12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 3: one from the parking lot from the championship. Shut it all.

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: It's codge basketball. It's not the size on the dog

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: in the fight, it's the size of the fight in

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm Stucky and with me as always as Colin Wilson

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: and Mike Randall. No punishment last week, boys, good work

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: on the Friday night six pack. Colin, feel good to

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: get off the snine.

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: Feels really good to get off this night, especially in

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: college basketball, where the swings can come, the streaks of

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: winning and losing can go so fast, and you know,

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: it's been a really good week to kind of sit

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: back and be buried in the snow here in the Midwest,

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: be able to get my eyeballs on a ton of basketball,

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: gearing up for conference tournament play here, and watching my

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: Hogs catch fire after we jilted them.

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 7: On last week's podcast, Randall, how's you we go, It's.

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 6: Been a great week boys. The one thing that frustrated

31
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 6: me was last night. We need to stop talking about

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 6: metrically strong defense for Tennessee. I don't want to hear

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 6: about anymore. Bammelt them up from three at home, seventy

34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: five points, Florida seventy three points, Missouri seventy eight points

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 6: to LSU, and last night South Carolina minus two starters

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 6: banging threes left and right. The only reason Tennessee survived

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 6: that game is because Victor Bailey went bananas seven to

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 6: ten from deep. Tennessee supposed to be this tremendous, lockdown

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 6: defensive team they're going to challenge. And you told me

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 6: Kentucky was going to be where they are and Tennessee

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 6: is going to be sitting at eight and five in

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 6: the SEC. I wouldn't believe it. It's been a good week,

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 6: but I gotta say Tennessee one of the biggest disappointments

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 6: in college basketball.

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: Well, you're getting right into the ramp. We're going to

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: get to recap just at a commentary on the week.

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 3: We'll get into our Friday night six pack with the

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: guys from Three Man Leave. We will get into we

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 3: were out of Future. Randall will bring his trio Futures.

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: We'll get into some Saturday spots we have circled. Finally,

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: I'll close up with an interview with Jordan Majuski. We'll

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: be talking some under the radar mid majors who can

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: make some noise in March. Stay for that at the end.

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: By the way, Colin got off the schneid. That is

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: that term ever used in anything but sports? I'd assume

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: it's it's a I know that it's a term. Maybe

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: it's a Yiddish term. It's a term that has to

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: do with the game of gin Schneider, where you prevent

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: someone from scoring. I think going based on memory here

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: and then schneid I think came from that, but you

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: never I think Chris Berman used it a lot. But anyway,

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: before we get to futures in six pack, let's uh,

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: Red already got into it quickly, but let's go around

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: the horn and just yell about something. Bitch moan or

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: just an observation. All right, let it out.

66
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 7: This is your rant of the week.

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: I'll start. I would like to curse Loyola Maryland again.

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: At least they pushed up thirteen with six to go

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: push and triple over time and absolute torture chamber of

70
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: a game on Saturday. Loyal Maryland a big fu for

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: that push, and of course they rolled the next day

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: and I didn't have them. Randall what he got besides, uh,

73
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: you not believing in Tennessee's defense or offense?

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, guys, listen, I didn't bet it, but can the

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 6: people who were pounding the chest on the Indiana went

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 6: over Minnesota, just take it easy place here. Liam Robbins

77
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 6: was obviously banged up. No Gabe Kalishaw. He was ruled

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 6: out right away, and Minnesota played very well and pretty

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 6: much had that game. I know Minnesota can't win on

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 6: the road. I get it, but in that situation, you

81
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 6: pull away late in the game and Indiana's like, oh,

82
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 6: we knew we had in the bag we were going

83
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 6: to cover. Really, guys, really, no Kalashaw, Robbins is injured.

84
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 6: I mean, just take it easy, please. Indiana has again

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 6: been a huge disappointment. But Minnesota on the road not good.

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: But that wasn't your typical not cover last night out

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 6: there in Assembly Hall.

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: I think Calcier for the for the pronunciation police. Oh sorry,

89
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: thank you. I say it different every time too, just

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: so I don't get tweeted at that. I said, we

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: pronounced his hit wrong. But yeah, Robbins has been awful

92
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: lest I don't even know what he's doing out there.

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: He's like one rebound in four points and twenty minutes,

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: and now he's got to go up against on Saturday.

95
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: But they're at home, so I don't know. But they're

96
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: where they'd never lose. But he has to go against Cobert,

97
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: who went for like thirty five against them earlier this year.

98
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 3: But Indiana, I don't. I mean, this is another indictment

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: maybe on an Archie Miller. But they come out slow

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: every game. They're never ready to play. They're down twenty

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: one to seven, twenty four to seven, every single game.

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: And to their credit, they do make a lot of

103
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: comebacks and make games interesting sometimes pulled them out like

104
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: last night. But there's a lot of people in Indiana,

105
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: a lot of Indiana fans that are upset with Archie Miller,

106
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: but that that's one of the biggest things that I've noticed,

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: is it just come out flat and not prepared. It

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: seems like way more times than should happen. Colin what

109
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: he got for this week. Yeah, I mean, I'm not.

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 4: Going to go into a big RAMS in a big

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: bitch session. I think what I've done the past week,

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: maybe we should. I'll use this space to go ahead

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: and talk about how I've pulled back. I've really pulled

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: back from playing six to eight games a day because

115
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: I had a day a week ago where I went

116
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: zero to six on the app and in real life

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: with my own money. Four of those games were either

118
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 4: by a half point or a point loss. And we're

119
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: talking I'm taking Kentucky and Arkansas's beating them by one.

120
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: I'm taking Wichita minus two and they're beating UCF by one.

121
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: So we're talking like some extremely close narrow total that

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: South Carolina was involved in and they got tricked into

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: putting in a layup at the end of the game

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: to go over the total. We're talking some real random

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: shit happening. To have a cold streak, and when you

126
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: have a cold streak, if you're new to gambling, and

127
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: you know you haven't had one of these, and you

128
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 4: don't want to double up.

129
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: You know you don't want to try to chase your losses.

130
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: You don't want to try to play more, you don't

131
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: want to be come into volume, take a step back.

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 7: And this week I wrote, you know, one game a.

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 4: Night for action, won all those games and took a

134
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: step back and looked at some baseball, look at some golf,

135
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: just kind of got my mind off of it. I'm

136
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: ready to reset myself and come back and have a very,

137
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: very profitable march.

138
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 7: But those that randomness happens. Trust your process.

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 4: When you come to your conclusions and you have an

140
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: zero to six night and you're losing by half points

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: and points, trust your process. If you think your process

142
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: is broken, then you need to completely shut it down

143
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 4: and consider something new. But things are gonna get funky

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 4: here down the stretch with players opting out, teams opting out.

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: You know, if you have losses, mount up, take a

146
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: step back, go bit lighter on the volume, and then

147
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: come back to it and keep following your process.

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's one of the questions I get most often

149
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: via DM is like, all right, I'm i can't I'm

150
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: in a losing streak, or well I chase and now

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: I'm in trouble. It's like, you know, and I've been

152
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: doing this for so long, I'm kind of past this point,

153
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: but still I will get to points where I'm like,

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: I need a day off or I need a couple

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: of days off. But when I first started, those were huge,

156
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: when I figured out, okay, I need to take three

157
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: or four days off clear my head, not start chasing.

158
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: You start looking for the easy games. So when you're

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: first starting on, you find yourself getting in trouble, take

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: a step back, take a couple of days off. It

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: can really help. And uh yeah, I'm still personally, I'm

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: betting a lot smaller and I'm still learning this year,

163
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: Like I'm as far as dollar amounts, you know, we

164
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: have these back to backs, we have all the COVID breaks,

165
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: we have, you know, just so no fans, there's so

166
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: many unique aspects of this season that you know, the

167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: home dogs of six plus points, like they have no bite,

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: They're like thirty percent, it's insane. So I'm starting to learn, like,

169
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: all right, where am I going to be more selective?

170
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: There are these teams where and I have to guess

171
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: at the adjustments for COVID, and you know, you can

172
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: look back at the data and you could say, all right,

173
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: it's worth about two to three points if a team's

174
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: off three weeks. It's up to like four plus points

175
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: if it's close to a month. But that's just in aggregate,

176
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: and the sample size isn't great. What really is telling

177
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: and I don't have all this data and we don't

178
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: have a huge ample size. It's like where that was

179
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: that team able to practice? What is their conditioning like?

180
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: And and that can have effect not only on the

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: first game back, but the second game back some teams,

182
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: and then the first came back to the second back,

183
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: you're more these teams are more at risk haveing a

184
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: player out. So trying to avoid these teams, Look, I

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: learned the lesson the hard way that are coming back

186
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: from COVID, or just avoid their games altogether. Some of

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: these home dogs that are just overmatched, I think that

188
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: they miss the home crowd more than anyone else. They

189
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: just get deflated and then they don't have a fight back.

190
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm still learning this year, and I'm basically

191
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: been treading water all season in college basketball and Hopefully,

192
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: just like college football, the same thing happened. We can

193
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: close strong up. I spend all this time on college basketball.

194
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: I'm good at fire personally in March, and I hope

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: that all the hard work pays off. But yeah, I

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: completely agree, take a couple of days off, especially before March.

197
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: We can either reset, recharge your batteries, get your mind right.

198
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: That really helps when you're first starting out. Enough lecturing,

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: Let's get into games. Some action.

200
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's do this.

