Speaker 1: Shut it all at Codge Basketball.

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: It's not the size on the dog in the fight,

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: it's the size of the fight in the dog.

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: What's up the general nation? Welcome to the Action Network Podcast.

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: This is the college basketball Weekend betting preview. I'm Stucky

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: in with me as always is Colin Wilson and Mike Randall. Colin,

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: you're Arkansas Razorbacks on quite a roll.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say.

21
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I brought them to the table for the

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: team to assess what we've damaged we can do in March,

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 3: Alabama blew is away at their house.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: We blew them away at our house.

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: It was a nice impressive comeback when we got down

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: early in the second half. I'm continually impressed with the

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: free throws that we're making. That tells me a lot

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: about what we can do coming up in tournaments. But

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: more importantly, we've sealed our fate on the other side

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: of the bracket in the SEC tournament. I'm more interested

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: now in seeing a team that's also hot in Kentucky

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: to see if they fall on the Alabama side or

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: the side that's going to have LSU Arkansas. You know,

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: there's a chance that one of these sides could be

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: heavily tilted depending on where Kentucky.

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: So things are very interesting, yes, and see.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Look at the blue Bloods. By the way, speaking of

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky in my backyard, Kentucky's on a roll. Duke is

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: on a roll. Michigan State all the side is putting

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: some wins together. And that Michigan State win at Duke

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, the house starts to look better.

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many of those three

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: end up getting in, but Randall, how goes it? Brother?

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're exactly right, man. It's the blue Bloods.

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: It's that old gift of the of the undertaker popping

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: out of the coffin.

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 5: They're all rolling.

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: Kudos to you, stuck for being all over Duke pounding

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: the Orange for their third straight winning home and now

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: Michigan State with that big win against Illinois on Tuesday tonight,

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: Ohio State. So yeah, it's you know, they're they're coming

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 4: on strong. Cali Powri this weekend against Florida. A lot

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: of great games, but they're making a big push.

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: He knows, not coming on strong, and it's really unfortunate.

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Is you're alma mater Boston College? Oh yeah, Kelly's transferring now,

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh it's stuck.

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 5: It's awful.

58
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: Are they playing Notre Dame this weekend?

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Right?

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 5: I mean that's normally like a rivalry game.

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, man, if.

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: You want to college basketball blue blood that didn't is

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: not living up to the higher How about North Carolina

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: trying to get all these teams to get home games

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: and getting blown out by Marquette on their own court.

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 5: Oh, disastrous scheduling mistake. Oh my god. Oh I do

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: like sweaters. I like the feel of not a tie

69
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 5: around my neck, choking me.

70
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: So I got a lot of sweaters.

71
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into. We're gonna add our final futures.

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: So our future's portfolio here in just a second, we're

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: switching up how we're doing that. I didn't even tell you, guys,

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: how we're doing it. I just wild you to bring

75
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: one future we'll bring in the guys from three Man

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: Weave for our Friday Night six pack, which has been

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: on fire the past couple of weeks since I implemented

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: putitive measures and if we had a losing week, so

79
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: hopefully we can keep that going. We'll take a quick

80
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: look at Saturday, and we'll also take a quick look

81
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: just get some quick thoughts on the conference tournaments that

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: start early next week. We'll obviously be recording on Thursday

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: next week, so we'll take a look at a lot

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: of the conference sort of to start next weekend and

85
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: early the week there after. TBD on an additional podcast

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: or any other content on Power five conferences. But first,

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: let's just go around the horn rant a takeaway anything

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: you want to talk about over the last week. Look,

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting, I'm starting to get get a good feel

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: in a great Saturday, and we're gonna fire in March.

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: You know, there's gonna be times when you lose bets

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: this year, when someone is out the other day, app

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: State their leading scores out. I have no idea why

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: played last weekend after they came back from a COVID

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: break and then he was just all of a sudden.

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Now that's gonna happen this year. That's the nature of

97
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: the beast. But you know what I can't stand this year.

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: I've accepted the fact that I'm going to lose bets

99
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: because of personalities that I'm not aware of, last second announcements,

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: and you hope that it just evens out. I can't

101
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: stand losing a bet because of incompetent officials. And when

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I say officials, I me an official TD Teddy has

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: got to go. I mean, I'm sick of this guy.

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Every single time I have a bet and he's on

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and he's there on the court, I know I'm gonna

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: get fucked somehow. And where are my Billikins? Jersey? A

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: bad week for our futures the last couple of days.

108
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Illinois not gonna get a one seed. Now,

109
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Desumu's hurt. Hopefully he's back soon. Saint Louis loses to

110
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: VCU in a game where they just call phantom foul.

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: At their phantom foul, they don't call the foul in

112
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: the three. Just a disgusting fit like that could keep

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: Saint Lewis out of the tournament now. And of course

114
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: it's TV Teddy. Every time all Saint Louis's team's fouling out,

115
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: he's he's blowing a whistle ten minutes late on a

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: foul touch foul and Sale is already headed the other way.

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Every time I see that guy in the court, I

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: get sick if I have a bet on it. So

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: that's my runt of the week, Randall.

120
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, frustrated that a lot of the teams we like,

121
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 4: especially in the A ten man. I mean, this conference

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: is eating each other up. I mean just knocking each

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 4: other off, back and forth, no bones, Highland TV Teddy

124
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 4: Saint Louis really frustrated me.

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: I like them.

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: I will go down on the ship with Saint Louis.

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: I think they can absolutely make a run. You know,

128
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 4: Dayton crushes Saint Louis at home place, fantastic. Davidson really

129
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: tries to get Saint Bonaventure Bonaventure escape there. But just

130
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: a lot of these smaller conferences sort of eating each

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: other up, and we're gonna end up.

132
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 5: I'm afraid with one of these a lot of these

133
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 5: seven and nine, you.

134
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: Know, big Power five teams that I hate and I

135
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: love to give the little guy a chance, but they

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: got to finish off strong and they can't have you know,

137
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: two or three wins here at the end of the

138
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: losses at the end of the year, because it's going

139
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: to hurt him.

140
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Colin, what do you got for this week?

141
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean two small complaints.

142
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: One would be too late not covering the eleven I

143
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: mean kind of had in range. But Memphis give them credit,

144
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: they had an eighteen day layoff after some COVID disruption.

145
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: Maybe oddsmakers have finally adjusted for that when we have

146
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: some of these breaks with these with these delays. But

147
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: the complaint really for me last night hoops was Seaton Hall.

148
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: I thought seven and a half some really good matchups

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: against Butler and shot six of twenty seven from three,

150
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: completely ice cold in the second half, only made to

151
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: the free throw line for seven shots total, completely got

152
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: destroyed on the boards.

153
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: Butler had twenty nine defensive rebounds.

154
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: Pathetic effort from Seaton Hall, A team that I thought

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: was ready to dance in March.

156
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows they're they could possibly find themselves in

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the bubble. Now they lose back to back road games

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: at Georgetown and app Butler, you have any feel for

159
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the Seaton Hall team in your backyard, Randall, Yeah.

160
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: I mean my issue has been for many many years

161
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: that Kevin Willard struggles in these big spots. He was

162
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: very much on the hot seat. Then they made that

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: huge run in the Big East Tournament and that kind

164
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: of quieted everyone. But my issue has always been that

165
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: I just don't think he's a strong tactician guy, and

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: I think that when it gets to at the end

167
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: of the year in close games, in big spots, they

168
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: are always going to struggle.

169
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 5: So I usually fade them.

