1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It's Thursday. It's time for full

2
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:12,960
court press. It's Thursday, my favorite day of the week.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,199
It's all the mid majors, all the conferences that I

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,719
you know. I was joking the other day with Kelly,

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,280
I said, you know, I don't there's no conference I dislike.

6
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:26,480
It's just I like these leagues just as I just

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:28,280
as much as I like the big leagues, right, like

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,199
I love a good I love a good.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Big East game. Rob.

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: But then last night I was over in Lawrenceville, New Jersey,

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,920
got to see Ryder win their first Division One game

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,840
of the season, and finally figured out where Lawrenceville, New

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,240
Jersey is. You know that Sienna people are guilty of

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,840
being like, oh, well, Rider's just somewhere in New Jersey.

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,799
I gotta be honest. Until last night, I had absolutely

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,560
no clue where Ryder was, and it turned out it's

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,200
only like forty minutes from my sister's house.

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: So I took a ride out there.

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,799
Speaker 1: No celf owned service, but I made it to campus

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,399
and got to see a good game, So I was

21
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,359
happy about that. How's your Thursday going so far around Veno?

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Thursday in my neck of the woods. Here is

23
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,159
windy as all. Heck adam, we have wins blowing through

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,959
My office here at home is on an outside outside

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,760
wall of the house, so I can hear it loud

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,680
and clear since about five am this morning, ripping through here.

27
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:30,239
But I'll tell you what, nothing to complain about, because

28
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,480
last night off another five and one, six plays, five

29
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,680
got home, the sixth did not get home, but was

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,000
probably the best or one of the best endings in

31
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,519
college basketball so far this season. You'll see these types

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,239
of highlights played before March Madness. SMU, they were not

33
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,680
the better team in the game against Virginia Tech.

34
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: They were.

35
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech was the better team, but SMU did enough

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,599
to hang around, hang around, made a little bit of

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,879
a push late with the beneficiary of not one because

38
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,879
Virginia Tech went to the free throw line and missed

39
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,080
the front end of a one and one, which they

40
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:12,280
rebounded with three seconds left in the game. Virginia Tech rebounding,

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,400
so they got another crack at a one in one

42
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:19,960
missed again with two point six left. SMU grabbed the rebound,

43
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,400
Andy NFL called time out and of course drew up

44
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,000
a Boopy Miller half court swish. But that's the way

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,520
that one ended. SMU wins seventy seven seventy six. I

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,680
needed that team total to go over eighty and a half,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,680
but the other five total plays that I had all

48
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:40,800
went over the number. So I just really quick here,

49
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,360
and I know you the same way. I'm not big

50
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:48,439
on the pat on the back. I seldom do it,

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,199
but I will say eleven and two in college hoop

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,479
to start the week Monday through Wednesday, best at wager

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,680
talk over the three day period in nineteen and nine

54
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,400
over the last seven also the best that we did

55
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:01,680
to talk with last seven days.

56
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 4: So it's been a good run.

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: I've talked about how it's been since December first, and

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,080
it continues.

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: On good results.

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,439
Speaker 3: Last night, Adam and in your case, Ryder comes up

61
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:14,800
with a victory against Iona. How improbable would that scene?

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,039
Speaker 4: Rob?

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm kicking myself because I so appreciate you carrying the team.

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,319
Of course, we have a joint package which I'll get

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,319
the promo out of the way.

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: Now you can get mine.

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,439
Speaker 1: And Rob's plays for three days at a discounted rate.

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,680
It's up on both of our pages. I went on

69
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120
and to last night. It was my first sort of

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,439
bad probably my first like bad day since like the

71
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:37,199
first of the year.

72
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:38,719
Speaker 2: Not too worried about that.

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I am kicking myself because if I played a third

74
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,000
it would have been Rider and they go out and

75
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,159
get the outright win. Rob I had Northwestern last night

76
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:49,400
plus nine and a half. I felt like I deserve

77
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,439
to cover that when they were it's a four point

78
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:55,800
game late. I'm not eve gonna try to pronounce his name.

79
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,680
All I know is he turned into might as well

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,439
have been Luca in the final four minutes, just pick

81
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,120
and pop, daggering me with three after three and then

82
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,879
Nick Martinelli had a chance to cover at the end

83
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:07,719
and he missed the shot.

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: So uh oh and two for me yesterday. We're gonna

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,280
work around that here.

86
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: I'll give at least one of my client plays out

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,000
on the show today because it's a big slate. I'm

88
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,279
gonna have a couple, but we'll get we'll get into it.

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,839
Hopefully we can produce another day. You know what, I'm

90
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:28,399
gonna make two things, one blaming yesterday on huah wah.

91
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,439
Speaker 2: I'm back on my back on my usual grind here.

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Rob got the energy drink no coffee this morning.

93
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go and let let's do three team

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,800
or for the parlay, I was you know, that's when

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,199
I left off too as well, or Roberts. Yesterday we

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,959
had a great number in the parlay that got down

97
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,560
to like six or six and a half at one point.

98
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,279
I think we locked it in the show at like

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,480
eight and a half. And Denver, hey, they can score

100
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:55,839
some points. So let's get into it. Let's talk that

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,959
we got to talk to one top ten team playing

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,680
on mid May Thursday, and that's a Gonzaga Bulldogs. I

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,160
don't know if there's a threat to go down here,

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,600
rob but it's notable that they'll be going on the

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,800
road a little bit of an in state rivalry. Haven't

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,759
been to the Pacific Northwest, but I don't think these

107
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,360
two schools are very far apart. Any chance for the

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,160
Washington State Cougars and Pullman tonight, Yeah, real quick for.

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,759
Speaker 4: Your concerned routine is everything, Adam. So it's glad. I'm

110
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,319
glad you're back in the routine.

111
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,959
Speaker 3: And I just want to make this one last housekeeping

112
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,079
note before we get into it. Yesterday you had a

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,639
guy or a viewer in the chat who was asking

114
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,360
the question about a season package as a season package

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,680
of mine and your plays available to be purchased, and

116
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,600
you made the recommendation, and I think that they followed

117
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,480
through because there is a price point on that package.

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 4: So for those of you who.

119
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,079
Speaker 3: May be interested in the same thing as season long

120
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,360
through March Madness, that is available at the waygertalk dot

121
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:02,959
com office.

122
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, nicest are we have the best customers support people

123
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:09,480
in the business. That is something that deserves way more

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,399
attention than it gets.

125
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,079
Speaker 2: The girls in the office do a tremendous job.

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: So typically you send them an email say hi and

127
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,079
be nice and and they'll they'll give you whatever you

128
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,519
ask for.

129
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: Yes, shout out to Missy M two and the and

130
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,800
the crew there that do a great job for us

131
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,199
while we get to do what we know how to do,

132
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,120
which is this West Coast conference at Washington State.

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: New Member.

134
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,319
Speaker 3: Obviously a little bit of unfamiliarity between the two.

135
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,319
Speaker 4: I noticed a couple of things here, Adam.

136
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,519
Speaker 3: I'm gonna preface it by saying I haven't played yet,

137
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:45,000
but I want.

138
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: To try and just build the case for the underdog

139
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,759
here because it's excessive points and they're at home. But

140
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:51,839
Washington State.

141
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:56,759
Speaker 3: To start the WCC season has been pretty good, right.

142
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,800
They're off to a nice three and two start in

143
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,639
a new league, in a league with pretty good teams,

144
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,079
a couple at least at the top that are annually there.

145
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:08,560
In consideration for NCAA tournament bids, Gonzaga always gets one.

