Speaker 2: the Three Man Weave, Mattie Cox. We're gonna cover the

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: Big twelve, the ACC and the PAC twelve. Busy, busy day.

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful time of the year. Yesterday recording the

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Sunday morning was awesome. They should just I want them

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: to play the Big South Tournament again. Just play the

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: back again for fun, over time, craziness everywhere, buzzer beaters,

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: it was pretty insane. Mattie's going on.

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: Brother living large, stuck, Big South, and yeah, throw a

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: sun in that mix too, like those just based on

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: the entertainment value they've given us the last few tournaments,

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: we need to elevate them to the main board next year.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: I'm tired of seeing the six digits next to their

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: name on the rotation sheet, so motion to promote both

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: those conferences.

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: I think they've earned it. Not for the books agree,

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 3: but we'll say.

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been in an exciting weekend and there's only

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: more excitement to come. We are officially in the heart

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: of March. But let's get right into it. Let's start

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: off with the Pac twelve. Arizona is obviously the favorite

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: here as the one seed. They are minus one sixty.

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: As I always say, shop around, I'm just going based

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: off one book here. Odds are pretty limited as we're

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: doing this, but Arizona is a favorite round minus one sixty.

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: They're the top seed in this tournament will be played

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: in Vegas. Top four seeds get a buy into the

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: quarterfinals on Thursday. Eight through twelve seeds will play in

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: the first round on Wednesday, and then in order for

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: that one of those teams to cut down the nets,

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: they would have to win four games in four days,

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: with the championship being played on Saturday. As far as

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: housekeeping is concerned, because I'll go through this for every league,

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: especially when we get to the Big twelve lots of

45
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: injuries to note and monitor as far as the PAC

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: twelve is concerned. A team that's not a player, but

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: it's worth mentioning. Jose Perez for Arizona State left the

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: program yesterday or the day before, so they had an

49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: impressive forty seven point outing against UCLA, So that's definitely

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: worth noting, especially as you're handicapping these first round matchups.

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: I'd also mentioned Colorado was making me look a little better.

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: I'd a Final four future on them, and they were.

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: I just looked at the odds this morning. Actually it's like, okay,

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: they can went away from the mountain top. I'm starting

55
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: to be a little bit titilated by this bunch, no question.

56
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I played the cour future and then I was like,

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: maybe I should have just played weighted and played them

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: to make the tournament. At four to one, I think

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: their favorites to make the tournament now. But they are hot.

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: They've won six straight. But they do have some injury concert.

61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: Cody Williams potential first round draft pick, he's been out

62
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: with an ankle injury. Julian Hammond has been out. Da

63
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: Silva has just been playing at an incredible level and

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: obviously kJ Simpson one of the best point guards in

65
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: the league, and then you know Eddie Lampkin doing work

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: on the offensive glass. Inside. They are a dangerous team

67
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: that's dealt with a lot of injuries. They are the

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: three seed in the bottom half of the bracket. They

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: would have to take on the winner of a fading

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Utah team and you know, bad Arizona State team without Perez,

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: and then presumably play Washington State. Washington State is you know,

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: I love Kyle Smith. They kind of faded down the

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: stretch a bit, and.

74
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Pete, I think they hit their plateau, right, yeah,

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: how much they.

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Maybe hit a little bit of a wall. I think potentially,

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: But they lost to to four. They lost at home

78
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: to Washington. They also lost that Arizona State. They really

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: should have lost at home to USC too, so they

80
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: could have easily dropped three or four to close out

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: the year. They split with Colorado during the regular season

82
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: if that's the two to three matchup. But potentially, I mean,

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, Washington State, maybe you know, Stanford could cause

84
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: them some trouble, just because Stanford has these games where

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: they go, yeah, berserk from three and they go like

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty seven from three, So that's something potentially

87
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. But Colorado plus five hundred,

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: I can't get there with their odds, mainly just because

89
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: I watched them twice against Arizona and they give up

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: ninety seven and ninety nine, and in the second time

91
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: it was at home in a dream situational spot like

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: the dream of dreams, Arizona coming off a triple overtime

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: game in Utah. So I can't get the five to

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: one Oregon. I just can't see them beating Arizona. They're

95
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: the four seed here. At ten to one, they would

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: take on the winner of UCLA Oregon State. Ucla I

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: can't get to just because of their offense. It is

98
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: way too anemic, crowded.

99
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 4: Just gives me like, I feel like that team's a corpse.

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 4: There's a few, there's a couple of corpses in this field.

101
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 4: I think that's one of them. But yeah, Oregon getting

102
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: double the value of Washington and Colorado intrigues me. Obviously

103
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: you have Arizona lingering there, but I don't know Oregon.

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: I've been banged up all year, but they Dana Almonds

105
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: got some turning mojo in them, that might be one

106
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: I might look at.

107
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean in a tournament setting, with the way

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: that they he changes his defenses, They're a tough prep.

109
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: But you know, this is a conference tournament where teams

110
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: are fairly familiar.

111
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: With them, exactly right.

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: The team that intrigues me the most is USC at

113
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: fifty to one. So if you look over the past

114
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: four weeks on Torvik where we can filter to build

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: our narratives. But I just went back to the four weeks.

116
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Just happened to be the day after they lost by

117
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: one hundred to Stanford when Stanford hit sixteen threes. But

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: they're the seventeenth ranked team in the country. Over the

119
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: past four weeks, they've gone five and two. They're two

120
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: losses double overtime to Colorado on the game they were

121
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: up the entire time, and then at Washington State in

122
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: the game they led the entire time. This is a

123
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: team that so if you using if they played the

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: same level they played over the past month, I'd have

125
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: their odds. Which is hard to say because you also

126
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: have to take the full body work. But they dealt

127
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: with a ton of injuries. You have to say that

128
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: they're not the you know, This is a team that

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: was picked second preseason. One of the best backcourts in

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: the country. Isaiah Kyllier is a dog.

131
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, lightbulbs on there.

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: Sure he is playing out of his mind. You have

133
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: Boogie Ellis, who can go off for thirty on any

134
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: given night. Then you have like you have a ton

135
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: of size. You have two potential like defensive player the

136
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Year types like PAC twelve defensive player of the Year

137
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: types in Kobe Johnson and Joshua Morgan. I think Morgan

138
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: actually won Defensive Player of the Year.

139
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: Johnson had what nineteen six steals and four dimes against Arizona.

140
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: Just beat him, right, And that's who That's who you're

141
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: gonna catch in the second round if you if they

142
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: can advance. So I'll wait you. That's team I wrote

143
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: down to our us. He circled underline bolded the whole

144
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: nine yards.

145
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Obviously the.

