1 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: What's up, guys? How are you welcome into a Wednesday 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: morning edition of the Daily Juice podcast. My name is 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Matt Parolt. You can follow me on Twitter at Sports 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: Talk Matt on Bettingpros dot com. Every morning, always being 5 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: brought to you by BETMGM. All right, so last night 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: I gave you three plays for college basketball. For tonight, 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I gave you UNLV minus eleven and a half against 8 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: Montana State at one unit, Alabama minus nineteen against Jacksonville 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: State at a half a unit, and the under one 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: thirty five and a half for San Diego State and UCLA. 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: So we've seen a little movement on these games. So 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: we've seen UNLV go up to twelve and a half. 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: Now Alabama's up to twenty and a half, so a 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: point and a half a movement on Alabama. So we 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: got better numbers there, which is always what we want 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: to see. We want better numbers when they're put out 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: and we bet them early and we get better numbers 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: than where you know, the books start to move the 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: line and the under one thirty five. A lot of people, 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: I mean I talk to a bunch of people on 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: my radio show today, and I talk to people around 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: the country about this. The numbers all the way down 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: to minus one thirty three, so we got two and 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: a half points of value on the under. So we're 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: on the right side of all these numbers as of 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: right now. Now is it the public side? Who the 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: hell knows? Right, I mean, the numbers are moving in 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: our favor. We've got better numbers going into the games 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: today for the games that we bet last night. Now, 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: I've got two plays for you on games where the 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: number could have been better if we bet it yesterday. 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk to some people before. As 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: I told you, I like to bet on college teams 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: that I have some experience with or with coaches that 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: I know are coaches that know coaches. I try to 36 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: figure out different conversations I have with people. So I 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: got two plays half a unit on each play going. 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: So in totality, we're gonna have three units going here 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: for Wednesday for the first day of college basketball. Now, 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: what's interesting couple things here. First, thank you to everybody 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: who pointed out that Matt even though you bet you 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: in LV and NOVA wrong because you bet them to 43 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: win the conference tournament, FanDuel put out odds that are 44 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: very similar to the bets I made for the conference tournament. 45 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. I can't bet this, but you can, 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give this away as a future but 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: I'm not able to bet on FanDuel. I don't have 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: any access to FANDL. So my family's in New England. 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: They can bet in New Hampshire with DraftKings, fanduels on 50 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: operating in New Hampshire. So fanduels and operating at all 51 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: in New England. They don't operate here in Nevada. But 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: if you're in a fandual state, you can get Nova 53 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: to win the Big East regular season at minus one twenty. 54 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Do it. That's a good bet. Do it. I'm gonna 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: say put point twenty five units on it just to 56 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: have something there. But you know what, whatever you want 57 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: on it. I like that bet a lot and U 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: and LB to win the Mountain West Conference. I got 59 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: it at eight hundred to win the conference tournament at DraftKings. 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: I did bet that you can get it at plus 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: seven hundred at FanDuel to win the Mountain West Conference 62 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: regular season, now not the tournament regular season. So love 63 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: both those bets. So even though officially my wagers are 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: on the conference tournament. You can, and let's add that 65 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: in as well, not just the regular season, but also 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the conference tournament. So we bet two point twenty five 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: units last night. Let's add another point twenty five units 68 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: on here. Again, I can't bet it because I don't 69 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: have FanDuel. But this is where we're at. Nobody in 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Vegas is putting this up. Nobody. It's crazy here in Vegas. 