I am your host, Kai McEwan, joined by 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: the rest of the three man Weave crew, Jim Root 12 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: and Matt Cox. Fellas, we have a fantastic show today. 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 3: It's our weekly show, our usual segments, starting with, of 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: course the live Dog of the week and Fellas, we 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: got one right, we got one outright winner. Last week 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: Rice came through for us against Western Kentucky. What a sad, 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: sad team Western Kentucky is jim Rick Stanleys Ferry, what 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: are you doing over there? 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 2: Well, he has been away from the team for health issues, 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: so I don't want to throw that too many stones, 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: that Rick in particular, but that team is a very 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: bad favorite. It is rare that we come to a 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: unanimous consensus on a live Dog of the week, and 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: we were all all over Rice, and thankfully that was 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: the one that did well and we don't need to 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: worry about the others, right. 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: Indeed, well, we will mention it because we'd like to 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: keep ourselves honest. Here Matthew on the Big Bets on 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: Campus podcast, Georgetown came up short against Paul Ducane, lost 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: to Dayton, Georgia State lost to James Madison, and Colorado 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: State lost in Mexico. In fact, I think those teams 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: all went zero to four against the spread, not just. 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: That's good, right, That's what you want when we endorse 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: money line dogs, Kyle. We want our teams to not 35 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: only not win, but not cover, so we feel justified 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: in endorsing money line Pyes, right, yes. 37 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: Maybe Colorado State will be healthy again someday. They are 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: just ravaged by injuries. Yep. 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: The injuries didn't help. And we will take excuses whatever 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: we can make them. That's what gamblers do. 41 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: They make excuses and my other excuses. Why did I 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: bet Georgetown's Yes, dum, don't bet Georgetown. 43 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: Every gambler is the most screwed person on earth. Ah Man, 44 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: I get screwed every game. This always happens to me. 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: Ah the gambo's fallacy. All right, Live Dog of the 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: Week for this week. I picked a few out here 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: for Wednesday and Thursday. 48 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Mine where as mine. 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: Bellas as always, please feel free to add some at 50 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: the end here. Not a whole lot of like slam 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: dunk options, I would say in quotation marks Wednesday, though, 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: I'm throwing these out there. See if you guys like it, 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 3: see if it sticks to the wall. Yukon's at Providence, 54 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: Providence plus six on Kimpum. They are in control right 55 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: now of the Big East. Yukon just lost to Xavier. 56 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: I still think Yukon's the best team in the country, 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 3: but you never know. And then Massou plus eight at Arkansas, 58 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: who says no? The Missouri Tigers continue there, streak and 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: beat the Hogs at bud Walton. What a site that 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: would be. And then finally on Wednesday, Colorado State again 61 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: plus six at Nevada. We have to know the health 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: situation of course of the Rams. There are others some 63 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: a ten Missouri Valley games as well, but those three 64 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: stuck out to me as options on Wednesday. Fellow's thoughts 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: on those before we hit. 66 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: Thursday, Well, Providence never loses, so why not just go 67 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: with Providence? So it was impervious to any sort of 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: bad performance right now at Kolia is a monster and 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: the amp is going to be amped for that one. 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 2: I believe our good pal John Fanta said he thinks 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: it's going to be the best environment of the season. Wow, 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: Providence is going to be blowing the roof off of 73 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: the old dunk. Maybe if the Yukon hadn't lost his Xavier, 74 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: I would buy it, But that does hurt it a 75 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: little bit that they're coming in there off a loss. 76 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: I would probably say matt that Yukon actually writes the ship. 77 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: So I'm not actually going to endorse Providence. But of 78 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: those three, that's maybe the one that's ends out most. 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: I'm scared of our Tigers playing a team that's more 80 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: comfortable in a track meet. Arkansas very athletic, very solid 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: in that style, and then Colorado State Tabby Jackson, Jalen Lake. 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: Those guys have been out key creators, shooters, perimeter defenders. 83 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Down to eight scholarship guys without them, I'm nervous. So 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: Providence is the one I'm closest to taking, Matthew, but 85 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: I'm not quite gonna endorse that one. 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, oero for three here, but been the closest for 87 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: me is actually your m i zzou love it, love 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: it kind of in the same vein of the four 89 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: losers we had last week, both against the spread and outright. Obviously, 90 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: I think this can go one of two directions. This 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: goes like Arkansas by twenty or Maazoo wins this game. 92 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: So I think the least likely outcome is a Mazoo 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: cover without a one. So that's I'm looking at the 94 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: money line here. 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: I buy that. 96 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think my number is going to really 97 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: set up for it, but it just this screams Arkansas 98 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: to me. 