1:02
and it is March. It is March. I will be using
1:05
the trend center heavily, uh, going into the
1:07
tournament. However, uh, I haven't really done
1:12
any research, but I did make a bracket. Um, the
1:15
amount of research I've done is I listened to
1:17
a podcast, just one. So I don't, I don't really
1:22
know what that means, but, uh, I don't know.
1:25
I really don't have much to add, except, you
1:27
know, this is my bracket and I hope it wins.
1:30
That would be cool. But but before we get into
1:34
that, let's say hi to the gents. Chris, how are
1:36
you? I'm great. I mean, this is the best time
1:41
of year. I've been saying that for weeks, I feel
1:43
like, but we're we are two days away as time
1:47
at time of recording from. If the Super Bowl
1:51
is gambling Christmas, this is gambling. Hanukkah,
1:54
because it lasts multiple days. By the time this
1:59
episode comes out, we will have wall -to -wall
2:01
college basketball for four straight days, and
2:03
it's euphoria. So I'm very excited. Did pretty
2:10
well gambling -wise in the conference tournaments.
2:14
Yeah, and hoping that Trent Center will help
2:15
us roll it on into the big dance. But yes, I
2:20
am ready to go. I am itching. Sean, how you doing?
2:25
Well, you know, I'm all right. It was like almost
2:31
80 degrees the other day. Now it's like it was
2:35
snowing yesterday. Gas is almost four dollars
2:39
a gallon. You know, just work, work, work, work.
2:47
I'm tired. but you can't really be too sad when
2:51
you've got the greatest tournament in all of
2:53
sports coming up and It's supposed to be a nice
2:56
weekend this weekend, but it's too bad. I'll
2:59
be inside the entire time watching basketball
3:01
so Doing great doing great knowing that I have
3:06
something to look forward to and I can stop thinking
3:08
about You know all the horrors in the world But
3:12
yes, let's get into Let's get into it. I guess
3:17
Okay, all right, let's get into it. Not gonna
3:21
go through every game here. How do we want to
3:24
structure this? Do we want to just give our final
3:26
fours and go from there? I don't know. Or like
3:34
any any upsets on anyone's bracket? Not like
3:39
major, but I've got a couple 11s and 10s. Moving
3:46
on the first round. I got Troy beaten in Nebraska.
3:53
Okay. I don't, I don't know. I think we just
4:00
go down the list. All right. Why not? All right.
4:05
Well, does that sparkle with you, Chris? Yeah,
4:08
it's great. Sorry. My computer was having issues,
4:11
but we're good now. No worries. All right. Well,
4:17
I guess I'll kick things off here. Do we want
4:20
to do like conference by conference? Just go
4:23
east to Midwest. Is Midwest the middle one? Straight
4:27
down. The down one? Mid. We can go through who
4:30
we got and if we have any strong opinions, give
4:33
them. Okay. Just speak up. Well, I mean, some
4:40
of them like. Yeah. I mean, okay. Duke, Sienna.
4:43
Does anyone have Sienna? No. Okay, next. All
4:51
right, Ohio State TCU. I have Ohio State. I also
4:56
have Ohio State. I do have Ohio State. I made
5:00
this bracket. I think it was 20 minutes after
5:03
selection Sunday, so I haven't really revisited
5:06
since until now. I am going to be switching that
5:09
to TCU because now that I've pondered it, I do
5:12
think TCU is just a better team. They have more
5:17
impressive wins. They have a few stinky losses
5:19
sprinkled in, but I think overall there's a better
5:22
team. Okay. There's some insight there. Something
5:27
that I won't have. Moving on. St. John's Northern
5:31
Iowa. I do have Northern Iowa in there beating
5:34
St. John's. Don't ask me why. Okay. Because I
5:40
don't know. I heard a little bit of noise coming.
5:43
coming about uh north northern iowa but i don't
5:47
know i'm just having fun uh did you bet northern
5:54
iowa no i'm probably gonna work on my picks tomorrow
5:58
at 10 and a half 10 and a half i'd have to check
6:04
you already got him upset yeah but this isn't
6:09
real i'm not gonna win Three games in. Brackets
6:19
busted. My bracket is busted all over the place.
6:26
What's the total in that game, Sean? 131 and
6:32
a half. Okay. Who's to say? Moving on, Kansas.
6:41
Oh, well, I mean, I just figured you guys had
6:43
St. John's. Yeah, I do. Johnny's, I might take
6:47
a minus 10 and a half. Northern, I was terrible.
6:50
They were sixth in the Missouri Valley, I think
6:54
in the regular season. They got hot in the turn.
6:56
I'll give them that. They play great defense,
6:58
but their offense blows. They can maybe muck
7:02
it up 10 and a half. It's a little high just
7:04
because St. John's can also kind of play that.
7:07
defensive grinded out style, but, uh, I think
7:10
Johnny's dog walking personally. Okay. Sean.
7:16
Yeah, I've got St. John's. All right. Uh, next
7:19
game, Kansas at Cal Baptist. I guess it's not
7:22
at, it's just neutral size, but it kind of is
7:25
games being played in San Diego. Interesting.
7:31
Okay. Yeah. I don't know if that factors much
7:34
here, but I do have Kansas. Correct. Kansas.
7:39
Yeah, Kansas. CalVap has this one player. I'm
7:43
trying to look his name up right now. I think
7:45
it's like Demetrius Johnson or something like
7:47
that. He's pretty good for that level. Kansas
7:56
has future lottery pick and a lot of other really
7:59
good fucking players. Kansas. Yeah, Kansas is
8:02
kind of a powerhouse program. I feel like they're
8:06
always kind of in the mix. for the most part.
8:09
Number four seeds have won 79 .4 % of meetings
8:14
with 13 seeds. Interesting. That guy's name for
8:19
Cowbap is Dominique Daniels, by the way. Want
8:21
to put some respect on his name. He played a
8:23
really great game in the WAC championship. Shout
8:26
out Demetrius Johnson, or whatever name you said
8:30
before. Dominique Daniels. Oh yeah, the name
8:33
I said before, Demetrius Johnson. Yeah, that
8:36
was not particularly close, but. Yeah. Whatever,
8:43
we're just having a good time. Next game, Louisville
8:46
at South Florida. I have Louisville. I got a
8:51
little bit of upset here. OK, South Florida.
8:57
Don't know why. I got South Florida, too. They're
9:01
really fucking hot right now. They tore through
9:04
the American tournament. I think they won every
9:06
game by double digits. They're a really fucking
9:09
good team. Head coaches from the NATO's coaching
9:11
tree. So they play really fast. They shoot a
9:13
shit ton of threes. Unlike Alabama though, they
9:17
actually give a shit about defense. They're a
9:20
pretty solid defensive team. Louisville's best
9:22
player is questionable for this game, I believe.
