• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Sunday one and five.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: never seen anything like this.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Man, with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: good day at all.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Own four, I have not had a good season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Man, with bookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: slump continues.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I've reached into pink.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm going to burn my browins hack, Man, I
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: don't know what is going on with the Bruins.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Arch hate? Is that what it is? I don't even
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: know it's March ninth. I think who even knows? Man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what data is anymore. But I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: even know what data is anymore. Man, back with you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: after the worst day that I.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Could possibly have with you, as I always am until
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I die at least oh and two.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yesterday and yesterday did not go well for me. Own
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: five the worst.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Month that I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Slump praise, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: point other than potentially.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: End it all. What's up? Guyss toad back with you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: with Toadstool Sports.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: This is going to be part two of the NCAA
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Basketball Conference tournament breakdowns. I'm just giving some ideas about
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: potential values value in the futures markets.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I should say I already did part.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: One of this, where I broke down a bunch of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the different conference tournaments already. I don't know how many
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I did, but yeah, I mean, if you watch that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: video the other night, Sunday and night. I think this
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is gonna be a similar thing for the next conference
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: tournaments that begin, starting with ones that begin to tomorrow.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So the brackets are set for a bunch more so
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna talk about here, and then I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: might have one more of these to do and then
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the big conferences or I don't know, I gotta I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: don't know how I'm gonna break it down exactly, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: let's just get into it. Man, it's kind of just
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: there's no structure. Not that there's any structure to my
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: show anyway, but there's no real structure to this.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But we will start by talking about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The Missouri Valley here, every tournament that started the fourth
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: or earlier.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I've already done this show, fir Us.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You can find that in part one, and you know
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: those tournaments are ongoing. Of course, the a sun is
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: happening today right now. We'll start with the Missouri Valley, man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: because this is one of the ones that starts tomorrow.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know why the link still says standings there,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: but it starts tomorrow. So the brat I'm pretty sure
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the bracket is here. I don't know why they don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: give us the bracket. All right, So that's great, so
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I actually have to go look for it. Isn't that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: just great? Bracket revealed for the Missouri Valley.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That's not good enough. Usually, like yeah, I was gonna say,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: usually just go to the like actual website. This is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: what HESPN links to usually the actual conference.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: All right, So Missouri Valley. The way they structure.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: THEIRS is the eight or excuse me, the six through
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: eleven seeds all play opening round games, and the one
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: through five seeds get buys into the next round, which
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: is it's kind of an insane structure, but it's not
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: really that crazy. I mean, it's definitely less crazy than
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: those long ass ones like the Sun Belt and the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: WC scene. It's not as weird and unpredictable as the
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Horizon one, where it's like, wait a minute, what the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: reseeding with certain teams? There's an extra game here?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So in the Missouri Valley, the eight and the nine
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are gonna play each other, which I don't even know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of these games are just on the NVC network,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I guess up until CBS Sports starts carrying the semi final.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: In the final, it says like that, I don't like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: how it says the time. Oh, I was like, it
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't say what day?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It is? All right, all the first round games are tomorrow.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So Southern Illinois and Drake are gonna play in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the eight to nine game, and then it's gonna be
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: at Valpo, Indiana State, Northern Iowa Evansville playing the other
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: games in these I mean, if we look at the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: actual conference breakdown, of course, Belmont was the best team
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: in the conference, and they are, but I do think
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: they're a little bit susceptible, And you know me, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: like to look for like, well, who's on their side
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of the bracket and whatever, and what does the conference
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: structure look like? According to Kembaum, well he has Belmont
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: as the best team in the conference. They're very good
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: on offense, but they're not the best deepense, and there
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: are some actual, really good deepfenses in the conference.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: They could potentially compete with them, I believe it or not.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Nor other than Iowa's the second best team according to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Kempbam Now in the standings, I've been saying they're dangerous.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That's because they basically have an elite defense, so twenty
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: second in the country. And then Southern Illinois is actually
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: thirtieth in defense, and I've been talking about how they're
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: really underrated all year in According to Kembom's ranking, Southern
