Yesterday 32 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: was Owen. I texted Owen, Stacy and Zach. The only 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: person I texted something that I love about Owen, who's twelve, 34 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: the only person who responded. By the way I texted it, 35 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: no response from anybody. So then I text back hello, 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: and you know who responds Owen. Owen says, Owen is 37 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: a good person. That was it. Owen is the only 38 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: person who responded to the Day of Kindness about himself. 39 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: What happened the other six days of the week. Though 40 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: everyone gets ripped, we we act like we normally do 41 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: where nobody is nice to each other. We say the 42 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: meanest things possible. Uh, And at the end of the day, 43 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: either one of my kids will look at me and say, 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: you are a child. That's generally how it goes. At 45 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: least you get one day, though. Uh did anyone else 46 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: get totally totally played by Kansas State against Kansas last night? Nope? 47 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I did not know. I mean it was I think 48 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: Kansastate is the best team in the Big Twelve, and 49 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: I've been saying that for a while now. Kansas, if 50 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: they were fully healthy, it would be a different story. 51 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: But after a lost Kansas at home in that building, 52 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: which just is probably the hardest place to play out 53 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: in college basketball. Um, and it's a place Kansas State 54 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: hasn't won since two thousand and six. They've been dealing 55 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: with some nagging injuries, so it's like a quick turnaround. 56 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: So I just can't stay completely away. I thought there 57 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: was value in a line with Kansas State, but the situation, 58 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: some of the injury concerns I had, and I just 59 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: hate fading Kansas at home after a loss. I took. 60 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: I took Kansas. I figured it was going to be 61 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: a blow out. Why did you think it was going 62 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: to be a blowout? I don't know, Number one like 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: Suky Studs, I mean, you know, playing at home. Um, 64 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I had a feeling not 65 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: to mention. I mean, you know, my quote unquote numbers 66 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: that I run. Um, we are a professional gambling media network. 67 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: You can't put quotes around the numbers that you run. 68 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: You are you can't quote the numbers. You're a representative. Well, 69 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's not really, it's not like it's not 70 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: like some super serious whatever. It's like my basic looking 71 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: at the two teams and kind of chussing out what 72 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: I think is important to the two teams playing. And 73 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: you know, I just not I don't know. I just thought, 74 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought it was gonna go out. 75 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: That's well, guess who didn't think it was going to 76 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: be a blowout. I'm gonna go with you, Chad Mellman 77 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: didn't think it was going to be a blowout. Because 78 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: Chad Melman has spent so much time listening to the 79 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: Action Network Colleges podcast with Stucky and Colin. When he 80 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Colin Wilson, he's not when he's not skiing and uh, 81 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Eli Herskovic and Mike Randall, or as the callers left 82 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: to call him, uh Eli Randall, and Um, I have 83 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: so bought in on Kansas State, on Washington, on Marquette, 84 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: on Houston that I just figure, like I see Kansas 85 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: State at plus four and a half against Kansas, and 86 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: that's going to be the right side because they're defensive stalwarts, 87 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: because Wade is playing, and because this is the game 88 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: that like they get to prove that they are coming 89 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: up strong and they are making a stand and they 90 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: are winning that Big twelve. I wish I had been 91 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you. I know you guys 92 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: talked about on the on the college's podcast Stucky, but 93 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: I thought it was a really long podcast and that 94 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: was way way at the end, and I was sort 95 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: of losing focus. So I can't remember if you guys 96 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: were on Kansas or Kansas State when you got to 97 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: the Big twelve matchup of the day yesterday, one of 98 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: one of us was the other two passed um and 99 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: including myself, and it just always tread lightly fading Kansas 100 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: at home, no matter how bad they look, I mean, 101 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: especially when they lose. They were down by I think 102 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: forty at one point the Texas Tech. It was one 103 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing ASTs itself has ever had. And 104 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: Wages wasn't right last night, and he's I mean, he 105 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: hasn't been practicing because of a foot injury. So you know, 106 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: when they go from a Monday to a Saturday and 107 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: