Speaker 3: Spreading the corn.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Ten seconds remaining.

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 4: We just go throw it up to the basket.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 3: Under the basket, it's the group for the wind God.

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: A miracle up water hid that one from.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 5: The parking lot.

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast, presented by

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Bett MGM. I'm your host, Jim Root. I'm joined by

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: the rest of the three man. We've Kay McEwan and

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Matt Cox. Every Wednesday, we'll be coming to your airwaves

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: dropping a new BBOC episode talking all things betting in

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: the world of college hoops. Of course, we will stick

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: to our normal cadence here if you're familiar with it.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: We talk live dogs of the week, we talk blowouts

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: of the week. We talk some power conference games, some

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: big showdowns, some mid major showdowns. In the end, will

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: zero in on a little bit of a trend, some

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: some spotlight section is what we call it. Matt Kai,

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: let's just get right into it, fellas. Let's talk live

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: Dog of the week. And I'm excited about this one

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: because I think there's a ton of options here. I

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: think you can go through Wednesday and Thursday Slate and

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: even Friday and find a billion of them.

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 6: Where's mine?

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 6: Where's mine? Une?

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: But we're gonna try to focus in. We'll start with Wednesday,

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: matt I'm going right to you for your alma mater.

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: They are hosting UNC the preseason number one, but Kenpom

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: has this as a six point line in favor of

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: your Hoosiers. That give the Heels some value there.

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 5: Have you seen you and see play any defense this

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: year that gives you hope or evidence that they're going

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: to actually defend any especially upfront, especially away from the ball.

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: My goodness, they're off All defense is terrible. I know

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: it's a high line, at least on paper. If the

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 5: opener does align with kem pom KaiA at min six,

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 5: I mean it's probably a little bit lower, but not much. Man.

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 5: UNC's got some real issues and going on the road

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 5: to Assembly Hall and a Ruckus, we need to prove

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: it to everyone that we're going to be elite this year.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 5: Indiana home crowd, I would stay way away from UNC.

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 7: I'm taking them. I'm taking you and see here's why,

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 7: Matthew and I love your Hoosiers, I really really do.

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 7: But UNC is still among the most talented teams in

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 7: the country, and they can absolutely win this game. I

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 7: saw them live in Portland. Yeah, there's a lot of

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 7: question marks, but also they probably should have been three

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 7: and oh the Iowa State game, they were up by

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 7: seven with under five to play, looked in control, blew

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 7: it down the stretch. The Alabama game, they had multiple

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 7: chances to win that game.

56
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 3: It was just poor execution. Jim.

57
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 7: The problem is Caleb Love. The guy is crazy. He

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 7: makes terrible decisions. Hubert Davis frankly not a great end

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 7: game coach right now. For me, he's not making the

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 7: right calls. He's given the ball the wrong people. But

61
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 7: I think that gets ironed out, and I think there's

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 7: always a chance with this much talent to pull an upset.

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 7: It would make too much much sense for you and

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 7: c to win here.

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, these teams are way too close to equals for

66
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: six points. For me, I'm taking you and see if

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: it's six, I'll take the spread it. I will take

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: the value on the money line. Love and R. J.

69
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: Davis are shooting twenty six percent combined from three. I

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: don't think that continues. I know Love takes some terrible shots,

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: but part of that is taking a billion awful ones

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: in a four overtime game against Alabama, And I also

73
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: think losing both of those games, going one and two

74
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: in Portland can serves kind of a wake up call

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: for them. They've clearly been below their potential that everybody

76
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: thought coming in, and maybe they were too lofty in

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: preseason rankings, including our own we didn't have the number one.

78
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: But I just I don't think this team is hopeless,

79
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: a total disaster like Kaysa. I think the one and

80
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: two is a little rude or cruel reflection on how

81
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: they actually played out in Portland. So Matt, I'm taking them. Sorry,

82
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm taking your heels. I'm taking the heels against your

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: Hoosiers as well, losers both you So all right? A

84
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: couple others that I want to circle on Wednesday, and

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Kyle'll let you pick the one you like the most.

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Here we've got Providence going to TCU, and again tc

87
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: will get Mike Miles back, but Providence has been awesome

88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: as an underdog under Ed Cooley, so potentially something there.

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: Sanford is heading to DePaul a Sanmford team we were

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: kind of high on coming to the preseason. They're coming

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: off a weird D two loss without their two best players.

92
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: But we think those two, Ques Glover and Jermaine Marshall

93
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: will be back in the lineup, and De Paul has injuries.

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: And then also South Alabama plus ten headed to FAU,

95
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: really talented Jaguars team and FAU has some injury questions.

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: Lurking switch one of these really jumps out to you.

97
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the three, it's got to be Sanford, But

98
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 7: you have to know that Glover and Marshall in the lineup.

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 7: They literally just lost to an Naia team without the

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 7: two in the lineup. Now, part of that is because

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 7: Bucky McMillan's style is so variant, it's very prone to

102
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 7: weird results. He does play so fast and that makes

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 7: a good live dog here Matt against DePaul. If those

104
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 7: two guys are in the lineup, I can absolutely see

105
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 7: Sanford winning. It's not like the Paul is a world beater.

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 7: Binding Matt Streatch to the imagination Providence worries me a

107
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 7: little bit. I think TC might have woken up with

108
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 7: the Iowa win, not looking to fade them many times soon,

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 7: especially outright in South Alabama. Kind Of the same thing

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 7: for Atlanta kind of scares me.

111
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 5: Met Uh, yeah, but they have a high variance upside. Man,

112
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: I might arrive with the Jags here. I just think

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: it's a good, high variance team, and I know if

114
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: I U's been awesome, I think you're going to get

115
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: pretty good value there. To Paul, I think it's actually

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 5: a good bed to take Sanford too, But you got

117
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 5: to make sure those bigs are Backford, or you got to

118
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: make sure the bigs.

119
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: Are out for De Paul.

