My name is 3 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: Matt Perelt. You guys can follow me across all of 4 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: my socials at Sports Talk Matt, and we're back after 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: a winning day kind of how it's gone. We have 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: one very good bet with Saint Francis plus four. We 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: had that on the live stream from last night. San 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: Diego State got destroyed by Carolina. I thought they'd win 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: the game. More on Carolina here in just one second. 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: But I thought Carolina would win the game and the 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Stars and the Oilers. That was the best bet of 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the day. That money line parlay hits for us, even 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: though the Stars had to come back a little bit. 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: They were down three to two starting the third period. 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: But they win the game five four or four to three. 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: They win the game, beat the Oilers, Oilers easy. Ors 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: got to win easily and their game at home. So 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: we win that bet. Hockey two and one up point 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: nine to one units on the day. Okay, so today 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you a first four play.

You are in 68 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: good to go for that giveaway. All right, let's start 69 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: with tonight Texas against Xavier. I actually talked to someone 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: yesterday on my other show on the Boss Stony Versus 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: of the book and a guy I have a lot 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: of respect for, Elo Hirschfitch who works for the Lines 73 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: dot com and he has Xavier going to the final four. 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: I asked him if he was related to Zach Fremantle 75 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: because I couldn't get over it. Some people love Xavier. 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm not one of them. Okay, if this was being 77 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: played at Cintas Center, I would probably say, sure, Xavier 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: is gonna beat everybody. But I've been so wrong with 79 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: Texas this year that I've decided to take the points. 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: It'd be like, Okay, I faded Texas against Vandy, lost 81 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: faded Texas against Well, No, it was against A and M, 82 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: and lost against Tennessee. I think I stayed away from 83 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: that game, right, I can't remember. I don't think I 84 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: laid it with Tennessee. Maybe I did, I don't know. 85 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: But I've been pretty bad with Texas this year. Nineteen 86 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: and fifteen for Texas overall, six and twelve in the conference, 87 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: and now they're here in the playing game. I'm not 88 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: a big Rodney Terry fan, but he definitely found something, 89 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: at least in the SEC tournament where against A and 90 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: M in that double overtime thriller. They had no legs 91 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: against Tennessee the next day, but they definitely found something. 92 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: I just can't get behind this Xavier team. Now it's 93 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: a win according to Kempom one point win for Texas, 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: so the line three open two and a half has 95 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: been bet to three. I just I'm having a hard 96 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: time with it, Like part of me is like this 97 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: is wrong. It's just it's not right. Xavier has been 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: pretty good this year, but I haven't been in love 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: with Xavier. Away from home ats wise, they were eight 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: and seven. Texas was eight and eight in the Biggies Tournament. 101 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: They covered against Marquette, they didn't cover against Providence. They 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: won the game by eight. They were laying ten the 103 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: end of the year with a win at Butler, in 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: a win at Creighton, or sorry, at home against Creighton 105 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: by twenty two points. So they're playing well down the stretch. 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: There's no debating that Xavier's got talent in the Fremantle place, 107 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: bigger than he actually is. But Xavier's offense efficiency fifty third, 108 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: effective field goal percentage fifty fifth, they are sixth and 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: three point shooting big weapon for them. They got to 110 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: hit threes on the road. They haven't done a great 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: job of that two point defense. It's one hundred and 112 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: sixty sixth. They do it their free throws, which is big. 113 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: That's a big stat there, eighth in free throw shooting. 114 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: On the other side, Texas defensively has been okay. Fifty 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: six in efficiency, sixty fifth in effective field goal percentage 116 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty third and three point defense. That's 117 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: a concern. Fifty first in two point defense. That's good. 118 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: On offense, Texas has got to be consistent here. They 119 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: don't turn the basketball over, which is good. They're thirty 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: seventh in efficiency, which is good. They're ninety fifth in 121 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: effective field goal percentage, which isn't great sixty seventh and 122 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: three points shooting in one hundred and fifty fourth in 123 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: two point shooting. So let's see where Texas goes here. 124 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: I think this is a one possession game, much like 125 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: the Saint Francis play. I'm going to take the dog 126 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: