00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: The Big Bets on Campus Podcast Podcast PODCA. All right,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: here we go spreading the corn ten seconds of aynings.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: It's gonna just go show me up to the basket.

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: Under the basket.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: It's the cruit for the wind God.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 4: A miracle. I chuck the water hit that one from

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 4: the parking lot.

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast cerded by

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: bet MGM. I'm Matthew Michael Cox, one third of the

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: three minle Weave. We are joined by Jim Roodon, Kai

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: mckeirn per usual. Back in our usual Cane's here to

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: breakdown Wednesday, Thursday and weekend slate upcoming. As we are

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: in the heart of the dog days of conference play,

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: it seems like standard show slate will apply.

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 4: H Fellas.

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Let's get into it first off, as you're not familiar

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: with the program, where I'll start with the live dog

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: of the week, going to break down some potential money

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: line specials from the Wednesday and Thursdays slates do us

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: every week. Let's recap how we did last week, and

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: let's do it quickly because there's nothing to write home about.

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: TCU and Pitt Blue Tragic leads in the second half,

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: destroying our any chance in a money Line special hit there,

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: and I think we had a few other ads fellows

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: that did not go as planned. But it's a new week,

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: a new dawn, a new day. Let's get to it.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: Where is Mine? Where is Mine? I highlighted my what

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I would call five favorite, six favorite that looked like potential,

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, good value moneyline plays, dogs in good spots,

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, catching favorites that a little bit vulnerable at

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: this point, Let's start with Wednesday. First, a showdown in Virginia,

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Miss McCann. The Who's are hosting their in state Brethren Hokies,

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: who are losers of four straight right now without Hunter

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: could toward the line up. Mike Young's Hokies are kind

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: of reeling, but hey for Genie and no Juggernaut themselves

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: one four against the number in their last five games.

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: You think the Hokies can go in to John Paul Jones,

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: Arreen and pull this one off.

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: I sure to be Matthew. I think the Hokies are

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 3: going to be very desperate. You're get to win here.

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Obviously not a great start in the acc play. I

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: think that's maybe due to Katour's absence. So I'm thinking

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: that Virginia Tech Hokies can pull a little magic here

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: take down the Who's outright. They've lost five straight in

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: the ACC. They need this win like blood if they're

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: to stay in the at large conversation in the ACC conversation.

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: So I think they can hang around seven. Certainly, moneyline,

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: I'm sprinkling.

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, These games are historically very very close, almost no

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: man of the spread, but especially when both teams are

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 2: very competent as they are this year. Katuur is expected

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: to be back tentatively. This is we're recording this on Tuesday,

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: tentatively expected to be back on Wednesday. That's no guarantee,

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: but they are a completely different team with them in there,

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: arguably their best perimeter defender, the shooter that they run

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: off all their intri kit off ball at. This team

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: actually has some some serious undervalue to them right now.

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: So Matt, I think there's gonna be a worthwhile split

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: your bet on spread because I think seven is gonna

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: be too high, and then also a little bit of

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: moneyline because there's can be a lot of three is

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 2: going up on that Hoky side and if they get hot,

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: watch out.

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're really to make shots as Mike Young says,

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: we got guys that can flat out ring the bell,

66
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: but obviously without mister huncatur and there, that's one of

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: their key snipers. I'd have to know he's in and

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: healthy to feel confident there. Let's hit two more mid

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: major potential money line specials on Wednesday. The first is

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: UNBC at UMass Loll the Retrievers going on the road

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to USSOL. Who is a non conference mini juggernaut, I

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: would say, but jim are in the midst of some regression,

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: as they are one and four against the number in

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: their last five games. However, they did smoke Vermont, so

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I kind of think this is a team maybe that

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: just rises to the occasion and certainly when u NBC

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: comes to town, that'll be one of the top dogs

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: in this league and you could maybe see a potential

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: repeat of that. Or are you still betting on the

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: regression monster that's been gobbling up the roles lately.

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm betting more towards the regression monster. They smoked Vermont,

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: but they still lost outright at Binghamton, got blown out

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: at Albany. Those are two teams outside the top three

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: hundred and Ken Palm like they just don't have the

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: same juice that they had the knock on. They played

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: a terrible schedule and now they're actually playing teams that

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: are familiar with them. It's a lot of the same

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: cast of characters as last year. I think they're going

89
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: to see a lot more even games, and NBC has

90
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: some real offensive upside. They've looked really, really sharp. Been

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: impressed with them so far this year Jim Faery's bunch.

92
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: Honestly that the Vermont blowout raised an eyebrow for me,

93
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: but it was a huge game from Alan Blunt, who

94
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: returned from injury got kind of inordinately hot from the perimeter.

95
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: I think the NBC has got a great shot to

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: upset them here, kay I do too.

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm just done with will in general. I was on

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: Vermont against them Sandwich between of course that being into

99
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: and the Albany loss, so I just can't time this

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: team didn't do well against them in non conference play,

101
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: but they haven't totally ordinary since then. Their ATS records

102
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 3: are normal like you'd expect. They're not a juggernaut anymore.

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: From that perspective, I'll probably set this one out. The

104
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: spread might be a bit low frankly from where I

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: have these two teams rated. But I totally believe NBC

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: can pull the one. You're Matt, I'm just staying away.

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just based on the implied line of

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: five going off Kempom, I'm sure it'll be I'm guessing

109
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: it'll be a little bit lower, but it won't be

110
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: a huge upside in this money line play. But if

111
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: you think these two teams are basically near equals, don't

112
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: believe in some massive home court edge for what I

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: can certainly see some value taking plus one fifty or

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: plus one sixty potentially on the money line. There last

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: one I wrote down for Wednesday, mister mcke and Missouri

116
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: State heading on the road to Drake.

117
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: This is a rematch, and we're.

118
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Gonna get a lot of these rematches as we go

119
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: through the later chapters of our Best Bets on Campus program.

120
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: Got to look at that first game and see what happened.

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: I think that usually can tell some of the story,

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: or it can make absolutely no sense whatsoever. That's just

123
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: kind of the rhyme and reason of college basketball. Missouri

124
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: already Drake and homeless season. Kempom thinks they'll be catching

125
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: close to seven on the road into Moine. Do you

126
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: think he Do you think they have the juice to

127
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: pull off the season sweep of the Bulldogs.