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,560
Saint Mary's generally gets one. They go to Saint Mary's

147
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,360
last game only lose eighty eight to eighty two against

148
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,399
Saint Mary's, which is a difficult place to play. We've

149
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,000
talked about it off and on the shows. So Washington

150
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,920
State and not a venue that they're used to going to,

151
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,519
comes up pretty big there. Before that, they beat fellow

152
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,160
PAC ten member x PAC ten member or PAC twelve

153
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,959
Oregon State. Prior to that at home, they beat Loyola

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,720
Mary Mount so two to zero at home on this floor.

155
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,600
And now, of course we've said this about a few

156
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,839
teams the last few days. The team with the bullseye

157
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:47,720
on their chest walks in. Everybody wants to give Gonzaga

158
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,439
their best shot. Gonzaga walks in couple of things that

159
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:56,160
Washington State does well enough I think here to potentially

160
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,759
hang within the number A. Let me just start by saying,

161
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,399
Gonzaga is better in every five of basketball than Washington States,

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,959
from personnel right down to whatever category you'd like to pick.

163
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,120
But there's certain things that Washington State does really well

164
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,759
that might let them hang in here. A defensive rebound

165
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,360
they're fourth in the country in defensive rebound percentage. And

166
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,920
if Gonzaga has a bunch of one and outs here

167
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:23,920
in somewhat of a strange gym, then or arena, I'll

168
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,439
call it an arena like I should, then one and

169
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,159
outs serve Washington State really well. Washington State is a

170
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,399
middle of the road, good enough three point shooting team.

171
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:40,559
Washington State's and above average two point shooting team. These

172
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,440
things matter in a contest like this. Gonzaga obviously, when

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
you play them, you have to get to the boards.

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Like I mentioned, defensive rebounding could be important here in

175
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:54,080
favor of Washington State. And you got to make shots.

176
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,879
Playing and simple, you can't turn it over. And that's

177
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,519
kind of where Washington State might be in a little

178
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:00,360
bit of trouble here.

179
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,919
Speaker 4: Not the best ball handling group, not the best.

180
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: At forcing turnovers, in fact, far below average in each category.

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,600
So if there's a problem there that can lead to

182
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:15,600
one of those patented Gonzaga, you know, twelve oh fifteen

183
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,279
to two type runs, then you've got issues.

184
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: The good news about.

185
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: That is is you're at home, and I feel like

186
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,480
on your home floor, where you're already two to zero

187
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,720
in league, you probably have a really good chance or

188
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:33,000
a better chance of absorbing that punch than you would

189
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:34,360
on the road. Like if this game was in the

190
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,399
kennel and Gonzaga goes on a twelve oh run, you're

191
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,480
probably toast. If you're Washington State, but at home, with

192
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
your crowd behind you and what should be a pretty

193
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:48,919
upbeat atmosphere, I would think that they could absorb. David

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,559
Riley doing a real good job there as head coach.

195
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,320
That would be my case for Washington State total wise,

196
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,399
I think it's interesting that Washington State, without the help

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,000
of overtime, gets to one seventy against Saint Mary's. I

198
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,480
really can't see that happening again. When you're handicapping totals,

199
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:15,240
the variance of game to game, style to style, matchup

200
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,919
to matchup is really important to figure in. I would

201
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,360
think this one probably because it's priced so high. Adam,

202
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:27,240
as far as total is concerned, maybe stays underneath that number.

203
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,480
So again without having a play on the game, you know,

204
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,519
I can build somewhat of a case for Washington State,

205
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,639
and I can build somewhat of a case for the under.

206
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just going to the board to see

207
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:44,039
what the price is now seventeen and a half. Like,

208
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,120
I'm definitely an agreement that opener of nineteen was high.

209
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:52,240
I think I'm out like seventeen point one. So it

210
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,879
doesn't surprise me that it's trended down toward where it

211
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,720
is now, which is seventeen and a half. Man, you

212
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,039
know the problem for me with Washington State, they definitely,

213
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,279
they definitely are are a team that's prone in my opinion,

214
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,320
of giving up a big run. They turn it over

215
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,039
a ton, something you really can't do against Gonzaga. Now,

216
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:16,240
I'll go back to a point you made. I think

217
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:19,200
it's the fact that you're not in the kennel makes

218
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,879
it a little bit more forgiving, right, Like you start

219
00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:24,840
turning the ball over in front of that crowd, that atmosphere.

220
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,799
I mean, that's a tennel run in about two seconds,

221
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,159
whereas you know, on the road, maybe a little bit

222
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,679
more forgiving. You make a great point about the rebounding.

223
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:37,240
You know that there might be some cheap points here

224
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,519
for Washington State and their ability to at least you know,

225
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:43,639
I don't know if they're going to match Gonzaga on

226
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,080
the glass.

227
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,519
Speaker 2: Gonzaga is a.

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, a top ten, top fifteen rebounding team in

229
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:51,799
the country, but they're not going to get crushed on

230
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,840
the boards like some of the other teams in this

231
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,200
league have by Gonzaga, who are far inferior on the boards.

232
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,399
Then let's say Washinggan status. Yeah, they're gonna need to

233
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,399
hit some threes, but hey, they have Ace Glass. You know,

234
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,240
that's one thing that could keep You're talking about covering

235
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:11,240
an eighteen seventeen and a half here, Rob, you got

236
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,600
a guy like Ace Glass who's playing at the level

237
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,399
he's playing at. Last time out goes for twenty four

238
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,279
against Saint Mary's. You know, he can create his own

239
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,840
shot like that. A guy like that might be good

240
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,799
enough to cover nineteen, right, and then the supporting cast

241
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:28,360
isn't that bad?

242
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:29,799
Speaker 2: Rihard's waivers.

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,639
Speaker 1: Mac guy came from Quinnipiac a couple of years ago,

244
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,200
finally starting to get in the mix. I kind of

245
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720
expected more out of him when he showed up in

246
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:41,000
Pullman last year. He's been like, okay, he had a

247
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,960
really good game against me.

248
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:43,759
Speaker 2: Of course, with.

249
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: Against Loyola Marrimond, I'm sorry that was I don't I

250
00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:51,639
watched that game. It's seventeen and I remember thinking, I

251
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,080
don't think I had action there, but I remember thinking, man,

252
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,639
it's nice to see him scoring because I kind of

253
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,440
thought that he would be, you know, a scoring option

254
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,679
for this Washington State team. And then they lose a man.

255
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:10,039
The names on this team, Rob Thristarson went down at

256
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,440
the end of December, and he was someone that was

257
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,519
kind of waiting, like to see who was going to

258
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,159
replace him. From a production standpoint, Wavers has kind.

259
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: Of been that guy.

260
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:22,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, I see enough redeeming qualities where he could

261
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:27,840
You could talk me into Washington State plus nineteen because

262
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:29,840
we missed the move a little bit. I you know,

263
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:31,519
I know it's like one and a half points on

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,600
a big number, but that does matter.

265
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: I think i'd want at least eighteen and a half.

266
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,840
But as you know, with.

267
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: These Gonzaga games, as the betting public starts to roll in,

268
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,720
there's almost always like buy back pushback as the day

269
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:47,279
goes on. So I think if this one got back

270
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,559
to nineteen or even better, like made it to nineteen

271
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
and a half. I think I think I'd be willing

272
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,399
to take a look at the Washington State side.

273
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got a national television broadcast here too, Adam

274
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,000
which had ten at night Eastern times seven o'clock Pacific,

275
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,639
will draw attention right people making the late game on

276
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:12,679
the game that's on TV, that will be Washington State Gonzaga.

277
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,679
So the point of the number may going back toward

278
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,440
Gonzaga because the public isn't gonna favor Washington stayed here.

279
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,440
It could be applicable in this case. Maybe you want

280
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,320
to wait on it. Oh and I see Garth has

281
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,440
made his way in Okay.