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 5: They've been a different team without Agenda and an A upfront.

121
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 5: So without them, I think I like Sanford and I

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 5: think I'm definitely going to take USA.

123
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Matt, I like them both too.

124
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: The big thing for De Paul, like you said, the

125
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: Biggs as of their last game against Texas A and

126
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: m nick on Genda was still in a cast on

127
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: his wrist. You Orna, the other big man was still

128
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: in a walking boot. I have a hard time believing

129
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: either or back. Potentially in no way, both are back,

130
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: I would think, and probably not full strength. Even if

131
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: a NA gets out there gets out of the walking boot.

132
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: So I'll take Sanford. It reads like the the two

133
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: key pieces out for them. Marshall and Glover were a

134
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: little bit disciplinary and kind of bucky getting getting his

135
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: ducks in a row in the locker room. So I

136
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: think they'll be out there and I like that one.

137
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: And then South Alabama talent I think can play up

138
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: as an underdog, so I think at least they cover

139
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: and we'll see about an actual outright win.

140
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 7: I believe South Alabama is five and hour or six

141
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 7: and ozer against the spread. They are one of the

142
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 7: best ATS teams in the country right now.

143
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: Keep it rolling, Jags, of course, go USA. We're recording

144
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: this before USA plays, Yes, so we'll see if this

145
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: age is well or poorly. Let's go to Thursday. I'm

146
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: going to go back to you because I think you

147
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: have stronger feelings. On Thursday Slate, We've got Arizona headed

148
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: to Elevation to take on Utah Creighton as a surprising

149
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: plus eight dog at Texas in the new Moody Center,

150
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: Oakland plus seven at Cleveland State, a team we've thought

151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: about kicking down the well. Plenty of other options at

152
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: Pacific plus seven at UC Davis, Chicago State plus seven

153
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: and Petune Cookman. I love the outright dog Slate this week.

154
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: What are you zeroing in on here.

155
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 7: Jim, I'm gonna agree with Oakland here against Cleveland State.

156
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 7: I know Oakland sucks. We've probably been documented talking about

157
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 7: that in shows. They've been terrible this year, but this

158
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 7: is a big spread. Cleveland State, you know, a solid

159
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: team map, but not a team that's gonna run out

160
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 7: the score on you by any imagination. Oakland can score.

161
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 7: That's that's without a doubt. So a team that can

162
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 7: score as a live dog.

163
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: I like that.

164
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 7: There's a lot of points. This feels like a game

165
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 7: they win after having some weird results early on.

166
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: In Chicago State. I like them as well.

167
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 7: Matt Petune Cookman has been terrible, been way worse than

168
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 7: we expected this season, relatively speaking in Chicago State has

169
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 7: actually won some games. So I'm going with jerld Gillion

170
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 7: there and the Cougars.

171
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: I like Oakland a lot, and I've said that pretty

172
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: much every game this year as I've hemorrhaged money backing them.

173
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's jumping the gun.

174
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 5: They might be a team you want to look to

175
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: back more in conference play, but plus seven, it's Cleveland State.

176
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't know.

177
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 5: I think Oakan's some more talented team. I don't think

178
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: they're outcome coach. I don't think they're out manned up front.

179
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: And while they are a little banged up and it's

180
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: why they've played poorly, I guess is probably the right spitte.

181
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: You know, a great bi low spot if you're looking

182
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: for stock trading parallels here.

183
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do not like Cleveland State as a favorite

184
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: this year. I think that is like a mucket up

185
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: defensive squad that's going to be pretty solid as an underdog.

186
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: I just can't get on board with a world where

187
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: they're that much better than Oakland this year, considering the

188
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: talent Oakland has. I know Rocket Watts might be a

189
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: net negative everywhere he goes, but man, Oakland should be

190
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: competing at the very least and winning that game in

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: my mind, so I'm adding both Oakland and Chicago State.

192
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm in agreeance with you guys there. I'm not brave

193
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: enough to do the Utah one, Matt, even though we

194
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: do love our utes, don't.

195
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: We eats all the way? Kyler good, trust us, trust us.

196
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, Arizona Arizona elevation, that's probably too much.

197
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 3: Still on the fence, Matt. I know you've got one

198
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: last last week.

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: And then just to reiterate the baby Blue Jays of

200
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Creighton a big darling for people out on the island

201
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: into Maui. But maybe there's some island hangover going to

202
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: play that intense ball pressure of Texas and there's still

203
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: a very young squad that Creighton team a little bit

204
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: prone to turnover so far, especially Arthur Kaluma. I don't

205
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't love that spot for Creighton. I think I

206
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: think Texas would be my look that I don't think

207
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Crayighton win's outright maybe covers. But all right, let's recap

208
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: everything we took here in the section. I was very aggressive,

209
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: so I went with North Carolina, Sanmford, South Alabama. Those

210
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: are all Wednesday, and then Oakland and Chicago State on Thursday. KI,

211
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: would you take?

212
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you and c Oakland and Chicago State. So three

213
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 7: of your five there, Jim, I'm with you on board.

214
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: That's right, Jim and Kai, and that's probably not what

215
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: do you have?

216
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna go with Sanford Oakland in USA.

217
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: Done lock it in?

218
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: All right there, we got a lot of agreement out

219
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: of us. Quick recap on last week, just so people

220
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: can feel either confident or ready to fade us. I

221
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: took Butler against Tennessee. They covered, they did not cover.

222
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: They got blown out. Matt also did the same Soulo

223
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: loser for both of us. But Kai and Jim both

224
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: took Siena against Florida State. They won outright. They were

225
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: indeed a live dog. Down in Orlando. Army covered against Princeton.