128
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: No, I don't think. I think it's Drake's game. Yeah,

129
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: Missouri State much better at home. They're five and two

130
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: against the spread at home with a plus two cover margin.

131
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: On the road they actually are over five hundred. But

132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: it's a different team in my opinion, and certainly an

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 3: angry Drake team that frankly just missed shots. They had

134
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: so many opportunities, and that first came to win, they

135
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: blew it. It was like fifty two to forty nine.

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to back Missouri State here tomorrow.

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Drake did the same thing last year at Missouri State,

138
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: couldn't make a single jump shot and ended up listening

139
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: to them. Got them the other time. Actually, no excuse me.

140
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: They got swept in the regular season last time, beat

141
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: them in the conference tournament tournaments. Right now, I think

142
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: Drake gets them back here. I'm just not super high

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: on this Missouri State team. They can swarm me defensively,

144
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: but in at Drake, I think they get their their

145
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: retribution on him at.

146
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's ugly, but I don't trust MISSOURIUS

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: to actually pull off a second straight regular season sweep

148
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: of this straight team that's veteran Leyden and fairly accomplished.

149
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: They got some gids who've been around the block. Or

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: two a quick scan toward Thursday, there's three that jumped

151
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: out potential money line specials. Kai any of these three

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: pop to you, and I only chose one as a

153
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: teaser from my ultimate pick here. The first though, Georgia

154
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: State at Old Dominion. The Panthers got white hot from

155
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: three last weekend after posting like historically bad shooting numbers,

156
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: so all of the regression came in one fell swoop

157
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I wonder if that continues or is

158
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: that anomaly that go on the road to ODU probably

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: catching close to six.

160
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: We have Rice going to North Texas. The Mean Green

161
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: have been awesome.

162
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: The Rice has been those slaps themselves, and you look

163
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: at the Kempom line of twelve. You could be catching

164
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: three to one here on the money line, but perhaps

165
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: higher depending on where that opens up. So I think

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: there's some value and a very prolific shot making team

167
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: offense and Rice and then my favorite, the Bunch is

168
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: William and Mary and Mary go down the Road to Delaware.

169
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Kampom has this at eight, and I think it probably

170
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: opened closer to seven or six in the betting markets

171
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: because Delawre has been betting, has been bet against because

172
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: of the injuries they've dealt with. I think Bill and

173
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Marry may be a popular dog here, but I still

174
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: think they get the job done. That's my pick, Jim.

175
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Any of these three jump out to you for Thursday.

176
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm taking Georgia State. I've been like lying in the

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: weeds waiting for them to show some semblance of offensive

178
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 2: competence because I think Jonas Hayes is a good coach,

179
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: and down Odom came off the bench. I don't know

180
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: if rejiggering the lineup kind of set them up better,

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: but just the fact that they made shots, I think

182
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: people build confidence for them. They were truly one of

183
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: the worst three point shooting teams in the country, maybe

184
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: the worst before that total explosion last game. I think

185
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: they can get old to the minion here. Oh do

186
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: you pretty solid talent roster. I like the pieces they

187
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: brought in via the portal, but I don't perceive them

188
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: as a great favorite in Georgia State. Like I said,

189
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: I think is really rising up that that would be

190
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: my pick here. I think North Texas smokes Rice. Unfortunately, Jim,

191
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: I agree.

192
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: North Texas won by thirty three, twenty three, and eighteen

193
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: last year against Rice. They have their number and Rice

194
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: just survived an overtime game with UTSA. They are a

195
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 3: tough team to really trust. I understand that makes some

196
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: kind of an attractive variants play, but not against North Texas.

197
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: I like Bill and Mary personally. They impressed me by

198
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: beating you and C. Wilmington out right. That shocked me.

199
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: And if Jamie Nelson is still out for Delaware, they

200
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: can frankly beaten by anybody. You just have to lose

201
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: Northeastern after getting up pretty big in that game. So

202
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 3: Bill Mryn get done and there'll be a decent sized

203
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: dog as well. Georgia State. They'll play for me on

204
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: that one.

205
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Matt, Yeah, will may already beat Richmond this year too.

206
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: It's basically a fringe top one hundred team in Campound.

207
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: They can certainly knock off Delaware and it's not going

208
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: to be a pretty tough travel spot there. So yeah,

209
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: that's my only pick of the of the Moneyline Special segment.

210
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Jim Kai quick recap of your endorsements for listeners.

211
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: I'm getting greedy, Matt. I'm going with four here, four

212
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 2: with the U NBC Georgia State, Virginia tach taking a

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: swing on all of them them also starting Stephen F.

214
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: Austin on the road at Sam Houston on Thursday, getting

215
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: eight points there. I think SFA is really undervalued right

216
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: now because they were just wrecked by injuries. There were

217
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: points this year where they had seven healthy scholarship players,

218
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: but basically everybody is back now. They've got size, they've

219
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: got depth, better guard play. I think between Sam Houston

220
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: and SFA, you've got a lot of familiarity, going back

221
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: to the south Land days. They've played each other a

222
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: year after year after year. I think that leads to

223
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: a close game. So I'm gonna split my bet here.

224
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: Take some plus eight, well, if that's what it is.

225
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: Maybe it'll be a little low because they're healthier, but

226
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: I'll take plus seven if that's the case, and then

227
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of money line because I think it's

228
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: just gonna be kind of a grueling rock fight between

229
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: two very familiar foes.

230
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: I dig that angle.

231
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: Jim the boy Sam Houston.

232
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: Good those bearcasts, they got the juice. I was also

233
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: on ss BIG in Southern Utah. They've blew a lead,

234
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: ended up not covering. I wasn't thrilled with them, So

235
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: I'm just sticking with Bill and Mary Matthew in Virginia

236
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: Tech against Virginia and.

237
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm just taking half of a kai sportfolio with Bill

238
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and Mary. So put all my eggs in the tribe basket.

239
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Let's go Dane Fisher in company. Let's get it done.

