Speaker 2: weekend college basketball betting preview. I'm Stucky, joining me as

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: always Mike Calibrese and Mike Randall. The Mike and Mike's

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: got a lot to to get to today. We will

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: obviously talk some weekend spots. Rapid fire, really light Friday card,

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: pretty crazy as college basketball betters. It gets like seven

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: games on Friday and one hundred and fifty five on Saturday,

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: but so way it works. We will add to our

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: futures portfolio with a little futures round table. But before

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: we get to either of those items, let's talk the

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: week that was. You can go anyway with this. I

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: am going to go to Randall first as punishment two

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: Calgaries for recommending the Delta Devils on the earlier week podcast. Randal,

23
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: what do you got from this week? Or what do

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: you want to talk about?

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: Remember this is a safe space.

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: You know what pisses me off most of all.

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: Okay, you're ranting now, baby, I'm ruan. Why not?

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: You gotta let it out somehow.

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: It's just college basketball at its best. Guys, per bet Labs,

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: unranked home favorites versus ranked opponents. So your your home

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: and your favorite as an unranked team against a ranked opponent.

32
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Now fifty seven and twenty straight up over the past

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: two seasons per bet Labs, that's a twenty percent ROI

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: we saw it night, Nevada doing it to Colorado State.

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: That's why college basketball is at its best right now.

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: You have those situations, Alabama playing Auburn, so many great examples,

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: and that's why it's fun. That's why the betting is fun.

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: And the other one stuck I'm happy about is Bradley

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: and Indiana State struggled. They didn't cover, but they got

40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: to the window, setting up a colossal rematch here after

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: any unit of State won the first one at Bradley

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So mid majors are alive home teams that

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: are unranked are live as favorites. College basketball what's better

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: than this.

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say that these spots, like a lot

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: of these spots that you know, I've been talking about

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: since the four and days for twenty years, they are

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: starting to get priced much more efficiently. So I've been

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: a lot of these times. I'm choosing to just roll

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: with moneyline on these, yeah, or you have to get

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: them early. I mean, you saw it with Alabama last night.

52
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: What did the line get out to three and a half.

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: They still end up covering, but you have to sweat

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: a lot lay up.

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: At the four and a half yeah, more and a half.

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So these these things are you know, like I

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: say this all the time, but a spot even you know,

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: six seven years ago, where a team would have opened

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: plus three, you know and then close like one, it's

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: opening pick and closing like minus two and a half.

61
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: So the market is much more keen to these spots.

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: You gotta give them early and or just go with

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: money line in some of these spots. Where As you

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: mentioned that what you mentioned was straight up the record.

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: But but some of these lines are going especially if

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: you wait, they're just they're just getting steamed out to oblivion.

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: H R.

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: Randall, I mean, Doc Calbrese. Uh, your punishment is over

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: for your dear Delta devils.

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: Uh.

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,559
Speaker 2: Maybe that's your takeaway from the weak that was Mississippi

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 2: Valley State can't win basketball games? What what do you got?

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll go ahead and do the self imposed sanctions.

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: I'm not going to bet a swat game for at

75
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: least a week. You're going to put myself in time

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: out there. But the A ten come into my rescue.

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: Saint Joe's winning outright against UMass that was a gutsy win.

78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: I think that repositions them to be in the race

79
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: to be a top four team in the A ten.

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: Gives them some confidence winning on the road. But my

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: main takeaway I mentioned this on the Monday pod. I

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: was talking about the three horse race in the SEC

83
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: between Kentucky Tennessee and Auburn, and the big question for

84
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: Auburn was can they get any guard play well?

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: They go to te Town.

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: Johnny Broome has twenty five and fourteen, Jalen Williams eleven rebounds.

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: Queue up the Mike Gundy fartnoise from the from his

88
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: press conference when it comes to the Auburn backcourt. Because

89
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: Denver Jones three for eights nine points. Holloway goes over

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 4: two points. And if it wasn't for a Baker Mazarro

91
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: off the bench, you know, shooting three for eight, they

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: would have had no backward play whatsoever. They still almost win.

93
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: And this is the question for me. They shoot forty

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: one percent as a team against Bama, who we know

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 4: their defensive deficiencies. Like, can I talk myself into Auburn

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 4: winning multiple games, getting to the second weekend, being a

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: real threat in a tournament that is so guard driven.

98
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: I'm just scared. I'm just scared of this backcourt. And

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: I guess for Holloway, you know, you say he's a freshman,

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: he's gonna have games like that. I don't know who's

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: stepping up for Alburn. So that's my takeaway from the

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 4: past three or four days. That was concerning to me.

103
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: I thought we were going to learn a lot about

104
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: the Tigers in that spot. I know it was a

105
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: situational opportunity for Bama to play better to get a

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: key win. They did play better on defense, but I

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: think it says more about the Tigers backcourt issues that

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 4: necessarily it says about Alabama's ceiling.

