

374
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: as experienced as anyone been over a million times. They

375
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: if they shoot well, great, If they don't, doesn't really matter,

376
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: and they're going to force you to shoot threes on

377
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: the neutral court in the tournament. I think this team

378
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: is super dangerous. They can play with anyone. I don't

379
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: think they don't have national title upside, probably because of

380
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: their shooting, but they can get to the final four.

381
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: Little risky because like you don't want.

382
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 5: Them, Like I wouldn't want them in I wouldn't want

383
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: them in the same bracket as probably like I wouldn't

384
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 5: even mind them against Duke, but like a healthy Auburn

385
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 5: probably not.

386
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: So you know that's the risk we take with these

387
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: But you know where I'm going text saying them, I

388
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: was super impressed with that win. They just that's what

389
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: they do, that's their that's their identity. Just scratch, claw, fight,

390
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: brawl and offensive rebound. Turned teams over Calbrey's. I think

391
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: I spoiled both of your takes with the good that

392
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: I had earlier, But you're going with something related to Louisville.

393
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it kind of pains me because you've

394
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: warned me down.

395
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 4: I'm on A and M.

396
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for A and M. No disrespects

397
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: to whatever great brings to the table here. But you've

398
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: won me over with the case and with Wade Taylor back,

399
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm in on it, but here I am immediately pivoting

400
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: to a team that you just gave flowers to in

401
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 1: Louisville twenty to one. I've seen twenty two to one

402
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: out of the market to make the final four. Haslo

403
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: Metrics says the U of L first and momentum in

404
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: the entire country and first in a way from home rating,

405
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: And I agree.

406
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 4: I just wanted to kind of.

407
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: Test out where you thought they kind of fall in

408
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: the seed line. I think probably if everything shakes out

409
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: the way that I'm hoping, they'll.

410
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: Get to A four.

411
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, it's really about could they

412
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: upset you know, an Auburn or Duke in to get Santonio.

413
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: Probably not, but if they can get a path where

414
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: they have to go through Iowa State or Kentucky or Alabama.

415
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: I think they could because we know the offensive system.

416
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: Four guards are averaging over twelve points per night. They

417
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: bomb away from three to a hallmark of a Pat

418
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey team, and when they're falling they can beat anybody.

419
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: And they're also top forty and two point percentage accuracy

420
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: as well, So this offense can cook. And you mentioned,

421
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the loss of prior and

422
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: who was going to step up? I think at this

423
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: point James Scott has grown into that prominent go to

424
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: big role. He's capable of double doubles now, he's shown

425
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: it over the past two weeks in a super manageable

426
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: acc I don't think of four seeds out of the question.

427
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: And then, like I said, it's just you know, one

428
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: seed Roulette, Duke, avoid Auburn, get lucky in that regard,

429
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: and then I would love to be holding anything north

430
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: of twenty to one on a ticket for the cards

431
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: to make the final four.

432
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: So that's my take, And Greig, where are you going?

433
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: This was a masterclass by Stucky in this episode. He

434
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: beats us to the punch on both of our similar

435
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: plays that we love Louisville just so we can position

436
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: this back to A and M just pure magnificence from Stuck.

437
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: But I'm also.

438
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: Coming with a Louisville future. I just like the spin

439
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: on them to actually sneak up and claim the ACC crown.

440
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: It's plus nine point fifty now. I saw this, I

441
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 3: think eighteen to one about a week ago. Suddenly this

442
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: has become a real possibility. You laid out all the

443
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: cases of why to like the team. I'm totally with it.

444
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: The thing that scares me about March is that I

445
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: trust Louisville against teams that are just lesser opponents, way

446
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 3: more than I trust Louisville against teams that have more talent,

447
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: more size, and can provide some resistance. Right in March,

448
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna see at least two, if not three, of

449
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: those in order to get to a final four. In

450
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: ACC play, you don't see any of them. I mean,

451
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: their hardest game the rest of the way is pitt

452
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: at home. That's it. I mean they've played all their

453
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: hard games. They have zero left against North Carolina Duke

454
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: or Clemson Duke. Still has to go unc twice once

455
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: on the road at Clemson. They've got at Wake Forest

456
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: this week. Still, I'm not saying that Duke is in

457
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: danger of falling off here, but it's fully plausible that

458
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: Duke could lose two games and Louisville could win out

459
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: based on what's left with their schedule at plus nine

460
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: point fifty. I actually like that play more than waiting

461
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: to roll the dice in March. But once again, this

462
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: was a stucky masterpiece today of positioning us how we.

463
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: Have Well, I don't hate that play, by the way, right,

464
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 2: So one for A and M, two for Louisville, final

465
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: four to three for Louisville to win the ACC All right, one,

466
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: two three.

467
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: Gig them, gigm hi, So you we got.

468
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: It game theory. Calvary's already told me he's voting for me,

469
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: So I said, okay, I can't vote for Calvary's because

470
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: then what if Greg does, and then I can break

471
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: the tie if not? All right, So I got A

472
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 2: and M on the board along with Illinois to go

473
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: to the final four and couch change play on a

474
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: National Player of the Year on Braden Smith almost aid

475
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: Fletcher Lawyer. Let's get to some rapid fire bets for

476
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: the weekend. I'll kick things off on Friday. I mentioned

477
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: this the other day. I don't know what's going on

478
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: with Kent State at home. Like they barely beat Heidelberg.

479
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's like a character from Breaking Bad.

480
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: They barely They lost to Western Michigan. They got blown

481
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: out by West Michigan. Summer, they lost to Minds Ohio.

