7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: We're in the studio. We are in the Intercom Studios

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are recording the podcast because

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: we were all in town for a big party tonight

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: and then a weekend of crazy good times and more importantly,

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: excellent content from the Action Network. We've gotta talk about

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: some games. Guys, don't what is the matter with you,

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: because it's just you're you're under selling this a little bit.

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Me and Jeff have been out here for thirty six

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: hours with Paul Laduka. Thankfully we're all still alive in

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: one piece. Paul missed out on today. I always went, yes,

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: he lost the ticket. I lost sixty dollar ticket and

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: then I got knocked out of UH pick five. So

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: it's already been a bad morning. But the issue is

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: is that I look like Dan DeVito compared to Arnold

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger over here. Yet I'm fifteen years older than him,

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: so it's a little odd. And then I'm walking around

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: with a guy that everybody stares at and he buys

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: his glasses on Fremont Street, the people that I'm trying

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: to So I'm trying to hold up a reputation here, Chad,

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: And it's really tough too. What what reputation is that

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't have one to generate? I guess that's it.

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: I post my bets on Twitter. At least I hang

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: him out there. Um uh yeah, I'm a d G

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: and I love it. How uh you played? How many

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: parlays did you play yesterday? Uh? Seventeen? And how many

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: of those lays had the same team at the same number?

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: And what team? And what number was that? The marshall

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: thundering hern and what hiding Chad pennies as what happened

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: in that game? They're up seventy to fifty five, but

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: five minutes left they proceeded to get outscored eighteen to

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: eight and got back door. So eleven parlays d d.

38
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: Now hold on, because you're missing the best part of

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: the story. You don't know it quite yet. Jeff and

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I were with Paul yesterday and asked him his logic

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: behind putting Marshall in all of these plays. You said

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: you thought the line should have been about two, right,

43
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: So why would you actually get this Why would you

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: lay the seven and a half when you thought the

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: line should be too Because on my projections, the line

46
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: should be two two and a half. So when Vegas

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: put out the line at seven, they're trying to tell you. Hey,

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: at the other side, they're knocking outsmart You no, listen.

49
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: I actually had one units on the app last night.

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: My mother plays one. This is like, so it's just

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: I played the wrong team. Arkansas was the other team

52
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: played the wrong team last night? It happens. So let

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: me ask you a quick question before I put in

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: the parlays. Mr black Jack Fletcher, who was your best

55
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: player the night? Marshall? Okay, thank you very much. I

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Marshall a lot to listen. We got Mars

57
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Madness starting tomorrow, so we gotta record this quickly so

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: people can get it up. But we can give people

59
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: some upsets, all right, and we give people ideas of

60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: what they want to bet over the next couple of days.

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't want to do. I don't want

62
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time. Here's who's gonna win

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: this game in this bracket. Here's who's gonna win this

64
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: game in this bracket. I want to talk about serious bets.

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I want to do some serious handicapping. I don't want

66
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: to talk about you know who's going to win the

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: East Region? Okay, you want serious conversation, you might be

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: in the wrong room. Somebody will delivered for me, no

69
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Well, I'll tell you right now. I

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I think Nevad is a serious player. I know they're

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: down to a seventh seed. Now, they got Florida, and

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: they got a tough way to go. They're gonna have

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: to go through Michigan. Jordan Caroline decided to sit out

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: that game. That's a wash game. Um, And he is

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: their best player. He's their best inside type player. He's

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: a kind of guy that is a great tournament player

77
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: too as well. That Nevada is a team at seven.

78
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Let him set it up a little bit. Oh, I

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: thought you guys were sitting here waiting. It was awkward. Pause.

80
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: He went, right, you guys needed help with a team.

81
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys are gonna drop. Murray

82
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Steed didn't get in or state. I'm trying to start conversation,

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: you guys give me an awkward pause. I'm telling you

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: a team. I like what the fund has been going

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: on with him, like you don't want to know the

86
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: last three days he feels, he feels betrayed after dinner

87
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: last night, getting sick and poison fired. It's all fired up?

88
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: All right? Can we can we corral this thing a

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: little bit? Okay, go ahead. You got Roofi the other

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: night I would like to talk about maybe by himself.

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Swart. Yes, Jeff Schwartz, Oh here can you give

92
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: me in the first round? Yes, the upsets you are

93
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: most excited to see happen. Well, it's I think it's

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: easy to say Oregon because they're the hot team right now.

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I went to Oregon. I think they do match up

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: well inside with half Kenny Woon. What do you wonder

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: under your breath? Yeah, Organ is now plus two. They

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: were plus two minus two plus two. I think. I mean, look,

99
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: everyone's picking Yale over l s U just because the

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: style of play that Yale has um. I think that's

101
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: most people are taking Yale plus two points. Are you're not?

