00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The Big Bets on Campus Podcast podcast podcast.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 3: Spreading the corn.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: Ten seconds of eating, they just go show up to

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: the basket. Under the basket, it's the droop for the

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: wind God. They go Amerracle, I'm.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: Just stop the water.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: Hit that one from the parking lot. Shuck it all

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: at Codge Basketball.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: It's not the size on the dog in the fight,

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: it's the size of the fight in the dog.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of the Big Bets on

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: Campus Podcast. I am your host for this Wednesday morning episode.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: I'm Jim Root and I of course am joined by

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: the rest of the three man weave. We have kay Meekewan,

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: we have Maddie Naples. Matt Cox down in Florida. Hopefully

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: that gives him more Elie insights into the college basketball

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: betting board, because of course that is what we do here.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: We are going to be talking Wednesday night college hoops,

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Thursday night college hoops, maybe a little Friday and Saturday,

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: but we'll leave that mostly to Stucky and the rest

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: of the BBOC crew for their Friday episode. And of

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: course we'll be dropping an episode like this every Wednesday

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: morning for the rest of the season. Talking about that

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: week slate giving you our usual segments. We've got live

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Dog of the Week, Blowout of the Week, trash Man

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: Pick of the week, Power Games of the Week, mid

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: major Games of the week, and of course a spotlight

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: section at the end. But let's get into it. Let's

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: get to live dogs. These guys don't get to talk

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: until I speak to them, until I let them, so

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: maybe I'll give them a chance. Here, where's mine?

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: O dog? Where's mine dog?

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: Last week? Kai, how about you give the recap? I

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: want to hear your voice.

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Well, Jim, we didn't do great last week on our

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: money line specials, our live Dogs of the week. George

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Washington was a winner, and that was endorsed by A

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Jim and apparently Matthew Cox, though we didn't have.

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: It in right.

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: I'm on the Colonial flag bear on this program, obviously

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: my pick.

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Another game that did hit was Quinnipiek, who took down Fairfield. However,

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: none of us officially endorsed that play, so we can't

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: take credit for it.

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: And we finally didn't say Fairfield was going to lose outright,

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: And of course they did. What do we doing?

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: And they did? Mercer is a failure, Mount Saint Mary's.

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: The Hedge was a failure. Southern Illinois, Georgetown, USC Upstate

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: all lost. In fact, most didn't cover. So not a

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: great picks a week for us fellas. But I'm sure

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it back, Jim. This week, we better

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: bounce back. That's what we do.

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: We got to be. We gotta be like Elastic, That's

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: what we do. Bounce's a rubber band baby bounce back

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: on Elastic is a young jock lyric. That is a

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: rap lyric. I'm very very I'm sure people can tell

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: by my voice that I am a great student of

59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: the rap game. All right, let's get into the games

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: for this week. Let's start with Wednesday Night. Got three

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: candidates listed here. We're going to discuss the ones we

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: think are most likely, and we'll close the segment by

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: giving our official debts. First when we got here, Saint

64
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: John's plus eight at Xavier, also looking at possibly Winterrop

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: plus six at Gardner, Web Holy Cross plus eight at Boston.

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: You let's start Matt with that power Conference battle. Saint

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: John's at Xavier. Maybe we get Pash Alexander back from

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: this before this game. Xavier is floundering. Can you talk

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: yourself into the red storm?

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: Certainly can and we get Justin Champagnye presumably healthy after

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: he played, and he played like the entire game against

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: Yukon over the weekend, that sixty three sixty loss at home,

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: but again highly competitive, just a game removed from another

74
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: competitive bout against Nova. Saying it all, you're the Johnnys

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: are undervalue. They're a good team. Don't love that two

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: key guys Kai their bookends, Champagne and the Pasha a

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: little bit banged, but but they're playing well well and

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: you're I think going to Xavier team.

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: That's reed. Let youn know Xavier's gonna aspin at home.

80
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I do like the Johnnys. Yeah, I'm taking the Johnnys

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: for sure. I think they are going to get this

82
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: one done. As we've said a couple of times, Xaviers

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: and Travis Steele free fall mode lost to Paul at home.

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: You lost to a banged up Seaton Hall team. Now

85
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: they did beat Yukon impressive win in their last outing,

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: but they're vulnerable. The Centas center has not been the

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: same recently. They have lost three times. Yeah, exactly right,

88
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: three outright losses at home for Xavier, So yeah, I'm

89
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: taking the Johnny's Here gym on Wednesday.

90
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: You two are so cute talking over each other trying

91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: to get the same points.

92
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: In and each other's sandwiches.

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. The other two we've got there

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: when winter up in holy Cross? Kay, are either of

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: those jumping out to you? Do you think you'll take

96
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: either one? I've got a fourth game on Wednesday that

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to officially endorse in a second.

98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: So I don't think I am. Jim went beat Gardner

99
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Webb in the first matchup, and they could be the

100
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: best Big Scout team. I don't know if Gardner was

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: playing well the holy Cross game. I included on there.

102
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: BU has lost to holy Cross this year. In last

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: season they played six times. It was three to three.

104
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: Holy Cross might have Bu's number, hence the interesting angle

105
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: here at a live dog factor. Maybe holy Cross just

106
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: owns Boston University.

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: I love that they played six times, last six times,

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: and that was COVID scheduling in the Patriot League. For

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: you folks, I'm actually gonna endorse Gardner Web. Their defense

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: is incredible. It's a top thirty Gardner Webb. Oh, what

111
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: is favored Winter is the six point dog. Wow, I'm

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: miss i miss inter that I'm saying. I'm so used

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: to Winter being such a power in that league that

114
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: they're never an underdoge. No, but that's why it's weird.

115
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: It's why it might be a good little moneylong moneyline special.

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Gym and win they win that game.

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: I believe they are tied for first in the Big

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: South with Longwood, the juggernaut that's under the operation.