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: It does Arkansas off a loss as well to the 100 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: LSU game last team out Thursday, though, I have two 101 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: options here and I'm taking both. Just gonna set that 102 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: up right now. UAB plus five at Ford Atlantic again 103 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: per Kimpom. We'll see if we actually get five. That's 104 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: the biggest dog you'll see ua B the rest of 105 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: the season until the Big Dance. So if you like 106 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: the UAB Blazers, as you should, boy, you might want 107 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: to snatch up that five if we get it from 108 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: odds makers again, it probably opens a little bit below that, 109 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: and then Pacific out in the West Coast Conference plus 110 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: seven per kimpom at San Diego. San Diego not exactly 111 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: a juggernaut. Still might have guys out of the lineup 112 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: in Pacific. Hey, they're scrappy. They just beat Loyal and 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: Marymount Matt. What do you think of those two. 114 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: I still don't believe Pacific is as bad as they played, 115 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: but as you mentioned, they are starting to show signs 116 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: of life, and I'm inclined to think that the uh 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: that the Terreros will be without Jas Townsend. 118 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: And a well Dlai and Eric Williams. 119 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Hilaire and Eric Williams is now the new one out. 120 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, those are two packed fall All Conference dudes. 121 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: So if you take away that talent on the rest 122 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: of the roster usd versus Pacific, who actually has a 123 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: pretty decent it's a lot of quantity, but like they're 124 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: all pretty good players. I think they're starting to kind 125 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: of figure it out, so I would lean the tires 126 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: that actuallymight For my only ad, I don't like uab 127 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: KI because Fau's had a whole week off that actually 128 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: works out really nicely in their schedule. They go into 129 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: North Texas, win that game, now they have a whole 130 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: week to come back, reset prep get geeked up again 131 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: for UAB. 132 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Okay, But does UA B having to host UTSA count 133 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: as having to play favorites in League Player? 134 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: They dug him for that game. They dug and baby 135 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: the Roadrunners. 136 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with Kai. I also, I have an FAU 137 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: future in c USA, so there's gonna be maybe a 138 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: mini headch here for me going UAB money line. If 139 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: FAU wins that game, they'll hold wins over the two 140 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: teams most closely in competition with them in North Texas 141 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: and UA B SO. I do think the Blazers compete. 142 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: The talent level is similar, if not tilted towards UA 143 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: B SO. I like that one, Kai, and I love Pacific. 144 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: I think they're trending up, figuring out some how a 145 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: lot of new pieces fit together. And San Diego. You 146 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: mentioned the absences of Delaire and Williams. They also kind 147 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: of have an absence on the sideline. I'm not sure 148 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: Steve Lavan is all the way in on this team 149 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: really totally set up trying to make San Diego the 150 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: best version of itself considering the talent they have. Even 151 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: with some of the absences, they've been really really poor. 152 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: Quick Quick gambling microcosm story for the listeners. Maybe they'll 153 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: enjoy Pacific On Saturday among the one hundred and fourteen 154 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: line games. I had put a half unit on them 155 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: to start the day. Saw that there was back available 156 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: five again, and I wanted to add a little more 157 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: at plus five. Couldn't find it on my book. Not 158 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: sure why. Oh, it's because the game was already over. 159 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: Pacific had already won. I didn't even know it had 160 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: tipped off, much less that it was over. Yeah, they 161 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: had great, great sensation to find it out that way, 162 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: But man, I wish I had got more on it 163 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: now in that sense. 164 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: Not having a sweat bets though it was fantastic. You 165 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: just get rid of the score bug for an entire 166 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: day and then just see how you did the next day. 167 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: I think it'd be a lot bet or. 168 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: For your health, that's stress. We should only bet Hawaii 169 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: games from now who season? 170 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: Hey, fellows, any other ads to this section? I see 171 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: a couple of years, Matt will go to your first ads. 172 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: The Milwaukee one I see listed here caught by I, 173 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: But Pacific is my only official play. Yeah, kind of 174 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: a week selection here. I just think that in general, 175 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: the a lot of these favorites early in conference play 176 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: won't be as caught off guard by perhaps some dangerous dogs, 177 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: so maybe not as as strong of an overall section portfolio. 178 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: I guess, Doggie doldrums, we're gonna be looking for once 179 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: once you hit the league play in like February, and 180 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: maybe the favorites are a little less focused and dialed in. 181 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: That might be best. But yeah, Matt, you mentioned Milwaukee 182 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: here plus seven at Cleveland State on Thursday. I'm going 183 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: to add this to Kuy that two pick two pack 184 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: you have, So I'll go with the trio on Thursday 185 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: with UAB Pacific in Milwaukee. Cleveland State just strikes me 186 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: as better as kind of a scrappy underdog, sow the 187 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: game down, junk it up a little bit, and Milwaukee's 188 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: kind of trending up. Matt. You remember Angelo Stewart, who's 189 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: supposed to be their point guard. He's like a bench, 190 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: not even rotation piece. Now they totally restructured the back court. 