They just go throw me off 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 3: to the basket. 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: Under the basket, it's down a seven second. 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: It's the croup for the wind. 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: God pick go americle. I it's the water hit, that 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 3: one from the parking lot. 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Shuck it all. 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: In college basketball, it's not the size on the dog 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: in the fight, it's the size of the fight in 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: the dog. 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 4: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast.

Fellas, let's dive in. 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 4: I got cute little sections to go through with you guys. 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Most of all. 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 4: Jim, Holy shit, college hoops is back. I'm excited. I'm 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 4: just excited to talk lines. 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: What do you think, Kaya, how do you feel about 27 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: there being one hundred and twenty on the first day. 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: I kind of yeah, it. 29 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: Feels like in Scarface where Tony Montagna just has the 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: massive mountain of cocaine. It's like, I don't know if 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: you need that much. 32 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 4: No, no, no, Yeah, it's a been overkilled Jim all a bit. 33 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: And it's crazy. Of course for us behind the scenes, 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 4: with everything we do with college basketball, Matt I would 35 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 4: have preferred probably I don't know half this many games. 36 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 4: Wednesday is going to be a weird reprieve. We're going 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 4: to get, you know, twenty games max on that day. 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: That'll feel like a nice little break for us. Yeah, 39 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: it's almost torturous. 40 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to continue at Jim's drug analogy there, 41 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: but you know, more of like a slow, steady dose 42 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: throughout the week, more of like a waterboarding type of 43 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: torture as opposed to just excessive level eleven pain right 44 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: off the bat. But hey, we'll get morphine drip, yes, 45 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: just slow, more organic like a Runners high, like a 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: natural Runners high spread over a long. 47 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: Period of time. 48 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 4: Well, let me paint the picture for the audience at 49 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: home here. We're gonna do a few sections for this 50 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: week for this podcast. We're gonna look at some live 51 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 4: Dogs of the Week, So we're gonna take you through 52 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: a couple teams we think can win outright as underdogs 53 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: presumed underdogs. We're gonna be referencing Kim Palm for our 54 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: projected spreads. 55 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: Here. 56 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 4: Second section blowout City teams we think are going to 57 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: absolutely destroy the spread. This week, Power Games of the Week, 58 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 4: so we're looking at the Power six conferences highlighting the 59 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 4: best contests of the week. I've been major game of 60 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 4: the Week, a claw your eyes out game of the Week. Basically, 61 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: if you bet on these games, you don't really want 62 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: to watch them on TV. It's not gonna be good 63 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: for your health, your vision, all that stuff. 64 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: And especially if you don't bet on them, don't watch them. Right, 65 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: if you don't even have a wagering interest, find another game, 66 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: go to the movie theater, hang out with your family, 67 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: your dog. Don't watch these games. 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe get a nice little workout in Jim, stay 69 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 4: healthy out there. And then finally we'll spotlight something new 70 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: on every podcast going into the week. This week, we're 71 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 4: going to be talking some swack road schedules, so stay 72 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 4: tuned for that, get excited for it. Let's start with 73 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: live Dogs of the Week, fellas have a couple of 74 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 4: games here picked out. I'm going to start with Jim here. 75 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 4: South Dakota State at Alabama. The jack Bunnies are one 76 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: of our favorite mid major teams. They're good every single year. 77 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: They bring everyone back. This game with Alabama is on Friday, 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: and Jim, you have, admittedly but a Nate Oats stand 79 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 4: over the last year or two. Do you think South 80 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: Dakota State can pull the upset or cover the presumed 81 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: twelve ish points spread. 82 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Of the entire planet, I'm in 83 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: the top like twenty fans of Natoates, like no one 84 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: else has really rivaled me in the college basketball space. 85 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: But I do fear for them a little bit here 86 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: because South Dakota State is fantastic. Alabama's still rocking with 87 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: some injury issues early in the year. Alex Chicu's not 88 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: going to be ready off the bench. He's suspended for 89 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: two games. They're really reliant on that backcourt Matt three 90 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: Ja's I'm trying to come up with a good nickname 91 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: for them. You know the movie Edge of Tomorrow that 92 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: he's in. J squad As I got right now, Well, 93 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: JD dat Javon Kwinery, Jayden Shackelford. 94 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: The Marple Hooks, triple J's. Now, now we're gonna order 95 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: what will work? Shot that work? 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: The Killer Bees, but J's doesn't really have the smoking j's. 97 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 98 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna play. It's gonna play at a 99 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: really high number in Alabama. With the pace they play at. 100 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: South Kota State has no problem get up and down. 101 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: And you're right, Jim, that matchup up front is going 102 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 3: to be key. Dougie Wilson aka Dougie Fresh as we 103 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: call him here, had some injury issues last year. When 104 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: healthy and at his best, he's a weapon or South 105 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: Dakota State, and that's an avenue where they can exploit Alabama. 