71 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: They haven't even put up the totals yet in terms 72 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: of money lines for these games. They've put up totals 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: in sorry sides and totals are up for Vegas games, 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: for the games here in Vegas, for the books. No 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: one's got money line at a time of tape here, 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: no one's got money line. No one knows what the 77 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: hell to do. There's twenty two games canceled already. How 78 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: many games get played today, I don't know. We'll probably 79 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: having another three or four canceled before the game tips 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: off today. I mean, so like it's one of these 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: days where if you have the day off, you just 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: kind of grab whatever, you know, a rack of ribs, 83 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: grab a twelve pack, a bottle of whiskey, whatever it 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: may be. And you just sit and watch basketball literally 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: all day. Starting here in Vegas at least it's nine am, 86 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: and you can go nine am to midnight tonight just 87 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: watching college basketball like crazy. So if you like college 88 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: hoops like I do, look, this is a great day. 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: It's incredible that it's here. We should all take a 90 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: second to appreciate that it's here. I talked to Seth 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Greenberg of ESBN on my radio show yesterday, and the 92 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: dude didn't want to talk about anything except how lucky 93 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: we are that we have college basketball. He didn't want 94 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: to talk about you, didn't want to talk about the teams. 95 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: I asked him, who's the best team in the country. 96 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: He literally said, I don't care. I don't care. I'm 97 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: not answering that question. All we should talk about is, 98 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: holy crap. We got here. We lost March Madness, we 99 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: didn't get the NAA Tournament, nobody got Crown Champion, we 100 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: lost all the conference tournaments due to COVID, and now here, 101 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: six seven months later, here we are, now back in November, 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: starting the college basketball season. Will we finish? Who the 103 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: hell knows? Should we be playing non conference games? Probably not, 104 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: But we're here and we're playing them, so let's bet 105 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: on them, let's have some fun watching them, and let's 106 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: hope the COVID stays away and we don't have any 107 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: more COVID problems in college basketball, which is a joke 108 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: because every single day we're getting coaches positive and players positive, 109 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: and it's just going to be an absolute bleep show 110 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks with college basketball. I 111 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: wish it was not the case, but come on, like, 112 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: we know that's going to be the case.

So he went really long yesterday. 140 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: This podcast won't be nearly as long. Actually may not 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: be fifteen minutes today. So here is play number one. 142 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: Darren Devrees was on Dana Altman's staff for ever and 143 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean ever, he was with him for I don't know, 144 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: fifteen years. So he goes by the nickname d Rock. 145 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: The Derees family, his brother played in the NFL. They 146 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: are Iowa legends. When I say the d Rock family, 147 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: the deres family is known from state line to state line. 148 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: They are known from state line to state line. This 149 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: is a basketball family. So when d Rock finally got 150 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: a head coaching job, when Drake University finally gave him 151 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: a shot, I knew he would do big things. I 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: knew he was ready, he wanted it, and he can 153 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: recruit the holy hell out of the West. He was 154 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: one of Dane Allman's lead recruiters. He also recruited a 155 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: very specific type of player to create a university for 156 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: the Missouri Valley Conference. He was great in the living 157 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: rooms with the kid that could shoot, the kid that 158 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: wasn't all the athletic, but loved the game of basketball 159 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and was a straight up gym rat, jump shot maniac. 160 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: That's what d Rock was. That's what his family was. 161 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't the best, wasn't the hardest, or wasn't the most athletic, 162 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: wasn't the most talented, but he was the hardest worker 163 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: in the gym. He just wanted it more than anybody else. 164 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: So he'd work and he'd work and he'd work. And 165 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: those are the kids he goes out and recruits. He 166 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: goes out and recruits the kids that are being overlooked 167 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: by the Big twelve, overlooked by the Big ten. They 168 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: want to play. They're not as good as they could be. 169 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: They need some coaching, but they've got talent, and maybe 170 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: it's a little bit rougher on the edges. Maybe they're 171 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: not a six foot six point guard with a big 172 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: wings span and can jump out of the gym right. Instead, 173 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: they are a six foot two point guard who can 174 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: really shoot the basketball, but very smart with the ball 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: in his hands, and he never turned to the basketball 176 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: over zer Missouri Valley Conference kids. They don't hurt themselves. 