9:25
I haven't done any research today on it. I like
9:29
USF. I, they are kind of like the trendy dog
9:32
and those never really pan out that great in
9:35
the tournament. But, uh, I don't care. I like
9:38
this team. Um, I think they can make it run.
9:41
I got, I got them out right in this one and I
9:44
will be betting that as well. Well, plus five
9:46
and a half, maybe sprinkle money on. All right.
9:49
It is now four and a half, four and a fuck. Okay.
9:53
I might just take the money line. All right,
9:59
and then Michigan State playing North Dakota
10:03
State I have Michigan State Tom Izzo Good coach
10:09
the sweatiest man in America. Oh No, the sweatiest
10:13
man in America was Bruce Pearl Wasn't there a
10:15
bunch of memes about Bruce Pearl on selection
10:18
Sunday? Wasn't he sweating on selection Sunday
10:20
or something? Yeah, I mean he was Crying because
10:24
his son didn't get in the tournament rightfully
10:27
so, because that team is dog shit. Yeah, Bruce
10:31
Pearl's a joke. I can go off on that tangent
10:35
later, because I do have some opinions on that.
10:39
But yes, definitely a sweaty man. Tom Izzo, now
10:43
that Pearl has retired or quit, whatever you
10:46
want to call it, I'd say Izzo is probably the
10:49
sweatiest coach in America. Trying to think of
10:53
others. He's up there. I got Michigan State.
10:57
He's got to be up there. Michigan State. Tom
11:00
Izzo. Tom Izzo. All right. Next game, UCLA at
11:05
UCF. I have UCF. I also have UCF. I've got UCLA.
11:17
I didn't really know what to do with this game.
11:19
This is pretty much my dad's a UCLA fan. So just
11:22
picking them. I don't know if I'm going to bet
11:24
this game. UCLA is playing quietly pretty well
11:28
lately. Beat Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament,
11:33
but I just UCF. I mean, they're not. Neither
11:36
of these teams are particularly great. It's just
11:38
UCLA is playing slightly better right now. And
11:41
then my dad's favorite team, so I'm rolling with
11:43
them for now. Don't know if I'm going to bet
11:45
it probably won't. I might not even end up picking
11:47
them in my bracket, but as of now it's UCLA.
11:51
Alright, next game, Yukon Furman. I mean, I have
11:55
UConn, like Dan Hurley as a certified psycho.
11:59
So, and I mean, UConn, they've been great the
12:03
past couple of years. So I have no reason not
12:05
to pick them. Yeah, absolutely. UConn. I've got
12:11
UConn as well. I don't know what the spread is
12:13
on this one. I might be betting Furman to cover.
12:16
I was doing some research on them today. They
12:18
are white hot offensively. They were like pedestrian
12:23
at best in the regular season. They scored 81
12:27
points a game, I think, in the three -game stretch
12:29
in the commerce tournament, which is like 10,
12:32
15 points higher than their average. If they
12:35
can stay hot offensively, I know they've had
12:37
time to cool off and UConn is a very good team,
12:41
but if they can stay hot, UConn's offense kind
12:45
of goes through lulls. randomly during games.
12:49
So, uh, might take from the cover, but, um, yeah,
12:52
I think you kind of wins it. That, uh, that line
12:54
is 20 and a half, by the way. Ooh, ooh, I like
12:57
that. I'll probably take that. Um, Furman was
13:01
the, oh, good. Good. I was like, Furman was the
13:04
team that beat Virginia a couple of years ago
13:06
and that wild ending when like Virginia just
13:10
chucked it down the court and got stolen and
13:12
Furman came down, hit a three. I don't remember
13:14
what the seeding, the seed line in that one was,
13:16
but. because Furman has done it before. Well,
13:23
number two seeds are 149 to 11 versus 15 seeds.
13:30
However, a 15 seed game, 15 seed won a game in
13:35
2021, 2022, and 2023, the only time doing so
13:39
in three consecutive tournaments. So 15s are
13:42
kind of hot right now. trending upward. They
13:48
also won one in 16, 15? 15 or 16. What year was
13:54
it when MT won? That's, yeah. I can't remember.
13:59
I can't remember if it was 15 or 16. I think
14:01
it was 16. I think so, because I think it was
14:06
my sophomore year. It had to be 16. Yeah. Spring
14:10
break. No. I remember campus being empty. I feel
14:18
like I think it was. I feel like this March Madness
14:22
is kind of a little bit later in March. Just
14:26
from my standpoint, I could be incredibly wrong,
14:28
but it feels like March Madness is a bit earlier
14:32
because we're like halfway through March already.
14:36
So I've been saying it's March for almost two
14:40
weeks now. More than two weeks. Yeah, more than
14:44
two weeks. Okay, moving on to the south we have
14:50
Florida versus PVA MU or Lehigh Depending on
14:56
I think that game is either today or tomorrow.
14:58
I don't know who's to say But I have Florida.
15:01
I mean, I feel like it's pretty cut and dry Yeah,
15:05
I mean yeah Florida could very well win this
15:09
whole damn thing from what I understand so Mean
15:14
they would be crazy. Oh, I'd love to see it would
15:17
be crazy Yeah, I fucking love it, but yeah, it
15:21
ain't happen would be met would be madness It's
15:27
madness moving on Clemson in Iowa. I have Iowa
15:32
No particular reason why I Also have Iowa I feel
15:38
like these eight and nine seeds are a flip of
15:40
the coin Go one way or the other. Yeah, pretty
15:44
much. I'm on Iowa as well. Bennett Sturtz is
15:48
Iowa's best player. He's the best player on the,
15:52
he's going to be the best player on the floor
15:53
for either team. So I thought I liked him. This
15:56
is the same guy and the same coach I was who
15:59
were at Drake last year when they beat Missouri.
16:02
A little fun fact, but yeah, it just, Clemson's
16:06
offense is terrible. So yeah, I'll take Iowa.
16:09
I'll probably bet it as well. All right, and
16:12
that spread is two and a half They favored by
16:17
two and a half. They are make sense All right
16:23
moving on Vanderbilt against McNeese I have Vanderbilt
16:27
Yeah, they're yeah much I hate to say it they're
16:33
on fire. Yeah Then Nebraska and Troy. I have
16:41
Troy. I was listening to a podcast today. I heard
16:45
John Rothstein talking about it. I don't know.
16:49
He's like a college basketball guy. He was like,
16:51
Troy can do the upset. And I was like, okay.
16:56
But that's it. Yeah. I have Troy, too. Nebraska,
17:00
famously, has never won an NCAA tournament game.
17:03
They've been kind of up and down lately. They
17:05
started out 20 -0, I think, and they finished
17:09
six and six I believe in their last 12. I just
17:12
don't really have much faith in this team honestly.