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: Let's start with a look into the futures. Here's the

202
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: thing about the future.

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 8: Every time you look at it, the changes because you

204
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 8: looked at it.

205
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm actually really and someone asked me

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: on Twitter, are are you adding all these futures I

207
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: had before the year of my futures Peace, I had

208
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: Illinois and Saint Louis, so I already had those. And yes,

209
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: anytime we add on the podcast, anytime i'm giving a

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: good advice to out the future, I'm personally adding these.

211
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: So we have five so far, and I actually really

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: love all of them. We have Illinois twenty to one.

213
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Everyone knows I love that we have Florida State thirty

214
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: eight to one. Bought them at a great point in time.

215
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: They survived the a little break this survey that weekend,

216
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 3: and they beat Virginia. The two teams that I think

217
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 3: can beat Baylor, agon Zaga Saint Louis one hundred and

218
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: twenty five to one. I love them as our long shot.

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: We're starting to see them now. Jordan Gobwin a monster man.

220
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: We're starting to see them now the way after that

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: COVID break. This is a team that looks like who

222
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: we thought they'd be earlier in the air. Alabama twenty

223
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: two to one. Another team that I think, with their

224
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 3: style and the way that the defense is playing, can

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: challenge Baylor and Organzaga and then Rutgers eighty to one.

226
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Another semi long shot that I think we got a

227
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: really good price range, especially if they can pull off

228
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: an upset against Michigan today. So I love our five

229
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: so far, and it's been over the course of five weeks,

230
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: so you would think that, hey, this team dropped out,

231
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: but I still love our portfolio. We're going to add

232
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: another one tonight. Randall eu up, which three did you

233
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: bring to the party? All right?

234
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 6: As last time, what I want to do is give

235
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: you two big teams and then one of the smaller

236
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 6: teams with long odds that has a path in a

237
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 6: style to get there. First Up Connecticut Boys. They are back.

238
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 6: James boat Night is back. He returned to the team.

239
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: It's the elite score that they did not have when

240
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: he was out. Had eighteen points, four rebounds, two steals

241
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 6: just twenty five minutes in that big win over Providence. Now,

242
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: when they lose the lead player, when a team loses

243
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 6: the lead guy, the other guys have room to grow

244
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 6: and they go into enhanced roles. So players like Tyrese Martin,

245
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: RJ Cole, Isaiah Wattley, they've had chances to shine and

246
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 6: now they're a more dangerous offense because of it. But

247
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 6: they're still defensive oriented with Danny Hurley number one and

248
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 6: Biggies play adjust the defensive efficiency block percentage and second

249
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 6: in effective field goal percentage allowed. They play hard. They

250
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 6: lost to Creighton by eight without boat Night. They got

251
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 6: revenge against Providence and now they're going to Nova where

252
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 6: they're very live. Now, look, if they pull that one off,

253
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 6: these odds are completely gonna change. They're shooting thirty six

254
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 6: percent from three point range. They have a bunch of

255
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: tough guys on defense with length like Adama Snogo and

256
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 6: three players with over a steal and a half per game,

257
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 6: so their odds. I got them at FanDuel fifty five

258
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 6: to one at FanDuel.

259
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: I like them.

260
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 6: They have a go to guy down the stretch, they

261
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 6: have a style, they're tough. The other players have grown

262
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: and now they're getting completely healthy. Yukon is my first future.

263
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean having a guy like Cooked, it is

264
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: like you because some of their advanced metrics now again

265
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: sample size is a great You don't play a ton

266
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: of games this year, and they didn't have their best

267
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: player for a long stretch, which I think will benefit

268
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: them in March, right, establishing that depth, getting more experience

269
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: for all these other guys, and now you bring back

270
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: your go to player who can really just take over

271
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: a game. It's a fun player to watch. So I

272
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: don't think Connecticut on the surface is a top ten team,

273
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,239
Speaker 3: but they have one of the best players in college basketball.

274
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: And you hope that this is a well they were

275
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: a three seed back when they won it all and

276
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: Kemba took over games. That is what you would you

277
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: would go for here going into that tournament. That was

278
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: do we really. I don't think many people thought that

279
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: that was the reason I say that Connecticut was a

280
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: legit national title contender. They lost four or five then

281
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: the regular season. Then they won five games in what

282
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: five days to win the Big East Tournament, and then

283
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: they won They got a three seed after that in

284
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament. They ended up winning the NCAA Tournament.

285
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: They closed after losing four or five to close out

286
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: the regular season, and actually I think they lost seven

287
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: of eleven. Yeah, there were four and seven to finish

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: out the regular season, and they had a couple o

289
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: t losses and then they won eleven straight because basically

290
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: Kemba went nuts. The one thing I also do like

291
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: about this Connecticut team, and he may annoy you, but

292
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: Dan Hurley brings energy to this team, and there are

293
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: times when teams need energy right now, right there's no crowds.

294
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: You just go into these lulls and you get behind

295
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: and you need, you know, a spark. One of the

296
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: things that I've noticed with Connecticut is that, you know,

297
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: I love teams with like fired up bench, are fired

298
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: up coach that can provide that source of energy. But yeah,

299
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: you have a player like book Night and a hard

300
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: nosed team like Connecticut that can get after the offensive

301
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: glass and defend. Don't hate it? What price? What price

302
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: have we seen out there for gonna.

303
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 6: Get fifty five to one at Fendle.

304
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: Fifty five to one of Fendal. Okay, what's up next?

305
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: Next? One up?

306
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 6: The Oregon Ducks. I can hear Stucky groaning in the background.

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 6: The argument here is that they are also getting healthy.

308
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: They were predicted to be one of the top teams

309
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: in the Pac twelve, and they really struggled there in

310
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 6: the middle of the year without their point guard will Richardson.

311
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 6: They went to Colorado.

312
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: They never went in.

313
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 6: Colorado, lost there by seven, but they were tough without

314
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 6: having Richardson. Then they had back to back losses to

315
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 6: Oregon State and Washington State brutal. But since then they've

316
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 6: won three games in a row, Washington fine at home,

317
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 6: then they swept Arizona. Now they have Richardson back and

318
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 6: they have looked a lot better. They're trying, they're finally

319
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 6: getting healthy. Dana Altman has had success in the tournament.

320
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: I think the time is right to buy on the Ducks.

321
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 6: I also got them at fifty five to one at FanDuel.

322
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 6: Chris Duarte came back. He makes shots down the stretch.

323
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 6: Not having your point guard for most of this season

324
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 6: and playing these teams is really tough. In a conference

325
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 6: with Tiger Campbell, in a conference with McKinley wright, who

326
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 6: they're gonna get again tomorrow. So I think this is

327
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 6: a good pick Oregon. They've had that history. He got

328
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: to the Final four without Chris Bouchet that year.

329
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: They're starting to.

330
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 6: Get things going and they've had some pretty rough luck

331
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: in terms of teams are shooting almost seventy eight percent

332
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 6: from the free throw line against them. So this record

333
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: twelve and four, seven and three in the Pac twelve

334
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 6: could be a couple games better. They did beat Seaton

335
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 6: Hall on a neutral they lost a close game to

336
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 6: start the year to Missouri, so they've had some experience

337
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 6: and I think they could get hot here, thus making

338
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 6: these odds worse than they are right now. Oregon fifty

339
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: five to one. Also at FanDuel, Yeah, I don't actually

340
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 6: don't hate it.

341
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: I love I'm a huge fan at Dana all Man.

342
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: He's a great tournament coach because of their scheme. They

343
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: he will switch up defenses, change from zone to man

344
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: in the middle of the play, they will throw in

345
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: some press, some full corep press, some half corp press.

346
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: Just a tough team to prepare for, especially on short

347
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: rest in a tournament setting. And yeah, I think this

348
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: is the time now. Unfortunately we're recording this on Thursday night.

349
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 3: They played Colorado tonight, so their stock could go up

350
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: even further. But I think this is the time to

351
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 3: buy them. You know, they closed the year with Stanford

352
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: cal Oregon State. They do have a road game against

353
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: USC but if they win the night against Calada and they're

354
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: home against Utah, I mean this team's gonna start trending up.

355
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: And basically they've only played one game fully healthy and

356
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: that was Arizona State. Eric Williams didn't play in the

357
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 3: Arizona game. I mean, you only played fifteen minutes against

358
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 3: Arizona State. So you saw the potential with at Arizona State.

359
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: At Arizona team that's just getting healthy, and they still

360
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 3: pulled all those games, and you imagine they're just going

361
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: to continue to gel and get better. So yeah, I

362
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: think that this is the right time to buy Oregon.

363
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: I do think that they're a potential top twenty team.

364
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: Imagine if only Dante, They're big, didn't get hurt and

365
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: suffer a season ending injury, then the ceiling for this

366
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: team would have been really high. So yeah, I don't

367
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: hate it. What's your final pick?

368
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 6: Last one? Here, here's my long shot DraftKings one hundred

369
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 6: and fifty to one. You don't want to go to

370
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 6: war with the Rams, and VCU is ready to go

371
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 6: to war with you. They have been extremely hot lately

372
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 6: and their defense has turned it up in notch. They

373
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 6: are tenth in the country and adjusted defensive efficiency. They

374
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 6: force turnovers like crazy, They defend the arc, which is

375
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 6: critical for mid major success in the NCAA tournament, and

376
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 6: they pressure and they get after teams, and they win

377
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 6: on the road. Their last six games in a row

378
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 6: that they've won Dayton at home, Lasal at home, Fine,

379
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 6: then at Rhode Island never easy at Dayton, Saint Bonnie's

380
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 6: at home, and just beat Richmond at home. They are

381
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 6: sixteen and four, nine and two overall. Now the question

382
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: with the Rams is not the d It's going to

383
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 6: be can they score bones. Highland is getting on fire,

384
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: and he's a type of guy that I think may

385
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 6: be able to carry them for several games, almost twenty

386
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 6: points per game, four and a half rebounds, two steals.