146
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Player type two that can hit some hit threes and like,

147
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: so this team is a potential bid Steel. Now they

148
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: got to get by Washington Arizona, two teams that they

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: just beat. They beat Arizona, they beat they won at

150
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Washington and they should have won at Washington State. They

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: could have easily beat Colorado, They've lost the double overtime.

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: This team's dangerous. Now Arizona's gonna be waiting for them.

153
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: They just beat Arizona. So it's like a tough spot

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: that because they won that game, they went from the

155
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: eleven to the nine. I think the eleven would have

156
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: been the much easier path. Yep. But like fifty to one,

157
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: with all that talent, I think they're worth a little flyer.

158
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that this way, right.

159
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: So if you get fifty to one, they get past Washington,

160
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: which I think we'd agree is a little bit more

161
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: dangerous of a threat than meets the eye. I mean,

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: playing better, a little healthier, But I mean I think

163
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 4: Hopkins is well, you know, the coach to be named

164
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Danny Sprinkle here in a second, I think that team

165
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 4: is going.

166
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: To fold in just the way USC is playing.

167
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: I think they get past them, but they beat Arizona again,

168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: I think we just saw. While it's a bad spot,

169
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 4: I think we at least convinced that on the same

170
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: court they looked, you know, they could hang.

171
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: They get that win, then.

172
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 4: You're just an absolute gold hedge opportunity, right because by

173
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: that point they'll be favored of the next two games,

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: you would think, like the way they're playing, the way

175
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: the odds makers will react to their pricing against Oregon

176
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: or UCLA and then in the final against Washing and say, Colorado,

177
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a good chance you're getting a favorite

178
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: where you can hedge with a good dog in the

179
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: semis in the final. So yeah, kind of like looking

180
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: at it, like, Okay, fifty to one, is that a

181
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: good price that they beat Washington in Arizona, It's like, yeah,

182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: I kind of think so they just beat Arizona and

183
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: Washington's basically like the walking wounded right now, So that yeah,

184
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 4: I think that's the best value bet on the board.

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: Colorado is probably my second pick, but I think USC

186
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: is the best play here.

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean maybe because Colorado is playing so well,

188
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: be like a pick if they get by, if they

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: get to the.

190
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: Right, but I don't think.

191
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd bex closed and they would not be a

192
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: major dog USC in the semi finals at all.

193
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: So and if you ProCheck that out, just a money

194
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: line rollover would be around, you know, take five to

195
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: one against Arizona, small favorite against Washington, pick pick pick great, Ye,

196
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: I think they would be a favorite over Oregon.

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: I think so too.

198
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: But that's around you know, forty fifty to one.

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: And that's fairly okay, right exactly exactly.

200
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's there's there's like you could have you know,

201
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: a team like Utah get there. You could have an

202
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: Oregon go down to you.

203
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: See la, I mean Oregon State winning. Tinkle's done it

204
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: before when we know when no one saw it coming.

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: So I think this is like the of all the

206
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: cliche dark horse chadar for these confrace turns. I think

207
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 4: this one truly has the most Every team except Arizona State.

208
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: I think could win a game or two, even Oregon State,

209
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: as crazy as that sounds, just because of the way

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 4: they Tinkles track record in this tournament, the way they

211
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: can mix the match defense is Stanford when they're healthy,

212
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: Spencer Jones is in there. They're goods as good as

213
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: anyone's in this league. And the Darling cal if Mark

214
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: Matt's and the Dancing Bear, I think we've seen some

215
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 4: uptick from them recently.

216
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: They don't have a ton of depth.

217
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how they play in a tournament setting,

218
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: but I think they could easily march to the Semis

219
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: in a hot streak with the the Triumvirau of Jalen's

220
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 4: No Jalen's that's right. So yeah, so back to the

221
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: point about another reason why you know, taking that USC

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: flyer is good from a futures for EFECT, I've not

223
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: the money on Rollers because, yeah, I think you will

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: see some mayhem chaos throughout the rest of the bracket here.

225
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they you know, this is a team that

226
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: they're they're gonna get. You know, you're you're just gonna

227
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: get You're not gonna go through too many draughts with

228
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: the way Kylier's playing and being able to get to

229
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: the rim. They'll just have some dumb turnovers for long stretches.

230
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, while you're the biggest culprit in that regard.

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like they he can just whenever the end

232
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: to score, He'll just get to the rim at will.

233
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: And their defense, you know, so it's a fifty to

234
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: one shot. Their defense, you know, to play a lot

235
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: of zone. They're long, and this is one of the

236
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: reasons I like them against Arizona. I bet them last night,

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: is because they just have a bunch of bodies like

238
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: Uchuku Johnson that they can that they can uh excuse me.

239
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: I think I said Kobe Johnson before josh Wa Morgan

240
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: that I mentioned him.

241
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, yeah, he's great.

242
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: That's like, I think, the biggest unsung hero in this

243
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: whole bracket. Like he was hurt and they weren't good

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: and they got him back, and like, since he's been healthy,

245
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: I think he's been a key part as to why

246
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: they've been so much better. I mean he's a defensive

247
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: anchor for sure.

248
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but their defense because they play a lot of

249
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: zone and they're long, they're there, they give up a

250
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: lot of threes, which just increases the variants.

251
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: Which is what you want exactly, yep, precise that you want.

252
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: With a longer shot. So yeah, I think USC is

253
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: the look here.

254
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: I mean, how about this stuff there, they're dead last

255
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: and pac twelve and defensive free throw percentage completely luck

256
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: based and dead last and three point percentage, which I

257
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: think we'd agree they do give up some easy looks,

258
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: no question, out of that zone. But you're number one

259
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 4: in the conference in two point percentage defense, plock right,

260
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: Like you're protecting the rim turn people over again. I

261
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: think you create the variants in the in the parts

262
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: of the game you want to, and you roll the dice,

263
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: you live with the rest.

264
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, they are looking they on the season,

265
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: they're guarded jump shot rate allowed, they're in the sixty

266
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: eight percent tile, so they're you know, they're not giving

267
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: up a ton of open threes fifteenth percentile in points

268
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: per possession on guarded jumpers, eighth percentile and on guard

269
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: so everyone's making jump shot against them. Well, teams got

270
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: thirty eight percent, so there's some little potential looming regression

271
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: there from a jump.

272
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, their top fifty year right, just a piggyback their

273
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: top fifty in both percentage allowed at the rim and

274
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: percentage of attempts, So they don't allow. They don't allow

275
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: much after them to begin with, and when when you

276
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: do get there, you're not getting an easy bucket. To

277
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: your point, funneling people into the no man's land, inefficient

278
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: areas be it the zoner.

279
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: And they do play some man still as well.

280
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: I know they mix a match, but whatever it is effective,

281
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: and yeah, I think there's definitely there's definite value there.

282
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a team that just had so many injuries,

283
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: so much talent, and then you're because of that, you're

284
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: not able to build continuity, and I feel like they're

285
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: just starting to do that. And they also can come

286
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: into this tournament just playing completely loose, no expectations. With

287
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: all that talent, I think they're worth a flyer.

