Speaker 3: Spreading in the corn ten seconds of maining.

00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 4: So just go show under the basket, Under the basket,

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 4: it's the truth for the wind God pick go abarracle, I.

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 5: Just chuck the water. Hit that one from the parking lot.

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: What's up the general nation? Welcome to the Big Bets

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: on Campus Podcast presented by Bett MGM. This is the

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: National Championship College Basketball betting preview. I'm stucky. In joining

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: me for today's episode are Mike Calabreese and Anthony Dubundo.

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: We will recap the Final four tournament in general, and

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: then just talk briefly about the game and maybe some

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: props that we're targeting. We'll also have a live show

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow afternoon to make sure you check that out as well.

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: I will say we have a potential for a really

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: good final, which I hope we get because in my opinion,

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: this has been ultimately a pretty boring tournament. It's you know,

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: we got all the chalk early, not a lot of upsets,

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: not a lot of buzzer beats either, like not a

20
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: lot of thrilling games set up for Hey, we're gonna

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: get a great Sweet sixteen e Leite eight Final four

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: didn't really work out that way. I think the Jamal

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: shed injury, which I talked about a lot, really hurt.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Like Purdue Houston would have been awesome. I think instead

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: we had like you know, DJ Burns like jogging down

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: the court for half the game trying to keep up

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: with Purdue, and then the juggernaut that is Yukon. This

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: team just continues to find ways to cover numbers, no

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: matter if the circumstance. They just have so many different

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: ways that they can beat you. But here we are,

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: with the number one and number two overall teams in Kenpom.

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: This will only mark the tenth time we've seen two

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: number one seeds face off in the National Title. Most

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of them have been close, with the exception of the

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: last one we saw between Gonzaga and Baylor when Baylor

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: won that game by sixteen. Yukon looking to become the

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: first back to back national title winners since Florida did it,

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: and the first ever to do it by going twelve

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: and now against the spread. All twelve wins I believe

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: would be by thirteen or more points, which is pretty crazy.

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: But let's before we get to the national title game.

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: We let's just get your quick thoughts on what you

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: saw in the final four. I mean, look, obviously we

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: know Yukon's dominance. The craziest thing to me, twenty seven

45
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: and six against the spread since two thousand and nine,

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just stunning. Whenever Yukon gets in the tournament,

47
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. But Anthony, I'll go to you, what

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: was your takeaway from the final four? And by the way,

49
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll have you guys both think about before we get

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: to the game. I'll ask you your favorite moment of

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the tournament in a bit, but something you can ponder over.

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: But ant think what were your thoughts in the final four?

53
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think the kind of gets into

54
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: the tournament as a whole when you think about it.

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: I was at a charity event last night with like

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: one hundred people. Made sure we had a screen, and

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: I was kind of like the guy at the event

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: who like kept going to watch the game over by

59
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: the bar, and people kept coming up to me, not

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: to talk about men's but to talk about the women's game,

61
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: which I thought was really interesting in that it was

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: probably like out numbered five to one in interest in

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: the women's game versus the men's this year, and look,

64
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: you know, credit to Caitlin Clark in South Carolina, grats

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: them incredible. I think it kind of speaks to how

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: weird this tournament has felt in a lot of ways,

67
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: because yes, there weren't a lot of incredibly compelling games.

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: We got the Final four where we had these three

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 4: bigs with Burns eighty and klingon, and it does feel

70
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: like we need a big final to save the tournament.

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: Because I agree when you think about like the most

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: memorable moment, I had one that immediately came to mind.

73
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: I don't really need to think about it because it

74
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: happened at the same time and it was Auburn and

75
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: Yale at the final minute, at the same time as

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: kJ Simpsons buzzer beater.

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: For Coloradada, Colorada, Florida. That's mine. That was incredible games.

78
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: They were simultaneous, they were in the same couple of minutes.

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: Those two games ending was probably the.

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: The highlight of the entire tournament for me, because from

81
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen on, you know, Perdue Tennessee was a

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: good game. But other than that, there's not one moment,

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: you know, like DJ Burn's going crazy on Duke was

84
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: awesome from like a like a as a Duke hater perspective,

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: But other than that, like, where was the enjoyment out

86
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: of it?

87
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was close in the final minute.

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 4: Or two, right, Well, it was just cool to see

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: you know, Burn's cook like that. But yeah, I mean,

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: the fact that the biggest story of the tournament is

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: more likely to play in the NFL than the NBA

92
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 4: is probably not great for the memorability of this tournament.

93
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: But again, a great final could save everything.

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I it just didn't. It felt like one of

95
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: the least high final fours men's final fours in a while.

96
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Even myself, I wasn't even that excited. Like I figured

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: Yukon was gonna win. I thought Purdue was gonna blow

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: out NC State. I mean, we had two of the

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: biggest spreads ever, which is very disappointing in a game,

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: in a tournament where we didn't have a lot of

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: upsets earlier than we have in the seeding air the

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: highest combined spreads in the final four. But now we

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: get and I guess it's kind of fitting. I talked

104
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: about all leading up to the tournament, how we don't

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: have there hasn't been many ones and twos play each other.

106
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: Now we're got a couple one verse twos, and we

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: have two ones that are left standing before we get

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: to the game. Calbary's where your takeaways of the final four?