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: They need long Wood to take another loss. I think

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: they're one back in the.

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the one they're a game back.

122
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, my official Wednesday endorsement. Guys, I gotta do it.

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: It's Manhattan over Fairfield. I'm sorry, Fairfield, but I think

124
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: you're losing out right again, like Tom's got the Jaspers

125
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: plus seven. Man, I knew you'd be on board with this.

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to do a lot of convincing to

127
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: get you on board. Manhattan over Fairfield.

128
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I hate Manhattan, but I like backing Manhattan

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 4: money line more because you you know, if they're gonna

130
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: they're not going to cover, right, They're gonna lose by twenty,

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: Like they're gonna blow a lead late or they're gonna win.

132
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: And sure enough, that's just kind of the volatile rollercoaster

133
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: that is the Manhattan Jaspers, who are poorly coached but

134
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: highly talented, and that's the outcome that you get with

135
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: such types of teams.

136
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: Mister McKinnon.

137
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good one. I'll give. I'll give one

138
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: more that I'm not officially endorsing, but I want to

139
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: at least let the people have the option of taking

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: it themselves. Saint Bonaventure plays five guys. They just swept

141
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: slow and now they got to play UMass. A team

142
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: that is erratic as can be, wants to run up

143
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: and down, going to try to speed that game up,

144
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: shoot a lot of threes. It's plus ten at Ken Palm.

145
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: Maybe there is some value there. Again, I'm not officially

146
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: endorsing it. We won't be discussing this one next week

147
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 2: when we recap. But if people listening like that potent

148
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: spot and situation, third game in five days for a

149
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: team that's playing no bench, then maybe maybe you got

150
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: some value with the minimum.

151
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, U Mass is a great like guess a high

152
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: variant scene that we like to endorse in these or

153
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: I guess fade in these underdog scenarios. I have one

154
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: for Thursday. None of the Wednesday wants to jump out,

155
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 4: I'll be I guess I'll be back in chalk on Wednesdays,

156
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: the Thursday day of the pups.

157
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: We're going Thursday. We're talking Thursday. Now that the four

158
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: listed in the outline here will see if Matt and

159
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: Kai and even myself have any non outline ones. But

160
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Arkansas State plus five at Texas State, southeastn Louisiana plus

161
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: six at Texas A and M Corpus Christy A Southland

162
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: A bout big one there, Idaho State plus seven against

163
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: Northern Colorado they're hosting them. I can't. I can't get

164
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: on board the Bengals. I hate that. I can't even

165
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: need to hate the Washington State plus twelve at UCLA.

166
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: All right, kay, I'm going to you first here which

167
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: one of these jumps out to you most? All right?

168
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: So, if Arkansas State is healthy, I don't mind that

169
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: play does Sills though keon Wesley both missed last game.

170
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Not the same team without Sills for sure. I'm endorsing

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Southeast in Louisiana plus six at A and M Corpus

172
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: CHRISTI Corpus Christy beat them at their place Southeast and

173
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Louisiana is a team that I thought might be the

174
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: second best team in the conference heading end of the year,

175
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: behind Nicolls State. They have a lot of juice, they

176
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. That's when I'm officially endorsing GYM.

177
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I thought about Idaho State, Matthew. They're three and one

178
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: against the spread last four, two outright wins. They're playing

179
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: better where we thought they would be in the right.

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: Let me clarify my take earlier. I'm just annoyed that

181
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: I was betting at the wrong time on the Ryan

182
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: Looney reversal, and sure enough had just happened a few

183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: weeks after i'd already written them off for dead. But yeah,

184
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 4: they're hard to trend up. Like I said, it's the

185
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 4: same team as last seasons.

186
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be this bad. Don't hate that one. Here's

187
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm staying out in that pack northwest neck of the woods.

188
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: No Kai, although this game I'm looking at is going

189
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: to be in the LA area at Washington State at UCLA.

190
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for big time hail Mary value with

191
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: the money line game and plus twelve, it's going to

192
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: translate to a pretty juicy money line price. The Bruins

193
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: have lost three of four. They do not look like

194
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: the same Bruins team. They're a little bit banged up,

195
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: and I think the size and interior physicality of the

196
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: of the Cougars can give them some issues on the road.

197
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: So I like data Rade Kyle Smith and company going

198
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: down to us what pulling out the upset.

199
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna endorse that one too, Matt, just

200
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: in terms of a pure value thing. Jim Hawk has

201
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: ankles are a wreck, both of his ankles. He shouldn't

202
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: be playing right now. Yeah, really struggling to move around,

203
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: and it's just not the same UCLA team right now.

204
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: They're not getting the fireball Johnny jews aing that esaw

205
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: on March last year, and Tiger Campbell hasn't been exactly

206
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: what we had hoped from him as the floor general

207
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: so far this year. So yeah, I'm with you. I

208
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: think Washington State has a chance to pull that off.

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: They're maybe out of the bubble discussion, so we don't

210
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: quite get the desperation, but I'm sure Kyle Smith can

211
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: at least talk them into you can get into discussion

212
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: if you sweep the LA schools and that's the first step.

213
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: That's what Oregon did, That's how they got back on

214
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: the map. So it's certainly possible teams on it before

215
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: anything else. On Thursday, jumping out to either of you

216
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: Kai kind of like your southeastn Louisiana pick. They lost

217
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: it home fifteen towards Christy Cow so maybe some retribution there.

218
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: Their defense isn't great. Also, guys, was he is not good?

219
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: They're not sorry, you're solid. Stop it's no, don't don't

220
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: go yet. Zero good wins zero they're about to have one. Guy,

221
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: I just look perc opportunity for them then a yeah, yeah.

222
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: Just when you think they can't, that's when they're gonna

223
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: get Jim.

