Speaker 6: than welcome to do so. But we'll also hit some

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 6: games on Tuesday. Little better card. Overall, we'll recap the weekend,

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 6: get some rants in, and we'll also talk a little

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 6: buy sell in the sec But let me eat. I

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 6: guess let's start with just something you took away, one

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 6: or two things from the weekend.

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: Greg, hope you enjoyed the weekend and what do you got?

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah? First off, I did enjoy the weekend.

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: I appreciate you asking that I was in Detroit for

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: my Lions victory last night, and I'm honestly afraid for

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: my opposition these days. It's just turning up me for

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: the first time in a very long time in the

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: last seven days, which I'm hoping translates to the college

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: basketball bets this week. One thing I learned this weekend,

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: I don't trust Arizona. They're like every analytics site's top

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: two favorite team in the country. Still right now, I

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: have some serious concerns about how this team performs on

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: the road, and I think this is becoming a thing

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: in the Tommy Lloyd era. Going back to last year.

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Last season, great basketball team, they were three four on

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: the road outright against top one hundred opponents. This year

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: that Duke win was carrying a lot of weight early.

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: But now they're one and two outright against top one

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: hundred ops. They're just four and four outright in their

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: last eight games. And if you watch this team, they

44
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: don't really have much of a backup plan.

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 5: If they can't just hang.

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: One hundred on you, it's very difficult to do that

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: in conference play, in true road situations. I thought Washington

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: State did not even really play particularly well, and they

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: just controlled that game by dictating tempo. Arizona was extremely

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: frustrated Kyle and Boswell. Zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: from a star point guard. That can't happen. So while

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: Ken Palm and everybody tells me this is the second

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: best team in the country, I'm fading Arizona on the

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: road for the foreseeable future.

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 5: Anytime we can catch a good number of points.

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my question, I sort of agree with you.

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 6: I mean, look, they're gonna be powerrated the top five team,

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 6: but I have similar questions. But my and then my

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 6: main concern is as we get closer to March, how

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 6: much are we really going to learn? Because the PAC

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 6: twelve is so down. I mean, I remember I was

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 6: tweeting about this over the weekend twenty sixteen, seventeen, eighteen eight.

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 6: You would get eight PAC twelve teams in the tournament,

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 6: five or six top five seeds. And now we're I

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 6: mean fast forward five seasons. We're talking three is what

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 6: you're last year. Three probably this year if Colorado.

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: Doesn't pick it up. So how much are we gonna learn?

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 6: I mean, UCLA is, so I don't know how much

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: we're actually gonna know, and we're gonna have to make

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 6: some like you you're gonna say, look, I'm still selling

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 6: Arizona not a buyer, because I don't think we're gonna

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 6: have a ton of great data points because of what

73
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 6: the PAC twelve looks like.

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: One hundred percent?

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: You're right.

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: I think it's one of those teams I think you're

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: gonna have to pick your spots with because when they win,

79
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: they're going to win big. They're very good at home,

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: like it's not going to be a surprise to see

81
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: them beat any team in this conference, like one hundred

82
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: to fifty seven, when they're.

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: Gonna have some crazy blogs that keep their analytical probile

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 6: so high all year.

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, I just to me, it feels like

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: there's enough data going back, including last season, which I

87
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: get it, it's a totally different team. A couple of these

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: guys were on the team. They'll Ballow and Larsen especially

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: key pieces. But I just think the way they play

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: opens them up to some dangerous, dangerous spots on the road,

91
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: and that's something I'm circling.

92
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: Yep and staying out West. We talked about this before.

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 6: I've just mentioned I mean Santa Clara finally beating Gonzaga.

94
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: Kazaga is not it's they are not scary.

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: Uh So, some of the West Coast teams that were

96
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 6: used to seeing are way down this year.

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Calvary's how was your weekend? It was good.

98
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed, you know, some college basketball games. The

99
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: NFL games. I have to bristle a little bit because

100
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: NFL fans love to poke shots at you know, college

101
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: football where it's like this bowl game is awful, everybody

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: opts out. There was some awful football being thrown around

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: in some of the blowouts, but it just in general,

104
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: I think that this is the time of year really

105
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: where people start to open up a little bit of

106
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: extra time for college basketball. So we're, you know, one

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 4: by one, we're bringing people in as we move, you know,

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: closer to February. And for that reason, I think it's

109
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 4: okay that we're at this confusion point in the season

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: because everything that you're saying, I think also extends beyond

111
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: that to really the rest of the top ten. It's

112
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: like there's so many teams that you can't say are

113
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: reliably great at this point. Really there's Yukon and Purdue,

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: particularly when Yukon gets cleaning back, and then everybody else

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: more or less like North Carolina, I think you can

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: make a compelling argument should be the third best team

117
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: in the country.

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 7: I don't feel great saying that.

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 4: I think there's lots of debates that you can have

120
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: back and forth, but I'll save that a little bit

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: for the rant. The one part that I want to

122
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: get into in terms of just overall confusion for me

123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: is the Big Twelve. I think we can all agree

124
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: that the Big Twelve has the potential to be the

125
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: best conference top to bottom. But you have Texas losing

126
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 4: on the road to West Virginia. They turn them over

127
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: twenty two times. They finally get that breakout game from

128
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: ASMIS and they hold battle to blow fifteen points and

129
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 4: they lose. That's really troubling. Houston now losing back to

130
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: back games. I know it was close against TCU, but

131
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: I think that starts to bring into, you know, a

132
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: question in terms of their potential and the reliability on

133
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: the offensive end, and the last piece of it of

134
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 4: it is because everyone else is losing in the Big

135
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 4: Twelve now, we have to just artificially inflate Kansas.