17:15
I'm not saying Troy is like gonna walk in there
17:17
and like easily win this game, but Troy's not
17:19
half bad. They got a lot of size and Nebraska
17:21
has struggled with like down low against guys
17:26
with like a decent size. So I think Troy can
17:29
keep it close. Just funny. I know you're not
17:33
a college basketball guy, but just describing
17:36
John Rothstein as a college basketball guy is
17:39
like calling the Pope like just a, just a Catholic.
17:45
I mean, I heard him talk and he was like, I haven't
17:48
watched a Monday night football game since Akeman
17:51
was on the Cowboys. He was, he was the guy back
17:55
during the whole Demar Hamlin thing. Like when
17:57
it was happening live, when people were like,
17:59
Oh my God, like what's happening? And he's like,
18:01
um, Like Long Island and Elon will resume their
18:06
home and home stretch in twenty twenty eight.
18:10
Like this guy doesn't give a fuck about anything
18:11
but college basketball. That's. What a sicko.
18:18
Yeah, he's a yeah, he's the one who's like, oh,
18:21
such basketball. Yeah. He is. I know it's just
18:28
funny. Pope's Catholic. It's also true. Yeah.
18:35
I mean, you were not incorrect in your statement.
18:39
I just, I'm laughing at Chris's explanation of
18:42
who John Ralph. Honestly, I don't really know
18:46
who that guy was either. If I'm being completely,
18:48
he's a wild follow on Twitter because I mean,
18:51
it's just college basketball. Yeah. No matter
18:54
just it's all he talks, all he thinks about.
18:59
Calling the Pope just a cat. I call him the Dalai
19:05
Lama, just a guy. I mean, yeah. Anyway. Oh, shit.
19:15
Sean, you give your pick. It's funny. No, I did
19:18
not. I had Nebraska, but I think I'm going to
19:21
switch to Detroit. He also made some very convincing
19:23
arguments. And not really arguments, but points.
19:27
This is my family bracket. So I'm in it to win
19:30
it. And this is how you get points right here.
19:33
So submit. All right. All right, then North Carolina
19:39
VCU. I have VCU. Heard a little something from
19:44
John Rothstein. I don't remember what it was
19:47
specifically, but... That guy. Yeah, that guy.
19:52
That college football sicko. So I have VCU. I
19:56
have nothing to back it up. I've got VCU as well.
20:00
North Carolina's best players hurt. VCU is white
20:04
lava hot right now. I think they take it. All
20:09
right. There it is. Sean? I have VCU. No reason
20:16
really other than I feel like these 11 and sixes
20:19
have more upsets than I remember. It's either
20:22
11 and six or 12 and fives. I can't remember.
20:25
The 12 and fives were like the historic, for
20:28
a good like 10 years there, maybe more, were
20:30
like the like, hey, like at least one of these
20:33
12s is winning. There's one year, 21, I think,
20:37
I think at two or three, one. And Tennessee was
20:41
one of the fives that year. But yeah, now recently
20:44
it's been more the 11 and sixes, probably in
20:46
the last like five years or so. Okay. Well, let's
20:51
pull up. Let's see if trend center's got anything.
20:57
Does trend center, do they have anything for
21:00
like the seating? I don't have a shit ton of
21:03
filters. Yeah. They've got all March madness
21:06
stuff you can filter through. Oh shit. I guess
21:10
I should have looked that up before the show.
21:14
I haven't done an in -depth dive on that lately,
21:16
but I will be doing one probably, I guess it
21:19
has to be tomorrow because Thursday's. The big
21:23
day. The big day. I don't see really any good
21:28
trends to shout out, but there's four trends
21:31
on the under for VCU North Carolina. Don't hate
21:36
that. VCU's got pretty solid defense. And that
21:40
over under is 153 and a half. All right. Kind
21:46
of like that. Pretty high, pretty high. I like
21:47
that. Pretty high. There it is. Might be taken.
21:51
All right, then next game, Illinois and Penn.
21:55
I have Illinois. No reason. Illinois? Yeah, Illinois.
22:03
Penn's best player has hurt, has a concussion,
22:06
hasn't played since like the beginning of the
22:09
month. Yeah, Illinois. Even if he's healthy,
22:13
Illinois probably rolls. There's much more talented.
22:15
Penn was a three seed in the Ivy League tournament,
22:20
which in the Ivy league tournament only four
22:21
teams make it so it's not like that being three
22:24
seats not particularly great in that and they
22:26
won both their games and overtime and pretty
22:29
big upsets so they're I would say they're lucky
22:31
to be here but they were definitely not expected
22:34
to be here so yeah Illinois probably in route
22:37
spread is 24 and a half yeah okay all right then
22:44
next game is Saint Mary's Texas A &M I have Saint
22:47
Mary's That's about it. I've got St. Mary's probably
22:57
not gonna bet it. I hate both of these teams.
23:01
St. Mary's always kind of crumbles in the tournament,
23:03
but Texas A &M has been playing like dog shit
23:05
lately. So I'm going with Mary's just because
23:08
they are the better team right now, but I'm probably
23:11
not going to touch it in real life. IRL. Next
23:18
game, Houston, Idaho. I have Houston, sorry.
23:22
Oh, damn. Sorry. Yeah. Cougs are there. Alright.
23:30
Houston. Houston. Houston? Houston. Now we're
23:38
going to the west. Arizona and Long Island. I'm
23:42
taking Arizona. Yeah. Zona. Okay. Easy. And then
23:50
Villanova, Utah State. I have Villanova. I'm
23:55
going Utah State. Apparently, I'm just going
23:58
to pick all nines in the eight -nine matchup.
24:01
I don't think Villanova is particularly great.
24:03
Utah State is not awesome either, but I think
24:06
they're better. I think they're playing better
24:08
basketball. That's pretty much it. No real gut
24:13
feeling either way. I don't even know if I'm
24:15
going to bet it or not, but as of now, Utah State.
24:19
Totally fine. I also have Utah State. No real
24:23
reason. They seem to be pretty deadlocked on
24:28
which way you... I don't know if you guys can
24:31
see analytics on who's been picking which side,
24:35
but they're about even. Villanova's got the slight
24:38
edge, but like a little underdog. They're favored
24:42
in this game, so they're not really underdogs.
24:46
Utah State's favored? Yeah. One and a half. Interesting.
24:52
Interesting. All right. Then next game, Wisconsin
24:56
and high point. I have Wisconsin. Yeah, Wisco
25:03
had high point on the spread last year against
25:07
Purdue. They were like they were the sexy underdog.
25:10
Like, hey, this team scores a lot of points.
25:12
They they run the ball around really fast, but
25:14
they shut the bed. Um, they still do that this
25:17
year, but so does Wisconsin and they honestly
25:19
just do it a hell of a lot better. So Wisconsin
25:22
probably by a lot of points. There it is. All
25:26
right. Uh, Arkansas and Hawaii. I have Arkansas.
