  Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself. We are on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: OWN seven run over the last two days after tonight
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you above that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: slump continuing, two straight losses, not a good day at all.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Own four that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Have not had a good season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Man with bookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: slump continues, I've reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Burn my broins hat.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't know what is going on with the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Bruins arch hape? Is that what it is? I don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: even know it's March ninth, I think who even knows?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Man, I don't know what day is anymore.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what data is anymore. Man, back
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with you after the worst day that I could possibly have,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Back with you as I always am until I die,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: at least oh and two.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yesterday and yesterday it did not go well for me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Own five. The worst month that I've ever had in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: my eighteen years doing this. I don't know what to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: even tell you about this anymore. Slump, the slump discontinuous,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody, It's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: towed back with you TOAs still sports. I was gonna say,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: better off dead again. It's a good thing I did not.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I just way too early running on no sleep here,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: but I had to sleep. When I had to sleep,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I handicapped all the College of Basketball last night. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was gonna do the show. I'm like, I'm not gonna
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: stay up until three am here, said I'm gonna do
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it at six am or whatever.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: No good options here.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: If I want to get everybody called basketball information, I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: gonna have six plays here.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it, man.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Saturday. College of Basketball board is huge. Starts out right
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: away with the noontime slate. We got Yukon and Georgetown
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on Fox at noon. Number three in the country. Yukon
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: at Georgetown. Obviously, Yukon is gonna be a huge favorite
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in this game. I don't really have too many thoughts
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on this, although if you look at Yukon's schedule here.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You could probably make the argument this is maybe a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bit of a sandwich spot because Yukon did just beat
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Seaton Hall. They only beat them by five, but Seaton
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Hall was close to the top of the Big East.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yukon got that win, and next up they.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Do play Villanova, and Villanova is now the closest opponent
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: behind Yukon, so it is definitely possible they overlook Georgetown,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: especially given that it's a second straight road game, a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: third road game in the.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Last four days.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: My hesitation with it would be that Yukon is a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: big favorite in this game against Seaton Hall, and thankfully
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the DraftKings widget is.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Up there now for.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: ESPN. ESPN gives you that now for the games, so
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you come, is a six and a half point favorite.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They didn't cover in this game.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Seaton Hall was down pretty much all game, but they
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: came all the way back and they pretty much got
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: right back into that game in the final minute or two.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna have something to say about
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Seaton Hall in a little while on the show. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: could see it going either way for Yukon, though in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this game for Georgetown, of course, they're gonna show up.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But for Yucon, you could either make the argument they're
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be hung over after a big win against Seaton Hall,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: or you could argue, well, they didn't even cover, they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: had an escape, so maybe they'll show up with more
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: effort this time. I'm kind of leaning towards the former though,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: because you Come wasn't that big of a favorite. That
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: wound up being a pretty big game for Georgetown. Here
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: somebody's revving their engine outside at six point forty in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the morning, revving a motorcycle. I hate people, dude. Georgetown
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: just went to Creighton Georgetown. They had a pretty big
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: game as well there and losing to Creighton on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: road by three. Presumably Creighton was the favorite in this game. Yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they were an eight and a half point favorite. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Georgetown I believe, actually took them overtime in that game
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as well. So Georgetown is coming up the more difficult games.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: That's kind of my hesitation with this is like which
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: team is going to be more likely to show up
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: than the others? So I have to stay away from
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this one. I feel like I'm just rambling early in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the morning. I can't feel anything, man, I got my
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: coffee people will see that Georgetown lost a seat in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the hall at home the game before that. Though obviously
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: people will probably have a tendency to jump on Connecticut
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in this game, and obviously Connecticut's the better team, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of course you I have to lay a ton of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: points with them if you want them here. They're laying
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: eleven down for twelve here. It is a low total
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one forty one and a half. Connecticut. They play slow
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and not exactly the style that you would really want
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to lay points with on the road like this, So
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I guess I have to slightly lean towards taking the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: boys in Georgetown. But no strong feeling on that Big
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Ten network at noon has Minnesota at number thirteen. Illinois. Minnesota.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They got off to a decent start this season. They've
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: lost two in a row, but they're very competitive at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: home against USC and Wisconsin. Although actually they were favored
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: against USC because we had USC in that game and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we got to win outright win on the underdog there.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Minnesota had beaten Iowa the game before that's that was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a big game. And then Minnesota fell short for us
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: against Wisconsin. We had Minnesota in that game, thought they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: would bounce back. It was a horrible.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Spot for Wisconsin.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I thought coming off the Michigan upset, but Minnesota lost,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: although only by three. Now they're going out on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: road to face Illinois. Will Minnesota be tired after playing
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: all these big games in a row, Iowa USC Wisconsin
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: having a big effort in all three. Maybe Obviously they're
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not gonna overlook Illinois. So it kind of comes down
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to will Illinois just be able to run them over Now?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Illinois is not as fast as they were in the past,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so that helps Minnesota a bit because Minnesota wants to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: play really slow. Illinois won't completely push the tempo against them.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Illinois just won their rivalry game against Northwestern, winning by
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: eleven on the road there. They only have Maryland up
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: next to not a big deal for Illinois there, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the spot really isn't bad for Illinois. The money is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: coming in on Illinois up from fifteen to sixteen and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a half here, and you know, maybe Illinois will still
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: kind of try to push the tempo here a little
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: bit to throw Minnesota off a little bit.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: They still play fast than the Minnesota does.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Obviously. I don't really disagree with Illinois in this one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: There's just no real.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Bad scheduling spot for Illinois.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Minnesota could be a little bit tired out there, so
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I'll agree with the market on that with the move
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on Illinois early, but it's not something I want to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: deal with either. Next up, we're gonna have the first
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bet as we go in chronological order. Here, let's go, baby,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be on SMU plus one and a half here.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I heard this game being broken down and I'm like, like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it sounded like it was gonna be a pass for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: me until I looked at it myself and I'm like,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I think we actually want to do this. You might
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: be able to get two on this or fading Virginia
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in this one. Virginia looks like they might go off
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: as a two point favorite and maybe a little bit
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: bigger than that. So obviously get whatever the best numbers
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that you can here. This is on ESPN two. You'll
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: get SMU as a small underdog here. Virginia rank sixteenth
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in the country. I think the public's gonna come in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and want Virginia here, right, because it's basically a pick
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the winner. Well, I'm gonna pick the.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Ranked team, right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That would be their thoughts on this Virginia also two
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: lost teams, so they have the better record. It's not
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like SMU has been bad though, and SMU just dropped
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: out of the rankings not that long ago. Now ken
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Bum does not have SMU as the top twenty five team.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: He's got them already sixth, and their deficiency is mostly
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on defense. So Virginia obviously is the better team, which
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the odds makers are telling me. Virginia is way more balanced.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: But SMU might be able to speed this game up
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Virginia wants to go slower, so SMU
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna try to push the pace a little bit.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That might help them, and they could basically score with Virginia.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's just there is a big defensive disparity. That is,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that's the main advantage for Virginia. They have the better defense,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and usually I do lean towards the better defense, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in this case, I'm not going to them. I'm gonna
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: hope that SMU is gonna speed the game up here.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I think Virginia is in a sandwich spot here. Man.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Virginia just won at Louisville.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That was a big win over ranked Louisville team. A
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Louisville probably was favored in this game at home. Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: they're four and a half point favorites. That big win
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: for Virginia. Now they have to go out to Texas
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to play SMU. Seems like a little bit of a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: weird spot to me for Virginia here and next, even
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: though I know it's not for a week.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Next Saturday, they play North Carolina.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Man, that is a huge game, almost always big when
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you play North Carolina. They're a blue blood, but their
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: ranked team looks maybe a little bit concerning here. This
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: spot for Virginia, I think it's a sandwich spot. SMU
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: still fairly new to this conference as well, so it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a weird travel spot to have
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to go out to Dallas or whatever to play SMU
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and SMU they're coming off barely getting by Virginia Tech.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And if you remember, Virginia Tech was a winner that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we had on the show here. Virginia Tech covered, probably
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: should have won the game, but SMU had a prayer
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: three at the buzzer here to get by Virginia Tech
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and win the game. Virginia Tech, yeah, they covered for us.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The reason why we faded SMU here is look at
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the run that SMU had man they beat North Carolina,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: which was a huge win, and then SMU was in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the rankings, and then what do they do well? They
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: fell out of the rankings pretty fast. They lost at Clemson,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: but they put in a good performance at Clemson.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Then they had to go to Dukes.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So even though they're in a North Carolina sandwich, they
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: still played well against Clemson. I think we took a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: loss on that game on the show or no, it
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was a push excuse me, Clemson pushed for us in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that game, I believe. Then SMU played again really tough
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: against Dukes, so they were gonna have three huge games.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Then they really basically had the flat spot against Virginia
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Tech at home is a favorite, and I think when
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a team is flat like that as a favorite and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they barely get by, they're gonna be focused.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: More often than not in the next game.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And again, you know why we played Virginia Tech in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that game because his SMU was sandwiched in between Duke
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and Virginia. There. They had Virginia Tech sandwiched in between
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: those two big teams, so that was a sandwich spot
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: for them. Virginia is now taking their turn in the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Sandwich spot. So I like SMU coming off the escape.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be more focused here. That's what
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. SMU is my first play here of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go, baby.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: My players are not all in the big conferences, though,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I find the big conference games a little bit easier
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to handicap. ESPN has a noon time game and it
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: is Kentucky and Tennessee, which is a big rivalry game.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And I know both teams look a little bit down
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this year. Tennessee's ranked twenty fourth, but both of these
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: teams are actually not that bad man. They're actually probably
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: both maybe even a little bit underrated right now. Kent
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Bum has Tennessee eighteenth in the country. In Kentucky just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: outside that's off twenty five at twenty seventh, even though
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they've been struggling.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: This will be probably a bit of a pace in contrast.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Because Tennessee is gonna like to slow it down, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that is what they will do at home. Kentucky wants
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to go a little bit faster, although not as fast
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: as they have been in recent years.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Tennessee is the better defense here, although both teams.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Have actually been pretty good Kentucky has the slightly better
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: offense according to ken Bum. Although it is close, these
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: teams are actually somewhat similar. Really, they both are actually
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: better defensively than offensively. Believe it or not, this is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting one man. Tennessee ranked twenty fourth
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in the country according to the rankings makers.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, now Kentucky.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: They just went to LSU and they won by one.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And I believe Kentucky was actually a road favorite in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this game, believe it or not. So they did not cover,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: but they did get by LSU. Maybe they were looking ahead.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Tennessee always a big game. These two teams don't like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: each other. There's the whole whatever Kentucky bourbon versus Tennessee
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: whiskey battle that goes on there. I think Kentucky will
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: show up here, but I think Tennessee will also show up.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Tennessee just beat Texas A.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And M went into two overtimes, though it was not
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: an easy game for either team, although Tennessee was an
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: eleven and a half way favorite, so debatably it should
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: have been an easier game for them.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: But Texas A and M came into that game with
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a good record.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: They still have a good record, So even if Tennessee
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is the better team, it kind of seems like it
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: fell like a big game, you know, and the fact
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that I had to go to two overtimes. Tennessee also
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: has Alabama on deck, so I don't really want any
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: part of Tennessee here either.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I'm passing on this game.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting game to handicap though, and then Tennessee
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: will be a favorite in this game.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're six and a half point favorite.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Looks like no real movement in the market yet really,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: so it's a tough game to figure out. Man. I've
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: heard some professional opinions on the Tennessee side in this game.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I have a slight opinion towards the opposite, just because
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I think Kentucky's kind of the more under the radar
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: team right now. It is their second straight road game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They did just pull off an upset though, or no,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: excuse me, they didn't know. Why do I keep saying
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that was an upset? It wasn't. They barely got buy
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: as a favorite. Tennessee also barely got buy as a favorite,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: although a bigger favorite, but.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Tennessee had to go to double lot.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Tennessee has Alabama on deck, although probably they won't overlook
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a rival at Kentucky, but I think Kentucky is the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: more likely to be fully focused here based on what
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I see in the scheduling. All Right, TNT at noon,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this is our next play man. We're gonna take the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: points with Butler plus six and a half at Seton Hall.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned Seton Hall a little while ago, so
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know what they just did. But the spot is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: worse than just coming off a Yukon game. This is
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: on TNT and True TV here. Now, yes, I know
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Butler plays a bit faster. Seton Hall is gonna want
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to slow this thing to a halt, to a Seaton halt.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But of course you're asking Seaton Hall to lay a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: ton of points. And Seaton Hall is much better on
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the defensive end than the offensive end, and they play slow,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: so they're not exactly the type of team you want
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to lay points with totals one forty five, so it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a pretty low total here, so taking the points makes
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: more sense in a game like this. Butler, they're coming
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: into this game off a pretty ugly loss to Xavier.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They lost by double digits on the road. They've lost
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: four games in a Row, although the prior to three
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: were on the road in a close game against Creighton
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and then they lost their Villanova and Saint John's almost said,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: San Jose, I'm so out of it, Saint John's.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: We all have to I can't forget Saint Yeah, inside,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I want to kill myself.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So those games, I mean, we're against good teams at
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the Big East. So though, yeah, maybe Butler should have
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: performed a little better at home, whatever, but I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Butler's gonna be the more desperate team here. Man. They're
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: one in five in conference. They're quickly just plummeting out
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of the tournament picture. They need to get a win.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: This is a game they might be able to hang
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in against number twenty five Seaton Hall, just because of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the style that Seton Hall plays and the spot. Again,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: look at the spot for Seaton Hall. They just played
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yukon to within five points. So that was a monster
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: game for Seaton Hall. They were way behind in this
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: game and they did not go away. Man, Yukon probably
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: took their foot off the gas.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Thing of the game was over.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: They were up eighteen points close to the middle of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the second half, and then Seaton Hall crept all the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: way back, got to within two points, got to within
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: one point in the final minute of the game. So
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it was a huge performance with Seaton Hall.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: They didn't go away.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And then up next they play Saint John's, which is
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a bigger game as well as Saint John's is quickly
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: establishing themselves again. It is a one loss team in
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the conference, so this will be a bigger game after
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Saint John's coming up.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Butler. I like Butler in this one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Man, the more desperate teams, Seaton Hall is in a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: sandwich spot. We got Butler plus the points in that one.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So two plays in the noon slate there, Tyson, what's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: up man? Thanks for hanging out ridiculously early.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I apologize. I don't feel very good right now.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I'm way out of it. Man. Maybe I should be
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: doing these at night out. There's no good option, no
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: good option. If anybody wants to be to talk about
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: some game that I'm not talking about, I can because
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I am skipping a lot of games here. I've talked
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: about every one of these games so far, though, because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: they're all TV games. I notre Dame of Virginia texts
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: on the ac SEE network. Now, Virginia Tech just played
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: really tight at SMU. That was a big game for them.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Could be maybe a little bit of a hangover after that,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: after you play well as a road underdog like that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and you fall short. I think maybe the move is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to go against a team after that. They play Syracuse next.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Syracuse at least has that established name and as an
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: okay record this year, and then Louisville after that, So
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: maybe Notre Dame a little bit under the radar here,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and Notre Dame not horrible this year, although the record
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't look good. Notre Dame's on a three game skid