thinking that it's going to be a tight basketball game, 127 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: and when it's tight and coming down to one possession, 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: I would rather have the points Texas plus three. You 129 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: might want to fade that, just FYI. I bet Texas 130 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: plus three. But haven't been great with Texas and I 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: just don't like Xavier away from Sintas Center. I'm just 132 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: not a huge fan with them on the road. So 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: like a part of me is thinking, I'm so wrong 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: with Texas. I don't love Xavier. This year away from home, 135 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: they were six and nine straight up. Texas was eight 136 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: and eight, not much better, but better. Xavier was fifteen 137 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: and two at home, I mean fifteen and two. They 138 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: were like, legitimately, this is why they're even in this 139 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: game is because of their home record, and they've got 140 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: some big wins at home. But like they lost badly 141 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: to Crayton on the road. They lost by eight to 142 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Saint John's on the road. They even lost at home 143 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: to Saint John's. They lost at Georgetown, which is come on, 144 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: They lost at Yukon, they lost at Cincinnati, they lost 145 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: at TCU. This isn't a road game, but it's not 146 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: a home game. So like, I'm not backing Xavier away 147 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: from home. Texas plus three for one point one units. Okay, 148 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: let's go to Friday here for or the opening first 149 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: round of the NCAA tournament. Let's start with Vanderbilt. Now 150 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: you know what, Let's start with North Carolina in Ole Miss. 151 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm laying money line. I got minus one twenty. Okay, 152 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: I told you on my bracket yesterday when I put 153 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: it out on my Twitter account at Sports Talking Matt. 154 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: You go see my bracket. But I have North Carolina 155 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: winning this game. I have North Carolina going to the 156 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, and I think they beat Ole Miss. I 157 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: mean I think this is This Carolina team is really hot. 158 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to play around with the number. It's early. 159 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: Let's jump on it before it gets high. They've been rolling, 160 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely rolling. They've covered four straight games. They've 161 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: covered nine of their last ten. Sorry eight and two, 162 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: sorry eight'll last nine eight and two over the least ten. 163 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: They are up against an Ole Miss team that I 164 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,239 Speaker 1: didn't like it at all. Since the fifteenth of February, 165 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: they have covered two times now. It was against Auburn. 166 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: They covered where they were catching twelve and a half 167 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: in the SEC Championship in the tournaments now the champions 168 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: gap in the tournament game they lost by five. They 169 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: pushed Auburn, but Auburn had tired legs and whatever, lost 170 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: by nineteen to Florida. They covered against Tennessee with a 171 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: push I'm sorry when they won. Sorry, they were catching 172 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: two and they won at home by two, big win 173 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: for them. They beat South Carolina by four, laying three 174 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: and a half on the road, I mean, and then 175 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: against Sorry it was it yeah, so yes, that was 176 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: before the fifteenth or that was the twelfth of February. 177 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: Their only cover since the fifteenth of February. That's one, two, three, four, five, 178 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: six seven eight games. So two and six ats over 179 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: your last eight games. Not much better if you said 180 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: the ten games or three and seven over your last 181 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: ten ats. That's not good, okay in a pick up 182 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: type situation, Give me the hotter team. The only loss 183 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: that we have seen by North Carolina since the fifteenth 184 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: of February was to Duke. They have beaten everyone in 185 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: most of the teams they've beaten up twenty four in 186 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: c State fifteen, Virginia eleven, Florida State nineteen, Miami thirty 187 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: thirty two, b Tech twenty, Notre Dame nine, Wake Forest 188 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven. San Diego State losses to Duke two times 189 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: in that stretch. Carolina money line minus one twenty for 190 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: one point two units, bet number two for Friday. These 191 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: are the first round games happening on Friday, so not Thursday, 192 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: but Friday. Vanderbilt in Saint Mary's. I love the SEC, 193 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: but these are the games I'm fading the SEC. Saint 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: Mary's on the road. This year, Saint Mary's was eight 195 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: and eight ATS. They did not end the year well 196 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: at all. Last four games and for the last five 197 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: they didn't cover. But they won the games or they 198 00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: won one, two, three, four of sorry, five of seven. 