25:33
Didn't they win the SEC? Yeah. They won the SEC
25:35
tournament. Um, yeah. Hawaii, uh, plays a really
25:41
interesting brand of defense. They don't switch
25:43
on like any, like on anything so it's like your
25:47
man is your man like they'll do like some help
25:49
occasionally but they will never just switch
25:52
defenders it's pretty it's weird it makes it
25:56
mixes a lot of teams up they lead the um for
25:59
their fourth in the country and assist to turnover
26:02
uh ratio um that's all fine and dandy in the
26:05
big west but Darius Acuff the the Arkansas point
26:09
guard is one of the best players in the country
26:11
so good luck guarding him straight up um Arkansas
26:14
probably bye fucking lot. All right. There it
26:19
is. Then BYU versus Texas or NC State. I have
26:27
I actually have Texas or NC State marked down
26:30
here. No reason. I thought it'd be fun. I don't
26:36
hate that. I don't particularly love BYU, but
26:39
they have AJ Devansa who may well be the number
26:43
one overall pick. But that's pretty much it.
26:45
Their other great player, Richie Saunders, tore
26:47
his ACL a few weeks ago. I don't love BYU, but
26:51
I have him win this game. I think I have him
26:53
going out next round, but spoiler alert. But
26:56
I don't hate an upset here, depending on who
26:58
wins Texas NC State tonight. But I'm going with
27:01
the Cougs for now. The Mormons. Yeah. Mormons
27:06
all the way. Brigham Young. Yeah. All right.
27:14
The next game Gonzaga versus Kennesaw State.
27:18
I got the Zags. Yeah, Zags, easy. Kennesaw. Yeah.
27:25
Kennesaw's not good. Gonzaga, historically good.
27:32
Yeah. And the next game is Miami, Florida versus
27:40
Missouri. And I have Miami. Also, Miami, I understand
27:48
that Missouri may be frauds, may not deserve
27:52
to be here. It's my understanding. It's not what
27:55
I'm saying, but this is what I've been told.
27:59
So I'm going with Miami. Yeah, I'm taking Miami
28:02
as well. Missouri, I don't know if I got frauds,
28:05
but they're not particularly great. Miami struggled
28:08
against kind of like the upper echelon teams
28:09
they've played this season, but. I think they're
28:12
slightly better than Missouri. Yeah, I'm taking
28:16
Canes. Plus, I love Miami basketball ever since
28:19
like two or three years ago, maybe. I bet on
28:22
them a lot in the tournament and they went to
28:24
the Elite Eight. That was a lot of fun. Miami.
28:29
All right. The next is Purdue versus Queens,
28:35
North Carolina. I have Purdue. Purdue. Purdue.
28:44
All right, there it is. That's it. I mean, what
28:49
are we going to talk about? Then we're going
28:53
to the Midwest. We have Michigan, the ones who
28:58
are playing Howard. I have Michigan. Yeah, Michigan.
29:06
This is another team I think could win the whole
29:09
damn thing. They're really fucking good. Yeah.
29:15
Yeah. Could do it. All right. The next game is
29:19
Georgia versus St. Louis. I have Georgia. I have
29:26
Georgia selected. I don't know. I don't think.
29:29
They're particularly good. St. Louis was like
29:32
the best mid -major team in the country for a
29:34
while. They're kind of falling off a little bit.
29:36
I don't remember if you remember. I don't know
29:38
if you remember the guy from last year, Kareem
29:40
Abdul -Jabbar, the white guy, the goofy white
29:43
guy with the goggles who played at Indiana State.
29:45
Yeah, he transferred to St. Louis. I don't think
29:49
they're particularly great, but I don't think
29:51
George is either. Fuck it. I'm switching to St.
29:53
Louis just for the vibes. Probably won't bet
29:56
it, but yeah. OK, there it is. I also have Saint
30:04
Louis. I knew that cream cream Abdul Jabbar or
30:09
Robbie Alva. Yeah, Alvia Avila or Henry. I don't
30:14
know if that's how he pronounces it, but it's
30:17
how I'm saying it. Yeah, I knew he was on this
30:22
team. Also like their little monster just as
30:25
a little mascot. Who's this guy? It's crazy.
30:31
Have fun. I've been watching college basketball
30:34
for a long time. I've never looked up what exactly
30:37
the fuck a Billiken is or is supposed to be.
30:41
So yeah. But yeah, they definitely have probably
30:45
the most unique logo in college basketball. What
30:50
is a Billiken? A mythical good luck figure created
30:53
in 1908 by Missouri art teacher Florence Pretz.
30:58
Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Hmm. Learn something
31:01
new. American creation, too. Missouri. Get off
31:08
the pipe, Missouri. All right. Next game, Texas
31:13
Tech versus playing playing Akron. I have Texas
31:17
Tech. I think they were like white lava hot at
31:19
one point. Don't they have that fucking guy who
31:23
rarely plays but when he plays his lights out?
31:27
No, that's Darren Peterson. That's Kansas. But
31:31
yeah. I'm going Akron. Let's have some fun. Texas
31:38
Tech, JT Toppin, best player towards ACL a few
31:40
weeks ago. They were treading water there for
31:44
a little bit. They've kind of gone, I don't want
31:46
to say gone down the shitter, but it's not looking
31:48
great. Akron, really fucking good team. They
31:51
can shoot the hell out of the ball. And I don't
31:54
think they can get hot. Let's have some fun.
31:55
Go zips. Yes, I also have Akron for fun and vibes.
32:04
OK, I like it. There it is. All right, then then
32:08
Alabama and Hofstra. I have Alabama. Alabama,
32:14
unfortunately, yeah. All right, then the next
32:20
game, Tennessee versus either Miami, Ohio or
32:23
SMU. I have Tennessee. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Tennessee.
32:32
I'm not really looking forward to watching this
32:34
basketball game, regardless of who we play, but
32:36
Tennessee. Okay. All right. Then it's Virginia
32:42
versus Wright State. I have Virginia. Yeah. Virginia.
32:49
I feel like they're really fucking good, right?
32:52
Yeah. They gave Duke a game, the ACC championship.
32:54
Yeah. Virginia. All right. Then Kentucky and
33:00
Santa Clara, I have Kentucky. I've got Santa
33:04
Clara. I go ahead and say I'm a little biased
33:08
because fuck Kentucky. But also Kentucky's offense
33:10
just looks at sorts lately. Santa Clara is white
33:13
hot. Granted, I haven't played anyone, but still.
33:17
It is fuck Kentucky always, but I think I can
33:20
see legitimately see Santa Clara winning this
33:22
game. So and it's just It's fun to see Kentucky
33:25
fans furious after a first round exit. So true.