170
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: I find him guys to be similar to Wojahowski with Marquette,

171
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: like they have a belief they have a style. For

172
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: some reason, I just feel like it doesn't translate what

173
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: it needs to do.

174
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: And it goes back to Marquette when they gagged.

175
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: It and they could have at least got to share

176
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: the biggiest title and lust a home to Mac McClung

177
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: Georgetown team.

178
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: I saw that one line, will you will you or

179
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: will you not?

180
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: Ever get over that game?

181
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: I can't. It's just that's my point.

182
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: Is these guys have these crazy losses that make no sense.

183
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: And what bothers me is what you guys said the

184
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: opposite of with Danny Hurley, you said he gets them going,

185
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: he gets fired up, he gets energy. I don't see

186
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: that with teams like Seaton, Hall of Marquette. And that's

187
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: why I listen. That one surprised me too. Don't get

188
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: me wrong, But in the end, like you stick to

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 4: you what you believe, and you stick to your priors.

190
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: In this case, that's the deal.

191
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Fifty years from now, Randall's gonna be old and seeing

192
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Ale like that. Oh and someone someone's gonna say, hey,

193
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: how are you today, Grandpa Randal, And he's gonna say,

194
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe Marquette couldn't close out that game at

195
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: home for the Big East title. Mac McClung. And they're

196
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna be like, what, No, I agree with you, that

197
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: was a crazy, crazy loss. I'm just messing around with you.

198
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Let's take a look into the futures.

199
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: Here's the thing about the future.

200
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 4: Every time you look at it, the changes because you

201
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: looked at it.

202
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: We have six futures, some of them I still like.

203
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't like them as much as I did last week,

204
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: just because I really want to Illinois to get the

205
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: one seed. But getting one seed this year is worth

206
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: so much, as we talk about, as you avoid Gonzaga

207
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and Baylor until the final four. Now, look, you're probably

208
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna to beat him anyway, but try to avoid them

209
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: as long as possible and hope someone else knocks them out.

210
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: That's that's really the goal here. So but as of

211
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: right now, our futures Illinois twenty to one, hopefully Io

212
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: comes back soon. Florida State thirty eight to one. Really

213
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: like that one, Saint Louis one hundred and twenty five

214
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: to one. Can we get in? If we can get in,

215
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: we can make a run to the final four in

216
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the right draw. Rutgers eighty to one. That don't mind

217
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: that at all. Alabama twenty two to one. Don't love

218
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: the price, but don't hate. I think they're one of

219
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: the handful of teams that could, you know, could make

220
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: a run and could potentially beat kid Zagarabel in the

221
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: best day. So I don't mind our portfolio at all

222
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: right now. I just wish Illinois was trending tour one

223
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: seed and Saint Louis would have not gotten TV, Teddied

224
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: and Yukon fifty five to one from last week, which

225
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: I like as well, especially as book Night continues to

226
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: get back and get healthier. So this week it's our

227
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: last ad we might from one of us will have.

228
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: We could have a recommendation, especially once the bracket comes out.

229
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. But this is our last official

230
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: ad to the Future's portfolio for the podcast for this year.

231
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: And what I told everyone to do. We each brought

232
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: three teams to the table twice this week. I told

233
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: everyone to bring one to the table and I will

234
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: tell you how we're going to decide after I'll go

235
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: to last this time, Randall, what do you got you start?

236
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: I brought back and when we had them before. But

237
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: I'm looking for teams that legitimately have a shot, and

238
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: we've covered a lot of them. I'm bringing back West Virginia.

239
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: The Mountaineers have won five of the last six games.

240
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: The only game they lost was double overtime at home

241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: to a really solid Oklahoma team.

242
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: They beat Texas away. That's a nice win.

243
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: They beat Texas Tech away comfortably as Beard gets kicked

244
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: out of the game by eleven. That's a great win.

245
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: They beat Kansas at home by twelve. They are impressive.

246
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: Ever since Chibwe has left, I think they've taken it

247
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: up a notch to a different level. They played Gonzaga

248
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: earlier this year and gave him the toughest game they

249
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 4: had all year, losing by five on the neutral. And

250
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: of course, guys, next Tuesday, they are supposed to play

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: Baylor at home COVID permitting, and if they beat Baylor,

252
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: this number is gonna go sky high. And we saw

253
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: that Baylor was a little shaky going against Iowa State.

254
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: I know they struggled with the free throw line, but

255
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: Miles McBride can make big time shots down the stretch.

256
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: He made a big shot there at home to beat

257
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: Texas Tech. Culver inside does a nice job rebounding. The

258
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: team is coming on. They're taking the defensive moniker of

259
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: Huggins and trying to improve as.

260
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 5: They have all year.

261
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 4: I get the limitations, but I don't care about the

262
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: limitation because everyone we pick right now is going to

263
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: have them. I want a team with a great coach,

264
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: with a style and who has had a strong strength

265
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 4: of schedule that will not be intimidated in these big spots,

266
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: and that's what I have at West Virginia.

267
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Country Roads. Colin, who you were?

268
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: You?

269
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: It's interesting that you started off this conversation with the

270
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: number one seeds and wanting to avoid Baylor and Gonzaga,

271
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: because that is exactly the angle that I took.

272
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: I was just I didn't want to play around.

273
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: Here is the last time we're doing the Future's Portfolio,

274
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: so I thought, I'm not gonna go get a long shot.

275
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get somebody's on the bubble, and I'm

276
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: not gonna get somebody I'm gonna worry about being an

277
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: eight to nine seed and ending up with Gonzaga or Baylor. Well,

278
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: what's the best way for me to avoid Gonzaga or Baylor.

279
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: Take the number one seed that's currently slotted in at

280
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: three who's hot and that's Michigan. And the best price

281
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: you can find out there is eight to one. And

282
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: for me, you know what I'm looking for when I'm

283
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: making my final selections in the Futures Portfolio, I want

284
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: to be on the other side of Baylor and Gonzaga,

285
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: avoid them completely till we get to the final four.

286
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: Michigan probably could drop a game in the Big Ten tournament.

287
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: They could be a complete fom of a Big Ten tournament.

288
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: I still think they're slotted in for a one seed,

289
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: considering I think Ohio State is that last number one

290
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: right now. I think there's some wiggle room for Michigan.

291
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: They still have Iowa at home, they have Illinois at home,

292
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: so there's some big games the Big Ten Tournament. I

293
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: just I think that they can flop and still fall

294
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: into the one seed. So that gives them value for

295
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: avoiding the two biggest teams that we've talked about all season.

296
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: But this team brings it in the.

297
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: Most important categories that you need to make a run

298
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: with the four factors of basketball, one of them being

299
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: effective field goal percentage. They're fifth on offense nationally. They're

300
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 3: sixth on defense nationally. You want a team in the

301
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: tournament that knocks down free throws. Michigan is seventy six

302
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: point seven percent.

303
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: On the year. They rank twenty ninth nationally.

304
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: If there's a complaint about this team, it's that if

305
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: they don't draw enough foulsand they don't get to the line.

306
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: But let's talk about something that people are not real

307
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: with this Michigan team. You see the record that says

308
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: sixteen and one. But what you haven't heard about is

309
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: that they're thirteen and four against the spread. That's Drake Like,

310
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: that's Prairie View, that's Navy, the luckiest team in the country.

311
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they're against the spread mark, they're crushing bookmakers.

312
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: No one's been able to put out a proper line

313
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: on Michigan all season. So they're slotted into the three.