312
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: Would just to be so nice in me with the

313
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: ten teamer.

314
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: But it's let's head to the Big twelve, which will

315
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: take place in Kansas City, Missouri. Kicks off Tuesday with

316
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: two first round playing games pretty much. UCF takes on

317
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State and Cincinnati will face West Virginia. The top

318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: four seeds get double buys into the quarters on Thursday.

319
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: That's Houston, Iowa State, the top two seeds Baylor and

320
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, and five through ten seeds. Six teams get

321
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: a single bye into the second round on Wednesday. Very

322
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: odd to see Kansas as a sixth seed playing in

323
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: the second round. Most losses they've had in Big twelve play.

324
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: I think since nineteen eighty nine ninety Houston clear favorite

325
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: here minus one thirty five in this thing, which I

326
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: think is at least close to fair value. I don't

327
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: see any value in playing them. Iowa State plus two

328
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: seventy five, Baylor plus seven fifty, Kansas twelve to one,

329
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: BYU fourteen to one, Texas Tech twenty to one, Texas

330
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: fifty to one, TCU sixty five to one, o U

331
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: one hundred to one, k State three hundred to one.

332
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't think we believe any other teams playing on

333
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: Tuesday can win five games in five days through this

334
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: going Would you agree with that?

335
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: No? I would agree.

336
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: However, I do have that there's a team in that

337
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: foursome I do I think is worth maybe taking a

338
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: flyer on. If you're looking to maybe hedge bred at

339
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: that point. That could be a money line roll over

340
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: type of situation too.

341
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: But but no, I just going back for the data. UCF.

342
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

343
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: I like UC quite a bit.

344
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean their d is nationally elite, and.

345
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: It's been all the way good since DJ Walker has

346
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: been back. Another team like USC had some disjointed or

347
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 4: rotations when their back court it's not a back where

348
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: I love, but it's a high variance backcourt for sure.

349
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: With some of the tough shots, I mean the shot

350
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: they maybe it's Houston for stretches there were like super impressive,

351
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: Like I think that's a type of DNA with that

352
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 4: backbone of their defense. Oklahoma State Young, I don't think

353
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: they're gonna post much for a threat here. I just

354
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: don't in BYU outside of the Marriott Center. They've played

355
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: well outside. You know, they played pretty well away from

356
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: home BYU, but they've been so much better at home.

357
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: I like that you get those two back to back

358
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: and then Texas Tech if you're gonna draw one of

359
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 4: the top four seeds, like with the injuries that Tech's had,

360
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: that's where you want to be in the bracket for sure.

361
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: Like BYU.

362
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: If you're a BYU fan, like you're liking your chops

363
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 4: at that for all two. So I think there's a

364
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: good chance UCF can win three in a row and

365
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: just be kind of a sitting duck for Houston.

366
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: But at five hundred to one, I don't know. You

367
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: tell me.

368
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I might just play UCF game to game

369
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 4: until we get to the Semis. But now there's no way.

370
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's kind of dead money throwing. Someone's actually

371
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 4: like you could play a Final four future in this

372
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: in this bracket, whichuld be kind of cool. I think

373
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 4: UCF's got a good set up here to make a

374
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: cute little Cinderello noise that properly ends with the Houston

375
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: thrashing on Friday.

376
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I don't mind that. If if as soon

377
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: as you said one team, it would be UCF. I

378
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 2: mean they're twelve and adjusted defensive efficiency, I mean they

379
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: can't shoot. But you got to keep in mind that

380
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: Shami Allen was really important that defense too. He missed

381
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: two games in League Player that they lost. They won.

382
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: They recently won at Oklahoma State. They played BYU twice tough.

383
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: Both games lost by two.

384
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah two in provo, Yeah, which is not easy to do,

385
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 2: and they shredded by They put up I don't know

386
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: how that offense scored eighty eight, but they did seventy.

387
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: Some possessions help, I guess.

388
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were very close. That they played in Lubbock,

389
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: one of the hardest places to play. That was a

390
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: two point game of the Minute to Go. They played

391
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: without Diallo in that game was important offensive.

392
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: Game and Tech cat Washington too, right, So no Diallo

393
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: and Washington, that's both that'll be flipped. Actually, I don't

394
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 4: have the updent of Washington status for the TEA.

395
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't either, so that the key injuries to keep

396
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: in mind here. Yeah, I could call Washington didn't have

397
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: a boot on, but he didn't play, so they might

398
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: just be resting him for the NCAA tournament because I

399
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: think mchaslym brought him back way too soon. I think

400
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: it was at UCF and right, I think was it. Yeah, Washington,

401
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: he came in and then he reinjured his ankle. He

402
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: only played thirteen minutes. So mchaslyn has been quoted saying, like,

403
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: we want to be really cautious now, and I think

404
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: he kind of regrets rushing him back, So he might

405
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: have been really cautious. And Tech is a completely different

406
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: team one away from home and without Washington. I mean,

407
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: he's big, getting they don't.

408
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 4: Start anyone taller than six seven, Like it's just weird

409
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 4: to think that, like that's a Texas Tech team with

410
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: I mean literally it's just a bunch of wings and

411
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: pop Isaacs and Joe Tussat doing doing their thing in

412
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 4: the BAP court. So I mean that's a game where

413
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: UCF grabs twenty five offensive rebounds or something, you know,

414
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: it could be a blood bath upfront.

415
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Texas Tech is not like they're they're gonna

416
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: shoot a ton of threes. And if they don't have Washington,

417
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: that's the that's the top four seed that you want

418
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: to face. So yeah, I don't mind UCF as a

419
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 2: super long long shot powerball ticket. And Houston, you know,

420
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: maybe there's a part of them that's just like I mean, Samson,

421
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: They're not gonna lose on purpose. Samson loves winning. But right, right, right,

422
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: I have some depth issues. You know, there's no Tuggler.

423
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: Now there's a team that I mean, it's amazing what

424
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: they've done despite their injuries. They lost Arsenal earlier in

425
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: the season, Ramon Walker's out for the year, and Tugler

426
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: without him, their defense takes a hit and then their depth.

427
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: So like for a team that fouls a lot, you know,

428
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: if any of their bigs get in foul trouble, that's

429
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: I have a Houston future. That's what I'm really worried

430
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: about in the tournament because then you're going to like

431
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: Laithe who's so raw, and it's a huge drop off.

432
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 4: I mean, France, I just readized Francis fouled outlast game

433
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: against Kansas. He played ten minutes at eight points, ten minutes,

434
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: five fouls didn't matter because they won by thirty.

435
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: But no, I think that's a real risk too. I

436
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: think the depth of front.

437
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 4: There, they actually become Roberts Gets already gone.