106 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: I think this is we saw the Crimson Tybee emerging 107 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: one of the most lockdown, steming defenses last year. We 108 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: would expect them to be toward the upper end of 109 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: the spectrum this season as well. But losing Herb Jones, 110 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to be as devastatingly awesome 111 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 3: on that end of the floor. Not State moves the 112 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: ball so well, so tough team to prepare for on 113 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: shirt rest. I just don't see any team stopping any 114 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: other team in this matchup. So I think the implied 115 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: total is close to what high one sixties and I'm 116 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: doing my back the Napkin math here correct, Kai a 117 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: lot of points, though, a ton of points. 118 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: I'm glad you mentioned Doug Wilson, the force inside of 119 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: South Dakota State. Pay attention how Louisiana tach how Kenneth 120 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 4: Lofton in particular does against Alabama Tuesday, so yesterday. For 121 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: you folks listening out there, he'll be a good indication, 122 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 4: a good litmus test for what you can expect Alabama's 123 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: interior de evens to look like there might be an 124 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: advantage there for the jack Bunnies. 125 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: I'm going to say there is an advantage there Kai, 126 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: because Charles Bettiaco, the center for Alabama, I have not 127 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 2: been impressed with him. I don't think he's quite ready. 128 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: Is the freshman top forty fringe four star like almost 129 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: a five star prospect. I'm not sure he's going to 130 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: come in and be like the shutdown paint defender. And 131 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: if he's not, then you're turning to like Juwan Garry, 132 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: who's a little smaller, or Noah Gurley, the Furman transfer 133 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: is also thinner or smaller. They could be in trouble 134 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: in the paint in both of these first two matchups. 135 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: I mean props to Oates for what he's done with 136 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: the schedule. I think he's already on a couple podcasts 137 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: like John Rostein's that he just regrets the insane gauntlet 138 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: that he's given his team. It's going to be quite 139 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: the test for them early. And you know, I think 140 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: Alabama will win, but you have to lean towards the 141 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: jack Bunnies on the spread. 142 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at last er two ki jack Bunnies 143 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: played West Virginia and UTAs State and that mte very 144 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: close and they dominate. You toss State with one of 145 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 3: the largest teams in college basketball last year, so they've 146 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: already proven they can hang with the top end of 147 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: Power conference size and athletes. I don't think they'll be 148 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: overwhelmed necessarily by Alabama here. So definitely a concern if 149 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: you're looking to lay the points with the Crimson Tide, 150 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: which I'm not not in the camp at TVD on. 151 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 4: That spread, Matt, I'm going to go right back to 152 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: you for another game here. SMU at Oregon kim Pom 153 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 4: projects is spread on Friday the twelfth to be around 154 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 4: six points. Now, I think we all like Oregon, we 155 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: know they're going to be good this year, especially in 156 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: March early on, though they might struggle. And Tim Djakovic, 157 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: the coach of SMU met he's fighting for his job 158 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 4: this year. Literally, he is on the hot seat. SMU 159 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: needs to show up this non conference season in the 160 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: AAC as well. Do you think SMU is a fighting 161 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: chance to beat the Ducks outright in Eugene? It's unfortunate. 162 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 4: I love both these teams. 163 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: Jim and I have been on record, We've been riding 164 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: the Pony Express for years, and as long as King 165 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: Kendrick Davis is the conductor of said train, there will 166 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: be very few times where you see me fade the 167 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: Pony Express. However, traveling to the pit up in Oregon 168 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 3: notoriously strong home court there with the Ducks notoriously tough 169 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: system style to prepare for data all MC can throw 170 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: multiple types of defenses at you. Jim Organ's front line 171 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: is where I have some slight concerns. That's probably only 172 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: nitpick we have for them at this current moment in 173 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: the season. They expect to get in the Valley Dante 174 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: back hopefully at some point, but right now they don't 175 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: have that in tier enforcer, at least none that's proven. 176 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,119 Speaker 3: But SMU is not really a team that's going to score. 177 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: They're not going to boil you inside. So I don't 178 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: know if they can really exploit that. It's a tough 179 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: spot for SMU. That's awesome. 180 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: And maybe if Tristan Clark from Baylor, if he is 181 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: ready to rock, he's fully cleared medically, if he's just 182 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: like actually what he was a couple of years back 183 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: when he was leading the entire country and field goal 184 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: percentage and dominating the paint on both ends of the court, 185 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: then yeah, I think you could give them some serious 186 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: problems in there. And guys, you mentioned Weathers. He's a 187 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: physical beast. That's all he did for Duquane. He was like, oh, 188 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm six or five. No, I'm a power forward. I 189 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: don't care what you think of me. I'm a brute inside. 190 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: So they're gonna need Quincy Garrier here. You're gonna need 191 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: Nate Briddle. Biddle the freshman coming in for Oregon, and 192 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: Frank Ketnang, the big guy who enrolled mid season last year. 193 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to show up for the Ducks. I 194 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: think I kind of think SMU is going to get 195 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: this done. And that's coming from a guy who's very 196 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: high on the Ducks. So I know we're at the 197 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: end of the section and I'll pick one that actually happened. 