109
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 6: Well, I agree with both of your sentiments that we

110
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 6: need a classic title game to save this situation in

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: terms of the whole tournament. But at least according to

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 6: Ken Palm, this is the second highest you know sum

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 6: between the two teams in terms of their adjusted efficiency

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 6: coming into the title game in the last twenty two years.

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: The only one that was higher was Baylor against Gonzaga.

116
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: So I think certainly there's.

117
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: The potential for this to be a heavyweight bout and

118
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 6: go back and forth. And let's keep in mind, yes,

119
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 6: Yukon has won and covered in every single game in

120
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 6: the last two tournaments. They became the first team to

121
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 6: do that in ten in a row according to our

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: Evan Abrams in the seating era, so in nineteen seventy

123
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 6: nine onward. Now they're up to eleven straight in terms

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 6: of winning and covering. But Perdue has also been an

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 6: incredible team against the spread this entire year. They're eight

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: one and one against the spread when facing ranked opponents,

127
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 6: which makes them the highest win percentage against the spread

128
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 6: by any team in the last fifteen years when facing

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: at least ten ranked opponents throughout the course of the season.

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 6: So I think the high end for both of these teams.

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: We all know.

132
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: Yukon deserves their flowers in every way, shape and form,

133
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 6: going on a thirty zero run for the first time

134
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 6: for a team to go on a run for thirty

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 6: and ZHO for the first time in the last three

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 6: and a half seasons. It's been incredible what the Huskies

137
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: have done. But I think Perdue is kind of in

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 6: this wonderful position where the public is kind of viewing

139
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 6: this as a coronation for Yukon and they can actually

140
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 6: play an underdog card. Yet they have the two time

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 6: defending AP National Player of the Year, so it's it's

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 6: incredible what they've been able to accomplish. I'm really hoping

143
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 6: that they play their best game because here's my thoughts

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: on the final four.

145
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: I had a double result.

146
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 6: I had Alabama to win the first STAF and U

147
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 6: kind of win the game. Alabama couldn't played any better

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 6: on offense. It was unbelievable. They shot eight for eleven

149
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 6: from three. I'm like, perfect did they were drawing dead

150
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: in the last minute, Like that is the kind of

151
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 6: juggernaut and the kind of performance that the Huskies have

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: put together. I will say this though, and this kind

153
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: of goes into.

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: My pick for the game. I just want to tee

155
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: it up in this way.

156
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 6: Yukon is incredibly dominant, but everything that's happened, particularly last year,

157
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 6: shouldn't really have any bearing other than a historical argument.

158
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 6: You know, are they as good as six oh seven Florida?

159
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: Those are all fun conversations, but that doesn't matter. Just

160
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: looking at the last six weeks, They've won twelve games,

161
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 6: they beat Marquette twice without Kohlik, and really their best

162
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: win is against an Illinois team that if we, you know,

163
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: hit the rewind button and we go to this very

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 6: same podcast and we listen to us just dumping on

165
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 6: how bad Illinois defense was and how soft they were

166
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: at the rim, and then Bama we said much worse

167
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 6: things about their defense throughout the course of the year.

168
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 6: I think there's a chance we're overvaluing a little bit

169
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 6: what Yukon's done because they've done it so convincingly it's

170
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 6: not just that they win. They're beating the brains out everybody.

171
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 6: That's great, But have they really faced a team at

172
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 6: this caliber in the last six weeks The answers no.

173
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I could go back here and look like

174
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 6: an idiot by the time we talked.

175
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: About this game next.

176
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 6: But I think there's a good chance that Perdue keeps

177
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 6: it close. So I'll save that for the rest of

178
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 6: the conversation. But those are just my thoughts on the

179
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: final four in the NC State.

180
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: It was just a snoozer.

181
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm glad you.

182
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Could say something about Perdue, though. Who Perdue play Tennessee? Yes,

183
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Calibers hates Tennessee, says that they're trash, and Barnes is trash,

184
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: so you got to pick one is Tennessee.

185
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that's why I'm saying.

186
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: I have the sample size of ten rank games throughout

187
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 6: the course of the year against ranked opponents, going eight

188
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 6: to one and one against the spread is really impressive.

189
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: Do I think that the wrong team is favorite here?

190
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 6: Absolutely not. I think the number is just about right.

191
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 6: I think yu Kon deserves it. I think they should

192
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 6: be in a position they should win this game seven

193
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 6: out of ten times but I think the public narrative

194
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 6: is like, oh, this is a FATA company, of course

195
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: the Huskies are going to run away with this.

196
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: I'm not in that camp.

197
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: My favorite narrative in all of college sports is like,

198
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: who have they actually beat?

199
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: And then you start picking apart the schedule.

200
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: You're like, well, you know this team, they beat them,

201
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: but their defense wasn't that good.

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: And then a litmit they beat them.

203
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: Because I actually did this before the Final four, because

204
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: I felt the same thing about last year when we

205
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: talked about yukon the run, they ended up having versus

206
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: the run they could have had. They could have played Cans,

207
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: but they got Arkansas, They got a Miami team that

208
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: ran better better than God to get to the final four.

