This is the Monday and Tuesday college basketball 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: betting preview. I'm stuck in with me as always is 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: J Cunningham and Mike cal Breeze. Gentlemen, how are you, bj? 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: How was your weekend? 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't too bad. It was an inching week into 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: college basketball. But man, do we have an unbelievable slate 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: coming up not only tonight but on Tuesday this week. 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're entering the prime of college basketball. It's very exciting. Mike, 19 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: how are you? And how was your weekend? And I 20 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: assume you didn wear a coat out anywhere? I did not. 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. Coats are completely superfluous. 22 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: This time of year if you're not going outside for 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: more than thirty seconds. I got a decent amount of 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 3: DMS about that, But it was a good little offshoot 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,279 Speaker 3: because most of my Saturday was dealt just watching games 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: either on TV or you know, through the action app 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: just melting away from me. So I'm ready for some 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: of that luck, you know, to balance out a little bit. 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 3: This has been it's been a tough year for teams 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: not knowing how to close out games. I'll get into 31 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 3: it for my Rants of the week, but holy moly, 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: there's just a lot of teams I think are begging 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: to get upset in the first weekend of March Madness 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 3: because they just they really can't run offense other than 35 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: just the run and gun. 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 2: Three point style. 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: And because of that, you're seeing teams in those timeout 38 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: situations foul time out, foul like they just they lose 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: their continuity, they lose the mojo a little bit, and 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: it's been difficult to watch. But I think it's kind 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: of an epidemic across college basketball. 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: I also saw you tweeting about college lacrosse. 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: Of course I got started there. I was like, well, 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: my bad luck can't also extend to college lacross and 45 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 3: taking what I thought was a nice play. College lacrosse 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: kind of has some quirky scheduling, particularly at the beginning 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: of the season, and Duke had a back to back. 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: They're playing against a Vermont team that had just made 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: the tournament the year before, really on the upswing of program. 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: That's kind of fun to watch. And Vermont led four 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: to two at halftime, getting five and a half goals, 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: and they found a way to lose by nine goals 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: in that game. 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm just. 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: Taking my lumps, but hopefully it'll all pay off down 56 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: the stretch. Rum here at college Hoops. 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, before we get into what we one thing that 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: we learned from the week, and then we'll talk a 59 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: look for Monday or Tuesday. I guess we'll start with 60 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: right out of the week because I'll get into it all. 61 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: Right, let it out, this is your rant of the week. 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: I don't care if every single dog that I bet 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: can go to overtime and lose. I don't care anymore. 64 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: Indiana State was the latest straw. I just don't care. 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: If you can go to overtime and lose, I'll just 66 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: write it off. But can we just not blow twenty 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: point leads with ten to go against teams that can't score. 68 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 2: Colorado State was sickening, sickening. I just ruined my Friday night. 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: It was the third twenty point lead I've blown in 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: a week. I just they don't turn it over, they 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: don't miss free throws. How do you blow twelve pointly 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: with two minutes ago? So I don't care about overtime, 73 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: go to overtime. I'll go oh one, one hundred and 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: overtime this year. But to me, just hold a twenty 75 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: point lead with ten to go. That was one of 76 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: the worst, just almost awful bets that I've ever had 77 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: to watch and endure. I thought that there were zero 78 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: chance that it was going to lose. So, yeah, twenty 79 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: point leads, can we at least hold onto them? Bja anything? 80 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: When I ran about, Yeah, Virginia Tech's in the graveyard for. 81 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: Me, Virginia Tech is on your no bet list. Yeah. 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: On Saturday night against Pit on the Road, they were 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: up forty nine to twenty two at half, and it 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: was one of those bets that you know, you kind 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: of just you push off and you don't really follow 86 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: too much. You don't not saying I'm expecting it to 87 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: necessarily win, but if it does come back and lose, 88 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: then I don't want to witness it. And you know, 89 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: I was off doing something Saturday night. I saw they 90 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: were up at half, and I just put down my phone. 91 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: I came back and I got the notification from the 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Action Network HAP that Virginia Tech won by five, and 93 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: so of course I had to go back and look. 94 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Actually how it happened. They basically missed every single free 95 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: throw possible down the stretch, and Pitch just ran down 96 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: and hit threes. Virginia Tech was up eleven with a 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: minute twenty left in the game, and they somehow couldn't 98 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: cover six and a half. So now what's funny is 99 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: that these two teams are playing again on Monday night 100 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: in Blacksburg, and I have no interest. 