224
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: Jim, I was tempted out of Eastern Illinois. Belmont's probably

225
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: gonna be catching thirty points in that game.

226
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: So I would beg you.

227
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Since they get removed from our blowout city section this

228
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: week back in the well, they just covered again at

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Austin p they're playing competitive in spire ball right now,

230
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: they're playing Belmont. Let's let's transition to that section, please, fine,

231
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: thank you, fine, all.

232
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: Right, before we get to before we do transition. Kyle's yeah,

233
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: let's actually what are we?

234
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: What are actually?

235
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm officially on Manhattan on Wednesday and Washington State on Thursday.

236
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: Kay, what do you got the Johnnies on Wednesday and

237
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Southeast Louisiana on Thursday. I'm gonna take Washington State. Kai

238
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Will add went through. I think it went through just

239
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: out of principle, the perennial program that they are. Even

240
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: though it's under a new regime, no longer under Pat

241
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: Kelsey's watch, I still think plus six, if you're getting

242
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: somewhere in that range from onneyline translated price, it's probably

243
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good bet.

244
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm glad somebody's biting that bullet, because, yeah, six feels

245
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: so high.

246
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: For that does feel high.

247
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean, look at me, I thought Gardner Webb was

248
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: the underdog.

249
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: That That's how I feel like, probably shadeed to like five.

250
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: But still I bet it's no lower than five. I mean,

251
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 4: I think the numbers would at that point. It's probably

252
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: gonna get bet back up and we'll probably get a

253
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: better price on that money line.

254
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, let's do it, blow out City. It's

255
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: time and we are starting with maybe the team that

256
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: should have been the headliner of the section the entire

257
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: conference season, that is Gonzaga. They are minus thirty at

258
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: Pepperdine on Wednesday. They won the first game by thirty four,

259
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe not enough, but there's a young

260
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: pepper nine teen that's banged up. Gonzaga is smoking opponents.

261
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: They won by thirty eight, thirty three, thirty thirty two,

262
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: forty four, thirty two, thirty four, twenty six all in conference. Yeah,

263
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: so that's where you get the Gonzaga plays nobody type

264
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: of narrative. But there's Byu in there, there's Saint Mary's

265
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: in there. Like this team has been a complete and

266
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: total juggernaut. Do we think they do it? Do you

267
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: think Kenzago wins by thirty plus on the road?

268
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do, Jim, especially especially of Yade Smith, Jodday Smith,

269
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: JD Smith. John is out, Johday Smith, He's out in

270
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the lineup absolutely. Keith Fisher's been out for a long time.

271
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: Yanzidek's been a little banged up. He's fully healthy. It's BIU,

272
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's not gonna be competitive. They're going to

273
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: crush him.

274
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 4: Kay I about your boy, Houston Mallett if pure future

275
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 4: Kolie rows in the making. Yeah, thirty one last game

276
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: twenty five before one of Lorenzo Romar's vaunted freshman class. No, Jim,

277
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: I'm not going to endorse peppered on. Yes, I think

278
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: it's Zego win's by fifty and it's not that close.

279
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 4: Freshman week, absolutely.

280
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Freshman the week in WCC. Yeah, fifty would be their

281
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: biggest margin yet. I don't know that's that seems like

282
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: a lot to ask. But maybe they get to Malibu

283
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: and they're feeling good about themselves and they just run

284
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: up there.

285
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

286
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 4: The laed well, yeah, I guess we need to hope

287
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: the LA distractions don't don't take them off the task

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: at hand, which is very a very serious one on that,

289
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: and that's winning by forty KI making making us a

290
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: business trip, as they say side.

291
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Just a quick sign note. Chet Holmgren's stats in league

292
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: play are absolutely ludicrous. He is shooting seventy two percent

293
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: from two, fifty eight percent from three, and he's blocking

294
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: the most shots in the conference. He's absolutely insane right now,

295
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent from three, get get out. That's not

296
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: fair that guy can do this.

297
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: I'm looking at he's looking at going to join the

298
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: what sixty seventy eighty club?

299
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: He continues this pace, he will be inventing that club.

300
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: The other one, will you, Matt? You kind of briefly

301
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: alluded to it. Belma Eastern Illinois. You think the Panthers

302
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: might run Solma moter here. You think they're going to

303
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: hang on.

304
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: And cover it against the Bruins, the fighting Roots, the

305
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: fighting Tony Romos, among other notable Eastern kind of an

306
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: NFL factory down there. They do a pretty good program,

307
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: football program. No, I don't think EIU will we'll get

308
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: this one out right, kaigh. But they have covered four

309
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: of five and they are playing competitive basketball under Marty

310
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: Simmons finally healthy.

311
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't think this will call off is for me.

312
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm scrapping this one. I'm in on Gonzaga, I'm out

313
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: on Belmont smacking yu. I think EU loses by twenty four,

314
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: well not two out of four, two out of four,

315
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: three out of five. But those those teams are right

316
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: stand Yeah, they're not. They're not that great Ohio Valley.

317
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: The competentions they're playing, they're playing injured teams, playing a

318
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: lot worse teams. Their first game is hot. First game

319
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: is a thirty four point margin. I think Belmont kills me.

320
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: I kind of think Eastern Illinois would loses by twenty

321
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: four to twenty five. Also, so twenty eight fields of

322
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: tad for me. But man, it's a big spread.

323
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to say I think they compete, like I

324
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: don't think they compete. I just don't think Belmont has

325
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: this game as like a yeah, I think they kind

326
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: of sleep off of this game, which is getting on

327
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: my twenty.

328
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Belmont needs to get up by forty to cover

329
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight because I think they were gonna like they

330
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: put their subs in. They've been back to door in

331
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: a few games so far this year, so yeah, I

332
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: would be wary of that. Maybe first half. How about that?

333
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: There you go.

