00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: Oh, the similarities are absolutely striking between the men and

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 4: the women.

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 5: We will get to that momentarily.

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: Hey, just like in basketball, as successful game plan starts

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 4: with the right players. The team at Tructors Tractor Supply

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 4: brings hustle and heart and that's what really sets them apart.

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: So lace up your sneakers and make the winning play

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: by heading to your local tractor supply store today.

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 5: Good morning everybody. I'll tell you what. Now that we're

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 5: here with the final four.

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: On the lady side, South Carolina undefeated taking on Iowa

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: in the championship game, seems like a bit of a

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 4: collision course, if you will. Seems similar on the men's side, right,

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: seems like Purdue Yukon on a collision course, it would

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: be quite the surprise if that's not what we get.

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about this a lot.

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 6: It feels like even though there was some fun coming

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 6: out of the opening round and the round of thirty

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 6: two of the bracket, by the time we got to

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 6: the sweet sixteen, it felt like things really sort of normalized,

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 6: like you were seeing a lot of the top seeds

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 6: out of their corner of the bracket make their way

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 6: to the deeper rounds of the tournament outside of NC State,

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 6: who's still alive as an eleven seed.

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, it sort of feels.

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 6: Like on both sides, you know, a little bit like

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 6: lambs to slaughter that Purdue and Yukon are gonna face

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 6: each each other in the final.

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

41
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 6: This is the reason why we love March, because we

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 6: don't know what's gonna happen, and obviously tonight, any today,

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 6: anything can happen, and that's why we'll be watching.

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, from a betting perspective, I don't think the two

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: games tonight offer as much intrigue on the spread as

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: we would hope. I think the Yukon game last night

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: against Iowa might end up being the best game of

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: the of the bunch, right, if there's two final four

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: games on the men, two final four games on the women,

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: I think I think that was the closest game that

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: we were going to see. But I'm wrong all the time,

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: and this tournament proves the smartest of prognosticators wrong all

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: the time. But let's just be honest, guys, this is

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: the matchup we want, like we want Purdue against Yukon.

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: I think we'd be disappointed if we didn't get it.

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I think I've been saying for the last couple weeks now,

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: it's obvious to me that Purdue is the only team

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: that can can has a chance against Yukon because they

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: can and suffocate Clinging inside where I don't. I'll be honest,

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's another big in the tournament

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: right now that can play with either Edie and or Clinging.

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: So when you have a dominant big man like that,

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: and we'll go through some of the numbers of just

64
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: how absurdly dominant Donovan Klingon has been in this tournament,

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: very hard to compete with that.

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: I wonder if Tom izz though the Michigan State head coach,

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: would be disappointed if we don't get Purdue and Yukon

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: in the final. Right, remember his comments before the tournament

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: where everybody loves Cinderella until it's time for the next game. Tom,

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: They're like Alabama and Purdue.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: What is this?

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 5: You know, something like that would be pretty funny.

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's It's one of those things where I think there's, well,

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 6: most of the people who watch college basketball, who care

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 6: about college basketball, probably wants to see the you know,

76
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: the the two time Wooden Award winner against what looks

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 6: like an unbeatable Huskies team, as opposed to see an

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 6: eleven seed take on Alabama. You know, NC State. Don't

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 6: get me wrong, it's a fun story. Alabama. They've turned

80
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 6: around their basketball program and they've become one of those

81
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 6: teams where last year I actually thought that Bama was

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 6: going to make a deeper run. They got snuffed by

83
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 6: San Diego State in my bracket. Look, I live in

84
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: San Diego. It felt sacrilegious to circle Bama in the

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 6: sweet sixteen, but I had them both there and I

86
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: picked the wrong team advancing. You know, it's but that's

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 6: that's how Haywire things can go. But as we get

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: closer to the final, the cream really does rise to

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 6: the top and the Huskies just look so complete. This

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 6: has been such a drubbing from the opening whistle tip

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 6: off in the opening rounds against Jesus, who was it stets.

92
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: In And oh I had stets in first half in

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: that game, I might have been the worst bet I

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: made all year.

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: I mean I need that as a drop.

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: I need that I had stets It in the first half.

97
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, the format there is a more appropriate like March

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 6: third betting talk.

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's a perfect I.

100
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: Could just picture the I don't know if it's bet

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: MGM or whatever, like uh, we always say, like the textbook,

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: if you look up whatever in the dictionary, you'll see

103
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 4: a picture by this.

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: I can.

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 4: I could just hear the the p s A in

106
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: my head, Like if you think you have trouble gambling,

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: this might be an example.

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 5: I had Stetson in the first half.

109
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: You know.

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: That was over literally you know when they say from

111
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: the jump, that was literally over from the jump as

112
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: they jumped the ball up over.

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that one.

114
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 5: That ball is tipped.

115
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: The game is always over. Oh gosh, I mean that's

116
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: how they did.

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: I just I just pictured Jared just tearing up a

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 6: ticket like a physical yeah, in his in his living room, Jack.

119
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Looking on doing the segments for MGM on the air,

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: looking at the like, yeah, no, we're gonna lose this one. Guys,

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: We're in trouble.

122
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. I dislike Dan Hurley. I dislike it very much.

123
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: Like I'm the one that screwed up the plane because

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: of the stets and loss.

125
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 4: It's my fall I Look, man, if you're talking about

126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: being mad, I get it with the stets in first

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: half line. But anybody who was on Illinois last game

128
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: against Yukon, look, that was what a six point game

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 4: at halftime?

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: Very low scoring. Yeah, and then you know.

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 4: That was the beginning of Yukon's thirty to nothing run.

132
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: They went on a thirty zero run against the best

133
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: offense in college basketball. And you talk about being mad

134
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: not only at the allion I but at their head

135
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: coach Brad Underwood. That was the dumbest game plan I've

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: I've ever seen. And what's worse is the total lack

137
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: of adjustments. When he was on court with Andy Katz

138
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: doing the interview in the first half, he was like,

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: if we get a thousand shots blocked, we get a

140
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: thousand shots blocked, and It's like, what is he talking.

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 5: About right now? What is he saying?

142
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: So that's the thing I'm looking at tonight, among many

143
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: other things, is you can't assist Yukon in drubbing you.

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: You know, they can do a just fight on their own.

145
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: So I'm really curious to see what the game plan is.

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: I would expect a bunch of three pointers from Alabama tonight,

147
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: and I don't know if that's gonna mix in a

148
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: football stadium with a weird backtrop and if you can't

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: shoot from distance and shoot from the outside, Alabama is

150
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: gonna get smacked tonight.

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: But we'll see how well they shoot.

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Well.

153
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 6: Listen, I Klingon, I'm glad you mentioned him. He's been

154
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: like a wrecking ball in the paint for the Huskies

155
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: and he's had some hit or miss stretches during the

156
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 6: regular season. But it it's all about how you finish

157
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: in all sports, right, It really doesn't matter how pretty

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 6: irregular season looks. It's what you do in the postseason bracket.

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 6: This is as true in college basketball as it is

160
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 6: in college football, as it is in you know, professional.

161
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: Basketball, football, baseball.

162
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter, you know, in baseball, literally the architect

163
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 6: of moneyball, Billy Bean.

164
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: He said it himself.

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, we can use all these predictive algorithms

166
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: and measures and analytics to get a team into the postseason,

167
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 6: but the postseason is a crapshoot because you don't know,

168
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: you don't know until you get there what's going to happen.

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 6: And so you know, just like we've seen in the past,

170
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 6: certain great teams they get the early exit and it's

171
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: because they showed up unprepared. And other great teams like

172
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 6: this Huskies team who had an unbelievable postseason last year,

173
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: are continuing in stride. They look so dominant. Yeah, with

174
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 6: Stetson and Northwestern, I went back and looked it up.

175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 6: Both of those were huge blowouts. And then, like you

176
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 6: said about a line, the same thing with STSU for

177
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 6: Yukon in both of those.

178
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 3: Games in the Sweet sixteen and the Elite.

179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 6: Eight, it looked close at the half, and then they

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 6: just have this incredible ability in the second half. I

181
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 6: guess to make some adjustments at halftime and then absolutely

182
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 6: turn on the after burners. It's just they're a special

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 6: team this year. They are a really really special team.

184
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Ali in his prime. It's the ropodope. They think,

185
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, you think you're in the game, and then

186
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: you don't make as many adjustment. I don't know that.

187
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: Like the Brade Underwood thing was weird. They're known for that,

188
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: not making adjustments, kind of just rolling the ball out

189
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: and saying, our guys are more talented than your guys.

190
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: But you can't do that when you're facing Yukon. So

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: how about some numbers to show you just how good

192
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: Yukon's been in this tournament. And this is a weird

193
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: number to show how good they've been. But the fact

194
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: that they are four to zero against the spread, covering

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: the number by double digits, annihilating opponents, and they're shooting

196
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: twenty eight percent from three in the tournament, twenty five

197
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: for eighty nine. Now that's their offense. Like they run this.

198
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: Their regular offense during the regular season is like this

199
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: pattern motion offense. It's a lot of off ball screening.

200
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: It's a lot of guys running off the wings and

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: trying to get into the corner and make open shots.

202
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: When it's running well, guys are just wide open, taking

203
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: wide open threes. And they're a very good three point

204
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: shooting team. During the regular season thirty six percent. The

205
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 2: shots aren't falling in the tournament, so what do they do.

206
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: That's okay, let's just throw it down to Donovan Klingen

207
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: and let him go absolutely berserk. They are shooting in

208
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: the tournament from two point range over sixty percent. They

209
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: can just completely switch their normal offense and say, you

210
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: know what, we're gonna throw that out and we're just

211
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: gonna let Donovan cling because that's the advantage that we have.

212
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of defense you play. If

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: the shots aren't falling from deep, they go inside. If

214
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: the shots are falling from the outside, well then you've

215
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: got no chance to begin with. So it's just it's

216
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: pick your poison with them. And then defensively, I mean

217
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: Donovan Klingen, it's unbelievable. Illinois shot three for twenty five

218
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: in that game from the Elite eight, and in their

219
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: twenty two minutes with Klingon on the floor, they were

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: zero for nineteen on shots directly challenging him. So offensively

221
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: they can go versatile. Defensively, you can't get to the paint.

222
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: You've got to just make a boatload of threes, and

223
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: obviously Illinois didn't do that, So I don't know what

224
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: the recipe is to beat them. You just hope in

225
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: a prayer and you just got to make a gigantic

226
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: amount of shots.

227
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the thing. You go back to Yukon's

228
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: last loss. It was against Creighton on the road, and

229
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: what does Creighton do well? Especially at home? They hit

230
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: a lot of long distance shots. And that's absolutely something

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Alabama's gonna have to do because they play no defense none,

232
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: like they I've said all season long. They're a less

233
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: publicized Kentucky. You know, we focus on John Calipari and Kentucky. Kentucky,

234
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: Kentucky early exit, Kentucky. Just stylistically, Alabama is very similar.

235
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 5: It's like the Spider Man meme. They're pointing at each other.

236
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: That would be Kentucky style and Alabama style offensively, where

237
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: they are just looking to outscore you. They're not playing

238
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: a lick of defense. So if Alabama holds true and

239
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: is playing no defense against Yukon, who does play great defense,

240
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: you have to just be red hot. This is to me,

241
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 4: Alabama is more like a mid major in this one

242
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: where you've got to go golky. You know, you gotta

243
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: have someone just go crazy.

244
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: Yes, and people say you never go full gol Key

245
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 6: this one, you gotta go full Golky. I really I

246
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 6: feel strongly about what you just said. Alabama feels like

247
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 6: a mid major against Yukon, and that what a compliment

248
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: to Dan Hurley and Yukon that you can take a

249
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 6: basketball program with the amount of money in athletic endownment,

250
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 6: with as much money as they have the name, image,

251
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 6: and likeness funneling into these players' pocketbuts to be able

252
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 6: to say that about Alabama going up against any team

253
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 6: in the final four, Yeah, you got to go out

254
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: there and play like you're a mid major and go

255
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 6: goal gye it up, kids, because Yukon's coming for you

256
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: and they're.

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: Just a wrecking ball.

258
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 6: It's dude, It's spooky what they've done in this tournament

259
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 6: over the past two years.

260
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: It really is.

261
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: I mean, so let's talk a little bit about Alabama

262
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: because I think, you know, obviously Yukon's going to get

263
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: the love, but Alabama's had a really nice run here.

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: Nato.

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: It's I think if you asked him if this team

266
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: was capable of this before the season, I think last

267
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: Thar's team was much better. He's had better teams, he's

268
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: had more talent, but I think this team has a

269
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: little bit of of the it factor. So midway through

270
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: the year, they moved Rylan Griffin to the four, and

271
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: he's kind of a guard, but they went really small

272
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: and since that point their offense has been absolutely electric.

273
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: And because they're very versatile, right, so they've got Griffin

274
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: and Mark Sears and Aaron Estrada. I mean, they've basically

275
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: got three guards on the outside that are all kind

276
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: of point guards, and they spread the floor and they

277
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: have great ball spacing, and they get into the paint

278
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: and then they kick out and they hit threes. And

279
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: if you help off the off of the drive, you're

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: gonna leave one of these shooters open in the corner.

281
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: The problem is, again it goes back to Donovan Clinging.

282
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: You are matching up I think, besides Edie, the most

283
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: dominant player in this tournament. Maybe you can even say

284
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: one A one B Clinging and Eadie. You are matching

285
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: that person up with a six foot ten undersized big man,

286
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: Nick Pringle. And if you don't run Pringle, then you've

287
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: got to go with the other guy. The you know,

288
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: the big guy that's shooting a bunch of threes for them.

289
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Nelson and he is just now he might pull, he

290
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: might pull, clinging away from the room a little bit,

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: but it's just it's it's it's gonna be tough to

292
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: rebound and get a lot of size there in the middle.

293
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean, goodness, gracious, Yukon's scoring margin in the paint

294
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: in this tournament is plus one eight team. They're out

295
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: scoring opponents in the paint one ninety eight to eighty.

296
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's gonna really struggle to defend that inside,

297
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: and I think Klington's gonna have a big game.

298
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you very well could be correct on that one,

299
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: because he's been sensational, especially the last game against Illinois.

300
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: I would just hope that he doesn't either block or effect.

301
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, math is a little fuzzy, but like

302
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: eighty one Illinois shots, I would say in the ballpark

303
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: of what he did last game, you know, it seemed

304
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: like it where he had about five blocks, but he

305
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: changed so many shots because they're like, hey, let's just

306
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: keep attacking the rim on this clinging guy.

307
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: That's a great strategy.

308
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: Good lord, I hope Alabama isn't at dumb like Illinois was.

309
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 5: Hey.