482
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: I mean you go back to they barely beat Niagara.

483
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: Something's going on with him at home. I don't know what,

484
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: but they kind of cleaned it up on the road

485
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: press of win at Toledo. I think we're gonna see

486
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: this team going a little bit of a run. I'm

487
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: playing them tomorrow. I already played them as plus two

488
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 2: and a half is out there right now at Ohio.

489
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: I think Kent State can control the glass here. And

490
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: the reason is this is mainly not a play on

491
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: Kent State as much as it is a fate of Ohio.

492
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean, A. J. Clayton's out, He's gonna be out,

493
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: got hurt last game. Ayden hadaway, He's still out there.

494
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: The two best players, Elmore James might be back with

495
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: the team, hasn't been with them the last couple of days.

496
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: This is going to be an extremely shorthanded Ohio team

497
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: without those guys, I make Kent State favorite here. So

498
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: give me the Golden Flashes Friday night. I think you

499
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: have something Calvary's Friday.

500
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: So we're both on this Michigan Purdue game, but from

501
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: different angles. I'm going to start with a player prop.

502
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: It just opened in the market. Eighteen and a half

503
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: points for Vlad Golden against the bullet Makers. I'm going

504
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: to go over here for anyone who hasn't watched a

505
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: whole lot of Michigan basketball this year. They have that

506
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: unique four f pick and roll that Dusty May has

507
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: basically brought in Danny Wolf to run that point forward position.

508
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: It's created a world of easy buckets for Golden the season.

509
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: Since December one, Golden is averaging twenty one points per game,

510
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: which is the most in the entire country among true centers,

511
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: which is kind of amazing because you think back to

512
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: him two years ago during Fau's run to the Final four.

513
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: He was a tryhard.

514
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: He was somebody who was running up and down the floor,

515
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: and if he got a bucket outside of you know,

516
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: a layup or a dunk, you thought that it was

517
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of you know, found money on the sidewalk. All

518
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, He's got some post moves, he's asseim athleticism,

519
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: he clearly vibes with Wolf and like I said, getting

520
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: all those easy interior looks against a Perdue defense that

521
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: without Edie is giving them up in just waves. So

522
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: I think at eighteen and a half, I would play

523
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: this all the way.

524
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 4: Up to twenty and a half.

525
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: And then finally, in terms of his availability on the floor,

526
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: in the past two months as well, his minutes have exploded.

527
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: He's now reliable to go for twenty six plus on

528
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: a nightly basis as long as he doesn't get into trouble.

529
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: And by being on the floor more that's translated to

530
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: more foul shots. You know, he's gotten to the line

531
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: a ton in Big ten play, averaging over nine shots

532
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: from the Charity Stripe per game in conference. And then

533
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: the last piece of it is before I kick it

534
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: over to Greg Perdue.

535
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 4: When you look at some of.

536
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: The comps and the bigs that they've faced, Garson, Garcia, Garson,

537
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: excuse me, Dawson Garcia gave them twenty Johnny Broom and

538
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I Broome gave him twenty three. Derek Queen twenty six,

539
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Great awcime Ward twenty eight.

540
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: So I think all of.

541
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: This is pointing with the arrow up for a big

542
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: game from Golden And on Friday Night.

543
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: Only thing I'd be concerned about is maybe potential potential

544
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: potential whistle going against them, uh at Purdue, maybe foul

545
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: trouble at Mackie. But before I pivot to you, Greg,

546
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on this game, Danny Wolf had

547
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: a historically bads shouldn't historically bed, but a nightmare game.

548
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: He did have thirteen rebounds against Northwestern, but he couldn't

549
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: score and then he was getting destroyed defensively. Any concerns

550
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: there for like Michigan's ceiling for me?

551
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: Now, okay, yeah, yeah, I think the thing with Wolf

552
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: he's a ratic. I mean, that's why this guy's not

553
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: a lottery pick. If he was consistently playing near his ceiling,

554
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: he would be with ten to fifteen range NBA draft

555
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: prospect right now. But he's alregably the most turnover prone

556
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: player in the country, and man, they're unforced when that happens,

557
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: and as you mentioned, stuck against Northwestern. He just couldn't

558
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 3: get going from an offensive perspective. But the special thing

559
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: about Wolf is really not his scoring. If he gets

560
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: you twenty, it's a bonus. The reason Vlad Golden is

561
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 3: so prolific this year is entirely that four or five

562
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: pick and roll.

563
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you think about his.

564
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: Matchup with Purdue, foul Trouble's the only concern I have

565
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 3: with Mike's prop here, right, because one of these two

566
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: has to guard TKR Caukin reds in a lead scorer,

567
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: and you don't know if it's gonna be Wolf for Golden.

568
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 3: That's probably a dust he made toss up. We might

569
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: see both spend time. If it were me, I'd put

570
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: Wolf on him. I think he's the more dynamic defender,

571
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: and I think you'd rather just live with Flad Goldan

572
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: just abusing Caleb first down low, which leads me to

573
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: my large takeaway here. I spent the last week episode

574
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: of the show singing Braden Smith's praises why it's time

575
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: to buy into Purdue, and then they have a letdown

576
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: spot at home against Ohio State. Mac Areena is an

577
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: incredibly tough place to play. Picking Purdue to lose two

578
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: straight games there is like signing up for your own death. However,

579
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: this team has such glaring holes that previous Purdue teams

580
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: have not Their top three are special. But Caleb First

581
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: didn't play on last year's team. He shouldn't be playing

582
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: on this year's team. And if not for an injury

583
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: to their freshman center, he wouldn't be playing on this

584
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: year's team. They're small, they cannot guard the rim at all.