101 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: I've missed it. I didn't know that they were up 102 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: twenty seven at that half. 103 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're up forty nine to twenty two, and they 104 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: actually scored right out of the half. The headline because 105 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: I went back and looked, is Virginia Tech builds twenty 106 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: eight point lead to hold off Pit seventy six to 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: seventy one. So that wasn't fun. But then again, I 108 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: can't really complain it because I had a couple of 109 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: miracle covers, like Utah against Oregon was an absolute miracle 110 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: for them, only lose by three, so I can't complain 111 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: too much. But Virginia Tech, this is like the third 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: time that they've either gotten completely blown out or just 113 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: blown one of these huge leads. So graveyard for me. 114 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm I got. I had no help. I 115 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: didn't have too many four ones, but West Virginia was 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: just painful to Yeah that was bad. Go down plus 117 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: six two, but yeah, that's brutal. Yeah, we're twenty eight 118 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: against Pitt Like, yeah, it should cover seven, Mike, what 119 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: you got for your ant? Yeah? 120 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: So I had Oregon minus three, so that ended up 121 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: being a push. But they're up fourteen with five to go. 122 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: And if you close your eyes and you say, all right, 123 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: Oregon's gonna shoot thirteen for twenty six from three nine 124 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: for ten for the line, and they got that fourteen 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: point lead with five to go against Utah, arguably the 126 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: worst shooting team in the Pac twelve. 127 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: You should win that. 128 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: One hundred percent of the time. And I had to 129 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: steal this sometimes on the solid verbal Colletiball podcast. They'll 130 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: go through and they'll do drive charts for really bad 131 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: offenses where it's like punt punt, punt, turnover and down's interception. 132 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: Here was the close out for Oregon. Turnover, miss jumper, 133 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: miss jumper, miss three, May three, miss jumper, turnover, turnover 134 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: two foul shots made, turnover two foul shots made. So 135 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: that's how you get it done. It's not like Utah 136 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: made every shot down the stretch, but incredibly frustrating, particularly 137 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 3: for an Oregon team that I've been carrying water for them. Actually, 138 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: you know through it on the Action Network Futures Report 139 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: that you know, hundred and twenty five to one to 140 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: win the national title. 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 2: Why not. 142 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: I'll take a flyer on that they've been playing so 143 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: well and then they go and burn me like that. 144 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 3: So the Ducks aren't dead to me. They're not in 145 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: rginy tech territory. But that one, that one really stunned. 146 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, So it's the college basketball weekends, man, 147 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 2: hot high Vye. You can have some some absolutely brutal beats, 148 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: but let's move on to the week and actually, but 149 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: one thing that you learned from a team, a team 150 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: that I might end up feeding. Tonight actually was probably 151 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: the most impressive of the week to me, and that's Kansas. 152 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: After just getting a bludgeoned by Kentucky at home, they 153 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 2: respond with a win without a baggie at Iowa State 154 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: and then they just dismantled Baylor. So I thought that 155 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: that said a lot about Kansas's potential. It's a team 156 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: that I thought was in a mix for a national 157 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: title and that kind of just confirmed it. Interesting game 158 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: tonight with Texas, a team that swept of Kansas last year. 159 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, I was really impressed with Kansas in the 160 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: week that was Obviously, Kentucky another really impressive win at Alabama. 161 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: It helped that Alabama went like three to thirty from three, 162 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: but Kentucky continues to pile up the impressive wins. BJ 163 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: where you're going from something that you learned for the week. 164 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously the Blue Buds took over this weekend and 165 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: really just asserted themselves as still dominant college basketball. But 166 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to go a little different from Sunday. Maybe 167 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm the only one, but I've kind of just forgotten 168 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: about how good Houston is. Obviously, they've had a couple 169 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: season ending injuries. Surbery has kind of written them off, 170 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: but they're dominating the AAC right now. They're on a 171 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: twelve game winning streak. They went into Cincinnati on Sunday 172 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: and just a really impressive dominant performance in a hostile environment. 173 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: Houston's one of these teams that they're obviously incredible defensively, 174 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: number one in college basketball in effective field goal percentage allowed, 175 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and come March, it's one of those teams I think 176 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: also that people are just going to write off because 177 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, they had the two injuries, Oh they 178 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: had an easy schedule in the AAC, because it wasn't 179 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: that difficult this year. But this is a really really 180 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: good team and a really really good defense, and a 181 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: very very tough out for somebody in the tournament. So 182 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: I just caution everybody out there to keep an eye 183 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: on Houston. They have a probably their toughest test left 184 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: on their schedule at SMU on Wednesday nights, so that'll 185 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they can follow up back 186 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: to back big time road wins in conference play. 187 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, is this a team that could have been a 188 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: top five team easily with everyone healthy, could one at all? 189 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: It still looks like they could make a deep run. 190 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: It does does it even matter who's healthy there? Like, 191 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: it's more I feel like it's more of the system. 