33:29
Go with Bronx. Yeah, got Kentucky, but turn your
33:33
police scanners when they lose this game. All
33:37
right, moving on to the next game. Iowa State
33:42
versus Tennessee State. I have Iowa State even.
33:51
I almost let my. internal thoughts out of my
33:56
head. I feel like Iowa State, because they're
34:06
in the middle of nowhere, has a lot of white
34:08
people. And Tennessee State is an HBCU. Yeah,
34:19
that's enough. Did you expand? John Rothstein
34:26
tell you that? No, John Rothstein did not tell
34:29
me that. I think these white boys can ball. They
34:36
can. They can ball. They can. They can. I got
34:42
Iowa State. I also put a feature on them to win
34:46
the tournament at plus 2500 a few days ago. That
34:51
was before the bracket came out. I think that
34:53
dropped to, like, 1700. My cash out went up by,
34:58
like, $2. They want you to cash out. Don't do
35:04
it. They know something. Iowa State. Let's go,
35:10
clones. Iowa State. All right. Then going back
35:17
to the East for the second round. I have Duke
35:20
versus Ohio State And I have Duke moving on to
35:25
the what is it? Sweet 16 this week the sweet
35:29
16. Yeah, that's where I have them going I've
35:37
got Duke TCU Dukes winning TCU I have, they could,
35:42
they've got some pretty good ones. They beat
35:43
Florida earlier in the season. They'd be Kansas
35:47
maybe. I think another beat Iowa state and I
35:51
believe also Texas tech. Um, they could make
35:55
pull an upset. Probably not. It's Duke though.
35:58
Yeah. Duke's winning. Yeah, I've got Duke Ohio
36:02
state Duke moving on. All right. I'm sorry. Now
36:09
it's the Pritz. get scored on. Oh, I was like,
36:13
if you don't like it, you don't have to pick.
36:15
No, it's nothing to do with basketball at all.
36:20
Basketball. All right, next I got Northern Iowa
36:25
versus Kansas, and then I have Kansas moving
36:27
on to the Sweet 16. Look at the Johnny's in Kansas
36:33
and I got the Johnny's moving on. Same, give
36:37
me the Johnny's. Died I do not like Kansas don't
36:41
like their vibes. I can see this maybe st. John's
36:44
is up by like 10 at the under 12 media timeout
36:48
and Darren Peterson's like, you know what? I've
36:51
had enough go and sub me out. Just give me give
36:53
me to the draft. So yeah, give me the fight in
36:55
Rick Petey knows There it is All right Then the
37:02
next game we got Louisville versus Michigan State
37:05
I do have Louisville here to move on to the sweet
37:10
16 as I feel like as of late, Tom is a if my
37:34
memory serves correct. I've got USF against Michigan
37:37
State. I'm taking the bulls. Let's go on a run.
37:40
USF going to Sweet 16. I've got USF Michigan
37:46
State. I do have Michigan State moving on. I
37:49
think I'm the only one has Michigan State moving
37:51
on. But Tom Izzo is still a good coach. I think
37:56
he's got a pretty easy path to Sweet 16. So he
37:59
better keep. He should capitalize on this But
38:04
yeah, I miss you sweet 16 All right Then next
38:10
game I got UCF versus Yukon and then I have Yukon
38:13
going on to the sweet 16 Same I got UCLA Yukon,
38:21
but yeah, I'm so I'm taking the Yukon It's hard
38:26
to bet against these huskies or we're not really
38:29
betting, but pick against these Huskies. I'll
38:33
probably bet. Okay. All right. Next game, I got
38:38
Florida versus Iowa, and then I got Florida moving
38:40
on. Same. Yep. All right. Wow. So far, we all
38:47
have perfect brackets. Right. Yeah, I guess.
38:53
Yeah, technically. And then I got Vanderbilt
38:59
versus Troy. Then I do have Troy moving on. I
39:06
hope you're right. It could happen. I hope you're
39:07
right. I've got Vandy. I have Vandy -Troy also,
39:10
but yeah, Vandy. Vandy moving on. They're just,
39:12
they're on fire right now. As much as I hate
39:14
it. I hope you're right. I would love for Troy
39:16
to win that game, but Vandy. Yeah. Same as you
39:20
guys, but I've got Vandy moving on. They're just
39:24
too good. They're just too hot right now. Fair
39:27
enough. I think they could make the run. Unfortunately,
39:32
I think you're right. Fair enough. Then next
39:38
game, I got VCU versus Illinois. I have Illinois
39:42
moving on. Same. VCU, Illinois, Illinois moves
39:49
on. And I got St. Mary's versus Houston, and
39:55
I got Houston moving on. Same. I do have Texas
40:01
A &M, Houston, but Houston advances. If it is
40:06
Houston St. Mary's, I don't really care what
40:08
the total is. I'm going to bet that under. That
40:10
might be like a first up, 62 points wins. All
40:15
right. And then moving to the West, Arizona Villanova
40:21
in the second round, I got Zona moving on. Same.
40:27
I got them over Utah State, but yeah, same. Same
40:30
as Chris over Utah. All right. Then Wisconsin
40:35
versus Arkansas. I do have Wisconsin moving on.
40:41
I also have Wisconsin moving on. I've got Arkansas.
40:45
I really hope we get this matchup. That game
40:48
would fucking rock. The total would be in like
40:51
the 170s probably, but it would hit fucking slap.
40:54
So yeah. Arkansas moving on. I just really hope
40:57
we get it. That'd be a very fun basketball game.
40:59
Hell yeah. Then later on I got Texas slash NC
41:06
State versus Gonzaga. I do have Texas slash NC
41:10
State moving on at this point because I think
41:14
I heard John Rothstein say something like Gonzaga's
41:17
got one of their best players that's hurt and
41:19
they don't know if he's going to be able to play
41:21
in the first. Kind of rat first first two rounds.
41:25
So I feel like you know with the easy win against
41:28
Kenesaw State, I feel like then a bit more of
41:32
a challenge comes through in either Texas or
41:35
NC State. And yeah, they just kind of take advantage
41:38
of it. But that's what I got. I got the Zags
41:43
in BYU. I got Kenzag and moving on. Yeah, their
41:46
best player is hurt. He's been out since like
41:47
January though, so they've kind of had time to
41:50
adjust to life without him. I'd still think they
41:52
were an overrated basketball team. Then it wouldn't
41:55
shock me if they lost here, but they've been
41:56
to like a billion sweet 16th in a row. So even
41:59
when they have been overrated, so I begrudgingly
42:03
have a Gonzaga moving on. All right. Yeah, I've
42:10
got Purdue advancing. We're not talking about
42:15
the game yet. Oh, sorry. What are we talking
42:18
about? Talking about The second round of this.
42:23
I'm on the sweet 16. Sorry. Yeah, I've got to
42:29
go over to you. Yeah, that's not even the right
42:32
reach. Well, I know. Well, I was in the sweet
42:36
16 tab by accident. We're good. Then the next
42:43
game is Miami, Florida versus Purdue. And I got
42:45
Purdue moving on. Anyone else? Yeah. All right.
