Speaker 2: croup for the wind God big a miracle of the water.

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,400

00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: three man Weave crew. For Weave Wednesdays, we got Kai McEwan,

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: We've got Matt Cox here. Every Wednesday morning we're dropping

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: a new BBOC episode talking all things betting in the

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: world of college basketball. Today's episode, if you've been with

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: us before, you know what you're getting. We're going live

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Dog of the Week. We've got some Power games of

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: the Week, mid major games of the Week, a trash

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Man Pick of the Week, A spotlight section at the

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: end on the best February at AATs coaches, gentlemen, gonna

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: shed some light on those best and worst. I guess

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: we'll slip that in there too, But without further ado,

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: let's get into the outline here. We start with live

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Dog of the Week, our favorite section.

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: Where is mine?

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Where is mine?

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Last week big UA b win. Matthew, I know it

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: was hard for you. We didn't get you to commit

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: fully to fading your owls. But Kay and I jumped

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: on the UAB train and they got it done. In

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: ot against FAU. Are you sad you did not bet

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: against your owls.

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the right play. You could argue you

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: could have gone back toss saying well with Wichita overtime

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: again did the owls find themselves? But for the second

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: time this conversation, they won overtime by double digits. So

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: kind of a weird little conference round here for my owls. Kai,

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: they're playing with fire. They better wake up, wake up

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: for the journey man. Wake up.

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope they wake up to win the regular

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: season two, says this backer of FAU American Conference futures.

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: We'll see on Sunday they go to South Florida. We

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: also got Louisville with a very easy cover. Unfortunately not outright.

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: They lost at the buzzer. They tied it with six

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: seconds left, did not get back on defense and gave

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: up a layup to lose the game to Syracuse. Oregon

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: State covered and my little rogue Rice pick got absolutely

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: drilled by SMU. I can't figure out Rice. They are

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: a complete whackaball team for me. Let's get into this

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: week's slate, fellows. I've got two from Wednesday too, from

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Thursday to discuss with you. One at the high end

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: of the spectrum on Wednesday in terms of quality of game.

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: One at the very low end of the spectrum. Start

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: at the low end. Chicago State, our independent D one

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: basketball team here in the city of Chicago. They are

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: plus nine on the road at Eastern Kentucky. KII love

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Chicago State. We think they're feisty. This is their final

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: D one game of the year. Wow, they did just

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: get blasted at South Carolina State, so perhaps there's nothing there.

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: And again, this is a team in the EKAU stepping

59
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: outside of the conference. Not sure why they care. Whereas

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: this is like the finale for Chicago State. I think

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: you get a home run cougar's effort here.

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: What do you think I do too? And like I

63
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: said somewhere that the South Carolina State game is a

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: little bit different. Number one, the spread was like right

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: around a pick. Number two. South Krolina State's not out

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: of Chicago States weight class so to speak. So I

67
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: think it's a bit different dynamic of South Klina State

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: really wants to win this game. They don't have many

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: wins this season. It's a different mindset versus a team

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: like a power conference team a Duquine we saw the

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: other day, or we's Stercentucky, a team that's dominating its

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: conference right now, that's very good, that clearly is out

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: of Chicago States class. I think we do get a

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: big effort from the Cougars. I'm not going to take

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: him out right, but I would lean towards them covering

76
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: for sure in this game.

77
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Are you jumping in on this game, Matthew, Well.

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, just some disrespect to Indiana Northwest, the true finale

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: for Chicago State, the.

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Game I said last game.

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: They should line that game Monday, February nineteenth, folks, Circlear calendars. Yeah,

82
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: at Chicago State. I think I'm of five bet on

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: against the season. I actually faded them or bet on

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: them against the other MEAC team early in You're Delaware State,

85
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: and I lost that one. So I'm officially putting them

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: on the shelf for my betting in portfolio this year.

87
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, matt can I interest you in Arkansas

88
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: as a big home dog on Wednesday night against Tennessee.

89
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: I can't. You sure can't, Okay. Musclman is thirty eight

90
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and twenty four against the spread in February in his lifetime.

91
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: I feel like we always see this that Arkansas is

92
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: terrible in January and trends back up. Kaila won too

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: their last three. However, this team might just be bad.

94
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I do also want to point out there, did you

95
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: see their tweet after they won this weekend?

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: I did not.

97
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: Instead of we got that dog in US, it said

98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: we got a dog in US, And I don't think.

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: I don't think that's real good phrasing for the Razorbacks there.

100
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: But maybe they are turning up. Their rotation is still

101
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: really bizarre, like three of their starters played under ten

102
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: minutes last game. Musselman's mixing and matching. Any chance they

103
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: can compete with Tennessee here at home at Budwalt.

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brazil is still out of the line up.

105
00:04:59,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I believe.

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: I do think there's a chance they compete. Famous last

107
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: words similar to Shaiwa say this is the game that

108
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: I think Arkansas will cover. He said, very very cautiously.

109
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: But I will not pick them to win out right.

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: I love this Tennessee team. We also saw Auburn just

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 2: blast Arkansas at Arkansas, so it's possible they really still

112
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: can't step up against the SEC elite. Matthew, Yeah, that's

113
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: my concern. I guess the only saving grace is their

114
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: bigs are playing better Jalen Graham and Makai Mitchell and

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: have sort of at least solidified some stability up front there.

116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: But as I was teething up Frotte, I kind of

117
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: think this team is den the water. Even though Eric

118
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: Marshallman or Eric Musclemarch whatever his official nickname is, has

119
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: a annual tradition of doing this, so we'll see.

120
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one might just not have the gear to

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: really do that. I know they beat Georgia at home

122
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: this weekend, but I think they were laying three and

123
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: a half and the only one by three, so it

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: didn't even cover that one. It just might not have

125
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: that kind of run in them. All right, Thursday two

126
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: that I really like and we'll be taking both of

127
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: will clarify the picks at the end of the section.