209
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: They got a very limited offensive team in San Diego

210
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: State in the final so it felt like, yes, they

211
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: dominated everybody in that run. Good for them, but it

212
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: opened up a lot, like they didn't have to play

213
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: a lot of these top five to six teams that

214
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: we thought coming into the tournament. This year's kind of

215
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: broken similarly, where you know, Auburn gets jumped early, they

216
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: get Illinois, but again, these games haven't really been close.

217
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: It's not like they're like squeaking by these teams.

218
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: Right.

219
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: So the here's the thing for me, Yukon last year,

220
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 4: I know it's a different team, but you kind started undefeated.

221
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: They went to conference play last year undefeated, and they

222
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: took some early Big East losses. They struggled through the

223
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: Big East, but then when it came to stepping out

224
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: of the Big East again, complete juggernaut again. And this

225
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 4: year they have one loss in the non con at Kansas,

226
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: when Kansas was closer to full strength, Castle didn't play

227
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: right true road game. So they've had one loss out

228
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: of conference in two years now, and that for me,

229
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: you can't spend a schedule argument on that anymore.

230
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Like it's just it is what it is now.

231
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would argue that Perdue probably benefit of

232
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the most out of any team in this tournament by

233
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: not at by not having to face Houston in the

234
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: final four. We said, all your there's three clear powerhouses Houston, Purdue,

235
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: and Yukon, And you know, because Shed gets hurt, Perdue

236
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: gets to face and a Tina finished under five hundred

237
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: in the ACC in the final.

238
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 6: And it wasn't just Shed either, like they got decimated

239
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 6: by injuries like Houston at full strength. I think it

240
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 6: absolutely beat Yukon at full strength, and I think they

241
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: would have beaten Purdue.

242
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: But it was just unfortunate. You know, throughout the course.

243
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 6: Of the year, nobody's deep enough to be able to

244
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 6: handle those kind of injuries, and the shed one was,

245
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 6: you know, the final straw. But in general, I agree

246
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: with the sentiment that Purdue was also fortunate. That being said,

247
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 6: they still beat the Zags convincingly. They beat Tennessee like

248
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: it's not a total cake walk to the title game.

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a code too. Yeah. Tennessee was one

Speaker 1: a solid product. I can co sign that for sure. Yeah,

279
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: they're both undefeated against the spread in the tournament. Both

280
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: deserve to be here. The spread is let's see where

281
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: it's sitting at now. It's high, it's now. I mean

282
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: it's something I think I saw seven about ten minutes ago. Yeah,

283
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: you can get June little seven minus one fifteen out

284
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: there on Purdue sitting I will say consensus Connecticut six

285
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite total one forty six, and

286
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: that's coming down to forty five and a half open

287
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: much higher, which I thought it was a bit too high.

288
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: I make this like four and a half and so

289
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: there's definitely a tax on Yukon right now. And I

290
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: don't like because they do have They remind me sort

291
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen LSU, who just would cover no matter what,

292
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and eventually when they got when they got to the

293
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: national title, because my numbers could never catch up to them,

294
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: so I faded them a lunch and lost. They got

295
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: to the national title, I just threw my hands out

296
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: and said, I'm back in this team.

297
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 6: How are you feeling when they were down ten nothing

298
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 6: in the title game, You're like, of course, this is

299
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 6: the moment, and then they just went god mode.

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, of course, I jump on now,

301
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: but then they ended up covering, So I can't do

302
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: that here. But I would think about, you know, when

303
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: I look at this game, I would think about potentially

304
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: getting in on Purdue first half, and especially if we

305
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: get like a four, because we've seen Yukon have some

306
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: slow starts and what I think. You know that obviously

307
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: the battle the bigs in this game is going to

308
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: be massive. You have Clinging, you have Edie going up

309
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: against each other, and I think that there's a really

310
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: good chance how much beat shouldn't say really good, but

311
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: a much better chance that Clinging gets in foul trouble

312
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: early than Edie, and Purdue going up against Yukon knows

313
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: that they can't really afford to sit Edie for a

314
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: long stretch, whereas we've seen heurly multiple times, like if

315
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: Clinging gets in foul trouble in the first half, like

316
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: whole sit extended minutes, and they have better front court death,

317
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: So you know, I could see Clinging going one on one,

318
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: uh with defensively against Edie picking up one, you know,

319
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: one foul in the first couple minutes, another with like

320
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: thirteen to go, and he sits for like seven to

321
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: eight minutes, and you know, that could open up the

322
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: door for Edie to have some easy paths to offense.

323
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: I do think eventually Connecticut's guards, like just the perimeter

324
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: advantage that they have, Like, what do you do with

325
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Lawyer in this game? Like defensively, what do you what

326
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: do you do with Lawyer? I don't know. I think

327
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: that the the versatility and the athletic advantage that Connecticut

328
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: will have on the outside will just be too much,

329
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: and then the bigs will kind of neutralize each other,

330
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: is how I see it playing out. But I think

331
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: because of that foul trouble and like just that the

332
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: I could see Clinging sitting for extended minutes in the

333
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: first time, but can't really see that with Edie. And

334
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: we've seen Yukon just be slow and then eventually they

335
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: just they just hit you with these runs in the

336
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: second half and and to cover these games, so I

337
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: might look at perdue first half, but two props that

338
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: I like, I'm going to go Clinging under points he's

339
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: sitting at like fourteen and a half. It's scary. But

340
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: if you look at like similar defenses that they've played,

341
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I expect this game to be slower paced more than