42:59
The second round in the Midwest, I got Michigan
43:03
versus Georgia, but I got Michigan moving on.
43:09
Yeah. Got Michigan too. There it is. I got Michigan
43:15
as well. Sorry. I probably look like I got something
43:18
in my fucking eye. It's annoying. But yeah, Michigan,
43:23
Kate walk. I have them over St. Louis, but I
43:25
think they dominate whoever they get there. Mm
43:28
hmm. Then next game, I got the Texas Tech in
43:32
Alabama. I got Alabama moving on. Mm hmm. No,
43:37
I get Texas Tech over Alabama. I've got Akron
43:42
over Alabama. Let's have some fun with the zips.
43:47
I just, they, both these teams play very similar
43:50
brand. Um, there's left to Chuck threes and run,
43:53
run the ball up and down the court. I mean, if
43:57
Alabama just doesn't play defense, then they
44:00
could lose to really any team who can shoot the
44:03
ball. So, uh, just kind of, I, I don't, I don't
44:09
know if this would actually happen. I don't know
44:10
if Akron is going to be Texas tech, but I'm just
44:12
trying to have some fun Akron all the way. We're
44:15
not all the way. Winning this match. This is
44:21
it. This is it for Akron. All right, then next
44:26
game I got Tennessee versus Virginia, and then
44:29
Virginia moves on. Yeah, unfortunately that is
44:35
the script probably. Yeah, no, no none take this
44:41
does pretty harsh. No, it's pretty harsh. You're
44:43
right. This team Tennessee sucks Virginia Tennessee
44:48
will probably either get out to know what's gonna
44:52
happen is they're gonna score like 20 points
44:54
in the first half then they're gonna make a game
44:56
of it in the second maybe get like a five -point
44:59
lead and then choke and probably score like six
45:01
points the rest of the game Either that or they
45:04
just get dog -walked Virginia All right, then
45:09
next I got Kentucky versus Iowa State and I have
45:12
Kentucky moving on I've got Iowa State, Iowa
45:19
State Santa Clara and I Picked or I put a feature
45:23
on them to win the title. So I have a statement.
45:26
Oh, yeah Sweet 16. What about you Sean? I said
45:34
Iowa All right. Well, going back to the east
45:39
in the suite 16, got Duke versus Kansas. I got
45:44
Duke moving on. I got Duke and the Johnnys. And
45:52
give me St. John's to pull the upset. No real
45:57
gut, like, my legit gut feeling. St. John's is
46:01
really fucking good. They've been playing. Really
46:03
good basketball. I know the biggie sucks, but
46:06
the ACC is exactly great either. So yeah, give
46:09
me Saint Johns to pull the upset and Duke would
46:12
be the first one seed to fall. Yes, I also have
46:16
Saint Johns over Duke. I feel like we don't see
46:20
as much madness. Within the first two rounds
46:23
as we used to, I think the madness starts to
46:26
come later, so this is kind of where the madness
46:29
will start. but the Johnny's over Duke. Yeah
46:36
it uh it felt like in years past the perfect
46:39
march madness is there's like maybe not a bunch
46:44
of upsets in the first two rounds but like a
46:47
decent amount of upsets that makes you say oh
46:52
my god I can't believe this happened but uh and
46:56
then like later on like the madness starts to
46:59
leave and it just you know the big dogs come
47:00
to play And so it is just the best team, which
47:04
to me is a perfect March Madness. The madness
47:08
dies off as the fucking tournament goes on. But
47:14
that's just the way I see it. I hope we get some
47:16
menace this year. We didn't get shit last year.
47:18
We got fucking nothing. I was doing a corny ass
47:22
betting strategy where I bet on every single
47:24
underdog money line. That did not work. I don't
47:30
know if you guys remember that. I remember that,
47:32
yeah. I had forgotten, but I do remember that
47:35
now. That was awful. That was a terrible choice
47:40
by me. I was talking about that, but he's like,
47:43
he was like, uh, yeah, you know, that would be
47:46
a, a really good strategy beforehand before,
47:51
uh, before NIL. I was like, fuck, you're right.
47:57
That was, I believe it was two years ago. Um,
48:00
I don't know. I saw some guy on Twitter was doing
48:02
it. I mean, a bunch of people do it, but this
48:04
one guy was following on Twitter did it. And
48:07
he started off really hot because I think that
48:09
was the year it was like Oakland beat Kentucky.
48:12
And there were a few really big, I don't, was
48:15
that FDU over Purdue? Was it, it might have been,
48:20
I don't remember, but there were a bunch of big
48:21
upsets, especially early on. So I was like, holy
48:24
shit, this is great. And then it kind of slowly
48:26
died off and I think he was still profitable
48:28
only by like a handful of units. So it was like,
48:31
yeah, it was profitable, but it wasn't very fun
48:35
in the long run. Like you start out just ripping
48:37
it like, holy shit, this is the best. And then
48:39
as the tournament went on, lost most of it. Yeah.
48:45
Anyways, moving on. Uh, the next game in the
48:48
sweet 16, I got Louisville versus Yukon. I have
48:52
Louisville moving on. Interesting. Don't hate
48:57
that. I don't, I mean, I don't hate it because
48:58
I get usf Yukon and I got usf moving on to the
49:01
elite eight. I think, I mean, if they get hot,
49:04
why the fuck not? Uh, I think it's funny. And,
49:08
uh, in the region of most, not to say mostly,
49:11
but peppered with blue bloods, I have. St. John's
49:15
and USF. Which St. John's is, they got Rick Pitino,
49:19
so that's something, but it's just funny. Duke,
49:23
Yukon, Kansas, and I get USF St. John's. Hey,
49:29
tis the season for madness. Oh, yeah. I got Michigan
49:35
State over Yukon. No reason. Just let's get Izzo
49:42
that. That one last run. Fair enough. It's the
49:49
hope that keeps you going. It also kills you.
49:53
Yeah. My hope is to be hopeless. All right. Next
50:00
game I got Florida versus Troy and I have Florida
50:03
moving on. I got Florida Vandy, but I got Florida
50:09
getting some revenge and moving on. Yeah, I got
50:14
Florida Vandy. I do have Vandy moving on. Ooh,
50:17
I mean they did just kind of whoop them in the
50:20
SEC tournament. Yeah. I don't know. They could.
50:27
I know I said Florida could probably win this
50:28
whole damn thing and they probably could. But
50:32
it's a bracket so. It's possible. No, just see.