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Illinois after Belmont, what am I looking at here? Belmont
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Murray State or Belmont Northern Iowa Murray excuse me, Belmont
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Northern Iowa Illinois State, who's also a pretty good defense,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So they're a little bit more of a balanced team,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to be honest, than.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Illinois Chicago.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Southern Illinois is actually the fifth best team in the conference,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: behind those in Illinois Chicago came from out of nowhere,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and I was not a believer in that team for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: quite a while. I was thinking they're basically fraudulent, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: looking at what their numbers look like now, they're not.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: They're like a top one hundred.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Defense along with Illinois State being one of those as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So I don't think Illinois Chicago is actually fraudulent, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: they don't really have that much experience playing in the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Missouri Valley Tournament, which is called Arch Madness by the way,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: because they play in Saint Louis with the Gateway Arch.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And then Murray State is actually the sixth best team
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: in the conference according to Ken Bomb, very close to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Southern Illinois though, and then Bradley after that. So you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I look at the bracket structure and I see, well, like,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: which side kind of is stacked right? So Belmont is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: gonna get the winner of Southern Illinois and Drake right
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: out of the gate. And if that's Southern Illinois, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: mean that's even a little bit dangerous right out of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the gate because Southern Illinois is actually a good team.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Like I just showed you, They're actually really really good
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: on the defensive side. So I could see Belmont potentially
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: not getting out of this conference and being the winner man,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: which would kind of suck because they're fifty fifth overall
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in ken Baum. But a lot of times the best
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: team doesn't get out of this conference. Bradley is the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: two seed, but as we saw, they're not actually the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: second best team in the conference. They're pretty balanced, though,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: like most of these teams really are more focused defense
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: or offense. Like Murray State's all offense, Belmont's basically all offense,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Illinois State.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Is still pretty primarily defense.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Illinois Chicago defense, Northern Iowa defense, Southern Illinois heavily towards defense.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But Bradley is at least more balanced. But I just
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, they do get an easy draw on the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: second game, though they get the winner of Valpo in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Indiana State. I just don't see those teams being that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: much of a threat, even though Valpo did make some noise.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They're a team that I don't really buy. So I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: do think Bradley will will advance to the whatever this
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is the semifinal round, I guess, so I think Bradley
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: got a good draw in that regard, and then Illinois
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: State did not, as they get Northern Iowa or Evans
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Vichell highly likely be in Northern Iowa, and then that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: will be a defensive battle, that'll be a physical battle, man,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and basically either team could come out of that. And then,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of course both those teams are capable of beating Bradley
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: because they're better than Bradley, but that's gonna be a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: physical game that might punish that team too much, whereas
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Bradley is gonna coast through their game.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So Bradley, you know, they.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Might be able to beat whoever this punishing defense is
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that comes out of this game. But still, whichever one
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of these teams does come out of the Illinois State
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and likely Northern Iowa game, assuming that game does happen,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: whichever one of those teams does come out of it
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: is definitely a threat to still win the conference though.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And then if Belmont gets my Southern Illinois, which you
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: know what, I think they still will probably then they
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: get Murray State or Illinois Chicago.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: So I do think if Belmont gets through that first game, they.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Do actually have an easier path because they don't have
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to run into Illinois State or Northern Iowa like Bradley
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: does early on. So you know, Belmont's path is actually
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: not that bad. Look at the odds in this conference.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Belmont is plus win fifty five to win it, Northern
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Iowa plus four to seventy five, and Illinois State plus
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: five hundred Bradley even though the two seeder it's plus
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: seven fifty for a reason.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And then Murray State.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I know everybody likes their offense, but they're only a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: ten to one plus one thousand in Illinois Chicago plus
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: eight point fifty.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You know, whichever team.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Wins between Northern Iowa and Illinois State, that team is
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: probably gonna have some value, but it might make more
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: sense to just wait to see wins that game and
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: maybe try to play them against Bradley.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It's just what the problem is.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be coming out of a punishing, defensive game
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and Bradley's gonna be coming out of a much easier game.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't know about that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So you know what I actually looking at this further,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I actually do kind of think Belmont this tournament does
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: set up decently for Belmont to get all the way,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: just the path in the other side of the bracket
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: is just more intense, I think, with a lot of