342
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: the half court. Like when they played kock Renner with

343
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: two you know, he played them twice. I think he

344
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: had like six and twelve points. He played you know,

345
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: Kansas Gonzaga. He did go off against Eke and but

346
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: that was about it. There was I think five games

347
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: where he played like similar structured defense with a dominant

348
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: defensive big, and he didn't clear this number in four

349
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: of the five games. In those four games, the only

350
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: average about eight points per game. Bout trouble. It's kind

351
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: of my same case that I had for burns now

352
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: Clinging will have has more length, but he's just not

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: going to enjoy the same like length advantage and physicality

354
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: advantage on the low block that he normally does. Now

355
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: that he's going up against Edie, so I like him

356
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: under and then I might go with Braden Smith over

357
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: ten and a half points. I think he's cleared this

358
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: number in fifty eight to sixty percent of his games

359
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: this year. But how do you beat Yukon. You gotta

360
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: do it in the mid range. He's their most efficient

361
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: mid range shooter. Castle being on him does worry me

362
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: a bit, but he's coming off a really bad game.

363
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: I expect him the bounce back. He's probably gonna play

364
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: forty minutes here, so you're gonna have him on the

365
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: court the entire game. So I think I like Smith

366
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: over points, clinging under points, and I'm gonna be looking

367
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: maybe for perdue first half. I'm admittedly I show value

368
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: in Purdue. I just have I've been saying it. I

369
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: show him a little bit of value in Alabama at twelve.

370
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: I just don't want to get in front of this

371
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Yukon train. I tried at once with San Diego State.

372
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: We all saw all that that worked out. Anthony Kirskiger

373
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: thoughts here on this game.

374
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: Well, there was some sharp buy back late Saturday close

375
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 4: a ten ten and I was sitting there looking at

376
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: it like, man, I should just lay this, And I

377
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: laid the second half on our live show Saturday, and

378
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: I'm doing it again minus two and a half, minus twenty.

379
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 4: I love Yukon on the second half here. I agree

380
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: with your points stuck about the first halves. We have

381
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 4: seen a lot less clean in the first half I

382
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: thought than I was expecting against Alabama. There was multiple

383
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: stretches where I was like, Oh, cleaning is not in again,

384
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: cleaning is not in again? Like okay, And like you said,

385
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 4: they have the depth.

386
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: To withstand it.

387
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna change how they guard ball screens, which would

388
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: be interesting, like it is interesting when cleaning is not

389
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: on the floor. I think they're more vulnerable obviously at

390
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 4: the rim, but also offensively with just how dominant he

391
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: is on the offensive glass too. But I think the

392
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: versatility of Yukon's offense is the key that unlocks everything.

393
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: That they do.

394
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 4: Because when they have all the ball screen stuff, they

395
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 4: run and it doesn't start working, they have two options.

396
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 4: They can either go pick and roll or they can

397
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: just push transition more and they're extremely elite at both.

398
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 4: And the pick and roll rim running was what broke

399
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: Alabama for me last Saturday night because it was dunk, dunk, dunk.

400
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 4: All of a sudden it was a tie game, and

401
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: all of a sudden it was eight. That quick eight

402
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 4: to oh run I thought really broke Alabama and their

403
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 4: ability to do that on anybody at any time because

404
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 4: of their switching defenses.

405
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: You never know what to expect, and you're right about Lawyer.

406
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: He probably I mean it was interesting that Oates went

407
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: and tried to sag off and not really guard Castle

408
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: and he hit the early threes. I don't really think

409
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: you can do that with Lawyer. But also I think

410
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: Yukon is just gonna put him in hell and make

411
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 4: him run around and guard ball screens and eventually get

412
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 4: a mismatch and take advantage like it's hard to hide him,

413
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: whereas I think Smith, we saw the NC State guards

414
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 4: give ball pressure problems to him like they were up

415
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: in his grill.

416
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: He had a horrible first half. He ended the game

417
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: with five turnovers. He had three against Tennessee.

418
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 4: So we've seen his turnover numbers even take a little

419
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 4: bit of a spike as he's faced these more elite

420
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: backcourt defenses. And Castle top fifteen pick in the draft,

421
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: probably mainly because of his his athleticism and his defensive ability,

422
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: the way that they think he can guard at the

423
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: next level. And Evan Mia has a Basian performance rating metric.

424
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 4: He's top twenty defensively in the country there and it's

425
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: interesting Clinging and Edie number one and number two in

426
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 4: that metric.

427
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: So ultimately I think second.

428
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: Half Yukon is the way to look at this game.

429
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 4: I think they have the ability to pull away, and

430
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: I think Castle's length and athleticism will wear down Smith

431
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 4: and Smith. As much as posting out Eadie is the

432
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: engine of the perdue offense, Smith is. They have nobody

433
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: else who can execute that role in any way like

434
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: he can, and so if he's not effective. You saw

435
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: how bad their offense was in the first half. A

436
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 4: lot of that had to do with him just not

437
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: really being effective.

438
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: So I see the.

439
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: Point about his over points at ten and a half,

440
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: like it seems low because he has been kind of

441
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 4: bad three of the last four games. But also he's

442
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: got an NBA elite NBA prospect defending him, which has

443
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: not happened much in the Big ten this year. And

444
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: when we saw NCI States, you know, really quick guards

445
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: on him, he struggled. So I have a little more

446
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 4: hesitanty about Smith, But I like Yukon second half. Call

447
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: me square, but happy to lay it.

