18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: major level coming up on Monday and Tuesday.

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about some spots, some of.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,120

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: for you at the very end. So let's get into

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: it without any further Ado here Boys starting on Big

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: Monday in the Big twelve, Kai, you and I watched

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: Arizona and Houston play on Saturday. Houston came out with

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: a win at Arizona. Now the Wildcats go on the

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: road to Baylor, who survived an overtime game against West

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: Virginia over the weekend. Kind of an interesting, Oh, do

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: we want to sell the shorthanded team off overtime? You

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: get Arizona coming off the loss looking at a price

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: of Baylor minus one in the market.

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: Mister McEwan, and he takes for you on this.

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: One, Jim. I like Arizona. They impressed me against Houston

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: despite the loss. They were leading most of that game.

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: They only allowed six offensive rebounds to the best offensive

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: rebounding team in the country, or at least one of them.

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: That was impressive to me and Baylor. I think without

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Big josh O in the middle, it's a problem. You

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: saw the awards against West Virginia already after one game.

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: I you're going to see especially against Arizona, a very

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: big team. I think the lack of depth is really

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: going to hurt the Bears. And of course s Matthew,

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: I love Arizona with two straight losses coming off those

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and getting back a little bounce back here. Baylor's not

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a meet at home. They lost a TC at home

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: ready this year, So give me the Cats.

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we've had a good beat on the

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: Cats right, Like, played a bunch of good games in

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: a row.

50
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: I think we thought they were due for.

51
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: A I don't know, a letdown, but just a loss. Frankly,

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: and losing at K State is nothing to you know.

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: That team's been playing like a top ten team. I

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 4: know they got smacked by BYU, but before that, not

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: a ton they had done wrong. And then Houston like

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: to be up in that game most of the way.

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: I think it's a great spot to back a team

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: off two losses that played well in those two losses,

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 4: playing simple. So and yeah, I think the josh O

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: stuff's can't really start to take its tolls slowly and

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: surely as the year goes out with Taylor.

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and lock in and

63
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: the Arizona with you guys.

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: As these teams are currently constructed, I would have Arizona

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: favored in this game. Just the lack of a John Winna,

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: the total lack of post depth.

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Interior depth for Baylor.

68
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: I mean, if Omeer gets in any sort of foul trouble,

69
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: they've got no second answer. They actually got a pretty

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: good Langston Love game Matthew against against West Virginia. Shocking

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: to see him healthy and out there playing forty two minutes.

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: Happy for the young man. But yeah, Arizona's just kind

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: of a Arizona's a different beast than West Virginia. They're

74
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: heavily reliant on one player. Arizona much more balanced. You'd

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: expect this one to open up a little bit more

76
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: in terms of pace. Houston really turned that into a

77
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: slog against Arizona. Baylor's not an up and down team,

78
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: but I do think Arizona can play a little bit

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: more in transition and that that will help them even

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: with the short turnaround. Yeah, so joining you guys, Arizona

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: plus one. I'm gonna lock that one in right off

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: the top here.

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm curious when.

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: This coast live what it will be. I hope it's

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: not Arizona.

86
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: It's one. I'm looking at it right.

87
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying when it goes live.

88
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: To the mass as the listeners Monday morning, God, we'll

89
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: see what the overnight, the overnight.

90
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: What would you take it better? I would take Arizona

91
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: to minus one minus two.

92
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice two, Yeah, I agree, no more than two.

93
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: There's some big one and a half out there right now.

94
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to see what direction

95
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: that moves in. But folks, that's what we would do.

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: And again I make Arizona favorite.

97
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Tuesday typically a loaded slate for the for the week,

98
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: but this one isn't quite as stuffed as last week.

99
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: Last week was nearly a Saturday slate. This week we

100
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: got four big ones.

101
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Are gonna discuss here on Tuesday, and the sec will

102
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: start there, Matthew, because that's where college basketball starts and ends.

103
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: This year, Texas A and M headed to Mississippi State.

104
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Both teams got big wins over the weekend. Mississippi State

105
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: especially kind of badly needed a strong performance and they

106
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: got it done.

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: In the egg Bowl.

108
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: The e Bob, the egg Bowl of basketball took care

109
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: of all miss Maybe you've got a Texas A and

110
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: M look ahead to Tennessee. Here the road game sanniched

111
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: in between two big home ones. Curious what you take

112
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: is here on this Matthew, Mississippi State minus won the

113
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: per Ken pounds, so pretty close to a coin flip game.

114
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys kind of sold me on Missippi State,

115
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: maybe in terms of I've maybe grasping for straws and

116
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: still trusting this team all the way. I know they

117
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: did just went at Ole Miss, but this does feel

118
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: like kind of the natural letdown spot as a continuation

119
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: of their sort of up and down roller coaster sec

120
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: scheduled to date, even though it is at home, they've

121
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: had some stinkers at all. Right, I got smacked by

122
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: your tires. Bama came in there and beat them in

123
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: a high home spot. I hope they're kind of lucky

124
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: to beat Ole Miss in the first meeting at home. Really,

125
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: the only great home performance was against South Carolina come

126
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: right out of Christmas, and I think that team was

127
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: sort of a zombie team at that point.

128
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: I like A and M.

129
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean, this team's awesome. We've said it all year.

130
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: I think their offense is actually looked a little bit

131
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: more fluid lately. Solomon Washington back in the mix. I

132
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 4: think he was only out for a game or two,

133
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: but I think he really helps. They've really leaned into

134
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: that bully ball lineup. It's weird to see that, Chris.

135
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: It's weird to say that Christian's team has a disadvantage inside.

136
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: But I think this is actually that's true. Thin it's

137
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: saying M's front line that's just like a bunch of men,

138
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: grown ass men.

139
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, strong, strong lean for me for A and M.

140
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: If you can't shoot against A and M, it's bad

141
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: news Mississippi State. Though they take a lot of threes,

142
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: though Josh Hoverer is awesome, they have not been hitting

143
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: this year and they don't have a ton of shooters.

144
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: I think that's really bad news against A and M.

145
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: I think A and M's guards, who can pressure the

146
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: living with Jesus out of the opposing team, is going

147
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: to be a problem for Mississippi State. And I don't

148
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: think mississippis TA can really keep A and M off

149
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: the glass, despite their reputation as being physical and kind

150
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: of grimy under Christians. I think A and just does

151
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: that way way way better. So A and M is

152
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: a heavy lean for me. On Tuesday, I'll be.

153
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: The voice of dissent here, guys.

154
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: I leaned towards the Bulldogs at home and both of

155
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: them coming off with good performance, as we said, so

156
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any real bilo cell high type of.

157
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: Spots set up.

