00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: Can just go show me up to the basket.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: Under the basket, it's the true for the wind.

7

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm good up the water. Hit that one from the

00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: parking lot. Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast.

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: I am your host on this Monday episode, Jim Root,

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: joined by the rest of the three men. We have crew,

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: Kai McEwan and Matt Cox. We are here for our

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: weekly start of the Week episode where we walk through

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: the Monday and Tuesday slates all things betting in the

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: world of college basketball. Talking big games, big mid major games,

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: potential live dogs, some favorite favorites, some overdogs, some some

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: spots that we like based off set us in the schedule,

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: and then we'll recap everything we liked at the very

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: end of the show. Had a good week last week, fellas,

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: everybody had a nice productive record except for Matteo. But

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: that's okay, that's a little value.

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: I suck. You think I'm kept.

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm keeping the damage minimal, though minimal minimal jabs at

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: least when it's the bleeding.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: Get hot, shoot to stay hot, Madge's So that's what

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Kai and I are doing.

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: Enthusiastic shooter, Jim.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Good god, let's get you yeah, let's get you chucking.

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: Let's get you chucking. We're gonna start with big games, fellas.

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: We got one huge one on Monday in the Big twelve,

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: and then a couple of big clashes on Tuesday as well.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: Tuesday really been a great day of basketball this season

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: with the way the SEC schedule has a line. So

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a second, but we'll start

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: with Monday. Kai, Iowa State on the second leg of

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: the Arizona road trip. They forked the forks up Sun

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Devils on Saturday. I believe they were down by two

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: and then they won by fifteen as a eleven point

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: or ten point road favorite. Now they go down to Tucson, Arizona,

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: about two and a half hour drive travel. Not much

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: of a big deal here. Elon Chilovich still out for

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: the Cyclones. Ken Palm has thrown US Iowa State minus too. Kai.

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: We actually probably do have opening lines as. Let's keep

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: an eye on that. What do you think with this

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: game of cyclones on the road.

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Gosh, Jim, you know, I lean towards Iowa State. As

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: you said, not a lot of travel here. I think

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 3: the mom Chilovich absence has not been a big deal

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: for Iowa State because they have Curtis Jones, who has

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: become an All American before our eyes. More minutes for

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: him is not a bad thing, and I just think

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: they don't really need mom Chilovich's presence.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: He brings a lot of scoring.

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he moves the needle a ton defensively,

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: so Iowa State theoretically plays better defenders. They sell a

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: bunch of scoring. This team is a top five team

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: for me in the country. Title contender for sure. Arizona

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: very good team, Matthew. They've done very well on Big

59
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: twelve play, but I don't think they're quite Ioways say

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: it's caliber. So with the load travel here, with the

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: low spread based taking iOS hit to win this game,

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: I think it is one and a half most places

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: on the opener, I like the Clones, Matthew to get

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: it done.

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say minus one basically everywhere, A total

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: one to fifty two for those interested. Feels like that's

67
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a you know, once upon a time that was an

68
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: Ioways State underfield, but Iowa State scores one hundred now

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: on occasion, so I gotta kind of change your perception.

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: And Jim, that's what's been so impressive is like they've

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: used these offensive bursts to escape lay in games against

72
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: Arizona State, even at Colorado, and they were kind of

73
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: indicy with the Buffaloes to start, like they had these

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: that late spurt. I like Arizona here looking at Bart

75
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Torovik's tool time filter snapshots since w or sorry January fifth,

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: which is basically like the first day post the Christmas

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: break return week, like the first real starting conference play

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Arizona minus three, and I've been playing really well. I

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: think they've really kind of gotten off some of the

80
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess rolling consistency.

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: But this comes down to Caleb Love. Right.

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: You don't want to ever bet big, big US dollars

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: on Caleb Love, but I do think this is a

84
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: good Caleb Love game. So I'm going to ride the

85
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Zona mojo. And I'm not afraid of Iowa State. I'm

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: not scared of them.

87
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: They're awesome. I'm not scared of.

88
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm afraid of them in the second half. Matt As,

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: you're kind of mentioned it. Yeah, they first year like

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: a gas pedal where they accelerate. But yeah, I mean

91
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: they only put up fifty seven at West Virginia on

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: the road. Tough environment, really good defensive team. Arizona's not

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: quite West Virginia defensively, but they're both top thirty defenses.

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: I think they could maybe frustrate the really potent backcourt

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: of Iowa State. I would say it's also gotten a

96
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 2: lot of production from Josh Jefferson as a passer. They

97
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: play through him a bunch. I kind of trust Arizona's

98
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: forwards to have the athleticism and mobility to move with

99
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: him and not give him as many opportunities. I actually

100
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: lead to Arizona here as well. Again, basically a toss

101
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: up coin foot type game here. But I think Houston

102
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: leaves Tuesday with a two game lead in the Big

103
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Twelve after they survived at Kansas.

104
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: So I think Iowa robbery and Lawrence.

105
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, crazy game. They're point four percent chance to win.

106
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: Houston had well Arizona b eight and one. Though, Jim right,

107
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: maybe you.

108
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: Know what guy great call, I forgot that Arizona's right now.

109
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: About those cats?

110
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, the the schedule that's stiffened for Arizona starting

111
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: now though, so we'll see if they're able to stay

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: right up there. But that's the big one Monday, we

113
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: will shift to Tuesday. We're also in the Big twelve.

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: Baylor is on the second leg of a road trip.

115
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: There's this the elevation trip. Now they take on BYU.

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: Who Boy, Maddie. The Cougars gave Cincinnati the business late

117
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: late Saturday night. Not sure how many people stayed up

118
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: to watch that game, but it was a just a

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: trouncing by the host Cougars. So they're starting to look better.

120
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: Yegor Demon's starting to really round into form his potential

121
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: lottery pick. Baylor again on that back end of the

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: elevation trip, not as much travel, but there is the

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: elevation factor. In terms of conditioning, we are looking at

124
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: a market price of I keep looking at Kenpom lines.

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: I forget we have real lines. No, this is Tuesday,

126
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: so we don't. We don't have lines b YU minus

127
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: three per Kenpom Matthew.

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: And.

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: I feel like that should probably be close to what

130
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 4: it is.

131
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: I doubt there's like any major shade here like Baylor

132
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: or BYU or not one of these teams where kim

133
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: Pom's just way off from the market perception. So I

134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty good projection. The second leg of

135
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: the altitude thing has me intrigued. I just backed Utah

136
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: stupidly against Baylor Kai who was shorthanded yet again. But

137
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: Baylor again sort of I think just outclassed Utah in

138
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: terms of just talent. I would say, I don't know

139
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: if they have that edge here against BYU, and I

140
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: like what Kevin Young talked about after their win against Cincinnati,

141
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: like they've really opened up their offense a little more.