438
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So so maybe Houston with like some of

439
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: their depth concerns. I mean, look, they they maybe they

440
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: could put they lost a TCU and they beat Oklahoma

441
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: the buzzard. It's not and both those teams will be

442
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: playing for their tournament lives. It's not out of the

443
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: realm of possibilities that one of those teams upsets Houston

444
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals. So yeah, if you want to throw.

445
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: Some couch change, yeah, exactly, no more.

446
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: Uf that's that would be the super long shot. But

447
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: with Houston in the top half, Texas Tech injury questions

448
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: in most scenarious, Houston's gonna get through to the championship,

449
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: but they could get picked off. You know, you got

450
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: a Texas Tech team's gonna shoot a ton of threes.

451
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: You gotta have shot makers to beat that Houston team

452
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: and if Washington comes back, but outside of the Powerball

453
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: ticket in the top half, I'm targeting the bottom half

454
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: of the bracket for a potential future that's more than

455
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: couch change. And the way that I look at this

456
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: is hugely by the way. He should be back for Oklahoma.

457
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: He's been out and then they since the other injuries.

458
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: I do think ou is a pretty good I think

459
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 4: Moser has a pretty good playbuck for Houston. Uh, I

460
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 4: mean that game was sort of anomaly and how high

461
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: scoring it was. They lost at the buzzer. Uh, they're

462
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 4: in Norman, But I think with Hugly and some size,

463
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: given Houston's crippling interior size, I think Oklahoma can give

464
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: Houston another close one as well. So I think you

465
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 4: could see some chaos at the top part there if

466
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 4: the series.

467
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: Can be TCU who I just t see you. I'm

468
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: kind of completely out on.

469
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: I think they've kind of lost their lost their way

470
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 4: without du front, no rim protection. I think they're kind

471
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: of an identity crisis right now. So I think O,

472
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: you could give Houston a good punch if they get

473
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: past the horn Frogs.

474
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Oklahoma is in. I think TCUs maybe in.

475
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: But tc loses this game.

476
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: They're both on the nine seed line per bracket matrix.

477
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: Now that's pre yesterday.

478
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: This is that. Yeah, so they're going to drop to

479
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: ten and yeah, so the.

480
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: TCU has a non conference that's rated three fifty seventh.

481
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: Do you know what might get TCU in the tournament?

482
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: I mean if they're in, Oh yeah, I think so.

483
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: I think no, no, no, I'm saying they are. But

484
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they have that win over Houston. But

485
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 2: you know what's going to get them in? That fucking

486
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: miss call against Georgetown. They should have lost the Georgetown.

487
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 4: Oh try, they should have lost that game. Yeah, COOLi

488
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 4: was described about that ole. No, actually he played the

489
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 4: high road there.

490
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

491
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: So if they lost that game, I think they would

492
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: be on the right now, definitely be on the outside

493
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: looking at which just shows you how crazy that all

494
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: this is.

495
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 4: Would you like a team on the bottom half of

496
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 4: the bracket. And Texas was the one I wanted to

497
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: briefly discuss. I think that's a more serious, a more

498
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 4: legitimate play.

499
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: I just wanted to look at Oklahoma TCU. Oklahoma lost

500
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: their only meeting TCU was at TCU. But Oklahoma generally

501
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: is a really good transition defense. They do have some

502
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: turnover issues, which.

503
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: Americas, and they've had those those point guard injury and

504
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: mcclum has been banged up and and Uson's like they

505
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 4: were playing without a point guard for half the game

506
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 4: against Cincinnati and it was lost. And I think you

507
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: could tell it's starting to catch up now. Texas was

508
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 4: on fire yesterday. I'm not gonna sort of a you know,

509
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 4: the Horns caught heat there. But I love Moser. I

510
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 4: just wish he had a little more juice in the

511
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: back court. And I don't think the columns all the

512
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: way healthy. That's my one concern. It doesn't look like

513
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 4: he's fully himself and they need his shot like his

514
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 4: shot making is like the you know, that's kind of

515
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: the Kripstie. A lot of these defenses that really show

516
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 4: it up.

517
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the one good thing is that if

518
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: you get I think Hugle's coming back, we'll see how

519
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: much he can give them. Because TCU's rim defense and

520
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: post defense that horrible.

521
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not existent.

522
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: It's like I'm saying TCU and Texas Tech like you

523
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 4: have to readjust your frame of mind about what these

524
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 4: teams are this year just different, yep yep.

525
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, in the bottom half. Here's my problem with

526
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: Texas at fifty to one, with all their talent, that's

527
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: definitely an intriguing long shot. In order to get to

528
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: the semis, you gotta beat Kansas State and Iowa State.

529
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: So what does that mean? Brawls? Yeah, get hurt, brawls

530
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: like you're just going to be beat up and then say,

531
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: then you get through a semi, then you're like, yeah,

532
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: Houston waiting for you. So it's like a it's a

533
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 2: it's a tough ass. Kansas State elite defense nationally only

534
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: they're like you see, they can't shoot and they can't

535
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: score it. They go through long droughts, but they're going

536
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: to battle you, and you know they have a guy

537
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: like part of you who can go off. My problem

538
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: is I watched Kansas.

539
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: State also real quick k C K State. They'll it'll

540
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: be a huge I mean, I know Kansas is basically

541
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: it's a home game for for them, but Case State

542
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 4: will drawl massively to at the a team mobile I

543
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 4: think it's called Team Obile now, So that's I mean

544
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 4: don't know about occuputing that, but I think it does

545
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 4: matter a little bit.

546
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that. I mean, they're gonna be

547
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: like maybe three and a half point dogs the Texas.

548
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: They lost their only meetings at Texas, but they were

549
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: in the game the entire way. Neither team could make

550
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: a three, know, but iay State. So here's my thing.

551
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: When I look at this pricing. Iowa State, who's I mean,

552
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: are elite obviously nationally Defensively, Lipsey is just he had

553
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 2: purry in Hell yesterday. Even though Kansas State pulled out

554
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: that win had more to do with Iowa State's offense

555
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: and Kansas State's defense, to their credit. But when I'm

556
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 2: looking at these odds, Iowa State is plus two seventy

557
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: five and Baylor is plus seven fifty. I don't get

558
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: that deck outomy.

559
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just gonna say, I agree, yep, these two.

560
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: I have these two teams power rated almost similarly, and

561
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: you could argue Baylor has an easier path because I.

562
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: Am vailor rated higher.

563
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: I think Baylor is better by a nose Personally, I'll

564
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 4: go with stuff farther than you, and I think their

565
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: path is easier just given Kansas injuries.

566
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: No depth already, so we've seen them on like the

567
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: Saturday to Monday. I don't think Kansas is a shot here.

