00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: Jim Kai, We're going to go in I guess alphabetical

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: order of these leagues, many of which contains some Carolina

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: based programs, like we start in the Big South, where

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: the Bojangles Bonans is no longer one of my favorite venues.

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: They've now moved it to high Points, Yes, where the

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: darling of this year's conference will play. And when you

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: invest a bajillion dollars into a brand new facility, turns

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: out to the victor, to the spender, go the spoils.

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: I suppose, So a cool venue here, but obviously a

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: huge home court advantge for number one seed High Point

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: under first year coach Alan huss other storylines unc Asheville

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: in this league as well. Drew Pember the Ponytail Assassin.

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: Now I guess he's going with kind of the just

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: the general hairdown now this year. I forget how he's

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: adapted that, but an absolute stud His unc Ashville Bulldogs

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: are back in business and Jim and Tonum just good

47
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: dark horse teams. Like it's one of the colleges where

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: I feel like we're looking to take a flyer. This

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: feels like it, even though it is going to be

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: playing on a high points home court.

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I at first of all, I love that

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: the venue. I know it was going to be at

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: a high point regardless, but it's cool that they actually

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: did win the league the year that they're moving the

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: tournament to there is going to be there regardless. And yeah,

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: the Panther's been to a real underdog story, not picked

57
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: that highly in the preseason, but Alan Husty, create an assistant,

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: has done an awesome job there. They get a lot

59
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: of easy baskets, a lot of free throws. Probably helps

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: to be at home a little bit there, considering you're

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna need a friendly whistle to get all those calls

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: and get to the line. But Kai, I'm kind of

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: looking at mister Pember squad, the Ashville, the ash Villains

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: for those of us that love the fun basketball of

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: High Point. Four or five starters back from the team

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: that won this event last year. They've got two lights

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: out shooters on the wing, Josh Banks Fletcher Aby. Really

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: tough to double off them because Pember can light you up.

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: And then a terrific passing point guard Caleb Burgess, a

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: couple of bigs they've been alternating in the starting lineup.

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Ashville just kind of appeals to me here. They played

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: High Point to a draw this season, one by five

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: at home, lost by five on the road. Right there

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: in that road game, I think given the odds gap,

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at futures here, a high Point like

76
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: an odds on favorite to win, I think that's crazy.

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be that far ahead of

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: the field. On Ashville plus two to fifty, that's a

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: lot closer to a coin foot for me, Kai, I

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: am looking at Ashville as a best bet both early

81
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: probably in the tournament and in the futures market.

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: Yes, very much agree on Ashville GYM plus two to fifty.

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: I like that a lot better than a high Points price.

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: I agree, the gap is just not that big. Obviously,

85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: high Point is in its home gym. They're fifteen to

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: one straight up this year at home. However, tournament setting,

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit different, bit different juice. Right,

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: these teams are going to play there a couple times

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: before they actually play a high Point.

90
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: No travel here.

91
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: High Point just seven and seven against the spread at

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: home this season. So interesting, they're not dominating competition here. Yeah.

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: I kind of agree with Matt though too. It's not

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: crazy to take a flyer at some of these prices. Longwood,

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: for instance, is a lot better than their standing suggest

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: in the Big South.

97
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: They're twelve to one right now.

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: They've underachieved, they're really well coached, and they have the

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: ability to win this count's title. They have won it

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: before in the past as well. Radford wouldn't be impossible

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: at fifty to one, but them having to play an

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: extra day hurts them. Probably stay away from that. So

103
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Ashville and if you want a long shot,

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: idlean towards Longwood.

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradford being ninety, it's crazy for talented Now. I

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: just wanted to answer Kai mentioned the home record for

107
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: high Point fifteen to one. Their lone home loss it

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: was to USC Upstate, who is lurking potentially in that

109
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: corner final game, but they would have to beat Radford

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: where it'll probably be an underdog I would imagine against

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Radford in that game. But if up Stick it's through,

112
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: maybe high Point has a little bit of the demons

113
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: coming back to haunt them from their loan loss in

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: this building this season.