387
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 6: He's thirty nine percent from three point range in over

388
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty attempts. The other guys are getting

389
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 6: into roles, Vince Williams Stockard. Those guys can make shots.

390
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: They are weak on the boards, and their offense can

391
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 6: be spotty, but they create enough with their pressure. Of course,

392
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 6: we've seen it before with VCU and at one hundred

393
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 6: and fifty to one, I think they have a style

394
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 6: depending on the matchup that can cause trouble there for

395
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 6: other teams. Early in the year, they did play West

396
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 6: Virginia lost a game on a neutral They beat Utah State,

397
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 6: they beat Memphis, they played Penn State away in a

398
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 6: true road game almost one. So they have played some

399
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 6: different some big Power five teams and competed well. VCU

400
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: guys DraftKings one hundred and fifty to one.

401
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, don't hate it because there are just a

402
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: bitch to play and they're gonna defend you. And I

403
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: love Bones Thailand. I'm a huge fan of Mike Rhodes

404
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: as a coach. I just worry about their offense at times.

405
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: Now they are extremely young. Uh you know. I mean

406
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: Highland is there is there Ace He's a sophomore, but

407
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: we'll speaking of Ace, they have Ace, Baldwin Hugh. I

408
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: mean it's four star recruit, wanted to buy a lot

409
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: of a couple of major programs. Can can he can

410
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: you know Watkins?

411
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: Uh?

412
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: Can they step up and continue to develop their games

413
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: and then contribute on the offensive and as we get

414
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: into March to help out Vince Williams and Bonees Island

415
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 3: that uh is a major question for me. It is

416
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: an extremely young team. They do struggle to shoot, and

417
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: their offense can be at times, but man, they can

418
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: defend their knowing to play. I think they're really well coached.

419
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: They have a go to play. I mean their top

420
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: ten defensive efficiency right now. They will if you if

421
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: you don't take care of the ball, they are going

422
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: to turn you over and guard you on every inch

423
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: of the floor. So it's definitely an intriguing team. I

424
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 3: like the call out of VCU. They deserve some respect

425
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of people are down on them coming

426
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: into the year, but we already have our a ten

427
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 3: long shot in Saint Louis, So I like I like

428
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: the intrigue of Yukon with Book right back, and are

429
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: they going to just start to ascend with him back?

430
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: And you have a player that can take over games.

431
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: I like buying Oregon now is getting healthier with Dana

432
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: Altman as a just a great tourney coach, you know

433
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 3: who can really just switch up the looks, and it's

434
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: it's a tough team to play if you're not familar

435
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: you're with them. So I'm gonna have to cut reluctantly.

436
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cut VCU since we already have our long shot,

437
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: and I'll lead it up to Colin to decide on

438
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: whether or not he wants to keep Oregon or Yukon.

439
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: Two teams by the way, that if you look at

440
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: their advanced metrics, you have to you have to take

441
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 3: them with a grain of salt because the organ hasn't

442
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: been healthy and Yukon hasn't its best player for long stretches.

443
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: So you can identify some strengths and weak weaknesses of

444
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 3: these teams. But know that this is why I think Randall,

445
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 3: you came with some good teams. They are now fully healthy,

446
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 3: and the anticipation would be that they're going to get

447
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: better and the market could come down on both Colin.

448
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: Tow what he got and both have You know, both

449
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: Oregon and Yukon have two coaches that you can trust

450
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: in March madness to you know, call the game right

451
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 4: and get you know, do what needs to be done.

452
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: And and I think that's the thing with the VCU

453
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: and Mike Rhodes. There just wasn't a lot of experience there.

454
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: He's been in the term that once lost in the

455
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 4: first round, but that's not the case here with our

456
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: two coaches of these teams. For Yukon, this is a

457
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 4: team that I can't say anything bad about. I took

458
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: them one hundred and one at the Westgate before the

459
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: season started. I loved them for the experience that they

460
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: brought back. And if you go back to what I

461
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: talked about last week, it's really important to me to

462
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: look at your offensive efficiency and your defensive efficiency. You

463
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 4: have to meet certain criteria to be a real threat

464
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: in the tournament. And you know those barriers are one

465
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 4: hundred and thirteen point nine. You want to be over

466
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: that on your offensive efficiency. You want to be under

467
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: ninety six on your defensive efficiency. Both these teams meet

468
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 4: the defensive efficiency requirement, so do VCU. But none of

469
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: these teams meet the offensive and that it has to

470
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: deal with, you know, not having your star player, having

471
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 4: you know, a schedule kind of shifted around because of

472
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: some cancelations. But I expect both of them to be

473
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: over the threshold from an offensive side. So, you know,

474
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: when you look at Yukon, you know Suck you mentioned

475
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: the energy factor. I call it the Eric Musselman factor.

476
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: Hurley kind of has the same thing. He could make

477
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 4: you know, something out of nothing and get his players

478
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 4: fired up at any point.

479
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 9: You know.

480
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 7: The one hesitation I have with this team is the timing.

481
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 4: I would want to buy this number on Sunday after

482
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: our potential loss to Villanova. You guys know me, it's

483
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: peaks and valleys with a stock. You know, when you

484
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 4: buy a stock and when you don't. And for these guys,

485
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 4: after this Villanova game on Saturday, it's really kind of

486
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 4: smooth sailing. And if you look at one of the

487
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: four factors of you know, of basketball, one of those

488
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 4: is offensive rebounding. Yukon a sixth in the nation, and

489
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 4: you know, now they get their best player back after

490
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: he's missed eight games.

491
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: I love them a lot. Oregon.

492
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 7: We talk about stocks and when to buy. I'm not

493
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 7: really sure this is the time to buy.

494
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 4: If you look at bracketology on ESPN, they're currently listed

495
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 4: as a tenth seed, and if you look out the

496
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 4: remaining schedule, yeah stuck. You mentioned they played USC, But

497
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 4: what catches my eye is they play four straight road

498
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: games to end the season USC, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State.

499
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: All that travel and then they go to the conference tournament.

500
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: So I'm not really sure that fifty five to one

501
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 4: if this is the best time to buy the Ducks.

502
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 10: Do I want to buy into Dana Almon? Yeah, I

503
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 10: think we buy into him most years. Is it the

504
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 10: time to buy because they're getting healthy, Yeah it is.

505
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 10: But when you look at it from a scheduling perspective

506
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 10: and how many times they're going to be playing away

507
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 10: from home before they go into the conference tournament, I

508
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 10: think we could buy them before the conference tournament and

509
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 10: probably get the same number.

510
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the same with Yukon. I think

511
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: does Villanova game after that, You're not gonna get a

512
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: good number on Yukon. So for me, I'm gonna bump

513
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: Organ purely on the fact that I don't think it's

514
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: the right timing.

515
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: I may revisit this Ducks team.

516
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 4: In our little futures before we get to the before

517
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 4: we get to the dance during conference tournaments, and we

518
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 4: may take them then. But Yukon fifty five to one

519
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: is the play because the timing is right and they

520
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: meet all the other criterias.

521
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, and by the way we're gonna we'll probably

522
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: we'll add three more. And if you want to ride

523
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: with our entire portfolio every week, I mean I personally am.

524
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: And there'll be a cup that we try to hedge,

525
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: like Saint Louis for sure, potentially Rutgers depending on where

526
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: the gap. But basically we're I think just hoping that

527
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 3: Kinzig or Baylor doesn't win it, and we picked one

528
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: of the teams, so I'm probably just letting them all ride.

529
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: So but it worked. But just if you prefer and

530
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: you don't want to lock up too much money or

531
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: to shitch of investments, just pick and choose which ones

532
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: you like and which ones you want to ride with Randall,

533
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: we have added Yukon at fifty five to one book

534
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: that we trust thoughts.

535
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: I liked it.

536
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 6: I was impressed how this team treaded water He's a

537
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 6: game changer. There are very few players right now I

538
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 6: think that can come back and make the impact that

539
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 6: he's going to make. The athleticism I saw the end

540
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 6: night on a put back dunk was there. They have defense,

541
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 6: they have a style. I am curious to see how

542
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 6: they're going to play against Villanova Collins. Right they lose

543
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 6: to Villanova, you're going to get this a little bit better.

544
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 6: But I do think there's a chance they go down

545
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 6: there and win because I think they're fired up. Hurley

546
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 6: does a great job right in an empty stadium. He

547
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 6: gets people going there in an empty arena. So yeah,

548
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 6: I like it. It's kind of the one that I

549
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 6: was leaning towards but didn't want to lead the witness

550
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 6: and see how you guys go through the process fair enough.

551
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know market expects them to lose. I

552
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: don't know how much it'll it'll change.

553
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it'll definitely change if they win. It'll definitely

554
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: change if they win a hundred percent.

555
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And it sucks the Villanova lost last game.

556
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: If Villanova won last game, maybe I don't know if

557
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: they would have been a week to sit on that

558
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: Creighton loss. So you're gonna get a Max Villanova effort.

