Speaker 3: Ten seconds of matings.

Speaker 4: It's gonna just go throw me up to.

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: The basket, under the basket, it's.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 3: The truth for the wind God a miracle. I chuck

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: the water.

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Hit that one from the parking lot.

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: What's up the general nation? Welcome to Big Bets on

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: Campus Podcast. This is the first college basketball betting preview.

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: I'm stuck in joining me as they will all season.

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: Are my co hosts, BJ Cunningham and Mike Calabrese. Gentlemen,

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: are you ready to talk college hoops? Eja, I'll start

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: with you. Are you ready to give us this going?

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean college football is over. We're here in

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 5: So I mean, now that we have so many college

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 5: basketball teams, it seems like every Saturday and Sunday is

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 5: just an absolute war with one hundred and fifty to

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty games in a weekend. But this

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 5: is a really, really fun time of year, trying to

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: shake shake out this entire national landscape before we actually

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 5: get to March and then when all chaos ensues.

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's we're recording this on a Monday afternoon, just

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: to give everyone a heads up. We usually will recording

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: Monday morning, release it early afternoon for the Monday nights late,

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: but it's a holiday, really kind of a March fuel

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: right now, we have college basketball on during the day,

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: so it's good to do this first episode of the

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: season right now. But normally normal week could be Monday,

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, early afternoon episode release. The guys from Three

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: Man Weave will do the mid week episode, and then

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: of course we'll be back on Friday to prede the

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: weekend as always, all the way through the tournament, and

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: then we'll have our myself and guys from the Three Man.

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: We will have a live show on Saturday mornings for

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: Big bets O Campus Live coming up probably in a

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: couple of Saturdays from now, starting that throughout the tournament,

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: so stay tuned for updates there. Mike, how's it going?

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Decided to get this wrong and find some winners and

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: some futures and just college basketballs and full season.

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: It is a great opportunity to welcome in kind of

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: a broader audience because a lot of folks have just

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: now started to pay attention to college basketball, and there's

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: always that fear, Oh, the season's halfway over, I must

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: be so far behind.

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: No, not really, we don't really know what's going on.

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: From the top of the board perspective, the AP top

49
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: ten has been a revolving doory. You got teams like

50
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: Xavier now all of a sudden eighth in the country.

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: I think if you told people that preseason, that'd be

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 4: pretty shocking. And then, honestly, for me, the only team

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: that I feel one hundred percent confident getting to the

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: second weekend in the entire country is Houston, just because

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 4: their defense is so good and travels so well and

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: they're not going to be tested for the rest of

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 4: their conference play, so they basically are cruising to a

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: number one seed.

59
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: Outside of that, everything is.

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: Truly fluid, and I think it pays to do your

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 4: homework on a week to week basis and try to

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: get a feel for these teams as they get more

63
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: into conference play. And also we'll get touch on this

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: a little bit later in the show, but there's some

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 4: teams that are moving their way up, you know, the

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: Clemsons of the world, but they're doing almost all of

67
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: their best work at home, and as we know, during

68
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: conference play, tournament play, I should say as well as

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: March Madness. You gotta be able to win games on

70
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: the road. So just a lot of fools gold being

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: produced at this point in the season. So I'm really

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: excited to pick your brain and BJ's brain as we

73
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 4: move through the season.

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna start. We'll start high level today just

75
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: as the introductory pod. We'll talk about key takeaways from

76
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: the whole season, then this weekend, and then we'll also

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: get into what futures we have, and then we'll talk

78
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: Little Kansas, Kanadas State tomorrow and then our best bets

79
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: for tomorrow night. And yeah, I guess let's let's let's

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: just start high level first. You're the biggest takeaway to

81
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: be and you kind of touched on this, and I

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: think it's gonna make for an amazing tournament. Is there's

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: who do you trust? There's no elite there's no elite

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: team that's head and shoulders above the rest, right, uh.

85
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: And then the blo the blue bloods, right like the

86
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: North Carolina there are they just in cruise control like

87
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: they were. They know how good they are, but they've

88
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: been disappointing. Duke. I know Kentucky won at Tennessee. But man,

89
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: they've been losing his twenty point favorite. So it is

90
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: wide open landscape. And I'll say a key takeaway for

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: me from the season, and I guess from this weekend too,

92
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: who do you trust one of those teams? And I agree,

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: Houston just their defense, their experience, their coaching. One of

94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: those teams that, you know, one of the few that

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: I'll just pencil in to the second weekend you know

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 3: is rising up to that level. Now, who actually beat

97
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: Houston is Alabama? I mean, man, do they what? I mean?

98
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Number one, the talent that they have and what they

99
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: did to LSU just a complete evisteration. But having a

100
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: guy like Seers who just is so in control knows

101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: when they take the big shots. He's that veteran presence

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: on a team with uber talent and depth. And Alabama

103
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: is scary. They are real. They're ascending into like, oh,

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: I trust this team just what they're doing on a

105
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: nightly basis. So that's kind of my biggest takeaway so

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: far from this wide open awesome. You know, it's going

107
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: to make for a great tournament. BG. I'll go to

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: you if you want to, if you want to go

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: either overall high level this weekend or both. What do

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: the key takeaway that you want to bring up here?

111
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, big takeaway from the weekend was kind of going

112
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 5: along your line with how I good Alabama is not

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 5: only I think you know we have the fast paced offense.

114
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: We have them, you know, scoring one hundred and six

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: points against LSCU, but they're a top ten Ken Palm

116
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 5: defensive team now, so I agree with you. They're a

117
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 5: very very dangerous team and it looks like they should

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: probably be the favorites to win the SEC right now

119
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: with Tennessee going down to Kentucky. But my one biggest

120
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: takeaway from the entire season is just how stacked the

121
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: Big twelve is. Right now, we have crazy nine of

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: the ten teams are currently inside the Ken Palm Top forty,

123
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 5: and every single week and weekend it seems like there

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 5: are two or three Top twenty five showdowns. Kansas is

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 5: currently five and zero conference play with four wins by

126
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: four points or less. Flip side of the coin, West

127
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: Virginia is zero to five with four losses by seven

128
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 5: points or less, which just shows you how much depth

129
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 5: there is in this conference. And once we get to March,

130
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 5: one of these mid level teams who maybe finishes five hundred,

131
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: maybe a little over five hundred, and the Big twelve

132
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: is gonna be an eight or a nine seed, and

133
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: they're gonna be very very dangerous, potentially taking out a

134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 5: one or a two seed. And I was curious. I'm

135
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: gonna go ahead and give you guys a quick trivia

136
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 5: question here. The most bids ever for a single league

137
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 5: to the NCA Tournament is eleven. Can you guys name

138
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 5: what conference that is and bonus what year.