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry. You see Santa Barbara plus eight at UC

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: San Diego and Maine plus seven at Bryant. Matt, I'm

130
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: going to you first because I know you love the

131
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Bryant Bulldogs this year, and they have been really good

132
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: in conference, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

133
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: which is not really what we anticipate out of that team.

134
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: But Maine just beat them twelve days ago. I think

135
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: they've got a little something to them. Very experienced team

136
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: in that league, trending back cup maybe towards preseason expectations.

137
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Which of these two you see Santa Barbara? You see

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: San Diego or Maine Bryant are you looking at.

139
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: I want to say I love you see Santa Barbara,

140
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: but I can't say I love them because they've just

141
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: really not been that good. It's basically a team of

142
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: one point five players a Jay Mitchell has just no help.

143
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Like Trilora has been a beast upfront, but his supporting

144
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: cast is really really dicey. I've watched a few of

145
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: their games at the Thunderdough where they have an awesome

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: home crowd and they just laying a Teams have just

147
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: buried them early in the game. But this one gym,

148
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: they are on the road, maybe an odd anti home

149
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: court thing. Or they're just like better outside of their

150
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: home environment.

151
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: They've lost four straight home games and one four straight

152
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: away games.

153
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: You know what, that trend is real to start the

154
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: conference year. I'm going to inclined to think it's going

155
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: to continue, especially you're at an all time great price

156
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: here right. Like if you had told me what the

157
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: spread would be preseason, kay, I don't know. If there's

158
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: a more jaw dropping spread then you see Sane Lang

159
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: seven or eight to U see San Barbers. So this

160
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: is my only official play of the week. I think

161
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: the Gauchos, just on the value alone and the fact

162
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: that you see San Diego may have hit their apex,

163
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: seems like a pretty good bet. Yeah, it's a crazy spread.

164
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: I say that knowing full well. And I took Santa

165
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: Barbara in the first matchup between these two, and you

166
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: see San Diego. They won by seven, but they dominated

167
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: the game. They were up by twenty four at one point,

168
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: as Santa Babs doesn't make a lot of sense. This

169
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: team preseason was supposed to be top three in the conference.

170
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: I'd say the very least many thought they'd win the league,

171
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: and they'd been bad. Their defense has been horrible, but

172
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: I do think this is a good situation for them.

173
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: I will be adding them to the old card here.

174
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I love it, Kay, I'm glad we got you talked

175
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, another little situational factor there. You see,

176
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: San Diego's last game was overtime at Hawaii. Now they've

177
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: had a full week off coming back Thursday to Thursday,

178
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: so it's not like I'm expecting jet lag or anything,

179
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: but I do think that could have a little bit

180
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: of an effect mentally, just coming all the way back

181
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: from the island that we always hunt those spots when

182
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: teams return in November from Maui, and I think this

183
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: there's a chance there at U see Santa Barbara again

184
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: preseason nine absolutely ridiculous, and ucsp's been much better on

185
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: the road in league play, so I'm gonna go with them.

186
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: The other one Maine and Bryant. Like I said, Maine

187
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: just won twelve days ago, so I actually think there's

188
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: something there. Brian's we do think of as a erradic

189
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: because they take a lot of threes, but they're not

190
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: taking as many this year, and again the defense has

191
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: actually been much better. But I'm still going with it.

192
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride with Maine. So, fellas, do you have

193
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: any others on the Wednesday or Thursday that you have circled?

194
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Matthew is raising his hand for the listener at home.

195
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: Matt, go ahead, I'm gonna ride the roll Humps Campbell Ambles,

196
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: the fighting Camels. I should specify Thursday, Jim, they traveled

197
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: to Monmouth first time. That mom with a young ish

198
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: team is seeing the very nuanced offense that Kevin mckehon runs.

199
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: And they just struggled with William and Mary last weekend,

200
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: right like kind of a similar team that runs a

201
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: lot of intricate types of sets got caught in the

202
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: low possession back and forth Nippintuch game needed a late

203
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: couple possessions from Xander Rice to Squeak by the Tribe.

204
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: I think they're caught in a dog fight again. So

205
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: I think getting you know, three to one on the

206
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: money line. Three to one probably will be that price roughly.

207
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: I think the Campbels should have been quietly really solid

208
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: in the coastal this year.

209
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: Can be a live dog there, mat Would they be

210
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: better if it was on Wednesday? Eat your camel's on

211
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: hump Day? Okay?

212
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Right, I'm all right? Crossing off the sheet now, thank you.

213
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: That was the final point that needed needed it. Kai

214
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: anything for you that you want to jump in here,

215
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: just the ones we've.

216
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: Discussed, Just the ones who discussed jam. I'm just riding

217
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: with Babs and again, I think Arkansas will get the cover.

218
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: Lean toward Chicago's takeetting at cover as well.

219
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I am taking Chicago States both against the spreading out right.

220
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: You see Santa Barbara also both and you know what,

221
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I'll just go spread on Maine. I think they're gonna

222
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: hang around with Bryant on Thursday. Matt, you were going

223
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you see Santa Barbara and Campbell.

224
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll like Campbell. I'm not going to bring up

225
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: and then not add it. That's not fun. Yeah, I

226
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: get too too for special for me.

227
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Love it all right, let's get into blowout city section

228
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: number two. Here. Recaple last week and Zaga smashed Portland

229
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: by thirty two unsurprising, just could not guard in the

230
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: lane at all. Indiana State smacked Valpo by forty Kyle.

