32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,160

00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: Let's check out the South region here. Let's start here.

71
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: Alabama the one of ones right now, James, they are

72
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: on the board A plus two hundred to come out

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: of this bracket, Arizona plus four to forty, Baylor plus

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: five to fifty. Then he got Creton and Virginia after that.

75
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: In your opinion, what do you see here in the

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: South region? Who comes out of this region where you're

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: gonna put your.

78
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Money, Joey p out of all the brackets.

79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 4: This is the madness of madness? Can you cut? If

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: you look at this bracket with Alabama as the one seed,

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: Arizona's the two, you said, Baylor as the three, Virginia

82
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: is the four. A lot of upsets and that's why

83
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: I want to begin one upset. We're off the bat

84
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: five twelve Charleston versus San Diego State Charleston thirty one

85
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: and three. I think they would have got in even

86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: if they didn't win the CAAA Tournament Outstanding team has

87
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: three losses all year. Why don't they have the quad

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: one wins, folks? Because no one wants to play them.

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: That's why they don't have the quad one wins. And

90
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: I thought they could have been a little bit underseated

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: over San Diego State team that's been up and down

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: all year. When you go down the line, Love Alabama, Maryland,

93
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: West Virginia is gonna be an absolute rock fight if

94
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: you want to look at it. That's the under you

95
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: may want to look at Love West Virginia. There, Baylor, Missouri,

96
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 4: Arizona moved through. When I get to the next round,

97
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: round of thirty two, I do think it's it's Bama

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: and Virginia coming through. And I forgot this Creighton. I'm

99
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 4: a big believer in Creighton, Folks. I think if KLK

100
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: Brenner is playing the way he's capable of at the

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: seven to one center position, with Shireman with number, with Camala,

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: with those shooters around him, they're a dangerous team member, Folks.

103
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: He had a three game, a six game los A

104
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: Tree thirty season. Early in year, cal Brenner missed three games.

105
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: So actually coming out of the East right sorry to South,

106
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: I have Alabama beating Creighton in the Elite eight to

107
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: punch their tickets to Houston.

108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So Alabama again plus two hundred right now

109
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: in the consensus line, creating at plus seven fifty. So

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: fascinating takes on that one here, And you think Creighton

111
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: is that one that could really can anybody really challenge

112
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: Bama or you really think that bam at the end

113
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: of the day, this is an easy one one for

114
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: them and they're gonna get to that final four?

115
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Is that is that where you're going for there?

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a dog fight, and I

117
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: can easily say that Creighton's gonna that can actually win it.

118
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: And if you look at it the way the Creighton's

119
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: bracket lines up, you know, obviously they go through NC State,

120
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: which would be a tough game. I think Baylor's tremendously

121
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: overrated and they're all over the place. I think it's

122
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 4: a bad match, especially with Kalk Bryner at the center position.

123
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: Then they probably gone to play Arizona. I like the

124
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: scoring acumen and the shooting of Creighton over a arbor.

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: You know of Arizona because sometimes Arizona struggles offensively that

126
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: gets them to the elite on the top side of

127
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: the bracket. Bama rolls through. What's an interesting game. The

128
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 4: issue with Alabama is going to be the Brandon Miller stuff, Like,

129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: as this gets closer and closer to the Final four,

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 4: does it start to become too much for this kid

131
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: and this team. He's a fantastic player. Didn't shoot the

132
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: ball well. I goinst Texas and them early, but I

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: got going latesilhead over twenty points dynamic score. If you

134
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: see his three point prop three plus threes, he usually

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: can hit it. To take a look at that. And

136
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: I think when they played Virginia in the Sweet sixteen,

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you, Joey paate Virginia. If you

138
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: watch them on Saturday night last night against Dude, they

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: struggled mightily to make shots. I think that's the recipe

140
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: for disaster. That's how I'm Alabama going through. But it

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: will not be easy against Creyton. And I wouldn't be

142
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: shocked if Creighton actually won the game. So if you

143
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 4: want to take it, take both of them at two

144
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: hundred and plus seven fifty.

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna make out even money.

146
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 4: Maybe put a little bit more units on a team

147
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: like Alabama over Creton, but I will not be surprised

148
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: Joe if Creighton makes it to Houston.

149
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: And Baylor overrated.