310
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: BETMGM has all the action for every sports fan, whether

311
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: you love to wager on game winning touchdowns, home runs,

312
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920

348
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: of the March Madness action here. Now listen. This might

349
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 4: sound negative, but it's just the truth. Watching the first

350
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 4: half of the Iowa Yukon Women's semi final was one

351
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 4: of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

352
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 4: It was freaking brutal, missed layups, Iowa had nine turnovers,

353
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: just some of the sloppiest basketball I've ever seen. And

354
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: I started thinking about that, and I'm like, you know,

355
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: it's gonna sound incredibly negative, and I'm gonna sound like

356
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: a hater to some people, and some people are gonna

357
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: think I'm saying things that I'm not saying at all,

358
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: like I'm down on women's basketball as a whole, which

359
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 4: I'm not. And it just got me thinking, I'm like,

360
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 4: you should be able to call a spade a spade.

361
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: You don't have to dwell on it, but just don't

362
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 4: sugarcoat it. And if we're talking about equality, it's exactly

363
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: what it sounds like if you would say the same

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: thing about the men. And I'll give you an example

365
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: that Yukon Illinois first half was rough.

366
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was twenty nine to twenty three.

367
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

368
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: If you would say that, like, man, that was a

369
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 4: rough first half, why wouldn't you say the same thing

370
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: about the women If you aren't, that is an equality,

371
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: And again, you don't have to dwell on it, but

372
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 4: just don't sugarcoat it. That was freaking brutal. It got

373
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 4: going better in the second half, but man, that first

374
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: half that's a torture video right there. If you did

375
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: something wrong, it's like, hey, you better eat your vegetables.

376
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make it Rewatch that first half of the

377
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 4: yukont Iowa game.

378
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: That was awful.

379
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

380
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: Look, there's been stinkers in a lot of sports that

381
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 6: I love. Look, women's college basketball doesn't.

382
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: Do it for me. It never has.

383
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 6: I am aware that is becoming more and more and

384
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 6: more palatable to a wider base of people. And I

385
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 6: watched the entire game last night, and I don't think

386
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 6: it proves anything anything to me personally. I enjoyed it

387
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 6: about the same as I normally do. You know, whether

388
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 6: it's the first half or the second half. I'm just

389
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 6: not as into it as I am the men's game.

390
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 6: It's just how it's always been for me. And by

391
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 6: the way, this isn't a sexist remark, because I love

392
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 6: women's volleyball. I watched that more than I would ever

393
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 6: watch men's volleyball. I married a women's volleyball player, for

394
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 6: crying out loud. I love the sport. I love women's tennis.

395
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 6: I like it a lot better than I like men's tennis.

396
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 6: I like women's soccer better than I like men's soccer. Like,

397
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: there's plenty of sports that do it for me more

398
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 6: from you know, on the on the playing field with

399
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 6: the women than it does with the men.

400
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: But basketball is in one of those games.

401
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 6: And like I said, there are plenty of sports that

402
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: I'm interested in where they can be absolute stinkers. Do

403
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 6: you remember it was like two years ago Colts Denver

404
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: Thursday night football.

405
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: It was like a twelve thirteen.

406
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 4: I was there. Yes, I bet the under. That's the

407
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: only way it was nice.

408
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: It was a historically terrible primetime football game, Like historically

409
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 6: terrible Russell Wilson.

410
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 3: We're expecting so much to his earlier this season. I

411
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 3: was like, oh, what a terrible game.

412
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: Anyways, my point being, yeah, look, it doesn't matter if

413
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 6: you're into a sport. It doesn't matter if you're not.

414
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if it's women, it doesn't matter if

415
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 6: it's men. If it stinks, it stinks, And sometimes regardless

416
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 6: of the sport, it stinks.

417
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: The first half between Iowa and Yukon was a terrible watch.

418
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 6: And that is for anybody who's a fan of women's

419
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 6: college basketball or not a fan of it was it

420
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 6: was difficult to watch that.

421
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a different sport and I have a very

422
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: unique perspective of this. So in another life, before I

423
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: did this what we're doing now, it was actually a

424
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: sports information director at multiple Division one college athletic programs.

425
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: The first place that I worked at was Florida Atlantic

426
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: and I was the women's basketball sid slash play by

427
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: play guy, So I traveled with the team and that

428
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: was my first I was twenty four years old. It

429
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: was my third job out of school. Basically I had

430
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: an internship and the one other job with minor league baseball,

431
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: and then I got the job at FAU. I also

432
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: did baseball, so I was doing men's sports as well,

433
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: but I got my first real glimpse of women's sports,

434
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: like up close and personal, traveling with the team, understanding

435
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: what Division one athletes go through on a daily basis,

436
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: and it was an eye opening experience. It's a very

437
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: different sport. It's played below the rim, it's not played

438
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: above the rim. The coaching is different, the scouting is different,

439
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: like everything that goes into it is. It's different. And

440
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: I know they're playing the same sport, but they are

441
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: not playing it in similar fashions. Again, it is played

442
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: below the rim, so there's a lot more cutting and

443
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: baseline stuff, and you know, it's just a different sport

444
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: and it can be a little bit difficult on the

445
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: eyes when those things aren't going well. I think the

446
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: other end of the coin is you give Gino Oriema

447
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: a ton of credit. I mean, he made Caitlyn Clark

448
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: look very ordinary for twenty minutes last night, and that

449
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: is no easy task. On the other end of the spectrum,

450
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: the equality thing you were talking about, Brian, I'll take

451
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: it a step further. Let's get on the refs for

452
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: that call last night at the end of the game, Like, yeah,

453
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 2: and it was the right call. Like we yell at

454
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: the refs just as much as we do in the

455
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: men's game. Well, let's yell at them in the women's game.

456
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: That was a terrible call in that spot. The game

457
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: had been officiated up to that point. Like, let's let

458
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: them play tonight because it was a very physical game.

459
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: As you guys talked about, the first half was kind

460
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: of a slog. They weren't calling a lot of fouls.

461
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: Yukon has a very thin rotation. If they called a

462
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: lot of fouls on Yukon, they probably wouldn't have been

463
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: then to finish the game. They only played six players.

464
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: They didn't call a whole lot on Iowa either, because

465
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: Paige Beckers, who's like one of the best scorers getting

466
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: into the paint, shot zero free throw attempts last night.

467
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: She didn't get to the line at all. So they

468
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: were calling the game very loosely, and then in that

469
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: spot they called it was a foul, but it was

470
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: kind of a nickel dimer and and I just I

471
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 2: hated that call in that spot to decide the game.

472
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: So if you want to be equal, let's also get

473
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: on the reps equally in the men's game as much

474
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: as we do in there in the women's game as

475
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: much you do in the men's game. Because I hated

476
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: that call last night in that spot.

477
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

478
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: It was brutal because what Yukon was down by a point. Yeah,

479
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 4: they get called for an illegal screen with three point

480
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 4: nine seconds to go, and that led to the end

481
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: right there. We'll never know Paige Beckers had the ball,

482
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: would you have just shot it from three or create?

483
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: We'll never know.

484
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: So we were robbed of a moment right there. And

485
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: like you said, Jared, technically a file but completely a

486
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 4: nickel dimer. You swallow the whistles in that situation, I think.

487
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 4: But I just look, I want the women's game to

488
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 4: put it this way. There are some people that are

489
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: trying this product for the first time. It's this restaurant

490
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 4: in town that I'm hearing so much about, and if

491
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 4: you go there and you have a bad meal, you

492
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: might not go back again. And so there's a lot

493
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: more writing on this, and I just don't want someone

494
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 4: to watch last night and say, man.

495
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: This sucks.

496
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: I'm not trying this again, because you go back the

497
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: previous games before last night UKHN taking on what USC

498
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: when it was Paige Beckers Juju Watkins high level basketball.

499
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 4: The first half of Iowa LSU was a freaking shootout.

500
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: It was fantastic. So that's my thing. It's not to

501
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: be like this game STIGs. It's it's just like that

502
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: was brutal. There's nothing wrong with saying that first half

503
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 4: last night in the Yukon Iowa game was brutal. But furthermore,

504
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: I don't want someone as if they're going to the

505
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 4: casino for the first time, and like, let me give

506
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 4: rouletta try and you lose your money, Like Roulette sucks.

507
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: I'm not playing this again. I don't want that to

508
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 4: happen to the women.

509
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love I love that comparison about the restaurants

510
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 6: because I even look at it like almost in the

511
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 6: world of cuisines, like if you say to yourself, well,

512
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 6: I'm not really a sushi fan, but I guess I

513
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: will try this restaurant because everybody says it's really good.

514
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: It's called Caitlin Clarks. Have you been anyways.

515
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: It's out in Iowa, miles from any nearest ocean, but

516
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try their sushi. And then you go and

517
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 6: you watch that first half and you're like, goodness, gracious,

518
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: my god.

519
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: What is going on?

520
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 6: Why have everybody? Well, look, I agree with you, it

521
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: will not be I'm not posting.

522
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: My Yelp review after that one.

523
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 6: I'm going to I'm going to bite my I'm gonna wait,

524
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 6: I'm gonna watch the final. I'm gonna watch more women's

525
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 6: college basketball next season because I like, Look, I like

526
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: the feeling when everybody's doing the same thing at the

527
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 6: same time and enjoying a shared experience. I like the

528
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 6: holidays for that reason, the fourth of July, the you know,

529
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 6: the wintertime holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah. You know, it's

530
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 6: when everybody's together doing the super Bowl, Right, When everybody's

531
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: together doing the same things, and you show up to

532
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 6: work the next week and everybody's talking about the same things,

533
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 6: it's interesting to me, right. And I think more now

534
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: than ever, people are tuned in and caring. And I

535
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 6: think Caitlin Clark is carrying a lot of water for

536
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 6: women's college basketball right now and they're trying to capitalize

537
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 6: on this and good for them. But people are caring

538
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 6: about this sport, and so am I. I want to

539
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 6: see them do better. I want to be more interested.

540
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 6: Last night was a poor representation because, like you said,

541
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 6: the rest let them play for the most part, and

542
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 6: it just was I mean, from just every aspect you

543
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 6: could ask for, it was. It was kind of a dud.

544
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 6: But look, the LSU game, the LSU Iowa game was fun. Uh,

545
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 6: this one, this one didn't meet I'm sure a lot

546
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 6: of people's expectations.

547
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 3: But we'll see what the final looks like. Now.

548
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think no matter how good of the game,

549
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: how good a game will be, there will always be

550
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: naysayers in this particular arena because of just that's just

551
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: the way the world works.

552
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

553
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I think women's basketball is always going to have

554
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: that glass ceiling because there's just there's just some people

555
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: out there who just don't care how good the product is.

556
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: They're just not going to watch. I'll say this from

557
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: a betting perspective, I prefer I prefer betting the women

558
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: to the men a million times, a million times out

559
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: of a million, and even two million times on Sunday

560
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: because it's an easier market to navigate. There's not as

561
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: many eyeballs on it, there's not as many people betting it,

562
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 2: and that allows for opportunities. I call it a softer market.

563
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: I know that sounds weird, like a you know, the

564
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: fluffy pillow you put your head down.

565
00:27:59,320 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: You know.

566
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: I'd rather have a much softer landing with a lot

567
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 2: of these numbers than the men, who a lot more attention,

568
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: a lot more eyeballs, a lot more people betting it.

569
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 2: The sportsbook spend more time curating those numbers and making

570
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: them a lot harder to beat. The women, they just

571
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: kind of throw the number up and they let the

572
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: market figure it out, and there's not a whole lot

573
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: of market to figure it out. So I love the

574
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: game itself because I have a deep rooted respect for

575
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: the players. Again, you want to talk about like overlooked

576
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 2: these women's basketball players. They're on buses going up and

577
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: down the country, all over and they don't get even

578
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: up one percent of the attention that the men's team

579
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: that the men's teams do. And then on the other hand,

580
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: you have to look past some of those difficulties with

581
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: the game. It is a tougher game to watch. Sometimes

582
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: it is not as artistically beautiful as dudes flying through

583
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: the air throwing dunks down. It's just it's a different game.

584
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: It's a little more I would call it scheme. And

585
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: if that scheme is thrown off by a really good coach,

586
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: say Gino Orima, it's gonna look like a really bad

587
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: product because they don't know what they're doing out there.

588
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: Because Gino's defense did a really good job throwing Caitlyn

589
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: Clark off her game for twenty minutes last night, and

590
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: even in the second half, she wasn't as gifted of

591
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: a score as you normally see. It was a little

592
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: bit more of a slog. But as Brian said at

593
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: the top of the segment, these games happened in the

594
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: men's sports all the freaking time, and it was just

595
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: one of those clunkers.

596
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: Hey you talk about artistic beauty. Oh yeah, that's something

597
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: that you know, really registered with me because we have

598
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: someone on this show that is the walking, breathing definition

599
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: of that. With some artistic beauty to throw your way.

600
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: This is the one and only Isaac blowing.

601
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 8: Crime, especially on the radio. I s the chisel jaw,

602
00:29:54,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 8: the granted features long ten, a flowing mainlike air.

603
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 9: What the hell is the matter with you?

604
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: No time picturing Fabia.

605
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm telling you anything's possible in radio, folks, Anything's

606
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 8: possible in theater of the mind.

607
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 9: Anything is possible.

608
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 8: In the NCAA tournament, and in talking about Iowa was

609
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 8: a victory over Yukon. Iowa will be facing for the

610
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 8: national championship on Sunday, South Carolina after they knocked off

611
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 8: NC State on Friday night of the Final Four at

612
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: Cleveland seventy eight to fifty nine during Group to thirty seven,

613
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 8: and oh advanced to their third national championship game in

614
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 8: seven years. They will face Iowa after their seventy one

615
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 8: sixty nine win over Yukon. Caitlin Clark twenty one points,

616
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 8: nine rebounds and seven assists.

617
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 9: In the NBA on Friday.

618
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 8: Night, the Phoenix Suns jumped out to a fifteen to

619
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 8: nothing lead beat Minnesota ninety seven to eighty seven. The

620
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: Dallas Mavericks defeated Golden State what await to what six

621
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,240

Speaker 3: Yeah.

649
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: I was joking around, So I did a fill in

650
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: show for Milwaukee yesterday morning, and I was basically saying, Man,

651
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 4: the Bucks stink right now, right they had lost four

652
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 4: of five games, and I jokingly said, are we going

653
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 4: Raptors money line tonight?

654
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: You know the way Milwaukee's playing?

655
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: Good?

656
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: Lord.

657
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: I was just kidding around.

658
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: And lo and behold they lose outright, and of course,

659
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 4: you know, local radio get a bunch of pushback like.

660
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: Oh, no, Bucks are great, They're just a little banged up.

661
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: It's fine.