334
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 4: One more to throw in here. Arizona's playing basically the

335
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: new version of Gonzaga under Tommy Lloyd. They are playing

336
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: Oregon State, not a good basketball team. That feels like

337
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: a blowout too. Although I don't like laying large numbers,

338
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: especially in Power Conference games. Wayne Tinkle and notorious for

339
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: rising up from the ashes when all have doubted him,

340
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: as we saw last season.

341
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: But man, this roster is so decrepit. I can't make

342
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: any case Organsta compete in this game. I'm gonna throw

343
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: a last second from my head. Arizona in this max,

344
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: I think they went by thirty plus spread five Arizona

345
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: one by twenty five in corballis so yeah, twenty eight

346
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: points spreading Conference Pac twelve. It's got close record.

347
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we should do some data digging on now and

348
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: that that's that sounds like a record of four touchdowns?

349
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: Good god, yeahs in a basketball game. Yeah, all right,

350
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: let's let's keep trucking. Let's get to power game of

351
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: the week start on Wednesday. We got a couple here,

352
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: Baylor at Texas Tech. Baylor is an underdog surprisingly here Lubbock, big,

353
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: big home spot. The home crowd has been terrific in Lubbock.

354
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: This isn't a Chris Beard homecoming game. But I have

355
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: a feeling we're going to get a very electric Red Raider.

356
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Fans there don't know what to do with Baylor right now.

357
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: With their injuries.

358
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: L J.

359
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: Cryer is still if he GIMPI. They lost Jonathan Chamwachatchua

360
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: aka John He's done for the season. Matthias gruesome knee injury.

361
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: So they got to play a lot of flow thamba,

362
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: maybe some small ball. Maybe they try to bring in

363
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: love Day the freshman. What do you see in this one?

364
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Kay?

365
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: Do you think the Red Raiders get their big home win?

366
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Gosh if you're going by ats marks, Yeah, twelve and

367
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: three against the spread home this year ten to two,

368
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: can spreading conference play overall tough matchup Baylor GEMPI again,

369
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: they had no sohon that first game against Texas Tech,

370
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: which they lost at Waco. The revenge factor scares me

371
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Baylor obviously has that on their mind

372
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: after losing at home, and they're still in play for

373
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: a one seed despite their injury, so there's definitely some

374
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: motivation here. I'm just scared to go against Texas Tech

375
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: at home, and I'm not sure what it looks like

376
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: about JTT. Maybe the over is a good play. Maybe

377
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: Baylor really rams with the tempo and plays at small

378
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: ball gym that you alluded to.

379
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: Hey, Ken mccohler is a game time decision. I think

380
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: that's going to be a big X factor for both

381
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: side and total. No matter which way you're leaning here,

382
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 4: I've tended to take Baylor as sort of a pseudo

383
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 4: revenge spot after text to Tech beat them in Waco.

384
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 4: But Kay, you mentioned this, like, I've run the data

385
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 4: on this this season and Kem Pom has his updated

386
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 4: home court advantage rankings text texts up to second and

387
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: they have just been incredible at home. I think that's

388
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: just a function of the crowd's amazing the way they

389
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: play feeds off that crowd, of the energy that it

390
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: infuses on defense. It's a hard place to get to

391
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 4: and it's apparently at altitude, as we discovered over the

392
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: weekend doing some random geography altitude queries with the Keem

393
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 4: Palm rabbit holes that we can.

394
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Get lost in.

395
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess I have to respect Texas Tech

396
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: at home here. I do Lean Bayro though I think

397
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 4: Baylor could surprise some people there.

398
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get the revenge for the home flip flop

399
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: there where they go on the road and win after

400
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: losing at home. I just I can't trust them without

401
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: knowing if Cryer is going to be back in there.

402
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: I think they need that triumvirate of guards with a

403
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: kiinjo with Crier with Flagler to open up the Texas

404
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: Tech defense. That is one of the best paint defenses

405
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: in the entire country, maybe the best one. So I'm

406
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: actually leaning Texas Tech at home. I think they get

407
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: that win and put Baylor in a tough spot coming

408
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: down the stretch here, trying to stay with Kansas for

409
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: the Big twelve title. All right, next game on Wednesday,

410
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: Seaton Hall at Yukon. More injury questions abound in this one.

411
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: We don't know about Bryce Aikin, still trying to get

412
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: back from his concussion that is really lingered for a

413
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: while now, very concerning for a guy that has has

414
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: had a lot of injury questions over his career. We've

415
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: got Seaton Hall that won in overtime the first one. Kai,

416
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: How are you looking at this game? Do you think

417
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: the Huskies get a little bit of revenge?

418
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: I tend to think they do with no Achin, He's enormous.

419
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: Aiken crushing in the first game, had twenty two points,

420
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: was really a savior in that one. Without Alexis Yetna

421
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: in the lineup for Seaton Hall, Yukon is a team

422
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: that st doesn't give me. The woman fuzzies, the Dan

423
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: Hurley sideline antics, Matt Frankly are getting a little bit old.

424
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean that guy's one of the biggest curmudgeons I've

425
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: ever seen in the sport, and.

426
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: He's getting out technical is at bad times. It's not

427
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: just like he's entertaining, it's it's like actively harmful.

428
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: He's the worst coach in terms of ref complaining I've

429
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: ever seen in my entire adult life.

430
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: But how coming said that.

431
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: Though without Achen hating in Gearge Yukon yep, I canaink

432
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: it's a little short, to be honest, I think if

433
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: it's again applying the if the ken Pom projection of

434
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: minus five, it lines up with the odds makers opener.

435
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: I think I'll probably be husky backer here.

436
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: Interesting because you thought ten was a little too high

437
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: for Seedon haul at Nova, right, So you're kind of

438
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: saying you got Nova and Yukon similarly.

439
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: Priced Nova and you constantly are priced.

440
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.

