  Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We are on OWN seven run over the last two
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: days after tonight it was just complete bullshit. So that's
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible Sunday one
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and five.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: slump continuing, two straight losses.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Not a good day at all. Own four that have
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: not had a good season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Man with wickends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: slump continues.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I've reached a new peak.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm going to burn my browins hack Man, I
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: don't know what is going on with the Bruins arch hape?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I don't even know it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: March ninth, I think who even knows? Man, I don't
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: know what data is anymore. I don't even know what
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: data is anymore. Man, back with you after.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The worst day that I could possibly have with you,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: as I always am until I die at least oh
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and two yesterday and yesterday did not go well for me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: my eighteen years doing this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: To the slump, the.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: point other than potentially end it all. What's up, burdbody,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It's sewed back with you with Toadstool Sports. It is Saturday,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow's selection Sunday, man, It's Saturday, March fourteenth, March madness
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in full swing. We got some more conference tournament finals
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to talk about today. I think we had no finals yesterday,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: so no more auto bits clinched.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But we're going to talk about all the games today.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Fewer games today yesterday, So there is that one in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: one yesterday with a slight win. Though, if you do
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: what I recommend and then sprinkle on the money line
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: on these underdogs Davidson, that was kind of bullshit, man.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I mean they were within one point probably several minutes
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: into the second half, and then all of a sudden,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: they're down like eighteen.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what is happening right now?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Parity in that game was unbelievable, Like there was a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: point where I don't know what the final box score
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: results were, but there was a point where they were
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: on the wrong end of like a twenty five to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: eight free throw attempt disparity. I mean, you're not gonna
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: win a game when that happens, When the refing, the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: foul calling is all that one sided. I mean, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: just it's such bullshit. The game should have been a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: lot closer. And then then we did get the outright
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: win as I was alluding to with UCLA, who pretty
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: much led that game like Wyre to wire for the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: most part. So that worked out pretty well Ucla with
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the upset of Michigan State. Not a fan of UCLA,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: but I am a fan of getting things right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So there you go. I don't love the board today.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna give up one college basketball play, one
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: NBA play. The college basketball getting a little bit limited
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: with the way that I handicapped these tournaments because I'm
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: still looking for like spots where we can catch a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: team that hasn't played yet in the tournament, and we
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: have one conference that's doing that has such an insane
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: structure that we could still actually find a spot like
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that today. So that's where I'm going. So you probably
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: already know what it is. Akron and the Tee Wolves. Yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I was wrong on the t Wolves game Akron. Uh
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: wait did Acron cover? I don't even remember. I guess
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: they did, I don't remember. I think they were.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: We're they're kind of struggling in that game for a while. No,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't they didn't cover, right, What is your money line?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I mean money lining is a total, totally different story.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I thought to Akrom cover that number yesterday. I'm pretty
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: sure they did not, though maybe they did.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I watched the end of that game. I don't remember
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: what the final was. It was a really close game.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Like if they somehow covered that, it was real luck.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: It was like total luck. It was on intentional fouls.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: All right, we gotta get into this. We have eleven
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: AM action here. The IVY League tournament is beginning, which
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: will end tomorrow morning. As it's only a four team tournament.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The one versus four match up on ESPNU at eleven
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: AM is Cornell and Yale, and it is at Cornell's arena.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure in Ithaca, New York, which is dumb.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: As I've been pointing out now, these teams both haven't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: played since the end of the regular season, so they
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: both ended on a win streak, I believe. So, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of times that winning momentum will get like
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: disrupted at the end of the season there when you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: have a lot of time off. I think that applies
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to teams here.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Cornell, I mean, they're pretty much all offense and no defense,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and they did beat Yale here in this arena the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: last time they played. The first time they played, it
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was completely different. They got absolutely destroyed at Yale one two.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: To sixty eight.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Then the second time they played was actually more of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a Yale style of game because Cornell wants, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to score a ton that didn't happen, and they still
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: beat Yale by three. So I kind of think Yale
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: is going to get the job done here. I mean,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: they are the best team in this conference. I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: for them, it's actually probably a good thing that they
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: lost to Cornell because it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Broke up a win streak towards the end of the season.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, they would have been coming into this having, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a huge win streak potentially just snapped by having too
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: much time off here, That's not gonna be the case
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: for Yale. They know that the last time they came
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in here, they didn't do well. They wout up losing
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the game. In fact, Cornell led almost the entire game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Cornell hit a lot of threes in that game. They
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: were plus twenty one from three point range in the game,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and that's kind of the reason why they won the game. Dude,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: if your minus twenty one to three pointers at like
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: minus twenty one from three point range, minus twenty one points,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and you still only lose the game by three, that's uh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you know, that's not a bad thing for Yale here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Like you know, Cornell, you have that much of a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: free throw disparity, you should blow.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Your opponent out.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And that's not what happened there. So I actually do
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: think Yale is gonna win this game. I'm gonna lean
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to Yale here. They're up to a four point favorite.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: It looks like the money is disagreeing with me on
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: that one though. Eighty three percent of the tickets, eighty
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: one percent of the cash on them, and I'm gonna
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: be pissed if they lose because it's gonna weaken the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: tournament field big time. Like you know, Yale gets completely
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: screwed with the fact, like, why would the conference tournament
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: set up be like this? Why would you let your
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: four seed host the fucking tournament? I mean it just
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: pisses me off. It makes no sense. I fucking hate it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. They were ahead by more than that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I recommend against alternate spreads, like I say, I don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: want to pay them money for the books always charge
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you too much for it, like unless you could seriously find,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: like I don't know, a move, like how much should
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you even pay for seven and a half versus seven?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: This isn't football, this is basketball, Like I know this
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is a you know, it's a key ish number in basketball.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I would recommend against it. Oh well, thank you, Kyle. Yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I don't work, so you know, I got to figure
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: out how to make money. Maybe it's through doing this,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's not. I'm already limited at bally because they
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: didn't like that I was taking a ton of money
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: from them because like all my winning bets over the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: past week were pretty much there because they had the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: best numbers.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And then Pennsylvania and Harvard are in the two three
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: match up here. Harvard is up to two and a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: half way favorite they're getting the money sixty five send
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a ticket, seventy eight percent of the cash On Harvard,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna agree with Harvard as well. Penn kind of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: snuck their way into this top four here. I don't
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: think they're that good obviously. The oddsmakers are telling you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Harvard is actually the better team here. Harvard is the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: two seed, Penn is the three. I actually think Penn
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: is not even as good as Cornell. Penn actually just
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: beat Harvard at home as well. So when these two
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: teams played each other, the home team won each matchup.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Both games were really close.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Penn won at home by three and Harvard won at
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: home by one. So Harvard has never covered this number
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: against Penn. But I actually think they will do it here.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Both teams I believe ended the season on a Actually
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Harvard did not end the season on a win stream
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Penn did. Harvard only won their final game against Columbia
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and their last loss was against Penn. So I think
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna remember that and they're probably gonna
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: make some adjustments there, come out with a little bit
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: more intensity, or you know, fix whatever went wrong in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that game. I think Harvard does win that game I
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: would lean towards them covering that. Not really a strong
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: opinion though, And again I'm gonna be pissed off Yale
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: ends up not winning that tournament and you have some
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: weak ass IVY League team getting into the tournament, like
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it's going to downgrade the tournament even further. Because Yale
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: is legitimately a top one hundred team at ken Bum.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They'd probably be about a twelve seed.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Every other team that's in this thing would probably be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: like a fourteen seed. So it's bullshit. I would not
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: recommend that either. Yeah, no, way, Howard. Yeah they had
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a close call. Yeah, I told you, how dude, I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: told you Howard was not going to cover that big
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: number even though they're dominant team in that conference.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, No. I would not be on the Yale
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: money line in this game. I don't.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would be on the Yale money
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: line at all. I wouldn't do it. Yeah no, I mean,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, I don't agree with any of that
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with alternate spreads.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with parlang All right, Oh, we have
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: eleven AM the American East Finals, So whoever wins this
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: game is going to get into the tournament, probably as
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a sixteen seed, because this conference is total ass Vermont
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and UNBC. It is at UNBC because they are the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: one seed. They are actually better than Vermont this year.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Vermont wins this conference more often than any other team.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Vermont.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Well, both teams are on a win streak because they
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: played other games in this conference tournament already. But the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: way this conference tournament works is they have like almost
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a week long break between the semi finals and the finals.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I think, so both teams have been off for a while,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that's gonna hurt one team or
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: help one team more than the other because they're both
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: on long win streaks, so that's not really gonna matter
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: one way or the other. These teams both won the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: home game during the regular season. Vermont won at home
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: by nine. UNBC won the more recent game in this
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: arena that they're playing in today by thirteen. Not really
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: surprising results there. You know, this is a game, I mean,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: how do you even handicap this? Like it's got to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: be pretty much a straightforward just numbers play in this one.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It's up to three and a half on UNBC here
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: seventy one percent of tickets, eighty nine percent of the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: cash on UNBC. I'm not going to disagree with U
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: NBC here. I think they are the better team. They're
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: at home. I think they will get the job done
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and cover this thing. But that's not a strong opinion
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: for me really, And I will also point out that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: especially when you have a situation like this with these
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: teams having a lot of time off, but in any
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: conference tournament final, I have I kind of have a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: tendency to want to look towards the unders, especially in
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the small conferences because but especially if you have teams
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that are just teams that aren't that good offensively and whatever.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: You know, it's essentially you get more defensive intensity teams
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: not taking as many offensive risks. Unders kind of makes
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: sense in games like this, even though the money looks
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: like it's not coming in on the under in this one,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: but I think it does make sense in a game
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: like this. It's it's a final. You're expected to get intense, deepense.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: When teams have time off, that helps the deepfense because
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the rest helps the depense, and it you know, can.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe have the offenses coming in a little bit cold.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I also would not disagree with the first half under
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in that game. Yeah, that's that is an unsustainable ROI
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: doing what you're doing.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that right now.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Also, you know, if you do this, you know, like
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: long term, if you do this, like you're you're shooting
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: for like four percent ROI long term, like you're winning
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: better if you have four ten is completely unsustainable, especially
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: when you're I mean, good for you, but it's totally unsustainable,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: especially when you're doing what you're doing. CBS at one
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: pm was con and Michigan. This is the Big ten
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: semi finals is where we're at in this one. Wisconsin
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: just pulled off an upset of Illinois yesterday. That was
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a crazy game, intense game. I think it went into
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: overtime as well. I'm gonna have to lean against Wisconsin here, though. Man,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: they had the much more difficult game yesterday, And I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: mean Michigan was tested. But Michigan is coming off basically
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a scare as a favorite, you know, against Ohio State. Now,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Ohio State is better than people think they are. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna be a threat in the tournament. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Michigan is coming off what you would consider it to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: be a scare as a big favorite, so I like
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: looking towards the favorite in the next game after they
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have a scare like that. And Michigan is not going
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to take Wisconsin lightly because Wisconsin went into their building
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and beat them the one time they played this year.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: That was one of Michigan's two losses on the season.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: They're only lost besides the one to Duke was to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin in ann Arbor, Michigan, So you know they're gonna
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: remember that and they're probably gonna make adjustments and come
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: out and fix some things here. So yeah, I would
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: only lean towards Michigan in this game. The money's not
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: agreeing with me. With seventy seven percent of tickets eighty
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: four percent of the cash on Wisconsin, I don't agree.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I would lean Michigan. They're laying twelve down for twelve
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and a half here.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Now. The only kind of issue here is you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Have to kind of gauge does Michigan care about actually
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: finishing this tournament? Do they care about actually running through
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the tournament and you know, potentially being a little bit
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: more tied going into the main event. I'm gonna say
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that they do, because Michigan they got Dusty May as
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: their coach, and all we have to really go off
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of is what did he do with Michigan last year. Well,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: they won this conference tournament last year, and I believe
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it was against Wisconsin, So I guess Wisconsin does have
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit of revenge in mine too, because this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: is the remap.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you can correct me if I'm wrong.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I think this is the rematch of the Big Ten
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: final from last year. I believe Michigan beat Wisconsin. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: don't know how much that really matters. I think the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: more recent revenge probably is more of a factor because
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Michigan has so few losses this year. But all we've
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: seen from Michigan under May is that he wants to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: win these games, so I actually think they will want
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to So that is the way that I would lean there. Yes, correct,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I agree this is one of the types of revenge.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Revenge is overrated, but I think this is one of
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the types of revenge that might matter. And as I'm
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: talking to the line is back up to twelve and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: a half on Michigan, so that's what we.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Got going on there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Then in the other Big Ten semi final, these games
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: are both on CBS. I'm pretty sure later afternoon we
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: have Purdue and UCLA here.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The public looks like they're still fading. Perdue.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Man, the public does not like Purdue. And you know
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you saw my conference pre you when I talked about
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten. I told you Purdue was the best
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the best value play in this tournament, which I still
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: think is the case, because they were a fucking seven
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorite to make the final tomorrow,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: and then once they get into the final, I think