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I do want to see just a

110
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: little bit more from the Auburn guards on the road

111
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: in SEC play will get a couple more opportunities to

112
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: see them in big games. But I you know, I

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: think that I mean, I don't know if it said

114
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: more about like Auburn was down what sixteen in that

115
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: game and they couldn't make They were one of fifteen

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: from three to start. Alabama was you know, fifty percent

117
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: from three in hostile environment. They almost came back and won.

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: So I saw some good things, but I think it's

119
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: said a lot about Alabama, like you were up sixteen

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: in that game, you were shoot, you were the three

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: point variance is working in your favor, and you almost

122
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: blew that lead. They still have major questions on defense.

123
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: I will say with U mass that was one of

124
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: the Randall chink specials, but they really missed Matt Cross,

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: UH and UH over their their past few games. You

126
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: can really see that. A couple takeaways from me, I'm

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: glad that we went this to compliment Randall. We went

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: with Kentucky for the national title, not SEC futures. Obviously,

129
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: the SEC futures look a lot worse than the lost

130
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: in South Counta, but they still have some they have

131
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: to still figure they still have insane upside. So so

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: I like our national title future, but they still have

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: to work out some kinks on defense. They need to

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: get better and they can. You can't just you're not

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: going to win a national title just out. You can't

136
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: outscore everybody ninety two to eighty eight, and they need

137
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: to just count. Needs to just figure out the right rotation.

138
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: The right rotations come March. So I'm glad we went

139
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: that way, but the Kentucky defense still has some issues.

140
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: We'll say, if they give up ninety on Saturday, we

141
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: know the defense is really in trouble because they play

142
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the corpse of Arkansas. I don't I mean Mark didn't play,

143
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: Brazil didn't even play in the second half. They score.

144
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with Arkansas. It is bad.

145
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: And oh I just wanted to get a shot. A

146
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: team that no one's talking about is you know that's

147
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: now up to like sixteenth in the country is Dayton.

148
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: I love watching Deron Holmes play. He is one of

149
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: the best players in the country. I think that he

150
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: should be an All American this year. I love watching

151
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: him play, and also Boom Booie and boob at home

152
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: can just drag Northwestern to wins with a huge win

153
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: over Illinois at home. But let's get to the futures

154
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: round table. I'll sum up what we have so far.

155
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: We have Texas A and M to get to the

156
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: Final four fourteen to one. That's team way. Taylor drag

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 2: us there and just get every offensive rebound or maybe

158
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: make make some shots one game, that would be nice.

159
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: Then we have Houston plus I think two to twenty.

160
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: I think they're minus one thirty now to win. That

161
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: was a nice addition, Houston to win the Big twelve

162
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: regular season, and Kentucky twenty to one to win the

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: national title. So, if you're new here, we each bring

164
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: one future could be anything, could be a conference could

165
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: be Final four, would be national title. We go around

166
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: the horn, everyone makes their case and at the end

167
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: we each vote. If a tie, then I will split

168
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: the tie. Calburies will go to you first. What are

169
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: you bringing to the futures roundtable this week?

170
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: All right? Can I interest you guys in the fighting

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: a LIONI to make the Final four at nine to one.

172
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: As everyone knows, Shannon Junior now back incorporating into the lineup,

173
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 4: spent one game coming off the bench. Now he's going

174
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: to be a starter. They're going to be potentially a

175
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: top five offense with both him on the floor and Damask,

176
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: who averaged twenty three per game with Shannon Junior out

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: for those four to five games. Overall, what I really

178
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: like about this team too, is they've had seven different

179
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: leading scorers this season, which is the fourth best among

180
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: Power Conference teams according to Evan Maya, So they're not

181
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: overly reliant on one player to play hero ball. But

182
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: I do like what I saw at the end of

183
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: the game where they put the ball into mass hand

184
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: he ends up missing a shot in the lane that

185
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: would have been a win over Northwestern. Instead, by losing

186
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: that game, you still get a decent number, close to

187
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: ten to one. And the other reason why I think

188
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: now is the moment to grab him. Between today and

189
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: March's second, they play exactly one Bit ten opponent with

190
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: a winning conference record, and that's Nebraska at home on

191
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: February fourth. They go the entire month of February other

192
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: than that without playing a big team, Big ten team

193
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 4: with a winning conference record. So I think they're going

194
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 4: to start stacking wins and you're going to see this

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: number get depressed into the six to seven to one

196
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: window and the final piece. I know that Brad Underwood

197
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: has never made it to the second weekend in the

198
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: Uncaate tournament. Well last year we had somebody who was

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: in the same boat and Dan Hurley and he won

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: the national title. So I think that's a little bit overblown.