231
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: We were wondering if that was going to be a

232
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: letdown spot for Indiana State after the Drake Wuin it

233
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: was not. They took took care of business pretty easily

234
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: last week and Wright State was up twenty at halftime

235
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: on Detroit. The let time back in the game only

236
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: one by seven, so a two to one blowout City

237
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: section last week. Three more this week starting on Wednesday,

238
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: with Yukon coming here to Chicago visiting to Paul the

239
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: absolute dregs of Power Conference Society. Yukon twenty three point

240
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: favorite here matt Yukon won by twenty nine in Hartford

241
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: their top five nationally and two point percentage offense and defense.

242
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: That is really hard to do. I just don't see

243
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: how this one stays remotely close. Yukon has has been

244
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: focused enough to blow out. They just blew out Georgetown

245
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: on the road. Why can't they do it to De Paul?

246
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: And Dan Hurley has no like empathy or pity at all,

247
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: Like I just think he goes in and wants to

248
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: smash teams. And for the exception I think Missisi Valley

249
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: State early in the year where they vividly, like explicitly

250
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: did not try and run it up to an insane amount.

251
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: I think this one gets out of hand pretty quickly.

252
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: De Paul has issues trying, So if you're going to

253
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: maybe not try in this game, you're not going to

254
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: cover twenty three points or whatever. The heck this pread

255
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: is going to be.

256
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. If they put an early run on, this is

257
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: de Paul rollover as this could be Dan Hurley's last

258
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: time the blast to Paul before his runner. Who knows.

259
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're done. Man, They're going to smash them.

260
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: I like you con there our shirts to Paul.

261
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, our shirts deserves better, I'm telling you.

262
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, that's true for shirts his perspective, don't take the.

263
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Paul the other one. On Wednesday, vm I had it

264
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: to Furman. These two played early in the year at

265
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: vm I Furman one by forty. It was a complete clowning.

266
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: VMI has had some troubles recently, and they were missing

267
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: Brendan Watkins, their leading score over the weekend. You take

268
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: him out, it just gets even more dicey. They're playing

269
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: super fast in league plays. There's a ton of possessions

270
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: to potentially run up a blowout here. Kai are we

271
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: continuing to fade the key debts heading on the road

272
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: to the Paladins?

273
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: Man, I guess so. Furman just not looked very good

274
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: lately for whatever reason, even though they've gotten healthy, They've

275
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: still really struggled. They've lost a couple of games. They

276
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: barely beat East Tennessee State. I want to say the

277
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: last game. So I'm not super confident in this one.

278
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: I do think the over will hit, just because BMI

279
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: overs they've been insane lately. Yeah, I lean towards Furrman.

280
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: I'm not super confident though.

281
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Totals have gone way up in VMI games. They're

282
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: eight and four since the turn of the new year.

283
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: The numbers are getting high and higher. But Matt, the

284
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: possession counts are crazy, and again this was a complete

285
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: blowout the first time around. I like this one a lot,

286
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Matt to.

287
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 2: You, Yeah, it's like call it get I know it's

288
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: just one of the weekend but it still feels like

289
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: a get right spot for a team that's seven and

290
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: five looking to still kind of get right ish, And

291
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: this is a really it's like going to like the

292
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: local playground and playing a bunch of middle schoolers does

293
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: a get right type of game. And it's just no

294
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: offense to VMI, but it's just sort of what this

295
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: roster and this team is at this point. It's truly

296
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: a patriotish experimentation for next year and beyond for Andrew Wilson.

297
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: So a tough spot, but yeah, I think it's a

298
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: blood bath yep.

299
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: And then for the last one in this blowout City section,

300
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: going back to the WCC, one of the big bullies,

301
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: Gonzaga slash Saint Mary's taking on one of the meager competitors,

302
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's at home laying seventeen against Pepperdine. The Gales

303
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: have been destroying bad West Coast foes. They have not

304
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: played Pepperdine yet, but they beat Portland and Pacific four

305
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: times by forty five, forty two, forty one, and twenty five.

306
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: I think they're fully capable of blowing out another team here,

307
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: Matt that has shaky shot selection. You just can't do

308
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: that against Mary's. They will hold you scoreless for fifteen

309
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: minutes and then before you know it, you're down thirty.

310
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's won by twenty nine last year. What do

311
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: you think do the Gales blow out the Waves?

312
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: I do, And this is the first time they're playing

313
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: this season. If there's like a rematch situation, I actually

314
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: might give a slight edge to Pepperdine, like at least

315
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: they've seen Saint Mary's stuff before and they can I

316
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: don't know, just or react and or Saint Mary's may

317
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: take them lighter on the second time, but first time

318
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: the Gaels still trying to stuff their at large resume.

319
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: I think this is a true runaway as well, so

320
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: another good selection.

321
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Jimbo Kai ironically having the two teams with the longest

322
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: winning streak in the country tied for in this section

323
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: in Connecticut and Saint Mary's.

324
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: I agree, Jim. I think it's a bloodbath gales by

325
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: a million gales by the way, they want to know.

326
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: In their last one though, look out they went over

327
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: the Lions or the.

328
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: We can yeah, sell high, sell high as they go

329
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: to play Saint Mary's in Maraga. No thank you. All right,

330
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: that's it for blow Out City. It's time to get

339

Speaker 1: Gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler. Oh. I can

340
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: feel it all right, guys. The power Game section of

341
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: the week. It's a little week this week, a little soft,

342
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: not not the big time showdowns that we typically like

343
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: to see here. But Matt, there's a huge one for

344
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: the SEC standings.

345
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: On Wednesday.

346
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: South Carolina is headed to the jungle taken on Auburn,

347
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: and this is a ten point spread per ken Pom.

348
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: But I think that really understates how good South Carolina

349
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: has been, especially with Colin Murray Boyles exploding. He is

350
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: their stud freshman, had mono nucleosis to start the year.

