  Speaker 1: host Marshall. First and foremost, Marshall, how are you doing
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: on this fine Monday afternoon. We're coming off a very
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: interesting basketball week. We got one coming up, and I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: gotta admit I was shocked speaking of basketball anyway, different
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: different level, but I was shocked when I heard Luca
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: got traded.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, I think the news of the Dallas Cowboys staff
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: hiring has been garbage. And then I'm sure to a
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: mask man, this is garbage, like aside from kind of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: like the logistics that we spoke of about the trade
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and how there could be pros and cons. If you're
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: just a regular MAVs fan or like a teenager kid
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: like dude, you gotta hate the world. Like I I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: see why you may want to trade him, and maybe not.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: But if I was, like I was telling a friend,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I was like, if I was a MAVs season ticket holder,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, dude, I'm out. Like, even though it
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: maybe was the right call for the this front office
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to make, like, it's still hard to spin that to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: millions of people or thousands who love that guy and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: see him show out. And how often you ever trade
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a superstar that's like a generational talent. So uh, hey, yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I got nothing, man, that was a crazy trade. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: saw that at night. I knew I wasn't drunk, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I was like, that doesn't I'm gonna wake up in
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the morning and check again. And I didn't. It was
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: still true. So that was crazy. But on that same note, uh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: on the same weekend, I wish I would have been
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: more drunk, But I'm just gonna get it out of
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the way because I'm playing a man of integrity this
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: year and just be prideful.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I think since I think since fifth grade, I've only
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: missed Carol and Duke games twice my whole life. One
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: was for a date in like seventh grade. The other time,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I think I had to work and I could pull
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: off straights to get the workoff. So for the past
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: roughly thirty years, I've never missed Carolina Duke. Caroline's be
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: my team my whole life. That's my sport, pride and joy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: To see your pride and enjoy be down forty to
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: fifteen to a team who obviously you've always justiked. Dude,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that was just a bad game. Uh. The the Hubert
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Davis uh momentum to get fired wasn't helped by this one.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: We were massively outplayed.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Were talking Carolina and Duke. By the way, he hasn't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: said that part, but yeah, I mean.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Is Cooper flag good? Yes? Is he gonna be the
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: next Lebron or Luca? I don't know.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: People love this kid a bit too much, but I'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: tell you that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I again, it's Carolina blood talking. That was
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: That's tough one. Just to get down twenty five points
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in the first half of Duke. Uh mind you we
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: swept him last year. It was. It was a tough game,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: but hey, shit happens. I've been at Carolina fan my
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: whole life. This one of the years that's a down year.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the coach will survive. We'll see
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Ease get a lot of heat and obviously when you
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: get smunk by rival, but there just wasn't quite the
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: same talent on the court. Normally, when Duke plays Carolina,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: you see a couple of guys who may be going
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: pro on both sides. This year, I don't see that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: as much of Carolinas. So Duke Carolina, you know, it
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: is rare, like this is a rivalry that's been had
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of good games over the past well, shit,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: past ten, twenty fifty, how many years you want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: go back. But this was a beatdown. So tip of
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the captain, Duke. Carolina will get to play them again
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: in a month. Hopefully they'll defend their home court better.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But that was one of the biggest beatdowns I've had
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to endure as the Carolina fan. And you know, shit happens.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Your team's not always gonna be great. But man, that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: was an ass kicking that Duke put on Carolinas. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that sucked, but it is what is Again, Carolina's got
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: They're not even making a tournament right now, so they
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: got to figure their life out and get back together.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I normally start off college football shows the rants, so
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: today I had to start off the college basketball shower
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: rant because again, normally we played pretty well. Those games
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: were fun. It's hard to break down a game when
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: your team was down forty to fifteen. So hey, Carol,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you got a month to figure your life out because
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you're probably gonna miss tournament. If you miss a tournament,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: your coach is probably gonna be at a different position
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: next year.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That's a nice way to put that. Last four out
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of the last five games, they trailed at half by
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: twenty two points. I mean, that is yeah, freaking crazy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And on the flip side, Duke fifteen straight wins for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the first time since twenty twelve twenty thirteen season, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I think a flag. We'll call them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Coops over there.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Third Duke player I remember seeing this on the bottom line,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: only the third Duke player to have twenty point seven
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: boards and seven assists in the last forty years against
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the rival. So you know, yeah, it's not necessarily that great,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: but you know, who knows, right, It's a long season.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know, things happen, you know, just trying to trying
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to stay positive, you know what I mean? You just
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: gotta stay positive. But you're right, though, it ain't looking
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: good right now. No, it's looking kind of funky.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That's for damn.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Sure, just to go you know, like if we go
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: back to that Monday ZNA and Iowa staying they were
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: down sixteen or I think they closed on a sixteen.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Oer run Caleb love.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: To ot, just to just drain this long, long ass
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: freaking I couldn't believe it. I mean, it was ridiculous, dude,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and Iowa State, you know, and they literally we're off
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to their best twenty games start in school history. But
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Sona on the loan now you know, it's starting to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: mount some steam and they got ranked and all that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Obviously we'll see if they can keep it up. But
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they are really getting their stuff together, that's for sure.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: So that was not fall for that trap though, Chris.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: For the past three years, I've told you every man,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the ZOA teams look good man, they look.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Good man, they look good.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: The talent and every year I tell you, hey, they're
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: going Final four, and I get it to look like
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a fool like again. Now they have the talents again.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But I will not save this year because hey, that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: coach has to prove himself. They have talent every year,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: that's not debatable. They're good again this year, but come
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: March madness time. In the past handful of years, with
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: all the talent they have and offensive talent they have,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: do they make a deep run and they're yet to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: do it again. This is a fun team. When they
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: beat Iowa State that day, they became eight and one
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: in conference. He had a nice win versus third right
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: team in the country. But again, you gotta do it
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: in March if you want the true like credentials, you know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. That is true. Maybe would you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: say the last three years or two years?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Well, for the past handful of years, I really thought
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that they've had a great offense, but they've not made
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a deep run in March to I think what would
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: be to this The way they played in the regular season, right,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: does get matched in their postseason March is maybe the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: best way to put it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a good way to put it. Kentucky
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: went on the road. Now I guess they were too
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a little too happy on Tuesday night. We'll get into
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that later, but they did get a big, big win
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: on the road in Knoxville, seventy eight to seventy three.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Kansas just barely got by Central Florida. Florida needed ninety
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: one points to get that done. There have been in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: trouble obviously of late, so that you know that that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: On that Wednesday, Bama got a nice win on the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: road at Mississippi State. We know how college basketball is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: so difficult to you know, to win on the road.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Just asked.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin that same night lost to Maryland, Texas. They're not
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that bad of a club. They almost beat Old Miss
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: which Old Miss Man. When it comes to, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: playing non ranked teams, you might as well just give
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: them the win. But when it comes to ranked teams,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: they definitely have you know, their work shutout for them,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. Speaking of the same type of thing,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I was saying, Oregon, who's definitely been overrated, who's on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a slide now? I think the Gophers started it. So
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there you go Oregon at Ukula seventy eight to fifty two.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And then Illinois is a pretty good team. They losing
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on to Nebraska in overtime. That was last Thursday Friday,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: per doing Indiana. It was eighty one to seventy six.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That was a close, close game pretty much the whole time.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: That was a good game.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I watched that a chunk of it that night, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: then I woke up and watched the rest of it
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: not knowing the score or anything. So that those are
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: some of the games that really stood out to me
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: during the week before we even get into more of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that crazy Saturday. Like I said, eleven teams go down
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: in the top twenty five.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah again Oregon, Like I've been seeing them, like they've
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: been nice ranked this year, but then you lose the
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Minnesota of a few weeks ago, and you lose to UCLA.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: So Oregon is one of those teams where when you