226
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: They did not win outright, but they did cover. I

227
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: think all no, just Kay and Matt were able to

228
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: get a winner there. And then I said, I Awowa

229
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: State would beat Villanova. I think that game ended up

230
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 2: being like a one and a half two point spread,

231
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: so it was not really an outright dog. But Cyclones

232
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: did take care of business. I think that that was

233
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: that was at least a live dog against public perception

234
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 2: on how good on how good Nova is. Let's move

235
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: into our next section, blowout city. Last week, only only

236
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: one out of four of our bloods got there. That

237
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: was Uckey wiping out North Florida. We had we had

238
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: some bad luck Kai with Indiana not having trace Jackson Davis,

239
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: something we did not know when we recorded. Baylor did

240
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: not quite cover despite winning by twenty nine, and Matt

241
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: your Dukies kind of took a Dukie against Oregon State

242
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: had no chance of covering that game. You kind of

243
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: called that. You thought Tinkle would turn it into a

244
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: bit of a slog, so credit to you.

245
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: Thank you, but did not think Duke would carry forth

246
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: their struggles. I mean, my god, against Perdue, they couldn't

247
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: score for what felt like thirty minutes. But I don't

248
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 5: this is one where you could argue Duke is like

249
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: a bounce back spot and I'm just looking to put

250
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 5: Duke on the back burner until I see some sort

251
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 5: of consistency on offense.

252
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 7: I don't know, Kyle, what are you looking to hear? Well,

253
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 7: that's a recap, Matthew. I'm not looking at Duke this week.

254
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 7: Jim is getting us the options though. I will give

255
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 7: you the options now, Matthew. That was simply looking.

256
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: I'm right options, I'm excited. I'm sorry, I'm jumping into

257
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 5: the outline. I'm dropping the my flall Fells.

258
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: One of the teams that embarrassed Duke at PK eighty five, Matthew,

259
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: that was Purdue. They kind of demolished everybody, not really

260
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: a competition in any of their games. They're going to

261
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: Florida State. Matt, tell me why this isn't a slaughter?

262
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: Why should this not be a slaughter considering how both

263
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: of these teams looked so far this year.

264
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: Because name any of the prior seven foot Florida State

265
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: guys that have tried. They're all going to come back

266
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: and band together. And just like mal Zach ed up front,

267
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 5: Christ what's the biggest seven foot six glogy, Yeah, he's

268
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: going to come back to No, Jen, there's no chance

269
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: here for Florida State. I really don't see one. Purdue

270
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 5: is humming on all cylinders. You could argue their guard

271
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: play is the weakness of that team, but they operate

272
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: so well in Painters system.

273
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Brain Smith has been a revelation. The point guard Spy

274
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: is a.

275
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 5: Rookie, and they're all getting Zachie the ball and Matt

276
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: Painters actually playing Zachi more than ten minutes a game.

277
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 5: So Purduy looks really good and I think Florida State

278
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 5: has no chance here.

279
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, ka I mentioned on Twitter, I took zach e

280
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: d twenty five to one for Wooden Award during PK

281
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: eighty five and that those odds have shortened. But man,

282
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: he looks sensational. And Florida State's is so easy to

283
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: play against. Do you see this one as a blow out?

284
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? I literally just took nine to one today on

285
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: eaty Gym.

286
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 7: I missed the boat as I was in Portland and

287
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: couldn't bet in Illinois. Yeah, he's basically a favorite now

288
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 7: to win the award. I think he's kind of a

289
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 7: shoe in man. There's like very little chance he doesn't

290
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 7: at this point. But this is not going to be

291
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 7: a thirteen point spread, unfortunately. Maryland's literally Maryland is favored

292
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 7: by thirteen right now at Florida State today, we have

293
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 7: not seen the game yet. At Louisville at Louville at Louisville, Oh,

294
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 7: that's Louisville. I'm sorry, wrong team, you know what. I

295
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 7: still think it's to be haigher than thirteen, but I'm

296
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 7: probably gonna take Purdue. They literally beat Duke and Gonzaga

297
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 7: by eighteen nineteen points. Obviously, you can't base everything on

298
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 7: one or two games, but this florist A team is

299
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 7: not good, and gosh, you just blindly fade them this year.

300
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 7: You're up by a lot of money right now. They

301
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 7: got crushed by Nebraska.

302
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: Jym.

303
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched entirely too much of that Nebraska game,

304
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: and it was Nebraska was zero to two, and that

305
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: two tournament has not looked good this year, and it

306
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: was a walk in the park for them. Like legitimately,

307
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: Florida State is so easy to play against. They make

308
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: nothing difficult for your offense. Their offense is a lot

309
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: of Kala Mills throwing up mid range Garbaggio Matthew Cleveland

310
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. Like they don't produce good shots.

311
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: We have not seen the floor for Florida State, like

312
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: they could be seven and twenty three bad this year

313
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: and potentially worse.

314
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

315
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: The a SEC's just it's bad, all right. The other one,

316
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: the other two actually I circled here North Alabama headed

317
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: to Memphis. This is also Wednesday, Memphis twenty six point

318
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: favorite per Kenpom. Again, the real lines are not out.

319
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: That is why we are going with the Kenpom line

320
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: at this point. And then Thursday, Utah Tech headed to

321
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: Utah State. Utah State has been just nuclear offensively so

322
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: far this year. U Tah Tech your saw us by

323
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: fifteen to North Dakota. Who is bad? Matt Do you

324
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: prefer either one of those or do you hate both?

325
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: Do you like both? What do you think it is?

326
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: North Dakota and not as bad as we thought?

327
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: I meant to ask you as this in a sort

328
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 5: of offline discussion for them kind of decent efforts to

329
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: be a little bit better than a little bit. They

330
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 5: found their bottom, right, They're not in the free fall anymore.

331
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: They've kind of found their bottom. I've been fitting Utah State.

332
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: I'm sorry U taw Tech a lot this season, unprofitably.

333
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: I think going to altitude won't be a big issue

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 5: for them because they they play in altitude themselves already,

335
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 5: and you Tostate kind of feast on teams that aren't

336
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 5: used to that in the non conference. All that said,

337
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 5: I think you toa state's offense is just such an

338
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: absent juggernaut right now. I don't know if you taw

339
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: Tech has the personnel to prep for it.