568
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: They're not worth considering. You're going to see a fatter

569
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: price with them, and it's Kansas. I doubt they play

570
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: mccallor and or they're not going to plan the whole tournament.

571
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: Yet hurt too, yep.

572
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: So like, who are you down to? You're gonna be relying.

573
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: On Nick timberfake from three. Maybe he bangs you.

574
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna have like a lot about Marco Jackson there.

575
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 2: You don't have any depth. Like, even if they were

576
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: fully healthy with their depth issues, I wouldn't like them

577
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: in this format, having to win four games in four days.

578
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: But I think Self is gonna be like, all right,

579
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: we're not gonna do this. We're in let's make sure

580
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: mccullor and Dickinson are healthy, rest up for the dance. Yep,

581
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: they're gonna try. But when I say like Self's gonna

582
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: just chalk this up, it means he might rest. He

583
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: just might rest them. I don't think the caller is

584
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: gonna play. And you have, especially back to backs, so

585
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: I think Taylor has a much easier game. We just

586
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: saw Kansas State beat Iowa State. That would be just

587
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: another brawl. Texas can easily beat Iowa State. They have

588
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: the shot makers that you need to beat Iowa State.

589
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: So I think Texas Texas can give some of Iowa's

590
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: state of dose to their because Texas brings ball pressure too.

591
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 4: I like that Texas like kind of brings the fight

592
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 4: back to Iowa State. But to your part about Kansas,

593
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 4: you're right talking about I mean, there's a chance, but

594
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 4: color plays in the first one, but not the second one.

595
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: I think you definitely don't play it back to back.

596
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, looking at the Baylor Iowa State, you know

597
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 4: that that to those two slivers at the bottom of

598
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: the bracket, You're right, Baylor probably has a more favorable

599
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: drawled in it than it looks just because you see

600
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 4: Kansas and that kind of gives you sticker shock. But

601
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: given the situational stuff and the fact that I love

602
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: kind of goes against my Texas angle here. I love

603
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: that Iowa State and Baylor both lost on the road

604
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: to close out regular season. I think that's going to

605
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 4: be a good bounce back with the extra day off

606
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 4: till Thursday. I think you are really good Iowa State

607
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 4: and really good Baylor efforts. Right, I don't know what

608
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 4: the price will be or who they end up playing,

609
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: but I don't think you're getting duds in either of

610
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 4: those two spots on those two teams. Baylor with Linkston

611
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: Love back, I think that's huge.

612
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mikes and Love just came back enormous, So gives

613
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: them more depth, more scoring, punch off the bench. He's

614
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: one of the best six men in all college basketball.

615
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: And they don't have much depth either, right, I think

616
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: they're not like Kansas thin, but but I think everyone,

617
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 4: every one of their key cogs.

618
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: That plays is a pretty pretty pretty big deal.

619
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And they mean it's a team that lost.

620
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: They they finished. Baylor finished eleven and seven in conference,

621
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: got the three seed. They lost at Kansas by three,

622
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: they lost at Texas by two, and then they lost

623
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: three league overtime games TCU and triple overtime, Kansas State

624
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: in overtime, and then Houston in overtime. They were right there.

625
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: And this is a team, very young, with as much

626
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: talent as anyone. That's kind of like peaking at the

627
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: right time. So yeah, I think, like so, Baylor Iowa

628
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: State regardless, it'll be around a pick in the semis,

629
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: and I think Baylor is an easier path. So plus

630
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: seven fifty sign me up for Baylor.

631
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: I like Bail.

632
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm with you on so I think that. Yeah,

633
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: so Baylor, Texas.

634
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: The other seeds down there are Sincy in West Virginia.

635
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, just since he give you any scare, I've been

636
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: kind of a Sincy guy all year, but I sold

637
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: most of my shares on a month to guy. I

638
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: just think they've there. They don't have any rhythm offensively,

639
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: and they're not as dominant. Their rim dominance doesn't play

640
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 4: up in this conference. It's just it's a bad league

641
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: to come to the table with that type of approach.

642
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, in West Virginia. I mean, I don't you could. No,

643
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: that's not even entertained that one. I like Baylor. You've

644
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: kind of connenced me on Baylor.

645
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: I just think they're right the path and the relative

646
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: pricing compared to Iowa State, which give in my Texas affinity.

647
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: I think you can. Yeah, I think we've made a pretty.

648
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: Solid case that Baylor has the easier draw to get

649
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: to the time. I mean, just funny, like Baylor versus Houston.

650
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: Like Houston is a favorite to win this and Baylor

651
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: is close to ten to one. Like I don't feel

652
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 4: like that. That's another diconomy. It doesn't make any sense

653
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: to me now that you really break it down.

654
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and on the surface, I mean Baylor's goo and look,

655
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: Bear's defense is improving since they've just gone they've gone

656
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: to like half zone. They've gone a lot of No.

657
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: One one three, one three one that Drew is brought back,

658
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: which works in a works well in attorney setting. It's

659
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: not like they've been using it all year, so they're

660
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: gonna get killed on the offensive glass by Houston. But

661
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: overall their defense is better. Their defense was so bad

662
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 2: early in the season. The zone has kind of helped

663
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: them a bit. And yeah, you get loved back. While

664
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: these other teams are dealing with injuries, you're getting someone back.

665
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: And you know, we saw Baylor. What do you need

666
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: to do to eat Houston? You have to for first

667
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: of all, you can't turn the ball over, but you

668
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: have to be able. There's a couple of things you

669
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: have to do to beat Houston. One, you have to

670
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: crash the offensive glass. Very aggressive defense. Baylor top twenty

671
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: five team offensive rebounding rate, and you have to have shots,

672
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: so you got to swing the ball and you have

673
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: to have shot makers against that defense. Baylor has those

674
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: in spades. So I mean as a team that shot

675
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: over forty pc from three on the season, So yeah,

676
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: Baylor is like certainly a team. They played Houston at home,

677
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: they were down what twenty and then came all the

678
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 2: way back exactly yep, so yeah, they could definitely beat Houston.

679
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: And Houston with like all of that, they're like so

680
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: beat up. It would be their third game in three

681
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: days and there might just be something. It's all SubCom

682
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: so they're gonna try to win. But like Houston is

683
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: like like get me to the get me to the tournament, like.

684
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: Their first year in the Big twelve.

685
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: I means Samson's talked about this right, like even on

686
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: his weekly press conferences, he talks about how like getting

687
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: a split on these back to back road trips is

688
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: like a victory. Like it's even he I think, really

689
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: is embodying the we're in this league to help it

690
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: sharpen us for the actual tournament. We're going to take

691
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: some bumps along the way. That's fine. Like the the

692
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: the the tolerance for air is much higher than it

693
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: used to be when the AC So I don't know

694
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 4: that's kind of a big picture, you know, hid this

695
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: guy thing, but I think that kind of applies here

696
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 4: in a game where you're you're not it's not life

697
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: or death. It doesn't feel like life or death. I

698
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: think they're locked in the one seed and what do

699
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: they really have to play for? And you get healthy,

700
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: like the injuries have torn their seasons last few years,

701
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: Like that is the number one.