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like anything goes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I was right about that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you wanted to start, I wouldn't
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: hedge if you have Purdue in a future or something, I.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't hedge today. I would hedge in.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: The final because I don't think Purdue is gonna lose here, Perdue.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You know I told you they would beat in Nebraska.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I did not give out a play on that, although
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I was close to doing it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That was close to being on my card.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Easy win for Purdue yesterday against Nebraska. I told you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Purdue was severely underseedd. I think they're severely overrated, or
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: excuse me, severely underrated. Excuse me under ranked ken bomb
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: as them is the top ten team. Now their defense
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: is a concern, but U see LA's defense is actually
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: ranked worse than Purdue's is and ken bom and Purdue
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: has a really efficient offense. Ucla, of course, we did
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: have a win with UCLA yesterday, So my gauge on.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: The Big Ten has been pretty good. Man.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I liked Ohio State recovery yesterday. I liked Wisconsin recovery yesterday.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I was right on the spread in like all of
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: these Big Ten games yesterday. So we'll see if my
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: gauge on the Big Ten continues. But I would lay
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the points with Purdue in this one.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Ucla.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That was a big upset for them against Michigan State.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The fact still remains they don't play that well outside
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: of the Pacific times on, and now we're getting into
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a situation where you know, both these teams are used
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to this arena. At this point, Perdue is playing one
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: extra game, though, Remember but they had an easy, easy
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: game against Northwestern in their first game in the tournament,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: so I don't think that really matters. They're playing one
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: additional game over Ucla. Ucla, again, they had to pull
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: off a big upset yesterday, tough game.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It was later than Purdue's game, I believe.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, Purdue, dude, they completely took their foot off the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: gas against Northwestern too. They were set to cover that game,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: and then they didn't score in the final four minutes
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: of the game because I think they had already pretty
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: much exited the building and started looking on ahead to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the next game.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would lay it here. We have sixty nine.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Percent of ticket, sixty two percent of the cash on Ucla,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: so they look like the public side. Again, the public
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to lay points with Purdue, but they're favored
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: by this much for a reason. And this is also
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: revenge if you want to consider that to be a
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: factor here. Because these teams played one time this year.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Ucla beat Purdue at UCLA, and back then that was
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: UCLA was not the public side in that game, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that was a surprise upset back then. But now the
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: public is, oh, let's play Ucla now.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think Purdue wins. I would
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: lean towards the recovering as well.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, The SEC starts at one pm on Vandy and Florida.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: This is the semifinal semifinal number one in the SEC.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Vandy got another win over Tennessee yesterday, and I thought
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Tennessee was gonna zigzag that thing and win that game.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Tennessee good defensive team, man, and Tennessee had already played
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: in this tournament and Vandy hadn't. Vandy got the job done, man.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, this Vandy team, I do kind of think
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: that there are a lot of people, you know, like
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: it feels like nobody like believes that this Vandy team
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is actually as good as they probably are.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: So I will say that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how much to you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: buy into them in settings like this, where you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: they don't really have that much experience in situations like
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: this and whatever. But they got the win yesterday in
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: this environment. It was their first time playing in this arena. Now,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: they do have an advantage because they're playing in Nashville,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: so they're playing in.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Their home city here. I believe they're playing in.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: The Predators Arena though, so, which is why all this
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: stuff is navy blue and yellow here. So they converted
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: into a basketball arena for this. So they're not playing
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: on campus, but they are playing in their home city here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: So Vandy does have a little bit of an advantage there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Florida won yesterday as well against Kentucky. Again, Florida pretty
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: much led that entire game. I'm pretty sure it wound
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: up being an eight point win. I think Florida did
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: have a bigger lead than that for a decent chunk
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of the game. Now, Florida they played Vandy once this year,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: so we only have one data point to look at.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It was at Vandy, and Florida only won the game
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: by four, and that was a spot where I think
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Vandy was actually I think in a difficult spot there, Yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: because Vandy had lost their undefeated season the game before that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I believe, Yeah, Vandy was undefeated. People might forget that
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: until they lost to Texas. So you know, I'd still
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: put Texas in the tournament.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, Vandy.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: That was their first loss of the season to Texas,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And you know, I talk about how teams can have
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a hangover effect after they lose their first time in
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the season, you know, the first loss of the season
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: after you're undefeated for a huge chunk of the season.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: They still actually played really well though they got up
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: for the game against Florida only lost by four. So
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the only data point that we have did have Vandy
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: playing very competitively against Florida. Here, Florida is an eight
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorite, eighty percent of tickets, seventy
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: eight percent of the cash on them. Florida under Todd Golden.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I believe Florida won the SEC last year, so Golden
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: seems like he does want to win these things as well.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: But I would probably only.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Towards taking the points of Vandy here man, Florida, I mean, yeah,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: their fan base is going to travel whatever.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, man.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I again, I just think, yeah, probably there's just no
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: value in laying this amount with Florida.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Here Man.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: We know Florida is great. They're legit one of the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: top four teams in the country. But yeah, I don't
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: know this spot like this, I think I would lean
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: towards Vandy plus the points, even though Vandy is coming
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: off another big revenge win over their primary rival, so
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that is one thing to be concerned about.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna touch that game though. And then the.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Second SEC semi final is ole Miss, the Cinderella of
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: basically the Cinderella of all the conference tournaments.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: They're like the only one.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss continued their run yesterday with a third straight win,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: upsetting Alabama. Crazy upset there, but yeah, I mean I
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: do kind of think they run out of steam here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is a nice story, but they're gonna
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: have to play. They're gonna be basically playing four straight
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: really fast tempo teams. I mean that really could take
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: its toll and having no break in doing so.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Actually, excuse me, Texas.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Is a slow team, my mistake, even though they're an
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: offensive team. So three fast based teams after that in Georgia, Alabama,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and now Arkansas. Now Ole Miss. They do match up
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: well against these fast paced teams. So I will say
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: that they were able to beat two of them by
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: kind of slowing the game down.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. What Ole Miss does is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: they're gonna slow it down.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: They're gonna limit these fast paced teams possessions and try
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: to stay in the game. So that is what Ole
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Miss is gonna do. They're gonna try to do it
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: again here. I don't know how successful they're gonna be
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: this time. They played Arkansas once, they actually played them. Okay,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: they only lost by seven at home though to Arkansas.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: But Ole Miss, I mean they have played some close
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: games throughout the year against some of these faster paced teams.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Arkansas played later at night last night and they beat Oklahoma.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: They did have a little bit of a scare. Arkansas
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: hadn't played yet in the tournament. I thought Oklahoma was
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: gonna win that game, man, the way that that game
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: was going.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So Arkansas did face a bit of a scare.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Ole miss coming off another upset, and the biggest upset
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they pulled so far are Arkansas as a nine, a half
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: way favor. The money is fading Arkansas here though, seventy
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: percent of the tickets and only fifty five percent of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the cash. There is a pretty big cash disparity as
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: we see it right now. I probably agree that I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: would lean towards laying it with Arkansas, but this is
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the market, read is saying otherwise here, man, and in
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a pretty significant way.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So the market's all over the place.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Though the market is now agreeing with Wisconsin and UCLA.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just going off of, you know, the way that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I handicap right now, the situation. You know, very very
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: slight opinion for me on' laying it with Arkansas, But
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I don't love it all right.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We do have the speaking of Howard.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: They're in the MIAC final, so whoever wins this game
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: will make the tournament, likely as a sixteen seed, possibly
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: a play in.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Sixteen seed.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: This is NC Central and Howard games being played in
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: or of Virginia, which I don't think has you know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think that is really beneficial to either team necessarily.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Where is I forget where Howard is.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Howard's in d C, I think, and NC Central is
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: in the middle of North Carolina somewhere.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh So, yeah, I don't know.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe this venue is a little bit closer to Howard then,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: but I don't know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Howard.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, they won by seventeen yesterday in the semi
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: final against a bad SC state team, but that game
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: was really close for comfort. I think Howard pulled away
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: late in this game, so I think maybe they did
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: get a little bit of a scare. I mean, Howard,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: As I told you, these teams that kind of come
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: into this game, these teams that come into these games cold.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of times, they because Howard was the only
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: team that had to buy in this conference tournament, a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: lot of times they just don't do well early on
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: in the game, although they were actually winning by quite
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: a bit early too. They let the league almost completely
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: slip away. And then I was watching some of this
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: game and it was fairly close there. It was like
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: a five point game with several minutes to go, but
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Howard pulled away again. Now, Howard is definitely a dominant
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: team in this conference. The last time they played n
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: C Central they won one hundred to sixty seven at Howard.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: They beat n C Central on the road earlier this
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: year too, eighty three to sixty nine, so they did
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: win by margin in both games.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Obviously, I don't think Howard is gonna lose this game.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: N C Central yesterday only won by I think about
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: five in their semi final matchup, which was against.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Who is it against again?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I forget Delaware stage was not a good team, so
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: that was not a very good result there. Neither of
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: those opponents are good at all. I mean, this whole
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: conference is battle though. Howard again is about one hundred
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: rankings spots higher in Kent Pump than every other team
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: in the conference, which is why they're gonna.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Be a double digit favorite here.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Double digits is kind of a lot to lay in
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: a in a championship game. Though, man, especially with a
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: low total in the one forties. Howard's the thirteen point favorite,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: up from eleven, sixty three percent of the tickets eighty
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: percent of the cash on them, the money is coming
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: in that way, I would probably lean towards the underdog
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: plus the points, but I don't obviously, I don't think
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Howard is gonna lose this game. But they embarrassed n
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: C Central in a ridiculous way the last time they
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: played them, so you know, I don't think it's gonna
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: be that much of a blowout this time in a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: championship game. You know, both teams are gonna give a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: huge effort here.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Go all out, you know.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: So obviously, it would have shocked me if Howard won
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: this game by more than twenty points. Either though, because
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: they are that much better than all the other teams
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: in that conference. I have been saying, like pretty much
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: all year that I that I pretty much thought NC
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Central was the second.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Best team of that conference.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Though Morgan State kind of a fraud in that conference,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: So I don't know do with that information want to.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I guess CBS Sports has the Atlantic Ten semifinals because
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: their final will be tomorrow. They're down to I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: the top three teams are still alive in this conference,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and that does not include Saint Joe's. You know how
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I feel about that team, even though they are three seed.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I think Dayton, Saint Louis, and VCU are the top three.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis gets a difficult draw on their side of
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the bracket.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Man. Like I told you before, I thought VCU was
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the way to look in the futures.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Market in this tournament because they had an easier set
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: up here. And sure enough, they're a bigger favorite today
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: than Saint louis Is and some of that is because
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: of the opponent.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Dayton is a good team, man.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Uh, Dayton beat Saint Bonaventure yesterday, didn't look that good
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: at doing so. They only beat them by five, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I believe Dayton had not played yet in the tournament.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: But the same thing could be can be said for
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis. Right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So, Saint Louis, they're a team that does rely more
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: on offense offensive time, and they came into this they
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: were obviously really cold coming into this game and they
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: were way behind. They were actually losing by twenty one
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: to George Washington and Saint Louis still overcame that won
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the game, and Saint Louis was actually up nine late
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: in the game. They blew that entire lead and then
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: they had they won on like some intentional free throws
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: at the end. There after they had taken the lead
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: again at the end, so they had a close call. Man,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: So I think Saint Louis. I don't think the spot
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: sets up that bad for Saint Louis here. And another
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: good thing for Saint Louis is they lost the last
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: time they played Dayton. They lost at Dayton by fifteen points,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: so I think Saint Louis will be able to.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Make some adjustments from that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: So in that way, it's not that bad of a draw,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: even though it is bad that they have to play
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the conference here. But
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the good thing is they're gonna know what they did
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: wrong in that previous game.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: The first time they played Dayton, they beat them by.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Thirty one at Saint Louis, So obviously those two results
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: are vastly different.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: From each other.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it stands to reason the result today is
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: gonna be somewhere in between those two results.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I think Saint Louis will win. The one thing. The
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: one other thing about Saint Louis.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I think part of the reason they were struggling down
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the stretch is that Robbie Avila. Avila was dealing with
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Planter for shitus like, he still kind of looks like
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: he's hobbling around.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Although he had twenty two points in the game yesterday,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: he looked alright, but you know, he does have some
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: foot issue. So that is a little bit of a
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: concern for Saint Louis. But the fact that they had
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: an escape yesterday. Both teams kind of did, but Saint
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Louis had the earlier game. I think it was more
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: of an escape for them. Maybe I don't know, because
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Dayton was playing the thirteen seed, so I don't know.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: But I also think that Saint Louis, because the most
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: recent game against Dayton was a horrible game for them,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I think they actually turn it on in this one
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: and played better this time. The money's coming in a Dayton,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: but I don't really agree with it. U Saint Louis
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: sixty one percent of tickets on them, fifty one percent
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: of the cash coming in a date in Saint Louis,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: five and a half point favorite. I guess the one
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: other question would be is Saint Louis going to be
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: safely in the tournament field?