351
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: Now he just put up thirty one over the weekend

352
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: in a big game Cox win. Of course, Auburn's great

353
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: at home eight and four against the spread, covering by

354
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: an average of four game. Matt, what do you think

355
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: happens between South Carolina and Auburn on Wednesday?

356
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a closer game, a lower possession game

357
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: than the market indicates. I know KEMPOM has a sixty

358
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: five possession affair, which feels really low for anything involving Halburn.

359
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: But just look at South Carolina's game so far this year, right,

360
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: they help Painterbil to fifty five over the weekend, brought

361
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: George down to sixty one, sixty two possessions against Old missed,

362
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: and to play much faster like Lamont Paris has effectively

363
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: dictated every game on their terms and they've won the

364
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: majority of those games. Because of that, they're more physical,

365
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: tougher to slow a team down the road. It's going

366
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: to be I think for the game Cocks, but they've

367
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: just been game all year in the market. As you mentioned,

368
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: it's been slow to keep up to their rating, right,

369
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: like they're covering been not by massive margins where it's like, okay,

370
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: four games in the value of backing them are right

371
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: in that way or gone like they have kind of

372
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: nicely tiptoed up and KEMPOM just slowly enough where there

373
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: is still a value if you think this team is

374
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: likely legit top thirty team, and I don't know, just

375
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: with the way they've played in certain spots, I'm kind

376
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: of sold. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how, but

377
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: they're awesome. I think a lot of it has to

378
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: do with coaching, and you're right, they've been crawling in

379
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 2: the SEC this season offensively, that means they're dictating tempo

380
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: and their defense has been fantastic and they had not

381
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: lost a game by more than double digits besides that

382
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: Alabama blowout. They've really been competitive in a lot of

383
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: these games. They beat Tennessee on the road, which is impossible.

384
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: Auburn different animal at home. Ten points does seem like

385
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 2: a lot for this South Carolina team. I can see

386
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: Auburn covering it. I would lean towards South Carolina, but

387
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: this is different than Auburn on the road, and they've

388
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: really shown that they step up on their home floor.

389
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: So a really tough one to pick for me. It's

390
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: gonna be weird to see, like a fifteenth ranks South

391
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Carolina be a ten point dog for the folks out

392
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: there in the ether, But I lean towards Auburn.

393
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: I think, ooh, okay, yeah, I'm curious what the number

394
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: is because I sort of think the market will be ten. Yeah. No,

395
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: South Carolina iss maybe a little undervalued. There what we're saying.

396
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: I say it every time we talk about Auburn home.

397
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: No team thrives on like the energy of a crowd

398
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: the way they do, like the pressing. Katie Johnson is

399
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: like a different person when he's playing at home versu

400
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: when he's on the road and doesn't have that like

401
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: juice to feed off of. You block a shot and

402
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: suddenly they're out. In transition, Jalen Williams is thrown down

403
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: a windmill dunk. That's really tough to deal with. You've

404
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: got to be able to survive the runs. But as

405
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Kay said, South Carolina has been really good on the road,

406
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: winning at Tennessee. They're only down one at Alabama at halftime,

407
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: and then the wheels just completely came off in the

408
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: second half. I think they compete here. I think they

409
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: keep that one close. Ultimately Auburn wins, but I trust

410
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: the slowdown game Cocks to keep it close. Next up

411
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: in the ACC Miami Florida headed to Clemson. Tigers just

412
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: hit a huge week on the road last week, going

413
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and Syracuse, getting two wins to maintain

414
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: a very very strong NCAA tournament resume. Miami really needs

415
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: us to stay in the bubble conversation. They are on

416
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: the outer fringes of it. They've already beaten Clemson once

417
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: this year kai they won by thirteen on January third.

418
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Should this have been in the Live Dog section of

419
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: the week. Can Miami go to Little John and complete

420
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: the sweep?

421
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But I think eight points lots

422
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: of lay for Clemson. They haven't really been blowing teams

423
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: out to the point where I think they should be

424
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: laying this many points, especially to a team in Miami

425
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: who still has talent. They're not playing very well this season,

426
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: but they're definitely a talented team, obviously well coach with

427
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: Lara Naga. They've certainly dealt with a ton of injuries

428
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: this year. I mean keisha On George is the latest

429
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: guy to go down for them, but they've had Cleveland

430
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: out of the lineup. They've had oh Mir was in

431
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: and out of the lineup. It's been a tough season

432
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: for them. I lean towards them covering eight just because

433
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: of Clemson not being a great large favorite in my eyes,

434
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: Matthew Obviously Little John tough place to play, but I

435
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: do think Miami can hang around. Yeah, I mean, they've

436
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: lost a home to Georgia tack, they beat Leal by six.

437
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: They lost Virginia at a home they like three games.

438
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you. I think this pread won't

439
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: be eight again. Other one where I think they kem

440
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: palm production and the market will differ by at least

441
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: a point or so. As frustrating as that is, but

442
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: I think the Canes will keep this close even if

443
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 2: it's like five or something. I'm tempted to take the Canes.

444
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys. The home form of Clemson has

445
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: not been that solid. I mean, their biggest wins are

446
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, at Alabama early in the season. They

447
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: want to at Pitt Like. They've been much more competitive

448
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: on the road. It's a really old team, a lot

449
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: of D one experience on the Tigers, maybe just not

450
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: built to smash inferior competition in Miami's not really even

451
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: that in fear, that's a pretty good Miami team, like

452
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: these guys said, So I'm going to lean their way

453
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: to again the road dog one game of Wednesday, guys

454
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: that we don't really have to dive into two in depth.

455
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention it though, because I think it's

456
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: a really good spot in the power game circle. Maryland

457
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: minus three at home against Iowa. I think Maryland's can

458
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: be a very good bet in this one. Iowa's coming

459
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: off a wild comeback against Minnesota on Super Bowl Sunday.