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: fill out your bracket, they're almost a guarantee. It does
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: seem like to make the Sweet sixteen. I know that
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: they're not. Wherever they are, they always seem to be
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: a really good opening weekend team, So maybe they've been
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: just in a bit of a funk lately. One team
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think we mentioned him last week, but we
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: will mention them today right now, and that is Penny
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Hardaway and his boys in Memphis. I know for the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: last couple of years they've may have been a little overhyped,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: but he's got a really, really veteran team, and I
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: say that with college out because obviously years can range.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: But they got a lot of good transfers in and
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they're playing pretty good ball. I think he's maybe got
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: a lineup together that fits well for him. He's another
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: guy like Arizona who brings in a lot of talent.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: But whether they've been getting in trouble for recruiting or
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: having coaches leave or et cetera, et cetera, maybe this
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: is one of the best Memphis teams they've they've had
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: of late. They've they've always been able to I think
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: match talent with a lot of higher end teams with them.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: But I think they might have an actual complete basketball
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: team this year. So Memphis might be a team to
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: look out for as year goes on, because they did
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: transfer in a couple of guards to our elite and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: they have a couple of good bigs. So maybe this
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: is the year where Memphis is not just type but
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: also a really good squad. They had a nice win
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: against Tulane, who is one of the better competitions in
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the American.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I know there's not many other teams in the Americans.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: To discuss That's why I really haven't talked about Memphis,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: but if you watch them play, that team is loaded
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: with talent this year. So maybe this is the year
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: where Penny breaks through a little bit more forward. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you know, like you said, Perdue Friday, like I think
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: people maybe thought after they played for the title last year,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: they've had disappear a little bit with Edie leaving, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: they've had a really nice year. Chris, you're seventeen to
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: five in the Big Ten. You're nine to two after
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you did who's obviously a huge interstate rival. Hats off
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to them because a lot of times in college basketball, uh,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: you know, when you do make a deep run like
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: they've been doing last handful of years, he lose a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: couple of guys, it's okay to kind of take a
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: year back. But they're they've they've actually had a really
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: nice year, and that's a credit to them because it
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: is difficult to replace people, even with a new nil
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: and transfer port a lot of stuff. It's hard to
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: be consistently right to the top up echelon, and Produe
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: has been doing that this whole year too. So obviously
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: those last handful of years obviously weren't a fluke, but
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: maybe the incent taking a year off again, they decided
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: to keep it going, so credit to them. Obviously. The
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Big Ten is not just Purdue this year, but a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: lot of teams with it. But yeah, hey, that was
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a great weekday of work. But Saturday, like you said, man,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: obviously I already I already tipped the cap with Carolina
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and Duke, which was not fun for me. But the
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: rest of the Saturday, Chris, was a very very entertaining Saturday.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So Kansas has been struggling obviously right led by twenty
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one points at half, and they ended up giving it up. Man,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the largest blown in school history at home. Actually, that
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: might just be in general if I think about it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Baylor. So it was it was.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Forty forty to twenty one actually at half, and then
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Baylor just figure, you know what, let's go on to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: sixty to thirty run, so as well might as well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you know, well, why even you know, why even mess
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: around with this, We might as well just get.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Right to it. That was That was crazy, dude. That
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: was crazy.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And then so that was you know, a long like
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the streaks that I'm gonna go over some of these streaks,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: but I want to, so I'll let you give your
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: take on that here in a second. But Texas Tech
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: now eight and two in conference play, best since you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: joining the Big Twelve. They snapped Houston's thirty three game
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: home winning streak and they had been on what was
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it because remember last year they had won the last chunk.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I think it was like.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Tied for second or third most was it eighteen or
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: twenty one? I don't know the higher teams or more. Yes,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was like eighteen or something like. It
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: was crazy. I couldn't believe that that's that's how that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: went down. But yeah, man, I mean, Kansas is struggling.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to get beat, but when
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you get beat like that, you're up huge and you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: end up getting just handled. That one kind of that
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: one shook my core. I couldn't believe that that's that's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: how it went down.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And Taylor.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Had some dudes and fall problems and stuff too. It
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't even necessarily their best game or whatever.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: But the second half.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Man, I've seen this Baylor team play a couple of
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: games this year now, and as usual, they have a
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: lot of like super athletic guards. I'm sure a couple
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: would go pro. That's kind of how their program rolls.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: They can shoot the three ball really well. So the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: talent is there as usual, and they do have I believe,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: like twenty assistant coaches when when I went to my
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: march Man's Turn the last year, we counted, and I
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: think this year they've added a few, Like they have
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the most coaches on staff in the whole country. Nope,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: just for a fun fact for the podcast, but they
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: got the talent. Now. Obviously Baylor's been pretty decent a
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: handful of years ago. They're obviously really good to cut
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the nets down and maybe this is a bit of
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: a step back, but they've been a good program, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: obviously they've probably view KU's arrival for sure. But if
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: your KU like, dude, yeah, had you blew a six
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: point lead to Houston with eighteen seconds to go, you
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: lost your season opener to my West Virginia adopted Boys
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: as like a thirteen and a half point favorite. You know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: the ranking I think for them might be maybe fooling
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: people a little bit because this is a regular KU
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: team and you had Mayo and Dickinson kind of join
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the squad. You're supposed to be kind of a pretty
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: upper echelants team. I know that that matchup with the
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: duke they had earlier this year, Chris, I believe it
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: was like two verse four. I believe they're both pretty
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: highly ranked. So again, like Carolina, can you be good
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: every year? No, and hell, Kayu has been about as
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: consistently good as anyone in the country. But this is
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: definitely a year where they've not geled yet because the
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: team that is jail doesn't blow the leads like they've
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: blown for the past half of years or sorry for
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: the past half of weeks. So now could they make
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a d run? For sure? The talent is there, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: it's not gelling right now. It is weird to see
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: a KU team lose like they've been doing because for
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: the past decade and a half, for sure, they've pretty
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: much always been a threat to win the Big Twelve.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: This year, it's not the case. They're definitely probably out
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: of the running. I wouldn't say one hundred percent, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: they're probably not gonna win the Big Twelve this year.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: They're still obviously gonna make a tournament, but it is
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: just weird to see them have some just slo monumental
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: runs and slides and games where you're not used to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: seeing rock chock do that. The other game that really
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: did blow in my mind that I bet against the
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: lost was I wagered on Kentucky. This is a team
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: who if you watch them play as well, they're four
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and foreign conference, but damn it, you feel like when
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: they have the ball on offense, anyone on the team
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: can score. But that doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: a good team. I did bet them versus Vandy, and
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: they had a point guard who kind of choked it
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: away at the end, and then you obviously lost to Arkansas,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: where I'm sure Arkansas was motivated coach Cal coming back
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: to his home. I'm sure that the Ed Cooley chance
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: you heard from Providence fans when he came into the
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Georgetown were probably even more a bit more aggressive from
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the Kentucky fans coach Cal. But as a Kentucky fan,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you can talk all the shit you want. But Arkansas
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: went there won and this is an Arkansas team that
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: was one and six. So this Kentuck team has the talent.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: If you look at the players on the court, you
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: see there's guys are probably NBA talent potential, I would say,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: and you got the coach from BYU, so all the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: pieces are there, but you're fore and foreign conference. So
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: another team who liked Kansas is ranked highly, but you
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: look at their conference record, Chris, You're like, huh, like
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you got the pieces, but why does your record in
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: conference not represent maybe how good a team you should be.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a really good point.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the thing about I don't know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's the thing about this season, Like if
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: we're at the half way mark basically in the conference,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and it's like you really need to put the pedal
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: down to it, uh to to to finish off and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have a chance really.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Not even just to win it, but just to get