he has four days off, I think it's okay. But 108 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: just with one day off in between games that they're 109 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: playing on Saturday, you could tell that he was a 110 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: little hobbled and just not right. I think I'll be 111 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: fine for the tournament. And Kansas State it's just the 112 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: team you don't want to face in the Tornent because 113 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: of that defense, their experienced and a guy like Wade 114 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: as an X factor. But last night was just, uh, 115 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: they were walking into a buzz all. So if I 116 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: have Kansas State, I think it like one one or 117 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: something like that. I should still feel pretty good about that. Absolutely. Yeah. 118 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean the two things that I've been the two 119 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned Marquette and I've been screaming. You mentioned the podcast. 120 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: I've been saying it on the podcast for the last 121 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: few episodes, and I put out my futures article about 122 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: a month ago, and I've been screaming that Kansas State 123 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: should not be significant, they should not have significantly higher 124 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: odds than the rest of the Big twelve. And they 125 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,559 Speaker 1: were at one. Well now you can pretty much find 126 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: them forty one, which is where right around where Kansas is. 127 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's you know, fair odds of where 128 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: they should be and represents I think they're fair shot. 129 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: And I say the same thing from Marquette. I mean 130 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: Marquette even as last week you could find them eighty 131 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: to one and Villanova was thirty two one forty one, 132 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: and I think Marquette's a better team. Um, and now 133 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna find Marquette probably around forty. If you 134 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: have those teams that eighty one are better, I think 135 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: that both of them have a shot to make a 136 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: deep run. Who do you have right now? Who are 137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: your future teams right now? Well? Funny you should ask, 138 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: because I was looking at at an account and I 139 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and I saw that I've had this Arizona future, and 140 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: I was like, why is the is the and the 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: college football things still they're like just graded as it 142 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: didn't you know it was, didn't win and get on 143 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: with it. I completely forgot. I even took the them 144 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: in to win a basketball tournament because that's how much 145 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: I've given up on on my team. So it's been 146 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: it's been kind of hard for me, um to really 147 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: get into it. That being said, um And I would 148 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: lean for this way. I don't hate Watford. I know 149 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: that's crazy, but I don't hate them, especially not there tough. Well, listen, 150 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. I mean it's Look, it's 151 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: a little bit crazy because like, there's no way Watford 152 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: is winning the tournament, but they're ranked for the first 153 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: time since I don't know when. Um, And, like, I 154 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of sentiment that like Wofford. I 155 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: can't even believe I'm saying this. I've never said the 156 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: sentence in my life. There's sentiment that there's value on Wafford. 157 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's sort of what I see. I 158 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: don't They're not gonna win, but it can make a 159 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: run if if you want to put a few bucks 160 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: on it, though, like why not, right, it could pay off? 161 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: They couldn't. Maybe they could be Like I don't know, 162 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: is Watford a Catholic school like Loyola? Do they have 163 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: a sister Jean or whoever? The funk that is I 164 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: don't know, Stuck, what do you know about Watford? You 165 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: must know everything about Watford? Yeah, I mean I know 166 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: a lot about Offord. But if it's a private school, 167 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: it's a liberal arts school down in Spartanburg, South Carolina. 168 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: And the Terriers and they have uh a kid Fletcher McGee, 169 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: who get just one of the best shooters in the country. 170 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean, as a team, they shoot three. They have 171 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: a number of guys who are just unbelievable from behind 172 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: the ark, and that's going to be I mean, they 173 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: can shoot their way to the Elite eight. And you said, 174 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't know when the last time we ranked. This 175 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: is the first time in school history that they're ranked UM. 176 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: And if you look at their schedule, they didn't get 177 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: a huge nonconference win, but they played a number of 178 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: teams really tight, like North Carolina type, Mississippi State tight, Kansas. 