441
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 4: I think Ukon's really good despite the early stuff and

442
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 4: some of their recent efforts. I think they're really good.

443
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: It's also just a matchup issue, I think for saying.

444
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: All they're a frustrating team, they're they're top twenty in Kimpom,

445
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: but still their wins are not that great. Conference play,

446
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: haven't beat anybody truly a lead yep.

447
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: I Also, I don't know if I totally agree in

448
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: the matchup. I think the key to frustrating Yukon is

449
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: being able to guard to Nogo one v one and

450
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: forcing the guards to make plays and not letting them

451
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: get into against rotating, rotating defenses. So with obi Agu

452
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: there and even Tyree Samuel, I think they've got a

453
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: couple of bodies to throw at to Nogo that could

454
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: frustrate him, make his life a little bit difficult one

455
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: v one and avoid having to send double teams. So

456
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't have a strong take there. I think the

457
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: numbers about right, all right, I got can buy that.

458
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: I guess I'm looking at from the other side of

459
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 4: the coin where I think that the is this similarity

460
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: and Rosster Construction Wings frontline. We'll pose a burden on

461
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: Seat and Halt to score as well, especially without Achin.

462
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just a great case for the argument of

463
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 2: the under.

464
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: Out live on the show.

465
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: That's good.

466
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like hunder bom lock it in.

467
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: All right, Big one on Thursday here in the Big Ten,

468
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: especially for the road team Michigan. They're headed to Iowa Wolverines.

469
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: We thought they'd vaulted themselves into the tournament with a big,

470
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: big win against Purdue. They blew them out, vaulted themselves

471
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: into the top thirty in the net, became a Q

472
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: one win for North Carolina. Everything was rosy for the Wolverines.

473
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: Then they lost at home to Ohio State. Couldn't keep

474
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: the momentum going. They got to figure it out on

475
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: the road. Iowa one of the best home teams in

476
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: the entire country. They went three straight halves of basketball,

477
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: scoring fifty plus. They they put a one hundred and

478
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: seventeen I think on Maryland put up almost one hundred

479
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: against So Matt can you can Michigan stop that offense

480
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: enough to get a victory here?

481
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: I certainly have concerns Michigan's defense, but I'm highly confident

482
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: it's more competent than both Maryland and Nebraska, and I

483
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: think Michigan can at least put some pressure on Iowa's defense,

484
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 4: which has been better. But I mean Maryland Nebraska the

485
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: problems that they just got down big early and then

486
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 4: there's never a chance I Michigan I think still has

487
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: you know, they still pack that punch. But yeah, Kai,

488
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: this's just it's an erratic team. I think Michigan will

489
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: need to settle on what they are, and that's a

490
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: good team, but a highly erratic one because of the

491
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: supporting cast, which is odd because you think a guy

492
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: like you're a team that, like Eli Brooks just the

493
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 4: epitome of like a rock steady engine type dude. But

494
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: it's really been about Devonte Jones and Calob Houston and

495
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: the other guys not name Hunter Dickinson, Eli Brooks that

496
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 4: have been up and down all year and that's unfortunate.

497
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: So I guess where does that leave us for this game.

498
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 4: I kind of think they play well all things considered.

499
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: They needed to say in the tournament picture, so there's motivation.

500
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: But Iowen Homes mentioned this nine to five at home

501
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: is a favorite this year and their top twenty right now.

502
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: Iowa Kim Palm, the net that blew out Wind basically

503
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: took them to another level again. See they happened a

504
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: few times, but zhe to five against Q one. Their

505
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: resumes a very strange resume for Iowa. Are they super elite?

506
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. I'm not sure you need to be. Yeah,

507
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you need to be against Michigan this year.

508
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: With the issues they're having at home, I probably wouldn't

509
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: fade them. It's my takeaway.

510
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I'm at. I don't think they're anywhere

511
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: near as good as the analytical rankings have them, because

512
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: I think they're that high mostly due to blowing bad

513
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: teams out. But I don't want to get in the

514
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: way of the juggernaut at home. The offense is clearly

515
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: clicking really well right now. Michigan not a team I trust.

516
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: If this gets up to seven, though, I might, I

517
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: might step in on the Wolverines. That'd be'd be a

518
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: little high. I know what we're seeing is Michigan's not

519
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: that good a team. Isn't that good when Eli Brooks

520
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: is your second best player? Yeah problem, No shit, he's

521
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: a great fifth best player.

522
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Oh that is.

523
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 2: That is wonderful. But all right, that's it. Let's move

524
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: on to our next section, which is the mid major

525
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: game of the week, and we're starting with a big

526
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: one on Thursday in the West Coast San Francisco. Losing

527
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: it home to Portland took them dangerously close to the

528
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: cut line. They did get a big win at Santa

529
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: Clara to bounce back a little bit, but this is

530
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: the big one. If they're able to get this one,

531
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: they're going to start to feel actually good about their

532
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: turney chances. Rather than coin flippy battling for second in

533
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: the WCC, you want to stay on the opposite side

534
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: of the tournament picture as Gonzaga, the one Sea Gonzaga.

535
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 2: So all these teams plus Santa Clara are in the

536
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 2: mix for two, three, four. So this is a big

537
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: one to get that two seed. Matt, which way do

538
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: you see this one? Tilting?

539
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: Lean Don's?

540
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 4: But I think I always lean Don's when we talk

541
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: Don's v WCC opponents, specifically Santa Clara and Saint Mary's.

542
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: I guess you why you find out that basically the

543
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: Tier one B of the WCC KAI home court not

544
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 4: going to be a lot two teams are both in

545
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 4: the Bay Area. You look at both these teams on paper,

546
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 4: I'd argue, Actually, I'm not sure I'm considering arguing are

547
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: they over valued? Saint Mary's twenty it's San Francisco twenty seventh.