662
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: They'll crank it up and maybe go sixteen to oh

663
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 4: come postseason time, you know. And then they go out

664
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: and lose to a team that had lost fifteen straight.

665
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 4: I know, Giannis didn't play.

666
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 5: They lost fifteen in a row.

667
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 4: So you lose if you're the Bucks to the Wizards.

668
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers questions your professionalism on the road. You come back,

669
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: you lose at home to the Grizzlies, and then you

670
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: go and lose to the Raptors. My gosh, what is

671
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 4: going on in Milwaukee right now?

672
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: That's rough.

673
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 6: I mean, especially when you think about all of the

674
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 6: moves that they've made to keep Jannis happy and to

675
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 6: keep this nucleus together. I hope for Milwaukee fans sake

676
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 6: that they pull it all back together and they get

677
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 6: this thing right, because right now it's not and it

678
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 6: doesn't matter. Look, it doesn't matter how hard you try.

679
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 6: Sometimes it just doesn't work. And it can be year

680
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 6: to year in the NBA, Like you remember when Kyrie

681
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 6: and Harden and Durant all assembled it was like, you know,

682
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 6: part of the Avengers coming together for one of the

683
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 6: movies out in Brooklyn that lasted for a cup of

684
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 6: coffee and then everybody goes, yeah, never mind that sucked.

685
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 6: We're just gonna we're gonna go ways, We're gonna hit

686
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 6: the whole dusty trail. And they all blew apart and

687
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 6: it never amounted to anything. Now, Jannis obviously has some

688
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 6: credentials to his name, and the Bucks have had success,

689
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 6: but I mean, this, this, this can fail. There's no

690
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 6: such thing as too good to fail in the NBA

691
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 6: because just around the corner there's another super team waiting

692
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 6: to take it down.

693
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: Doesn't it sound a little similar to what we're dealing

694
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: with in the college basketball ranks. I mean, it's the Celtics,

695
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: and I know the West is a little bit tougher,

696
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: but is there anybody in the East that's beating the Celtics?

697
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: Like I know? And it's wild because it's like Yukon

698
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: and the Sweet sixteam was in Boston and now it's

699
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: the Celtics, and yeah, you know, it's like the Northeast,

700
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 2: the Hartford, Connecticut to you know, I ninety five contingent

701
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: there with Boston and Yukon. But it just seems like,

702
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: put the Celtics in the finals against one of these

703
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: Western contenders and let's roll the ball out. I just

704
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: especially now at the Knicks losing Julius Ran for the

705
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 2: rest of sas like, I don't know where that other

706
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: East contender is coming from. But I guess things have

707
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: surprised me before in the NBA.

708
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, well said man, It sure does seem like that.

709
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: It would be a major upset if the Celtics don't

710
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 4: come out of the East. Hey, we've got Jared Smith

711

Speaker 4: FSR Betting analyst Rich Ornberger, Penn State All American. I'm

Speaker 5: Is that what we're looking at over here? Jared Smith?

715
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: Possible to top last week?

716
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 5: It was at least two to one? Did he get

717
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 5: up to how what was the payout last week?

718
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: It was almost ten ten to one? Last week was

719
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: I will we'll recap it because this week's parlay is like,

720
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: you know, a drop in the bucket compared to that,

721
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: because it's just not as many games left. But last

722
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: week was last week was freaking off unbelievable.

723
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to short change you. I didn't realize the

724
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 4: payout was that that bit. So he'll deal detail last

725
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: week and then ride the momentum into this week. It

726

736
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 4: Okay, mister successful parlay platter prognosticator Jared Smith almost a

737
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 4: ten to one payout last week.

738
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 5: What do you have in store for us this week?

739
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just soak it in for a moment,

740
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: because we don't win these very often. I think maybe

741
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: in the two years or done this show, maybe have one,

742
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: two or three. We usually take really big shots, but

743
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: the reason why this one was special is just because

744
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: it was all four lee games, picking correctly all four

745
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: final four teams, and it was just bang bang, bang

746
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: bang two days of it. And then we get to

747
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: that NC State game at the end, which was the

748
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: only you know, underdog we picked. And I'll be honest,

749
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: the second half of that game, I there was not

750
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: a one moment in the second half where I did

751
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: not think NZ State was winning like that. That's how

752
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: confident I was with the wolf Pach. So here we go.

753
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 2: How can we follow up a ten to one four

754
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: team parlay with four different games in the LAIT eight. Well,

755
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: not a whole lot of options this week, guy, So

756
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna tighten it up. We're gonna try

757
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: to get another winner out there for you with a

758
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: much shorter payout. We're gonna do a two team same

759
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 2: game parlot. We're gonna do the perdue NC State game.

760
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna put Lance Jones to record one steal in

761
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: the game. He has done this in eleven straight games

762
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: dating back to the end of February. He is the

763
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: reigning Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year with Southern

764
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: Illinois last season transferred to Curdue. He's been fantastic on

765
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: the defensive perimeter. Also is a very clunch shot maker.

766
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: I love Lance Jones's game. He's gonna be huge tonight,

767
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: and then we'll take Zach Edy. The big fella will

768
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: go forty plus so over thirty nine and a half

769
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: points plus rebounds. I mean, goodness, gracious, the dude is

770
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: averaging thirty and sixteen in the tournament. That's well above forty.

771
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 2: And you just look at this game. I just I

772
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: don't know how DJ Burns or anyone on NC State

773
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: is gonna match up with Edie in the middle. He

774
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 2: might have twenty points and twenty rebounds in this game.

775
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: So this is a two leg same game parlay. I

776
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: love that MGM lets has put these together because to me,

777
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: Lance Jones to get one steel is like a layup

778
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: and then Zach Edy the forty plus points and rebounds.

779
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: That's the tough part of this parlay. But plus one

780
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: twenty over at bet MGM not a bad payout considering

781
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: we're getting basically one leg for free. It's like a

782
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: free bingo square with Lance Jones on the steel and

783
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: we're getting Zach Edy. In my opinion, plus one twenty

784
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 2: to go over forty points plus rebound.

785
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: What do we think, bro?

786
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: Look, First off, congrats on going from a ten to

787
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 4: one payout to just plus one twenty. And I'm being

788
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 4: honest here, right, because some people are like, you know,

789
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 4: I won the ten to one long shot, let me.

790
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 5: Try nine thousand to one.

791
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 4: I'm want a hot But seriously, it's smart to dial

792
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: it back. Not every opportunity is a ten to one,

793
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 4: you know, opportunity. Sometimes you do have to dial it back.

794
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 4: That's a good thing.

795
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: Ye appreciate that.

796
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 6: Working with Krakenberger last will Pill last week I filled

797
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: in for Schwartz on the other show. Okay, you know

798
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 6: what was fun about that chat when we got to

799
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 6: talking parlays was he was like, units are so important.

800
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: And that's something that a lot of people.

801
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 6: Don't see is the discipline in how much is wagered

802
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 6: on these parlays from Jared, Like every week it's the

803
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 6: same amount.

804
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 3: It's a sprinkling, it's a consistency.

805
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 6: So when you hit that ten to one, it feels

806
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 6: good because you're a discipline better.

807
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: It's dude, this is fun.

808
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 6: I was so pumped when I saw that parlay hit

809
00:39:58,760 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 6: last week.

810
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 3: It was like a team the group dex with Thuts.

811
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: It was.

812
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: And you're right about the parlays and Cracks fantastic at

813
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 2: that because he's not a big proponent of parlays. Obviously,

814
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: we do the show. We know people like the bet parlays.

815
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: That's why bet MGM wants us to do this segment.

816
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: And I understand why. I think this segment has always

817
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: been an opportunity for us to show you how to

818
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: bet parlays properly and not to just throw a bunch

819
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 2: of stuff out there and hope that it sticks. We

820
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: do one every single week. We're consistent with it every

821
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 2: single week. Sometimes they're fifty to one, sometimes they're plus

822
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 2: one twenty, but it's always consistent.

823
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

824
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 4: It is pretty sweet if the last leg of your

825
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 4: parlay happens to start off badly. That wasn't a great

826
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: start for NC State against Duke last week, and you're thinking,

827
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: all right, it's probably not gonna come through, and then

828
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: it does. Oh it's a beautiful thing right there. Absolutely, Hey,

829
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: comeing up next. How important is the pace in this game?

830
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 4: We will dive in around the corner, you know, let's

831
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 4: talk strategy.

832
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: Here.

833
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 4: Huh, let's get out the protractors and the bar crafts.

834
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 4: Let's dissect this bad boy over here. Yeah, we've got

835
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 4: NC State against Purdue. Okay, so here's my question, which

836
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: pace would favor NC State more?

837
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 5: Okay?

838
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: Where I think of it this way, maybe it's not

839
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 4: as much pace as it is transition defense. What would

840
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 4: be ideal for NC State is if you play great

841
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: transition defense and you don't allow Purdue anything easy in transition,

842
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 4: because when Purdue is able to run and they can

843
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 4: do it, they're that much more deadly er right where

844
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: you've got Edie in the half court game. But if

845
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 4: you look, if Braden Smith pushes the pace you look

846
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 4: to score, get some easy opportunities in transition. A lot

847
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 4: of times they present themselves and sometimes Purdue is just

848
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 4: not willing to go down that road. I think NC

849
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 4: State's got to play great transition defense to limit the

850
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 4: easy baskets, which is obvious. But it's funny, right because

851
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 4: well then you still have strength playing through Zach Edy.

852
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 4: So but but again, let's let's start first things first.

853
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 4: It's good to play solid transition defense and limit easy opportunities.

854
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 5: No one would say it's not so I.

855
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 4: Think it starts with that for NC State, But then

856
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 4: you still have to defend this guy, Zach Edy on

857
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 4: back to back wouldn't awards not the easiest thing in

858
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 4: the world, But you can't allow you got to take

859
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: something away. And if you're allowing easy transition buckets and

860
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 4: you have to defend Edie, it's not gonna work for you.

861
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

862
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's a great call. You have to slow

863
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 6: down Purdue. You have to make this a little bit

864
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 6: more of a half court game. You have to defend Edie. Well,

865
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 6: I'm saying these things like a checklist, like okay, well right,

866
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 6: well we got branches, yeah, get out or just check

867
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 6: check check.

868
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's not gonna be.

869
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 6: As simple as picking up and walking out of a

870
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 6: grocery store Kroger's, Vaughn's Safe Way with produce. I promise

871
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 6: you that. But if you can somehow put a stop

872
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 6: to their transition offense, if you can somehow force them

873
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 6: to play a half court game, if you can d

874
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 6: up using your big who really only started playing significant

875
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 6: minutes late in the season for NC State, Mohammed Diara. Yeah,

876
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 6: to d up Edie, which is a tall task, and

877
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 6: I do mean that both figuratively and literally, because Edie's

878
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: a giant.

879
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: Good luck there. If you can do all of.

880
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 6: That, yeah, then you have a significant chance set at

881
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 6: a huge upset here.

882
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

883
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned Diara because we were on his

884
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: rebounds prop member last week. Yep, and he had fifty.

885
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: I mean. And Marquette's a different animal, right, I'm not

886
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: talking about the Duke game. I'm talking about the Marquette game.

887
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 2: Marquette's a very different animal because they just don't have

888
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: as much size whereas obviously Purdue does. So the thing

889
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 2: about Purdue is they lost to Ohio State about midway

890
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: through February. That was the last time that they lost

891
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: or other than the Big Den Tournament. But you know,

892
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: their last real big loss, and it just you look

893
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 2: at the numbers in that game and then you look

894
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: at what they've done since. They've been very slow, one

895
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: of the slowest temples in the country actually two hundred

896
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: and fifty sixth in tempo since February eighteenth, which is

897
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 2: the day before or the day after they lost that

898
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: game in Ohio State. So their last like real, oh goodness,

899
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 2: gracious kind of loss. They've really played slow since and

900
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: and they're not a very fast tempo team to begin with.

901
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: And the thing that's really unique about their game this

902
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 2: year is I think they're more suited to play fast

903
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: because of Braden Smith. I mean, he's eleventh nationally in

904
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: his history. He is one of the better creators in

905
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: the country. When I w Perdue this year. The reason

906
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: why I was higher on Purdue this year coming into

907
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 2: the tournament is because they're much more comfortable in those

908
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: tight moments handling the ball. Last year it was all freshman. Basically,

909
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: they added Lance Jones, as we mentioned, the Missouri Valley

910
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year, gave some depth on the perimeter,

911
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 2: and then Braden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer, who were freshmen

912
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 2: on that team last year that lost to fairly Digginson. Well,

913
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: now they are sophomores, more experienced, They're more comfortable coming

914
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: off of ball screens. Edie is more athletic. They look

915
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: more suited to run if they need to run. The

916
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: question is how do they handle DJ Burns because he

917
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: is a really difficult task in the post. So in

918
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 2: transition I think he's not very good because he's not

919
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: very fleet of foot. But in the half court game,

920
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: in the post up game. I mean, he ate Kyle

921
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: Philipowski for lunch eighteen points on thirteen post up sets

922
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 2: against Philipowski, who fouled out of the game. And listen,

923
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 2: I know Zach EDI's big and tallt so is Kyle Philipowski.

924
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: So I think it is a very very interesting matchup

925
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: in the post between Burns and Edie. Edie I think

926
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: has the straight up post up offensive game set that

927
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: you might like, but Burns has this ability. He's like

928
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: a nimble polar bear out there, like he can find

929
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: ways to get into the paint and make it really

930
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 2: hard for you. So obviously, ANSWER State has to make three.

931
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 2: He's no doubt about that when you're basically double digit underdog.

932
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 2: But I think DJ Burns in the paint can give

933
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: Zach Edy a bit of a bit of a tussle.

934
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: And if you get the big man in foul trouble,

935
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: well then it makes things even more interesting.

936
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: I think it's so important for NC State to force

937
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: turnovers tonight because listen, you're not gonna be swatting Zach

938
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: Edy shots left and right now. Okay, the guy is

939
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 4: a skyscraper, you know, And it reminds me of remember

940
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 4: Carl Malone with the Utah Jazz. I know, you do

941
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 4: the male man, but the way he played defense. He

942
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 4: was a pretty good defender, but he would swat down

943
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 4: on the ball in the post. He wasn't a shot blocker,

944
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 4: but he was really good at forcing turnovers. And that's

945
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 4: gonna be really important for NC State tonight because if

946
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 4: they play through Zach Edy, you're not gonna be blocking

947
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,479
Speaker 4: his shots. Maybe they can swat down on the ball

948
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: force a few turnovers. If you can turnover Braden Smith

949
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 4: just hopefully having an Iowa women's basketball first half with

950
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 4: the nine turnovers, there's something like that where NC State

951
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 4: is forcing a lot of turnovers. We talk about takeaways

952
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 4: in football all the time, Forcing fumbles and interceptions very

953
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 4: important in basketball. We've talked about Iowa State in men's

954
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 4: college hoops this year. They've done a phenomenal job of

955
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 4: forcing turnovers. This is a big part of their success.