136
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 7: I'm still not ready.

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: To do it.

138
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: I know the Oklahoma will win was impressive. They know

139
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: in terms of game control, they were always in control

140
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: of that game. But it's still the same narrative on them.

141
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 7: Going into the game.

142
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: Mccullor and Dickinson accounted for forty nine percent of the

143
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: Jayhawks scoring and forty six percent of their shots from

144
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: the field, and then they score forty five.

145
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 7: Of seventy eight points on Saturday.

146
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: So I still think this is the exact same team

147
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: in terms of my perception of them that I came in,

148
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: despite them getting a quality win.

149
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I agree.

150
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 6: I late last week I tweeted, if you have to

151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: take three teams for your life to win the national title,

152
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 6: who were you taking?

153
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of.

154
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 6: You could you could throw Kentucky some teams for the

155
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 6: upside if you want to have like an upside team,

156
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 6: and then I think Purdue Yukon, you would take a

157
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 6: lot of Kansas, which I was floored by. So I

158
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: think that they're over just by their just you know,

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: there the perception of who Kansas usually is in full self.

160
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: But where's the secondary scoring. There's no depth. I mean,

161
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 6: there's one injury. They are white. So I think if

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: Kansas has played like a you know, they've had a

163
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 6: lot of close wins that have just really got that,

164
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 6: they could have a couple more losses and people will

165
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: be like, oh wait, let me look deeper into this

166
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 6: Kansas team.

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I see this candas team at the top

168
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty team.

169
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 6: But they're not a team I would even remotely consider

170
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 6: for one of the three teams that I think can

171
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 6: win the title.

172
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: Greg, would you agree with that?

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

174
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: They got four players, and that's if those four players

175
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: show up that night, right, like any even night, they

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: have two players, And look, don't even me wrong the

177
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: top and how.

178
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: Gess they're gonna be by March, Like what they're gonna

179
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: fatigue too?

180
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: Right, It's like the ask of Hunter Dickinson and Kevin

181
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: mccullor is just so large on this team. And I've

182
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: been really disappointed in Dwan Harris because he's a guy

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: preseason I thought could take a huge step forward as

184
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: a scorer.

185
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: Clearly that's not the case.

186
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: He's just not wired that way, and this team really

187
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: needs it from him, Like no disrespect to the guys

188
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: that step in in that fit spot. But Johnny Furfey

189
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: and Almarco Jackson are not guys that I think would

190
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: even crack the rotation on a team like Kentucky when

191
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: you what you mentioned for upside right, and look, it's

192
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: a different situation. And honestly, Dickinson and mccullor have been

193
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: that good that they've sort of survived to this point

194
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: despite these issues. But I think you guys are right,

195
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: it's going to come crashing down at some point. And

196
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: I think you know their schedule is still there on

197
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: the road three in the next four, but two of

198
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: those are against Oklahoma State West Virginia. You would think

199
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: they're going to be favorites by a sizeable amount in

200
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: those games. We might not see this crash until we

201
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: get to February, late February where the fatigue really doesn't it.

202
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

203
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I also say two of my main takeaways from

204
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 6: the we can involve the same game Kentucky lost. And

205
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 6: by the way, I'll get my rent out.

206
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: Of the way.

207
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: Remember this is a safe space.

208
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: You know what pisses me off most of all.

209
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: Okay, you're ranting now, baby, I'm ran Why not you

210
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: gotta let it out somehow.

211
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 6: That call at the end of the game, I had

212
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 6: text A and M. Luckily it wanted over time. You

213
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 6: can't make that. You cannot blow that whistle. Maybe if

214
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 6: it's in rough like you cannot make that call. Anyway,

215
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: I thought that's an absolute must win. It's not a

216
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 6: must win, but just the spot of all spots for

217
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 6: text AM at home. And you know, that's that's what

218
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 6: Wade Taylor could do. That he could get the text

219
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 6: A and drag them to the Final four with performances

220
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 6: like that.

221
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: But that's a great spot for text A and M.

222
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 6: Young Kentucky team still, I thought they've handled themselves really well.

223
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: I mean that game was if they had Elite eight

224
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: Sweet sixteen vibes. So this young Kentucky team going on

225
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 6: the road and like getting this experience and they're I'm

226
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 6: more impressed with them each and every week, and they're

227
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 6: like talking about upside. They're just gonna keep getting better

228
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 6: and you know, if they're peeking towards March, they're in

229
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 6: that three to four teams I think that you would

230
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 6: take if you wanted to, you know, with your life

231
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 6: dependent on it.

232
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Who could win the national title?

233
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: Stuck just to hop in, Where would you say this

234
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: ranks in terms of coach Cal's coaching performances purely, you know,

235
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: on the floor, putting aside the recruiting, because it seems

236
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: to me not only is he getting the most out

237
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: of them, and I agree that I think they're best

238
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: basketball maybe ahead of them, but also he's doing a

239
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: great job in terms of the rotations and figuring out

240
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: who needs to be on the court. Went like, where

241
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: do you rank this in terms of his performances in Lexington?

242
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 6: It's why up there and it's early, it's still we're talking,

243
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 6: you know, it's January, so we'll see. But they can

244
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 6: shoot too, Like, and they're actually shooting threes. I mean,

245
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 6: the last couple of years, it just was a non

246
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 6: existent part of the team. This has the potential to

247
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 6: be by far his best job given what he came

248
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 6: into the season with.

249
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, this team has national title. I would consider them.

250
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 6: If I had to take three teams right now, who

251
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 6: I would probably put them in it just because of

252
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: the upside, Like if my life depended on it, or

253
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 6: I get one hundred million dollars, if I picked the

254
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 6: right team, I might go like Purdue, you know, UKN

255
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: and then take okay, who has the upside and it

256
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 6: might be probably Kentucky right now from what I've seen,

257
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 6: would you agree, gregs.