158
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: I like the Misisippi State started Google last game his

159
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: first start of the year or first starting a while,

160
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 3: excuse me, and I just maybe that gets him more engaged.

161
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: He's a really high upside type player. Getting him a

162
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: little bit more focused I could see being an advantage.

163
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: I do worry that text A and m is like

164
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: maybe the most translatable style from home to.

165
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Road, like just trying to win the extras, win.

166
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Hustle, physicality type plays. I think that helps them the

167
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: shot volume type stuff. But I still lean towards Mississippi

168
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: State there despite Matt you mentioned it.

169
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: They've had some stinkers in big home spots.

170
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: They get Florida coming to town off beating Auburn and

171
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: they just get pulverized by shorthanded Florida who loses a

172
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: second starter early in that game.

173
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: So it's tough to trust the Bulldogs.

174
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna bet it or officially endorse it,

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: but that would be where i'd.

176
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Lean in that game.

177
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: Okay, to the big twelve Kansas, Oh boy did not

178
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: look good at Utah on Saturday night kind of got Utah,

179
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: but it basically controlled that game, despite Kansas run late

180
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: to get close.

181
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 2: Now they're minus one per Ken Palm at BYU Kai.

182
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: The Cougars are starting to play better, looking really like

183
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: an NCAA tournament team. Back to back good wins over

184
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 3: k State at West Virginia last weekend.

185
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: What are you looking at here with the Jayhawks? Do

186
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: they bounce back? Are they going to get swept at altitude?

187
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: Man, I have a hard time seeing k you get swept.

188
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: They have lost back to back games this year, already

189
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: did lose in the non con Creighton Missooi, but you

190
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: don't see that happen very often under Bill's self, and

191
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: certainly this year is a little bit unprecedented. With how

192
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: they're performing in the Big Twelve so far, losing Utah

193
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: is just crazy to me, just just giving this program's history.

194
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: I lean towards them bouncing back then winning against BYU.

195
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: Bou's defense not great in conference play, I think Kansas

196
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: can take advantage of them, especially in the interior. And

197
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: I do like how Kansas really takes away the three

198
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: kind of in negates what Bou wants to do offensively.

199
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Really good shooting team, but I think Kansas can kind

200
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: of bottle them up. So I leank towards Kansas here.

201
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I think I do as well.

202
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: I may have Kansas road performance this year have not

203
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: been just looking at those the A team that's like

204
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: oh A profiles as like an older team that you

205
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: think would be sort of bulletproof. I guess on the road,

206
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: I was also trying to kind of map the trend

207
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: of the new the new two legged altitude trip, which

208
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 4: is BYU in Utah here a lot easier than the

209
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 4: old PAC twelve Utah to Colorado or vice versa. I

210
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: do think k you, despite all the healthiest captives that

211
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: we've kind of shared here. I mentioned last weekend, I

212
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: thought that the Utah matchup was just a good one

213
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: for Utah, like I don't think Kansas was built to

214
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 4: exploit their lack of quickness, and so maybe here in

215
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: this court of second bounce back spot, Kansas has a

216
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: slightly better matchup advantage to against Yu. I don't know

217
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: if I fully buy into that, but I just feel

218
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: like this is a good spot for them, more of

219
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 4: a trusting my plumes here, Jim than anything'sting.

220
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: I guess I always trust him.

221
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: Matthew, Yeah, we mentioned that with this mountain trip, that

222
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: it's like no travel the Salt Lake City to Provo

223
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: or Provo to Salt Lake City is not bad at all,

224
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: So don't worry too much about that second game in altitude.

225
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a part of it. But Kay, you mentioned

226
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: Kansas has lost two games in a row. However, their

227
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: last nine games win loss, win loss, win loss, win loss.

228
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: The patterns would tell me that they're gonna come up

229
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: with a win here. I just I kind of I

230
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: feel that way too.

231
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: I think they can battle BYU and the paint take

232
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: away some of the shooting a little bit, and KU's

233
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 3: lack of perimeter dynamism scoring. I don't think I'll be

234
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: as exposed against BYU here. I think Dickinson has a

235
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: big game against the physical but somewhat undersized big guys

236
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: Kita and triore for BYU.

237
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: So I think Dickinson it actually sets up well for him.

238
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: I will lean towards Kansas as well, but not a

239
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: team I want to trust on the road.

240
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: As Matt mentioned, they've got.

241
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: Some real stinkers in recent play on the road, so

242
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: I go to sit that one out now. Two in

243
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: the Big Ten that are really intriguing to me based

244
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: on the results we saw this weekend basically teams flipping

245
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: opponents Wisconsin one at Purdue, Michigan State one at Illinois.

246
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: Now they trade opponents. Perdue going to Michigan State on

247
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: a two game losing streak, mister McEwan, seems crazy to

248
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: say about this team that seemed like it had a

249
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: shot at a one seed before this losing streak. Michigan

250
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: State is one to nine against Perdue in their last

251
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: ten games straight up, but they're five and one against

252
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: the spread, so you know, they were dogs basically every

253
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: time against the Zach Edy teams and they were able

254
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: to compete. Now it's a much more evenly matched game

255
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: projected spread of three at ken Pum.

256
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: What do you think in here, Kyle, with the Boilers

257
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: headed to the Spartans.

258
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: I think the thing that sticks out is ball handling.

259
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: The way Purdue has been able to turn teams over

260
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: this season, especially in conference play, a little bit of

261
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: a problem for Michigan State this season. Not exactly secure

262
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: with the ball, very unlike a typical ISO team. However,

263
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: I do think Michigan State can defend Perdue a team

264
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: that plays for the post. Michigan State has a very

265
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: deep front court, can throw a lot of bodies at

266
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: Trey coff and Rin. I think they can kind of

267
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: handle that Purdue offense. And on the other end, I

268
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: don't think Purdue is a fantastic defensive team. Outside of

269
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: forcing turnovers. I think Michigan State will be able to

270
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: get rebounds into something. They'll be able to get to

271
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: the line. We know they can't shoot, but I think

272
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: the interior is pretty opening.

273
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: It's Purdue.

274
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't think coffin Rin as much of rem protector.

275
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Don't only think Purdue has that on their on their team.

276
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: So lean towards Michigan State in this game. I have

277
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: a big sparty leaning here.

278
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: And maybe I'm just this is the fallacy of letting

279
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 4: your recent eye test persuade you and sort of frustration

280
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 4: if you bet on a team that just laid an

281
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 4: egg and produce defense which is pitiful. Like at home

282
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: we talked about how it's like, Wow, produce forcing turnovers,

283
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: but it there's no ball pressure. They don't like disrupt you,

284
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: they don't make you feel uncomfortable. And I think on

285
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 4: the road, I just like I said, I think the

286
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: produced ceiling is unlocked by guys like C. J. Cox

287
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: and those younger guys who I think are just more

288
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: prone to playing better at MAKI, I think on the

289
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: road against just an equally as angry or motivating Michigan

290
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: State team. I like Sparty. Here, we'll see what this number.