956
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 4: I think that's really important for NC State tonight. And

957
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 4: then obviously just outside shooting. You know, what is it

958
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: gonna look like in both games collectively? Is NC State

959
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: noticeably better shooting from distance than Purdue?

960
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 5: I mean, if they are, that's a big deal.

961
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 4: Who's the team that just says, you know, we're not

962
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 4: gonna shoot a bunch of threes? Is it you con

963
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 4: Maybe they just play inside more than not. So I'm

964
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 4: really curious to see how the three point shooting goes,

965
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 4: especially in this NC State Perdue game. But also Matt

966
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 4: Painter talked about it the Purdue head coach. When we

967
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 4: don't turn over the ball, we don't lose. So what

968
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 4: does NC State need to do? They need to force turnovers.

969
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 6: When you are a significant underdog taking on a significant favorite,

970
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 6: what you have to do. I mean this is this

971
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 6: is very generalized, but I'll make it more specific in

972
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 6: a second. But what you have to do is you

973
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 6: have to take the favorite, the dominant opponent, out of

974
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 6: their game. You have to find a way to make

975
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 6: what seems so ordinary to them feel emotional. Now, what

976
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 6: do I mean about that? Like Zach Eaedy, he makes

977
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 6: exceptional basketball look easy. Right, he's under the hoop, he

978
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 6: plays great defense, You feed him the ball, he puts

979
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 6: it in the back. It's all very simple feel. It

980
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 6: feels like he's playing with middle schoolers out there. Sometimes

981
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 6: when we're talking about some of the best basketball players

982
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 6: on the planet, at least in the college realm up

983
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 6: against this guy, it's like waves breaking against rocks.

984
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: Well, guess what, Sometimes you gotta break a rock. You know.

985
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 6: In hockey, they call him enforcers, they call him goons.

986
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 6: They send him on the ice to get inside the

987
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 6: head of the star player, to maybe pick a fight,

988
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 6: to nudge somebody.

989
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 3: And c State's got to play a little dirty here.

990
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 6: I'm not talking about hurting anybody. I'm not talking about

991
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 6: getting anybody on the injured list, you know, especially if

992
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 6: you have an opportunity to see the boiler Makers in

993
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 6: a final, and that's gonna be really good for NCAA basketball,

994
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 6: and there's gonna be a lot of fan interest. But

995
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 6: I'm talking about throwing elbows into rip caages. I'm talking

996
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 6: about trash talking. I'm talking about making what's ordinary seem

997
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 6: harder somehow. For Perdue, you gotta get out there and

998
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 6: get inside some people's heads. You gotta ruffle some feathers,

999
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 6: even if it's not your personality, even if it gets

1000
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 6: you you out of your game a little bit by

1001
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 6: talking some stuff. You gotta go out there and say

1002
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 6: something about somebody's sister. You gotta go out there and

1003
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 6: you got to hit somebody a little bit low, you

1004
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Every once in a while, you

1005
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 6: gotta go five on two at the bottom of a

1006
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 6: pile in football. In basketball, you don't get away with

1007
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 6: as much. You don't get away with as much, but

1008
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 6: you got you gotta do something dirty to to just

1009
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 6: get inside. We're here for business. We're not your friends.

1010
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 6: We're not your friends. This is for the Final four,

1011
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 6: this is for our chance to take a bite at

1012
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 6: the apple. Screw you. You gotta make it personal sometimes,

1013
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 6: so in my mind, the only way NC State this

1014
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 6: feels very different from Yukon Alabama because I think Alabama,

1015
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 6: if they're.

1016
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 3: Shoot or shoot, they have the skill to beat Yukon

1017
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 3: straight up. If their offense shows up.

1018
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 6: With NC State, they don't have a chance unless they

1019
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 6: get Purdue out of their game. So they got to

1020
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 6: make this game personal, and Perdue has to feel like

1021
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 6: this is going to be the second half of their

1022
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 6: lives if they're going to win, if they're gonna escape

1023
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 6: with their lives. That's how much pressure you have to

1024
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 6: put on the boiling Makers to get a win. If

1025
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 6: you're the wolf Pack.

1026
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: I think that's on Kevin Keats and I'll be honest,

1027
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: I don't think Rick Barnes did a good job of

1028
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: that in the Elite eight. You know why. So there's

1029
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: two strategies, and it's kind of like how you're how

1030
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: teams are trying to defend Kaitlyn Clark. You have two options.

1031
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: You either defend Caitlyn Clark straight up, one on one.

1032
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: You let her get her thirty thirty five points, and

1033
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 2: you make sure that the other players are off their game.

1034
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: They don't get those wide open looks because you're not

1035
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: doubling off of Kitlan Clark. Rick Barnes had that decision

1036
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 2: to make against Zach Edy in the Elite Eight, and

1037
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: he said, Okay, we're just gonna let Zach do whatever

1038
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 2: he wants. And whatever he wants is forty points and

1039
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 2: twenty rebounds, which is basically the stat line, and we're

1040
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: gonna make sure that none of the other players on Purdue,

1041
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 2: most notably the three point shooters, because let's be honest,

1042
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: that's Perdue's game. It's drive, it's kick, it's dump it

1043
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: down to the big man, collapse and they have like

1044
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 2: one of the top open three rates in the country

1045
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,959
Speaker 2: because everyone just collapses on Edy and Edie just kicks

1046
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 2: it out. And maybe that's why we're gonna bet the

1047
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 2: assist prop a little bit later on Zach. We'll get

1048
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 2: that get to it. I think Kevin Keats has to

1049
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: make that decision. Are you gonna take the Rick Barnes approach.

1050
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna not double Zach Edy, You're gonna let him

1051
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: just go for all for forty points. I don't think

1052
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: that's the right approach, right because you guys just said it,

1053
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: and Rich I think you nailed it. Comfortability. If Purdue

1054
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: knows it's easy to just dump it down and let

1055
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: Zach Edy get a high percentage shot, that's easy. I

1056
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: think the strategy, in my opinion, is to not let

1057
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: Zach Edy beat you. Make one of these other shooters,

1058
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: either Jones or Lawyer or Braden Smith, make one of

1059
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 2: those guys step up in the big game and knock

1060
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 2: down the big shots.

1061
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeap.

1062
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: That is how I would defend Purdue tonight. Now that's

1063
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: how I thought Tennessee was gonna defend Perdue because I

1064
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 2: bet all the three point props for Purdue over and

1065
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,479
Speaker 2: I bet the Zach Edy assist prop to the over,

1066
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: and all of it lost because Rick Barnes was just like, Oh,

1067
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: we're just gonna let Zach Edy go off for forty

1068
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 2: and twenty. Yeah, you lost the game. Rike probably not

1069
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: the best strategy. I think Kevin Keats has to change

1070
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: things up tonight. Do not let Ze make Muhammad d

1071
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: r throw body after body after body on Zach Edy.

1072
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 2: Make one of these other shooters for Purdue show you

1073
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 2: that they can step up in a big game. I

1074
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: don't know if they can, because everybody was bricking shots

1075
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: against Tennessee if it wasn't for Zach Edy and Rick

1076
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 2: Barnes's soft approach defensively, I think kind of season this

1077
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 2: game tonight and not Purdue. So we'll see how Kevin

1078
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 2: Keats plays it. He's pushed all the right buttons down

1079
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 2: the stretch, but this is not an easy task tonight.

1080
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 5: No, I totally agree with you.

1081
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 4: And it's funny because sometimes we think of football and

1082
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 4: basketball totally differently, and we shouldn't. Where what do we

1083
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 4: talk about with Bill Belichick all the time is he's

1084
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 4: not gonna let you beat him doing what you do best, right,

1085
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 4: And it makes all the sense in the world in football,

1086
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 4: and then sometimes we forget about that in basket ball,

1087
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 4: and we're like, well, maybe it makes sense to guard

1088
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 4: the other guys, the role players, more than Zach Edy.

1089
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 4: Just let Edi get what he gets, but we're not

1090
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 4: letting Fletcher Lawyer get good looks, you.

1091
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 5: Know, And I just disagree with that.

1092
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 4: You would basically be saying in football, if the Patriots

1093
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 4: are taking on the Dolphins, would it makes sense for

1094
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 4: Belichick to say, let Tyreek Hill go crazy if he

1095
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,479
Speaker 4: has one hundred and fifty yards receiving, great, But we're

1096
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 4: not letting Durham smythe.

1097
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 5: Would at all.

1098
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1099
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you double Zach Edy and you make

1100
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: the role players step up big as if they aren't

1101
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 4: role players in the biggest moment.

1102
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 5: That makes way more sense to.

1103
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 6: Me, perfectly put, perfectly put, and it's one hundred percent true. Look,

1104
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 6: being in the locker room with Belichick is no different

1105
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 6: than being in the locker room with Gino Arima, Right.

1106
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 6: I mean, what what he did with those girls against

1107
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 6: or women against I Will last night is no different

1108
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 6: than what I experienced with Balichick preparing for the New

1109
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 6: York Jets, or for the Buffalo Bills, or for any

1110
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 6: team we're facing. Because guess what, when you have a

1111
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 6: special player. It's your job to stop that special player.

1112
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 6: That's it. And you personally, when your team has a

1113
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 6: special player, your job is to give them the best

1114
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 6: opportunity to win their matchups. And so how do you

1115
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 6: do that, Well, you create confusion, You change your offense,

1116
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 6: you game plan if you can, or defensively, if you

1117
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 6: have a special player in the defense, you can change

1118
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 6: things to help highlight their talents and hide their liabilities

1119
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 6: as well. And that's the reason why you saw Caitlin

1120
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 6: Clark struggle for a half last night, because that's what

1121
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 6: you do.

1122
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 3: Sports.

1123
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 6: They're not simple, they're very complex. But when you distill

1124
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 6: it to the root causes of losses, usually it's because

1125
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 6: a star player played really well.

1126
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: So how do you limit that?

1127
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 6: Well, guess what, if I'm facing Purdue, I'm trying to

1128
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 6: look at Zach Eaty, not just not just the player

1129
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 6: on the court, but holistically his personality, what makes him uncomfortable?

1130
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 6: What games did he struggle in?

1131
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 3: Why?

1132
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 6: And I'm attacking him all night long because guess what,

1133
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 6: that's your best chance. And guess what if you lose

1134
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 6: going after Zach Edy, Nobody's gonna be like, oh bad

1135
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 6: game plan?

1136
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's not easy. It's

1137
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 2: not an easy decision that Kevin Keats has, There's no

1138
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 2: doubt about that. It's just it's such a tough ask

1139
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 2: because even if you throw bodies at him, it might

1140
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 2: still not work. And if you were gonna rewind, right,

1141
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: if we just you know, time travel back to Sunday

1142
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: morning and I tell you Zach Edy has forty points

1143
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: and sixteen re that's the only stat I tell you,

1144
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: Zach Edy has forty points and sixteen rebounds against Tennessee.

1145
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 2: Who are you betting before the game. You're betting Purdue.

1146
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 2: Whereas if I say, Fletcher Lawyer hit five threes mm hmm,

1147
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, well, what else happened in the

1148
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,959
Speaker 2: game that because that's only fifteen points? Like what else

1149
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: happened in the game? That allows me to feel comfortable

1150
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: betting one side or the other. But if I were

1151
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 2: to tell you one stat line before the game, that

1152
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 2: Perdue game, and I said, yeah, Zaki Dy's got forty points,

1153
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: you're running the window to bet more on Perdue. So

1154
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: that's the mindset, right. But here's the problem for Kevin Keats.

1155
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: Matt Painter. I know he's had a bad rap. I

1156
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 2: think there's a different team, and he has the ability

1157
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 2: to throw a curveball as well. And here's the curveball.

1158
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden they start doubling Zach Edy,

1159
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 2: well how do you get out of a double team

1160
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: pick and roll? And guess who's outside the top two

1161
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 2: fifty nationally defending the pick and roll? Because DJ Burns is,

1162
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 2: like you know, not exactly the most nimble out there.

1163
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 2: It's the wolf Pack. So if they all of a

1164
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: sudden start doubling Zach Edy in the post, well then

1165
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: you bring Zach Edy out of the post, you bring

1166
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: him up top, You let Braden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer

1167
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 2: run the high pick and roll, and NC State really

1168
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: struggles defending the pick and roll. So I think there's

1169
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 2: going to be a little bit of a chess match here.

1170
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: But to me, plan A has to be double, triple, quadruple.

1171
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: Get the guy in the hot dog stand up top

1172
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: to just throw bodies at Zach Edy and just make

1173
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: you're right, make him feel uncomfortable. Because the easy plan

1174
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: A for Purdue has to be get Zach dye the ball.

1175
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: So I think you take that away and you see

1176
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 2: how Purdue counters and then Kevin Keats and Matt Painter

1177
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: it's gonna be this chess match throughout the night. Who

1178
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: kind of blinks first and which coach has the better

1179
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 2: ace up their sleeve. Maybe it's Lawyer or you know,

1180
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: Smith knocking down a bunch of shots. But I think

1181
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 2: NC State's got to play perfect defensively on Eadie. Let

1182
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 2: Purdue then adjust, and then Kevin Keats has to adjust back.

1183
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. Of the two games, this is the

1184
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: more intriguing to me because I think there is a

1185
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: little bit more chess match going on, Whereas Alabama we

1186
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 2: kind of know there's really only one way that they

1187
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: can win the game against.

1188
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 5: You gun, right, no doubt.

1189
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 4: I'll finish it with another football comparison, right, Why not?

1190
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 4: Is I think changing up your looks makes a lot

1191
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: of sense, where if you're in the NFL, let's say,

1192
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 4: and you're just like we're playing nickel the whole time,

1193
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 4: just nickel, the other offense is going to figure that

1194
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 4: out and they're going to start to pick that apart.

1195
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 4: So I think NC State defensively, and I'm not saying

1196
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 4: anything that Keats doesn't understand. He knows more than I'll

1197
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 4: ever know about basketball, but I think changing up your

1198
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 4: looks makes a lot of sense because you don't want

1199
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 4: Lawyer and the shooters to get going, so you don't

1200
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 4: want to just be like we're doubling Zachiaty every freaking time.

1201
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: I think predominantly that makes the most sense. But I

1202
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 4: think there is value in changing up your looks, and

1203
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 4: hopefully when you change it up, you throw a few

1204
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 4: curveballs you can confuse and create some turnovers, which is

1205
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 4: vitally important. Tonight, Hey from Live Betting the player Props.

1229
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 4: Let's talk strategy here, shall we. There's something I hate.

1230
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm curious if you guys see it the same way.