139
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: It was, Big, Big East Conference and all.

140
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: That is correct, twenty eleven, big, Sorry ten.

141
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say twenty ten to be totally worse.

142
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: It was the worst trivia host ever, but that you

143
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: got it wrong. I'm sorry about that.

144
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, yeah, it's just it's crazy.

145
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: Just how and five and West Virginior and five and

146
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: like they're the they're in the basement, and those are

147
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: really good, Like there are tournament quality teams.

148
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Texas Tech just lost in Austin by two the Texas

149
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: I know it was kind of out of hand and

150
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: they were fouling a ton at the end, but still

151
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy.

152
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna talk a lot about the

153
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Big twelve fests, and I agree that you're you get

154
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: in from you know you're gonna be an undervalued like

155
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: twelve seed. You know that the last team in from

156
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: the Big twelve. Your your battle tested for three months.

157
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: I mean every there's no there's no break. But yeah,

158
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: just to add on to Alabama, because they're young and

159
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: they the win at Houston, they were they were behind

160
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: young team playing a team that had revenge from last year.

161
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: They won that game that experienced That was to me

162
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: that that was probably the most impressive win of the

163
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: season so far, is that Alabama win at Houston, coming

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: back in the way that they did in a hostile environment. Amazing.

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: When Mike, what do you want to touch on high

166
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: level just from either this weekend or the whole season.

167
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying it's over yet, but I'm a

168
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: little bit disappointed in the mid major crop because with

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: a year that's this topsy turvy at the top of

170
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: the the AP poll, I was hoping that we have

171
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: some more teams. I mean, obviously right now we have

172
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: Charleston and Fau just cracked the top twenty five. But

173
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: when you look at these teams it's hard to get

174
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: really excited about a deep run. I know that Charleston

175
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: bombs away from three, but they're outside the top two

176
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: hundred in terms of three point shooting percentage. Then you

177
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: got Saint Mary's who've been reeling off, you know, tons

178
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: of wins, but they've lost all of their.

179
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 6: Close games to good teams.

180
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 4: They've lost to Houston, New Mexico, Washington, Colorado, stayed all

181
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: by less than five points.

182
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: So you can view that as they're right there.

183
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: On the cusp, or you could say they can't get

184
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: it done against you know, quad one teams.

185
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: And then you know, just trying to get my talk.

186
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: Myself into some of these other mid majors. You see

187
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: Santa Barbara. I love Passernak a lot. I mean, they

188
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: finished top two in the Big West for the last

189
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: five years.

190
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: They play slower, so I like that contrast.

191
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: They're good on defense, but I'm just looking for somebody

192
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: that I can hang my hat on that can be

193
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 4: my darling going into March, and I haven't found them yet.

194
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: And then you pair that with, you know, the sad

195
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: injury to Jelly Walker. There's just like a lot of teams,

196
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: they're just like a piece away from really talking yourself

197
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: into them at this point, So maybe that'll change.

198
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 3: In the next month.

199
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: Obviously, there's plenty of meaningful games to be played at

200
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 4: the second half of January and February. But as it

201
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: stands right now, I don't necessarily have a team that

202
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: I'm fired up to, you know, put to the Sweet

203
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: sixteen as soon as that bracket comes out.

204
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm also hunting for who my my

205
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: darling is gonna be. Someone will emerged. There might be

206
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: a team or two. And as we're talking, I was

207
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: bringing up to you guys right like ten minutes ago,

208
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: I wanted Michigan State second at they're down eighth the ten. Well,

209
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: they're done too now, so that's not gonna be a bet.

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about the Big ten coming up. Let's

211
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: let's transition into actually before we get into the futures.

212
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: With futures we have, let's do a quick rant. I'm

213
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: gonna open this up. Could be Rant of the weekend,

214
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: or it could be the whole season. Since is the

215
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: first episode, I'm gonna rant about a team that has

216
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: cost me, I think more money than any team this

217
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: year is Wyoming and don't do this people, But I

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: know that, you know, I had a big Saturday, and

219
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: I know that people that are following me are gonna

220
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: either if they're down, they're gonna better a lot on

221
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: the late game starts at eleven o'clock, or they're gonna

222
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: try to double up. Don't do that. It's one game,

223
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: but I always I know that people are gonna do it,

224
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: so I always watch the late game with more interest,

225
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: knowing that people are gonna chase and do dumb betting

226
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: things and wyoming desperation effort. Playing Boise State, who doesn't

227
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: miss a shot, I just it was it was just

228
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: a I mean, I know that they've been missing guys,

229
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: and I really liked their coach, and but it was

230
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: just a lack of daysical effort in my opinion for

231
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 3: a team at home, tough place to play, just desperate

232
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: like they haven't don't have a win yet in the

233
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: Mountain West. Playing Boise off that UNLV win is a

234
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: great spot and just done. I mean it was Boise

235
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: from the get go. I know mob not to have

236
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: like a broken note. I mean had a nosebleed that

237
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: cost them the first five minutes second half, but anyone

238
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: could figure out Wyoming guys should just state him maybe,

239
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: but let me know that's my rant is I mean,

240
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: you let me down. They didn't give us hope in

241
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: the late night spot BJ, I'm gonna go to you

242
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: any rant of the year or week.

243
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know. I wasn't on this, but I'm

244
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna ran for anybody who did have it. Have you

245
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: guys seen what's been going on with UC San Diego

246
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: the last few games they had I think the college

247
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: so they yeah, worst speed ever, not only did what happened,

248
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: So what happened essentially is they were plus three and

249
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: a half against UC Riverside. UC Riverside made a free

250
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: throw to go up three with two seconds left.

251
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: They just but they were also up like thirteen.

252
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I was gonna say.

253
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 5: They were up fourteen with seven minutes left to play.

254
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 5: They completely collapsed.

255
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: Then with two seconds left they just inexplicitly just threw

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: the ball right to the UC Riverside guy and instead

257
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: of just holding on to a winning.

258
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: By three second.

259
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 5: One second, just jacks up a three and hits it

260
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: and they win by six. But the very next game

261
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 5: on Saturday, they played Cal State Bakersfield again. They had

262
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: a thirteen point lead with ten minutes left to go.

263
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 5: They were plus three again, and they turned the ball

264
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: over twice in the final minute when they were essentially

265
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: down two two, fouled on a breakaway when they didn't

266
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: need to, and you know, Bakersfield goes line, makes one

267
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 5: of two, goes up and wins by four.

268
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: We're recording this obviously on Monday.