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: right now, although it started out on the Pacific Coast.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: They lost to Clemson, no real shame in that, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: then Miami. He's been on fire, So not gonna blame
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame for that, really, Notre Dame. That game is
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit closer though than the twelve point final indicates,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and they do play North Carolina next, so I guess
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you could kind of make the argument. Notre Dame is
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: also in a sandwich spot here, so I'm staying away
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: from a Virginia Tech's actually up to a six point
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: favorite here. Total's fairly long, one forty two. I kind
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of prefer taking the points in that game. But again
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: my weak opinions, Man, don't put too much too much
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: weight into these. Georgia Tech is at NC State here
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: also at noon on the CW network. This is a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: bit of a mismatcher. Georgia Tech is no good. They're
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: coming off getting smoked by Pitt though at home, which
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: was really really bad game for Georgia Tech.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Man, Pitt's not good.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You lose by excuse me, by twenty three. You lose
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: by twenty three at home to anybody, You're probably gonna
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: show up focus in the next game. So at least
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get a focused effort at the very
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: least out of Georgia Tech NC State. There is the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: possibility they overlook Georgia Texas. NC State just put up
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen points against FSU Florida State. That
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was a win. I gave that out on the show
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: last weekend. I believe that was the part of the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: good start to Saturday that wound up not being very
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: good by the end of the day. Florida State was
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in a horrible spot in that game. They just almost
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: upset Duke coming into that game. So it was an
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: obvious fade spot that Florida State was in there to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: me at least, so NC State caught them at a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: good time. Yeah. NC State is good, but you put
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: up one hundred and thirteen points against anybody and blow
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: them out like that by whatever that was, thirty four points,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be feeling pretty good about yourself. And then
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: they have Clemson on deck, so that is a big
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: game as well. So this game, I think is Georgia
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Tech or pass Georgia Tech plus the points. However many
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: points they're gonna hear sixteen and a half total is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit higher in this one in one fifty six,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: so behave accordingly. I suppose CBS Sports gets one of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: these colonial games at twelve, the only colonial game that's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: at twelve between Elon and Astra. Elon, they've been decent
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to start the season. They just took a pretty ugly
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: loss in Northeastern. Elon was, I'm guessing probably a road
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: favorite in this game. Yeah, they were three and a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: half point road favorite here, so not a very loss
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: for them losing to Northeastern. Maybe they were looking ahead
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: because Hostra is near the top of this conference and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: right now It's kind of between Hofstra and UNC Wilmington.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I think as far as who's the best team in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: this conference, Hostra is coming in off a pretty ugly
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: loss as well. They lost at stony Brook. Hostro was
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: definitely gonna be a favorite in this game. Now, Yeah,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: they were six and a half. Now stony Brook I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think stepped up this game because I believe stony Brook
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and Hostre I believe are both on Long Island if
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. So that was kind of a little
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: brother situation for stony Brook where they really got up
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: for the game caught Hofstra by surprise. So I could
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: see Hofstra bouncing back nicely from that in this game.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: But the problem is Hostra had not lost for a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: long time. Man, They hadn't lost since out of conference play.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Their previous loss was December third at Columbia by two points.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that. Man, So Hofs are losing
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to the other New york eras schools. Basically, I don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: love it when a team's on a long win streak
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and they lose the wind streak. I think that can
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: be a bit of a hangover effect where you're not
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: really used to losing anymore and then you lose, It's like, well,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: what do you do? Like, how do you bounce back
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: from that when you're not really used to getting punched
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in the mouth like that? So this game has some
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: things going on here. Man.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Obviously I don't love the game. From a betting perspective.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I'd probably still lean towards laying it with Ostro though,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: because I think, again, you can kind of explain what
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: happened in that last game for them, looks like more
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of a bounce back, but it's a stay away from me.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Next up is on my list of other games. I'm
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: gonna give about six plays, and I have seven other
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: ones that were close to making my card, and this
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: next one up is one of those, So I will
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: clarify if it's one of those, so you can know
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: How I weigh these things.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Duquine at Fordham on the USA Network, A ten action
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: here at twelve thirty PM. I think Dukain is in
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a bad spot here, man. Ducaine, they just played pretty
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: tough against Dayton. And now I know Dayton was only
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a small road favorite here. It was that Ducaine, but
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Dukane they played tough man and Dayton's undefeated in the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: A ten. That's a big game playing against Dayton and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: then falling just short, So that alone, I think could
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: make Ducaine a little bit flat. The game was pretty
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: close towards the end of it, but to make matters worse, well,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Ducane has to go on the road. Ducaine is in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and now they're going to the Bronx, I believe
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: for this game. Up next, they got the best team
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: in the A ten up next man Saint Louis, so
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that is a huge look ahead spot as well.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: So I think this is a sandwich.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Fordham is one of the few teams that's below Ducaine
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: in the standings. Fordham coming in off losing to Saint
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Louis by double digit by twenty two points, although of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: course that was on the road. Saint Louis is very
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: very good. I think Fordham is in a nice position
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to bounce back here. But I also like is that
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they're returning home and they played pretty poorly their last
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: two home games as well, losing both of them, so
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: they actually don't have a conference home win yet, I believe,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: so I think Fordham is gonna be hungry for one.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: They lost to Richmond and George Mason at home, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: those two teams are a little bit better than Ducaine is.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: So I like Fordham in this one. Man close to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: being a play for me. The line has gone from
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Fordham plus two all the way to a pick them,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I would go Fordham pick them. Or if
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you look at the money line market and there's a
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: cheaper money line price than what you're getting on the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: pick them, you could do that as well.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: That's the way that I would.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Play this one. That one is on my short list
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: if you will, not actually on my card, but but
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I do like it. I guess one of my hesitations
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: is that Ducane is kind of hungry as well, perhaps
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: because they also only have one conference win. But other
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: than that, yet it looks like a pretty good setup
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: for Fordham in that one. A Number eighteen Alabama at Oklahoma.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I've talked about every game so far, Man, but most
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: of these games are TV games of big conference games.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Early this is the SEC network at one pm. Probably
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the public's can have a tendency to want to play Alabama.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: They know what they've seen out Alabama the last few years.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Alabama wants to go fast. That's what they do. They score.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: The public likes that Oklahoma's going to try to slow
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: this thing down. Man, They're a slow paced team, so
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they might be able to frustrate Alabama a little bit.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But Oklahoma plays poor defense, so that is kind of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the problem. Oklahoma is actually a much better offensive team,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: even though they play slow. They're better offensively than defensively,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I should say, and Alabama also is better on offensive
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: defense significantly. So ken bum has Alabama second in the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: country in offense. It's seventy first in defense. So a
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: couple of lopsided teams here towards the offensive end. Alabama
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: just broke a two game loss streak. Now I think
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they're lost to Texas. I think was explained because Alabama
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: had lost that big game to Vandy the game before that,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and that was their first loss in a while, so
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I think that was a hangover spot that they were
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in after that against Texas. They bounced back with a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: winner of Mississippi State last time out, but now they're
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: playing a second straight road game, third road game in
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: four games. They have Tennessee on deck, which could be
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a look ahead. That's a bigger game. So even though
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: they had a nice bounce back and that could carry
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: momentum into this game. There are some things that are
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: negatives I think for the spot here for Alabama.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: For Oklahoma, probably.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be hungrier at least for a win because
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: they've lost three games in a row, including losing at
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: home and losing for ROST. I thought they caught Florida
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: on a good spot to catch them in a sandwich spot,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma was not very competitive in that game. Unfortunately,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: now staying at home, maybe we'll get a better effort
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma in this one. I would lean towards
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma in this one. I think they're gonna be the team.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It's a bit more desperate at this point trying to
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: get a win here.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Their only conference wim was at home.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, for what it's worth, they beat Old
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Miss to start conference play.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Obviously Alabama is better than Old Miss.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It Ole Miss likes to play slow, so they weren't
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: gonna try to speed Oklahoma up, which Alabama might. Now
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it's worry some of the totals really high, which might
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: mean Alabama's gonna be able to speed it up totally.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: One seventy six.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But again, part of the reason for that is that
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: both deepfenses are bad, so that's also part of the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: reason why the total is that high. If you like Oklahoma,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you're hoping they're gonna slow the game down a bit.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: They're getting five and a half points. It looks too
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: easy to lay five and a half with Alabama, though,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: so one of those lines looks too easy as well.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I would probably take it with Oklahoma, but yeah, that
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: one is not on my radar really. CBS at one
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: has a big ten game UCLA at Ohio State. UCLA
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: having to travel to Columbus maybe a little bit of
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a weird travel spot for them, although at least for them,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they're already not that far away because they already just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: traveled to Pennsylvania to play Penn State, so UCLA is
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: already in the area adjusted to basically the time zone difference. Whatever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: They beat Penn State. Now they're going to Ohio State.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna overlook Ohio State because
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Ohio State has been decent and like on the cusp
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: of maybe being a tournament team, but they are below
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: UCLA in the standings and UCLA does play per Due
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: next when they come back home in three days, so
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: there is there is the argument to me made. It
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: is a look ahead spot. UCLA is now playing a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: fourth road game in five games, which is not that easy,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and a second straight road game, so not everything about
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the spot is great for UCLA. Ohio State is coming
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: back from the West Coast and took a loss to Washington,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: so you might get a better effort out of them,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: even though they are having to adjust back to the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: time zone here. At least they're coming back home here.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I would probably lead to Ohio State in this one.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: They also they're more in need for some wins here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: They're actually laying up to four and a half now,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: up from three to four and a half, which is
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit worrisome. Laying points in a game against
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a UCLA team that plays slower and probably is gonna
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: come out and play some defense. Is the total there
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: as far as UCLA is concerned. Yeah, they're a little
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: bit more defensive minded. They play slow. Ken Bum actually
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: has Ohio State is the better team. Ohio State plays
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: more of a mid tempo game and is better offensively
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: than defensively, so maybe Ohio State would be able to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: speed it up a little bit and make Ucla a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable, but yeah, I would lay it overall
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: with Ohio State. It also looks too easy to take
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the points with UCLA. Right Like UCLA is the bigger
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: basketball name, they have the better record getting points, it
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: looks a little easy to take those points. Okay, I'm
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: skipping some of these smaller conference games here obviously. I mean, first,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we do have Buffalo in Miami Ohio here in Miami
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio eighteen and oher Man one of the remaining undefeated's. Man,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I think we're down to just Miami Ohio, Nebraska, and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Arizona at this point, I believe are the only undefeated's left.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And one of those things is not like the others obviously,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that is Miami Ohio. They face a very weak schedule,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: but Buffalo is not as good as their start to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Look, they've been taking some losses recently.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Miami Ohio is obviously going to be the favorite here,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: but there is the potential look ahead from Miami Ohio
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to Kent State because that is an Ohio battle. Kent
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: State is the closest team behind them in the standings.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Possible look ahead spot from Miami Ohio there, and of
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: course again Miami o High is not as good as
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the record looks, although neither is Buffalo. Miami Ohio is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a double digit favorite here. Buffalo did just play Kent State,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: so that was a difficult game for them. Now Miami
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Ohio on the road and they play Akronneckt so very
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: difficult run of games for Buffalo here. Man playing the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: top three teams in the conference all one after the other.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: That is not easy. So you could worry about the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: fatigue factor for Buffalo here, so I got to stay
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: away from it. Miami Ohio did drop slightly from ten
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and a half to ten. I would probably lean towards
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: taking the points, but Buffalo is coming off of a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: more difficult game, so I do worry about that a bit.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I just I don't think they're going to overlook Miami Ohio.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, both these teams are overrated, but Miami Ohio
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: has got to be the more overrated team just because
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: they're still undefeated. That's some MAC action there at one pm.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Also at one pm in the Soacon, Chattanooga in Western
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Carolina actually is a little bit interesting to me. Chattanooga
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: just pulled off an upset at Wafford, so I'm looking
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: at it and I'm like, probably want to look to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: fade Chattanooga.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: That was a nice upset of Wafford on the road.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: They have East Tennessee next, who's taught like near the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: top of the conference. So Chattanooga basically looks like they're
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: in a sandwich spot against a Western Carolina team that
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: hasn't done a whole lot for the last who knows
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: how many years, probably since they had Kevin Martin if
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you remember him in the NBA. He went to Western Carolina.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Probably they haven't been good since he was there. So Chattanooga,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that's the spot that they're in here. But for Western Carolina,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're in a very good spot either.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: They just beat East Tennessee so that's a big game,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and they have Mercer up next, and I'm pretty sure
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that Mercer is actually the team that knocked Western Carolina
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: out of the conference tournament last year, so I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that's a big look at spot. Mercer's been okay this year,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: but yeah, so Mercer is the team that ended Western
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Carolina season last year too, so I think they might
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: remember that, so they will be looking ahead to Mercer.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So to me, this looks like both teams are in
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: sandwich spots here, so it's a game that I'm staying
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: away from. Of course, both teams in sandwich spots. It
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: could be a look towards an over. Maybe the total
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: do go up from one nine and a half and
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you think both teams might be a little bit tired.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: It manifests more on the defensive side. Sometimes maybe we'll
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: see this thing get over. That total. Western Carolina has
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: gone up from one and a half to two and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a half for what it's worth. But again, I don't
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: love either side of this really. And then I don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: know if Chattanooga, I don't know if Wafford was any
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: sort of revenge game or anything like that. It looks
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: like No Furman was the team that knocked them out
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of the tournament last year, the conference tournament.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: So that's that game for you.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Two pmslate, we have number two in the country, Iowa
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: State going to Cincinnati on NBC Sports and Peacock for
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: this one. Now, I mean, first glance, you gotta think
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the public's instinct is gonna be well, Iowa State's gonna
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: bounce bat. They've been awesome this year. They have one loss,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and that's what they just took. They just took a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: blowout loss at Kansas. Kansas stepped it up, played really
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: well in that game, and then Kansas did not fall
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: into the letdown spot yesterday unfortunately. Which I'll talk about
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: that in my later morning show when I talk about
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the rest of the sports today, when I get in
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: here and do that probably in a couple of hours. Now,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I talk about this a lot, man, when a team
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: is undefeated this deep into the season, like the public's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: gonna have a tendency to say, well, that was just
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: a blip. Iowa State's gonna bounce back through the way
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: better team here. But I have a tendency to think
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that loss can linger. I'm not gonna start singing the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Cranberrys here, but you can go see my zombie cover
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: that I put out as in my anti war ukulele releases.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I think i Awa State might be hung over here.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Man. Again, when a team's undefeated this deep into the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: season and they finally take a loss, I think a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: lot of times it hangs that team over more than
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like I think that's usually that happens to be more
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the case than the bounce back happens, if that makes sense.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So I think the public looks at this type of
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: thing the wrong way. Yes it was a blowout, yes,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: somewhat embarrassing, but it was against a blue blood program
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: in Kansas, at Kansas where it's really difficult to win,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: as we saw last night unfortunately. So yeah, I mean,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I think i Always State could be hung over here.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It's a second straight road game, third road game in
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: four games. Cincinnati is not exactly a familiar location for
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Iowa State to goal though. Cincinnati has been in the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Big Twelve for a bit now, but they're probably pretty
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: easy to overlook. And Cincinnati's coming in off of ending
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a three game loss Street with a win over Colorado,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and it was not a good win. Now, Colorado is
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: coming off that game where they covered for US against
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and they came all the way back late
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: in that game to cover and almost win the game
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: against Texas Tech. So I thought Colorado would have nothing
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: left in the tank in this game, and it looked
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: like that for a while. Cincinnati was annihilating them in
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: this game. They were winning fifty to twenty nine early
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in the second half here monster lead for Cincinnati, and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: then Cincinnati took their foot off the guests or went