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the better teams stacked up on that side of the bracket.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, maybe you could take a shot
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with Bellmont. And I think Belmont is kind of gonna
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: be the public choice.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Everybody just kind of knows.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Everybody sees them in the bracketologies and whatever, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I do. I do like Northern Iowa quite a bit, though.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted to take a shot, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: on them, I wouldn't really blame you, because I do
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: think they have a really really great defense and the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: fact that they'll get an easy game but kind of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a tune up game. I think they will have an
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: advantage over Illinois State because they'll have played already, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: all of these games are on a neutral site in
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis, like I said, so there's no real advantage
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you know, home court wise to one team or the other.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: By the way, I think I forgot to mention, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was hearing like some rumblings about some of these a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Sun games being at another location, So I might have
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: been wrong when I talked about the A Sun religion
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: because I was like, on, North Florida's playing at home,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: like that seems really crazy to me. Maybe I got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that wrong, but I don't know. I don't think it
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: says that in the A Sun bracket here. I don't know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: but I was looking at it and I'm like, well,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the first two games definitely got played at North Florida.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that because I watched some of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: both those games.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Crazy game between bell and Jacksonville where Bellerman blew a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: massive lead and then it was like they were gonna
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: lose what they want anyway. And then I'm not shocked
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: at FGCU one obviously, but I'm gonna have to turn
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: these games on and see because these other games on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the other side might actually be being hosted by Jacksonville
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: or something and not North flor I don't even know, man,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they're doing. But you know, Jacksonville
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: did get to play in Jacksonville, but they still lost anyway.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: All right, let's keep going, man. We've done the Summit
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: League already, We've done the Sun Belt already, so con
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: is up next, all right, And unfortunately for ESPN, they
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have not updated these so I have to go find
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: all of them. Let's find it, all right, the SoCon bracket,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: let's go yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh and again dude, wait
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: but I'm on their actual website, Like where's wait, what
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: show me the bracket?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Bro? Oh my god? You know what, Maybe I should
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: just go to Wikipedia may be easier. Maybe I should
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just start using Wikipedia here for all of this. Uh yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know what. That's that's kind of nice. That's easy
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to read there. Or you go. All right, so the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: so kind is set. It doesn't start until the sixth.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: This has been kind of a down conference this year, though, Man,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and we do have I'm assuming we have odds for this, yes,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: we do. So. East Tennessee State kind of ran away
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: with the conference. Is the one seed, but they're not
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: like an insurmountable one seed. They're not really that great
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: of a team. They're one forty one in ken Bomb's rankings,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: so you know, the next closest team Mercer, but they're
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: like forty ranking spots lower, and then Furman is next
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: after that but outside the top two hundred. Then Samford
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: actually and then Western Carolina believe it or not, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: then Wafford.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: This is a conference where really anything could happen, though,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the seven through ten teams playing in the opening round
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: against each other and the rest of the team's get
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to buy. Kind of a weird structure, but that's the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: way that it works there. The winner of the eight
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to nine Chattanooga and Citadel play East Tennessee State, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be Chattanooga. But East Tennessee State probably
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't want that because Chattanooga is like their little brother
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: in that state, and they're very familiar with East Tennessee State,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and they gave eas Tennessee State a problem. I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it both games if I remember correctly that they played
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: this year, So right off the bat, East Tennessee State
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: might have a game where they might struggle a little bit,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and then you and See Greensboro is playing VMI is
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: like the complete dormat in the conference. So I would
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: imagine you and See Greensboro does not lose that game.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But then it sets up okay for Wafford to get
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: through that initial game there as the two seed, even
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: though they're not actually the second best team, And as
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I told you, Mercer is. But Mercer basically gets involved
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: in a toss up game against Western Carolina right out
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: of the gate, and then sam is playing Furman in
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the three six game, and I think that's another coin
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: flip game.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, these games are just so hard to predict.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Man, Like, any team could come out of this, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's gonna be that much value.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I think probably Wafford actually has maybe some value because
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: they just get an easy game in the first game,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: even though I just don't think they're that good though,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But then they would have to get through either Samford