258
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 5: A hundred percent?

259
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think upside Kentucky's at the very very top

260
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: of my list. Like I don't even think they're in

261
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: the top three. I think it's just clearly them. They

262
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: those freshmen, especially Shepherd and Dillingham, like those guys are

263
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: serial killers, man like, they're just they're wired, like pure maniacs.

264
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: And to have those guys coming off the bench is

265
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: just nonsensical. I can't remember really any team, especially even

266
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: through Calswan and done Era, where there's been two.

267
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 5: Guys like that.

268
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: Normally these guys would be like facing the team type guys,

269
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: and they have so many different ways that can beat you,

270
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: and I think it is really notable. The things that

271
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: are best at are things that don't look like Kentucky

272
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 3: teams the last few years, and Oscar sheet Wave was

273
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 3: a big part of that, and it's a.

274
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: Totally different style.

275
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: The one thing I would note that just has me

276
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: a little scared, I guess is after the game, if

277
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: you listen to cal they really got back in the

278
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: game in the final three minutes by just letting Rob

279
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: Dillingham rock right get out of the way, and this

280
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: kid's gonna hero ball us to overtime and it was

281
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: incredible to watch. After the game, Cal was very pointed

282
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: that he regrets how that went down. He said he

283
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: thought that hurt them in overtime. And look, I don't

284
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: think there's ever gonna be a way to put a

285
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: leash on a guy like Bob Dillingham, But I am

286
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: curious when we get to March, is Cal gonna try

287
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: and sort of fit these guys into boxes in ways

288
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: that he hasn't up until this point in the season.

289
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: Just something to think about. But yeah, on paper, this

290
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: team is so loaded. The upside's there, and everybody's gonna

291
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: pick them to their final four at least.

292
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

293
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, well hopefully just for me Lexington, my wife's sake,

294
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 6: they can at least get by.

295
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: Saint Peter's in the first on this year.

296
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 6: But yeah, there's still some defensive issues that they'll have

297
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 6: to clean up, I think, but they're only going to

298
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 6: get better. And that text saying empty and like I

299
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 6: talked about, great Spot, those are all upperclassmen do like

300
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 6: men and Kentucky wouldn't go away like they couldn't put

301
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 6: a kill shot in them. So yeah, I thought that

302
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 6: was a really impressive game for both teams. But I

303
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 6: guess it's a good transition into the SEC. Last week

304
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 6: I did the Big Ten. Let's talk a little who

305
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 6: are you buying? Who are you selling? It could be

306
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 6: from a value perspective, maybe you're looking to bet them

307
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 6: a conference future, national title future, or just something in general.

308
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 6: We just talked about Kentucky. But Greg, where do you

309
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 6: want to go? You can go buy, sell one or both.

310
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 6: What do you got for the SEC?

311
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll hit both of mine real quick. I'm going

312
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 3: to stay in that Kentucky Texas A and M game.

313
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to buy Texas A and M, and I'm

314
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: buying after a win. So I was scooping them up

315
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: before this for the record, but I'll keep buying where

316
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: they're at. Look, this is a team that this same

317
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: core of guys won fifteen games in this conference last

318
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: year fifteen and three, and non conference was about as

319
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: disastrous as it could have gone for this team. They

320
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 3: had serious injury issues. They were without Radford and Coleman

321
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: both for weeks at a time.

322
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 5: Now they're finally healthy.

323
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: And in the week before this Kentucky game, guys, Wade

324
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: Taylor was just horrendous. He was two for sixteen against Auburn.

325
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: The game before that, he was three for twelve from

326
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: three against LSU. And they are at their best when

327
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: he is making shots, clearly like he did in the

328
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: Kentucky game. But even in the Kentucky game, guys, he

329
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: was one for eleven from inside the arc. I don't

330
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: think wayde Taylor's playing his best ball. I'm very confident

331
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: that that is going to turn around at some point.

332
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: He is one of the most talented guards in the country.

333
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: And I just love how tough this team is. They

334
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: get after you. On the board's best offensive rebounding team

335
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: in the country, and that's me, Like, that's how they

336
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: won this game against Kentucky despite the heroics, was just

337
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: relentless twenty five offensive rebounds against a guy who's gonna

338
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: be a pro in Aaron Bradshaw. And then on yes

339
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: so too, when Bradshaw was just four foulsand six minutes

340
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: in this game. So I think they're gonna overwhelm a

341
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: lot of the teams in the middle of the pack.

342
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: In the SEC, and that's started with this win over

343
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: Kentucky and then on the cell side, for me, I

344
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: am going to sell high. Finally, I'm doing it the

345
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: right way here. Alabama is so I'm gonna sell. I'm

346
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: very afraid of the personnel on this Alabama team. And

347
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: Mark Sears has been phenomenal, maybe an All American with

348
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: the way he's played this year. It's crazy, but they're

349
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: two big transfer ads. Aaron Estrada and Grant Nelson are

350
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: very very streaky at best. Nelson, I don't even know

351
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: if we can call him streaky at this point.

352
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: He might just not be good enough for the SEC.

353
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: He's gone nine points, zero points, nine points in his

354
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: last three games to start off conference play. He was

355
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: really really shaky at times in some of their biggest

356
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: non conference games as well. If you remember that Arizona game,

357
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: he was three for fifteen from three. I think teams

358
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: will live with him stepping out in the nato ITS

359
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: offense and just trying to bomb you. He's not a

360
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: shooter like that. And Estrada, he's had crazy scoring games,

361
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: but to me, just the collective talent level is not

362
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: as high as it has been with previous Natoates offenses.