192 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: And obviously they have talented players, but you know that 193 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: they're going to be relentless on the glass and play extremely, 194 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: extremely tough defense under Samson. They're obviously well coached. So yeah, 195 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: that's they're going to be in the mix for sure. 196 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: Not a fun team to play on a nightly basis, Mike, 197 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: what do you what do you got from a takeaway 198 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: from the week? 199 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: So one time was an avarition twice now for Auburn 200 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: messing around with a cellar dweller in the SEC. They 201 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: go six for twenty six from long range against Georgia, 202 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: after going six for twenty eight against Miszoo Jabari Smith 203 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: Now in those two games, four for twenty two, two 204 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: for ten from three point range. I have concerns of 205 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: them playing down to their competition down the stretch and 206 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: also when it comes to the tournament. I mean, obviously, 207 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 3: right now they're locked in for a number one seed. 208 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: Is probably gonna take multiple stumbles for them to get 209 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 3: knocked off of that one line. So it probably won't 210 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: happen in the first weekend, But I have some serious 211 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: concerns for a team that can be so dynamic, it 212 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 3: just seems like when Jabari Smith has has issues getting 213 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: his game going on offensively, it permeates everything else that 214 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: they're doing. I just I'm interested if you guys are 215 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: worried at all about them, and you know their potential 216 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: to cut down the nets as the national title team 217 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: or even to make the Final four. With these two 218 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: performances in the last two weeks, this really raises some 219 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: my my bros. 220 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: For me, Yeah, I wish that Jamar Smith's just had 221 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: more of a killer instinct in a way, like just 222 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: he would go out there and want instead of like 223 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 2: settling for three which he can make. I mean, he's 224 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: one of the most versatile players in the country, shot 225 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: shooting what over forty percent, he's seven foot I mean, 226 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: there's a reason why he might be the number one 227 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: overall pick in the draft, but he's I want him 228 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: go out there and just be like, I want to 229 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: take over the game, not I'm gonna sit here and 230 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: then I have a guy that's, you know, a foot 231 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: smaller than me covering me. I'm just going to settle 232 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: for this jumper. But yeah, I was watching the game. 233 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: I had Georgia and I was watching the game and 234 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: Auburn was up like fourteen. I was like, nope, I'm 235 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: turning this off. I'm gonna I'll turn I'll put it 236 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: back on with like five to go, and then I'll 237 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: hope that there's like a good couple of final minutes 238 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: from the backups. And then I keep seeing the score. 239 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell is going on? So I 240 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: flipped it back on, and yeah, I mean that's a team. 241 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: The just the athletic and talent advantage in that game 242 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: of Auburn over Georgia is massive, So I agree, and 243 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: then Bruce Pearl after the game is like, I think 244 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: alburn should have won that game. Georgia. You know, Georgia 245 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: beat Alabama. That's that's a hell of a win. They 246 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: get twenty, they complain about the free throw. It's like, 247 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 2: you were seventeen point favorite, you number one team in 248 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: the country. You should be like, we should have won 249 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: that game by thirty. Georgia deserve to win it and 250 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: wake your team up. So I thought it was I know, 251 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: he was just trying to support his team. I thought 252 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: it was a bizarre way to go about it at 253 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 2: the end. So yeah, I am. I am a bit 254 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: concerned about Auburn h as far as you know me. 255 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: They're a team that could lose to an eight or 256 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: nine and that second round for sure. B Jenny thoughts 257 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 2: on what you've seen from Auburn. 258 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting coming down the stretch here. 259 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: I just looked Auburn's minus one thousand. 260 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: To win the SEC. 261 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: They're two games up on Kentucky, obviously with the head 262 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: to head advantage. But they have some tricky dates and 263 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: one obviously here on Tuesday against Colin Wilson's Arkansas Red 264 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Hot Arkansas Razorbacks in Buddwalton Arena. They also got to 265 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: go on the road to Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi State, 266 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: all really tricky spots. Shooting aggression is going to come 267 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: for them a little bit. 268 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: Obviously. 269 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: They're still a really good, you know, shooting team, but 270 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't I think they're shooting a little bit above 271 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: their weight right now if you look at the shock 272 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: quality numbers. So I'm a little concerned. I do think 273 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: they might stumble a couple of dimes down the stretch, 274 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: So maybe taking a flyer in Kentucky at plus seven 275 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: fifty to win the SEC regular season. Might might not? 276 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: Might be worth a look? 277 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to tonight and tomorrow. We'll 278 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: start with you know, we each give a look of 279 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: what again that we're looking at for today and tomorrow, 280 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: but we'll also just cover briefly the game of the night, 281 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: and that's Kansas against Texas. I mentioned that Kansas will 282 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: traveled to Texas here, I mentioned that Kansas was swept 283 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: by Texas lashers. Then they were I think they were 284 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: supposed to play in the Big twelve tournament before COVID 285 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: canceled that game. Texas here one and a half point 286 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: home underdog. I could tell you that I took some Texas, 287 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: even though I just got done saying how impressed I 288 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: was with Kansas. But I make I actually make Texas 289 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: a one and a half point favory, and I hate 290 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: that I had to bet it because there's just something 291 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: that seems off to me about Texas. But I do 292 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: think that there's some things that they can do effectively 293 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: well against Kansas. I think that their bigs can actually 294 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: have some success at the rim for once. It's just 295 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: I mean Mitchell disappears, and I just so, but I 296 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: think they can actually have some success here. And I 297 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: do think that there's some regression coming in the shooting 298 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: department for Kansas. I mean, teams in the Big Twelve 299 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 2: are just not making open looks and overall they're shooting 300 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 2: twenty seven percent from three. Meanwhile, Texas is getting a 301 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: lot of open looks during Big Twelve play and not 302 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: really connecting on them. So I think that could work 303 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: on their favorite. Think they're only shooting like thirty two 304 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: percent in Big twelve play home hype spot for Texas. 305 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: They just need, they just desperately need one of these 306 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: big wins. I wouldn't be shocked they don't get it. 307 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: I got, but I got plus one of plus one 308 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: and a half minus one of five. I make them 309 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: one and a half point favorite. I'm still teetering on 310 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: just completely not believing in this team, but I did 311 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: back them tonight. Mike, I'll go to you first. What 312 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: do you see here of Kansas Texas? 313 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you're kind of dancing around the 314 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 3: fact that it's just it's like half of a team. 315 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: So defensively, they're doing everything possible, not only to be 316 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: efficient but also forcing teams into their style of play. 317 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 3: So their last four wins, they held every opponent to 318 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: fifty one points or less. Their first in scoring defense, 319 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: second in opponent assist a turnover ratio tenth, and shooting 320 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: efficiency defense. They're forceding sixteen turnovers the game. That's all great, 321 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: but you hit on it a little bit where it's like, offensively, 322 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: all of these pieces they were trying to put together 323 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: through the portal, particularly as it relates to Marcus Carr, 324 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: it just hasn't come together. So it's hard to get 325 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 3: excited despite the fact, you know, they knock off Iowa 326 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: State hold to fourteen for forty nine from the field. 327 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: Tennessee was a similar game, nineteen for fifty three for 328 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: the balls. I think they can muck this up, make 329 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: it ugly. And you know, Kansas we've talked about at 330 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 3: length really in the last month. This is going to 331 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: come down to Jalen Wilson and McCormick. You know, what 332 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: can they offer And for that reason, I actually compends 333 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 3: on that night with those two. Yeah, it absolutely depends 334 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: on the night. You know, they can then go in 335 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: either direction. I think we're going to join you on 336 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 3: this one the Longhorns. I think because of the spot, 337 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: because of the desperation they need it. I think they'll 338 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 3: get an electric home atmosphere, and I know what they're 339 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: going for in terms of game flow, so I think 340 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: that they can move Kansas out of their comfort zone. 341 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: And then it really just becomes a question of Cannabaji 342 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: get it done all by himself, and I don't think 343 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: he can. 344 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's it's the fact that like these 345 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: I don't really like these big, these quick turnaround games 346 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: and for these marquee matchups. But you know, for I 347 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: think that it would it has to benefit Texas in 348 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: this case. I mean, they were home on Saturday and 349 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: they blew out an opponent, Kansas an emotional win, even 350 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: though they blew out Bailor, but you know, they were 351 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: at home, so now they're going on the road, left 352 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: time to prepare rest. So I think that has to 353 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: work in Texas's favor, and I think Texas ultimately will 354 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: control the tempo. Kansas wants to play a little faster 355 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: get out in transition, and Texas wants to grind the 356 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: game to a halt, which I think they can more 357 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: effectively do at home. Bj what are you seeing here 358 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: with Kansas Texas. 359 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you hit the nail right in the head. The 360 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: biggest thing for Texas in this the one is they 361 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: have to be able to control the pace to their liking. 362 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: Because Kansas top seven percent in college basketball and transition offense, 363 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: while Texas third in the country in points for a 364 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: positionon allowed and how court defense. So obviously Texas plays 365 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: at a very very slow pace, so bringing Kansas down 366 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: to that pace is obviously going to benefit them. The 367 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: question I have with Texas is can they handle David 368 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: McCormick inside. They haven't really played a big man to 369 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: his level since I think Gonzaga early in the season, 370 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: and Gonzaga shot close to sixty three percent from inside 371 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: the arc. So if in, Texas is a good defensive 372 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: rebounding team, but obviously Kansas is number one in the 373 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: Big twelve. I agree with you guys at the spot 374 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: is really good for Texas. I think the shot quality numbers, 375 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: even though Kansas blew up Aylor, I'm pretty sure it 376 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: was close to fifty to fifty, which is insane. I 377 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: think that might be one of the biggest discrepancies of 378 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: the season. I'm not sure I'd have to go back 379 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: and look, but I agree with you. I'm probably gonna 380 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: pass on this one. I do agree. If I worked 381 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: to bet it, I would bet Texas. But yeah, the 382 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: spot is too good for the long horns in Austin 383 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: to get a big win. 384 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: It's done. It might not be about Texas stopping McCormick. 