1231
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 4: So this applies to all basketball, whether it's the NBA,

1232
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 4: college men's, women's whatever. Okay, the same scenario can present itself.

1233
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 4: So Iowa last night in women's basketball, they had the

1234
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,479
Speaker 4: lead on Yukon. They had the ball up by one.

1235
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 4: Iowa's up by one point. They have the ball with

1236
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 4: about thirty eight seconds to go. Okay, so what is

1237
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 4: Iowa do? They're like, let's run clock and let's run clock,

1238
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 4: and let's run some more clock.

1239
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 5: And then Caitlin.

1240
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 4: Clark with about nine seconds left in the shot clock.

1241
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 4: She's in scramble mode. She drives, she passes, the other

1242
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 4: girl passes, turnover. You don't even get a good look,

1243
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 4: and I'm just sitting there, like, just run your offense.

1244
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 4: Run your freaking offense, get a good shot. Don't worry

1245
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 4: about running every single second off the clock. Just move

1246
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 4: the ball, set up a good shot, take the good shot.

1247
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 4: I don't know how many times teams do this where

1248
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 4: they're like, let's run the clock down, as if that's

1249
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 4: more important than getting a good shot.

1250
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 5: You're only up by one point, run your.

1251
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 4: Offense instead of concerning yourself with the clock. How many

1252
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 4: times will we see this at the end of quarters

1253
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 4: or halves where you're just trying to run the clock

1254
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 4: all the way down, and how often do you get

1255
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 4: either a bad shot or no shot. I hate that

1256
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 4: where and that strategy, especially with Iowa, and it could

1257
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 4: have backfired because you're only up one and Yukon has

1258
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 4: the ball with plenty of time to score. Just get

1259
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 4: a good shot. Don't worry about running every second off.

1260
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 6: I Unless you're a team that practices these situations over

1261
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 6: and over and over again, and you are comfortable running

1262
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 6: that style of offense in those situations, I.

1263
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 3: Completely agree with you.

1264
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 6: If you're you're the type of team or the type

1265
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 6: of coach who likes to focus on playing with urgency

1266
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 6: during your practices when you're all by yourself and your gym.

1267
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 6: Do not go to your game court and think that

1268
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 6: your team is going to function well in those situational

1269
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 6: moments if you don't practice it enough. And I think

1270
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 6: that is a common blight on a lot of teams,

1271
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 6: is they get into these situations where it's like, okay, guys,

1272
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 6: we got to sustain this lead, so we're gonna switch

1273
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 6: it into this weird gear where we're trying to possess

1274
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 6: the basketball but not score, and all of your players

1275
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 6: on the floor, you know, they still have this adrenaline

1276
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 6: in this urgency that they're faced with, and they still

1277
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 6: want to do the thing that they've been doing for

1278
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 6: thirty eight minutes, and all of a sudden they got

1279
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 6: to turn it off. It's really difficult unless you practice

1280
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 6: it thoroughly. I would say maybe I will have that advantage,

1281
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 6: maybe that they they've been able to do that throughout

1282
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 6: their season, so they're better at it than other teams.

1283
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 6: But still it makes me, you, Brian, it makes me

1284
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 6: uncomfortable every time I see a team change their patterns

1285
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 6: and become more conservative and get away from their personality

1286
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 6: at the end of a game, because it just feels

1287
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 6: like a lot of times players they're they're not meeting

1288
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 6: the situation where it is.

1289
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many how many times do you see this

1290
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: in football?

1291
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

1292
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, up up a score late, Hey, let's just run

1293
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 2: out the clock. Let's run the ball. Let's run the ball.

1294
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, run the ball.

1295
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 2: Well, what if you're not a running team? That's right,

1296
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 2: Like you're you're basically giving the ball back to your opponent,

1297
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 2: and frankly it it usually backfires more than it doesn't,

1298
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 2: like rarely in that situation, will you ever? And you

1299
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: know how hard it is to sync up the clock

1300
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 2: perfectly so you are taking the ideal shot as the

1301
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 2: clock hits zero on the you know the shot clock.

1302
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 2: That is so hard to do that it's almost like

1303
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: you're trying to obtain perfection when in that particular situation,

1304
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 2: just a good possession is enough to get you through,

1305
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 2: especially when you're up one. If you're up two or

1306
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 2: even three, I understand it. If you're up three, I

1307
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 2: get it. There's no way we can lose here. All

1308
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 2: we can do.

1309
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 5: Is tie and go to overtime.

1310
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: If we have a really bad possession in the final minute,

1311
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: we give them the ball back and then they hit

1312
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 2: a three. And also, if you're up three, then you

1313
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 2: can foul. You can shorten the game. If you're up

1314
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: to or less, or a foul or any kind of

1315
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 2: bucket puts you either behind or tied, you need another

1316
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 2: basket there. You need your best possession, whether that's a

1317
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 2: shot in the first five seconds or at the end

1318
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: of the shot clock. You need to get the best

1319
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 2: possession possible because you are giving you're basically giving the

1320
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: team another chance, even if it's on a short clock situation.

1321
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: If you take a bad shot or if you're out

1322
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: of your offense, you're giving the team a chance to

1323
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 2: tie or take. So I agree with the nib zentbri.

1324
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 2: It's maddening to see these teams just milk the clock

1325
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 2: and think that extra five or ten seconds is really

1326
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 2: gonna have an impact on the outcome.

1327
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I think it's something in life you gotta consider.

1328
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 4: Don't just consider the best case scenario, consider the worst

1329
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 4: case scenario. Is there plenty of times where you just

1330
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 4: consider the best We talk gambling on the show all

1331
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 4: the time, and you could be like, hey, best case scenario,

1332
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 4: I hit my three thousand dollars four leg parlay and

1333
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 4: I good. I could retire, you know, like this is

1334
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 4: gonna be awesome. Consider the worst case scenario. It goes

1335
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 4: back to that scenario last night with Iowa. They've got

1336
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 4: the ball up by one with about thirty eight seconds

1337
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 4: to go. Best case scenario is what they went with. Right,

1338
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 4: they're thinking, best case scenario, we run the clock down,

1339
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 4: we get a good shot, we go up by at

1340
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 4: least three. There isn't much time left. Hey, we might

1341
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 4: be able to foul. Right, they can't go for a

1342
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 4: quick two like this is great, this is a it's

1343
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 4: nirvana here, though. Consider the worst case scenario. Well, we're

1344
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 4: in scramble mode at the end of the shot clock,

1345
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 4: we don't get a good shot, or we turn the

1346
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 4: ball over and don't even get a shot. And oh,

1347
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 4: by the way, we're only up by one and there's

1348
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 4: plenty of time for you can to.

1349
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 5: Get a good shot.

1350
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: It's just not a smart strategy to be so worried

1351
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 4: about running the clock down that you don't even get

1352
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 4: a good shot. Run your offense, get a good shot.

1353
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 4: If you take a good shot and there's twenty seconds

1354
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 4: left in the game, great, you run your offense, there's

1355
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds left in the game. Great, Just don't hold

1356
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 4: the ball and then scramble and not.

1357
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 5: Even get a good shot.

1358
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 4: That can't happen when you're only up by one at

1359
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 4: the end of a game.

1360
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 3: Agreed.

1361
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 6: And again, it's very similar to our discussion about NC

1362
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 6: State taking on Purdue. You know nobody is going to

1363
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 6: complain about you trying to take away Purdue's greatest asset

1364
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 6: and force them to play left handed.

1365
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 3: Ding up z D zach Edy. I call him ZD

1366
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 3: because of the z Edy, But I like that. I

1367
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 3: like that a little.

1368
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 6: He's got the oven at three fifty's melted, some cheese

1369
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,839
Speaker 6: in the paint. Noct You put you a nice little broiler,

1370
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,759
Speaker 6: you try the top. Look, the point is a little basil,

1371
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 6: maybe some Peccerina romano. Look, the point is with ZD

1372
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 6: or any other big or any other player, even if

1373
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 6: it's a sharpshooter from outside you find a way to

1374
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 6: stop somebody's greatest asset of their offense. Nobody's gonna turn

1375
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 6: around after you lose and say, oh, you did it

1376
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 6: the wrong way.

1377
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 3: Same as what you're saying, Brian.

1378
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 6: Like at the end of the game, if you're only

1379
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 6: leading by one and there's enough time where regardless of

1380
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 6: what you do, the ball's gonna end up in your

1381
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 6: opponent's hands.

1382
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 3: Try to score. I get it.

1383
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 6: You can make it tough on an opponent by playing

1384
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 6: not to lose and giving them a possession with mere

1385
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 6: seconds left on the clock. But we've seen magical things

1386
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 6: happen in the past, and so why even give them

1387
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 6: an opportunity. If things don't go well, do what you do,

1388
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 6: try to score the basketball and move on to the

1389
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 6: next possession with hopefully three point lead instead of one,

1390
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 6: or potentially a four point lead instead of one.

1391
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 3: I completely agree with you.

1392
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it'll change because I think these

1393
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 2: coaches do get a little conservative in these spots, and

1394
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest The biggest thing I noticed,

1395
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 2: especially at the collegiate level, is some of these coaches.

1396
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 2: We've seen it with Rick Barnes and with Matt painter,

1397
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 2: and they get they get these bad raps sometimes because

1398
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 2: of it. They just like players clam up in the moment,

1399
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 2: coaches can clam up in the moment too, where you're

1400
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 2: not afraid to, Like if you play with fear, especially

1401
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: in basketball, where there's so many possessions, there's not one possession,

1402
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: I think that's worth any more than the other. Like

1403
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: you just have to continue. If your game is high possession,

1404
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 2: high tech, like, keep playing that game. That's what got

1405
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: you there. Why are you going away from it? And

1406
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 2: to me, the best comparison is what we see in

1407
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, a team is up ten points late,

1408
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 2: a team like the Dolphins, right, They're a high octane

1409
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 2: offense that loves to throw the ball down the field

1410
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden.

1411
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 4: It's run.

1412
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: It's run, it's run, and then the team's got the

1413
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 2: ball back and nothing happened. Like, wait a minute, what

1414
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 2: just happened? We ran it three times, they called three

1415
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 2: time out three times, and now we don't have the

1416
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 2: ball anymore, and like thirty seconds went off the clock.

1417
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 2: So it just I respect the coaches and again not

1418
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 2: to completely dominate the conversation back to the football, but

1419
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 2: it just it fits the narrative. I respect the coaches,

1420
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 2: and I think Andy Reid and Mahomes are king of this.

1421
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 2: Five minutes left in the game, you're up a score.

1422
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 2: Play action, first down, play action, We're going down the field.

1423
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Why the defense is expecting you to run? They're expecting

1424
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 2: you to play slow. The best option there is to

1425
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 2: play fast. That's your best percentage, right. If we're talking

1426
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 2: about making a plus EV wager, right expected value, the

1427
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 2: best chance of getting the most value off that specific

1428
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 2: play is to do it. But the defense is not

1429
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: expecting you to do, which is to play fast. So

1430
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: I again, it goes back to strategy and coaching, and

1431
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 2: you've got the you got the plums on the sideline

1432
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 2: to make the big call in the big play, like, well,

1433
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens tonight, Right if Purdue or Yukon,

1434
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,799
Speaker 2: I think it'll be more with Purdue, not Yukon. Yukon's

1435
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 2: like a juggernaut. But if Perdue has a big lead

1436
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 2: in the second half and all of a sudden they

1437
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 2: slow it down, and you know, let's just go to

1438
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 2: Zach Edy and do what or not? And then and

1439
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 2: he states back in the game, why they've alligator blood.

1440
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: They've been like the team all tournament that just cannot

1441
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: be eliminated. So go for the knockout shot, right, be aggressive.

1442
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 2: What do you've got to lose?

1443
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, you said a couple of key things plums

1444
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 4: ooh and a juggernaut, and I just thought of Issa

1445
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 4: Kloe and Crown.

1446
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

1447
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 4: That's that's what I thought. I low with the latest

01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:59,920

1451
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 8: legend Magic Johnson.

1452
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 5: Oh you guys are right here, Yeah, all right.

01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 8: on the offensive end in the first half. Coach of

1460
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 8: the Year Dawn Staley said Ashlyn Watkins would be a

1461
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 8: key player to get the win, and she showed up

1462
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 8: by grabbing twenty rebounds off the bench. A new NCAA

1463
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,360

1546
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: It up player plays.

1547
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 4: Okay, so many opportunities prop betting wise, Jared, we'll start

1548
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 4: with you.

1549
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 3: What do you like?

1550
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm gonna go back to the Zach

1551
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 2: Edy assist prop. And again I bet this in the

1552
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 2: Elite eight it was over. It was a one and

1553
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 2: a half number. The juice to the over though, was

1554
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 2: minus one ninety, and I thought to myself, well, that's

1555
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 2: a lot of juice. But I just love the game

1556
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: that Purdue plays to get him a lot of looks

1557
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 2: at an assist, and I counted at least three clanks

1558
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 2: off wide open kickouts where I would have gotten over

1559
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 2: the hump. Edie finished with one assist in that game

1560
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 2: against Purdue. So we see the odds go down for

1561
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 2: minus one ninety in their last game. Now it's just

1562
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 2: minus one fifty five. And again, what's changed the game total?

1563
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 2: And this one's about the same in the mid one

1564
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 2: forties compared to that Tennessee game. And I see a

1565
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 2: very similar approach where maybe Rick Barnes didn't help as

1566
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 2: much on Zachide. I think Kevin Keats will again double

1567
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 2: teams zak Eady, and there will be a lot of

1568
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 2: kickouts wide open threes. We just need some of these

1569
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 2: produced shooters to knock them down. But I think we

1570
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 2: get across the finish line this time. So Zach Edy

1571
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 2: over one and a half assists.

1572
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 3: It is juicy.

1573
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 2: It MIGHTUS one fifty five, but significantly cheaper than it

1574
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 2: was in the Elite A just a few days.

1575
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 3: All right, I love this one.

1576
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,560
Speaker 6: How about twenty six and a half points, rebounds and

1577
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 6: assists for Donovan Klinging with the Yukon Huskies. Look, I

1578
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 6: just think that they have so many versatile weapons.

1579
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,759
Speaker 3: Newton on the outside hitting threes. I mean they.

1580
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 6: Can, they can dish from the pain if they want to,

1581
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 6: and it spreads the defense and it stresses the defense.

1582
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 6: So I think Yukon's gonna feed the big man in

1583
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 6: the paint, and when they can't, he's obviously gonna be

1584
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 6: under the hoop.

1585
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 3: He's gonna be kicking.

1586
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 6: The ball back out to his shooters on the on

1587
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 6: the wing and getting a lot of rebounds. So give

1588
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 6: me that that points, assists, rebounds prop for the big

1589
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 6: man in the Huskies jersey.