314
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: They're going to avoid Gonzaga and Baylor. I get them

315
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: at a much more attractive price eight to one. That's

316
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: easy to take into the final four. Maybe for some

317
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: reason there's no reseeding and Baylor Gonzaga end up in

318
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: the same draw. You never know, but I think Michigan

319
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: is a team that is easily going to avoid the

320
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: two biggest. They have a much better price, and they

321
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: bring it in the four factors. Analytically, easy pick for

322
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: me to bring the portfolio.

323
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: What could also happen is, like Baylor loses at West Virginia.

324
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: Baylor is still doingly some COVID issues, they lose in

325
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: the Big twelfth tournament, and like Michigan runs the table.

326
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Bayer is probably still getting a one seed, but Michigan's

327
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: probably jumping them, and you could have Baylor and Gonzaga

328
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: on the same side if that happens. So just a scenario,

329
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: but regardless, Yeah, Michigan is in prime position to get

330
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: a one seed and that's that would mean that you

331
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: can avoid theoretically as of right now, Bayloring and Zaga

332
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: to the final four. All right, let me bring what

333
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring them to. I'm going with another Big

334
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: twelve team. We don't have currently any Big twelve teams,

335
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: so I'm going to bring Texas twenty eight to one

336
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: very experienced, senior driven team. They shoot a ton of threes,

337
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: which I like because they're not like one of the

338
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: three or four best teams in the country, so they

339
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: have a high they have some high variants in that aspect.

340
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: I think they shoot threes at the top fifty rate nationally.

341
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: They can defend the rim as well. When I look

342
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: at Texas, and obviously Greg Brown is super talented, but

343
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, Andrew just is only shooting thirty percent from

344
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: three if he gets hot. This team just is dangerous, offensively, oozing,

345
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: with athleticism, and I just I think that they're undervalued

346
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: in the market because of how they've been how they've

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: played over the past month or two. They've dealt with

348
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: a lot of COVID issues. They played Bailor I think

349
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: gone February TEWOD. They only practiced like one time over

350
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: the past month, So if they haven't really gotten into

351
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: their full rhythm and routine, were starting to see them now. Look,

352
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: they lost to West Virginia by two in a game

353
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: they were rolling. Huggins made a nice adjustment going to

354
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: that matchup zone. But they also lost to Oklahoma State

355
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: double overtime and they were still getting back into the flow.

356
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: They're a lost a bailor on that game by fourteen,

357
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: but you saw the flashes, Like they've played a number

358
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: of games shorthanded. They lost Oklahoma by one, Texas Tech

359
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: by two, Villanova by four. These those are their only losses.

360
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: They have no bad losses. They've lost to top twenty

361
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: five teams all year long, that by one or two.

362
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: But I think now this team is going to start rolling.

363
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: I think that they're undervalued in the market. They're undervalued

364
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: in their metrics, which are still fine, Like they're still

365
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: in that range where you want to be in the

366
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: top fifty ish for combined to adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency.

367
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: They're right there on the border. They're healthy. Now the

368
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: COVID issues are behind them. I mean even Shaka Smart

369
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: had to deal with COVID issues. He wasn't on the

370
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: sidelines for a couple of games. So hook them horns.

371
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: This is a team with a lot of continuity, a

372
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: lot of experience. Shoot a ton of threes right on

373
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: the defensive end. I like them. I like where they're trending.

374
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: So that is who I am bringing to the table.

375
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Hook them horns. Rairiy s.

376
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Guys are live and hunt keep in the high Texas.

377
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Now to decide which one we are going to add,

378
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I need everyone to take out. I've had a baper.

379
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: You destroyed it on your phone. Now you can choose

380
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: your you can choose your one that you brought to

381
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: the table, and you could rate that the highest. So

382
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you give that three points, you give someone else's two,

383
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: and someone else's one point. You're gonna three points to

384
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: one of the picks, to to another, one to another.

385
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: Maybe someone changed your mind. Go ahead and a sign right,

386
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, reveal your grades and throw in

387
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: some commentary if you'd like, on the other two picks.

388
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: Okay, the one I like the best is Michigan. I

389
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: love what Colin's saying. It's almost like people are forgetting

390
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 4: those other one seeds besides Baylor and Gonzaga. I heard

391
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: the other day on a podcast I went on that

392
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: somebody is out there selling a ticket for Michigan at

393
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: let's see one hundred and fifty to one to win

394
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 4: the title. I put eight hundred bucks on it, and

395
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 4: they're letting you get out of it.

396
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 5: For thirteen thousand.

397
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 4: So they're selling it for thirteen thousand and you can

398
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 4: win one hundred and thirty something like that. That's what

399
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: they're trying to get for it. They have the exact

400
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: profile of a team that can win the national title.

401
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: Get Their odds are significantly better than the Big two.

402
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 4: They're winning on the road, they're winning off of COVID

403
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: pauses Dickinson inside. I thought Holtman made a huge mistake

404
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: doubling Dickinson early in the game against Ohio State and

405
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: letting those shoots get hot on the road there in Columbus.

406
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 4: I gave three points to Michigan stuck. I love your

407
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: argument with Texas because everyone suffers from recency bias and

408
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: Texas was a team that when they won the preseason

409
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: tournament there and they beat Davidson Indiana, North Carolina, everyone.

410
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 5: Was on them, they loved them.

411
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: Then they lost at home to Villanova, and like everybody

412
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: jumped off the train. And now because they lost three

413
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: games in a row in the middle of the year, Oklahoma, Baylor,

414
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State, people are now off of them. But as

415
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: I say all the time, Man, Texas Tech and Auburn

416
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 4: the year they made the Final Four.

417
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: They both lost three straight games. So I like that

418
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 5: one better.

419
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: I like my West Virginia won the least because I

420
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: thought you guys made really compelling arguments.

421
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: So I went three to one Michigan, Texas and West Virginia.

422
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: What a humble man, Colin, what do you got?

423
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, I'm definitely going with why Michigan.

424
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: Is the top pick for everything that I said, But

425
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: what a non humble man. I don't want to guess

426
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: where I'm going to fall in the bracket. I don't

427
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 3: want to fall to the sort of Gonzaga and Baylor

428
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: and you know everything else. Analytically, you guys know me

429
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: being just the big old geek with stats and shit.

430
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it just falls right in line with everything

431
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: that they've got and say, you know, sorry to say stuck,

432
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: but Texas was the one that I gave the one

433
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: point or two. Listen, there's no shame in what they've

434
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: done away from the Irwin Center. They've only lost one game,

435
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: it was double overtime to Oklahoma State. And I like

436
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: to see neutral courts, away courts. Can you handle yourself

437
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: away from home? And the truth is Texas can. And

438
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: defensively they're a top twenty five team in effective field

439
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: goal percentage. But what worries me is turnovers are just

440
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: killing them in Big twelve play, especially over like the

441
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 3: last eight games they are dead last and non steel

442
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: turnover percentage. The free throw shooting goes cold. I won't

443
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: say it goes hot, but it can stay normalized, but

444
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: sometimes it goes ice cold.

445
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, the score is Michigan six, West Virginia three, Texas three.

446
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: Coming to me last. I could make this interesting and

447
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: change my picks and give my Texas three, but I didn't.

448
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I as a humble man myself, like my friend Mike Edel,

449
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: I put Michigan in number three. I put Texas two

450
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: and Westgin one. The thing the scares me with West

451
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Virginia is they're giving up a ton of open shots.