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Like? How much does Saint Louis need to win this game?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Is the other question? Right?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Like VCU is considered to be on the bubble right
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: now in a lot of bracketologies, including mine, have them
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: in right now in the.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Last four in because the bubble has been so bad.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: So I do think that even if Saint Louis loses
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: this game, at this point, I do think they're going
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: to be in the tournament anyway. I mean, they were
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: so good throughout most of the season and ranked for
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: a while. I mean you could say the same thing
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: about Miami Ohio, but Saint Louis played a much more
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: difficult schedule than they did, so, you know, it would
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: be a shame to leave Saint Louis out. I think
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: they will still get in anyway, So that is probably
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: one concern, I guess if you're looking to lay the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: points with Saint Lewis. But you know, both these teams
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: kind of in a similar situation and they both had
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: to get their legs under them. Yesterday, she squealed, what's up?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out. Then the other game in the semifinals,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: like I said, is Saint Joe's and VCU VSAU is
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: a six point favorite. Here the money coming in at
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Saint Joe's, but I don't see it. I don't agree
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: with it. Fifty eight percent of tickets, eighty six percent
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: of the cash coming in at Saint Joe's. Again, I
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: think they're the one of these four teams that doesn't belong.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: One of these things is not like the other. Saint Joe's.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They're a good defense, I'll give them that, but I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: still think they're an overrated team.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: They won that game against Davidson yesterday mostly because of
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a massive free throw disparity. I'm not buying it. It
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: looks good that they won by twelve against the decent
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Davidson team.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here it is.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: They had twenty six free throw attempts hit eighty five
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: percent of them.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Davidson was four for eight.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Like, what the fuck are you to do when there's
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: a twenty six to eight free throw attempt disparity? And
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: then of course Davidson wasn't hitting any of their threes either.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just yeah, I'm pissed. So Saint Joe's I would
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: say they look better than they actually were in that game.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: They played at VCU once this year. I think they
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: lost by seven at VCU, which is, you know, it's
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: not a bad result for Saint Joe's. I'll give them that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: That's not bad losing to VCU on the road by seven.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: But VCU is the better team here, man, They're not
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: even that much worse than Saint Louis. VCU really did
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: have a scare yesterday, and you know, for both of
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: these teams, it was their first time playing in the
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: conference tournament.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yesterday.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: VCU had a close call against Ducaine.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Remember this whole tournament is in Pittsburgh, so Ducaine was
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: playing in their home city. Maybe, you know, gave them
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an edge there. The fact that
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Ducaine had already played in the tournament also, I think
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: gave them an edge. I think that's gonna make VCU
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: look a little bit worse than actually are. I would
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: probably lay it with VCU. So I'm not agreeing with
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: the with the money in that game either. So that
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: one I think I feel more strongly about than than
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis, especially because VCU is like firmly on the
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: bubble right now, man, So they're probably gonna have like
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: absolute motivation here. I mean, all these teams will, except
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: maybe for Saint Louis because Saint Louis might be in
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: the tournament anyway, but we will sing.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I also did forget.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: To mention specifically that the Big ten games are in Chicago.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I usually shout out the location of these
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: all right, next up, but it's going to be my play,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: which is getting into the evening games here. Conference USA
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: or excuse thee American dude, I get those confused all
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the time. American USA. It's all the same thing. No,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the American Conference, Tulsa in Wichita State. I'm gonna give
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: you a play in this one best bet, and knowing
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: how I handicap, you're probably already gonna know what it is.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be on Tulsa on the money line at
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: minus one ten, and I know Wichita is the better deepense,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and I know I usually like to look towards the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: better deepfense.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: These games are in Birmingham.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: By the way, so that doesn't really help any of
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the team's remaining I think to any insane degree.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Because UAB is out.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Tulsa they played already in the tournament, so again, that's
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the one like real advantage they have is they've only
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: played one game in the tournament. But that's big, right,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: because you get your legs under you, you get the
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: nerves out of the way. Tulsa played yesterday and they
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: had a close call against North Texas.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: North Texas, they're an extreme slow team, but now Tulsa
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: is used to it because Wichita is another slow team.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: So Tulsa just played one. Now they're gonna face a
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: similar style of team, even though I think Wichita is
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: better than North Texas, but I think that's good that
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Tulsa played a similar style team yesterday. That's what they're
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: gonna be facing again. They already are used to the arena.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: They already got the nerves out of the way. Whereas
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Wichita as the two seed. They have not played yet,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: so Wichita literally.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Has been off for a week.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: So I think that's a problem, you know, like that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: can really stall out your momentum. Wichita finished the season
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: with six wins in a row. I think that's kind
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: of a problem. You know, it'll potentially disrupt their momentum.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And they started that win streak with a win over
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Tulsa in Wichita.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So but if you look at this game.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Tulsa actually led for eighty four percent of the game,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: so the result here was a little bit misleading. Wichita
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: went to the line a lot in the game, although
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: they actually missed most of their free throws. They did
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: actually out rebound Tulsa, although if you look at the
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: other game they played this year at Tulsa, Tulsa out
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: rebounded them, so not you know, not really a ton
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: to see here. Now, Tulsa does take way more threes
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: than Wichita does, so there is more variance with Tulsa.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: That's kind of expected.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Tulsa did out three Wichita by ton here, so that's
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: not a good sign. That Tulsa did have eight more
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: three pointers in the game made and lost the game.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I agree that's not a good sign.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: But again they're winning eighty four percent of the game,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: so still they probably should.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Have won that game.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: And then the other game that they played against each other,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Tulsa won, So that was a four point win for
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Wichita on that one. The game at Tulsa earlier this
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: year was a ten point Tulsa win. Tulsa was leading
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: seventy six percent of that game, so Tulsa has led
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: most of the way in both games.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: The free throw dis verity did actually go towards.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Wichita in that game as well, so you know, take
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: from that what you want to. I guess Wichita is
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: just a bet. They're a better paint presence team. And
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I know, usually I like the paint presence team, but
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: as far as this situation, I don't. Even though, yes,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Wichita better paint presence, better defense, I get all of that. Tulsa,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you know, they did shoot well in this game. They
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: shot too well, probably sixty percent, So that is somebody
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: to keep in mind that Tulsa did shoot really well
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: in that game. But they did also win the rebounding battle. Uh,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: so they were, you know, better in the paint and
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: some aspects in that game. Tulsa does have some size, man,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: but I think Tulsa is the better overall team. According
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: to Kenpom, he's got Tulsa fifty fifth in the country
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and he's got Wichita probably twenty or thirty rings spots lower.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I think right where where does he have Wichita? Yeah,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: he has them eighty eighth. Although Wichita is the less
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: lucky team and the better defense and they play slow,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: so you know, that's something to consider, But I like
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: how it sets up for Tulsa. Man, Tulsa is the
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: way better offense, and that's what we're going with here.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: But I you know, again, I like the spot and
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I think having a game under your belt does help
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: with your like offensive timing and stuff like that. So
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: we're going with with Tulsa in that game. I mean,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it just seems appropriate that the the the final should
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: be Tulsa against South Florida. Man, hopefully one of those
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: teams makes the tournament, Man, so that we have, you know,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: a stronger tournament. I would rather see South Florida, So
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess it won't be too sad of
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: whichiton wins this game. Assuming South Florida does what they're
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: supposed to do and wins against Charlotte South Florida.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: You know, they are.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: The best team in this conference, slightly ahead of Tulsa
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and and Ken bumbit. South Florida is a more balanced team,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and they're they're an interesting tournament team because they play
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: like that you know, shock a smart like havoc style
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: basically where they try to turn you over, score and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: transition and just go real fast and throw the game
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: like way out of whack.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Man.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: But South Florida, if they get in, they'll they'll be
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: a very interesting team in the tournament. Tulsa would probably
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: be less interesting, to be honest, but so really good
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: at scoring for sure. All right, And I actually accidentally
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: skipped the other game, so my mistake. Yeah, somehow I
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: skipped over Charlotte and South Florida, which is actually the
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: earlier game here. South Florida is a fifteen point favorite
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: in that one. Money coming in on Charlotte, seventy percent
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: of tickets, seventy five percent of the couch on Charlotte.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't really disagree with Charlotte plus the
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: points here. I think South Florida will win. They should
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: get the job done. Charlotte, I don't think is very good.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I think they're kind of a false three seed or
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: four or excuse four seed, five seed, whatever the hell
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: they are in this tournament. I think Charlotte has actually
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: already played twice in this tournament. I believe they beat
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Tulane and then they beat UAB in Birmingham yesterday. But
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna run out for Charlotte by the
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: end of this game, and I think South Florida will
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: be able to pull away and win this game. But
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I would probably still need to Charlotte plus the points
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: a first half play might make in a game like this,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: because the advantage that Charlotte has is they've already played
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: in this tournament, right so they're used to the floor
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and then if they're gonna get tired, it's
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: gonna happen late in the game. Right now, Charlotte will
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: be motivated because their last well because it's a tournament,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: but also their last loss was at South Florida. They
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: lost by twenty three points, which I think was the
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: only time he seems played this year. But South Florida,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not really that misleading of a result,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think, because they are definitely the better team
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: here by a significant stretch.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, i'd probably, yeah.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Just very slightly into taking the points in that one.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: But the money's agreeing with me. On Tulsa, by the way,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: if I forgot to mention that Wichita did flip to
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: one point favorite there, but fifty percent of tickets ninety
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: percent of the cash on Tulsa just to mention that
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: one more time, and then you know, I'm I'm I'm
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: being too chaotic here, But yeah, Charlotte has seventy two
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: percent of tickets and seventy five percent of the cash
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: on them.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: But they kind of.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Are almost looking like almost a public underdog there, which
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I would not like to see. You know, if you
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: lean to Charlotte, you don't want to see that. All right,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve on ESPN. The Big Twelve Final is this one,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: so you know, I mean, both these teams are gonna
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: be a high seed in the tournament, so I don't
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: really know how much of this game matters, but both
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: teams look like they're trying to win this thing.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Minutes. Houston and Arizona, I think these are.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Probably you could you could definitely make the argument these
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: are the best two teams in this conference. Iowa State
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: is in the conversation. Houston had a much easier game yesterday,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: and by the way they were, they got rid of
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the glass floor yesterday in the Big Twelve, so they're
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: back to their old hardwood floor matc. You don't have
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: to worry about the glass anymore. You don't have to
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: worry about Houston slipping all over the floor. They they
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: looked pretty good yesterday.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: They beat Kansas pretty badly, especially on the deepfensive end.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: They held Kansas to the lowest point total that Kansas
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: has ever scored in the Big Twelve tournament forty seven points.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous. Houston elite defense man from Houston.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Just their offense has some question marks, but they had
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: the much easier game yesterday. So I actually think Houston
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: sets up nicer in this game than Arizona does. Houston
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: also lost at home to Arizona as a favorite. Remember
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the last time these two teams played, the only time
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: they played this year. I think so Houston might have
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: adjustments to make, maybe a little bit of revenge in
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: mind here, and Arizona had a much more difficult game.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Iowa State probably should have won that game, and I
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: thought they were going to.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: And you remember when I broke down this conference.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I told you the value in the futures market was
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: on Iowa State and Houston, which I think turned out
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: to basically be accurate. Iowa State probably should have won yesterday.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Like I said, they were winning the majority of that game.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Arizona wound up winning the game with a show with
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I think it was either at the buzzer with like
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: a couple of seconds left, you know, it was. It
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: was a crazy game. It was a close game at
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: the end of it. So Arizona really got tested yesterday
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: and I think they had the I think they had
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the later game yesterday too, So Houston I think as
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: a rest edge kind of.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And Houston had a much.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Easier game yesterday that was over like well before the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: game and it was Arizona's went right to the wire.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: So I actually like Houston in this game. Arizona down
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: from three and a half to two and a half,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: so some of the values already gone. It looks like
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: some of the early money did come in on Houston.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: The money also coming in on the under, which does
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: make sense because I mean, Arizona their team that doesn't
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: take any threes. Uh, Houston plays really slow. Both teams
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: are upper rational on depenses. You know, the under does
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: make sense in this game. Sixty nine percent of tickets,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: not as seventy two percent of the cash on Arizona.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Arizona down to two and a half here though, So
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I I think Arizona is going to be.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: A public side here.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Houston in that one, mister Pinzy, Yeah,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: you're yeah, you're correct.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Charlotte two games in a row, by the way, they
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: did that. Uh yeah, one of their guys.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Yet their point guard eight for eleven from three point range,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: fifteen in a row.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: It was in It was in the second half at
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: some point.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: It wasn't right at the end of the game, but
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: in the second half they they hit either fourteen or
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: fifteen field goals in a row, which is basically impossible.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen again.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Even though yeah, I mean South Florida has actually had
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: pretty decent deepfens. Actually I was thinking of Tulsa for
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: a minute, but yeah, South Florida, they're they're gonna be
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: a much more difficult deep vents to have to face. Uh.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Charlotte did that the prior game too. Uh Charlotte, dude,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: they had a point in the game yesterday. Charlotte was
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: shooting like eighty percent from the field in the second
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: half yesterday at one point, and then the game before
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: that they had they shot like seventy percent from the
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: field in the second half or something like that. That's
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: completely unsustainable. That's not gonna happen.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Charlotte, They're definitely they're pretty fake. We will
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: we will say that. I mean, those are just massive
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: outliers that are going to regress. So actually that that's
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: that is one thing in favor of South Florida there, man,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: So you're right. So yeah, I I mean I lean
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: to Charlotte very very slightly in that one. But I'm
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: not gonna do anything with it. I'm not gonna touch
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: that game. But you're right that that is a reason
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: to phase Charlotte in that game.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: So that is a good point. All right. What else
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: do we have to talk about here?