460
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: They were abound twenty in the second half, came all

461
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: the way back, whereas Maryland has actually been trending upwards.

462
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: They're not quite in the bubble conversation yet, but they're

463
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: trying to make that push down the stretch. I think

464
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: this is a good Big ten home team spot. Matt Kai,

465
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: any agreement for me to you? Matthias do nodding.

466
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Big ten home teams. Jim, by the way,

467
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned last show they had leveled off,

468
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: I think in the January segment, but they I believe

469
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: we're five and two last week, so I Big ten

470
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: homes just awesome. You know, went and doubt, don't go

471
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 2: against it. And I tend to trust Maryland more than

472
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: Iowa at this stage. Yeah, Shane, Maryland's so bad. They

473
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: did beat Iowa at Iowa. Maryland's defense man number one

474
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: in the conference. Right now in Big ten play, they're

475
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: only five and eight, but they're the best defensive team

476
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: fifth in the country, so at least they have that

477
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: in kind of stapled down. And of course it's the

478
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: exact opposite for Iowa, who's always got an offense that

479
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: on d I do think the spot is really good

480
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: here for Iowa. They needed a Dawson Garcia injury in

481
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: a while comeback to beat Minnesota, So yeah, give me

482
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: the Terps on Wednesday.

483
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't expect them to completely outscore Iowa. But

484
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: Maryland is shooting twenty nine point one percent from three

485
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: in league play. They're also shooting that on the season.

486
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: That's just who they are there or shooting team. Unfortunately.

487
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: I still like them there though, think it's a good spot. Thursday,

488
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: Colorado is headed to UCLA. Whoa, Fellas the Bruins mentioned

489
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: in Power Game of the Week, here they come.

490
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: Man.

491
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin has him rolling. They have won seven of

492
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: their last eight. Dylan Andrews has emerged into a real

493
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: legit All Conference caliber guy at point guard to go

494
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: with Sebastian Mack. The international freshmen are coming along a

495
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: little bit more, and Stefanovitch has been really, really good too,

496
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: And Colorado has been awful on the road one in

497
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: six against the spread. They had that forty seven point

498
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: blowout at Arizona. That kind of skews the cover margin,

499
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: but it's not been good. When the Buffs hit the road,

500
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: they're laying two per Kenpom at UCLA again. I bet

501
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: the line is tilted more towards UCLA in their current form.

502
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this game?

503
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Too short? I think the spread's too short. I like

504
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: Colorado here, a little little bounce back in the Arizona loss.

505
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Prior to that you mentioned, Yeah, two straight tough losses

506
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: on the road. Washington, Utah, really good teams they're playing.

507
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: The difference is schedule. The last couple of games here,

508
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: Calade has played Arizona, Utah, and Washington State in those

509
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: four games. You know UCLA has played Oregon State, cal Oregon,

510
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: Stanford before that. USC there's a bit of disparity right

511
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: now in conference that has UCLA above Colorado. Schedule. I mean,

512
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: I think Colorado bounces back. UCLA competitive, but I don't

513
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: think the spread is big enough here. I like the Bruins.

514
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: I hate that I do, but I do it. Just

515
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: like Colorado always been too banged up and bruised all

516
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: year and boils seems to I don't know, like it

517
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: should be a really awesome team and they just haven't

518
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: seen enough consistency with it for me to trust in

519
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: UCLA's has been really good. Like I think the recent

520
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: efforts are actually better than meets the surface. Keep in

521
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: mind Colorado dropped ten spots in kim Pum after the

522
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: Arizona loss. This would not be a two point spread

523
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: six station. That's a good point the course.

524
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: Four Yeah, that was a very very valid point for

525
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: mister McEwan. Also to your point, Cale, UCLA has played

526
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: the eleventh toughest schedule in the Pac twelve so far.

527
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: According to Bart Torbeck, they have the fourth toughest down

528
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: the stretch remaining. So maybe the UCLA renaissance isn't quite

529
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: gonna be what we think it is at this point.

530
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a take on that one. I'm not

531
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna bet that game. I have a hard time figuring

532
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: out both all right to the mid major game of

533
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: the week, and these are not mega highlight games like

534
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: super big showdowns, but a wand at least put a

535
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: spile out on a couple teams that are surprisingly in

536
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: first place in their conferences. One of those is Green Bay.

537
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: On Wednesday night, they are hosting Northern Kentucky. Lay in

538
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: four points per Ken Palm. A big one for Sundance.

539
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: Wicks and the boys here, Matthias Phoenix have risen from

540
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the Ashes, etc. You got to make that joke when

541
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about them. Last year they were terrible. Now

542
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: they were number one in the conference with some brilliant coaching,

543
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: some big time late plays, a huge, almost buzzer beating

544
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: win at Youngstown, stayed over the weekend. Now they got

545
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: this matchup zone coming to town with Northern Kentucky. Is

546
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: this a trap for Green Bay? Yeah?

547
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: Jim, Is there moment to dance in the sun for

548
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: mister Wicks and Cayle just continue? That's terrible pun that

549
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: you started there. A good thing with this matchup angle

550
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: is they already saw the zone once this season, right.

551
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: They were I think befuddled by it in Cincinnati. But

552
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: now that I get it again, I think we've seen

553
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: Sundance and how we're going to have a coach he

554
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: is schematically like. I think they'll make adjustments. They can

555
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: certainly shoot it, right. You gotta be able to at

556
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: least make shots against the Zono. It's a different type

557
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: of zone, but making shots will be huge here. Obviously

558
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: no Reynolds coming back from his his illness will be huge.

559
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Or maybe it doesn't matter. Could they be Youngstown State

560
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: without them? So I don't know. Okay, I don't understand

561
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: This team makes my sends only one without no Reynolds.

