As always, we're gonna start off with 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of crowing, a little bit of uh 29 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: patter ourselves in the back here because we hit in 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: New Mexico State last week as a live dog. The 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: beat Washington State out right now, we did miss on 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Weaver State, Firman, and Howard and none of them covered. 33 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: But we only focus on the positives in this podcast. Matt, 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: isn't that right? That's right? 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: And hey, we're endorsing live dogs here, which, as I 36 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: just recently learned as soon as two weeks ago, that 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: means money lines. So if you're kind of lose a 38 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: money line dog, you want them to lose you only 39 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: get killed. You want them to lose by two or three. 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: I want to feel like, ah, okay, that was not 41 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: even close. So that's how I look at that. Kind 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: sure one one out of three. I think that was 43 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: plus ev I depending on what I don't have I 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: own numbers for you out there. Let's start off with 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: Charleston at Old Dominion. This is on Wednesday, December twenty, 46 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: second day of this podcast release. It's a short dog. 47 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Jim kim Palm only has a set minus three and 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: favorite Old Dominion, but Hey, Frankly, I think Charleston has 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: been the better team this year. 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: What do you think? Yeah, I love Charleston this year. 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: I think Pat Kelsey's done an incredible job getting talent 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: in there. The question for them is health. John Meeks 53 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: has been out, they've been missing Dalton Bowlin has the 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: broken foot, and famiir A Lee just transferred, which is 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: wally confusing. He's playing like twenty eight minutes game over 56 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: the last five, like clearly a huge part of their plans, but. 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: Like a fun team, like a new regime, like everything 58 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: about that twitch just seen. 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: Playing one part of fastest tempos in the country. You're winning, 60 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: like it's not like they but bad. That was very 61 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 3: confusing to me. I don't know if it's going to 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: be like audition by subtraction thing, because clearly he was disgruntled, 63 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: Like you don't leave if you're having you know you're 64 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: in nirvana and you're feeling this utopian state of basketball. 65 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: But I still think Charleston's better. Old Dominion struggled. Charles 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 3: Smith has been out for Old Dominion as well. So kay, 67 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: all of that said about the health and availability of 68 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: this Cougar team, I'm it. I think the Cougar's went 69 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: on the road. I guess this is only gonna be 70 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: probably like one or two, so it's not like a 71 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: huge dog. But you know what, we only have the 72 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: Ken Pome lines to go off of right now, so 73 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: that's what we're using and go Cougar's. 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, not a lot to work with in terms of 75 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: game options here. Yeah, I think Charleston wins Oldminion's a 76 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: little bit better, but I think they went on the 77 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: using theory with la Jim. I buy that age ratings ghastly. 78 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, see, I was looking at that too, Matt. 79 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: Charleston's highest used player this year. Dimitrius Underwood, is a 80 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: D three transfer. He's been pretty good is his efficiencies 81 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: and poor as well, but I'm surprised he's been so 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: I guess some effective in terms of production for them 83 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: this season. 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: He is a Thomas the Tank engine like. He is 85 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: a big fella. He's got some he's got some strength 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: to him. 87 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: All right, guys, next game here, I'm gonna throw one 88 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: at you. That might be a little bit strange. And 89 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: this is a conference game. It's in the ACC. Notre 90 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Dame is heading to Pittsburgh, that's right, Pittsburgh next Tuesday. 91 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: All right, this is off in the future. It's a 92 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: little bit who says no here Jim minus six Notre 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: Dame on the road. According to Ken Pom, Pitt has 94 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: shown a little bit of guts against some better teams. 95 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, I mean Notre Dame hasn't 96 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: really impressed so far, and they're going to get just 97 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: demolished in the paint by John Hugly. Atkinson has not 98 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: really been the like, fix the issues kind of guy 99 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: that I thought he would be for them hugely. 100 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Is a beast. 101 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: He's just a complete animal on the glass and as 102 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: a finisher inside. I don't know if they're gonna go 103 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: out right though, Kay, I'm sorry. The coaching edge is 104 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: just too much for Notre Dame here a little bit. 105 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: I would still lean to them getting it done outright. 106 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 3: But hey, Pitt is a dog. Is more appealing to 107 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: me than Pitt playing points, So that's certainly something Matt. 108 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they get femeo to Kali back playing fully healthy. 109 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: Burden's been acclimated, so like, you got a decent backcourt 110 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: and the front core. It's been a strength for the 111 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: pit all season. Now, this team was laughably bad to start, 112 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: but last five games lost in Minnesota by one, Virginia 113 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: by one, beat Colgate lost a mammoth. But Mamath covers 114 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: against everyone, literally fucking everyone. They played, they covered, they 115 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: haven't not covered the season, and they just beat Saint 116 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: John's narrator goes, well, justin, I don't care if he 117 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: was out. I don't care. I don't want to hear that. Okay, 118 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: that's five straight decent games. Yeah, I'm in on the spot, 119 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: Jeff Cable carry us to the promise line. 120 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: And you know what, Matt, you got one more here, 121 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: don't you? But I did? Cincinnati Houston next Tuesday, tell 122 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: us about it. 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a flyer. I'm not going to put 124 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: any sort of large, irresponsible amount of money on this, 125 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: but I do think since he is in many ways 126 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: a Houston Light with their physicality and their length, and 127 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: we saw Sincey stand up to the big boys with 128 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: how well they played against Illinois, and their offense is 129 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: very erratic