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: completely cold whatever, I don't know. Cincinnati is not a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: good offense, and Colorado crept back into this game, man.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: So Colorado wound up putting in another big effort here
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: for a second game in a row. Is a big
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: underdog here. Cincinnati barely got through this thing. So I
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: think that actually makes Cincinnati more focused in this game.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: And maybe they thought the game against Colorado was over
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and maybe they started looking ahead to Iowa State and
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a good spot for Cincinnati either, because they
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: had covered against UCF, they had this big game against
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Iowa State on deck, so they were in a bit
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: of a sandwich.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Both teams were in a bad spot in that one.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So if you saw my analysis when I broke down
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: that game the other night, I believe that's what I said,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: which is why I passed on the game. Yeah, I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: like Cincinnati, swim man. I think Iowa State might have
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the hangover from taking their first loss, and I think
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get a focused effort out of
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati here. Cincinnati, they don't play slow. They actually play
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: on the faster side. But they're way better defensively than offensively.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what Cincinnati could do here, man, but
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati is a very imbalanced team, but they're really really
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: good on defense. Our top ten defensive team again, pump
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: just outside the top two hundred offensively, and obviously Iowa
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: State's way more balanced, but both teams are better defensively
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: than offensively. I always state kind of a mid tempo team.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati will probably play a bit fast, but the total
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: is low for reason because both these teams play good defense.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: One is, the total probably.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Means that the points will be a little bit more
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: at a premium in a game like this, so taking
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the points makes more sense in that game.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: That's what I would do in that game.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati plus the points would be my lean in that one.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: All right, We got number nineteen Florida, number ten Vandy
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: here at two pm on ESPN. A little bit of
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: an interesting game here as well. I think both of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: these teams are actually underrated right now, as Ken bombas
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Florida tenth in the country and Vandy eleventh, So he's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: got Florida severely underrated. He actually has these two teams
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: flipped in the rankings, but close ranking wise, which is
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: probably why you're not seeing Vandy getting a full home
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: court here. They're only two point favorite, so the oddsmakers
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: are actually also telling you Florida is a slightly better
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: team here, so that is interesting. It almost looks too
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: easy to play the higher ranked Vandy team here. Florida
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: may be still getting a little bit overlooked here, man,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: because they have five losses, but they don't have any
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: bad losses. I mean, they lost to Arizona, Duke yukon
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: all close games too TCU, and then Missouri was obviously
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: their worst loss on the road, But those other teams
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: three out of the four are like top ten teams,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and then the other one not a horrible team in TCU.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Florida's on a nice little run here. They really had
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: a good game last time out against Oklahoma, and when
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I thought was a sandwich spot after Florida beat Georgia
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and Tennessee, they had to go out to Oklahoma with
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Vandy looming on deck, and they still were able to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: take care of business and cover. That shows you something, man,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Florida not getting caught in a bad spot like that,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and probably still will.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Be focused here.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I know it's a second straight road game, but I
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: kind of like Florida and this one Vandy, they're definitely
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: less battle tested man Florida, as I just showed you,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: they had that crazy strength to schedule. For Vandy, their
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: best games are beating Saint Mary's I guess SMU pretty
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: decent win, and then Alabama is like their big legitimizing game.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: So those are the three big wins. Florida has definitely
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: gone through a greater gauntlet than Vandy has. Vandy just
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: took a loss as well to Texas, So this is
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: the problem. Another problem with Vandy exactly what I said
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: with Iowa State, Man, we have another team that just
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: fell from the ranks of the unbeaten. That was Vandy
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: losing at Texas, and again, I think that could actually.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Hang you over a bit. Even though it was a
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: double digit loss.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Whatever, the public's probably gonna have a tendency to think
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Vandy's gonna bounce back here. I look at it the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: other way. I liked Florida in this game. I think
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a loss like that this deep end of the season,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: losing your undefeated status can linger. Sure Vandy will want
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: to show up because I think people still kind of
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: knock them for not having a strong straight the schedule.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: So this would be a.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Big win for them for both teams.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I just think the spot sets
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: up better for Florida. And again the odds makers are
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: telling you that the rankings makers have got this one
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit wrong and that Florida pretty much is
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: way better than you actually think that they are. So
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Florida is the lean in that one for me. ESPN
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: two at two p and we have a Missouri Valley
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: game between Bradley and Illinois State. Both of these teams
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: are Illinois school They're both Illinois schools.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I believe this is a big game for both teams.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Now. Bradley has been one of the better teams in
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: this conference for a while and they are up near
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the top of the conference with Illinois State being a
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: little bit behind them. Bradley coming in off a close
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: call against Evansville Mamor. I think Bradley was in a
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: sandwich in that game. They'd beaten Northern Iowa the game
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: before then, they had Illinois State on decks, so I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: think they overlooked Evansville and they'd already beaten Evansville once too,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: so it was a second matchup.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Had to go on the road at that time.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: In Evansville played pretty well and came close against Bradley,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: so that should focus Bradley more coming into this game
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: because they just weren't focused in that game and they
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: almost got caught. Now Illinois State, though they're also coming
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: off a number of bad performances. Actually they've lost three
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: in a row, losing to Valpo, Illinois, Chicago, and Indiana States.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: They've lost to three teams that are not the better
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: teams in this conference, and Indiana State's a team that
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: had already beaten Maybe they started looking ahead. I don't know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: but I think after a bad run like that for
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Illinois State, I think you're definitely gonna see focus out
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of them here, like they are gonna be in need
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of a win here. And those are ugly conference losses.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the line in this game,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the oddsmakers are really telling you something with this line,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Illinois State, it's a six point favor in this game,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: up from five to six. And like the public, if
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: they look at this game and want some TV action,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: they're probably gonna want Bradley because they might remember Bradley
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: being in the conference championship last year. Bradley has the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: better record both overall and in conference. So it looks
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: pretty easy to take the points with Bradley, but the
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: osweakers are telling you Illinois State is actually the better
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: team here despite their recent lull that they've had, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't disagree. I would lean to Illinois State in
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: that game as well for those reasons. So it's an
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: interesting one. Also at two PM, and man, so many games,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: TNT has TCU and Utah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: It's a Big twelve game.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: It's not the most interesting Big twelve game, but it's
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: on TV and I actually this one was on my
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: radar man as being a close one to making my
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: card here. I like Utah in this game, and really
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: it's almost entirely because TCU just putting a huge effort
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: at BYU in the last game.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of why I'd be looking to.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Fade TCO TCU. Look at their last three games really,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: starting back on January sixth, they took Kansas into overtime
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: on the road, then they had to go to Arizona.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: They couldn't really put up the huge effort against Arizona.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: They did lose by double digits at home. Excuse me.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: TCU didn't play well in that game, but Arizona is
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: an elite team this year. TCU then had to go
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: on the road again into Elevation and played BYU really close.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: So they're coming off a stretch of three big games though,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and this game they were close. In this game against
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: BYU Man, TCU was winning the game early in the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: second half. They didn't go away. They were still within
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: three points in the final three minutes of the game,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and then they just fell a little bit short at
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: the end. And again, when a team falls short like
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: that in a big game, TCU was actually a thirteen
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and a half point underdog in that game. When a
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: huge dog like that falls just short, you know, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: want to look to fade them in the next game
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: because I think they might come out flat here.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: They do have Oklahoma State next.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I know Oklahoma State's kind of trailed off after playing
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: well out of conference.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: They haven't been doing well in conference.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: So maybe not really a total look atge spot there
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: for TCU, but probably Oklahoma State's still probably a bigger
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: game than Utah is.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, Utah has just been down.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Utah doesn't have a conference win yet, they're at the
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: bottom of the conference now. TCU is already adjusted to
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: playing in elevation because both these games are in Utah.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Here BYU in Utah, but it is also second straight game.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: In elevation, so I could see that going both ways.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: And for Utah, yeah, they're coming off a game, a
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: pretty difficult game against Texas Tech where I liked Texas
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Tech to cover in that game and they actually didn't.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Utah was coming off their own really difficult game against BYU.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: That's a big rivalry game, so I thought they were
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be really flat in that game against Texas Tech,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: and they were for a lot of it. Texas Tech
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: was winning by margin, but I think Texas Tech kind
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: of just packed it in or early in Utah snuck in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: in the back door in that game. But I think
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Utah will be more prepared for this one. They're back
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: at home. They did still lose by double digits in
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that last game, is still looking for their first conference win.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I like Utah in this game. This is actually a
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: winnable game for them too. TCU only laying four and
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a half five here in this one down for five
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: and a half total's not that low at one fifty six,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it would be Utah in this game for me, man,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: this one is almost on my card for what it's worth.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: So and you know the public will if they look
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: at this game. The public is not going to be
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: playing Utah. You know that's obviously. They're a team that's
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be avoided by the public. So that's that game
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: for you. Big Ten Network. As Rutgers at Wisconsin at
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: two PM. Rutgers coming off a nice win as an underdog.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: That was a win for us actually against Northwestern. I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: think Northwestern was coming off a big game against Michigan State.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I want to say ann had Illinois on deck, so
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I think that was a big sandwich spot the Northwestern
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: was in. We got the win with Rutgers as a
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: home underdog. Now Rutgers has to go to Wisconsin. You
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: gotta figure they'll still get up for a game against
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: a big name like Wisconsin, though, but they are coming
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: up pulling off an upset Rutgers is and having to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: travel to Madison. Maybe not that easy Wisconsin. They just
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: beat Minnesota, and I thought that was gonna be their
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: letdown because Wisconsin had the monster win over Mission again
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: on the road the game before then in Minnesota almost
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: got the job done. For us and then we'll end
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: up missing by one two points here. As far as
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the cover was concerned, it was a nice road win
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: for Wisconsin in a way because that's still a rivalry
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: game and whatever. But I don't know. To me, I
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: think it was a little still a little bit of
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: a flat performance from Wisconsin here, So I don't know
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna get out of them in this game.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I could see them playing better here, or I could
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: see them not really caring about Rutgers. They played Penn
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: State next, which is not really that much of a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: look ahead or anything. So I don't know what to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: do with this game. I have heard some professional opinions
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: on the Wisconsin side, and ear excuse me, on the
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Rutgers side in this one. Wisconsin up from fifteen and
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: a half to sixteen here. Total's not that high at
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: one point fifty. Wisconsin does play a bit faster than
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: they used to, though, so I don't know. Rutgers. I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: believe plays slow and it's gonna try to ugly it up,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: So maybe if they're able to do that, like probably
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: it's in total or correlated in this one, I think
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin is able to speed it up. They probably will cover,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: but if Rutgers is able to muddy the game up,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you're probably looking at a Rutgers cover here if it's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: gonna wind up being lower scoring. I don't know much
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: of an opinion on the game, man, So yeah, I
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if I want to leave it at that,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know. I just I don't want to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: like give out like an opinion that I don't want
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to give out an opinion that seems strong when it isn't,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I try to relay
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that to people, like just give out all the information
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: that I can hear them, and you know, like try
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: to help people do their own analysis of these games
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: too and maybe think about things in a different way whatever.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: But of course people might see something that I don't
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: as well. That's why we were like pooling information here really,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: you know, although I know I get stubborn when I
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: disagree on on things. But yeah, but yeah, I probably
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: slightly lean to Wisconsin in that game, to be honest,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: because I think Wisconsin's coming off a bit of a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: flat effort where Rutgers just did pull off an upset
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and doesn't have to travel. Next game up is Fox two.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: PM more Big ten action here. Big ten gets a
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: lot of different networks now. Man, they're on Fox Fox
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Sports one, They're on the Big ten network, They're on
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: which I think is associated with Fox Sports if.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: They get NBC Sports and Peacock for some games. Yeah,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: they're all over the place. Man, this is gonna be
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: one of my plays, I believe. Let me say, let
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: me make sure it is. I believe it is.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna be Wait what hold on?
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Why do I not have this list? And in my
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: let me see how many games do I thought I
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: had six? I have SMU Butler see whoa. I apologize, man,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I'm all discombobulated here. I actually have more than six
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: plays here. Holy crap, I was dude, I was so
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: out of it last night. I don't know what I
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: was doing. I have two plays here that I've not
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: added to the system. Hold on, so I think I no,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I have one play? Uh yeah, one play that I
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: haven't added to the system. Okay, so yeah, um yeah,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I apologize, man, I want to just I gotta figure
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: this out. Uh yeah, okay, all right, I think I'm
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: gonna have seven plays if I'm not mistaken here. On one,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I've not added to the system yet, which I will.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Or yeah, one, I've not added to the system, yew,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: which I will when I get to it. Okay, yeah,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: my mistake here, wop. And then let me make sure
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't skip any of these games yet here.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: No, I did not.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: I have two games in the two pm slate here,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: but this is one of my games. We were on
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Indiana minus two and a half here against Iowa.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me see what the line is now here?
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Where are they at? I'm like, that's not the line,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: that's Iowa state. Yeah, Indiana's up from two to two
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and a half here. I know it is a bit
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: of a low total here. I was gonna want to
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: play really slow and ugly this up, but I'm hoping
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Indiana could speed this up a little bit. Indiana wants
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: to go a little bit faster than Iowa does. At
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the very least. Indiana is more of a mid tempo team.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Indiana is still pretty good, man. They're not as good
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: as Iowa, but they're both balanced teams. Indiana is a
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: little bit more balanced, or a little bit more imbalanced
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: towards the offense. I was a little more imbalanced towards
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the deepfense, but they're both balanced teams. I know i
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: aways been unlucky according to kem Bum, which does worrying
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: me a little bit. Indiana a little bit less unlucky,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: but both teams are unlucky and his lucky index, so
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that as well. But really this is
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: all about the spot. Man. We're fading Iowa in this one.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Look at what I was coming off of, dude, after
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: they got upset by minutes. So they've been a little
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: bit I don't want to say they've been spiraling, but
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they've lost both games since then.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: But look at the games they played.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: They had a big game against Illinois, who's a legit
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: team right now, man, and Iowa was down big in
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: this game, and they came all the way back and
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: played them to within four points late in the game.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: So Iowa didn't go away in that game. Then they
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: had to go to Purdue, which is a really difficult
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: place to win, and Iowa didn't go away in this
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: game either. Iowa was actually winning this game early in
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the second half, close game almost the entire way, and
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Iowa was still in this game all the way down
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the stretch down four points in the final minute. Yeah,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: so Iowa didn't go away in either game. They played
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: really close both games. I think this might be the flat.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Spot here, man.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Even though Indiana is slightly above them in the standings,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Indiana is still Indiana. I mean, they have a good
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: track record obviously, but I think this might be the
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: spat of Iowa just runs out of gas here, man,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: after those two huge games, Indiana coming into this one
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: off a blowout loss to Michigan, and I know they
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: were in a Michigan sandwich. They got Michigan up next,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: but Indiana's lost two games in a row and they
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: were to Nebraska in Michigan State. And I think you
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: could explain that loss to Michigan State because Indiana had
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: that tough game against Nebraska the prior game where they
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: could have pulled off that win and they fell short.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: So I think this is more of a bounce back
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: spot for Indiana here. And I see Iowa maybe being
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: out of gas here. So I like Indiana in this one.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I think ken Bom has the number about where the
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: number actually is as well. Indiana is the play in
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: that one. Man. Now let me see as far as
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: my I'm looking at my let me see here we
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: have that one. Yeah, I apologize, I'm still looking at
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: my I have a notepad here, or I just have everything.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I have my notes of like which games are on
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: my short list.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Which games actually made my card?