282
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, No for me personally, definitely no play in

283
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,039
that one right now. I'm gonna kind of see how

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,919
the day goes. But if Gonzaga takes what seems to

285
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,600
be there like daily bump, someone's gonna play back at

286
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,120
that move, just about guarantee it. If it steems and

287
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,519
gets to the point where suddenly we're back at the

288
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:49,120
opener or higher, I think you could start to look

289
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:51,679
toward Washington State. It's a big number that the Washington

290
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,720
State is very capable of at least not getting embarrassed

291
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,279
on their home floor. I think that's the point that

292
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,080
you know what, we'll probably leave that game with and

293
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:01,799
we'll move on.

294
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:02,879
Speaker 4: Garth.

295
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring this one up, so we'll rob.

296
00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:08,799
Youn know we're gonna we're gonna have a third play.

297
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:10,879
I just don't know how we're gonna do it. Maybe

298
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:13,480
it's something we agree on, maybe we agree with someone

299
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,720
in the chat. Maybe by you pops up or Garth

300
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:19,240
is competent in a play, we'll use theirs. I want

301
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,960
to do a three team er today because there's just

302
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,120
too many good games. We gotta get three. Got to

303
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,200
go back to a three team or today switch it up.

304
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,960
Garth brings up a game that I'm very interested in,

305
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:30,879
and he's got an interesting angle here because he's his

306
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:34,759
thoughts on Hawaii team total under eighty and a half

307
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,519
just seems too high for me. Second road game of

308
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:42,360
the season for the Bows. Yeah, the Hawaii really didn't

309
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,559
leave the island at all. In non conference play. They

310
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,159
hosted at MTE, they picked off games against some teams

311
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:53,559
that were coming over for the Maui and they pretty

312
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:57,440
much just rob. I believe they went to Oregon the

313
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,799
first game of the season open their season, and you

314
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,600
against Oregon in a game they almost won, and then

315
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:06,720
pretty much just posted up at the Stan Sheriff Center

316
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,679
for like two and a half months or two months

317
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,799
the travel. Now that Hawaii is in the Big West,

318
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:14,720
all they have to do is to go to California.

319
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,679
So it's not terrible for them in my opinion. But

320
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080
what do you think about that? Because this was a

321
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,279
game that I kind of looked at at a glance

322
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,679
and said cal Poly might be able to keep this

323
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:28,039
close and there might be points here. So I don't

324
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:30,879
know if I agree with the under But I also,

325
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:33,799
you know, he's kind of asking, like, from a numericals perspective,

326
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:36,799
is at number too high? You're the totals guy, help

327
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,000
garth out Hawaii cal Poly late Night.

328
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, first off, anything involving cal Poly, I just don't

329
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:48,759
know if it's too high. You know, the speed they're

330
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:52,679
going to play at, the lack of defense that goes

331
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:56,679
with that. When you play high pace, it doesn't even

332
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,480
necessarily mean you're bad defenders. It just means that there's

333
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:05,839
always open space on the floor, there's always tempo. So

334
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,079
were cal Poly is concerned as far as defending or

335
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,039
preventing Hawaii from getting over eighty and a half.

336
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:14,079
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

337
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: I'm when I go to the two Hawaii road games

338
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400
so far this season, go to Riverside score eighty eight.

339
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,799
Go to U see San Diego score seventy three. You

340
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,480
see San Diego is a better defensive team than cal

341
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,039
Poly is. So when you get seventy three, there can

342
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:33,119
you get eighty one here? Hawaii is a good enough

343
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,279
shooting team to do so.

344
00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: So it would be it would be difficult for me.

345
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: I think if this game we're on the island, I

346
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,160
would lean more towards Hawaii home defense and Hawaii controlling

347
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,640
or dictating a little more of the pace. Just know

348
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,839
that Hawaii can go into this arena, into cal Poly's

349
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,960
home and sort of dictate and play at the tempo

350
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:05,319
and the style that they want to. If you want

351
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,079
to make the case that you think cal Poly could

352
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,720
stay under their team total because Hawaii has been so

353
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,880
good defensively, their metrics are off the chart defensively, then

354
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,640
you know I couldn't even do that because cal Poly

355
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,480
moves at such a rapid rate. Because cal Poly gets

356
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,720
the ball in the bucket and with them for me,

357
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:31,799
it always comes back.

358
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 4: And this is just one solo game.

359
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: But the game that they played earlier this season against UCLA,

360
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,880
where Ucla, I believe it was Sky Clark came out

361
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,680
at the half and said, we can't believe they play

362
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,319
that fast and they shoot that many threes, and then

363
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,480
Mick Cronin got on him in the locker room and

364
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,359
sort of leveled it off. But cal Poly was able

365
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,200
to get eighty seven on the road against that UCLA

366
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,799
defense and forced that game, by the way to a

367
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:05,039
one to ninety five final score total. And we know

368
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Ucla is predicated in defense, so it's hard for me

369
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,920
Garth to go ahead and play the Hawaii team total under.

370
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,480
It's not to say it can't happen, but the fundamentals,

371
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:21,839
the styles, the matchups, the venue all tell me that

372
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,680
I'd be closing my eyes the entire time and maybe

373
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,200
not even watching, just checking back for a score and

374
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,200
praying that I'm still under eighty and a half.

375
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

376
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: But cal Poly is one of those teams that your

377
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,759
boy is just not allowed to bet rob because every

378
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:42,559
time I bet cal Poly, I get a good number,

379
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,000
I beat like a two point move, and then they

380
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,519
get crushed if I don't bet them, they went out

381
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,160
right as an eight point dog. It's just one of

382
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,920
those teams that I cannot pick the right spots with.

383
00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:56,359
Once again, here, I very much agree with the early money.

384
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,519
This opened seven. Looks like you're down to five and

385
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:03,240
a half makes complete sense. My I think my number,

386
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,279
I've got it right here, three point nine. So I

387
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,559
probably missed that one just from a straight up like

388
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,640
you know, had I had still had the opportunity to

389
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,640
take seven, I probably would bet that with cal Poly.

390
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,440
But at the same time, the concerns are for me

391
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:22,000
and I guess i'd be concerned for Garth is can

392
00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:23,319
they stop Hawaii?

393
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,519
Speaker 2: You know they don't defend the rim at all, Hawaii.

394
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing about this Hawaii team, and that

395
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,799
you know I've gone and said, okay, well, Hawaii is

396
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,519
very good this year. So because they're good and everyone

397
00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:40,240
knows they're good at home, you're paying like this massive premium.

398
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: To back Hawaii. I was I was curious if.

399
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: When they went on the road you'd get them at

400
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,160
a discount, because people are just so like the the

401
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,119
average better now is so tuned into home road splits

402
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,759
and playing the home spot. We've seen it all week.

403
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,559
It's been really, really difficult to get good numbers on

404
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,079
home teams, especially when they're like the spot type plays.

405
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,519
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm.

406
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Almost wondering now five and a half, like, are we

407
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:14,559
just like I mean, you know what I mean, it's

408
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,880
like Hawaii. Is that Is that a cheap price on Hawaii?

409
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,279
I guess not for me because I made the number

410
00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:24,359
three point nine. But still I'm a little bit tentative

411
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920
of a hesitant to just play one of these lesser

412
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960
teams against Hawaii because this year Hawaii is actually good.