340
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

341
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 5: I think you tossed date once by twenty five here.

342
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: So that's the one I like the most.

343
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of like them both. Jim, North Alabama

344
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 7: was terrible this year.

345
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: But they I knew you had a little. U North

346
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: Alabama stinks angle coming in.

347
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 7: I do because they didn't cover against Georgia Tech fifteen points.

348
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 7: If you can't do that, what can you do? They're awful,

349
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 7: bottom ten team in the country. Probably Utah State has

350
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 7: been nuclear at home as well. Besides just offense, they've

351
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 7: been good at home, and that's airy team to fade

352
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 7: at the Spectrum Center Spectrum.

353
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I lean towards both, Jim.

354
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 7: I'm not sure I'm gonna take either one of these,

355
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 7: just for reasons that I can't explain right now, but

356
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 7: I like that they're options for you, Jim.

357
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: I support you.

358
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, these these are not like huge numeric

359
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: edges for me. They are just like bad team playing

360
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: angry good team most of the time here. I mean,

361
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: maybe Produce not angry because they're so happy and resting

362
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: on their laurels, and they have a long way to

363
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: go from Portland down to Tallahassee. But Memphis probably not

364
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: thrilled with the way their tournament went in Orlando with

365
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: the buzzer beating loss of seat in Hall in the

366
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: opening round. Had to play on the loser side, and

367
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: that team is just built to demolish bad squads at home.

368
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: They're athletic rangeye defense. I think they forced one hundred

369
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: turnovers against North Alabama and blow out the Lions. So

370
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: I like all three of those. That's how well great it?

371
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: Next week Jim took all three and the other guys

372
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: were wishy washy. We'll see all right. Before we get

410
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: the ones that you're going to be watching on TV,

411
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: most likely on ESPN or FS one. What have you? Oh,

412
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: I could feel it. And now we're starting with your dookies.

413
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: You were already so excited to talk about them this week.

414
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: They're back from Portland after some down performances. They lost

415
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: on the road at Ohio State last year in the

416
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: Aen Challenge.

417
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Meltdown, absolute meltdown Late.

418
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: Not a lot of similarities between the two teams other

419
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: than Jeremy Roach. But is there some anger coming into

420
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 2: this one? Do we see Duke with a better effort

421
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 2: back home and Cameron Indoor?

422
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: I think we do.

423
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: It's funny like we're going to see a very big

424
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 5: ten type of game here. I mean, Ryan Young has

425
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 5: become such a critical part of this Duke puzzle, which

426
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: is a little bit concerning looking at Duke's long term prognosis.

427
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 5: So he goes back against his old Big ten brethren

428
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 5: in the beastly front line of Ohio's Deaykai. So I

429
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 5: think this game actually is a pretty physical, low scoring

430
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 5: game actually kind of like the total under. But from

431
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: Duke's perspective, I just can't bet them right now because

432
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 5: I'm so unsure of what John Shier wants to do

433
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 5: with his rotations, and especially when we're looking at Derek

434
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: Lively via Shell himself, you kind of go down the line.

435
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 5: It's like, man, what does his team? What does the

436
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: Duke team really have? Like Philip Housei's been great, but

437
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: beyond that, the consistency with the talent has not been there.

438
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Derek Whitehead is not without shame here. He's

439
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 7: an a two OER rating this year. Guys, I know

440
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 7: he's off inch on right. The guy's played in six

441
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 7: or seven games. When does that excuse go away? He's

442
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 7: not starting, he shouldn't start. He's been terrible this season.

443
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 7: And Lively is not the number one recruit in the country.

444
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 7: That's a ridiculous rating. Having seen Duke live, I'm a

445
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 7: little bit worried about them here. Ohio looked really good

446
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 7: in the Maui Jim Maui Jim, but three seems like

447
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 7: a short spread. My number will probably say, Hey, man,

448
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 7: bet Duke. We'll see if I actually do TVD. I

449
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 7: don't really trust this team yet.

450
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, their offense terrible. I mean they scored I think

451
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: zero points in the final seven and a half minutes

452
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: against Purdue. That zero, That is no points none, not

453
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: a scored fifty four against Oregon States defense. It's just

454
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: not great right now. They don't know what they are

455
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: other than please help us Filipowski and Jeremy Roach taking

456
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: mid range elbow jumpers, which that's not a prescription for

457
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: a very efficient offense. All that said, though, if it's three,

458
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: I'll probably end upon the Blue Devils because that's low

459
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: for them back home in a nice spot, maybe a

460
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: little island hangover for Ohiose State, although this is a

461
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: full week after they finished up in Maui. We'll see

462
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: how that bears out for him, but would have to

463
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: lean towards the Blue Devils there. Whether whether I end

464
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: up taking him or not, we'll see what the ultimate

465
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: spread is on that game. You and c Indiana another

466
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: huge one in the ACC Big Ten Challenge. We talked

467
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: about that in Live Dog, though, Kai and Jim definitely

468
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: leaning towards UNC. Matt says, stay away. He loves the Suoziers,

469
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: Trace Jackson, Davis Dunk Slamo all over these these deeply

470
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: unserious tar heels so far this year. And then Thursday

471
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: also mentioned a little bit about Creighton and Texas. Matt,

472
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: I want to get a little more opinion from you

473
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: on this one, because you didn't touch on it too

474
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: much in Live Dog the Baby Blue Jays at Texas.

475
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: I know that maybe is scary, but is this number

476
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: just too big?

477
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't feel vague like eight, especially when you

478
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 5: when you look at Calc up front what I think

479
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 5: he can present real issues. I know Dylan DCU was

480
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 5: banged up last game or suffered a mini setback. I

481
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 5: don't know how serious that is, but I think you

482
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 5: look at this Texas revelation this year. They're already really

483
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: good to eventually last season, but this year they've just

484
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 5: gone from really good to Chris Beard ultra elite level.