385 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: It's might be about McCormick stoppings. So that's sometimes he 386 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: just is not out there, all right. So it seems 387 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: like they have a consensus on either liking Texas, leaning 388 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: towards Texas, or would play Texas if you were going 389 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: to play it, all right, So let's move on to 390 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: a spot that we like each for tonight's gone, Mike, 391 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: I'll start with you anything you're targeting tonight. 392 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: So Chattanooga is a team I watched a lot this year. 393 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 3: Anyone who hasn't watched them, and you're missing out on 394 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: Alki Smith, you know Jean Baptiste. Together they average thirty 395 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 3: six points per game out of their back court. Both 396 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 3: of those guys shoot over forty percent from three. But 397 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: this is one of the rare spots on a total 398 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: I like over one thirty eight. Here, we're just digging 399 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: through some of the home away splits, this popped off 400 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: the page. To me, Mercer is one of the best 401 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: mid major teams in the country shooting at home, they 402 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 3: shoot over fifty five percent, and Chattanooga is a great 403 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 3: team in terms of their shooting traveling with them. 404 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 2: They shoot fifty two. 405 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 3: Point three percent on the road. That's forty eighth nationally. 406 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 3: There's a lots alike in terms of motivation here. You know, 407 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 3: Chattanooga has a half game lead on Furman in the Soocon, 408 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 3: so they're gonna to be focused. And when you look 409 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: at sokon home games for Mercer, the average one hundred 410 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: and forty two points total, Chattanooga away games one hundred 411 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 3: and forty two. So when I saw that one thirty eight, 412 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 3: I jumped on it quickly. I played up to one forty. 413 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 3: Last part here, what I really like in games where 414 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: I'm looking for, you know, when it's close to that 415 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 3: seventy seventy prediction or one hundred and forty points, I 416 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: should say I'm looking for really good foul shooting. Both 417 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 3: these teams are top thirty and foul shooting nationally. Chattanooga 418 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: just at seventy seven percent Mercer seventy seven point three percent. 419 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 3: So I'm not going to overthink it here. This is 420 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: a play I'm going to attack on to a lot 421 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: of my other ones tonight. As not necessarily a free multiplier, 422 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 3: but it's definitely that the crux of my card. I'm 423 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 3: building everything around this over one thirty eight? 424 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: Do you care that I mean this is this is 425 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: an odd spot and that these two teams vote. They 426 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 2: played each other on Saturday, Mercer I believe came back. 427 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: They were down at the half, but they came back 428 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: to win seventy seven sixty eight, which puts you out 429 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 2: one forty five? But does does that factor in your 430 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: andand Kevier? Do you like that more for the over 431 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: the under ord? Do you think it just doesn't matter? 432 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: I actually cared more about Desosa's availability. I haven't been 433 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: able to find any any reason why he was out 434 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: in that last game, but I think if he doesn't play, 435 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 3: it gives Mercer a better chance to score, at least 436 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 3: on the interior. He doesn't give them that that much offensively. 437 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: He's got, you know, some explosive post moves, but he's 438 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: just not as efficient as you'd like, and really not 439 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: chipping in in a significant way. So if he doesn't play, 440 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: I actually view that as a plus. 441 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: Here, yep, pj W, what are you looking for tonight? 442 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna head down to the swack tonight. Al Korn 443 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: State versus Mississippi Valley State. Shout out Jerry Rice. I'm 444 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: sure he's a loyal listener of the BBOC and has 445 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: just been waiting for a Delta Devil reference here on 446 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: the pods. So hey, Missipi Valley State's not the worst 447 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: team in the country by Ken Palm. They're third worst, 448 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: but they actually haven't been that bad in conference play. 449 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: They got blown out by Southern and Texas Southern, but 450 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: every other game they've held their opponents at least within 451 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: ten points. 452 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: And if you look. 453 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: At the shot quality numbers, I think that they're the 454 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: unluckiest team in terms of the three point percentage allowed 455 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: versus act with the shot quality three point percentages, So 456 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: a little regression coming their way. Alcorn State takes, you know, 457 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: one of the lowest three point rates in the country, 458 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: and typically a lot of Missisippi Valley State games are 459 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 1: just entirely played in transition. Well, both these teams are 460 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: bottom three in the Swack in transition defense, but Missippi 461 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: Valley State, they're actually top three in internal per percentage 462 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: both offensive and defense, while Alcorn State turns it over 463 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: at the third highest rate in the SWACK. So getting 464 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: ten points at home for the Delta Devils, I think 465 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: is a tad too high. So give me Jerry Rice's 466 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: Missippi Valley State tonight. 