291
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: I think this comes down to price. Jim, like kempot

292
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 4: minus three. I think this is gonna be like minus

293
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: four and a half. Maybe is that too rich? Maybe

294
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm under selling Purdue's I guess numeric or analytic valet

295
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: or Yeah, I don't know.

296
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what I would.

297
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Ask close to I would say four is my guess.

298
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: That's my do either of you buy anything into the

299
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: emotional letdown to Tom Izzo just passed Bobby Knight.

300
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: This is the game after the Okay, all right? I

301
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: just wanted to just wanted to ask.

302
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe that was a bigger I kind of gloss

303
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: over that. Maybe that was a huge deal and I

304
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 4: just missed the pomp and circumstance.

305
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: There's a whole thing.

306
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: They got a whole video made of like every coach

307
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten, like Bill Ryan and like all

308
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: these old coaches Kasaan, congratulations like it was.

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: It was a big deal.

310
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: Kay.

311
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: I really liked the.

312
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: Point you made on our Saturday show about Wisconsin being

313
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: the super high volume, high efficiency three point team bad

314
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: for purduece defense and misikin State is lasting the big

315
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: ten and three point in ten trade and sixteenth and

316
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: three point percentage. You go from this high volume team

317
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: to a low volume camp shoot team. I kind of

318
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: lean to Purdue in the Bilo's cell high aspect of it.

319
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 3: Michigan State's probably gonna play some drop coverage with their

320
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: big guys, and that's where Braden Smith can really eat

321
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: in that rain jerio or if you send two to him,

322
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: he finds open, open shooters, open cutters. But I do

323
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: worry about Kaufman renning the post. I mean they Michigan

324
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: State can rotate like four different guys at him, and

325
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: that's a real tough matchup. So Eleen Purdue nothing overly

326
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: strong there. I would say just the fact that Michigan

327
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: State can't shoot could show up a little bit in

328
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: this particular matchup. Illinois at Wisconsin is the other matchup

329
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: off of those two. This weekend, Man the Badgers looked

330
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: stunningly good Matthew against Purdue. They got a three seed

331
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: in the bracket reveal eleventh overall, and then they win

332
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: at the number seven team Perdue maybe flying up towards

333
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: the two seed John Tanjay and All American. Man, It's

334
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: been quite a season for the Badger's relative to expectations. Illinois,

335
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: on the other hand, starting to, you know, swoon their

336
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: their fans are panicking because they can't make a three.

337
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: And these are the top two teams and three point

338
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: volume in the conference.

339
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: Matt except one shoots thirty nine percent, the other shoots

340
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: twenty eight point eight percent.

341
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: That would be Illinois, the bad shooting team.

342
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: Does that mean you're gonna ride with the Badge back

343
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: at the cole centered minus five as the price can

344
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: Pound is telling us.

345
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: I like buzz Cut Badgieth long term. I think in

346
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: this spot, I like Illinoi though just I think they

347
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: make threes in this game.

348
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Frankly, but I think.

349
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 4: The thing with ILLINOI two is the way they're built

350
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: with all their perimeter speed, is that's what makes them

351
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: a really good offensive rebounding team. Is they can a

352
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: lot of those long rebounds are more gettable. I think

353
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 4: they kind of spread and spray Wisconsin a little bit

354
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: here on the road. So I'm trusting the spot and

355
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: I think the matchup actually does favor Illinois. We'll see, though,

356
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's this is a good chess

357
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: match with how much does garlike use the two bigs collectively?

358
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Does he you know, kind of go with the platoon?

359
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: But Man, Blackwell and and Tanjay are playing like, you know, god,

360
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: they were just so insyannc like multiple backdoor cuts to

361
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: each other late in the clock against pre we get buckets,

362
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: I mean, just one on one in traffic against contests

363
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: Like I kind of feel like this Wisconsin individual talent

364
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: star shot making thing with Blackwell and toll Jay is

365
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: getting under sold just given the person. But I still

366
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: I like Illinois.

367
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

368
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Again, price minus five feels about right to me. We'll

369
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: see them, maybe minus minus six. I don't know. It

370
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: was consin an awesome man top ten Now I think

371
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: kem Pump so tough to secon. They've been awesome. I

372
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: think Illinois's good matchup for them, though I think Illinois

373
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: covers this game. Maybe he went out right. I've been

374
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: impressed with Wisconsin, but compared to Purdue, Illinois got that

375
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: bigger perimeter. I think that really helps a lot against

376
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: han Jay and Blackwell can match up better with Wisconsin.

377
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: They beat him already this season, so they have the

378
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the blueprint. Great game in the first matchup, Illinois the

379
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: best team at taking away the three. They really saw

380
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: for it Underwood. It's a big proponent of taking it away.

381
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: That's huge as Wisconsin, like Jim said, number one three

382
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: point tenth rate, number one three point percentage. Illinois will

383
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: take that away. On the other end, I really think

384
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: they can space out Wisconsin's more plotting bigs Kraal Winter,

385
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: take a visage out to the perimeter, put them in

386
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: space and pick and rolls. I'm loving what I've seen

387
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: from Morris Johnson lately. He's not a perimeter guy, but

388
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: he is a hell of a role player role man

389
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: in pick and rolls, and he's just so strong. He's

390
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: stronger than both Wisconsin's forward So I think Illinois keeps

391
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: this one close, Jim and maybe pulls an outright doggie.

392
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the second one. I'm gonna lock in

393
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: Illinois plus five. I like the matchup, I like the

394
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: situation Wisconsin. I like them postseason Matt, like you said that,

395
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: having multiple guards that can go and make plays. Klesmet's

396
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: kind of an mfort too, Like he's got a little walker.

397
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah he does.

398
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like him, but he does. Yeah.

399
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: Fair Wisconsin also got like a giant game from a

400
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: walk on at Purdue. Jack Chanicki had like three threes

401
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: after making eight all season or something because Kamara gee

402
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: McGee got kicked out for a borderline elbow to the nuts.

403
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think Illinois the panic is a little overstated.

404
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: It's just not making shots, which is frustrating. But I

405
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: don't think it's a long term red red alarm worry.

406
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: About this team panic mode type thing.

407
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 3: So I think Illinois Bunce's back there, keeps it close,

408
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: like I said, at minimum, with a potential.

409
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: To pull off the upset. All right, guys, that is

410
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: it for the power Games of the Week.