177 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: The thing about Kansas State is when you go to 178 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: k State, you're always the little brother and you're playing 179 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: in the shadows of Kansas and you always want to 180 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: beat Kansas, but you always look down on teams in 181 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: the Valley. Believe me, I was there when Northern Iowa 182 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: and Ali for Oakmanesh knocked down the three pointer to 183 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: knock out Kansas in the NCAA tournament. In fact, I 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: was literally fifteen feet from Ali for Oakmanesh when he 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: took the shot. I was also in the locker room 186 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: before the game and the day before when Kansas players 187 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: were laughing at how to say Ali for Oakmanesh. Literally, 188 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: I was in the locker room when news reporters from 189 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City who were incredibly arrogant and stupid about doing this, 190 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: but they gave a roster sheet to the players at 191 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: Kansas and said, please say the name Ali for Oakmanesh. 192 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: Can you say it? And they couldn't and they were 193 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: laughing about it. The Morris twins were laughing, had a 194 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: damn good laugh at Ali for Oakmanesh. And then the 195 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: kids stuck a dagger in their eye and knocked them 196 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: out as the number one seed in the tournaments. Okay, 197 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: that's what valley kids do. That's what valley teams do. Now. 198 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: And I'm not comparing this Drake team to that Northern 199 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: Iowa team, because that Northern Iowa team was incredible. That 200 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: was a generational team for the Panthers. However, that's the 201 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: brand of basketball that Drake University plays in Kansas. I 202 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: watched them last year play UNLV they were awful. I 203 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: mean awful. When it came to offense. They averaged less 204 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: than sixty five points per game. They were awful. Now, look, 205 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: Bruce Webber's bad anyway. Okay, Bruce Webber is one of 206 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: these dudes that thinks he's a big deal and thinks 207 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: he's one of these high brow coaches, right, and he 208 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: goes out there and recruits kids that play a very 209 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: tough style of basketball to play against. Okay, they are grinders, 210 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: they get up in your face, they play aggressive defense. 211 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: But this team really fell apart down the stretch in 212 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: the Big twelve. They looked awful. They've got some players 213 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: coming back, They've got a couple of decent dudes to talk. 214 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: But they've talked about this. Bruce Weber's talked a lot 215 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: about the practice problems they have had. I don't think 216 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: this is a very inexperienced roster with each other. They've 217 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: not played many games together, and so when you've got 218 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: issues about five on five practices and not working together, 219 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: game one out of the gate, this is a bad matchup. 220 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: This is a bad matchup for Kansas. Kansas State rather 221 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: up against Drake. The line was seven. It's now five 222 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: and a half. There's no money line out. I would 223 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: bet Drake money line if you find it. I like 224 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Drake to win this game outright today against Kansas State. 225 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: It will be a five and a half point line. 226 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: I'll take the points. I'll lay the minus one ten. 227 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: My guess is you're gonna get plus one twenty or 228 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: somewhere in that range here. I just think this is 229 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: a game where if you look at Drake and you 230 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: look at Kansas State, I don't like this. Twenty and 231 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: fourteen last year. Yeah, the top three players for Drake 232 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: are gone, but they've got some talent coming back. And 233 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: I loved their coaching staff. Okay, they've just got this 234 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: toughness about them. They've just got this snarly, nasty, get 235 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: in your face type of defense. And d Rock is 236 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: the reason. I mean, this is just the type of 237 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: coach that he is. They went twelve and six last 238 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: year in the Valley. You know, they were going into 239 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: Ars Madness as one of the teams to beat in 240 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: Arch Madness, but they had a couple of injuries right 241 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: before that really cost them. Here. No fans being present here. 242 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: I like Drake, I do, and I talked to a 243 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: couple of my basketball friends yesterday, and this is sort 244 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: of one of those sharper plays. You're seeing a lot 245 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: of the pros, a lot of people recommending this play. 246 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna trail it. I'm gonna hop ran right on 247 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: as well. I like it. I think Drake can win 248 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: the game outright. But I'm catching five and a half. 249 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: I wish it was seven still, but at five and 250 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: a half, let's go with Drake. Let's go with the Bulldogs. 