585
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean they had zero blocks against Ohio State. I

586
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: think TKR, who's really been their center for most of

587
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: the season, has three blocks on the season.

588
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: Right now.

589
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: Michigan's front court should absolutely abuse these guys. But the

590
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: biggest reason that I like miss to win this game

591
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 3: in mac Ereena is this something weird is going on

592
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: with produce three point volume. The last three games, they've

593
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: attempted thirteen to twelve and nine threes. Now thirteen threes

594
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: against Washington makes sense because they take away the three

595
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: point line. They blitz ball screens their last two games.

596
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense. Oregon and Ohio State are not

597
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: great three point volume defenses, and they've been able to

598
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: just completely run Perdue off the line. Forest, Braden Smith,

599
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: and Kaufman ran into these in between mid range tough

600
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: two type shots. That's what Michigan's defense does well. They

601
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: throw vlad and drop coverage. They bait you into tough,

602
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: contested twos, and the Dusty May offense is all threes,

603
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: all dunks. I mean they go full games without even

604
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: attempting a mid range shot. It's basically diet Nate oates.

605
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: So I think this is a perfect matchup for Michigan.

606
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: I think you go down the previous two months, Perdue

607
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: has lost the games that have been quote unquote nightmare

608
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: matchups in various ways, and I was really spooked by

609
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: that second half against Ohio State. It should have no

610
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: answer for Wolf and Golden, barring foul trouble. I like

611
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: Michigan to win this game.

612
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good matchup at not the best spot, but yeah,

613
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: if they can avoid That's my one concern too, the

614
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: Macki whistle here. Uh, just Painter getting in the refs

615
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: here slat and it's like you got then it's Cheddar

616
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: time for way too long. I'm gonna stay in the

617
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 2: big ten spot. I had circle Rutgers. I mean, Rutgers

618
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: is not in the tournament conversation, but they're gonna have

619
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: a couple spots here like at home. Just still a

620
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: really good home court advantage in big games they have

621
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 2: like Michigan coming to town, Illinois coming to town in

622
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: like the next two weeks, and Michigan State on Saturday.

623
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: You got two lottery picks on your team who are

624
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 2: now healthy, Like Rutgers rating has been hurt by I mean,

625
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: Harper played two games where you shouldn't even been out there.

626
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: He's just basically attempting to run win sprints. You have

627
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: Bailey and Harper and a team that one of the

628
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: keys against Michigan State is you have to limit them

629
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: and try position choker. It's is O team. Rutgers at

630
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: least does that. It's not a vintage Rutgers defensive team,

631
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: but they're good at limiting transition opportunities. Michigan State, I

632
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: don't think is gonna hold everyone that's twenty five percent

633
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: shooting from three. This I think this is a really

634
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: good spot for Rutgers. You get max effort here if

635
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: some of the projection sites are right, like I would

636
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: love to get six or seven on the open with

637
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: the Scarlet Knights. Do you don I get any thoughts there?

638
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a good spot for.

639
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: Spook You at all that it's at MSG in the garden,

640
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: not the rack, because that I would miss at home.

641
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: But it's I mean, Michigan State fans they hate that

642
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: it's at MSG. I think they're like four and thirteen

643
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: under Rizzo in the building.

644
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: I didn't even I didn't even realize that, so I

645
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: probably need it's probably still gonna Yeah, it's probably gonna

646
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: open around six at Rutgers. It probably would have been

647
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: three and a half. I'm assuming. I mean there's the

648
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: argument Harper and Bailey. Yeah, I think like I'll definitely

649
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: get the line I want now. I mean, I'll still

650
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: be on it. But okay, it's I didn't even realize

651
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: that going through my it's it's it marked as a

652
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: it's not even marked as a neutral. So it's just

653
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: that's so weird to me. I don't know why I

654
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: don't have that. Yeah, it's weir.

655
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: All the analytics sites have it is a true home game,

656
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: which is strange.

657
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: I don't get it either.

658
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: Interesting. Yeah, it hurts a little bit, but still a

659
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: spot I had circled, Greig, where do you want to

660
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: go next?

661
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 4: Next?

662
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to a Saturday game, and I

663
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: think at least. I hope we may catch Kansas at

664
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: plus money at home against Houston here, and I think

665
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: that I'm having deja vu to last year because fellas,

666
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: I could swear we did this dance with a Bill

667
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: self team that he clearly hated and had issues with

668
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: certain personnel, and Houston was, you know, the same number

669
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: one defense in the country. It's just very similar profiles

670
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: to what we watched a year ago, and Calvin Sampson

671
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: hit the podium and did the whole I can't believe

672
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: we're favored at fog Allen. Are you serious? When do

673
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: teams be favored here? And then Kansas beat them by

674
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: thirteen and it wasn't all that much of a content. Look,

675
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: I think this Houston team is great. Their guard play

676
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: is definitely a step back from the last five years

677
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: of Houston guards that we've come to know and love.

678
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: And because they've been able to suffocate every team that

679
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: they have played for the better part of a month

680
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 3: and a half, we haven't had to talk about it,

681
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: and it's definitely boosted up their metrics quite a bit,

682
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: because when you win games where you hold teams to

683
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: thirty six points like Utah are forty six points against TCU,

684
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna look stellar. The reality is this Houston team

685
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: has not beaten anybody. They have not beaten a top

686
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: thirty five opponent this season, and in games against quality

687
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: opponents all the way back to November. But against Auburn

688
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: and Alabama and even San Diego State, they had chances

689
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: to win those games and their guard play let them down.