102
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Are you taking Yale plus the points? I was thinking, like, pure,

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: you're talking straight up, straight upset. I think I think

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: that's a decent I'm not try to put that in

105
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: my bracket, though, because we know that when you fill

106
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: out a bracket, you cannot fill it out well, you

107
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't fill it out by just making upsets everything, because

108
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: that's not actually really how it works. Um, I'm looking

109
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: at my bracket now, who else have for upsets? I don't.

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Last year we had no twelves fives last year that's

111
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: six is the new twelve five? Like, you're right, everybody

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: knows that. I like Belmont. I think Belmont beats Maryland

113
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: out right. I think Belmont is an underrated team. I

114
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: think that Maryland inconsistent for most of this season. I

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: like Belmont in the six eleven and women rank them

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: for me, rank them for me right now. St. Mary's

117
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: gotta be up there now, I would say, I would say,

118
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: if I am ranking my upsets right now, I would

119
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: say St. Mary's over Nova. The reason why I like

120
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the St. Mary slows the game down so much there

121
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: and like in the three forties or three fifties. When

122
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: it comes to pays, Villanova can get in functs. Uh.

123
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Big East was not that good this year. St. Mary's

124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: got a big shot to win that game and and

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: the total is low. Two things you gotta know. Two

126
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: things you gotta know. St. Mary's three point defense amongst

127
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: the best in the country. Villanova streaky on the three pointers,

128
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: and it's all they've done this year. Be the Big

129
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: East has nobody who can defend the three pointer. So

130
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: what you got was a Villanova team that is probably

131
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: overseated because they didn't have anyone who's competition in their conference.

132
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: They were streaky, and you got a Saint Mary's team

133
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: that won their conference against a number one seed that

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: is unbelievably good on defense. Black Jack back me up

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: on that. Everything he said, right, I mean, Villanova lives

136
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: and dies on the three point line. I mean, there's

137
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: there's no team in the country more reliant on the

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: three point shot than Villanova. The Big East down year overall.

139
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say is Villanova veteran team. They've

140
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: been there, you know. I mean that. I think it

141
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: does help them seven years roughly, I think that does

142
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: help them. But yeah, I mean St. Mary's definitely live there.

143
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: There's a word that St. Mary's hasn't played about two weeks.

144
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: You could go two ways on that list as an athlete,

145
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: which I was, you know, of course, yes. I don't

146
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: know if you guys are familiar with this, but you

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: could either be rusty or you can be healthy. What

148
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: did you play in high school? Play basketball? How did you? Yeah?

149
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: How how much did you actually see the court? Quite

150
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a bit? Yeah, until I didn't, and then I just

151
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: said it's probably not for me anymore. This wasn't This

152
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: was in Chicago, right a Park, Illinois, at the at

153
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: the Jewish High school. Probably well, there were there were

154
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Jewish gentlemen there. Yes, there were a

155
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: lot of Jews on the team, predominantly Jewish. But we

156
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: love basketball, you know, Jews like basically invented basketball. They did.

157
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Mr Nasmith. I don't think you

158
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: don't think that we think of his basketball today. I

159
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: thought you were saying, no, he did not the game.

160
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: We're moving on. We're moving on. By the way North Eastern.

161
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty hold on, hold on, we're going We're gonna

162
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: go there in a second. But I at least want

163
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: to get through the East because there is another, to me,

164
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: huge upset that's going to happen in the East. Jeff Beast,

165
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: we were talking about Bell. No, I'm talking about Liberty. No, wait,

166
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: am I in the East? I mean where's Virginia. That's

167
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: the south that's a great job hosting mission. I mean Irvine, Yes,

168
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: over case State. That line has dropped like five points.

169
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: You see your Vine is going to the sweet sixteen. No,

170
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: they're not winning this game, both of you, both of

171
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: you combined, right, but you're right now. The way the

172
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: way Irvine, the way Irvine does this, by the way,

173
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: is if Oregan upsets What's continent, they play organ in

174
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: the round of thirty two and then that's much easier

175
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: opponent to play. But they're not winning against Kansas State.

176
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're so winning against Kansas State. We

177
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: did every year. This happens, right, there's one like really

178
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: trendy dog. Last year I think it was South Dakota

179
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: State against Ohio State, and those are the ones you

180
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: want to stay away from. Last year it was Loyola.

181
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: There was no trend to your dog last year. And

182
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: then listen, you're right ultimately, but look, do you remember

183
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: that South Dakota State Ohio State game. Everyone thought South

184
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Dakota is like compared to the fourth thirteen in Kansas. Kansas.

185
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: At one time before the entrance Winds was number one

186
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: in the nation, Northwesterns would lost nine of their first

187
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: ten games. Is now is on a rolls one ten

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: over the last eleven. Kansas is reeling. You got the

189
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: wrong Kansas team that's in trouble and minus seven. I'm

190
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: telling you Northeastern is very efficient to and three point.