240
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: All right, we move on to section number two of

241
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: this presentation. It's gonna be a quick one because at

242
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: this point in the conference season, there are not many

243
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: rye pickings for what we call blowout city, looking for

244
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: ripe opportunities to bet teams at large numbers fire.

245
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: But man, the one I.

246
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Saw that popped out as I hit fan match and

247
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: strolled to the bottom of Kempom's throll score page. There

248
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: was Old Hartford sitting there going on the road to

249
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: Morgan State as an independent, not a conference game because

250
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: they are not in a conference this year. Jim Kempom

251
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: has this at minus seventeen. Morgan State is laying seventeen

252
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: points to a D one basketball team, and that is Harford.

253
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: But Harford has been an absolute calamity as we all predicted.

254
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I guess the question is how low can Harford go?

255
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: They can continue to go lower. It appears they like

256
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: all they're doing right now is playing teams who are

257
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: mid league play and this game shouldn't matter at all

258
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: to them, And half the time they've got familiarity their

259
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: teams they've played in the non con and they're still

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: getting pasted. Whilst by twenty five UNBC didn't cover against

261
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: Sint Francis or Sacred Heart didn't get killed in those,

262
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: but they did already play Morgan State to a seven

263
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: point deficit. But I just don't buy this offensive system

264
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: at all. Hartford lacks talent. Key piece Jared Kimbro has

265
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: been out miss last game, easily their best front court player.

266
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: You take that away, and they just go further and

267
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: further into the lack of Division one depth that they have.

268
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't love it because Morgan State could sleepwalk through it.

269
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: But just fading Hartford. I think they're five and eleven

270
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: against the spread this year. Why not getting against that squad?

271
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that first game was weird. That match up Morgan

272
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: State got up fifteen to two on Hartford and then

273
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: they let up like a twenty to nine run.

274
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: It was bizarre.

275
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: Harford hung around. It was at their place. Certainly not

276
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: a lot of home games a team, so maybe a

277
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: little bit of extra juice there. I think Morgan State's

278
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: really good. And then then on Coom they took will

279
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 3: and Airmount overtime. They had some pretty good showings against

280
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: some much better competition and they're rolling in the MIAC

281
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: right now. Impressive win over North Carolina Central, impressive blowout

282
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: of Compen State in their last game. I think Morgan

283
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: can cover this game against Harford.

284
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a terrible spot because they have to go

285
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: to Howard this next weekend, which is gonna be a

286
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: big game for them as they try and solidify their

287
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: their meek top of the total poll presence. But yeah,

288
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean Hartford's Harford, and you guys kind of.

289
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 4: Spelled it out.

290
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: It's just there's basically two one and a half I

291
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: would say, two D one players on this roster and

292
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: Kim Rose out. That leaves basically Brigs McLain and a

293
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: bunch of nobodies. Sorry to put disrespect there, but just

294
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: got to call it what it is, But that concludes

295
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120

00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: Now we're going to break down the power game games

329
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: of the week. Oh, I could feel we had a

330
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: three trifecta picked out for Wednesday. We're gonna be homersh

331
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: for you two. As missoua alumnus is it's not a

332
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: word missoo alumni. You will be hosting pig Cuy Arkansas

333
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: on Wednesday in a little rematch from a very competitive

334
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: value you guys put up at bud Walden Arena. I

335
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: know that Arkansas has fallen, not really falling off, It's

336
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: certainly had some turbulence the last couple of weeks, and

337
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: that may not look as impressive as a performance as

338
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: I think it did at the time, but I still

339
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: came away very impressive.

340
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: Miszoozevill.

341
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Let's go into a hostile environment and play well. Now

342
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: do they get revent back on home ice, Jim at Missouria?

343
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: They sure do. I actually really liked this spot for

344
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: the Tigers. Arkansas has struggled mightily on the road. They

345
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: struggled mightily against zones. This is going to be a

346
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: Rockets atmosphere and missou will zone. They're going to throw

347
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: it at him. They're gonna mix it up. They did

348
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: a lot in the first game. Unfortunately, Arkansas just hit

349
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: a ton of mid range shots down the stretch. Devo

350
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: Davis Ricky Council got into that twelve to eighteen foot

351
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: area and couldn't miss Frankly during the second half, but

352
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: I thought the plan was good out of Miszoo first

353
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: half really slowed him down, kept them out of transition.

354
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: If Arkansas can't get to the rim, they really struggle

355
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: to score, and they prefer to get to the room

356
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: and transition. I think Wazoo's going to do a good

357
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: job of packing it in, taking lessons away from that

358
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: first game, and if the line is right around pick,

359
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: all you gotta do is select the winner here Kai,

360
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: I like the Tigers getting right, getting right at home.

361
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Jambel Lanker Tigers to game one up twenty five to eight.

362
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: They're up fifteen towards in the first half, and Arkansas

363
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: came back a bit also Frankly, and not to complain

364
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: too much, but the rough thing was pretty top down

365
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: in Arkansas. The Hogs got to the line probably a

366
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: little bit more when they should. Ricky Council certainly hit

367
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: a ton of mid range jumpers that he's capable of hitting,

368
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: but still maybe not the one that's sustainable over along

369
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: sample size. And this is a get right game from

370
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 3: the Zoo, right. They just lost twice in a row

371
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 3: on the road to a and m in Florida. They

372
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: shot ten for forty eight from three combined in those

373
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: two games. Or they're gonna swing back up here is

374
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: going to be a crazy home crowd. I'm going to

375
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: be in attendance. So that's worth like six or seven.

376
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: Points hosts factor that didn't get that in the handicap.

377
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: After that, and it's gonna be an awesome environment. I

378
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: can't wait, Matt, I do like the Tigers here.

379
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, this Arkansas thing is starting to unravel, Like you

380
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: watch that Vanderbilt loss. First of all, giving up ninety

381
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: seven points to Vanderbilt was not a good omen.

382
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: But then just the.

383
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Kind of petty there's a ton of techs, whiny, chippy.

384
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: It felt very you know we've seen also gonna do

385
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: this before. Right, you know he's got If he's your guy,

386
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: you love him. If he's not, it's certainly easy to

387
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: hate him, and it was easy to see why he

388
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: can be a good villain for opposing SEC programs. I

389
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: think it just feels like a scene that's starting to

390
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of fall apart with two key pieces stripped from

391
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: their moorings that are with with Nick Smith and Trevon Brazil.