690
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: I just don't think this Houston team is good enough

691
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: to go into fog Allen and win a game comfortably,

692
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: which at minimum means this is gonna come down to

693
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: the final possessions, and I think Kansas checks a lot

694
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: of the box is that you have to have checked

695
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: to feel like you can beat Houston. You've got to

696
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: have an elite post scorer, which both Auburn and in

697
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: my opinion with Grant Nelson, Alabama have. Hunter Dickinson's good.

698
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 3: He had twenty and eight against Houston in this building

699
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: last year. Dwan Harris is a guy you can be

700
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 3: comfortable against the physicality of the Houston guards, and the

701
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: Kansas defense has been legitimately awesome. They're up to fourth

702
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: nationally right now. I don't think they're that far off

703
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: on that end of the court from Houston. So I'll

704
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 3: take some home court voodoo here. I'll take a bet

705
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 3: that this Houston team is riding a little too hot

706
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 3: in the market right now. And if we get Kansas

707
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: at plus money, I'm all over Bill self and the Jayhawks.

708
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I you know, there's no in this

709
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: particular matchup against Houston, like, will you know Houston is

710
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: going to give up threes with their aggressive defense? Kansas

711
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 2: is really a three point shooting team. You do kind

712
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: of got to make threes against Houston, And Bill Seth

713
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: used in that first matchup, we used Dickinson brilliantly good

714
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: pick and roll, but out kJ Adams, who does all

715
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: the little things for Kansas, all right, he does defensively,

716
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, he'll get on the glass when necessary, but

717
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: he'll make the right pass, the right play. He's not

718
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: gonna make a three. So in this particular matchup, can

719
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: you just get I mean age, can a j store

720
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: show up hit some a couple threes? Ryland Griffin more

721
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: Ryland Griffin minutes could actually be helpful here in this

722
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 2: particular matchup. So from like a spacing perspective, Kansas might

723
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: actually be better off in this matchup without Adams. So yeah,

724
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: I agree, pretty good spot for Kansas when I had

725
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: circled as well. Calbry's what you got next?

726
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was very close to throwing in the Kansas

727
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: play as well. So I think that's a clean sweep

728
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: for us. You know, Stuck, you basically talked me into

729
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Stanford the other night when you're like I should just

730
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: fade Miami, I was like, all right, let me look

731
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: into some of these stats on Miami.

732
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 4: How bad is it? Oh man?

733
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: They are at UNBC, Lemoyne A, Prairie View A, and

734
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: m levels of d defense, Prayer View A and m

735
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: By the way, their entire athletic budget fifteen million dollars

736
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: that Miami team's getting paid, I think four million dollars

737
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: in nil you know, extra bonus cash walking around. So

738
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous that they've fallen off this hard.

739
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: But at this.

740
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Point, I think I'm buying in a little bit on

741
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: the cardinal and beyond just obviously beating Miami by thirty seven,

742
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: that's great, but I think that they can play their

743
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: way onto the bubble, and Florida State is a team

744
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: that I think is going to move off of the

745
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: bubble in the coming weeks because they haven't played well

746
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: in true road games outside of their fifteen point win

747
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: at Miami. And I mean we're just discounting any performances

748
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: against the Kines. The Seminoles just point blank. They struggle

749
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: on the glass. They find themselves near you know, two

750
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: hundredth in defensive rebounding percentage, and when you're up against

751
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: the big bag at Max Reino, who's averaging twenty two

752
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: to twelve and two stocks per game across his last five,

753
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: he has really blossomed in his final year on the

754
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: farm and you know, zooming out on the program. In general,

755
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in Kyle Smith. He won twenty

756
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: five games at Columbia, twenty five at Wazoo sixty three

757
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: and three years at San Francisco. Those aren't easy places

758
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: to win big to win in the twenties on an

759
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: annual basis, and he was able to do that. And

760
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: I think a part of it, beyond Reno, is that

761
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: he's worked with some really quality guards Frankie Ferrari, phenomenal

762
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: name medow Low at Columbia as well last season Miles

763
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: Rice Jalen Blake's isn't quite there. The Duke transfer, but

764
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: he's getting more and more out of him lately. When

765
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: you look at what he did against North Carolina twenty

766
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: and seven in that game, if he can play anywhere

767
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: close to that level, particularly on their home floor in

768
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: a spot where Florida's state traveled across the country, they

769
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: lose at Cal Berkeley. Now this is their second game

770
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: in the back to back.

771
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: You know, road games. I'm still going to go with

772
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 4: Stanford here. I think it's going to be below four.

773
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: Certainly I would play it up to maybe the edge

774
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: of two possessions, but at three and a half four,

775
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm on the cardinal here. I think the trees are

776
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: going to impose their will on the offensive. Glass and Reno,

777
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: I think he's continue to do what he's been doing

778
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: in the past month, and I'll keep back in these guys.