251 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the Missouri Valley Conference, part of 252 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: my old roots. If you will, I love the valley, 253 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: I will all love the Valley. I know this is 254 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: in Manhattan. I get it. It's on ESPNU if you 255 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: want to watch it. It's an early game, two o'clock 256 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: Eastern time start, which also I think favors Drake. Five 257 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: and a half Bulldogs plus five and a half. Play 258 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: number one, all right, play number two again for a 259 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: half of units. This is interesting because these two teams, 260 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: Rhode Island and Arizona State, weren't supposed to play at 261 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: Mohegan Sun but due to all the craziness and the 262 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: Rams were supposed to play Stephen F. Austin, but Steven F. 263 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: Austin left. They were supposed to play Townsend and everything's 264 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: been shuffled around now because of COVID nineteen, so these 265 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: two teams were not supposed to play each other. I 266 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: think that's bad news for Rhode Island personally, because they've 267 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: got to put together a game plan where their team 268 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: is basically brand new. Okay, They've got Fetz Russells, who's 269 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: a very good player. He's on the nasmanth Trophy watch list. 270 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: He could take this Rhoe Island team to the NCAA tournament. Okay, 271 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: so that guy's gonna be great. But the rest of 272 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: the guys, they've got three transfers and two graduating players 273 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: trens or are coming over graduate players for Rhode Island. Okay, 274 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: they're not together. Coach David Cox, good luck getting these 275 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: guys together with eight new players on this roster for 276 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: Rhode Island, and you're taking on Remy Martin, who I 277 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: think could be the best player in the country and 278 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: very well might win the Award. He can score, he 279 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: can pass, he can rebound, and he is dynamic with 280 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. He does not turn the 281 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: basketball over. Incredible passer of the basketball for Bobby Hurley. 282 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: Bobby Hurley coached at Rhode Island. Okay, this is a 283 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: big game for him. The players at Rhode Island don't 284 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: remember that Bobby Hurley was the coach of Rhode Island. 285 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: Arizona State players will know it because Bobby Hurley is 286 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: gonna want to send a message here and get a 287 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: victory here. He's not gonna lay down. He's gonna go 288 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: and I think they play hard. This is not the 289 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: matchup that you or I wanted. RD Island didn't want it. Again, 290 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: back to my E ten roots. I'm a UMass graduate. 291 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: Rhode Island always has like one good player and then 292 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. They kind of try to put 293 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: him around everyone. Lamar Odom was one of those guys. 294 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: You know, they have one guy and they try to 295 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: do big things and sometimes it works out where they 296 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: get some decent role players, but it's rare for them 297 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: to have the depth to compete and contend with a 298 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: team like Arizona State. So I got Bobby Hurley, I 299 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: got under ten points here. This team's gonna make the tournament. 300 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: This team could win the PAC twelve again. Marie Martin 301 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: could put up a huge number here. Arizona State's never 302 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: lost to Rhode Island. I just think the Rams they 303 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: may be in the game, they may hang around for 304 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: a little while, maybe the first half. But I'm gonna 305 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: lay the eight points here. Arizona State and Bobby Hurley, 306 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: let's see them go in there get a w Remy 307 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: Martin put up a big number, setting a message with 308 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: a matchup there against Fat Russell, right that those were 309 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: one of the games. Maybe you look back on you like, well, 310 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: what happened when they played head to head. So don't 311 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: think that Martin's gonna sleep on that. I think he 312 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: puts up a big number here. I think Remy goes off. 313 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: Arizona State rolls nor Rhode Island. Bad matchup up here 314 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: in the opener at the Mohegan Sun with no fans 315 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: being present. This game is a seven o'clock Eastern time 316 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: tip on ESPN. Fun game to watch. Arizona State minus eight. 317 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: We're half a unit laying it here against Rhode Island. 318 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: So our two plays for college basketball here going today. 319 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: We're going Arizona State minus eight against Rhode Island, and 320 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: we're going Drake plus five and a half taking on 321 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Kansas State on the road. My name is Matt Perrault. 322 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: We are doing a Thursday morning Turkey Day live stream. Okay, 323 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: that is happening tomorrow, same time as always. Three games 324 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: to break down. I will go for an hour, or 325 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: I'll go for as long as you guys want me to. 326 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: If it's only going to be half an hour, maybe 327 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: only go half an hour. I mean, it depends on 328 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: if you show up or not. If you guys are 329 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: there at eleven am Eastern and not am Pacific.