1590
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 3: I got Clinging going over twenty six and a half.

1591
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:07,759
Speaker 5: Do you guys want radical?

1592
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,440
Speaker 4: No, of course we do, come on, I died absolutely,

1593
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 4: But then you need radical no, huh.

1594
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 5: It's one thing that won it or that we ever have.

1595
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 3: You need it? Also?

1596
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 5: Okay, here's what I think.

1597
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 4: Crack says this all the time, Bill Krackenberger. We do

1598
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 4: countdown to tip off on Sundays here at Fox Sports Radio. Right,

1599
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 4: check it out tomorrow. But Crack will always say this.

1600
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 4: He wants to be on the bookmaker's side. Yeah, okay,

1601
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 4: more time than that. It's going to go in your favor,

1602
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 4: not every time, obviously, if you want to be on

1603
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 4: the bookmaker's side. I'm looking at Zach. Edie rebounds. Okay,

1604
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 4: it's juiced. The line is at thirteen and a half.

1605
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:53,839
Speaker 4: The over is juice to minus one sixty. Who's betting

1606
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 4: the under on Zach? Nobody rebounds, right, nobody. I don't

1607
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 4: think anybody is. If you're aligning yourself with the book,

1608
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 4: you're on the under. It's a plus money. It's at

1609
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 4: plus one twenty. If they're doubling Edie, which I think

1610
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 4: they will, is he gonna get to fourteenth very well?

1611
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:09,799
Speaker 2: Could?

1612
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 5: Jared said earlier you could get the closer to twenty.

1613
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 4: This could be one of the worst prognostications.

1614
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 5: I'm on the undervesto, I'm.

1615
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 4: On the bookmaker's side. Up, let's go, let's go sharp

1616
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 4: no or dumbno. We'll find out coming up decks. We'll

1617
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 4: break down that exact matchup. Man, the betting market doesn't

1618
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 4: mean everything, but it certainly means something. Okay, So if

1619
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 4: you're looking at this Alabama Yukon matchup, we know this Alabama,

1620
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to hit a lot of outside shots

1621
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 4: a lot in this one. And if you just look

1622
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 4: at the prop bet market, let's look at three pointers

1623
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 4: for Alabama. Aaron Estrada is one of their shooters, number

1624
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 4: fifty five, good player. His three point shooting prop bet

1625
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 4: is set at point five, which makes me go, oh,

1626
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 4: that's that's not a good sign right there. That's that's

1627
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 4: We're in a football stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play.

1628
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 4: You know, that's just something where in this particular matchup,

1629
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 4: styles make fights against Yukon. Donovan Klingen protecting the rim

1630
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 4: so masterfully against Illinois. It's not like Alabama is just

1631
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 4: gonna be attacking the Rim. One drive after another. It

1632
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 4: just didn't work at all for Terrence Shannon Junior, who's

1633
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,440
Speaker 4: gonna be a lottery pick from Illinois.

1634
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 5: He's fantastic player. He had nothing for Klingon.

1635
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 4: Mark Sears is not going to all of a sudden

1636
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 4: just become Michael Jordan right and challenging Klingon at the rim.

1637
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 4: So they're gonna shoot a lot of outside shots, and

1638
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 4: you gotta hit a lot of out side shots, and

1639
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 4: one of your shooters his three.

1640
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 5: Point prop is at point five.

1641
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 4: Really, it's just I don't see Alabama hitting enough outside

1642
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 4: shots to win this game. And I don't want to

1643
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 4: make Yukon out to be unbeatable because they aren't. But man,

1644
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,480
Speaker 4: they crank it up a couple of notches come NCAA

1645
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 4: tournament time. Ten straight wins of at least ten points,

1646
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 4: ten straight wins of at least thirteen points. It's insane

1647
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 4: the run they've been on. And to have a jump

1648
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 4: shooting team just drain shot after shot in a football stadium.

1649
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 5: I just don't see it.

1650
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 3: Well.

1651
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 6: I will say this, the reason why moneyball works in

1652
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 6: baseball is because of volume. Is because you have such

1653
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 6: an insane amount of opportunities to see the same. You know,

1654
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 6: statistical what look like statistical anomalies bear out over the

1655
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 6: course of a one hundred and sixty two game season

1656
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 6: that eventually you can make sense of the numbers. And

1657
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 6: to me, when I think about Alabama, for whatever reason,

1658
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 6: I always think about moneyball. I always think about analytics.

1659
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 6: I always think about volume because the way they win

1660
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,839
Speaker 6: is just shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot.

1661
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 6: Like that's that's how this team is going to advance

1662
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 6: and survive. I I look at everything he just said,

1663
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 6: and I respect the opinion, but there's something about like,

1664
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 6: even if it's not working, I.

1665
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 3: Don't think they get away from it.

1666
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 6: Even if even even if you know Spear or excuse me,

1667
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 6: Mark Sears, over the course of the season, he was hitting,

1668
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 6: you know, fifty plus percent from the floor.

1669
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,719
Speaker 3: He was hitting forty three percent from three.

1670
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 6: You know, I even if his numbers are dramatically woefully

1671
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 6: under that in this game as a one off, it's

1672
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,799
Speaker 6: not like they're going to back off having him take shots.

1673
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 6: So I like, you know, his whatever his points prop

1674
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 6: is another one that I'm looking at a nineteen and

1675
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 6: a half and I just think, like, almost regardless of

1676
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 6: the outcome of the game. I feel like he's gonna

1677
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 6: get twenty points because it's the only chance they have

1678
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 6: to even be in this game. So yeah, I think

1679
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 6: from from the standpoint of the outside shooters, you know,

1680
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 6: getting looks and taking chances and shooting, they're going to

1681
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 6: have volume on their side. And so I like a

1682
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 6: lot of the over props with Alabama offensively.

1683
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I looked at those and then I looked at

1684
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 2: the Illinois Yukon box score, and I was like, oh, man,

1685
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 2: if they can do that to Illinois's offense, which is

1686
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 2: much more versatile than Alabama. Like we keep talking about

1687
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 2: this with Zach Edy, Kevin Keats has a really tough

1688
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 2: decision to make. He has to game plan this. He

1689
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 2: has to get the ball out of the best player's hands. Well,

1690
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 2: let's flip the script in this Yukon Bama game. Dan

1691
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 2: Hurley is a pretty good coach too, and he's had

1692
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 2: a whole week. I know they had some plane delays.

1693
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 2: It's not going to impact the game at all. Don't

1694
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 2: let that be a story or distract you from eyes

1695
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 2: on the prize here. Dan Hurley's had a whole week

1696
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 2: to watch Alabama's offense. What do you think he's seeing

1697
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 2: all right, Well, they're kind of a one trick pony. Well,

1698
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 2: in my opinion, Yukon runs the ideal defense to throw

1699
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 2: off three point shooters. It's the drop coverage, right. We

1700
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 2: talked about it with Creighton. The difference is, I think

1701
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,480
Speaker 2: Donovan Klingon is a much more skilled defender than Ryan Kalkbrenner.

1702
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 2: And I know I love Kalkbrenner. He's a fantastic offensive player.

1703
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 2: I think Klingon's a little bit tougher, a little bit metier,

1704
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger. He can patrol the paint, I

1705
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 2: think a little bit more effectively. So the drop coverage

1706
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 2: essentially is the Yukon guards when they're being screened. They

1707
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about where the screening player goes.

1708
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 2: They know that Klingon is in the paint defending the paint.

1709
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 3: It is the.

1710
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 2: Guard's jobs to push the shooters away from the three

1711
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 2: point line. We call it running them off the three

1712
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 2: point line, right. That is what Yukon's job will be

1713
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 2: tonight when they defend these high pick and rolls that

1714
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: Alabama likes to run to get their shooters open on

1715
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: these flare screens and these ball screens. I think that's

1716
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 2: going to be Yukon's number one priority. Make Alabama beat

1717
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: us on the interior. Take away their best option, which

1718
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 2: is the three point shot. Doesn't mean that Alabama's not

1719
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 2: going to be shooting a lot and there will be

1720
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 2: a high volume. But to me, if I'm Dan Hurley

1721
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: and you make Alabama a one dimensional team on the interior,

1722
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 2: you take their chances of winning this game from like,

1723
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, five percent to like nil. So that's

1724
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 2: what I would do if I was Dan Hurley, which

1725
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 2: makes it really hard for me to get to the

1726
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: window on over props on these Bama shooters.

1727
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1728
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 4: No, it's a great breakdown because listen, Dan Hurley is

1729
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 4: an outstanding coach and he's no dummy. He understands what's

1730
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 4: most likely going to be the game plan and how

1731
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna play out. Alabama's gonna rely on a bunch

1732
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 4: of outside shots because we just saw the last game

1733
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 4: Donovan Klingen was a human eraser, all right, So you

1734
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 4: can't anticipate that. Mark Sears and Aaron Estrada and Ryland Griffin,

1735
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 4: the game plan is just drive on clinging because it

1736
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 4: works so well for Illinois they're not going to do that.

1737
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 4: So what do you do if you're Yukon, you have

1738
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 4: the ultimate safety net if you're over aggressive as a guard,

1739
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 4: a defensive guard for Yukon, Right, you're over aggressive running

1740
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,639
Speaker 4: out to the three point line and your guy drives

1741
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 4: past you, Well, guess so you have patrolling the paint

1742
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 4: to help you out and to give you some assistance.

1743
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 4: It is this guy named Klingon okay, who's seven foot two. Yes,

1744
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 4: it is erasing shots and affecting shots, and so you

1745
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 4: can be even more aggressive defending the three point line.

1746
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, I agree rich Alabama's gonna let him fly,

1747
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 4: but a lot of these shots are going to be

1748
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 4: contested tough looks because because you kind knows that's what

1749
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 4: Alabama is gonna do, and they're gonna make it as

1750
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 4: difficult as possible on them.

1751
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great breakdown from Jared, and it's a

1752
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 6: great point that you raised that I really was thinking

1753
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 6: about Alabama in a vacuum, and I wasn't considering the

1754
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 6: fact that even though Dan Hurley a head coach who

1755
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 6: speaks like somebody who you're assuming the fall is coming

1756
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 6: because he's extraordinarily vain and prideful, like he loves him

1757
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 6: some attention. He is a tremendous basketball coach, so he's

1758
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 6: got an ego that matches his talent. And I mean that,

1759
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 6: I mean both of those things. And I think his

1760
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 6: team actually plays with a healthy ego as well. And

1761
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 6: it's part of the whatever, the recipe for success that

1762
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 6: has benefited the Huskies so much, especially over these past

1763
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 6: two seasons, especially in March. Yeah, it's a great point

1764
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 6: about running the three point shooters off the line. It's

1765
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 6: a great point about contesting these shots. But there's something

1766
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 6: about urgency and about your back against the wall that

1767
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 6: even forces bad looks to look good sometimes and it's

1768
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 6: their only hope, right. I always think of it in

1769
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 6: terms of the cornered animal is the most dangerous one

1770
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 6: right now, the Crimson Tide, There's no question about it, folks,

1771
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 6: that is the most cornered of the animals left in

1772
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 6: these final four teams playing because they're going up against

1773
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 6: a juggernaut and the only way they can make this

1774
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 6: a ballgame is if they see some of those shots

1775
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 6: going in. And that's also another thing, like I think

1776
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:34,719
Speaker 6: I'm gonna know whether or not while we're all talking

1777
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 6: I just I just put in the mark Siars prop

1778
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 6: So nothing you guys said, uh changed my mood.

1779
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 3: As we were speaking, like true.

1780
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 4: Oh no, okay, yeah, contest, Yeah, this here is over.

1781
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 5: That's great.

1782
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 2: Want to enjoy this awesome breakdown.

1783
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 3: Great job gang. Anyways, but it was.

1784
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 6: But it is one of those things where I think

1785
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 6: I'll know if that props hitting in the first ten

1786
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 6: minutes of this game, because I shooting is contagious, and

1787
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 6: you know when it's gonna be a good night shooting

1788
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 6: team wide when one of the guys, one of the

1789
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 6: off ball shooters, sees the ball going for a teammate

1790
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden he hits his next shot.

1791
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Good point. Because it is contagious. So within the first.

1792
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 6: Ten minutes, we will have the group text fired up

1793
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 6: and I'll be like, yeah, this one's not cashing more.

1794
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 6: I'll be like, oh, oh, I'm feeling pretty good about

1795
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 6: my chances.

1796
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,719
Speaker 2: We'll see when it's like forty to ten at halftime

1797
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 2: and you got it's like it's like what are we

1798
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,640
Speaker 2: doing here? No, So I think there's a couple of

1799
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 2: things here. First of all, shooters shoot, right. I know

1800
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,640
Speaker 2: it's like super cliche, but it it. That is what

1801
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 2: this Alabama team will do. Like they don't care if

1802
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 2: they start zero for ten. They will continue to shoot

1803
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 2: because of the volume. And that's just that's just the

1804
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 2: stuff that they play. If you want, if you want

1805
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 2: me to look at one player on this Alabama team

1806
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 2: that I think is the great equalizer or at least

1807
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 2: let's call him an X factor. I think it's Grant

1808
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 2: Nelson Because Grant Nelson is a big right who theoretically

1809
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,639
Speaker 2: can pull Clinging away from the basket, but he can

1810
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 2: also shoot the three. Yeah, he's a little bit of

1811
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 2: a stretch, right. He's actually, to me like one of

1812
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 2: the more NBA suited players that Alabama has. Even though

1813
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,719
Speaker 2: he's just like this lanky dude who you know, steps

1814
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 2: out and shoot three. He's not like physically gifted like

1815
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 2: Clinging is just like a massive a human or eedie.

1816
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 2: But he has a little bit of skill to him, right,

1817
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more finesse for a big, which is

1818
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 2: what the NBA loves these days. But in this specific game,

1819
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 2: it maybe will be the antidote to get Clinging out

1820
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 2: of the paint. And we'll see how small Alabama goes. Right,

1821
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 2: we mentioned Nelson they're big six ' ten and and

1822
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think this is the one guy that

1823
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 2: maybe can pull him out of the paint. Pringle the

1824
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 2: other big that they have, but he's more of a

1825
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 2: traditional big and he's not a very beefy center, So

1826
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 2: I think that's a bad mismatch. I wouldn't be shocked

1827
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 2: if Pringle gets less minutes in this game than he

1828
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 2: normally does. I think Grant Nelson, who, by the way,

1829
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 2: I'm looking at his three point prop right now, it's

1830
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 2: a half. He needs to hit one three and it's

1831
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 2: minus one thirty five to the over. To me, that

1832
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 2: would be the guy who can maybe throw a bit

1833
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 2: of a change up to this Yukon defense.