363
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: So I think they've had a little bit of a

364
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: scheduled boost to this point if you go through.

365
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: What they've done in SEC play.

366
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the win at Mississippi State was impressive, but they

367
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: opened with Vanderbilt on the road in South Carolina at home.

368
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: They've got Tennessee and Auburn in the next week and

369
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: a half. I think there's gonna be some wake up

370
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: calls for a team that was zero to five in

371
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: the non conference against top fifty opponents on Kempom.

372
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: It's dicey.

373
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: Indiana State's worked their way up into there now to

374
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: give them one good win on the resume, But I

375
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: think when they play the best teams in this conference,

376
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: they're going to lose a lot of these games.

377
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 6: Speaking of selling all, but we might get a little

378
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: bit of an inflated number against Missouri, a team that

379
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 6: I mean they lost. Missouri lost again in over time,

380
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 6: but they've had a super tough schedule.

381
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: If you look at it, they.

382
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 6: Probably should have won that South con the game a

383
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 6: little bit of a meltdown late. So in this Alabama team,

384
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 6: I don't I have no issues fading. If you're going

385
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 6: to get like overinflated double digit spread at home against

386
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 6: Missouri the spot eet circle. So I would agree with

387
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: you there and go back to text A and M

388
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 6: on a couple of things. This is a team that's

389
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 6: not so they're not they're not three point reliant, right,

390
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 6: So it's not a team that they have an off

391
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 6: shooting night in the tournament. They're going to get upset

392
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 6: because they couldn't hit a three. And you know, it

393
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 6: doesn't matter what they're what their percentage, because they're gonna

394
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 6: get forty five percent of their misses. But they're also

395
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 6: shooting twenty seven percent. If you look at Synergy, they're

396
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 6: in the first percent tile in wide open jumpers.

397
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: And let you look at last year. It's a team

398
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: that's not a good shooting team.

399
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 6: So don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that, but

400
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 6: it's a team that would should should finish around thirty

401
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 6: one thirty two percent from three, which isn't great. But

402
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: they're at twenty seventh and they're not that bad. And

403
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 6: you mentioned it, Taylor generally one of the best finishers

404
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 6: in the country too. I do think and Buzz said this,

405
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 6: he said, the single most impactful rule change in my

406
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 6: coaching career was the block charge rule, and they are

407
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 6: like a healter skelter defense. They're like hurt by this.

408
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: There's something there that they're still adjusting to. But you're right,

409
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 6: injuries early in the season. One of those teams that

410
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 6: looks like that's a win that can like all right,

411
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 6: you know if they lost that.

412
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: Game, and.

413
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: But I think them getting that win is getting healthier.

414
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: I agree. I think it's a team that I'm going

415
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: to continue to.

416
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 6: Look to buy on. Now, I will say, not all

417
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 6: spots to create people. You want to know what's a

418
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 6: great spot text and gets that win. Arkansas loses, I

419
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 6: know you cannot. I need to see a pulse from

420
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 6: Arkansas before I even look. Yeah, don't. I don't want

421
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 6: any part of them. They look jed zombie status. I

422
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 6: want no part of Arkansas. They could wake up and

423
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 6: beat jaxas A and M, but they're not getting my money. Mike,

424
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 6: that's on SEC.

425
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: I'm going to go ahead and sell on Georgia. You know,

426
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: Mike White hasn't playing really solid defense. They're top fifty

427
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: and Ken Palm and Torviick. But when you look at

428
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: the schedule, I own one against Quad one three and

429
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: three against Quad two and nine to zero against everybody else.

430
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: And I think some people would look at that six

431
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: point loss to Tennessee, a game that they covered, as

432
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: a great sign. But in my eyes, that's as good

433
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: as it's going to get for them. Offensively, they knocked

434
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 4: down fourteen triples, they turn it over less than ten times,

435
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: but they couldn't get a single stop on Dalton connect

436
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: when he had the ball down the stretch. And I

437
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: think for that reason, when you look at their record

438
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: twelve and four overall, two and one an SEC play,

439
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 4: I think you still may get some good numbers with

440
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: these matchups coming up. They travel to Columbia to play

441
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: South Carolina, Kentucky and Florida.

442
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 7: You know, with the home game with.

443
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: LSU in the mix, I think they're going to be

444
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: exposed given that slate. And I'll push back a little

445
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: bit on Alabama. This is actually a team here for

446
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: the BISEL side.

447
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: Oh you're gonna say Arkansas, and I was not gonna

448
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: let you push back. Yeah, no, I agree.

449
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 4: I think Arkansas I need to be put in time

450
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: out there on gambling probation for the foreseeable future. But Bama,

451
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: what's interesting to me you look at and you mentioned

452
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 4: it in terms of the earlier schedule, losing those games

453
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 4: to the top fifty teams. They lose four out of five.

454
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: Those were at Clemson, Purdue, Creighton, Arizona. They're competitive in

455
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: most of those games. But since then, the thing that

456
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 4: I focus in on the most and where I really

457
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: view their overall ceiling is their defense. Their defense is

458
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: playing better. I understand that the schedule got a lot

459
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: more manageable, but their top sixty and Ken Palm Mentorvik

460
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 4: and they did it against Toulouse. Smith in the Mississippi

461
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: State game, even with Pringle, I think he played six minutes.

462
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 4: He fouled out in six minutes of action, which was ridiculous,

463
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: and that put a lot of pressure on Nelson.

464
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 7: They still coax a five.

465
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: For fifteen game out of them, and that's really why

466
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: Mississippi State was drawing dead in that game. They need

467
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 4: Smith to be a dominant player on the offensive end.