115
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Upstay was crazy hot last year this time. Remember

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: they beat Gardner Webb on the bank from Jordan Ganney.

117
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: Now at Tennesseeank their winners of six of seven entering

118
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: conference tournament playing and they almost beat Ashville in the

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: second round. Just a final angle gym all not sort

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: of counter but maybe play Devil's advocates here. You didn't

121
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: see Asheville a round one to seven. Charleston Southern playing

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: under new interim slash full time. Now the interim tag's

123
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: been removed for the head coach saw nimbly there taking

124
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: over from Barclay rottet Ball. I think we've seen that

125
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: little interim to full time coach bump have some meaning,

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: maybe kind of a late season serge. So look out

127
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: for my Bucks, who actually got smacked last season by

128
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: unc Ashville, So who knows Pember could have forty in

129
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: that game?

130
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Any ja, Yeah, the early first round before we move on.

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you're gonna pivot there, but I

132
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of like to see who is hot in each

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: league coming into the tournament and if you go by

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm field during Bart Torbick since February first, to just

135
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: try to get a sort of general idea for it.

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: Clear one two still high point than U and c Ashville,

137
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: both top one twenty five teams. But number three at

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: one seventy fifth is Presbyterian surprising the season that high

139
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: up there? I know we like Garna Webb, really well

140
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: coached team that's had some success in this event in

141
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: the past, but Presbyterian has been battling so potentially as

142
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: a dog there on a neutral four that six seed

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: game on the late night, late night game on Friday,

144
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: Opening day quarterfinals. Kay, I think I like the Blue

145
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Hose to compete against the run Bulldogs.

146
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: I love my running Bulldogs, Jim. I can't go against

147
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: them here, but it's not a bad it's not a

148
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: bad look. Certainly against spread would be considering the blue

149
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: hose there.

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: Yes, Jim, I loved it, But Marcus Barnett is any

151
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: out for a little while the best player did not

152
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: play last game injury notes to keep an eye on.

153
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: For the valid valid point there, Matthew.

154
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: I had that written down too, So I want to

155
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: get real nitty gritty man. This is a crapshoot. I

156
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: feel like the a Sun and the Big South or two.

157
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: I just have no interest in betting any side whatsoever

158
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: if I'm looking to get involved in a futures market here. Yeah,

159
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, to Kay's point, like looking at Radford for

160
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: bet MGM at fifty to one, I just don't think

161
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: that's a great price personally high point at minus one ten. No,

162
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: thank you, too many good teams here. I think this

163
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: is a very easy pass on the few features market here.

164
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Sorry to be a lame, a lame wet blanket to

165
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: start off our podcast.

166
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm not Matt, You're a wet blanket loser. I'm taking

167
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Ashville plus two to fifty. I am locking it in

168
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: me and the Bulldogs potentially a repeat performance from last year.

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Gotta win three games. Kai nothing for you on the

170
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: futures board.

171
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: I like Ashville plus two to fifty as well. Not

172
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: going to lock it officially here Matt again, long shot

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: long wood for me. Nice well played.

174
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: We continue Conference number two. The Coastal Athletic the Artist

175
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: formerly known as the Colonial, hosted at the same place

176
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: it's been since twenty twenty. I feel like it's one

177
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: of the most nondescript venues the entertainment and sports arena

178
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: up at our nation's capital. It's been there for the

179
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: last four years. Feel like that no one ever talks

180
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: about it, just sort of a oh yeah, it's in

181
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: DC again, and I always forget it means nothing, I

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: don't think to this field. But the format a little

183
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: bit different. I believe this season with the fourteen team

184
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: set up here, top four seeds get the auto buy

185
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: to the quarters. They'll play on Sunday, College of Charleston, Hofstra, Drexel,