413
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:34,039
In years past when they had bad teams, yeah, I

414
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,960
never had an issue fading them on the road. But

415
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,599
I think this Hawaii's tea team is good. And that's

416
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,319
my concern is that they score at will and just

417
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,000
overwhelmed cal Poly. At some point, if Polly can score,

418
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,799
they're gonna cover this number, but then it's gonna go over,

419
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,960
so that makes it tough. The game that I think

420
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,039
is gonna happen has a bunch of points in it,

421
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,160
so I think Garth, I'd probably say no to the under,

422
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,440
but hey, if you do get there with it, I

423
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:02,839
wish you.

424
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:07,279
Speaker 3: Walk well then Garth has an early number as well,

425
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:10,240
because the full game total has been pushed up six

426
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,799
points already from one fifty one and a half to

427
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,160
one fifty seven and a half, and the team total

428
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Garth asked about is now eighty one and a half,

429
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,279
which gives him a little more room to stay under

430
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,599
and perhaps, I mean with cal Poly, I wouldn't say

431
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:30,519
that the line the total move upward is finished yet again,

432
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:35,039
it's a late cards start, plenty of time for more action. Obviously,

433
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:38,839
the syndicates, the early betting groups have gotten what they

434
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,759
wanted out of it. I don't know that they'll push

435
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,480
it all that much higher, but they still couldn't. The

436
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,720
game's probably not coming backwards unless somebody feels like it's

437
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,400
going to land in between those two numbers.

438
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, Garth. You've got extra room.

439
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: You have eighty one and a half now, so if

440
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,680
you like it, you've got an extra point to work

441
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,319
with here. I would just be scared to play that

442
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:04,039
side under the number against this defense and at this

443
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,079
pace that I think is going to be played.

444
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: At rob Alumni Jim last night in Lawrenceville had tremendous

445
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:16,400
WI FI, which was so huge for me because my

446
00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:18,400
phone still didn't work. Of course, there was like a

447
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,839
massive Verizon outage yesterday that was affecting like the Philly

448
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,400
well actually it affected a lot of the country. And

449
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:29,440
I was so thrilled to show up and like the

450
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:33,359
Wi Fi was spectacular. So unfortunately for me, it meant

451
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,799
I got to watch all my games lose, well, you know,

452
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,039
just the two. I only had two last night. But

453
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,720
I hope because I can't stay away Rob, I hope

454
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:46,920
the same thing holds true tonight at the CQ Arena,

455
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:50,519
the SECU Arena, that's where That's where I'll be tonight.

456
00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: For Charleston Towson. Uh realize it's only like it's less.

457
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Than two hours from my sister's house, and you know,

458
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,559
I've never been to this building, so I can't stay

459
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,960
away by you, says he kind of likes Towson today.

460
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: Might need someone to throw some cold water over my head.

461
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. My initial look here was where's the offense coming

462
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,400
from in this game? For either of these teams. Charleston's

463
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,920
been a little bit better. You noted a couple of

464
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:22,240
maybe a week week and a half ago, that Charleston

465
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,440
was gonna be better as they got some of their

466
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,000
guys back, and you've been very right about that four

467
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:28,799
and oho to start conference play.

468
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.

469
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,799
Speaker 1: One of the biggest sort of you know, mind f's

470
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,319
this year so far from me, Rob, is Towson starting

471
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,839
one and four in the Coastal. I thought they probably

472
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:43,400
were going to win this league this year. They finally

473
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,799
get a win last time out against Northeastern, maybe by you.

474
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I kind of like Towson too, but

475
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,160
I don't know. I don't know if I can do it.

476
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: What do you think, Rob Cider total here to you,

477
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,079
Charleston Towson from Maryland.

478
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 3: To There's probably no way I play an over in

479
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:09,200
a thousand game in thousands building. Again, I'm repetitive about this,

480
00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:11,640
but it's just one of the handicapping angles I use.

481
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:15,519
I always believe that if there's a contrast in styles,

482
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,359
that the home team will be the one to dictate

483
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,039
the tempo of the game more than half of it.

484
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,480
So if it's a forty minute game, I'm saying, you know,

485
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:28,920
some around twenty five, let's go twenty four to sixteen split,

486
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,480
the home team should at least have that much of

487
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:34,359
a favorable edge the way they want to play the game.

488
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:38,799
In that instance, it's going to be played way too slow.

489
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,640
And I just feel like slow teams affect quicker teams

490
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,400
in a negative way constantly. Now when we take a

491
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,920
look at what Charleston has gone through in the CIA

492
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,839
so far, no longer Colonial Athletic Association, last couple of years, Coastal. Now,

493
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,119
if we always have to catch myself, I show my

494
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,240
age when I say Colonial. But you know, you know,

495
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,759
Bill and Mary, you're supposed to go over against them.

496
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:06,759
You're supposed to put up one sixty seven as a

497
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:11,279
full game total. Elon won sixty six. But Charleston has

498
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,960
shown since they got their couple guys back, is they're

499
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,519
flexing their offensive muscle a little bit. Their tempo has

500
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:22,359
definitely increased. Last game against Hampton only a sixty three

501
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,519
possession game, but sixty three possessions because it was shot

502
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,119
because Hampton shot the ball so well from the field,

503
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,160
so it just limits the amount of possessions. I think

504
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,599
Charleston comes in here. Thousand's ready. Thousand's a really good team.

505
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,519
We talked about it before, a team that probably should

506
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:43,039
have been on top of the league as far as

507
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:47,200
preseason prognostications go and just failed miserably out of the

508
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,640
shoot but finally got the monkey off their back and

509
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,039
beat North Northeastern in their last outing. Now for thousand,

510
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,759
that was way too high of a scoring game for

511
00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:02,160
their liking. It's a win sixty five against Northeastern Adam

512
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,000
And again I think I said I talked a little

513
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,319
about variants earlier, and this is all just you know,

514
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,720
this handicapping is not in exact science. But for me,

515
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,519
there's always a baseline number that a team's going to

516
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,200
be able to score, and then game to game you

517
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,440
have to watch the variants. For me, this would be

518
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:22,400
a normally, when I say bounce back, I mean they're

519
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
gonna score more. In this it would probably be a

520
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,079
pushback where I think thousand gets the game back down

521
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,720
into the category where they like it, especially against the team.

522
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,319
You know, when you're playing teams that you're better than,

523
00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:37,640
or that you believe you're better than, your fear of

524
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,839
run with them is not as much. When you're playing

525
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:42,799
a team that's equal to or better than you, you

526
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:46,240
want to impose your will. I think that's probably what

527
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,359
happens here in this tousand game. We see the number

528
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,799
at one forty one and a half. For me, I

529
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,440
know Bayu brought this game up, but for me, we're

530
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,759
totally concerned that number. I think God's makers having a

531
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:02,519
really good place. I could see the game ending in

532
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:06,960
that area seventy two sixty nine something like that, which

533
00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:10,319
makes it way too close. So I won't play. Money's

534
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,759
come in on Charleston personnel wise, they're better. Can they

535
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,680
overcome the contrast in style and what they're gonna face

536
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,319
here with a team that's really good as far as

537
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,400
league play is concerned and is off their first win,

538
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,279
probably a little bit of a confidence booster.

539
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will find a spot to play against Charleston,

540
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,480
like in the very near future, because I just like, listen,

541
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:40,680
they they're definitely better than what they you know, like

542
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:43,039
Coolby Dugan being back has been pretty huge for them.

543
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,079
Speaker 2: He had twenty two in his last game.

544
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:49,599
Speaker 1: And you know, to this, this team played a lot

545
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:53,799
of the non conference without Duggan, without Connor Hickman, mister

546
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,079
Dean has done for the year. So like tho, I mean,

547
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,880
that's like considerable losses. So to get two of those

548
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,880
guys back, you were very much right about that. Getting

549
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,240
those two back has been huge for them, but they

550
00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:08,720
they've kind of had a favorable start to conference play.