485
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: I think dc upfront has been a big part of that, right.

486
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 5: The weakness upfront last year was weakness last year was upfront.

487
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 5: I think he kind of plugs that gap. And then

488
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 5: the vaunted perimeter defense is what makes everything else fall

489
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 5: into place. Without dcre with the banged up DCU Kai

490
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: and just put the generally undersized Texas front line. Creighton

491
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 5: can't exploit them upfront. Now I exploit them, but at

492
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: least put some pressure on the Texas defense by going

493
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 5: inside out if they can handle the ball, and that

494
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 5: against that initial wave.

495
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: Of pressure on the primter.

496
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's just so many things here in this game.

497
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 7: It's like, hey, Texas looks awesome, but Texas has only

498
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 7: played one real team it's Gonzaga. They look great still,

499
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 7: their schedule has been really really bad. And Creighton they

500
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 7: looked awesome. But this is Creton's first true road game,

501
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 7: and we saw that atmosphere in Texas looked amazing against Gonzaga.

502
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 7: That would affect any team, even Creighton has looked great

503
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 7: this year. Eight points, though, feels like a lot. I

504
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 7: would probably going towards Creighton here. I'm sure my number

505
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 7: will suggest I take it. I'll give it a couple thoughts, Jim,

506
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 7: because Texas at home right now could be scary. There

507
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 7: are number one and Kimpum that could be that good.

508
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 7: There's a lot to think about this game. Big defensive battle.

509
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 7: Surprisingly yep, big time Matt.

510
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: One angle you've particularly loved this year is the revenge

511
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: game against old School. You think Christian Bishop goes for

512
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: twenty five and twelve here.

513
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 5: That's right, another boomerang revenge type of game. I guess

514
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 5: if the pattern holds and yes, you can basically bet

515
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: on every over in the prop market for Christian Bishop, points, rebounds, blocks,

516
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 5: assist who knows.

517
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the motivated man. But I will probably end up

518
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: staying away because the matchup scares me. With Creighton's youth,

519
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: handling the ball against the pressure does feel a tat high.

520
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: Last one to touch on here in Power Conference Game

521
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: of the week, Seton Hall headed to Kansas. Maybe this

522
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: is stretching it after Seton Hall just lost to Sienna

523
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 2: down in down in Orlando. Not a great performance. But

524
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 2: Shaheen Holloway as an underdog is really impressive. I mean,

525
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: look what he did the Saint Peter's through the run

526
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: in the NCAA Tournament last year. Great defensive team. I

527
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: think they can kind of shut down a Kansas offense

528
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: that's been Jalen Wilson please get us a basket and

529
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: hopefully create Grady Dick shows up. Ken Pum has this

530
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: game at nine. Kansas has won and six against the spread.

531
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Kevin mccullor missed last game against Texas Southern, Bobby Pettiford

532
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: likely still out to the hero of their win against

533
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Ky. Does this set up for a by low

534
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: a little bit on the Pirates.

535
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it might, especially mcculler's out. I think

536
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 7: he's so important to what Kansas does, especially on the

537
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 7: defensive end. And yeah, their offense man hasn't been that potent.

538
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 7: They're thirty third right now in the country offensively. Can't

539
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 7: remember the last time Bill Self, a Bill Self team

540
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 7: has finished that low. They would be wise Matt to

541
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 7: get the ball to Grady Dick a little bit more

542
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 7: besides just catch and shoot. But I think Seaton Hall

543
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 7: can can stay within double digits here. We'll see if

544
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 7: it's actually nine TVD, hey might get that up, considering

545
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 7: Siena just beat Seaton Hall. So maybe you wait for

546
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 7: a little ted action if the markets will allow you.

547
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of lean Seatonhall. I'm with Kai.

548
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 5: I know they've had major issues with injuries and illness,

549
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: and they haven't had like cohesive practices and all aways

550
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 5: been talking about how that's kind of prevented the you know,

551
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: the improvement trajectory he was hoping to see. I still

552
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 5: think they could be a feisty dog at FAG just

553
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 5: as you guys mentioned.

554
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: How brittle Kay you looks this year.

555
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 5: A lot of injuries, very young, relying heavily, heavily on

556
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 5: the color and Dwan Harris a very good point guard,

557
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 5: great game managemer, but like not a guy that you

558
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: need to rely on for point production. And unfortunately that's

559
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: kind of where this KU offense is at right now.

560
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Holloway is a dog thing I think is big.

561
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: I also like the under Kay you mentioned. Kansas offensive

562
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: rankings actually really bad in twenty twenty one. The team

563
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: that crashed out against USC early in the NCAA tournament

564
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: couldn't couldn't find a way to score that year. I

565
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: think under is a decent look because both teams can

566
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: kind of shut down the other offense. Seaton All's offensive

567
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: plan was confusing, slash nonexistent during their tournament Orlando, and

568
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: with the way Kansas has been playing defense this year,

569
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 2: I think they can limit it seton. Hall will probably

570
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: try to keep the game a little slower given their

571
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: situation as a road dog, but they've been willing to

572
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: run on offense, so that's more an efficiency based under angle.

573
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: And we'll have to wait and see what the number is.

574
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to midgame, mid mid game. How

575
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: about mid major game of the week. That seems like

576
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 2: more of a better description. Mid game would be another

577
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: name for the trash man pick of the week, and

578
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: that's coming in a second, but we'll go mid major

579
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: game of the week Wednesday, Richmond at Toledo only minus

580
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: one ken pop. Wow, the rockets the not flying quite

581
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: as high anymore, these rocket ships after a recent run

582
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: of not as great form, Toledo fighters anonymous as having

583
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: a real resurgence, Thank you, Richmond. Kind of impressive so far.

584
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: I thought they looked decent in New York in their

585
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: multi team event against Syracuse and Saint John's. But I

586
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: just I feel like Toledo trends back up here getting

587
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: home even though they don't have or might not have

588
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: Tyler Cochrane, one of their key bench guards. This is

589
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: this number is screaming rocket ships to me.