779
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 2: It's over the past two months effective field goal defense

780
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: Miami three sixty two in the country. Only teams worse Bella, Maraine,

781
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: Bellermine And by the way, people I have people that

782
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: were saying, I always say Mary Matt, I'm gonnay, that's

783
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: my delco. I know it's Merrimack, but I'm always gonna

784
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: say Mary Mac Mississippi Valley State. Oh man, they're bad

785
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: sixty two field but that's it. Bellarmine and Mississippi Valley

786
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: State only teams worse than Miami effective field goal defense,

787
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 2: so so bad. Yeah, I like the way Stafford's playing

788
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: of Wait, let's go Troy against South Alabama. South Alabama

789
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 2: runs a ton of zone on defense and both of

790
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: the both of these teams have their games canceled Troy

791
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: and South Alabama on Thursday. South Alabama on last week

792
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 2: was blowing out Troy in that game, super high aarants

793
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: team because of their zone, but Troy started to figure

794
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: it out towards the end. South Alabama ended up holding

795
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: on by one. This is the next game. They got

796
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 2: a week to prepare. I think it's a huge advantage

797
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 2: to see that South Alabama zone defense again. I think

798
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: it's a good spot, good matchup for Troy. Troy also

799
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: can just dominate the offensive glass here and yeah, they

800
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: took care of the ball and that matchup for the

801
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: most part, turners have been an issue, so I like

802
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 2: try there's some variants coming to South Alabama and shooting

803
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 2: like thirty seven percent from three, allowing twenty six percent

804
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: with that zone so I think this is a good

805
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: spot for Troy greg Where are you going next to him?

806
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: I want to propose something incredibly dangerous to me and

807
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: my family right now, but cover your ears, folks. I

808
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: think that Yukon may be a really bad basketball team,

809
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 3: maybe just with no other caveats. I think this may

810
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: be a bad basketball team. Stepping back broadly, their marky

811
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: wins this season have all in a park. I mean,

812
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 3: are we supposed to be impressed that they snuck by

813
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: Gonzaga and Baylor? Is that what we're doing now? Those

814
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: teams are in free fall. I just watched Baylor have

815
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 3: to come from behind by ten points against Doug McDaniel

816
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: and Coleman Hawkins.

817
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm wayns. How about the losses the Colorado and Dayton.

818
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 3: I am just not impressed at all. And I just

819
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: I think people are starting to catch on to this

820
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 3: because Hurley will draw as much attention to himself at

821
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: all times. But it's still a massive inefficiency to what

822
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 3: I think they really are. Torvik agrees. I mean, since

823
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: Leam McNeely went out, Yukon's fifty ninth nationally, Xavier for

824
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 3: their record is thirty second. I mean they've been playing

825
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 3: a lot better in the last month, and I think

826
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: it's a great spot bet stock Xavier. After the meltdown

827
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: against Saint John's. I mean, they were dominating Saint John's collapsed.

828
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 3: They should have won the game. Yukon very fortunate to

829
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 3: survive against Butler. This Yukon defense is just a disaster

830
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 3: in this man without mcneily one hundred and sixty six nationally,

831
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: but I mean that almost it's it's almost the same

832
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 3: as saying what they are with him. I mean, go

833
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 3: back to the beginning of November. It's still outside the

834
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: top one thirty. And if you're looking for free points

835
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 3: in this game, Xavier really does get to the free

836
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: throw line. Well, they're fiftieth nationally in free throw at

837
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 3: temph rate. I understand that it's Hurley versus everybody with officiating,

838
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 3: but this team doesn't foul because people have something against Hurley.

839
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: They foul because they don't have any personnel that can

840
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 3: stay in front of their man and the perimeter. I mean,

841
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: there isn't anybody in a Yukon roster that can prevent

842
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: the German penetration. So I love this spot. I think

843
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: Xavier is decizably better team at home eight pm tip

844
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: on a Saturday night. Maybe this is the moment the

845
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: entire college basketball world discovers that my hypothesis may be true.

846
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: Ryan will play that together twenty five points, air conwell

847
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: and upset. I mean, he's been boom er bust, but

848
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: when he goes off, like you said, he gets to

849
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: the line a ton. He did that I think against

850
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: Nova the other night and had thirty plus, So I'm

851
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: with you.

852
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Xavier's playing really well. I mean if they went

853
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: they went to marquetin one and they they should have

854
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: beat They should have won at Saint John's, you know,

855
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 2: and they lost by two at home de Marquette. They

856
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: lost an overtime earlier this season at Yukon without Fremantle

857
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: in a game they should have won. And I think

858
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: people will are still not all the way there yet

859
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: to Yukon. It doesn't mean they can't get there by March.

860
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I agree, this isn't like right now.

861
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: This is not a top thirty team in the country,

862
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: and I do think they missed McNeely on the offensive end,

863
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 2: especially in certain circumstances. But the whole narrative I think

864
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 2: would be even we'd be quicker to get there, just

865
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: from a national perspective, if they actually did lose the

866
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: Butler at home, they needed overtime there and Xavier at

867
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: home without Fremantle, they needed overtime to get that win.

868
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: Barely beat Butler on the road, So yeah, it's losing

869
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: at home to Creighton. The red flags are all over

870
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: and you mentioned the wins. Like I said, Colorado has

871
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: been a disaster. I know they've had injury and dealing

872
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: with they illness is Dayton. Everyone's like, oh Dayton. I

873
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: mean it's not like Dayton has been impressive in a

874
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: ten play and both of those teams beat Yukon on

875
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: a neutral court. So yeah, I'm with you. I have

876
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: this one circle as well. What else you got? Calvary's

877
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 2: all right, I'm.

878
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 4: Going to close it out for a game.

879
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to keep my voice down here

880
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: so that the books don't hear it. Please give me

881
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: nine nine and a half with UAB traveling to Memphis.

882
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: This is a game I have had circled really for

883
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: the past month because the Blazers started so slow as

884
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: a team mos High on in the preseason, but since

885
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: mid December there was that three.

886
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 4: Point loss of the super Pits in North Texas.