186
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: UNC Wilmington, and you have the play in bottom four

187
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: NCAAT Woman Marry and then Elon Hampton and some solid

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: teams I think in that mid tier the eight, sorry,

189
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: the five through ten towsand Delaware, Stonybrook, Momouth, Campbell in Northeastern,

190
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: all of those teams I think have a real potential

191
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: to knock off one of the top four seeds and

192
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: play on Monday. Kai. I just don't know if they

193
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: can actually go all the way to the ship on Tuesday,

194
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: So I guess zoom out here. Before we get into

195
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: the specific matchups, I am gonna look at probably an upset

196
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: or two to go coming out of that Saturday bunching.

197
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: But what's your initial thoughts You look at the bracket.

198
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: Historically, at least last eight years, this has usually been

199
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: a pretty crazy tournament. The one seed is won like

200
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: not that much, and then these teams aren't separated by

201
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: much in terms of analytics and the predictive ratings. I

202
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: think a top four team likely wins because of this

203
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: tournament set up, the double bias Kiev those four teams,

204
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: and they have been the best teams in the league.

205
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: I think they have separated themselves a bit from the rest.

206
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: Wilmington is probably my horse here. They swept Charleston this year,

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: good start. They have wins over Drexel and Tausen, and

208
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: the team they haven't beaten Aufstra, who I think is

209
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: very dangerous as well as on the other side of

210
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: the bracket. Their offense is really good. Wilmington their defense

211
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: analytically efficiency wise, not great in conference play, but I

212
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: think more skewed because of poor three point luck. I

213
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: think that can get better in a tournament setting. Charleston

214
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: clearly the hottest team, but Jim, don't sleep on Campbell

215
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: or Mom that they're live in the second round against Charleston.

216
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Charleston kind of ended up with a

217
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: tough path here despite being the one seed. You think, oh,

218
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: we're avoiding the five seed winning the six like that

219
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: eight nine game is there's no slots. There's a very

220
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: real chance at Xander Rice would be the best player

221
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: on the floor against Charleston despite being on eight seed Monmouth.

222
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: And then Campbell has been super fissy lately. They beat

223
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: UNC Wilmington just in the final regular season week. So yeah,

224
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't love the path for Charleston. I don't love

225
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: the price for them. I think the two teams you highlighted,

226
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: Ky are the ones I'm looking at, Astra and UNC Wilmington.

227
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned the sweep of Charleston for the Seahawks at

228
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: the top of the bracket potentially sets up well for them,

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: and that I'm just on the pride now. I know

230
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: that they did not get it done in the final

231
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: game of the regular season, but they had covered five

232
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: straight before that. They're playing well since over the last month.

233
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: They were eight and two in a top one hundred

234
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: team for bart Torbick, just behind Charleston a couple spots.

235
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I think that tells you how well that team is playing.

236
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I like that they're on the bottom half of the bracket,

237
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: away from Charleston, away from UNC Wilmington, that would be

238
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: my horse match. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself already

239
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: talking to my futures picking this one, but I just

240
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: like the way hawsers playing. I think they got scores,

241
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: big time scorers. I can get buckets one on one

242
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: in this kind of an environment and speed. Claxton your boy,

243
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: fantastic coach there for Hostra. So that's where I'm kind

244
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: of eyeing up in this bracket.

245
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: You might argue, In fact, I will argue that the

246
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: four and the three seed got the better potential draw

247
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: in their opener than both the one and the two seed,

248
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: just with the potential matchup you guys talked about mom

249
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: with Cambel both very dangerous looming against Charleston Towston. I'd

250
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: probably take for granted, and I think everyone's probably under

251
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: or overlook them this season. They dominate the glass. But

252
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 2: I just think that team is the least scary of

253
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: those teams. Lurking in the five through ten Saturday slot

254
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: there so you can see the Winston. To Kay's point,

255
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: you can knock off tousand, don't get on on the glass,

256
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: and you play a team in Charleston you've already beat

257
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: twice this season on a neutral court. You've already beaten

258
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: at their place too. I kind of like the Seahawks.