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: We have the Mountain West Final, which is San Diego
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: State and Utah State. Now, Utah State has some advantages here.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: This is in the Thomas and Mac in Las Vegas.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Of course, Utah State had the easier win yesterday and
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: they played earlier. They've beaten Nevada yesterday, so they do
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: have a rest advantage here. They got to pack it
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: in a little bit early, whereas San Diego State was
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: playing up until almost three my time, and I watched it.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I stayed up to see. I was like, I gotta
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: see who's gonna win this game? Man? It was a
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: close game.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: San Diego State won with a shot with about two
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: seconds left in the game to beat New Mexico, probably
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: ending New Mexico's tournament hosts man.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: New Mexico I think is gonna be out.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I think they're probably gonna be headed to one of
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: the other tournaments that goes on, So I think they
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: will be in one of those postseason tournaments, not the
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Big Dance though.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: San Diego State, now they had a much more difficult
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: game yesterday.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: They played later, so all of that is a disadvantage
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: to them. It's also I think gonna be a disadvantage
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: with the fact that they beat Utah State by seventeen
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: in the most recent matchup at San Diego State, so
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Utah State will have the adjustments to make here. San
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Diego State did lose at Utah State by five in
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the other game. Now, they did play pretty well against
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Utah State both times though, And the other thing is motivation.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Utah State is going to be in the tournament. There's
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: there's no way they're going to be left out of
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: the tournament at this point. I mean, they made the
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Mountain West Final. They're not going to get left out.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: They're at worst gonna be like twenty six at seven
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: on the season. San Diego State probably needs to win
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: this to actually get in. Man, they're a bubble team
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: right now. They are not safe whatsoever. So I think
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: the motivation is actually on San Diego State in a
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: very major way here, and the line looks really really
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: easy to play Utah State here at one and a half.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: And I know when I broke down this conference, I
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: said this conference tournament was a gauntlet and that I
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: thought Utah State was not going to win it because
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: they were at least an underdog against the field. So
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I thought at some point Utah State was going to
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: run out in because the motivation was going to be
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: more on some of.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: These other teams.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I thought Utah State was not going to get through it,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: even though their side of the bracket was probably a
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: little bit weaker than the other side because they got
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: to avoid San Diego State, New Mexico, Colorado State Boy
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: all the way.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Up to the final here.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I like San Diego State in this one, though, uh
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: sixty two percent of tickets on Utah State, seventy percent
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: of the casual in San Diego State. Again, this is
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: a game where motivationally san Diego State has way more
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: of it in my opinion. Utah State's already in San
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Diego State is not, and that is the difference there.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: So you know, when I first thought about this game,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: I consider putting San Diego State on my card, but
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: then I remembered, oh, yeah, well, you know it's gonna
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: be tough though, because they played so much later at
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: night last night and played a much tougher game. So
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: that would be my concern in that one with San
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Diego State, But I do lean that way, all right.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Then that's on CBS, by the way. Then Fox has
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: the Big East Final between Yukon and Saint John's. So
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Saint John's did get through what I thought was kind
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: of a more difficult side of the bracket. Uh, Saint
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: John's was able to get through. Who did They had
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Seaton Hall and I think I had Villanova on their set.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Did they have Villanova on their set of the bracket?
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: No, they didn't, because Saint John's is the one seed,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Yukon was the two, and Villanova was the three. Villanova
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: got taken out by Georgetown though, and then I believe
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Ukon took them out. Saint John's did have to deal
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: with Seaton Hall, though, which I thought was gonna be
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: more difficult than it wasn't.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: So both these teams won easily yesterday.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember which game was first, but I
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: think it was the Yukon one.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Though Yukon easily beat Georgetown yesterday, Saint John's pretty easily
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: beat Seaton Hall as well. So now we have the
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: final that people kind of expected because these two teams
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: are definitely significantly better than the rest of the conference.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: It's at Madison Square Garden. Now, Yukon does draw a
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: huge crowd at Madison Square Garden. Usually Saint John's plays
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: in Madison Square Garden for a lot of their home
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: games though, so it's a good venue for both teams. Here,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be an interesting one.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Yukon, you could potentially argue they have more motivation
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: in this game because they are playing basically against Florida
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: for a one seed in the tournament. So if they
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: really want that, they have motivation here. The problem is
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: the last time these two teams played each other, Yukon
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: gave Saint John's one of the most embarrassing losses that
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: you'll ever see beating them seventy two to forty at Yukon.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, inside, I want to kill myself.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: So Saint John's was able to redeem themselves after that,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: But the real redemption might come here.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: You gotta think Saint John's is going to adjust some
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: things after that. I mean, you lose to a team
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: that bad that you're gonna fix a bunch of things.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: So I think we will see a much better effort
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: from Saint John's this time. Of course, Saint John's actually
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: won the last time these two teams played in this arena.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Saint John's won by nine in the first matchup between
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: these two this season. That was also at Madison Square Guard.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: And it's an interesting matchup here, man. Both these teams
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: are in the tournament. Clearly, Saint John's doesn't really have
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: seeding to really play for here. I mean, I mean,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: even if they do, that's not really a motivator. But
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: the thing is, I think the motivator is again, how
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: badly they lost to Yukon the last time they played them.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: So I actually like Saint John's in this game. Connecticut's
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a three point favorite. Fifty four percent of the tickets
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: on them fifty one percent of the cash on Saint John's.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: I think we might see a zigzag here and people
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: are gonna look at that last result and think that
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: there's no way that Saint John's is gonna cover this
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: and probably ignore the first match.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Up between these two teams.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I think Saint John's, Yeah, I mean I would agree
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: with Saint John's in this one man plus Saint John's,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: you know, because this is kind of a rivalry at
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: this point. Saint John's does have the chance to play
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: spoiler to Connecticut here at least, you know, like they
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: have the chance to spoil the one seed chances for
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Yukon here, so you know, maybe that's a motivator as well.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll lean to Saint John's slightly in that one.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Yukon they're definitely a bit overrated.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Ken Bom has them as the ninth best team in
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they're you know, like a championship
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: contender this year, and I think the teams right at
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: the top are just too much better. Even though Yukon's good,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: they're not that good. They just lack too much on offense.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Their defense is definitely good. Saint John's has problems though,
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: I mean Saint John's is actually worse on both sides
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: of the ball slightly. They they are basically turning into
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: the team they were last year, where their offense has
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: a bunch of issues and their defense is pretty good.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: But they also play fast, which isn't really that good
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: for a tournament setting. But in this type of tournament,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I think it's fine because you're not playing that many
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: games in a row. So I think both these teams
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: are playing three games, which isn't really that many. Now
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: it is going to be styling contrasts because Connecticut does
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: play really slow.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Saint John's plays really fast. So that is somebody to
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: keep in mind. In that game.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: You know which tempo is gonna win out, and maybe
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: it'll be Saint John's because they're in their home arena,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: they might be able to speed enough, speed it up
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: enough to throw Yukon off. All right, Charles, what's up?
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out?
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: We have the the Swack Final here. I'm dude, this
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: is not good. This video is gonna take hopefully it's
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: not gonna take another hour here, man, because I gotta
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: run through the hockey real quick. There are fourteen fucking
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: hockey games today. Dude, I hate when hockey is so lopsided.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Like, give me like five.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Games on one day and ten on another day. I
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: don't give me like twelve and then fourteen, you fucking bitch. Anyway,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: the swack final here. Whoever wins this game is gonna
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: be likely in the playing games in Dayton for a
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: sixteen seed. Prairie View A and M is playing Southern here.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: This is the I don't even know what seed Prairie
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: View was five four. I have no idea Southern was
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: the two seed. I want to know they were the three.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: They beat the two yesterday. Now, Prairie View A and
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: M actually was the team that knocked out Bethune Cookman
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: the one seed, and then they turned around and they
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: beat Alabama A and M yesterday too. That's how they
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: got here. Now they lost the last time they played Southern.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: They lost at home by five. They won on the
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: road by four, so interestingly, the road team won each
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: game in this matchup. Southern didn't look as good yesterday
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: against Florida A and M, who was the two seed
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: in the conference. Although I don't think that Florida A
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: and M is actually better than Southern, but Southern if
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: you watch that game, and I watched the end of it,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Southern basically won on a.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Three pointer at the buzzer.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: It was a very close game at the end of
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: the game, so maybe that looks a little bit worse
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: for Southern and the fact that they barely got by
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Arkansas Pine bluffed the game before that, Southern has looked
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: less impressive in this tournament, but I still think they're
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: the better team here and I would probably lean towards
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: them getting the job done in the one. The money
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: looks like it's kind of coming in. On prairie View,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Southern is a three point favorite because they are the
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: better team here. This game is in Atlanta, Georgia, by
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: the way, which I.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Don't think helps either team. Really.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Southern is in Louisiana. I think in prairie View is
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the Prairie State. I don't know where the
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: fuck prairie View a m is, Dude, I don't think
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: either of these teams are located that close to Atlanta.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent of tickets eighty three percent of the
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: cash on prairie View.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: I kind of lean towards Southern.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: In that one, though, I mean, like, who's gonna lay
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: three points with a team that only won by three
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: each of the last two games, right, But I do
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: think Southern is the slightly better team. Then we do
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: have the MAC Final at night on ESPN two between
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Toledo and Akron. Everybody thought it was gonna be Miami
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Ohio and Akron and it is not.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: But neither of these teams.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: You know, both these teams have to win to get
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: into the tournament, including Akron. Akron's not gonna get it
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: in at large, man, they got.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: To win this game. So Toledo.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: They beat UMass yesterday, I mean, kind of an easier
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: win yesterday.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Akron was better than they looked.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: As I think mister Penzy was pointing out, Akron wind
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: up wound up having to pull away again at the
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: end after the game got really close against against Kent
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: State yesterday, but they were winning that game by a
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: lot more than that. Now, Akron hasn't looked that impressive
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: in the tournament, but Kent State is pretty good, man.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, Kent State is the third best team in
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: this conference behind Miami and uh well behind Akron. Who's
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: number one, and then Miami according to the power ratings,
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: which I think are worth more than what the rankings
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: makers say and what the records say. But Kent State
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: decent team. Also, Akron and Kent State hate each other,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: you know, that's a huge rivalry there. But Akron was
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: able to get it done. Now they're facing Toledo, which
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: is actually a step down. I think Toledo is fourth
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: maybe fifth best in this conference. They're not a bad team,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: but they're not as good as Akron. I think Akron
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: should win this game, but that was a big win
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: for Akron over Kent State. Man, there's no doubt about it.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Kent State, it's a competitive team in this conference. Now,
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Akron they played Toledo once this year.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I think they beat them.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: By ten at home, which was basically about what people
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: would expect.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Nothing to really see there. Toledo did have the easier.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Game yesterday, so I actually think this game probably does
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: set up a little bit better for Toledo. The money's
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: coming in on an Akron though they're an eight point favorite,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: seventy two percent of tickets eighty one percent of the
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: cash on Akron. Now, Akron does have experience still being
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: in this game. Their coach has won this game probably
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: three of the last four years.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Or something like that. I want to say, it seems like.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Akron is always winning this this conference, but they have
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: the experience in doing so.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: I think the only recent year that Akron didn't win
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: this conference, I think Kent State slipped in there one
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: of the recent years. But I think Akron has been
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: the winner three of the last four years, concluding last
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: year when they had to make a huge comeback in
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: this final against Miami Ohio.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Last year.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: I think Akron should win this game. The money looks
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: like it's all coming in an Akron, although I would
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: probably lead towards taking the points with Toledo. Believe it
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: or not, but the money is kind of coming in
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: an Akron.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: This game is in Cleveland. You know, two Ohio teams
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: getting to play in Ohio. Take that for what it's worth.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know Ohio's geography well enough. I know Toledo
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: is on the lake on Lake Erie, and so it
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: is Cleveland, but Toledo is west, whereas I believe Akron
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: is somewhere south of Cleveland. You correct me if I'm
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: wrong about that. I think Akron is probably closer to Cleveland.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: But whatever Prairie View was near Houston, yeah, I figured
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: it was in I was gonna guess it was either
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: in Texas or like Oklahoma or something bizarre somewhere in
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: the But Texas isn't really a prairie state though. That's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: kind of dude, Houston, Houston's not in the prairies.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: That's pretty well.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Houston's like close to the Gulf. Houston's like a Bayou
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: area city.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Akron, I guess has a little bit of
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: a location edge there that they're closer to Cleveland. All right,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: So that's that game for me, slightly towards taking the points,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: but you know, not a huge opinion there. The ACC
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Championship is Virginia and Duke, which kind of I think
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: was what people thought it would be. These are the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: top two teams in the ACC. Duke is far and
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: away the best, but remember Duke is without a couple