468
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: I agree with the assessment on Estrata play a lot

469
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 4: at Hofstra. He could be a streaky player. I think

470
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: he can help them, you know, play above themselves in

471
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 4: some games, but he definitely needs to bring them more

472
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: on the offensive ends seers being this you know, stabilizing factor.

473
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 7: I get it.

474
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: But overall, I think right now on Bama because the

475
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: defense has figured something out where early in the year

476
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: it looks like they were going to be outside the

477
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: top one hundred defensively to do some things. I don't

478
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: know if it's full scheme, I don't know if it's

479
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: you know, personnel, whatever it is, They're at least competitive

480
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: to the point where I'm interested to see what the

481
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: number is on Saturday at Rocky Top against Tennessee because

482
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: this Miszoo game, I think is really going to swing

483
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 4: it if they cover a huge number. I think this

484
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 4: number is probably going to be closer against the volunteers

485
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: and it may be a pass. But if they don't

486
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: cover against Miszoo and I can get I don't know.

487
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: You stuck you telling me what do you think the

488
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 4: spread should be on Alabama Tennessee in Knoxville?

489
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: What is that game Saturday?

490
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 7: That's Saturday?

491
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I make it Tennessee minus three and a half.

492
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I ad my you know number in my head.

493
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 7: Five is my bet.

494
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 6: I bet it probably goes. I bet it probably opens

495
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 6: four and a half or yeah.

496
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: So if I can get in there in that range

497
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: kind of on the cusp of you know, certainly above

498
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: one possession. I'm interested in Alabama. I think that's that's

499
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: gonna be the game for me for the rest of

500
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: the year. That's gonna tell me what I need to

501
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 4: know about this team. Is it smoking mirrors with their

502
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: improved defensive play or is it for real? And you know,

503
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 4: to what El's point, is there anything going on with

504
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: their front court that they can get any consistent scoring?

505
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 7: Because if they can't, I just don't see.

506
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: Sears being able to play hero bawl and to carry

507
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 4: them despite how well he's playing.

508
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 7: So that's why I'm buying on Obama. A bit of

509
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 7: a disagree here.

510
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 6: I'm I'd be like four point two for what it's worth. Now,

511
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 6: got going back to Arkansas?

512
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: Just is there?

513
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 6: I don't like, is there any hope? So there's gonna

514
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 6: be some Arkansas spots, right, So it's gonna be like muscling.

515
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 6: They're gonna be at home. It's still is there any case?

516
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: Like Mitchell shouldn't be starting that. I feel like I'm

517
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: you shouldn't be starting to see Davis. I mean, I

518
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 6: don't know what's going on there. A guy who I mean,

519
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 6: you were one of the best moments just from sports,

520
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 6: Like they beat Kansas, Muscleman comes over there crying. He's

521
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 6: crying talking about all the work he put in, and

522
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 6: I mean he went for I think he dropped like

523
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 6: twenty four in the second half. And then you know

524
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 6: Muscleman saying how much of a leader he is, he's

525
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 6: late to things not starting because of it, and the

526
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 6: whole operation, Like, is there any case that you can

527
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 6: see where all right, look, it's this is the low

528
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 6: point we have to start buying Arkansas or is there

529
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 6: just no put him on the burner until you see something.

530
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: So the case would be Eric Musselman, and I would

531
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: listen to anybody making that case because go through what

532
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: must has done in his career, He's essentially always had

533
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 3: good teams. I mean he's had teams finished below five

534
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: hundred and conference play. At Arkansas, they were seven to

535
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 3: eleven his first year, they were eight and ten last year.

536
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: But overall, like he's won twenty games or more all

537
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: eight years of his careers ahead coach, So this would

538
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 3: be shocking if they just like completely spiral and finished

539
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: below five hundred on the season. With that said, if

540
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: you've watched this team at all in the last three games,

541
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: which I know both of you and I have, it's

542
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: it's a disaster, right, And I don't think it's the

543
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: roster that's the problem.

544
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: Right.

545
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: He's the biggest transfer portal guy and that's boom or bust.

546
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: We've seen it work for teams. We've also seen it

547
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 5: completely derailed seasons.

548
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: And sometimes you can survive one, maybe two problematic guys

549
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 3: right now, like Keon Minifield was added midseason, and then

550
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: he immediately led the team in minutes and shot attempts

551
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: for like three games, and then he comes out in

552
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: the Florida game plays three minutes, Like what is he

553
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: supposed to expect?

554
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: And what does everybody else expect from that?

555
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: Ellis another guy who has been in and out of

556
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: a thirty minute role and then he plays three minutes

557
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 3: in this game. Devo Davis is a disaster. And like

558
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: you said, he was the best player on the floor

559
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: in the Kansas game. And all three of those guys

560
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: have for lack of a better word, just emotional concerns.

561
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 3: Like you can survive maybe one of them having ups

562
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: and downs. You can't survive three guys that play the

563
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: same position that are all frustrated with each other needing

564
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: to compete for a spot. So I think this is

565
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: just a disastrous roster build. I don't think this is changing,

566
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: and it's kind of shocking to see because I expect

567
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: higher and just a higher floor at least.

568
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: From an Eric Musselman program.

569
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I looked like it's not even the losses, it's

570
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 6: to how they're losing and how they look and it's

571
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 6: just you know, thirty to forty point blowouts back to back.

572
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: It's like where is the pulse?

573
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 6: Like I don't see And yeah, the roster, the offense,

574
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: it's just not there from a consistency perspective.

575
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: And now quick word from our sponsor, Hello Fresh.