150
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: You heard it here from James Young himself, and if

151
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: you haven't already, make sure you follow this good man

00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: is gonna take you through every single game in this

159
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: tournament with the Daily Juice. So if you haven't already

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: subscribed to those pods, James, let's go to the East here,

161
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: Perdue at the top plus three hundred, then Marquette plus

162
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: four to twenty. You've got Tennessee a plus five, Kentucky

163
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: at plus eight fifty, and Kansas State.

164
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Of plus nine.

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: Those are the top to come out of the East.

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: Do you think again this is an easy ride because

167
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: you're looking at the line here it says Purdue is

168
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: up at the very top, but Marquette not that far

169
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: behind a plus four twenty. This one a bit tighter

170
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: than the last reason we broke through. So in your opinion,

171
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: who comes out of the East and who is dangerous?

172
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna put the team that's dangerous along with

173
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: the team that I think is going to win the East.

174
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: Buckle up Kentucky. I think they've been playing really well

175
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: as of late. Listen, two to three losses had as

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: of late have been to Vanderbilt, Lord of Mercy. Thank you,

177
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt is not in the tournament. Otherwise I would have

178
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: been going against Kentucky off the bat. But the playoff

179
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: Oscar Tshiba has been fantastic, Joe, but it's been the

180
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 4: play of the Angloid parts Top and the Reeves. The

181
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: Wheelers like, these kids are playing well. Kyle Skins are

182
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 4: playing better as of late, and I think this is

183
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: a team that can make a deep run and actually

184
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: make it to the final four, which means I have

185
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: to go through Kansas State Marquette in an absolute war

186
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 4: to Sweet sixteen but in the top I've never been

187
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: a Purdue becker, to say the least. I think this

188
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 4: team's overrated. I think Zach Edi has been absolutely fantastic.

189
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: I will not knock him, but if you move him

190
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: off the block, and you move them more than about

191
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: six seven feet in the basket, his only move really

192
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: is what we call a jump book over the left

193
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: shoulder turn, left shoulder, right handed jump hook. If he's

194
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: pushed out a little bit too far, he has trouble

195
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: making that shot. I think there's a chance, a good chance,

196
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: that Purdue gets knocked out in the second round. They

197
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: will be the first one to be eliminated. And I

198
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: like Memphis. I like what I've seen out of them.

199
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: You could have argued they could have beat Houston with Sassar.

200
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: At Memphis at the end of the year, lost by

201
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: two on a buzzer beat by Jamal shed They just

202
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: beat Houston today without Marcus Sasser by ten. They're a

203
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 4: big early in that game. Penny Hardaway's evolving as a coach.

204
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: I think they can pick off Perdue in the round

205
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: of thirty two, and if Purdue gets by them, I

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: think and I can't stand the program. Duke Duke has

207
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: looked really good with Filapowski. He's got twenty plus points

208
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: to three of his last four games, double double four

209
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: of his last five. Playing a sting basketball for Duke.

210
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: John Shire's starting to figure it out, folks. So I

211
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: actually have Kentucky beating Duke at Madison Square Garden. We're

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: a chance to go to the final four. Let me

213
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: tell you some if the two Blue Buds get the MSG,

214
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: I swear MSG will be ready to blow the roof

215
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: off if those two teams meet in the Elite eight.

216
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: In my hometown, in my building, MSG, it sounds like

217
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: the East is a little bit more like the wild

218
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: wild West. So keep a very close eye on Memphis,

219
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: keep a close eye on Duke the five seed there,

220
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: and if you're looking for Kentucky, as James is plus

221
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: eight point.

222
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: Fifty, you're getting right there for them to win this region.

223
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: That is fantastic.

224
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: So let's take a quick break in the action to

232
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Midwest Division here, James, and

233
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: we continue to move through the program.

234
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Midwest Division.

235
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: Houston big time favorite, obviously plus one thirty five to

236
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: come out of this. A lot of people thought Houston

237
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: would be the one one instead that went to Alabama.

238
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: So Houston got the second of the one seeds Texas

239
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: at plus four fifty, then Xavier at plus nine hundred

240
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: Texas A and M plus one thousand and plus eleven

241
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: hundred for Indiana. So Houston is the heavy favorite here.

242
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: So two questions. Number one, is anybody going to beat Houston?

243
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: And if they're not, is anybody going to challenge in

244
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: this bracket?