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: a good seeding and whatnot.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, one scene, that's man, it feels like Auburn
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and Duke right now have kind of separated himself a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: little bit. Sure, Auburn thirteenth straight wins, it's the second
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: longest streaking in D one. Now that you know, we
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we uh we lost some of those streaks this weekend.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I think that that broomy broom or broom broom. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think he got his like thirteenth or fourteenth double
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: double this season. But old Miss we talked about it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: One of five versus ranked teams. Now they had to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: phase six.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: But they're fifteen and one versus unranked, so yeah, they
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get that stuff figured out.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's shocker, right, Kansas State and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Iowa State. Right, I saw it on the bottom line again,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: program's largest win Kansas State versus a top five opponents
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty one.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Dude, I mean that talk about going back.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to lose the game, which
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the Cyclones won there it is twenty nine straight game,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: so a thirty three and a twenty nine at home
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Houston in Iowa State got snapped.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've lost. Yeah, that crazy. They lost three
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: out of last five Iowa State after getting off to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: that great start.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But I mean, that was a tremendous win for Kansas State, man.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, and the way you did it too, you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: just whooped them, Like, that's what kind of shocks me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Bama hit ninety points again, they're eleven time this season.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: You know, that was another solid win that Sears has
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the sixty third twenty point game, most a monthst active players.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Tennessee.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And this is another one too, Tennessee at Florida. Florida
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: definitely an upstart again, Hey, I'm not calling their program
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: an upstart program like they just joined the.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: The D one ranch or something.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, they've been okay, pretty decent, but they
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: haven't been a top tier team per se. But I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe this one. I mean, sixty four to forty
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: four like that that threw me off Tennessee versus a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: top five opponent, which Florida was fifth largest win in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: program history. That's what kind of weekend we're talking about here.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Every time I say, hey, you know this is another record. Oh,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, another school record. Yukon kind of looked
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like Yukon against Marquette. You know, they definitely are like, hey,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: don't forget us, remember us.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: They're not going out easy man this year. And I
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: know they're maybe not as good, Chris, but if you're
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: gonna beat that team in the tournament, it's gonna take
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: your best damn effort.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: That's for sure.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: That is for sure, And they're only going to get
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: better now.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: As the season goes by.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: We talked about messiou a little bit. They gotta win
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: over a big win eighty eight to sixty one over
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State was fourteenth at the time. Now they moved
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to four and one against AP ranked opponents, So that
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: was obviously a nice win.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: You know, just to add on to that one, brother.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: And I think that was a hangover effect because earlier
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: in the week as I as, I call him Daku
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: because I'm a cow West guy, you know, sadly still
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: because Dak Prescott went that. But Dak, you hey, they
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: were playing Bama and they were totally told with Bama
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: that whole game and was twenty seconds to go the
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State center had a wide open, well not a
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: wide open, but a contested dunk that should have been made,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: and they lose a game. So you're Mississippi State. You go,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: you fight with Bama, you should have made a dunk,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: you lose a heartbreaker. Just like in college football. The
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Haglo effect happened in the college basketball too. Of hey,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: huge drivery game, Damn we blued against Bama. That can
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: linger on you, just like a big win. And I
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: think that was kind of like a God, Damn, we
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: just lost to Alabama game we could have won, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: then he kind of just come out a little bit
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: flat and Missoo, to their credit, whooped him. But I
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: think that was kind of just like a oh shucks,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: we blew this game and then you come out flat again.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: But credit to Miszoo for taking care of business. First
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: team that was flat or hunger. Either way, a road
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: win and the SEC is still a conviencing win.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good call Saint John's. With like a few seconds left,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Richmond hit a nice bucket to go up sixty eight
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to sixty six. He had a good all around game
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and Saint John's, man, they got a tough week coming up.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a short little bit. Another
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: ten game winning streak from Louisville gone. Georgia Tech beat
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: him seventy seven to seventy. So I mean, like I said,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: this week was just crazy. Oklahoma, so Vandy just popped
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in like, hey, we beat some rank we beat a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: ranked team. We're in the top twenty five. Oh yeah,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma said we're gonna beat you by thirty ninety seven
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: to sixty seven. Once again, this is on the bottom line,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: largest win over ranked opponent in program history. Like, dude,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: this is this week. It is even I keep going,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: don't do these stats, and I'm like, holy shit, like
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: this is even better than I thought. Like, it's just uh,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: just an amazing weekend. And then basketball fans got shocked
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: late late night, you know, from the trade with Luca
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and all that, in the trade san Antonio made.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: We were talking about that before we hit record. But
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: we also had.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: New Mexico grinding it out at Utah State. They got
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a nice win that they got a couple of really
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: legit players. Obviously that Dentu steals the headlines a lot,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: but they they they're they got a nice win man
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: because Utah State was right with them. And also, uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga and Saint Mary's played late night and that was
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a very competitive game in Saint Mary's. Once again, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: think it's two out of last three or three out
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: last four. I think it's three out last four.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: They beat him.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: So, you know, I remember saying it last year, if
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this is ever gonna be a year to finally beaton
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Zaga in this conference, this is gonna be the year.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Well last year, you know, Gonzaga credited.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Then they made a nice run back and got the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: co But this has gotta be the year for Saint
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Mary's there in the West Coast Conference.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been on top for long enough. And hey,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: to Saint Mary's credit, they're pretty much a tournament team
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: every year. He only wins a first round game every
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: year too. But I'm sure they would love to celebrate
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: a conference championship and cut down the nets by themselves.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: That'd probably be a pretty good accomplishment for that squad
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: You know, with all the conference realignment and everything like
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that and how some robberies need to be rescheduled and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: all that, especially in conference or in college football, the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Arizona Arizona State Reverie is still good to go. I mean,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: these dudes, there are seven technicals, two ejections. Bobby Hurley
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: took his squad off the floor. He was mad, and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: he was mad at Love too. He said, hey, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: got a vote, and guess he's not getting goe to vote.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Caleb Love though, said okay, you don't have to. How
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: about I put five threes on your head and seven assists.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I got twenty seven points. He looks like he's back,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: so that so we don't have to worry about that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Rivalry.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Then that that seems to be that seems to be
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: good to go. I mean, I don't see the problem there.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And then another one, Michigan State thirteen in a row.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You know, they lost it to USC, So I mean,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: talk about streaks going on. This was this was not
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the tip. And by the way, Georgia chack like I
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: said that Louisville isn't it's Statamayer, right, David Stottamayer, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so he's getting He's turning that, turning them, turning them
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: around a little bit. I always like Stodamer speaking to Arizona.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Realize that I did that. I didn't mean to do that,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: but yeah, man, it was a just a hell of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a weekend. I couldn't believe it. Here's another stat with
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that Kansas State Iowa State. This is from ESPN. Kansas
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: State became the first below five hundred team in APE
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: history ap POL history to win by fifteen points on
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the road against the top five AP opponent. I mean,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: what in the hell happened this week?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And my friend, Okay, so I'm gonna pat myself on
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the back a little bit. I have watched this k
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: State team play. I like them a lot. They're probably
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: gonna make attorney. But if you look at them, they
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: have some tall, tall dudes that can play basketball really well. Obviously,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: their win loss records not that good. They started off
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: pretty poor, but they've won three in a row.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: They haven't played football, but if.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: You just watch them on a regular night, they got
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the boys to do it. But obviously this start off
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty pretty poor. So I am I surprised maybe
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Iowa State by the square they did, yes, because really
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: no one ever wins in in Hilton Magic. But they're
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: they got a squad, so that's almost teams where if
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: you're looking to bet or might get some value. Again,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: this is just my opinion, but I've watched them play
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and I think they're better than the record shows. Now
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't make