198 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: Might be the Ponies for me. 199 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and keep an eye. SMU has a lot of transfers. 200 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 4: They might start as many as four transfers this year. 201 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: Could see a bit of a some hiccups early on. 202 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: But man, Kendrick Davis at the point of attack. We 203 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 4: love that from SMU. One more here Wafford at Clemson. 204 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: Of course, you guys can choose your live dog outside 205 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: of these three games. Just highlighting a couple for the 206 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 4: fans out there. Pom has this one palm that is 207 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 4: Jim has this about nine points. This game is happening 208 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: Friday as well. Clemson Tigers a little down this year. 209 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: Life without Emir Sims there do everything forward from last 210 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: year could be rough. They don't really overwhelm anymore with 211 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: size athleticism. That's good for a Wafford team that doesn't 212 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 4: have a lot of that either. We know they can shoot, 213 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 4: we know they're well coached. Do you think Wafford can 214 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: pull the upset against Clemson potentially? 215 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: The whispers out of Wafford's camp in their preseason were 216 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 2: pretty glowing. Reportedly beat Belmont in a scrimmage, and Matt 217 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: who's the other. 218 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: Team that they be lanking? I agree. I have like 219 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: a plus ten next to the ratings, just because like 220 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: everything around was like, oh my god, this team is 221 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: not twenty eighteen good, but certainly trending in that direction. 222 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and you know, part of that probably involves 223 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: some really hot shooting, but that's what you need if 224 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna get like a giant killer performance from Wafford, 225 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: and that team is fully capable of launching from three 226 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: and knocking down from the perimeter even without Storm Murphy. Kay, 227 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to go to a sort of 228 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: tangentially related Wafford that is my dog of the week. 229 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: But I'll let that way in on this one first. 230 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna take Watford money line. Clemson is always 231 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: undervalued and disrespected by the market because the roster is 232 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: like the anti sexy nothing of no player on this team. 233 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: This roster is like, oh yeah, like big fan of 234 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: that guy. I mean there's a solid players, but they're 235 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 3: mostly gritty, grimy Doe who you know. They make their 236 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: pay in the defensive end. That's a Brad Brownouse special. 237 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: So there's not gonna be like a calendar monthly. 238 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: No, No, this will not be featured. No, this game 239 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: will not be featured on Size next edition, So I 240 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: think you can you can safely assume that we'll still 241 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: subscribe to that and it will still be a very 242 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: mistetically pleasing cover. This game will not be the only 243 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: thing I'll enjoy watching about this game is Wahper Mickshaut, 244 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: which I expect them to. The offense that they run 245 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: tough to prepare for Clemson always fantastic defensively. I think 246 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 3: this spread will be around seven, and I think it's 247 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: gonna be pretty good money line value for the Terriers. 248 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: And as we know, God loves a terrier. 249 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 4: God loves a terrier. Best in Show shout out to 250 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 4: that amazing movie, Matthew is Wafford your live dog of 251 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: the week. It is My live dog of the week is. 252 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: The jack Rabbits from South Dakota State. 253 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: Chim. 254 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: I love those guys, you know, idea, I'm gonna pick 255 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 4: them all year long get used to it. 256 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: I just don't like that. You said, Jack rabbits, stick 257 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: to your guns. 258 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, jack bunnies, Jack bunnies. Yeah, it's a proper name. 259 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: All right, guys, I said, I'm going tangentially related to Wafford. 260 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: They're old coach Mike Young. Virginia Tech on Friday, going 261 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: on the road to Navy playing at Annapolis. I think 262 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: the Midshipmen can get this done. They do lose their 263 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: best player, the point guard from last season, but they're 264 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: just really well coached that the defense is solid. They're 265 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: going to turn that game into kind of a gross slog. 266 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech's more than willing to play in the half 267 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: court as well. I think that one's gonna come down 268 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: to the end. And Navy has kind of been the 269 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: bane of our existence the past couple of years, covered 270 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: games against US, and you know what, it's time for 271 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: me to get on the board with the c troops, 272 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: the Ocean troops. I'm in on Navy this week. 273 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: I'm just glad that we're finally coming around on Navy. 274 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 3: It's been I don't know if there's a team that's 275 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: that's pillaged dar Bank accounts harder than Navy the last 276 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: two seasons and like, not just consistently, but in the 277 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: most soul fashion. 278 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 4: Yeah I will. I will not take that bet, but 279 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 4: I appreciate you you saying it. Navy's a bitch to 280 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: play against. 281 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: What a schedule. 282 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: By the way, Virginia Virginia Tech in the same week 283 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 4: for them, that's brutal. Kudos to Mike Young for scheduling 284 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: that game at Navy. 285 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: Good for him. I just think they're gonna be a 286 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: little bit down this year. Yeah, not for me. 287 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 4: All right, next section, blowout city guys. These are favorites 288 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 4: that are gonna decimate their opponents, and I'm starting with 289 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 4: Seaton Hall. Seaton Hall is hosting Fairley Dickinson today, Wednesday, 290 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: November tenth. It's not going to be close. Fairly, Dickinson 291 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 4: has not allowed less than one point one points per 292 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 4: possession in a season under grey CARENDA and it's been 293 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: like a decade. 