191
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: They can score the basket. And Bill self is one

192
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. He's jackel and hide. His team either

193
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: goes a long way or they're knocked out. We can't

194
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: even stay in the same in the same bracket. So

195
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: West just move on. Let's just move on. You're getting

196
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: a one hour. You just think the Auntie Evadors have

197
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: at and they don't. But I do think they have

198
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: a shot. And we've already made a bet. You just

199
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: made a bet. Do you realize you know you and

200
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I made a bet. That's fine, just check it. It's fine, everybody.

201
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Let me know how much later black jack, and I

202
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: bet you see your vine. I don't want to take

203
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: some Wisconsin action. I'll take Wisconsin. Who are they playing?

204
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna root for you. I I can't root against you.

205
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: I'll take Wisconsin, although they might score nine points total.

206
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: And you Arizona State tonight St John's, are you? I mean,

207
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing. My father went to St. Johnn's, and

208
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: so me and my father already made a bet. Hold on, now,

209
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: I gotta start making notes because I gotta remember everyone

210
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: knows make more than one bet. I'm gonna chat and

211
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: a tribute question. My father went to St. John's an interception.

212
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Guess whose baseball coach was? Kind of second? Great call?

213
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: He was the baseball and how good was that legend?

214
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: But that's like trivial pursuit, right, Like if they give

215
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: you a question, generally got me the one thing that

216
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: is true. He was the baseball. The only thing I

217
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: know about St. John's is like Louis Karna sca um.

218
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, So right now, Schwarz and Blackjack are on

219
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: the opposite side of Wisconsin, Oregon, and I am on

220
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: opposite side of You see Irvine in Kansas State? I

221
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: have you see Irvine, black Jack and Paul both of

222
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Uh, we can move on to the next region,

223
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: which includes Paul Duca in Northeastern. It's just a funky line.

224
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean checking on your phone. No, I'm just looking

225
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: at the four thirteen and like you know, to me,

226
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: I thought that the SEC was so good this year

227
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: and for Auburn to go win the SEC and they

228
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: did it pretty convincingly to get a five seat against

229
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: New Mexico State, that's gonna be a high scoring game.

230
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: But like I said, maybe twenty semi games in the season,

231
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: Kansas was the best team in the nation and now

232
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: they're reeling in Northeastern. Come on, black check, don't look

233
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: at me like that. Before the injuries, they're the best team.

234
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't know they were the best team in the country.

235
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: They were not the one number one team in the

236
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: country for about three weeks in a row. Now they're

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: reeling in a four seed and only a seven point

238
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: favorite against Northeastern. If you would have projected that three

239
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: months ago, yeah, I just think it's a line that's

240
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: pretty low. But do you think they're gonna win. I

241
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: think it's a chat that they get. They're gonna lose

242
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: that game. I'm gonna play Northeastern in a couple of

243
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: brackets will to beat them. How many brackets do you do? Oh?

244
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: I played like fun brackets stuff like that, but I

245
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: rather bet the game out right. Those brackets are for kids,

246
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: It's true. It's like fantasy sports, kid, unless you're going

247
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a sheet and we're gonna have a

248
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: little fun here, right, Yeah, fantasy sports is like half

249
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: our business. I like, I like. I would like to

250
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: know brackets that feelings get hurt. I would like to know, Luduca,

251
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: the biggest bet you've ever made. Oh, that was just

252
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: actually here. I was on a rehab at the Intercome

253
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: studio I was at in Vegas. I was in rehab

254
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: and I was staying there rehab basically, yes, rehab assignment

255
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: people get it. That was clear. I both looked each other, like, like,

256
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: we have to make sure this is. Some of the

257
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: most popular videos we've done at the Action Network the

258
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: past month have been you dancing holding thirty two months

259
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: beers in front of some sad stage in downtown Las Vegas. Listen,

260
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: if you can pull shapes, you can. You just gotta

261
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: show it off, Okay, to get back to it. I

262
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. Shape shapes is like

263
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: a style of dancing exactly. How do you know? My

264
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: wife goes a rehab assignment in two thousand one and

265
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Bob Badford had called me and told me this this

266
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the best horse that ever trained. He lost the derby.

267
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: His name is point given a twenty thou dollars to

268
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: win on Yeah he went by a pole. No way, Yeah,

269
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. I called my man trip a manager,

270
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and I said, uh, make sure you let to know

271
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: the big big boys that I would there at two o'clock.

272
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: And he's like, what do you mean you're supposed to

273
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: be here? Just like, like, don't worry. So I greased him.

274
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: You gave him five? How much did you win? It

275
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: was you bet? How much did you win? I got

276
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: back like sixty four. You gave him five gees. I

277
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: greased him so they wouldn't have to say that under

278
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: the brass got a couple of knocks that night. I

279
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: was in a good nude the matter of fact way,

280
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: since I was like yeah, just like, yeah, I just

281
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: increased my manager. I got three hits that I don't

282
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: asked for a marker to hide it from my wife.