562
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: But Sundance Twix clearly has some magic potions that he

563
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: sprinkles on a game. The basis I don't understand either. Somehow,

564
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: they're twelve and three in the horizon, which is crazy

565
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: to me, number one and three point percentage and number

566
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: one and three point percenters defense certainly helps. So they

567
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: are the ultimate variance team right now. It's all going

568
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: their way. Northern Kentucky beat them by twenty two in

569
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: the first game. I tend to think MKAU is still

570
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 2: a better team, so four points is too much in

571
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: my opinion, I would lean towards NKU.

572
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: This, like I said, feels a little trappy to me.

573
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: Last week, Green Bay won in overtime on the road

574
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: at Robert Morris, then won on a buzzer beater at

575
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: Youngstown State. Now you've got this team playing a kind

576
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: of funky style in NKU that has already destroyed him once.

577
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Worst case, I would think this is like one possession

578
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: game late, like a lot of Green Bay's games have been.

579
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, give me four With Northern Kentucky, I'll happily

580
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: take that. They seem to have stabilized without Sam Vincent,

581
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: their key guard who got hurt about a month and

582
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: a half ago. Next up Sanford hosting Western Carolina again

583
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: a big no to Bucky McMillan and Bucky Ball down

584
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: there at Samford hired straight out of high school Matthew

585
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: What a bold move by the administration, and he has

586
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: rewarded them second straight season of twenty wins for Samford,

587
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: they are healthier with Jermaine Marshall back. Does WCu have

588
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: a chance to hang at Sanford or is this kind

589
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: of the Bulldogs continue to roll.

590
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: I think they have a chance to hang. But Sanford

591
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: at home is always terrifying. It feels like some of

592
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: these sprises that they've been laying really good Soacon teams

593
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: seem high and then it's then it's not high enough,

594
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: because that's just they're a different beast down there, with

595
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: that home crowd and the depth and the way they

596
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: play It's just a kind of a mini Auburn situation right,

597
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 2: just the way they play the juice and the critch.

598
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: Just a tough place going to and handle that pressure.

599
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like Justin Gray was really encouraged by their dominating

600
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: when over Mercer. So maybe the Catamounts can get back

601
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: some of that ground they lost with some tough losses

602
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: early in the SoCon race. But I kind of think

603
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: Samford is just to do not bet against this team

604
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: at home situation playing simple. Yeah, scary team to bet

605
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: to go against, but a points is a lot. I

606
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: think Western Carolina is a very good team and in

607
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: the top one thirty in kimpund. That supports that plenty

608
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: of talent, really good ball handling team extremely key against Samford,

609
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: who leads the conference turn over rate obviously tries to

610
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: wreak havoc with their press. I think Western Carolina and

611
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: their experienced guards can more or less handle that. The

612
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: first game was close, they it was a four point game.

613
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: Sanford ended up beating Western Carolina at their place. I

614
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: lean towards the Catamounts to here, Jim, not confident, but

615
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: leaning their way at eight.

616
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: Points, yeah, I lean their way to Sanford Matt. I

617
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of agree perception wise with that. Like, man, this

618
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: team's untouchable at home. They pressed, they've got the crowd

619
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: behind them. They're seven and five against the spread at home,

620
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: so not invincible. They just beat Waffered by two. I'll

621
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: be bold with Kai and I'll back that plus eight

622
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Western Carolina on the road there Thursday night, real quick

623
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: in mid Major game of the week. Morehead State follows.

624
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: This is actually number one versus number two in the

625
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: standings right now. Morehead State headed to Little Rock and

626
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Morehead States kind of separated themselves. They have the number

627
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: one offense and defense in league play. It's really difficult

628
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: to do. And Jordan Lathan has missed the last two

629
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: games for them. He's been key, like first team All

630
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Conference caliber in the OBC. But Matt, they've still got

631
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: Riley Minnix, They've still got Drew Thelwell, they still got

632
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: Preston Spradland on the sidelines. Are they going to go

633
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: to Little Rock Lane five a team of some talented

634
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: down transfers and continue to take care of business? Now?

635
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Little Rock here, Tiny Rock

636
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: as we used to call them when they lost his

637
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: guy of money on an annual basis, But I think

638
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: we saw more Head going on the road to Siue

639
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: earlier this year, a team with pretty good talent too,

640
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: and they looked more mortal. I think you see a

641
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: similar narrative in this game, where a little Rock actually

642
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: has the talent to neutralized more Head in the fact

643
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: that they are at home. I think this game is

644
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: nip and tuck, and I kind of think Tiny Rock pulls.

645
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Off my dog of the week.

646
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go with that. Matthew plus five plus four probably, Yeah,

647
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm going Morehead here. Many This is one of those

648
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: teams that just dominates their conference year in year out,

649
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: and they're doing it again this year. Nine to three

650
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: against the spread in conference play, one hundred and twenty

651
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: spots higher than the next best team in kim Pum

652
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty in their own conference. I mean,

653
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: they're dominating. And Jim mentioned number one offense and defense,

654
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: it's not even close either end. They're significantly better on both. Then,

655
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: so I just think this team's too good relative to

656
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: their competition, so I lean towards Morehead.

657
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: In a note for the listener, they are doing this

658
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: without Mark Freeman, who is the reigning OBC Player of

659
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: the Year and got hurt in the preseason like best player. See, okay,

660
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: we'll continue to be the best team by a had

661
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: a cosmic margin Overse's got to figure it out now.

662
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned the transfers on Little Rock. They've got KK

663
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: Robinson who was originally a top one hundred recruit in

664
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: the SEC. Jami or Chaplin is at South Florida. Michel

665
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell is twin of the Arkansas Big Man. Has been

666
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: at Power Conference schools. So the talent is here. It

667
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: could play up, but I'm stubbornly go with morehead too.