452
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: They're getting just regression coming. I don't know if they

453
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: can keep shooting as well as they have, but I

454
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: mean Sherman and McBride, I mean, it's been awesome. But

455
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: so Michigan gets three points for me, that makes Michigan nine,

456
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: Texas five West Virginia for runaway for Michigan. Look, basically,

457
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: what it's going to come down to. We have a

458
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: lot of teams that I think can be Kenzagaballa I

459
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: think can make a run is we need one of

460
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: our teams to win it, hopefully, and you know, and

461
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: then if it's Michigan, we basically we make a little

462
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: bit of profit and cover the rest of our futures.

463
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: If Gonzagara Baylor win it, we shake their hands and

464
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: move on. And Saint Louis making a run to the

465
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: final four wouldn't hurt for a little for a little

466
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: head jaction. So that'll that'll wrap it up. Michigan. I

467
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: think they're one of the teams that can beat Gonzagabala,

468
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty confident they're going to get a one seed.

469
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: That's really what put them over the top for me.

470
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to our weekend six pack

471
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: six guys, six picks.

472
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: It's a college hoops, a weekend six.

473
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: Pack, Jim.

474
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: Right, all right, last week again, I mean just on

475
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: a roll. Now I was the only one with a loss.

476
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Great work everyone, I clown clown noise for me, but

477
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: everyone else got a win. Let's keep it rolling. We're

478
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: now joined by the Three Ban Weave or A, quickly

479
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: becoming the most popular college hoops contributed to Action Network Family.

480
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: Remember I told you, guys, be patient. The weave is,

481
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: of course, Kyle Cwan, Jim Root, and Matt Cox, and

482
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: they're here to help us build our weekend six pack

483
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: six picks for the Friday Night College Hoops slate. You

484
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: can catch them on Twitter at three m W Underscore

485
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: CBB and on the Three Man Weave podcast. All right,

486
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: like I said before, since I instant to the new

487
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: punishment policy as the authoritative ruler that I am for

488
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: losing weeks, our six pack crew here has gone seven

489
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: too and one. So safe to assume that the intimidation

490
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: tactics are working and give me a whip sound so ki,

491
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: it's safe to say you guys have been motivated to

492
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: pick winners and avoid further punishment.

493
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: Yes, one hundred percent, A healthy dose of fear goes

494
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: a long way towards our success. We need the stress,

495
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 6: we need these steaks, and absolutely we don't want to

496
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 6: ever have to sing again. I'm sure the folks out

497
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 6: there never want to hear us sing again as well.

498
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: All right, well, Ki, I know that people definitely don't

499
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: want to hear me sing, So I couldn't agree with

500
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: you more. Why do you kick things off for us?

501
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: What do you got?

502
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: Well, I got a scary one. It's Cincinnati minus six

503
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: for me. And yes, the Bearcats have been a nightmare

504
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 6: as a favorite this year. In fact, they're one to

505
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: nine against the spread as a favorite and they've only

506
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 6: won two games by more than six points all year.

507
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 6: I know, sounds kind of scary. Aside from the do theory, though,

508
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 6: I do think the Bearcats are a little underrated. Forty

509
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 6: point loss to Houston dropped them ten spots in kempum.

510
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 6: That was a tough game, but Houston can do that

511
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 6: to anybody in the country. This CINCI team still has

512
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 6: a lot of talent, led by Keith Williams. The shooting

513
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 6: guys is due to come around before last game against Tulsa,

514
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 6: when Cincinnati went ten for twenty six from three. They

515
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 6: were just twenty eight percent in February since coming off

516
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 6: COVID shutdown. That's due to turn around. They have better

517
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 6: shooters in that. In Game one against Tulane they dominated

518
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 6: the glass. That should happen again in game two. They

519
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 6: are the superior team, they have the superior athletes. And

520
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 6: by the way, Game one close six at Twulane only

521
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 6: minus six at Cincinnati. There's value here.

522
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: You're right, that is a very scary kai. Cincinnati's offense

523
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been good, but they've actually been better against zones

524
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: this year. They're percentile in terms of points pro possession

525
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: against zones and they're below either eight percentile against man defense.

526
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: So they've had their struggle shooting, but they've actually been

527
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: a better zone offense this year. And you're going to

528
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: see a ton of zone from Tulane, which could help them.

529
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: So don't hate it. Sulane did. They did have this

530
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of mini resurgence, but I think they're coming back

531
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: down to earth of late, So don't hate it. Good

532
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: luck to you and us, Jim, maybe we match again.

533
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: What do you got well, at this point of the season.

534
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: I love targeting teams that are finally healthy, and that

535
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 7: is certainly a description that fits ut Arlington. Last game

536
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 7: was the first time all season they had Nicholas Olame,

537
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 7: David Azor, and the shot blocking monster known as ko

538
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 7: all on the court at the same time.

539
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: That's huge.

540
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 7: That gives them a high scoring backcourt and enforcer at

541
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 7: the rim. Now, with all those guys around, I think

542
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 7: they're just better at than Arkansas State. And looking at

543
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 7: a line of minus three right now, that shapes up

544
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 7: well from a matchup sense. Their matchup zone is going

545
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 7: to give Arkansas State problems. A team that loves to

546
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 7: drive get downhill and that's just tough to do against

547
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 7: the zone. They clog up driving lanes. That's big, and

548
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 7: Azor's return really helps on the defensive glass as well.

549
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 7: He's one of the best defensive rebounding guards in the country.

550
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 7: But to be honest, this isn't that much of a

551
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 7: matchup play. It's mostly just one team is better than

552
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 7: the other. One team is now healthy. Arlington preseason, I

553
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 7: think this game probably would have been up around seven.

554
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 7: I would take this all the way up to minus five.

555
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 7: I think the Mavericks are a great bet tomorrow, So

556
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 7: give me U T Arlington minus three.

557
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't hate it at all. Arkansas State has been

558
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the most surprising teams in the country. I

559
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the start of February and they

560
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: swept Louisiana, but Louisiana had lost their point guard. They

561
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: slept for the season, and now they swept. Then they

562
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: swept Little Rock, who many thought before the season work

563
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: would Either one of those teams could have won the conference.

564
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: But Little Rock has no guard left. They have no

565
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: guards left at all. They all left the team. They

566
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: don't have a guard. They don't have anyone. I mean, there,

567
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: I go. Look at the Little Rocket. What they're doing

568
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: right now? They are a free fall their free fall mode.

569
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: So you know, am I as impressed with that run?

570
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: Looking back now? Before that they played Ducy Arlington, they'd

571
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: won in overtime, and then they lost by one at home,

572
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: and then they most recently lost to Texas State. Arkansas

573
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: State their defense is awful. Their offense has been surprisingly

574
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: much better than I thought, and a lot of it's

575
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: because they've been shooting really well. So I think that

576
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: there's some regression coming in that department. He's kind of

577
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: saw that. Starting last game when they lost to Texas State,

578
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: they went oh, thirteen from three. I still think they

579
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: have more regression coming. So Jim, great minds. Again, this

580
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: wasn't my pick, but it was something that I considered.

581
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: All Right, Matt, what do you got?

582
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna trail my guy, Jim in terms of,

583
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 8: you know, targeting a play here that's less matchup based,

584
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 8: more value spot based. I'm gonna ride the recent trend

585
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 8: that we've seen dogs, particularly larger dogs, bark awfully strong

586
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 8: the last week. That's exactly what I have circled here

587
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: on Life a New York state of mind. I'm taking

588
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 8: Manhattan from the Mac, not the Mac double A double

589
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 8: the fun. The Jaspers catching ten and a half in

590
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 8: the early line headed up to Siena after a long

591
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 8: two week pause. This is not a COVID pause, folks.

592
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 8: The Jaspers have been very cryptic about their internal team reporting,

593
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 8: but no reason to believe there's been any positive tests there.