245
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: And really surprise, well to me, it's going to be

246
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 4: really depending on the news of Marcus Sasser. They're starguard

247
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: scoring seventeen points a game. Member folks I thought for

248
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: Houston could have won a national champions last year. Remember

249
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: they lost forty eight forty four to Villanova and the

250
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: Elite eight without Marcus Sasser. If they had Sasser last

251
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: year they win the national championship, that kind of goals

252
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 4: for this year. So I think this is one where

253
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you two teams that could end up

254
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: going to Houston, and it's all gonna depend on Marcus

255
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 4: Sassar's health and who to two teams you gotta folks,

256
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: both from the great state of Texas. Houston comes out

257
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: of the top half after going through their first round

258
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: opponent Auburn Miami. Look up for Miami, folks, they are

259
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 4: sneaky good. I think they can get by big up

260
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:48,119
Speaker 4: to the half off off the jump. Kent State beating Indiana.

261
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: I think Kent State has a great guard play. I

262
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 4: get concerned about Indiana because if they don't get te

263
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,119
Speaker 4: Fino shooting the bowl, well's too much of a reliance

264
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: on Trace Jackson Davis. So I do like out in

265
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: the top half, Houston coming out playing Miami in the

266
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen. Bottom half of the draw. It's pretty chalk

267
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: all the way through. I have been enamored and I

268
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 4: have loved the job that Rodney Terry has done at Texas.

269
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: I think I don't know why they haven't given his

270
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: men the goddamn job give it twelve already. Look what

271
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: he's done to Kansas Joe the last week and a half,

272
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: knocking him off twice by combined over thirty points.

273
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: So those aren't.

274
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: Schools wins, Joe, those are absolute beatdowns. I think it's

275
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: Houston versus Texas and the elite eighth. And here's what

276
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: I'll say to you. If Sassor is healthy, it's Houston.

277
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: If Sassar is not healthy, it's Texas. I think either

278
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: way it's gonna be a phenomenal matchup. Two in state

279
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: rivals going at each other for chance to play the

280
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: final four in Houston.

281
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: Now is a fact saying, because if it's not Houston again,

282
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: the Houston numbers plus one twenty, but the Texas number

283
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: much more appealing to plus four fifty. So depending on

284
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: that health of Sasser, make your bets accordingly, or maybe

285
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: put some money on Houston first here, I mean, excuse

286
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: me on the on the other side, excuse me on

287
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: Texas first before any news comes out, because if that

288
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: news comes out, perhaps that line changes. So let's just

289
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: be ahead of the game here, be ahead of the

290
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: game on Texas and then see what happens.

291
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: And look, if you really love Houston, maybe you wait

292
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: a little.

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: Bit because if he's not healthy or there's more speculation,

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: perhaps this number does change over the next few days too,

295
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: you might get a better number than the plus one twenty.

296
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: So monitor this Midwest region if you are wagering on

297
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: it very closely, or as if you're just playing any

298
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: bracket challenges anywhere.

299
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560

00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: getting enough respect. They are the one seed, but still

314
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: maybe not enough respect for the champs. We'll see plus

315
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: three twenty for them. Ucla at plus three fifty real

316
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: close here, Gonzaga at plus four hundred, then Connecticut plus

317
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: five fifty, TCU at plus nine as the long shot

318
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: to come out of the West. So how do you

319
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: see this bracket breaking down?

320
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: Here?

321
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: Is it Kansas with a chip on their shoulder not

322
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: getting enough respect? Is it Ucla or is it somebody

323
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: else coming out of this region to really shock in

324
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: awe everyone.

325
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: It's someone else. And here's my concern. My concern with Kansas,

326
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: if they showed it last night, is when Wilson is

327
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 4: the only one at scoring, they don't have enough scoring

328
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: power to win. You had to look at Grady Dick

329
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: shop three for eleven. Mccullus was hurt, Harris was great.

330
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: So you look at a team like Kansas, they're very

331
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: top heavy in regards to the fact that they rely

332
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 4: on Jalen. Wilson did a majority of his scoring and

333
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 4: let the Big twelve and both scoring and rebound this year.

334
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: Phenomenal phenomenal player need more consistently, especially out of a

335
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: player like Grady Dick UCLA. I'm concerned about the injury

336
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: bug with them. Clark is out there big as hurt.

337
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: We don't know the status and them Clark's are best defender.