191 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: They just want at Detroit as a similar plus seven 192 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: ish dog. I think they're fully capable of winning this game, 193 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: and Detroit's better than Cleveland State and Milwaukee already on 194 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: that so I think the Panthers are a decent little 195 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: wager on Thursday. 196 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I'll throw a two more kay for consideration real quick here, 197 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: sorry Portland. Portland stayed at Eastern Washington on Thursday and 198 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Calca Fullarton at AUC Riverside probably plus seven. 199 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's potential injury issues for Riverside there getting hurt late. 200 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: I don't mind those Ewash by the way, just went 201 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 3: on the Montana road trip and swept it, swept it. 202 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: Very impressive for that's Texas Tech. 203 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: They're good. 204 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, recap, I'm taking you ab Pacific. Jim is 205 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: too along with Milwaukee and matt is just on the 206 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: Pacific Tigers. So consensus Pacific. All right, let's see if 207 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: you can do it. 208 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: Be as good as Rice'll always be Rice. 209 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 3: Next section. Blowout City last week recap not bad. The 210 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 3: Big ten trio against the Swack went two and one. 211 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: Ohio State beat Alabama and m by thirty one to cover. 212 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 3: Perdue did not cover against four to A and N, 213 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: but they were up forty side note they have not 214 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 3: covered in seven straight contests. The boiler Makers yikes. 215 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got a little inflated in the market by 216 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: winning by twenty in three straight games in Portland, and 217 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: I think we're seeing that come back a little bit. 218 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: And then Illinois covered against Bethune Cookman, beating them by 219 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: thirty three. Are there two games Virginia did not cover 220 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: against Albany. I believe a shorthanded Albany team not exactly 221 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: the best effort there from the Who's no. 222 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: Yeahin Virginia did the same thing preduded. They got outside 223 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: the number and then just fell asleep and let him 224 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: back in. 225 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: Not great, but TCU destroyed Central Arkansas by forty something points. 226 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: Wasn't close, So if you were on them, congratulations, good 227 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: job horn Frogs. This week Wednesday nothing great in my opinion. Thursday, 228 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: we have a couple options here. We have Green Bay 229 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: going to perdue Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne's favored by twenty 230 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 3: on kim pom, which seems like a million points. Jim, 231 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 3: I'm a little concerned there won't be enough possessions. But 232 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: Fort Wayne is a lot better. 233 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, green and Fort Wayne really can dominate this lesser competition. 234 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: They really really struggle to step up in class, but 235 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: against teams of their similar ilk or worse, they're consistently 236 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: a lot better. And Fort Wayne will at least try 237 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: to run some they're going to push the temple themselves. 238 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: It's just Green Bay really tries to shorten the game 239 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: because they have almost zero talent. I can't believe how 240 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: far that program has fallen since firing Linke Darner completely mysteriously. 241 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: They two twenty third and Ken Palm his last year. 242 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: There never worse than to sixtieth and now they've been 243 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: three forty third and three fifty six the last two 244 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: years just a disaster. 245 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: Be careful what you wish for, Matthew. 246 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: If they were enamored by they're gets blinded by the 247 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: glow of bo Ryan and one of the Grinch glow 248 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: in the Grinch Clowy. They played extremely fun style in 249 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: her Darner RP forty Baby, you know running gun awesome? 250 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Now will Ryan, they're slowing it down snales. 251 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: Pace, matt Do you like that game or do you 252 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: like my other option? 253 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: Here? 254 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: You masked Lowell hosting Maine. Spread's only thirteen for Kim Palm, 255 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: which is a bit lower than blowout City section usually is. 256 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: But boy, this loll team's a juggernaut. I could see 257 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: him doing it. 258 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: I could two be main just beat or sorry they 259 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: just lost to Harvard overtime. It Main's been better this 260 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: year like that. It's not your typical Main. I think 261 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: it's the talent's been upgraded a little bit. You can 262 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: see a little maybe having a snooze or of the 263 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: in the conference opener. I think fort Wayne's the best 264 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: one of the bunch. 265 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 2: But not going to bet this. 266 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: I like betting bad teams. I don't bet against bad teams. 267 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: Not a problem with yeah it. Maine's actually been kind 268 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: of feisty and Lowell almost dropped on the Nji he 269 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: I have a sneaking suspicion role is going to be 270 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,359 Speaker 2: able to produce esque in that they are way inflated, 271 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: like way higher than the program's ever been, and in 272 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: the league play against teams that are relatively familiar with them. 273 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: I think they're going to struggle to just totally dominate 274 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 2: and thrash teams the way they've been doing. I like 275 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: the theory. 276 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: Also Friday look Ahead spot, Matt, Maybe this one tickles 277 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: your fancy because you are a mac boy at heart. 278 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: Toledo minus sixteen hosting Western Michigan. 279 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: Oh this tickles me, I'll tell you that much. 280 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jim, you're going to take that. 281 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Toledo loves to kill bad teams.