259
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm with Kay. The defense does bother me. Sidtles been

260
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: really bummed about how poorly they defended up front. They

261
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: don't have many good physical biit guys very perimeter oriented,

262
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: but that can play well in a tournament setting. Just

263
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 2: a quick spotlight on the bottom half of them. We've

264
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: kind of breached over. But Drexelt the two Stony Brook

265
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: in Northeastern, they're dangerous seven to ten match mckenn of

266
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 2: the eight nine above. So ey brecks really hot. But

267
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: g know four team got healthy about halfway through the year.

268
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: They got some real talent in Northeastern with Lucas Sakota

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: if he does return, also dangerous Bill Cohen finally has

270
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: some talent. We saw them almost Pete Virginia this season.

271
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: Very long six five sixty six, interchangeable type of defensive

272
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: fortress that can potentially impose a problem to the to

273
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: the dragons. And yeah, the Pride could see either Delaware

274
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: or Elon slash Hampton, although I think Elon Hampter vote

275
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: Toast unless Elon maybe some Billy Taylor magic zone shoot

276
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: the crap out of the now. I'm not buying either.

277
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: Hi futures best bet on the board Charleston at plus

278
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: two hundred two plus two ten. Excuse me the updated

279
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: odd for bet MGM. What are you looking at? Hear

280
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: below that?

281
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd go to Wilmington or Hofstra plus three twenty

282
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: five at pet MGM right now. Again, I would avoid

283
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: the top four, or excuse me, the anybody outside of

284
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 3: the top four. I think Wilmington and Hofster are probably

285
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: the best bets here, but pick your poison. I think

286
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: all these are pretty solid prices if you like one

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 3: horse over the other man.

288
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: I forgot to at the beginning give credit the regular

289
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: residents of the entertainment in Sports Arena. Do you know

290
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: who they are?

291
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: Is the Capitals of the Caps play.

292
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: No oh no, I think they're at the Georgetown venue

293
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: or wherever the Wizard's play. This is the Mystics and

294
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: the Capital City Go Go, the G League affiliate of

295
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: the formerly Wizards or formerly Bullets. Yeah, no, I'm with Kai.

296
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: I think somebody in the top four wins it. And

297
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: given the matchup edge that Willington I think has against

298
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Charleston and the way that Hofster's playing individual talent, that's

299
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: where I look. One other small thing to mention, this

300
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: is a very slow league overall, thirtieth and tempo out

301
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: of thirty two. I think during the year Charleston has

302
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: had a bit of an edge, being like the fast

303
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: team that bombs Three's has been a little bit of

304
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: whiplash stylistically for other people. I expect this to slow

305
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: down the much more of a grinder. It's the postseason.

306
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Teams kind of value possessions differently. I don't know if

307
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: that's such an edge anymore. Being able to play that

308
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: zippity Dodo style. I think teams are going to get

309
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: them into the mud a little bit, and that hurts Charleston.

310
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: They're not as good there. They do have great depth

311
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Charleston does, but again with it slowing down that I'm

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: going with the teams that I think can really get

313
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: buckets in the half court, and that would be Hofster

314
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: or Willington my choice. Hopstra.

315
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah they did last year in the title game against

316
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: UNC Wilington, but it was, you know, not an easy

317
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: five point win, sixty four possession and last year's team,

318
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: I think we agree, is just better than this year's team.