548
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: I don't rich. I think Saint Mary's awesome, No, but

549
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: five is too many if that's the spread. I think

550
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: it's San Francisco for sure we'll cover that. They're up

551
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty three in the first game. They just kind of

552
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: blew it and they're at home. Huge revenge here at

553
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: Matthias Toss twenty seven and twelve last game. He's a

554
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: guy I thought they'd have no problem defending because of

555
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: their size. I'm sure that's going to be point number

556
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: one on the scouting report in.

557
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: This game, yep, got to figure out how to defend

558
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: the post. That is that is enormous against Saint Mary's.

559
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: A little bit like what I mentioned with Yukon. If

560
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 2: you can't defend the post without doubling the Saint Mary's

561
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: ball movement in just intelligent passing will cut you up.

562
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 2: So they've got to figure out how to guard Toss

563
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: one D one there. I'm like in San Francisco too, guys,

564
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit high. I think these

565
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: teams are basically equal, So maybe two and a half

566
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: for home. Five's too much, That's what I'm saying.

567
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I win and get some in basically all right, Yeah.

568
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: As long as they don't take their bad losses.

569
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

570
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: Okay. The other two in mid Major Game of the

571
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 2: Week starting Towson at UNC Wilmington these are the top

572
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: two teams in the CAAA, just like everyone predicted coming

573
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: into the year. Ha, not exactly. UNC Wilmington currently sitting

574
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: in the top the league at twelve and two. Tiger's

575
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: chasing them at ten and three. They could tie them

576
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: in the lost column with a win here.

577
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: Kay.

578
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: Do you think the road favorite Tigers get the victory

579
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: they need? Yeah?

580
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: I do. And this is a similar situation to San

581
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: Frian Saint Mary's in which UNC Willington won on the

582
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: road against towsand after being down, Thousand was up twelve

583
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: points in the second half and blew this game. Classic Wilmington.

584
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: I hain'ted the much better team. I think towsand does

585
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: get the cover year in the win. I love Towson here.

586
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: It's like my favorite, better than everything we discussed in

587
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 4: this entire rundown today. I'm not like completely shorting the

588
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 4: UNC Wilington magical carpet ride or whatever, but I just

589
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 4: think thousand's that good. Like I said, you got Cam

590
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: Holden back who's playing well, and then he just got

591
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 4: Terry Nolan back. More recently, he's been playing very well,

592
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 4: coming off the blowout win at Elon when they got

593
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: to rest amongst of those dudes. You get three four

594
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: days to gear up and prep for the team that

595
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 4: beats you at your building in overtime.

596
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

597
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 4: I think tousand's ready for this one. I think they

598
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 4: get it done pretty commitcingly.

599
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope this is like minus three Towsand with

600
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: that Matt you mentioned, they beat Elon by thirty six,

601
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: and I think that they have boosted their efficiency margin

602
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: just enough that pushed this to four. That's where ken

603
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: Bom has it. But I'm hoping we can see minus three.

604
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 2: Wilmington's definitely better now than they were in the non

605
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: con so perhaps they shaved that line down a little bit.

606
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think Towson rules in this one.

607
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: We're all board the Tiger train, guys. I love it.

608
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: Last one in this section, we've got Oral Roberts headed

609
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: to the North Dakota State. This is the battle four

610
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: second in the Summer League, not to battle for the

611
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: top of the league because the jack Bunnies of South

612
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: Dakota State have been too good. Kai, what do you

613
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: think here? Do you think North Dakota State gets the

614
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: win at home or do you think Oral Bobby goes

615
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: into their arena and gets.

616
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: The w our third straight road foot clop here Jim

617
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: North Kota State one by one on the road againsa

618
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: Or Roberts once again a huge battle second place on

619
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: the line. I like both teams. I like both teams

620
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot. I lean towards Oil Roberts because I think

621
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: I take either one of these teams as a dog

622
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: against the other. But it's certainly a toss up.

623
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm curious where it actually opens. I got to

624
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: assume it's within two points here the direction I'm hoping

625
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: it gets. It won't be pushed favored, right, yeah, but

626
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 4: by not by a lot though. I think we have

627
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: them valued a little bit higher than the market.

628
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: It's been on them like every game.

629
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying.

630
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: So I keep saying that kaid of but like, I

631
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: don't know, I feel like the market's just like now,

632
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: the buys aren't that good, and I'm like, no, they are.

633
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: I think it's within three points two three points inather direction.

634
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm hoping the market takes it one way to the

635
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: extreme and I'll come back on the other just on

636
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: a pure value perspective.

637
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 4: So kind of a lame take from me. Jim all

638
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: things considered, But that's where I'm at.

639
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time anticipating Max asmis getting

640
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: swept by a team in this league that isn't South

641
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: Dakota State. So I would lean towards Oil Roberts a

642
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: little bit on the spot aspect. The offense is so

643
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: freaking good, and North Dakota State's defense has not been

644
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: as sharp as it's been in the past, despite having

645
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: basically everybody back from last year. So a little bit

646
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: of a lean to Oral Bob, But I think Matt's

647
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: point about value is notable. If you get three to

648
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: one side or the other, you're probably you're probably going

649
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: to do decent long term. Okay, next section, second to

650
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: last one, we've got the trash man pick of the week.

651
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: The trash man pick of the week. I'm the trash man.

652
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: Just throw me the trash.

653
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: You're garbage and you know it, totally unreliable, undependable. That's it.

654
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: You've been told off.

655
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: How do you like that?

656
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: We haven't quite renamed it yet, but it's close. This

657
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: is the IUPUI section. They're playing Robert Morris this week.

658
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: IUPUI is officially down to six guys. That's right. They

659
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: have one guy on the bench every game. That's it.

660
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: They don't have walk ons, they don't have injured guys.