392
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, That's why I think it's different, Matt, because

393
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: you go two years back early January. They lost four

394
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: out of five. Last year from mid December to early January,

395
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: they lost five out of six. This year, they've lost

396
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: four out of five. But I think it's different because

397
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: of the personnel limitations. If you told me Nick Smith

398
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: was back tomorrow, I'd say, you know what, They're going

399
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: to be just fine. But I still have some concerns

400
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: because you take out that lottery talent, and you take

401
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: out their most versatile big and their total lack of

402
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: three point shooting. Yeah, it could be an issue.

403
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Even Anthony Blacksman a little bit of redact the

404
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: last couple of games. It just hasn't doesn't have a

405
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: lot of help around him. We're going to Big twelve

406
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Country for Bedlam, miss for m Key, and Oklahoma stayed

407
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: hosting Oklahoma for our second of the three Power Game

408
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: features on Wednesday. I just I see you're ugly, and

409
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I raise you uglier is kind of what.

410
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: I feel like.

411
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: This game turns into the key thing here. Personneliz is

412
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: does Mus's Sisa return for Oklahoma State and how effective

413
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: is he? Just an absolute pivotal piece on both ends

414
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: for this for this Oklahoma State team defensively, they need

415
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: him upfront. Offensively, man, they really get stuck in the mud.

416
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma just simply out executes them here. What

417
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: are you looking at?

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay State's one three to the last four in

419
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 3: this matchup, they tend to have I guess Oklahoma's numbers,

420
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: so to speak. But without MOS's SISA in the lineup,

421
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 3: if you don't know his status, I think it's hard

422
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: to back Oklahoma State, despite them being pretty competitive for

423
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: a while against Texas against Kansas State without him, didn't

424
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: do very well against Baylor. I don't trust them to

425
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: win games, especially against a well coached team like Oklahoma,

426
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: especially one with a guy in Tanner Groves who can

427
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: certainly take advantage of Oklahoma State inside and from the perimeter.

428
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 3: I can't back Oklahoma State without knowing a status Jim.

429
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. The weird thing. I almost think lack of Hesa

430
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: has hurt them more offensively, even though he is a

431
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: totally dominant big in Big Twelve play. They're still leading

432
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: the entire conference in two point percentage defense, but they're

433
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: also dead last and two point percentage offense. They don't

434
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: have his vertical spacing where they're just kind of you know,

435
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: he's rolling down the lane like a freight train on

436
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: a pick and roll and they can just toss it

437
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 2: up and get a free dunk or dump it off

438
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: to him in that dunker spot and get a free

439
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: lay up or dunk. They've really lost a route to

440
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: easy offense that way. And without that against a well

441
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: coached Oklahoma team that's going to go under every ball

442
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: screen force you to shoot over the top, I don't

443
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: like that matchup for the way this Oklahoma State team

444
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: is made up that so I would lean towards Boomers

445
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: on the road, and I think that's going to be

446
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: the way this one trends.

447
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Without Yeah, I we'll see what that line opened. I

448
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: bet it's close to pick. I think kem Homme's got

449
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: it las to Oclomba State, but I bet it turns

450
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: closer to pick him, just given I think the general

451
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: sentiment in the market surrounding Clomba State without CC. But again,

452
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: he returns that kind of you know, changes the script there.

453
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: And he has like been dressed for three straight.

454
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: Games, right he's close to returning and gone.

455
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Through warm ups, and he returned from his injury in

456
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: the game he suffered it, so it always seemed like

457
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: he was close to coming back. But he dressesn't it,

458
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: just like stands under the basket during warm ups, So

459
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: you should know early if he's going to play all right.

460
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: Last one definitely the best game on the Wednesday slate,

461
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Marquette hosting Providence. Everyone remembers, well, if your diehard fan,

462
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: you remember the instant classic first meeting between these two

463
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: this year, double ot thriller at the venue formerly known

464
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: as the Dunk. Now it comes back to the Midwest,

465
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, where Marquette has been invincible, although it'd been

466
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: pretty damn near invincible everywhere they've been this season. At

467
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: some point, Marquette's going to be overvalued in my opinion,

468
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: And I think this is actually a good spot Jim

469
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: to do the play Shaka as a dog, except you

470
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: play coolly as a dog against Shaka on the road.

471
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: So I know Providence won that first game at Providence.

472
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: I actually think they can pete here again on the road.

473
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are two of the best five underdog coaches

474
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: in the entire country by splits, like now you have

475
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: only one of them can be an underdog that's it.

476
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: That's the way the line works, and it's going to

477
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: be coolly on the road. They did get that a huge, huge,

478
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: wat despite Tyler Kollach had like a personal nine zero

479
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: run in overtime there to get them close. Maybe it's

480
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: a nine to two run. Interestingly though, last year the

481
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: one the meeting at Providence was really close, sixty five

482
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: sixty three Providence win. What do you know they want

483
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: a close game? The one a Marquette was a thirty

484
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: point blowout. That was the one that like ripped down

485
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: Providence in all the analytical rankings where lose by thirty

486
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: and then win their next games by twenty points combined

487
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: and kind of what started the whole luck based and

488
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: devalued them analytically. I think Market's capable of doing that.

489
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: The top five Big East teams have all been awesome

490
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: at home against other top five Big East teams. You

491
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: covers Creighton, Creighton's Heldzer at home, Marquette, Savior, Providence have

492
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: all held serve at home against the bigger teams. I

493
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: think Marquette holds Servant home again here, but depending where

494
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: the number is, mister Cooley is known for sneaking inside

495
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: that number Kai just like he did at Creighton.

496
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did that without Jared Binham, but I think

497
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: that is a huge piece of his handicap. You have

498
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: to know Jared Bidam's in Providence without him is going

499
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: to very much struggle against Marquette's pressure. In that first matchup,

500
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: they turned the ball over. Providence grab offensive rebounds though,

501
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: and that's their advantage to against Marquette on the other end.

502
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: Some fun little factoids to your Providence right now in

503
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: Big East play, the worst ball handling team in the conference,

504
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: Marquette number one in turn of rate in conference play.