294 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: They suck. 295 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: They're defense gonna blow Jim Seaton Hall is gonna score it. Well. 296 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: It's it's a bummer because I like, I don't think 297 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: they're going to be as bad as some people are 298 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: playing them up to be. But there's no defense for 299 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: their defense, to put it cutely, they're never good. They're 300 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 2: just never good on that end, and they don't really 301 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: have the pieces to be better this season. And that's 302 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: a problem against Seaton Hall, whose question marks are on 303 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: the offensive end. But if you can't stop him, it 304 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. And I think fairly Dickinson is going to 305 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: have a tough time scoring matt because as we we know, 306 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: we love the length the Seaton Hall team has. 307 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, all the lovable players for Pairley Dickinson have gone, 308 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: you know, Jilil Jenkins, Elijah Williams. It's basically a bunch 309 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: of freshman sophomores at this point. And herrendo is very 310 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: adamant and all the off season press clinics like it's 311 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: going to take time, like please lower your expectations up front, 312 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: and this just screams like we're going to walk out 313 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: there sort of trial and air some stuff, get our 314 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: feet underneath us, and Seton Hall just wobs by forty. 315 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: So I think Seton Hall is is a very safe 316 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: large favorite here. 317 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 4: This will be my blowout team of the week. Seaton 318 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 4: Hall market it down. Pirates are Matthew, You're all modern 319 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 4: Indiana's hosting then Illinois and Northern Illinois is going through 320 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: a coaching change. Berno comes in from Arizona State from 321 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 4: Bobby Hurley's staff. There's some turnover on this roster that 322 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: looked very good, and we said, I believe last week 323 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 4: in our futures preview Indiana as a team we're looking 324 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 4: at to exceed expectations. What do you like here in 325 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 4: terms of Indiana being able to blow out or the Millinois. 326 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: Here's what I don't like from Northern Illinois perspective. They're 327 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: coming from Washington. They're gonna be playing at Washington Tuesday, 328 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 3: so yesterday we've listen to this on Wednesday, so they 329 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: have to go for Middle of America out West, a 330 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 3: game that I think we see them being shelled, and 331 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: then they have to come back to the Midwest and 332 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: play Indiana, who will also have a game under their 333 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: belt under a new coach with a ton of talent. 334 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: You'll see Indiana I think, played very well as a 335 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: favorite after they get a game or two underneath him. 336 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: So this is sort of that ripe spot to hit 337 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: the Hoosiers. With that really deep roster that they have, 338 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: it's going to be hard for them to take their 339 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: put off the gas with a bench that should go 340 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: five p sixty after their top five. Tamar Bates is 341 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: the only notable injury there, so the Hoosiers could put 342 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: the hurt on the Husky chim and just a talent 343 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: depleted roster. There's nothing exciting about Niu and any regard 344 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: and it's especially depressing. 345 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: We look at this basketball. 346 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: Roster and they want to run Bernou wants to run 347 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: unders as a former early guy, which sets up for 348 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: getting destroyed that There was a Burno quote I forget 349 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: where I read it about the Mac where he was like, yeah, 350 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: hopefully we can get into that top eight and make 351 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: the postseason tournament. It's like, ooh, those are low dreams. 352 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: That tells you where that program is at right now. 353 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: Really reaching for the stars in that one. Finally, Colorado 354 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 4: State is a team that's getting a lot of hype 355 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 4: this preseason. Could be a top twenty team. Eco Medved 356 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: is a favorite of ours, the coach for Colorado State. 357 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: They're oasteing Arkansas Pine Bluff and Jim I think Arkansas 358 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 4: Pine Bluff might be a bottom five team in the 359 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: country this year. 360 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: This could get ugly. 361 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,239 Speaker 2: I resent you not calling them by their proper name, Arkansas. 362 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: Arkansas Peanut Butter. 363 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, this is PB and Jay Arkansas Peanut Butter. Yeah, 364 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: they're going to be bad. I kind of want to 365 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: say I'm going to holster my discussion of this for 366 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: the swax schedule exploration because Peanut Butter is on a 367 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: bit of a journey. Matthew and well, I agree with Kay. 368 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: They are not my pick for blowout of the week. 369 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, So just for context, Peanut Butter is now coached 370 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: by former Oarl Roberts assistant Solomon Boseman. I believe young, 371 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 3: I think mid to low thirties, one of the many 372 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: up and coming presumed stars in the coaching ranks. We 373 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: haven't seen him do anything yet though, and he was 374 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: very adamant about this is a long term project. They're 375 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: ditching the zone that they played the last couple of years, 376 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: which made them kind of a fun, feisty dog. We 377 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: saw them beat Iowa State, give a few other mid 378 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: high majors competitive bouts. This is not a team that's 379 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: going to play well as underdog. Again, it's similar to 380 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: the Northern Illinois situation. It's new coach, talent, depleted roster, 381 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: wholesale style change that will play terribly as an underdog, 382 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: especially in this kind of early, get feet, wet, tinker 383 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: with stuff part of the season. All these swack teams 384 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: take these games like exhibitions, and I think this is 385 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: another example here. 386 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: So who is your blowout team of the week, Matthew? 