668
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 1: I just think they're head and shoulders better, especially with

669
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: the coaching. Sprattlan has just proven to be a star

670
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: of stars. All right, we move on trash man pick

671
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: of the week.

672
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: The trash man pick of the week. I'm the trash man.

673
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it,

674
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: totally unreliable, undependable it that's it. You've been told off.

675
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: How do you like that? Good?

676
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: This one was easy. Fellas I saw this game, knew

677
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: exactly that it had to be mentioned here. I up

678
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: Ui is headed to Detroit to Dregs of the Horizon.

679
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: Fellas Ken Pam makes this Detroit minus five. They're zero

680
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: to twenty five overall. Straight up, they have not won

681
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: a game and they're going to be laying more than

682
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: a possession in this game. Kay, is this as simple

683
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: as that's insane? We shouldn't allow that. Let's take the Jaguars.

684
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: Yes, yes it is, Jim and I watched this first

685
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: game too. Let me tell you what. IEPUI was the

686
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: much better team. And I know they did have Detroit

687
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: didn't have Jaden Stone their best player in that game,

688
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: but they are horrible. You should not be laying five

689
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 2: points against Missippi Valley State if you're Detroit. So I

690
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: like IEPU either, Yeah, I did too. I hate that.

691
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: I like the Jags, but it feels like they at

692
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: least are a partially cohesive team, where Detroit's just fighting guys,

693
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: you know, on the way to the gym, you know,

694
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: if they have time, they want to come play pick up,

695
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, come come roll with us. That that just

696
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: seems like a team I'm not trying to back right now,

697
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: even this late in the year.

698
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Detroit's been a little bit fie. So you mentioned

699
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: they hung around with Wright State despite getting down big early.

700
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: But I think that more had to do with Right

701
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: State going to bed than it did with Detroit being

702
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: some kind of massive competitor. Yeah, just can't lay it

703
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: with them. It's a ridiculous idea that, hey, they haven't

704
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: come out on top on the scoreboard, but you have

705
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: to win by more than five points now. So yeah,

706
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with IUPU as well.

707
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: There.

708
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: I think these guys have figured it out. All right.

709
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to our spotlight section, Fellas, and as I

710
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, this is the best and worst active coaches

711
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: in February her bet Labs. Thank you to bet Labs

712
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: for their wonderful data. I just kind of perceived this

713
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: as coaches that are either good or not as good

714
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: at keeping teams focused through the doldrums of conference schedule.

715
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: And you've got some tough travel probably at this point

716
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: in the year. If you're doing really well, you could

717
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: have some sleepy efforts as a favorite, etc. So I

718
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: think there's something to this if you're a really good

719
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: coach this time of the year. And Fellaws, we'll start

720
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: with the best ones from U. See Davis jim Less

721
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: is eighty three and fifty against the spread in February

722
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: not bad at all. John Dunn of Merist Matthew, I

723
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: know a favorite of ours is seven and fifty one,

724
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: and then I'll mention Bill self right here as well,

725
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: eighty three and sixty one. I know they just struggled

726
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: on the road at Texas Tech, but I do think

727
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: that kind of thing can also help here, where if

728
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: the team was injured or playing below its level earlier,

729
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: suddenly there's a little bit of value in February. I

730
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: think KU might apply there.

731
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of old school type coaches

732
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: here that you're probably maybe seeing a lot more rematch

733
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: situations in February and conference play. Some coaches, I feel like,

734
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: are really into looking at what happened in the first game,

735
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: where maybe others are just more like focused on fixing

736
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: their current team at any point in time, you know,

737
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: internal versus game to game adjustments. I think the ones

738
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: you've listed here in February seem to be more adaptable,

739
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: more fungible. Probably makes sense why they're better at this

740
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: point in the year. So I am sold on this narrative,

741
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: Jym officially, So I guess the solution now is to

742
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: auto bet every UC Davis Marris Kansas Texas A and

743
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: M Yale and Nevatican going.

744
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Forward, Yeah to expand Yeah, as Matt said, Buz Williams

745
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: from Texas A and M sixty three and forty five,

746
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: James Jones of Yale seventy eight and fifty nine, and

747
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: Steve Alford sixty nine and fifty two against the spread.

748
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: So there's there's six of them that seem like good

749
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: bets here. Kay a couple notables, much smaller sample here,

750
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: but Kyle Neptune is sixteen and five against the spread.

751
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I think some of this goes back to Fordham, some

752
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: of it goes back to getting Cam Whitmore healthy last

753
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: year and Justin Moore coming back from the Achilles. So,

754
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: like I said, like an undervalued kind of team. Kenny

755
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: Payne at Louisville is nine and three against the spread

756
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: in February, guys, so maybe they just are so bad

757
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: in non con there's a little value on them in February.

758
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: And then Rashaan Berno at Northern Illinois fifteen and six high.

759
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be auto betting Louisville games now with

760
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: seeing Kenny Bayne's track record? No?

761
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: I think the small sample, guys, I really think you

762
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: can explain why. In Kenny Payne's case, it's what you

763
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: basically said, they were so bad, so atrocious that they

764
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: got down like three hundred and kem palm last year

765
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: to where the there was just no value anymore fading them.

766
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: And I'm sure the market was even going above and

767
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 2: beyond on their spreads and pushing it further than it

768
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: should have been. So I kind of chalked that more

769
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: up to that, you know, the other good guys in

770
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: this list, It makes total sense. And that's right, the

771
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: guys that can adjust the master game planners obviously very

772
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: experienced coaches here, and maybe guys that take more of

773
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: a developmental path to building their teams versus I suppose

774
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: the instant gratification transfer style or the fresh and rebuilt

775
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: sort of thing.