319
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: As hot as this year's team's playing right now, I

320
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: think pound for pound, you take that the team that

321
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: lost to Santo State in the opening round. I kind

322
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: of like Northeastern. I'm going to toss it in there

323
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: for a best bet for me. Eight to one decent draw,

324
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: becas you avoid the top part of the bracket, like

325
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: I still think, like I said that, the bottom part

326
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: with Drexel and Hofstra scare me less than Charleston Wilmington

327
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: at the top, I think it can beat Sonybrook and

328
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: get past the Dragons they just saw eight to one. Sure,

329
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: I just I think Kai is the better play with

330
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: Wilmington at three plus three twenty five, I just don't

331
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: like that price. I still think you should gettinglose to

332
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: afford to one with.

333
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: That, but I'll do the injury Devil's advocate here, Lucas

334
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Sakota has not been right.

335
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: I think Zara's got to play. I'm going to figure

336
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: out his dea. Trying to find some reporting on him.

337
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: Not exactly the Huntington Hounds, they called him Kai not

338
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: exactly very well covered in the Bostonian region. But if

339
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: I can get to the Sakota tip, I think I

340
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: might be in on my Huskies.

341
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah no, thanks, they haven't beaten anybody.

342
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: You're crazy, says Kai and Jim. You're crazy man.

343
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: All right, we'll see. I'll put in my back pocket

384
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: To the Valley Arch Madness. How I've been in the

385
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: seats of Scott Trade slash Enterprise Arena many a time

386
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: for this phenomenal event. I call it the Mecca of

387
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: college basketball Conference Herd season. The format has changed the

388
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: last two years the Valley expansion. He used to be

389
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: a doomsday to play in the opening Thursday slot with

390
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: the bottom four teams. Now are two more teams added.

391
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: You want to be in the upper four to get

392
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: the bye to the Friday, so you have eight teams

393
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: on Thursday. The top four play on Friday the quarters

394
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: and then semis and finals at that mid afternoon matinee

395
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: on CBS, which we all love. Of course. The key

396
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: storyline here, Jim the two bid valley quest Drake Indiana State.

397
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: I think the whole league wants to see in the

398
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: title game as the one in two seeds, respectively, probably

399
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: setting up for a pretty clear path for a two

400
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: bid valley. They're depending on who wins that game. But

401
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: Bradley's been kind of the darling in this league, the tournament,

402
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: I should say, the last five years they've won it

403
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: to to the last five they always performed well in

404
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: this field. Does Brian Wortle have some magic juju in

405
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 2: this or is just sort of happenstance, circumstantial nonsense that.

406
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: We don't care about. Maybe, I mean he's been Wartle's

407
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: been the warded of this event, and partially going back

408
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: to what I was saying about the coast, so it's

409
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: kind of been because Bradley's been like the half court,

410
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: grind defensive team that can force you down into the muck.

411
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: And I think typically unders are very good in arch Madness.

412
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I can look up that data while the other guys

413
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: go through their takes on this. But I think we

414
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: do see the top two teams make the final. I

415
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: think we get the Drake in the United State Showdown

416
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: that everybody's hoping for.

417
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: Ky.

418
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: We saw the first game head to head in Tara

419
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Hope this year. It was a doozy, but I think

420
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: I do think Drake ends up winning. My one fun

421
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: trivia effect for you guys here since February first, continuing

422
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: my little filter of this, who is performing the best in.

423
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: The northern Iowa is the right answer? Jim there might

424
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 2: pick to win this incorrect.

425
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: I love the confidence though, I love the just plow

426
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: through Kaya. I'm gonna give you a chance as well.

427
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 3: Drake is not Drake.

428
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: In Indiana State are fifty eighth and sixty first since

429
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: February first, but coming in number one. Shouts to Dave

430
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: con only who is dming me about this? Belmont forty

431
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: second in the country since February first, has a lot

432
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: to Jacobe Gillespie returning and getting healthy in the lineup

433
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: for the Bruins. That your boy, casey, Alexander. It's still

434
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: kind of you know, Belmont's new to the event, having

435
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: come up from the OBC just recently. But there's a

436
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: chance at some of the longer shot odds there that

437
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: they can make a run.

438
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: But Matt, just right back.