142
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: They're not running as many like pick and roll continuity

143
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: stuff that've actually kind of just allowed more freedom. I

144
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: think with the return of Demon and the return of Saunders,

145
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: there's sort of this new chapter of BYU season forming,

146
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of into it. So I think in

147
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the spot here, I'm probably gonna be stubborn. I will

148
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: probably fade Baylor again just on the lack of depth

149
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that altitude second leg and just sort of the good

150
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: mojo I'm getting from BYU right now.

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a really hard time deciphering what BYU

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: is the result. I mean, they blew sense out, Yes, Bearcats.

153
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: Now it was five for twenty eight from three versus

154
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: fifteen for twenty four from three. I mean the three

155
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: point discrepancy there Bou Cincinnati was insane. Bou hasn't beaten

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: any good teams. They have no wins against the top

157
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: fifty team right now in Kim Palm. A little bit bizarre,

158
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: But as a Baylor backer against Utah, I do lean

159
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: towards BYU on this second leg. I didn't think the

160
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: roach injury was a huge deal in a one game setting.

161
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: I think they are fantastic players despite their depth, But

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: on a road trip with elevation, I think the five

163
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: six man rotation does hurt Baylor quite a bit.

164
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: And Bo, you can really score? Can you can really score?

165
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: I'm not really intimiated by Baylor's defense.

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: They tend to get smoked from outside, and I think

167
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: the all you can keep their shooting going at least

168
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: one more game here. I don't think the market's going

169
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: to do as many favors here, Jim. I think the

170
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: market will be all over Bou as well. But if

171
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: it's three, I think I'd be taking the Kougs.

172
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, with you Kai. The shorthanded thing second leg of

173
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: elevation is where it really gets me if no love,

174
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: no roach, really playing six guys Asimota hasn't been that

175
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: much of a contributor as the seventh man for Baylor,

176
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: so they're really reliant on that top six. And they

177
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: do have the advantage of Edgecombe emerging into like superstardom,

178
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: fifty one points over his last two games, super efficient,

179
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: looking like the draft pick that he's gonna certainly be.

180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: He and Demon really both shining on NBA draft boards.

181
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: But I don't like shorthanded second leg at elevation against

182
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: a young team that I think is trending up. And

183
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: that's that's where by use at right now. So sticking

184
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: with the home team is in the big twelve for me,

185
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: there's that's the leans, not ones I'm gonna lock in.

186
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: But on the big slate, those the top two.

187
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Probably a good live betting game just to add in

188
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: their gym. Both teams gonna play some zone like a

189
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: ton of threes both ways. Presumably I meant both teams

190
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: are gonna shoot upwards of twenty lost triples in this one.

191
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: So in the SEC the big one this week Kentucky

192
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: at Tennessee, both teams off rather frustrating loss. Tennessee might

193
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: feel like it's slipped away a little bit at Auburn,

194
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: big three from Miles Kelly in the corner clinched that

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: one for the Tigers. In Kentucky, the defense has just

196
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: been a problem. They got down fourteen at halftime against Vandy,

197
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: made a huge surge, got up seven. I think kind

198
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: of gave it back away again. The Commodore stole it

199
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: from so two teams that have recently lost at Vandy,

200
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: I think they both got court stormed by the Commodos

201
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Kai Tennessee laying nine in this one. Per Ken Palm.

202
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Andrew Carr's injury is looming large here. Whether he's back

203
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: or out, we're not sure of yet as we record.

204
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 2: What do you think?

205
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: I think he matters. I think Andercar definitely matters in

206
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: this game. I'm more so confused why Kentucky played such

207
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: a low possession game against Vanderbilt. Maybe that's Mark Beynson

208
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: for Bandy coming in with a game plan of hey,

209
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: we're not going to run with Kentucky. Very smart six

210
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: some possessions. Most scoring game shocking to me. I actually

211
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: included Kentucky pending car status in a live dog section

212
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: as well, because I think this team can beat any

213
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: and I still think they're a very high variance team,

214
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: high powered offensively. Yes, their defense is blown this season,

215
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: but the way they shoot, the highest percentage of points

216
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: in the conference come from threes. Kentucky, we know they

217
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: can all shoot tons of firepower. I've seen this team

218
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: at their best. It is on par with the best

219
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: teams in the country.

220
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: Now.

221
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: Tennessee's defense fantastic, great coach, great program. Every single year

222
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: they're tough on toughest nails on d. But I think

223
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Kentucky can pull a Haymaker here, Matt and take it

224
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: out right. Nine points to certainly something I would bet

225
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: for Kentucky's way. Again, the car status does loom large.

226
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt, you know, Kentucky's a team that I think, again,

227
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: this is one where we probably I would be shocked

228
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: if it's nine. I think it's going to be close

229
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: to really seven. But I don't know, man Tennessee. I mean,

230
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: if I were odds maker, I looked at what they

231
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: just did at Auburn, pretty damn impressive, Like Auburn's been

232
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: eminstrating teams at home, and they were you know, basically

233
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: from what I thought outplayed Auburn for most of.

234
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 4: That game was ugly game.

235
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Both teams can make any shots, but I think Tennessee's

236
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: defense actually dictated that game for most of the way.

237
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: At home, they're a different beasts.

238
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Man.

239
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I know Kentucky's offense is high octane, but I saw

240
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: a good beat tweet someone that said, just at some

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: point throughout the game, Tennessee decides you're not going to

242
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: score for like ten minutes, and that's what they do.

243
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: And I think against Kentucky they can even have those,

244
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: They can even instill a five minute drought.

245
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: That might be the difference here.

246
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

247
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: Just gon a tough one, Jim. It'sn be a number

248
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: thing for me.

249
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I probably won't stay away unless it's like Tennessee minus

250
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: five or Kentucky plus ten.

251
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: I bet it'd fire falls somewhere in between.

252
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I would imagine it'll settle in the middle

253
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: of that range. It really is strength on strength. Tennessee

254
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: not up to the number one defense per Kenpom. Is

255
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: no longer Houston's honor up there. It's not Duke Tennessee

256
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: holding Auburn to fifty three points I think had a

257
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: big reason to do with that. And then Kentucky top

258
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: five offense like kis, they're so high variants. They give

259
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: up a lot of threes, they take a lot of threes,

260
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: so you get some kind of wild swing. It's another

261
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: possible live betting game here that I think there's some

262
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: potential for that. A note on Carr if he is out,

263
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: he is the highest net rating player on Kentucky. He

264
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: has the highest net rating, so the most impactful. The

265
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: defense is ten points better per one hundred possessions. When

266
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: he plays, it's already not good, so when you're lowering

267
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: it from that already shaky bassline, that would be why

268
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: Kentucky is dead last in the league in efficiency on

269
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: the eventsive end, two point percentage defense and turnover rate.