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: or Furman. Let me see here, Yeah, and you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I mean they those teams are both better than Wafford,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: but Wafford could, I guess take care of business there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: It's this is a very very tough bracket to predict.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: East Tennessee State's at plus one eighty five to win it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Firman has the second best odds to win it at
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: plus four to twenty five. Interestingly, even though they're the
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: sixth seed and they're playing against Samford. You know, maybe
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: there is some value in Firman there, but they would
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: have to get through Samford. Well, I mean, getting through
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Samford and Wafford. I honestly, I don't think that's that easy.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Mercer at plus four seventy five Samford plus five hundred.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That does kind of imply that Mercer will be a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: pretty big favorite against Western Carolina. Wafford's at plus eight
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: hundred in Western Carolina plus one thousand. The rest of
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the teams, I think you just kind of erase. But
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, the setup for East Tennessee State
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: is honestly not that bad in this bracket. I mean,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: maybe you just take a shot with them, but I
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: don't really see any team having like a great like
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: side of the bracket or anything, because you know, Mercer
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and Western Carolina are both not that bad either. With
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the odds makers are telling you though, it's very interesting
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: that the sixth seed as the second best odds with
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Furman there, so the odds makers are kind of like
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: yelling at you, hey, there's like potentially some.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Value with Firman.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And they are the third best team in the conference
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: according to Kembam, like I said, and the second best defense.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: This has been a very.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Bad defensive conference, with East Tennessee State and Furman really
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: being the only capable defenses. So maybe Furman is worth
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a look. I think it probably, yeah, Either East Tennessee
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: or Furman probably would be the way I would look
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: if I went to the.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Futures market at all.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: But I don't find it very enticing in this conference
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: at all. All right, we have the Coastal?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Is this one set yet? Because I don't know because
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it doesn't say it doesn't say there's a bracket yet.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I think we do have one though, which I call
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: it the Colonials still though, because I hate that they
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: renamed it to the Coastal.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Just to be woke or whatever.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Oh that's two thousand. Wait did I say two thousands? No,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I mean twenty twenty, two thousand and six. Wow, I'm old,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. All right, Yes, we do have the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: brackets set up for this. So in this conference, one
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: game gets played on Friday between the twelve and thirteen
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: seeds nca and T in Northeastern, and Northeastern has been
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: pathetically bad, dude, like laughable. I don't know if they're
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: gonna win another game.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Even though I have been saying all season that NCAA
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and T is actually the worst team in this conference,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: they're actually not anymore.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Northeastern is.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: They're almost not even side Kembump's top three hundred now
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and nca and t's eight rankings about higher. And n
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: c A and T still has the best player on
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: either of those teams, which is I always forget his name.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Uh do they show the roster? Yeah, Lewis Walker one
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: of the best players in the conference. So you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I actually think NCAA and T would probably win that game.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Then it's an intro. It's a very very weird bracket
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: setup where Drexel gets to play the winner of that game,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and they're the five seed, and the five through eleven
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: all have to play on Saturday.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Then there's a double buy for the one through four.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Uh so you U and C Wilmington, Charleston, Hofstra, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Monmouth the double by there. I think this does set
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: up pretty nicely for UNC Wilmington. To be honest, they're
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: gonna get the winner of Stonybrook and Campbell. Those teams
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: have been somewhat competitive in the conference tournament. And then
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you know, I keep saying how teams that have a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: game under their belt do actually have a little bit
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of an edge coming into the next game because they've
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: already played a game. But I don't know, man, And
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: then you know, I like to talk about like what
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I've been talking about, like where these games are gonna
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: be on TV. I guess it's mostly gonna be on
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: CBS Sports Network later in the tournament. Yeah, and flow
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Hoops as the the initial rounds whatever that is. You
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: might be able to find streams of them if you
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: really want it, although I don't think I'm allowed to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: say that on here. And then I don't know where
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the game locations are gonna be. That's what I'm trying
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: to find here. Let me see here. Yeah, I don't
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: even know if I can find it because I think
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's a neutral site location. I wish I knew, dude,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: that was. That was the one reason why i'd like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to see like the brackets set up there. But anyway,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: looking at how the bracket does set up, Charleston and
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Hostra look like they're kind of on.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: A collision path, uh, collision.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Course, whatever you want to say, because the three best