594
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 8: So instead of discounting for the COVID shutdowns that have

595
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 8: been very impactful recently, I'm actually going to discount Stata's

596
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 8: home court because Manhattan's had two whole weeks to travel

597
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 8: there prepare, and there's a motivational edge here as well. Here, folks,

598
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 8: five teams are tied right now in this maniacal MAC

599
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 8: conference standing setup in which not even Steve Jobs himself

600
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 8: could reverse engineer the formula. The bottom line is the

601
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 8: Jaspers need wins and they are right on the final

602
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 8: cut line of making that top six within the bracket,

603
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 8: which guarantees a first round by so you're almost guaranteed

604
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 8: to get a locked in and motivated Jasper bunch that's

605
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 8: been playing great as of late, led by singer Stewart,

606
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 8: started the year off hurt. There's some value, as you mentioned,

607
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 8: for teams getting healthier and the Jaspers pit that bill.

608
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 8: Give me Manhattan at ten and a half. Anything down

609
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 8: to nine is where I like them.

610
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's worth noting that Sienna, I mean, look,

611
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, they lost to Saint Peter's

612
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: at home, and they came back and beat Saint Peter's.

613
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: They lost a Marist on the road, and they came

614
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: back and beat Marist, and they lost to Niagara, and

615
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: then they came back and beat Niagara. So they have

616
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: been great in the first game of these back to

617
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: backs recently. Also, it is a very small sample size,

618
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: but they've been horrific against any kind of press that

619
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: they've seen this year. It hasn't been many possessions, but

620
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: you will see that with Manhattan. Don't hate it, Randall,

621
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: what do you got.

622
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: Let's go to the Missouri Valley Boys and talk about

623
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 4: Valpo at home getting points against Indiana State. I love

624
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: teams getting points at home late in the year in

625
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 4: a conference game. Crusader's pl much better than that six

626
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: and ten record when indicating the Missouri Valley. They beat

627
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: Drake at home with hemphill En Penn by seventeen. Don't

628
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: forget that season really changed for them when they had

629
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 4: that thirty six point home loss to Loyal to Chicago,

630
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: which followed the loss to De Paul by nineteen points.

631
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: After that, they were down twenty two to nine to Bradley.

632
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: It looked like things were going the wrong way. They

633
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: came back and won that game in two overtimes, and

634
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: they've been a different team ever since.

635
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 5: They covered two.

636
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 4: Of the last three, three of the last five, and

637
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 4: they played five straight road games and now they come

638
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: home Indiana State has been flying high, which is why

639
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: this line maybe is.

640
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 5: A little bit inflated.

641
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 4: Sycamores have won nine of ten, but I'm looking for

642
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: some regression. And in the history of this battle, Valpol

643
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: won at home last year by nine, lost in ot

644
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: the year before by five, then won at home by

645
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: six against Indiana State, and then won by eighteen. So

646
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: they've done very well at home against Indiana State. You're

647
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: getting three points. I already locked it in. I'll take

648
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: the Crusaders at home. They've played very well. They've battled

649
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 4: some really strong teams, and I love them getting points

650
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: at home against Indiana State. Sycamore have played well, but

651
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: it's time for them on the road, maybe not to

652
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 4: make as many threes, and I'll grab the points here

653
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 4: with the home dog.

654
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: Don't hate it, Colin, what do you got?

655
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: Some would say that these are the two fastest teams

656
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: in the Northeast Conference. I will tell you that these

657
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: are two of the fastest teams in the nation. I'm

658
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: going to take the over in lu and Bryant. As

659
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: of this recording on Thursday night, there is no line

660
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: Ken Palm projects one sixty one. They're tempo based on

661
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: one hundred possessions says that they could get up to

662
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: one sixty five, so I like it up to that number.

663
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: Bryant doesn't play any defense. I mean, best shooting team

664
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: in the NEC, but they're also one of the worst

665
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: defenses in the nation. They are terrible on the boards.

666
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: LU is going to get plenty of putbacks. They're actually

667
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: twenty seventh nationally and offensive rebounds, so I expect a

668
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: lot of easy quick putbacks.

669
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: For an LU team.

670
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: It's terrible shooting a Bryant team that just wants to

671
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: score and run as fast as possible. There could be

672
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: one hundred turnovers in this game, but I mean, you're

673
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: not going to find a mat of two teams with

674
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: with this kind of tempo maybe the entire season.

675
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 9: So to give me the over, yeah, the only thing

676
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 9: that I would that would give me pause with that

677
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 9: is and I agree Bryant wants to I think they

678
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 9: lead the nation and transition opportunities, and they want to

679
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 9: get out and play fast long Island.

680
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: That's all they want to do. And they want to

681
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: create turnovers and get on tras because they're a half

682
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: foot offense. Stinks is Brian. After the pause, they did

683
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: play a little slower last week against Merrymack different kind

684
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: of team, but that they will. Brian will play a

685
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: ton of zone and and Jared Gressla is one of

686
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: my I think one of the most underrated coaches in

687
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: all of college basketball. Bryan's coach. They can win in

688
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: many different ways. But if he decides to slow this

689
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: game down and they they just go one hundred percent

690
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: zone against Long Island, no one has been I think

691
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: no one has been zoned more in the country, actually

692
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: Georgia Southern. I think Long Island is second because Long

693
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Island cannot shoot a lick. But as far as you're analysis,

694
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: I do not disagree. And as far as the preferences

695
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: of both teams, yes, they want to play super fast

696
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: and it's the only way that Long Island's really going

697
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: to cover. I think both teams are as you said,

698
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: top five and adjust the tempo. This year, all right,

699
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm going I was I'll tell you some of the

700
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: games that I was considering. I'll be on Drexel in

701
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: the afternoon. They have played in three weeks, which is scary.

702
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I've been trying to avoid teams like that. But James

703
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Madison hasn't played in like twelve days, James Madison made

704
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: the surprise. I mean, what a season for the Dukes.

705
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: They won the regular season title, they locked in the

706
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: top seed already, and now they're going to get to

707
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: play the conference tournament next week in Harrisonburg on their

708
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: home court. It got moved from DC to Harrisonburg because

709
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: of down what a one there because of COVID issues,

710
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: and I mean a tremendous job. They're led by Matt Lewis,

711
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: who might be the player that we should be the

712
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: player of the year in the conference or senior guard.

713
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: They beat you Rexel arder this year, but they have

714
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: everything locked up. This game is really important for Drexel.

715
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Drexel needs to win this game for a bye. They're

716
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: right on that cut line. If they win, they get

717
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: a bye. If they don't, William Mary gets a buy.

718
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: And you want to talk, you want to see a

719
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: COVID mess, go look at the Colonial athletics schedule this week.

720
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: These teams are supposed to play twice. I think in

721
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: Drexel playing in James Madison. There's only one other game

722
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: in the Colonial this whole weekend. They all every other

723
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: game got canceled because all the teams are in COVID protocol.

724
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: Drexel hasn't played, like I said in over last time

725
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: I played this February seventh, but they haven't been in

726
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: the COVID protocol. It's been their opponents. Colonial is a mess,

727
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: so I'm not worried about anyone being out. They've been practicing.

728
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: I think you get a big day from cam Winner

729
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: here and Drexel locks up that by they get a

730
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: big road win. What they're like a pick, But that

731
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: game starts at four in the afternoon, nice little afternoon special,

732
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: so I can't take that. In case you're listening later,

733
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I'll probably look at my bowling Green Boys against Akron.