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: a tournament, but Case State's got some hoopers, and I
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: did when I was watching that Case State always say game.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: They did mention that Iowa State's down a player who's
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: really been affecting their offense, and they're not quite the same.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: But if you're a top three team in the country,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: like you still got to find a way to defend
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: your home court. I'm not saying that's not a legit excuse,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: because as we've seen over the years, if you're missing
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: a star player that can really affect your offense, but
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: can't affect you to where you lose a game like
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you never lost four, it probably not so uh. That's
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: why I think it leads to which we'll get to eventually.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: But that that that's really what does make the case
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Iowa State KU game playing triggering because both teams are
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: kind of in a nozie. Like we've talked about Iowa
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: State and Kansas both on the show so far day
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: and both been struggling a bit. So tonight's game and
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: then ninety minutes is gonna be interesting because both teams
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: are in a bit of a funk. But before we
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: do get there, we do have our regular conference whip around.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I'll start with my favorite conference. I'll throw it to
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Chris after the Big East. They got three teams ranked
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: down on the Big East. I think last week it
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: was too so a little bit of progress Saint John's. Hey,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: they can't shoot the three that well, but they're good.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: They're nineteen to three, they play really good defense. They
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: have last that many games this year they've only played
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: one ranked team, so you maybe can say they're frauds, like, okay,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: you've only played one right teams shready lost, but if
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: you if you've won nineteen games, you're probably not too fraudulent.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: They're in first place ten to one, Marquette nine and two,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Create to nine and two. Crateson had a bank in
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: three at the top of the backboard to beat Villanova
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: on Saturday, which was a fun win. I'll never chere
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: for Nova after that buzzer beater versus Carolina cost him
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: the title. And even though they've been a bit sluggish
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: this year, you kind of eight and three at fourth
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: place shown there. You know they're gonna make a tournament.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: After that. It really knows dives down Georgetown. I've always
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: liked to had Cooley as five and six, as Avier
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: five and six, Villanova five and six, Providence five and six.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Now is there a chance, well, those four teams of
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: five and six to make the conference could make March
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: matters for sure. But you gotta kind of get on
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: a heater, Chris, because if your win loss record in
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: conference is under five hundred, odds are very slim and
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: you're all those teams have under five hundred records versus
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: ranked teams, but it is kind of rare to see
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: only the biggest having four teams in intention for the
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: tournament out Normally it's been normally six this time of
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: the year. So maybe the conference overall is a bit
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: down this year, but I do think the top four
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: teams compare to the last five six years, is stronger,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: So a lighter overall conference. But you're more top heavy
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: this year. Hey, Saint John's and Patino man, he's got
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: himself a squad this year.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and maybe we shouldn't call him frauds just yet,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: but you know, based off like you said, only playing
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: one ranked team and losing, I wouldn't call them frauds
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: on just yet. But hey, they're gonna winning games are
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: supposed to You're right, right, But they're gonna get there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: They're gonna get their shot, that's for sure.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: This week.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Uh So, you know, they gotta play Marquette in Yukon.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: And now, like we said, Yukon, it's eight and three.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: They're getting their stuff together and uh so, yeah, I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: mean they haven't lost to a ranked team, so we'll
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: see if they actually do. And let's let's keep an
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: eye on. Note that that was a four teams at
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: five and six, because yeah, I agree, one of those
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: teams can really come out of there. And if it
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: is Georgetown, that would I wouldn't doubt if it's Savior,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but if it's Georgetown, that would be a huge step,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: you know, because they've lost three games against their ranked opponents,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: so they can get one or two of them here.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Uh and the next little bit that would be that
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: would be something big. I mean that, you know, I
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: think it is.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: And then you know, maybe Creighton on the low, when
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: there isn't a bunch of pressure, you know, maybe it
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: is perfect for him. You know, they can just kind
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of sneak up and be like, hey, we're gonna go
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: further than the other team. You never know, you know
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes that that can play into it because they've been
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: they've been ranked fairly high, you know, these last chunk
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of years and look like quote unquote a team that
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: could make a big run. And not to say that
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they haven't advanced or anything like that, but like, yeah,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe maybe this will be the year where
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: they just kind of sneak in on the on the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: on the low, just one ranked team in the ACC. Geez,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and I won't even say who it is, but that
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: team has won fifteen in a row. Okay, Louisville finally lost.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think they'll get there. You know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: they'll get it together here and and probably get right
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: back on a nice streak. What's interesting here is on Saturday,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's Saturday.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's Sunday. I think it's Saturday.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: They eight, Clemson and Duke play. So if you're looking
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: for yeah, if you want to get ranked, Clemson, shit,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: you may get ranked even if you go to overtime
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: with them or something. You know, who knows true, But yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: they they the only ranked team they face. They won,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: so they've won six in a row, so you know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: maybe just maybe they can get it done. But Wake
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: is kind of crapy. I haven't seen much of SMU
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: this year. But wait, man, they've they've had like tough games.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I think they have like five or four, but that's
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: what it is, five ap four where they haven't one
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: of those games. But they've had a lot of tough games.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: So maybe they'll turn the corner. But you know, I
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: always say the last few years, let's let's just wait
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: and see what the ACC come March in April, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: who knows. You know, like I said, it does appear
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: that Auburn and Duke have separated himself. But Auburn, you know,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: just has a has the ongoing competition. Maybe that beats
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you up after a while and wears you down mentally
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and physically and maybe be in the a C season
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: not as you know, stressful or whatever. But you know
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: that's something to keep an eye on, because Duke just
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: won't have a chance to like, they better not go
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: on a two game, three game losing street because it's
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: gonna mess up their stuff because there's just not many
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: ranked teams in the ACC.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Very true. Yeah, and it's just like I said, last
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: week's got just upside down. Uh. For the past roughly decade,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: you could bet that Virginia is gonna be top five,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Carolina should be top five, Florida State should be top seven,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: and then you kind of have a hodgepodge of Pittsburgh
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: and votech and normally a Notre Dame in Syracuse. But
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: that's right out the case. Clemson's been solid, Lois Louisville's
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: playing with houses money. SMU kind of just walked in
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: the door, and they've been up to get sort of
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: wake force. Doing better than usual in hell Stanfords above
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: all the schools I just mentioned. So, uh, it is
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: kind of an upside down conference. But those schools that
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I mentioned are having it down here.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: But there are a lot of them are having down here.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: But you gotta, you really gotta get your shit figured
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: out because hell Carolina right now is on the bubble
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: and they're six and five. So Pittsburgh, VA Tech, Notre Dame,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Florida State, Syracuse. You're really you're sitting at four and
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: seven or five and six, and in a week conference,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to get on a hell of a run.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna have to get on the bubble, you know.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the last next couple.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Of weekends are like this last Saturday or something.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: You know, for a lot of yeah, yeah, and hats off.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I did see the news that Leonard Hamilton's gonna retire.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: That dude's been there in Florida State for guy knows
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: how long. The dude I think he's seventy four. The
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: dude looks like he's fifty six.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely doesn't look like he's.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Had a hell of a run. I hope they make
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: it to the tournament and they can get hot because
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: that dude's had a for all, you know, a really
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: good program, well run. Uh he's never won a title,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: but he's had a handful of great, great teams. So
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: maybe Florida State can sneak in one more tournament for
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: the guy because he's had quite a run. So and
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: hats off to him not quitting like you know that
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Learnegus for who else what whatever, But he says its
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: gonna be his last year, So hopefully Florida State finishes
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: on a good note. Yeah the acc is man, that's
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, just goofy. You'd only I know, last handful
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: of yours, Chris. There's not been that many eight teams,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: but even to see a lot of powerhouses who've only
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: heard that conference being down this year and it's kind
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: of a strange here.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: They might have to put the a CEC in the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Big East together. I mean, is that would you not
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: like the Big East in or would you still like it?