590
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is to me too, Jim, Toledo had what

591
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 5: a two game funk and I think they snapped out

592
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 5: of it. Would I would be salivating to bet Toledo

593
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 5: here is like the one time you actually get to

594
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 5: bet Toledo at a reasonable price, not at like the

595
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 5: super premium inflated price which they've been lyned at the

596
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 5: last year and a half two years and still have

597
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: mostly covered those spreads. So I think, great time to

598
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: back Toledo Ki point simple.

599
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: I agree.

600
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 7: They fallen thirty spots in Kimpum last week because the

601
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 7: UMKC and East Carolina just took them to the woodshed.

602
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 7: Really weird results, especially the MKC game. I still really

603
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 7: can't explain that they're back at home. They clearly love

604
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 7: being home. They've taken care of business twice this year

605
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 7: against the spread at home and Richmond.

606
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've weirdly looked good. Jim. I agree. Their defense

607
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: is a lot more solid than I thought, but still

608
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: not a.

609
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 7: Team that I'm like super concerned about, a team that

610
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 7: I'm expecting to go on the road and get a

611
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 7: win here at Toledo.

612
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, Toledo chainser starting lineup last game. They put Dante

613
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: Maddox in and moved EJ. Farmer to the bench, and

614
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: they both played really well. It seemed like it worked

615
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: for both guys. J T. Shuemate, one of Toledo's best guys,

616
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: filed out early in that game, and they still beat

617
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: Northern Kentucky by thirteen. Admittedly a shorthanded Northern Kentucky team,

618
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: but yeah, that's Toledo for me. I'll be on them.

619
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: And also we have league play starting in the Missouri Valley.

620
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: Fell as a monster one to start league play. We've

621
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: got Drake, the preseason favorite, clear favorite, going on the

622
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: road to Indiana State. A bit of a darling so

623
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: far in the preseason, but Kai, like Toledo, they had

624
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: some mystifying results during their MTE. Now they're a two

625
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: point home dog against Drake. Is that too short? Are

626
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: you fading the form that the Sycamores have showed? What

627
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: do you have with this one?

628
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 7: Gosh, very tough one, A chance to make a statement

629
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 7: here if you're Indiana State after a very disappointing opening

630
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 7: year under shirts, clearly a lot of injuries. I'm not

631
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 7: fading Drake in the Missouri Valley.

632
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm just not. They've looked really good.

633
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 7: This year too, and they appear to be close to

634
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 7: one hundred percent healthy. Rowan Penn has actually been playing

635
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 7: Indiana State without Cameron Henry against the none.

636
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: D one game.

637
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 7: I don't really know if that was actual injury, if

638
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 7: he was just taking arrest, who knows, but he is

639
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 7: somewhat important. This is a really deep team, the Sycamores, Matt,

640
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 7: But Man, I don't think it's profitable fading Drake, especially

641
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 7: in the Valley, So I would not be betting the Sycamores.

642
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is tough for me. That's a lot of

643
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 5: good Missouri Valley games coming up this week here. I

644
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 5: actually would lean Indiana State. I know Drake's gotten healthier,

645
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: but doesn't feel like they're all the way there. Indiana

646
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: State's deeper. I know they had a bad MT. I

647
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: feel like I'm just trying to antotically play this team's

648
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 5: coming off really good mtes, fade them when they come back,

649
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 5: teams coming up really bad mpts, back them when they're

650
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 5: first game back. Kind of a sort of a oscillation angle,

651
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: I suppose, Man.

652
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: I have a question, as a as a big time

653
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: lifelong Valley watcher, does Indiana State and Shirts his style

654
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: of kind of run, launch threes, play fast and offense.

655
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Is that going to work? Long term in this conference,

656
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like Hoiberg in the Big Ten. I

657
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: don't know, no with you.

658
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: I think the conference is kind of changing though, right

659
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: Like Bradley plays a little faster now, the Panthers run

660
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: a little bit more. You got Belmont in there. I

661
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: just think the conference isn't going to be as stuck

662
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: in the stone ages going for the next two or

663
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: three years. So maybe maybe in the evolution of times,

664
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: I you Blue can come out on top.

665
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: Buy that to go back to this game. It's a

666
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: little short for me, unfortunately. I kind of wanted to

667
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: back Indiana State. But if I'm not getting a full possession,

668
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to get three, three and a half, then

669
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: I'll probably stay away. I do think it's a nice

670
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: spot for him, but I'm not anxious to fade Drake.

671
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: I would just need a little bit more value on

672
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: the line. All right, that's it for mid Major game

673
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: of the week. It is now time for the trash

674
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: Man pick of the week.

675
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: The trash man pick of the week.

676
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm the trash man.

677
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it.

678
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 6: Totally unreliable, undependable it that's it.

679
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: You've been told off.

680
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 5: How do you like that?

681
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: Good?

682
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: It is the trashman pick of the week. Oh boy,

683
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: did we nail it last week? Guy, I can't believe you.

684
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: There's no way to find a trash here game. I

685
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: don't think the Air Force Mississippi Valley State game had

686
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: fifty possessions five zero five zero fifty. That is mathematically

687
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: difficult to do in a forty minute game with a

688
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: thirty second shot clock. You need offensive rebounds, you need

689
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: waiting till the shot clock buzzer. Pretty much every time

690
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: it was a mess. And it also wasn't close, so

691
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: like there wasn't any entertaining part of that. It was

692
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: just a gross game all around, the true definition of

693
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: the trash man and pick of the week. I thought

694
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: about letting Air Force make a repeat performance here as

695
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 2: they host Pine Bluff in midweek, but I'm gonna let

696
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: them off the hook. They've been a little bit better lately.

697
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: We're going with Delaware State at Saint Francis College, that

698
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: is Saint Francis of Brooklyn. Both teams are bottom twenty

699
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: per Ken Palm nationally. They're both under five hundred against

700
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: the spread. They have one combined win against d one opponents.