387 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: I have Indiana. I think that you astutely pointed out 388 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: two of my major bets going forward, So yes, I 389 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 3: will stay on the board for my first two sections here, 390 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: I have another off the beaten path to selection. For 391 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: these later. 392 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: Sections, I'm going off board. I am taking Temple, even 393 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: though it will be their first game of the year. 394 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: They're playing Maryland Eastern Shore on the second game of 395 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: back to back. The Eastern Shore is playing twice in 396 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: a row in Philly at Saint Joe's. Yesterday they were 397 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: at Saint Joe's and I presume they got killed, and 398 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: they're playing Temple today again. We're recording this Tuesday, so 399 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: I can't see the future, but I think they're going 400 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 2: to just get shelled second day in a row. Temple 401 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: has a really big and athletic backcourt. They can get 402 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: to the rim. Eastern Shore not going to play much defense, 403 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 2: if any and their offense might be the worst than 404 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: the entire country. So Kai I'm going with Temple. 405 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 4: Eastern Shore is projected to not be favored in any 406 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: game this season. They're going to be a favorite of 407 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 4: ours to fade all year long. So stay tuned for that. 408 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 4: I Rey said, mind Seaton Hall Pirates, Go Seaton Hall. 409 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 4: All right, Section three, here we go, power game of 410 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 4: the week. These are the big boys. These are the 411 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: teams and the games you're going to want to watch primetime. 412 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 4: Let's set it up here. Villanove at UCLA on Friday, 413 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 4: heavyweight battle. The Weave gets to put their money where 414 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 4: their mouth is on this one, because guys, we've kind 415 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 4: of talked down UCLA a little bit. We've talked them 416 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 4: off the ledge. People think they're a top three team, 417 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 4: top five team. We think they're a little worse than that, 418 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: but still very very good. And Villanova met a team 419 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 4: we ranked very highly in the offseason, a team that's 420 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: extremely well coached. Personally, I think Jay Wright wins his 421 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 4: coaching battle. And I just love the idea of Villanova 422 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: as a dog against anybody, right. 423 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jimmy mentioned this yesterday. It reminds me of the 424 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 3: situation when they went into Texas where just any time 425 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 3: you're catching Vilenova as a underdog, it's probably a good wager. 426 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: They're getting I think a fair amount of hype this year, 427 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: but they're not crowned as like one of the perennial 428 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: Clearcut front runners like we've seen in the years past. 429 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: The roster has some holes, mostly upfront, an area where 430 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 3: UCLA can exploit. But this is not a typical mac 431 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: Cronin team like yeah, in Cincinnati, they have size and 432 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: upfront and they can play inside out, but this is 433 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 3: not overwhelming send five six, seven to five wingspan guys 434 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: to the glass. It's more balanced, it's more skill based. 435 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 3: Cronin has recruited more talent, so he's adapting to that, 436 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 3: and I think it actually helps Nova. I think it's 437 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: more of a just a general type of inside out 438 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: basketball game, and I think Vilenova, You're right, kind of 439 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: coaching advantage will shine in that type of matchup. 440 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, here's here's how I'll frame it. I want to 441 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: bet Villanova. I don't know that the market's going to 442 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: give me what I want here. Ken Palm's only got 443 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: this at four because he's a little lower on UCLA, 444 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: bart Torvick is higher, and if we get to spread 445 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: that bart Torvik is offering, like I believe six or 446 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 2: seven that I'm in, but I only make this around three, 447 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: So I'm not ready to go to war at four. 448 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 2: As much as I love Jay Wright as an underdog 449 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: and a game planner going across the country here, but 450 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 2: it's going to depend on number for me. 451 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: Kai, Yeah, I go real quick here. I have them 452 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 3: basically rate it the same, Nova, maybe a smidge above UCLA. 453 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: So it comes down to how much you value home court. 454 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: Nova's going to play on Tuesday. They have three days 455 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 3: to go east to west coast. But the first time 456 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 3: any team does that, especially the college kids, that the 457 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: time zone chains tends to be more impactful. So Polya 458 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: pavilion a home court we have made fun of, definitely 459 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: one of the wine and cheese crowd venues with the 460 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: ding dome, the ding dong as I like to call it. 461 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: But it's still it's an east to west coast travel. 462 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: It's gonna be tough for the wild kittens to get up. 463 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 2: Bart Torviick has is at eight. 464 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 4: Please give me eight takers, please, I'm begging you. They're 465 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 4: not any more, Jims, You've said it all right. How 466 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 4: about San Diego State BYU. Not technically too power conference 467 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 4: teams here, but a matchup nonetheless that we're excited for. 468 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: We think BYU is a top twenty five team this season. Heck, 469 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 4: we think San Diego State might be a top twenty 470 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 4: five team as well. 471 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: There's gonna be fireworks. It's gonna be a lot of fun. 472 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 4: BYU center Richard Harward might be out for this game. 473 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 4: I believe he's missing Game one this week. I like 474 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: this team a lot. I have a feeling they're gonna 475 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 4: this spread's gonna be low or in favor of San 476 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 4: Diego State, and that's gonna probably push me towards the Cougars. 