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: other guys here, but they still look pretty good yesterday.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Caleb Foster is out and he's gonna miss a significant
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: chunk of the actual NCAA tournament as well. And of course,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: as I said, nigung Ba, however you pronounce his name.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: He's out.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: I believe he's going to be back for the actual tournament,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: and of course, you know, Duke's gonna have their first
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be a one seed. I mean, they're gonna
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: have their first game against a sixteen seed.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: So you know what they should.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Do is Bringngungba back in that game just to work
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: him back in, which is what Duke did last year,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: because you don't want like a reverse injured player theory
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: to happen in a very meaningful game, you know what
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: So Duke did it right last year.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: They brought Flag back in the game, the one versus
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: sixteen game because they knew.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't be like totally up to speed yet.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: But obviously they could win that game without him, but
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: it was smart to bring him back in that game,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: which is what I think they did. So that's what
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: they should do this year. But I believe he's not
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: gonna play in this.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Game here.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: And of course Nagungba is not quite as impact of
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: as a Cooper Flag was. I mean, Cooper Flag being
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: out was like Boozer being out here.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: The better boozer.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Cameron Boozer, not to be confused with Cam Boozer, the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: form boot actual Boozer and drug addict Pitcher. If you're
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: familiar with that guy, Cam Boozer. It's a good story, man.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: He like almost died because of his drug addictions and whatever,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: and he wound up making the major leagues, like in
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: his mid to late third he's with the Boston Red
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Sox like last year or two years ago, Cam Boozer.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Interesting story there. The Red Sox wound up trading him
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: though to the White Sox, and I don't know where
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: he is now. But I like that guy. Man, He
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: didn't he wasn't quite really that good, you know. The
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Red Sox were using him out of the bullpen.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, Baseball is gonna be happening soon. Man.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: We're in spring training here.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Baseball is not far off, so we're gonna have baseball
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: and NBA playoffs. I usually crush playoffs, so we're gonna
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: see what happens there.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway. Virginia Duke. Duke is shorthanded. Of course, Virginia.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Easily beat Miami yesterday, which is pretty impressive, to be honest,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: and Duke looked worse than they actually were in that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: game gets Clemson, like the game got a little bit
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: closer than it really was. At the end of that game,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Duke had the upper hand all throughout that game. Really,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: I bet both teams look pretty good yesterday now Duke.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: At this point, I don't think Duke needs to win
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: this game. I think they're gonna be a one seed anyway.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: But I guess there is still the argument that if
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: they lose this game, they won't be the overall one seed.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But how much does that matter? Right because you know
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Florida's excuse me, Michigan will Yeah, all of those teams, Michigan, Florida, Arizona,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: they're all still alive right now, so they're all still
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: projected one seeds. You know, one of the teams is
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: going to get the overall one right now, it's Duke.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: How much does that matter?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because the way that it works is
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: the team gets to choose what region they get to
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: play in. But if you're the overall one, it doesn't
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: you know, you just get first pick.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: But none of the other teams.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Are going to pick the East region, you know what
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, unless they want to just be total trolls
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: and fuck with Duke, but Duke would.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Be the only one of the teams that would act.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: She picked DC, So you know, that's what we have
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: going on there. So I don't know what Duke's you know,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Duke's gonna have that much motivation here. Now,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Duke did beat Virginia at Duke the only time they
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: played by twenty six, so they did beat them. Handling,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Duke is significantly better than Virginia, that is the case.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Virginia does play defense, though they play slow. Both teams
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: play slow. Both team's very very good on deepfense. Duke
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: is the better offensive team of the two. Virginia a
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: little bit lacking on the offensive side.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else do I have to say
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: about this game.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe Virginia will make some adjustments after losing pretty bad
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: they did Duke that first time.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you have to downgrade.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Duke a little bit for the injuries they have, but
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: they are still a pretty deep roster. Although really with
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Duke everything does run through Boozer though, so if Boozer
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: has an off game or something. I think Duke is
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit susceptible.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, this is a hard game
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: to figure out.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Duke is only lanth seven and a half, which doesn't
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: look like that much. The game is in Charlotte, so
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Duke is gonna have a ton of fans there for sure.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: So I don't think Duke's I really just don't see
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: them being totally unmotivated in this game, you know, like
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: playing in front of their home crowd. You've made it
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: this far, you know, Duke won this tournament last year,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: of course, you know, with ease, and you know they
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: were just the significantly better team over all of them.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: They really are again here now the money is coming
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: in on Virginia fifty three percent taket seventy one percent
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: of the casual Virginia. I'll agree with Virginia plus the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: points here, but it's not a strong opinion for me
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: on that one. You know, obviously it wouldn't shock if
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Duke won that game fairly easily.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: But both teams are obviously gonna be in the tournament.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Virginia, they're basically like locked into a four seed at
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: this point in the tournament pretty much, so you know,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: I mean you could kind of question their motivation to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: other than the fact that it's Duke, so they probably
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: want to beat Duke Bob Woodward. You mean from Woodward,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Woodwood and Bernstein. Uh, you know one of the guys
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: who you know exposed Watergate?
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: You mean, I don't.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I know who that is, Rob Woodward.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: All right, we have the Conference USA final at night here.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: We have a few late night games after this too,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: or a couple Conference USA. The very unexpected matchup of
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Kenesaw State, who is the three or I think the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: three seed in the in this conference. No, there must
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: be the six, because I think Western Kentucky was the three,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: and they're up against the four seed Louisiana Tech. Very unexpected.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Kennesaw upset Sam Houston yesterday. These games are all being
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: played in Huntsville, Alabama, I believe. And Louisiana Tech beat
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Missouri State, which is not unexpected. But what was unexpected
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Missouri State beating Liberty. But I told you this conference
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: might be a little bit of chaos because Liberty was
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: debathly a susceptible team. I thought Sam Houston would win
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: this conference, but now that's no longer the case. So
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: now we have Kennesaw, who I think is new to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: this conference because I think they were in the A
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: SAW and even up until like last year. And then
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: we have Louisiana Tech, who gets to play two newcomers
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: to this conference in a row Missouri State in Kennesaw. Now,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: LA Tech has one of the best defenses in this conference,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: is probably the best defense in this conference. I think
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: it's like close to a top one hundred ken baumb depfense,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: which is good for this conference. Kennsaw is a two
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorite here, but the money is
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: coming in on LA Tech. Fifty tickets are on Kennesaw,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: sixty six percent of the cash on LA Tech. I
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: agree with the with Louisiana Tech here, especially getting points
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: because Louisiana Tech is the better defense here. You know,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: both these teams had similar ish games yesterday, but LA
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Tech actually struggled against an inferior team yesterday kind of
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: so that bodes better for LA Tech in this game,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: I think, whereas Kennesaw pulled off an upset of Sam Houston,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: I think was the highest power rated team in this conference.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Now LA Tech is pretty uh lucky, so there is that.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: I think both teams might be but LA Tech is
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: the better depfense and they slow the game way down,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: whereas Kennesaw tries to go really fast and they're the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: better offense, but the significantly worse deepfense. And you know me,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: I like the slow paced defensive team, especially getting points
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: in like a championship game like this, I will have
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: to go with the better depfense getting points. I would
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: take the points with LA Tech. I think they I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: think they will win this game. Actually, so I think
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: La Tech is going to be going dancing and probably
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: getting about a fourteen seed something around there. We'll see
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: what happens, man. Although I had Sam Houston as either
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: a thirteen or fourteen as well, but it is still
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a drop off for sure because Sam Houston.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: Because of Sam Houston losing. How do I not remember
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: that Rob Woodward? Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, I don't remember
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: every single Red Sox player.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: If I was a kid that I mean, I don't know.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Even when I was a kid, I really paid attention
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: to the Red Sox.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I loved baseball.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, speaking of Red Sox pictures and having
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: connections there. My swim teacher when I was a kid
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: was Jim Lawnborg's daughter.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: So that's how I learned to swim, the good old,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: you know, private swim lessons there. I don't know, because
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: my mom was like, I don't know, I guess like
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: I don't want to learn how to swim and like
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, you know, packed public pool with
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: a bunch of other kids.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Man. I mean it's not.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: Like like my parents are not like rich assholes either,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know, we're like middle class, you know whatever.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know Jim Lombard's daughter. I think
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: she's probably hot. I don't know, Like I was a
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: kid back then and she was probably late teens, and
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I kind of had a crush on
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: her back then, so I don't know, she probably wound
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: up being hot.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. Yeah.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's how I got my name to Toad.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: I'm an okay swimmer, but I don't know. I mean swimming,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it's good exercise, man. And then we did
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: have a pool. We had an above ground pool when
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: I was growing up, but a lot of my friends
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: didn't have pools at all. So a lot of my
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: friends I basically became Lisa Simpson in that Simpsons episode
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: where she becomes the queen of summertime because they have
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: the pool and everybody goes to their house. That was
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: kind of me during the summer because a lot of
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: people wanted to use my pool, even though it was
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: an above ground pool. Again, a lot of my friends
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: just didn't have pools for whatever reason.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So yeah, that was the summertime thing. Man.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: I had a lot of friends over my house a
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the time. They were usually me for my
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: pool forty eight pounds. I was thirty eight. When I
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: was like seven or eight years old. All right, let's
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: get this done. Big West Hawaii and you See Irvine.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: So the top two teams in this conference did indeed
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: make the final here. They only had to play one
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: game to get here. U Hawaii beat cal State Fullerton
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: last night. The earlier game, I believe was you see
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Irvine last night beating north Ridge, which was a more
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: difficult opponent to be Both teams won fairly easily, though
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: Irvine has a little bit extra rest because they played earlier.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: This is interesting, man, The home team won each matchup
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: during the regular season. Irvine won by eleven at home,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: and then when they had to go out to Hawaii
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: they lost I think by like one point.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they only lost by one.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: So Irvine actually was kind of the better team. This
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: is a this is a difficult matchup to figure out.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: This is going to be in Las Vegas. I think
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: at the Orleans I believe is where this is. You know,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think the location really helps one team or
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: the other that much. Irvine is a two point favorite,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: down from two and a half to two. The money
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: is coming in on Hawaii sixty seven percent of tickets
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: on Irvine, fifty six percent of the cash on Hawaii.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Both these teams are good on deepfense. Hawaii's forty fourth
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: in the country on deepfense. Irvine is twenty fifth. Irvine
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: is a little bit more lopsided, but both teams are
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: actually lacking pretty badly offensively. They're both really good on deepense.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Irvine probably is gonna try to slow this thing down,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: even though they're a mid tempo team. Hawaii wants to
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: go fast, so Irvine is probably not gonna want to
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: allow that. Irvine is also the unluckier team. According to
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: Ken Pom, I kind of lean towards Irvine in this one. Man,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: I kind of disagree with the the money on this one,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: but it's basically just a pick the winner price. I
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: think Irvine money line might be a look here, possibly
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: an under as well, because again, both these teams are
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: offensively deficient. It's a championship game where the defenses are
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: gonna play intense. Both defenses are a lot better than
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: both offenses, so an under does make sense in that
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: game as well. By the way, I think in Kennisa
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: and La Tech, I think the total is correlated to
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: the side and that one. I think if you like
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: La Tech, you probably like the under. If you like Kennisaw,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: you probably like the over. That total is pretty low,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: and it dropped three points outright here, three and a
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: half down to one forty the Hawaii you see, Irvine
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: total went up a little bit to one thirty eight,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: but I think it under is worth consideration there. And
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: then the whack final is going to be cal Baptist
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: and Utah Valley. These are the two best teams in
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: this conference as well, and the top two seeds. Cal
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Baptist I believe, played the later of the two games
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: last night. They beat Utah Tech. Uh these teams, I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: mean the conferences I'm talking about right now. These teams
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: are not really gonna be tie though, because they each
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: only played one game so far. Utah Valley barely got
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: by ut Arlington though, so I think that doesn't look
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: good for Utah Valley that they were like nine point
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: favorites or whatever and they almost lost to ut Arlington.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: So I think that might be good that Utah Valley
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of a scare here.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: These teams played three times during the regular season. Utah
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: Valley won the last game at home pretty easily by
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: nineteen points, really held cal Baptists offense down, even though
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: their offense is actually I think decent. Usually, Utah Valley
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: lost in overtime on the road, and they also beat
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: cal Baptists at home the first time, both those games
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: being seven point margins. But Utah Valley almost swept all
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: three games.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: They are the better team here. They looked not great yesterday.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Cal Baptists looked a bit better beating that, you know,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Utah Tech team that did have a good season. Utah
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Valley's a three point favorite. The fact that they paid
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: the five to make sure that they were able to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: play in this tournament. I think tells you they do
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: want to be here. This isn't Henders, you know. This
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: is in the Orleans. My mistake, Henderson, Nevadas, where the
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Big West is playing.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: My mistake. I got these two mixed up. My mistake.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: The whack is in Las Vegas. Yeah whatever, It's close enough.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: Eighty six percent of tickets, ninety six percent of the