50:39
Then the next game I got Illinois versus Houston
50:41
and I have Houston moving on Same same All right
50:50
Then back to the West in sweet 16. I got Arizona
50:54
versus Wisconsin and I got I got Arizona moving
50:58
on I Got Arizona Arkansas, I think that'd be
51:03
a and also a hell of a basketball game Arizona
51:07
is better defensively, so I'll take them. I get
51:12
the same as you will. Zona over Wisconsin. Give
51:15
me Zona to the Elite Eight. Okay. Then the next
51:20
game is the 11 seed, which will be Texas. Well,
51:24
for me, which will be Texas or NC State versus
51:27
Purdue. I have Purdue. I have... Oh, I was a...
51:35
No, sorry. This is the one I was looking at earlier.
51:38
I have Purdue over Gonzaga. I was looking at
51:45
the next round when I was essentially the same
51:48
thing John was doing earlier. I was very confused.
51:51
So yes, my apologies, Sean. I got Miami over
51:55
Purdue because fuck Purdue. Fair enough. They're
52:01
on like, I don't want to say ungodly, but they
52:03
are playing kind of above their pay grade right
52:04
now. I think they cool off here. Uh, that's that
52:09
was, that's the second round game. Moving on
52:13
that. That's, this is the, uh, the sweet 16.
52:18
Got my name here. All right. Um, all right. Then
52:27
the Midwest in the Sweet 16, I got Michigan versus
52:31
Alabama and I have Alabama winning. I got Michigan
52:38
over Akron. Yep. Yeah. That's what I got. Michigan
52:43
over Akron. Akron is going to be fun. Akron Sweet
52:47
16 would be electric. Yeah. And honestly, if
52:51
they're just like that hot, they could win this
52:54
game. Michigan's offense is not particularly
52:56
Great at the moment. They're not. I'm not doing
53:01
it. But if you set me down in a couple of weeks
53:05
and was like, hey, Akron beat Michigan, I'd be
53:08
like, I can see that. I'd be surprised, but I
53:10
wouldn't be like FDU Purdue. Like, holy shit,
53:13
how did this happen? But I can't. No, Michigan,
53:19
Michigan. All right. The next game I got Virginia
53:27
versus Kentucky and I have Virginia winning I
53:33
Got Virginia Iowa State cyclones moving on Yeah,
53:38
I got Virginia Iowa State I do have Virginia
53:41
moving on To the elite eight All right, and then
53:47
in back in the east and the elite eight I got
53:51
Duke versus Louisville and I got Duke Makes sense.
53:57
I got the Johnny's and USF. I really wanted to
54:01
pull the trigger on USF Final Four, but I don't
54:03
think it's happened. St. John's. I got St. John's,
54:09
Michigan State. I do have the John. He's moving
54:11
on to the Final Four. Crazy. I will. It's madness.
54:20
All right, in the South, in the Elite Eight,
54:23
I got Florida versus Houston. And I got Florida
54:26
moving on. Ooh, I mean, not a big surprise, but
54:31
I got Houston rematch of last year's national
54:34
championship. Yeah, but Houston gets revenge
54:39
this guy. Go Cougs. I've got Vandy Houston. Houston's
54:47
moving on. Vanderbilt's run ends here. Vanderbilt
54:51
to make the Elite 8 is plus 390 though. I thought
54:56
it'd be higher than that, personally. I mean,
54:57
they are hot right now. I thought it'd be higher.
55:00
It's pretty crazy. What's Miami to get to the
55:03
Elite 8? Miami to get to the Elite 8? Oh, how
55:10
did I do this? It was so hard to find this. Oh,
55:12
never mind. You don't have to look. I thought
55:13
you just had a list of Elite 8 features. No,
55:17
I looked up specifically WIP. Oh, OK. Well, you
55:20
don't have to look it up, then. It's not a big
55:21
deal. I'll find it. Shouldn't bet that that feels
55:24
like an irresponsible bet. I'm not gonna I'm
55:26
not gonna do that All right, well I'm moving
55:30
on to the West in the elite eight I have Arizona
55:34
versus Purdue and I have Purdue winning going
55:39
to the Final Four I Got Zona Miami Arizona takes
55:46
pretty easily if this somehow is the matchup
55:49
I was I would say somehow but If this is matchup,
55:53
Arizona wins easily. Miami Elite A is plus 1300.
56:02
Yeah, I've got Arizona over Purdue. Interesting.
56:08
1300. Sit on it. Have a sleep on it. Have a dream
56:16
about it. If I do have a dream about it, I will
56:21
bet it. You have to. Yes. Came to me in a dream.
56:29
Burn your freaking house down. All right, moving
56:36
on to the Midwest. In the Elite Eight, I have
56:38
Alabama versus Virginia, and I have Alabama moving
56:41
on to the Final Four. I'll be very sad if that
56:46
happens. I got Michigan, Iowa State, taking Iowa
56:52
State. I got Michigan, Virginia, taking Michigan
56:57
to the final four. All right, now we're on to
57:01
the final four. Final four teams. First matchup,
57:07
I got Duke versus Florida, both one seeds, and
57:10
I got Florida taking it. On to the championship.
57:17
I got the Johnnys in Houston. Johnny's run ends
57:19
here. Houston goes back to the national championship.
57:23
Yes, I have that as well. The St. John's run
57:28
was fun, but it's got to end sometime. Alright,
57:34
and then in the other game I got Purdue versus
57:36
Alabama and I have Purdue moving on to the championship
57:40
game. Alright, so who's your? So it's Florida,
57:45
Purdue for your for your last two. Yeah. OK.
57:52
I've got Zona, Michigan. With Michigan going
57:57
to the championship. So Houston, Michigan will
58:02
be the national championship. In my bracket.
58:07
I've got Arizona, Iowa State rematch of the Big
58:12
12 semifinal we just saw. barn burner. But Iowa
58:17
State takes this one. I believe this would be
58:18
the fourth time they would play this season if
58:22
this happens. But give me Iowa State going to
58:25
the natty. First time ever. All right. And then
58:30
in the championship game, I got Florida winning
58:34
against Purdue tiebreaker 87 to 56. I've got
58:42
Michigan over Houston. How many total points
58:47
will be scored in the championship game? Yeah,
58:49
where did you get the 25? Yeah, where did you
58:51
get that? 125. That's a load. Yeah, it's a championship.
58:57
Yeah, I mean, it could happen. Yeah, well, you
59:01
had the final score thing. The ESPN is just the
59:04
total points. I'm on the ncda .com. ESPN used
59:10
to do final score. I don't know when they switched
59:11
to the total points. Yeah, it's very interesting
59:16
on the fantasy app What about you Chris I got
59:25
Iowa State over Houston Houston loses and heartbreak
59:27
once again in the national championship I didn't
59:29
realize or I didn't remember that I did that
59:32
I feel bad doing that to Houston again, but Iowa
59:35
State takes it and cashes my plus 2500 ticket
59:38
Total points 142. I'll say final score is 74
59:42
68 Yeah, that's wonderful too, right? Yeah. Yeah.
59:49
Cool. Math. It's not a math podcast, but it is
59:53
a numbers podcast. Have I been the quickest I've
59:56
ever added two numbers? That's why I was so surprised.