179 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: They played a lot of teams early in the season 180 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: where the margin was always about ten but it was, 181 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, a one or two point game with eight 182 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: to go, and every one of those games. So they're 183 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,239 Speaker 1: a legit throughout. They're a legit top twenty five team 184 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: UM in the nation, not just for the rankings, but 185 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: as far as actual talent and potential, and I want 186 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: to do a little game here for a sec. Go ahead, Joy, 187 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: you you say what you're gonna say. I don't know. 188 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: I was just gonna throw away that. I also kind 189 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: of like I have State in Michigan and Marquette. Those 190 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: are those are if I had to pick my teams, um, 191 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: that I think have a good chance making a legitimate run, 192 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go there, Michigan more so for that's going 193 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: to be rooting for type. I don't actually think that 194 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: they are. I don't know. I don't it's Michigan, I don't. 195 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to doubt them, but I don't know 196 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: that they're necessarily gonna win. I'm with you on Marquette. Um, 197 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about Michigan's shooting woes that were 198 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: evident against Michigan State. Um. Yes, stucky, yep. I'm want 199 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: to play a little game right now. Tell me everything 200 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: you know about Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State was a team 201 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: that I was going to mention as a potential sleeper. No, yes, no, 202 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: no joke. They what's a I like them to there? There? 203 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm not even joking when I say that, I absolutely 204 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: I like them too. I've been on them and I 205 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: liked them. They're one of the most experienced teams in 206 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: the entire country, if not the most um and they're 207 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: just they're gonna they can play, and they've played all 208 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: the top teams in Ohao Valley close all year long. Uh. 209 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: You know, you're obviously going to have your favorites in 210 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: that conference with morant A very State, but I think 211 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Jacksonville State is a sleeper. And one of the one 212 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: of the fun facts that I like to throw out 213 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: with Jacksonville State is their name is Jacksonville State, but 214 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: they're not in Florida. They're actually in Alabama, which is 215 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: where that school is. But I do think that they 216 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: have some potential to potentially sneak up and win the 217 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: Ohio Valley I swear to God, I swear to God 218 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: to play this game. I went to ken Palm dot 219 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: com and I scrolled down to like what I thought 220 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: was the most random part of the rankings and found 221 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: a team in the most random conference. I chose Jacksonville 222 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: State at a hundred and nineteen in the Ohio Valley Conference. 223 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: And you had a serious take on them. That's pretty impressive. 224 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: That is really really good. All right, let me do 225 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: an the game Cocks there in h They're one of 226 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: my favorite schools. To some people where that at because 227 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: most people assume it's in Jacksonville, Florida, But it's in Jacksonvill, Alabama, 228 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: which I have to admit I have no idea where 229 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: that is, um, but I do know that it is in 230 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: in Alabama. The very experienced team. All right, for both 231 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: of you, what is the most rando team you guys 232 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: have made a bet on this year? God, I would 233 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: say one that I'm not too proud of. Well, I 234 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: was proud of it once, not proud of the other. 235 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: But Stetson.

And 291 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 1: once upon a time, J I T may have been 292 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: the worst team in like the history of college basketball. 293 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: Ye is that right? Stuck? Yeah? And then then they 294 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: they've been on on the color. I mean they've done 295 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: a lot for that program, but it has in Jersey City, 296 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: the Highlanders. They almost beating Michigan, um, I believe two 297 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: years ago or so. But yeah, they were the worst. 298 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: They were the worst team by far when they came 299 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: into D one. Well, it's one of those teams. I'm like, wait, 300 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: there is the one. I mean, that's one of those 301 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: those teams. I sort of look at and say that, 302 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: I mean there are now that I look at it, 303 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of teams. I look in and 304 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: I say that. But I'm curious why you were out 305 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: of n I game, Chad. I mean, that's gonna be 306 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: really small. I think it's a really small gym too. 307 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: It's a tiny gym. A good friend of mine who 308 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: I used to go to overnight camp with, um his 309 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: name is Ryan Marks, and he's been a college basketball 310 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: code for years and he was once the college basketball 311 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: coach at UM.