734
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I would play app State, but I don't know if

735
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: they're leading score. Gregory is going to be playing, so

736
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant there. Louisiana Little Rock, by the way, I

737
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: mean interesting game of two teams that have lost their

738
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: point guards. Little Rock is just such a mess, but

739
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: Louisiana keeps getting lucky, so I wanted to avoid there.

740
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: I'll probably I'm Saint louis in some capacity, but I'm

741
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: not sure I want to lay points to them because

742
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: they're free throws. But I think they match up really

743
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: well with Richmond, as I said a couple weeks ago

744
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: before their game that got canceled, but I ultimately settled

745
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: on Georgia State minus one at South Alabama a huge

746
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: It is a huge game in the conference. The top

747
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: two seeds in each division get a buy South Alabama

748
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: just needs to win once this weekend to secure one

749
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: of those guys. Georgia State either needs help or needs

750
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: to sweep. So I think this will be a really

751
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: competitive game and competitive series. But I think Georgia State

752
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: is just better. You want to talk about the regression monster,

753
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: I think that it's coming for South Alabama. It's going

754
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: to help Georgia State. During league play, Georgia State is

755
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: shooting thirty percent from three. This is a team that

756
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: lesser was in top fifty nationally shooting the three South

757
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: Alabama opponents and lead players shooting thirty percent. Georgia State

758
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: lasted in the league three point shooting. Georgia State first

759
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: overall in three point defense. Georgia I mean, South Alabama

760
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: plays a ton of zone, one of the most zone

761
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: heavy teams in the country, but they've been giving up

762
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: of and looks no one can hit him. I remember

763
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: a game against app State at the end when they

764
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: won by two. Appstate had like seven open looks from

765
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: three to win the game, and they just kept missing

766
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: them all. So, I mean South Alabama has been running

767
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: really well. They've won eight straight. But I mean they

768
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: just beat app State by two. App State was six

769
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: of twenty seven from three. The game before that, they

770
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: beat app State by two. App State was six of

771
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: twenty six from three. Before that, they beat Troy, Troy

772
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: was six of twenty two from three. They won that

773
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: game by seven. Game before that, Toy eight of twenty

774
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: three from three. A little better. They win that game

775
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: by three. The last time they played Georgia State, they

776
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: won by three. Georgia State was five of twenty five

777
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: from three. Coming off of COVID break, South Alabama only

778
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: won by three. I mean he goes all. I mean,

779
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: you go back to Coastal Carolina. They won by six

780
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: and they won by four. Start off this winning streak

781
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: by beating Georgia Southern, who was eight of thirty six

782
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: from three. All of these teams are shooting twenty percent

783
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: from three. They're due to have shots from their opponents

784
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: start to fall. Kane Williams, who was only shooting thirty

785
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: percent on the year before last game, who has been

786
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: much better throughout his career. He found a shot last game.

787
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: I think this team, look, South Alabama does do some

788
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: things well defensively that Georgia State likes to do, mainly

789
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: in the pick and roll. But I think Georgia State

790
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: matches up well. They're the more talented team. The aggressive

791
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: monster is coming. This game is at nine o'clock on

792
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: ESPN Two big Big Conference Tournament implications. I think Georgia

793
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: State gets it done on their road, and if they don't,

794
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: I'll be back to them again on Saturday. So there

795
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: you have it. Kaiwmcincy minus six, Verst Tuo Lane, jim

796
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: U t Arlington minus three against Arkansas State, Matt Manhattan

797
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: plus ten and a half against Siena. Colin went with

798
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: the Bryant over. Unfortunately, that means that game will get canceled.

799
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: Brandle went with DAPO plus three and I went with

800
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: Georgia State minus one at South Alabama. Let's have a night, folks.

801
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to Saturday and go around

802
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: the horn. Here. So many games, so little time.

803
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 3: Let's look at the Saturday slate.

804
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: Randall, Let's let's switch it up. Let me start with

805
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: you this week. What do you got?

806
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: It's circling the wagons, guys. Is Texas Tech really going

807
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: to lose four in a row? They're at home playing Texas,

808
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 4: the team that they beat because McClung really hit that buzzer.

809
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 4: I like Texas. We just talked about him with the future.

810
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: But they are at home favored by two in a

811
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 4: game they absolutely have to have. Texas was fortunate there

812
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: they beat Kansas, so they come into this game.

813
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 5: Texas Tech is going.

814
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: To be desperate and I'm just going to bank on

815
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 4: the fact there that the defense is going to show

816
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 4: up that they're going to find a way to get

817
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 4: this one home here in a game that they absolutely

818
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: need to have to really write the ship. They have

819
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 4: lost five of their last eight games and three in

820
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: a row, so they get back home here. Kyler Edwards

821
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 4: needs to get going again. Mccullar has gotten back into

822
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: for Remember he was out for a while and he

823
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 4: was getting acclimated, so I expect a big effort.

824
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 5: The number is going to be low. I'm gonna take

825
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 5: the Red Raiders at home.

826
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: Kle Yeah, I'm gonna go with Alabama and Mississippi State

827
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: on the over this weekend, and technically Alabama has not

828
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: clinched the number one seed in the SEC. I know

829
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: that was a big motivating factor for them against Arkansas.

830
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 3: But the thing is with Mississippi State, when you look

831
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 3: at him, you se two hundred and ninety third in tempo,

832
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: but that's not really true when they faced a team

833
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: that's fast. LSU also has a lot of tempo, a

834
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: lot of scoring. That game was ninety four to eighty.

835
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: Alabama Missippi State played each other earlier this season one

836
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty four points. I think Alabama is going

837
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: to try to find their shot. They will go as

838
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: fast as possible. Major droughts. In that Arkansas game, I

839
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 3: think they get off the Schneid agains. Mississippi State don't

840
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: hate it.

841
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: If you look at some of the shot quality metrics

842
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: out there. I think if you if you just type

843
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: in shot quality that there's an actual site that goes

844
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: But you can look into some of these stats and

845
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: it really looks as like the quality of shots that

846
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: you take and quality of shots that you've out. It's

847
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: not an end all, be all statistic because you also

848
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: have to look at like some teams get quality shots,

849
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: but they just suck. And there's there's other factors that

850
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: go into it, but it's from a from a luck perspective.

851
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: West Virginia has been getting very fortunate Clemson and Navy.

852
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, no matter what lucky metric you look at.

853
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: With Navy, they're they're going to be the luckiest team

854
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: in the country. No matter what luck metric you look at.

855
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: Guess it's going to be dead last, it's Lola Maryland

856
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: and guess who they play each other? Loyal Maryland and

857
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: Navy on Saturday. Hold your nose, people were going back

858
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: to Oyle Maryland, who I think the last time we

859
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: played them against Navy was down like twenty four nothing

860
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: twelve minutes in. We're going back. I was gonna slam

861
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: this because Navy was like locked into the one of

862
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: the divisions in the Patriot League and Oil needed to

863
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: split one of these games to get into the conference

864
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: tournament in this stupid Patriot League format where they have

865
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: three divisions of like three teams and the top two

866
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: teams in each division get in based on the division record,

867
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: like the teams only played like three games against their division.

868
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,479
Speaker 1: So dumb they just announced today it took me forever

869
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: to figure this out this week. But then the announced

870
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: today they don't have just everyone's getting again. I mean,

871
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: so whatever, but I'll be on them. Kansas State, they're

872
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: playing better of late. I think you're gonna get a

873
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: good big number, maybe get like sixteen seventeen to West Virginia.