1:00:00
I would have to question if it was right. You
1:00:02
didn't even have to count on your fingers. I
1:00:04
didn't. That would have been a lot of count.
1:00:05
We would have been here for a second. Nobody
1:00:10
talks to me. I just exited out of this the tournament
1:00:14
challenge on the fantasy app and then I saw our
1:00:17
Fantasy football league and I got sad Should
1:00:22
we do my off fuck lowest bracket score has to
1:00:27
be No, I'm not doing that not for this there
1:00:32
should be no This is fun. This is supposed to
1:00:36
be fun. This doesn't deserve a punishment Yeah
1:00:42
So get off your ass and do some math math math
1:00:48
math shoutout school rock Some are saying some
1:00:58
some will say yes All right Well, that's the
1:01:06
tournament and no matter how it goes, we'll still
1:01:08
be great friends. It depends on how much money
1:01:13
we all lose, but yeah. Well, I can't get any
1:01:17
worse than last year. There's nowhere to go but
1:01:21
up. It really isn't. I like that mentality. If
1:01:26
I had a dart board for every single matchup and
1:01:30
I just closed my eyes and I threw it at it. I
1:01:35
probably would have won more games. Cause I probably
1:01:39
would have hit a favorite here and there. That's
1:01:43
not, I mean, maybe this year and last year, probably
1:01:48
not the best strategy for that, but maybe in
1:01:50
years prior when upsets were more abound, that
1:01:53
would have been a fun thing to do. Yes, I did
1:01:56
the research. I did the research and it was like,
1:01:59
if you just bet the money line on all the, all
1:02:03
the underdogs, You will come out on top. You'll
1:02:06
lose most of your bets, but because the odds
1:02:08
are so big There's gonna be a couple upsets here.
1:02:11
Like it's gonna be it's gonna be good It's gonna
1:02:14
be a it's gonna be a good time and I was like,
1:02:16
all right seems fair enough. So That's what I
1:02:20
did. You can you can check back check the tape
1:02:23
back a year from now or a year ago and obviously
1:02:29
See the turmoil I'm in for like the first For
1:02:36
all of it really there was no going back back
1:02:38
and look as I said I do count on go back in what's
1:02:42
your mood change there at the wings Well, like
1:02:46
I remember the first two rounds I was like, you
1:02:49
know, that was ass Surely there will be some
1:02:52
upsets Here because like all the teams are good
1:02:56
No There I mean there was like one or two upsets
1:03:01
like I think You know, there were like eights
1:03:05
and nines that were upsets and like maybe Maybe
1:03:11
like a What comes with what's it like it like
1:03:14
a seven and ten I remember McNeese speak Clemson
1:03:19
in the 12 five, but they weren't really big I
1:03:23
think they were like seven point dogs. There's
1:03:26
nothing crazy then Arkansas was the only double
1:03:30
-digit seed to make the Elite eight, I think.
1:03:33
And it was like, that was supposed to be like,
1:03:35
this is your Cinderella and it's John Calipari,
1:03:38
one of the most accomplished college basketball
1:03:40
coaches of all time. Yeah. Yeah. I remember it
1:03:46
was not, it was not good. I'm not doing that
1:03:48
again. The elite eight and like final four and
1:03:51
championship game were very entertaining, but
1:03:54
everything before that sucked. Yeah. In terms
1:03:57
of like entertaining basketball, like These are
1:04:00
like the lead eight like these are the best teams.
1:04:03
Yeah So which you'll get it. I mean on the worst
1:04:07
term in your you should get an entertaining lead
1:04:09
eight, but Right. Yeah that last year. It was
1:04:12
just the for two rounds before it was terrible
1:04:15
in terms of just entertainment Yeah There was
1:04:20
nothing to a jump out of my seat for I Think
1:04:25
I had some buzzer beaters not go my way last
1:04:28
year If I remember correctly, I remember the
1:04:32
first Night, I think it was the first night I
1:04:37
had Michigan minus two and a half against UC
1:04:40
San Diego and Michigan was like 25 like at half
1:04:43
I was like, oh, this is fucking cruising. Let's
1:04:45
go the San Diego came back and Michigan ended
1:04:48
up covering by the hook and it was that was like
1:04:51
I think the Jump out of my chair moment. It wasn't
1:04:53
even it was just for like sweating out of Bet
1:04:56
it wasn't like holy shit basketball is awesome
1:04:59
Anyone can win yeah any time nope You just watched
1:05:09
a regular basketball game That you put money
1:05:13
on But that's the past and the future is now
1:05:18
this week. I Hope reason will prevail. Yes reason
1:05:23
will prevail Well, and it's madness. There's
1:05:27
no reason Well, we want meds we don't Shit you're
1:05:34
right We have to go back to the old side of screaming
1:05:38
and yelling at each other through violent attack
1:05:41
Put my thumb through your eye you little bitch
1:05:44
That's the only way I know how to get my point
1:05:49
across through violence and physical attack incredible
1:05:56
yeah but uh show of all time but uh now i'm getting
1:06:03
sad i can't get sad we're two days away from
1:06:07
the best weekend on the sporting calendar yes
1:06:10
i will be sad for the rest of tonight and then
1:06:14
it'll be gone because tomorrow i'll be doing
1:06:16
my research at night for for thursday because
1:06:20
i do have to work a full day on thursday which
1:06:22
i Thankfully haven't had to do the past couple
1:06:26
of years, which has been pretty fortunate for
1:06:28
me, but you should quit Well, I'm just gonna
1:06:32
watch the TV's at your office No only in the
1:06:37
in the big offices that are for one person, but
1:06:41
I'll just watch it on my phone So I've been Yeah,
1:06:48
I've been going in the office this week and they've
1:06:50
got TVs like all like in the just on the walls.
1:06:56
So I've heard those will be tuned in. Yeah, that's
1:07:00
pretty fucking sweet. Yeah. Hell yeah. They should
1:07:05
do like a like a red zone for this. That could
1:07:10
be entertaining. I know the quad box is really
1:07:14
nice on on YouTube TV. So I'll be having YouTube
1:07:18
TV for I think until the end of the tournament.
1:07:22
I want to say CBS Sports Network might do, it's
1:07:29
not like a red zone per se, but it's a similar,
1:07:31
they do like live recaps and shit like while
1:07:33
it's going on. Don't quote me on that. I'm not
1:07:37
100 % sure. I want to say they do something similar.
1:07:42
Okay. We'll have to see. We'll have to see what
1:07:46
happens. Alright, I think that's uh, that's good
1:07:50
enough time to uh to end it as a As a good place.
1:07:53