270
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: They don't make you uncomfortable at all. It's just kind

271
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: of a conservative style and teams are knocking down shots

272
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: against them. So all of that said, I think maybe

273
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: there's something to the volatility of the outcome with the shooting,

274
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: and maybe you want to go for a money line,

275
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: but with Matt where like, unless it's an egregiously wide

276
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: number variants from from what Ken Pom and Bart torvit

277
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: are saying, I probably won't bet that game.

278
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I just hate trusting Tennessee's offense to lay points like

279
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: against good teams. It's just it's it's a it's an

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: offense that looks not good against good teams.

281
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 2: Agreed, Matthew agreed. The last one to discuss here, and

282
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: maybe doesn't even belong here with the way these teams

283
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: are playing right now, but we'll give them the benefit

284
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: of the out. I'm calling it a loser leaves Town

285
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: game here, un c at Pitt acc two teams that

286
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: have really been struggling. They both survived on Saturday, You

287
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: and Ce Matthew a great escape against Boston College's twenty

288
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: point favorites who that would have been a disastrous loss

289
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: for the Heels. And then Pitt gets a road win

290
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: at Syracuse to get off the schneid and the losing streak,

291
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: but really have not looked sharp. Ken Pom thrown us

292
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: a shrug line of Pitt minus three. Basically, the home

293
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: court is the difference between these two. Which one are

294
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: you going to back here? If you have to do

295
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: it on either side.

296
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: I kind of lean toward Pitt. Of note Jalen Washington

297
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: got hurt very end of that UNC game against BC,

298
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: and the whole story was how badly beaten they were

299
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: inside by BC chas Vanny was a beast inside and

300
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: the UNC had no count for him. And then Washington

301
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: went out late in the game. You got to think, Okay, well,

302
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: what are they going to do against Well, I mean

303
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Pitt's front line not exactly gonna pound you at the rim,

304
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: but still the lack of into your rim for action

305
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: has been a problem all year for you. And see, Kay,

306
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea on this game. I dont know

307
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: if I can trust either team. I probably trust Pin

308
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more. As an aside, I will be

309
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: fading Boston College every game the rest of the year.

310
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: In that game is and I have embarrassing giveaway, and

311
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: I think is a type of loss. It's like, if

312
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: we can't hold onto this little little glimmer of joy,

313
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: our entire season is just a waste. So just a

314
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: slight betting angle as a tangental throw. And then so

315
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: I have no profound takes on this.

316
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: One shred of dignity, I think is what you're searching

317
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: for there for BC. Yeah, but both these teams suck.

318
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: I want none of these teams in the tournament. I'm

319
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: so disappointing what Pitt has become in conference play. Having

320
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: said that, missus Pitt for me, this game number one,

321
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: You and c has been getting extremely lucky in conference play.

322
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: Twenty seven percent from three is what the opponents are shooting.

323
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: That's not sustainable. Pit much better team at home. And

324
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: here's UNC's last few games on the road here at

325
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: AC play. Lose to Wake Forest, you beat NC State

326
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: by two, not a good team. You beat Notre Dame

327
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: by one, should have lost that game, got fortunately got

328
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: fouled on the three late, and you've got smoked by

329
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: Louisville on the road. Not a good road team. I

330
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: think Kado is kind of put in hell against Leggett

331
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: and Low the guards pressuring him.

332
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: This is Pitt for me. Go Panthers.

333
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Washington injury looms large too. I just am

334
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: not a van aled lubin guy. And if you're gonna

335
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: have to roll him out there for thirty minutes at center,

336
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: that's a disaster even against a thin PIT frontline and

337
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: not overly physical. But not great against Washington there or

338
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: not great situation without Washington for the Heels. It does

339
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: feel like more of a pit set up for me.

340
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: I perceive both these teams as better second half teams.

341
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: UNC has had a lot of slow starts this year.

342
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: Pitt has boat raced some inferior competition at home in

343
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: the second half. But yeah, it's hard to trust either

344
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: one with the way they're playing right now. Back against

345
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: the wall, I take the Panthers, but it's just the

346
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: trend in the trajectory of both squads. It's not when

347
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: you're in a hurry to get behind. Let's go to

348
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: the mid major games of the week, start with one

349
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: on Monday in the Southland. McNeice slowly but surely climbing

350
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: up the analytical rankings. There now inside the top sixty,

351
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: mister McEwan as they demolished that conference. They had to

352
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: Texas A and m Corpus Christy. This is the statistically

353
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: toughest South London game you can face for McNeese, the

354
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: only other team inside the top two hundred. Last year

355
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: mcneise won by one. They amount a double digit comeback

356
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: in the second half at the Islanders to pull it out.

357
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: It's the same kind of talent gap this year. Still,

358
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: will wag in charge do you think it's another close call,

359
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: close shave with mcneesse lane seven or where do you

360
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: see this?

361
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: No, I think Fatie mcneie is a bad strategy in

362
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: the Southland. They are just heads shoulders about the league.

363
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: It's a shame they couldn't do more. In non con

364
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: lost really tough games to some really tough teams, and

365
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: unfortunately I have no shot in that large but I

366
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: think they do run the table in the Southland. Corpus Christie, yeah,

367
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: you're a scrappy team. You in conference play. They've been

368
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: rebounding the ball really well, but I still think McNeese

369
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: just tears them up in the glass. Corpus Christy is

370
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: a walking foul. McNeese is cann get to the line

371
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: much it will. It's going to be an ugly game.

372
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: It always is, I think between Corpus Crazy McNeese the

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 3: last couple of years. But I like McNee here or

374
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: at least lean their way. I'm not going to lay

375
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: seven on the road either, but certainly not fading the

376
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: will Wades right now.

377
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Matthew, Yeah, it's going to have to be ugly for

378
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: a m to keep it for Corpus Crazy keep it close.

379
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: How I kept it close both games last year, right

380
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: lost by one and lost by seven. But this version

381
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: under Jim Shaw, who a coach I like, right disciple

382
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: of lots at Okay State, who I think people are

383
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: generally still bullish on.

384
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: We'll see kind of tough fear.

385
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: But anyway, the Matt Painter Tree right exactly, but you know,

386
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: control the glass. But you know they play the little

387
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: more Helter's cultu last year. I don't feel like the

388
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: way they're playing this year is like krypton Idish for McNeese.

389
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: I just think McNee keeps rolling. I did the stupid

390
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: fade McNeese in conference play, like every team thought they

391
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: would be their super Bowl and so we'll get up

392
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: to play them and it will be like kind of random,

393
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: ugly type games. But that was a losing portfolio, so

394
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that again.

395
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I generally enter McNeese handicapping with am I

396
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 2: betting mcneise or am I not betting the game at all.