661
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: It's just coaches and then one other dude. They were

662
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: competitive this week. They nearly beat UI C. They had

663
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: the late cover against Fort Wayne Cleveland State gave him

664
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: the business a little bit. But they've at least shown

665
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: to be somewhat more competitive.

666
00:29:59,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: KUI.

667
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: Do you think they're able to do that against Robert Morris. Yeah,

668
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous.

669
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: They're two and one against to spread the last three

670
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: with six guys. I'm frustrated because I bet all three

671
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: times against them, so I'm one and two. They haven't

672
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: scored sixty points one time.

673
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

674
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: They have scored sixty points one time all season against

675
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: d one opponent. They're just a gross, gross team. Robert

676
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Morris won this first game by seventeen. I think they

677
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: beat him by over fifteen in this game. But like,

678
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: this is one of the teams I trust the lease

679
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: in all of college BASKETBA Robert Morris, so I probably

680
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: will not be fading IPU. I have fourth time.

681
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, IPUI is just the point now where like I

682
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: don't know if they're not improving based on their recent results.

683
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: Just they've been they haven't gotten any worse than they

684
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 4: already were in the market, kept degrading their value. So

685
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: that's kind of where you're at with the IPU. I think, no,

686
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: I'm not looking to counter punch. And they also to

687
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: ride like a potential IEPU I hot straight to the

688
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: finish line when they have six players. It's just so

689
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 4: sad seeing the bench with just open chairs.

690
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: When that guy goes to check in and it's empty,

691
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: it's empty.

692
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 4: If they're soliciting students to try out for the team,

693
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: they should just solicit students to fill in open spots

694
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: on the bench, just so at least like it looks

695
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: esthetically like they have a four roster, Like you want

696
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 4: to go on a.

697
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: Road trip to Pittsburgh and sit on the bench.

698
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 4: Send us an email.

699
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm going to say, if they

700
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: don't cover at Robert Morris a team like you said, Ky,

701
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: that we don't trust, we're renaming the section. The PU

702
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: corner is the IUPU corner, So that is on the line.

703
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: It is a big game on Thursday, Folks tune into

704
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: that one to see if we get a renamed section

705
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: here all right, last one, the spotlight section. We're looking

706
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: at some teams that are streaking, not without their clothes, Kai,

707
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: you silly goose. Covers, non covers, overs, unders, teams that

708
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: have been on a streak. Let's start with covers, the

709
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: good ones. These are the teams that have been on

710
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: fire against the spread. Jacksonville, the Dolphins down in the

711
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: Ason with their new coach Jordan Mincy Off, the Florida

712
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: staff a row ten and two their last twelve. How

713
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: about the Dolphins.

714
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm shocking, That's all I gotta say, Jim, I knew

715
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: they were good, but ten and two last twelve, Wow? Okay, sure.

716
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: And there who we thought would be one of the

717
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: best players, Tommy Brunner, transferming UC Upstate, hasn't played since

718
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: January eighth.

719
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really good. Coach, he is.

720
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: I met this before on our Field sixty eighth show.

721
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: He's like BFFs with Valentine from Loyola and one of

722
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 4: their up and coming coach too, and they kind of

723
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: all share tips of their trade. And I think we

724
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: have a reason to believe this guy knows what he's doing.

725
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: The defensive game plans he has are incredible, Like he

726
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: does an awesome job on defense. Matt, your beach boys,

727
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: they have found their own beach. They're ten straight covers.

728
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: Holy cow. We bet this team so constantly, like two

729
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: and three years ago, and publicly ridiculed for it over

730
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: and over, and now suddenly they're a juggernaut and we're

731
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: not really making any money off it. This is frustrating.

732
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: No, the only time we've bet them is against UCLA,

733
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 4: when like our relative ratings sort of lean them as

734
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: a feisty dog and what looked like a throw a

735
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: spot against the Bruins. But then they just carry that

736
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 4: into the Big West and are running a rough shot

737
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: over these teams. The Big West is weird this year,

738
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: kind of like what's one of the cover The perennial

739
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: contenders are not as dominant as they once were, and

740
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: it's kind of left a vacancy at the top of

741
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 4: the total poll.

742
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: And the beach is season.

743
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: They got talent, they got length, they're playing well.

744
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mat, I actually did take them once in this

745
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: cover streak. I had a minus ten against cal Poly.

746
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: They were up three with three minutes left and closed

747
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: the Man, those are fun to be on the side of.

748
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: It never happens feels and far between. Look, thankfully Beach

749
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: did it for for me that day. Portland is also

750
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: on a little three straight cover six and one their

751
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: last seven, ten and two their last twelve. Man, this

752
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: this program has gone from laughing stock auto fade with

753
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: Terry Porter to wow, Shantay Leggins. He's got a moving

754
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: forward guy. So tip of the cap to the pilots.

755
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has something like four times as many excuse me,

756
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: not quite sorry, that was a mistake, Well, four times

757
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: many wins as Porter had his last three years in

758
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: the WCC. Porter heads seven overall, Legan's alreadys four.

759
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's bad. The the Porter earro was sad.

760
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: It's nice to see that program bouncing upwards. The non

761
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: cover streaks we've got Sacramento State in the big sky Man,

762
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how bad they have been.

763
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 4: I know, I think they've actually played better than this streak,

764
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: Like they've barely not covered in a lot of these.

765
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it could be wrong.

766
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: Last ten, you keep trying to talk yourself into that play.

767
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not Yeah, no, not doing that. NC

768
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: State the worst team in the ACC dead last six

769
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: straight non covers one in eight in their last nine.

770
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: Is not a team you want to be backing at

771
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: this point. Oregon State seven straight non covers, Matt, No,

772
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: you you threw them into the blowout section, and maybe

773
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: justifiably so because they haven't been able to hang with anybody.