1834
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 4: Well, I just thought back it was perdue. But think

1835
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 4: about Zach Edy, right, He's not gonna be running out

1836
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 4: to the perimeter to guard a three point shot. And

1837
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 4: Gonzaga their big man, Graham e K He went two

1838
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 4: for four from three, right, soit a good night.

1839
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 5: It's something to keep in mind. Hey, we've got some

1840
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 5: breaking news with Iloh. Let's do this.

1841
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 1: Breaking news from Fox Sports.

1842
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 8: From Major League Baseball, the Cleveland Guardians have just announced

1843
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 8: that their ace pitcher, Shane Bieber is going to need

1844
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 8: season ending Tommy John surgery to reconstruct his ulner collateral ligament.

1845
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:11,839
Speaker 4: Fellas, I think this means whoever wins the AL Central

1846
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 4: will win sixty two games and have one hundred locks.

1847
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 2: You just having a really good spring to.

1848
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:19,679
Speaker 5: The EDL Central.

1849
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Man.

1850
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 4: If there's ever a division that can ill afford big

1851
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 4: names getting injured, it's the AL Central goodness. So that's unfortunate.

1852
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 4: Here's right there. You know, I'll say this if we

1853
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 4: go back to the Bama Yukon matchup. I think what's

1854
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 4: interesting about what we do here When we're looking at

1855
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 4: the betting market and we're also just looking at who's

1856
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 4: gonna win the game, sometimes those two things conflict with

1857
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 4: each other. Yes, right where we both we all look

1858
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 4: at Yukon winning this game. But as far as prop

1859
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 4: bets go, if Alabama is losing by double digits late,

1860
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 4: what are they going to be doing. They're gonna be

1861
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 4: shoot a bunch of threes, right, I think they're gonna

1862
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 4: be doing that throughout the game. But especially you're gonna

1863
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 4: get a steady diet. If they're down by a lot

1864
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 4: and it's getting late, you gotta let them fly. And

1865
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,680
Speaker 4: so you might on one hand, love Yukon to win

1866
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 4: the game, but on the other hand, if you're saying, well, Bama,

1867
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 4: this guy isn't gonna hit his over three point prop bet,

1868
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 4: and this other guy he's not gonna get there either.

1869
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 4: It's like based on game script. It's something Jared talks

1870
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 4: about all the time. What's the situation of the game

1871
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 4: most likely to be well point, You guys probably gonna

1872
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 4: have a lead, they might have a big lead. And

1873
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,600
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen If that's the case, Alabama's gonna be

1874
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 4: shooting a bunch of threes. The one thing to keep

1875
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 4: in mind for the prop bets and also the game

1876
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 4: in general, is a cornered animal. Shooting threes is a

1877
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 4: different animal. Okay, It's one thing if you're cornered and

1878
01:34:57,400 --> 01:34:59,679
Speaker 4: you're being threatened and you want to go after someone

1879
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 4: show Okay, it's different than remaining calm, season on the line,

1880
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 4: no pressure. It's slipping away. The lead is growing for Yukon.

1881
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 4: Let me just remain focused and let it fly. As

1882
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 4: if we've got a ten point lead. That is something

1883
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 4: entirely different and makes it a lot more difficult.

1884
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 5: If indeed that is the situation.

1885
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 6: You know what's interesting is even though we have an

1886
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:31,479
Speaker 6: eleven seed going up against a team as capable as Purdue,

1887
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:36,400
Speaker 6: on one side, it feels like the the greater distance

1888
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 6: between the two opponents is absolutely Yukon in Alabama.

1889
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 3: Right, So there's a little bit of that.

1890
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 6: It's not necessarily playing with house money, that's that's not

1891
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,639
Speaker 6: the right terminology, but there's a little bit of, Hey,

1892
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:53,799
Speaker 6: you know, we've got to throw everything in the kitchen

1893
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 6: sink at the Huskies if you're Alabama. And that's the

1894
01:35:56,960 --> 01:36:00,839
Speaker 6: reason why I feel better about those offense of props

1895
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 6: going over than I do, like, say, for example, any

1896
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 6: of the wolf Pack offensive props, because looking at it

1897
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 6: from the underdog side, I just see the I see

1898
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 6: the game being tighter, potentially tighter between Purdue and NC State,

1899
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 6: which you could get into some of that situational basketball

1900
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 6: we were talking about earlier, where maybe styles turn a

1901
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 6: little bit more conservative and we could see a lower

1902
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:29,520
Speaker 6: scoring game, whereas with Alabama, defense is not a specialty.

1903
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna stop shooting, even like ten

1904
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 6: or thirty minutes after the game.

1905
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:36,680
Speaker 3: You might see the.

1906
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 6: You know, the confetti and the ladder is being taken

1907
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 6: away that there's no more nets and the Crimsons Tide

1908
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:43,759
Speaker 6: is still out there shooting threes.

1909
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 3: Like I just I don't see it. I just don't

1910
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 3: see it stopping.

1911
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,639
Speaker 6: So it's one of those things where it's like, yeah,

1912
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 6: there's pressure, there's no question, but maybe less than we're

1913
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 6: giving credit for. Because I think we all feel the

1914
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 6: same way about the Huskies. They're gonna be in the

1915
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 6: national Championship. And when you're a team like Alabama, you

1916
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 6: know you got a shot, but you also know who

1917
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,599
Speaker 6: you're facing, so there's a little bit of the pressure

1918
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,759
Speaker 6: taken off when if you get beat by the best

1919
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 6: left in the bracket, you still have some bragging rights.

1920
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 3: It's just if.

1921
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 6: If you can get those shots to fall early, maybe

1922
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 6: you got a shot at taken down the heavyweight champ

1923
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:24,959
Speaker 6: And that's where.

1924
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 3: I think the nerves will really set in. If it's

1925
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 3: like if we're.

1926
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 6: Talking about an even game going into the closing five

1927
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 6: minutes of this one, that's where I could see the

1928
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,120
Speaker 6: Tide players getting a little tight. Otherwise I think they're

1929
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:38,720
Speaker 6: gonna be chucking them up, and if they see some

1930
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 6: shots go through early on, I think some of those

1931
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 6: props can hit.

1932
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 2: Well. That's the thing. No one's kept it close against

1933
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:47,639
Speaker 2: you Kon in this entire tournament or last tournament. They

1934
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 2: haven't played. They haven't been winning as an underdog in

1935
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 2: March madness. It is a snowball effect. You start the game, obviously,

1936
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 2: if you're gonna win as an underdog, you've got you

1937
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 2: start the game hot, or at least you start it even,

1938
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:07,799
Speaker 2: and you just continue to apply pressure. You put doubt

1939
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 2: in the favorites head that you're not just gonna pull

1940
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 2: away and get a comfortable win and survive in advance

1941
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 2: like this is in doubt. This game could go either way.

1942
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:22,519
Speaker 2: The more pressure you apply to the favorite, the easier

1943
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 2: it gets for the underdog, and the harder it gets

1944
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,719
Speaker 2: for them. Whereas I think at the beginning of the game,

1945
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 2: the pressure's on the underdog to start fast, because let's

1946
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 2: be honest, if Alabama does what Illinois did in the

1947
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 2: second half and it's a thirty to nothing wrong, or

1948
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:37,840
Speaker 2: let's say it's like twenty to five to start the

1949
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,679
Speaker 2: game for Yukon, forget it. The game's over at that point.

1950
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 2: You might as well just move on. But if Alabama

1951
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 2: can figure out a way to do what Illinois did,

1952
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 2: which is keep the game close for twenty minutes and

1953
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 2: then not implode in the second half. Well, you just

1954
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 2: keep applying that pressure, and you keep getting to the

1955
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 2: next play and the next possession and the next possession,

1956
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's a you know, you're

1957
01:38:57,080 --> 01:38:58,439
Speaker 2: at the under four time out and it's a two

1958
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 2: possession game, one possesion gain. Hey, we're in this. But

1959
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if Alabama has the defensive integrity to

1960
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 2: do that. That's the part that scares me. Guys, Yukon

1961
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:11,679
Speaker 2: has blown out every opponent they faced in this tournament,

1962
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 2: and they're shooting twenty eight percent from three. When you

1963
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 2: shoot that poorly in the NCAA tournament, you are usually

1964
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 2: watching the nc DOUBLEA tournament in the later rounds. I

1965
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 2: don't care how good of a team you are if

1966
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 2: you shoot eight, ten, fifteen percent below your season average

1967
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 2: from three. Live by the three, died by the three.

1968
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 2: And the thing that scares me is what happens if

1969
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:38,799
Speaker 2: Yukon has a good shooting game against the bad Alabama defense,

1970
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 2: Like they haven't had a good shooting game the entire tournament.

1971
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 2: When was the last time they had a four game

1972
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 2: stretch and didn't shoot it well. Like, if we do

1973
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 2: get the Yukon good offense tonight and Alabama does not

1974
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,679
Speaker 2: have the defensive end, they do not have the defense

1975
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 2: to hold up against the good offense. Oh that's where

1976
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm worried that this game could get at it. Hey,

1977
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: Like we are going se Yukon shoot it well at

1978
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 2: some point in this tournament. If it's tonight, this one's over.

1979
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:05,760

Speaker 2: Okay?

2001
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:15,120

2002
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 3: At the end?

2003
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,400

Speaker 6: Ron You know, I will read anything in the prompt

01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 6: that's right, Yes.

2006
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 5: Anything, Yes.

2007
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 4: NC State nine and a half point underdogs against Purdue.

2008
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 4: Alabama eleven and a half underdogs a Yukon you know,

2009
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 4: spinal taps amps go to eleven, Alabama's betting line goes

2010
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 4: to eleven.

2011
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 9: And a half.

2012
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 5: Is what happens over here? Are you smelling the dogs here?

2013
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 3: Barkin?

2014
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 4: Are you hearing them barking? I should say, with NC

2015
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 4: State or Alabama?

2016
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 3: Listen.

2017
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 6: A day before the tournament started, NC State with seventeen

2018
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 6: and fourteen overall. They were ranked eightyth in the net rankings.

2019
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,799
Speaker 6: The Wolfpack had lost ten of fourteen games.

2020
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, like, come on, what they've done.

2021
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 6: It's like it's almost like it feels like, you know,

2022
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:22,720
Speaker 6: the glass slipper it's I mean, it's it's hanging on

2023
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 6: by a toenail, baby, like we I am. I am

2024
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:31,080
Speaker 6: struggling to make sense of looking at an underdog on

2025
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 6: a money line like oh with anything, I mean there

2026
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 6: is I mean, what kind of odds are we getting

2027
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 6: on a money line?

2028
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 3: Back? Right?

2029
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bama's over five to one.

2030
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah Bam is bigger, Yeah, Bama is bigger.

2031
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 6: I can't, I won't. I don't. I don't even really

2032
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 6: love getting the points. It's just this is so difficult poison,

2033
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,719
Speaker 6: all right. I will say this though, if there's a lean,

2034
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 6: if there's a lean, and maybe it'll be come more

2035
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 6: pronounced as we get to our rapid fire.

2036
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 3: The leen is on.

2037
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:13,799
Speaker 6: NC State, Okay, it's just now, like I said, the slipper,

2038
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 6: it's close to falling off the foot completely. But if

2039
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 6: there's a game where I could see it going closer,

2040
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 6: it's it's the wolf pack taking.

2041
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 3: On the tooilet mikers.

2042
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,519
Speaker 6: So if there's a lean where I like the points,

2043
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 6: and like I said, this may become more pronounced. I

2044
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 6: have to think about it over the next what twenty

2045
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 6: minutes or so before it's my turn to talk on

2046
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 6: rapid fire. But yeah, maybe I like the points there

2047
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:35,799
Speaker 6: with the Wolfpack.

2048
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 2: What do you guys think, Well, I'll give you a

2049
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 2: couple of nuggets here to chew on, right, Rich a

2050
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 2: couple of chicken nuggets here. Okay, our wolf Pack nuggets

2051
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,200
Speaker 2: free to chew on as we move forward. So first

2052
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 2: I'll read a quote from our pal Seamus McGee. Shout

2053
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 2: out Shamus, and this quote might help you. This is

2054
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 2: a direct quote from Shamus Betters love NC State. The

2055
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 2: wolf Pack are attracting heavy action on the money line

2056
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 2: and spread, and they are our biggest liability to win

2057
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 2: the nc Double A. Oh, so if you want to

2058
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 2: be on the side of the bookmakers today, you are

2059
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 2: backing per Due. Here's the next nugget I will give you. Actually,

2060
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 2: there's two of them. One of applies to the Alabama

2061
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 2: game too, though, but this one applies directly at NC State.

2062
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 2: NC State fourteen total losses. That is the most losses

2063
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:27,280
Speaker 2: ever to make the final four. The previous three teams

2064
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 2: all had thirteen losses Syracuse in twenty sixteen, North Carolina

2065
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 2: two thousand, Wisconsin in two thousand. All three of those

2066
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 2: teams lost in the Final four. They did not make

2067
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 2: the National Championship game. Finally, double digit favorites. Again, this

2068
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 2: is more Alabama than it is NC State, because we're

2069
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 2: close to double digits on NC State, but we're not

2070
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 2: quite there. Double digit favorites in the Final four actually

2071
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,959
Speaker 2: are four to zero straight up, but they haven't covered

2072
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 2: their last four times. Gonzaga was a fourteen point favorite

2073
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 2: against UO Cla. This was three years ago. Remember that

2074
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 2: was the Jalen Suggs half court buzzer beater overtime crazy game.

2075
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 2: Well guess what, because I didn't cover Kentucky big favorite

2076
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 2: in the title game in ninety six, didn't cover NC

2077
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 2: State big favorite back in nineteen seventy four. They won

2078
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 2: by twelve. They pushed and then duke in the Final

2079
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 2: four back in ninety nine against Michigan, State won by

2080
01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:25,640
Speaker 2: six as a eleven and a half point favorite. So

2081
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 2: history says the big favorites win, But those games are

2082
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 2: a little snugger than you might think. So again with

2083
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 2: those nuggets, I still can't bet either the other dogs.

2084
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I can't do it.

2085
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 1: I can't do it.

2086
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 3: I love it.

2087
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 4: The one thing, okay, I think about this in betting

2088
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 4: all the time, is I'm on the side or I'm leaning.

2089
01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 5: Toward a side. What could go wrong?

2090
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 4: What could fly in the face of this angle of mine? Right,

2091
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 4: I think Yukon being so dominant the last game, a

2092
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 4: thirty to nothing run against Illinois in an Elite eight game,

2093
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 4: the best offense in the country, the ALIONI I think

2094
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 4: that it's not really the power of embarrassment that applies here.

2095
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 5: No one wants to get embarrassed.