505
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: On the flip side of that same end, Providence the

506
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: best offensive rebounding team, Marquette the worst defensive rebounding team,

507
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: So certainly advantages on both ends on that side. On

508
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: the other side, you have the best offense in Marquette

509
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 3: in Big East play going against the best defense in

510
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 3: Providence in Big East Play. It certainly is kind of

511
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: an interesting force versus force. But without Bynum, I think

512
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: it's Marquette's game. Even with him in the lineup, Matt

513
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: I still swore leaning towards Marquette here. I love this squad.

514
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 4: It's a great squad.

515
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, We've been talking about the in height mismatches they've

516
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: been dealing with if they overcome and basically every game

517
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: they probably should have covered at Xavier, uh just two

518
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: free throws sunk them late there. On Sunday. There's actually

519
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot of good games on Thursday. I apologize for

520
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: not getting to those, but we're going to focus on

521
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: mid major for our Thursday breakdown as we pivot to

522
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: our mid major game.

523
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: Of the week.

524
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: Got two picked out for us. We're going to a

525
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: sun country for our first one. That's Kennesaw at Stetson,

526
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: who's been a sneaky bottle rocket the last few weeks

527
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: in this league, and Kenna Saw has been awesome pretty

528
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: much start to finish all year. I think we thought

529
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: they would be good. They're mega talented, Jim. Battle for

530
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: first place here Stetson probably the land close to a

531
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: field goal sets and hosting Kannessa at Stetson down there

532
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: in Dylan, Florida, Delan Dylan, how.

533
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: Do you say it?

534
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: The e l a En I think DeLand land in

535
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: the land, Jim, what do you like here?

536
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 2: The land of the Hatters one of the hat I've

537
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 2: been much higher on Kennesaw basically since I started evaluating

538
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 2: teams in the offseason, like between these two, but Stetson

539
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: just gets better and better. They do not miss threes,

540
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: fifteenth in the country in three point percentage. Their whole

541
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: game is turn this into a half court grind and

542
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: then will outshoot you, and they've done that repeatedly with

543
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: much success. Kyler about as lopsided as a team as

544
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: you'll find in the country in terms of a fifty

545
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: second ranked offense three hundred and twenty second ranked defense.

546
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: It's projected to be a slow game, but the efficiency

547
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: is going to be off the charts. Kennasaw's offense is

548
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: all about driving dish, getting the gaps, kick out the three,

549
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: shoot over the top. Stetson actually takes away the three

550
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: point line pretty well, So I actually think Stetson has

551
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: the better matchup angle with this one. And just the

552
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: way they're trending, man, the way they've been playing, I've

553
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: been so impressed. And Kennesaw it's going to be a

554
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: tough task on the road.

555
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: It's been a shocking season for Stetson. They were expected

556
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: to be a bottom four A Sun team and right

557
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: now they're competing for the top spot. Kenness, on the

558
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: other hand, more or less expected. They probably still have

559
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: exceeded in expectations, but more less so than Stetson's meteoric rise.

560
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, these two teams are right next to each

561
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: other right now in kim Palm one seventy six and

562
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: one seventy seven. I think the difference here is those

563
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: Stetson has started so hot. I mean, I don't know

564
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: if their three point percentage is sustainable forty one percent

565
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: in conference play, and they're also the best ball handling

566
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: team in conference play. That's really taking them towards the top.

567
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: If they have an off night, they're kind of screwed

568
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: because their defense is very bad, Whereas Kennesaw is pretty

569
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: solid on both ends of the floor. They're not really

570
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: going to make mistakes on either end. They're gonna be

571
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 3: rock solid. So I actually towards Kansas State here. I

572
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: think you saw the cracks with Stetson in their last

573
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: game against EKU. They got blown out by a very

574
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: good Colonel's team. I think they could lose this game

575
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 3: as well of Kinnisaws. So I lean towards the Owl's here.

576
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: Matt, I like the LS a lot. I'm with you.

577
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: I think the three point shooting is much more sustainable

578
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: and Kennis, I think they actually have legiti shooters. I

579
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: think Stetson has a couple with with Pon, Zoe and Brown.

580
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy the others who have

581
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: made shots at the rates that they have and even

582
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: had Luke Brown shooting fifty two percent. I mean, I

583
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: know he's a good cheater, but he's not going to

584
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: shoot fifty percent the rest of the year, So I'm

585
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: with you. I ha think him a little bit of

586
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: regression coming for the hatters have about Luke.

587
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: Brown sixty conference play. He was a thirty percent shooter

588
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: last year at ball State.

589
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: He is a very good cheater.

590
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: I remember Ball State fans were clamoring for his debut

591
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: as a semi highly titled recruit in the enda.

592
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: But again, I don't think even Steph Curry would shoot

593
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 4: fifty two percent for a whole year.

594
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: From behind the arc. A big showdown here in Colonial Country.

595
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: My second mid major spotlight game on Thursday, Jim not

596
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: going to be at Trask Arena where you unc. Wilmington

597
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: has kind of carved out their own Niche is one

598
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: of the best home court home teams in college hoops.

599
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: They go on the road to New York and to Hofstra,

600
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: who's been awesome since they got rones Strada back. This

601
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: is for a battle for second place, as Charleston still

602
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: has the mantle top the CA leader board, but still

603
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot to play for it. Here should be a

604
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: fun one other game that Kempum has pegged as a

605
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: minus three basically a coin flip on a neutral but

606
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: the minus street from home.

607
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: What are you looking at?

608
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 2: Well? Hostro was awesome until Monday, Martin Luther king Day.

609
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: They got smacked by tousand, put forty seven points on

610
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: sixty three possessions, lost by twenty one. That was the

611
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: kind of like eyebrow Raiser, like, what's wrong with Hostra?

612
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: What happened here? To me, it feels a little more

613
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: like an outlier performance is digging into the numbers. I

614
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to shoot for twenty seven from

615
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: three in another game. I just don't see that happening.