874
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: West Virginia also is Baylor on deck. I think Kansas

875
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: State can stay within that number. I'm gonna I think

876
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Miami against clubs and hold your nose

877
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: another big number. But I think those are three good

878
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: sp and those are three teams that have been unlucky

879
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: from a shock body perspective against three teams that have

880
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: been pretty fortunate. So I'll start there right on what

881
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: you got next?

882
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 4: Well, this is not going to surprise anyone listening to

883
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 4: this podcast. Guys, Marquette stinks, okay, and they're going up

884
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: against Connecticut. Listen, let's not do the knee jerk reaction.

885
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 4: They beat Butler by sixteen. Congratulations, and then the big

886
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 4: win over North Carolina.

887
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: I get it.

888
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 4: Well, that's because North Carolina has weak guards. I understand

889
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 4: Greg Elliot. Every once in a while, Greg Galli is

890
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 4: a big game. He's totally screwed me against Creighton, you know,

891
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 4: a month ago. But no problem. Now they're playing Connecticut.

892
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 4: I have to lay seven. I have no problem with

893
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: that number. Marquette is still nine and fourteen against the

894
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 4: spread this year. I don't think they're going to show

895
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 4: up and have a big game like they get against

896
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 4: North Carolina. Connecticut's defense is too good. Book Night is rolling.

897
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: They return home laying the points with the Huskies against

898
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 4: my favorite fade, Marquette.

899
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: Bring it all full circle with the Marquette fadel. Where

900
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: you going next?

901
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 2: Well, Illinois took a lot.

902
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 3: I think that as we're reporting this here in just

903
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: a little bit, I think they're going to pound Nebraska

904
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 3: into oblivion. And that means they're going to come into

905
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: the Wisconsin game. You know, hopefully with a big win,

906
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 3: big double digit win against Nebraska, they won't be as

907
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 3: heavily motivated.

908
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: We'll see how Ao is doing with a mask on.

909
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: But Wisconsin, if we're talking about a team that is

910
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 3: desperate for a signature win, it's the Wisconsin Badgers. If

911
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: you look at it, per Kin Palm, they don't have

912
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: a single win over anybody that's ranked in the top twenty.

913
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 2: Five they're big without.

914
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 3: The only team that they've beaten in the top twenty

915
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 3: five according to ken Palm is loyal Chicago. So if

916
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: you go back and look, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State,

917
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 3: Michigan again, they lost all those games. So a team

918
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: that is looking for a signature win is Wisconsin. I

919
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 3: think they'll be playing out of desperation. I think they'll

920
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: put up a pretty good effort and at least cover

921
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 3: the spread.

922
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeap, keep your eye on Dissum his status. I think

923
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: he's going to be back maybe for that game. He's

924
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: got a broken nose. He's not playing against Nebraska tonight,

925
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: so keep your eye out there. Maybe revers of Potter

926
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: can show up in a big game against a big

927
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: big like Coborn, because they've just been non existent against

928
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: these bigs when they played these better teams, especially on

929
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: the glass. All right, where am I gonna go next?

930
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: I think Xavier's going a good spot against Creighton. Creighton's

931
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: obviously coming off. You know, they blew out the Paul,

932
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: they'd beat Villan. No, they have Villanova on deck. They're

933
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a role. I think this

934
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of sleepy spot at Xavier.

935
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: Xavier last home game Senior night off a bad loss

936
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: against Providence. They really need this game for their tournament hopes.

937
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: They've dealt with COVID issues, the lineup issues. But you

938
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: really want to keep an eye on if Nate Johnson

939
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: can go here. He didn't play last game. They really

940
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: need his outside shooting. I think he might. He's gonna play.

941
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: Keep an eye out my piece for my Saturday spots,

942
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: which if you're looking for fades, you certainly do that

943
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 1: because they're like fifteen and three the last three weeks.

944
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: But so you want to talk about the regression Monster's

945
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: probably coming for me. But I think you can catch

946
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: You're catching Xavier in a good spot here. Maybe we

947
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: can get four or five plus. And we need be

948
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: pretty certain that Nate Johnson is going to go. I

949
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: know some people connected to the program, so hopefully I

950
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: can get some good intel there. Also, keep in by Montana.

951
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: They've been very bad on the second game of back

952
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: to backs, like one in six. They a lot of

953
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: times I win the first game of these back to

954
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: backs and they'll lose the second. They've been one of

955
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: the worst teams as far as expected for forms in

956
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: the second game of the back to back and Iowa State.

957
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: I'll throw another team out there, Iowa State. They're still fighting,

958
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: still fighting. They fought Baylor. I know Baylor was coming

959
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: off COVID. They don't have a conference win yet. They

960
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: close out the season at home against TCU. I think

961
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: they win that game. I'll be looking at the owns there,

962
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Randaware you go. Next.

963
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 4: Last one I'm doing is Wafford at home, probably getting

964
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 4: a point or two against Furman. Wafford pounded Furman beat

965
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: him pretty convincingly, actually away seventy five sixty seven back

966
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 4: on February sixth. I've tracked Furman all the year. I

967
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 4: understand they shoot the three. I still think people are

968
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 4: thinking of a Furman team from past. They are not

969
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: killing teams against the spread. In fact, they're struggling eight

970
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: and twelve. Furman against the spread this year three and

971
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 4: eight on the road, and in their last ten day

972
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 4: are three and seven. So I think we picture Furman

973
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 4: being bombs away three pointer when they're hot, they cover

974
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 4: by fifteen or twenty.

975
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 5: That has not happened.

976
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 4: Here's Wafford at home, last game of the year, already

977
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 4: beat Furman by eight away. Now they're home and they're

978
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 4: going to be a slight underdog.

979
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 5: I like them a lot.

980
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 4: Give me the point or two, whatever it is. Wafford

981
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: matches up well with Furman, and Furman has not been

982
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: covering this year.

983
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: I actually have to disagree with the year Randall, and

984
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: I hate to do it, but but I'm in love

985
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: with this Furman team and it's burned me sometimes this year.

986
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: So take what I say with the great assault. But Furman,

987
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: look this game. If Iman wins, they win the regular

988
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: season title and and get the top seed to the

989
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: Southern Conference. If Wafford wins, they could if Greensborough loses

990
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: earlier in the day at Etsu, If Greensborough wins, beats

991
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: Etsu and then Urman loses, Greensboro would get it. Blah

992
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: blah blah. Basically, Furman does control their own destiny. But

993
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: in that game that Wafford went nuts in the final

994
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: ten minutes, I mean they were. They scored forty points

995
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: over the first thirty minutes, They were down by nine

996
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: with ten to go, and they went bonkers and won

997
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: that game. Also last year, Wafford knocked out Furman, a

998
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: much better Verman team in the conference tournament, which was

999
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: It was actually a pretty big upset. It was in

1000
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: their first game of the conference tournament, Firman lost to Wofford,

1001
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: So you're right, Wafford kind of has had Firman's number.

1002
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: But I think that this this Furman team has I mean,

1003
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: this is one of the This is a team that

1004
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: just has as much continuity as any body. It's a

1005
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: three in rim offense, they have multiple ball handlers. I

1006
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: think that they come out against Watford and get the win.

1007
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: But I could be wrong. I have way too much

1008
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I too much love for fermant as I have

1009
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: this year, Colin, what do you got?

1010
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1011
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 3: Last one for me is going to be a team

1012
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: that we have a futures portfolio on, a team that's

1013
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: going to be a short road favorite. That's Florida State

1014
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 3: against North Carolina. We just saw North Carolina show their

1015
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: ass against Marquette. These two teams played each other earlier

1016
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 3: in the season. Florida State won by seven, and they

1017
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 3: had a bad game. They shot forty seven percent from

1018
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 3: the paint, very.