411
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: We're going to go to the mid Major Games of

412
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: the Week again Monday Tuesday. Not huge for the mid majors,

413
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 3: but we do have the showdown in the Southland. Matthias

414
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: McNeice headed back to Southeastern Louisiana, the only loss that

415
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: the Cowboys took last year in league play.

416
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: And Southeastern is freaking cooking right now.

417
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: So they have rallied all the way up to second,

418
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: having won eleven of their last twelve after starting zero

419
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: to three in the league.

420
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: Does McNeese continue to.

421
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: Roll It's minus eight in the market relative to minus

422
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: seven at ken Pump, and he takes on this on

423
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: Matthew from a cider total.

424
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do kind of like McNeice here off the

425
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: ot win Sea law against Nichols, which is a weird

426
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 4: prep and of itself. So going from the weird Nichols

427
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: prep to just back to McNeese in a short turn round,

428
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: I would like a little more runway of prep for

429
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: David Keefer if I was going to back the home

430
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 4: dog here. I kind of like McNeese, though I feel

431
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: like I've been sort of anti mcnie is, like that

432
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: they're over valued in conference, They're not going to cover

433
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: these margins. But I do think in this spot I'm

434
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 4: inclined to lay it. I don't know anyone got any

435
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: tabs on what the home hype atmosphere is going to

436
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: look like at University Center, Kai, the esteemed University Center

437
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: down there and Hammond.

438
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I don't have any inside sources, they're mad.

439
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I've been low on Seela or

440
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Slough as the locals call them. It's pretty good all

441
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: season slu I think they say, not Slew. That's more

442
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: of a Saint Southeastern. I think that's what the local

443
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it call Southeastern s l Yeah, Yeah, I've been

444
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: low on them all year. I don't want to faye

445
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: mcnie at all in Southland play. It's not what I

446
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: want to do. But if you're going to hey High

447
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: home spot here, you know McNee is going to get

448
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: every single south Land opponent his best game every single night,

449
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: because everyone knows how good this team is. Seela one

450
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: of the very few teams that can match up on

451
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the boards with them, the best defensive rebounding team in

452
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: the conference. They got Big Brody Rowberry. How are you

453
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: going to stop big Brody Roberry. It guy's huge. You

454
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: ever seeing him. He's like six eleven, three hundred deft

455
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: touch around the rim.

456
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

457
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: If if one team besides Nichols, I guess who beat

458
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: McNeese is going to hang with McNee, it'll be Seal

459
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: at home. But again, Jim, I'm not in the business

460
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: of fading the Cowboys.

461
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: Roeberry is a bit of a dancing bear. Kuy. He's

462
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: done a nice little footwork around the bucket.

463
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: Kay, you should be fading McNeese because they're zer and

464
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: six against the spread in their last six games.

465
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: Are they really spread spreads have gotten a little inflated.

466
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, they're minus nineteen.

467
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 3: They win by sixteen minus fifteen and they win by twelve,

468
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: so that's been a little freshing. I'm looking at this

469
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: seeing eight higher than the market or analytical projections of seven.

470
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: I do lean towards the home dog there.

471
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: Not excited about it, not one I'm in a lock in,

472
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: but forced to bet that game it would be on

473
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: seal at home.

474
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: Maybe they get hyped.

475
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: Just like they did last year, potentially fight for an

476
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: outright win on Tuesday Night. The top of the A Sun.

477
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 3: I don't think we've talked much a Sun on this

478
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: pod so far this season. Got Lipscomb, who is eleven

479
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: and three, tied for first, the preseason favorite, expected to

480
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: be the best team analytically, they have been the best

481
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 3: team so far this year. They're on the road at

482
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: Eastern Kentucky. W Hamilton's kind of got that program every

483
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: year is just a reload type of thing. They have

484
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: been very consistent under his watch. They're ten and four

485
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: in the conference.

486
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: Kyle, go to you first.

487
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: Here in the A Sun as a big A Sun guy.

488
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Well.

489
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: Lipskin is by far the best team in this league,

490
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: and yet they're still in the race of not winning

491
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: the conference because EKU has been on fire lately. Northern

492
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Alabama is incredible at the top of the league. It's

493
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: a very tough lea to bet. I've said that many,

494
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: many many times EKU. They beat lipskib in the first

495
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: matchup they have. Arguably, I would say Ignosovich is the

496
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: best player for Lipscomb in the conference, but DeVante Blanton

497
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: is right there. He's been incredible this season per usual.

498
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: George Kimball, that's the key for ek He's missed the

499
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: last couple of games. If he's out again in this game,

500
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: he's incredibly important. A point guard transfer for them would

501
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: have to lean towards Lipskimb pretty hard. I know he

502
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: can use two and zero without him, but against Lipscomb,

503
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, that really really worries me. Otherwise, Jim,

504
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: if he'sn't the game I think ek you can hang

505
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: around once again with with Lipscomb.

506
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 2: We've done it before.

507
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Aw Hamilton, good coach.

508
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 4: I think Lipscomb continues to play to that oagus sevench

509
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: advantage up front and again I think kind of the

510
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: road flip PLoP revenge. I think they get this one

511
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: back on the on the road. So I like the

512
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 4: Bison singler Jimbo not a Noney profound takes this one,

513
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: but just a slightly in for me here.

514
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you swiped the spot angle from that road revenge

515
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: I think does matter If Kimball's out, I expect you

516
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: know it's minus four a ken poum. I could see

517
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: this being like minus six on the road, which would spook.

518
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: Me a little bit.

519
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: Five or less without Kimball, I would back again. I

520
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: don't think it will be there. This is on Tuesday,

521
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: recording this on Sunday. We don't know what the line

522
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: will be. That's just what I would speculate and what

523
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: I would want to see to bet it.

524
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: Otherwise that will end up leaving it alone.

525
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: But really good game. Fun League one of the most

526
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: efficient conferences in the entire country scoring scoring scoring, the tournament,

527
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: The a SOUN Tournament last year was one of the

528
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: best to watch, yes, so keep a close eye on

529
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: that one as we approach March here folks, all right,

530
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: now we journey onto the live dog section of the week.

531
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Last Mine, oh, last mine again.

532
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: Not been our cup of tea so far this year,

533
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: but the patron Saint of the Pod San Jose State, Matthew,

534
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: they did at least cover, looked like they were going

535
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: to beat San Diego State outright again, and the Aztecs

536
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: climbed all the way back and another way.

537
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: Thirty to two run in twenty seconds. It's just like

538
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 4: I think, Dutchy just like ran Or played a video

539
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 4: of the same halftime speech he gave him the first

540
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: meeting and just sorry, everyone's to down and we'll just

541
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: kind of do this movie over again. And sure enough

542
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: it was like tied after two seconds. So feel back

543
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 4: for twenty miles short handed too.