283
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: So I bet five, so she thought five, and then

284
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: I asked for the fifteen marker and then and then

285
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: I remember the guy mocked me at the cage, so

286
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I put an extra five because he mocked me. What

287
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: did you do with all the cash? I told the

288
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: guy to hold it. And you know how the Italians are,

289
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: somebody picked it up for me. I don't know what

290
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: that means. You can listen when you make the score

291
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: that big, the other half doesn't need to know. I'm sorry,

292
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: that's just the bottom line. It was my money. Just

293
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: f y I. She apparently listens to this podcast. Oh no,

294
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: she does listens to this podcast. She loves the podcast.

295
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: This is also eighteen years ago. Yes, and yeah, and

296
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: she knows. I'm not that big of a moron. I'm

297
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: just half a moron. I mean, so the brackets, so

298
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the practets. Let's get back to Northeastern. I think Northeastern

299
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: is gonna win this game. I think they are experienced.

300
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I think they are well coached. I think their offense

301
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: is really really good. I think Kansas is so inconsistent.

302
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they know who they are. And I

303
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: think this has prime to upset scenario written all over it.

304
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: It could. I mean, I listen, I don't hate it.

305
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: I think the better plays Northeastern in the first half.

306
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna come out hot if Kansas. If

307
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: Kansas has a shot to get this together, I think

308
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: it will be in the second half. Northeastern make it

309
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: a little bit tired. Um. They really can shoot from

310
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: anywhere though. I mean, they've got five guys that can

311
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: can hit from anywhere on the floor. I mean, they're

312
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: dangerous team. It's not a it's not a game I'm

313
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna play full game. But I do like them in

314
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the first half. Northeastern just a defense too. Yeah, not ideal.

315
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: I think some points obviously scored in that game. Yeah,

316
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: what do you think about the bottom are now? No?

317
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: The other part is is Kentucky and Abilene Christian on

318
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: the bottom half of that bracket? I guess we're going on.

319
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, I thought you were staying on in the Midwest.

320
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: We can move on from this game. No. The thing

321
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: about Kans, like I said, Kansas could, there's such a

322
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: tough team to read. Go to Kentucky app Christian. It's

323
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: a giant line. I hate playing giant lions. Earliest Abilene

324
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: Christian almost seventy of their offenses threes, Kentucky's length is

325
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: going to bother them to the ump degree, and those

326
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: teams get buried in the tournament. So I think that's

327
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: the one team that you can lay the points. Kentucky. UM.

328
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: And they've seen Calipari's team plays, so they played great defense,

329
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that they got buried in the SEC

330
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: tournament don't come out playing good defense. I like Kentucky

331
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: a lot. UM. I think that's another one that I

332
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: think you could see an upset in that region. I

333
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: like Seaton Hall to beat Wofford. I know Watford has

334
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: been the darling of everyone, including every Rachel in the

335
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: somewhere on the floor in this studio. Um. But Seaton

336
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Hall has quietly put together a very nice season. They

337
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: beat Kentucky earlier in the year, a nice little run

338
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: in the Big East Tournament for them, and they're a

339
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: team that hangs around in games, right. I mean they

340
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: were talking they are a tough, tough Yeah we were. UM.

341
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Paul had a Seaton Hall ticket last week that he

342
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: just loved more than almost anything in his life. They win,

343
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: they did. Um. I like Seton Hall to beat Wofford

344
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: out right. That is interesting. Not a single person I've

345
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: spoken to and said that there's the thing. Everybody you've

346
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: heard it. I think the Big East is bad. But

347
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: when you talked when we talked about NOO Nova losing St. Mary's, Yeah,

348
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: the conference as a whole didn't have a great year.

349
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: But I think people are going to look at Providence

350
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: getting buried by Arkansas on the first n I T game,

351
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: like people look at that stuff before the n c

352
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: g A tournament and we'll maybe we'll swing lines, but

353
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful. I think Seton Hall is a

354
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: hot team right now. I'm with him. Wow, here's the thing,

355
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: Miles Powell, one trick pony. That team has one asset,

356
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: one weapon. Wafford is spread all over the court and

357
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: they have great offensive weapons, great mascot. You like Wafford

358
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: Terriers about this one too? I like Watford and Minus Sure, yeah,

359
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: they're fifty. Let's do it, Okay, Paul, you went in

360
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: on that. Oh I like the Pirates. Wow? Alright, so

361
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Jeff and I will both bet you together. I don't

362
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: know how we do that. I don't really know how

363
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: that work. Whatever are all over Watford today? All right?

364
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, um, here's another question. I have the spreads

365
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: for Duke over you and see uh Central North Dakota State.