467 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: Mississippi Valley State. Wow, I did not expect you to 468 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: go there. But yeah, they have been better in conference 469 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: outside of those two bloops than I was expecting. They've 470 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: improved in my power ratings since the beginning of the year. 471 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: They had a surprise win up Prairie View as well. 472 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Alcorn State has only beaten one opponent by more 473 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: than ten points this seasons. 474 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, if I was going to better, I have to 475 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: bet at Mike. Would you would you get. 476 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: Involved in As someone who's bet Alcorn State three times 477 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: this year and they failed to cover all three spreads, 478 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 3: I can affirm that they're not a team that's running 479 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: away from the competition in the SWACK. And also last 480 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: year I watched Missippi Valley State game. The official attendance 481 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: was fifteen and the online attendance counter on Facebook Live 482 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: was seven, so I was one of twenty two people 483 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: on Earth who watched that game. That certainly was the 484 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: worst team of all of college basketball last season, and 485 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: I agree. I think they take a nice little step 486 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: forward from totally atrocious to just really bad. 487 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: So I think it's a winning I like that, Yeah, 488 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: and win. 489 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: That yere, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Virginia 490 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: and fade Duke. It's kind of a whole dress spot. 491 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: But if I can get eleven and a half twelve 492 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: with Virginia in conference, yeah, the slowest team in the 493 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: country obviously, again, three hundred fifty eighth in adjust tempo, 494 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: twelve points in a Virginia game, it's still a lot. Now. 495 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 2: The defense is not as good. They're ninety fifth in 496 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: adjusted officially. Usually this is the team's top ten fifteen 497 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: to five. But there's the number of possessions in their games. 498 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be low. And I think that their 499 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: offense is gonna have some success against this young Duke 500 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 2: defense and Duke. I just love this Duke team when 501 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: they're able to get out and transition and run. And 502 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: I just don't think Virginia is gonna let them do 503 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: that that much, and I mentioned their youth. It's like, 504 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: all right, you have a big win against North Carolina 505 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: front with a quick turnaround to a Virginia game. Tony 506 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 2: Bennett the number one most profitable coach against the spread 507 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 2: as a road conference underdog over the past twenty years. 508 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 2: Huge sample size too, And I think the reason for 509 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: that is the way that Virginia plays. They travel right 510 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 2: like it's and you're usually getting I just think they 511 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: take away some of the aspects that are built into 512 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: home court advantage, right, so they don't turn the ball over, 513 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 2: they play really slow, they don't let teams get out interns. 514 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: It kind of take away the crowd with how they play. 515 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: So I don't think that home court advantage is as much. 516 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: And sometimes you get, you know, a much bigger swing 517 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 2: in the point spread and just points in general. And 518 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of points with Virginia. It's always 519 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: a little appetizing. So I'm gonna go with the who's 520 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: And then I also played some Montana. I think Montana 521 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 2: you mentioned a shock quality discrepancy. Take a look at 522 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Montana from UH Saturday. They got blown out surprisingly by 523 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: Idaho State, who was one of the worst teams in 524 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 2: the country. They lost by twenty three, So but I 525 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 2: think the shock quality have them winning that game if 526 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: you have it in front of you. 527 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but that sound. 528 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's so many like there was I think 529 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: a couple from Saturday that were just completely egregious. I'm 530 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: pretty sure Duke NC was pretty close to fifty to 531 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: fifty as well, because if you know, if you remember 532 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, UNC had a ton 533 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: of open shots and just could not hit anything. Obviously, 534 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: do grant away with it, but yeah, there were a 535 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: ton of like crazy discrepancies from Saturday. 536 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think there's a great spot for a 537 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: Montana team that I think is pretty good. And they 538 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: had a really tough loss at Weber on Thursday, and 539 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: I think they had some of that hangover effect on 540 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: Saturday at Idaho State. Now they come back home. It's 541 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: a pretty good Southern Utah team, but I think they 542 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: match up well against them. So I think it's a 543 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: really good spot to back Montana after a horrid loss 544 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 2: against an Idaho State team that's just terrible and they 545 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: won basically every matchup over the best ten years against 546 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, those are two looks for me, Mike. Any 547 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: thoughts on those or anything else you. 548 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: Want to add, I'll make this one quick. I'm also 549 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: on Florida A and M tonight against Prairie View. This 550 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: is an opportunity for the Rattlers. They've made the Big 551 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: Dance since seven. They got some really nice scoring options. MJ. 552 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 3: Rudolph or Randolph. He is one of their best scores 553 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 3: in the entire league. And they just had a really 554 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: weird game against Texas Southern where they couldn't throw it 555 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: in the ocean in the second half. They missed a 556 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 3: bunch of foul shots, ended up losing going away in 557 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: that one. So I think that's kind of baked into 558 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 3: the line here. I think it's off by about three 559 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 3: or four points. They're a game out behind Southern, even 560 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 3: though they play in two different divisions in the Swack. 