448
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, big square. That has been the key.

449
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: Way to go in this tournament.

450
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: I like it more than Land six and a half

451
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: for sure.

452
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: I think, I think this game is going to be

453
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: closed for a bit and then Yukon makes their run.

454
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, this tournament favorites most profitable since

455
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, favorites at eight plus twenty and

456
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: five against the spread, best ever by far, top three

457
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: seats twenty one and ten against the spread verse teams

458
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: that were seated for more best since two thousand and nine.

459
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: And then I believe public sides like based on just

460
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: percentage of bets were hit at seventy three percent in

461
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: the tournament depending on where you looked. But yeah, I mean,

462
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: I get your point that what does scare me with

463
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: with Smith going up against Castle? But you know, and

464
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: he's going to get some switches. He's not gonna be

465
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: on the whole game, and I don't think he's going

466
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: to be, you know, uber efficient. But think about purduees

467
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: what he averages, and you know, and obviously he's not

468
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: going up against as elite of defenses, and as you

469
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: pointed out, a guy like Castle every night, but most Knights,

470
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Purdue is one of the most post heavy offenses in

471
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: the country last two year's the most, so most nights,

472
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: everything they do is predicated on getting it inside to Eadie. Right,

473
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: how many times does he have his hook shots, his

474
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: easy looks When Klingon's in there, That's not going to

475
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: be the case, right, So he's not going to have

476
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: as many easy looks and he's not gonna I don't

477
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: think the volume is going to be there for Edie.

478
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: So you know then I'm like, all right, what can

479
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: lawyer deal with the physicality? So I just think the

480
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: volume for Smith has to go up, and you know,

481
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: you kind of allows you to get mid range shots.

482
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: He's their most efficient mid range shooter. I mean, I

483
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna have to go more pick and

484
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: roll less, just like post reliant offense, and Smith's gonna

485
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: have to hit shots. So I don't think he's going

486
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: to be overly efficient, but I think that his volume

487
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: will have to pick up based on the matchup. But

488
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: I definitely worry about him on Castle, and yeah, his

489
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: turnovers were definitely he was struggling to bet even with

490
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: mcconnolly get back to back back court violations. But I'll uh,

491
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: Calbury's will throw to you what he's seeing here.

492
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 6: So I'm glad that you brought up Klingons under on

493
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 6: points because the one that I'm targeting is under twenty

494
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 6: one and a half points plus rebounds. He mentioned the

495
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 6: comps when facing similar bigs so based Indiana's where Dickinson

496
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 6: from Ku Baycott and Kalk Brenner.

497
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: Twice.

498
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 6: In those five instances, he averaged eight point two points

499
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 6: and five point six rebounds.

500
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 3: So far beneath this and I think.

501
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 6: We're selling right now at the absolute peak of his value.

502
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 6: Like now they're talking about him being a top three

503
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 6: NBA draft pack, Like I think we need to pump

504
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 6: the brakes a little bit. Like the fact that he

505
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 6: dominated some of the defenses that they played in.

506
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: The last few games, I would hope that he would

507
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 3: dominate them.

508
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 6: I think it's a very different animal in terms of

509
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 6: playing against Edie, who you know, he's a historically good

510
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 6: foul drawer. According to Ken Palm, he draws over ten

511
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: fouls per game, which is tops in the country.

512
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: We know this.

513
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: What's interesting to me is if Klingon goes out, do

514
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 6: they switch to kind of that trapping style that you

515
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 6: saw NC State What did Edie have five turnovers?

516
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 3: There was multiple times when he was quickly overwhelmed.

517
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: I wonder if early and his staff looks at that

518
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 6: video and says, we don't just have to go one

519
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: v one with Klan against him every single time. We

520
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: can maybe get some extra turnovers and possessions if we're

521
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: able to vary our defense a little bit.

522
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: So that's just something to keep an eye.

523
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: You got to dig down on him. Sometimes he drops

524
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: the ball down instead of going right up and like strips.

525
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: That's like some of the most effective defense that I've

526
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: seen against CD is of the help variety. So I

527
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: do think Clean will get a lot of one on

528
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: one assignments because of his length, and you kind of say, like,

529
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: we're not going to let you know, we don't want

530
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: open threes, but they're also going to help at times.

531
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: This is they're going to help, and I think that

532
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: there could be some turnovers as far as that's concerned,

533
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: but go ahead. I'm sorry.

534
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 6: Additionally, in terms of the under on points and rebounds perdue,

535
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 6: as we know they're elite on the glass. You know,

536
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 6: their third in offensive rebounding rate in the country. They

537
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 6: collect twenty seven defensive boards per game, which is ninth

538
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 6: and when you'll get teams that were similar in the

539
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: Big East that were really good on the offensive glass,

540
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 6: like Saint John's Cleanon had ten rebounds in the two

541
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 6: games combined. So I think that's that's a positive in

542
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 6: terms of this you know, trending under For the game itself,

543
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 6: I look at you know, Purdue do what they need

544
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 6: to do in it. You know, a big venue, a

545
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 6: lot of a lot is made up of teams not

546
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 6: being able to shoot the basketball. They were right on

547
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 6: their season average against NC State. They knocked down forty

548
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 6: percent of their threes. They're going to need a similar

549
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 6: night to hang in it.