616
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: That team is far too potent for me on the

617
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: arc to do that sort of thing once again. And

618
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: Wilmington they got right on Monday, suffocated Elon to the

619
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: tune of a eight point win, but they were big

620
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: favorites in that game didn't actually play that well, just

621
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: had a strong defensive showing. I think Hostra actually takes

622
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: this one. Kay. I'm not willing to bet against Wilmington

623
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: yet because man, they've been almost invincible against the spread

624
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: the last two years, but taking them out of Trask

625
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: I think is rather important. That home court's been like

626
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: super super strong the last two years, and Hafstra again,

627
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: I think they're going to shoot the ball a lot

628
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: better than they did on Monday.

629
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes, strange couple of games for Wilmington after the Charleston effort,

630
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: which they came back and covered barely lost that game,

631
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: losing outright at home to William and Mary, and then

632
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: not putting away Elon concerning but I still believe this

633
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: team is very good, and all I see right here

634
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: is UNC Wilmington as a dog in conference play. I

635
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: lean towards the seat aux in that scenario pretty much

636
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: every single time, I'll probably be on them. But I

637
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: admit that Hafstra is very very good, and I don't

638
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: really like that they're off a major loss house and

639
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: definitely some energy in this game for them, some high

640
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: motivation to get right.

641
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: I like the spot better for Holstra, they have a

642
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: week off after this game, where this will be the

643
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: third of a four game in four and seven game

644
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: stretch for UNC Willington. I think those tend to take

645
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: a toll as you get deeper in a conference play,

646
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: So somebody keep an.

647
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: Eye on maybe as deep as this year Hawks.

648
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, I worry that might be losing a little

649
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: bit of juice and our not so favorite section. Up next,

650
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: the trash man pick of the week.

651
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: The trash man pick of the week. I'm the trash man.

652
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 4: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it.

653
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: Totally unreliable, undependable. That's it. You've been told off.

654
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: How do you like that?

655
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 4: Good again? Conference play?

656
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Not a ton to pick out for this batch, but

657
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: Northeastern or Stony Broke jumped to me, and I chose

658
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: it not because I think both teams are terrible. I

659
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: just think both teams are weirdly tough to figure out,

660
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: but also could be terrible. I don't know if there's

661
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: one game I will not bet on more if that

662
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: makes any sense, than this game. Jim, do you have

663
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: any read whatsoever, because I certainly do not.

664
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Well, they're both like always terrible for a stretch. In

665
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: every game they play, Northeastern will get down ten in

666
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: every game. Sometimes they'll fight back, sometimes they won't. Yesterday

667
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: on Monday, they did fight back and got a huge

668
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: win over Delaware, which was rather surprising even with the

669
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: blue Heads short handed. But man, Stonybrook will do the

670
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: same thing. They've been shorthanded all season. Dean Knowle has

671
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: been out for the entire year, had issues with Aaron

672
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: Clark in and out of the lineup again. Yeah, like

673
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: Matt said, because of some of the absences, because of

674
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: the in game erraticism. Whether erraticism is a word or not,

675
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: it's debatable. I like to use it. Sounds like the

676
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: in game volatility. The in game volatility, we'll go with that.

677
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: If I were to beout this game, which I don't think,

678
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: I will invest in the trashman pick of the week,

679
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: it would be live and I would say, somebody gets

680
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: down ten or fifteen, let's get on the other side

681
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: and just hope that that works out.

682
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Game one Stonybrook one at Northeastern, So maybe a

683
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: little payback here for Northeastern on the road. Game was

684
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 3: ugly less than seventy possessions. No one scored over a

685
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: point for possession. Both offenses kind of struggled. The one

686
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: thing I think that goes in Northeastern's favor here is

687
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: Stonybrook is probably the only team in the conference, one

688
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: of the main ones anyways, that doesn't really take advantage

689
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 3: of Northeastern's inability to handle the ball. That's been their

690
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: problem since Tyson Walker left from Michigan's eight. They've been

691
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: turnover machines and Stony Brick Force's turnovers at the lowest

692
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: rate in the conference. They just don't do it. So

693
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: you put that out, you take away one of Northeastern's

694
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: biggest weaknesses. All of a sudden, they look pretty attractive,

695
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: especially kidding trying to get a revenge spot here after

696
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: starting to repeat them on their own.

697
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: For yeah, I think the revenge angles notable. I just

698
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 4: love my guy Franki Paulchelli.

699
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: It's a bumb of that that team has been crucified

700
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: with injuries this season. They just haven't had any chance

701
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: to get any sort of momentuments why they were a

702
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: great fade early on. They're not good now, but I

703
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: don't think they're as fade worthy as they were earlier

704
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: in the season.

705
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: All right to spotlight.

706
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: And we mentioned a couple of these teams earlier in

707
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: our breakdowns, but we're going to basically talk about what

708
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling the Conference killers, teams that are undefeated against

709
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: the spread since conference play commenced. We have the SEC Trifecta,

710
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: we have the Westerners, and we have the under the

711
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: radar low majors. Am I not so creative bucketing of

712
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: these teams. Let's start with the big boys, KA Alabama.

713
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: Georgia A and M. Alabama not surprising. Everyone knows they're good.

714
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: They've been awesome. It's been better than people think. Georgia,

715
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Mike White, I think we thought they'd be feist deep

716
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: and man, they've been a mini against the spread wagon lately.

717
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 4: In Texas A and M.

718
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: Have they reversed course after a pretty dreadful non conference showing.

719
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Texas A and M was expected to

720
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 3: be a top forty team by most people, ourselves included.

721
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: They brought back almost everybody from last season, a team

722
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: that just missed the tournament. So this ascendance, I guess

723
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: is less surprising than say Georgia, who while we thought

724
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: they'd be improved at You're right, we didn't expect them

725
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: to beat, for instance, Auburn outright for them to be

726
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: three to one in the SEC to start. I tend

727
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: to think Georgia at A and M start to conference

728
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: play is pretty real, especially the manner of which A

729
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: and M has beaten their last several opponents. I mean,

730
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: they crushed LSU, Miszoo and South Carolina beat them by

731
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: forty So I'm pretty in on A and M ascending here.

732
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: I think Georgia is much better coach and athletic and

733
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: locked in. I'm pretty in on them as well. And

734
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: of course I'm out in Alabama jim as one of

735
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: the top teams in the country top five right now

736
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: for sure.