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: That's a that's a loaded question, that's right answer.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: That's a fair that's a fair answer because.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Carolina promidence, dude, that that that's pop Cornell. I'll watching
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: that game all day.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing is that basically was the damn conference
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: almost at one time.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: But we won't get into that. We won't get into
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: that the past. We're talking about the future.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: We won't get into those Friday and Saturday night semifinals
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: and finals.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: In the in the conference finals.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Big East, Big Twelve as before the SEC showed up
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: this year. Know that the ACC has been gaining steam
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: by the last few years, that's for sure. We've been
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: documented that. But right now, the Big Twelve, you know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: it is still there. I mean, it's still right there.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: You got to take it from them, you know, Houston Arizona.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: We'll go over some of the other rankings and stuff,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: keep your takes on it. But Houston, you know, they
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: got so they finally lost. No big deal, that's their
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: first conference lost, little long ass time, so no big deal.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: They got Oklahoma State.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: In at Colorado, so they shouldn't be good to go,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and then they got Baylor at home and at Arizona.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Obviously we're not going to break.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Down those games too much, but you know, it's basically
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: just like keep your keep your position, and then you know,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: we got a challenging week gun up. Zona has now
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: won eleven out of their last twelve. And you know this,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Jeff Goodman, who I follow on Twitter, he's like, you know,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: they become less reliant on Caleb Love and they are
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: starting to get it all purpose, all around type thing.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that Carter Bryan the last few games freshman
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: think he's a true freshman.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's barely any.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Redshirts, so so that, you know, getting together fully as
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: a team instead of being so reliant. Of course you're
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: gonna rely on your point guard, but you know, it
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: can't be just a one man team, and it's not.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: They just got to play together. But I mean, this
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: thing's stacked once again. Man, we're right there. And hey,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: you know we said hey b Yu, Well hell look
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: out BYU six and four.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: They're right in the mix.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this conference is fun, man, This conference tournament always produces.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: It should be a great one a game this year.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Again tip of the captain Houston. They lost and credits
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: they lost a stud point guard that carried that team
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: for a handful of years. Excuse me, Yeah, and they're
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: still back up top and obviously Zona's playing great ball.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: As you said again, they got proven to march to me.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech, this is the best team I'd say they've
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: had since they made the Final four four or five
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: years ago. Iowa State, they're in a bit of a funk.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: They've lost two in a row. That K State loss
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: was a bit of a hub they lost, but they
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: get the chance to get their ship back on track.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Versus k tonight BYU again, you lost your head coach,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: you lost a little bit of talent. But they're again,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: they're having nice year. They're fifth right now, in arguably
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: the second best conference in the country. And Baylor, Hey,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: you're six and four, same record as Kansas. I know
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you're not ranked next, there's no ranking next to you,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: but you're doing your part. And k You, Hey you're
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: still six and four. You got a lot of great wins,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: but you've had some losses that just want to make
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: you pull your hair out. Three and four on the road, Yeah,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: they're they're not quite the same KU team as we're
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: used to see.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Does that bring like a TIERN to your eye or
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: are you okay with that?
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: No, I'll be just fine. As opposed to Texas Tech,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: who's five to zero on the road, which actually that's
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: pretty badass. Are the only team?
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Them in Houston, A teams undefeated in the road. And
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I will say, if you ever bet college basketball, the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: one way to bet truly is just bet on home teams,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: because if you bet on home teams almost eighty percent,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: So to be on the feet on the road, that
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: says a lot about your program. And I can't forget
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: about about my adopted boys because hey, they're five and five.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: They will be going to the tournament right now because
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: they have a lot of top notch wins. Uh. And
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: that's West Virginia, who my guy with, Jamon Small is
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: the point guard. He actually leads the conference in points
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: per game, and I believe he leads the nation of
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: points for game verus right teams. So West Virginia beat
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: up Cincinnati this past week out they're five and five.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: He'd say, why the hell are you five and five?
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: They beat the good team to lose the bad ones.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, four and two against the ranked teams.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So how are you four and two versus rate
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: teams with like three top ten wins? To get your
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: five and five in conference? That doesn't add up. So
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: when they play bad teams against they take games off,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: which is weird, but hey, the Big twelve is fun.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Like you said, there don't The only team I really
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: kind of want to see more of Chris is Texas
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Tech U For the past handful of years. They've taken
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: a bit of a step back since they made that
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: national title run. But again, I can't question them too
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: much because again, you're five to zero on the road,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: so clearly you got the you got the horses to
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: do it. But to me that's kind of the bigger
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: surprise because they've not been quite this highly ranked for
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: a while. So what are they doing in Lumbic that's
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: produced on such a good team for Arizona. Dude, they
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: they've been there every year, but you know they have
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: the talent and BYU, hey kind of hey, you're proven
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: that it wasn't just your coach and obviously have the
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: talent to hang around there. Again, I was the one
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: thing I'll say is I was fool is going for
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: them last year because I bet them in for the
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: first game of the tournament. They kind of got slacked. Yeah,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: but now they're not quite as hot as they were
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: last year. But as of right now, they're definitely in
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: the running to be a March Madness team, so that
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: hats off to them. U. Yeah, we'll see. I you know,
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: right now, over the time of the year where you
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: start to kind of really kind of get a feeling
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: for how the teams are. I think bys all those
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: teams were okay. Are y'all made through halfway through the conference?