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: I think he has the versatility, the scoring aw with

202
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: Shannon Junior back, the overall you know, superstar talent to

203
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: be able to take this team to the next level.

204
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: So I think at nine to one, this is the

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: time to get in on the fighting line.

206
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: Yes, certainly have, especially with Shannon, who can get like

207
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: just from an isolation standpoint in the half court can

208
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 2: go up really against anyone in score. So if you're

209
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 2: in a drought, it's huge having him back with you.

210
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: The only thing is like is or I mean, we're

211
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: not going to get into like the legal all the

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: legal bullshit, but uh, like, is there a is there

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: a chance that he doesn't you know, he gets like

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: suspended again.

215
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: Or it seems to me and like won't play armchair.

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: You know, this isn't a courtroom TV. It seems to me,

217
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: based on the judges ruling and the reaction by the

218
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: university and the official statement that they understand that they

219
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 4: can't overstep, like they can't suspend them again without something

220
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: changing materially in his relation with the police or his

221
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: charges or anything like that.

222
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: So at least been and the next court date is

223
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: in May.

224
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: So precisely so, I think that does kick the can

225
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: down the road and leaves him eligible for their mainer

226
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: this season.

227
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Randall, what do you got.

228
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: Saint John's Red Storm to make the Final four? Here

229
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: is why I'm proposing it now, right now, you can

230
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: get them around plus eighteen hundred. First off, this team

231
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: had the COVID issues, players were hurt, Dingle was out,

232
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: so they had the three.

233
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: Game losing streak.

234
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: But hold on a second. They were twelve and four

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: and four and one before that losing streak. They lost

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: to Creighton away. If you watch that game, they should

237
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: have won. There was a loose ball foul call that

238
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: would have secured the game, and they got fouled on

239
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the final shot, which they missed.

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: Fine.

241
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: Creighton a way lost by one.

242
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Seaton Hall game.

243
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Patinos are out right before the game. You can excuse

244
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: that one fine Marquette at home, they lose by one,

245
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: they go down to Nova and they pound them. I've

246
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: watched them pound Nova twice. I watched them play very

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: well against Connecticut, no clinging. I get that, But this

248
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: is the time to buy this team. They have Xavier,

249
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: they have Connecticut at home. If they beat them, these

250
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: odds are gonna skyrocket. I believe there is great chemistry.

251
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: I know it's narrative street guys, but there's great chemistry

252
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: with this team. Patino always gets his teams better, and

253
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: they're always gonna be ready when you get into the tournament.

254
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: Soriano's praising the guy. They need to improve their shooting.

255
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: I get that, but they've come through a stretch where

256
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: players have been out. Patino was out and they lost

257
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: three straight games. This team is going to get hot again.

258
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: I believe they are second team in the Big East,

259
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: next to you, Yukon. Of course, I'm not buying Seaton

260
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: whole solid. I get it, but I'm not buying it.

261
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I think they're better than Marquette. I think this team

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: is for real. I like Saint John's Red Storm. Forget

263
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: what Creighton. We've discussed them at noisy and they didn't

264
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: cover again for me last time as well. Saint John's

265
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Red storm to the final four. They have the talent,

266
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: they have the pieces, they have the depth, they have

267
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: the coach, and right now is a BILO spot plus

268
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred.

269
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: So we have a podcast first. Sorry, Calvaryese, you're out somehow.

270
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: That was my my future.

271
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, you're saying that the holding data on me

272
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: getting this is probably low with both the bets on

273
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: the same pick.

274
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it wasn't like last time when we had

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: a national time. This is the I the exact same pick.

276
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: You actually can find twenty twenty four to one out there.

277
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: I love this bet. I was on it. I did

278
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: a podcast, should have bet more. Shout up my guy

279
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: Will Hill. He asked me of the most underrated team

280
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: in college basketball is? And I it's a tough question

281
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: to answer, as you can. You can answer it from

282
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: many different phases, but many different angles. I said Saint

283
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: John's and you know you had so you had that,

284
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: you know, one point lost to Marquette, one point loss

285
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: to to Creighton. But they also, as you mentioned, they've

286
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: recently dealt with COVID. This is a senior laden team,

287
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: and it was a team that was put together right.

288
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: They didn't have a lot of continuity coming into the year.

289
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: So it's a team that I expect only to get better.

290
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: You have a great tournament coach. And then I mentioned

291
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: the defensive tweet that they made, you know, and they're

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: going with this like complex matchup zone that Morston demand.

293
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: So what does that do well? So far when they've

294
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: used it, it's been very effective, But that also makes

295
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: them extremely difficult to prepare for in a tournament setting.