550
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: And even though I can make.

551
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: This argument for Purdue, who by the way, comes into

552
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 6: this game the last twenty seven national champions, they have

553
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 6: a higher Ken Pom adjusted efficiency rating than thirteen of them.

554
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: So in a regular year, when you.

555
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 6: Take out a juggernaut like this year's Yukon, this would

556
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 6: be all about where is Yukon or where's Purdue place?

557
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 6: If they were to win this game historically like that

558
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 6: would be the conversation. So I don't think that many

559
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 6: things have to go right for them to hang around.

560
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 6: I'm not necessarily interested in them winning the game outright.

561
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 6: What I am interested in is Yukon's margin victory one

562
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 6: to five points.

563
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: It's about seven to two in the market.

564
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: And when I look at this particular matchup, I notice

565
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 6: some things against Alabama that caught my eye, and I

566
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 6: wonder if the Purdue staff is trying to think in

567
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 6: a similar way.

568
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 3: Tanna McGrath at Action.

569
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 6: Network, he's done a phenomenal job breaking down all the

570
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: sets that Yukon runs. Like when they are running their

571
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 6: offense the way that it's intended to be run, it's

572
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 6: like a Swiss watch.

573
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 3: All the screens that all the.

574
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 6: Action that the facts of the matter is they move

575
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 6: the ball and they get people in space all over.

576
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: The court is beautiful.

577
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 6: But Bama, essentially, and I know it didn't work out,

578
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 6: they're leaving castle wide open. He knocks down some threes,

579
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 6: gets confidence, and then plays a great game. But there

580
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 6: was a stretch of that game when they started knocking

581
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 6: down some threes where they fell in love with the

582
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 6: three and they weren't running their offense, and the announcing

583
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 6: team and the color team they were like really harping

584
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 6: on it. And then obviously in the second half they

585
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 6: got more into their sets and they were ruthlessly efficient

586
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 6: as they've always been. I wonder if there's a chance

587
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 6: for the produced staff to do the same, which is, like,

588
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 6: you know, strategically leave some guys open to take some

589
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 6: threes to get them out of their sets a little bit.

590
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 6: That's just something early on that I want to keep

591
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 6: an eye on, because if it's just a pure half

592
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 6: court battle, who can execute better on offense? Who can

593
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 6: execute better on defense? And half court The answer to

594
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 6: both questions, in my opinion is Yukon.

595
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: But I really like this this margin. In terms of

596
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: it being a tight game one to five plus three forty,

597
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: you know, you can probably get it a little bit

598
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: better if you shop rounds.

599
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 6: That's where I'm going to end up putting my money

600
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 6: because I think there's a good chance in terms of

601
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: pressure as well, as I mentioned Perdue, no one's expecting

602
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 6: him to win this game, and if Braden Smith can

603
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 6: come out of his mini funk all of a sudden,

604
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 6: I think these teams are a lot closer. I would

605
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: say if I knew for a fact that he was

606
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 6: going to play his season average, if he was going

607
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: to score fourteen points and not turn the ball over

608
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 6: all that much and facilitate I would say this is

609
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 6: probably a one possession game in favor of Yukon. If

610
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 6: he plays and shoots one for ten again and has

611
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 6: turned the ball over, I think this could be another runaway,

612
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 6: but I'm going to bank on, you know, him having

613
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 6: a bounce back. And the fact is, I think this

614
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: Purdue team, over the course of the season has proven

615
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 6: that they haven't been overwhelmed by any nationally ranked opponents.

616
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 6: I know that Yukon's in another stratosphere, but I'm not

617
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 6: sure they're going to be intimidated, and that underdog card

618
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 6: is a nice one to be able to play hi

619
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 6: spot like this.

620
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: So that's my play.

621
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have some live takes and some live bets

622
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 6: based on what I'm seeing from Yukon's offense, but I

623
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 6: want to kick it back to you, guys, what do

624
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 6: you think about Yukon having fallen in love with the

625
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 6: three a little bit? It's great when it's going down,

626
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: but there was a stretch where, you know, Alabama took

627
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 6: that first half lead.

628
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: I think they were up by.

629
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 6: Five, and that's when Hurley called the time out and

630
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 6: was like, all right, let's get back to what we.

631
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: Do and then they just you know, basically put them

632
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: through the meat grinder.

633
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a team that they just they like.

634
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we're just like grasping for straw so

635
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: to find any potential witnesses.

636
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: I think that's I think that's a fair point.

637
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: They fell in love with a three for six minutes,

638
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: we got to fade them here like the Yeah. I mean, look,

639
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: the one thing that I will say is that against Purdue,

640
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: it's Perdue's a dominant rebounding team. So Connecticut can't afford

641
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: those stretches because you know, like off they're not hitting

642
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: shots or you know, a couple of the games this

643
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: tournament they went three seventeen, three of nineteen from three,

644
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: but they get so many rebounds that it doesn't even matter.

645
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: But that's not necessarily gonna be the case against preduct

646
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Perdue is an elite rebounding team on both ends, in

647
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: large part due to Edie. So yeah, if they have

648
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: a really off shooting night and fall and do fall

649
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: in love with the three a bit too much, the

650
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Purdue is gonna be right there. But you know, if

651
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: Yukon has a great shooting night, I don't Dennis lights out.