551
00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:11,160
You know, they're four and zern conference, but they beat Drexel,

552
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:15,480
Elon william and Mary Hampton. Like I guess William and

553
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Mary's pretty good. Elon's been better than I thought, and

554
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,920
they won that game on the road. So again I'm

555
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,160
not I'm not like totally confident in my rating of

556
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,359
Charleston yet, you know, because obviously it's a it's a

557
00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:27,759
different team than I thought it was gonna be at

558
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:30,119
the beginning of the season, different team than we saw

559
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,519
a non conference. Now they bring a couple of guys back,

560
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:35,599
they look better. But I like, this team, in my opinion,

561
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,200
is not running away with this league. On the other

562
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,079
side of the of the coin, Rob Towson to me,

563
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,559
is still better than a one and four team, but

564
00:29:43,599 --> 00:29:46,319
they have they've got to find a way to put

565
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,359
the ball in the basket. It just, you know, I

566
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,319
really thought this year, Tyler Tahatta and you know, Dylan

567
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:54,839
Williamson were just gonna like make tough shots and be

568
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,759
able to like carry this team offensively.

569
00:29:57,799 --> 00:29:59,519
Speaker 2: They really haven't done it.

570
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,519
Speaker 1: I mean, they they're getting their points right, sixteen point

571
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:06,000
seven points per game for Tahata Williamson averaging double figures.

572
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:09,839
But they really just you know, it hasn't translated to

573
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,319
wins recently. And then they've been without Doombia, So Jack

574
00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:16,400
Doombia for Towson has missed the last two games.

575
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: He was the other double digit scorer.

576
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:21,039
Speaker 1: You know, you can't really towsand can't really afford to

577
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,559
lose a double digit scorer, and they have the last

578
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:27,359
couple games. They don't have enough scoring to just lose

579
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,720
a guy like that. So possible that the Charleston money

580
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:34,400
maybe knows he's going to be out again. Also, I

581
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000
also think people just saw and said Towson can't be

582
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:39,279
a favorite in this game because Charleston's better.

583
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: Don't totally disagree with that either.

584
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: My number came out tows and minus one, it's now

585
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,960
tows and minus one.

586
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:48,279
Speaker 2: I think this.

587
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: I think Towson finds a way.

588
00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:52,799
Speaker 2: They're such a tough team.

589
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: If they can clean up the offensive glass, which I

590
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,359
think they might be able to do here, I think

591
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720
they find a way to win this game. But I

592
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:02,599
just I don't know if I'm confident enough to fire

593
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,319
anything on it. We'll see if by you is I

594
00:31:04,319 --> 00:31:07,119
know he's over there saying he he wants to do it,

595
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,839
but should be a pretty good game, probably well scoring.

596
00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:14,880
That's the other thing I'll say about that one. Okay,

597
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,119
let's go back. Let's go back to the chat here.

598
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,680
You know what I'm I'm going to I'll give my

599
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,519
I said I was going to give a client playout

600
00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:27,680
on the show, and I see.

601
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: One moving a little bit.

602
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,079
Speaker 1: I just want to double check to the to the

603
00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:34,400
point where I just I think this is the one

604
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,400
I'll give because it's we're gonna be able to just

605
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,759
put the money line in the parlay. So I want

606
00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:46,400
to talk cal Baptist Abilene Christian whack basketball Tonight, Rob Bino,

607
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,759
I played Abilene Christian minus one fifteen.

608
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: They've taken a little bit of money.

609
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: That was what I kind of saw as I try

610
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,839
to like check the odd screen out of the corner

611
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,359
of my eye.

612
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:57,799
Speaker 4: I'm down.

613
00:31:57,839 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm down a screen today. So it's uh.

614
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,759
Speaker 1: The good news is we won't have the people in

615
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,279
the chat say, what's Trig looking at off to the

616
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,240
left and off to the right, because I don't have

617
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:08,000
that other screen.

618
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:08,319
Speaker 4: Rob.

619
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: The bad news is I kind of have to keep

620
00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:17,880
toggling to see the board. But Steve Duke said, yeah,

621
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,200
it was a good case for a pass on the

622
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,960
towsing game. That we're here to talk these games out

623
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:24,960
and you know, try to give you different angles so

624
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:26,599
you can make the best decision possible.

625
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,839
Speaker 2: That being said, we're also here to give.

626
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,079
Speaker 1: Out picks, and I'm going to give out Abilene Christian

627
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:32,599
minus one fifteen.

628
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: I'm good with any money line. I think it's up

629
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,359
to like minus one thirty.

630
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,599
Speaker 1: That's gonna be by parlay leg It's a four percent

631
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,160
play for me for clients. I've got at least one

632
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,160
of those, or at least two of those today, So

633
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,039
I'm gonna give one out here on the show, Rob

634
00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:48,640
a couple things here. So I got to see cal

635
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:53,039
Baptists play a couple of weeks ago at Tarleton State.

636
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,839
Tarlton won that game. I bet Tarlton in that game.

637
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,000
And what I like to do against cal Baptists, I've

638
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,880
said this on the show a couple of times. If

639
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,839
you have guards that can clamp down Baptist guards, you're

640
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,519
gonna have a really good chance to win. And Abilene

641
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:13,279
Christian plays outstanding perimeter defense. Their guards can defend, and

642
00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:15,079
I think they're gonna do a really good job on

643
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:21,319
cal Baptist guards. Now those two Dom Daniels Martel Williams, uh,

644
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,559
very good players. But mart Martel did not play last game,

645
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,839
which is a huge concern if you're cal Baptist. If

646
00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:31,960
Martel Williams is still out here, which I have no

647
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:33,559
idea if he is or not. I just know he

648
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:36,559
didn't play his last game. I don't see anyway cal

649
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,279
Baptist wins this game on the road without him. It's uh,

650
00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:44,200
there's a you know, we talked about travel in Conference USA.

651
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:46,279
ROB It's hard to win on the road in the

652
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:49,279
Whack too, and cal Baptist kind of gets the short

653
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:51,720
short end of the stick in that regard because they

654
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,720
have to go to Texas a couple of different times.

655
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: It's it's one of the longer trips in the league.

656
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Uh there.

657
00:33:56,519 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: If you know, there's seven teams in the LAFT right now,

658
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,240
and like four them or three or four of them

659
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,960
are still in Texas. Cal Baptist is all the way

660
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,880
in Riverside, California. So no matter what, they're either going

661
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,039
to travel to Utah to some altitude in most cases,

662
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,719
or they're gonna have to travel to Texas, and this

663
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,960
is their second Texas trip in quick succession, because they

664
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,039
were just there a couple of weeks ago. So you know,

665
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:21,840
I look at this game, I say Baptist has to

666
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,280
go on the road. Abilene, in my opinion, does what

667
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,920
Tarleton does better than Tarleton does it in their ability

668
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,679
to defend. Like Billy Geleepsi and his guards play really Gillespie.

669
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,519
I always say his name wrong too. Those guards play

670
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:38,840
really good defense. Ableen's argue'll be better, and now cal

671
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,360
Baptist might be without one of Really, they only have

672
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,159
two super creative players on the team. It's Daniels and

673
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,079
it's Martel. You take one of those guys off the floor,

674
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:49,000
I don't see how cal Baptist has any chance to

675
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:52,119
win if he plays. I still don't think they win.

676
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,719
So I took Abilene Christian on the money line here.

677
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 3: And they struggled with Southern Utah without him. Last Utah

678
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,880
is not a very good basketball team at all. Into

679
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,800
Abilene Christian's credit, Like you mentioned about the guards clamping down, they.

680
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: Forced a lot of turnovers.

681
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 3: You have to be good with the basketball against that team.