776
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Yale's interesting. There was like, obviously Princeton

777
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: was the class of the IVY to start the season,

778
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh man, Yale brought almost everybody back,

779
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: poor starters. Why aren't they the one that looks like

780
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: a juggernaut. And now here we are in February and

781
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: they're alone atop the league, one of two undefeateds in

782
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: conference in the entire country. So yeah, James Jones knows

783
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Living it to the other side. There

784
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: are a couple of surprising names on this list for me.

785
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: The worst active ats coaches in February Leonard Hamilton Florida

786
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: State fifty nine and seventy seven. Mick cronin Wow Ucla,

787
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: even though they're trending up, he's fifty five and seventy

788
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: three in February, Bill Cohen at Northeastern fifty six and

789
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: seventy four, Jamie Dixon down at TCU fifty six and

790
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: seventy three, and Marvin Menzies at UMKC twenty five and

791
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: forty two. Kind of these names really jump out to

792
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: you as Okay, they belong here, or I understand why

793
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts in that group?

794
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: No, All five of these kind of surprised me. I

795
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 2: think I would bet that Hamilton and Cohen are pretty

796
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 2: skewed the last couple of seasons. Their teams have been really,

797
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: really bad. In the past, they've been a lot better, obviously.

798
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: Menzi's same thing maybe with you in KC. They had

799
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: so many injuries last year, but the sample size is

800
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: kind of big enough to where this would encroach on

801
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: his well, I guess UNLV his UNLV teams weren't great either,

802
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 2: so that that kind of covers him. If you extended

803
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: this too is New Mexico State days and just focused

804
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: on that, I'm sure they'd be pretty positive but surprising

805
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: names here, Yeah, definitely, Yeah, Jim, I feel like Cronin

806
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: and Dixon like super hard ass coaches. Maybe they wear

807
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: and grind their guys to a point where they just

808
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: don't really have the same juice maybe November to Seve

809
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: virgin that's a big, big reach of a narrow to

810
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 2: explain those two, But just those guys popped out as like, yeah,

811
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: I can maybe see just the way they play kind

812
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 2: of losing a little bit a steam late in the season. Yeah.

813
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: And again, if they were good early, it sets up

814
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: for less value in February. And I think Dixon consistently

815
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: is overachieved early in the season relative to expectations, And

816
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: again that starts to lead toward inflated prices in February,

817
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: and you can find value on the other side. Some

818
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: small sample guys to mention here. Chris Girlson at San

819
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: Francisco is two to nine. His old mentor Todd Golden

820
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: at Florida is twelve and twenty against the spread, and

821
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: then Danny Sprinkle, a guy we love who's been at

822
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: Montana State and now Utah State, is ten and twenty

823
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: three against the spread in February. Anything we can make

824
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: of this with the data boys out there.

825
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: I do think there is mostly due to the fact

826
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: that they have been probably undervalued severely preseason, and I

827
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: think they climb quickly early on in the year, and

828
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: I think it just sets up for you can only

829
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: go one way but down in February. You know, also

830
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: just the fact that they just teams may adjust when

831
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: they see them in the rematch, right, you know, they

832
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: probably run more complex sets, and you know, we talked

833
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: about the same rematch angle from above. There's probably some

834
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: counter adjustments from the coaches made against them in league play. Again,

835
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: that was small sample theater here. I'm not going to react.

836
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: Those are great, great, great, great coaches the clipboard.

837
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: Do you agree? Great? Don't overreact, Okay, don't overreact.

838
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are good coaches. Yeah. Maybe girl who sends

839
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: the opposite case of the guys up top, where it's

840
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: like San Francisco pretty inflated by now, in the ratings

841
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: and maybe we disagree with how high they are in

842
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: kim Palm for instance, and maybe just falls back down

843
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: to earth, But I would not have reacted to this.

844
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of these teams in the last

845
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: two years for these coaches, like we're favorites in league

846
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: play a lot and maybe just like aren't able to

847
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: blow out league foes the same way in February as

848
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: they're doing the non conference foes in November December. I

849
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: think that's definitely true of Danny Sprinkle, like big time

850
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: favorite and big sky at Montana State and just haven't

851
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: been able to see that ats success continue into February.

852
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, guys, one final fun fact for you.

853
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: Feral coach, I said the Dons are they were up

854
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: to fifty in Kempalm and now they're down to eightieth.

855
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 2: In the last three weeks, I think they've kind of

856
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: looked like wherever you think they are in your overall powerranking,

857
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: it's or they are kind of falling back to where

858
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: we probably think they are.

859
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do believe, either on this show or our

860
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: regular show, Kayle has been adamant to that, like that

861
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: team is not fiftieth. That's overvalued. So pat on the

862
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: back for mister McEwan. Well done. Final fun fact, guys,

863
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: I saw as I was going through some of this,

864
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: Dan Dakich is twenty two thirty and one against a

865
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: spread as a coach in all games. It just warmed

866
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: my heart to see such a villain be a bad

867
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: ATS coach, Matthew, he was performing below expectations even as

868
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: a coach, certainly doing so as a pundit. So this

869
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: warmed my heart.

870
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he was a pundit, I didn't like being

871
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: reminded that he you know, he was esteemed pleasure of

872
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: coaching my alma matter. I don't like that association. I

873
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: feel we should expunge his name from the record books.

874
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: But I guess there's fifty three games there to revisit,

875
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 2: and they're all of the bad variety, losing variety from

876
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: a betting perspective.

877
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's good to know that when he's chirping

878
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: and spouting off about stuff and be like, yeah, well

879
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: you were not good against expectations. You're a bad ATS coach, Dan?

880
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah, Dan just had to close on that

881
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: fun note there, mister dockch. That is it live dog

882