296
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: And you have a great tournament coach with just seniors

297
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: all over, and you're right, especially if they can beat

298
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: Yukon at home, and I think they'll have a chance

299
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: to do. So look at their let me pull up

300
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: their schedule schedule to you know, close out the year,

301
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: because there are there are some I mean, they got

302
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: the Paul twice, I mean to Paul de Paul covered finally,

303
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: but you know after Connecticut they got the Paul. Ye

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: then to close the year, it's Georgetown, you know, Seaton

305
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: Hall at home, Providence on the road, Georgetown, Creighton at home,

306
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Butler to Paul and Georgetown again. So I mean, I agree,

307
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: this is the time to buy them great tournament coach,

308
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: senior laden team that I think is only going to

309
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: get better, and they have this ah. You know. Another

310
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: thing I like about them is they're not too reliant

311
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: on shooting right, so they can they can hit some threes,

312
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: but they're not They're not an elite shooting team. They

313
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: don't shoot a ton of them and they get a

314
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: ton of offensive rebounds, so they're very immune to just hey,

315
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: we had an off shooting night, so we and we

316
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: get upset by you know, the four teen seed. So

317
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: I really like the Saint John's team, so I will

318
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: say that Cabriy's I did like your case, and I

319
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: like the upside of the Salinois team, so feel free

320
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: to bring them back for the Futures roundtable next.

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I'll make this easy because it's twenty

322
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: four to one. It's a quick rubber stamp from me

323
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: as well. That number is way too good to pass

324
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: up on the Johnny's and even the number that Randall

325
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: brought to the table. I agree with this play. But

326
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: I have a question for both of you. Either one

327
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 4: can answer. You're going to bed with your Felipe Lopez

328
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: footy pajamas. You're all about Saint John's I get it.

329
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: Can you can someone explain to me what's happened with

330
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: Jordan Dingle because I watched the kid play a ton

331
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: at Penn and he could fill it up. Is it

332
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: just confidence issues? Is it something in terms of the rotations?

333
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: Is it something in terms of the way that they're

334
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: using him When he's on the floor with Jenkins, he

335
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: can't score Like you look at his game blog and

336
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: there's so many single digit performances because if he turns

337
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 4: into a fourteen or sixteen point per game score, I

338
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 4: have absolutely think this team has the goods to not

339
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 4: only go to the final four, maybe when the national

340
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: title with Patino, everything that's stuck laid out in terms

341
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: of tournament coaching, I think in that format absolutely true.

342
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 4: Are we going to get the Dingle that we saw

343
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 4: at Penn? Even a shadow of that version? Because at

344
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: this point, like maybe they should be playing him less

345
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: minutes because he's just not doing it. The game last

346
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: night ozho for five from three against Nova in a

347
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: game that they didn't need him, but clearly like is

348
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 4: he a drag on the offense? So I'll pitch it

349
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: to you, guys, is there anything that can be done

350
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: to resurrect his performance.

351
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: I'll go first, Duck. I think the issue with Dingle

352
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: is that he is trying to fit in Mike to

353
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: this team. I think they are all buying in about

354
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: being unselfish, maybe to a false He was a clear

355
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: alpha at Penn. Yes, he's moving up now, I get that,

356
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: but I think he's really overconscious trying to fit in

357
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: and use his role. He will get hot at some point,

358
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: he will regress and I think people will start adjusting.

359
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I just think he's trying to be part of the group.

360
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they have what ten guys averaging ten minutes

361
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: or more per game, so it is a deep rotation.

362
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: But I think when push comes to shove at the

363
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: end of the year, he will start to get hot,

364
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: which goes to Stucky's point, which is why I think

365
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: they have upside good stuck.

366
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean they're whenever he scores and double digits.

367
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: They this year, they've they've been really good, and I

368
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: think that they you know, part of it is he's

369
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: stepping up in class like the physicality of the Big East.

370
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, I just think he's still finding his role.

371
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: They just needed shooting really and he has to just

372
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: find you know, he's he went from just the guy

373
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: like literally at Pen he would have to create every

374
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: single time down the court, right, so he has to

375
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: just find who he is in this offense, and like

376
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's really just being an effective role

377
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: player and someone that stretches opposing defenses. And he just

378
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: needs to settle into that role. And that's he's gonna

379
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: have opportunity to do it. And that's this sing Johnson.

380
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: Like I said, they had no continuity. I mean, what

381
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: were they. Let's see on Ken Pump coming into the year,

382
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: they were three hundred and thirty first in minutes continuity,

383
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: ninth in experience. So it's a bunch of seniors, a

384
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: bunch of guys who have a ton of experience, which

385
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: you like in March. But they were kind of put

386
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: together and they all had these different roles in different places,

387
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: playing different schemes. And I mean, they've been better than

388
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: I think anyone thought so far already. But now you know,

389
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: you still have what twelve games in the Big East

390
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Tournament to eat. And they went through a COVID stretch.