544
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Happy to get the cover there with the San

545
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: Jose State, but not the outright win.

546
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: Okay, So we look at Monday at Matthias and your

547
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: Duke Blue Devils all right at the John Paul Jones

548
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: arena uva your guy Ronnie Sanchiz ron Sanchez. The interim

549
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 3: coach at Virginia, it is this one where you're looking

550
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: to take the home dog in fifteen against the Blue

551
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: Devils Matthias.

552
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

553
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: I do think this feels like a weird I don't

554
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 4: like just a dead stupid spot for Duke here. I

555
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: hard of me thinks Duke wins by thirty, but just

556
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: something about JPJ with you know again me sort of.

557
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: I call it the fake momentum that around Santos has built.

558
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: Like they've won three of three in a row, four five,

559
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: I think, six of eight. And while those wins have

560
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 4: been against your Virginia Techs and Georgia Techs and Boston

561
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 4: colleges and Miami's of the world, they did win it

562
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: pit and I do think that confidence, whether it's justified,

563
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 4: is somewhat real and makes me feel like this Virginia

564
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: team is not like a zombie team like some of

565
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 4: these Power Conference teams, just kind of flat lying down

566
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: the stretch. I do kind of lean Virginia time. As

567
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 4: stupid as that sounds, I'd certainly no official play for me.

568
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: I don't know how you can have a confident play

569
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: in this game, just given the the large road favorite number.

570
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: If it does hover around that late. There's gonna be

571
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: some weird garbage stuff that just doesn't matter.

572
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be noisy, so I stay away. But

573
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: I have a slight fear this is like a Clemson

574
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: day jab thing. Obviously not good Clemson, but still no.

575
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: I think Duke smashed them. Now, the possession counts can

576
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: be really low. It's going to be like sixty sessions. Jesus, yeah,

577
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be what it is. I

578
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: know Duke has been running more lately, but they're not

579
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: going to force short possessions. Virginia is going to bote

580
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: the clock per usual. UBA's going to get back in transition.

581
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see how Virginia is going to score

582
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: like at all. You're gonna get lucky shooting that. That's

583
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: basically it. You're not going to score inside against Duke.

584
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Virginia can't score inside anyways, and you're not gonna get

585
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: second chances on the glass. It's not Virginia does number

586
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: one to number excuse me number two. Duke doesn't allow it.

587
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: On the other end, how on earth is Virginia going

588
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: to stop Cooper, flag and everything else that Duke has

589
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: I am not fading Duke in this matchup at fifteen's

590
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: insane for a rod a RODA team in the in

591
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: conference place, especially in the Power leagues. But no, thank you,

592
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: not going to fade Duke with Virginia.

593
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want reallybo oh your boy for it

594
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 4: was conson twenty seven assist in two turnovers last three games.

595
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 4: This is finally at a moment where he's he's coming, He's.

596
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: Blast ball and there we go. How's that competition in

597
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: the last three games, Matthew, He's.

598
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: Playing the ballhawking Virginia Tech defense and those that dynamite

599
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 4: freshman six point five in rotation at Georgia Tech.

600
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly the murders row there.

601
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be very clear to the listener, I do

602
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: not think Virginia is a live dog. I brought this

603
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: up mostly to poke at my guy Matt talk about Duke.

604
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: What Kai started to almost talk into is I like

605
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: a Virginia team total under angle here. I do not

606
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 3: think it's going to be over sixty possessions and I

607
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: don't know how they score other than slopping in some

608
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: threes over the top of that Duke defense. So that

609
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: would be something I'm looking at it's fifty eight, and

610
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: the projection at Ken Palm, I don't know what the

611
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: number will be. Something around that neighborhood would would intrigue

612
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 3: me for a team total under all right, three other

613
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: ones i'n to pitch you guys on potentially being live

614
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: dogs to look at.

615
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: Also on Monday, Texas Southern it's getting a touchdown.

616
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: At home, excuse me on the road at Southern Southern

617
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 3: is running away with the Swack right now, but we

618
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 3: know Texas Southern is always game to play up to

619
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: better competition. Johnny Jones kind of what he's known for there,

620
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: So I'm intrigued by potentially going with the Tigers Syracuse

621
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. I don't want to back Syracuse, but I

622
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: almost want to fade Pitt even more than I don't

623
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: want to back Syracuse. I think Pitt is circling the drain.

624
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what Jellen Lowe's status is going to

625
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 3: be their starting point guard. He's very, very important, but

626
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: they couldn't get away from Miami stinks.

627
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: I know Syracuse stinks, but I kind of think they

628
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: stink less than Miami.

629
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 3: So we'll get a potentially something there with Syracuse to

630
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: really flush pit season down the toilet, and then matt

631
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: Eastern Michigan.

632
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm on Tuesday hosting Miami Ohio, a team that we

633
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: like the talent of, but we're still a little skeptical

634
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: of the coaching.

635
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: And Eastern Michigan's looked better since they started getting investigated

636
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: for point shaving. Sudden they suddenly they are competent. So

637
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: any of those three to you, mister Mathias, I.

638
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: Like of the obviously, I went right to the MAC

639
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 4: and just focus my attention on that arena face. This

640
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: is my second favorite of the option gym. I still

641
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: think my favorite selection here is Bowling Green, who I've

642
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 4: been stubbornly a fan of this season. Three of their

643
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 4: last four wins against basically three of the worst ten

644
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 4: teams in college basketball in Northern Illinois, Coastal Carolina, and

645
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 4: Buffalo on the road though kayate Buffalo. So they come

646
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 4: back home and they play a Kent State team and

647
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 4: they're finally healthy ish, Like I look at their rotation,

648
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: thing at Dejon humphreyback, who was a key piece last year,

649
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: and this has been kind of then the hindrance to

650
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 4: this team all season.

651
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: I think Simon really was excited about the depth he had.

652
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: He's been down two of his key bigs, So I

653
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: think this is actually a good by Loo because no

654
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 4: one's taking their recent improvement seriously because they haven't beat anybody.

655
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 4: I think this is kind of the They sneak up

656
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 4: on Kent State here, who has been much better, by

657
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: the way, and they pop them. Kent State's good, but

658
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: they are inconsistent. I think sometimes to jump shot relyant,

659
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 4: as crazy as that sound, but Sollinger and against that

660
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: weird funky Bowling Green zone saw all that is to

661
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: say Bowling Green moneyline, big.

662
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: High variance game beard.