652
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: If they're around just season average, then I think it's

653
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna come down to, you know, can Purdue the Purdue

654
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: guards match the physicality the playmaking of Yukon's on the perimeter,

655
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: and then the whistle's gonna be uh, it's probably gonna

656
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: play at least a minor role. Like So I was

657
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: clinging getting foul trouble. Could Edie could too. Edie's very

658
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: good about not falling, but it doesn't mean he's incapable

659
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: of getting into foul trouble. So but I will say

660
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: to your point, if they do fall in love with

661
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: the three and they're just not hitting again, because it's

662
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: not like an elite, elite three point shooting tam It's

663
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: an elite offense the stuff that they run, but it's

664
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: not like the best three point shooting team we've ever seen.

665
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: So if they have like a three of twenty night

666
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: like they're they're not going to be getting all of

667
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: the offensive rebounds as we've seen them do in many

668
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: of these games. But it doesn't even matter what they're shooting.

669
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: They're just going to blow you out anyway. But as

670
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: far as pace is concerned, Anthony, I think that you

671
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: had such a bad take on the NC State perdue

672
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: total that I have any of your thoughts here your due.

673
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on on how you see this game undertook

674
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: immedia pretty sharp money and the total came down. I'm

675
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: closer to where it is right now, which I would

676
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: have gotten some like one. I think it opened one.

677
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: But I expect this game to be played more in

678
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: the half court. I mean, you kN is they're three

679
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eighth in adjusted tempo, but they're they're

680
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: kind of a pace taker at times, whereas like do

681
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: you want to run, They'll be like, I will run

682
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: and beat you that way, like a couple of the

683
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: Saint John's games that get you know that are super fast.

684
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: But I would think it's weird produce Matt Painter and

685
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: every timeout says we need to push the ball and run,

686
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: like every immediate time out this whole tournament. But I

687
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: expect produe to slow this game down and this to

688
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: be played in the half court without many transition opportunities.

689
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that?

690
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:37,239
Speaker 2: So?

691
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: I mean Bama got like nothing in transition, nothing, nada,

692
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: and uh, I think Yukon wants to play this a

693
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: little faster.

694
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not betting me over.

695
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: I'm retiring from totals the rest of the season after

696
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 4: that over one forty six, I end up closing one

697
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: forty seven and landed what one thirteen, Uh so just

698
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: missed it.

699
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: But by beer at that point.

700
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So the reality is for me to go

701
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: back to the thing about the turnovers. Because you talk

702
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: about rebounding edge, Yukon isn't going to dominate rebounds. Purdue

703
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 4: got out shot in terms of shot volume by NC State.

704
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 4: NC State shot really poorly from three, but produced turnovers

705
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 4: gave NC State a lot of extra possessions to stay

706
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 4: in that game. I think as much as Yukon's rebounding

707
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: edges maybe nullified by Purdue's dominance of the glass, Yukon's

708
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: ability to force Purdue into mistakes with their ball pressure

709
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 4: could be an even bigger issue for Purdue in terms

710
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 4: of maximizing possessions. Like if you if you offered me

711
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 4: a bet, if you include free throws and whatnot, who

712
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 4: will attempt more shots in this game? I'm gonna take Yukon,

713
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: like trips of the line plus field goal attempts. I'm

714
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: taking Yukon just because of the turnover differential. So Purdue

715
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: has to make up for that. I think with their

716
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 4: three pointers, But as far as the total goes, I

717
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: am concerned about Yukon wanting to play faster Purdue being

718
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 4: forced to give away possessions via turnovers. I think that's

719
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 4: the biggest red flag for me. I know that Yukon,

720
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 4: if you just pull up their Ken pomp page, hasn't

721
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: forced a ton of turnovers this year relative to, like

722
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 4: you know, some of the more pressure defenses we see

723
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 4: across the country. But they're not incapable of doing it.

724
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: It's something they can do and probably will do in

725
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 4: this matchup. So I would actually if if you if

726
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 4: you made me bet it, I would bet the under.

727
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: But I guess said I'm retiring from total such of

728
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: that brutal call Saturday. But I think that you can

729
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 4: will get some opportunities and transition just because they don't

730
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 4: want Eadie to just man the paint. They want to

731
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 4: try to take advantage and if they can beat Purdue

732
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 4: on the floor, they probably think they have an edge

733
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: and transition offense.

734
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: But I don't think Purdue.

735
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: Is going to want to get into into a faster

736
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: paced game, and Purdue is just as good at controlling

737
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: tempo and so usually in that case when you have

738
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: a discipline team that wants to play slow, They're going

739
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: to get their style imprinted on the game, and so

740
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 4: I just think this game is going to be pretty slow.

741
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other props you gentlemen wanted to add or

742
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: get everything out of your system for this. We do

743
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: have our live show, as I mentioned ear to make

744
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: sure you check that out. We will have more time

745
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: to break this game down, so might have some additional

746
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: props well. Also have either Nick or Sean joining us

747
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: in addition to I believe Charlie, but any of the props.

748
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: Two props have stuck out for me I already mentioned

749
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: were the smith over points and clinging under points. Anything

750
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 1: else you guys had.