561 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 3: They give out the number one seed just based on 562 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: overall conference record. So a game behind with about six 563 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 3: or seven to go, this is must win territory for 564 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: the Rattlers. So I really like them in the. 565 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: Spot Florida, and they never shoot threes. Every year if 566 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 2: you look back, they just don't shoot threes at all. 567 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to tomorrow night and give 568 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: a look each beat out to start with you what's 569 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: on your radar for another pretty appetizing slate. 570 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are obviously a ton of great games on Tuesday, 571 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna kind of go not completely off the 572 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: beaten path, not all the way to swack, but I'm 573 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna go to the A ten Rhode Island on the 574 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: road against VCU. Rhode Island's lost five straight game, including 575 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: a really bad home loss this weekend to UMass. Now 576 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: they have to go to the Seagal Center. But Rhode 577 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: Island is one of the more unlucky teams in the 578 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: A ten, while VCU is the luckiest team in the 579 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: conference fourteen and seven actual record but has an eleven 580 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: and ten shot quality record. VCU obviously an outstanding defense. 581 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: I think they're still a third in defensive efficiency, but 582 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: this is a decent matchup for Rhode Island. They're pretty 583 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: good press offense, top twenty percent in college basketball in 584 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: points per possession percentergy. VCU also the lowest three point 585 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: percentage in the conference. Are allowing the lowest three point 586 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: percentage of the conference, but Rhode Island doesn't take a 587 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: whole lot of threason. In fact, around forty two percent 588 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: of their shots come at the rim and they're shooting 589 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: around sixty two percent on those shots, so a pretty 590 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: good matchup for them. Also, VCU allows the highest free 591 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: throw rate in the A ten, and the VCU offense 592 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: it's it's quite terrible, in fact, three hundred and tenth 593 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: in offensive efficiency, terrible. A lot of their shots come 594 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: from inside the arc. They're incredibly inofficially around forty eight 595 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: percent from two point range during conference Playwall Road Ielan 596 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: is tenth in the country in two point field bill 597 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: percentage allowed, and VCU turns the ball over at one 598 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: of the highest rates in the country, while Rhode Island 599 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: is top seventy in turnover percentage. On defense, Ken Palm 600 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: has this at VCU minus five. I would obviously love 601 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: Rhode Island at plus five, but I play the Rams 602 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: down the plus three and a half. 603 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: M crime, yep, PJ. What are you looking at? I mean, 604 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 2: so sorry, Mike, what are you looking at for tomorrow? 605 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 3: So this one, it's just going to come down to 606 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: the number. I'm interested because these two teams are kind 607 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 3: of headed in the opposite direction. You got Marquette in 608 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: the last six weeks, a sweep of Nova, sweep of 609 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 3: Seed in the Hall, win over Providence, winover Xavier. They're 610 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 3: certainly doing it with turnovers fourteen turnovers per game. They 611 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 3: can't rebound, which isn't a good look against Yukon. The 612 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: Yukon team coming in, they can also turn you over 613 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: a decent amount fourteen turnovers sports per game, six point 614 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: seven blocks second nationally. Doing you know, they're up to 615 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 3: their old tricks, third in offensive rebounding percentage nationally. But 616 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: they're averaging sixty two points per game across their last 617 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: three and that's only one win against two losses. That's 618 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 3: a Paul performance. Also, just they looked off offensively, and 619 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: I guess this is really kind of a gut check. 620 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 3: Do you think that this is just them running cold 621 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: for a little bit, or have they run out of 622 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: gas offensively and they were just playing above their heads, 623 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: Because everything that I thought I knew about this Yukon 624 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 3: team is that they were gonna be able to do 625 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 3: it on the inside, both in terms of turning the 626 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 3: ball over, turning shots away, getting rebounds, killing you on 627 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: the offensive glass. But they were playing so much better 628 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: even three weeks ago. So I'm going to go ahead 629 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 3: and put my faith in the Huskies as long as 630 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 3: I don't have to give more than three in this game. 631 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 3: And really, I think in terms of the national rankings, 632 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: based on where they are right now, it should almost 633 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 3: be flipped. I think Marquette has certainly earned a higher 634 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 3: national ranking than Yukon. So I'm interested to hear your 635 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 3: take on this because the Huskies are a team that 636 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 3: if you asked me, you know, even ten days ago, 637 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 3: I would have said that they're probably a good look 638 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: to get to the second weekend. But the way that 639 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: they're playing, maybe it's just the nature of the Big 640 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 3: East being a little bit deeper, maybe than we thought 641 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: even two months ago. But it seems like they've just 642 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: hit a rough patch and they're having real difficulty running 643 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: their sets, getting anything going offensively. So I'd be interested 644 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 3: to hear what you guys think. 