397
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: McNee is seven and two against the spread in conference games,

398
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: covering by over five points a game. They have clearly

399
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: separated themselves from the league and setting back up to

400
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: what I think people's preseason expectations were for them. They

401
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: sort of figured out the rotation. They had some injuries

402
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: ins and outs early on in the season, and now

403
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: it's a little more stable and it's working. They are

404
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 2: just out talenting teams.

405
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: McNeese offense and conference play one point two to two

406
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: points per possession. Next highest team is Corpus Christie one

407
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: point oh seven. It's like a chasm difference between one

408
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: and two in that league.

409
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they remember losing a conference game last year,

410
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: like they're like, shit, we actually lost one last year.

411
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: We can't lose one this year. We're not doing that again.

412
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're one of those rare teams that is number

413
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: one in the conference in both offense and defensive efficiency

414
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: and league play and we're nine games in, Like that's

415
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: not small sample sized, fluke. They are just that dominant.

416
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: They played basically every team in the league once already

417
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: except for Corpus Christie. So yeah, I might bet McNeese.

418
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: I'm just scared of like the Shaw game planning and

419
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: how close they kept it last year. That's the worst

420
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: thing that's concerning to Tuesday, where VCU has somewhat separated

421
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: themselves as the best team in the A ten, probably

422
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: their best chance at an at large at this point

423
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: with the way Dayton's been floundering a little bit. Now,

424
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: VCU heads to Saint Louis, who's coming off a loss

425
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: at GW. Bill's very short rotation, Matthias, but the top

426
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: four guys on that roster can beat anybody on a

427
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: given night if they're all playing well. Is there enough

428
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: here for the Bills to scarce to scare VCU? The

429
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 2: Rams are laying six on the road.

430
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: It sounds dumb because I bet SLEW at VCU. Actually

431
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: I bet moneyline on the show. I was sort of

432
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: that was my angles, like, hey, this game could go

433
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: SLEU could win it or VCU could win by twenty five,

434
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: and unfortunate the ladder transpired. A VCU just has this

435
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: defensive gear that really this is what separates them from

436
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the A ten. And you saw it

437
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: against Saint Bonaventure on Friday, really good matchup for Saint Bonaventure.

438
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: Game was really close, and all of a sudden, looking

439
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: at the score and they're up fourteen in the game's over,

440
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: It's like what And that's just kind of what VC's

441
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: defense does on the road. Code their das still traveled

442
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: really well.

443
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: This year.

444
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: They suffocated Saint Joe at Saint Joe House, and why

445
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: aren't they suffocated Rhode Island at at Kingston Like I

446
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: think they just keep it going. It's probably kind of

447
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: a square spinny take kai, but I'm not. I'm not

448
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: going to bet Sleu here, even though I feel like

449
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: everything in my plumes is saying I should.

450
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: I'm just not.

451
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 4: It's a pass for me.

452
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: I think Sleugh can beat them because they do have

453
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: really talented offensive players.

454
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: I just don't think they will. I think vcus to

455
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 4: that level.

456
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: Four straight covers in the A ten pretty easily, five

457
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: out of six they've covered in their last six games.

458
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: They smoked Saint Louis in the first game, Sleugh was

459
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: up three nothing. Rest game is VCU one point two

460
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: points possession, didn't even shoot well.

461
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: And Slew's defense is number one and a ten.

462
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 3: Play And then you zoom in and I mentioned it

463
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: was with North Carolina twenty two percent opponents are shooting

464
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: from three twenty two percent.

465
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 4: This is like smoking mirrors to.

466
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: The Max Slough on defense right now in the A ten,

467
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: I would not back Sleugh here. I would lean towards

468
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: the VCU.

469
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kai like that. You mentioned that potentially phony defense

470
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: because right now now every slew A ten game has

471
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: gone under. They're zero to seven on the total, and

472
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: it's largely because teams aren't scoring against them. They are

473
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: playing very slow because their rotation is super limited. But

474
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: it's funny to think of like a Josh Shirtz offensive

475
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: fireworks team. It's like, no, they've been auto unders play.

476
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: I would not automatically go bet that because of the

477
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: looming regression. But last game between these two sixty four possessions,

478
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: if I had to bet a total, here would be

479
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: the under, just because I think it will be slow

480
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: once again. All right, guys, let's get to the live

481
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: Dog of the Week section. Last week it did pretty solid.

482
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: Georgetown knocks off Nova. Rutgers didn't quite get there against

483
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: Penn State. I don't think they even covered most numbers

484
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: now that they got bet out from the five or

485
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: from the eight that Kem Tom was dealing. Aerzo State

486
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: one at West Virginia. Hoay, Hurrah, go go sun Devils.

487
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: Indiana State did not quite pull it out, but they

488
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: won against the number. So if you split your bet

489
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: and hey, you made some money start on Monday, possible

490
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 2: Big ten magic Penn State now after we had them

491
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: on upset alert last week. Now they are the potential

492
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: upsetter heading to Michigan and then Iowa's plus eight at

493
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Have State has been kind of a random

494
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: up and down team, can go to overtime at Minnesota

495
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: who is playing better, but also win at Maki Arena.

496
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: Matthew Iowa may or may not have rolled over to

497
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: either of these Monday Big ten dogs particular your fancy.

498
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 4: No, they don't.

499
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, Iowa, I'm skeptical of and Michigan I think

500
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: is a bad matchup for Penn State. Like I kind

501
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: of like the Penn State angle there, maybe with the

502
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: value because I think they will be laying like, you know,

503
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: nine or ten points because Michigan's went like top ten

504
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: in kem Pound at this point.

505
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: And we see Michigan back down to eighteen after the

506
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 4: after the pre loss.

507
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still they are priced that You're getting no

508
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: bargain to back Michigan right now in the market. I'm

509
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: passioning both each him. I got one though for Tuesdad,

510
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: love actually love love.

511
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

512
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: I mentioned the Big ten because I just think Ohio State,

513
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 3: like Jim said, is so random. They're prone to lose

514
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: or beat anybody is It's like crazy. I can't place

515
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: this team in Iowa. I keep getting burned by backing

516
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: this Hawkeves team. I mean, that Penn State game was

517
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: a total travesty. They should have covered that game pretty easily.

518
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 3: But the way they shoot right, they're They're the top

519
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: ten shooting team in the entire country that lends to

520
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: high variant situations. They can pull off upsets by points

521
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: of Penn State because I think this Penn State team

522
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: is still pretty darn good. And Michigan, man, it's kind

523
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: of like Ohio State. They can lose to anybody. Lost

524
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: to Minnesota, smoked by Purdue, it barely got by Northwestern. Like,

525
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: I don't think this team is eating or close to

526
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 3: a top ten team right now. And the way Penn

527
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: State turns you over and the way Michigan's handling the

528
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 3: ball right now, I really think Penn State has a shot.