1019
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: Much not like them. Where they dominate is defense in

1020
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 2: the paint, and that's what North Carolina likes to do.

1021
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 2: They're eleventh in the nation.

1022
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 3: And point distribution from the two point area, and that's

1023
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 3: what Florida State covers better than anybody in the country.

1024
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 3: I don't like what I saw from North Carolina. Florida

1025
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 3: State right now is hot and they are rolling through teams,

1026
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 3: and what Florida State does defensively should be able to

1027
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 3: shut down North Carolina. And when you did the box score,

1028
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 3: florist State had a bad game and still beat him

1029
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 3: by seven.

1030
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be all over the seminals.

1031
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: Well, what I have to, I'm gonna to disagree with

1032
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: both of you, for I have UNC circled here an

1033
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: absolutely pathetic effort, and a lot of it was just effort,

1034
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: just not switching defense. I mean against Marquette, it was

1035
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: sad they could find themselves on the bubble here shortly.

1036
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: And I think you get UNC's best effort. Roy Williams

1037
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: after a loss in his career has been tremendous against

1038
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: the spread. I think he's just since two thousand and

1039
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: five in our database, he's sixty six, forty five and

1040
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: three sixty percent against the spread. That's fifth best out

1041
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: of seven hundred and seventy five coaches covering by over

1042
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: two points per game. Usually good in these spots. I

1043
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: agree that Florida State's defense matches up well with UNC,

1044
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: but so does UNC has the size to match up

1045
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: with Florida State. Florida State, I love them, and I

1046
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: love their attorney potential, but I don't think they can

1047
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: keep shooting at this clip they're shooting, I think forty

1048
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: two percent in conference play from three. They're scoring one

1049
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: point three four points per possession on guarded jumpers. I mean,

1050
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: that's insane. The second best in the country is one

1051
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 1: point twenty four. So I think that there's some regression

1052
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: coming here. UNC. Maybe they can hit some jumpers. They're

1053
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: not a really good shoot you, but I think you

1054
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: get the very best effort here. Florida State has been

1055
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: a little vulnerable on the road at times this year.

1056
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: They're just so good at home, even without fans. Are

1057
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: still good at home this year. So I might be

1058
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: on the heels here. But let me let me finish

1059
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: it up. Little of Maryland, Miami, Kansas State, Iowa State,

1060
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: Xavier Furman UNC. So I hate to disagree with my

1061
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: boys in the final two, but that's why we love

1062
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: doing Let's give you both sides of the coin sometimes,

1063
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: all right, Before we get out of here, there are

1064
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: a couple of conference tournaments that start early next week.

1065
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: We have the A Ten, The Atlantic Sun, The Atlantic

1066
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: Sun by way Beller mean, who's not eligible for the

1067
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, but they will they can play in the

1068
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: conference tournament. Theyn't play Liberty at noon in Freedom Hall,

1069
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: their home court at noon on espn U. I think

1070
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: for the regular season championship in their first year, it's crazy.

1071
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: I think they were a pick to finish last. The

1072
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: Ohio Valley, Missouri Valley, West Coast Conference, I mean West Coast.

1073
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: It's like Knzaga is gonna win it. Who cares they get?

1074
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: You get like a plush it in the West Coast,

1075
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: you get like a quadruple by to the Semis if

1076
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: you're the one seed. So I don't really care about

1077
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: the West Coast. Maybe you have a hot take there.

1078
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: Missouri Valley. It's gonna be hard for me to make

1079
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: a case for anyone other than Loyola after Drake has

1080
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: lost pen and Hepbell. The Ohio Valley is intriguing to me.

1081
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: The Atlantic Sun, the Atlantic Ten. You know, I'm probably

1082
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: going to be on Saint Louis, where I'm targeting at

1083
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: all the piece two pieces, one for next week, one

1084
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: the week there after. All my conforit tournament features that

1085
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: I've played, but the Ohio Valley look. Belmont is obviously

1086
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: the class of the conference. But Eastern Illinois is going

1087
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: to be a really intriguing number because they're finally healthy. Now.

1088
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if this team's winning as like fifteen point

1089
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: underdogs and ten they have all their piece spect they're

1090
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: so undervalued in the market. They might have to play

1091
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: Belmont very early in the tournament, but you're probably gonna

1092
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: play Belmont at some point anyway. Austin p is Jordan

1093
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: Adams healthy, but they have Terry Taylor. They gave Belmont

1094
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: a game earlier this year. Those are the two teams

1095
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: that interest me. Rand Any thoughts on any of these

1096
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: conference storms that start next week prior to Friday? So,

1097
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: as I said before, on Thursdays we record Thursday's podcast.

1098
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: Next week, we'll cover all the conference storms that start

1099
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: next weekend in early the week thereafter. What are you

1100
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: seeing in any one of or multiple of these conferences.

1101
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, just to go around the horn the a SUN.

1102
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 4: I just watched Liberty pound Northern Alabama twice. I mean,

1103
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 4: they look really good. If you're looking for a team

1104
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: to knock them off, I'm with you, it's Bellermine. Because

1105
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: we haven't seen them against Liberty. I mean you're gonna

1106
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 4: get a great number on them because it's the first

1107
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 4: year in D one. They won ten games in a row,

1108
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 4: they got a road sweep of Florida Gulf Coast. They

1109
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 4: played libscom tough at home in home games, both games

1110
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 4: early in January. So they're the number Pedro Bradshaw there.

1111
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 4: Fifteen points per game, seven point three rebounds, a guard

1112
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 4: that rebounds, so who knows. We haven't seen them play yet,

1113
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 4: but if you're looking for a long shot, that's fine.

1114
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 4: Ohio Valley, I'm with you. Morehead State plays real solid defense.

1115
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 4: I know people have been struggle to buy in a

1116
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 4: Morehead State, but they do have a style there that

1117
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 4: can go against Belmont. If someone's going to go against them,

1118
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to take a defensive team.

1119
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 5: Also.

1120
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 4: Jacksonville State, guys, I see it out there, maybe around

1121
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: plus eighteen hundred less time less team that won it

1122
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 4: in twenty seventeen. Other than like a Murray or a Belmont,

1123
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: and Hoffman is the key inside he can be a

1124
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 4: game changer.

1125
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 5: He was out for a couple of games. He's back

1126
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 5: and playing well.

1127
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 4: And I'm with you Stockholm, Missouri Valley, I mean, it's

1128
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 4: gotta be Loyola.

1129
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 5: They're going to roll. And that's a team of course

1130
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 5: that is super dangerous once again in the tournament.

1131
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: The problem with Jacksonville State, I agree they have given

1132
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: Belmont problems at times in the pass they just played

1133
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: him really close. But Beamont was like two of thirty

1134
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 1: from three morehead. You have to love Burhm the freshman inside.

1135
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: He's a hell of a player. I'll have my OVC

1136
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: right up. But some of these are probably going to

1137
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: be chalky. By the way, if Bella Mean wins it

1138
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: wins the conference tournament, then Liberty will go to the

1139
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: tournament because they'll get the auto bid. Or if North Alabama,

1140
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: North Alabama's not eligible yet for the NCAA tournament, E

1141
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: they're really stupid. They can like the transitioning so it's

1142
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: not eligible for the NCAA tournament. Yeah, but we'll have

1143
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: lots of content on all the conference tournaments, previews for

1144
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: each one. Maybe we'll do a little one off podcast episodes.

1145
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: We'll see regardless next week we'll cover all of the

1146
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: conference sornaments that start after next Friday more in depth.

1147
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,480