391
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: They went through a stretch where they're changing their defensive scheme.

392
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I agree. I think he's he's one of

393
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: those guys that's like an X factor that just will

394
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: raise their ceiling. And if he can just give them shooting,

395
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: like if he goes like hits, you know, three goes

396
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: three to five from three in a game, makes them

397
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: exponentially more dangerous. So let's we're adding Saint John's to

398
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: make the Final four. Now we just have to hope

399
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: it's not. We don't have like Saint John's and Texas

400
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: A and M in the same pod. She'd be like

401
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: seventeen trillion offensive rebounds in that game. So yeah, we

402
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: have Kentucky to win it all, Houston to win the

403
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 2: Big twelve regular season, Texas A and M to make

404
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: the Final four, and Saint John's to make the Final four.

405
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: Good luck if you're to us, and if you're following

406

414
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: let's get to the weekend. Go around the horn here

415
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 2: and just mentioned some spots that you have circled, and

416
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: when you're out, just let me know Randol thirty first,

417
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: what you got.

418
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is a tough one, but guys, you

419
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: know how difficult it is to beat and cover against

420
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: a team twice within your own conference. Let's go tonight

421
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Michigan State at Wisconsin. Wisconsin is going to be favored

422
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: roughly four points, we think somewhere there. The first time

423
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: they played that was when Malik Hall I believe, was

424
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: ruled out right before the game on December fifth, and

425
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: Wisconsin blasted them seventy to fifty seven. Now, it's not

426
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: a perfect metric, it's not a perfect comparison, but you

427
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: have seen teams bounce back in the second game and

428
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: play much better than that first matchup. Now, this one

429
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: is tricky because it is on the road, but I'm

430
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: taking Michigan State here, who hit rock bottom with the

431
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: lost to Northwestern and then Illinois. They beat Rutgers, they

432
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: beat Minnesota, theyve beat Maryland, started to get going here,

433
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: beat Maryland by two away, but they were comfortable in

434
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: that game. Now they're going to Wisconsin and they're getting points.

435
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me four points there. And you know

436
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: how much I like Wisconsin. I just think it sets

437
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: up as a perfect bounce back spot where people are

438
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: gonna be overvaluing Wisconsin because of their home. I think

439
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: this is a veteran Michigan State team guards play well.

440
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Give me Michigan State plus four points there. I'll take

441
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: them as underdogs on the road tonight, like.

442
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: It got some Friday night flavor in there. God, Rey's

443
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: what you got. I'm going to keep it on Friday Night.

444
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: Let's go Saint Joe's money Line over Saint Bonaventure. I

445
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 4: think the Saint Jose team is not broken. Don't fix

446
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: it exactly. And you know what has broken the Bonnie's offense.

447
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: They're one four in their last five straight up. In

448
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 4: those losses, they're averaging fifty nine points per game. They

449
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 4: needed Charles Pride to come in and be a twenty

450
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 4: point per night score. When he's done that four times

451
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 4: this year. They're three and one straight up. They's only

452
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: done it four times the entire season. They continue to

453
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: struggle on the glass, they make up for it by

454
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 4: turning teams over a lot. They turn over opponents on

455
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: almost eighteen percent of their possessions. But Saint Joe's I

456
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: just think when I look at what they did in

457
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: that last win over UMass, not only did they win,

458
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: but they did it without relying only on the three

459
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: point shot. Yes, they're still taking twenty nine threes per game,

460
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 4: which is top ten nationally, but they only took nineteen

461
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: on Tuesday night and made nine of them. Easton Dooco

462
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 4: has been critical inside. He had three blocks and two steals.

463
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: He's coming into his own a little bit. And Reynolds

464
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: finally pulled out of his slump. He had the confidence.

465
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: He scored thirty one on seventeen shots. I think that's

466
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 4: the pivotal moment of their entire season and the Saint

467
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: Bonaventure team. Other than turning this into a rock fight,

468
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: I don't think that they have a path to victory.

469
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: So I'll go ahead with Saint Jose anything on plus money.

470
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: I'd love to have the Hawks on the road.

471
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: When Calbary's talks the Hawks, you always listen. I think

472
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: that we're probably going to catch I think we'll probably

473
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: catch a little bit too many points with LSU against Alabama.

474
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: I mean I talked about it earlier. Alabama, they had

475
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: everything go right in that game was a great spot.

476
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: You're at home, you're making all your threes. Aburn couldn't

477
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: make these and you barely hold on. They still have

478
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: problems on defense. LSU's playing better of late, come up

479
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: short in a couple of games, but they've been playing

480
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: better since Cook came back. He's still trying to find

481
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: his role. But Alabama won't turn you over, and that's

482
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: when LSU's offense just really runs into problems if you

483
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: can turn them over, because they do turn it over

484
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: too much. But if they don't turn it over, they

485
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: can score. Their defense is pretty good. Bad spot for Alabama,

486
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: just like an emotional letdown. So I think we'll catch

487
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: too many points with LSU here in the double digit range.