663
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: Just again, I just think it's a dead weird spot

664
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 4: for Kent Stay here, and I think Bowling Green is

665
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: undervalued because no one's taking what they've done seriously and

666
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: they probably shouldn't. But again, I'm trying to kind of

667
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: take the lead here KAI before the inflection point really

668
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: hits what their value in the market.

669
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't win on the MAC. I keep betting it.

670
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing. It's dumb. Yeah, so

671
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this one. Kent State just absolutely murdered

672
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: them in game one. That scares me. They're up at

673
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty five and up winning by a bunch. I'm a

674
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: little bit intributed to Michigan. But again, Jim, I'm not

675
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: betting the max. You can't make me do that, syrahcuse

676
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: without Jaylen Low if lows out again for Pitt, sure,

677
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's certainly a bet against the number. For

678
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: sure Miami. We took against Pitt yesterday. That worked out.

679
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Tech Southern though my favorite of the bunch. I do

680
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: think this team in the Swack can beat anybody as

681
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: talented or more talent than anybody else in this league.

682
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: Swacks always Strange Southern at Texas Southern, I'm sure the

683
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: home crowd will be fine there. I would venture a

684
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: flyer or take a flyer on Texas Southern gym at

685
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: plus seven.

686
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my favorite one. Yeah, that's my favorite one

687
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: as well.

688
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: Kai six and a half or seven in the market

689
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: right now, I'm not I'm not gonna go money line

690
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: because I'm a pansy and I'm scared, but I am

691
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: going to take plus seven right now what we see

692
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: out there, So I will lock that in and included

693
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: in my summary once we get down to that at

694
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: the end of the episode. But yeah, I just the

695
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: lack of success we've had in live dogs has me

696
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: a little gun try on a lot of these. So yeah,

697
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: intrigued by the spread on fading pit there with Syracuse,

698
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: but I just I don't like Syracuse enough to do it,

699
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: So instead we will pivot to the next section, which

700
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: is the favorite favorites are overdogs. Last week, boy, not

701
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 3: great either, FAU depended on your number against Charlotte, Campbell

702
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 3: barely went out right, so they did not cover go

703
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: to one hundred and five and did not cover Matthew

704
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: because they gave up ninety two.

705
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: That's me had west Reuschkins scorre ninety two against them.

706
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 4: That was weird, I don't know, very confusing.

707
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: And I was monitoring both Oregon and Marquette.

708
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: I think Kay and I both laid it with Marquette

709
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: against De Paul, And yeah, Marquette is in trouble right now.

710
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: They are not playing good basketball.

711
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: So let's try to find some teams that maybe will

712
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: play good basketball this week. And I don't have any

713
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: on Monday, Matthew, but I like three on Tuesday, yukon Florida, Ucla.

714
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with Florida because we know they're playing

715
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: good basketball. This team has been awesome over the last

716
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: two to three weeks, blowing teams out, including the number

717
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: one team in the country on the road. Alex Condon

718
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: is hurt, but Kai Oh, let's just pull Micah hand

719
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: logged him off the the mash unit pile and debut

720
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 3: him for twenty minutes and get real competent performance from

721
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: him out of nowhere. And Elijah Martin returned so laying

722
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: fifteen against Oklahoma. Very intrigued by that. Oklahoma's in big,

723
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: big trouble. They have trended way down recently, just lost

724
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: at home to LSU. They might be on their way

725
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: out of the tournament.

726
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: The other two UCLA heading back west to host.

727
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 3: Minnesota minus twelve there and Yukon off that bafflingly poor

728
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: loss to Seaton Hall laying six against Llanova. I'm pretty

729
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: intrigued by kay. Any of these three stand out to

730
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: you or is there another favorite you're looking at this week?

731
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: I think Yukon's the best of the bunch there. Jim, Yeah,

732
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: you can bet that that Dan Hurly practice was not

733
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: fun following that Seaton Hall loss. He no doubt is

734
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: ready to get his men back in shape this Yukon

735
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: lost to Villanova earlier this season. SAMs McNeely at Villanova,

736
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: so another angle for a little revenge.

737
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: Here and throws to beat them. Yep.

738
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, despite Eric Dixon's greatness, I do

739
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: think Yukon can can figure out a combination to throw

740
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: at him at least try to contain him a little bit.

741
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: He's their weapon, He's their only weapon, and I think

742
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 1: it's a great bounce back spot for Yukon, especially at home.

743
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: Matt so yeah, the Huskies for me, I kind of

744
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: like Iowa stage him Colorado do tell.

745
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

746
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 4: The Buffs off their first win a big twelve, actually

747
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: their first win since before Christmas. They beat Bellerman at home,

748
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 4: and then they lost every game they played until this

749
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 4: weekend against UCF at home. Congratulations. I remember the first

750
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: conference game was against I was Stay at home and

751
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: it was a very close game until late. I always

752
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 4: Stay did the thing where they kind of mess around

753
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: and they play close with a good team and then

754
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: they just put on a twelve ozer run in the

755
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: final thirty seconds of the game and they find a

756
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: way to cover. I think I always state is kind

757
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: of by low is one ways to say. I just

758
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: think they're due for like an eye popping dominant Iowa

759
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 4: State forty minute performance, which really haven't seen since the

760
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: Momo injury.

761
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: I think this is this.

762
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: They beat TCU by a billion.

763
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah sorry, and I bet TCU in that game, so

764
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: I think a repeat of that performance is coming. The

765
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 4: question is the price here? I think you're gonna have

766
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: to lay. Like eighteen, kem Pom has its seventeen. Colorado

767
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: is sort of in the boil ball fashion, not always

768
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: an easy team to squash. But I think in this matchup,

769
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: I always State has their attention because they did play

770
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: close at their building, and I think Colorado coming down

771
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 4: from altitude just kind of rolls over frankly. So I

772
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: like I would say, here, it's my first official play

773
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: of the show.

774
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: There he goes. Good for you. I'm gonna let you

775
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: have that one, Matt, But I am going to join

776
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: Kai on Yukon.

777
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: I just think we've seen very defined good matchups bad

778
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: matchups for Yukon teams at pressure four spunch turnovers that

779
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: really exposes their backcourt, and Villanova.

780
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: Does not do that.

781
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: The other thing Villanova doesn't do Kai they don't get

782
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 3: to the free throw line at all and Yukon fouls

783
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: you like crazy.

784
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: I think that helps Yukon here.

785
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 3: So good matchup plus off a loss, angry Dan Hurley

786
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 3: plus revenge angle I'll probably get. It's probably gonna be

787
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: like seven and a half ye other than the six

788
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: the ken Come's offering, maybe even higher given the Dale

789
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: McNeely back in the lineup factor, but I will lay

790
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: up till like nine. I think they want to double

791
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 3: digits there. Yeah, Kai, I'm ballsy here with Yukon. Last

792
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: last week a couple of my bets got picked off

793
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: because of price, So maybe I'll be a little more flexible.