682
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,559
Abilene Christian, probably you know needs two and a half

683
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:19,800
shots to make one. They haven't shot the ball well

684
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,280
this year, but if the other team's coming up with

685
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,039
empty possessions, it makes a difference A and the amount

686
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:31,320
they can score and B and how close Abiline can

687
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,960
keep this game. So let's roll with that as once

688
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,800
you know what. Let's just I'm gonna get off for

689
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,360
a second and to the chat. If I'm wrong here tonight,

690
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,079
I promise I'll go back to team totals. But I

691
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:51,239
wanted our game totals because last night I think I

692
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,239
had FIU game over and it went sailing over.

693
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,599
Speaker 4: And it's what I'm best at. But I just saw

694
00:35:57,679 --> 00:35:59,000
one tonight. We're gonna lock in.

695
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: This to at least two parts of this parlay, now, Adam.

696
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 4: This is simply from.

697
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:07,039
Speaker 3: A matchup standpoint where I like the home team South

698
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:10,159
Alabama plus three and a half against Arkansas State.

699
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 4: Again, it's one of those games that falls into.

700
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: The category that I talked about earlier where I like,

701
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,039
not that I like, but I do think that home

702
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:24,519
teams with contrasting styles, especially if the home team is

703
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:29,480
a slow paced team, affects a quicker pace squad, and

704
00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:31,679
I think that's what we have here in the case

705
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,239
of Arkansas State against South Alabama. Arkansas State, for what

706
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,480
it's worth, we've talked about them enough this year. I've

707
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,239
been you know, they've been pretty good to me as

708
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,960
far as payouts, cashing tickets has been concerned this year.

709
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:47,119
They want to get up and down the floor. They

710
00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:50,599
play at a fast pace. South Alabama with Richie Riley

711
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:54,440
head coach, the exact opposite slow tempo if you want

712
00:36:54,519 --> 00:36:58,559
exact numbers, three seventeen and adjusted an adjusted offensive tempo.

713
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,079
But how about this, the three hundred and sixty five

714
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:05,840
Division one teams that are beedible that we cover here,

715
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,039
they're three hundred they were well, let's say that they

716
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,719
keep the opponent to the three hundred and sixtieth slowest

717
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:17,159
average time of possession. They make you work on that

718
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,519
end almost nineteen full seconds. It's not what Arkansas State

719
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:25,000
wants to do whatsoever. I talk often about comp game

720
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,880
and they come right off of one. They just played

721
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,800
Georgia Southern. South Alabama did Georgia Southern again, another one

722
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,760
of those NATO's two point zero teams, right assistant coach

723
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,960
there at Georgia Southern. What happens South Alabama wins that

724
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:43,599
game eighty seven to seventy one on this floor by

725
00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:46,199
sixteen against a team that wants to do what Arkansas

726
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,119
State does, get up and down, score a lot of points.

727
00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:51,920
Don't want to be bothered harassed. On the defensive end,

728
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:57,280
transition defense for South Alabama, really good shot making when

729
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,519
it counted against a team that plays the same was

730
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:03,800
really good. They almost got to ninety points. I'm gonna

731
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,000
take my chances that they come through and do it again.

732
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:08,000
Both of these teams are twelve and five, by the way,

733
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:10,079
so it's two good teams. It's not like you're betting

734
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:14,480
a poor home underdog here. Arkansas State just getting a

735
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:19,239
little bit more respect power rating wise than South Alabama

736
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,840
is at this point in time inside the conference. Arkansas

737
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,719
State four and one, South Alabama three and two. A

738
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,440
South Alabama win here at home, which I think they

739
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,199
would have this targeted as one that they want to win,

740
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,880
we'll put them in a tie with Arkansas State, potentially

741
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,280
in second place if Georgia Southern were to lose their

742
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,599
next game. So for me, it's going to be take

743
00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:44,119
the points with the contrasting home dog that's already proven

744
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:46,840
that they can beat this style of team as recently

745
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,559
as this past weekend. So give me South Alabama in

746
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:52,519
this parlay adam at plus three and a half.

747
00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:54,039
Speaker 4: And again, if.

748
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,119
Speaker 3: I'm wrong tonight, guys in the chat, I apologize, and

749
00:38:57,159 --> 00:38:59,400
tomorrow I guarantee you we'll get back to totals. But

750
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,599
I just this one shapes up all the ingredients here

751
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,599
signal to me that this should be a home underdog

752
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,280
cover if not straight up win.

753
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really like that too.

754
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:15,519
Speaker 1: You talk about cover, can't believe you're getting three and

755
00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:19,880
a half here. I actually make this South Alabama minus one. Yeah,

756
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,239
that's why I had South Alabama minus one. So the

757
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,320
fact that you're getting a full possession in a matchup

758
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,320
South Alabama at home. Matchup's definitely gonna favor South Alabama

759
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,760
because it's they They have the ability to negate everything

760
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,320
as you were saying that that Arkansas State wants to do,

761
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,639
and they're you know, they're they're probably gonna be able

762
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:45,159
to score against this Arkansas State team. So why even

763
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:47,559
overthink it more than that? I feel like there's nothing

764
00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:50,519
else that even needs to be said. You're getting a

765
00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:54,159
great number. I think that's a fantastic bet. I'm glad

766
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:56,239
you're using it in the parlay. I like that one

767
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,480
as well. All right, let's move on Garth this back in,

768
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:02,800
but he brings up a game that a whole bunch

769
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,039
of you guys want to talk about. Jose Perez jumped in,

770
00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:11,320
says Elon rolls tonight. Reguards's thoughts on Elon minus three

771
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,639
and a half already a rematch, Yeah, it's crazy. We

772
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,920
had one the other day. We actually had one last

773
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,159
night in conference to USA. It's crazy that we're almost

774
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:22,239
to the part of the year where you might see

775
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,920
some teams playing for the second time. This, I believe

776
00:40:26,039 --> 00:40:30,400
is Elon up at the UH. I don't know the

777
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,159
name of the building yet, Rob, because they just moved there.

778
00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:37,400
But North Northeastern has a small on campus facility that

779
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,199
they will be playing home games at for probably the

780
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,360
next year and a half or so. Matthew's Arena, of course,

781
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,880
has closed finally, which is sad. That place was built

782
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,119
in nineteen ten, one of the most historic arenas in

783
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:54,119
the entire country for any sport, and they finally closed

784
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:57,559
it down. So Northeastern back on campus tonight they take

785
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:02,039
on Elon the first meeting. Rob, you're a totals guy.

786
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:05,920
The first meeting was one oh three to ninety one

787
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:11,360
down in Elon. Northeastern won that game. I gotta be honest,

788
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Elon's been way better than I thought they were going

789
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,840
to be this year. I thought, you know, losing Matthew

790
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,559
Van Coleman and some of the guys that they had

791
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:21,400
on that team last year, I had Elon way downgraded

792
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,559
coming into the year. This team's been pretty good and

793
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,039
they've kind of done it with scoring. They said, okay,

794
00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:31,239
well maybe we can't be the super defensive zone type

795
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,599
team that we were last year.

796
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: No problem, We're just gonna go out and score points.

797
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,519
Garth likes Elon. What do you think here, Cider.

798
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 3: Total, you know, real quick, just to your first thoughts

799
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:45,920
in your analysis. The building that they're going to play

800
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,519
in tonight Northeaston is called Cabot Center. It's the absolute

801
00:41:49,559 --> 00:41:53,840
smallest attendance in Division one, eight hundred and twelve capacity.

802
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: Even will get I know it's on my list, Rob,

803
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,920
I gotta get over there.

804
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,199
Speaker 2: I gotta get to be.