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Like you said, Chris from out the midway point when
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: we do a podcast in two three weeks, will they
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: be still in the top five where they'd be, you know,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: near to the bottom half of the conference. We'll see,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: because I do think a team like Houston Zona, Iowa State,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: they're still gonna be top fifteen probably give or take.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: But can of a team like BYU and Baylor stay
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: up top where they kind of drift towards the bottom
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: to where you're on the bubble for your tournament.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good call.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: And you know they've won four in a row, one
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: two against you know, top twenty five teams, But there'll
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: be plenty of opportunity.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: In this conference to get that.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: And like you said, the Red Raiders Van Texas Tech
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: six in a row now, so they got to improve
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: you know, against ranked teams as well. I mean, Houston's
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: two and three, one and three.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: However you want to look at.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: It because you have two different polls, but you have
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Zona in like you were mentioned earlier, West Virginia, they
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: have the best records against ranked teams, you know, so
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting how you know, the two outsiders
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: in a sense, right are like, hey, we're here, so yeah,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: this is uh, this is always a great conference. Like
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I said, the SEC recently has really picked it up,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: and they're they're we're gonna have to see obviously matchups matter,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to see, you know who, how
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: many teams each side get the the SEC and the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Big twelve and then you know how they doing there
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: because that I wouldn't doubt if we get SEC against
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Big Twelve in the in the tournament, just because there'll
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: be so many teams for sure.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Both conferences.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Hopefully.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'd rather see that than two conference folks going head
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: to head. You know, obviously they can't plan everything out and.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: They try to avoid that though you're right, you're right.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Right, but you know, someone can get upset and then
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you're playing someone anyway. Uh, Michigan State, Finally, did you
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: know drop a game but they're still in the league.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: If the Big Ten were now there.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Michigan's keeping it going. Man. They're they've they're they're pretty
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: good this year. Man.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: They've had a challenge, somewhat challenging schedule, and they've done
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: really good. They're sitting in a pretty good spot in
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Maryland's like, hey, don't forget about us.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: They're doing really good.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Michigan the state every time they just beat
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the you know what out of my Gophers, and then
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: my Gophers, speaking of being.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Hungover, ended up losing to the team.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: At that time that didn't have They're still in the bottom,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: but they they they they literally are sitting down there
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: having lost a bunch in a row. So that that
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: sucked for my Gophers. But this Michigan State kid, hold them. Holman,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: he's from Minneapolis, and both times we faced him, he's like, hey, uh,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: take this one with you. So yeah, he's been he's
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: been hurting us a little bit. But I am impressed
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: with Purdue. I'm impressed with Michigan. I think Maryland's really solid,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and don't you know, Wisconsin, Illinois, these type of teams
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: does look like Oregon's definitely on the downside losing three
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: in a row Indiana, two out of the three were close.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: They haven't beat a ranked team either. That doesn't help
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: or his At least Oregon was beating some ranked teams.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: But Oukla Ucla five in a row, obviously their first
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: time in the Big Ten. In the last what five
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: six years, they've been a damn good program, So they're
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: four and one against ranked teams. You definitely want to
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on Ukula, good old UCLA Bruins.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think the committee might kind of
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: have a hard job this year. Not to tie this
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: into a college fotball podcast, but we're talking about Chris,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Like the ACC, the Big East, the Big Ten, a
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: lot of regular tournament teams are kind of having down years,
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: showing the middle of the conference, but there are spots
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: for bubble teams. So I do feel there's kind of
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: like a batch of like fifteen to twenty teams we've
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: already discussed today that could make a tournament run that
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: you're used to seeing. So the door is still open.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Like it is just weird to see a lot of
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: teams we've rambled off today that are not right now
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: ranked but should be so I'll be curious to see
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: how this next month plays out, but obviously February's time
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: to make your move. If we're doing a horse racing
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: chat here, I will say the biggest hype I've heard from,
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: like people in the ESPN social media is Maryland.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I think people think that team is really legit.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: They've won four in a row. They've won on the
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: road a couple of times. I know they're two and four,
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: but they're two wins on the road for decent wins.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: They got the guards, they got the biggs. I guess
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: this team is just kind of a more solid team
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: than we expected. H And to throw the hat in
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: the ring there for Michigan too, because for the past
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: few two I believe two years, Michigan really kind of
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: was shown them the bottom. They were kind of the
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: bottom theater. So they're back on track. So hats off
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: to them. And Izzo, dude, what he's he's He's good.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I know we have a lot of coaches that complaining
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: about NIL and the new deals and how college mass works. Again,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: he's adapted to it. He's got a hell of a team.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: They did lose to USC this past week, but maybe
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Izzo's gonna add another final four to his resume, which
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: were not surprised anyone. I guess the craziest part to.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Me, Hey, he stayed home too.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: He stayed there. He stayed there the whole time.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the crazy part to me is that you
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: have a team with Rutgers who might have two of
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: the top three or four players a week, but they're
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: four and seven, like oh yeah as Bailey and got
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: Harper and like those got the I know Harper's been
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: hurt a little bit, but damn like it is. It's
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: just kind of sad to see. I'm not a Rutgers fan,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: but you would want to see two guys who are
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: both probably lottery picks playing the tournament. But they're nowhere
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: near the turnam right now. They're they're far, far far
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: from it. So and I know I'm only allowed to
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: talk about the batterers, think twenty seconds to the show,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I get cut off or muted or he'll leave the podcast.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: But uh podcast that they're they're actually have an offense.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: They shoot the three ball pretty well, the Saint the
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: regular Badgers run thirty seconds off the clock, make the lamp.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: They actually have a couple of hoopers so I watched
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: them play Northwestern, and I've been impressed. They have actually
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: have but guards against score. So I've hit my quarter there.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: I'll stop and hey and like you said, LA, come
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: tournament time, dude. I know. I said. Oregon's almost a
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: guaranteed Sweet sixteen team UCLA for the past five six years.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: If you want a team to make pass opening weekend,
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Ucla for the they're they're They're almost a shoeing to
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: make almost the Elite eight. They seem to push people
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: around once they make it to the march Man's Tournament,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: So I would not be willing to bet against him
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: a month from now.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: My friend, I haven't been back.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: To Madison, Wisconsin since I got arrested there at nineteen
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Knum skidding.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't for any kind of violent crime. Okay,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: it was fun trouble and I got off on it too,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: because you know, we won't talk about that anyway. No,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: I've always respected them from AFAR in basketball in football too.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably enough, all right, sec. I heard
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: it was pretty decent conference. You're not bad. You look
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: at Auburn. I mean, there's plenty of teams to talk about.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: But the top two right now, eighth and eight and one.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: You have Auburn and Bama. I mean they both have
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: played nine ranked teams.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: For Jesus Lord, you.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Could be six and three and be just fine, you know,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: but no, Auburn said noe, we're eight and one and
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: and and Bama said seven and two and Bama has
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: what eleven ninety point games?
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Like this? This shit's crazy, dude, this ship is crazy.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, ed hell, Auburn five to one on the road,
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Bama sixth and one on the road and half your
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: damn conference is right? Do you win on the road?
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Like what what more of a gut checked tests you
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: got to pass them?
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: That? It's it's really crazy. And then the amount of
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: just those Q wins, like it just just nuts. I
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: think I have like twelve quad ones. Now they broke
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: the SEC record. They gets six or seven wins. Well
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: that was the AP one. Hen they have a program
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: record for wins you know when it comes to AP
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: top twenty five.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: But don't look now.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: But missou okay, they they've won I think six out
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: last seven. They won at Florida, they won at Mississippi State,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: and they beat Old Miss who can't beat ranked teams.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: But don't look. Now Missou's here, Missou's. Missou is legit
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Man, I've always liked Missouri after my best friend went there.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: My cost probably targety saying that I can't say that
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: football coach, I have nothing. It's a basketball coach though. Hey,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: uh credit, they're playing good basketball this year, because mind you,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: last year they didn't win an FM game in the conference.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: They went over last year. Their last win last year
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: I believe was like December twenty twentieth or something versus like,
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: I remember they beat the Gophers, like on the seventh
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: of Like you just had to say that, well that
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: I bet that game they were down eighteen points to
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: get back to beat the Gophers.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that last the year.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: They did not win a SALE conference game last year,