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: cash in Utah Valley. Whichever team wins this is going
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: to be a newcomer to the tournament.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Either way.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: I kind of lean into Utah Valley in this one.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: They are the better team. They looked worse yesterday. The
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: money's all coming on the under to the total already
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: dropped like six points, so you lost some value on
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: the under there, but it is it is expected to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: be an understyle game.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Utah Valley's eighty ninth and ken Balm, which is pretty good,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: and they're pretty balanced. They're just outside the top one
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: hunder on defense, inside the top one hundred and on offense.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Both teams are pretty lucky.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: According to ken bum though cal Baptist is just outside
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: the top one hundred.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: They're actually a little bit better on deepfense, but Actually.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: They're worse on offense than I thought they were, so
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: they're more lopsided towards deep fense. Utah Valley more of
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: a balanced team. Cal Baptist tries to go slow. Utah
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Valley is more fast than they are. Both teams very lucky,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: but cal Baptists actually the luckier team according to Kinbam.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: So again this one, you know, it could wind up
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: coming down to which team can control the pace, which
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: you know, Utah Valley if they are able to speed
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: this up a little bit, which they might try to do,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: maybe the under, you know, makes a little bit less sense,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: especially when you have less value on the number. Now
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: that one, I'm a little bit less bullish on the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: under on that one.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: So those are my thoughts on that. I lead to
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: Utah Valley there.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: All right, let me quick break and then I'm gonna
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: talk about hockey.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, try to get this done, all right, I'll be
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be back in a second.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Alright, hockey, I'm gonna try to kind of go rapid
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: fire on this.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I guess, I don't know.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, tons of hockey today kind of pisses me off,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: to be honestly, I have to go through all this
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: to try to find value anywhere that I can or
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: a good spot, and I can't find any in hockey.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: This hockey board is terrible, huge hockey board, and I'm
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: skipping it, you know.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm not giving out a lot of
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: hockey plays recently, but I just don't see anything. First
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: game up in the afternoon, Anaheim in Ottawa. Anaheim just
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: lost pretty badly to Toronto. Not a great loss from Anaheim,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: but they're not as good on the road either.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Most of these teams didn't play yesterday.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: I'll point out there is one team I think on
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: a back to back today, so I will point that out.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Anaheim probably wants to mounts back from that bad loss.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: Ottawa's coming up a bigger game against Montreal, a little
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: bit of a tougher game, but they have had an
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: extra day off. They haven't played since Wednesday, and that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: was a return home spot. And a lot of times
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: when you return home from a road trip, you can
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: have a bad game and then a lot of times
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: when that happens, you do better in the next game.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: So Ottawa is in that spot, which is a positive
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: spot for them. So I think both teams are an
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: okay spots here. The money is indicating on Ottawa for now,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: they're a big favorite minus one sixty five, which kind
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: of surprises me.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: That looks really big, actually, So.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: I think the public might have a tendency to think
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: there's value on Anaheim as a dog here sixty three
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: percent of the tickets on them, fifty three percent of
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: the cash.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Though, on Ottawa, I don't have.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: Much of a reason to disagree with what the market
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: is saying there. So I mean it is saying Ottawa,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: but I don't have a good feel for the game
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: Tulsa is my play.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I have one in the NBA, though, which is, you know,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit borderline, but I decided to throw it
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: on my card.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it wins.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: ABC at three pm, my Boston Bruins are at Washington.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a quick revenge spot
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: for Washington, unfortunately, because the Bruins beat Washington in Boston
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: on March seventh. So there's a little bit of a
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: quick revenge angle here with Washington. Might adjust some things.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: The Bruins had a bad loss at home the other
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: day against San Jose. They were losing that game four
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: to nothing at one point the Bruins outshot them, although
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: part of.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: The reason was that they were behind, but the Brewins
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: had more possession in that game.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the fuck happened in that game.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: I was at the Leonardo Jony comedy show that same
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: night and I ran into a bunch.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Of very sad.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Bruins fans coming out of that game. You know, Bruins
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: could be in a bounced back spot after such an
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: ugly loss at home. They are better at home, though
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: they're significantly better at home now they're gonna go out
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: on the road. Washington did just be Buffalo, which is
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: a much better result.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: That's a big win.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Buffalo has been good and they're technically returning home from
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: a road trip, but it was only Wednesday Thursday to
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia and Buffalo, so that's not really a big deal.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: But I think the spot.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: Is a little bit better for the Bruins here, even
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: though I know they're not as good on the road.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: I know there's a little bit of revenge for Washington here.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: The money's indicating on Boston. As a Bruins fan, I'll,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll hope that the Bruins win, but Washington
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: down for minus one forty to minus one, thirty fifty
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: percent of tickets, sixty eight percent of the cash on
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: the Bruins.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: So the money is agreeing with me on that. What picks?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: What the fuck are you talking about?
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: We got some pictures after the show and then people
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: did some horrendous things with them, demonic things. Colorado and Winnipeg.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Colorado just beat Seattle five to one. I mean Colorado.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: They're used to blowing teams out, though, because they're Colorado.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Going to Winnipeg now, it's still pretty satisfying whenever you
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: beat anybody down five to one like that. Colorado bounced
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: right back from having a tough loss to Edmonton, so
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: they did not have a hangover spot there. Winnipeg is
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: coming up a pretty disgusting loss though, six to three
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: to the Rangers with hellabook and net.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: That's real bad.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: They've lost my combined score of ten to four in
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: their last two games staying at home. Maybe they were
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: looking ahead to Colorado, but I think you're gonna get
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: at least an effort out of Winnipeg here. I don't
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: know if hellobuok is gonna be a net or not,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: but I would probably lean to Winnipeg here they're a
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: huge home dog here, Colorado up to minus one eighty four,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: eighty eight percent of the tickets, only eighty seven percent
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: of the cash on them. So I would fade the
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: public in that one.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: I would look towards Winnipeg.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: Like puck line or you know, split puck line, money line,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Not a strong pine. These are strong opinions for me. Today.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Rangers are coming off that win I just mentioned, and
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: they're going to Minnesota.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: After the Rangers beat Winnipeg. They've won three games in
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: a row, believe it or not, and of course two
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: of them are on the road, and the home one
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: was against Calgary, who's not good.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Having a step up a glass to play Minnesota, hear.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Rangers will likely show up for it
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: because Minnesota is having a good season. But you know,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: maybe they won't do too well against Minnesota because Minnesota
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: is better than those other teams. The Rangers just beat.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: Minnesota's coming off a home loss to Philadelphia, shootout loss.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe they will bounce back from that not
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: a great loss against a mediocre team there. Minnesota dropped
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: to minus two fifteen for minus two fifty they got
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: eighty three percent of tickets eighty four percent of the cash.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: This is a difficult one, man. And then you gotta see,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: like I forgot to look. Does Minnesota have a look ahead?
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: I did look earlier. No, not really, and they only
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: played Toronto. So I don't know, man. I mean I
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: kind of lean towards Minnesota and that one. All the
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: Rangers are good at home. I think Minnesota is a
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: little bit overrated. But you know, I don't I don't
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: know how you'd even want to play Minnesota in that game.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: If you really want in Minnesota, I mean, you could
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: go team total over total. Looks like it's hovering around
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: six or so.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: You could go, you know, puck line, I guess is
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: a favorite, although I'm not huge on that anyway, whatever,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: NHL Network at seven PM Toronto and Buffalo. Toronto in
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: their last game, just lost Austin Matthews for the season.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: That news came out yesterday.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what his injury was, but they actually
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: beat Anaheim. Matthews got hurt in the game. He's their
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: best player. He's not going to be back for the
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: rest of the season. Toronto, it's pretty much a lost
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: season for them anyway, but they might show up in
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: this game because they're playing against Buffalo is having a
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: good season. It's I guess you could call it an
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: injured player theory spot because their best player.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: It'll be their first.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Time without him this time, so they might step up
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: their effort without him, although that doesn't have as much
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: of an effect in hockey because one guy doesn't play
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: as much. But ending along losing streak I think is
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: good for Toronto. You finally bust out of that losing momentum.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Toronto had him won a single game since the Olympic break,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: so that was a big win just to get out
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: of that slump. I think that might give them some
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: momentum coming into this one. Buffalo is coming off a
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: loss of Washington though, so they might show up for
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: this game as well.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: They do have a road trip coming up. They got
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: Vegas next, so.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe they will potentially look ahead it And actually for Buffalo,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a bad spot where we actually have
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: colliding like ending of streaks here, if.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: You want to call it that.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Buffalo just lost a long win streak to Washington. A
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: lot of times when you lose a win streak, that
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: will hang you over into the next game and you
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: won't have a good game in the next game. So
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: I do actually like Toronto in this one. Buffalo looks
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: like they're the public side with a lot less of
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: the money on them. They're down to minus two thirty here,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: ninety tickets on them, sixty seven percent of the cash,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: so a lot less of the money on Buffalo. I
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: don't know if I can quite get there with it,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: but I do like Toronto in that game. Man, you know,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: looking at all the games sitting on the board, that's
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: probably my favorite out of all of these. If I
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: was gonna do anything Toronto on the puck line, it's
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: you know, it's honestly pretty tempting. With the ending of
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: streaks that's going on there, I think I'll leave it alone.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: But I like Toronto there. San Jose at Montreal.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: San Jose just beat the Bruins, like I said, on
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Now they're going up to Montreal.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: Montreal coming into this game off of beating Ottawa.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: Montreal Ottawa.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: You know, those two teams don't really like each other,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: so decent win for them.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: They have an extra day off compared to San Jose.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Montreal has been for two days coming back home from that,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: but it was only a single game road trip to
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: Ottawa whatever, not exactly a horrible spot for them. I
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say this is a game that I have almost
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: no opinion on at all.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: The money is saying San Jose.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: Montreal already dropped from minus one ninety to minus one
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: sixty fifty three percent of tickets on them, sixty eight
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: percent of the cash on fifty three percent of tickets
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: on Montreal.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: I mean sixty eight percent of the cash.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: On San Jose. Money is coming in on San Jose.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Take that for what you want to. The market read
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: is saying San Jose. I don't really have a strong
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: opinion on it one way or the other, so I
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: guess I would.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Lean with the market in that one.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Carolina at Tampa Bay is probably the best game of
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: the day on the hockey board. Carolina just lost real
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: bad at home to Saint Louis, so you got to
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: think maybe they were looking ahead to this game going
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: out on the road.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's a much better spot for them just
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: bounce back.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: Although they did actually beat Tampa Bay back on February
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: twenty six at home coming out of the All Star
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: break or the Olympic break, excuse me beating them by
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: one at home.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: So I guess there is a little bit of a.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: Recent revenge angle for Tampa here, but I don't know
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: if that's enough, because Tampa just had a nice win
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: over Detroit in their last game. They are staying at home,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: but that's a pretty satisfying win. Tampa Bay actually has
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: been playing pretty lackluster since coming out of the Olympic break. Man,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: They've been a lot worse than they actually are. But
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: I think I would have to lean to Carolina in
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: this one because you got Tampa Bay coming off a
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: four to one win over a good team. Carolina is
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: coming off a horrible loss to a bad team. So
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: I would have to lean towards Carolina here. Tampa Bay
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: down for minus one thirty five to minus one thirty one,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: sixty percent tickets, seventy five percent of the cash on Carolina.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: So the market is agreeing with me on that one.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: As my head it gets itchy again, but yes, I
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: agree with Carolina there. Kings are at New Jersey here,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: or I could just say LA because there's only one
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: LA team here. As I shrink the dude, come on, man,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: fuck fucking firefox man, fucking windows.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: Really anyway, Kings are.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: At New Jersey here, This one I consider putting on
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: my card too. Kings are I think the only team
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: today that's on a back to back. They played at
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: the Islanders yesterday. Now it's a quick trip from the
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Islanders from wherever they play. Now Queen's going to Northern
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. That's a quick trip. But nice win on
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: the road against the Islanders there. Now they got New Jersey,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: you know, they might overlook New Jersey, although the next
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: opponent is the Rangers, which isn't exactly an opponent that
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: you're gonna look forward to at this point, you know,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: look ahead to because the Rangers are having a bad season.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: New Jersey's coming off of a real bad loss, and
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: they didn't play yesterday. They had a lot of time
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: off before that game too, so they're very well rested
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: here staying at home, and they just lost horribly to Calgary.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: I mean they lost five to four, but it's a
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: horrible loss to Calgary. So I expect New Jersey to
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: bounce back here. This one I was considering putting on
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: my card. Obviously, I like the Devils in this one.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: New Jersey down for MI one revived to minus one
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: forty four. The market read is all over them, with
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: fifty to fifty on the tickets seventy eight percent of
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: the cash on the Devils. I agree it would be
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: Devil's money line for me in that one, even though
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: you're paying a little bit of a price for it