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Let me see which most of the games that made
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: my card are well, not most of them. I guess
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: less than half of them are big conference games.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That's my last big conference game.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Actually, I have three early ish big conference games, and
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the rest of my games are not. Okay, but yeah,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just making sure that I have everything in the
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: system here. I've six and then I know what my
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: seventh play is because I have it in my notepad here.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: So I just remember to talk about that game. Okay,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I think we got it. The next game up is
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: my next play, by the way, and it is unc
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Ashville plus the points. So we're going with this one
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: too against Winthrop. This is a spot man. This game
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: is on ESPN Plus if you want to watch it
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: at two pm. Winthrop, I know they're better than the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: record looks, and I said that going into their last
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: game because that last game it looked really easy to
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: play High Point in that one Mancus High Point has
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: dominated this Big South Conference last couple of years, probably
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: should have won the conference both years, and they only
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: won it last year. But Winthrop is a very under
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the radar team right now. Man, They're a solid team.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: They played a difficult out of conference schedule, playing Nebraska
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: pretty close, Arkansas pretty close. This is a legit Winthrop team,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna fade them here because they just demolished
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: high Point in that game.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: And I gave up Winthrop as a lean in that game.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I liked it because Winthrop was actually either a really
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: small dog or a small favorite in this one. I
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: forget they were a small dog here. So the Oswiggers
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: are really telling you something that Winthrop not that much
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: worse than high Point and they got the job done.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: And that was a huge win because not only did
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: they beat high Point to pull into a tie with
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: them atop the Big South, high Point was the winner
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: of the conference last year. They've been the best team
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: in the conference last two years. So huge win for
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: all those reasons. But also Winthrop lost to high Point
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: in the conference championship last year, so that was a
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: huge win for Winthrop for that reason too. First time
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: facing high Point since losing to them in the conference
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: championship last year. Big time revenge for Winthrop. Beating the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: team that ended their season last year. That was huge
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: for Winthrop. Man, So Winthrop got that job done. But
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: now they're playing unc Asheville and oh yeah, guess who's
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: turn it is to be in the revenge role here? Yeah,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: that would be unc Asheville because Winthrop knocked you unc
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Asheville out of the Big Ceuth Tournament last year in
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the semi finals of the tournament. So now unc Asheville,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I think, is gonna be the avenging team in this
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: one and want revenge here. And they actually beating U
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: and c Ashville in the regular season in March as well,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: so maybe a little bit of double revenge there. And
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Winthrop did lose to them on the road here where
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: we have the game today. By the way, Winthrop did
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: lose in this arena last year, so interesting to note.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: But now you un cee Asheville has a little bit
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: of double revenge. The big revenge that matters, man, is
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: that they're the team that beat Winthrop, is team that
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: beat them in the conference tournament. That's the big thing.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: And you would see Asheville is a bit down this year,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: so they look pretty easy to overlook in this conference
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: right now. And Winthrop has Radford next, And by the way,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Radford is the only other one loss team in the
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: conference right now besides Winthrop and High Points. So this
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: is a sandwich spot. I think they might look ahead
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: to Radford here a little bit. So this spot, yeah,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: to me, it's you. It's all you Wu and see
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Asheville for me in this one, man, unc Ashevial's coming
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: out of a loss to Presbyterian.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: It was on the road, it wasn't a great.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Loss for them, and you Wu and see Asheville had
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: beaten Radford on the road the game before this. Unc
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Asheville was really good in the game against Radford is
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: a pretty big underdog. I would assume in that game
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: they pulled off a big win, and I think that
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: put them in a sandwich spot, man, between Winthrop and Radford.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: So I think you unc Asheville kind of got caught there.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: They lost to a not great Presbyterian team. I think
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: you would see Asheville might have been looking ahead here.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: They're gonna show up in my opinion for this game
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: against Winthrop, the team that ended their season last year.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: That's what we're going with unc Asheville plus the points,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: even though I think Winthrop is not as good as there.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I think Winthrop is excuse me, better than They look
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: better than the record looks, and I think you would
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: see Asheville might actually be not as bad as the
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: record looks either. Ken Bum doesn't have them great, but
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: he does have them as a an unlucky team. He
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: has them playing slow. He has them as a balanced
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: team at the very least, so the balance in below mediocrity.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: He's got Winthrop outside the top one hundred though. Winthrop
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: is a more imbalanced team though, and they're bad defensively,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: although still better than Asheville I think, but Winthrop is
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: pretty weak on the defensive end. Man, Both teams are
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: low and ken Bump's luck index, so they're both unlucky
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: right now. But Winthrop goes a little bit faster. They're
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: mid tempo unc Asheville. The hope is that they're gonna
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: ugly the game up and slow it down. Total is
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: not that low though, in the one fifties, but I
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: think the spot definitely is shouting to me for unc
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Ash in that one. So I like.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: It all right A.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Rider at Saint Peter's kind of caught my eye when
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I was looking at these games because Ryder they just
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: pulled off a big upset man at home against Iona.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Ryder is really really bad in the matt Act this year.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: They're in a nept team pretty much, and beating Iona
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: is pretty crazy. Even though it wasn't home whatever, I
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: own A probably overlooked them, but Iona has been They're
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: usually one of the teams that's in the mix to
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: win this conference every year, so that was a big
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: win for Ryder. Now they're gonna go on the road
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: to Saint Peter's coming off that big effort. Now the
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: question is can Rider put in a big effort two
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: games in a row. That is the question, because I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna overlook Saint Peter's, who's now sitting
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: atop the matt Ac Conference and has won it two
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: of the last like five years or something, so Rider
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: probably won't overlook them. I think both teams are in
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: New Jersey as well, if I'm not mistaken, so there's
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: a little in state sibling rivalry here as well. With
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Saint Peter's. Basically, probably the role of the bigger brother
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: as well. I believe that's the case, But the question
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: is can ride or maintain the effort? Man? Oh yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: so that's in Jersey City. Now. The fact that Ryder
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: got their first conference win and broke a long losey
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: streak and that was actually their first Division one win,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: that's actually kind of big, Like sometimes that will help
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: propel you forward, right, because it's like there's this monkey
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: on your back. Oh my god, we don't even have
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: a Division one win yet, And then once you get it,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it's almost like a relief, like that's off your back, right,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: and you could start playing looser. So there are positives
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: here for Rioder despite coming off a pretty big upset win.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Saint Peters is also coming off an upset though. They
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: went on the road and they upset Quinnipiac after beating Merrimack,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: and they have Iona next and then Merrimack again. So
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: this is sandwiched in between better teams than the conference. Man,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: So they're in a sandwich spot here, And the last
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: time they were in a spot like this, I gave
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: out a play on Mount Saint Areas and we got it, right,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: We got the win with that one. So I would
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: actually probably need to rideer in this game. I know
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: it's very very ugly. I don't want to do it
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: just because they are coming off a big upset. But
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Saint Peter's is in the more difficult spot. They're down
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: from eleven to ten and a half. Here, we're asking
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Saint Peter's to cover a big number here, man, and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: these teams, You're probably not gonna see a lot of
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: scoring in this game, So asking Saint Peter's to win
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: by double digits is a pretty big ask. One hundred
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: and thirty five and a half is the total. It
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: has gone up, but it's still pretty low total. So
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: that's the information on that one. Syracuse is at Boston
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: College on the ACC network. We're still in the afternoons
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: late here after an hour, man, Man, these basketball shows
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: take forever. Syracuse is coming up beating Florida State, not
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: a big win for Syracuse going on the road to
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: face BC, though Virginia Tech, Miami, NC State on deck.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Those might be bigger games than be I mean, BC
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: is down right now, so potential look ahead for Syracuse there,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: PC coming off losing pretty ugly to Louisville and Clemson
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: coming back home where they lost NC State, although they
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: played decently in that game. Yeah, I would prefer BC
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: in this game if I was gonna play it, But
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: no strong opinion on this one at all.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Syracuse up from five and a half.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: To six totals in the one thirties, so it's low
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: so points at a bit more of a premium in
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: that one. So those are my thoughts on that. Not
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of thoughts there. The Summit League has
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: the top two teams in the Summit facing off and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: it's not a TV game, Saint Thomas at North Dakota State.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: These are both, like almost definitely the best two teams
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: in this conference. One of these two teams should win
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: the conference when all of a sudden done. I'm kind
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: of rooting for the Tommy's just because you know, North
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Dakota State has done it before. Saint Thomas is kind
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: of new to Division one, so and for Tyler heroes,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: you know, waiting on a hero to save them whatever,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: But they're the newer team to the Division one in
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: general and have never won the conference before. So the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: way this sets up, neither team is really in a
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: bad spot. And I think Saint Thomas just beating North Dakota.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: They're playing a third straight road game, though, so that
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: makes it, I guess a little bit more difficult. North
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Dakota State just beat one of their rivals, South Dakota State.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Or though celt Dakota State's a little bit down this year,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: adsmakers are telling you St. Thomas is the slightly better team.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: North Dakota State down for two and a half to
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: two here. I guess I'll agree with the market reading
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: LEAs slightly towards Saint Thomas in that one. But it's
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: difficult to play a third straight road game, man, so
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay off of it. H In the IVY League,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: we have perhaps maybe the two top teams in the
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: IVY this year. I don't know, because Yale is definitely
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: the top team in the IVY. Cornell is okay, but
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: they just don't play a lot of defense. The Cornell
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: is off to an zero and two star in conference, man,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: but I think they were a favorite in both games
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: against Columbia and Dartmouth. Let me see, yeah, they were.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: So Cornell has lost two games a favorite so far,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: and kind of an inexplicable loss to dat Meth, who's
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: currently at the top of the eye. Make no mistake
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Dartmouth unless we have the power at his way off here,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Dartmouth is not the best team in this conference. Cornell
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: taking that loss is just bizarre. Cornell is just very
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: bad on the defensive end. Man, so that was an
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: ugly loss. Maybe they were looking ahead to Yale, so
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: they should show up against Yale. Problem is, Yale is
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: coming off an ugly loss on the road to Princeton.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Yale is not played at home yet. This is their
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: conference home opener, so they should show up as well.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: That was an ugly loss man Princeton. Even though they're
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: two to zero conference, they're not that good this year,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: so we'll see. They might be one of the better
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Ish teams in the IVY still, but that was not
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: a good loss for Yale Man Yale. Let me see,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: it was a seven and a half way faise in
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: this game, so not a good loss as a favor
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: for Yale. So I think both teams should show up
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: in this game. Yale's down from nine and a half
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: to nine total is pretty high, although it's down to
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: one to seventy six. But you're looking at it again.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Cornell likes to go fast. They don't play defense. Yale
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: is also actually very bad in the defensive end and
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: top fifty team offensively, So Yale very very weird team
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: and where they play slow, but they also don't play defense,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: so I don't really hate the idea of an over
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: in this game. And the total is way high for
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: a reason. You know, I don't know which one of
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: these teams is coming up and more disgusting loss.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: To be honest a lot. I'd probably lean to Yale
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: just because.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: It's their conference home opener and they are still the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: better team. They're laying nine points for a reason here,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: so that's probably the way I would lean in that game,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: although their overall record does make them look like the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: better team anyway, which they are.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: So that's that game.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. Princeton is of course at Havevid. Princeton is coming
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: off that upset of Yale. That was a big upset
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: for Princeton. Man, now they have to go on the road,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: first conference road game to HAVEVID, and Havid just won
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: at Columbia though, so Harvard probably was an underdog in
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: that game. They just pulled off an upset as a
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: road underdog. So both teams coming off upsets. Although I
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: think Princeton's upset was bigger because it was Yale, and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Yale's won this conference. Last couple of years, Columbia hasn't
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: been relevant in this conference, even though they started off
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: good in the out of conference last year, they proved
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: that they were not legit when.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Conference I started last year.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Columbia looks a little bit more legit this year, but
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: I would probably lean to Harvard in this one.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: They're laying four and a half.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: It's a low total though, one thirty two, so points
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: at a premium in that one, but I probably would
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: slightly lean towards Harvard and that one with Princeton coming
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: off the bigger upset. Also at two pm, East Tennessee
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: at Samford in the Soacon is on CBS Sports. East
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Tennessee I think is still the best team in this conference.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Samford is a little bit down from where they were
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. East Tennessee is coming up
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: that upset loss to West Carolina Western Carolina, so they
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: might be up for this game. Man, that was kind
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: of a bad loss so though it ended a four
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: game win streak for them, so they could be hungover
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: as well. Like when teams lose win streaks sometimes they
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: are hungover, but they could bounce back here because that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: was kind of an ugly loss, and maybe they were
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: even looking ahead to a Samford team that's been pretty
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: good in this conference the last couple of years, although
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: not really this year.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Samford is coming up a more difficult game.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Against Furman, who is one of the better teams of
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: this conference as well over the last few years and
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: remains that way this year. Furman was a small favorite
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: in that one on the road. That was a tough game.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: So I think Samford is coming up the more difficult
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: game here. Sure, they're going to try to get up
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: for a game against the top team in the conference,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: East Tennessee, although Furman is actually slightly above them right
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: now in the standings, I think to sees a little
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: bit better. Still.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: East Tennessee did drop.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: From four to three here though, so the early market
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: move is towards the Samford side, but I kind of
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: disagree with it. I think East Tennessee isn't a bigger
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: bounce back spot off an ugly loss that should refocus
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: them more. So I would slightly lean towards East Tennessee
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: and that one. Kyle, what's up Man? Yes, I apologize,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. It's just way too much for me
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: to get to. Man, I just I couldn't do it
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: last night. I'm like, I can't stay up until three
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: thirty am. Man.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm way too old now.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't do it.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: And now I'm doing this, and then I have to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: come back and do my normal Saturday morning stream right
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: after this, which hopefully will be a lot shorter because
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: it won't be college basketball because I'm doing that all here,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm planning on doing that around nine to thirty
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: am Eastern.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: This show should be done within the next hour. I hope.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Let's try to get it done. Remember still in the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: afternoon here. My next play is about to be up here.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Next best bet for you, We're gonna be on Delaware
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: plus the points here. I have to rearrange these, by
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: the way, because I've already given out four plays, Kyle,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I apologize again. I have three more. This is one
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: of the remaining three. Delaware plus four and a half
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: is the play for me in the Conference USA against
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: I think the spot is bad for New Mexico State.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Man. New Mexico State probably actually a little bit better
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: than they look.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: But I don't like the spot at all.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're coming off playing really all the top
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: teams in the conference, playing on the road against Missouri
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: State to within seven. Justin's Missouri State team. They're near
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the top, and literally the teams the top four teams
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: in the conference standings conference standings right now are literally
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: the last four teams. New Mexico State played on the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: road at Missouri State, coming to within seven. They beat
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Western Kentucky at home, home, stayed at home, and they
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: lost barely to Middle Tennessee, and then they went on
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the road again and they took Liberty to the wire
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: and Liberty was a double digit favor in that game.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Liberty is the team to beat in this conference at
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: this point. Man, that was a monster game for New
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Mexico State. But again three excuse four big games in
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: a row with big effort at all four, I think
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: this has got to be the flat spot here. Second
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: straight road game coming in against Delaware, who's literally at
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the conference standings, probably won't pay attention,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: and up next to New Mexico State as Missouri State
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: again at home, and that's gonna be revenge because they
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: just lost at Missouri State and it's the team it's
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: fourth in the conference standing, so that's a big game
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: as well. To me, this looks like a big time
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: overlook spot, and for Delaware, they're gonna be the team
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: that's looking for a win. Man. They do have one
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: win in the conference, but I think they're gonna be
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: looking for another. They could have had the win against
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: UTEP in the last game. UTEP is the only team
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: in the conference pretty much that's basically as bad as
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Delaware is, and Delaware couldn't get it done in that game.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: So I think Delaware staying at home New Mexico State
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: coming in. Yeah. I know Delaware does have Liberty next,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: but when they've lost three in a row, I don't
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be looking ahead to anybody. Man, especially
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: after losing to a pretty ugly UTEP team. I think
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Delaware is gonna show up for this one. We don't
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: need them to win. They got to cover it. I
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: think they can do it. We're taking the points with
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Delaware in this one. You can actually get five on
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: this now, and it is a low total as well,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: at one thirty five, So points look like they might
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: be at a bit of a premium in this one,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: which is good for taking the points. Now for Delaware,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: they're at least better defensively than offensively. They're not a
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: good team, but ken Bum has them in the bottom
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: like sixty something in locks, so they're an unlucky team.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: They play really slow. They're like bottom twelve or thirteen
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: in tempo, so they're gonna slow this game way down
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: and ugly it up.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: They play okay, I.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Guess defensively at the very least, so their defense is
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: better than their offense. And New Mexico State slightly better
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: defensively as well, although they're more of a balanced team.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: But New Mexico State also an unlucky team, by the way,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: and they also do play slow. So I did say
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State is better than the record looks.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: I know that, but.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: You can kind of say that for both of these
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: teams on the spot is just really bad for New
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Mexico State, as I just showed you, so Delaware is
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: one of the plays that we have here on the
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: board today.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: On the card.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Let's say, so, yeah, that's that's it. They're both teams
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: playing slow. Delaware playing especially slow hopefully means it's going
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: to be a grind, a low scoring game whatever. C
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: W at two fifteen pm as Miami and number twenty
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: two Clemson. Ind a weird start time here, man, Hopefully
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: I can get through all these games. Man.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Miami's playing well, man. I mean, they're undefeated in the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: ACC right now. I haven't faced the most difficult conference
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: schedule yet, though they faced a pretty weak one. In fact,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: they did just beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame was kind
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: of close in that game for a while. Maybe Miami
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: was looking ahead a little bit. They're not going to
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: overlook Clemson, though, and you know, Miami, especially because they
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: didn't even play that well against the Notre Dames, so
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: that might focus Miami a little bit more. Clemson is
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: staying at home. I doubt that they overlook Miami, although
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: they do play NC State next, which is kind of
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: a big game. But Miami is right behind them in
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: the standings. Man, so I don't really see Clemson overlooking Miami.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: But Clemson is the better team still. The team is
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit more battle tested. They're up to a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: four and a half point favor from four. I'd probably
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: have to lean towards Clemson in this one. Again, I
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: think Miami they got to show us something. Man. Clemson
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: has at least played SMU there in conference play. I
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: think they had a more difficult out of conference schedule
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: as well. But we can look and see what kem
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Bom has to say about that real quick. Clemson's based
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: a fifty fifth or excuse a fiftieth most difficult schedule,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Miami two forty eighth. So there is a pretty big
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: disparity in the strangth the schedule. So non conference schedule,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: especially CLEMSES was more difficult than Miami's. So Clemson is
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: definitely the more battle tested team there. That's probably the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: way I would lean. Foxfords won as an interesting Mountain
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: West game with number twenty three Utah State at Grand Canyon.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Utah States is definitely legit. They have one loss on
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: the season on the road against South Florida. Yeah, they're
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: out of conference schedule was somewhat weak, of true. They
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: played a couple of good mid major teams in there, though,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: and they've been playing well in conference Man, and now
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: they just beat Nevada, which I think Nevada was fairly
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: close in that game against Utah State. Nevada put up
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: a decent effort there, So Utah State maybe coming out
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: of a little bit of a scare here, but playing
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: a third road game in four games maybe not that easy.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyons new to this conference, so it's not that
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: familiar with a venue for these conference teams to have
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: to go play. And Grand Canyon likely will be up
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: for this game, man, because they're new to the conference
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: and they know they have the best team in the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: conference coming in. Grand Canyon was just on the road
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: at New Mexico, absolutely not an easy place to go, man,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: and they lost by twenty three New Mexico. Yeah, I
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: mean the pit. It's one of the tougher venues at
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: college basketball to play in, although it's tougher for non
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: high elevation teams to go there, and Grand Canyon is
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: at least pretty used to playing in high elevation. They
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: do have San Diego State next, so it's a little
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: bit difficult that they have three big games in a row.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: But I do kind of expect them to show up here,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I kind of lean that way to Grand Candon.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: I just think it's kind of a weird spot for
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Utah State even though you could argue they're gonna be
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: refocused every the Nevada game. They're down from six to
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: five and a half here. I would lean that way
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: with the initial market move there towards Grand Canyon, but
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: no strong opinion on that game. Okay, we have another play.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Most of my players are in the afternoon.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Man, we have one like later play for me, but
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: everything else is earlier. This is the one I forgot
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: to add as a banner, so I'm doing it now.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: We're going into the Missouri Valley for this one here,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: where my Missouri Valley.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: Results have been kind of mixed, I know, but it's
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: it's a.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: More competitive conference, so it's kind of easier to find
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: good spots in this conference than in other games. We're
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: gonna be on Northern Iowa minus two here or I
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: guess actually money line might make sense in this game.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: As I always say, the professionals will tell you, although
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: they look like they're almost two and a half here,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: now they're out from one and a half to two
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: to two and a half here. The professionals will tell
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: you if you have a one, one and a half
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: or two point favorite, it's actually more positive expected value
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: to actually play the money line on it, although it
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: depends what money line you can get on it. Let
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: me just see what the money line is that we
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: can get on this. Should we play the money line
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: or should we just lay the two?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Is the question?