794
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: Mark. It does like to shade our Leans gym. Maybe

795
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: we're just too obvious on this show. Yeah I could

796
00:34:59,160 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: have obviously.

797
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

798
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: The one concern with UCLA is that they actually have

799
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: worse travel than Minnesota. Yeah, they're coming back from Indiana

800
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 3: and Minnesota was just at USC so they've been hanging

801
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: on the beaches, probably went surfing, hanging out in La.

802
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: So that that spooks me a little bit. Not going

803
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: to lay Florida, even though I probably should.

804
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: It feels like at some point Oklahoma is going to

805
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 3: stand up for themselves instead of getting just bullied around

806
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: by that conference. So the only one I'm gonna actually

807
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 3: lock in is Yukon at that six right now.

808
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: Okay, moving two spots. Fellas last week, UNC is immune

809
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: to being in a good spot.

810
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: They can't cover even if they are in a perfect

811
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: spot at Clemson, So get out of my tournament. Tar Heels,

812
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: even though they're ad is the committee selection chair. That's

813
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: going to be a fun little controversy coming towards them.

814
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 1: They change it every year. That's a new person. Okay,

815
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: it ates just a quick tangent. He's reasonable. I like

816
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: that guy on the selection show. He was actually one

817
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: of the personality He could could explain stuff much better

818
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: in the past. Okay, okay, tang it over. Not a robot,

819
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: that's good, Yeah.

820
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: Not a robot.

821
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 3: Missippi State couldn't handle Florida in a great home spot.

822
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: We mentioned that earlier with them not being able to

823
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: hold up. But Auburn off a loss, did win, did

824
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: cover at Vanderbilt narrowly. They got a fifteen zero, and

825
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: then it is actually very close whether they're going to

826
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 3: cover down the stretch. But this week Monday, we mentioned

827
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 3: Kansas is a little bit of the bilof loss going

828
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: to sell High BYU. On the other end of that

829
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: altitude trip. K State lost at BYU.

830
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: Now they go to Utah, who's really feeling themselves after knocking.

831
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: Off the Jayhawks. No travel for k State. Market's got

832
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: at Utah minus two two and a half. I'm intrigued

833
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 3: by Kase State and then two on Tuesday. Guys, I'll

834
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: just set these up and Matt, I'll let you go

835
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: wherever you want with these. Arizona State plus eleven against

836
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: Houston Cougar's are off a huge win down the stretch

837
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 3: at at Arizona travels not bad obviously, you just drive

838
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: up from Tucson to Phoenix. But Arizona State without quaintance

839
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 3: could be screwed in the paint there.

840
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 2: That is my concern in that matchup.

841
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: And then Fresno State plus twenty at San Diego State. Matt,

842
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: this is when I'm going to back and it's just

843
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: too high. San Diego State has been bad against inferior competition.

844
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: They're off a huge win. They're better when they're playing up.

845
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't trust them as a big favorite, So twenty points, Matthew,

846
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: I will take Fresno.

847
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're in agreement.

848
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: I agree.

849
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: I think if you believe that San Diego State is

850
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 4: the kind of roller coast street team that they've been

851
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 4: all year, this is a prime spot to fade them.

852
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 4: But then I kind of look at the Fresno side,

853
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: and they've been feisty at home. We talk about how

854
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 4: the Savemart Center is not like necessarily a like a

855
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: crazy home crowd, but it's a weird, big, cavernous venue

856
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: that I think is just an odd place to play

857
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: for opponents in the mount and West, a lot like

858
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: the San Jose at home. But then that first game,

859
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: the Aztecs just completely and utterly eight at the rim

860
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 4: when they started trying the second half. So I do

861
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: think maybe it's a first half play, Jim, and then

862
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: maybe there's a wake up call like we've seen the

863
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 4: Aztecs do against the drags of this team. So I

864
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 4: think the specific play for me, if I can go

865
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 4: derivative market here is st is Fresno first half.

866
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's like ten. I'll allow it, Okay, thank you.

867
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: You know I don't need your permission.

868
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: Fine.

869
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: I think if I get like ten or ten or more,

870
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: I like.

871
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: That you should. I would think you should. Yeah, I

872
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: like the number two, Matthew.

873
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot of points. Man, that's a lot of points.

874
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: I think San Diego State's only beaten Fresno by twenty

875
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: plus this season. I have to go all the way back,

876
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: but I think that's true. So yeah, laying margin. They're

877
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: not a great offensive team.

878
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: They played December fourth, it was like way on those

879
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: early conference games, way way way.

880
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, they're not a great offensive team. So

881
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I do like Fresno there boy Arizona State. I mean,

882
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: that's a big number, and you like that after an

883
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: emotional win against Houston. But Jim, I think Jim's right.

884
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: They're going to absolutely murder them inside in the interior.

885
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: And I just don't think Calvin Sampson's bunch is a

886
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: letdown type of team, like we're right and high on ourselves.

887
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: I don't think they get high or low. They are

888
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: epitome of and see big Ley in Kansas State. Though

889
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: I do think that travel is really nothing from BYU.

890
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: I still think they are on the trajectory of getting

891
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: back up towards where we thought they were going to

892
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: be tough loss to BYU, but I think they can

893
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: bounce back here and beat Utah out right.

894
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the only one I'm going to go

895
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: with is Fresno.

896
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: But I'm going to think long and hard about k

897
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: State Kai and it could be one to end up

898
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: adding Monday during the day or something. I can't convince

899
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: myself quite there right now, but I agree. I think

900
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: the trend is still up with them despite that loss,

901
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 3: and Utah is a worse team than BYU, no surprise there.

902
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: But I think case State can get back to the

903
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 3: winning ways and continue to have a Dalliance's a little

904
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: flirtation with the bubble. They're not quite on the fringe

905
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: or they're not quite right in the mix yet, but

906
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 3: they're lurking.

907
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: They are lurking. So our final section here the trash the.

908
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: Trash man pick of the week.

909
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm the trash man.

910
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it,

911
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 3: totally unreliable, undependable.

912
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: It that's it. You've been told.

913
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: How do you like that? Let's take out the trash Fellas.

914
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: Last week, Buffalo won at Northern Illinois in a disgusting

915
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 3: MAC game, And because I am in charge of the outline,

916
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about the MAC and I

917
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: felt bad beating up on the sad swack two of

918
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: the bottom ten teams that could have gone with that. Matt,

919
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 3: this is an acc trash game. Virginia Tech minus one

920
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: at Boston College. Two Maroon teams with not a lot

921
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 3: of hope this season, unfortunately, two bad rosters. But BC's

922
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: been weirdly.