And so they were playing NJ I T 315 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: and so it's when I was living in the city 316 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: and maybe I was living in Jersey, and so I 317 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: went to UH. I went to an n I n 318 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: J I T U T P a game UM. And 319 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: that's why I went interesting.

So I mean 489 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: you consider that mean, but I mean or like or 490 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: if there's anything we have learned is that Rick Pettino 491 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: and Bob Kraft could never be involved in a threesome together. 492 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Well you know, I'm I'm just looking at the time, 493 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I mean, that was where that 494 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: came from, Like fifteen seconds versus fifteen minutes. Oh my 495 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: was that? Oh I thought that was worth That is good? Yeah, 496 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean the things I didn't want to know about 497 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: either of those guys, but now that I do, I 498 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: just feel like, I mean, that's where my brain want. 499 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, listen, I'm all for it. Okay, good. 500 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm totally all for it. Okay good, um good, because 501 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean if you weren't, I'd be in trouble. Yeah, exactly. Well, 502 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: I think that's actually why we hired you. Um, hey, stuck, 503 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: Let's transition to one more thing before we get out 504 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: of here today, because I feel like we've made some progress. 505 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: I feel like we've come up with a really good 506 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: column for Joffe, which might have been the only point 507 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: of the three of us getting together in the podcast. 508 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: We proved that, Um, your knowledge of college basketball was 509 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: so deep I could throw a dart against the map 510 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: of the universe and you would still come up with 511 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: something to say about a college basketball team. And uh, 512 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: and you have a column up today on Action Network 513 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: or download the app. It's free Action Network app. Uh, 514 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: your favorite situations for today. It's Tuesday. But I feel 515 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: like these are applicable to any time during you know, 516 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: the remaining sort of ten to twelve days of the 517 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: season before we get into conference tournaments, which really start 518 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: next week on March five. So, um, tell me about 519 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: your situationals right right now and today. Yeah. I can't 520 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: wait for conference tournaments. By the way. Uh. Yeah, I 521 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: mentioned Jackson, State, Western Kentucky, Illinois State, Fresno. Stay there 522 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: a couple of teams I just had circle just uh, 523 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna have touns of content around them, but they're there. 524 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: You know. I look for either experienced teams or you know, 525 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: really young teams that do something really well. But it's 526 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: really a fresh start to the season, so we have 527 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: a ton of data from the regular scene. So I 528 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: love conference formaents. But for tonight, you know, it's what 529 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: I do is on every Sunday night, I'll look at 530 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the weekend results, and I'll look at the next weekend's games, 531 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: and then I'll go through the entire week and then 532 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: circle all the potential you know, situational spots, if the 533 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: team might have a letdown, if there's a look ahead, 534 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: if there's any revenge from earlier in the season, and 535 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: then I circle all those spots. I kind of capped 536 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: the games and look at my quote unquote numbers, uh, 537 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: and then I look at the matchups and then once 538 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: the lines come and then I basically have a range 539 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: of Okay, here's where I'll play those games. And you know, 540 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: yesterday the spot was Kansas. I like the spot, but 541 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: I didn't like the line, so I didn't play it. 542 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: You know, you could also say Kentucky fading Kentucky tonight 543 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: they beat Auburn. They have Tennessee on Saturday playing a 544 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: lifeless Arkansas team tonight. But you know, the line is 545 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: about sixteen and a half ish, it's right around where 546 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: I make it, and I mean Kentucky, it might just 547 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: be a layof drill. With their offensive rebounding, Arkansas cannot 548 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: get any defensive rebound so I'm worried there. So the 549 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: three that actually made the final cut or West Virginia, 550 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: and I mean, this is a great spot to fade TCU, 551 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: who beat Iowa State over the weekend and that's a 552 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: huge win for them, potentially clinched the tournament bid. On 553 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: deck they have Texas Tech and then Kansas State, and