805
00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:01,199
Speaker 3: One of these, have to be one of these eight

806
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:04,880
to twelve that get into the place. You want to

807
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,440
talk about quaint and cozy that's quaint and cozy, and

808
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,800
if Northeastern were a better team, then perhaps you would

809
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,360
find really good home results. I mean, it's just the

810
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,960
kind of place where home results should correlate to better

811
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:25,800
than what Northeastern has produced so far back to back losses. Now,

812
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,880
again let's preface it by saying UNC Wilmington may be

813
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,039
the best team in the league.

814
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,119
Speaker 4: They lose to them here. Thousand.

815
00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: We just talked about how we both believe in how

816
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,079
preseason prognostications believe that Towsand was going to be in

817
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:40,519
the mix.

818
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 4: Here.

819
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 3: They've gotten off to a rugged start, but they lose

820
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,159
to them in this building. It's their third straight home

821
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:49,920
it's a revenge game. And again I'm just rattling off

822
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,760
things why potentially Northeastern could be there.

823
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:57,199
Speaker 4: It's a brand new shooting venue for Elon.

824
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,159
Speaker 3: Although the first two teams in didn't seem to have

825
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:03,119
a lot of trouble, scoring eighty seven each. I talked

826
00:43:03,159 --> 00:43:05,320
earlier about toosand not being a fast paced team. They

827
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,480
scored eighty seven in this building. So Elon is Elon's

828
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:11,960
kind of sacrificed defense for offense. I went back really

829
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:15,800
quick earlier this morning and just checked Billy Taylor, the

830
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,360
head coach's numbers since he's been at Elon, and it's

831
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,480
by far, by far the most offensively efficient team he's

832
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:24,360
had in four years.

833
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:25,599
Speaker 4: It's not close.

834
00:43:26,159 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: I think that the adjusted offensive the closest was fourteen

835
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:34,519
percent lower than what it is this year. They don't

836
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:38,400
go necessarily quick as far as length of possession is concerned,

837
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,519
but they shoot it really, really well at him, and

838
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:46,559
that's probably I hate to be so simplistic, but sometimes

839
00:43:46,599 --> 00:43:49,039
basketball is just a game of making shots, right, And

840
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,320
for this side on Elon, they make shots. The other

841
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,440
team doesn't. Northeastern, actually they don't make them at the

842
00:43:57,519 --> 00:44:01,320
rate Elon makes them. They make enough they couldn't quite

843
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,800
outscore them the first time one O three ninety one.

844
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,800
Is there a thirteen point Well, let me just check

845
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,119
the exact number that we're dealing with here on this game,

846
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:14,400
so I can give you a good accurate Yeah, you're

847
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,760
getting well pushed up to three and a half now, Okay,

848
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,320
So what you have to ask yourself is there are

849
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,360
ten points worth of difference than what happened the first

850
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,119
time because Northeastern's home here and maybe they have a

851
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:26,599
little bit of revenge. I don't know if there's ten.

852
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,119
I mean, if there's six, seven, eight, nine points worth

853
00:44:30,119 --> 00:44:34,159
of difference, you still don't cover. Actually that goes update

854
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,079
six seven or eight, you still don't cover. So it's

855
00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:39,440
hard to get to the Northeastern side. I would think

856
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,840
you go ahead and play Elon, but more than that,

857
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,760
and this total was probably priced too high to begin with,

858
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,119
at one sixty four and a half because one of

859
00:44:48,199 --> 00:44:50,039
three ninety one is a little bit of a one off.

860
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,639
It looks really good, but you have to consider the fact.

861
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:57,880
And again, guys in the chat, you'll hear me say

862
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,559
this all season long, but coaches love to fix what

863
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:03,280
went wrong the first time. If possible, Gonna go back

864
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,239
to the game tape, gonna say, how did we give

865
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,320
up one O three? How can we prevent giving up

866
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,239
one O three? The other side's gonna say, well, you

867
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,719
know what, we gave up ninety one, but we still

868
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,840
won by twelve. So I don't know how much we

869
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,440
have to change. The regression could be on the Elon's

870
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,840
side if Northeaster comes up with answers. It could also

871
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,320
be that they're not good enough to come up with answers.

872
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,679
Total has been pushed down by four full points. Somebody

873
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,360
thinks it's not going to get the sixty four and

874
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,159
a half. I don't know that that somebody is me.

875
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,519
I'd probably look Elon's way, Adam. I don't see this

876
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:39,519
game reversing by, like I said, more than eight points

877
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:41,400
off of what it did the first time, which was

878
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,320
Elon win by twelve. So no play but a lean

879
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,639
on the Elon's side minus the point. So I'll agree

880
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:49,519
with the line move probably. You know, if you got

881
00:45:49,519 --> 00:45:51,800
in early, congratulations you got a way better number.

882
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer my two cents here, and while

884
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,960
I do that, I want to see if the chat

885
00:45:58,199 --> 00:45:59,880
wants to make this the third leg of the part

886
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,840
by using Elon money line. It would basically be like

887
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,920
splitting the difference, right. I think we both agree on Elon.

888
00:46:06,119 --> 00:46:08,239
It feels like the chat kind of leans that way,

889
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,280
and then we'll just go moneyline and ask them to win,

890
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,920
not have to cover because we're doing a three team

891
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,719
er anyway. The thing I want to point out here

892
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,440
is Yuri Fritz got hurt two minutes into that Towising game,

893
00:46:19,639 --> 00:46:22,880
and I think, if nothing else, just forget just you

894
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,000
already handicapped the game perfectly. I don't even need to

895
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,119
go into that. At what point can Northeastern can't lose

896
00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:31,760
another play? It's like, how many players can they lose

897
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,519
before you have to like plummet their raiding off the cliff. Remember,

898
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:38,519
la Pratt was supposed to be their best player. He

899
00:46:38,519 --> 00:46:41,239
gets hurt three games into the season. They've been without

900
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:47,119
Xander Alaiin since mid December. Fritz has been their leading scorer.

901
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,719
He was up to eleven point five points per game.

902
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,199
Former Canisius Golden Griff Rob he was really good at Canisius.

903
00:46:54,199 --> 00:46:57,440
He's been at Northeastern the last two years. This year

904
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,760
finally getting a chance to play. I don't think he's

905
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,280
gonna play. As far as I know, he's not playing tonight.

906
00:47:03,079 --> 00:47:04,840
You know, he went out two minutes into that game.

907
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,840
I don't think that's totally baked in here to the

908
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,559
number either you talk about you know that, I mean,

909
00:47:11,639 --> 00:47:16,159
right there, they that's arguably three of the most impactful

910
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:19,679
players on Northeastern's roster and in this league, in some

911
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,639
of these lesser leagues. I just don't think those injuries

912
00:47:22,639 --> 00:47:26,440
get baked in quick enough. You know, obviously the first

913
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,320
two perhaps been gone all season for the most part.

914
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,679
A Lair's been gone since mid December. But now you

915
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,960
lose another guy that's really been like doing the majority

916
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,800
of your scoring, and Elon dropped one oh three on

917
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:42,079
you last time out, and you're supposed to have enough firepower.

918
00:47:41,519 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: To win this game. I kind of think Elon wins.

919
00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:48,559
I may even lay this.

920
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean that that three and a half doesn't even

921
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,320
seem that that crazy at this point, knowing that he's

922
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:55,119
probably out.

923
00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: And for me, I think.

924
00:47:56,599 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: Personally, I've just been wrong on Elon. I think I

925
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,880
had them rated way too low coming into the year

926
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,760
because of some of the guys. They laughed, but you

927
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,079
pointed out they have their most efficient offense that they've

928
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:06,199
had ever.

929
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: Under Billy Taylor.