529
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: So of those two, I like Penn State better. I

530
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: will be taking them against the spread.

531
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: Most likely we're bashing head to head on that guy.

532
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to the spot section. I like Michigan

533
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: off the mega blowout loss. I like to kind of

534
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: get the maybe extract a little extra value off that

535
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: as they sank in analytical rankings. I'm intrigued by Iowa though.

536
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: I think they're pretty high variants too, because of the

537
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: amount of threes they take and just the the high

538
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: powered offense. And Ohio States lost three straight home games

539
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten, like they're they're nowhere near impervious

540
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: at home. They lost to Mike Woodson at home, Matthew,

541
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that was possible. Mike Woodson winning a

542
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: road game in so Iowa. I think that one has

543
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: me intrigued. I may end up taking the eight. I

544
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: will decide at the end of the show when we

545
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: recap our picks. Actually that's a Monday game.

546
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: So seven and a half most places. I think there

547
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 4: is an eight out there right now, early early, of course, early.

548
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, well, I shall consider all right on Tuesday,

549
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: matt I feel like I just want to tee you

550
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: up with the excitement flowing through your veins. As you

551
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: answered on Monday, what do you got? What's what's the

552
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: home run one? Yeah?

553
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: I love Patty Kelsey, I love the story of what

554
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: he's done this year. Good graphic Evan me a top

555
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: seventy five teams performance relative to lost production, like Louisville's

556
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: head and shoulders above everybody else. I mean, they've just

557
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: incredibly lost nor Waterman last two games. It's legitimately like

558
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: a six point two band rotation at this at this struncture,

559
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: I think they crack against Wake, who I think is

560
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: playing a lot better.

561
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just lost to Duke.

562
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: Everyone loses to Duke, and they actually came back and

563
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: put a run on Duke and made that game competitive.

564
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: I like that Forbes has worked a little bit of

565
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: zone to mix a match. I wish he had one

566
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: more guard because I'm tired of watching Cama Hilder just

567
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: to cheats amount of games. But I think the way

568
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: they play with Sallas and they're kind of gritty, more

569
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: old school Forbes mentality. I think it's a good recipe

570
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: to go on the road and steal one in silence

571
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: the Ump Center. It's my dog of the week, Jimbo

572
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: plus ten. I bet it's plus eight is the final number.

573
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: Conversion of moneyline probably would be three to one. Find

574
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: my tool here, Kylie. Yeah, I think that's what I'm probabing.

575
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: Just trust my got there and back in.

576
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm withiny on Wake, Matthew. I agree.

577
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: The game against Duke really impressed me. It's showing signs

578
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: that Wake is alive. Their defense has been truly impressed back,

579
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: but the battling their back because their offense.

580
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 4: Is so bad. I don't think they can be ever back.

581
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 2: Twenty five four run on Duke though, Like, yeah, slouch

582
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: team does.

583
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: That right, and Salas will be the best player on

584
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: the floor. I definitely will be betting Wake here will

585
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: sprink on the money line perhaps as well.

586
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Road Wake always scares me, Like last year that

587
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: was obviously their their achilles heel and the reason they

588
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: didn't make the NCAA tournament, and they've been better at

589
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 2: home than that. I'm surprised you didn't mention a specific

590
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: angle here. Tyler Johnson Revenge Louisville, going back, going back

591
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: to the young He's been much better in league play,

592
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: an eighty four O rating for the season, but up

593
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: to ninety eight in conference as he started and played

594
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: like twenty five thirty minutes a game, seemingly gaining confidence.

595
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: He had eight assists and one turnover against Duke like

596
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: Tyler Johnson's starting to be a player for a wake

597
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: that helps a lot, So Matt I like that one too.

598
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: Definitely will bet spread. Thinking about potential money line there

599
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: Kentucky again we mentioned their their high variance possibilities at Tennessee.

600
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: With the amount of threees they take. You got some

601
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: big East home dogs. Butler catching six at home against Marquette,

602
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: Georgetown catching six against Saint John's. I'm a little intrigued

603
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: by the Hoyas. I think they they suffered the emotional

604
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: loss at Providence with the Cooley return factor. They're They're

605
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: pretty limited in their rotation. Their top four guys took

606
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: all but one of their field goal attempts at Providence,

607
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: so they need those guys to play well. But back

608
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: home against a team they kind of controlled the first

609
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: meeting with against Georgetown or against Sint. John's, I kind

610
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: of think the Hoyas are are good upset looks.

611
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: I like the Hoyas as well, Jim, I'll be on

612
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: them again. I was on them against Sint John's the

613
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 3: first game, took a money line. They're up by twelve

614
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: and they kind of cracked. But yeah, this team is

615
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 3: Thomas Sorber is incredible, Like, this guy is a legit

616
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: player pro right now, I've been extremely impressed by him.

617
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: I have to rebound.

618
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: They did a pretty good job of keeping Saint John's

619
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: off the class in matchup one that is really where

620
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: Saint John's hurts you, and I think it's great spot

621
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: to back him. Agree off the Providence loss, which, hey,

622
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: they got off to a great start and then Providence

623
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: the hypeness behind the building clearly got to them. Georgetown

624
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: would be a game I'll be on.

625
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: I disagree. I kind of like Saint john actual against

626
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: the spread. I think they get Patino a few extra

627
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: days to prep and find a good weakness or a

628
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: scheme against Sorber.

629
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 4: I think he finds one.

630
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: I think that physicality sort of bothers sort of even

631
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: though it's nice that they've already seen Saint John's wants

632
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: to me, that kind of negates my point there. But

633
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I think in the rematch, I think Patino gets a

634
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: good gets the 's there for me.

635
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: They shut down Sorber game one. I mean, he didn't

636
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 4: do much.

637
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: It was close to your pointy, and it was close,

638
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: and despite a bad Sorber game, it was still competitive

639
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: so do.

640
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: You prefer Butler, matt think they got a better chance

641
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: against Marquette.

642
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Butler is. Yeah, they just just

643
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: smoked to Paul. They have been playing better, right, Like

644
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: they they last four or five games. It's like, oh okay,

645
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: Butler has has a pulse. Still, I still don't quite

646
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: love this one. Big East homes have been Let's see,

647
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the updated stats here from courtesy

648
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: at bet Labs.

649
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: Probably I would say somebody for the burner here, Matthew,

650
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: will you while you search for that? A Yukon fan

651
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: was like, I was so impressed by Butler, Like just

652
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: the connectivity, the effort, Like they didn't look like a

653
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: team that has no shot. At DNCA Tournament under five

654
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: hundred in Hartford, they looked pretty sharp and took you

655
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: kind of ot. I'm not going to back Butler, Maddy,

656
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: but do you have the stats?