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: teams of this conference are pretty clearly uh Hostra and Hofster,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Wilmington and Charleston. Charleston a little bit back. Actually, William
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and Mary's better than Charleston.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Now in the in ken Bump's rankings.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm surprised by that because I've been saying Charleston
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: is the third best team. Really, I guess you could
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: say it's Hofstra, U and See Wilmington and then everybody
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: else at this point, but Charleston and Hofstra if they
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: have to face off, and William and Mary out of
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the sixth seed here being kind of dangerous here. Basically,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: this entire section of the bracket is just all, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: stacked pretty much with Charleston, Hostra, and William and Mary
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: all there, and you and See Wilmington gets to avoid
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: every single one of those teams until the fine.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: So I do think you and See Wilmington probably is
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the way to look as far as this conference. They
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: just have a way easier side of the bracket.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: And I don't think we can I don't think we
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: can even see it here in the Let me see
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: if just FanDuel FanDuel has it, You and See Wilmington
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: plus one seventy five Hostra plus two twenty, Charleston plus
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: seven hundred women marry tied with Monmouth at plus one thousand.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I really don't see Monmouth being that much
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: of a threat here.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: They're actually worse than thousand thousand actually might have some
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a little bit of value too, But they're on the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: side with Charleston as well, so you and see Wilmington.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It's a really nice setup for them in this bracket, man,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So I think they're probably where the future value lies
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: instead of trying to pick who's gonna get through that
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: other side of the bracket.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: But you and see Wilmington, you know, you get them
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: at an underdog price. We'll see.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Hofstra is considered to be fairly significantly better
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: than the rest of these teams, but they just always
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: seem to just bow out in this conference tournament, man,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and not do as well.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: So we will see. All right, then we have the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: matt Ac Conference. Let me see here.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Oh and actually hold on, I was gonna go back
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to what's the conference I just talked about. I will
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: already forget Oh, the Soacon. The entire SoCon is being
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: played in Asheville, North Carolina, by the way, and the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: entire CIA that I just talked about is at in Washington, DC.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So those are all neutral locations, so they could go
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And then for the Soacon, I think it's mostly ESPN games,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I want to say, although I could go back to it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: SoCon twenty twenty six, man, just to get that straight. Yeah,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: ESPN plus, and then the television on network is not determined.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of the ESPN's though for the semifinals.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: In the final, likely I would guess ESPN two, But
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you never know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: That seems to be the.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Pattern that is emerging. All right, the matt Ac Conference.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Let's go to it, man, Oh and I've already taken
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: a look at it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: These are all on ESPN Plus up until the final
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: with ESPN slash ESPN two. I believe the Yeah, this
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: is all in one place. It's all in Atlantic City,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, which is kind of absurd. I believe this
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: conference used to play in Springfield, mass Now, looking at
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: how this conference is set up, it's a fairly straightforward
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: bracketing structure. Tomorrow, the eight through ten seeds play, So
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the winner of Iona and Sacred Heart will play the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: one seed Merrimack seven and ten Fairfield versus Manhattan will.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Get the two seeds Saint Peter's.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But if you listen to me, you know I've been
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: saying that I think Saint Peter's is pretty overrated. Merrimack
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: is the best team in this conference, even though this
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is a week week conference A. Maris could be dangerous
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: because their deepfense is far and away the best in
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: this conference, but their offense is one of the worst,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: So that's the issue. Maris is very imbalanced, Merrimack is
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: pretty balanced. And then Saint Peter's is not the second
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: best team, as I've been saying. Sianna, in fact is
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: according to kuh no wait excuse me, yes, no, it
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: is Cianna.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: No, it's Maris.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Then Sianna very close though according to ken Bomb, then Quinnipiac,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: then Saint Peter's it looks like and then Iona after that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: So basically what I've been saying all year, like, those
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: are the teams I think I have a good you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: read on how good these teams are here and Merrimack
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: their bracket, their side of the bracket is not good, uh,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: because they have to face the winner of Quinnipiac and Marist.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna be easy, dude, Assuming and Merrimack has
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Iona potentially, I think Iona probably gets by Sacred Heart
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and Merrimack might have to deal with them too.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So Merrimack is a very.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Difficult side of the bracket, and in fact, I don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna win it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I would take Cianna.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: This actually is kind of straightforward to me, because I
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: think they're actually the second best team and their half