477 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. So last year these two teams played and BYU 478 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: won by ten at BYU, which feels a little out 479 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: of character for San Diego State. And they don't lose 480 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 2: many games by double digits. It's just a feisty, defensive squad. 481 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: I'm probably leaning towards the dog here, Matthew. I just 482 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: really like both of these teams, though, I imagine I'll 483 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: be high on both and we'll be roughly even to 484 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: the market because of that. 485 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe Sanue State was favored by seven or 486 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 3: eight last year and we were all on BYU in 487 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 3: that game. Sanue State, as you mentioned, always very good 488 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 3: at home, but that was last season, covid no fans. 489 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 3: The typical Vahas edge was large part mitigated. It sucks 490 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 3: with how the schedule works out. Now they have to 491 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 3: go to BYU Marriott Center, top five, top ten home 492 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: court edge in the entire country. Yeah, this spread should 493 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 3: be I've got to think it's going to be anywhere 494 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: from five to seven. Maybe not that high. It depends 495 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 3: on where people like Yu it's lower than that, like 496 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: three Kim pom As at three, Okay, I think it 497 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: should be closer to in that five to seven range. 498 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 3: I'll be on the Storman Mormons here. Santo State has 499 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: sort of the DNA they've always had, you know, tenacious, sound, 500 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: defensive minded, long. The BYU just runs such good stuff, 501 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: and they have length, and I think this year a 502 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: slightly more athletic squad than they've had in your past. 503 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's good five or seven. 504 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 4: All you think it's gonna be five or seven. I 505 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 4: think it's five. No chance, No. Seven is probably too high. 506 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 4: I think most people have San Diego State above BYU, 507 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 4: but I agree with that. We move on to arguably 508 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 4: the game of the year game definitely a game of 509 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 4: the week, and that's saying something. With the champions Classic 510 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 4: Texasick and Zaga. Man, this game is going to be awesome. 511 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 4: I can't wait. Kim Pom has this spread at eleven points, 512 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 4: which is not going to have very unrealistic Jim Matt 513 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 4: I believe we think this spread's gonna be closer for 514 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 4: six or seven, and Matt I would say that even 515 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: feels high. Give me Texas as a dog here. And 516 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 4: this is a guy in Kai Me who thinks Gonzaga 517 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 4: is a tier above pretty much everyone else this season. 518 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 4: I just think Texas is that talented on paper, they 519 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 4: could be the best team in the country. 520 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: I have no interest in taking a side here. I'm 521 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: gonna be a lame fence rider. I apologize, just did 522 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 3: a lot of unknowns for both sides. I'm actually looking 523 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: at a total play here. I like the under. I 524 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: think this comes out a little bit slower paced. Wow, 525 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 3: what we saw Gonzaga play last season. They really want 526 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: to establish their inside game, and I think Beer wants 527 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: to muck it up. He is, from what I can tell, 528 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 3: not fully in love with how his offense is shaking out. 529 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: I think it will take time for that to come 530 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: full circle. He will sort of park the bus, hunker down, 531 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 3: oh way, build the moat, and I think we see 532 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: a kind of a sloppy, uglier, low scoring game. 533 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm against you there, Matt Kay. I think and 534 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: I both agree. I think this trends more over to 535 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: where Texas will willingly run. It's early in the year. 536 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: I think if this game were in January, I agree 537 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: that we might see a slog. But last year Gonzaga 538 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 2: had that one hundred and two to ninety game with 539 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: Kansas early on, and that was when Kansas didn't really 540 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: even have a point guard. I think this could play 541 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: like that. It's not a neutral floor like that game was, 542 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: but I think Gonzaga could start to flirt with the 543 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: nineties and Texas is good enough to score with them. 544 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: The offensive talent is there. Yes, maybe the continuity and 545 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 2: figuring out the scheme isn't quite there yet, but I 546 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 2: just think there's enough offensive talent on the floor for 547 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 2: both teams, and the pace will be there. Kai that 548 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: I would lean more towards over. 549 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 4: I just don't think Beard will park the bus. With 550 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 4: the talent he has in this roster. You could face 551 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: any team and you could say Texas is the better 552 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 4: team on paper. I think there's no advantage to him 553 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 4: to try to park the bus against the Gonzaga team 554 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: that's definitely good, but a team that Beard in his 555 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 4: head probably can argue they're better than So I see 556 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 4: him playing a ton of guys playing faster than they 557 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: did Texas Tech, you know, still having the pack line principles, 558 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: and that could actually affect Nzaga to Matthew, with. 559 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: The way they. 560 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: Lost a lot of shooting from last year too. Right, 561 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 4: that's a point for your under I'll give you that one, 562 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 4: thank you. I'll But I do think it's gonna be 563 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: a lot of possessions in this game, so I probably 564 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 4: lean towards the over. Again, we have no idea what 565 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 4: the total is going to be. I prefer just to 566 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: watch this game because I think it's going to be awesome. So, guys, 567 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 4: power Game of the Week. I'm taking Villanova as a 568 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: dog most likely here spread dependent Jim any any insights there. 