559
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, if if Connecticut wins, yeah, the market's gonna

560
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: be like, oh hello, book night back and this team

561
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: might be legit. All right, So Connecticut, it is Illinois,

562
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 3: Florida State, Saint Louis, Rutgers, Alabama, and Connecticut. That is

563
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: our portfolio so far. It's time to move on to

564
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: our weekend six pack.

565
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: Six guys, six picks. It's a college who It's a

566
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: weekend six packs.

567
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: All right. We're now joined by the newest contributors to

568
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: our college hoops family here at the Action Network, Kaile McEwan,

569
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: Jim Root, and MATC. Cox, better known as the Three

570
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: Man Weave. They joined us every week this season to

571
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 3: help us build our weekend six Pack six picks for

572
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: the Friday night College Hoops slate. You can catch them

573
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: on Twitter at three m W Underscore CBB and on

574
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 3: the Three Man Weave podcast. Last episode, I instituted a

575
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: new policy. There would be penalties if our six pack

576
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: had a losing record, which meant Jim, Kai, Mike and

577
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: myself had to sing some fight songs. I think I

578
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: lost that battle. I couldn't even listen to the podcast

579
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: last week because I didn't want to hear myself sing.

580
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: But my punitive measures, my punitive policy seemed to work

581
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: because we went five and one if you include Jim

582
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: and I's same pick last Friday, the double dip on

583
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: La Tech. We crossed that Lat Tech in I think

584
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: ran a lot of the under there too. So Jim

585
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: and Kai, don't lie. It is part of you sad

586
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: that I know we had a good You want to

587
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: have a winning week, but it's part of you sad

588
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: that you didn't get to sing this week.

589
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think clearly we have some verseoning singing talent.

590
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 5: I was thinking we were going towards a Hanson type

591
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 5: of thing. Maybe take our show on the road on stage.

592
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: Jim.

593
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I am sad that I don't get a

594
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 5: sing this week. Hey, maybe I'll lose this week and

595
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 5: sing next week.

596
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: How about that?

597
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, just do it on purpose. Tank the pick to

598
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 11: get the singing going, and it clearly helped us. Maybe

599
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 11: you know that that humility made us work harder for

600
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 11: our picks. The punishment worked. Hopefully we can still find

601
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 11: a winner this week without doing any singing.

602
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: All right, note taking this is not the NBA, this

603
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: is college basketball. So interesting to see what you have

604
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: in store for us this week, especially Jim, I want

605
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: to see if we have the same pick again. But

606
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 3: we'll start with you, Kai. What do you got?

607
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go with Detroit Detroit minus nine hosting Robert Morris.

608
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 5: The Titans have been on fire lately, and I do

609
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 5: mean that literally forty point seven percent from three in

610
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 5: conference play. And I'm a believer. I don't think it's

611
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 5: an aberration at all. Antoine Davis is legit, bull Quoal

612
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: is legit. Eight of their top nine guys on the

613
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 5: roster upper classmen. This team, he's experienced, they can score.

614
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 5: And Robert Morris guys. Despite the split with Oakland, I

615
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: think it was very lucky. This team just lost a

616
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: first team All Horizon player in aj Brama. They went

617
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: twenty three for forty five over fifty percent from three

618
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: in those two games against an Oakland zone that quite frankly,

619
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 5: is terrible. That's not going to happen against Detroit. So

620
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 5: you get the Titans at home tonight off a split

621
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 5: with the first place Cleveland State Vikings, competing for a

622
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: third place finish in the Horizon.

623
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: Detroit minus nine expand your gambling horizons with the Horizon League.

624
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious to see where Robert Morris. It seems

625
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: to go to overtime every game where they're at mentally,

626
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 3: you know they were at home and they learn that

627
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: Brahma transferred and where is this team the rest of

628
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: the year and Brama For those that are not familiar, average,

629
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: I think like twenty one and ten average a double

630
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: double one in the year. It's a huge loss, So

631
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: trying to quantify that is difficult. I've adjusted them significantly.

632
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't see any value at nine, but as of

633
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: right now, but I don't have a great feel in

634
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: that game, don't hate it, so can't disagree with you vehemently,

635
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: Kai Jim. It's time to find out if we match again.

636
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: What do you got?

637
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 10: Well?

638
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 11: I feel like we're getting sick of the same teams

639
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 11: on this Friday slate. You know, we see the same

640
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 11: Horizon teams, Conference USA teams every week. I'm going out

641
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 11: West though. We got a new one on the slate,

642
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 11: Cal Baptist. They get a Grand Canyon team that is

643
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 11: coming off a three week COVID pause, which we know

644
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 11: statistically has been a detriment to squads Obviously there are exceptions,

645
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 11: but that is just one little advantage I like here.

646
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: I really enjoy the matchup. I think it sets up well.

647
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 11: Grand Canyons defense really wants to dominate the ain't forced

648
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 11: you to shoot over the top, and that's exactly what

649
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 11: cal Baptist wants to do. They're gonna have four absolute

650
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 11: gunners on the court at all times. Three guys are

651
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 11: hitting over forty two percent from deep on high volume.

652
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 11: They're gonna be able to light it up against Grand Canyon,

653
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 11: and honestly, there's a lot of three point regression coming here.

654
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 11: Grand Canyon's opponents are hitting under twenty seven percent from

655
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 11: deep in conference play.

656
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: That is insane.

657
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 11: That's going to rise, and this is a perfect matchup

658
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 11: for it to rise. On the other end, cal Baptist

659
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 11: opponents are hitting almost thirty nine percent from deep in

660
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 11: conference play.

661
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: That should go down.

662
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 11: Cal Baptists team that wants to take away the three

663
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 11: point arc, so I think that benefits them as well.

664
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 11: There's a little bit of worry about gcu's Mountains dominating

665
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 11: the offensive glass, but as long as gor Jack GaX

666
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 11: stays out of foul trouble, I think cal Baptists can

667
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 11: hold up there. This one's available at plus twelve at

668
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 11: Circle right now, so I'm going to lock that in

669
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 11: plus twelve. I think it's gonna come down because of

670
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 11: the way the market's been treating teams off of COVID pauses,

671
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 11: so keep an eye out for that. I would still

672
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 11: take it all the way down to plus ten th

673
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 11: anything into single digits is a little dicey, but keeping

674
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 11: out for the plus ten or plus eleven here.

675
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: We didn't match this week, Jim, but I don't disagree

676
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: like I did with your FIU pick, so we've been

677
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: on the same page. Plus twelve. I'm shocked that open

678
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: that high with Grant Kennon not having played since January thirtieth.

679
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: I after adjustments, I think i'd make this around the eighth.

680
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, Ghak for those not familiars with Florida transfer

681
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: big problem in that conference. He can get in foul trouble,

682
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: which is an issue. Cal Baptist plays no defense none whatsoever,

683
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: but their offense is really explosive. They have shooters all over,

684
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: They've gack in the middle. Can be a problem. So yeah,

685
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 3: I'm on board with this pick. I guess in tradition,

686
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: I'll follow Jim with mine since we actually don't match

687
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: for once. I considered cal Baptists, but you know, I'm

688
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: trying to get a little more conservative with these teams.

689
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: In games of teams off COVID breaks, I considered FIU.

690
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: I think could finally be healthy catching a bad Southern

691
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: miss team. I considered Charlotte, but I decided to go

692
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: with Utah State plus two against Boise State. All are

693
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: right up for this on the Action Network app. But look,

694
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 3: Utah State. I was on Boise State the other night

695
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: in the first meeting, and I thought Utah State actually

696
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 3: played very well after a two week pause. They didn't

697
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: play for two weeks, and they were missing Worcester, their

698
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: starting point guard. You know, coming off a two week

699
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: break and then trying to replace your starting point guard,

700
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: that's tough. And it's just a terrible shooting night. I

701
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: think they were like three of eighteen from three and

702
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: they had some open looks. Boise had no answer for

703
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: Keda in the in the middle, and I don't think

704
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: there's anything they can do except just religiously double him,

705
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: and there's gonna be open shooters who you know, have

706
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: a game under their belt. Now he went for thirty, thirty,

707
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: two and ten. I think he just dominated. But look,

708
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: the game was Utah State was up at the half.

709
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: It was I think tied with five to go or

710
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 3: one point game with five to go, and then Boise

711
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: pulled away late. It's a good matchup for Utah State.

712
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 3: They don't They defend really well in transition. They don't

713
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: give up anything at the rim, which is important against

714
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: the rim attacking Boise offense. It just as a number

715
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: of guys who can attack off the dribble, and they

716
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: forced Boise into a lot of tough shots and they

717
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: ended up making them at the end of the game

718
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: to pull away. But I liked what I saw from

719
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 3: Utah State. I think it'll get a much better effort

720
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: here after getting a game under their belt, adjusting to

721
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 3: life without Worcester, who didn't play he was in a boot.

722
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 3: I assume he's not gonna play here. Craig Smith will

723
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 3: make some adjustments here. I think Utah State gets the split.

724
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: So I'm going Utah State plus two at Boise. All right,

725
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 3: for the three man weave guys, let's close it out

726
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: with Matt.