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Let me say, uh, where are we at here with
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Northern Iowa. I don't have it in my in the
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: system here either for me. Let me see. I believe
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: I have all the other plays in here though, although
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I apologize, man I
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: mess up. I have Indiana Butler, Delaware, let me see
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: unc Asheville, yep, SMU, and then I have my last
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: one that I haven't talked about yet. And then I
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: don't have Northern Iowa in the system. So I gotta
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: add that right now. Let me do that.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know how. I'm looking at Action Network and
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Have this this team listed for Northern Iowa and Iowa. Yes,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, they're minus two and a half in
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: most spots. I see a stray too. At Caesar's in Massachusetts.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: I see a one and a half with only minus
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: one thirteen juice at Bally, So that's not bad either.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: In Bally, you know Alli does have a pretty good
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: money money line on this at minus one twenty nine.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm actually gonna do for this one,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: bally Bet Baby. They're new in Massachusetts and they seem
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: to be one of the one of the stragglers that
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: straggles behind. So I'm gonna do it this way. But
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: if you want to lay the points, you could do
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: that as well. But I like the spot here, so
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go money line on Northern Iowa here. I
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: think the spot sets up well for Northern Iowa in
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: this one. Northern Iowa was coming off a really really
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: hideous loss at home to Illinois Chicago. Illinois Chicago has
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: been pulling off some weird like good performances in this conference. Man,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Illinois Chicago has been around. Man, They've been I think
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: in the horizon for a while. Now they're in this conference.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Northern Iowa was a six and a half point favorite
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: in that game and they lost outright. It was a
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: bad game for Northern Iowa. I think they had a
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: horrible shooting game. I know I haven't been diving into
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: the box scores, but they were awful shooting in this game.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine percent from the floor Illinois Chicago fifty three percent,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: only thirteen percent from three for Northern Iowa. Though both
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: teams weren't hitting any threes in the game, and Northern
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Iowa had a horrible turnover rate. They were minus five
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: and turnovers, So that's one of the main reasons they
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: lost that game. But they were coming off playing Belmont
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: and Bradley Man, and they'd come off that big game
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: against Bradley So for whatever reason.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: I think they just kind of got caught there.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: Now they're gotta go on the road to play Valpo,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: and I know they already beat Valpo at home in
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: an ugly, low scoring game. I know, but I don't
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna overlook Valpo this time, even though they
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: do have Illinois State Murray State up next. You can't
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: overlook teams when you lost three games in a row, Man,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: So I think Northern Iowa was actually gonna show up
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: after that ugly game. And for Valpo, even though it
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: is revenge here, Northern i was falling to fifth in
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: the standings here and look at what Valpo just did.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: They just took Belmont to the limits. So Northern Iowa, excuse,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: you have Valpo excuse me. Valpo just beat Illinois State.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Then they played Murray s to within thirteen on the road.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Murray State's been good this year as well, and that
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: game was close down the stretch too. Valpo is within
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: four points with less than three minutes to go in
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: that game, it looks like so that was a big game.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Then they turned around and they took Belmont almost to
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: the limit in their last game, and Valpo could have
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: won this game. This game was tied in the final
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: minute of the game, so Valpo almost pulled off a
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: huge up set against what I think is the best
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: team in the conference. Belmont as eleven and a half
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: away an underdog, So I really don't like the spot
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: for Valpo here, even though they did already lose on
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: the road to Northern Iowa. I'm not gonna be on
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: the in season revenge spot. In every situation, man, revenge
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: is only one factor. Sometimes it's a small factor, and
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's the case here. I just think the
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: setup is way better for Northern Iowa here, So that
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: is my play in that one. The money at least
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: seems like it's kind of agreeing with me early on.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: I know it's a very low total one twenty nine
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: and a half. We're looking at teams that don't score
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: a lot. Let's just put it that way. On Northern
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa was almost in the top one hundred and ken Bump.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: They're very good defensively thirtieth, very weak offensively, but they
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: also play one of the slowest tempos in all of
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: college basketball.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: Valpo is also slow based team.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Valpo also weak offensively, decent defensively. So yeah, it looks
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: like one of those games is gonna be ugly and whatever.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: But we're really just asking Northern Iowa to win the game.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: I literally we are if we're only asking for the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: money line there. So that's what we're gonna go with there,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: Northern Iowa. All right, we got Drake at Illinois. Chicago's
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: again to the three pms here, hopefully not too much
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: left to talk about here. Drake just pulled off an upset. Man,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: They're coming up a couple of big games in a row.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: They took Belmont to the limit, and that's why here
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: on the show we faded Drake and they pulled off
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: another upset even though Southern Illinois was blowing them out
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: in that game. And I think Southern Illinois under the radar,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: and Southern Illinois had been kind to us the first
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: time we played them. The Salukis didn't get it done
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: for us in that one man and they really really
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: blew it, but Drake wound up pulling off the upset.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: There now a second straight road game, and Drake does
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: have Murray State next, so it looks like a bit
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: of a sandwich spot here for Drake in between all
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: these bigger games. But obviously, like I just said, Illinois Chicago,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: they're coming on an upset themselves, a big upset on
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: the road at Northern Iowa, so I don't know what
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have left in the tank either. Although you
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: probably don't overlook the team that won the conference last year, Drake,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: So I actually probably do lean to Illinois Chicago in
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: this game, but I don't like the spot for either team.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: They're up to three and a half to three with juice,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Illinois Chicago actually favored against Drake.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Total's gone up a little bit to one forty and
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't hate the idea of I don't
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: hate the idea of an over in that game just
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: because I think both teams are in bad spots. But
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: it does have the makings of an other game as
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: well though, and we'll see what happens.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Man, Because the Drake is not on my good side.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Right boy, I'm really starting to dislike the Drake. I
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: hate the Drake, all right? Next up, what am I
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about here? Quinnepiac and Merrimack is a good
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: game in the matt Ac Conference. Also at three pm,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Quinnipiac just lost to Saint Peter's at home, So Quinnipiac
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: got upset.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: That was an ugly loss.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: They're probably gonna show up with a lot of focus
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: here after a loss like that. I know Saint Peter's
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: is atop the conference now, but Quinnepiac was.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: The favorite in that one.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: Merrimack also lost to Saint Peter's though in their last game,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: but that ended along wind streak for them. That was
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: on the road. I believe Merrimack has had more time off.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: Let me see, Actually maybe not. That was Wednesday. Oh no,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: that was Quinnipiac played on my say, so I think
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: I'm right, yeah Merrimack. Yeah, they haven't played since Sunday,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: so Merrimack has more time off at least than the
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: more rested team here kind of. I don't really look
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: at the rest that much in these college basketball scenarios.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Quinnepiack is a favorite on the road minus two their
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: favorite for a reason.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Man, They are the better team.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: People. When I look at this and think that maybe
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: there's some value in grabbing Merrimack at home because they
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: have the better conference record, but I probably need to
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: Quinnipiac here. Losing at home to Saint Peter's is uglier
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: than losing on the road to them, especially because Quinnepiac
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: is actually the better of these two teams. So that's
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: the way I lean in that one. All right, What
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: else do we want to talk about here? Man? Jacksonville
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: and North Alabama as we get we have a sun
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: going on here. Jacksonville just lost at Central Arkansas and
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: came to the two points of them in Central Arkansas
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: is actually a big favorite in this one seven and
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: a half, so Jacksonville could be in a.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: Little bit of a hangover here.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: North Alabama just lost horribly at home to a really
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: bad North Florida team that's literally at the bottom of
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: this conference. That was a horrible loss for North Alabama,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: although they do have Queens next and Queens. My guy,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: the coach who follows me is up near the top
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: of the conference right now. I don't think North Alabama
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: can overlook anybody right now after such a horrible loss
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: to North Florida. So I like North Alabama in this game,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: and you're asking Jacksonville to play well as a big
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: favorite two games in a row like this, probably not
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, or actually Jacksonville's excusely as an underdog.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville is actually a favorite now.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on with that, because
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I was assuming they were gonna be a dog in
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: this game and they were a three point dog. Now
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: they were a three point favorite. I don't understand why
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: that's the case. So there might be some personnel stuff
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: going on. But I still like North Alabama and that one.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Whatever's going on, I'm gonna assume it's an overreaction. Then
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: in that case, I would prefer North Alabama in that
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: game plus the point. Now in that case, all right,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: what other games that we want to talk about here?