645 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're running a bit unlucky with three 646 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: point shoot, the defensive three point shooting they still have, 647 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: you know, I think they match up well with Markutt 648 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: And this is just like a Yukon's a really interesting 649 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: case because I look at them, and I'm like, all right, 650 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: they're eighteen, what are they eighteenth? And ken Tom and 651 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: but they lost two in a row. If they lose 652 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: to Marquette, then you're at Xavier at Saint like, all 653 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're on the bubble. Like they have 654 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: that Auburn win and double overtime on a neutral court 655 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: to kind of rely on as a huge one because 656 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: other than that, it's like, all right, the you had 657 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: the win, I guess what. Saint Bonnie's on a neutral 658 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: doesn't look like shit now, No one cares about that. 659 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: They did win at Marquette earlier this year, so they're 660 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: looking too sweet Marquette like this, but they don't have 661 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 2: a ton of like really impressive wins, you know in 662 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: the Big East. But they beat Butler, so all of 663 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: a sudden you lose, Like then then you got Xavier 664 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: and Villanova coming up, and after a pretty rough stretch, 665 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: so this is like, we need to win this game. 666 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: We lost too straight. Marquette's I kind of fat and happy. 667 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: They're off that sweeping Villanova last Wednesday. So yeah, I 668 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: think it's a really good spot. Would love to get 669 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: three with Yukon. I think they'll be Okay, Ultimately, I 670 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 2: think that's a team that probably is the ceiling of 671 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: the second weekend, and they won't be easy to play 672 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 2: because I mean they can battle you on the boards 673 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: and just stay in games and they won't let you 674 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 2: kind of run away. I don't think once they face 675 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 2: some of these teams out of the Big East, but 676 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: I think that's kind of their ceiling is probably the 677 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen ish. I'll throw one out there tomorrow, and 678 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: it's dependent on Miles playing for TCU. He was out 679 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: and I mean he's just obviously very massive for them, 680 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: and he didn't play on Saturday and they got blown 681 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: out by Kansas State. This is the team with NCAA 682 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: tournament potential, but they need to start getting some wins, 683 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: and that Kansas State the home loss will not help. 684 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 2: This is a revenge spot from a game where they 685 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 2: were up the entire game at Oklahoma State and blew 686 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 2: it in the final two minutes. Just they give up 687 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: a seven er run, just an inexplicable Oklahoma State win. 688 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 2: And Oklahoma State this is a team that I still 689 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: like to fade in bad spots. Right, So they already 690 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 2: beat TCU, They're coming off a win over the arrival 691 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 2: at home, they're going to TCU, you know, a couple 692 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: of days later on a Tuesday. They're not eligible for 693 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: the postseason. So like for these for some of these spots, 694 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: you know, I just I have confidence in fading them. 695 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 2: So it'll depend if Miles he had a wrist injury 696 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: and so didn't play against Kansas State. So keep an 697 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 2: eye on the action work capa see if I play there. 698 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: But I think it's a good spot. I also had more. 699 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 2: I also had Yukon circled like you, Mike, depending on 700 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: the line b Jenny thoughts on any of those. 701 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about spots all the time. The Yukon 702 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: spot is about as good as it gets. Obviously, coming 703 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: off the bad loss to Villanova, Marquette fourth luckiest team 704 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: in college basketball per shot quality. You know, if you 705 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: look at their defensive efficiency numbers, so on Ken Palm 706 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: they'reround twenty six, but on shot quality they're around sixty. 707 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: So they're due for some negative aggression when it comes 708 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: to shooting. It's it's a team that's just running way 709 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: too hot, and event hopefully they'll come back down to earth. 710 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: But I've also been saying about Providence and they refuse 711 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: to stop coming back down to earth, so we'll see. 712 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's an unbelievable spot for Connecticut. Obviously 713 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: i'd love them at minus three, but you know, depending 714 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: on the number, I'll probably end up on the Huskies 715 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. 716 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 2: But the best bet I made all weekend was not 717 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 2: fading Providence on Sunday. Yeah. 718 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't resist because you know, it's one 719 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: of those things that if Providence would not covered or 720 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: even lost to Georgetown, I would have felt so much 721 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: worse not being on it than just losing. So I 722 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: decided to just bite the ball. And of course they 723 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: went on a sixteen old run in the second half 724 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: to just put the game away. 725 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, I was. I was like, man, Georgetown's 726 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 2: up at the half. I was like, don't, don't, don't 727 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 2: let them lose this game. But yeah, the Providence when 728 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 2: I went to run Markette, Yeah, you just watched them too. 729 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: They made some they make some crazy shots. There's definitely 730 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 2: some offensive progression coming. But all right, that'll do it 731 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 2: for us.