199 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: They actually, you know what, way more than that, one two, three, four, five, six, seven, 200 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: eight of nine they won. They only covered three of 201 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: those nine games, however, but they won on the other side, 202 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: not just not covering. Vanderbilt lost. They lost to Texas 203 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: by seven. They lost to Georgia by eleven. They lost 204 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: to Arkansas by thirteen. The wheels are coming off Vanderbilt 205 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: a little bit, okay, People are taking them seriously. In 206 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: all the big wins, almost all the big wins happened 207 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: at home for Vanderbilt. On the road, you know, similar 208 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: to Xavier. On the road, Vandy was six and nine. 209 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: Saint Mary's was sixteen and one at home, but they 210 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: were twelve and four on the road, including winning at Gonzaga. 211 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: I like Saint Mary's here. I think Saint Mary's is 212 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: going to you know, the number was three and a half, 213 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: it's now four. I'm gonna lay the four with Saint 214 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: Mary's against Vanderbilts. I don't like Vandy's chances here. I 215 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: think Saint Mary's defense is gonna be really difficult to 216 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: deal with. I think they have the size, They're not 217 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: gonna be afraid of the sec. Give me Saint Mary's 218 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: minus four for one point one units, and finally we're 219 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: gonna jump in. And we've been consistently fading Yukon, I'm 220 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna fade them again. Here's a time where I'm actually 221 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: taking I'm taking the points with an sec school. I 222 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: watched Oklahoma play. I was pretty impressed with Oklahoma. Okay. 223 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: This is the two time defending national champs and Yukon 224 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: and I think they're getting some respect here. Oklahoma was 225 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: ten and six on the road this year, ats ten 226 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: and six in the SEC. Pretty darn good. Oklahoma has 227 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: covered seven consecutive games. They come into this tournament hot. 228 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: They lost by one to Kentucky in an awesome game. 229 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: They beat Georgia as three and a half point dogs. 230 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: They beat Texas on the road, They beat Missouri at home, 231 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: they beat They lost to Ole Miss on the road, 232 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: but covered. They lost to Kentucky at home, but they covered. 233 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: They lost to They beat Mississippi State as four point dogs. 234 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: They won by six. Now they got killed by Florida, Okay, 235 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: and they had a stretch where they lost five straight games. 236 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: But since they lost those five straight games, didn't cover 237 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: on any of them. They've covered every game since seven straight. Connecticut, 238 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: on the other hand, lost to Creighton by nine in 239 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: the tournament in the Big East Tournament. That snapped a 240 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: four sorry five game win streak, and they had covered 241 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: four of five. But I don't like Yukon on the 242 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: road in a tournament setting. I know Liam mcneely's gonna 243 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: be a great weapon for them, but five and a 244 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: half points is too heavy. Yukon may win this game, 245 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: but I like, I like Oklahoma to keep this game 246 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: really close, and I like Oklahoma to have a shot 247 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: to win this game at the end. This is going 248 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: to be, I think, a barn burner of a game, 249 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: and I'm just not the big of a fan a Connecticut. 250 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,479 Speaker 1: According to kempom, it's a one point win for Yukon. Yes. Offensively, efficiency, 251 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Yukon has been great, fourteenth in efficiency and twenty seventh 252 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: in effective field goal percentage. In Oklahoma's defense is somewhat lacking. 253 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they're three hundred and twenty second and two 254 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: point defense, but they're twenty first in three point defense. Offensively, though, 255 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: they're twenty second efficiency, thirty eighth in effective field goal percentage, 256 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: thirty fifth in three point defense, sorry three point offense. 257 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: Yukon is two fifty seventh in three point defense. Drop 258 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: coverage not great, sixteenth and two point defense very good 259 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: at the rim fifty fifth for Oklahoma, and they're gonna 260 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: have the best player on the field on the court. 261 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Fears is a lottery pick. Jeremiah Fears is an 262 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: absolute ball of a weapon. He's so fun again. Lee 263 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: McNeil is really good. Diarra has been good this year. 264 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: I like the guards more for Oklahoma. I like the 265 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: length for them with Fourth Site and company, I think 266 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: they keep the game close. They have a shot to 267 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: win the game on Friday night late in Raley, North Carolina, 268 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma plus five and half Okay, so our plays four today, 269 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Texas plus three in the play in first four against Xavier, 270 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: Saint Mary's minus four against Vanderbilt, Oklahoma plus five and 271 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: a half up against Yukon and UNC minus one twenty 272 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: on the money line to beat Ole Miss on Friday 273 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: to advance to the round of thirty two. We'll have 274 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: more plays on Thursday, more plays on Friday.