657
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty three and twenty six. I think I backed

658
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: some some big East home hype spots amid this point.

659
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: It just has not been like a super awesome against

660
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: the number angle. I just think it's been a regular

661
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: home court this season. Not saying that it's you know,

662
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: all due respect, just it's been pricing effectively.

663
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: So yep. Two others worth mentioning Minnesota has been cooking lately.

664
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: They are actually looking like a really solid the mid

665
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: mid table Big Ten team. They're catching thirteen at undefeated

666
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: Michigan State.

667
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 4: Kai.

668
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued by that. And then we've got the anti

669
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: sports or anti point shaving Eastern Michigan ultra eleven at

670
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: Miami Ohio with Eastern Michigan and they're improved play of late.

671
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: Do either of those ones jump out of to you.

672
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: I'm ready to get hurt again. On Eastern Michigan. I

673
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: backed to them early in the season. I thought this

674
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: team was good coming into the year and had some

675
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: good results, and then the point shaving thing happened. Point

676
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: shading thing comes out all of a sudden. They're good if.

677
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 4: It's a silly thing to do. But if you isolate the.

678
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: Last since January fifteenth, where Eastern Michigan's had the run

679
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 3: of three games, they're favored over Miami Ohio h.

680
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: Per bart tor Vick.

681
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't think Miami Ohio is that good of a team,

682
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: and they got smoked by Acron who got exposed. They've

683
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: been picking off the weak MAC all season. I think

684
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Eastern Michigan can stick within double digits.

685
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: I kind of agree.

686
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: I find I back to Eastern Michigan on that same

687
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: angle Kyle last, but I also bet them first half

688
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: the angle they were theoretically shaving and they did not

689
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: cover that. So I wonder if they went back to

690
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: shaving the first half and then covering full game. I

691
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know, but anyway, I agree with you. I think

692
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: that there could be some there's some volatility here that's

693
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: intriguing to me that I would like on the money line.

694
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: But I do think Miami is pretty good though. That's

695
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: where I sort of disagree with you.

696
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: I think Minnesota covers. I'm not going to bet a

697
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: money line, but I think the trending upwards play they've

698
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: got and feels like Michigan State's flying a little too

699
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: close to the sun right now. I don't think they're

700
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: going to get a two or a three seed in

701
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. That's like what they're tracking for right now.

702
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: They're alone atop the Big ten with two games of space,

703
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: and just seems like somebody's going to get them, or

704
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: at least continue to challenge them. And with Willy, Minnesota's

705
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: playing thirteen is too many, so I'm going to jump

706
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: in on the Gophers.

707
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: There.

708
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: Off we go, too favorite favorites. Last week we had

709
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: a Colgate cover against Bucknell. Unless you've got like the

710
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: very very late closing number, I think they got a heartbreaking,

711
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: like late free throw to lose by a hook on

712
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: the final number. McNeice blasted Stephen F. Austin. Like we said,

713
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: McNeice in the Southland is a pretty good wager. Creighton

714
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: smashed to Paul after Paul got its first Big East

715
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: win in two years, and Houston dominated Utah to spite

716
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: no Emmanuel Sharp Cougar is just a different beast against

717
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: inferior competition. So we turned our eyes to this week

718
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: on Monday. Matthew, you are our Swackhin correspondent, typically the

719
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: writer of the preseason preview of that conference. Misisipi Valley

720
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: State is trending towards one of the worst teams ever,

721
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: maybe like bottom three in ken Pom's history, a negative

722
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: forty adjusted efficiency margin. It's bad, bad, bad news. They're

723
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: only three and three against the spread in conference despite

724
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: inflated lines. They have not been an underdog of less

725
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: than thirteen and a half points yet this year that

726
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: is sad, sad news for them. And now they got

727
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: the best team in the league coming to town Southern

728
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: twenty one point spread per Ken Pom Matthias. Why isn't

729
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: Southern going to smash the Delta Devs No.

730
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: I think they do, Jim. I think the Delta Deves

731
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: are saving there their best for February. They got their

732
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: first one of the year last year in February, played

733
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: some better ball late. I think they're the kind of

734
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: rope and openness until February. So I'm gonna I'll pound

735
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: the Southern here. I think I'm with you, and then

736
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: looking to maybe target some Delta Devil really ridiculous lines.

737
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 4: Maybe at home.

738
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: I think a good home spot. Maybe they might kind

739
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: of rise, make make some shots. Other team comes in,

740
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: sleep and snooze in.

741
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: Whatever at this is at Misisve Valley State.

742
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but later he's got an easier It cannot be Southern.

743
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: Southern's too. Good Son's actually a real team. I think

744
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Southern smokes them as well. Jim, I don't know how

745
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: Missippi Valley States scores. This isn't anemic offense against the

746
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: best defense by far in the slack, I think it's

747
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a blood bath. Southern covers easy Southern courts

748
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: A and M and at Iowa. I mean, Iowa beats

749
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: everyone by a million, So I just think it's a

750
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: It's a good Southern team for sure.

751
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: Four street games, Mississippi Valley State has not hit sixty points,

752
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: and some of those games at seventy possessions, sixty eight possessions,

753
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: sixty seven possession It's not like they're just playing super crawls.

754
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: They just can't score. So yeah, I think Southern blows

755
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: them out too. It's tough on the road in conference play,

756
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: but that's how bad Sippy Valley State is. So yeah,

757
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna add Southern minus twenty

758
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 2: one to the to the official slate as we finish

759
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: up the end of this this pod. Two others that

760
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: I wrote down here Georgia minus eight against South Carolina

761
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Georgia's off the mega demolition loss at Florida.

762
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: This is a little bit similar to Michigan, like I

763
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: was talking about earlier, a team that just got smacked

764
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: on the road comes home. Maybe a get right spot

765
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: against South Carolina who's played two straight demoralizing losses. They

766
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: just lost in ot to to Mississippi State, and they

767
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: led for the first thirty nine minutes and fifty five

768
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: seconds against Florida and then lost on a basically a

769
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: buzzer beater. So potentially get right spot for one Bulldogs

770
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: and the other Bulldogs again. Zaga. They're laying ten per

771
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: Ken palm against Oregon State, classic revenge spot. They lost

772
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: in core Vallas. Better team that switched up their lineup.

773
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: They put Manuel Indecenti in the line, but get a

774
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: little bit more defense on the floor. Beavers are tough

775
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: on Doc to kill. But I could see Gonzaga going

776
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: off at the kennel there that either of those Bulldogs

777
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: intrigue you as a home favorite or is there something

778
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: else you're eyeing up?

779
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: None intrigued me, It certainly did. I the one I

780
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: like more officially, I'll just throw out there right now.