488
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: So I'll be looking to fade that Alabama defense having

489
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: to try to cover a big number in a bad spot,

490
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: and it's not a terrible match up for LSU.

491
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: Randall almost brought this one to the futures. Guys, I'm

492
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: staying with Miami. Pittsburgh is going to Miami on Saturday. Now,

493
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: everybody wants to jump on Miami. We'll hold on a second.

494
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: They played Syracuse without o mir inside. That's a big difference.

495
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Lost in overtime at wake Forest, very difficult without Poplar.

496
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: So they've had players, key players in and out of

497
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: the lineup. This is a veteran team. They are still

498
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: shooting well on the season, although they have not been

499
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: great in acc competition. I don't believe in Pittsburgh. I

500
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: don't believe in their offense. I love laying points against

501
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: teams on the road who cannot make free throws. Pittsburgh

502
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: is sixty six percent in the conference this year, sixty

503
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: eight percent on the season. I like Miami. It's going

504
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: to be a low number because you have a Pittsburgh

505
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: team that beat Duke Away without some key players Georgia

506
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: tech Away, congratulations with that. I don't believe in Pittsburgh.

507
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Capele. He got his win against

508
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Duke and now Miami comfortably won that game at Notre Dame.

509
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: I know nobody cares it's Notre Dame. I understand that,

510
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: but there's still a talented team. Brought back a lot

511
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: of players from last year. Omir came back inside. You

512
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: have a great coach, They shoot well, they make their

513
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: free throws. Their home, this number projects to be around four.

514
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: I'd like seven to eight in this game. I think

515
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: Miami comes out and pounds Pittsburgh. I just think Pittsburgh

516
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: can score enough to keep up with Miami at home.

517
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: Who is really one of the best teams. Early in

518
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: the season, besides the Blitz lost to Kentucky, they were

519
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: playing well. I think they get it right here and

520
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay the points against Pittsburgh.

521
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: Buying on the Miami bounce back copies.

522
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 4: We got revenge spot James Madison go into app State.

523
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 4: I like jmu on the money line here. Listen to

524
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: the Mountaineers. They're all about defense, one of the very

525
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 4: best mid major defenses in the country. I can run

526
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: it down their fifth and opponent shooting efficiency. They never

527
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 4: sent teams to the foul line, which is something I

528
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: generally love. Less than fourteen attempts per game for their opponents,

529
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 4: and they close out possessions their ninth and defensive rebounding.

530
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 4: But if you watch their win over JMU, they won

531
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: fifty nine to fifty five in a rock fight.

532
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: I think they were down with like two minutes ago.

533
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 4: Exactly, and they blew a sixteen point first half lead.

534
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: And this is why I'm fading him here. I'm just

535
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: not going to deal with the scoring goals. The Mountaineers

536
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: scored four points in the final nine minutes and seventeen

537
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 4: seconds of the first half, Like that is not a typo,

538
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: That is not a mistake. That is actually how they

539
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: performed in the game that they won. I just see

540
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 4: the Dukes bouncing back, shooting better. Terrence Edwards has got

541
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: to play better, but TJ. Bickerstaff as well, I think

542
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 4: has more left in the tank offensively. Edwards said six

543
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: turnovers in that first game and Bickerstaff only at six points.

544
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: I see a correction towards you know, their average performance

545
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: on both of those stats. And I think JM you,

546
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: even if it ends up closing, you know, basically, as

547
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: a pick, I still like the Dukes in this game.

548
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna get plus money on it. And

549
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 4: I think this is a nice bounce back reven spot

550
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: for them.

551
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 2: They have to make some threes. They didn't think they

552
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: shot horrendously in that in that first meeting. But as

553
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: long as they can make some threes here. I have

554
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: a ton of respect for Dustin Kerns and they can

555
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: really defend the rim. But yeah, Jamie should be right

556
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: in this game. That should be a good one. Speaking

557
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: of app State, who beat Auburn at home. They lost

558
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: at Northern Illinois earlier this season. Who's six and twelve.

559
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: They are winless in the MAC. They're going on the

560
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: road to ball State. They're the only winless team. I

561
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: think we'll get a little and play a number I

562
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: mean the MAC home unless it's like Kent State. You know,

563
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: Akron fans fighting each other is nothing, especially in a

564
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: meaningless late January Saturday game. This Northern Illinois still has

565
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: some talent on offense. Ball State can't defend. And Northern

566
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: Illinois had the number one strength of conference schedule. They have,

567
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, a top eighty overall schedule ball State has played.