887
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: No shame there, other than that they've been absolutely rolling

888
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: the offenses, humming the axel. Lenborg has gone thermonuclear last

889
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: four games twenty two to ten and seven with three

890
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: stocks per game. He's playing at, you know, AAC player

891
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: at the year level, borderline first team All American, second

892
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: team All American kind of level, and they'll be happy

893
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: to play even faster the way that Memphis under Penny

894
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: likes to play. And really it's not all that complicated

895
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: when Memphis is playing in the non conference early in

896
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: the season, when they get to March Madness, I'm interested

897
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: in backing Penny when it's coaches who pour over his tape.

898
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: He gets out coach in the AAC all the time,

899
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: So I'm going to sprinkle on the money line. But

900
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: if this gets close to ten, this is going to

901
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: be one of my favorite bets of the entire month.

902
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: Uabs just a team that I think because the average

903
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: fan is looking I guess at the overall record and

904
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: they're figuring that they're kind of middle class in the AAC,

905
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think they're going to be

906
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: able to bring the fight to the Tigers here. I

907
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: think they'll flirt with the outright upsode.

908
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: I say this all the time. I've missed out on

909
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: like six straight winners. I say, just fade Penny is

910
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 2: a big favorite. I think they're like, oh in eight

911
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: the last eight is a big favorite against the spread, unbelievable.

912
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Stuck since December, they've won by ten, ten or more twice.

913
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: So I don't understand where this market steam would come

914
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden they're going to beat the

915
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: best team remaining in the AAC going away.

916
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 4: I know they're at home, but come on.

917
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're de It's just in these games when they're

918
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: a big favor, just because there's no focus there and

919
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 2: their home court advantage is not as good and non

920
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: when it's a big game, big big game FedEx for

921
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: him is awesome, but when it's like just a regular

922
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 2: game doesn't have the same effect.

923
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 3: I'm sadoing over Dane Danger trying to guard yax Olndenborg already.

924
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that's any minutes we get with that is

925
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: a huge advantage.

926
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll throw out a couple more. Maybe this is

927
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 2: the time the Buylo in Colorado like they're finally fully

928
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: healthy at Arizona. Arizona's got Iowa State on Monday. It's

929
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: going to be a big number. I think Arizona's a

930
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: paper tiger. They don't really turn you over, which is

931
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: Colorado's biggest issue. I don't know. I got to see

932
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: the number there. Nevada at home against San Diego State.

933
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm not a believer in the San Diego State offense.

934
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 2: This is this game we played in the half court,

935
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: and it'll be a jump shooting contest. I trust Nevada.

936
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: Davison probably is a favorable matchup here, pulling out their bigs.

937
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of threes, and I trust

938
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: Nevada to make them a real ugly one and just

939
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: a spot play. This team's real bad. They're brand new,

940
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: they're kind of starting to figure out their offense. USC Upstate,

941
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: they're at Longwood. You're gonna get I don't know. I

942
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: mean maybe hopefully fourteen, but probably won't be that high Upstate.

943
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean a long it's going off two huge wins

944
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: of a Ratford end high point. They've been shooting like

945
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent from three, but they're not a good

946
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 2: shooting team. Outside of the kid Christmas usc Upstate stinks.

947
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: I worry about their turnovers here against the no middle,

948
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: but they want to get out and run, like they

949
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: just want to run, get out in transition, and Longwood's

950
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: a really bad transition d really bad two point d.

951
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: Neither of these teams have size, so like, I don't know.

952
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna get enough easy buckets and enough

953
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: in transition to keep this close. And it's a pretty

954
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: good spot. So that's that's my ugly ugly.

955
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: Of the day, mister Dean for USC Upstate. Love mister

956
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: one of the best freshmen in the country. Like you said,

957
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: it's it's all about transition buckets. At six', six he

958
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: puts on the floor a couple times from half court

959
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: and he's at the.

960
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 4: Rim SO i like that play Against.

961
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 2: Longwood any thoughts On, Auburn.

962
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: TENNESSEE i don't trust the balls on the, road to be,

963
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 3: Honest LIKE i would love for them to get this

964
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 3: chance Without broom at, home Because i'd be all over.

965
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 4: It But lanier's been so up and.

966
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 3: DOWN i do think to your, point there are more

967
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 3: concerns than we see at the surface With, auburn especially

968
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: given the banged up nature even Of broom's replacements right

969
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: now and what happened last.

970
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: Game BUT.

971
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: I don't. Know the thing With tennessee is like you've

972
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: really got to Trust, akpara who, defensively, okay he's, great

973
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: but it's not Like auburn even necessarily wants to score

974
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 3: through the post anyway right, now And akpara is not

975
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: going to take advantage even Without.

976
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 4: Broom SO i don't.

977
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 3: Know If lanier gets, nuclear it's one thing we might

978
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 3: catch a good number. Too kind wondering how the books

979
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: are going to adjust Without. Broom Pen palm's got it at,

980
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 3: eight BUT i, MAN i kind of feel Like auburn

981
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: wins by double digits without him.

982
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah tennessee could crush the offensive glass here BECAUSE

983
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: i do think they Missed broom on the defensive boards a.

984
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 2: LOT i might end up Betting, tennessee especially on open

985
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: because this is what happened in The georgia. GAME i

986
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 2: made that line around ten and a, half The auburn

987
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 2: minus ten and a half eleven ish At, georgia AND

988
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 2: i Have broom worth like five and a half, points

989
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: and books opened it at eight and a half and

990
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 2: ended up closing in what five and a half, Six

991
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 2: SO i don't think that on the open they were

992
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: propa they were properly accounting for the loss of broom

993
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 2: and that. Number it really could have mattered If auburn

994
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: didn't melt down Late georgia somehow to shot to win that.