781
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Kansas UCF or UCF so u CF played Kansas the

782
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: first game in the revenge spot after they lost, and

783
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: now Kansas gets UCF in the exact same revenge by

784
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: after blowing the biggest, most embarrassing what six point and

785
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: ten second come back to Houston six point. However, in

786
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: that game, silver lining, uh lord badongall was awesome, and

787
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: finally Pringles starts showing up and making threes. Like Kansas

788
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: is all about finding like that fourth fifth guy to

789
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: really step up, and we saw when they found that

790
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: guy last year they got really hot Johnny Furfey. This

791
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: year have kind of found those other role guys have

792
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: finally stepped up, and I think they're going to kind

793
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: of use that what the hell loss was as a

794
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: sort of a we're pissed off platform and UCF gets

795
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: the gets the short end the stick twice. Sorry Johnny Dawkins,

796
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: but I think Kansas, Yeah.

797
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: I definitely lean more towards the Gonzaga one shim the.

798
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 4: South Carolina game. Man, I just look at their.

799
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: Last five results and man, you lose to Auburn by

800
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: three at home, You Losa vanna Ope by three on

801
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: the road. Okay, Oklahoma smashed them Florida by one Mississippi

802
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: State overtime.

803
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 4: Like those four results are really good.

804
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 3: That's like the elite elite in the country situations and games,

805
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: and they're right in it. So I it's a lot

806
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: of points frankly for Georgia to cover. I know I've

807
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: been lowing them all year. Not a bad team at all,

808
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 3: but not when I'm looking back right now Lane eight

809
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: to a dangerous South Carolina team. But Gonzaga revenge. This

810
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 3: team is still national title good in my opinion.

811
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 4: I think they do come to play and get a

812
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 4: little revenge on Oregon State.

813
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if the spot is more that Oklahoma

814
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: game for South Carolina where it's like our two straight

815
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: awesome efforts kind of the dead spot on the road.

816
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: Now we had two straight awesome efforts. Again, it's a

817
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: dead spot on the road. We'll see. I'm not going

818
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: to pay to find out. You talked me out of

819
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: it enough, but I will lay it with the Zags

820
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: if it's let's call it less eleven or less in

821
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: the real line. Right now, it's ten at Ken Palm.

822
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: We don't know what the market will say, but yeah,

823
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: I just like the revenge spot in the lineup shift.

824
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: Oregon State has lost a couple of games by more

825
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: than ten this year. I got blown out by lowl

826
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: of Merrymount, so they're not pervious to that.

827
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was weird.

828
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: It was weird, indeed. Okay, some other spots. We're gonna

829
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: move to the spots section. Now. Last week we identified

830
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: that Creighton spot against the Paul. We thought we had

831
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: a great Cincinnati spot. Against Texas Tech, well we were split.

832
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: We weren't like Texas Tech. I think I remember.

833
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: I think it was basically, I know this is a

834
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 2: good spop Fincinnati. I just think they suck. They're not

835
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: good enough to take advantage of it. And Texas Tech

836
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: won on the road, and then Alabama took care of

837
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 2: business against Vanderbilt. Alabama had been off. I think Vandy

838
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: was coming off a big win and wasn't Tennessee. I think, yeah,

839
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: hold up on the road there. So Monday I mentioned

840
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: the Michigan game with them coming off. That's that just

841
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: deep pantsing at per where they were down like twenty

842
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: five immediately in the first half on the road at Mackie.

843
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 2: So perhaps they bounce back against Penn State. Laying nine

844
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 2: for ken Palm a little rock interesting spot here, laying

845
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: ten against Eastern Illinois. They just murdered Lindenwood at Lindenwood.

846
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: Now they're playing Eastern Illinois at Lindenwood on Monday, so

847
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: I believe, Yeah.

848
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 4: I try to find out why, but I couldn't find

849
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 4: it out.

850
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was like a weather related but

851
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: we're in the Midwest, Like it's not terrible weather for

852
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: getting from Eastern Illinois to Saint Louis. So maybe there's

853
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: like a scheduling conflict. I don't know. What I do

854
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: know is Little Rock just played at Lindon Wood and

855
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: so they're familiar with the gym. They didn't have to travel,

856
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: their healthy, healthier Matthew. They've got gat Keck back, Jordan

857
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 2: Jefferson back. They might be the class of this conference,

858
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: especially with their defense. Playing the way it is, Eastern

859
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: Illinois is going to struggle a score. So I think

860
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: it's a good spot, just with like the familiarity and

861
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 2: lack of travel.

862
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: Yep in the jim they shot nine of twenty two

863
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: from three thirteen to fourteen from the line.

864
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: I agree.

865
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: They like the sitelines Lynda Wood, so they have a

866
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: huge edge there at their home away from home.

867
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: There we go. Good note Saint Charles, Missouri right there.

868
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 2: Tuesday I mentioned Gonzaga and Georgia. Thought those were decent spots.

869
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: I think Seaton Hall is a home dog against Providence

870
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: off the Ed Cooley game, for the Friars, and now

871
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: they go on the road to what could be like

872
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: kind of a dead professional gym, or it's like a

873
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: big Prudential Center. It's not kind of like bandbox type thing.

874
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: Could be kind of a dead environment. Might be tough

875
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: for the Friars to get up, especially with a look

876
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: ahead to Saint John's there. And then San Diego State

877
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: just one at Nevada by nineteen coming back home and

878
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: laying a big sixteen number against this feisty Sandy or

879
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: San Jose State team who's typically a patron saint of

880
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 2: our live dog section. But I think it's a good

881
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 2: spot for San Jose State and that one getting a

882
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: big number Kai. Any of these spots really jumping out

883
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: to you.

884
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: What are you seeing, Jim. I'm off the Penn State game.

885
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: I've thought about it more. I don't like it. I

886
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 3: am going to take Iowa, going back to your previous discussion.

887
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: But Little Rock this is the best team in the

888
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: Ohio Valley. I thought so coming into the year. They're

889
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: really starting to separate themselves. I know, more heads like

890
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: a top league. I think Little Rock's better. This defense

891
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: is incredible, especially in OBC play. I think They're gonna

892
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 3: suffocate Easternillnoy and the whole Lindenwood thing is just bizarre

893
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 3: playing at there at the same venue. Not a big

894
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: travel at all for each snill Annoy, I think. I

895
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 3: mean it's like an hour or two I think from Charleston.

896
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 4: Something like that.

897
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 3: But yeah, Little Rock is a spot for me that

898
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: I'm hitting out of these this group here. Yeah, Sanisey State, Matt,

899
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 3: it's a big line. I've been high in San Diego

900
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: st all year my Nember probably won't get there. And

901
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 3: then Seaton Hall, I just wish they were good. I

902
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: don't think this Providence team is any good. Like they

903
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 3: hit a bunch of shots out of their butt frankly,

904
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: and they were so high Dune the Steorgetown.