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: of the bracket is really weak with Saint Peter's being
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: kind of a threat there. But I think they have
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a pretty clear path to be honest, I think Cianna
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: might actually be, yeah, be the team to go with.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Let me see here, Uh, I guess we don't have
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: it on DK here, let me see if we have
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: it here.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: We do have it on Vanduel, FanDuel giving us a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: better stuff.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Man Merrimack is at plus two to ten, dude, so
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you know they're not a They have the best odds,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: but they're not great odds. And then Sianna's at plus
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: three fifty. Marison Quinnipiack are both plus six fifty. Saint
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Peter's plus seven hundred, so that's really telling you something.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Sianna has the better odds. I would take a shot
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: with Sianna. I actually kind of like it plus three fifty.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: This one is kind of clear to me.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Actually, it's just, yeah, all the better teams are all
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: clustered on Merrimack's half of the brackets, so very very
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: unfortunate for Merrimack. You know, I think Saint Peters does
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: get to the final, and then it'll be a tough
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: game against whoever they play in the final, most likely,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: but I think Cianna might be the team that gets
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: it done there. All right, I just want to see,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: like how many of these brackets are settled. Let's see
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: if the Southland is I'm gonna try to get this
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: tournament done here, this video done quick. Yes, the Southland,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: they are ready to go. Man, they drop their worst
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: four teams. Some of the conferences I talked about drop
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: some of their teams. They play an eight team tournament,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: but the top two teams get a double buy. So
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: they actually do like the sun Belt structure, but they
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: have so few teams in it that this actually is
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit better because you know, in the worst
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: case scenario, you gotta win four games in four days
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: for the least of the teams.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But really, this is all about Steven v v Austin
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and MacNeice. I don't think either.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think any other team is gonna win this conference.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: ESPN plus has most of the games until the semi finals.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: ESPNU has some of them, and then ESPN two as
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the championship. This is all in neutral location tournament. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: believe in Lake Charles, Louisiana. But the thing about that is,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I think Lake Charles is actually where MacNeice is, So, yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: that's that's kind of you know, that's kind of bad.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that MacNeice is there, but let me
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: make sure of that. And according to Ken Bond, they
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: are the best team in this conference. They're about twenty
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: ranking spots higher than Steven f.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Austin.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, MacNeice is in Lake Charles, so that's really really
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: absurd that they get to play in their home city
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: as the two seed. But I think they're the best
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: team in the conference. You know, Real Grande Valley is
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: not too far behind them, and then A and m
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: CC is a bit behind them, and then New Orleans
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: behind that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: As far as how good.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: These teams are, New Orleans did beat TCU this year,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: but kind of a weird you know, first game of
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the season. New Orleans probably does get through Houston Christian
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: in the five to eight game, and then I would
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: probably expect Nichols to get through Northwestern State in the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: six seven. But I think Real Grande Valley does get
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: through that gets to play MacNeice. And they actually did
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: scare MacNeice this year, at least once, I think so.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And actually I think they might have beaten MacNeice once.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Actually so Macnice probably doesn't want to see Real Grande
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Valley man, but they might have to.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And then you know New Orleans will play against A
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and MCC.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: The bracket set up I think is a little bit
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: better for Steven of Austin on their side, because Real
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Grande Valley is just better than Ann MCC.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: But that's how it is. The three seeds better than
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the four seed.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: So the top five teams in the conference are actually
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: arranged by their seeding actually correctly according to Kent Bom.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: When do you ever see that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Let's see what the odds are in this conference. Just
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: trust FanDuel here on this. MacNeice is minus one ten
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: and then Steveen of Austin plus one and sixty and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: then you drop down to plus six fifty for Rio
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Gronde Valley plus twenty two hundred for A and MCC.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I would probably take the shot with Stephen f Austin
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: and plus one sixty unfortunately, although I think it's highly
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: likely it's them versus MacNeice in the final, but Stephen
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: F Austin, they beat MacNeice once and they certainly can't
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: do it even though this is in Macneice's home city.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I think MacNeice just.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Does have a little bit more of a difficult side
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of the bracket with RGV there Rio Gronde Valley so.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Not RGB not alright, RGB red, Red, Green, blue, roy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: GBIV al right, the colors of the spectrum, all right,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: big sky?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Do we have that one yet?