I'm all 283 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: about the rocket ships, probably first half and full game. 284 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: I think I don't like rocket ships defensively enough to 285 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: love them as a favorite this year in the MAC, 286 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: like I think I missed that Moe this year.

Cryer 335 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: apparently did clear concussion protocol should be back for this game. 336 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 3: Do the Bears bounce back at home against TCU? 337 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know, I have some concerns about Baylor. 338 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: I just thought coming in that backcourt would flow smoothly 339 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: and they'd have a whole bunch of creators off the 340 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: bounce and the pick and roll, and teams would really 341 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: struggle to guard them. But they've had problems like at 342 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: Iowa State, a team that was missing Jazz Coonts. I 343 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: know there was no Crier, but can't George hasn't been 344 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: the like surefire All American that we thought. And TCU's 345 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: got great perimeter defenders with Miles and baw and even 346 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: shot at Wells has been solid in that regard. Mike 347 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: ah peb can can probably lock up cantate George, even 348 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: though he's a little bit bigger. I think that's going 349 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: to be a dog fight. I would lean towards TCU Matt. 350 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: Since those first three games of the year where TCU 351 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: struggled and buy games, they've been like a top ten, 352 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: top six ish team. I'm very big on the horn 353 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: Frogs as I was in the preseason, and I'm glad 354 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: that's starting to come to fruition. I would I would 355 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 2: lean towards TCU here. 356 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: I would lean towards TCU as well. I just yeah, 357 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: Baylor's ball security has been an issue. Like the guards 358 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: have talent and cachet, and I kind of have the 359 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: makeup of what you wanted to if we're all like 360 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: salving or this backcourt preseason, But I think the injuries 361 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: and the lack of continuity is kind of disrupted that flow. 362 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: And honestly, they missed a kinjo I kind of thought 363 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: I'd never say that, but he was kind of a 364 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: steadying presence in the back court and they don't really 365 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: have that same rhythm without him, I mean worth doing. 366 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: And they were up early on Iowa State or deep 367 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: into that first half, and then shots start didn't fall 368 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: and Iowa State was hot, still lost by fifteen. But 369 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that effort like was awful by Bail. 370 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: I think Baylor as still being good, just not as 371 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: consistently dominant as the prior versions we've seen in years past. 372 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, the not true point guard I think matters. Like 373 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: last year when Flagler to take over and a kin 374 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 2: Joe was out, it looked noticeably worse and I probably 375 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: was too blind to that in the preseason. Yeah, I 376 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: wish I had taken that more into account. 377 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,239 Speaker 3: Just history notes real quick. Baylor is not lost at 378 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: home to TCU since twenty eighteen. TCU did beat them 379 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: at their place in nineteen and twenty, but not since then, 380 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: so maybe a little bit of history history note there 381 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 3: to consider TVD Thursday, we have two Big Ten games 382 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: to watch. Perdue goes to Ohio State, then no longer 383 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: number one boiler Makers, although I guess they will be 384 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 3: in the poll still as it has not changed yet. 385 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: They are off that upset loss to Rutgers Ohio States. 386 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 3: I'm beaten still in the Big Ten. And then we 387 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: have Maryland going to you guessed it, Rutgers minus six 388 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 3: per kimpom. The Knights, looking to build off a major win, 389 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: can get to three and one in the Big Ten, 390 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: and the Terps or off a blowout loss, have stumbled 391 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 3: lately and blow out of all blowouts that well out 392 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: to Rechigan. Nikes Michigan off that Central Michigan loss killing 393 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 3: the Turps. Terps are two and four over the last six. 394 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 3: A little bit of a dry spell, Matt either game 395 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: you have a lien in either one of them. 396 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: No Lean at all. I know how to say Purdue. 397 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: I'll be on Marri. I actually might be a Maryland 398 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: money line. Yeah, here at again, I'm at the rack. Yeah, 399 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: they're act coming off that perdue win like Maryland's. Obviously, 400 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: their losses have been egregious, but I think I've said 401 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: this before, They've all come in tough spots against an 402 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: opponent that was like, oh, I'm locked in here. The 403 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: UCLA game, the Michigan game, obviously, and we both agree 404 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: that the upside of both UCLA and Michigan are both 405 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: like in the top five, top ten. Michigan's been nowhere 406 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: near that consistently wise, but Maryland got the absolute best 407 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: punch of Michigan and UCLA debatably that you'll see all season. 