774
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean fadom now because I've had When I

775
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: get to the Commerce Tournament, wing Tinkle won't do the

776
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: gotcha thing where he all of a sudden turns his

777
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: crap team into a moderately competitive the team when they

778
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: start winning games and they actually think should get healthier

779
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: by that time. So fade Oregon State, now get your

780
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: licks in now swinging the piata now two hundred and

781
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: thirty first in kempom Oregon State.

782
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: It's bad. It's really bleak. I can't believe how far

783
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: they have fallen. All right, let's go to some total streaks.

784
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: Wrap it up with that. In the Overworld, unsurprisingly, we've

785
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: got a Summit League team, definitely, Matt. As you said,

786
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: you wrote in your Summit League preview for the season

787
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: zero in on overs in league play, South Dakota has

788
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: four straight overs. I didn't think this would go this

789
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: way when they got Xavier fuller back because of his

790
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: on off influence. But Man four straight for the Coyotes

791
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 2: possibly worth riding there because they're playing faster and everybody

792
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: else in that conference can score, So keep an eye

793
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: out on the Coyotes.

794
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 4: It's I mean, efficiency is the key in that conference,

795
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 4: like pace matters, but I just think teams are so

796
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 4: good offensively and so poors defensively.

797
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the recipe.

798
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: YEP. A similar team, they're Matt Southern Utah. They are

799
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: four straight overs in the Big Sky, nine and two

800
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: in their last eleven. They have really broken out the

801
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 2: track shoes in league play. Kai. I've been on a

802
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: couple of these overs, not all of them, and I

803
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: wish I had, wish i'd been auto betting that.

804
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred points last game. One hundred and ninety

805
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: five hundred ninety five points in a game. That's good

806
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: for the.

807
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: Over regulation too, right, no overtime regulations.

808
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there give up a lot of threes too, So

809
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: like if they're up big, they're just going to kind

810
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: of like they're going to allow their opponent to you know,

811
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: claw back with some bogus scoring streaks of their own,

812
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: which is a great over team, right.

813
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: That's what you want. Yep. Absolutely two others UAB and Valpo.

814
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: Valpa not playing any defense without Thomas Kithier, though he

815
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: is back in the lineup, So be a little bit

816
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: cautious auto fading that one, you a b I like

817
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: this one because they just press non stop. They give

818
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: up open shots if you beat the pressure, they get

819
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: layups if you don't. So there's gonna be a lot

820
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: of scoring in their games, a lot of possessions, a

821
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 2: lot of efficiency. This one makes sense.

822
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 4: They can't offense. Looks pretty ugly, but they take weirdly

823
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 4: early and bad.

824
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: Shots, and that leads to long rebounds and kind of

825
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: help their opponent get easy leak outs and transition. The

826
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: games are just really helter skelter, and so I think

827
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: that results in an inflated possession environment, which is always

828
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: definitely over Yeah.

829
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 2: I took some unders on them early in the season,

830
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: and I think the first halfs would go okay, but

831
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: then just the second half they pressed till the very end,

832
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: even with backups, even against backups, So you don't get

833
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: the like five points in the final three minutes from

834
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: walk ons that you typically get. You're getting fifteen points

835
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: in the final three minutes no matter what they're playing.

836
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 4: Rice on Thursday first game was eighty five to eighty

837
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 4: seventy of your possession. So listening to this before Thursday,

838
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: which you should be, you all should be maybe a

839
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: little bit of a repeat there.

840
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: You're never dead in a UAB over all, right. And

841
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: then the unders Kai a darling that you had a

842
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: strong picked up on. Here Austin p talk about your

843
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 2: pee boys.

844
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve and one to the under last thirteen games.

845
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: They always go under. They can't score, and they play

846
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: pretty good defense and they play super slow, so their

847
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: money money.

848
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 2: This is a coach k assistant that came in for

849
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: some reason has has smacked the breaks in league play

850
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: like they ran a little bit in non conference. They

851
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: have not at all in league play, and it's been

852
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 2: wonderful for the under. Another one Georgia State thirteen straight

853
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: thirteen straight unders. Just cover your eyes, bet Georgia State

854
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: unders and oh you're up thirteen units over the past

855
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 2: four weeks. That sounds fun, doesn't it.

856
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 4: Mathias, They take terrible shots and those shots don't go in,

857
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: which is helping. But I think most notably they have

858
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 4: like a stellar interior defense with Jalen Thomas and uh Aliel.

859
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 4: How do you say the last time, Jim, I think

860
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: you okay, It's it's a silent end.

861
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they are.

862
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 4: You cannot score inside against them, and on the other end,

863
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 4: your edge, it's going to throw up terrible late shot

864
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: clock garbage and it won't go in. So I definitely

865
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 4: buy this as a a sustainable street to continue.

866
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: They're the most contested jumpers with heels on the three

867
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: point line in the entire country.

868
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: They're tenth in offense in the in the Sunbelt, and

869
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: they're by far the best defensive team.

870
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, a mile. Last one Central Connecticut, which I did

871
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: not expect. I thought the new coach Patrick Sellers would

872
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: run up and down a little bit with all their freshmen.

873
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: They've got some youth and depth on that team. But

874
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: they've got two straight unders and eleven of the past

875
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: thirteen have gone under. We saw the game with Wagner

876
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: where Wagner was up huge and then they stopped scoring

877
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: in Central Connecticut held them to a one hundred and

878
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: six point game. So definitely a team to keep an

879
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: eye on for potential unders.

880
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you've no omber time. Their last three games,

881
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: fifty seven sixty one sixty two possessions. The pace is

882
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: just grinding in their games.

883
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: Yep, not looking to run whatsoever. All right, that wraps

884
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: it up. Guys, keep an eye on those trend teams

885
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: of course, maybe sneak in a few of those at

886
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: the end of every episode. We won't belabor them, but

887
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: just keep you updated on some teams that are really

888
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: streaking there. I think that's a good angle. But thank

889