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: because La played yesterday, so that is factor into the line,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: So you are having to pay for the rest advantage
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: there a little bit.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: I don't quite love the fact that the Kings are
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: really good on the road, but I mean you don't
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: want to just avoid fading them in every single road
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: game they're in, right, Like, if you see a good
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: spot and it's good enough, you should actually make the play.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: Probably New Jersey definitely a lean for me in that one.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: This is all betting tickets versus cash.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: The tickets are.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: That's like the quantity of bets. That's the number of bets.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: The cash is the amount of money being wagered on
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: that team. So what that tells you is it basically
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: tells you where the big money bets are. Like if
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: you have seventy percent of the tickets on one side,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: that's seventy percent just the number of bets are on
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: one side, but then you have sixty percent of the
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: actual money is completely on the other side. That tells
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: you that the bigger bets are on that side, because
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: if the amount of money is on the complete opposite
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: side from where the amount of tickets are, you know,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: that means that the smaller quantity bigger bets are on
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: that side where the money is, you know what I mean,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: And that's usually the professional money, whereas that ticket percentage
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: is basically just going to be that's all the smaller bets,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: the recreational bets, you know what I mean. Yeah, I
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: forget because I just you know, I just keep going.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: I just talk.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: I forget, man, some people don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: hopefully that makes sense, all right, Calgary at the Islanders here,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: But yes, I'm not talking about how many people are
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: attending the game, because I don't know what that's gonna be.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: ESPN does tell you the attendance for the game, though.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: Calgary just beat New Jersey, Like I said, decent wom
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: for them, But I don't think they're gonna really like
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: overlook the Islanders or anything, because the Islanders are having
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: a good season. Calgary is staying in the New York
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: area here for this. The Islanders did just have a
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: bad loss on the return home, and you know, I
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: talk about that when a team returns home from the
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: road a lot of times they'll have a bad game.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: But they're actually on a back to back. That was yesterday,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: So I think I got that game right. I think
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: I had that game right and the other one wrong yesterday.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: I think I leaned to the Kings and to Edmonton yesterday.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the Islanders returned home, didn't have a good game.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: A lot of times when that happens, the team will
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: do better in the next game, because again, they just
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: get distracted upon returning home. They got stuff to do
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: at home, so maybe they will bounce back. But they
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: are on a back to back here, which ss worrying
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: me a little bit. Looking at the market on this one,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: seventy three percent of the tickets and ninety six percent
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: of the cash on the Islanders. They did drop from
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: one minus one sixty five to minus one fifty five
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: on the money line, so kind of differing market signals there.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: Basically were the money line initially moved towards Calgary, but
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: it looks like some of the cash is actually coming
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: in on the Islanders here. I kind of lean to
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: the Islanders in that one. I really don't have a
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: strong opinion there. Columbus at Philadelphia. Columbus just had a
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: close game against Florida. I think they went to overtime
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: with Florida on their last game, so that was a
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: big game.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: They beat Tampa Bay the game before.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: That too, So I think this is a bad spot
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: for Columbus after two huge games in Florida, beating Tampa
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: Bay and almost beating Florida. Now coming up to Philadelphia
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: and they have a huge game on deck against Carolina.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: So I think this is kind of a sandwich spot
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: here because Philadelphia hasn't been playing well. Columbus in fact
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: beat them back on January twenty eighth, the last time
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: they played them in Columbus five to three. So why
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: am I not giving you Philadelphia as a play here?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: I mean when I looked at this, I was like, oh, yeah,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia is going to be a play. Columbus is
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: in a sandwich spot. This is a really bad spot
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: for Columbus. Then I looked at Philadelphia and I was like,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: damn it, because they're playing a third game in four
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: days isn't great. But the main reason why I don't
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: want to do it is they just upset Minnesota on
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: the road and a shootout on Thursday, so they could
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: be in a letdown spot too and overall Columbus, so
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: I just don't think I could get there with it. Man,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: I still lean to Philadelphia. I think the spot for
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: Columbus is worse. Columbus sixty eight percent of tickets only
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: sixty four percent of the cash, so the market is
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: agreeing with me on Philadelphia for the time being, at least,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: even though Columbus did go up to minus one thirty four.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: So I would still lean towards Philadelphia on the money line.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: There.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: I would also agree with an over It's one of
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: one of the toad over leans in hockey, where both
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: teams are kind of in bad spots, and when that
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: happens sometimes you get either tired or distracted play, and
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of times that affects the deep bens more
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: than anything else. Also, the these teams are They're not
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: good in the goaltend department, man, these teams are not
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: So I could definitely see that game being an over,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: and I think kind of the feeling about these teams as, oh,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: they're not very good teams, so that means they don't
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: score a lot.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: But that's not.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: True that The vagular matter is they give up a
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: lot of goals. So I could see that game. Yeah,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: I kind of like the over in that one for sure.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could see that game definitely going.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: Over the six or wherever it is.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Detroit at Dallas this is also a good game. This
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: is the second best game on the board. I would
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: say Detroit bad loss, well, not a bad loss, but
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: they lost four to one to Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: is very good, but Detroit did just lose. They've lost
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: four of their last five games, all those losses to
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: pretty good teams, though, But they might, you know, at
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: least they should show.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: Up for this game against Dallas.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Dallas just smashed Edmonton seven to two, so
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: they might be feeling really high on themselves after that win.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: They're basically on a huge win streak, just with one.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: Loss barely losing to Colorado in a shootout in there.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: But Dallas is like the hottest team in hockey right now,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: so I know, it's really tough to fade them, but
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: that is what I would do in this game.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: Because they're coming.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: Off just such a ridiculous blowout win in Detroit, coming
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: off another kind of ugly looking loss, I would have
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: to lean to Detroit here. Dallas is very public, up
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: to minus one seventy five, ninety six percent of the tickets,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: only ninety three percent.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: Of the cash on them. Yeah, it would be Detroit
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: You know, make it like a puck line, partially puck line,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: partially money line. Go balls to the wall playing money line,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to do there. I would lean to
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: Detroit in that one. Pittsburgh at Utah, Pittsburgh just lost.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Horrible to Vegas six to two.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: Really ugly loss for Pittsburgh there, but they do have
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: Colorado on deck and they're having to go to Elevation
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: here for a fourth straight road game. Part of the
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: reason they lost to Vegas that bad was probably that
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh was coming off a real tough game where they
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: took Carolina to shoot out the game before that, So
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: I think I did give out a lean on Vegas
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: in that one.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: After that it was.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: A bad spot for Pittsburgh, Although I think Vegas was
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: kind of in a bad spot too. Utah, you gotta
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: figure they're gonna bounce back too though. I mean, they've
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: had three pretty bad games in a row, including three
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: to two overtime losses to Chicago in those three games
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: in a shutout lost to Minnesota, so you gotta think
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: they're probably gonna bounced back.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: Spot two.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: That second loss to Chicago is in a return home spot,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: and you know how bad those are. It was bad
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: enough that they couldn't even get the quick revenge as
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: a favorite, as the better team, as a big favorite.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: I think so a lot of times.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: Again, like I say, you return home, you have a
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: bad game, A lot of times you have a much
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: better game the next time out. Although Utah does have
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: Dallas and Vegas on decks.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: So those are big games.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: But I think the spot is a little bit better
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: for Utah here. So that's the way I would lean
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: Utah down for minus one fifty five to minus one
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: forty five nine per tickets, ninety eight percent of the
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: cash on them.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: They look like a.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: Public side, but that's probably the way I would lean.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: I would be I guess money line Utah on that
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: one Seattle at Vancouver. Very ugly game here in the
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest. Seattle not as good as their record looks. Vancouver,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: I think is the worst team in the NHL. Seattle
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: got blown out by Colorado in their last game. They've
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: lost four games in a row and again not looking
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: very good. Like I said, I think they were worse
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: than their record look prior to this bad losing stretch here.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: We're really the only good team they really lost to,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: and there was Colorado.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: But now they get to go out on the road
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: for a game against Vancouver.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe that will help them just forget about everything, go
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: out on the road, play some hockey.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: For that lost you just had.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: They do have Florida and Tampa Bay up next when
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: they return home, but I think they might show up
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: for this game against Vancouver. Vancouver did just beat Nashville
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: on a shootout in their last game, decent win. They
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: did lose that Seattle five to one backup February twenty eight,
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: twenty eighth, though. That was an ugly loss, so there
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: is a little bit of a revenge modive for Vancouver here,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: although they play the Florida teams as well coming up,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: So Florida and Tampa Bay, I think are both having
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: to travel out to the Pacific Northwest here at the
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: same time, which is kind of weird, I guess. But
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: Seattle up to minus one thirty one, seventy six percent
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: of tickets seventy nine percent of the cash at Seattle.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: They're a public side, you know. I mean, I kind
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: of slightly lean to Seattle in that one, but it's very,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: very difficult lean in that one. I hate that game,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: to be honest. And then we have a Chicago and
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: Vegas to finish it off. For Chicago, they beat Utah
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: twice in a row in overtime. Like I said, now
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: they're going to Vegas coming out of elevation. They have
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: a big TV game against Minnesota, then Minnesota again, then Colorado.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: So it as weird as it sounds.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: They might have overlook Vegas because vague guess just hasn't
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: been playing that well recently. I think Vegas is better
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: than what their current stretch would indicate. They've lost to
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of good teams in there too. They just
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: beat down Pittsburgh in a revenge game, by the way,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: which I did just mention, uh six to two, but
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: that ended a losing streak for them, and they're staying
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: at home, So I actually think that does mean Vegas
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: has some new momentum here.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: They are coming up a very satisfying win. They do
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: a buffalo on deck, so that does worry me a
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: little bit that maybe there's a chance they overlook Chicago here.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: But I think I prefer Vegas in this one. They're
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: up for minus one sixty to minus two twenty two though,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what happened there. I don't know
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: if Chicago is still dealing with like Night being sick
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: or something. I don't know what's going on here. Man, No,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: because he played in their last game, so I don't know.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. Man, it looks like
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: he's healthy again, so I have no idea. He is
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: their best goalie. But something caused Vegas to move huge
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: on the on the number there, ninety four percent of tickets,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the cash. Nothing to glean from
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: that other than yeah, Vegas is a public side. But yeah,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: that makes sense. But I think Vegas does win that game.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: If I was gonna play it, i'd probably find some
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: way to play Vegas in that one. Maybe Vegas over
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: their team total kind of makes sense in a game
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: like that, all right, and then we have NBA to
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: finish this off after noon action in the NBA with
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: a few games here Brooklyn at Philadelphia.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: This is as ugly as it gets.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: Man, Brooklyn, you know they're just playing out the stretch here.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: They just lost at Atlanta. Maybe they'll show up for
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: a game against Philadelphia. But the problem is Philadelphia has
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: nobody in their lineup right now. You know, Paul George
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: is suspended and bead is still out with an ankle
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: or actually it's an oblique injury now my mistake.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: He might be back tomorrow. It looks like Oubray is out.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: Until March twenty eighth, as it is right now, Maxie
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: out even longer than that. It's ridiculous what's going on
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: with Philadelphia? Man, they have nobody, although it looks like
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn has a lot of guys on their injury report too.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: This is a horrible, horrible game, Like, how do you
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: even handicap a game like this? It's ridiculous, It's insane
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: as far as you know the spot, Brooklyn. Yeah, like
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: I said, they just lost to Atlanta. Philadelphia just lost
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: really badly at Detroit. But I mean, we know Detroit's good.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Now they're returning home from that single game road trip.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you think both teams are gonna give
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: you an effort here, I don't even know what to
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: do with this game. The Sixers are only an eight
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: and a half way favorite because the Sixers are playing
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: all backups here, sixty two percent of the tickets on
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: them sixty one now fifty six percent of the cash
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: on the nets. The market read the money is agree
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: with the nets here. I yeah, I mean I can't
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: touch the game. The market read is saying to take
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: the points of the nets. Okay, I mean I would
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: not That's not something I would want to, you know,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: have my money on.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. Milwaukee at Atlanta.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee not playing well recently, even though they do have
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: young honest in the line up here, they did play okay,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: I guess against Miami in their last game. They lost
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: my seven. That's not a horrible result. I mean, Miami's
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: all right. Milwaukee now going to Atlanta here probably trying
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: to break this losing streak. Man, I mean, Giannis got
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: to become the leader again and motivate these guys. You know,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Atlanta's on a ridiculous win streak. They've won eight games
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: in a row, beating mostly bad teams in that stretch,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: though in fact, I don't think they've beaten really a
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: single good team. In fact, I think the best team
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: they beat during that stretch was the Milwaukee Bucks on
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: the row. That was the best win. Every other win
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: was at home, by the way, during this stretch. So
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think Atlanta is as good as this current
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: win streak looks.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: And this is kind of a quick revenge spot for
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee here.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: Now Atlanta, they did only just beat Brooklyn, though, and
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: they're staying at home. They got Orlando on deck, so
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Are they gonna look ahead to that?