702
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: Days rest? Yeahs like Francis is.

703
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: Playing with one Roberts. Yeah, he's playing with one hand

704
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: right now. You know, Francis had bumps and bruises. Their guards,

705
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: you know, play so much, I mean shed and cryer

706
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: though that they they play. I mean they play eighty

707
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of every game. So I want them

708
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: to just get rest with their you know, their their depth,

709
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: which is dwindling. So we'll see. But all right, so

710
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: we agree on Baylor Powerball ticket on UCF. Texas with

711
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 2: their talent definitely intriguing as well. Agree on all fronts.

712
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking about Texas if I I'm gonna look

713
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 4: at Texas and Baylor a little closer. I think I'll

714
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: probably pull the trigger on one of those two. I

715
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: don't need both.

716
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: I think you don't need three tickets in one kill you.

717
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm rolling with Baylor and then throw just

718
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: a few pass on UCF for fun.

719
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: Come on, Johnny Dawkins, Well yeah, I mean.

720
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: You see what's gonna brawl you. Uh, they can just

721
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: hit some shots, and yeah, I don't hate their paths

722
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: a long shot. Before we move on, I think we

723
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: both agreed. Houston's a legit national title contender. So is Arizona.

724
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: But do you believe in Arizona? So the one thing

725
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: that you know kind of scare me about Arizona, Like

726
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: they obviously have a ton of talent, they're very well coached.

727
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: But look, I have to give him. I have to

728
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: give Caleb a love ton of credit. He's been incredible

729
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: this year. But like watching him last night, like he.

730
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, last night, he's because his bad is as bad

731
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: as he gets. I mean he was one for ten,

732
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: five turnovers and then the defense right and the whole

733
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 4: it's just like he's a it's like the osmosis of

734
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: his stink. His stench when it's not going well can

735
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: be Yeah, one and done situation. Now, I think that's

736
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 4: always been my help my hangout with them. I also

737
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: worry about Lloyd's adaptability to very extreme style. You know.

738
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 4: I think the PACTV you see a lot of defensive

739
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 4: said that does help them, but it did not. They

740
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: weren't ready for Princeton's We're Gonna Slam on the Brakes

741
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 4: Mitch Henderson brilliance last year. I think they learned their

742
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 4: lesson from that. I think Caleb Love actually can help

743
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: it a game like that where you can to soft

744
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 4: from the defense to make some shots from deep, but

745
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 4: he also can kill you too. So I think they're

746
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: a good national title future. I just think they can

747
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 4: easily bounce South to round to thirty two.

748
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a team that can keep them out of transition.

749
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: Like they're really good in the half court too, but

750
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: obviously they want to run. They're in like ninety percent dile.

751
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: They want to get out and they're deadly in transition. March,

752
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 2: you're gonna get more half court games, and yeah, they

753
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: scam it back and look away from home. They had

754
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: not been great. They're seven and five on the road.

755
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 2: They lost to They just lost the USC. They lost

756
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 2: the Stafford. They lost to Oregon State Washington State.

757
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, so just to put a bill on your point there,

758
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 4: they I'm looking at em and Maya's relative ratings. He

759
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 4: does ratings by pace adjustment, so like, how well do

760
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 4: you perform relatively in games that are faster or slower?

761
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 4: And their top ten in pace adjustment to the fast.

762
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: So basically they are elite, elite and up tempo games

763
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 4: right when they play their style, they are much more

764
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: mortal when the game slows down like that is not

765
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: just like an anecdotal ite. That's an actual databased relative

766
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 4: ratings split from my stuff.

767
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, that kind of backs up there.

768
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Their transition D also raised out better than their

769
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: half court D as well, so.

770
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 3: Which which I buy them down and just scrambling.

771
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,600

790
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 2: to the ACC. This will be played. It feels weird.

791
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: Why look for this to be played.

792
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: In DC DC Yeah, I don't get it either.

793
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: It should be in Greensboro. ACC fourteen Team bracket kicks

794
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: off some.

795
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: Mess day holding mass and brackets and mess.

796
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: YEP kicks off Tuesday, goes till Saturday. Top four seeds

797
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: get a double bitt of the quarters on Thursday. Seeds

798
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: five through nine get a bye to the second round

799
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Playing first round games Notre Name Georgia Tech,

800
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 2: two teams that are playing better of late. It should

801
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: be an interesting game. NC State Louisville and BC Miami

802
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: goes from the final four to the fourteen seed in

803
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: the ACC tournament. Looking at the odds here, UNC and

804
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: Duke around plus one fifty to win this thing. I

805
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: have him fair around like two to one, so don't

806
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: see any value there. Clemson eight plus eight fifty, Wake

807
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: plus nine hundred, Pit twelve to one, Virginia nineteen to one,

808
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 2: Vo Tech thirty to one, Miami hundred and fifty to one.

809
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: Any let's see if there's any injury situations here. I

810
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with Monsanto and Wake. He

811
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: was supposed to he was injured, then he was supposed

812
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: to Partaken Senior that he didn't show up. He's I

813
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: think he matters to them, like he just gives them

814
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: extra shooting. I also can't trust Wake away from home,

815
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 2: but Wake's path would be winner of Notre Name Georgia Tech.

816
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech might have already ruined their season and then

817
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: they would play HIT. If they get through that, then

818
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: UNC Lynn kidd hamstring injury. That's important for vo Tech.

819
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: He didn't play. Not sure what his status is, but

820
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: he matters to them. Yep, I agree if he was.

821
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 2: You know, if he was healthy, I might consider Botech

822
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: just with their guard play U n C. You know

823
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna get a UNC team off of the big

824
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: Duke win in the quarters. So I might look to

825
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: bet Botech there if Kid is healthy. But I don't

826
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: know if I can get to a future. But you know,

827
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: thirty to one is at least something i'd consider because

828
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get North Carolina in a good spot.

829
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: And I still think team teams are a little bit

830
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: still do to make some threes against North Carolina. Pitt

831
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: they've been playing better of late. Could they take advantage

832
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: maybe in North Carolina getting upset or beating North Carolina,

833
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: I you know, they might be playing. They might have

834
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: to win this. I think to get in or at

835
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: least get to the ACC Championship to be considered for

836
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament. In the bottom half, Duke will get

837
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, either Syracuse, NC State or Louisville. Don't think

838
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 2: they a lot of any trouble with any of those teams.

839
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: And then you know in the semis, either Virginia or

840
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: Clemson Clemson I want, I want no part of Virginia.

841
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 2: We just saw Virginia get destroyed by Duke. Their offense stinks.