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see, we got SEC I'm talking about the TV
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: games at the very least, even though we're still in
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. Missouri at LSU in dressing game on SEC
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: Network at three thirty pm. Missouri coming off beating Auburn.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: Auburn's down, but they still have that name recognition around them,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: so decent win for Missouri there. They do have Georgia
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: up next, so I don't know if that's a potential
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: look ahead. Maybe LSU is kind of following off since
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: conference play started. LSU doesn't even have a win in
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: conference yet, so they looked good out of conference, but
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: they played a week out of conference schedule, so the
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: real LSU is kind of showing up here. LSU just
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: played well against Kentucky. They actually played our right in.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: These conference games.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Even though they've lost all of them, they've been pretty
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: competitive in all of them. They got Florida up next,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: but LSU is still looking for their first conference win,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: so I don't think they're gonna overlook anybody really, although
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: that was a big game against Kentucky, but Kentucky is
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: kind of down a little bit this year, so I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's a difficult handicap in this one. LSU
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: already dropped from a four point favorite a one and
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite, though, so the money has come
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: in towards the Missouri side in this one, or maybe
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: there's some personnel thing which I don't pay attention to
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: college basketball. I don't know. I mean, I kind of
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: was leaning towards LSU in this game, man, because they
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: don't have a conference win yet in Missouri is already
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: three and one in conference, So I don't know. I
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with that line move there,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: but I don't have that strong of an opinion on it.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: Four pm on.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: ESPN, Arizona gets the ESPN billing even though they're not
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: playing that great of a team in UCF. Although you
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: seef was in the rankings for a little bit this year.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: They're not a horrible team by any means. Although Arizona
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: is obviously elite second in Kenbom's rankings, a top ten
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: in both offense and defense, Arizona very very good and balance.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: He's got UCF down at forty third, so not as
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: good of a team. Both of these teams on the
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: faster side of the Arizona plays faster. Arizona's coming off
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: a game where they didn't play well, or Arizona State
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: did play well. Arizona State really stepped up their game
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: for that game against Arizona Man taking Arizona right to
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: the limit pretty much. Arizona only got by that game
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: by seven in a game where they were like a
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: twenty point favorite probably in that game, so Arizona didn't
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: play well. Their little brother really showed up in that game, man,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: So I think Arizona might show up after that, because
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: when you have a huge favorite like that that doesn't
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: play well, it usually forces them to focus in the
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: next game. Although it is a weird spot for Arizona
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: having to go all the way to Orlando to play
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: this game, UCF is certainly not a pushover here, and
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: UCF is coming off a win at Kansas State. Though
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: that was a decent win for UCF. There were a
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: little bit of an underdog on the road there. Now
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: coming back home, they're not going to overlook Arizona. But
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I actually probably prefer Arizona in this in
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: this spot, just because they're coming off that lackluster performance
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: in that game against Arizona State. Now, I do want
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: to see who Arizona State plays next, because I think
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: they're in a major fade spot. They're playing tomorrow against Houston.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll we'll analyze that game tomorrow, But
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Like, when I saw what Arizona State
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: did in that game against Arizona, I was like, Man,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Arizona State's gonna be in a major fade spot in
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: the next game. Now the money is disagreeing with me
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: on this. Arizona dropped from eleven and a half to
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: nine and a half. Here sixty seven percent of tickets
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: on the fifty three percent of the cash coming in
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: on UCF. So the money is coming in on UCF.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: I kind of disagree with it. The only thing that
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: you could say, I think is that it's a weird
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: travel spot for Arizona. It's an unfamiliar travel spot for them.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: So that's the one thing you can kind of say
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: about that. Hopefully for ESPNS, athought. I don't like ESPN,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: so I don't want to hope for anything for them,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: but hopefully for the viewer's sake, it winds up being
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: a good game to watch. Number four Michigan is at Oregon. Here.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: Michigan is still a legit team. Man, even though they
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: lost that one game they didn't cover at Washington. It
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: was a weird spot after losing their first game of
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: the season. I thought they'd be in a hangover spot
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: had to go out to the Pacific coast. Washington did
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: cover against them. Now Michigan plays again on the Pacific
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Coast after getting adjusted a little bit playing at Oregon. Now,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: excuse me, and after not covering, Man, I apologize. I
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: knew that sneeze was coming. Now Michigan playing a second
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: straight road game here, dude, the winter just rerecks my
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: signus says, and everything's so dry. I hate it. Now
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: Michigan does have Indiana on deck, so it is possible
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: they start looking ahead to Indiana. So I don't know, Man,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: will Michigan play better or will they just overlook Oregon
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: because Oregon's is not that good. Oregon just got destroyed
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: by Nebra And now they're coming back home and Oregon
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: and ugly one in five in conference. Right now, you
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: gonna figure the at least show up for this game.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: They get to host one of the big boys, one
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: of the best teams in college basketball, Michigan. So Oregon,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: they're gonna really show up for this game. You gotta thing,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: and Oregon's gonna try to muddy this thing up because
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Oregon likes to play these ugly slow games. They weren't
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: able to do it at Nebraska. The man that was
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: an ugly loss ninety to fifty five. You lose like
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: that to anybody, I think you're gonna show up in
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: the next game. So I probably slightly lean to Oregon
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: in this game. But Michigan's up from seventeen to eighteen
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: and a half now seventy five percent. Takes ninety eight
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Michigan. Yeah, this game on
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: NBC again at four PM. I kind of disagree with
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: the Michigan side in that one, but I don't really
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: want any part of Oregon right now either, So Oregon
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: will try to slow this thing down, though. Oregon, they're
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: just not that good of a team. Although they're balanced,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: they're not lopsided towards offense or defense. They'll try to
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: slow Michigan down though, and see if they can ugly
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: that thing up a little bit. The totals kind of
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: in the mid range at one fifty seven and a half,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: so Oddsmaker's kind of not sure which team's pace is
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: gonna win out because Michigan wants to go faster. Nebraska,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: speaking of them, they're at Northwestern on Big Ten Network
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: at four pm. Nebraska range eighth in the country. Ken
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: Bum has them probably sixteenth or so. Yep, I'm exactly
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: right about that. Excuse me, So Nebraska a little bit overrated.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: The money is coming in on Northwestern sixty two percent
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: of tickets on Nebraska, fifty two percent of the cash
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: on Northwestern. Does look like a bit of a pros
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: versus Joe's market read here between Nebraska and Northwestern Nebraska
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: coming off that blowout win over Oregon, it's not a
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: horrible spot for Nebraska. Yeah, they're going on the road.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: They've been a little bit worse on the road. That's
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: the one thing you can say. These road conference games
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: to them. I know one of them was a big
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: upset at Illinois, but then I guess the other two
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: were both upsets too though they were an underdog at
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and in Indiana, I'm pretty sure. And they
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: won all three of those road games, so they haven't
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: won by margin and any of those they were actually
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: an underdog in all of them, So they haven't exactly
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: been bad on the road. And now Northwestern is gonna
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: be the worst team out of all those teams that
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: they're playing on the road so far, I don't know
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: if they really have much to overlook here though, because
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Washington's not that good either, So you know, I don't
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: really see much of a reason to fade Nebraska here.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Northwestern is coming in off a big game against Illinois,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: so they're playing two big games in a row, two
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: meaningful games in a road to them. So I don't
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: love the Northwestern side, although yeah, the market is saying Northwestern,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: you know, a strong market read like that with not
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: really a great situation to latch onto. I guess I'll
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: agree with the Northwestern side in that one, but I
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: just don't have a strong opinion on that at all.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: Like it's not a game that I recommend playing, to
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: be honest, although probably you're gonna see a lot of
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: sharps coming in on the Northwestern side and that when
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: it looks like, give me one second, as I have
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: to blow my nose, I apologize. I'll be back.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: And you guys can look at the.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll show more of the board here and then
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: we'll see how because North Carolina is the next game up.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: But you can see what's going on with that market
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: read all right, Yeah, I hate my sinuses in the
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: winter Man number fourteen, North Carolina Garrett's team at Cal
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: on ACC Network at four pm. North Carolina. They just
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: lost to Stanford on the road. Man, that was a
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: tricky spot having to go out to the Pacific Coast.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: But now they're at least adjusted to the Pacific Coast.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: Now Cal is not as good as Stanford, so maybe
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: North Carolina will bounce back now that they're adjusted out
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: there and they got and that they took a loss.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: They don't really have anything to look forward to next
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: really against Notre Dame as their next opponent, so maybe
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: they do show up. I think calbably shows up as well.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: Although Cal is having to play Duke and North Carolina
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: back to back. They lost that home by double digits
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: to Duke, so I don't really see Cal being in
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: a terrible spot here. But that was still a tough
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: game against Duke. So and well, if you look at
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: this game was fairly close until later in the game
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: and Duke pulled away in the final ten or zone
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: minutes of the game. Wasn't exactly close, but you know,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: the Marga reta Saint Cal in this game, and I
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: kind of don't agree with it. North Carolina out from
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: four and a half to six, fifty to fifty on
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: the ticket, sixty four percent of the cash coming in
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: on cal money is saying cal. But I kind of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: again disagree with that one a little bit too. It's
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: tough for them to play both North Carolina blue Bloods
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: and back to back games. You know, in North Carolina
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: after getting punched in the mouth and then adjusting to
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: the time zone, might be in a somewhat better spot there.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm staying away though, Charles, what's up? Thanks for
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: hanging out. Uh seventeen Arkansas number twenty one Georgia is
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: an interesting one here. Now the odds makers have both
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: these teams a little bit over or the rankings makers
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: have both these teams a little bit overrated. Arkansas is
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: just not very good defensively. Ken Bom has them twenty
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: fourth and as Georgia thirty third. Both teams are better
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: on offense the defense. Both teams play fast, So this
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: game looks like a fairly obvious over. But you have
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: to go over one eighty one and a half if
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: you want to go over in this game, which is
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: one of the highest numbers that I've ever seen, probably
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: in college basketball. That is an insane total. But it's
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: that way for a reason. George is one of the
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: absolute fastest tempo teams out there. Both teams are gonna
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: be running up and down the floor. They don't play defense,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: so definitely could see this game going over and I
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: would not play an under in this game, that's for
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: sure as far as the side is concerned. Arkansas just
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: beats South Carolina by thirty four points, so an easy
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: win there. They do a Vandy next. I don't know
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: if they're gonna overlook Georgia because Georgia has been pretty
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: strong last couple of years. Georgia just took an ugly
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: home loss to Ole Miss though as a favorite, so
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: I think Georgia was already looking ahead. Georgia only beat
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: South Carolina by five the game before that, so I
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: think the public might want to jump in on the
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: Arkansas side here, especially oh they're the better ranked team
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: getting points whatever. And yes, Arkansas is the better team,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: but not by that much. I prefer Georgia in this
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: one to bounce back from that upset loss that they
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: took Georgia up from two to two and a half.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: Here, I would lay it with Georgia. I was gonna
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: play it.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: With as many points as they were gonna be scored
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: in that game. It's also easier to cover as a favorite,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: although you're not asking him to do too much there.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: So that's the way that I look at that game,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: all right, Uh, CBS Sports Also in the dude, we're
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: still in the four pm slay This is bad. Oh
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: my god. Richmond at Saint Louis. Saint Louis is obviously
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: the better team out of these two. Richmond has been
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: all right in the conference as well, but Saint Louis
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: is just they're just the better team. Man. Richmond just
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: beat Lasal whatever. Yeah, they will show up for a
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: game against Saint Louis. But Saint Louis just beat four
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: of them, which is also not any sort of impressive
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: win by any means that they're just staying at home here.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: So probably just comes down to who's the better team.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: That is Saint Louis. Although you're having to lay a
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: lot of points with them in this one. Are they're
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: a fifteen point favorite? I see no real market indicators
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: on this game, yet I would probably lay it just
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: because I don't think either team is in a bad
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: spot and looking at the team's records. The fifteen just
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: kind of looks big, man, It just looks like a
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: big number if you think the game is gonna be
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: at all competitive. So that's kind of my thought on
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: that game. I don't really have a whole lot else
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: to say. Nevada is at air Force. Let me see
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: if I'm did I miss any of these games. I
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about Utah, I talked about Florida State.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Let me see, Yeah, let me see. There were a
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: couple other games I was gonna talk about, but I
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: probably will wind up doing it anyway, although I don't
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: see them. I have them maybe in the wrong order here,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, I was gonna talk about Central
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: Connectic and I skipped that one. But eh, so I'll
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: go back to the afternoon there. Central Connecticut just won
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: at Lemoyne. Really, this was I think this spot was
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: about fading Saint Francis when I looked at this. Yeah,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: Saint Francis just took Long Island completely to the limit.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: And Long Island is the best team in the Northeast
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Conference right now, and Saint Francis is terrible, one of
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: the worst teams in this conference. And they were a
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: double digit underdog in that game. So the fact that
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: they took Long Island completely to the limit like that,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's got to be Central Connecticut if you
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: play that game.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: So that was my thought on that game.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: Real quick. Central Connecticut's a six and a half point
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: favorite in that game. But though the total is not
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: very high in that when you're asking them to lay
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: points on the road and they're not a great offensive team,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: maybe they're offensive. Where was I at all? Right? I
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: forget where I was at. We're in the four PM.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Nevada at air Force. Air Force is a
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: very ugly team. But I don't know if I love
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: the spot for Nevada just because they are coming up
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: that tough game at Utah State and now having to
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: turn around and play air Force. So maybe a little
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: bit of a difficult spot there. Air Force still looking
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: for their first conference win, probably pretty much know you're
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: at least going to get an effort out of them,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: So I probably slightly lean air Force, but man, they
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: are ugly, but it's a low total. One hundred and
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: thirty two and a half. Nevada is a fifteen and
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: a half point road favorite there, so you're asking them
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: to lay a ton of points in a questionable spot
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: in a game, that on the road, in a game
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: where it might be a yeah, it's a spot that's
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit iffy, So.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: You know, I just don't.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would lean to air force, but yeah, I
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: don't have a strong opinion on it.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: Really, I don't know what else to.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Say about that. But yeah, lank points on the road
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: like that in a game, it's probably gonna be low scoring,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: questionable spot. Yeah, I would. Wait, I thought I talked
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: about Florida's Did I talk about it? I thought I
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: talked about that gamer, and maybe I didn't. I don't
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: think I talked about it yet. No, I do not
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: have important business. Jeffrey, what's up? No, Like this is
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: a normal Saturday. But I couldn't do the show last night.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: I was just about to die pretty much like this.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: College basketball is so much for me to do, Like
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: I almost don't even want to do it. Like it
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: was so much easier when I didn't do the show
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: because I would just do the handicap, Like handicapping this
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: board I do every game, and it takes me like
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: two hours, and probably it takes most guys more than
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: that if they try to handicap everything, and then I
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: come on the show and I got to talk about
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: it all again, and the show takes two hours as well.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Like I can't.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: Fucking do it anymore. And I have to turn around
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: right after this.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: I have to come back and do the normal show
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: that I would do on Saturday, because I was gonna
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: do this one last night. I have to come back
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: and I have to do NHL, NBA, and NFL. I
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: haven't looked at any of that yet. Today I'm gonna die,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: like this is ridiculous. Charleston is at stony Brook this game.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: Charleston just took a loss in what was I don't know, man,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: I would say it's an ugly loss because thousand, even
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: though they're better than the record looks thousand, they just
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: don't look good based on the record, and that didn't
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: end a win streak for Charleston, so it could hang
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: them over to this game. So I don't love the
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: spot for them. The problem is stony Brook just pulled
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: off a big upset of hostra So and they played
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: You and See at Wilmington the game before that, so
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: they're really playing the top three in the conference in
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: three straight games.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: Which is not.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: Easy to do. So stony Brook might just run out
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: of steam in this game. They should show up at
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: least for a game against Charleston. Charleston did drop from
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: five and a half to four and a half. The
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: total is low. You know, the market read is leaning
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: towards stony Brook. I kind of lean against them in
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: the game slightly and for me to Charleston, but I
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: don't love the game at all, all right, And again, yeah,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll try to talk about other games if
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: you want me to, but I'm really trying to.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: Make this not take that long.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about all the TV games and a lot
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: of the big conference games of the very least. I
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: don't think I had much interest in most of these
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: games here that I'm skipping over here, all right. Who
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: so a little bit of a reprieve there at least
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: Arkansas State at Troy is interesting because this is round
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: three really between these two teams. If you include the
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: conference final of last year where Arkansas State was a favorite.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: In that game, Troy won, Troy got into the tournament.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: Then Arkansas got the revenge this year being Troy at home.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: So now maybe we go back to the other siding
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: and with Troy in this one. Here. Arkansas State did
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: just take a loss in a pretty tough game against
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: South Alabama, two tough games in a row. Troy is
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be the team with the adjustments to make here
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: after losing at Arkansas State. Troy, though, they just absolutely
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: destroyed Southern Miss, and Southern Miss is near the top
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: of the conference too, So I don't think I want
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: any part of Troy after they did that. Man, even though, yeah,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: this is a big game for them. I mean, I
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: guess I'll slightly lean towards Troy in the game, but
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: I don't like it They're up from three to three
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: and a half. I just worried that they're gonna be
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: also feeling really high off of that win.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: So those are my thoughts on that game.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: Uh all right. I mean, if the Ohio Valley had
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: like two of their top teams playing each other, I
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: might talk about that, but that is not the case.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Wafford and Furman is somewhat interesting because I believe this
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: does have tournament revenge implications. Yeah, so Furman is the
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: team that Wafford eliminated Furman from the SOCN Tournament last year.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: So Watford is the team that ended furman season last year.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: So Wafford won the conference last year as well somehow
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: won the conference tournament, so this is a bigger game
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: for Furman, although Watford is coming up two losses and
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: that that last one was an ugly loss as a
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: favorite to Chattanooga, so I think Watford could also bounce
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: back after that, So I could see this going both
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: waves Man, which is why I'm not gonna jump in
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: on the game when there are some big factors that
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: are conflicting with each other. Furman did just have a
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: big game at Samford got the win there. Sanford a
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: little bit down this year though, but I don't think
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: Furman could possibly over looked the team that ended their
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: season last year, so all things to keep in mind
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: in that game, Wafford is taking some of the money
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: Furman down from seven to six and a half here.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I totally agree with that,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: but looking at this, it's pretty interesting thoughcause Furman doesn't
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: have that much better of a record than Wafford right now,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: so laying points like that, I mean, some people might
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: think that line does look kind of big. The money
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: is coming in towards Wafford. But again, because Wafford is
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: the team an eliminated Firman.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: Last year, I don't really want it.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Although if that wasn't the case, if that, if that