568
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean their comfort, their overall strength of schedules three

569
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: hundred and forty fifth. You know, they just crushed Buffalo Buffalo,

570
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: by the way, is a disaster. The Buffalo has to

571
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: be a professor respectable program. They are, Yeah they there

572
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: are two and sixteen. One of the wins came against

573
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: Roberts Wesleyan whatever that is. So yeah, I'm not buying

574
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: in the ball state here. I think this game is

575
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: one possession. This game, it's good time to buy Northern Illinois.

576
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: So some action with the Huskies, the windless Huskies on

577
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: the road. I actually think they get the outright win. Randall.

578
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: Last one for me, guys, Let's go to the IVY League.

579
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: I like Cornell here at home on Saturday against Princeton.

580
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: You know, I want to stay in a couple guys

581
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: from Cornell. They were really nice the gaming ride home.

582
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: I seriously doubt that anyone from Cornell dated you.

583
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: It's pronounced colonel. It's the highest rank in the military.

584
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: It's pronounced Cornell. It's the highest rank in the IVY League.

585
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: They're gonna be getting points.

586
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: I think they're the better team. Prince has been great

587
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: all year, but Cornell is battle tested, has played some

588
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: tough games. Decent competition here has looked good. They didn't

589
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: lose away at Baylor, but that was a tough game.

590
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: They shoot threes well, they're great inside the ark, they

591
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: force a lot of turnovers. I just like the fact

592
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: that I'm getting points. I mean, could Princeton eke it out, sure,

593
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: but you're gonna give me three points, maybe even four

594
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: points here with Cornell at home. Cornell's beating Princeton at home.

595
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 1: I believe three of the last four times they've played

596
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: Little IVY League, we got three teams tied to top

597
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: of the IVY League with Princeton, Yale, and Cornell and

598
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: Princeton here, not only Cornell. On Saturday following week they

599
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: go to Yale, they play Yale. So I'm gonna go

600
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: with Cornell against Princeton in IVY League action on Saturday.

601
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: Got some iv in there, Gabr's got anything left.

602
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to a conference I never really

603
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 4: picked from just kidding the A ten one more time

604
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: Dayton layon two at Richmond's stuck brought him up. This

605
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: team is an absolute wagon, thirteen straight wins, eight and

606
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: five against the spread in that stretch.

607
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: They're three point.

608
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: Shooting Mega Elite seventh nationally forty percent. And it compliments

609
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 4: Homes perfectly because his play has just been off the charts.

610
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: He's a tenth raded player in America by Gamescore Efficiency ratings,

611
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: and since December ninth, he's averaging twenty three and a

612
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: half points, nine boards, and three and a half stocks.

613
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: But this is the stat that I love the most.

614
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: He's only gotten into foul trouble twice since since September ninth,

615
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: But even playing with four fouls, he played thirty six

616
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: minutes against UMAs and thirty five minutes against Troy. When

617
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 4: your best player is also a big in college basketball,

618
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: with only five fouls to go around, you have to

619
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: be able to play and adjust your game when you

620
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: have foul trouble to stay on the floor. He always

621
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: does that. Now you got.

622
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: Richmond playing at home.

623
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 4: There's six and one in ten, but half of them they.

624
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: Stop Jordan King. Can they stop Jordan King? As the

625
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: cousse precisely.

626
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: He has gone off three times in the last five games,

627
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: thirty one against Mason, twenty four against Davidson, thirty two

628
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: against George Washington. But I think this Dayton defense is

629
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: really good. They're twentieth in opponent shooting efficiency. I think

630
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 4: they're going to be able to at least keep him

631
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: in check so he doesn't score in the thirties, because

632
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: I think that's what it's going to require for the

633
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: Spiders to beat a Dayton team that outside of that

634
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: point guard position, they're better at every position on the floor.

635
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 4: So I'll take the Flyers as a short favorite on

636
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: the road.

637
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually really the forward to that game. I'll

638
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: throw out two I'll give you. I'll make you guys,

639
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: just you pick one, which what you'd like better? Just

640
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: for the listeners at home, do would you feel more

641
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: comfortable betting on and I guess I'll use We'll use

642
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: ken Pom projected spreads? Would you feel more comfortable betting

643
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: on Ohio State eight plus three? At Northwestern? Was you know,

644
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: hoping that we get a little bit more, but you

645
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: know after that big win, they have no depth by

646
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: the way Northwestern place, you know, place five guys basically

647
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: who all played like forty five minutes in that game

648
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: against Ohio State. Do I think matches up decently? And

649
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: I just don't like Northwestern is not a team I

650
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: ever want to bet in the favorite role. I mean,

651
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: this is also a team you gotta remember that lost

652
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: to Chicago State at home. So I'll be looking at

653
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Would like to get a little more than that.