923
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: Kind of feisty.

924
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 3: They almost wanted North Carolina over the past three weeks.

925
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 3: They've lost in single overtime, double overtime, and triple overtime.

926
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: That is an interesting trifecta for port BC not able

927
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: to get it done in added time.

928
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 3: Matt any take on this game. I'm very tempted to

929
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 3: bet the Hokies. I just think they have a little

930
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: bit more competence to them.

931
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: I agree, and they want up Florida State. They beat

932
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 4: Virginia on the road and they played SMU close.

933
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was.

934
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 4: It was a good team and they want to have

935
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 4: Notre Dame and then they most recently were at Virginia

936
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 4: and sort of a quick revenge turnaround spot.

937
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: I forgive them for that. I like them here against BC.

938
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: We love Mike Young. We need this roster like badly

939
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 4: lack talent. I think they at least have found some

940
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 4: sembilance of a rotation. They just have no backcourt dynamism,

941
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 4: Like they're just very, very execution reliant. But you have

942
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: Toby the Wall up front. I think he can kind

943
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: of recavoc against this BC front line that I just

944
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 4: frankly don't trust and don't think provides any sort of

945
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 4: resistance at all. Yeah, kind of slightly into VT, but

946
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 4: I'm not as interested enough to go dumpster diving.

947
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: I feel like you started more emphatically on their side

948
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: than you finished. You will stocked yourself.

949
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I cooled off like cool Eileen VT. I

950
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: Leen VT.

951
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: It can't get excited about you. About the Virginia Tech. Yeah,

952
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: Mike Young is like he's these postgame pressors.

953
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: He's just defeated.

954
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: Man.

955
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: He just knows he's got no money and it's just tough.

956
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the man. Yeah, if you're gonna

957
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: make me go dumpster diving, Jim, I'll lean Battech in

958
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: this one. They can actually score. Their offense is actually competent.

959
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: BC's is just brutal. So I'll take the team that

960
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: can actually score and a team that's actually proven it

961
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: can win close games over the past couple weeks. So

962
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: Botech is a lean there not an official play.

963
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to make it official play.

964
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 3: Let's go Hokies, Let's raise up Mike Young, Let's pop

965
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 3: like over a Redenbaker. To quote mister Rostein, I just

966
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 3: think they're a little bit more competent, more talented, and

967
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: slightly better coached in the game.

968
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: They just have to win.

969
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: I will take Virginia Tech. I think they're winning those

970
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: games when they have the opportunity to do so. So

971
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: I think they're able to get it done in a

972
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 3: road environment that I am not scared of. I don't

973
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 3: know how many people were in the arena the last

974
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: Boston College home game that I was watching, but it

975
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: was sub five hundred I think so.

976
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like may it's the worst home court in the

977
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: a SEC. I think bar none.

978
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 3: Yep, that wraps it up, Fellas no spotlight section this week.

979
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 3: I think we hit a lot of games through all

980
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 3: our different sections there. Sorry if we did not hit

981
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: a game you were listening for specific listener, but remember

982
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: to check out the rest of the episodes this week

983
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: on BBOC. You'll have more analysis of Wednesday, Thursday, and

984
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 3: then into the weekend. But guys, before we run, let's

985
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 3: quick recap all of our official plays from this episode.

986
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: I will start taking Arizona plus one on Monday night

987
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: at Baylor, Illinois hopefully plus five.

988
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what it'll be at Wisconsin, but.

989
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 3: I think they compete Texas Southern plus seven on Monday

990
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: Night Yukon minus six all the way up to nine,

991
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 3: is what I said. I think they're gonna smack Vilanova

992
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 3: Fresno plus twenty, Virginia Tech minus one in the trash, Kai,

993
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 3: what about you?

994
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: All right, Jimmy, it was a bad week last week.

995
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to get back on the old pommel horse

996
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: here and be a gymnast. Arizona, Yes, against Baylor, I'm

997
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: hoping to get too, but if it doesn't get their

998
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: money line over one and a half in one Illinois also,

999
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: Jim against Wisconsin. Hey, hopefully Wisconsin gets some money. We've

1000
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: seen the market bet home team, so Illinois hopefully over five,

1001
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: Texas Southern locking in plus seven, and Southern Yukon against Villanova.

1002
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: That one's going to really get away, I think from

1003
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: the market, So be prepared to bet early if you

1004
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: want Huskies in that game, and then Fresno, would love twenty,

1005
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: would love twenty against San Diego State. That's my five

1006
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: soome for this week.

1007
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 2: Beautiful Matthew, you're mister low volume as usual.

1008
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was one one and two, one

1009
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 4: two and one. Sorry the last number is pushed one

1010
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 4: two and one, So yeah, bad week for me as

1011
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 4: well the next.

1012
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: When you're betting money lines, you know it's not it's

1013
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: not a simple win loss.

1014
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: It's not your right exactly.

1015
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 4: The ROI was probably not as bad, but yeah, I

1016
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 4: guess you can call it a win push in Michigan,

1017
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 4: a win cover with San Jose and an Akron did

1018
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 4: not cover. There's some late money against and I try

1019
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 4: to get the best numbers. Still, I think that it

1020
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 4: was a hook. I got hooked on that one. I

1021
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: got thirteen and a half and then I folded down

1022
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 4: the stretch. They always do keeping it tight. Again, I

1023
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 4: always state, as I mentioned, just a bully bet there

1024
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 4: against the Colorado team off altitude that I think is

1025
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 4: going to start to really really fold down the stretch

1026
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 4: and following you guys on Fresno. But again, the first half,

1027
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 4: the depth concerns can really bother me. Second half, I

1028
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 4: think that's where a revved up, pissed off as tech

1029
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 4: team at that game's closed could blow that game wide open.

1030
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: So that's my concern with THEE the second twenty.

1031
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 3: All Right, there you have it, folks, That's what we

1032
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 3: are locking in this week. Hopefully all of your bets

1033
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 3: go wonderfully as we continue to head down the stretch

1034
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 3: of the college basketball season. We are four weeks from

1035
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 3: Selection Sunday as we record this KAI in four weeks

1036
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: and twelve minutes, we will have the start of a bracket.

1037
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 3: We'll start the Adam Zucker reveal, so looking forward to that,

1038
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 3: Looking forward to a few more.

1039
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: Weeks here of BBOC before we get into.

1040
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: Some conference tournament previews. I'm sure we'll be teaming up

1041
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 3: with Stucky and the Gang for those. Just keep an

1042
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: eye on that in a couple of weeks. But for now,

1043
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: thank you for tuning in.

1044