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe, But you know, the Bucks playing close
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: with Miami doesn't set up that well for the Bucks here.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think the money is coming in on the Hawks.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: Of from eight to nine here, fifty four percent of
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: tickets eighty one percent of the cash on the Hawks.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: I guess one question is, you know, are the Bucks
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: gonna start to pack it in for the season if
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: they know they're not gonna make the playoffs? I don't
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: know the money is coming in on the Hawks, laying
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: it for what it's worth there, man, But I think
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: probably you're laying too many points at this point when
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: you have a Hawks team with eight wins in a
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: row and basically all of them were against bad teams.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't like it. I gotta stay
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: away from that one. The Amazon Prime game in the
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: late afternoon is actually the game that I'm gonna give out.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: The market agrees with me on this one at least,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: so here we go best bets. And this is a
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: rare situation where I'm actually gonna give up the much
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: hype Charlotte Hornets as a play plus five and a
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: half because.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: It's against the San Antonio Spurs. Man.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: Charlotte, they're coming off kind of a lackluster effort against Sacramento,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: and I know they're having to travel from California to
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: Texas here.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: They got two days off.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: They're in the middle of a road trip, and I
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: know sometimes that can hurt you a little bit. But
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: with two days off that helps because they'd played a
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: bunch of games in quick succession. But now that they're
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: coming off kind of an iffy effort against a bad
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: Sacramento team, that has like nobody playing for them. I
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: think they were looking ahead to this one. I think
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: they're gonna give you a big effort this time. Meanwhile,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: the spot that San Antonio in San Antonio is in
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: is quite bad. I know it's difficult to fade San
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: Antonio here, but Charlotte, you know their metrics. They've been
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: like one of the top ten teams in the NBA
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: over the last like two months. San Antonio just lost
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: a win streak. And this is a crazy streak where
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: after they beat Philadelphia whatever, they beat Detroit, huge win there,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: they beat them by double digits.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: They beat the Clippers.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: In kind of a letdown spot and I gave out
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: the Clippers in that game.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: That was a play that I had one that I
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: actually bet as well. And the Clippers up blew a
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: huge lead.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: In that game and San Antonio somehow won that game.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: Then San Antonio crushed Houston. Then they beat the Celtics
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: and pulled away at the end the game where Jalen
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: Brown got thrown out of the game for arguing really
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: he flopped to be honest, it was stupid for Jalen Brown.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: Then after that, San Antonio on Thursday, they lost in
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: a really competitive game against Denver. So, dude, they're on
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: this huge stretch of games and now they just lost
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: a win streak in a huge game against Denver, and
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: after playing that run of games, I think they're gonna
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: not have a whole lot of steam left in this game, man,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: So I think San Antonio.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Might have run out of it. Man.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: They do play a conference game next, at least against
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: the Clippers, who are at least hot right now. The Clippers, remember,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: the Clippers gave them a lot of problems in that game,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: So I think they might actually look ahead to the
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: Clippers a little bit because the Clippers really really gave
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: them issues in that game then, and they might take
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: them a lot more seriously after almost losing to them
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: on their home floor the next time. And that is
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: the start of a California trip for San Antonio as well,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: So you could make the argument's argument it's a sandwich spot.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: I think at the very least of pretty big hangover spot.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: They have less rest than Charlotte as well.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: We will take the Hornets.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: Uh Spurs. They're down to four and a half five now,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: there's not really that much of a difference between five
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: five and a half, so I would still grab it.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: Uh sixty two percent of tickets on the Spurs fifty
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: eight percent of the cash on the Hornets, So that
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: will be my play there in that one. Next game
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: up involves my Boston Celtics.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: Wait, Wemby, was he hurt? What are we talking about, dude?
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think. I didn't think he hadn't played
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: because I saw him on the on the stat sheet
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: in like all the games when I saw when I
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: was watching ESPN.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, he didn't play in their last game.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: I guess, well, all right, if he if he's coming back,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: then that makes this even better.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: To be honest, let.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: Me see, Yeah, you're right, so he didn't play, is
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: he If he's injured, then yeah, I like this even better.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, Hold on, because it becomes like
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: a reverse injured player spot. Let me look at the
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: San Antonio depth chart real quick. Thank you for letting
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: me know. She squealed.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: Shout out for that.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: He's game time decision. Let me say, ankle injury. You're
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: right he didn't play in the because I knew he
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: played against the Celtics. He didn't play in the last game.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: But that's good either way, right because in one situation,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: it means that it's gonna be his second game out.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: And you know what, I always say, the injured player
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: spot is a one game thing where the team steps
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: it up. And they played really well that first game
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: without him. Maybe that's what they did. They played well
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: still against Denver, you know what I mean, It was
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: a very close game, so then a lot of times
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: they have a little bit of a let down after that.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: But if he.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: Comes back, it'll be the reverse injured player spot, and
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: they'll think, hey, we're playing well without him. We could
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: take our foot off the gas a little bit with
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: our star player back, you know.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: So I like it either way.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: But given the spur, you know what, the line does
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: seem a little bit low, So maybe he's not playing
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: in this game. It's just, you know, it's hard to
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: gauge with the Hornets, you know what I mean. It's
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: hard to gauge like what the number should be when
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: it involves the Hornets, because they've been playing like a
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: really good team recently, way better than what their record
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: would indicate. So like we don't know how the market
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: should really price them.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: Guess if there's a chance that wem Be comes back,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: I guess you could wait on this and maybe see
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: if the line goes up a little bit.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: But we'll see.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: I'll, you know, I guess I'll try to time it
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: Washington at the Celtics. I'm gonna miss the beginning of
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: these games here and not get this show out in time.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: But that's all right, I guess, because you gotta watch
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: my show Live Man to get my opinions on the
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: early games.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Is the way it is Washington. Now, I gave you, guys.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: The last NBA player gave out was a win on
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: Washington on Thursday. Really nice game from Washington. They took
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Orlando into overtime. Now I think after that, yeah, I
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna have left. I mean, of
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: course they should show up for a game against the Celtics,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: because that is a big deal. But I don't know
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: what they're gonna have left after that effort against Orlando.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: Now flying up to Boston and it is.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: Getting a little bit colder up here, too, so you know,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: maybe not something that you know, a more southerly team
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: like Washington really wants to do.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: All I don't know how warm it is in Washington.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they still get excited for the Celtics.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe they run out of steam. The spot for the
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: Celtics is very bad as well, though. That's the problem.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: Celtics are turning over from a road trip. They were
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: almost gone for a week, and they had some huge
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: games that they played Cleveland, they won that game in
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: Tatum's return, and then they lost to San Antonio and
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: OKC in two close games. So the Celtics are coming
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: up that run of games. Yeah, they should win this game.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Celtics, don't lose this game. But
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: it's a bad It's really a bad spot for both teams.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: And I think it might even be worse for the
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: Celtics though. You know, return home spot a lot of
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: times you are distracted Phoenix, Golden State on deck. Obviously
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: those are better teams than WA Washington, so Celtics might
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: not have full focus here. It might be one of
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: those games where they just think, yeah, let's just get in,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: get out. Celtics are a twenty point favorite in this game.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: Celtics are priced like one of the top teams in
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: the NBA, man especially with tight them back, and they are,
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: and the Wizards are one of the worst seventy percent
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: of tickets, ninety three percent of the cash on the Celtics.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: Money looks like it's kind of coming in on the
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: Celtics for now. I would probably towards taking the points
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: with the Wizards, but there's no way I would actually
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: do it. Hopefully this dude, just as a Celtics fan.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they just win the game. Just get a win.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care how much you win by. Just get
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: it done. That's all I gotta say about it.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: Just win, baby.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: She squialed, where are you at all, right? Orlando at
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: Miami in the Battle of Florida. Here, I believe Orlando's
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: still without Wagner. We have no idea when he's coming back.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: Orlando on a nice five game win, six game win streak,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: excuse me, And there might be in a decent spot
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: because remember the reason I faded them against Washington because
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: they'd beaten Cleveland the game before that, and they had
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: Miami on decks, so I thought it was a sandwich
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: spot and they'd just beaten Washington or a little bit
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: or earlier. So now that came to fruition and they
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: almost lost to Washington. So I think Orlando's gonna bounce
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: back in a nice way here and give you a
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: much better effort this time after that bad game. Now,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: Miami didn't have the greatest game. They did beat Milwaukee,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: though I think they probably didn't cover in that game,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: but they are on a wind streak six wins in
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: a row. Both teams on wind streaks. The Florida win
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: streaks are colliding here. I think I prefer Orlando, though,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: coming off such a bad effort against Washington. That's very
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: explainable as well. The heat or three and a half
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 2: way favorite sixty to nine percent of the tickets and
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: cash on them.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: They're a little bit of a public side.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 2: It looks kind of easy to lay the three and
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: a half with the heat man, especially with the out
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: of bio hype.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: Still they are and whatever.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: I would probably take the points with Orlando and that one.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: You're in New York, all right, yes, Yale, Yale and Vermont. Yeah,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 2: so you're rooting for Vermont. I'm rooting for the tournament
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 2: to be as strong as possible. Though the Vermont game
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: I don't really give a shit. I mean, whoever wins
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: that game, is gonna be a sixteen seed, so I
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: don't care.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: But Yale.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: I want Yale to be in the tournament, man, because
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: if they don't win, it's gonna be a much, much
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: weaker tournament.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: I just I hate that that game's in Ithaca. All right.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: Then we got Denver and the Lakers on ABC.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: So, dude, I don't know why the ESPN game after
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: this is such a horrible game.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: This game is actually not bad.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: Denver, of course, is coming off a couple of really
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: really nice games where they crossed Houston, they played actually,
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: look at this run of games. They beat the Lakers
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: not that long ago at home, they got killed by
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: the Knicks, but the Knicks are good. Then they played
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City on the road really close, and they killed Houston.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: Then they beat San Antonio on the road. Now they're
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: coming off of all that, they're playing a fourth game
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: in six days, all in different cities. Here, having to
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: go out to LA. I don't think it's a good
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: spot for them, man, I really don't. And La having
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit of revenge perhaps in mind here now
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: La just they're staying at home. They just beat Clear,
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: beat Chicago. Excuse me, easy win there? Bad spot really,
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: because they were coming up beating the Knicks in Minnesota.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: They're on a nice wind streak here.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: They'll have revenge in mind, I don't think they'll be
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: looking ahead to Houston here. So I do like the
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: Lakers in this one. This one almost made the cut
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: for me. It's just the market read is all over
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets, and I can't explain why. Maybe it'll switch
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: around towards the night because I would only take the
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: points of the Lakers here. Nuggets are up to a
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: three point favorite, sixty seven percent of tickets on them,
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: excuse sixty seven percent of the cash excuse me, on
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets, but the tickets are on the Lakers, fifty
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: percent of the tickets on the Lakers, sixty percent of
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: the cash on the Nuggets, So the money is coming
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: in on the Nuggets there. I mean, the Nuggets do
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 2: tend to do well against the Lakers in recent history,
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: though they tend to have the Lakers numbers, so we
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: will see. But I would take the points of the
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: Lakers in that one. Don't know if their injuries to
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: be aware.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: Of in that game.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: Let me see, it looks like Gordon is a game
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: time decision again, and so is Murray for the Nuggets.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: Lakers don't really have anything on the injury report. I
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: think if those guys can go, they will go, though,
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: and then the ESPN game is terrible Sacramento at the Clippers.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: Sacramento just played okay against Charlotte. They've been giving you effort, though.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 2: You gotta hand them that, winning two games before playing
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: against Charlotte and playing pretty well. So you're getting effort
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: out of Sacramento at least. Now they have a couple
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: of days off, they're going down to La. Maybe you
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: will get an effort out of them again. Here are
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: the Clippers are on a nice run. They've won four
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: games in a row. They do have a huge game
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 2: on deck against San Antonio, though, so I think they
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: might overlook Sacramento here. That's also revenge because you remember
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: they should have been san Antonio excuse me, in that
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: other game and failed to do it. Even though this
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: is a home ESPN game, I don't see it. I
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: would have to lean to the Kings here, as bad
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: as that sounds.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: With nobody in their lineup.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 2: Clippers are up to thirteen and a half here, seventy
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: percent of tickets on them sixty eight percent of the
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: cash coming in on the Kings, So the money is
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: coming in on the Kings there.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: I would lean that way as well. That's gonna do it. Man.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: The place they are Tulsa money line, which I think
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: is the later afternoon. And then we got that's in
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: college basketball. And then Charlotte not in college basketball. Not
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: Charlotte in college basketball, Charlotte Hornets plus the points there.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: Don't confuse them with the Charlotte forty nine ers.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Man. So again, Tulsa college basketball, Charlotte Hornet's in NBA.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: That's gonna do it.