408 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: Still think they're good. I know we have to maybe 409 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: re examine the first three weeks of the year. They 410 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: looked awesome, but I think that was legit enough for 411 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: me to buy them, especially a plus six. That's a 412 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: good price. Yeah, if he's around plus six. I'm just 413 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm starting to get more and more of a believer 414 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: in Rutgers. The defense is just always going to be there. 415 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: They're huge, they're rangey on the wing. 416 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 2: Omori is such a beast inside, like their their wing 417 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: core is just army of like six six two and 418 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: twenty pound guys. They can throw so many at you, 419 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: and that might be a little bit of a problem 420 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 2: for Maryland, who's a little thinner. Obviously, jamiir Young is smaller. 421 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: He's gonna have mulkay he draped on him. I think 422 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: that could be kind of an issue. Maybe even throw 423 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 2: McConnell on him and just really try to cut off 424 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: the head of the snake there. So I'm not as 425 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: sold on Maryland, although the number might be intriguing if 426 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 2: it is six. I'm kind of feeling Ohio State, though 427 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: Purdue backed up there last year when they lost to 428 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: Rutgers as the number one team in the country. They 429 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: then needed overtime to be NC State on a neutral 430 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: and let's remember that was a terrible NC State team, 431 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 2: like awful defensively, couldn't stop anyone, and Purdue barely skated 432 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: by that one. Now that have to go on the 433 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: road following that loss, I think there's still gonna be 434 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of nerves being number one in the country. 435 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure Ohio State's going to be highly motivated still 436 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: seeing that number next to him, and I think we've 437 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: just been a little too low on the Buckeyes this year. 438 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: I've been very impressed by their offense, and Olton's probably 439 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: going to have a great game plan. I'll set up 440 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: for that one. So I'm going to potentially be backing 441 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: the buck Eyes and riding that zero to seven ats 442 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: streak that Purdue is on. 443 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm winning buck guys as well, and I do 444 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: love Purdue. But yeah, Ohio State's definitely underrated. Number two 445 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: offense in the country right now. 446 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: It's no joke. 447 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: They can score their freshmen or awesome said Key's a 448 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 3: beast inside TVD. If he does that well against Zach Edie, 449 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 3: we'll see. That's always a challenge for anybody. Of course, 450 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 3: I'm not brave like Matt. I can't fade Rutgers the rack. 451 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: You won't catch me doing it. 452 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: But we'll see the big. 453 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 454 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: Maybe what I mean if if you're given four and 455 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: a half for home, like I think you should, and 456 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: I think Rutgers is a little bit better team, maybe 457 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: it's not that big. Yeah. 458 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: Jamy r Young worries man. Maybe he's not as good 459 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: as we thought he was, might only be good against 460 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: look at his splits against good teams. I'm me were 461 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: I kind of missed that too. All right, next section. Sorry, 462 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: next section. 463 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 3: It is mid major game of the week. I got 464 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: two picked out here. Not a ton of great matchups, 465 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 3: I'll be honest. Drake at Southern Illinois in the Missouri 466 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: Valley number two and number three per km pom in 467 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 3: the Valley. Although Drake is just two and two in 468 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 3: actual valley play, Southern Illinois is three and one. Drake 469 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: is off a tough loss to Missouri State. I watched 470 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: that entire game. It was not pretty. They missed a 471 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 3: lot of shots. This game is gonna be a tough 472 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 3: defensive battle. Jim, you lean in one way. 473 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: Or the other. Year. Well, first of all, I was 474 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: just surprised that these were two and three in the Valley. 475 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: I was like, wait, yeah, who's one? What's going on? 476 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 2: Who's one? 477 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: Oh? 478 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Bradley is a freaking pretty juggernaut on the defensive 479 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: end and have ascended to the number one team in 480 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: the conference per per ken PUM. I link towards Southern Illinois. 481 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 2: I think at home it's going to be a really 482 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: tough environment for them. They are, to me, the better 483 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: defensive team. I know Drake is solid on that end, 484 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: but I just haven't really been totally impressed by Drake. 485 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if we just projected improvement on a 486 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: core that's really a lot of the same guys. They've 487 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 2: been banged up a lot, and maybe the upside was 488 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: with Devrees, but then that takes away touches from Penn 489 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: and from some the other guys that we've been impressed 490 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: with in the past. And SIU, man, I feel like 491 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 2: they're they're more on a mission, Matthew and they they 492 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: have struggled against Drake in the past, and now they've 493 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: got them coming to their place. I might be a 494 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: Saluki there as a very very short home favorite. 