751
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 4: I was looking at kaufman Ren under five and a

752
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: half at bet MGM plus one fifteen. I think that

753
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 4: you know him and Gillis kind of split time at

754
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 4: the four, and then kaufman Ren is coming and played

755
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 4: the five when Eadie's out. I mean, I don't think

756
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 4: D's coming out of this game for more than a

757
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 4: couple of minutes because it is such a vital game,

758
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: so you're taking out his minutes at the five, and

759
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: then it's kind of like, do we want more offense

760
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: or defense in this matchup. I think Purdue is going

761
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 4: to have to be scoring to keep up with Ukon's juggernaut,

762
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: and they're gonna want Gillis to space the floor more

763
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: and maybe even take Caraban and try to beat him

764
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: where I think it's probably the weaker spot of the

765
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: Yukon defense is Caraban when he's on the floor at

766
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 4: the same spot. So I think they're gonna prioritize Gillis,

767
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: and we've even seen that the last two games where

768
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 4: Gillis became you know, took more minutes, more points, more

769
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 4: scoring over Kaufman Wren, who has played less than sixteen

770
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: seventeen minutes in just about every game since Utah State,

771
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 4: where that was a matchup where he could exploit Utah

772
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: States really solved rim defense. You're not gonna get that

773
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 4: in this matchup. And I don't think they're gonna want

774
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 4: too many Edie Kaufman Ren offensive possessions given that they're

775
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 4: going up against a team you just cannot score.

776
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: Out the rim against. So I think they're gonna want offense.

777
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 4: In shooting and they're gonna take Gillis minutes, and so

778
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: I like Kaufman Ren under.

779
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind that either. I'm also still mad

780
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: at Braden Smith for not getting another assist. So he

781
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: had over the final thirteen minutes of the game or

782
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: whatever it was, I had over six and a half assists,

783
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: get five at the half, got a sick with like

784
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: twelve to go, and then never could get a seventh.

785
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: There was miss missshots, miss layups where he had chances

786
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: to and then there was a chance at the very

787
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: end of the game and they they couldn't even get

788
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: the three off.

789
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 4: But play let's play trivia. How many non eedy two's

790
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 4: did en did Purdue make against NC State? Total baskets

791
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: that were twos not made by Zach eaty.

792
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: Two's by not Zach Edy, Kaufman Wren had a couple.

793
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: I'll say Smith didn't have any, all right, Yeah, Smith

794
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: didn't have any. I'll say Kaufman Wren and like Lawyer

795
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: had one. So I'll say three.

796
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: Three is correct. Lance Joe one, Kaufman Red made two.

797
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: That was it. Smith and Lawyer were shut out.

798
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: Lawyer missed a bunch. I figured he got one. He

799
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of laps.

800
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 2: Attempt Anny, So yeah, that was kind of interesting.

801
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: Because you know you're gonna want to score in the

802
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: mid range on Yukon two Perdue can't score anything in

803
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: that mid range area.

804
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: They're in big trouble.

805
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: Gotta be Smith that they're going to score in the

806
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: mid range. He cannot have an over day.

807
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 6: Looka I like Braden Smith over one and a half

808
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 6: made threes. It's plus money in the market. And when

809
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 6: you look at his season, totally shot forty three percent

810
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 6: from long range. In this tournament he's averaged in just

811
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 6: shy five triples per game. I think the game script

812
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 6: more often than not is them in desperation needing buckets at.

813
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: The end of the game.

814
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 6: And he's one of you know, their their key three

815
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 6: point shooters, So I think there's a better than fifty

816
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 6: to fifty shot. He's north of five attempts. So I'll

817
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 6: go ahead with the plus money on over one and

818
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 6: a half triples.

819
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: All right, love it? That will do it for us

820
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: in the National title breakdown, hoping for a good game

821
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: and most importantly some cash bets. But from the August

822
00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: college football previews to today, this is my last podcast

823
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: of my grind. Still we bet in baseball, but I

824
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: will be off on the podcast run until late July

825
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: early August when college football comes back. Happy to have

826
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: a break, but it's always a pleasure to do this.

827
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: I think each and every one of my fellow co hosts,

828
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: producers on the back end, most importantly, all of you

829
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: not going anywhere for a long time. So unfortunately for

830
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: all of you, you'll have to hear me on this

831
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: podcast for many more years to come, but it'll be

832
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: the last time for a while. BBOC won't be going

833
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: away though. Calibers and is it just you and Colin?

834
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 6: Just me and Colin just doing the baseball grinds on

835
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 6: the collegiate level.

836
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: Excited to get into it. Last year was a lot

837
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: of fun.

838
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 6: I would echo stucky sentiments like we do the show

839
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 6: because our fans are so passionate about it, the interaction

840
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 6: reaching out on YouTube, dropping comments, leaving reviews. It seems

841
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 6: like you liked it, so we're going to give you

842
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 6: more of it and hopefully stretch out a few episodes

843
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 6: before the World Series even starts. That way, you can

844
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 6: kind of build your portfolio and kind of get excited.

845
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 6: It is nice that ESPN and other networks are giving

846
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 6: it more love, so you have an opportunity to watch

847
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 6: more college baseball before the postseason tournament start.

848
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,640

Speaker 4: He might not be starting that long, although the Marlins

869
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,440