269
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: They played tonight and they are plus three against or

270
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 5: plus three and a half against UC Davis, which is

271
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: just hilarious. But yeah, and that's the thing is now

272
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 5: that since we have so many teams in college basketball,

273
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: that these type of things just tend to happen. But

274
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 5: I have never seen anything like to just throw it

275
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: right to the guy and just jack of a meaningless three.

276
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that might have been the worst beat will.

277
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: Be the only I think, definitely the season, the only

278
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: one that I can come up with that touches it.

279
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: Back in two thousand and seven, Dan Dokic was coaching

280
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: Bowling Green and they were plus six and a half

281
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: at Buffalo. Buffalo is down two with the ball, they

282
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: throw up an air ball. Bowling Green hands up the

283
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: run to the locker and we won. The refs went

284
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 3: and they reviewed. They were at the monitor and they

285
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: say there should be point one second left when the

286
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: air ball when it was an air ball shot and

287
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 3: it hit the out of bounds line. This is ten

288
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: minutes later. Apparently the sports books in Vegas paid out

289
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 3: the plus six and a half. The ref say, we

290
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: got to finish this point one second bowling greens in

291
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: the showers. They have to come out of the showers.

292
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: They assessed them a technical for not leaving the court.

293
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: But makes both free throws and wins by eight in

294
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: overtime and covers six and a half absolute.

295
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: Okay, that is the worst that I've ever heard.

296
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but outside of that, there's a couple other like

297
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: bench technicals I think with an Iona game once, but

298
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: that was up there. So yeah, great call out there

299
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: probably will probably be at the end of the year,

300
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: one of the worst beats in any sport of the

301
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: entire season. Mike, what he got for rant or do

302
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: you want to get anything off your chest?

303
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 4: Well, quickly, one of the worst bead beats I ever experienced.

304
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: I think I blocked it out so badly I can't

305
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: even remember the team I bet on I just know

306
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: that they're playing New Mexico State, and New Mexico State

307
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: had a promote where all their fans dressed up in

308
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: pajamas and did a pillow fight at mid court at halftime,

309
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: and there was this big, fat guy who fell on

310
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: the court and apparently he greased it up a little bit.

311
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: My point guard first possession of the second half turns

312
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 4: his ankle out of the game, and then it was

313
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: a runaway after that. And I only knew it because

314
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: the ESPN three telecast they showed that there was like

315
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 4: all this mayhem on the court at halftime, and maybe

316
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: that's what screwed things up. So that is always fresh

317
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: in my mind. In terms of rant, that's a little

318
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: bit more topical. At this point, I still think the

319
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: AP voters are scared to put in these mid majors who,

320
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: in my opinion, have proven that they're quality teams, and

321
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: they want to leave a team like Arkansas in the

322
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: top twenty five. Arkisall without Nick Smith Junior. They're not

323
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: a top twenty five team, period, And I would.

324
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: Just score can't shoot. They like two threes a game.

325
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: But I understand that it can be a bridge too

326
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: far for the voters to drop them ole were they

327
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: fourteenth in the AP poll last week. It's like, just

328
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: have some guts and put in a team like New

329
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: Mexico Jalen House going from a high major down to

330
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: he's turned into an absolute star.

331
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: They beat and love him. He plays every play like

332
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: I've always loved him. He plays every play like it's

333
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: the last play of the season. It's He's amazing. Together.

334
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: They're they're legit.

335
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to see them reward them in the same

336
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: way they rewarded Florida Atlantic for this great season they're

337
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: putting together.

338
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: And putting in the top twenty five.

339
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: But at this point that's.

340
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: Nippicking a little bit. But that's as far as I'll

341
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: go in terms of a rant at this point in

342
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: the season.

343
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: Yep. Uh. By the way, this is I mentioned three

344
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: Man Weave does our midweek episode. Someone sent me to

345
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: shirt three man Weave with a giant X through it.

346
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: I don't know who would have known my address to

347
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: send this. I thought I thought it was like a

348
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: grateful Keg thing Keg would have done. He said, Nope,

349
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: I wish I did. I wish it was my bit.

350
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: He didn't. I don't know who sent this. I was

351
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: just joking with Jim Rude. I was like, this is

352
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: going to be like the start of a date line episode.

353
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: You guys are going to go into hiding, like this

354
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: is the first clue, Like, like, what who? I thought

355
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: I was the first one I opened? I said, I

356
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: thought the three man we've got that. I was like,

357
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: this is a weird uh logo to have, like the

358
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: X across her. So if anyone knows or what's the

359
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: claim it, it would help me. I hope the guys

360
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: through then we sleep a little easier at night. But

361
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: let's get into what who if you have futures, what

362
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: your futures are, And then also you can for people

363
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: that aren't familiar with any of us who are tuning

364
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: in for the first time, we can kind of give

365
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: a little bit of background of who your teams are

366
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: from a just a fan perspective as well. I'll start

367
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I have I'm originally from right outside of Philadelphia. I

368
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: went to school at GW. Don't care about GW's basketball team.

369
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: There's zero school spirit. I was there and Pops was there,

370
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: by the way, I was like, they're probably their best team,

371
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: but no school spirit there. It was sad, sad scores fun.

372
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: No football team, that's really what does it. But went

373
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: to grew up without. I didn't have a team. I

374
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: just always love players, and then you know, I started

375
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: betting Benning college basketball for me since high school twenty

376
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: years now, I'm going on twenty years. It's whoever had

377
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: a future on was my team and without. Then I'm

378
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 3: married a Kentucky girl. She went to Kentucky. I moved

379
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: to Lexington. So I'm kind of a Kentucky fan, you know,

380
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: adopted Kentucky fan. I don't. It's not like I'm you know,

381
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: live and die like people that were born here. But

382
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: I root for them. Obviously it's good for my wife

383
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: and a bar shotut to staggering. If you ever down

384
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: in Lexington, buy your drink. But so I'm gonna adopt

385
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: Kentucky fan. But this year my team is TCU. I

386
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 3: had I bought a future on them way back, and

387
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: I rarely do this, but I assumed I thought I

388
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: was kind of taking a stab at Miles and Ball

389
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: would come back. And this is a team They're gonna

390
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: be No, we just talked about the Big twelve. They're

391
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: gonna be tested throughout and number one. I love their coach.

392
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: They're gonna they're they're gonna be Mike. You mentioned this,

393
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: like who can you trust to get to the second weekend? Now,

394
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: they can't shoot, but that's like they're not a team

395
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 3: that's like, oh they're off from three, they can get

396
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: upset number one. This is a team that is elite

397
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: in transition. I mean they look like an NBA team

398
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: in transition. They will get out on the boards and

399
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: then they are who cares that they're missing their threes?