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Let me say I think we do, because I think
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the regal season is pretty much over for all these teams.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Let me see, yes, the Big Sky is set as well.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: So they start on the seventh on Saturday, with the
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: seventh through ten teams all play, and that they have
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a similar structure to some of these other tournaments that
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: we've seen, where the playing teams play against the one
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and the two seeds, and then you know, the four, five, three,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: six all play each other, and then it gets normal.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: This tournament ESPN plus for the first couple of rounds,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: ESPN U s plain, ESPN two for the semifinals and championship.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Portland State did get the one seed, but I don't
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: think that they're actually the best team in the Big
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Sky at this point. I think Montana State actually is.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But you know, I've been saying a few different teams
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: could win this, and Northern Colorado is right behind that,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and then Eastern Washington, believe it or not, is right
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: behind that, and then a little bit of a drop
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: off to Idaho. Actually actually not much of a drop
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: off between Eastern Washington and Idaho. Then a bit more
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: of a drop off to Montana and then Weaver State.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: As far as how good these teams are, but it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: a fairly weak conference this year. My guess is that
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Portland State probably doesn't win it, even though they have
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a really good defense. Montana State is much much more balanced,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: so they do have that advantage. But you know me,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I like Northern Colorado. They're pretty balanced as well. Eastern
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Washington is a bit too offense heavy. So how does
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the structure look though, Portland State, Yeah, they are gonna
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: run into probably Northern Colorado. Portland State gets probably an
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: easy game against Idaho State or Northern Arizona in Game one.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: They probably win that, But then Northern Colorado I would expect,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: gets through Montana and then that's gonna be a difficult
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: game for Portland State.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Man. And then we have Idaho and Sacramento State.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Idaho probably wins that, Sacramento State's not good, and then
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: they run into Montana State. Though it'll be interesting. Montana
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: State probably gets through that. But you know, I don't know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: because Idoh is not that bad and Eastern Washington has
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: actually been okay this year doing Weaver isn't even that
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: bad either, So I don't know. Man, this is really
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: kind of a cluster of a bracket. But I think
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: this Montana a state out of the bracket is kind
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: of more up in the air.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would probably say Northern Colorado does have the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: value here because they get pretty much.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna say they're a shoe in
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: to beat Montana, but assuming they do, I think they
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: could take care of Portland State and then get there.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So what do the odds look like here?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Let's see in the big sky, we got an Eastern Washington,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, has the best odds to win
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: it at plus three point fifty. That actually shocks me.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: And then Montana State plus four ten in Northern Colorado
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: plus four ten.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Portland State is fourth at plus four forty.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Then weaber stayed at plus seven hundred Montana plus eight hundred.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: That's really really wild, man, So wow, Eastern Washington, that's crazy,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: But they have to run through Montana State, So I
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: don't know, man, I think I still stick by what
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I said. I think I probably would take the shot
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: with Northern Colorado, though it's very unexpected that Eastern Washington
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: would have the best al although they are the three seeds,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: so I guess that's not that crazy. But I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: five seed Northern Colorado might be a shot to take there,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: but they do have to get through Portland State in
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: dressing conference set up there. This is all a neutral
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: site as well. I believe the whole thing is in Boise, Idaho.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I believe, so yeah.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I mean that might give a little bit of an
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: advantage to Ido State and Idaho, but I don't think
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: neither of those teams playing Boise though Ida State is
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: kind of across the state in Pocatello, and Idaho I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: think is a bit further north in the Moscow.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: All right, what other tournaments we got here?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: We have the good old America East that play on
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the seventh, tenth, and fourteenth, very odd and this tournament
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: does get played at the campus.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Site, so the America I believe the higher seed gets
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a host. Let me see here.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this structure is all set up. It's a
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: very simple eight team tournament. Binghamton got dropped as the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: worst team in the conference. UNBC got the one seed,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Vermont got the two. The fraud nj I T got.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: The three seed. Yeah, nj T being three hundred and