439
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: To you, Northern Iowa the team that you like. So

440
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: we're kind of squaring off with our sleeper picks there

441
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: in the four or five game potentially.

442
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bellot's been great. They basically had three seasons. They

443
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 2: started off really well and they kind of had that

444
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: skid without Gillespie and now he's back and now they're awesome.

445
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: It's a young team, right, like Malik Dia a sophomore,

446
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other sophomores around Gillespie or sorry,

447
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: around Keishawn Davidson, who's their de facto a veteran. Gillespie

448
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: is one of these kind of younger mid class dudes.

449
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: Who man, they all come back next year, this could

450
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: be like a top tier favorite in the conference. But

451
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: for this year, I still think it's going to be

452
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: a bad of the big boys, the premier program the

453
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: premier valley programs. I'm going to take you and I

454
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: I think with the value KAI at ten to one

455
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: sort of think Indiana State loses a head scratcher doesn't

456
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 2: play well, they sneak in as an at large, but

457
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: then the Purple Panthers march on and also spoil Drake's

458
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: run to an autobid. Thus a three bid valley question.

459
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: No, no chance for a three bid valley. Unfortunately, in

460
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: little Cavea on the Belmont, since February first, they've played

461
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: one top three valley team that was Drake. They lost

462
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: by fifteen, So definitely beating the lesser teams. Will say,

463
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: what I think is a top three team that comes

464
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: out of this. Interestingly enough, in the NASA, Drake Bradley

465
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: top three both offense and defense in the conference. They've

466
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: been pretty much controlling the league all season. Indianastate has

467
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: my heart, guys, but I am really nervous about a

468
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: round that that first round matchup Murray State or Missouri State. Yeah,

469
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: they are talented teams. They're not pushovers in the eight

470
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 3: to nine slot. Now, the Drake Bradley section's brutal. It's

471
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: hard to really confidently bet either of those teams because

472
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: Bradley or Drake, I think can beat each other on

473
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: any given night. I kind of agree with Matt that

474
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 3: ten to one Northern Iowa. It's not that bad of value.

475
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: They're balanced on both ends. They have bowen Born, they

476
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 3: beat Drake, they beat Bradley, they beat Belmont. But can

477
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: they hang with Indiana State. That's the major question. I

478
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: just hope it's Indiana State here, Jim. I think he

479
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: u and has the best value. I think I'll go

480
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: with Indiana State to win the tournament, but I'm still

481
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: nervous about it.

482
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the matchup with Missouri State and Murray State.

483
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: I do think that is a tricky one for Indiana

484
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: State right away. They were scorching hot in the first

485
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: half against Murray State age. I watched that game over

486
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: the weekend. Here we're able to kind of get away

487
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: from it, but they could not get stops for a while.

488
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: And fun little tidbit here, Steve Prome in conference tournament games,

489
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: including both his initial Murray State run and Iowa State,

490
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: and I'll back fourteen and five against the spread. He

491
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: has been very good in these postseason environments. I definitely

492
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: lean their way in that first round against Medley State

493
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: and to give Indiana State a bat in the quarterfinals.

494
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: My pick here is Drake, though I think they have

495
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: been playing better Kai. We saw up close and personnel

496
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: close they were at Indiana State, and that was with

497
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: Devrees kind of banged up, but it was with Garland

498
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: the freshman not playing in that game. They've gotten some

499
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: young guys Overton and Garlands that have really emerged. Matthew,

500
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm picking Drake over Indiana State at my final selection,

501
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: but Belmont's my sleeper given how stronomy have been since

502
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: Gillespie returned a lot of it.

503
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned most State that was sort of the

504
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 2: team I wanted to get really cute with, but I

505
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: just don't think they have enough depth to win four

506
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: and four. I mean, this team beat St. Mary Saint

507
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: Mary's has not lost since they lost at home to

508
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 2: Missouri State, who went fully healthy and not dealing with

509
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: this extraneous ad president is for going to be fired drama,

510
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: which I keep hearing about locally, like they actually might

511
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: be a pretty good bet here, but again, tough format,

512
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: not in a good head space. And also Mason I

513
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 2: think is still in Paris doing some catwalk stuff, so

514
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: I can.