701
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: It's ugly, but Manka, it seems like seven points is

702
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: too many for a team that is as bad as

703
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: Saint Francis Is to be lame.

704
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: I would agree, Jim.

705
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 7: They've had a weird good effort that they beat Saint

706
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 7: Peter's this year, which was surprising. I don't really understand

707
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 7: that both teams are terrible. Obviously we saw Delaware stake

708
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 7: and Pete with Villanova to open the year for a bit.

709
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 7: Villanova looks terrible, but these are both two of the

710
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 7: worst offensive and defensive teams in the country. They're bad

711
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 7: on both ends, so it's going to be kind of

712
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 7: a slap fight, I think, and I leaned towards a

713
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 7: dog in that case, Matthew, but it's definitely worthy of

714
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 7: the trash Man Pick of the Week.

715
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a hard stay away. I mean, just

716
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 5: kind of a game. I'm not looking to watch or

717
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: even track by any means. Saint Francis, Jim, have they've

718
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 5: been better than we think?

719
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: That?

720
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 5: That's my question to you. Like, I know this line

721
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: was insane, I will emphatically say, okay, good that. I

722
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 5: think that's the confidence I needed to back Delaware.

723
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean to uh.

724
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 5: To back Delaware State here, Like, I just think that

725
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 5: that's that's seven. I hope it's seven. Please odds makers

726
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 5: follow kempom. We'd encourage you to do so from personal benefit,

727
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 5: thank you.

728
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint Francis is a little short handed. Rob Higgins

729
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: hasn't played. He did come back last game, but he'd

730
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: been out of lineup. But they've had the benefit of

731
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: playing a bunch of short handed teams. Like Minnesota was

732
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: down jameson battle, Saint Francis still didn't cover, Saint Thomas

733
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: was down a couple people. Saint Francis lost by twenty six.

734
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: South Florida was down a couple of starters Jamiir Chaplin

735
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: and Keisha Gryant. I'll say thirty six thirty six, Wow,

736
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: that's what I get through in mental myth. Yeah, even worse.

737
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: South Florida is down a couple starters. Saint Francis still

738
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 2: lost by fifteen. This is it's been bleak for them,

739
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: and I'm with with these guys. Delaware State Stan Waterman

740
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: is actually kind of trying to build something here. I

741
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: think the Villanova effort was really impressive, like kept it

742
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: close for the entire game. It wasn't like they got

743
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: demolished late, So I think Delaware State trending up a

744
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: little bit there and worth a wager. In the trash

745
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: Men Pick of the Week, I will round it up

746
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: with the spotlight on section, and I opted to go

747
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: with a spotlight on the best and worst against the

748
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: spread coaches from the last three years. This is from

749
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: bet Labs. Thank you to their fine data and the

750
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: game sample I think is a little bit lacking because

751
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, the COVID year, there were less games

752
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: for certain teams. But I think to you guys and

753
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: listeners will be surprised by a couple of names on

754
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: these lists. Let's start with the best coaches. Not surprisingly

755
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: Ty Kowaltchik of TILLI forty six and seventeen the last

756
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: three years. That's with his little wall that he had

757
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: in the MTE this week, that team has been dominant

758
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: against the number and of course Matt That's why we

759
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: hatched Toledo Faders anonymous because that team cover spreads.

760
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, all they do is cover spreads. My god, forty

761
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: six to seventeen, Yeah, it's just an insane rate. I'm

762
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 5: curious to see how quickly his Mac competitor, mister Rob

763
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 5: center Off and the Kent State Flashes are on the

764
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: overall record ATS record books as well, that's for sure.

765
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: Yes, and what they did recently, those Golden Flashers is

766
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: cover at Houston, who is coached by Calvin Samson. He

767
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: is one of the best ATS coaches. Thirty five and

768
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: eighteen against the number the last two plus years. A

769
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: team just doesn't have down Knights. I did read guy

770
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: that they had a little bit of a flu going

771
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: through the team and they couldn't shoot against Kent State.

772
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: So actually kind of impressive they pulled out the win

773
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: given how poorly they played.

774
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kicking myself.

775
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 7: I was like, Man, eighteen and a half points, that's

776
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 7: a lot for Kent State a team, it's really really good,

777
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 7: but it's like, oh, they're playing Houston, No, thank you,

778
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 7: not ever fading Calvin Samson. Yeah, impressively on both parts.

779
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 7: I mean, even a flu, Houston is a top five

780
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 7: team in the.

781
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 3: Country, right, yep.

782
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 2: And then a couple other coaches who've kind of drawn

783
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: attention so far this year, Chante Leggins at Eastern Washington

784
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: and Portland. Over those those two games, he was, Yeah,

785
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: the Portland Pilots were a wonderful watch out in the

786
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: PK eighty five. Then Jason Hooton of sam Houston State

787
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: last year got it done with Texas A and m

788
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: transfer Savion Flag. This year they're led by Wichita State

789
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 2: transfer Quaite Grant. They've got some big, outright wins at

790
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: Utah at Oklahoma so far this year. Houghton's been great.

791
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: And then Maddy Dan Earl of VMI and Chattanooga, now

792
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: just a tremendous coach, has elevated every program he's been at. Specifically,

793
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: the VMI thing was unbelievable that team should ever be competitive,

794
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 2: but they were. And now he takes over a team

795
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 2: with a lot more resources. So NUGA a team you'll

796
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: likely be looking to back in the next year or two.

797
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 5: Yes, I got a well to giddy backed them a

798
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: couple times early this year, and it's probably jumped the gun,

799
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 5: as I like to do. I was compared to Legans

800
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 5: and Houdin, where they have ready to rock rosters right now,

801
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 5: and if you have any sort of discernible gut feeling

802
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 5: that you should back them, the data says it's probably

803
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 5: a wise to do so. Earl is an exception. I

804
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 5: think this year, with the new roster, he has at

805
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 5: the new destination.