2096
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 4: But Alabama knows they have to be absolutely laser focused

2097
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,640
Speaker 4: in this one, right, Like, we gotta be on it,

2098
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 4: we gotta dot our eyes, cross our teas the whole

2099
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:41,480
Speaker 4: thing against Yukon, who looked so dominant. So from that standpoint,

2100
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 4: I like Bama plus eleven and a half, just from

2101
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 4: that standpoint of we saw Yukon at their peak. Yeah,

2102
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 4: So it's really it's like in the regular season, Number

2103
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 4: one is coming to town fresh off of fifteen point beatdown.

2104
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 5: You know, we gotta be ready.

2105
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 4: I expect Alabama to be laser focused, but again, I

2106
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 4: don't know how well they're gonna shoot it in a

2107
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 4: football stadium against Yukon. That's gonna make sole life dip,

2108
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:13,599
Speaker 4: make life so difficult for them shooting from the perimeter.

2109
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:19,520
Speaker 4: But I do expect Bama to be laser focused and.

2110
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 5: And eleven and a half is a lot of points.

2111
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,680
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, but I think of the two dogs, I

2112
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 2: like Bama a little more, a little just because of

2113
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:29,559
Speaker 2: how much actions on NSI State. They're a public dog

2114
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:30,559
Speaker 2: NSY State tonight.

2115
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 3: And that's tough, man.

2116
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,280
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. These dogs will test your plums.

2117
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh, hey, there's some plums in this game. Die Bama. Man.

2118
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 6: Man, you gotta have some guts to take the dogs

2119
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:42,720
Speaker 6: in these matchups.

2120
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 4: Hey, we got guts by the name of Isaac Lowen

2121
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 4: Crown with us.

2122
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:49,760
Speaker 5: Huh I low with the latest here? What's going on?

2123
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 8: Cleveland Guardian vans Fellaws feel like they've got their guts

2124
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:55,800
Speaker 8: ripped out this morning because of the big news a

2125
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 8: short time ago in Major League Baseball, as the Guardians

2126
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 8: announced that they're a pitcher Shane Bieber needs season ending

2127
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 8: Tommy John surgery. The Guardian said Beab experienced a recurrence

2128
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,560
Speaker 8: of right elbow pain after his first two starts of

2129
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:14,280
Speaker 8: the season, and then imaging and evaluation revealed a re

2130
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 8: injury to his ulnar collateral ligament. Beiaber, by the way,

2131
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 8: won both of those starts. He did not allow a

2132
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:25,719
Speaker 8: run in twelve innings with twenty strikeouts, but now needs

2133

2145
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:06,360
Speaker 8: of right knees soreness.

2146
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 9: PJ.

2147
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 8: Washington scored thirty two, including the game winning a lamp

2148
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 8: with four point five to play. And the Toronto Raptor

2149
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 8: It's broke a fifteen game losing streak with a one

2150
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 8: to seventeen one to eleven win at Milwaukee, which was

2151
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 8: without Yiannis anteda kumpo because of a hamstring injury. The

2152
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,719
Speaker 8: Bucks have now lost five of their last six games.

2153
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 8: Fellas back to You.

2154
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 5: Thank You, I Lo.

2155
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Campdown to Zip Off, presented

2156
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 4: by Bett MGM. We'll have our picks at the end

2157
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 4: of the show. Three apiece for us. But I kind

2158
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:39,679
Speaker 4: of want to learn more.

2159
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 5: About you guys.

2160
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 4: We've been doing the show for quite a while, right,

2161
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 4: two plus years, and we've learned a lot about each other.

2162
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,640
Speaker 4: But there's still plenty more to be learned, I feel like,

2163
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 4: and so this is a good story to learn more

2164
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:55,720
Speaker 4: about each other. This is a show, hey Otani.

2165
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 3: Right.

2166
01:49:56,360 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 4: Earlier this week, he hit his first home run as

2167
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 4: a Dodger. Okay, And there was a longtime Dodgers fan,

2168
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 4: Ambar Roman, who caught the ball. Okay, and so I

2169
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 4: apparently they spoke right the fan and Otani. There was

2170
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 4: an exchange made, and the fan goes home with two

2171
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 4: signed hats, a signed bat and ball. Okay, This is

2172
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 4: a guy Otani who desperately wanted this. Baseball means a lot, right,

2173
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 4: he said, obviously, I have very It's a very special ball.

2174
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,240
Speaker 4: A lot of feelings toward it. I'm very grateful it's back.

2175
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 4: The guy just signed a seven hundred million dollar contract.

2176
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:46,320
Speaker 5: Okay.

2177
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 4: The fan is upset and says, this is not a

2178
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:52,479
Speaker 4: fair exchange, like I didn't get as much as I

2179
01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 4: should have gotten.

2180
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 5: This is the way I look at it.

2181
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 4: You have two options if you're a fan who catches

2182
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 4: a ball that has value like this. You either say

2183
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 4: no deal, I'm selling the ball for as much as

2184
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 4: humanly possible, or you say, okay, we have a deal,

2185
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:15,600
Speaker 4: and you forever shut up about whatever you agreed to

2186
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 4: make that deal for right, it can't be both where Okay,

2187
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 4: that's that. You got a deal, sign bat and ball, great, awesome,

2188
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,639
Speaker 4: sounds good. And then the next thing you know, they

2189
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 4: took advantage of me. No no, no, no, no, no no.

2190
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 5: You made a bad deal. It is on you. I

2191
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 5: don't want to hear it.

2192
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I completely agree with you. This is this

2193
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 6: is up to your own discretion, Like you own that

2194
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 6: that baseball. It's part of the contract you sign when

2195
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,639
Speaker 6: you buy a ticket. If a ball lands in the stands,

2196
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 6: as per MLB rules their relationship with their fan base,

2197
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 6: you get to walk away with that souvenir.

2198
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 3: Pretty cool. A lot of foul balls.

2199
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 6: Sometimes they trickle down the baseline and a bat boy

2200
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,840
Speaker 6: or girl pick up the ball. They to a young

2201
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 6: fan and the you know, the the low rows like

2202
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 6: it's fun, right, Baseball's fun. For that reason, nobody's getting

2203
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 6: fined because they're blowing through baseball one hundred balls a game.

2204
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 6: Who cares, right, We're gonna mut them up and we're

2205
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 6: gonna send out our next batch of baseballs, you know,

2206
01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:16,800
Speaker 6: the next game.

2207
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.

2208
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 6: Well, when when you when you sign that contract and

2209
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 6: you catch that baseball, it's up to now your discretion

2210
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 6: what you do with it.

2211
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 3: So if he kept it and.

2212
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 6: He wanted to, I don't know, hold it ransom until

2213
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 6: a better deal came in from Showhy or the Dodgers,

2214
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 6: or if he wanted to bring it to auction sooner

2215
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 6: or later, well that's his own that's his own choice.

2216
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:43,719
Speaker 6: But I agree with you. I think it's really lame

2217
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 6: to catch the baseball and then to cough it up

2218
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 6: and be like and the Dodgers and show Hair a

2219
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 6: bunch of a bunch of cheap skates. It's like, no, no, no,

2220
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:56,799
Speaker 6: you're a terrible negotiator, idiot, that's all that means.

2221
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be honest. I feel like I would be

2222
01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:03,799
Speaker 2: very now. I'm a little more cynical in this stage

2223
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 2: of my life. If this was twenty years ago and

2224
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 2: I was bright eyed, bushy tailed, eighteen year old Jared

2225
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 2: going to a Yankees game, grew up loving the team,

2226
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 2: and I caught an Aaron Judge and I know he

2227
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 2: was around twenty years ago, but just stay with the

2228
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 2: story here. And I caught like Aaron Judges like first

2229
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 2: Yankees home run, I would probably give that ball back

2230
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 2: for a lot less than what it was worth, just

2231
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:30,040
Speaker 2: for the experience of meeting Aaron Judge and getting some

2232
01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:32,640
Speaker 2: sign memorabilia and being a part of that. At this

2233
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 2: advanced stage of my life where I feel like I'm

2234
01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 2: really cynical towards every professional sports team for screwing me

2235
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:43,400
Speaker 2: over with a wager, at some point, I would probably

2236
01:53:43,439 --> 01:53:47,880
Speaker 2: hold out for millions. I would be like, I would

2237
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 2: be like, who is the last holdover or hold out

2238
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:53,960
Speaker 2: in the NFL who wanted like more money on his contract?

2239
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 2: Like I would be the most annoying person ever. Like

2240
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,759
Speaker 2: they would offer me something and I would like verbally agree,

2241
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:02,799
Speaker 2: and then I would come back later and add stuff

2242
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 2: to it, like like Kevin Costner and Draft Day, Like

2243
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 2: I would be just a fierce nego because I've reached

2244
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 2: that point where I don't have the same love for

2245
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,080
Speaker 2: my team as I do. Like I'm looking at the

2246
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:17,640
Speaker 2: picture of ambar Rome, like she's got the Dodgers gear on,

2247
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,880
Speaker 2: She's so happy to be in that moment. I think

2248
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:24,600
Speaker 2: she let her fandom get the better of her negotiating

2249
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:27,800
Speaker 2: power there and probably this is a lesson for.

2250
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 4: Life, right, Yeah, no, listen, I get it, I really do.

2251
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 4: There's a difference between talking about it from the comfort

2252
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 4: of your couch, yeah, and being in those exact shoes

2253
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 4: where it's like, this is my team whatever.

2254
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:43,040
Speaker 5: I'm a Cardinals fan.

2255
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 4: Albert Poohols just hit a historic home run, and I'm

2256
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 4: gonna be that guy who holds out for top dollar

2257
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 4: when I could just get a handshake and a sign poster.

2258
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:57,200
Speaker 4: You know, it's a different situation. I would still hold

2259
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 4: out for as much as.

2260
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 2: I was eighteen and young, I wouldn't.

2261
01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 5: But now, no, no, I hear you, and I probably

2262
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 5: wouldn't have either.

2263
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:07,640
Speaker 4: But you get older, you get wiser, and you're like,

2264
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 4: this is a freaking awful deal. I have something of

2265
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 4: great value. Nothing wrong with negotiating. This guy's got millions

2266
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 4: in his seat cushions, you know what I mean. You're

2267
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 4: not a bad person for negotiating top dollar. And if

2268
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 4: you don't do that, that's fine too, but you can't

2269
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 4: belly ache about it.

2270
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2271
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:32,960
Speaker 6: Literally weeks ago, he accidentally, I guess, lent four and

2272
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 6: a half million dollars. Yeah, interpreter buddy, like so, I'm

2273
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 6: pretty sure he could lend you.

2274
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, like a cool two mil for the baseball.

2275
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 5: That's important to him, right right, Yeah, he's got it.

Speaker 4: Hey, we've got Rich Herenberger, Penn State All American, Jared

Speaker 4: I had a winning week. That's good right out two

2299
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:01,760
Speaker 4: to zero.

2300
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:06,200
Speaker 5: I was excited about a B plus and you guys

2301
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 5: got a plus. It says that is fun.

2302
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 4: Jared, we'll start with you, who has been crushing the

2303
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:12,320
Speaker 4: basketball picks.

2304
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's keep it hot right now. Listen, this

2305
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,919
Speaker 2: is a short sample, but I think the college basketball

2306
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 2: tournament it could be really fun if you're on the.

2307
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 3: Right side of these.

2308
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 2: So let's try to get on the right side. In

2309
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 2: our final college hoots rapid fire of the season. I'm

2310
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:27,960
Speaker 2: gonna take Donovan klingon over nine and a half rebounds.

2311
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:30,480
Speaker 2: He's averaging ten in the tourney. We like that, and

2312
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 2: he's got a big mismatch against Alabama's big Nick Pringle.

2313
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 2: I think Clinging Klang Khang has a big game tonight

2314
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,560
Speaker 2: over nine and a half rebounds. I'm gonna go change

01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna bet in Iowa in this game. I get it.

2318
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:53,200
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark's good guys. South Carolina is undefeated. Everyone's talking

2319
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 2: about Iowa and Kaitlin Clark. Nobody's talking about the game. Cocks.

2320
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 2: You should They're pretty good and I think they win

Speaker 2: with margin on Monday Night. Finally, I'm gonna give you

2322

2329
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,840

01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 2: over Purdue in the National Championship. The exacta to go

2331
01:58:30,160 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 2: on Monday night.

2332
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 3: All right, check it out.

2333
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 6: I have only had one losing week, a one and

2334
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:39,760
Speaker 6: two week, so uh, not that bad over the course

2335
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 6: of this college basketball tournament. I'm twelve and six. I'm

2336
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:45,960
Speaker 6: coming off this heater this three and oher week. I'm

2337
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:48,200
Speaker 6: gonna do what I did last week. I'm gonna stick

2338
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:51,560
Speaker 6: to the spreads. I'm gonna spread it out. Okay, I'm

2339
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 6: talking straight up taking points and then given some NC

2340
01:58:57,280 --> 01:58:58,680
Speaker 6: stayed plus nine and a half.

2341
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna win this game.

2342
01:59:01,640 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 6: I don't give him a prayer to win this game

2343
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 6: against Perdude, that's a better team.

2344
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:06,880
Speaker 3: But I think that they.

2345
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 6: Will have enough moxie, enough guts to keep it close

2346
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 6: enough to get within that nine and a half point

2347
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:17,280
Speaker 6: striking range. Now Yukon, it's a different story. Alabama. I

2348
01:59:17,320 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 6: love their shooters, but I don't think they're gonna be

2349
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:23,240
Speaker 6: able to shoot up enough. I got Connecticut in the

2350
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 6: first half minus six and a half. I got Connecticut

2351
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:29,760
Speaker 6: whole game spread minus eleven and a half in Dan Hurley,

2352
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 6: I trust Huskies to the final and they're gonna do

2353
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 6: it in historic fashion with another double digit finish against Alabama.

2354
01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

2355
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'll give you a prop. I like Alex Caraban.

2356
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:46,600
Speaker 4: It's all about Donovan klinging with Yukon. He's a fantastic player.

2357
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:50,520
Speaker 4: Give me Caraban over thirteen and a half points. Alabama

2358
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 4: doesn't play defense.

2359
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 5: I like that bet.

2360
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,120
Speaker 4: I'm also gonna take Yukon in the first half minus

2361
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,839
Speaker 4: six and a half. I like it right at Bama

2362
01:59:58,080 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 4: outside shooting football stadium, tough to get used to, and

2363
02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:05,360
Speaker 4: for fun. I'm gonna go head to head with Jared Smith.

2364
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:09,879
Speaker 4: Uh huh yeah, let's go Iowa plus six.

2365
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 3: And a half.

2366
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 4: I listen South Carolina, they throw waves at you can

2367
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:14,440
Speaker 4: wear you down.

2368
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:17,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take the star power in Caitlin Clark. Everybody

2369
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 5: enjoy the action.