727
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 12: Matt, what do you got, Yes, Sarah, I'm going with

728
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 12: Old Dominion Old fresh off a two game sleep last

729
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 12: weekend over Charlotte. This team is finally healthy, at full strength,

730
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 12: and you remember they came off that terrible COVID shutdown

731
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 12: they were without. Basically they're two best players Eliite Curry

732
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 12: and a j. Oliver against Marshall Leaken before that. Yeah,

733
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 12: they still somehow beat Marshall, a team who's playing in

734
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 12: top seventy five territory. What all the most about this

735
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 12: team and what the team will need in this matchup

736
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 12: against UAB. There's so much of adults upperclassmen experience. They're

737
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 12: not going to be phased by the swarming pressure that

738
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 12: UAB has thrown at you, as they have all year.

739
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 12: They picked off middle and lower two opponents. But we're

740
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 12: starting to see the true UAB colors shine through here.

741
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 12: Last week, I think that's flipped by LA Tech. They

742
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 12: were competitive in that game, but it was nice to

743
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 12: see UAB look mortal after blowing the doors off Rice

744
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 12: Sands three starters, after blowing the doors off in all

745
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 12: Tennessee state down three plus starters, I've lost track of

746
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 12: who's on that team anymore at this point. And also, Jimmy,

747
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 12: I'm pulling the three point variant monster card here ultimate

748
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 12: and shooting twenty seven percent in conference player from the

749
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 12: Land of plenty. Are they a great shooting team. No,

750
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 12: but they're better than twenty seven percent. It gets UAB

751
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 12: a team that likes to pack it in when they

752
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 12: get back in the half court. I think they'll knock

753
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 12: down some shots. There's some value if you're on the Monarchs.

754
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 12: I love it at plus seven. I still like it

755
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 12: at plus six plus six and a half.

756
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 3: Yep, I completely agree here. I see value in old dominion.

757
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: I think that you're still catching UAV coming back down

758
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 3: to earth, even though they got swept last week. You know,

759
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll get a max secretary after that. But

760
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 3: old dominion, I think is a team trending up. I

761
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: know that in that game against Marshall that they won,

762
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: they were down by like twenty five or something in

763
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: the second half, some miraculous come back, but still they

764
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: did come back to win. They beat Charlotte in overtime.

765
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that there's value in this number

766
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: at plus seven, So don't disagree. All right, let's round

767
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: out the Friday Night six pack with Randall and Colin

768
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: to go. Randall what you got.

769
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 6: So picks are a Baysian process, right, So we learn

770
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 6: and we adjust. So last time I liked the team

771
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: this much was my good old Illinois Chicago, which ended

772
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 6: up having me sing because they got buried by Wright State.

773
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 6: What I should have done then is what I'm going

774
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 6: to do with the team I like this week, I

775
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 6: like Saint Louis going to Dayton. The Billikens' Twitter account

776
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 6: has embraced this as revenge week. They went at LaSalle,

777
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 6: they beat them handily by twenty one at home. Now

778
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 6: they go to Dayton to try to avenge the early

779
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 6: season loss. Now that loss at Dayton seventy six seventy

780
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 6: one was in January twenty six. They were coming off

781
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 6: a month long COVID break, so they were all out

782
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 6: of sorts at home lost that game. Now they go

783
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 6: to Dayton Dayton to a team that's reeling a little bit.

784
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 6: They have lost. The Flyers have lost so Manys now

785
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 6: that I'm starting to wonder if they were a little

786
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 6: bit of a paper tiger early on, they lost a

787
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 6: way of Ducane. They beat George Mason at home, then

788
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 6: they lose to VCU. Then they go double overtime against

789
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 6: Rhode Island little rusty for them. They've played a lot

790
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 6: of big games. And I believe, guys, when you have

791
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 6: a team that's sort of overvalue, which I believe Dayton is,

792
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 6: there's a law of efforts, meaning like how many times

793
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 6: can you continue to get up against teams that are

794
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 6: better than you? And Saint Louis certainly is that. I'm

795
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 6: gonna go with the under here. Saint Louis is ready

796
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 6: to roll Yuri Collins is questionable. He may play, but

797
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 6: Goodwin has certainly taken over in the backcourt there. They're

798
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 6: talking about him as point good because he's been fantastic

799
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 6: in the three games there with Collins out fifteen points,

800
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 6: twelve rebound, six assists and three steals. And the other

801
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 6: night he had the old quadruple Nickel seventeen points, eleven rebound,

802
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 6: six assists, and six steals. Right now, the line is

803
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 6: going up, it's at one thirty seven and a half.

804
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 6: I'm going to take it under there. I don't think

805
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 6: both teams reach seventy. I think Saint Louis is going

806
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 6: to lock him down. I think Dayton is going to

807
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 6: be in a rivalry game at home, is going to

808
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 6: have to try to slow this pace down as well.

809
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 6: The line opened at Saint Louis minus three and ballooned

810
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 6: right away to Saint Louis minus five and a half.

811
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 6: That's too many points for me to give here on

812
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 6: the road in conference, but I am going to take

813
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 6: the under on two defensive teams. Dayton at home is

814
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 6: going to slow things down. Saint Louis wants revenge. I

815
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 6: think they're going to lock them down as well, so

816
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 6: we're gonna go under one thirty seven and a half could.

817
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: Three point God for those not familiar with George Good,

818
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: who I think should be Player of the Year in

819
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 3: the A ten, although it's tough. I mean they Saint

820
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 3: Louis did have like a two month long break so

821
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: they didn't play as many games, so Bones Island is

822
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: deserved to be in that discussion as well. But go

823
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: We could go for like twenty and fifteen rebounds on

824
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: any given night as a guard and then six assystems,

825
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 3: six deals. Great player Colin close us out Hey.

826
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 8: This is producer Matt in a proud weekend six pack tradition.

827
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 8: The game Callen is about to preview has been canceled,

828
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 8: so disregard and it will be yet another five pack

829
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 8: this Friday.

830
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna go with Rice, Rice plus seven and

831
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: a half. That's Rice basketball. They are on the cusp

832
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 4: of not making the Conference USA tournament. So with the

833
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: CUSA Tournament, you have to realize that there are more

834
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: teams than there are spots. Only the top twelve spots

835
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 4: make it in with the strike sure that they have,

836
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 4: so some of the worst teams don't make it.

837
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 7: And Rice is right there. No one shoots more threes in.

838
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: Conference USA than the Owls, and they have the top

839
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 4: percentage from deep at thirty nine percent, and that number

840
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 4: is steady. When it comes to home games, which is

841
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: where this game is going to be. Rice shoots four

842
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: percent better from long disn it's a home and tutor

843
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: field house, and they do on the road, and they're

844
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 4: welcoming in Marshall. Now Marshall's going to be in the tournament,

845
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: but they are thirteenth. They're almost dead last in the

846
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 4: conference in defensive rebounding, which means al should have plenty

847
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 4: of second chance points, plenty of putbacks or even more

848
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 4: three point shots. It's a really good by low cell

849
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 4: high point. As Marshall's off three wins but I mean,

850
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 4: look at the competition. Middle Tennessee State is absolutely terrible.

851
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: Old Dominion was in there, while Rice is coming off

852
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 4: really a respectable two losses. Western Kentucky is king in

853
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 4: the conference, and you know, you go on the road

854
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 4: and lose to them. They covered the first game against them,

855
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 4: so Rice is playing pretty hard. They know the consequences

856
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: of losing this game. This is a huge setup coming

857
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 4: up for Right to try to make the conference tournament.

858
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 4: They can cover against Western Kentucky on the road, They

859
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 4: could certainly cover at home. I guess a Marshall team

860
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 4: that's going to allow them to shoot threes and can't

861
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 4: rebound the ball. So give me the desperate team on

862
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 4: a great bi low cell high point.

863
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: All right.

864
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 3: So there you have it. We have Rice, Frida Rice.

865
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that Renol didn't go with you, I c

866
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 3: and his boy Jockets, but he went with Dayton under

867
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: I went with Utah State Kylin with Detroit minus nine

868
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: against Robert Morris, Jim cow Baptist plus twelve versus Grand

869
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 3: Canyon and Matt Odu plus them versus UAB. I agree.

870
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: I can't wait till we get like some conference tournaments

871
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 3: and other teams. I'm getting sick of these Friday night

872
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 3: teams for the Friday night six times. All right, let's

873
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,479
Speaker 3: move on to talk some Saturday here before we bring

874
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: in Jordan, and we'll talk some circled spots.

875
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: So many games, so little time. Let's look at the

876
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: Saturday slate.

877
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 3: I'll start. I was really gonna like Oklahoma State against

878
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: Baylor off that chuck up, but bailor got postponed again.

879
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: I'll start with one I brought up a couple weeks ago,

880
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: Iowa State. I think they just match up well with Oklahoma.

881
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 3: Oklahoma's off that West Virginia win and Iowa State. Look,

882
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: they can shoot. You're playing a sagging Oklahoma perimeter defense

883
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: that can struggle in that department. We saw that in

884
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: Norman when Iowa State gave him a game. I think

885
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna get value with Iowa State again here. They

886
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 3: were coming off a bunch of blowout losses. They don't

887
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 3: match up well with Kansas, they don't match up well

888
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: with Oklahoma State. I think they'll fight here, trying to

889
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 3: get their first conference win. Oklahoma maybe a little fat

890
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: and happy after that West Virginia win, going here in

891
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 3: a potentially a sleepy spot named. So I have Iowa

892
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: State circled. Randall what you got?