569 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: In the three games he talked about do you want 570 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 4: to do a pick presumptuous pick for the game here. 571 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: I'm not forcing it on these games. I'm going to 572 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: sit back with my feet up and enjoy them. I 573 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 2: Am not going to recommend anything because I don't feel 574 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: strongly about any of them without no online. I mean, 575 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: like I said, if you get Villanova above five and 576 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: five and above, I'll probably take it. 577 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: Matthew under anything under one fifty. I think Palm has 578 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: a one fifty four one fifty or lower under right. 579 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 4: Moving on mid major game of the week, we got 580 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: one game for you guys. I'll let Matt and Jim 581 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: jump in here too if they want to talk about 582 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 4: any others. But it's Vermont at Northern Iowa for me, man, 583 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 4: this game is going to be great. I'm not sure 584 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 4: what television station it's on. I hope it's on some 585 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: network at least ESPN plus, hopefully Vermont perennial favorite in 586 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: the America East. Or then Iowa getting aj Green, their 587 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: best player back injury last year. Matt Apparently he's benching 588 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 4: like six hundred pounds. He's jumping out of the gym's 589 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 4: he's like he took the Cats in America seer him. 590 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 4: We'll say Kim Pom has this Northern Iowa minus three. 591 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 4: This game's on Thursday. By the way, that's a pretty 592 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 4: good line in my opinion. Again, this is this might 593 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: be a game you just want to sit back and watch. Yeah, 594 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 4: this is a sit back. This is a nothing for me. 595 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 4: I'm just looking to be a spectator. No hard strong 596 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 4: reads on the matchup and other Iowa. I just think 597 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 4: we'll find out who they are pretty quickly. You know, 598 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 4: is Aj Green the superhuman alien that he's been reported 599 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 4: to now be post surgery post recovery. He did like 600 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 4: two bad hips last season. It wasn't just one that 601 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 4: he had to get repaired. He actually had to like 602 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: have surgery and rehab both hips. Kind of sounds like 603 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 4: an old man syndrome. Doesn't exude confidence that will be 604 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 4: at one hundred and ten percent like the version we 605 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 4: saw in twenty twenty. I don't know, Jim, where do 606 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: you stay with this one? 607 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: If it's three and Aj Green looks healthy on Tuesday 608 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: on today right in Iowa, I think they're just a 609 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: higher ceiling team than this Vermont squad with out Steph 610 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: Smith in the backcourt. I mean, we've said it on 611 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: a couple of places, but Northern Iowa was a top 612 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: fifty team last time AJ Green was featured in the offense, 613 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: and they still have Austin five from that squad. Pretty 614 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: solid wing collection. I just think three is going to 615 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: end up being too low if we see a healthy 616 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: AJ Green on Tuesday. 617 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 4: Northern Iowa was sixteen and zero at home two years 618 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 4: ago with AJ Green in the lineup. ATS they're very 619 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 4: good that year. They're nineteen nine overall ATS, so probably 620 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 4: could bet there, Jim. I also lean towards the Panthers here. 621 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 4: Vermont going to be an excellent team. Might have lost 622 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: a step without Steph Smith though, graduating just a fun 623 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 4: one to watch, guys on Thursday. Next section a fun section. 624 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 4: I think the claw your eyes out game of the 625 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: week name pending. We can change his name, Jim, I'm 626 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 4: not married to it. The bleeding eyes, the bleeding stabbed 627 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 4: yourself in the face. 628 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. 629 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 4: Bethune Cookman at Middle Tennessee. And we're not going to 630 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: pick on the swag teams every single time here, but 631 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 4: Bethune Cookman is a special team this year because they 632 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: did not play a single game last season due to 633 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: COVID they opted out of the season, and secondly, they 634 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 4: lost their coach, Ryan Ritter, fantastic basketball mind. He's now 635 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 4: at U T Martin, and they filled his spot with 636 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 4: Reggie THEUS, a coach that I'm not sure we have 637 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 4: a whole lot of respect for. And they're playing Middle 638 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 4: Tennessee Jim, a team that fan forums of Middle Tennessee 639 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: will tell you is probably the worst team in however 640 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: many years. 641 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, watching this game. 642 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: No, I won't I won't touch it. I won't touch it. 643 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: Off. 644 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: There was almost no bleaker fan forum that I looked at, 645 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: Like usually if you pick a team last in a conference, 646 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: to people do like, how dare they we're gonna be 647 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: better for conference? USA picked Middle Tennessee last. It was like, yeah, 648 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: I mean sure, that's where we belong. Of course, And 649 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 2: to your point about the Cookman picking THEUS, they picked 650 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: him after an interim coach assembled a roster for his 651 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 2: own style, and so we're not going to see a 652 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: great mash of player versus style. Gross don't watch. 