400
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: One of the best, if not the best offensive rebounding

401
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: team in the country. And they have a guard in Miles.

402
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: You can take over a game like that. You know,

403
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: I have three minutes, tight game, I need a guard

404
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: to go down and just get me a bucket. That's

405
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: that's Miles. So I love this team. Experienced, rebounding defense,

406
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: athletic transition, bucket Scalore. I think they're a legit Final

407
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: four threat. Might go a little under the radar, and

408
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: if you don't, you know, I have eighty to one

409
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: and they've been on you know, they blew out Kansas

410
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: State in the Big Twelve. Though, I think you want

411
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: to wait because teams are gonna you're gonna lose two

412
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: to three in a row in this conferences to wait

413
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: to see, you know, at a low point if you

414
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: want to get in. But I believe in TCU, Mike,

415
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 3: let me kick it to you. Where you're from? Uh?

416
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: And uh? Who are your futures if you have any

417
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 3: or targeting.

418
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: So also from the Philly area, grew up in the

419
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: Overbrook Marion Stations spot. So I was always a diehard

420
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 4: Saint Jose fan. And you know, if they win today

421
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: as of recording at this point, looks like they're pretty

422
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: good against LaSalle. You got to play that Lou Brown

423
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: from a major league quotes like, you win today and

424
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 4: you win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak.

425
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: We win one tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It

426
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: has happened before.

427
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: So it'd be nice to see them win three in

428
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 4: a row in the eight ten for the first time

429
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 4: in a minute, but obviously postseason's not in their future.

430
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: I went to Loyal Maryland talk about no school spirit

431
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 4: for a program basketball, one of the worst home court.

432
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 6: Advantages in all of college hoops.

433
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: Although when I was there, they paid a North Baltimore

434
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 4: High school band to come in and play the music and.

435
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: They had a lot of spirit, so that was pretty fun.

436
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: That was about as good as we got in terms

437
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: of firing up the crowd, you know, all two hundred

438
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: and fifty of us. But you know, for college basketball,

439
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: very similar for me. I like to hitch my wag

440
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: into the teams and players I fall in love with you,

441
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: throw in these futures plays, and all of a sudden,

442
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: you have interest threat the entire season. I'll just mention

443
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: the two tickets that I'm the most excited for. I

444
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: got a good number on Houston, at least in my opinion.

445
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 6: I got them at eleven to one.

446
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: I still think they're the safest bet to at least

447
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 4: get to the Sweet sixteen, So there's some opportunities for

448
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: them depending on their path. I think it's matchup dependent

449
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: for them to go to the Final four, but I

450
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: feel pretty good about that. And recently I just bought

451
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 4: back in on Creighton. Creighton was a very polarizing team

452
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 4: because of what they've done, you know, early in the

453
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 4: season and dropping games and opportunities and that losing streak.

454
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 4: But I got them at seventy to one, So at

455
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 4: this point I'm going to touch on it for their

456
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 4: game on Tuesday night against Butler. I think if they

457
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 4: can finally prove they can win outside of Omaha, this

458
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: is a team that has the inside outside mix with

459
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: Shireman and cal Brenner to finally.

460
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: Put it together. Will they do it?

461
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, But at seventy one, I think it's

462
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 4: worth the proposition. So those are the two I'm most

463
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 4: excited about. I got a Houston ticket. I got a

464
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: good number at at forty five to one. But I

465
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: think it's dead without Nick Smith Junior, as we touched

466
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 4: on earlier, But at least according to his father or

467
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: his family camp, he's going to try to give it

468
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 4: a go to fire back up. But I think even

469
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: at this point his knee has been so problematic that

470
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: if he's able to play, is it more than a

471
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: game or two? And realistically, I'm sure there's people in

472
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 4: his ears saying just shut it down and you know,

473
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: be a lottery pick.

474
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: Next next summer. Yeah, yeah, I love love the crate pick.

475
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: If you if this is you know NFL is still

476
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: going on, if there was like an MVP like Clkbrenner,

477
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: I mean, how important is he to everything that Creighton

478
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: wants to do and with him in the lineup, it

479
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 3: is a completely different team as we've seen. I mean

480
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: they were you saw them without him, it was it

481
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: was it was tough. They didn't just no one to

482
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: defend the rim and no one to go to inside.

483
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: That is a yeah. They they're they're for real when

484
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: fully healthy, which they are right now.

485
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: B J.

486
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: I think most know that you're we're gonna talk about

487
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: the Big ten and Iowa guy from Iowa. Uh hope.

488
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have an Iowa future, but

489
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: uh what futures that do you have? Or are you eing?

490
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's funny you say that. So, yes,

491
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: I was.

492
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 5: I was born twenty minutes outside of Iowa City and

493
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 5: eventually I've moved to the Moine area. I've never lived

494
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 5: anywhere outside of Iowa except for a summer in London.

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: That's the only time I've ever actually gone anywhere outside

496
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 5: of this wonderful state.

497
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: But yes, I've actually bought back in at Iowa at

498
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: one hundred to one. They've gone through a little bit

499
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: of a tough stretch in the non conference. Obviously, you know,

500
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: the lost to Eastern Illinois hurt quite a bit. Chris

501
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: Murray didn't play in that game, but Chris Murray, he's

502
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: just every bit as good as Keigan Murray was.

503
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 5: Like his his ability, his scoring ability. He's the number

504
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: one player in shot quality in terms of taking high

505
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: quality shots. You know, Patrick McCaffrey has taken a little

506
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 5: bit of time way hopefully he gets better. But Peyton

507
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: Sandford is now shooting the ball really, really well, and

508
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 5: Iowa is due for a little bit of positive aggression.

509
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Defensively.

510
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 5: Obviously they're outside the top one hundred and Ken Palm

511
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 5: in defensive efficiency, but they are top forty in shock quality.

512
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 5: So I think at one hundred to one in a

513
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 5: Big Ten, which we're going to touch on a little bit,

514
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: where Purdue has looked pretty vulnerable, and then who's the

515
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: next team outside of Purdue that could potentially overtake them.

516
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: Iowa is a team that I think could potentially do that.

517
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: And I don't know a boy u stuck, but I

518
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 5: would rather have Iowa struggle during the regular season and

519
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 5: get hot during March Madness than what happened last season

520
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 5: to both Iowa and Kentucky. So yeah, and to back

521
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: up off you, Mike, I also have to have bought

522
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: back in on Creighton a little bit of a worse

523
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: number at fifty to one, but this is a top twenty,

524
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 5: keen pomp team, top ten shot quality team. They've actually

525
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 5: have the number one strength schedule in the country right now,

526
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 5: just highlights how difficult of a stretch they've gone through,

527
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: and they are not going to be a two or

528
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 5: a three seed. They're going to be a very very

529
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: dangerous four or five. And the biggest thing with betting

530
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: college basketball future is you have to ask yourself, Okay,

531
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: is this team going to be this number by the

532
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 5: time we reach March, And I don't think we're going

533
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 5: to be seeing Creighton at fifty to one, at potentially

534
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 5: a five or a six seed.