893
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 6: So I understand everybody's going to jump on the Duke

894
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 6: train here, Okay, because no, Jalen Johnson and we really

895
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 6: righted the ship because we're fired up with two wins

896
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 6: against NC State and Wake Forest. But here comes Uva now,

897
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 6: and UVA is going to be all sorts of annoyed

898
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 6: after that blowout loss against Florida State. I know that

899
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 6: the betting public wants to jump back on Duke and

900
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 6: think the coach k figured things out, but they still

901
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 6: can be very streaky. I don't think they're going to

902
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 6: bang as many threes. I think Virginia is disciplined. They

903
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 6: always play them tough, even when Duke was at the

904
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 6: height of their powers. Uba is going to be a pick,

905
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 6: maybe a one point favorite here. I'm gonna go against Duke.

906
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 6: I think the Duke that we've seen for the majority

907
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 6: of the year is who they are. I don't think

908
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 6: they've turned a corner. I don't think Matthew Hurd, who's

909
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 6: stationary all of a sudden as a creative score, I'm

910
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 6: not buying it. I'll go with Virginia's defense. I'll go

911
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 6: with them on the road angry after Florida State, I'll

912
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 6: take Virginia either a pick or one point favorite.

913
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 3: I don't know. I may disagree with you, but I

914
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: have to dig into this game more. I'm actually going

915
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: to write it up. I had to eat crow with

916
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 3: Duke the last two games, and I faded them.

917
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 4: Spoken like a true leader, which is al Shayzewski says

918
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 4: he ever wanted to be.

919
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: That's what I was trained to do.

920
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 9: That's why I went to West Point to be a leader.

921
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 3: And I've been reading these these articles and Twitter in

922
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 3: some forms that say that Duke is better without Jalen Johnson,

923
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: which is hard to believe. But if you go back

924
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: to what they won the national championship, Rashid Suliman and

925
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: I think he like left after twenty games. They ended

926
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 3: up winning the national title. Look, they might be better

927
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 3: with Williams in there as far as knowing how to

928
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 3: defend the paint, but there was rumors that the chemistry

929
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: was off. I think they're better with him, not even

930
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 3: on the bench. He didn't really know his role. All

931
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 3: these other guys are playing hard. They just look like

932
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 3: they're playing harder, they're actually playing defense. It's a very

933
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 3: fascinating game and a fascinating topic. Like it's Duke a

934
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 3: lot better without Jalen Johnson. I don't know. This game

935
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 3: is huge for Duke and their tournament resume because they're

936
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: squarely on the bubble right now. I can see both

937
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: sides of this argument. You could be like, look, Duke,

938
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: who cares they won two games against net without Jalen Johnson.

939
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: But I could also see the argument that, look, and

940
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: I've adjusted them a lot just from the eye test

941
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 3: that without Jalen Johnson, something is clicking here. Count.

942
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 4: It's just like a universal thing no matter what sport

943
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: we bet whenever a star you know, player goes down,

944
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 4: you know usually it's injury and not COVID or opting

945
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 4: out or anything like that. That the team pulls together

946
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 4: and get you know, has a great performance and then

947
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 4: after that they're a little bit deflated. So we'll see

948
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 4: how that turns out for Duke. For me, I'm going

949
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 4: to buck a huge trend. We all know that if

950
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 4: you're playing at Minnesota, you're probably gonna lose, and when

951
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 4: Minnesota's playing on the road, they're going to lose because

952
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: they cannot win a road game at all, losing by

953
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 4: ten to Indiana, Number five Illinois heading in to play Minnesota,

954
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 4: ILLINOI always trying to get that one seed. They're trying

955
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 4: to do everything they can to get their best position

956
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 4: possible for their March Madness run. It should be about

957
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 4: Illini minus fourish. And they didn't dominate Northwestern in their

958
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 4: last game, and now they go into what is the

959
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 4: toughest place to play in the Big Ten, at Minnesota,

960
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 4: where the Gophers just played out of their mind. Their

961
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 4: only home loss came to Maryland and they haven't you know,

962
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 4: they haven't won a road game. They're great at home.

963
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go against it and I'm going to back Illinois.

964
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 4: Minnesota is the worst defensive rebounding team in the conference.

965
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: They're eleventh and defensive effective field goal percentage. Illinois with

966
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 4: Ao and conchrand that they are going to dominate the

967
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 4: paint down low and then on the flip side, Illinois's

968
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 4: perimeter defense is what gets them into trouble at times.

969
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 4: Minnesota can't expose that, at least in the stats that

970
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 4: you know, combine home and road. They can't expose that.

971
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 4: So if Minnesota just doesn't go completely ad from the

972
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 4: three point line. You know, they're the worst three point

973
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 4: shooting team in the conference. Illinois should get out here

974
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,959
Speaker 4: and I think they should cover it. So I'm gonna

975
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 4: buck this whole Minnesota home trend.

976
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's from a matchup perspective, it's I mean, look,

977
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: Minnesota is now down Calsher, who like was shooting so poorly.

978
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 3: But I was like, he's a regression county. He's gonna

979
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: start hitting shots. But now he's out. Liam Robbins is

980
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: hurt and I don't know what he's doing out there,

981
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 3: and he just they got he got abused covered in

982
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 3: their first match, they lost, I think by like twenty seven.

983
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 3: Just to play Devil's advocate Minnesota at home, there's some

984
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 3: magic in the barn this year. I mean they beat

985
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 3: I mean, they blow out Ohio State, they'd be they

986
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: blow up Michigan. They just play spectacular at home. But

987
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 3: they you know, they're not at full strength right now.

988
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: And then Illinois, who I love, they just are of late,

989
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: like they just are a little laxa days ago to

990
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 3: start games like they beat Indiana and overtime they came

991
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 3: back and beat Iowa. You know, they beat Nebraska and

992
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 3: overtime they beat Northwestern by like they I think that

993
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 3: they're just at this point where they know they are

994
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: and they're just they know that IO can close. So

995
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: do they come out a little flat here? I don't know.

996
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 3: They shouldn't. It's for a one seed, but from a

997
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: matchup perspective, I don't. I don't disagree with you, all right, Uh,

998
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 3: I'll go.

999
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 2: I'll go.

1000
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: Citadel next. VMI has been one of the best stories

1001
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 3: in college basketball. It's remarkable. Head coach Dan Earl is

1002
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 3: done and you know, they just beat UNC Greensboro. But

1003
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 3: this team is the team that's been really good at

1004
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: home and they still have a home presence at VMI

1005
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 3: and in Lexington, Virginia, they still have the the Cadets there.

1006
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 3: It's a tough place to play and they've been great

1007
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 3: at home. They are only one in nine, I believe

1008
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 3: on the road, and that one road wind came in overtime.

1009
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: This is a big, big time revenge spot for Citadel.

1010
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 3: And these two teams are just really similar. Dougger Balcom,

1011
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: the coach of Citadel, used to coach at vm I

1012
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: up until twenty fifteen, and they just play similar styles,

1013
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: although VMI is they're gonna they press a lot, they

1014
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: run a lot, a ton of junk zones. I don't

1015
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 3: think that's a great idea against the Citadel team, who's

1016
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: playing a little better defense, still an awful defense. Either

1017
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 3: one of these teams plays a great defense. But Tode'll

1018
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 3: put up one hundred and three in the first meeting.

1019
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 3: They also one hundred and nine to one hundred and

1020
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: three at VMI. These teams just chuck threes. You know,

1021
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: they don't force any turnover. I mean you just actually, yeah,

1022
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: go to kenpund dot com and cook to either one

1023
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 3: of these to put them. These teams are identical. But

1024
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get Citta dol on a good

1025
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 3: spot here. They've lost I think three or four straight

1026
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: to vm I. They lost earlier this season. Vm I

1027
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: off a big win. You get Citadel at home. Yeah,

1028
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 3: I think that we can. We're maybe going to get

1029
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: three here, which would be nice and I would love that.

1030
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 3: The first game that they played, when vm I went

1031
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 3: crazy and scored one hundred and nine points. Look, they

1032
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 3: both shot really well from three, but vmi's Jake Stevens

1033
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: went for thirty three points, just dominated down low, but

1034
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 3: there was a lot of hustle plays. The crowd played

1035
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: a factor. They just I think that you'll get a

1036
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: much better effort from Citadel here. So I think there's

1037
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 3: gonna be value in the home small home dog. Hopefully

1038
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 3: we can get three plus who I think pulls off

1039
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: the win. Brando what he got next and.

1040
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 6: De Bo's is back for wake Forest. He was top

1041
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 6: score last year. He's thirty points per game. He's been

1042
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 6: back for wake Forest for five games. Now they're gonna

1043
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 6: host NC State. NC State turns the ball over more

1044
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 6: than anyone else in the ACC. Their offensive turnover rate

1045
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 6: is the worst among all of those teams. NC State

1046
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 6: is trying to catch up here with some games and

1047
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 6: they're gonna end up playing in eleven days. They have

1048
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 6: Syracuse at home, they play Duke at home. They just

1049
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 6: went to Pittsburgh and won. Now they're going on the

1050
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 6: road again to wake forres. Wake Forest played them very well.

1051
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 6: The game was five points there back on January twenty seventh,

1052
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 6: kept him close. Now they're going home Forbes has wake

1053
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 6: Forest playing very very well. They got blown out against Duke.

1054
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 6: I understand that, but that was a situational spot in

1055
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 6: my mind.

1056
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 3: Du Bose is back.