653 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Dominie Taylor, the interim coach, recruits the whole team, 654 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: the school decides to not hire him after the whole thing, 655 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 3: and then they throw him to the curb and they 656 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 3: hire THEUS who has to put together like cobbled the 657 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: roster and basically one month they've had no time to 658 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: practice or prepare. Middle Tennessee is bad, but I think 659 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 3: they destroy. 660 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: The tune here. 661 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm gonna lay points with Middle Tennessee 662 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 3: ever this season, but this is the spot to do it. 663 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to lay double digits too, which. 664 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, like a lot of points because methon is I 665 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: think that bad? Right, think they are that bad? 666 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: It's Middleton's ye or nothing. 667 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 4: If you're going to bet this game, because if you're 668 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 4: a degenerate out there and you have to bet this game, 669 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 4: probably Blue Raiders for me. Moving on the Ryan Bull 670 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 4: Will Ryan head coach at Green Bay. He is bow 671 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 4: Ryan's son. They're playing Wisconsin, a school that Jim grew 672 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 4: up liking this game. 673 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: From Wisconsin. Jim, why is it discussing? 674 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: Because Well, neither team's gonna play with any sort of 675 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: urgency to get up and down the floor unless we 676 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 2: see a drastic stylistic shift from Wisconsin. And I think 677 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: Green Bay is going to play even slower than last 678 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: year because they don't have three dynamic wing creator guard creators, 679 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: and that's just going to revert more and more towards 680 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: the Bow Ryan style of ball. It's just what Will 681 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: Ryan has known his whole life is more comfortable with. 682 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: It's gonna be like a sixty four to forty nine 683 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: final or something, some sort of suffocation that we just 684 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: don't need to see. 685 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, you all goo stuff farther. They're gonna slow it 686 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: down because they have to. They don't have any talent. 687 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 3: I mean, like, the most hyped, lauded player that any 688 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: Green Bay preview talked about in the off season was 689 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: the return of Lucas steiber Stever, who is basically a 690 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: glorified walk on glue guy, garbage man. He's like the 691 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 3: awesomer turner they have back. They had a couple other 692 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 3: starters are decent. A song inside is. 693 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 2: Ansong, the guy that Ryan from Wheeling like he's. 694 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: From Wheeling two player, and those are their go to guys. 695 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: They got a Matt or Mitch flitz out from Belmont 696 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: and on one of their jew code it's a Blee Croster. 697 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 3: This Wisconsin roster is certainly isn't gonna look nothing like 698 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: the twenty eighteen, Sam Decker Fry Komitski Squad Fighting fifteen, 699 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. Sorry, I'm three years off here. Yikes. This 700 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: is going to be a right The pace will keep 701 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 3: it relatively, will prevent like a twenty point blowout. But 702 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: I think Wisconsin wins the high teens. Feels like we're 703 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 3: the number probably here may be higher than that. 704 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 4: Last year these two teams played, Wisconsint won by forty 705 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: and the total points was one hundred and twenty four 706 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 4: sixty six possessions. I don't think Wisconsin is going to 707 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: score eighty two, but I think it's very possible green 708 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 4: Bay scores forty two. 709 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: So Kim Palm's projected total. 710 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 4: Here is right around one thirty three. Jim, I'm feeling 711 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 4: under if you're gonna bet this. 712 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: Game, Yeah, I'm yeah, definitely that this is a bet 713 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: the under do not watch. 714 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. 715 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: This section basically what the section is made for. Finally, 716 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 4: one more game here, New Mexico at Colorado. This might 717 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 4: seem a little bit of a weird choice, but I'm 718 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 4: going to explain myself real quick, Matt before I toss 719 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 4: it to you. 720 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: Here. 721 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 4: New Mexico had a brutal year. Last season, COVID riddled 722 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: their team injuries. It was very, very bad. The team 723 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 4: was totally checked out. They bring in Richard Pattino, a 724 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 4: guy more known for defense than his offense. New Mexico 725 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 4: is still kind of putting together the pieces. I think 726 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 4: their offense is going to be very ugly to start 727 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 4: the year. And Colorado is a team missing McKinley, right 728 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 4: graduated last this offseason, so they are lacking a point guard. 729 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 4: I think their office going to be brutal right away. 730 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 4: And they play boil ball Matthew style of basketball, and 731 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 4: nobody wants to watch even when Colorado is good. So 732 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 4: do you lead anyway in this game? Do you want 733 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 4: to watch this game? This on Saturday the thirteenth. 734 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: By the way, I thought I hated Colorado this year. 735 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the opener of Colorado is hosting Montana State. 736 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: The line opened minus sixteenth is not down to minus twelve, 737 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 3: So people really hate the Buffs, And I thought I 738 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 3: hated the Buffs. So I guess if you're going to 739 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 3: bet Colorado, feel free to wait as long as you want, 740 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 3: because you are in You're on island by yourself, but 741 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 3: you're catching New Mexico, who is down two starters. Presumably 742 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: Sequad Singleton and Valdeer Manual are supposed to be out 743 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 3: for this game. Well, I'm not sure of their timetables. 744 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 3: New Mexico was a disaster last year. They brought in 745 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 3: some intriguing transfers. It will not be nearly like the 746 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 3: wave of the white flag pat C doormat that we 747 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: saw last season, but it will still be a bad 748 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 3: basketball team.