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: conference tournament revenge aspect wasn't here in this game, then
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: I would agree with Wafford in this game more than
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: I do. I still probably slightly lean that way, But
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: that revenge spot is what's keeping me off of that game,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: or one of the things is keeping me off that game,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: probably the main thing.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: Six pm on Peacock number.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: Five, Purdue was at USC Purdue having to go out
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: to the Pacific Coast. Man maybe not the easiest spot,
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: although Purdue was coming off not playing particularly well against Iowa.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: Purdue was a huge favorite in that game against Iowa
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: and they still got by and i was still a
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: decent team.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: So I could see it going both ways for Purdue here.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: Man, you could argue they didn't play that well, they
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: almost got caught as a favorite, so they should show
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: up focus here. But they're going out to the Pacific Coast.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: At least for them, it's not a really late game.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: They'll really mess with their biological clock. But they do
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: also have UCLA and their second game out there, and
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: then they come back and play Illinois. So USC is
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: the team that they might overlook in this stretch of
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: a few games here Man and then Indiana after that too,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: So this does kind of look like the overlook spot
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: and produce schedule though, like the one team they might overlook.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Even though USC has a decent overall record, conference play
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: hasn't been that kind to them. USC is staying at home.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: They did just get a win over Marlin, so they
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of momentum coming into this game. Obviously,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna overlook Purdue. They're gonna try to speed
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: the game up because Purdue plays slower.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: I would lean to USC plus the points in this one.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: I don't love it though. Purdue down from nine and
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: a half to nine seventy five tickets ninety four percent
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: of the cash on Purdue, so the money percentage is
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: on Purdue for the time being. And yeah, I could
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: see Purdue maybe being focused just because they didn't play
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: that well in the last game, But no real strong
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: opinion there. Otherwise. Number six Duke at Stanford at six
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: pm on ACC Network. Duke, just like North Carolina, were
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: playing their second straight game out in California. They beat
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: Cal in their last game, which Duke kind of pulled
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: away late in that game. As I showed you, Sanford
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: is better than Cal though, so it is possible Duke
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: has a little bit more trouble with Stamford here, although
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: they're now adjusted to the time zone. At the very least,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: Duke is gonna play in one of their North Carolina
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: counterparts and Wake when they come back home. But Wake,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: that game is just.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: Much bigger for Wake though, So I don't.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: Know if that's really a look ahead. I think you
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: probably would think, well, Stanford should get up for this game,
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: but Stanford just beating North Carolina. So the spot's kind
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: of iffy for Stanford, right because, yeah, they're gonna get
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: up for a game against Duke, but you're playing both
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: North Carolina teams in two straight games. It's difficult to
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: keep that effort up two games in a row. So
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: you know, overall, I kind of lean towards Duke in
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: the game, but the money's disagreeing with me in this
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: one too. Duke down from ten and a half to ten,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty on the tickets, so Duke isn't really
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: that public fifty nine of the cash though on Stanford,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: so some of the actual money coming in on Stanford.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: But I somewhat disagree with that. A number twelve Michigan
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: State is at Washington on the Big Ten network. Michigan
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: State just beat Indiana by twenty one points, and now they.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: Have to go out to the Pacific Coast.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: Could be a little bit difficult from them again, these
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: non Pacific coast, big Big ten teams going out to
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Coast, these unfamiliar venues is a little bit
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: weird for them. Washington's been decent, They've been a bit
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: under the radar, but Washington's gonna have to step it
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: up again after stepping it up against Michigan. In their
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: last game, they only lost by ten to Michigan. So
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: can they maintain that effort two games in a row
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: like this? I don't know, that is the question pretty much.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: So obviously I'm staying away from this game as well.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Most of my games are early games. We have a
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: fairly strong market read in this one, though Michigan State
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: being a three and a half point favorite, it looks
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: too easy to lay the points with.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: Michigan, of course, almost looks like a trap.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: I should get the it's a trap, Admiral Acbar Michigan State. Yeah,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty actually on the tickets and then eighty
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: five percent of the casual on Washington, so the money
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: is indicating on the Washington side. I don't really disagree
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: with it, just because the travel spot is weird for
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Michigan State and laying points with the deep defensive team
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: a slowdown team like Michigan State is a little bit
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: questionable on the road.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: So those are my thoughts on that game.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: I somewhat agree with the market on that one, but
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: I don't love Washington either, playing back to back games
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: against the two Michigans either.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: So that's that game.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: CBS Sports at six PMS Colorado at West Virginia kind
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: of a weird spot for Colorado. I have to go
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: play at Morgantown, man, even though these Big twelve teams
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: are getting used to playing at Morgantown. Colorado just rejoined
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve not that long ago, and I think
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: it was after I think when Colorado was in the
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: Big twelve, you know, a decade and a half ago,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: so I think West Virginia wasn't in the Big twelve yet.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: Because they were in the Big East. So I think
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: this is kind of an unfamiliar spot for Colorado, and
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: Colorado is coming up too crazy games. Member they made
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: huge comebacks against Texas Tech and then again on the
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: road against Cincinnati. Colorado was getting run out of the
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: building in both games, and they made huge comebacks in
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: both games, and then Colorado was close at the end
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: of that game against Cincinnati, and Colorado is a big
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: underdog in both games. I liked Colorado against Texas Tech,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: and luckily they did get the cover for us in
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: that game. I didn't like them against Cincinnati, and somehow
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: they came back, although Cincinnati I think wound up covering.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: It was only because Colorado stupidly intentionally fouled again at
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: the end of that game or something. But really it
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't a good spot for Colorado just in general. Colorado
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: was getting run out of that game. So I think
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: if you were on Colorado, you actually got lucky that
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: they were even in that game and near the end
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: of it, because Cincinnati just kind of took their foot
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: off the gas. But Colorado's coming up those two big
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: games and now they're at least the travels a little
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: bit less for them because they're only going from Cincinnati
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: to West Virginia. But all of those two games now
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: they're going to West Virginia, who's been a little bit
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: under the radar. They're below Colorado and the standings right now,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: al though I think West Virginia is actually the better
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: team out of the two. And then Colorado does played
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Kansas in three days, so it's a bit of a
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: look ahead as well, so I think it's a bad
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: spot for Colorado. This is one of the ones that's
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: almost on my card. Man. So the games that I've
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: talked about that are almost on my card so far
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: are fordam Utah. I said Central Connecticut, but I think
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: that one's a little bit weaker, and West Virginia I
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: do like a bit. Oh the West Virginia. They're coming
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: out of a big game I guess against Houston, but
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: they got annihilated. They lost my almost thirty points, So
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: you gotta think West Virginia will be in a foul
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: mood after losing that badly, even though it was to
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: a good Houston team. Now, the problem with laying the
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: points with West Virginia here is obviously that West Virginia
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: just plays ridiculously slow, although Colorado I think probably wants
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: to speed this up, so West Virginia will probably make
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: them uncomfortable by slowing the game way down, which is
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: beneficial to West Virginia for sure.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: But do you want to lay five.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: And a half with a team that plays as slow
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: as West Virginia does. It seems a little bit dicey.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: The total is still pretty low one forty four and
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: a half, So that's really that's kind of my main
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: hesitation with this because I do think it's a bad
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: spot for Colorado. So I do like West Virginia in
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: that game, but that one is not on my card.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: All right, we have wake Forest and Florida State here,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: six pm ESPN two. Here's this game. I like Florida
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: State in this game, which, if you know me, maybe
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: you could have already predicted that.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest just played Miami tight.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: And then they played their in state rival, in state
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: big brother, North Carolina almost to the limit, or pretty
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: much to the limit. They played North Carolina on the
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: road to within three points. This game was within one
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: possession in the final minute of the game. Man, So
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: wake Forest went right to the wire with them, and
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: after Florida State. They got SMU and then Duke after that.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: I would probably be on Florida State if they had
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: Duke literally, if Wake Forest had Duke literally in their
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: next game.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: But they have SMU next, which.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe makes it a little bit less of
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: a sandwich, although I think it is still a sandwich
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: going on the road to Florida State. Florida State's still
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: desperate for their first conference win now. Florida State did
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: just have to go up to Syracuse though, and they
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: played pretty well as an underdog against Syracuse, and I
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: think wound up only covering the opening number and not
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: the closing number because that number dropped quite a bit
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: on Syracuse. I think a lot of money came in
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: on Florida State in that game. They played okay in
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: the game, and Florida State does have a big game
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: up next against Miami. So that is one of my
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: concerns that that's a huge game coming up next against
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: Miami and wake is kind of this middling team, but
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: I think Florida State does. They don't really have the
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: ability to overlook anybody right now. So yes, I like
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: Florida State in this game. Wake is down from two
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: to one here this is almost on my card. I
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: just I have a few concerns with it, more than
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: I do with the other games. But yes, I like
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: Florida State in that game. Yeah, plus the one one
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: and a half or whatever, and that all right. ESPN
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: at six PMS Texas A and M at Texas. Both
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: of these teams are in terrible spots. Texas A and
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: M just played really close at Tennessee. That was a
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: big game for Texas A and M. I think it
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: went into double overtime. Yeah, so that was a huge game.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: That was a game that probably took a lot out
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: of Texas A and M. There were I think a
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: double digit underdog in that game too. And when you
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: have a double digit underdog in a big step up
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: game like that that takes that team to double ot
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: and then falls short, you expect them to be flat
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: in the next game. And this is a third road
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: game in four games, as well as second straight road game.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of negatives for Texas A and M.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Here the problem is, how can I recommend Texas when
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: they just beat Alabama and Vandy back to back and
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: just handed Vandy their first loss of the season. I
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: can't do it, man, and they got Kentucky on deck.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of a look at there as well,
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: because A and M hasn't really been that good, although
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: they are head of Texas in the standings. So man,
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: this is a difficult game to handicap. I don't love
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: the side either way in this one. The money's coming
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: into Texas for what it's worth, and I guess I'll
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: agree Texas up to a five point favorite. But of course,
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: people that look at this match up, we're gonna think,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: how could I possibly lay five with the team with
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: the worst record, right, But the Oswegers are telling you
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: Texas is actually the better team, So I guess I'll
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: agree with that. A and M did have to put
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: in more energy into that game against Texas A and
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: against excuse me, Tennessee. At the very least, I'll slightly
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: into Texas. I think the over makes more sense in
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: this game. We're looking at one sixty five and a half.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: I think both teams are somewhat fast paced. Texas is
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: more of a mid tempo team, but both teams lack
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side. Actually, excuse me, A and M
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: is actually not that bad defensively. Texas is quite bad
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: defensively and better offensively, A and MS more balanced, but
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: A and M plays really fast, So and with both
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: teams not maybe not having a you know, like the
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: legs to play deep mens all game here, I think
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: it over makes sense in the game as well.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: One sixty five and a half is the total in
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: SEC Network at six PMS South Carolina at Auburn. South
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Carolina coming off losing badly at Arkansas, so they might
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: bounce back after that, even though it is a second
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: straight road game, Auburn coming into this game off of
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: losing at Missouri, so both teams coming off losses, So
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: what do you do here when probably both teams are
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be focused? You know? So then it kind of
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: comes down to, well, what does the market look like here?
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: Not Missouri South Carolina?
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: Excuse me? Auburn's actually an eleven and a half point
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: favorite in this game, up from eleven, So I think
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the deciding factor for me in this
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: game is that the spread looks insane, like who's gonna
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: want to lay eleven and a half with a ten
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: and seven team against another ten and seventeam? The line
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: looks insanely big, But the oddsmakers are telling you Auburn
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: is actually the significantly better team still, ken Bum's got
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: them at thirty fourth in the country. He's got Auburn
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: has having faced the third most difficult schedule in the
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: entire country. He's got South Carolina all the way down
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: at eighty fifth and having faced the two hundredth strangth
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: the schedule. So there are some things to like about
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: Auburn here, and they might be a little bit undervalued.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: And again the line just looks insane, like no public
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: better is gonna want to lay a price like that.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: So I think Auburn probably is the right side in
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: that game based on that.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, next up, we got.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: What else that I want to talk about here, we'll
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: talk about well, Belmont in Southern Illinois. Belmont is coming
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: off that game where they almost lost to Valpo, So
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: you gotta think Belmont probably will show up in this game. Also,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: it's a road revenge spot because Belmont. I'd like it
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: better if they had one conference loss. They have two
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: conference losses, each by a point, but their most the
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: reason one was against Southern Illinois and that's who they're
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: playing right now today. Belmont lost at home to Southern Illinois.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: So I think Belmont is going to show up for
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: this game for multiple reasons, coming off an ugly game,
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of in season road revenge here.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: Now I think Southern ILLINOI is better than the record looks.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: Southern Illinois is coming off an ugly game where they
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: blew it against Drake, and I'm pissed again because that
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: was a game that we had on the show and
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: Southern Illinois was blowing them out and somehow didn't even
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: win the game outright, And you gotta think they'll still
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: show up for a game against Belmont. So I lean
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: Belmont slightly in the game, but I can't get there
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: with it because I think both teams are kind of
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: in a spot where they're going to show up. Belmont's
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: a three point road favorite, fifty percent of the tickets
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: and sixty four percent of the cash on them. I
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: agree with the cash percentage in that one with Belmont,
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: but not a game I'm that interested in. Saint Mary's
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: at Santa Clara is going to be a very interesting
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: one out in the West Coast Conference here. Saint Mary's
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: just beats San Francisco and they're playing a second straight
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: road game here. Nice win over San Francisco, who's still
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: one of the top half of the teams in this conference.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: Santa Clara is legit man, and this might be a
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: game where Santa Clara is gonna have more energy in
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: this game, more focused because Saint Mary's coming off another
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: big game there against San Francisco.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: They should show up for a game against Santa Clara.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: But the spot sets up better for Santa Clara staying
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: at home for a third game in a row. They
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: just beat Pacific. Not a big win there. All the
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: Pacific's okay, they're better than the record. Looks huge game.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's a bigger game for Santa Clara because
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's has been one of the teams to beat
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: in this conference for so long, and Santa Clara this
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: year looks like they're kind of bridging the gap a
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: little bit to the point where they're actually a favorite
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: in this game. Flip from a one point dodge of
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: one and a half point favorite. Ninety five percent of
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: the cash on Santa Clara tickets are fifty to fifty.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: I'll agree with Santa Clara. I'll agree with the money
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: in that one. So it's a slight opinion for me
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, although Odsburg is still telling you
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's is the better team, but it's not that
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: much of a disparity in that one. Okay, let's see
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: what else I want to talk about here, man, I
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: know I'm skipping some of these games for time. Austin
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: P and Lipscomb is actually probably the game between the
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: two top teams in the Atlantic Sun or the two
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: best teams, even though I know Queens is snuck in there.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: But Austin P and Lipscomb I think are the best
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: two teams in this conference. Austin P just barely got
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: by Eastern Kentucky in the last game. I think Austin
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: P was a favorite and probably didn't cover in that game.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: Lipscomb also didn't play that well against beller Men in
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: the last game. They won by ten at home. I
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: think Bellerman might have covered that number and was fairly
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: close late in the game. Both teams are probably looking
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: ahead to this game now. The question is which of
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: these teams is the better team, and the odds Bakers
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: I think are actually kind of telling you it's Austin
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: P at this point, but I kind of disagree ken
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: Bumb as Lipscomb still is the better team because I
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: looked so there's a little bit of a disparity between
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: what the oddsmakers are saying and what the.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: And what ken Bom is saying.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: But maybe there's an injury or something because Austin p
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: was gonna be a three and a half point dog,
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: which I think would be more in line with what
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: ken Bomb's numbers saying. Now they're a two point favorite,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: So this's probably got it like there must be an
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: injury or something for Lipscum, because I don't see why
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: otherwise Austin p would would be that big of a
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: favorite in that game. So you know, I think maybe
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of value looking towards the Lipscumb
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: side plus the points there, but I don't have a
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: strong opinion. Then, of course teams are gonna be gunning
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: for Lipscumb in that compon Limpscum what Lipskum in that conference,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: because they did win the conference again last year, so
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: they do have a little bit of a target on
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: their back. Number eleven b Yu at number fifteen Texas
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: Tech is the later ESPN game at eight pm. Good Game,
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: Big twelve Game here b Y is coming off barely
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: getting by TCU at home and barely getting by Utah
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: on the road the game before that. So BYU kind
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: of coasting a little bit here and maybe we'll get
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: shocked back into focus here. Kind of a weird spot
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: to have to go to Lubbock. But they might be
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: focused because they're coming off two kind of unfocused efforts here.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech they just beat Utah in kind of a
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: whatever type of game as well. I mean, they're not
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: in a bad spot really, so I think both teams
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: are going to show up for this game, So it
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: does kind of come down to which team is gonna well,
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what it comes down to,
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: to be honest. I think BYU has more reason to
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more focus here just because they
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: were more lackluster in the last couple of games. So
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: the money has come in on Texas Tech, driving them
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: up from one to three, seventy five percent of tickets
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: seventy seven percent of the cash on Texas Tech. They
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: are slightly public side as well. I was kind of
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: leaning slightly towards BYU. Ken Bum does that BYU ten
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: ranking spots higher, which is Mos, I guess reflected in
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: the number, so BYU the rankings makers kind of have
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: it right that BYU is the better team. They're not
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: that far off with either of these teams. Texas Tech
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: probably a little bit over ranked by the rankings makers
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: though is Kembom has the twenty third and he's got
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: BYU thirteenth, So both teams overrated by the rankings bakers,
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: but Texas Tech a little bit more overrated, so probably
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: slightly into BYU for me in that one. ESPN two
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: at eight PM is number twenty. Louisville at Pitt. Louisville's
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: the better team here, but Louisville is coming off that
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: big game against Virginia where they lost by nine, but
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: that might hang them over a little bit into this game.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much attention they're really going to
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: pay to a pit team that has been pitiful this year.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: They're not good, and Louisville does have Virginia Tech up next,
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: so maybe a little bit of a Virginia sandwich. Virginia
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: Tech is still above them in the acc standings of
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: the very least and then Duke SMU after that, So
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: this looks like kind of the flat spot in Louisville
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: scale schedule. Here, Pitt coming into this game off beating
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. So Pitt at least broke a losing streak
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: with a win over a pretty weak Georgia Tech team.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna be overconfident coming into this one. So
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: I actually like Pitt in this game plus the points.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: The money is not agreeing with me, is Pitt looks
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: like a public underdog, But how could that possibly be? Right? Like?