995
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 2: Game but, yeah So i'm curious if it opens up

996
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 2: at like six, FIVE i might have to take. Tennis

997
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: we'll see any Thoughts CALVARY'S.

998
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't mind trying to catch the falling knife on

999
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: an entire, team but on a, player that's a pass for.

1000
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: Me lanier is shooting sub thirty percent in the last five,

1001
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: games and he's a volume, shooter so with him shooting this,

1002
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: way they could shoot their way right out of this.

1003
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: Game SO i need to see like a bounce back

1004
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 1: performance somewhere where he can really carry this offense first

1005
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: before they get into deep water on the road against

1006
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: team Like. Auburn so it's just a pass for.

1007
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: Me last One wake Hosting, duke and this will be

1008
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 2: a huge game For. WAKE i mean because as of right,

1009
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 2: now THEY i, mean what would they they would BE

1010
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: i don't. KNOW i would say ten chance of making

1011
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: the tournament right? Now they get this when they're gonna

1012
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: be right back in the. Conversation dave won six in a.

1013
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: Row my question is they still kind of they don't

1014
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 2: really have a point, guard so, like are they going

1015
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 2: to be able to beat this Elite duke defense and

1016
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 2: they can't really. Shoot they they're playing a lot, slower

1017
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: so they just don't have the WHOLE i, mean the

1018
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: offense is. Ugly i've liked their. Defense i've liked the

1019
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: addition Of spillers, too WHO i absolutely loved at App.

1020
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 2: STATE i think he's really helped their defense of versatility as.

1021
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: Well does this come down, to, like Does salas go

1022
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 2: nuclear just like he did last? Year and when When

1023
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: wake Beat duke when he went for? Thirty is that what?

1024
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: This is that what they need? Here greg any? Thoughts,

1025
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: YEAH i think.

1026
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 3: So which if that's the, RECIPE i think you feel

1027
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 3: good about the. RECIPE i mean he's got five kempom

1028
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 3: MVPs his last eight games twenty or more, points seven of.

1029
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: EIGHT i mean this most quiet game in a.

1030
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 3: Month was fourteen Against carolina and that he just couldn't

1031
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 3: hit a three that, game ohver, Six so you, KNOW

1032
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 3: i think as good as The duke defense is the

1033
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 3: vulnerability to me would be a guard Like sallas who

1034
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 3: has some size that's not going to be By you

1035
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: know the nature Of duke's guards all being six to,

1036
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: SIX i mean they're built more like like fullbacks or

1037
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 3: wings tall fullbacks than they are point. Guards BUT i

1038
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 3: Think sallas is physical enough athletic enough to still get

1039
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: to his spots not be bumped off his. Spot salas

1040
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 3: is a guy that doesn't necessarily need to get all

1041
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: the way to the. Rim he has the in between

1042
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: game and the pull up, game SO i don't hate

1043
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: it from from that. Aspect the THING i hate For wake,

1044
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: here which makes it hard for me to. SEE i

1045
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: think you've got to be able to hold up on

1046
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 3: the boards Against, duke and they just.

1047
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: Can't they.

1048
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 4: Can't they are an afrocious rebounding.

1049
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 2: Team, YEAH i think that that is the. Past curious

1050
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 2: to see where this line comes out. AT i, Mean

1051
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 2: wake's gonna give you. Threes duke can make them, two

1052
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: which is. Scary BUT i think in a Way, SHIRE

1053
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: i mean they've won twelve in a. Row they play

1054
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: in the acc Like shire might, appreciate And duke hasn't

1055
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 2: been in like close, games so But shire might appreciate

1056
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 2: if this game is like close with like ten to,

1057
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: go just for like their season long props like. That

1058
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: i'm sure he wants them to get tested some conference

1059
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 2: play and the agency tournament before you get To, march

1060
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 2: because you, know it's still a team that has what

1061
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: three freshman, Starters so, YEAH i could see this being

1062
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 2: closed down the, stretch but the rebounding and they're Gonna

1063
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 2: he's gonna Need duke to be off from three a,

1064
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: bit and they Need salas to go. Nuts all, right

00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 6: i Guess brian is in fact the class of the.

1080
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 6: LEAGUE i mean they're four and oh with dominant wins

1081
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 6: Over vermont And. Lowell the defense is seemingly self. Corrected

1082
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 6: they're awesome on that end because they rim and iso

1083
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 6: funnel and then use their unmatch wing athleticism at all

1084
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 6: five positions to swat everything at the. RIM i mean

1085
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 6: they stand like six foot five to six foot eleven

1086
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,439
Speaker 6: everywhere and have posted a nineteen percent block rate in league. Play,

1087
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 6: Meanwhile raphael Pen zones returned from, injury totally opens up the,

1088
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 6: offense But i'm still exercising. CAUTION i still question in

1089
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 6: their offensive. Execution they still don't create super efficient shots

1090
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 6: in the half court or in, transition and If pizone

1091
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 6: stopped hitting fifty percent of his, THREES i wonder if

1092
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 6: things will maybe start to clog up. Again they've also

1093
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 6: played three of their first four games at, home and

1094
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 6: they've been much much worse on the road this, year

1095
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 6: and the entire season will likely come down to a

1096
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 6: three game Late february road trip where they go To, Vermont,

1097
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 6: lowell And, maine and consecutive. Trips that, SAID i have

1098
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 6: no interest in fading them Hosting binghamton On. Saturday that

1099
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 6: game's at four Pm. Eastern for some, reason The bearcat's

1100
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 6: solid wing versatility on offense has not translated to the

1101
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 6: other side of the, ball where they are incredibly flat.