515
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Can we discuss that wasn't he modeling in Paris? Kay?

516
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: You found thatpparently his brother was is a model or something,

517
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: and I don't know. So he just got a quick

518
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: puddle jump over to Paris and then got back in

519
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: time for their game against All in the Chicago, which

520
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: they won by ten and I both.

521
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: Wait, so the picture was not him modeling, it was

522
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: it was him.

523
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 2: I think he went anticipated in his brother's thing and

524
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: then came back. His brother is in the business in

525
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: the fashion designer of it's actually playlist something like that.

526
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: He had two points and was one for nine from

527
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: the field and that went Chicago test.

528
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so maybe he'll be uh sharp for this one. Anyway,

529
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 2: we have nothing more to We're heading west to the

530
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 2: Orleans and the Desert. I think maybe my favorite venue

531
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: not named Arch Madness for any of these tournaments here,

532
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: just a really good basketball venue out there in Vegas.

533
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: One of the classics. I know Timo was kind of

534
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: sucked up the recent hooplot of late but the Orleans

535
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: Great Venue. The West Coast Conference notorious for stacking the

536
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: deck for their top two horses, and yes, those top

537
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: two horses reigned supreme again. Saint Mary's as the one seed,

538
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: they can Gonzaga as the two seed, fresh off their

539
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: demolition of Saint Mary's up in Maraga to close out

540
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: the year, Santa Clara the four, San Francisco the three.

541
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: There's a pretty nice tournament format for the tiers of

542
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: this league. Like it actually sets up. There's a very

543
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: clear top two, a very clear second two, and the

544
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: drop off from four to five is cataclysmic in my opinion.

545
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: So that's sort of how you have to break down

546
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: this bracket. And is there any appetite, Jim to you

547
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: to bet anyone other than Kenzagar or Saint Mary's to

548
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: win this if you're looking to better futures.

549
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Not even a little bit. I think there's you could

550
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: talk yourself into value on, like, oh, San Francisco or

551
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: Santa Clara beat Gonzaga once this year, No, thank you.

552
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Kenzaga minus won ten is a two

553
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: game money line parlay that they'll beat San Francisco and

554
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's, who they just beat both by double digits

555
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: in the final week of the season, both on the road.

556
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: Now you get them neutral. Yeah, I'm I'm riding with

557
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Gonzaga here, Kai, But I want to know, mister McEwan,

558
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: how are you betting the fired Coach's Bowl on the

559
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: opening Thursday between Pepperdine and Pacific. No more Romart, no

560
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: more Leonard Perry. I tweeted this earlier, but Leonard Perry,

561
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: in his three years of Pacific was twenty five and

562
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: sixty one against the spread twenty nine percent, the worst

563
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: team in the country over that span. Yeah, he's a

564
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: He's a fallen hero for us. Better fading Pacific was

565
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: always automatic.

566
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: Pacific with the uh the unenviable oh and sixteen performance

567
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: this year in WCC play not great. Pepperdine I think

568
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: is going to smash him, So I would like Pepperdine

569
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: in that matchup. There's no point in betting anybody else

570
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: besides the top two. The question is wish too. Is

571
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: it the price here? You probably take the one that's

572
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: plus money. Saint Mary's. I don't think them and Gonzaga

573
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 3: are that big of a difference, but I do think

574
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: in Zag is my choice here. They will beat San Francisco.

575
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: I think Santa Clara can beat Saint Mary's, and I

576
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: do Zaga in the rubber match against the Gale, So

577
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: Gonzaga for me, Matthew don't think it's great value, but

578
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: I really have a hard time seeing any team besides

579
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: those two winning the conference.