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: How is the public coming in on a below five
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: hundred pit team against a ranked Louisville That doesn't make
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: sense to me. But we see sixty seven percent of
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: tickets fifty eight percent of the cash on pit right now.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with that.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: I don't agree that those market percentages are accurate. Louisville's
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: a seven and a half boy favorite. I would take
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: the points with Pitt if I was gonna play the game,
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: but I am not going to CBS Sports has a
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: pretty good Mountain West game at eight pm between New
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: Mexico and San Diego State. New Mexico usually plays on
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: the faster side, where San Diego State's gonna want to
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: ugly it up and slow the game down and may
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: be able to do that at home. New Mexico coming
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: out that win over Grand Canyon that I mentioned a
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: fine win for them going out on the road to Fay.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: San Diego State though probably gonna be the most difficult
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: game they played in conference place so far, and there
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: are other The most difficult game prior to this one
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: was at Boise, and New Mexico lost that game, and
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: Boise is a slowdown team as well, and Boise just
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: hasn't been playing well recently. Though I think I was
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: right about Boise last night right. Actually they pushed that
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: game last night, but I was at least correct about
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: them winning. So I think Boise is better than the
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: record looks, at least with San Diego State, I think
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 1: might be better than they are at this point. San
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: Diego State just be Wyoming on the road, decent win there,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: Wyoming has been okay.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 2: Now San Diego State back at home.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: I do think the spot does set up better for
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: San Diego State in this one. Both teams probably will
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: show up for it, though I lean San Diego State slightly.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: They're up from three and a half to four here,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: totals low one and a half, which kind of tells
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: that San Diego State's gonna be able to control the tempo,
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: although actually Ken Bombas is more of a mid tempo
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: team this year, which is interesting, and he still has
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: New Mexico as the somewhat faster team though, although New
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: Mexico is actually better defensively than offensively, which is interesting.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: With San Diego State's usually they were balanced team, they're
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: better defensively than offensively as well. So we'll see. But
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: that's my slightly towards San Diego. And then my final
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: play is here in the eight PM slate, let's go.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: The final best bet is Long Beach. We're going back
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: to the pyramid scheme of Long Beach, although this is
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: not at the pyramid. This is at cal State north Ridge,
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: who I think is in a terrible spot here, and
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go with Long Beach, who I think is
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: not horrible at least. They look pretty bad at the
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: beginning of the season, but they're under the raidar a bit.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: They treated us well when we've played them before against
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: who do we play them against? Bakersfield? Maybe I don't remember.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: I might have been Cal Poly, I forget, but Long
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: Beach got us a win at some point in one
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: of their home games. They're on the road here, but
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: they're coming off a win at home against Cal Rivers.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: They're coming into this game with momentum, and I think
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: Long Beach will not overlook a team it's above them
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: in the standings, like Cal State north Ridge, Whereas for
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: north Ridge, I think this is a lesser game on
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: their schedules. Look at what north Ridge just did. They
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: just upset you see San Diego on the road. That
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: was a huge win for north Ridge. You see San
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: Diego kind of ran away with the conference a little
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: bit last year, except Irvine was still competitive last year,
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: but you see San Diego has been really kind of
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: the best team in this conference the last two years.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: So that was a huge win for Cal State north
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: Ridge overtaking you see San Diego and the standings too.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: Now they're playing Long Beach and up next they got Hawaii,
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: who is at the top of the conference right now,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: so that's a much bigger game. And then they have
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: you see Davis and you see San Diego again. After that.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: All those teams are above Long Beach in the standings here,
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: So this looks like the down spot and the schedules
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: to me, for north Ridge. I think it's a sandwich
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: spot as well, sandwiched in between really the top two
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: teams in the conference. You see San Diego and Hawaii.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. We're gonna be on
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: Long Beach in this one. I don't like it for
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: the team that we're fading. I should say in north
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: Ridge Ken bomb. He's got Long Beach mid tempo team. Yeah,
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: they're kind of weak defensively, but whatever, mid luck index
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: as well. But he has north Ridge thirty seventh in
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: lock so he has north Ridge is one of the
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: luckiest teams in the country. They play faster, but you know,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, even if they speed the game up, Long
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: Beach should kind of adapt, I think, because they don't
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: play slow exactly. And north Ridge is actually bad defensively
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: as well, So there's not that much of a gap
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: between what these two teams do defensively. So I'm okay
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: with it. It's a bad spot for cal State Northridge.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: We're grabbing Long Beach plus the points in that one.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 2: Best bets.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what that is, Jim Leigh, he
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: falling down the stairs? What is that? All?
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: Peacock has a big, big East game in the eight
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: pm slate here with Saint John's at Villanova. Saint John's
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: just easily took care of Marquette, whatever. I think they
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: will be focused on Villanova because Villanova is slightly above
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: them in the standings right now. Villanova coming off a
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: win on the road at Providence kind of a whatever
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 1: type of win as well, so both teams are going
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: to be focused here. This will be a bit of
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: a tempo collision, as Saint John's likes to go fast.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: Villanova is going to try to make the game ugly
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: or and slow it down and maybe frustrate Saint John's.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: But I think Saint John's is actually the better team though,
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: and I think there may be a little bit more
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: under the radar than Villanova is right now, and the
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: money has come in on Saint John's from a pick
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: them to three. Donova really want to lay three on
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: the road with a total of one forty nine and
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: a half a game where Saint John's doesn't score that
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: well and Villanova is probably gonna slow the pace down.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: So I don't love it, but I slightly lean towards
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: Saint John's here. Maybe a money line, any type of
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: deal with them. I don't know sixty percent of the
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: tickets and sixty three percent of the cash on Saint John's,
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. I'm staying away though, but I
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: leaned slightly to Saint John's Trailer Park boys, and I
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: don't watch that shit. I don't watch Canadian bullshit. I don't.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: I don't understand Canadian humor at all. Letter Kenny and
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: whatever shit like that. I don't understand it. It does
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: not register with me at all. American and British.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: Humor do I don't know.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: And uh isn't Bubbles like a pedophile or something like that.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give them any of my attention at all.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: We have the Battle of Mississippi Ole Miss at Mississippi
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: State on SEC Network at eight thirty pm. I think
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: Old Miss is kind of in a bad spot here, man.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: They pulled up that road upset of Georgia that I
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned in the last game. Now, of course this is
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: a rival recently. They shouldn't overlook Mississippi State and Mississippi
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: State I believe won both games last year against Old Miss,
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: so there is double revenge for Ole Miss here. So
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: there are reasons why they shouldn't be unfocused. I was
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 1: gonna say be out of focus. They shouldn't be unfocused
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: in this game, but that was a big win over Georgia. Man,
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: so I think the spot does actually set up better
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: for Mississippi State here. Mississippi State just lost to Alabama
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: staying at home. Yeah, I mean the spot's a little
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: bit better form Mississippi State. That's the way on lean
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: in the game. But not gonna make my card. Obviously,
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: both teams are gonna be probably at least they're gonna
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: want to win this game, and of course, like I said,
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: there are reasons for ole Miss to show up as well.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 1: Three and a half is the line, and that when
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: the public might look at that and think the line's
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit too high on Mississippi State, but I
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: think it's kind of right where it should be. I
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: don't think ken Bum has these teams separated by very much.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: He's got ole Miss at sixtieth Mississippi State at seventy ninth.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe the line's slightly high given the Old
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: Miss is actually the better team, but I think some
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: of them might be factoring in the spot. So do
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: with that information what you want. Way better than letter Kenny. Interesting.
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: Oh it was an adult woman, but his son's.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 2: Age all right.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: Whatever, if it was a young adult woman, the good
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: for him. The Battle of Montana in the Big Sky
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: is happening tonight at nine pm.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: Montana Montana State.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: These were also two of the best teams in the
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: Big Sky, so it's a big game.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting game Montana State.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: I believe this might be a rematch of the conference
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: final if I'm not mistaken for last year as well. No,
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: Montana beat Northern Colorado my mistake. But Montana won the
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: conference last year, so maybe Montana State is a little
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: bit more of a chip on the shoulder.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 2: But Montana just lost ed Eastern Washington.
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: That was not a good loss from Montana, so maybe
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: they were looking ahead a little bit to this game.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: It was kind of a weird sandwich he spot. There
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: after they played Northern Colorado and Idaho. Northern Colorado is
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: still in this conference even though their record's not that good.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: They faced some of the more difficult opponents in the
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: conference so far. Montana State just lost at Idaho, but
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 1: that was a bigger game. Idaho decent team, so I
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 1: think the spot sets up better for Montana here Man,
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: even though they did win the conference last year. So
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: Montana State's probably gonna have reason to show up in
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: this game as well. Montana State's laying five and a half. Yeah,
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: they're the better team. The odjecers are telling you that,
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: But I think the spot's a little bit better from Montana.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: I kind of like towards grabbing the points with Montana
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: and that one, although it does kind of look too
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: easy to do it. It looks the line looks a
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: little bit too high to the average public. Better. Probably,
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga is playing at Seattle late night. Gonzaga number nine
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: in the country. Gonzaga will be flying across Washington because
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: they just won at Washington State in eastern Washington. Now
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to Seattle to play Seattle out west. Might
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of a weird spot for Gonzaga.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: Man Seattle, they're gonna slow the game down, try to
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: ugly this thing up.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 2: Seattle's new to the conference.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: Goazaga did already beat them only by eight though at Gonzaga.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: Seattle actually played decently in that game. Now, this is
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: an unfamiliar spot for Gonzaga. I think maybe they do
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: play sometimes in Seattle, but Seattle is new to the conference,
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of a new venue to play at
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: in conference play. Seattle's an OK team, man, and they
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: hang around a games, so they're a little bit of
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: a frustrating opponent to play. And Gonzaga wants to go fast.
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna want to ugly this thing up and slow
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 1: it down. Seattle just ended a three game losing streak,
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: although two of those games are Gonzaga on Saint Mary's
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: on the road, Obviously you did not expect them to
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: win those games. They beat San Diego in their last
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 1: game to end that losing streak. I'd probably take the
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: points with Seattle in this game, man.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 2: The money seems to agree.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga down from sixteen and a half to fourteen.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 2: It's not that big of a line, man.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: So it looks almost kind of easy to lay it
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: with gonzaz Seventy of the tickets are on Gonzaga, eighty
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash coming back in on Seattle, so
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: the money is on Seattle here. That's the way that
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: I would play it is taking the points of Seattle. Yes,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga is in Spokekane, Washington, Yes, so Seattle probably is
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: going to consider themselves to be an in state little
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: brother here as well, so more motivation for Seattle probably
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: in this game as well. But yeah, Gonzaga, they're more
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: in the eastern part of the state in Spokane, so
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: going out to the western part of the state, you know,
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a little bit of a weird spot.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: They don't have a big game up next though, Gonzaga.
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 1: They play Pepperdine, so we'll see. In the CBS Sports
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: has Kansas State and Oklahoma State kind of a lowly
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: big twelve matchup here where Oklahoma State has a good record,
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: but they haven't done well in conference play so far. Man,
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: so maybe we find some value on Kansas State or
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: Kansas State just lost at home to UCF. UCF's been
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: an al right team, but Kansas State was favored in
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: that game, so it might be good for them to
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 1: just forget about it go out on the road. They're
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: still looking for their first conference win, and at least
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State does have a conference win. Oklahoma State, staying
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: at home, did just play Baylor, took a loss in
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 1: that game. I kind of prefer Kansas State in this game.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State's up to four and a half, but fifty
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: percent of the tickets and ninety eight percent of the
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: cash on Kansas State, So the money's coming in on
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: Kansas State.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 2: I agree with it.
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 1: In that game, I think the public's gonna have a
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: tendency to want Oklahoma State.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 2: Here because Kansas State's record is just so ugly.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: But the oddspeakers are telling you there's not that much
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: of a gap between these two teams, even though Oklahoma
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: State's kind of on the tournament radar. In Kansas State
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 1: basically has no chance to be a tournament team. But
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, they're not that good man. Like I said,
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 1: they're not as good as they're out of conference record
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: looks they didn't play a very strong conference schedule. So
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: that's gonna do itugh Man, it's such a long video.
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right back again, probably in about a
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: half hour after I try to handicap all the games
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: for hockey and NBA. Hopefully it's not that much. I
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of hockey always on Saturday, but
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: hopefully it doesn't take me too long. I'll be back
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: in a bit for that. All of that. Of course,
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: we'll talk NFL as well. Don't even know what my
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: players are gonna be like yet for the rest of
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: the slate here, but today, the other plays that we have,
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: we have college basketball. We have SMU plus the points,
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 1: Butler plus the points, unc Asheville plus.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: The points, Indiana minus.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 1: The points, Delaware plus the points, Northern Iowa money line
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 1: or minus the points if you find a better number
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 1: that way. If it's two and a half, I guess,
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: and then Long Beach plus the points. Those are my
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: actual plays. Seven college basketball plays. They were probably gonna
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 1: wind up with about ten or so places that it
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 1: would be my guest once I'm through everything, but we'll see.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back, man, after I handicap this. So
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks for hanging out, guys, Pinsy, what's
• 2:20:09