535
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm back in with Creighton.

536
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: Like you has already mentioned, Calpinner is just so huge

537
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 5: for them, But I mean, Baili Sharman's one of.

538
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: The shooters in the entire country, which we see.

539
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a like if you look at I

540
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: have Creighton right now as a top ten team in

541
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: my power ratings. Now there's it's kind of like a

542
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, the in the NFL, there's you know, you

543
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: have the top teams and then there's like a more.

544
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 3: It's not like there's a huge difference between you know,

545
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: ten and eighteen. But yeah, fifty to one on Creighton,

546
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: you get what did you have, Mike? Seventy one? Any value?

547
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: That team's gonna be a tough doubt they can score

548
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: the The thing I worry about is with Iowa, was

549
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: you know, we'll talk about this with futures. Just rule

550
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: of thumb, like you don't you want to add up

551
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: just if you go to Ken Palm, add up your

552
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: offensive and defensive efficiency if you're you know, if they

553
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 3: add up to more than fifty's, it's tough. And then

554
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the question with Iowa. Can they get

555
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: that defense down to, you know, a more respectable level,

556
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: which would be the questions. I guess let's just transition

557
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: into the Big ten now since we're talking about Iowa,

558
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: I think so I'll talk Hi. And by the way, Mike,

559
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: I actually went to Saint Jose for grad school. My

560
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: dad is an alum diehard Saint Jose fan have told

561
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: this story before, but I called him. I bet on

562
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State in the I think it was the final

563
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: four lead eve when John Lucas hit that shot. I

564
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: was a drunk college because at ESPN Zone Washington. You see,

565
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: I called him because and as an drunk, asshole college kid,

566
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: and I was like, I told and he hung up

567
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: on me. Uh, didn't talk to me for three weeks.

568
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 3: I was like, am I ever going to talk to

569
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: my dad again?

570
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: It was one of my best young journalistic opportunities. I

571
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: got to interview Phil Martelli the next year and have

572
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 4: like a sit down for an alumni magazine, and I

573
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: just asked.

574
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: Him at the end.

575
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, it was obviously painful for

576
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: me as a Saint Joe's fan. Would you have changed

577
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 4: anything at all at the end of that game? And

578
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 4: He's like, to be honest, you know, we played a

579
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 4: really good game. They played a better game, and the

580
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: last possession I got, you know, I got the ball

581
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 4: in Ejamier's hands and we're going to always roll the dice.

582
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: The only thing he said is he preferred to shoot

583
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 4: a three as opposed to a two at the end

584
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: of the game.

585
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: That's it. So even though it.

586
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: Was painful because it was a once in a lifetime

587
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 4: opportunity to make the Final four, it's not as though

588
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 4: they choked that game or they you know, play really

589
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: poorly on a big stage, and the fact that we

590
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 4: got to knock off Chris Paul and Wake Forest in

591
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 4: the previous round, I think really stuck it to Billy

592
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 4: Packard because he was just railing again sign Saint Jose

593
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: doesn't deserve the number.

594
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: One. Still hates Billy Packer for that. Uh yeah, And

595
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: I'd still feel bad because it is that you say

596
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 3: a once in a lifetime for that is a once

597
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: in a like Saint Joe's once in a program opportunity

598
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: to get that far and then have it going in

599
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: heartbreaking fashion. But anyway, back to the Big ten, I'll

600
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: go team I'm selling and hopefully I'll probably sound like

601
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: an idiot because we're recording this at halftime. I'm selling Perdue. Look,

602
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: Matt Painter is a hell of a coach. They run

603
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 3: great stuff. Zachi, he's just a matchup nightmare because he's

604
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 3: so tall, but I think he's ultimately soft and look

605
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: at their surrounding pieces like yeah, you're gonna collapse, and

606
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 3: then they run great stuff. They're gona get open threes,

607
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: but dependently it's starting like two three stars and every

608
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: time they play the when someone's out or someone's hurt.

609
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: You know, they get that call at Nebraska, they get

610
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: the turner by Ohio State after Key is hurt. I

611
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 3: think this team's running really well from a luck perspective,

612
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: and I think they are at the peak of their value.

613
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking to sell them as much as I can

614
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: in the near future, including today. So after you know,

615
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: they win this game by fifteen and you hear this,

616
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: yes I'm an idiot, and then the team I'm buying

617
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna buy a feature on them is Ohio State.

618
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: I do think look they had when Key went down.

619
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: He's a huge He's huge for their offensive rebounding. But

620
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: I love their coach. I love the stuff that they

621
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: run on offense, and they're they're not two three point

622
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: reliant and they can get a lot of boards. They

623
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: need someone I think the sense of all can be

624
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 3: that guy that just ends up being the go to guy.

625
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: That's really what they're missing. I think a little bit

626
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: like not they don't have a miles right, like I

627
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: need a bucket at the end of the game. But

628
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: I think Ohio State now is the time to buy them.

629
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: Find you find ninety to one. I think on fandle

630
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: I will be betting a future on them today. I'll

631
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: put in the app after you guys listen to this,

632
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: it will probably already be in there. But I think

633
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: that this is the time to buy them. Like they

634
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: couldn't easily beat Purdue, even with Key going down, they

635
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: should have won out Rutgers. You know, it goes to overtime.

636
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: They basically led the entire game, fluky end but love

637
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: the coach, love the stuff they run. And I think

638
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: that they you know, in a year where there's no

639
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: elite team, I think that's a team that can be

640
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: gone like this at the time the tournament comes, and

641
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: I think this is the time of Iohio State. So

642
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: Ohio State is going to be my second future ad

643
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: Let me throw it to you, BJ and just you

644
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: said you mentioned Iowa. Is there other teams at the

645
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: conference buying selling? There's a lot of injury concerns, right

646
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 3: like Indiana just not the same team without Xavier Johnson.

647
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: RaSE Thompson is not there. What are you eyeing in

648
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: the Big Ten that is worthy of bringing up here?

649
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: I'm actually going to be buying, not necessarily from a

650
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: futures perspective, but just like a team that I think

651
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: is going to be a great underdog as we go

652
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 5: forward in the Big Ten seasons. Northwestern, they're currently sitting

653
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 5: at twelve and five. They're five losses of coming against Auburn, Pitt, Rutgers,

654
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: Ohio State, and Michigan, and for whatever reason, they just

655
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: cannot hit a shot to save their life.