608
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: Let's move on to some more actionable stuff and talk

609
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 6: either tonight. If you want to mention a game tonight,

610
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 6: anything tomorrow, even if you want to throw out something

611
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 6: for Wednesday, feel free to do so. I will say

612
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 6: that I had this spot for New Mexico. Utah State

613
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 6: survived again, survived by one not the same team on

614
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 6: the road. They basically ended New Mexico's season last year.

615
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 6: But I've been saying, you know, New Mexico's close, right,

616
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 6: and they had the injury that all their guards have

617
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 6: played together. Once they figure it out, and then you

618
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 6: watched it early in the San Diego State game, it

619
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 6: was like, all right, are they're going to figure it out?

620
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: And then something clicked in that game.

621
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 6: So I'm looking to still buy New Mexico while I can,

622
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 6: And like we talked about in our Kickoff Kickoff episode,

623
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 6: I think New Mexico their a team that could be

624
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 6: an fau with their guards, and if they just keep

625
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 6: getting better and stay healthy, their a.

626
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: Team that you just you just won't want to see

627
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: come March. So I'll be.

628
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 6: Looking to see what we get a cheap price at

629
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 6: home on New Mexico against Utah State. But that was

630
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 6: what I've been waiting to see that, And I know

631
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 6: it's only one game, but there was reason to believe, Like, look,

632
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: them played together at all, pretty much their entire backcourt,

633
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 6: got a couple of games under their belt, and then

634
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 6: it looked like everything clicked. So I think New Mexico

635
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 6: could be super scary uh moving forward.

636
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: So that's a.

637
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 6: Spot and a team in general that I have circled.

638
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 6: Greg anything you want to mention on New Mexico indoor

639
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: for tonight or tomorrow.

640
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 5: I love the New Mexico play.

641
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: That was one of my two that I had circled,

642
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: and just to add a no on it, they're seven

643
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: and one against the spread at home this year.

644
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: I just love the team.

645
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: I absolutely love the team now that they are fully healthy,

646
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: and that backcourt is one of the best back courts

647
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 3: in the country. I'm very curious to see what that

648
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: opens at. Do you do you have a number on

649
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: that stock about what you expect.

650
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: I think that. So I'm with.

651
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 7: Doorviick has it in New Mexico minus five.

652
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm praying. I would loved it. If it

653
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: opens two and a half, I would get that.

654
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 6: But yeah, I would like anything under five, Uh, would

655
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 6: be amazing if like how much does the market caught on?

656
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 6: Maybe because you I'm hoping that, like, hey, Utah State,

657
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 6: they escaped by one, can we get like a cheap

658
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 6: three on the open?

659
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: Would love that.

660
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 6: But anything under five and it's the pit then that

661
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 6: you just watch them at home too. They're just a

662
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 6: different team at home Utah State. It's not the same

663
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 6: team on there, another team with an amazing home court advantage.

664
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

665
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a set the alerts. One for me for

666
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: sure to try to jump on it if it's.

667
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: Three right away. The other one I have circle for Tuesday.

668
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: I've got my eye on Indiana to cover at home

669
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: against Purdue. And this feels gross. It feels disgusting to

670
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: say that out loud if you've watched Indiana this season.

671
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: But I have a theory, guys, and I love this

672
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: Purdue team. I'm probably gonna pick them to go to

673
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: the Final four. I love betting them, I don't like

674
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: fading them. But their season script has essentially followed word

675
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: for word exactly what happens fast year up to this point.

676
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: A loss at Northwestern, struggling in Big Ten play on

677
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: the road, undefeated non conference where they look untouchable, like

678
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: they're playing all the hits thus far should be notable.

679
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: Last year Indiana swept Purdue to and oh now, Tray

680
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: Jackson Davis was one of the best players in the country.

681
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: They simply don't have that type of talent. They don't

682
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: have shooting around him like they did with Jalen Hudhafino.

683
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: It's a totally different roster with a lot more problems.

684
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: They've still been really awesome at home this year. Indiana

685
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: is six and one against the spread in their last

686
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: seven games at home. Purdue's one and four against the

687
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: spread in their last five games.

688
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: Overall, I kind of think they're hitting a little bit

689
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: of a roadblock here.

690
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: It's going to be an emotional game as always at

691
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: Assembly Hall, depending.

692
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: On the number I can get.

693
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: I'm interested in Indiana and now if it opens at

694
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: like seven or something, I'm jumping off of that.

695
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: But Ken Palm's got this as an eleven point Perdue favorite.

696
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: If I could possibly get ten, I feel really really

697
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: great about that.

698
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 6: I'll have to see where the number lands, yeah, they

699
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 6: and where the home court can because obviously it's going

700
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 6: to be electric there. I mean Assembly all for a

701
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 6: big game always, but especially Indiana Purdue and this Purdue.

702
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: Team, and Eadie is so difficult to officiate.

703
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 6: Mainly he gets found way more than they actually call

704
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 6: and then they, you know, the rest want to even

705
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 6: it out, especially on the road, right, So then you're like,

706
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: game's become a little more for outfest. But with with

707
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 6: all the uncertainty and how you are calling fouls on

708
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 6: Edie in Assembly Hall with the crowd, it's going to

709
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 6: be like f you if things are like eighties not

710
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: getting calls like Indiana, you could see Edie getting like,

711
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: you know, a second cheap foul with you know, fourteen

712
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 6: minutes ago in the first half. You might just see

713
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 6: way more fouls on Purdue on the other end. So

714
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 6: that's where the home court advantge can comitted, because there's

715
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: just a lot of variants with how whatever crew that night,

716
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 6: how they decide to call it based on Eadie, who's

717
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 6: getting fouled all the time, and then there's this out

718
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 6: It's it's just human nature, right, you don't want to

719
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 6: have the other teams, you know. Edie gets fouled six

720
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 6: times in the first eight minutes, producing the double bonus.