495 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind only in the other way. I don't 496 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: really have a great reason. I thought Drake was a 497 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: better team than Missouri State. Game just like such an 498 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: ugly overall game that they just happened to come up 499 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: from the wrong side of. I'm not a huge believer 500 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: in SIU offensively. Their d is obviously legit, but I 501 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: think they can go through massive scoring drownds. I just 502 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: think Drake's the overall more balanced team despite the head scratching, 503 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, loss in Missouri State there, I think they're good. 504 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: I lit lean Drake, Missouri team Drake. 505 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: I forgot to mention Shark. I said they'd struggled with him. 506 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 2: Last year. Southern Illinois lost sixty to fifty nine at 507 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: home to Drake, sixty two to sixty at Drake by two, 508 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: and then sixty five to fifty two in the tournament. 509 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: A little more decisive, but they were right there last year. 510 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Drake could not score against the Suria State darn 511 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: Old Brody can't jump higher than maybe inch off the ground. 512 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: It's actually pretty concerning when you're six' ten and you 513 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: can't get over the rim to shoot the. Ball he 514 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 3: was blocked a good eight times trying to get the 515 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: ball back. Up it was pretty frustrating to watch as a. Drakebacker, 516 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: thursday we talked about Uab foid In. Atlantic that is 517 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 3: by far the best game on the slate for the 518 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: mid major. Realm So i'm gonna cheat a little bit 519 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: And i'm gonna call the wcc A Trueman. Major And 520 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: i'm gonna Say gonzaga At San francisco is Our thursday 521 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: game of the. 522 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: Week. 523 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: Here we haven't talked about The zags in a. While 524 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: they're still, good they're still, around And San francisco has 525 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 3: hung with him in the past Under Todd. Golden can 526 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 3: they hang with them again under a new, regime or 527 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 3: Is gonzaga just gonna wipe the flour with? Them? 528 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: Matt your, Thoughts, YEAH i GOT i think your loft 529 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: is going to use the same blueprint That golden used 530 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: Against nzaga in prior. Years now two different. TEAMS i, 531 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: mean a ton of turnover on the don side of the, 532 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: ball so it's hard to really just roll out the 533 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: exact same blueprint that'll. Work BUT i think they have 534 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: a good beat On gonzaga. Offense they know how to stop. 535 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: It they typically eliminate. Transition there's been, laps isn't THAT 536 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: i think in some matchups that's where they've gotten letting 537 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: the zagsit like that ten to two twelve two. Run 538 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: it just kills. Him but if they can kind of get, 539 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: out come, out hit shots, early kill the, confidence get 540 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: The War memorial crowd there on their, FEET i think 541 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: they actually can keep this one close the whole. 542 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: LOT i Think kenzaga smokes. Them i'm gonna go the other. 543 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: Way this feels like the twenty twenty One San francisco 544 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: team that really didn't have. Size they're Playing Zame meeks 545 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: at center a lot and he is a shooter like 546 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: he is not a banger. Inside and that twenty twenty 547 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: One San francisco team was solid top one Hundred kenton, 548 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: team just like this. Year and they lost by thirty 549 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: nine at home To, gonzaga and that was a much 550 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: Better gonzaga, team like almost generational. Offensively BUT i think 551 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: we could see them win by double digits with a 552 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 2: Massive Drew timmy game and overhelp because he's, dominating and 553 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 2: then that opens up the shooters AND Nbc gonzaga kind 554 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: of REASCENDING kai back up like they're not in the 555 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: kenpoun top ten right, now AND i think they're gonna 556 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: find their way in. 557 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: THERE i think they will. TOO i lean their way as. 558 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 3: Well we'll see what the actual spread comes out. TO 559 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: i still think this team is pretty darn good and 560 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 3: a title. Contender we'll see how they do IN wcc. 561 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: Play Trash Man pick of The, Week. 562 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: The Trash man pick of The.

Bad this is the three 573 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seventh best offense against the three hundred 574 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: and thirty third best. OFFENSE lu is still winless AGAINST 575 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 3: d one.

Competent maybe competent might be too strong. 582 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: Back Against Sacred heart and they did not. 583 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: Cover, yeah, yeah lost by eighteen at home to a 584 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: team that. Struggled but, yeah laying ten WITH ccsu feels. 585 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 2: WRONG i just generally have a feeling we're going to 586 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: see a lot OF nec and the Trash man pick 587 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 2: of the.

HERE i think there's one team barely 593 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: inside the top three. Hundred this is like a surefire 594 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 2: playing game in THE ncaa, tournament no matter, what no 595 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: matter who.