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: thirty first in ken Balm. This is a terrible conference.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: The best team is u NBC at two hundred and
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: kent bomb, then Vermont at two thirty eight. Then there's
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a massive drop off to the rest of the team's UMass.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Lowell is actually the third best team and there's a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: huge drop off of almost one hundred ranking spots in
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: ken Bump. So my guess is either UNBC or Vermont
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: wins this thing. But it's a terrible, terrible conference. And
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: then there is reseeding in this conference, by the way,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: so which I actually forgot uh to see if the
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: does the Big Sky do that too? Let me sing,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I don't believe they do.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: No, they don't.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: That would be Yeah, there's no way they could really
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: accomplish that with that Braggert structure. But yes, the American
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: East does reseeding. So the one seed, assuming UNBC beats
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: New Hampshire or whatever whatever the highest seed is that advances,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: will play the lowest seed that advances, and then the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: other two teams play each other in the semifinals, all
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: that on ESPN Plus and then ESPN two for the championship.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, because NJET is so fraud on
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: in UNBC actually has the third best team you mess
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Lowell on their side. I don't really know if u
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: mess Lowell poses any threat, but you know, maybe there's
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: some value. And looking towards Vermont here, let me see
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: what the odds look like, or I guess we don't
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: have them.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Let me see.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the odds are not out for this
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: conference interestingly enough, so that kind of defeats the purpose
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of this. We don't have the odds for the IVY
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: League either, yet, so I might have to come back
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: just quickly revisit those. Yeah, we don't have the odds
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: on it yet, so we can scratch that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean, oh, that's right.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: We don't care about the side of the bracket either
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: because of the reseeding. So you know it's gonna be
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: either UNBC or Vermont. You know, say U NBC wins,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: either U mess low or all many winning doesn't really matter,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Vermont wins, and then say n j T does get
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: thero main, Vermont would get nj T and then UNBC
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: would get potential UMass Lowell.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Still that's the way it would work out.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: So you know, whoever gets UMass Lowell, I guess has
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: like a kind of a questionable draw.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be U NBC and Vermont in the
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: final there and then it's basically take your pick. Unb
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: C is still the somewhat better team, so I would
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: probably still go with them to win it, but you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: there might be a little bit more value and looking
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: towards Vermont. Uh, so we will say, all right, yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: and of course we don't know who's playing, you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: the Mountain West, the Big Twelve, anything that starts posts
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: like March seventh.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna skip for now. So let me see.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna look real quick to see what else we have.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that in the next next of the
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: series here, so that might be it for this for
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: this video here, and then so I'll probably come back,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess on the tenth or whatever and
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: talk about anything that's starting after. Let me see, do
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: we have any March eighth? Oh, I talked about that too.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: The Sutlands starts on the eighth. Oh, the SWACK starts
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: on the ninth. Maybe I'll do that one and then
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'll get out of here. If we have the bracket
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: already set.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we do.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: The SWACK is awful though. And then March tenth, you know,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: we have c USA. A couple of the huge conferences
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: start then, so I think I'll wait on those because
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: we don't We don't even have the bracket structure for
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: those yet.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So let me see if we do have the SWACK though, Southwest, Yeah,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that one. Let me see.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Wait, I don't want to get rid of kenbomb here.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I can't type either. We do not have the SWACK
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: bracket yet. We don't have the swacket yet. Oh. The
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Mississippi Valley State has already wrapped up the last seed
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: and Bethune Cookman has already wrapped up the one seed.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: But all right, so I gotta wait on that. That's
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: gonna do it for now.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Man, all right, yeah, I'll do this again probably, uh,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: you know a few days or now. Well, I guess
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the day before the swack one starts. I guess we'll
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: come back and start breaking down some of these other ones.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for now. Hopefully this was informative.