656
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: They're three hundred and thirty fifth in effective field well percentage,

657
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: but they're top fifty spacing team, their top five shot

658
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: selection team, in their top twenty five and turnaler percentage allowed.

659
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: So that's what I look for as teams that are

660
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: not gonna turn the ball out. They're getting good shots

661
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: and eventually some of those shots are actually gonna fall down. Plus,

662
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: they are a top fifteen Ken Palm team, They're third

663
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: and two point field goal percent allowed, their top thirty

664
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: internal percentage. Like they are going to be a very

665
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: very good.

666
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: Underdog as they face some of these teams like Purdue,

667
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 5: like Ohio State, where they're gonna be six seven point underdogs.

668
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 5: They're playing Iowa tomorrow, so that's gonna be a little

669
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 5: bit of a difficult situation. But as we go forward

670
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: in the season, sorry, as we go forward in the season,

671
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 5: I think that Northwestern is definitely going to be an

672
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: underdog to buy Plus they've got a ton of experience,

673
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: Like they have three seniors and two juniors and they're

674
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: starting five. So I think that this Northwestern team could

675
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 5: potentially make a run, probably not win the Big Ten,

676
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 5: but definitely makes some noises to go throughout the rest

677
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: of the season.

678
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: Yep, don't mind that all Mike. What are you seeing

679
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: the Big Ten? Either from buyer self perspective or just

680
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: an overall theme.

681
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 4: Well, just to react to both of your point points,

682
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: you know, can Fletcher Lawyer keep shooting like this for

683
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: Purdue because coming into this game against Michigan State he

684
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: was fifteen for thirty from three point range in Big

685
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: Ten play, they were up to almost nine mad threes

686
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: per game in conference play. That once they shoot like

687
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: that from the perimeter, you can't beat Purdue. But I

688
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 4: just don't see that as a long term solution for

689
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: them to be able to balance out their offense. And yes,

690
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 4: Paynter is a great regular season coach, but I need

691
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: to see it in the postseason with basically, I mean,

692
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: he's had this kind of architecture for his team before

693
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: around dominant big and not been able to get it done,

694
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 4: so I'm not in a position to be buying on

695
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: the billet makers. I will bring up something interesting.

696
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: From Pader gets a pass by the way, because Kentucky

697
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: lost to Saint Peters, so people, I think, so no

698
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: one don't gets Purdue shit for losing to Saint Peters

699
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: in the spot of all spots, like they just beat Kentucky,

700
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: how do you lose them? But no one will ever

701
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: remember that because Kentucky lost to and rightfully sobig ahead.

702
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, did digress and.

703
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 4: A shout out to BJA one of my favorite college

704
00:30:59,120 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 4: football trips.

705
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: On a big trip.

706
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: Every year I've been to like forty five major campuses

707
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: for games. Iowa was city, very underrated, had a great

708
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 4: time back college. It was phenomenal, so I had a

709
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 4: great time there, a great atmosphere, waving to the kids,

710
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: all that good stuff. I'll also put on the fact

711
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 4: that I played college fantasy basketball, which means that there's

712
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: six or seven guys that I'm laser focused on on

713
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: a weekly basis, and I have Chris Murray on my team,

714
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: and because I'm watching their games so closely, I've been

715
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 4: keeping an eye on Peyton Sandford and what he meant

716
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: to them in the last month, because he's a guy

717
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: at the end of the year, he's barely playing off

718
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: the bench. He was averaging seven points per game in

719
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 4: their first ten, last for eighteen points per game, and

720
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: that performance with Murray going to the bench early on

721
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: Sunday against Maryland and they still blew out the Terrafins.

722
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: I think that's a good sign for them moving forward

723
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: that they don't need him to don the superman cap

724
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 4: to win games and conference going away.

725
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of.

726
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: Bullish on where Iowa is, but I put him in

727
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 4: the same bucket as a lot of those home and

728
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: away split teams that I've discussed before. I want to

729
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: see it away from Iowa City and put together some

730
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: good performances even if they don't necessarily win, but just

731
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: like do not lay an egg on the road, because

732
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 4: that's what always concerns me with McCaffrey's teams. Finally, for me,

733
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 4: the team that if you want to go on a

734
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: roller coaster ride, why not buckle into the fighting lion

735
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: I because when you look at the ceiling, this year,

736
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: they beat Texas, they beat UCLA, win keeps getting better

737
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 4: and better.

738
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: Underwood blasts the whole team.

739
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: It looks like they got a mutiny on their hands,

740
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, Terarren Shannon Junior, who

741
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: I was worried would just, you know, kind of check

742
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 4: out mentally. He's been playing really, really well, and I

743
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 4: think this now puts them in a ceiling to be

744
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: in the top three in the Big Ten. But also

745
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 4: there's if everything goes wrong, they could be a bottom

746
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: four team. So from a high volatility standpoint, I like

747
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: the fighting lion. I at least to play them until

748
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: this hot streak wanes a little bit, because with him

749
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: playing as well as he is, it's not just scoring

750
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: the basketball. He's a stat sheet stuffer, so he means

751
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: so much to their team. Illinois is a team that

752
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 4: as of right now, it's a buye for me, which

753
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 4: I say with trepidation because we all know how crazy

754
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: they've been this season.

755
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough team to crack. But I don't know why

756
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 3: I just thought of this. But keep in mind teams

757
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: when you're like markets getting every market's getting more efficient

758
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: by the day. If you're betting a favorite in college basketball,

759
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: now you know you're laying you know, somewhere between two

760
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: and six, and you have a guy take a look

761
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: at their at the team, and you have a guy

762
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 3: at the end of the game that is automatic from

763
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: the line. That's gonna just I can't even tell you

764
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: how many covers that's going to decide. I think I've

765
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: lost or pushed three bets fading Xavier because Boom never

766
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: misses a free throw. And then like a guy like

767
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: Sir Jabari Rice of Texas, he's like ninety percent, they

768
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: just get on the ball. He will make every free

769
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: throw down the stretch. I don't know why I just

770
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: thought of that, but keep that in mind. But yeah,

771
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: Big ten, I agree with that. All the thoughts here

772
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: produce down three right now. I see, even if they

773
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: lose this game, I still think that they're going to

774
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: be overvalued.

775
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: One twenty right now to win the Big Ten.

776
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah joke. I know, Mike, you only went you went

777
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: to Iowa for the game, but I would argue that

778
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: Ames is a better.

779
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: Oh shut up.

780
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: Des Moy's a hell of a city too.