842
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 2: Clemson's definitely intriguing. I think Clemson would beat Virginia. They

843
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: all they should have won or you know, lost by

844
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: at the buzzer at Cameron against Duke, and you know

845
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 2: they split with North Carolina. I lost one at UNC,

846
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: which they never do, and then you know they lost

847
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: at home. They shot I think one of nineteen from three.

848
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 2: So I think that Clemson is the third best team

849
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 2: in even though they're the sixth seed. Yep, I agree

850
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: with that one, you know, especially if you know it's

851
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: not home Wake Forest. So I think Clemson is definitely

852
00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: worth a look. The only lottery ticket I can get behind.

853
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: And this is again, this is just a power ball,

854
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: like two hundred to one Miami.

855
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

856
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't know Nigel Pack, I don't know what his

857
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 2: status is, but they've been hurt all year. Obviously have

858
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: a ton of talent, you know, with Poplar Pack, George.

859
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: This is a team that made a Final Four run.

860
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: They are well coach, I think they just quit. They Yeah,

861
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: the team went to the Final Four and then they

862
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: just were like, all right, we're not going anywhere. And

863
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: they were an absolute train wreck to close out the season,

864
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: which is why they ended up here. They also dealt

865
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 2: with a ton of injuries and they've been bad without

866
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: Pack the past two years. Even though he doesn't play

867
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: much defense, he's huge offensively. But they lost nine straight

868
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 2: to close the year, including a sweep. They got swept

869
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: by BC, who they will start with so they could

870
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: go win bring out again. But this is a team that, like,

871
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: you know their path on paper. This is their path

872
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: on paper, see Clemson in Virginia to get to the semis.

873
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 4: I mean it's not right, it's no exactly. I have

874
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 4: this written down too. It's like their path is seducing me,

875
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 4: and so it can into like, oh, this could easily

876
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: be like a last year rerun. It's like, yeah, pathwise situationally,

877
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 4: but I actually.

878
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: Don't want to a bench, which is where are Yeah,

879
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: they've been dealing with injuries, but a powerball ticket sure,

880
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: and then that they win those three they get to

881
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: the Semis against Duke. You know they're going to get

882
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: like their mojo back with all that talent. It's worth

883
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: a couple of dollars.

884
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 3: I agree.

885
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: I think it's it's couch changed consideration. I actually gave

886
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 4: Florida State similar consideration for the same angle like team.

887
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 4: So we actually heard some of the nil stuff at

888
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 4: Florida State this year, like kids were like a couple

889
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: of kids like set out practice something like that. Like

890
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: I think Florida State, like Miami big nil deals, a

891
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 4: lot of talent underachieved, could easily see a flip switch here.

892
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 4: And Florida State least has to win one LASS game.

893
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 4: But problem is that their matchups are, you know, Virginia

894
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: Tech and UNC. I know UNC is in a tough spot,

895
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 4: but I actually like the Miami Path better than Florida

896
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 4: State even I have just won one more game.

897
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: But those are the two. I mean, the other one

898
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: just worth worth mentioning.

899
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 4: I think Michael Shrewsbury is eight and zer against the

900
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 4: Spreading Conference tournaments.

901
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: I know that doesn't mean much, but the Irish.

902
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 4: Certainly played better down the stretch they've been wake, They've

903
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 4: beaten Tech. I think they can out coach Pitt in

904
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 4: that next game. That's the other one I sort of

905
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 4: looked at.

906
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Florida State, they you know, they split

907
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 2: with a vow tech. They're gonna start with aout tech.

908
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: The case for Florida State, which I could see, is

909
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 2: that you could get vo tech without kid right.

910
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 4: And they played UNC close bow times. They had un

911
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: C buried at their place. UNC turned on the press

912
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 4: and like Florida State had no idea what to do.

913
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 4: And then Florida State I think was tied with like

914
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 4: a minute ago, and Orka scored the final eight or

915
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 4: something like. Both those final scores are buried deceiving. So

916
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 4: I kind of like the Floridata UNC set up there

917
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 4: in the quarters.

918
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're gonna get you N seen a good spot.

919
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: Like it's just like, hey, we you know, they might

920
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: just be a little high and fat and happy after

921
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: that Duke win. So yeah, there's definitely some I don't

922
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: think there's any value in Duke or unce it like

923
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: plus one fifty.

924
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: Like I mean, just yep, I agree, just wait.

925
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: Until the championship and then play.

926
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 4: It's also worth noting here it's funny that both Wake

927
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 4: and Clemson have shorter odds than Pitt in Virginia, who

928
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 4: have to win one less game, So like it kind

929
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 4: of just shows you what the market opinion is of

930
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: both Virginia and and I think I would agree on

931
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 4: Virginia Pit. I'm actual a little more a believer in

932
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 4: but still I think the odds are actually right to

933
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 4: price those Inversely, I guess.

934
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree Pit the one they could win this,

935
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 2: but they just need good hints and to show up

936
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: and go nuclear for a couple of games.

937
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 3: I did go back. I looked.

938
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 4: I think it's been over a decade and I've pressed

939
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: them the other big tournaments too that a non top

940
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: four seed has won. So just part of me is like,

941
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 4: out of principle, like maybe it's worth doing a two

942
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 4: team portfolio of Pitt in Virginia with the really nice

943
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 4: odds that you're getting for teams that are in a variable,

944
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 4: in a favorable spot in the bracket, they only have

945
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 4: to win three games. It's still Tony Bennett like, maybe

946
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 4: there's a a shot making light bulb, but I still

947
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: think they're toasts.

948
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

949
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 4: I went back and forth on those two as well,

950
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 4: but one hundred and fifty.

951
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 3: To one Miami worth some change.

952
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 4: I think it's worth some change. I didn't see much

953
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 4: else here though, I really didn't.

954
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: I agree, I.

955
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: Didn't see much.

956
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 4: I mean Syracuse is like, maybe there's some Jim Bayheim

957
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 4: tournament magic, but again, it's a conference tournament. The teams

958
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 4: know each other, and it's a it's red autry, and

959
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 4: they're not playing as much zone right.

960
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: They're playing I think more recently, and their drawl is

961
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: is tough.

962
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: Right.

963
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 4: I think Duke's the last of the four top seeds

964
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 4: you want to see for sure coming out of that

965
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 4: second shoot. So I crossed them off my list as well.

966
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 4: Sixty five to one Syracuse.

967
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't get there at that price specifically, and Syracuse,

968
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: like they also would have to win four games in

969
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: four days. They have no bench, yeah, and they have

970
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: no bigs anymore.

971
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 4: I mean they can that they can plump the zone.

972
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 4: The zones the ultimate remedy to know bench. Maybe Audrey

973
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 4: digs into the Jim beehinbag and tricks.

974
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: For a that would be interesting logical ride. Yeah they are.