1102
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 6: Footed they can't stay in front of the, dribble and

1103
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 6: The rim defense really misses three ball. Again Nima Hiah,

1104
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 6: benson his replacement at the, five is really dangerous on,

1105
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 6: offense especially in, transition but Level sanders has traded a

1106
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 6: lot of defense for not enough. Offense it's also going

1107
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 6: to be hard For binghamton's rim orior to detect to

1108
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 6: get going here against a team that lives off of

1109
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 6: dominating the rim. Defensively But i'm unsure IF i can

1110
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 6: fully buy in On bryant here given my hesitancy toward

1111
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 6: their market rating and the fact That binghamton Have thursday,

1112
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 6: off so they'll be actually rested for this battle as

1113
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 6: a likely double digit. Dog speaking Of lowell's rebounding, problem

1114
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 6: they Host New Hampshire saturday at two. PM i can't

1115
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 6: over exaggerate how bad this problem. Is lowell currently ranks

1116
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 6: last in the league in both offensive and defensive rebounding.

1117
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 6: Rates dukatt needs to figure something out stat, now do

1118
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 6: The wildcats have enough juice to Expose lowell's massive rebounding.

1119
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 6: Issue i'm partial with thinking. Yes since Sliding Khalil padrew

1120
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 6: into the four, spot The wildcats ranked third in THE

1121
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 6: ames and offensive rebounding. Rate he And okpomo are each

1122
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 6: grabbing over two per. Game they scored fifteen second chance

1123
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 6: points Against binghamton seventeen AGAINST. Unbc the half court is

1124
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 6: a little half court matchup is a little bleaker obviously The.

1125
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 6: Wildcats they just don't run. Offense it's all isolation or

1126
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 6: hero ball With Sammy pisis And anthony mccumb and, Surprisingly

1127
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 6: lowell's isolation defense has been pretty. Solid on the other

1128
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 6: end of the, COURT i highly doubt That New hampshire

1129
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 6: can stop the flex cuts That lowell loves to. Run

1130
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 6: But lowell's been running a lot more on ball screening

1131
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 6: actions With somerville And New hampshire's ball screen coverage has

1132
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 6: been a real surprise so, far especially in league. Play

1133
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 6: i'll have to see where the lion. Opens i'd probably need.

1134
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 2: Fifteen But i'm.

1135
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 6: Thinking really really hard about The wildcats. HERE unbc goes

1136
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 6: To vermont at one pm On. Saturday it's a little

1137
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 6: tough to know what we're getting From vermont these. Days

1138
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 6: they've had to go with more game specific, plans and

1139
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 6: they don't have the requisite shot makers to run the

1140
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 6: five out here AGAINST. Unbc The retrievers match up well

1141
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 6: With vermont on paper because they aggressively defend the three point,

1142
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 6: line which could Stifle vermont's typical perimeter oriented, offense and

1143
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 6: they have plenty of shooting so they could Beat vermont

1144
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 6: over the top on the other, end but opponents have

1145
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 6: adjusted by just feeding the ball to the interior AGAINST,

1146
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 6: unbc where The retrievers are helplessly. SMALL i kind of

1147
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 6: expect a Big Aleiri aofla game here because his athleticism

1148
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 6: could really shine at the. Rim and WILL unbc ever

1149
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 6: be able to run their offense because they like to

1150
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,439
Speaker 6: use like off the bounced, rim attack and drive and dish.

1151
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 6: Stuff but you can't get to the rim Against vermont

1152
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 6: with a leris still patrolling the paint and The cats

1153
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 6: are still pretty good at their catch and shoot clothes

1154
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 6: outs with their backcourt leg AND unbc was lifeless against mains,

1155
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 6: press And i've Seen becker use the press more than

1156
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 6: ever this. Year it's still led By Schmier, bogues who

1157
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 6: remains one of the better on ballpress defenders in the low.

1158
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 6: Majors probably a high variance game based on it IF

1159
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 6: nbc cashes their. Threes bighamton hit their threes in the

1160
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 6: second half Against vermont last week and crawled back for

1161
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 6: a cover At, patrick BUT i do lean Toward vermont

1162
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 6: here if. Anything, finally njiit Visits albany four pm On.

1163
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 6: Saturday we CASHED njit first half last. Week As i've mentioned,

1164
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 6: before The highlanders have a really solid top, five but

1165
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 6: they have no, depth zero guys off the bench who

1166
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 6: could play with any, experience and the legs just go

1167
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 6: in the second half against. EVERYONE i Think i'll be

1168
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 6: going back to the well here against The. Danes to

1169
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 6: stop The, highlanders you have to hold up against their

1170
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 6: ballscreen and isolation actions Against francis and Seb. Rob The

1171
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 6: danes are a solid isolation defense because they're, switchable but

1172
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 6: they're also really small and they're poorly, coached so their

1173
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 6: ballscreen coverage is a. Mess on the other end of the,

1174
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 6: Court i'm worried THAT njt is going to get posted

1175
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 6: and reposted to death here Against. Albany BUT njit has

1176
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 6: surprisingly been the best d fessive rebounding squad in THE

1177
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 6: Am east during conference. Play some of that is due

1178
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 6: to Playing maine And, lowell but, still AND i wonder

1179
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 6: if there's slow pace could maybe mess With albany's uptepo. Style,

1180
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 6: regardless n G I t first half is almost always the,

1181
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 6: play and The danes have been far from quick starters this.

1182
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 6: Year thanks, Guys i'll see you next, week.