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: And now your rked fifteenth souly brought some talent in
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: the actually had a Badger player transfer over showed over
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: my quota. Whoops. So hey, they're playing goodball. I love
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: my guy Wade Taylor at A and M. He's special.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: I got to see him play, actually he was. He
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: was in Memphis, so I went on my trip last year.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: So that was a lot of fun. Uh, Texas A
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: and M's having a good year. They're ain't tenth. They
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: actually did blow a twenty twenty two point league to
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Texas we go, but hey, they're still hanging in there. Florida,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: I feel they've been raised in the top ten about
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: the past month. In Tennessee, they're gonna hold you to
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: fifty points and try to score fifty two. So shit
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: that dude, I don't know. This conference is loaded. Meanwhile, Vandy,
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: they pissed people off from football this year. Now they're
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: chilling in chowing their basketball here. They're four four and
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: they're right there.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Interesting. I used to play though. I've always remembered that
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: ever since I was a kid, because they used to
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: play like, uh regional stuff there.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, they're the one. I believe they're
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: the only team in the country in D one that
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: I've seen where your bench is actually on the base line. Oh,
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: whenever you see you guys score alepill high five to
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: the teammate because the bench is behind the basket.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like a like a really nice high
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: school gym or something. When you see certain angles, it's
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: yeah weird. Yeah, it's cool. I've heard it's really cool.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, them and Purdue kind of got different looking gyms obviously,
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: Pu Yeah that's a good call. But yeah, so hey,
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: I get like I said, we could do an SEC
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: only podcast. Uh, but hey again Auburn, if I don't
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: watch Broom play the dudes like twenty five and ten
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: when I watched him play Missus layups like he's a
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: fifth grader, So I don't know what I guess I
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: should watch Auburn play anymore. And Bama they score almost
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: one hundred points a night easily. This whole conference is crazy,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: and you really can't call these teams out for being
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: lucky because they've all had to play each other and
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: they're still ranked. So this conference turnam's gonna be a
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: lot of fun. And a few weeks from now, why
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: will this matter more? It'll matter more because then we
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: started getting the seeding where I know they obviously once
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: again in the tournament, you're gonna have to do your
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: own thing. But obviously being a two seed or a
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: five seeds a huge difference, you know in theory. So uh,
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: it'll be hereous see how these teams battle each other
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: out because they obviously mean teams want to play each other.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: I know that Auburn saw us played Bama twice this year.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: They still there's two Iron Bowls to go, So dude,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: and well, like we said last week's podcast, uh, Bama's
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: last seven SEC games of the year in conference are
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: versus all ranked teams. So hey, roll tied, you get
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: you're you're dropping ninety game. Good luck, because you're gonna
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: have to play a rank rank rank rank rank oh
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the year. So yeah, this is
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun. It'll be funny. We
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: can talk about Chris. It's just crazy to see that
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: right now, you have five teams in the top ten,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: Like that should not happen this time of the year.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: As even as College Basket of Landscape pissed to have
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: five in the top ten teams a year conference, that's
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: a true tip of the cap to how good they
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: are and credits to all those teams who are taking
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: care of business.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Yep, in old Miss, like we said, they're one and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: five AGAs ranked teams. They got to figure it out.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's kind of stumbled lately, but like there's six and
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: one against ranked teams and they're tied for eighth in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the damn division in the conference. I mean, that really
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: tells you a whole lot. We'll see if Florida can
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: keep it going too, and M's just solid two. Look
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: at that, I mean seven ranked teams five and two.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: You know, just yeah, man, this this is a This
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: is a great conference, man, no doubt about it. Hopefully
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: they're they're enjoying it, you know, because obviously the college
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: football season didn't go as well. All right, So West
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Coast Conference real quick, we already mentioned Saint Mary's ten
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: and oh baby ten and oh they they're for them
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: ten and oh they've won ten in a row. They
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: beat Gonzaga in a tight ass game. You know, usually
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: they're ranked win is uh, you know, like over Gonzaga,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: but Gonzaga is not.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Ranked right now, so they'll they'll still have to do
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: some of that.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, Santa Clair and even last year Loyola was
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: pretty good too. So just a fun little conference obviously.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: And then talking about the Mountain West like we do,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: per per normal because it's kind of the hardcore basketball conference.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Kind of surprise, you know, via struggling that much. But
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: the top two teams played and New Mexico was on
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: the road, you know, at Utah State. It was a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: tough game. Utah State led a lot of it and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: then basically once once New Mexico got the lead, they
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: just never gave it up. It was it was really
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: fun game. It was on the CBS Sports Network late
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, so that was you know, it's it's a
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: good conference. Colorado State's a good team. San Diego State's
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: usually a little bit better. We'll see if they can
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: get it going. Boise had a good year last year.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: They're looking pretty good, but ultimately it'll be you know,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: once turning time comes, see how if any of them
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: could make it to this week sixteen.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Or something like that.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a conference who normally it is kind
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: of a four to five horse race, and it's pretty
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: close to that right now. Maybe it's a bit of
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: a step back as how it's been the past three years,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: but this conference tournament is one of the most fun
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: ones for all the for conferences who are not in
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: the like the Power five. Uh, and I would say
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: normally one of these teams will be ranked or two,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: but the Big twelve and SS here hogging all the rankings.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they have like four last year, Yeah, three
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: and four they did.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this year just SEC is too damn good. But
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: this this conference is still a lot of fun. It
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: is always good to watch and s on the CBS
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: Sports Network, and it'll come down the stretch here we
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: got we got a good conference to watch. It's just
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: not the top premier league, but very fun, good basketball.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say Kansas at home bounces back tonight
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: over Iowa State, but Iowa State it's gonna be hungry.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: I also think tomorrow Marquette is gonna bounce back and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: beat Saint John's at home. Yeah, yeah, as Square too, Well,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: that's part of it, you know what I mean. I
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: think there's gonna be some fans up there Kentucky, not
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Saint John's fans, mass the Square. Isn't that the place
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: where they held the best conference tournament of all time?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: The Big East?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Vandy at Florida, Purdue at Iowa, don't sleep on
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Iowa at Iowa. You just never know. Kentucky kind of stumbling.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Like we mentioned Old Miss Man, they're looking for a win.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that one. I kind of feel
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: like Old miss is gonna get out the schneid, So
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's a that'll be a good game too. Wednesday,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Oregon Michigan. Michigan better take care of business at home
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: because they need to get that. But Missou, we talked
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: about how Missoo's got a big week coming up, Missoo
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. You know, one of the odds that Tennessee
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: loses at home like that. I'll probably go with Tennessee
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: on that one. Maybe Missou was just due do for
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: an l I guess you could say.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Dude, I can't even I was just scrolling through the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Tuesday I mean you still aside from what you all
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: you said, Uh, Baylor goes to Texas Tech, Indiana goes
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: to Wisconsin, Sparty goes to Ukula, and Arizona goes to
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: b YU. Like Tuesday really has like nine great conference
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: matchups like that, Dude.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: That's those games you listed could actually maybe turn out
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: to be better.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: You never know, you know, yeah, obviously if you're Baylor
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: or hey, you just beat Kansas in a great upset,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: can you carry that over to going Lubbock? Who is,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: to my opinion, kind of like a little bit of
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: surprise team because all thought they'd be like good this
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: year in Indiana. You've been up and down? Can you
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: go into Wisconsin? Uh? A game I do need to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: watch for a little more DNA for both these teams.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Is sparty at UCLA? That'll be that'll be a fun one.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Uh it's at UCLA. Obviously, Michigan's Michigan State has probably
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: been shown in California for the week when you have
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: to play USC and Ucla at least the college basketball
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: scheduling gods let them stay over for a while. And
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: Arizona versus Yeah, dude, Tuesday is a great night for
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: just a regular weeknight of basketball. That we're getting spoiled there.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: I do have to coach a game that night, but
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: it should be over pretty quick playing a pretty bad team.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: So hopefully I'll be able to watch those games. And hey,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: if you're in Miszoo Tennessee for the past, it seems
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: like when Tennessee plays a good team, Chris, they wanted
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: us to keep the scores in the fifties. Miszoo's been
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: scoring about in the eighties this year. So who will
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: win out? Because you remember that Tennessee Auburn game a
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: few weeks ago was like twenty one to twenty a
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: half and Tennessee, Florida they were in the fifties. So
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: this Tennessee team, they, however they play, it seems like
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: they control the speed of the game. So can Miszoo
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: win a game in the fifties? Probably not. That's really
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: not their DNA. So if you're Tennessee again, how you're