737
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, album rocks. They're like in line for A one

738
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: seed at this point and totally worthy. The curious thing

739
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: with Georgia and A and M is I think they

740
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: set themselves up for this ATS success by stinking in

741
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: the non con Georgia really struggled with injuries. They had

742
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: guys in and out, they had flew, they had everything

743
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: you could have go wrong, and then Kyra and Lindsay

744
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 2: transferred maybe addition by subtraction in terms of chemistry, so

745
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: they were set up to bounce up, and same with

746
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: A and M. You lose it home to Wafford, you

747
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: struggle in some of your by games. The problem is

748
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: beating South Carolina by forty vaults them up the analytical

749
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: ranking rights to a point where maybe there's not going

750
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: to be value on their numbers anymore. I think they

751
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 2: maybe found their level. They're at forty seventh now. Before

752
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: that game, they were sixty third, Like you jump up

753
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: sixteen spots. That actually means something at this stage of

754
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: the season. They had gone as low as seventy fifth

755
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: before they got into league play, So I think they've

756
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: kind of normalized Georgia, though I think they're still be

757
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: a little value on them because of the health and

758
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: they're not smashing the same way that Texas, A and

759
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: M is are just kind of covering comfortably and creeping

760
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: up in So I like Georgia the most of those

761
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: three going forward against the number.

762
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: I think I do as well.

763
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, Georgia had a problem with beating bad teams by

764
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: comporable margins and non conference play, Jim, because of the

765
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: reasons you mentioned. Partly, it's just not a team that profiles.

766
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Mike White historically has never been a guy that just

767
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, crushes as a large favorite. I don't have

768
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: the data to back it up, but Ancdoley, it's just

769
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: not how his teams play. They're built on defense, They're

770
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: not built to run away from you on offense, and

771
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: I think that plays up well, but it doesn't play

772
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: down well, which does give them value. Coming into to

773
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: league play, Kyro gonna head west to hit on Santa

774
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Clara and Nevada, two teams that have not lost against

775
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: the spread since conference play began. Santa Clara had was

776
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: a non conference darling to start. Then they had a

777
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a lull, I would say, kind of

778
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: toward the end of December, people forgot about him. The

779
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: air Pods, Brandon Pajimski buzz sort of subsided. But he's

780
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: still real, and this team is still real, and this

781
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: coach is still real. What do you think about the

782
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: Brons going forward?

783
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: I'm a fan. I support them. I don't know if

784
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna be a tournament team. I just think the

785
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: team's the top of that conference. You're gonzag As, you're

786
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: Saint Mary's even BYU. The way they're playing right now

787
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: are so good, and I don't think Santa Clair has

788
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: many opportunities to get there. Novada, though, at your other team,

789
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: they've been incredible this year. They haven't really gotten press

790
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: that say New Mexico has in that same conference, but

791
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: they've made basically almost the exact same rise New Mexico

792
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: has in the analytical rankings. Started one hundred and thirty

793
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: second at kim pom. They're top fifty right now, they're

794
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: forty ninth compared with to New Mexico. It's even higher than

795
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 3: when New Mexico's done so far in terms of raising

796
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: up the ranks. New Mexico started one thirty eight, they're

797
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: at sixty and yet that that is not getting the press,

798
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 3: and they're sitting here atop the conference in pretty good

799
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: position for Nott large. I buy the wolf Pack. I

800
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 3: know you do as well, Matt. It's amazing what getting

801
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: rid of Jim will say some chemistry issue last season

802
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 3: has done for this team.

803
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not even like full full strength. I

804
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 2: think they thought Hunter McIntosh would be their best point

805
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: guard transfer from Elon that had actually had a pretty

806
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: solid career for the Phoenix, and he hasn't played at all.

807
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 2: He's been injured all the year, and they've kind of

808
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: cobbled together that situation.

809
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: Matt.

810
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: I think you've said it's helped them. They've played bigger

811
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: and it's helped their defense.

812
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 4: They're so long, not having so long, Yeah.

813
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: Super long.

814
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

815
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: The difference is that New Mexico started fourteen to zero

816
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 2: and Nevada didn't start undefeated, so the eye popping wow

817
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: record wasn't there. But they've been just as effective and

818
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: maybe are nearly as indecent as shape as for an

819
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: at large Santa Clara also sneaking competitive, but air pods

820
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: is rather important. I believe he sat out last game.

821
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: You need to keep an eye if he's going to

822
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: be out of the lineup. I think that's going to

823
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: be an unsustainable run. He is worth a million to them.

824
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're flirting with last year. You look at the

825
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: Kempom ranking. They finished seventy six. Last season, Santa Clair

826
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: like probably the best team in that program's history, and

827
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: this year they're what they're up to eighty two, so

828
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: they're basically right there. I don't believe that this team,

829
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: even with Pajemski, is as good as last season's team.

830
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, last Tea's team has had a lottery pick

831
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: in Jaylen Williams and basically a better nucleus or an

832
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: older nucleus. So just from that lens, I do think

833
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: Santa Clair is a little bit of a cell no

834
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: that I buy more just because of just the program

835
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: history and Alford's had success being a under sorry an

836
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: overachieving coach with lower.

837
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: Expectations, right.

838
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: I think he got kind of a tough He's better

839
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: in New Mexico, better in this current situation than I

840
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: think he is in the prominent spotlight at UCLA.

841
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: So I kind of buy the pack one one.

842
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: Little thing for that Santa Clair thing. I think the

843
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: spot Saturday where they go on the road to Saint Mary's,

844
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's barely won at Santa Clair, I think that's

845
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: a smash. Saint Mary's might win big, big, especially if

846
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: Pajemski's still out.

847
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 4: Saint Mary's is incredible.

848
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: We talked about teasing that as like a potential, this

849
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: is there they'd begin zig in the WCC. Now it's

850
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: like their most favorites to to Outpacesknzac. That's how good

851
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: they're playing up to top about ten.

852
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: I about the eight people met top ten eight in

853
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: Kampound but not ranked in the eight people what does

854
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: I tell you?

855
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 4: I think the eight people got it right and as

856
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 4: they always do.