781
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, shout out, shout out Drake. Yeah, they were

782
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: the MVC favorite.

783
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: They got that nice skywalk when it's like negative fifteen degrees.

784
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: And then you don't even have to go outside.

785
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: The Knap Center gets rocking when Drake's playing good Man.

786
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: Big big win for Drake this weekend. And you want

787
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: to talk. We talked about home roads bits. Take a

788
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 3: look at Bradley. There is no team that is they

789
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: are checking hide at home. They are a monster on

790
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: the road. They are they are awful. I think shout

791
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: out to Hazelometrics and they I forget. I think it's

792
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: Hazelometrics who has the away from home metric and they

793
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: are dead last in the country, which just it's a

794
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: metric that basically shows that dichotomy between your performance at

795
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: home on the road. Anyway, Yeah, tot further notice, do

796
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: not bet Bradley on the road, only fade them as

00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: Action Network cap.

833
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were a great time for the plug. Yeah,

834
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 3: let's thick. There's some openers out there. Okay, so let's

835
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: before we get to a bet or two if you

836
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 3: want to mention a couple, no harm there, but let's

837
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: talk Kansas Kansas State. Kansas looks like on the open

838
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 3: two and a half point favorite at Kansas State. I'm

839
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: a little worried about the Kansas State defense, especially in transition.

840
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: One of the reasons why I love TCU against them.

841
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 3: They really struggle there. But this is I mean, this

842
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: is the spot of spots for Kansas State. I mean

843
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: they're coming off a game where they got crushed. Kansas

844
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: is like they're winning, but they're winning by two, four three.

845
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 3: Can we trust the Kansas State defense enough in a

846
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: slam home spot here? Because everything that I know and

847
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: then my gut is telling me this is a Kansas

848
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 3: State or nothing that BJ Let me throw it to you.

849
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 3: What do you see here?

850
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. This is Kansas State or nothing.

851
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 5: You know, Kansas, like I already mentioned off the top,

852
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: they're five to zero the Big twelve, with four wins

853
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 5: by four points or less, like they're due for some

854
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 5: negative aggression defensively, especially at the rim, which Kansas State

855
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 5: does get to the rim at a top twenty rate

856
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 5: in the country, and they are also eight from shot

857
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 5: selection and they're very very good in transition, where Kansas

858
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 5: is outside the top one hundred as well. So Kansastate

859
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 5: offensively should be able to thrive here. The thing that

860
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 5: worries me though, stuck and you know, I don't typically

861
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 5: look into pass performances because obviously teams change from year

862
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 5: to year, but Kansas has won fifteen of the last

863
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 5: sixteen in this rivalry, which you know obviously that will

864
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 5: be on the minds of Kansas State. But again I

865
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 5: agree with you, can Kansas State good enough stops to

866
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 5: win this game. They didn't look that great against TCU

867
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 5: over the weekend. It was obviously a terrible spot for

868
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 5: them coming off uh you know, one hundred point performance

869
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 5: against Texas and a couple of other way.

870
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: Like we're tough. It was just a terrible spot.

871
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: A terrible spot. Yeah, this is slam spot here for

872
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Two and a half.

873
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: Would love to get three. Look I have it here,

874
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: get year.

875
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: In my notes, I was like, if Kansasdate gets to

876
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: three and a half or four, I'm there.

877
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, two and three, Yeah, it's I think Kansas

878
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: in away is like the team that are getting away

879
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: with it.

880
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: But they're like they know they are able to do that.

881
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they know good they are, So they're kind

882
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: of like they're not as focused as they probably will become.

883
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: March and stuff will have them. So they're just right

884
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: to get picked off here. And it's not it's not

885
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: I think are derailed there. Sees, Okay, they lost to

886
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 3: Kansas State. This is this team's going to be there

887
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 3: in the end. I think this is the spot that

888
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: they're just going to get picked off. Do you disagree,

889
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: Mike with what do you see here in this matchup?

890
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 4: I mean there's lots alike with KSE State. They share

891
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: the ball incredibly well. They're six nationally and assist to

892
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 4: made bucket percentage in the whole country. My concern here

893
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 4: is that they get worked.

894
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 6: On the offensive glass.

895
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 4: They're two hundred and fortieth in terms of giving up

896
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: offensive boards. And here comes Jalen Wilson double double in

897
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: two of his last three games. Keante Johnson. It's critical

898
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: that he plays well in this game. And you've seen

899
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: what's happened lately for him. He's had a lot of

900
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: turnovers seventeen turnovers in his last four games for a

901
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 4: guy that shouldn't be in turnover worthy situations all that often.

902
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 4: So I think if Wilson really dominates him, then all

903
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 4: the pressure slides over to their Arkansas Little Rock transfer

904
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: Marquise Noel has been phenomenal, amazing, and when he scored

905
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: seventeen plus this year, if they're six and zero, when

906
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 4: and when you look at games where he scored less

907
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 4: than that that's two of their blowout losses to.

908
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 6: Butler by double digits on the road one of those.

909
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

910
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 6: I think I agree with your assessment from both of

911
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 6: you guys, where if you're going to play it, play

912
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 6: it on the money line Case State gets this win.

913
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: Otherwise it's a pass because I just don't see Kansas

914
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 4: doing enough right now at a really high level to

915
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 4: justify them winning comfortably by seven eight points, which is

916
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 4: where you want to be in a spot lay in

917
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 4: points like this. So yeah, I think it's a pass

918
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 4: for me, But I'm intrigued by what Case State has

919
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 4: been able to do and all the holes they've been

920
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 4: able to plug in the transfer portal.

921
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, this is yeah. I agree. I think it's

922
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 3: Canas State's spot and nothing three would be lovely and

923
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 3: another plug. Make sure you follow along on the award

924
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 3: winning action or gap to see what we do end

925
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 3: up betting for tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, Slate, let's call

926
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 3: out a spot or two for what you have as

927
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: your favorite bet. I guess as of now there are

928
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: openers out there. I'm going to start. We just talked

929
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: about the loaded Big twelve Texas Tech is winless. They

930
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: lost by six at TCU, lost by three at home

931
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 3: to Kansas, lost in overtime to Oklahoma, then got destroyed

932
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 3: Byowa State. Lead the whole game at Texas in a

933
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: great effort, lose by two. Now they're at home against

934
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 3: Baylor in an absolute slam spot. I think they're gonna

935
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: be one point favorite peer and they're also a different

936
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 3: team now that Amac has returned him in the middle.

937
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: Just makes them much more dynamic from multiple perspectives. And

938
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 3: I think that their defense here can slow down Baylor.

939
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: This is a great crowd here, This is a Texas

940
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 3: Tech slam spot here. I think they get their first

941
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 3: win over a baalor team that's just not right right now.