1057
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 6: This team's gonna be better. David Williamson's been excellent, came

1058
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 6: over from East Tennessee State with Forbes. They're gonna be

1059
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 6: a slight underdog at home. NC State still trying to

1060
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 6: adapt here without Devin Daniels. Helms has played very well,

1061
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 6: but Thunderberg turns it over inside. They do have those

1062
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 6: turnover problems, which is issue, and they don't make their

1063
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 6: free throws. So I'm going to take wake far As

1064
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 6: as a slight underdog whatever it is. A point two

1065
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 6: I get too. I'll be thrilled at home here to

1066
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 6: win outright against North Carolina State.

1067
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 3: Don't hate it. What do you got to call?

1068
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, the SEC just completely got turned upside down between

1069
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 4: you know, storms in the area and everything else.

1070
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 2: We had.

1071
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 4: Some games get shifted and now Auburn gets to travel

1072
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 4: to LSU reschedule after all the weather we've had here

1073
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 4: in the territory. Sharif Cooper has not had a twenty

1074
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 4: point game since January twenty sixth, and his performances offensive

1075
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 4: raiding continues to decline, and you got to wonder if

1076
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 4: opposing defenses have kind of figured out how to defend Auburn,

1077
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 4: especially at the beginning of the game, and the Tires

1078
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 4: have lost more of their last five. There's no SEC

1079
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 4: Tournament for this Auburn team. There's no postseason for this

1080
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 4: Auburn team.

1081
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 3: Period.

1082
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 4: You would expect this team to either ride fast and

1083
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 4: hard to the end of the regular season or crash

1084
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 4: and burn because that's it, regular season and done.

1085
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 2: And I don't really believe.

1086
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 4: I don't know Shreef Cooper's NBA prospects, but I can't

1087
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: imagine around so I like LSU here at home, they

1088
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 4: are playing for their lives, to get that double by,

1089
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 4: to keep up with Arkansas and for the SEC Tournament

1090
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 4: double by, and to stay on the opposite side.

1091
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 7: Of the bracket from Alabama. Auburn here, you know, lost

1092
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 7: for their last five.

1093
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure where their head is or how

1094
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 4: they're going to finish the season considera in fact, they're

1095
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 4: not even going to play in the SEC Tournament.

1096
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 3: Don't hate it at all either. I'll bring up I

1097
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 3: think Charlotte if they lose game one Game two on

1098
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 3: Saturday is when I had circle. But I'll close things

1099
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 3: out to three each Miss State. I think that there's

1100
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 3: a chance that we get some value here on Mississippi

1101
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 3: State at Ole Miss in Oxford. They if you look

1102
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 3: at just the final score, they lost by eighteen at

1103
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: home earlier this year twelve mess. But the game was

1104
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 3: pretty cool. I think it was like a three point game.

1105
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 3: With ten minutes ago, Old Miss pulled away. I think

1106
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 3: that Dississippi State team is just I mean, they're they're

1107
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 3: heading south and there's really nothing to play for. They're

1108
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 3: not going to the NCAA tournament. Their last two I mean,

1109
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 3: they're coming off a blow at home lost LSU and

1110
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 3: a blowout home loss to Vanderbilt. If there's any one

1111
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 3: game left where they're gonna get up before the conference tournament,

1112
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 3: it's this game against their arrival with a chance to

1113
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 3: potentially help ruin their resume and keep them out of

1114
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 3: the tournament, a team that blew them out earlier in

1115
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 3: the year. And then you're catching an Old Miss team.

1116
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you're selling them as high as possible. After

1117
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 3: four straight wins, including wins against Tennessee Missouri. They just

1118
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: they easily won against South Carolina. But keep in mind

1119
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: in that South Carolina game, uh, you know you had

1120
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 3: Kuzamar go out after eight minutes, so they had a

1121
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 3: little bit of a fort of good Fortuner. Can we

1122
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 3: get seven plus that'd be lovely. I think this is

1123
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 3: a spot where Mississippi State gives their max efforts, a

1124
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 3: classic bilos Sell high spot. I think you get solid

1125
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 3: all games from both Stuart and Molinar. So I'll be

1126
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 3: looking at cow Bell on the road, Randall, what's your

1127
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 3: final thick?

1128
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 6: Last spot for me is on Sunday? What were you

1129
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 6: guys doing on Sunday January twenty fourth, because that's the

1130
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 6: last time Davidson played. Now they have to go up

1131
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 6: and travel against Saint Bonaventure. Don't worry, guys, they have

1132
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 6: a tune up tonight on Friday against Southern Virginia. If

1133
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 6: you're playing a directional school in Virginia and it's not

1134
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 6: West Virginia, forget it. They're going to go up to

1135
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 6: Saint Bonaventure. They haven't played for a month now. Listen.

1136
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 6: Saint Bonnie's weakness is that they don't have depth. I

1137
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 6: understand that, but I don't think Davidson is going to

1138
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 6: go in there and draw a lot of fouls. I

1139
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 6: think they're going to be rusty. Bonaventure is going to

1140
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 6: be home. They haven't lost at home all year. Davidson's

1141
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 6: going to be very, very rusty coming into this game.

1142
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 6: This is a bad spot. Saint Bonaventure needs this win.

1143
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 6: They lost at Saint Louis that was a rough one.

1144
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 6: They lost at VCU that was a battle. Now they've

1145
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 6: got to win this. Here comes Davidson. Ken Palm has

1146
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 6: it at four, probably will open around five or six.

1147
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 6: I think the Bonnies here at home against a David's

1148
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 6: team that has not played in a long time, and

1149
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 6: I'm not counting Friday night, is going to struggle up

1150
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 6: here in St.

1151
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 3: Bonaventure, New York. All right, Colm, let's close us up

1152
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: here to look at Saturday. By Look, you haven't mentioned

1153
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 3: Arkansas basketball podcast, So give us an idea of what

1154
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 3: we can expect in Arkansas at Texas A and M

1155
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 3: on Saturday.

1156
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: Woo Pig Suey Colin's talking razorback basketball.

1157
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're basically looking at the hottest team

1158
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 4: in the SEC right now versus the worst team in

1159
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 4: the SEC. Ken Palm predicts this game to be an

1160
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 4: eight point win by Arkansas. And really, what has made

1161
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 4: the Hog so good is.

1162
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: The role players. Justin Smith returned from injury. He's been

1163
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind.

1164
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 4: DeVante Davis didn't get much playing time up until conference play.

1165
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 2: Jalen Tate, I think the thing.

1166
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 4: That's important for everybody to realize why is Arkansas winning

1167
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 4: and why are all of a sudden they covering all

1168
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 4: of these games. Had a story come out today about

1169
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 4: this when he was the coach of the Venezuelan national

1170
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 4: team that he essentially kept his team on the court

1171
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 4: all night until they finished a free throw drill. And

1172
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 4: so now the Razorback players are saying, yes, coach has

1173
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 4: kept us here three four hours after practice until we've

1174
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 4: been doing this rotation free throw drill. And if you

1175
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 4: look at Tate and you look at Vanover and you

1176
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 4: look at Davis, they're the ones that have been icing

1177
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 4: these free throws late in the game to get this

1178
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 4: home for the Hogs. This is a different Hogs team

1179
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 4: than we had a few weeks ago when they were

1180
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 4: ice cold. You know, they're going up against some Texas

1181
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 4: A and M offense is dead last, an offensive efficiency

1182
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 4: dead last, and three point percentage. They're just not gonna

1183
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 4: be able to get it done against Arkansas. You know,

1184
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 4: the Razorbacks are cruising right now, but let's not get

1185
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 4: too happy here. Ken Palm makes an eight, I probably

1186
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 4: get it up to about nine to nine and a

1187
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 4: half double digits, maybe a little bit too rich.

1188
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 3: It is a terrible spot like they've been rolling. They've

1189
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 3: beat Florida, the guess who comes in to town next Alabama,

1190
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 3: and let's all full situational spot.

1191
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 4: And let me mention that real quick too, because the

1192
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: big pull around Arkansas was to get one of the

1193
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 4: double buys. A week ago, it was a question whether

1194
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 4: they would get a double bye in the SEC tournament,

1195
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 4: and now at nine and FOURIGN Conference, they've locked that up.

1196
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 4: I mean they're they're the flat out two seed right now.

1197
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 4: It would be almost impossible for them with the remaining

1198
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 4: schedule to fall down to the five seed. So what

1199
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 4: that means is is they've now positioned themselves to have

1200
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 4: a double buy and be on the other side of

1201
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 4: the bracket despite if they lose to Alabama. I'm not

1202
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 4: saying the rest of the regular season is meaningless, but

1203
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 4: really when it comes to seeding SEC Tournament, they've cemented

1204
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 4: their spot by beating Florida, Missouri, Kentucky all in a row.

1205
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying they're going to fall off the map,

1206
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 4: but I'm saying they've pretty much done the work to

1207
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 4: get them in their own spot. They're not, you know,

1208
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 4: they I'm not sure they're going to get content. You know,

1209
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 4: I think musclemen wouldn't allow them to get content with

1210
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: their spot. But you're right, Alabama is a look ahead spot,

1211
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 4: so be careful with this line.

1212
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: I think double digits be too much.

1213
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: All Right, there you have it a look at Saturday,

1214
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: it's time to catch up with friend of the pod.

1215
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: You know him on Twitter at George Cubs Dan Jordan Macjuski,

1216
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 3: my favorite college basketball follow and who I rely on

1217
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 3: sometimes to text on who is going to be out

1218
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 3: or in for say USC Upstate or someone random. There's

1219
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: no one that I know that knows more what's going on. Jordan.