721
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: But they only have one foul.

722
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 6: And then the coach is the coach, the crowd's yelling

723
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: and human nature grass will you know, start giving you

724
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 6: fouls the other way. A lot of airans that that's

725
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 6: where the home crowd could come into it. So yeah,

726
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: that's a spotive circle. I'm super curious to see where

727
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 6: that opens and how sharp it is. Because I agree

728
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 6: at seven, I would win a little more like I

729
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 6: love to look at double digits if we.

730
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Can get it, Mike, get anything that you want to

731
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: mention for tonight or tomorrow, so.

732
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 4: We're a clean sweep on New Mexico. I love him

733
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: minus five. You guys mentioned just about all of it.

734
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: The only thing I would add is JT Topp and

735
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 4: Nellie Junior Joseph. They are the right mix to be

736
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: able to bang with great Acidbor in this game because

737
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: he's been playing out of his mind. Yet despite a

738
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: twenty four and fourteen game, they only beat you NLV

739
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: by one. And in the two games that he's been

740
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: held a single digits this year, they beat Santa Clara

741
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 4: by two, they beat San Francisco by one. So they're

742
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: certainly mortal when he's not playing out of his mind,

743
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 4: and not many teams in the Mountain West have multiple

744
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: bodies that they can throw at him with the kind

745
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: of athleticism. Toppins coming off a seventeen sixteen game against

746
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: San Diego State, So I think New Mexico is still

747
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: ascending at this point, and I agree. You know, they

748
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 4: have four superstars. Dent didn't even play all that well

749
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 4: against San Diego State and they ran them off the floor.

750
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: So you know, help anybody if all three of them

751
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: get going at the same time. Mash Spurn in the

752
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 4: mid range and you know Dent being able to bury

753
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 4: some shots from distance.

754
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 6: Freshman, That's that's a guy that looks like he's still

755
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 6: getting better, you know. So come March, you have your

756
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 6: you have your experienced backcourt, you you know, and they

757
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 6: look like current.

758
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: Let's figure out how we share the ball, who's.

759
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 6: Going to take what distribution the shots, and then you

760
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 6: have I like some of their death pieces that they

761
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 6: added but a guy like top and keeps getting better.

762
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have the formula for uh, definitely a Cinderella run.

763
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: Uh if you want to call it that.

764
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: Back ahead, I'm going to stay in the Mindwest im

765
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: going to lay a huge number with Colorado State. I

766
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 4: think this is a get right game for Niko Medved's team.

767
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: You know, they've lost two in a row, but since

768
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 4: he's come to four Collins, he's eight and two against

769
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: the spread. When facing air Force and this particular Falcons team,

770
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 4: they're challenged on the offensive end. They mask it by

771
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: playing as slow as just about anybody in America.

772
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 7: But unlike a lot of.

773
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: Ken Palm Top twenty five offenses, Colorado State's fine playing slow.

774
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: They'll do it in the half court. They don't need

775
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 4: that transition game to be running and you know, up

776
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: and down the floor. So I don't think that's a

777
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 4: huge differentiator for the Falcons in this one.

778
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 7: And Colorado State's biggest trouble is on the glass.

779
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 4: Air Force can't rebound. They' three hundred and fifteenth in

780
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 4: offensive rebounding percentage. And you know, in terms of their

781
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 4: skill position, who they go to as their go to

782
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: score Petritus is really their only option, and I like

783
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: the matchup against Cardia. Cardier fouls out against Utah State

784
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: and Acidbor and really that that was when the game swung.

785
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: I think he's going to have a better performance here,

786
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: so I don't mind laying a huge number. Colorado State

787
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: has covered really big numbers under Medved against air Force before,

788
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 4: so I'd played all the way up to twenty.

789
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 6: Like the look, Greg, curious to get your thoughts before

790
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 6: we get out of here. On in staying in the

791
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 6: Mountain West cal out of state couple losses in a row,

792
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 6: you know, they haven't been fully healthy off season either.

793
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 6: I do still think that the defensive issues, especially in

794
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 6: the post, which might trouble them. I know against Boise

795
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 6: what Meadows hit like some crazy threes in the second half.

796
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 6: But is are we should we be worried about Colorido

797
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 6: State or they'll be fine? It's Stevens, it's Medda. Don't

798
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 6: get healthier. And then Boise State like should we be

799
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 6: taking Boise State more serious? You know, get the Colorado

800
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 6: State win following up with the road win at Nevada,

801
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 6: which then I was like, okay, well I don't have

802
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 6: to look and I didn't. I wasn't a believer in

803
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 6: this Boise State team. Point guard play very questionable. But

804
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 6: any thoughts on either Colorado State or Boise, I'll.

805
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 5: Start with Boise.

806
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: I don't have too many polarizing thoughts on cal Heraudo State,

807
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 3: to be honest with you.

808
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 5: Isaiah Stevens is awesome.

809
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: I love the spot against air Force, just they've lost

810
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 3: too straight. You expect them to be on their a game.

811
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: The history is there, the profiles there. Air Force not

812
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: good at guarding the three point line as well. I

813
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 3: like that spot for sure. I just there's something missing

814
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: when I watch Colorado State. On the Boise State side,

815
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: they have a couple guys, actually Degenhart though, who just

816
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: like any given night, it's like he's the best player

817
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 3: on the floor. And I think that really matters in

818
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 3: a conference like this where you know there's a lot

819
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 3: of good teams here, Like the depth of talent in

820
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: the Mountain West is really really high this season.

821
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 5: But if you have a.