857
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: Kay, so we are we bow down to the eight

858
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: people on those esteem voters who know exactly what they're

859
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: talking about. Jim last little twofer will hit here, Fairley,

860
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: Dickinson and Binghamton. Yes, we went way off the beaten

861
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: path to mention Philey, Dickinson and Bingington who are flawless,

862
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: unblemished against the number in conference play FDU new coach,

863
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: do regime, decent transfers, terrible conference.

864
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: That kind of makes sense to me.

865
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: It's a nice little formula for him. This has kind

866
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: of been a little bit of a darling for me.

867
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: I bet them fifty five to one to win the

868
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: NEC in the preseason. It didn't get a lot down

869
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: on it, regrettably, but they they're the only undefeated team

870
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,479
Speaker 2: left and they've got these this D two corps. Their

871
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: coach and three of their rotation players, including their two

872
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: best guards, are all coming from the same teams that

873
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: Saint Thomas Aquinas College, and that continuity has carried over

874
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: into the league. Like you said, an NEC that's super

875
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: super down. I think the fact that they have that

876
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: kind of familiarity with each other. Not a lot of

877
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: talent elsewhere, they've taken advantage of it, and they have

878
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 2: these two sub six foot guards. At that level the ANC,

879
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if your guards are small, You're not

880
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: gonna get punished in the post or anything. So I'm

881
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 2: a big fan of them. Kai can talk about Bingington

882
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 2: if he wants. That's been a nice ascent from where

883
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: they were, but I'm more enamored with Fairley Dickinson.

884
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been on a fairly. Dickinson profited off them

885
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: a couple times in the betting market. The best offense

886
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: by far in the NEEC right now in a league

887
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: not known for offenses. So they've been impressive being into

888
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 3: Matthew is a team that's just come back to where

889
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 3: I think most people thought they'd be right they They

890
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 3: started off as a kind of a dark horse, sexy

891
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: pick to finish top three in the Americans.

892
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: Them or ums slow right like pickure your cute sleeper, a.

893
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 3: Ton of experienced, ton of guys coming back from last season,

894
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: and they just were terrible to start off the year.

895
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: They lost a little of Maryland stone Hill, got crushed

896
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: by a much better competition and now they're on the upswing.

897
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: It just beat you mess the little They just impressively

898
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 3: killed New Hampshire team that's been really good so far

899
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: in conference play. So yeah, this team is just coming

900
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 3: back to where we thought they'd be. These type of teams.

901
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: I think they're really going to be teams that were

902
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 3: expected to be good. And now all of a sudden,

903
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 3: you see this upswing, pounce on it, get on it

904
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 3: before the curve hits the peak.

905
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: We'll say, yeah, And they're getting John McGriff as Saint

906
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: John's transferred back Ackland, and they got a couple of

907
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: other guys that have entered out Vingham today. I roster

908
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: look pretty on paper, it was awful started now it

909
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: looks a lot better. And again same DNA as fairly Dickinson.

910
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: The competition matters, so when you're playing a watered down landscape,

911
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: it certainly can can be another reason to be undervalued.

912
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: So Max mentioned the other two undefeated in league play,

913
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: just so we don't have them like, hey, but what

914
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: about my team, I undefeated ats in the Big twelve

915
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 2: and Southern You're Jaguars, Matthew undefeated.

916
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: I have them grated as one, each of them pushing

917
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: again losey. Yeah, let's talk about Southern's awesome. I called that.

918
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: God May I'll beat my chest there. Year, Sean Woods

919
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: gets over the hump as he has been banging his

920
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: head against the proverbial swack while Texas, Southern and Grambling

921
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: have have had his numbers. So I think he gets

922
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: over the hump this year.

923
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: And I always say, yeah, I mean, what was there

924
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 4: to say.

925
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the team's just amazing coach ots and co

926
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: at Hilton or just to have that recipe going. And

927
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they've finished. They're unefeated in a conference play.

928
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're like how much more value or

929
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: runway they have at this point. They're up to thirteenth

930
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: and Ken Palm. But hey, I'm on tonight against Texas,

931
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: So I guess that means nothing to the listeners out there,

932
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: but go Clones.

933
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to give them their due. I

934
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 2: don't want their fans come. Yeah, we're undefeated too.

935
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: It's a strong fan base. We're fans of both fan bases.

936
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: I suppose quick final bet recap here. I'm keeping it

937
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: tight to the vest. Not a ton of volume for Matthew.

938
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Marry money line dabble at the onset.

939
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma gets Oklahoma State in bedlam. And I'm

940
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: with Jim on Georgia State. I haven't been lurking in

941
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: the weeds with you, but I'm gonna now kind of

942
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: tail you as we army crawl into this pit of

943
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: value that the Panthers will present themselves. So that's my

944
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: three for Jim. What's your slate for the Wednesday Thursday schedule?

945
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the hope Matt that Georgia State figures it out.

946
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: They're one of my four money lines that I'm gonna

947
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 2: split with spread Georgia State, Virginia Tech, then U NBC

948
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 2: and Stephen F. Austin between Wednesday and Thursday. And then

949
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: also I'm gonna be back in my Tigers miszoo. I

950
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 2: love that home spot against Arkansas in the matchup that

951
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: they showed in the first game. And I'll join Matthew

952
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: on Oklahoma. I think the Sosoners get it done on

953
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: the road, particularly of CSA's out Kai, but even if

954
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: he's in there, I think Oklahoma's just gonna be better prepared

955
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: for that one.

956
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 3: Love it and my live Dogs. I'm going Bill and Mary.

957
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 3: That's Wayne and Mary. For those at home, I'm going

958
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: Junior Tech as well in that section. I'm back in

959
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: Sauce State in the mid Major game of the week

960
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 3: against Stetson. I'm looking at Wilmington, but I'm not officially

961
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: gonna send it in quite yet. I think they might

962
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: be a little bit hurt has me a little bit scared,

963
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 3: So I'll roll with those three Kidnesaw on the two

964
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: Live Dogs.

965
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you won't join me on our tigers?

966
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,960

Speaker 4: to you guys.

974
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: I actual probably should bet Kennesaw as as much as

975
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: I pumped him up there, but I'll pass them.