338
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 4: I this is where this is where it gets really

339
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: crazy with me. The team I have coming out of

340
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: the West are the U Khan Huskies. You can't early

341
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: this year were undefeated, Joe. They were playing as good

342
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: as anybody in the country. They tailing off, and the player,

343
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: particularly Hawkins and Caravan, has been fantastic. Hawkins with the

344
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: league score for Yukon and Bigie's play kind of takes

345
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: the load off of Snogo, the big center inside. And

346
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 4: then you got a guy like Jackson who's a dynamic defender.

347
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: I think he's a type of guard or Ford. I

348
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 4: should say that could give Jalen Wilson fitts. If he

349
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: can't score, they're in trouble. I like Kansas to upset.

350
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry Kansas get upset by Yukon in the sweet

351
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: sixteen and bottom half of the draw. I'm a big believer.

352
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: And TCU Mike Miles and what he's done this year

353
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: as a guard, and Jamie Dixon, you know, Joe, someone

354
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 4: that's from this area, like I am in New York,

355
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 4: New Jersey area, knows what Jamie Dixon did at Pittsburgh

356
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 4: for a long time in the Big East. Has done

357
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: a fantastic job at TCU. He totally stumbled down the strut.

358
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 4: You could have argued he could have been in the

359
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: running for National Coach of the Year. I like Yukon

360
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 4: to be TCU in the Elite eight punch their ticket.

361
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: TU goes through Arizona State in a playing game, then

362
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: knockof Gonzaga, knock off UCLA, U kond a better team.

363
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 4: Yukon mixed the final.

364
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: Four Connecticut plus five point fifty on there too. So ah,

365
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: great stuff there, James, All right, let's get to the

366
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: big dance, because.

367
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: We've talked abot about some of these teams in the regions.

368
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: Already Houston again the favorite, plus five hundred, Alabama plus

369
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: eight hundred Kansas, you're already kind of off them there,

370
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: plus one thousand. Some of the teams that you like though,

371
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: that are in this mix, Texas plus nineteen hundred, Yukon

372
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: plus twenty four hundred. Right now, to win it all,

373
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: you've got Duke at plus thirty one hundred creating at

374
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: plus thirty four hundred along with TCU plus thirty four hundred.

375
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: There are some huge potential scores here. So how do

376
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: you spread the units around? How do you look here

377
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: in terms of the final four, the winner? Where are

378
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: you putting your chips into the middle.

379
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: Well, I would say this, if Sasur is healthy, they're

380
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: gonna win it. Okay, I really believe they're the best country.

381
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: So you're gonna put a unit right there, right there.

382
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 4: But then I'm gonna back it up of putting the

383
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: same amount a little bit more on Texas because I

384
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 4: think if Texas Texas, I do have winning the national championship.

385
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: If sassar Get is not healthy, so I have Texas

386
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: winning at all. So that's where you know where I'm

387
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: coming from there. But with me taking so many teams

388
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: that have such value, you can put a half a

389
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 4: unit on a Yukon or in a Kentucky or on

390
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: a TCU. You don't have to put a big number

391
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 4: out there because at the odds. Remember, folks, Texas is

392
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 4: at nineteen to one. Their number has been falling in

393
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: the last forty eight hours after beating Kansas, and the

394
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: way they've done it So Texas is at nineteen to one,

395
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: like Joe kind of talked about, if you wait too

396
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: long with Texas and Sassar is out, you're gonna see

397
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 4: now on their final four numbers. But their champions numbers

398
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: drop even more. Maybe they go somewhere from nineteen to

399
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 4: one to fifteen to one. So this may be an

400
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: opper you want to get on the long Horns now.

401
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: So I have Texas beating Yukon, and I have Alabama

402
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: beating Kentucky, and I have Bama versus Texas in the

403
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 4: National Championship game. I love Rights and car the guard

404
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: flight of Texas, and I think Rodney Terry has done

405
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 4: a good of a job as anybody in the country.

406
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 4: The Texas Long Horns win in a crazy season after

407
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: Chris Spear gets let go, the coach leaves, they win

408
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: the National champions kind of like when a team called

409
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: Michigan a guy named Steve Fisher went as an interim

410
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 4: and won the National Championship.

411
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: That was a wayback machine right there for me.

412
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: Plus nineteen hundred on Texas, plus eight hundred on Alabama. Again,

413
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: as James said, Houston is a favorite if you want

414
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: to put some money there, as well. Butt some great

415
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: stuff there with the Texas Longhorns hook Horns maybe plus

416
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: nineteen hundred on the board. James, you were the hardest