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: five and four in conference right and fourth in the land?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: I no idea, but uh, that'll be a good test
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: for Missouri. Uh. Just it's just I guess I'm just
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: stumbling for words, Chris, because you don't see meny teams
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: play like that anymore. Where again, Tennessee wants to keep
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: it a low scoring game. It's just kind of maybe
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: and maybe that's why they're they're better at it, because
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: teams don't really enjoy the the half court game as
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: much as other teams do. Yeah, what what what is
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: your gut say?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, lock up, lock Orange, dude.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: That can be like fifty nine true?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the first team to get to sixty wins
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: the over unders gotta be like one hundred and two.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know that you're right, that would be a
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: crazy one. Hey, if you're Oregon on Wednesday, you were
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: just raked a few weeks ago, and then you went
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: in to play Chris's Golden Gophers. They said get out
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: of here, boy, and then they had a few more losses.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: So if you're the Oregon Ducks, uh, you were raked thirteenth.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: Now you're unraked, so you gotta get back on track.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: Moving to Thursday, the one Ranke game of the day
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: is Maryland versus Ohio State again. Maryland team's beginning a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: lot of more steam and hype. They have talented guards,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: they have talented biggs. You gotta take care of business
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: versus Ohio State again because if you lose the game,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: someone in the SEC's got to take your ranking, which
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: we don't. I think they got enough rankings already. Hey,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: and Friday, it's the first Friday I've had off in
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: probably since September. For basketball. I get to kick my
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: feet up and watch Saint John's play Yukon. That should
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: be a fun one. Saint John's right now is a
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: top dog in the conference, but Yukon has a couple
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: of rings to show you that, Hey, they're the top
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: dog until someone bethrowns them.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: So well, they're gonna be coming off that loss too,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: so you know they might be pretty mad, you know.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: All right, well, hey slick Rick, we'll be walking into Yukon.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know which coach is crazier between Daniy Hurly
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: and Rick Patitos. So that could be a really fun
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: matchup on five. I hope Gus Johnson has the call.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: Gus Johnson call the game, but that'd be a pretty
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: nice the Gus Johnson are Dave Simms. Those are two
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: of my favorite announcers in all sports. That could be
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: a really fun night.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: And then hey, hang on before we get to Saturday, Okay, sure,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: before we get to Saturday. We were just talking about
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the Mountain West. Okay, So on tw or Wednesday, I
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: think it was Colorado State at New Mexico, right, that's
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: FS one Mountain West after dark we're gonna go with. Okay,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna call it since the back twelve.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it's good.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna come back in his existence.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Loyal Marymont at Gonzaga that same night, Saint Mary's at
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: San Francisco. Okay, So we just talked about, you know,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: who's who in that conference? Well we got some who's
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: who's going on Wednesday and Thursday night.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: Hey we're again Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. It's maybe not a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: bunch of a bunch of breaked rake matchups, but dude,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: you have great three nights of basketball this week, so
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: that's I can't wait. I have an easier schedule this
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: week off of work, so I will be locked in
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: and joining those matchups. It's a hardcore dream, amen, sir, Amen,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: I make a couple of bets. Hit the bets and
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: makes them dream even more fun. If you lose these
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: starts cursing, save people's names out loud. So as we
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: move on to Saturday, after we're spoiled Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: Tennessee goes on the road to a place in Oklahoma,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: which should be a win for them, but again, try
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: probably keep in the fifties. As we scroll down a
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: little bit in the in the ranked matchups, per se as,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: I just mis clicked here. I apologize Iowa State host
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: TCU again you to assume Iowa State. Hey, you're you're
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: gonna start that winning homestreak again. If you're Oregon again,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: we this is we get back back to being ranked again.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta a matchup versus Party who again,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: I bet probably if you beat Michigan say you probably
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: will be rightd So hey Oregon to get your ranked thirteenth,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: had a bit of a slide. I gotta go face
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: uh is on the boys. That could be a win
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: to get you back on track. And as we as
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: you said when the show started, Chris Marquette, Dude Marquette
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: versus Crate, this is right now the top of the
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: top for the Big East along with Dever Saint John's Yukon.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: This should be a great matchup. Both these teams have
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: pretty much been kind of going neck connect each other
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: for the past three to four years. They're pretty much
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: seemed to be two of the top four uh top
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: contenders in the Biggest Actually be a really fun one
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: and I will throw a few more games out to
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: let you.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: Speak well, hope, so because you have an even guys,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: are we gonna go Houston and Colorado next? Or what
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: are we gonna do? You gotta Actually I'm.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: Gonna say one more, but you know, so this is
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: this is a good gambling one because how you're gona
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: get a lot of good value. KU goes to k
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: State now the win. I know K State's record is
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: not that pretty ten to eleven, four and six BA,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: it's a big rival. KSE State's been playing good ball.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: I guarantee k you will be the favorite. I will
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: be looking to bet. I will bet k State at
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: home again. They're on it. They're on a bit of
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: a hot streak. So no matter what happens tonight, Yes,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: I'll be betting k State Saturday, locket stamp and throw
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: it down the money. I'll be taking k State as
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: a dog because there's no way Vegas will actually k
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: you beat the dog there. I will be betting k
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: State with the points to beat ku this following Saturday.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: My friend, Okay, okay, we do have a number one
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Auburn against number six Florida.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: Not sure if you saw.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: That one that was that was next on the list.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got to it.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: Then, Okay, finally they're gonna they're gonna stream non sec
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: by big twelve bias or something.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be pissed off. Dude.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I think Auburn's gonna lose
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: here soon, but I just don't sit away.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I actually screwed up. I just hit
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: my damn.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: But I do think, by the way, I do think
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: that Auburn's oh, I mean, it's not going on the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: limb at some point you're gonna drop one. It's just
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: not gonna be at home, in my opinion. And then
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: A and M in Miszoo, I mean, that's another one
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: you forgot. See they don't the sec you just want to.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I guess you gave it too much time. I was.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: I was going by a time clock. They were the
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: next games on the plattern.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, God, yeah, you're going by like tips and stuff. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: not a good enough excuse, But I do guys, and Misszoo,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: how do you see that one breaking down? Because I
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: don't know, man like miss who's been hot?
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: They're at home.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with Miszoo. I've picked about
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: four or five games I haven't heard.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: I've heard some.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Maybees okay, and I will take I'll take I'll take Missou.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: I I think that A and M at times canna
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: be a little shake in the road. I think sometimes,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, So I'll take Missou to win. I have
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: taken the upset with kse State to win. Uh I
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: will be a bit brave and say Florida pulls off
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: the upset versus An. That'll be my my other. I
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: guess I think they Hey Flora again, Florida. Every time
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: I swear I see them lose a game. But you're
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: still right to the top five, so they clearly got
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: the talent. But I will take the Gators to chop
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: their way through Auburn and actually win the game there
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: and again, like you said, dude, it's one lost and
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: it ain't gonna hurt your credibility. You're you're just fighting.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll flat places with Duke if Duke does lose
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: the Clubs on Saturday, but they got to lose eventtion
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: to that. The SEC is too loaded for them to
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: run the table with video on the table. Will hats
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: off to them.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: All right. I think that about wraps it up. We're
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: pretty deep into the pod now. If you want to
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: just do your thing and we can you know, shut
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: her down after your segment here or after our segment exposed.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: Yes. So last week, Detroit Mercy was the first Craftocraft
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: pick of the week. They actually went in as a
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: three point favorite and actually one by ten.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: They showed no mercy.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: They did it. They did. Mister Doug Gottlieb, who's been
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: talking a lot of mess this year, his win loss record,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: is not really repping that mess. He's he's having a
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: tough one. I guess the credit cards have been hit
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: away from him and he's not doing exactly what he
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: promised you should.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: So just like eighteen losses in a row, I'm sure
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: that there'd be a segment where he would have been like,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: he would have been hold out this coach and say, hey,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's give this guy a chance, because right,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: that's probably what he would have.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Been like, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't have been nasty or made a bunch of
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: jokes about him or nothing like that.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Right, No, no, no, okay, So we're going now, we're
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: going to go to this week, We're going to go
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: to the what is it the American East? Yeah, American
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: East Conference, I believe. And this is Saturday at twelve.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Let me, I just want to get the team names
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: down here properly, because we only ever see get of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: those conference ever. So yeah, we do have the where
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: they go, Yes, American East, twelve o'clock Saturday, The New
• 1:16:43