Meacs like if your champion is going to 622 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: be two hundred ninetieth in the league or in the, 623 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: country you're gonna you're automatically a thirty five point underdog 624 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 2: in the first round against if you if you get, 625 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: in if you win your playing game and get to 626 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: the the sixteen versus one, game it's. 627 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 3: Gross we move On spotlight of The. Week we're looking 628 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: at over and under. Teams are they? Sustainable why are 629 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: they this? Way why are you the way that you 630 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: are looking at overs and looking at? Unders best records 631 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 3: for overs is wh we're going to. Start toledo is. 632 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: The bell of the. 633 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: Ball when it comes to the over teams in the, 634 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 3: country they're eleven and, one a ten point cover. Margin 635 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 3: why is? This they play with great, pace they are 636 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 3: twenty second in the country in, offense and they are 637 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty eighth on. Defense that's the trifecta right. 638 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: There seems pretty sustainable to. Me we'll see if the 639 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 3: market can catch. UP uab is eleven and two to the. 640 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: Over this is by far the Fastest Andy kennedy has 641 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: played AT uab and they have a great. Offense navy 642 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 3: is eleven and. Two good, offense, yes good, offense poor, 643 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 3: defense very very very efficiency. Driven it's the best offense 644 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 3: of the ed To Cellis. Era it's the second worst 645 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: defense under him as well. Well so kind of a 646 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: perfect storm going on With navy. 647 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: There AND i don't get. It. KAI i talked to, 648 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: him AND i talked to him in the preseason and he's, Like, 649 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: yeah all our guys are on ships and. Submarines they 650 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: don't get to shoot in the off. Season how are they? 651 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: Efficient and usually defense is like what's really controllable for? 652 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: Them with the changing. Schemes this is stunning to. ME 653 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: i can't Believe navy is like a home run over. 654 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: Team it's seven point Cover margers as. Well and finally 655 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 3: last one here in this, section high point ten and 656 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 3: two to the. Over this one's snuck by me the 657 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: main driver. Here they're ninth in offensive possession length and 658 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 3: ninth and overall. Tempo the program's never been near that 659 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: from a tempo. Perspective it's taking the market by, surprise 660 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 3: taking me by. Surprise thus they are ten and two 661 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: to the. Over, fellas do you expect all four of 662 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 3: these teams to continue the way they're. Going it feels 663 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 3: Like navy would be the team that would go. Down 664 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: says it is efficiency, driven but who, Knows, Jim. 665 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah Maybe i'll probably be hoping to catch a falling 666 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: under knife at some point with, them but maybe that's. 667 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 2: Unlin we'll see a high. POINT i totally. Buy they 668 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: just have like a stable of athletes and they have unleashed, 669 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: them let them run up and, down and some of 670 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: those Big south teams can be somewhat paced. TAKERS i 671 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: think they just went way over With Gardner, webb and 672 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: that's a team that is often an, undersquad but not 673 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: when they're facing high. Point SO i kind of buy 674 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: all These Matt. Toledo at some point the numbers are 675 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: going to get so ridiculous that you can't bet. Overs 676 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: but maybe that's impossible. There it's like one hundred and 677 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 2: sixty on The tuesday we're. Recording that's their total with Ball. 678 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 2: STATE i mean we could see a one hundred and 679 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: seventy total with them in the. 680 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: League, Yeah TOLEDO i think will stabilize when they Get cochran. 681 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: Back he's just so important. Defensively that's been a big 682 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: reason why they've gone over while their defense has been so. 683 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: TERRIBLE i think the better and more sustainable overplays if 684 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: you want to keep riding the, Wave kyra the cover margin. 685 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: Teams you have cover. 686 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: Margin, Teams Good, Segway matthew and these are the top 687 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: teams that are basically beating the total right by how 688 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 3: bad are you beating the total equals cover. Margin probably 689 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: more sustainable long one long run than just. Record Houston 690 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 3: christian is number one in the. Country though there are 691 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: eight and three to the, over they're plus fourteen cover 692 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: margin to the. Over these guys have played a couple overtime, 693 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: games which might be skewing in a, bit but it 694 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: seems Like Houston christian's always playing in the nineties with 695 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: Opponents Armazoo Tigers gym plus thirteen point six cover. Margin 696 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: we know they don't play a lot of. Defense they certainly, 697 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 3: run and they've been shooting really well this. Year Southern 698 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 3: utah plus twelve point six cover, margin those seven and 699 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 3: three on the, over and Finally San diego is eleven 700 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: and three to the over and twelve point two cover. 701 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: Margin The terreros are are a slam dunkover team right. 702 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: Now Surprises jim any of those. 703 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: You know who doesn't surprise me As Houston. CHRISTIAN i 704 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: bet a couple unders against them early and they got 705 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: blown out of the. Water as the cover margin here, 706 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: INDICATES i just there's like no way to or it's 707 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: tough to properly capture how poor they are. Defensively teams 708 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: are making six sixty five percent of their two pointers against, 709 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: them which is three and a half percent worse than 710 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: anyone else in the. Country the best two point offense 711 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: in the country Is arizona at sixty one point six, 712 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 2: percent and so the team Playing Houston christian is at sixty. 713 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 2: Five that tells you how bad it. Is very sustainable 714 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: for them and it doesn't take. Long they have the shortest. 