654
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: But and then do we trust Oregon at home against

655
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: Arizona projected spread here as seven. But it's a great

656
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: spot probably open less defense both these teams by to night.

657
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: I believe, I'm aware their transition d is not it

658
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: does not great out well, which scares me against Arizona.

659
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: But this is Arizona team who we've seen on the road,

660
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: and you know, they lost Fau on a neutral, they

661
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: lost a Purdue on a semi neutral. We've seen them

662
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: lose at Washington's. Stanford as not been the same team

663
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: away from home since that Duke game early in the year.

664
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: Oregon has had guys, you know, you have Dante back now,

665
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: which just makes them a different team overall. They've had

666
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: guys in and out. They've had so many injuries that

667
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: I think that they're a little undervalued in the market.

668
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: I think they're the second best team in the Pac twelve.

669
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: Home smash spot against Arizona might depend on what happens

670
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: tonight in the Pac twelve. But those are two that

671
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: I was looking at that might you know, some might

672
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: be like I don't want to pull the trigger.

673
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: I think the only question forget about Ohio State put

674
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: Ohio State, is that the only real question is you

675
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: go on moneyline in Oregon or the points? Because I

676
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: do think situationally it's great them getting healthy. I think

677
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: this is the last time you're probably going to get

678
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 4: a nice sweet number on them. So I don't know.

679
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: I think it may be time to roll the dice

680
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: and have like a Marquee season defining win. Somebody has

681
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 4: to step up into that second and third role in

682
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 4: the Pac twelve, and I think this is their moment.

683
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I've some sprinkled and maybe they'll hit

684
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: the round robin to Saturday round robin. Randall, Yeah, I

685
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 2: like both spots. I think they're great.

686
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of like Oregon State and it

687
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: was at seventeen points. I mean there's something crazy like that.

688
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: Arizona very shaky to me. I do not see them

689
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: as an elite team. We're still living off the win

690
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: over Duke in the back to back hundred point games

691
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: at home against Belmont ut Arlington. Whenever you're going to

692
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Love as your main person, I think it's questionable here.

693
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: I love the spot for Oregon. They're finally healthy. They

694
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: played well against Utah there, that's a tough trip bounce

695
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: back spot. Yeah, I and the points are going to

696
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: be huge. I like both of them because I also

697
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: think Northwestern is going to be overvalued here, especially with Northwestern.

698
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Don't they have Purdue after this?

699
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: After that game Northwestern?

700
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, So, I

701
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: mean I love both stuff. To be honest with you,

702
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: I playing both.

703
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: And the last piece here, like, what's wrong with Kylon Boswell?

704
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: He had in two of his last three games, he

705
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 4: scored zero against Washington State and three against UCLA.

706
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: Like, that's not.

707
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: Going to cut it. That's not the player I thought

708
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 4: he was going to be. Certainly he started the year

709
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: with looks like seven of his first eight games in

710
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: double digits. I thought that was the player we were

711
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: going to get the whole way. And someone who's facilitating

712
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: a lot of offense. I mean, twenty five points twenty

713
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 4: five minutes against Wazoo, zero points, zero assists, like alarm

714
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: bells have to be going off in particularly in a

715
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: Tommy Lloyd offense. That's Taylor made for you to generate

716
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 4: and facilitate offense. So I just I don't understand what's

717
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: happened to him?

718
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will. I'll throw one other one. Let's go

719
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: to the Valley. Missouri State double overtime win over Drake. Now,

720
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, before playing Southern Illinois, they go to Valpo.

721
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: And I'm still not a believer in this Missouri State team.

722
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: And by the way, on the road this year, yeah,

723
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 2: they blew a lead again West Virginia, they got blown

724
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: out by Drake. They lost a Middle Tennessee who's horrendous.

725
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: They cannot score. They lost a Tulsa. They did beat

726
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's on the road, but that's it. I mean,

727
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: the road numbers are very discouraging. But this is a

728
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 2: Valpo team that had I mean, it was a brand

729
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: new team, no experience, extremely young, no continuity, and is

730
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: playing a little better of late. They've won two of four,

731
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: you know, they were They lost a close game at Evansville,

732
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: they lost a close game at SIU, they won at

733
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: Illinois State, they beat Illinois Chicago at home. They're playing

734
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: a lot better. It's a team that's like kind of

735
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: rounding into form. So I think it's a good spot

736
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: to buy them against Missouri State. Calibury's anything else in

737
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: the swack or a ten that you want to mention. No,

738
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: I think I emptied the barrel.

739
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 4: On the eight ten. And yeah, we'll all put the

740
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 4: swack on.

741
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: The back burner.

742
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe hit them up for a conference tournament week

743
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 4: in six weeks.

744
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff there, randall, nothing else from you.

745
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, good to go, man.