366
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: When is that playing tonight? Tonight? Duke is favored by

367
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: thirty five and thirty and a half. Gonzaga is favored

368
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: by twenty six and a half over Fairleie Dickinson. Virginia

369
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: is favored by twenty two and a half. North Carolina

370
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: is favored by twenty three and a half over Iona.

371
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: I think you take Virginia first half and hammer Virginia

372
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: first half. They're gonna come out guns blazing after last season. Well,

373
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: he's the last couple of seasons. Gardner Webb might not

374
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: score ten points in the first half and they're gonna

375
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: come out. You gotta play in the first half. Roy

376
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Williams always takes his the pedal off in the second half.

377
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't like blowing teams out. Um, so I with

378
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Virginia just have some great play there to twelve

379
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: or something. But yeah, I played in a full game

380
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: and I put more units on first first half is

381
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: a great bed And I would take the points with FAIRLEYE.

382
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Dickinson really and might put up a hundred against him.

383
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Take two point him. I mean, we watched them yesterday

384
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: and they're playing game hafru there streaky. You know team

385
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: can put some points on the board with twenty six points,

386
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: we saw them. You might want to you know what?

387
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: It's because fucking rebel had me for sweating all morning

388
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: because he tried to poison us. You listen, You think

389
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's up to? All right? He

390
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: invites me, Paul, and Jeff out to dinner with him,

391
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: the three of us out of everyone else who's out

392
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: of here. He wants to break bread with us. Know

393
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: it's weird, okay, but we went out of curiosity. And

394
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: then he ordered the food for us. Okay, he chose

395
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: all of the dishes, and suddenly me and Paul are

396
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: sick all night long. Do you think I don't know

397
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: what his game is? He wants us off our game tonight.

398
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, I know what's going on. He knew

399
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: the chef. He left at one point to go back

400
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: and talk to him. Come on, just picture his phone

401
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: was being charged. He get his phone because he's on it.

402
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, his phone's messed up. He took a picture

403
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: every piece of food they came out. His phone's all

404
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: messed up. Every piece of food that came out, he

405
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: might have took a picture of Should we put a

406
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: total on the number of Instagram stories Revel will have

407
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: tonight now and uh the end of the weekend in

408
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: Vegas would be seventies. Oh it's more than that. I'd

409
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: go over. He's over seventy by the time Friday rolls around. True. Yeah,

410
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: so let's get back to the show. I'll fix my test.

411
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of speaking of streaking fairly Dickinson, yeah, I was

412
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: impressed by them yesterday. Gonzaga is going to blow him out.

413
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: But here's what's interesting. The if Duke plays u n

414
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: C Central, The coach for UNC Central the other day

415
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: said it would be such a joke. It's like my

416
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: team playing against sixth graders. That makes me feel like

417
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: I am going to be all in on Duke and

418
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: minus thirty five when they play and Central. If you

419
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Central wins that game, he's got to really wish he

420
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: could take that one back. Do you worry that when

421
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: in such a big line with and Duke, they can't

422
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: shoot fouls, can't and can't shoot three pointers? I mean

423
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: they can have long periods of time shoot Because I

424
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: don't want about it tomorrow, But what if what if,

425
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: the what if and whoever they're playing, because they obviously

426
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: one of the n C schools whatever, just packing it

427
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: on zone all night. I mean they could just they

428
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: in theory, and theory I'm saying theory obviously doesn't mean

429
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. They just packing in the zone

430
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: and say, just I dare to shoot and just see

431
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: what happened. Now. Zion of course can dunk over all

432
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: of them. I'm just waiting to see Zion and Taco

433
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: Fall go at it in the second round game. Hopefully

434
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: you ce F wins, Beats beats v c U, and

435
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: Zion tries to dunk on seven seven Taco fall. That's

436
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: all I want to see it again. Bets, all right, fine,

437
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: let's do it. Bet like l Duke in here, exciting that.

438
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I feel like the West region, the Gonzaga Region, has

439
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of volatility, is gonna win that division. I

440
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: got Florida State in the final four, the best team,

441
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Hamilton's had his best defensive team, and they actually

442
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: run a better tempo and even though they lost a Duke,

443
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: they do somewhat got Duke's number. They always play them

444
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: very tough, so I Tony Florida State's gonna go along.

445
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: Leonard Hamilton's seven years old. Jesus, I've never seen a

446
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: seven year old man. Seven year old man. Look that

447
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: good Carols letter. Hamilton's does not have a wrinkle on.

448
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Damn you asked me what. Here's a good Florida State

449
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: set for you, guys. Under dog is fourteen to want

450
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: to get to spare with eleven outright wins in Florida

451
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: States last fifteen n C Double A tournament games and

452
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: Leonard Hamilton's last fifteen Turney games as a head coach.