822
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: Superstar, like I think Ladie from San Diego State is

823
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: the other guy that jumps out at me like he

824
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 3: can just win you a game. Deagenheard to me, is

825
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: one of those dudes. I think he kind of did

826
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: that against Nevada. Like to me, Black Year really got

827
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: going early and Degenhart just kind of put an end

828
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: to it, responding and slowly methodically backing his way down

829
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: into the post people playing off of him.

830
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 5: He finished with twenty nine.

831
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 3: To four, Like he's a superstar, but I like the

832
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: way the guys around him play well as well. Max Rice,

833
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: to me, is the guy that I don't think has

834
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: played near his ceiling this year. If you look at

835
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: his numbers compared to what they've been historically. At least

836
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: last year he was forty one percent from three. This

837
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: year only thirty one percent. Looks more like the year

838
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: before when he was twenty seven percent. So at this point,

839
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like, is he a good shooter?

840
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: Is he not?

841
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 3: When he hits them, it unlocks a lot of things

842
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: for this Boise State offense that sometimes can feel very

843
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 3: one dimensional depending on daggonheart. But it's hard not to

844
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: be impressed with what they've done thus far. I mean,

845
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 3: they're sitting here three and oh with the road win

846
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: over Nevada, Like all of a sudden, you're circling this

847
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: team like maybe they could win this conference.

848
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'll end on this.

849
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 6: We just talked about the PAC twelve, which you know

850
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 6: could be a three big league again.

851
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: Mountain West.

852
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 6: Pull up the mount West standings if you want to

853
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 6: look at them, if you had now, there's gonna be

854
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 6: some cannibalization, right would you have to remember?

855
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: But if you've got to.

856
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 6: Say how many Mountain West teams end up making the dance,

857
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 6: because you can make a case it could be, you know,

858
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 6: if everything goes right, you can make a case now

859
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 6: at six, right at the ceiling, I assume, I mean,

860
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 6: I guess seven if someone else would like to steal it.

861
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 6: But uh, you know, like air Force wins the conference tournament.

862
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 6: But realistically, how many? How many would you say right

863
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 6: now if you had a guess, are gating and Michael

864
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 6: throw to you first, I'm.

865
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 4: Gonna say five, And I feel really confident in that,

866
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 4: you know, with San Diego State, Utah State, New Mexico,

867
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: Colorado State as the I would say, argue the secure

868
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 4: for there and Boise. At this point, I agree with

869
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: you know, Greg's assessment when you go down their wins,

870
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: how they're playing lately, and the fact that they can

871
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 4: rely on a superstar. This is still the facto mid

872
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: major conference. If you have the best player on the floor,

873
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: that usually is enough to swing things in your favor

874
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 4: on any given night.

875
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 7: So I think they get to five. I agree.

876
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 4: Outside of that, I don't really see any Cinderell run

877
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: coming out of anyone, you know, UNLV or San Jose State,

878
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: anyone like that coming from way.

879
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 7: In the back of the pack.

880
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 4: But I feel good about five and certainly more. If

881
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 4: you gave me a market right now, who sends more

882
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: to the Dance the Pac.

883
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 7: Twelve or the Mountain West.

884
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 2: I'll take the Midwest all day. I would day, Greg,

885
00:39:58,719 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: what are you saying?

886
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: I would jump on the bark at the moment that

887
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: it was available of good. So I think, uh, I'm

888
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a little bit of a contrarian here. I

889
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: think I'll go with four for the number that ends

890
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: up getting there. That's the number they've gotten in the

891
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: tournament the last two seasons. Now where I'm gonna be

892
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: creative on this is I think it's gonna be an

893
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: unconventional four. It's not the four you would expect, right

894
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: we said, Utah State, San Diego State, New Mexico, Colorado

895
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: State feel like the obvious four I.

896
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: Think, how are we getting air force in the dance?

897
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: So not air force, but I think one we saw

898
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: it with New Mexico last year, right they were the

899
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: last team to lose a game in the country and

900
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: then they end up just kind of just plummeting through

901
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: conference play.

902
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 5: They missed the tournament.

903
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: I don't know who that's gonna be, and it's gonna

904
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 3: hurt my heart if it's Colorado State because I love

905
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: watching that team play, but they're in a dicey little

906
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 3: spot right now situation wise one and two. Nico Medven

907
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 3: has not exactly been the greatest results guy in his

908
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: conference play history, So I don't know. I think there's

909
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 3: gonna be a surprise. If I had to put my

910
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: finger on it, it would be either New Mexico or

911
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 3: Colorado State and who ends up disappointing and missing it

912
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 3: and then give me Boise State as the fourth team

913
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 3: that will find a way.

914
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 5: I just love watching Tech and her right now. I

915
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 5: think he's that good.

916
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say that the Colorado State depending what

917
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 6: Creighton does the rest of the year. They dismantled creating

918
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 6: on a neutral court, which you know, like if it's

919
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 6: if they're close that win in particular.

920
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: Could hold a lot of weight.

921
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 6: But I can't wait for the Mountain WES Conference tournament

922
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 6: and I'll say, yeah, I'm gonna go four. I'm very

923
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 6: confident will be four. I could see five. I'd probably

924
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 6: set the line at four and a half. But there's

925
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 6: gonna be some cannibalization, probably too, you might have. There's

926
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 6: gonna be some potential injuries. But you definitely could make

927
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 6: the case for six teams getting there, and I would

928
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 6: listen to all of them.

929
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: But that'll do it for us. Thanks to Greg.

930
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 6: And Mike for joining me, as always, thanks to our

931
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 6: producer David on the back end. Most importantly, thanks to

932
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 6: all of you for tuning in. We will be back

933
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 6: with the three man week on Wednesday, and then Calibre's