1220
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us.

1221
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for having me.

1222
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: Okay, so we have a quick exercise that we're going

1223
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 3: to go through three underrated mid majors. I told you

1224
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 3: just I don't know who you're gonna pick have to

1225
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 3: be rated sixty fifth or worse on Kim pob We'll

1226
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 3: get to that in a second. But I do want

1227
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 3: to ask you a few weeks back, I texted you,

1228
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 3: if you could take five teams, you're gonna take a

1229
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 3: pack of five teams that could potentially you think of

1230
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 3: the best chance to beat both Baylor.

1231
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 2: And get Zaga.

1232
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 3: Have you changed your mind on who those five teams

1233
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: would be.

1234
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 9: I think Michigan or to State are locks in my

1235
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 9: top five still, and the rest are kind of up

1236
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 9: for grabs. I would actually be willing to slide Loyola

1237
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 9: in there. Yeah, I think they present a lot of

1238
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 9: matchup problems for anyone, just their you know, unique ability

1239
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 9: to run all offense out of the high posts there

1240
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 9: through Crutwig. You know, the offense obviously has some some

1241
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 9: issues at times, but I think there they are legitimately

1242
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 9: as good as anybody in that kind of tier tier three.

1243
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 9: I would put Michigan and Florida State in my tier

1244
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 9: two behind Gonzaga and Baylor.

1245
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 3: You said battle without hesitation before. Are you a little

1246
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 3: less high on them?

1247
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 9: I am. I think there's just, you know, so much

1248
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 9: variance involved there. But they are you know, they don't

1249
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 9: have to hit you know, sixteen threes a game to win. Obviously,

1250
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 9: they're talented top to bottom, and they're not even healthy

1251
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 9: yet you know. So that's the kind of scary part

1252
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 9: is Brwner can get back and be a contributor and

1253
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 9: you know, in legitimate game shape come come March. Then Yeah,

1254
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 9: I think they are. I would put them in the

1255
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 9: same Florida Florida State Michigan tier as well.

1256
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like I go back and forth with

1257
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 3: like what would be the formula, and I think because

1258
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: Gonzaga and Baylor are so much better, I look for

1259
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 3: teams that are high variant style, shoot a lot of threes,

1260
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 3: but maybe just no one is really going to outscore them.

1261
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 3: And Loyola who prevents matchup problems and just grind the

1262
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 3: game down, limit the number of possessions. Who knows? All right,

1263
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 3: But why I brought you here? I asked you a

1264
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: simple question. I'll let you run with it. Give me

1265
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 3: and I'll actually try to guess which three you're going

1266
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 3: to pick. But I said, give me three mid majors

1267
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 3: that you think are the most underrated in the country

1268
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 3: right now that could win a game or two come

1269
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 3: tournament time. I'm going to guess that you are going

1270
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 3: to go with Santa Barbara Firm and Abilene Christen. Knowing you,

1271
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 3: but take it away, what do you got?

1272
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 9: So you totally nailed the first two. ACU would be

1273
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 9: on that list. I think they're probably a lot for

1274
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 9: a fifteen or sixteen seed, so I kind of avoided

1275
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 9: someone who's going to be on you know, that line.

1276
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 9: But UCSB is my number one. You nailed that right away,

1277
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 9: just top to bottom. They're a solid team. They have

1278
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 9: you know, they kind of check off every box that

1279
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 9: you're looking for with one of these mid majors that

1280
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 9: could pull off an upset. Uh see. You know, senior

1281
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 9: point guard McLoughlin is big, controls the game, does absolutely

1282
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 9: everything well. They can shoot, they can score inside with

1283
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 9: amadus so, they have athleticism, They defend really well. A

1284
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 9: veteran team, you know, I just think they're just not

1285
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 9: being talked about because you know, they aren't on TV. Basically,

1286
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 9: they haven't been on TV the entire season.

1287
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I wrote actually a piece today

1288
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 3: on them and said that they're one of the most

1289
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 3: underrated teams in the country and the only problem and look,

1290
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 3: there's some other good teams in the Big West that

1291
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 3: could make noise in that tournament. Riverside and even Bakersfield

1292
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 3: but is can they get by Irvine, who they don't

1293
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 3: necessarily match up that well with, but if they do, yeah,

1294
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 3: they're scary of the tournament.

1295
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 9: Yeah right. Obviously the Irvine situation is not great considering

1296
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 9: they were swept by them already, but that was earlier

1297
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 9: in the year, you know, kind of around Christmas if

1298
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 9: I recall correctly, or right after Christmas. That is a concern,

1299
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 9: and it would also concern you when they play against

1300
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 9: the team Irvine's huge, and when they would play in

1301
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 9: the tournament against the team with talent and size. But yeah, Furman,

1302
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 9: you guessed correctly as well. Senior point guard just spread

1303
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 9: the floor with shooters all over shooters with size as well,

1304
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 9: size and experience. They are kind of the complete package

1305
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 9: as well. You know, there's some concerning losses in conference,

1306
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 9: but the Sokonda really competitive. You know, they're like just

1307
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 9: the tier below the kind of you know, West Coast

1308
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,919
Speaker 9: Conference and stuff like that. Just a very competitive mid

1309
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 9: major conference. So I would yeah, look out for a

1310
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 9: firm in there just with their ability to spread the floor,

1311
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 9: get some high major bigs and trouble and guardian space

1312
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 9: on the perimeter.

1313
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 3: Okay, and a third which I didn't guess I'm curious.

1314
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 9: So the third is up in the air. You know,

1315
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 9: you want to say Belmont, but I have some concerns

1316
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 9: about them against like athleticism, especially their guards versus bigger

1317
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,959
Speaker 9: athletic guards. Colegate, you know, is a team two years

1318
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 9: ago who nearly knocked off Tennessee and still has Jordan Burns,

1319
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 9: but they really lack a lot of height and athleticism.

1320
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 9: So I'm going to slide in this is kind of

1321
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 9: cheating the women of CUSA, assuming it's one of North Texas,

1322
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 9: Western Kentucky u A B or Louisiana Tech. I kind

1323
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 9: of view them all on the same line, and I

1324
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 9: think all capable of winning a game for similar reasons.

1325
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 9: Western Kentucky, you know, has a NBA talent, and Bassie

1326
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 9: UA B can play a really confusing style for someone

1327
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 9: who's not prepared. They kind of remind me of MTSU

1328
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 9: a few years ago with their ability to mix up,

1329
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 9: you know, like a trapping press and a different several

1330
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 9: different zones. Louisiana Tech has a ton of athleticism, and

1331
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 9: North Texas is really well coached, well prepared, and solid

1332
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 9: top to bottom, So I know it's cheating because that's

1333
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 9: what fourteens I just rattled off. But I think they're

1334
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 9: all kind of, you know, similar in they're all from

1335
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 9: the same conference. So I'm going to try to sneak

1336
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 9: that in well.

1337
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 3: If a lot of tech, it's that everyone can watch.

1338
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 3: My favorite player in the country in Kenneth Lofton junior

1339
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 3: or a freshman who is like six seven, like three

1340
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: hundred pounds, but he plays like like a guard in

1341
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 3: the post. His great vision, he's like, yeah on his feet.

1342
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 3: I love watching him play. Yeah, but you don't put

1343
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 3: marsh You don't put Marshall up there with their unique

1344
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 3: style and their guards and ability to score.

1345
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 9: Uh No, I don't, you know. And it's funny because

1346
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 9: I want to knock their defense, but they're actually playing

1347
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 9: like the best defense they've ever played under Dan Tony.

1348
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 9: I guess Marshall could be could be in there, you know.

1349
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 9: I was just really I guess, still bitter about the

1350
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 9: Old Dominion game a couple fridays ago.

1351
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 3: I can't believe that.

1352
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess Marshall could be on that line. But

1353
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 9: I those the other four I think are a little

1354
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 9: bit of a UAB maybe a shade below the other

1355
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 9: three I have concerns about their offense.

1356
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. Same, Yeah, I can't wait for the actually for

1357
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 3: both of the all three of the conference orders, the

1358
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 3: Conference USA, Big West, I mean, every Southern. I mean,

1359
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 3: there's so many great conference tournaments that I'm excited for.

1360
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: I appreciate you joining us. Make sure you check them

1361
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 3: out at tor comes down. I'm gott ask one final

1362
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,439
Speaker 3: question that I've asked a few of our guests right now.

1363
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 3: You have to take one for a million dollars Baylor

1364
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 3: orgon Zaga for the national title. Who you taking Baylor?

1365
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 3: Any reason why or you just think they're a tad better,

1366
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 3: A tad better.

1367
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 9: I think their defense overall is a little better. I

1368
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 9: think they can maybe throw a few things defensively out

1369
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 9: that Gonzaga can't do.

1370
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 3: I have to give a lot of credit to what

1371
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 3: the much Maligne in the past Scotcher has been able

1372
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 3: to do at Baylor. I'm curious maybe he pulls out

1373
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 3: his zone again. I don't even run zone anymore in

1374
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 3: the tournament, which is one of the reasons why they're

1375
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 3: able to make some runs in the past with much

1376
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 3: less talented teams. All right, good stuff, as always if

1377
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 3: you love college basketball, content. Follow Jordan, thanks for joining us,

1378
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 3: and I'll let you get back to your hoops.

1379