453
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: The underdog is fifteen and four, so that's actually nineteen

454
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: games with eleven outright wins. He's three and eight against

455
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: the spread with six sherriff losses. Is a favorite that

456
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: nothing changes said, Nothing you said changes my mind. I

457
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: like text check out there. Those things are meant to

458
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: be broken up. I kind of like Buffalo, Buffalo can

459
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: pour on a ton of points. We gotta reset. We're

460
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: jumping all over there. We're in the West now, I know,

461
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: but I just want to reset for people. So like

462
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: if they want to take breath and like want to

463
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: write some things down, to tell them, like, hey, go

464
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: ahead and write down that in the South region. Uh,

465
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: we like you see your Vine to beat Kansas State,

466
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Um we don't. We like St. Mary's to beat Villanova.

467
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: Uh we like and these were talking about like upsets

468
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: in the first round, right, we like in the in

469
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: the other region, what is that? The Midwest? Now North Carolina?

470
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't have listed on my screen. That's why, Um,

471
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: we like Northeastern to topple Kansas. We like Watford. When

472
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: you say when when you say we like, we we've

473
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: we've we've we've generally suggested these possible upsets. We've got

474
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: bets on almost all of these games because we're on

475
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: opposite sides. So the Jews like Wafford only because I

476
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: used to train there for training camp for the Panthers.

477
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: I have a little spot on my heart for the

478
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Watford Terriers. Bat Mitchell is just shaking his head every

479
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: time you say the Jews like Wafford. Well, what I'm Jewish,

480
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: I can say it, Nay Smith, That's all I know.

481
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: You too. The two non Jews have their heads covered

482
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: in here, by the way, I appreciate it. That's true.

483
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: Respective for Autumn. I um, all right, so I think

484
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: that's that's where we are so far. Sounds about right, right?

485
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: Sounds right? Do you want to talk about Buffalo, Jeffrey.

486
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: I just think that they're a low key pretty good

487
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: sixth seed Buffalo against who won last night, you know

488
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: they played a night. I think I think St. John's

489
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: wins the Pack twelve not very good, um, but Buffalo

490
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: and half point favorite over either of those. Buffalo can

491
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: score points fast. I think they're one of the best

492
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: second half scoring teams in the country too. They can

493
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 1: just pour it on. I think they they've they're just

494
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: the one last year in the first round against another

495
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: Arizona last year, right, so they feel good in the

496
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in the tournament. I just think that they're one of

497
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: these teams. If you're looking for like a team outside

498
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: of the top four seed to kind of make noise,

499
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I feel like Buffalo is that team. I think Buffalo

500
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: wants Arizona State to win the night because Arizona State

501
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: runs and guns and plays their offense, where St. John's

502
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: can be dominant because they got a lot of athletes,

503
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: and then they can beat Buffalo. I really do get.

504
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: But St. John's can be one of those team because

505
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: he beat anybody but Arizona State listen, I'm a lum

506
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: and I get it. They got Remy Martin is a

507
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: nice little player. They darts a nice little player. But

508
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: they just don't play good enough defense. And if they

509
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: play Buffalo, Buffalo play ninety on them. So I mean,

510
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: they may got a shot against St. John's tonight, but

511
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you. But I'll tell you what. If St.

512
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: John's beats them, they might get Buffalo all they can handle.

513
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: I think St. John's got the athletes. It seems so

514
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: up and down. Man. And if that's why it's jack,

515
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: what do you think that line would be? I don't know.

516
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: Are you Buffalo eight? Okay? Now, if Arizona State wins,

517
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: what's the line? Jesus Deely? The lines are four and

518
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: a half against both teams right now. I think that's crazy.

519
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy. It's crazy. It doesn't matter who

520
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: wins the game. Base. I mean, either way, I'm taking

521
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo in that in that region to Buffalo will play

522
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Tech most likely in that the thirty two texts number

523
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: one defense in the country. That's what people. Yeah, but

524
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing that still plays better defense, and you

525
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: think they do, but they are more known obviously for

526
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: what they could do it off and they poured on

527
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: the stecon. I think they have to take forty five

528
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: points in the second half. Um and and but Tech,

529
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean most people I think don't have Gonzag on

530
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: the final four? Do they They have tech win in there?

531
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: They have tech win in there. The yeah, defense is

532
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: always carries actually going to the elite eight. Do you

533
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: haven't beating Tech. I haven't beating Tech, and then I

534
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: haven't beating Michigan, and then I haven't losing to Florida State.

535
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Michigan. John Belon is probably this

536
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: is the best tournament coach saying that. Let me ask

537
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: you a question because he never got Kevin Pitts snuggle

538
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: almost to the final. Farn look good one, alright, great name.

539
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Never he hasn't won a title. You can't be the

540
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: best tournament coach if you haven't won a title. Number

541
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: one hasn't won a title. Becauesn't have lottery guys, though

542
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: he's got plenty of guys who end up in the NBA.