806
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: All right, Now, this is where it gets a little

807
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: whoa surprising. The worst ATS coaches in the last two

808
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 2: plus three seasons, these are ones that are still employed.

809
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: I'll throw that caveat in there. Guys that have been

810
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 2: fired for their terrible performance against expectations. That's not helpful,

811
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: that's not actionable, and we are the action networks, big

812
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: bets on campus. All right, the worst, the worst coach

813
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: against the number recently Paul Sather of North Dakota. The

814
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: team has been bad, has been racked by injuries last

815
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: year especially, got off to a poor start this year.

816
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: But Matt thinks they're not as bad, right, you don't

817
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: think they're as bad as we thought they were.

818
00:37:59,600 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

819
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 5: I was hoping you Gus would answered this one for me.

820
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 5: They've I guess, played two good games. Maybe we shouldn't

821
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 5: crown them ATS kings yet. And I think a lot

822
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 5: of the North Dakota fans, if you scour through the

823
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 5: depths of their fan forums, are not Paul Sather fans.

824
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: So take that for what it's worth.

825
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 7: Fair also to North Dakota and don't have to make

826
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 7: a big thing about it, but they their best player

827
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 7: is transferred.

828
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: The last like three or four years.

829
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, bafter the season got crushed by Paula, poor Paula.

830
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at least two years in a row. They

831
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: had the freshman of the year in the league and

832
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: he left, so ultimate insult to injury. This year he

833
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: left to go to South Dakota. They're one of their

834
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: biggest rivals, So bummer for the Fighting Hawks. A couple

835
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: other guys that have been really crushed by injuries in

836
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: recent past, Dan Dantoni at Marshall. Last year's team was weird,

837
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 2: certainly had some injury issues, but also couldn't shoot the ball.

838
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: Several guys had big time slumps. They lacked a point guard.

839
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: Thundering Herd. We're poor, Travis to cure a coach that

840
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm actually a pretty big fan of it Montana, or

841
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 2: used to be. They've been really poor against the spread.

842
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,479
Speaker 2: I remember two years ago they couldn't win a single

843
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: close game down the stretch. It was maddening. And then

844
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: Leonard Hamilton Florida State. Last year I lost four starters

845
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: the injury, complete wreck of a roster and this year,

846
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: it has gotten worse, only worse this season, but the

847
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: last one. Fella is the third worst coach against the

848
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: number of the last three years, Chris Beard. Can that

849
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: be right? Kay?

850
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: McEwan?

851
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: Is that right?

852
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: This is surprising.

853
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 7: I'd be curious to know if it was mostly last

854
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 7: season when Texas was vaulted pretty highly in the markets.

855
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 7: Obviously they didn't quite live up the expectations last season.

856
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 7: I'd be curious that it was mostly driven by that.

857
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 7: But also Chris Beard had a really high expectations in

858
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one with Texas Tech, kind of following a

859
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 7: couple of years after that Final four run, and they

860
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 7: they did well, but there were still a sixth seed

861
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 7: in the tournament. Perhaps we should be looking more to

862
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 7: fade Chris Beard, which is definitely not what I expected

863
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 7: going in.

864
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: Or maybe not fear fading him as.

865
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: Much like oh, ok basically plus eight this weekend?

866
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, the number I'm seeing, I don't agree with it.

867
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: I'll fade him obviously. That bit us Kai when we

868
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: backed Gonzag a little bit down in Austin, but man,

869
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: that was the opening of a new building, huge, huge

870
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: home game. Maybe that was the wrong spot to do it, Matthew,

871
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: are you surprised by this?

872
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 5: Uh? No, I just think after the Texas Tech run,

873
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 5: the value went through the roof too quickly, when maybe

874
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 5: he probably should have been given a pass or at least

875
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 5: a discount for the new roster assembly, that kind of stuff.

876
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: You know.

877
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 5: I'm curious how like, for example, Tony Bennett might compare

878
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 5: at a similar point in time in his coaching career,

879
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 5: the early parts of his Virginia ascension, which is kind

880
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 5: of where Beard is right now with his Texas two

881
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 5: step Texas Tech to Texas where Bennett's been a profab

882
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 5: background pretty sure for most of that time. I don't

883
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 5: know if that's like condensed to fifty percent where you know,

884
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 5: Beard kind of overinflated. Maybe the market kind of adjust down,

885
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 5: and if he really is a good coach, he should

886
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 5: probably be a profitable back the next three to five years.

887
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: Who knows.

888
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 2: Yep, that's it for Spotlight on. We're surprised to see

889
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: Chris Beard there, but perhaps he SNDS this year. This

890
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 2: is the one where the expectations were a little more

891
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: properly aligned. Quick recap on final bets. We did mention

892
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: all the different live dogs were taking. We think it's

893
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: a big week for them in some combination. We've got

894
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Sanford, South Alabama, Oakland, Chicago State, multiple of

895
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: us on a couple of those power games of the week.

896
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: Nothing super strong, but we did maybe talk ourselves into

897
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: Creighton plus eight there with the Chris Beard spotlight and

898
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: a few blowout games we think produce smashes Florida State.

899
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: But the number might take off if it opens thirteen.

900
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: I bet it closes sixteen. People are wise to how

901
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: bad the bottom of the acc is. Potentially Memphis boiling

902
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: out North Alabama, potentially Utah State crushing Utah Tech as well.

903
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 2: Mid major game of the week. I think we all

904
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: liked Toledo. That was a potential pick there. Delaware State

905
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: getting seven in the trash Man Pick of the week,

906
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: keep an eye on that one. We'll see where the

907
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: number lands. But that is it. That would be our

908
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: bet recap for this week Wednesday and Thursday. We'll be

909
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: back again next week with more big bets on campus.

910
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: Thank you to our sponsor at bet MGM. But until

911
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: next time, good luck with your bets.