715 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: Possession like, defensively you just get a layup. Immediately that's 716 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: their whole. Style it's like A grenelle THE d three 717 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: team that just lets you run up and. Down that's 718 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 2: what they. 719 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: Are, yeah, Terrible, Kyle. ABSOLUTELY i think the most interesting 720 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: one here Is San, diego The. Tariro's lavin's talked about 721 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: how horrible they've been. Defensively they basically played one good 722 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: defensive game all, year that's when they blew. OUT i 723 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: don't care who they blew out, then but just a 724 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: team that doesn't really feel interested in playing. DEFENSE i 725 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: Think lavin's very much and like a just trying to 726 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: build AN mba model of a program with like ultra 727 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: focus on offense and then like defense is sort of 728 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: just to WHATEVER i ever. Thought SO i think that. 729 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 3: Continues, Actually, Yeah San diego one of the biggest lopsided. 730 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 3: Teams fifty seventh in, offense three hundredth in. Defense that's 731 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 3: a hundredth that's a lopsided squad right. 732 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 2: There they pack twelve athletes and they're three hundredth on. 733 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: Defense what are you? Doing not? 734 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 3: Great steve Eleven just of, note other power teams that 735 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: are over teams to watch if you're into that sort of. 736 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 3: Thing xavier eleven three and one to the, Over West 737 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 3: virginia ten and four to the. Over those are your 738 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 3: top two power teams in that. Realm we shift now 739 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 3: to the under to close out the, podcast starting with best. 740 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 3: Records got four teams, Here merrimack one in thirteen to the. 741 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 3: Under oh my, god, wow minus seven cover, margin second 742 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 3: worst offense in the, country a top one fifty, defense 743 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 3: and a slow pace that equals. Unders and, Boy merrimack's 744 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 3: been a. JUGGERNAUT i WISH i would have predicted that 745 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 3: one to start the year be Rich nebraska two eleven 746 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 3: and one to the, under minus eight cover. Margin hoiber 747 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 3: has slammed the brakes on that team's tempo and they 748 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 3: also have a top forty, defense so doing it a 749 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 3: little bit from the efficiency lens as. Well Miss state 750 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: is two and eleven to the under with a ten 751 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 3: point cover. Margin they have the six best defense in 752 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 3: the country and one hundred and fortieth best offense that 753 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 3: is efficiency. Driven and, Finally Fresno state too and ten 754 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 3: to the, under though their cover margin is a bit, 755 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 3: low just minus four and a half or four and a, 756 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: half depending how you want to look at. 757 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 2: That is it? 758 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 3: Competition they have forced the second longest possessions in the, 759 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 3: country could be the teams they're, Playing but they do 760 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 3: have a top eighty defense and a two hundred and 761 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 3: fiftieth ranked, offense so the efficiency is not doing them 762 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 3: any favors as. Well, jim who sustains their? Understreak who remedies? 763 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: It what are your? THOUGHTS i Think nebraska is going 764 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: to stay under for a little. While the market's definitely 765 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 2: catching on with, them but it's just like a totally 766 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 2: different team Blueprint matt you talked about in the. Preseason 767 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 2: they finally brought in some real defenders Like Jowan gary 768 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 2: is a good, Defender Derek walker can. Defend they're playing 769 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 2: a six to, seven two hundred pound point guard In Sam. 770 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: Grizel North Dakota state was a big like tilted to 771 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 2: defense team last year when he was their point. Guard 772 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense to. Me Maybe merrimack's 773 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: offense recovers a little bit like can it be this 774 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 2: bad all? Year now That Jordan miner's, back potentially will 775 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 2: see he actually helps their defense, too, Though so that's 776 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 2: somewhat net. Neutral the other Two Mississippi state And Presno 777 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: state bad, bad bad offenses and really good, defenses like 778 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough to find overs for. Them, YEAH 779 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 2: i never. 780 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: Asking i'm actually zero and two betting, unders which is really. 781 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: Maddening SO i bet the only two. LOSSES i just 782 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: looked in, defense so fun stuff. There, yeah and they 783 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: brought in a vandomel who's been awesome defense but like 784 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: legit defender FROM mesm, too so that all makes. Sense 785 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: And hoiberg is like put up or shut up, year 786 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: the whole run up and DOWN nba type stuff, like, 787 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: okay it was cute for three, years it lost, badly 788 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: so he made the right. ADJUSTMENTS i think the other 789 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: three are just two obvious this, point Like Marrimack Misissippi State. 790 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: PRESIDENT i don't know if the runways there. Anymore maybe it. 791 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: Is total streaks can last a lot longer than side, 792 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: streaks so don't be afraid To this is my, issues 793 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: LIKE i missed the boats like. That with totals you 794 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: can keep riding it for a lot. 795 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 2: LONGER i bet At fresno over, today SO i don't 796 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 2: feel wonderful. 797 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 3: That good luck cover margin wise for under, Teams Kent 798 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 3: state has the top cover margin as far as the unders. 799 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 3: Go they played a really ugly game With houston earlier 800 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 3: in the year that went way. 801 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 2: Under that's a peak. 802 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 3: Fest they're two and nine to the under ten point 803 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 3: seven cover, margin and As jim mentioned on our handy 804 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 3: to the, outline they do Play. Toledo, eventually something's got 805 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 3: to give here with the with the total will be 806 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: interesting to see what they hang that. At northwestern and 807 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 3: The Big ten is three and ten to the under 808 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 3: with a minus ten and a half cover. Margin that 809 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me at. All that team cannot score and 810 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 3: they play, defense And, JIM i remember The auburn game 811 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 3: they've played in the forties. 812 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 2: Before, yeah that feels like adjacent To.