543
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: But the difference Betu having Zigoned Williamson having Jordan Pool. Yeah, well,

544
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: by the way, recruit better. It's not like he had

545
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: a school where you can't poe root. But we're not

546
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: asking if a campus. We're asking you rather the University

547
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: of Michigan. Have you been then all the other schools.

548
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Plenty of people are interested in going in Michigan campus. Yeah,

549
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: it's great and play football with John B. Line. I

550
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: would say, in the last ten years, how many McDonald's

551
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: all Americans do? Is he got? Here's my point. I'm

552
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: as we're talking about tournament coaching, not overall recruiting. We're

553
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: saying he cannot be called the best tournament coach when

554
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: there are guys like my Showski who have won five

555
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: different n C Double A titles. And don't tell me

556
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: that it's because of the talent. You still need to

557
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: coach in the tournament you do. But I think there's

558
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: also the argument, like you mentioned Schefski, like there's a

559
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: lot of years where he's got maybe the best talent

560
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: the country and they get bounced earlier. But that doesn't

561
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: really happy become like a thing or John belin best

562
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: tournament and coach, and like he has two chances to

563
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: beat Michigan State within a week and his team collapsed

564
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: at the exact same time. A tournament. I don't care.

565
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: That's I'd state Francis. Last night, I was so ext

566
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: Indiana the amount Michigan and both games against Michigan State

567
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: and all the best tournament. They're a thirteen, like with

568
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes left, all three games against Michigan State. That

569
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: that is why one of the many reasons why I'm

570
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: like you think Nevada can beat them in the second round, Chan,

571
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think Florida beats Nevada. By the way,

572
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: I think Florida beats Nevada. Nevada, and I actually think

573
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: Florida beats Michigan. I'm with you. And then we get

574
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Florida and we get Buffalo going to the elite.

575
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: Guys are all wrong. Nevada is gonna beat Florida. I'm

576
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: telling you, Florida's playing well right now. Man, Yeah, I

577
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't get the same feel off of

578
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: this Nevada team I did last year. We'll see you

579
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: look at you so sassy today. Jordan Caroline is gonna play.

580
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's gonna play. They're gonna win that amount,

581
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: right they got built with Michigan favorite. Yeah, don't worry.

582
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: We'll cover the two of the two and a half.

583
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Now they went up to two and a half. A thing.

584
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: I actually have Syracuse beating Gonzaga too. It's gonna be

585
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: very interesting Beheim Zone. Like you always gotta look if

586
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: it's always so hard in the tournament. That's why I

587
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: last the last two years he's won the playing games.

588
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: So now, what do you got on bail Or? I mean,

589
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: that line's probably gotta be mischal all those Their defense

590
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: is as good as it has been in the past.

591
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: But do you guys, don't you guys think Marquette's the

592
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: phony team? I got my restate. Yeah, okay, here's the

593
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: other one. What what do we do with the Liberty? Liberty?

594
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, are they for real? Lips everybody thought was

595
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: for real? They beat Lipscomb twice and a lot. I've

596
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: heard some people like, no one is picking Liberty. Why

597
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: are they? We're now back in the East region. By

598
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: the way, people, I'm just saying, like, we just haven't

599
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: brought that one up, Like, and they seem like a

600
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 1: team that's snuck in at twelve. You would think they

601
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: would be thirteen fourteen. Man, Lipscomb's was pretty good. I'm

602
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: telling you, man, we'll get back to the show in

603
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: a minute, Dad, but first I want to tell you

604
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: about mac Weldon. Mack Weldon's mission is simple, to make

626
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it, all right. I want to

627
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: move on to the next bracket, which one. I feel

628
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: like we're going to the MOE with Duke in it.

629
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: What's that? That's where Liberty is? So I guess we

630
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: moved down to the east. See I was projecting Paula

631
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: Duke of the visionary Tricky Brackett. We can talk about

632
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: Mary State for a second. I mean Mary, stay you

633
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: talk about a one trick pony. It's Jay Moranton. It's

634
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: nothing else, nothing Mary States also known in this region.

635
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: But sure, all right, so we're bouncing back, don't do

636
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: you don't have like the bracket in front of you.

637
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: He's look at it. I'm looking at it right now.

638
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: It just doesn't have the labels of the regions on

639
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: the top. Yeah. That should probably get Matt Receivo on.

640
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: That should have fixed that. Yeah, I should do that. Um,

641
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: this to me is a Justin Robinson dominated Okay, give

642
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: me the Hokies, give me the Hokeyes, running rough shot

643
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: through this bracket. I think the biggest challenge for them

644
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: in this bracket. It's not going to be Duke Mississippi State.

645
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean that. That's a bold statement you just made.