905
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 4: But Seaton Hall is horrible, So I can't get on

906
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 4: board with that one either. Yeah, I agree, San Jose,

907
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 4: I like a lot.

908
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: I know Jimmy talked about the ten miles saying when

909
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: he went out and he bought the like the stupid

910
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: glasses a game and Palm's got him at seven. Here

911
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: they come. They are talented this year, relatively right, relatively,

912
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: I will say that their older experience, I think they

913
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: can kind of go in and muck it up with

914
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the Dutchers, who are young. This season, they've kind of

915
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: laid a couple of eggs in weird spots. I don't

916
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: think they'res invincible as a typical as Tech team, so

917
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: I like that. Miles has played Dutch close the last

918
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: couple of.

919
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: Seasons as well.

920
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a big number for a bad offense.

921
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: Santego State outside the top one hundred offensively, are they

922
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: gonna score a bunch? It's gonna have to be like

923
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: holding Santa the Stay to fifty to cover that game,

924
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 2: which is possible. It's what they did to Nevada. But yeah,

925
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna take that one to Santasee State.

926
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: Like the spot, I'll add with with Kay's worry about

927
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: Seton Hall. As much as I love that spot, Seton

928
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 2: Halls have been banged up. Chauncey Jenkins has been her

929
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 2: Dai Wusu did return last game. They have one more

930
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: guy out over the weekend. Double checking it right now,

931
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: Isaiah Colman, who arguing player player, Yeah so he matters, yes, Okay, Yeah,

932
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: that's that's more than enough reason to not try to

933
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 2: find the right spot to back the Pirates there, even

934
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: with Providence and a difficult part of its schedule. Okay,

935
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: that is it for our spots section. Let's go to

936
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: a quick.

937
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 4: Trash pick, the trash man pick of the league. I'm

938
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: the trash man. Just throw me the trash, your garbage,

939
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 4: and you know it.

940
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: Totally unreliable, undependable.

941
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 4: That's it. You've been told off. How do you like that?

942
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: Good? And we have a returning guest to a returning

943
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: squad here Northern Illinois. Man, it's a it's a really

944
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: good spot. If I could find any reason at all

945
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: to trust the Huskies here. Matthew Akron just blew out

946
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: the other undefeated team in the conference, Miami Ohio by thirty. Now,

947
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: how do they care about going to Northern Illinois, a

948
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 2: bottom ten team in the country. You could see a

949
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: lack of daisical effort from the Zips here is and

950
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: I you good enough for us to jump in the

951
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: dumpster and back them at.

952
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes points, It's funny, I thought there, I don't know

953
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: who the best player is. I previous leagueest know who

954
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: it is. I was starting thinking it was Ethan Butler

955
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: former like Oregon guy, like top fifty ish recruit. I

956
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: degree was playing really well. Then he didn't play last game,

957
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: but they still played pretty wellgainst ball state, I.

958
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: Think they beat him, won a game their first Max.

959
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: Dom I should say yes, and kind of a ball

960
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: state problem is part of that equation.

961
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: But I think n.

962
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: IU is, however good you think they are, they aren't, however,

963
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: not so bad do you think they are. I think

964
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: they're priced like a penny stock right now, so you're

965
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: going to be getting a pretty good price here. And

966
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: I think Akron is playing like they're really good. Acrons

967
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: not this good. That's my Acron take. Kay, They're very good,

968
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: they are not this good. I think they're this good.

969
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 3: I think this z Acron team is absolutely incredible, which

970
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: is just ridiculous. John Gross did it again. I mean,

971
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: they lost everybody from last year and they're still the

972
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 3: best team this league.

973
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: Look at the last year. They're not better than last year.

974
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 3: They might beat Miami, ohiab almost thirty, beat Buffalo by thirty,

975
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 3: beat Michigan by thirty something, bad team shaving points exactly

976
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: bad teams, and I use a bad team I think

977
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 3: is going to smoke them. I at least I'm not

978
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 3: in a hurry to back in. I I'll say that

979
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: I've been burned by the bottom of the mac and

980
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: I'm just not in a hurry. Besides, just in Michigan,

981
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 3: of course against my bio, I'm gonna take a thing

982
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: at that one.

983
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'll be an Anni waiting patiently in line.

984
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be jumping elbow and people out

985
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: of the way, but I'll wait patiently in line, and

986
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll wait my turn.

987
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, this certainly won't be a mega whale nuclear

988
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: warhead play or something. You know, it's it's hold your

989
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: nose if you're going to do it. Akron is number

990
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: one in the conference in two point percentage offense and defense,

991
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: one of the most sustainable type of stats. So even

992
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: though they are also number one and three point percentage

993
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: offense and defense, there's still a lot of sustainability within

994
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: their numbers underlying. So you're really counting on a like

995
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 2: sleepy effort from Akron from Northern ILLINOI to have a chance.

996
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it, people, if you want to,

997
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: there is that spot potential in the trash area.

998
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: They're playing so fast this year, it's like by far

999
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 3: John Gross's fastest team. It's allowing them to blow teams

1000
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 3: out more, and I think it's inflating their their analytics.

1001
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they're able beat teams by margin because they

1002
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 3: play any possessions.

1003
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: That's good in this conference. It's great for this conference.

1004
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: I agree with that this style plays well in this league.

1005
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 2: In like in eight years or nine years at Akron,

1006
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: his previous highest rank in tempo one hundred and tenth seventeenth. Yeah,

1007
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 2: last year they were two hundred and seventy first.

1008
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah SnO breaks right now.

1009
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: Totally totally different kind of team. All right, fellas, that's it.

1010
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: We didn't have anything we wanted to spotlight this week,

1011
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: so we're just going to skip right to the recap here.

1012
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: Here's what I am rolling with. I decided not to

1013
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 2: go Iowa. I have enough other potential bets here. I'm

1014
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,959
Speaker 2: taking wake Forest. It says ten right now, it can come.

1015
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what it will be, but I'll

1016
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: bet it down to seven. So hopefully that's going to

1017
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: be out there in the market. Georgetown plus six against

1018
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,720

00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: two VAH plus sixteen to ten miles in the boys.

1023
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: So that's a bunch of kai. Are you gonna stay

1034
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 3: seven and a half in real markets right now. That's

1035
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: good for me.

1036
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to do it. Matthew,

Speaker 1: I got Wake money Line. I brought that at fourth.

1044
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,439

Speaker 1: Delta Devils. I'll be back talking about you later in

1050
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: twenty two in the market.

1051
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 5: Twenty okay, official grading at twenty two there, yeah, I

1052
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 5: mean don't twenty four is probably like you're just reaching,

1053
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,560

1054
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,120