580
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 2: I love Pepperdine in the battle of the of the

581
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: bruised and battered whatever you want to call them. Funny

582
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: that Romar was seven and three against the spread and

583
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: conference tournaments. Not going to give him all the credit

584
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: for that, just sort of in a roll the balls

585
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: out their situation. Their talent has played up and probably

586
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: been over looked coming into that format. I kind of

587
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: like that. Just a battle of two teams who aren't

588
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: going to have coaches. I'll just take the more talented team.

589
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, value wise, I think it's Zagat's the right

590
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: play here. Looking at the price, so minus one ten,

591
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: they'll be favored by probably eight over San Francisco on

592
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: a neutral Is that too high? And then I bet

593
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: they'll be favored against Saint Mary's for sure. I think

594
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: right by a couple of points there.

595
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: So I think they'll take money in that too, just

596
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: how well they've been playing. Going back to some of

597
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the Bart Torvik filters here, Gonzaga has been number eleven

598
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: in the country since February first. That includes obviously the

599
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: win at rupp Uh and if you filter Bart for

600
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: games just against Q two competition like so, good teams

601
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: excluding all the Saint Mary's win by forty five over

602
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: the bad teams Gonzaga's thirteenth Saint Mary's thirty third. I

603
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: will take the Zags. They're just playing fantastic lately. I

604
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: think they stamped their ticket to another dance here by

605
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: winning the tournament.

606
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: Because he's averaging like twenty three points a game over

607
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: his last ten games.

608
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: Defintely, he's insane and was good in Saint Mary's too.

609
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: I feel like they was sort of picking off bad

610
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: count but then he continued it against a good team.

611
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: I think Gonzaga is a good value bet only if

612
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: you think that Saint Mary's is a little vulnerable in

613
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: the top if if you feel like Saint Mary's is

614
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: a lock to win that game, I would just wait

615
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: and bet Gonzaga against Saint Mary's for you know, close

616
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: to the same prize effectively, just we'll just how the

617
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 2: lines shake out. I think that's gonna be probably your

618
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: better approach there.

619
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: Again, reminder of the lack of Josh Jefferson or Saint

620
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Mary's makes them it looks more vulnerable and against yeah,

621
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: it's it's exactly matt yep Uh and.

622
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: Wessels him our boy. I think the old dice he

623
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: is well. I think they might bring him back. But again,

624
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: some minor frontline issues for the Gales. Any of their

625
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: best bets here for the first round, potentially San Diego,

626
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: the fighting Steve Lavins. How about that A five C

627
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: for Stevie and the boys young team.

628
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: That's wild reflective of how bad the six.

629
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to agree. I think Santa Claara beats

630
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: them by a million on Saturday if they off.

631
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: I think generally the take the team that's rested against

632
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: the one that played yesterday is a pretty solid approach. Also,

633
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: goofy that they're keeping to take the Sunday off schedule

634
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: with no BYU anymore. That was always like we can't

635
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: play on Sunday because of BYU. But they still have

636
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: that built in. I wonder if that changes in the

637
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: future or if they just like giving everybody a rest day.

638
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, Matt, to your point, like, I'll take San

639
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: Diego against the winner of Pepeline Pacific, I'll take Santa

640
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: Clara against the winner of that game. I'll take San

641
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Francisco against the winner of Portland. Loyal Mary Marymount, I

642
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: think those that approach makes a lot of sense in

643
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: this league.

644
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: No, the day off is kind of huge. If I

645
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: felt strongly that Clara and San Francisco could actually give

646
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's an Zag a real run, I'd be inclined

647
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: to look hard there. But because I have that day

648
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: off that a lot of these other formats don't have.

649
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: But I just think the matchup and the consistent performance

650
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: advantage that Saint Mary's Nag had against those teams, I'm

651
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: just not going to touch it, Fellas. That's all we have.

652
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: We're just a slipper and the overall pie of conference