975
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: I mean they're they've played zone twenty percent.

976
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: Okay, where do you look? I'm trying to isolate. I

977
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: was I need to have like a zone versus man

978
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 4: by game. I was trying to get those splits broken outs.

979
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: I know they were playing more in certain.

980
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: They're playing zone twenty On season, they played zone twenty

981
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: percent of the time.

982
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: Okay, that's hi, but not what it usually is.

983
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean against Louisville they played thirty five

984
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: zone play sessions twenty one man. Against Votech it was

985
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: sixty three man, no zone.

986
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

987
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: Against North Carolina they played fifty eight sessions of zone

988
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: five man.

989
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 4: And won that game. Correct, That was so that was good?

990
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah right, that was the February thirteenth. Yea, Okay, maybe

991
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 4: that's a I think Audrey should look at what his

992
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 4: former boss did so well in these tournament formats for

993
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 4: and try and dip back. And I think that would

994
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 4: just be a wise decision, you know, why not while

995
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 4: your talent on offense, see where it takes you, and

996
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 4: then try and be smoking mearsy on defense.

997
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: I State is going to beat Louisville.

998
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 4: Yes, but yeah, man, NC State, that's another team that's

999
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 4: like he can get seduced by the talent. But they've

1000
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 4: proven nothing to me in any big spots this year,

1001
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 4: like nothing.

1002
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: They haven't really seen zone, but they've been good against it.

1003
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: Although Syracuse. I think Syracuse beat NC State twice. They

1004
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: swept n C State during the regular season. Sah, they

1005
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: couldn't stop them. I mean they're just they put up

1006
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 2: eighty seven to use and morale is Keat's done.

1007
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: I had more hope, Yeah, I think so, if not

1008
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 3: this year next I think I've heard conflicting reports on that.

1009
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that Syracuse is just so reliant on like Mints. Yeah,

1010
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 2: and you know it helps when.

1011
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: Like Chris Bell's had some big games. Yeah he's been nice,

1012
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 4: and Starling can go off to but but you're right,

1013
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: you're in need. You know, Mits needs to be the superhero,

1014
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 4: but you're gonna need like Bell and throwing to bring

1015
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 4: the to bring it as well.

1016
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: You can't have off nights from.

1017
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Starling and Mints. They rely on them. They play

1018
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: so much like and then you got to win four

1019
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: games in four days, like that's for you know, a

1020
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: team in Syracuse, that's I mean, it would be interesting

1021
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 2: if they start playing more zone, but you know it's

1022
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: a jump shooting team, so that's a tough ask for

1023
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: four games. In four days.

1024
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you like it as a as a dog, as

1025
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 4: a flyer, but still it's not it's not one that

1026
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 4: you trust even in the opening round.

1027
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this before we get out of here. Uh, Duke,

1028
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: So they were, you know, everyone was kind of starting

1029
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: to hype them up. And you know, if you looked

1030
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: at like a lot of their adjusted efficiency metrics since

1031
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 2: that Carolina loss, they were like playing as like a

1032
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: top ten team. But if you look after that camp

1033
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: first loss, here's where they played, Notre Dame at home,

1034
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: BC at home, Wake at home, Florida State, Miami, the

1035
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: corpse of Miami, Louisville at home, that Virginia disgusting team

1036
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: at home YEP and State and they lost that week.

1037
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 4: You can't learn anything about UNC and Duke during conference play,

1038
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 4: That's my opinion. Like I think people overreact in both

1039
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 4: directions to whatever you thought of Duke going into the

1040
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 4: conference play a little different for Duke though, because they

1041
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 4: had some younger freshmen, so like they had a right

1042
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 4: to improve and improve quickly or like UNC, like whatever

1043
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: you thought of UNC going into conference play, I think

1044
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 4: you have to have that opinion coming out of conference play.

1045
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 4: Don't let the water down League sort of inflate your

1046
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 4: opinion of Duke. Now, I thought Duke last year, whether

1047
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 4: they did the same thing at Real Hot Late, they

1048
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 4: looked very legit. I argue, they just got a tough

1049
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 4: matchup in Tennesseee like I think they could have easily

1050
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 4: gone to made a Final four run there. This year,

1051
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, you can see the same trajectory

1052
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 4: starting to take hold. But this team I think just

1053
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 4: lacks that physicality, punch, that that rim protect or that

1054
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 4: they're going to really be exposed by in certain matchups.

1055
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: That's what I was just gonna ask you. So he

1056
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 2: has a nice transition that you know this team. I mean,

1057
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: look loosing to Carolina in that spot when Baycott and

1058
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 2: Davis combined for eighteen points and you go up eighty four,

1059
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: and you know shined for UNC it was you know

1060
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: Cormack Curry That's what I call him now, who obviously

1061
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: just went off and of But you know Cormack, Ryan

1062
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 2: is great, Harris and Ingram great. These are like older

1063
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: veteran older, yes, and they out physical Duke is I

1064
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 2: think Duke is Saft's.

1065
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the same.

1066
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 4: Arizona came in pumped him with older, bigger, stronger guys.

1067
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 4: I think that's very a very easy and real kryptonite

1068
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 4: for Duke.

1069
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is why I don't think Duke's national title

1070
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: in like games are going to be brinded down, Like

1071
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 2: if they went up against the Houston, they would just

1072
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 2: get boldied.

1073
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,959
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I would agree.

1074
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 4: It's funny because I'm looking at those same post splits

1075
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 4: on them. In my Duke has been much better and

1076
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 4: slower paid. Like I think Shire wants the want of

1077
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 4: it down. Sometimes they want to slow it down, and

1078
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 4: I think they're transitioned. Desman, what's so like you think.

1079
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 2: For it it's it's been, it's been hit or missing.

1080
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: But here's here's what it's been great.

1081
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: Weird.

1082
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 2: But when they played teams that are really good at

1083
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 2: getting out and running, they get shredded.

1084
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 3: The Yeah, Arizona and U n C.

1085
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 4: I think those three are like, okay, well, if you

1086
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 4: want to make a title run, you're going to play

1087
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 4: a team of that caliber in transition, Like so.

1088
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 3: I sall to Arkansas, Arkansas, Yep, yep, who wants to run?

1089
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's not really there's multiple matchup bear traps

1090
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 4: for Duke.

1091
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,320

1092
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,680

1093
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 4: I'm still sitting on my stupid fifteen to one way

1094
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 4: too eager summer future ticket that just doesn't look that

1095
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 4: good right now. So I'm hoping maybe they get it,

1096
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 4: like you need a dream draw to get in.

1097
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 3: That's that's all right, that'll do it for us.

00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,839

1101
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: some other value picks. I think Baylor is definitely worth

1102
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: a look in the Big twelve as far as a

1103
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 2: more reasonable future plus seven fifty. Any final thoughts from.