942
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 3: I know that you know they've won two straight. They

943
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: looked okay against Oklahoma State, they won at West Virginia,

944
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 3: but they're still searching for that interior play. It just

945
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: they just haven't been that impressive. I love that I

946
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 3: saw from Texas Tech over the weekend. I think they

947
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 3: get this win here. I think it's a great spot

948
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: to back them at minus one. Are on the money line.

949
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Baylor certainly needed Flagler to play at

950
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 4: an all American level for them to achieve their preseason goals,

951
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 4: and even though as you point out, they won those

952
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 4: last two, he's not taking those games over. And he

953
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 4: should have been a good enough three point shooter coming

954
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 4: into the year to be able to have those games

955
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 4: where he cans four or five trays and really takes over,

956
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: but that hasn't materialized.

957
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 6: So I agree with you. Despite their overall.

958
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 4: Talent level at this point in the season, there's enough

959
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: of a body of work to say like, is this

960
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 4: their ceiling and they're just not going to get any better?

961
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah. For those not familiar with amac is the

962
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: Utah Valley transfer six' eleven. KID i think ed what

963
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: twelve or fourteen Against, texas he just changes that entire.

964
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: Team he didn't play this weekend was the first game

965
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: that he played this. YEAR. Pj let me go to

966
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: you any thoughts there or any other game that you have.

967
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: Circle, Yeah i'm going to go to THE sec And

968
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: i'm gonna Take Mississippi. State Ken palm has a.

969
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: Sick can they?

970
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 5: Score N they question stuck because the last time these

971
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: two teams, played which was about two weeks, Ago tennessee

972
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 5: opened on a sixteen doer run and beat them by thirty.

973
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 5: Four they went seventy seven percent from the floor in

974
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: twelve of twenty twenty one from behind the, arc AND

975
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 5: i think what you saw Against Saturday saturday Against kentucky

976
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 5: is that shooting aggression is going to come eventually For.

977
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 5: Tennessee it actually obviously happened On, saturday But Mississippi state

978
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 5: in that game Against tennessee only two of those twenty

979
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 5: two or twenty one three pointers were considered open three point.

980
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 5: Shots in, Fact Mississippi state actually won the game the

981
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 5: shot quality, game which is kind of astonishing considering they

982
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 5: lost by thirty. Four but it's a team that's just

983
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 5: due for a lot of positive. Aggression they're one and

984
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 5: four in THE sec right. Now they won every single

985
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 5: game by shot. Quality even Against auburn On, Saturday Missisppi

986
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: state went over eighteen from behind the three point. Line

987
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 5: now they're only shooting a little over twenty eight percent

988
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 5: for on the. Season AND i understand That kentucky is

989
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 5: the number one defensive team On Ken, pump But Mississippi

990
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 5: state cannot continue to shoot this bad from the. FLOOR i,

991
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 5: mean there's a little over sixty one percent from the

992
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 5: free throw, line like that's one of the worst marks

993
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 5: in the. Country And, TENNESSEE i, mean they're just really

994
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 5: not that great an offensive team and that was just

995
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 5: on Display, saturday and It's. Kentucky like they're only shooting

996
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 5: a little over thirty three percent for behind.

997
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 3: It you turned over too much turn over.

998
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 5: Time Plus Mississippi state a top ten turnover team, defensively

999
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 5: So Missispy state also top ten in defensive efficiency as.

1000
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: Well so this is just one of those classic like

1001
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 5: everybody's gonna, say oh my, gosh they just completely blew

1002
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 5: the doors off from the last.

1003
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: Time of Course i'm going to Take. Tennessee SO i.

1004
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 3: Love these spots, too when you're like the highly ranked

1005
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: team lost and then everyone thinks that they're going to

1006
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: bounce back on the, road and you usually can snag

1007
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 3: a little bit of value, there SO i don't hate. It,

1008
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah tennessee's opponents are shooting twenty one point three percent from,

1009
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: three the single season. RECORD i Think Norfolk state has

1010
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: it at twenty five point three. Percent oh my, gosh

1011
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 3: they're at twenty. One like this isn't some defense that

1012
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: we've never. Stirred great, defense but it's not some defense

1013
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: that we've never seen. Before the teams are gonna shoot

1014
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: twenty percent from, Three so, yeah there's some regression Coming tennessee's.

1015
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: Way and if they get they get away with a

1016
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 3: lot of stuff on the defensive, end or think great

1017
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: crafty grab and hold and they take charges And Mississippi

1018
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 3: state might get some calls here as. WELL i agree

1019
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 3: with it's a great spot For Missippi. State mike what he.

1020
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 6: Got i'm gonna try to buy myself some.

1021
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 4: Time if anyone can look up The Creighton butler opener or, projection.

1022
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: It's creton in mindus six At butler. Six i'm still.

1023
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: Gonna roll the dice On. CREIGHTON i think they're gonna

1024
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: get hot at this point in the. Season you'll get

1025
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: what they did in their last, game sixty points out

1026
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 4: of the trio of Cal, Brenner shireman And Trey. Alexander

1027
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 4: that's the offensive.

1028
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: Engine if that can.

1029
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 4: TRAVEL i think they're good enough to win The Big East,

1030
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 4: tournament you, know Come, march AND i think they're going

1031
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 4: to put it, together and this is an opportunity to

1032
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 4: show it against A butler team THAT i think is

1033
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 4: going to be outgunns in this particular, game So.

1034
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 6: I'll lay the.

1035
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: SIX i was hoping it'd be a little bit closer to.

1036
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 4: Five i'll probably play it up to. Seven but The

1037
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 4: Blue jays at this point in the, season IT'S i

1038
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 4: think the stink of that four to five game losing

1039
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 4: streak is now finally off of, them and it's gonna

1040
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 4: take a little bit for the public to catch.

1041
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 3: Up but a game like, this say they had one

1042
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 3: one or, no many baits too For butler HAD.

1043
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 4: I know that that is absolutely, huge and that.

1044
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: They had their one game without them, BUMP i, Think

1045
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: and then now it's the second, game but that's.

1046
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 4: Massive just, defensively it's gonna require them to put extra

1047
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 4: attention On Calc. BRENER i think it's going to result

1048
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 4: in a lot of open looks on the perimeter for

1049
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: The Blue.

1050
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: Jays in this. Game so gonna go ahead and slam

1051
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: creating in this.

1052
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 4: Spot AND i think this is going to be the

1053
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 4: best number you're going to get them for a little,

1054
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 4: bit so might as well take advantage at this.

1055
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: Point by the, Way RICE i Need i'm going to

1056