in 554 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: in the middle they go to West Virginia, who over 555 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: the weekend and actually over the last two games they've 556 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: showed me a lot. They've fought against Baylor, they're in 557 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: that game, leading it for most of the game, and 558 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: they do the same thing against Kansas State at home 559 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: the game before when they lead for you know, they 560 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: were right around they were either leading, tied or down 561 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: by one or two is a really tight game for 562 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: the first thirty thirty five minutes before a late run 563 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: by Kansas State. So Huggins still has them fighting. It's 564 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: a team that fast four starters and went through just 565 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: an enormous law as a result. And one of one 566 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: of the games in that law was at TCU and 567 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: they lost by thirty six. It was even uglier than that, 568 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: and that dropped them the oh and five in the 569 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: Big Twelve first time in over twenty years, their own 570 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: five in conference. So I think they're gonna be motivate tonight. 571 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: And you don't get a focused effort from TCU because 572 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: of the classic sandwich spot. Uh and West Virginia is 573 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: clearly still fighting. Their younger players are getting a lot 574 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: of confidence. And then the other two that I looked 575 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: at were Ohio State. I think this is the right 576 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: time to play Ohio State. They do have a revenge 577 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: from an earlier season matchup. But listen, Iowa could be 578 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: Ohio State right now on the bubble if Iowa has 579 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: won count with games at the buzzer against really bad teams. 580 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: They beat Rutgers at the buzzer off a shot off 581 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: the top of the backboard. UH. They beat Northwestern at 582 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: the buzzer. They you know, came back and beat Indiana 583 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: and overtime, so it's been a really fortunate team. I 584 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: think Ohio State can take a lot from that win. 585 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: That loss over the weekend at Maryland, they were playing 586 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: with otherly and score C. J. Jackson, and there's a 587 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: lot of the role players, you know, got some confidence 588 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: in that game. Jackson will be back tonight, so I 589 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: think that they get this win. This is desperation time 590 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: for a house state. A lot of times that can 591 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: work against the team, but I think there's a lot 592 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: of value in the two two and a half, which 593 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: you'll find out there. And then the other one is 594 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: Texas A and M plus eleven plus twelve. I love 595 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: fading L s U in these spots because they're so young. 596 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: They're one of the fifteen youngest teams in the country 597 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: in regards to experience. Faded them against Florida UH in 598 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: a classic situational spot. Same thing here after that huge win, 599 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: huge emotional win over Tennessee, I think they have a 600 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: let down here, come out a little flat and MS 601 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: surprisingly quietly one four or five. Getting a little more confidence, 602 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: they have some lengths. I think they hang around here 603 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: in l s U pulls away late. Jeff, are you 604 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: gonna make any of these place? Go ahead? Oh? I 605 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: was just gonna say this fun factor. You sucky. Do 606 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: you know who West Virginia beat by two points? Kansas 607 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: Jacksonville State? What's that? Oh? Jackonville Stay? Yeah Jackonville State 608 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: should have won that game too, and that was when 609 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: West Virginia was healthy. But yeah, West Virginia also to 610 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: be Kans at home, um, and that was just a 611 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: huge letdown spot for Kansas. But yeah, I think I 612 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: think you get you get an effort, and I think 613 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: it's a great what Haggans is doing with this roster, 614 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: which we lost four starters in the middle of the 615 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: year UM to either injury or suspension. And the fact 616 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: that they're still fighting and they fought on the road 617 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: at Baylor. I mean that that tells me a lot 618 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: that they're going to fight until the end here. And 619 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: they have Gordon and McCabe younger, younger guys who look 620 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: like they're gaining some confidences secondary scores. But yeah, jack 621 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: Ville State actually should have beat West Virginia. That was 622 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: a really good game. So shout out to Jackson Obama. Listen, Jothy, 623 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: you know what you did there.