646
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: You like the Hokeyes, Duke's not the biggest challenge, but

647
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: it's the Bulldogs. I have the Hokey is going to

648
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: the finals against Virginia. Wow. Yikes. All right, So you

649
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: have the team that that that underperforms more than any

650
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: other team like ever Virginia again too, to be fair,

651
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: I also have Virginia the final. There you go. So

652
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm in the final four. I don't have them, but

653
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: even a stretch for me to do. But you want

654
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: to get to that. My final four is Virginia Houston.

655
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: Virginia's going to bring up Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech in

656
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: Florida State, and that guy just who makes it, just

657
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: makes the final four. That's never gonna happen. I've got Virginia,

658
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky Duke, and Texas Tech. I have Virginia, North Carolina

659
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: do context, which is probably too many one seeds, but

660
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: I really do. There's like six teams that can maybe

661
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: win it about it, I'm with you. I'm good with

662
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: having the one seeds in there. Like I think North

663
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: Carolina wins at all m h. I think the middle

664
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: of a lot of these conferences this year is soft.

665
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you've got as many teams that can

666
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: really make a deep run. I think the teams at

667
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: the top are clearly the best teams in the country.

668
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Virginia has given up fifty four points a game, man,

669
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: and I don't want to hear about last year because

670
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: they didn't have DeAndre Hunter and they do now. And

671
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a huge difference. That's the guy that when when

672
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: Virginia's offense stagnates, he's the guy that can create a

673
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: shot on his own. They didn't have him last year,

674
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: they do now. It's a big deal. You look at

675
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: the in the region with U n C in Kentucky.

676
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, Whey, how you go anywhere else? Right?

677
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean those two teams to me, you go to Houston,

678
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: you don't listen. Houston is nice, but Kentucky is so

679
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: damn long. I mean, you see the way that team

680
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: plays too. They're one of the only team's top twenty

681
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: five offensive offensive nd defensive efficiency. I mean, where are

682
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: you finding that? That teams incredible? I think it's one

683
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: of Caliperi's best coaching job. I mean they've got PJ. Washington,

684
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: but they don't have that true like one and done

685
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: superstar that sometimes they get in Kentucky. I think he's

686
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: done a great job there. A lot of people have

687
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: given Virginia, why not Tennessee. Tennessee is pretty good too.

688
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: Rick Barnes has got a pretty good tournament record. So

689
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm Duke Florida State Tennessee in Kentucky. Duke Florida State

690
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Kentucky. That would be interesting. You'd have rematches

691
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: from conference play in both final four senis. But we

692
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: are all all over the board. That is insane. Uh

693
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: Like Tennessee's game they don't want They shoot almost from

694
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: the floor. I mean they're shooting percentages. When you when

695
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: you have a game against Auburn when you just can't score,

696
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: you have no other options to me about if you look,

697
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna I'm trying to find these acts

698
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: that are on a different show. But I think something

699
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: like if you look at the historical data based off kempalm,

700
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: like who wins the championships? You have to be mostly balanced.

701
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: You have to be like in the top fifteen offense

702
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: and defense even have a chance to win. And so

703
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: we have a team like Tennessee, who I don't think defensively,

704
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking them up right now. You know they're they're

705
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: they're thirty third defense that they're out like as much

706
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: good they are on offense, they they're historically not going

707
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: to win this tournament. All right, Uh, let's recap our

708
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: bets here right right now. I have I have a

709
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: bet with Paul and Blackjack on you see Irvine to

710
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: beat Kansas State. I have a bet with black Jack

711
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: and what else? Oh? Here on Watford over because who

712
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: likes Watford? I do? I M your voice? Here? Here's

713
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: here's the stat. Here's the stat. Ready. Since keim Palms

714
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: started tracking data in two thousand to sixteen of event

715
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: teen national champions have featured a top twenty offense adjusted

716
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: offense and twelve a bit rates at the top seven defense.

717
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: All seventeen ranked in the top twenty and seven in

718
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: the last uh and seven in the last seven winners

719
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: right to the top eleven R Yes, because they can

720
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: play offenses year like like, that's the difference between this

721
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: year and last year. Virginia is winning the title. Everything

722
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: else is sort of you know, like four play chat.

723
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: I actually agree on this, we do. We totally do.

724
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: I think there's also an Oregon Wisconsin bad happening, right,

725
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: Jeff and I are Okay. We got Oregon Wisconsin, we

726
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: got Watford and Seton Hall, we got U C Irvine

727
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: and Kansas State. That's it. That's it. That's where we

728
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: wrapped it up, folks. We got March Madness starting tomorrow.

729
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: We all think Virginia is gonna win the title. We know,

730
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: we do, not chat and Blackjack. I think Virginia is

731
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: gonna win the title. Paul has Marshall, what is the

732
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: seed t I T tournament? I don't even know when

733
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: you said they were. Did you bet Marshall yesterday to

734
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: tournament game? In an n c A tournament game, they

735
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: pay the fucking same things. Well if you win, exactly.

736
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: So it's just like anything else in the world. Jeff,