930
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: So why would we not just throw Elon moneyline in

931
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,559
and close out the parley making a three teamer like that?

932
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah that's my rhetorical ty.

933
00:48:16,679 --> 00:48:20,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just to be fair where head coaching is concerned.

934
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,880
And I said, coaches love to fix what went wrong.

935
00:48:23,599 --> 00:48:26,199
Bill Cohen's not in his twentieth year at Northeastern for

936
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,400
no reason. This is an excellent head coach who's dealing

937
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,000
with a shorthanded roster right. So his game plan, his

938
00:48:33,519 --> 00:48:37,159
blueprint to win here is try and shorten this game

939
00:48:37,199 --> 00:48:39,960
as best you can, try and chop off as many

940
00:48:40,039 --> 00:48:41,880
off of that one oh three that his team gave

941
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,840
up the first time as you can, and hope that

942
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,800
you hang around in this new gym, hope that maybe

943
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,079
Elon comes in here and you know, finds the shooting difficult.

944
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:54,400
But as I mentioned earlier, the two teams that have

945
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,639
been had them, they found no difficulties scoring eighty seven

946
00:48:57,679 --> 00:48:58,320
points either.

947
00:48:58,199 --> 00:49:00,679
Speaker 4: One of them, Wilmington nor thousand. So it's good.

948
00:49:02,159 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 3: It's like climbing Mount Everest here for for uh Northeastern

949
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,239
in the in the personnel shape that they're in right now.

950
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of those teams, as you said, is Towson,

951
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,639
who who hadn't been able to score against anyone you know,

952
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,639
prior to that game last weekend. So yeah, unless you

953
00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:24,000
know Jose Peress as Elon rolls, I trust him, I

954
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,440
trust Garth. So unless someone comes up with something better

955
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,400
in the next ten minutes, that's gonna be the third league.

956
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,840
We'll go Elon moneyline for the third leg of our parlay.

957
00:49:32,519 --> 00:49:35,760
We still got some time, so let's get in. Oh

958
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,719
you know what we by you brings up one. You

959
00:49:38,119 --> 00:49:40,559
said you want to talk about this next time it

960
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:43,039
popped up, So let's talk about it. William and Mary

961
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:46,039
team total uh was going to be a target for you.

962
00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:48,239
I don't know, did you did you get them? Did

963
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,920
you get your money in that already? I think we

964
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,480
brought this up about a week ago. I know they

965
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:54,320
played over the weekend, but you have another chance again

966
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,880
here they're a favorite tonight.

967
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: What do you think William and Mary?

968
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they stood me up again, Adam and I lessened

969
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,360
the bet the third time around, just to see because

970
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,880
it could have been a matter of being overpriced, right,

971
00:50:10,119 --> 00:50:13,880
You never know, Like you say, the odds makers probably

972
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,639
sharper nowadays than ever, and the numbers that they put

973
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:19,760
up are difficult to beat.

974
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,559
Speaker 4: So you know what, as stubborn as.

975
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 3: I am of Italian heritage known to be style, baged

976
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,960
my head against the brick wall, and I bagged it

977
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,199
against the brick wall one more time tonight. I do

978
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,719
think Balu's onto something. I'm back with William and Mary

979
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,679
in this particular matchup he's talking about in this If

980
00:50:40,679 --> 00:50:44,440
I'm reading it right, are you better off laying the

981
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:48,679
quarter and playing eighty over eighty seven and a half.

982
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,199
Speaker 4: Then you are.

983
00:50:51,599 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 3: Taking a cheaper viig at one oh five and moving

984
00:50:54,519 --> 00:50:56,039
it up to eighty eight and a half where you

985
00:50:56,119 --> 00:50:59,400
have to score eighty nine points. And I'm not sure

986
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,119
I would dis agree with that is the twenty cents

987
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,440
worth one point though in my estimation with William and Mary. No,

988
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,360
if William and Mary's got I'll probably have to come

989
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,760
on here tomorrow and retract everything I'm about to say.

990
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,639
But I'm going to say that if William and Mary's

991
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:19,800
good enough to get to eighty eight in this matchup

992
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,280
against A and T North Carolina A and T, then

993
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,039
they're good enough to get to eighty nine.

994
00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 4: Now, some of the things that held them back.

995
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 3: I go back a couple of games to the Charleston

996
00:51:30,519 --> 00:51:32,199
game which I had the team that was the first

997
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:34,199
one that started this run of team totals that have

998
00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:36,880
stayed under I think that number was maybe eighty one

999
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,199
and a half eighty two and a half.

1000
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,679
Speaker 4: Boy, they missed a lot of shots. I remember telling you.

1001
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,519
Speaker 3: In a comeback effort, late drive to the rim, lay up, miss,

1002
00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:49,119
get the rebound, go to the free throw line for

1003
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:52,400
a one in one miss, come back shoot at three miss.

1004
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,719
They had every opportunity to go over in that game Monmouth,

1005
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,800
they just didn't score. I thought, okay, bounce back is coming.

1006
00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:03,280
But it was against Drexel, which again, sometimes slow teams

1007
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,719
affect fast teams. I think it happened there. I don't

1008
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,519
know that A and T is going to be able

1009
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:11,599
to on William and Mary's home floor, be able to

1010
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:15,360
prevent William and Mary from doing what they do best.

1011
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,119
So yes, by you, I'm back in on that side here.

1012
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,719
Actually was a client release today, and if I were you,

1013
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,760
I would just you know, I'll say what I did

1014
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,480
or what I would do. I would go ahead and

1015
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:29,480
play over eighty eight and a half at the cheaper price,

1016
00:52:29,639 --> 00:52:31,280
because I don't think the one point's going to make

1017
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,440
a difference in this matchup.

1018
00:52:34,679 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a oh yeah, I figured out the

1019
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,000
game that this reminded me of yesterday, so kind of

1020
00:52:41,039 --> 00:52:45,719
reminds me. We broke down UCLA Penn State yesterday, and

1021
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,880
I kind of made the point when we talked about

1022
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,760
that game. You know, Penn State played you know, three

1023
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,559
really good games and it's like, did they use it

1024
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:56,000
all up? And it looked like they did, right, they

1025
00:52:56,119 --> 00:52:58,360
were second best last night, I ended up losing the

1026
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,480
game by eleven h. This is a n C A

1027
00:53:02,639 --> 00:53:07,440
and T team, rob that doesn't have much talent. Okay,

1028
00:53:07,519 --> 00:53:11,760
Like last last year, all their talented players unfortunately were

1029
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,239
trying to shave points. Okay, But then they left the

1030
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,480
school and and and they were left with what I

1031
00:53:17,599 --> 00:53:20,599
consider to be probably a better team.

1032
00:53:20,679 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 2: If you were just like gonna define the word team.

1033
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have things actively working against you

1034
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:31,719
inside your locker room. But you know, guys like Camie

1035
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,039
and Shell, Guys like Landon Glasper who I think transferred

1036
00:53:36,039 --> 00:53:38,280
to Southern Myss and it's sitting out a year. Jonathan

1037
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,239
Lemom who is in the same conferences now at UNC Wilmington.

1038
00:53:41,679 --> 00:53:44,119
You know, those were like that was like the talent

1039
00:53:44,199 --> 00:53:47,280
on this roster this year. You gotta you got a

1040
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,599
group of guys that will absolutely go out there and

1041
00:53:49,639 --> 00:53:52,480
give you an effort, but they just don't have the talent.

1042
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,599
And now you look at their last couple of games

1043
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:57,960
now that they're in conference play, great effort against Wilmington,

1044
00:53:58,159 --> 00:53:59,079
came up short.

1045
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,039
Speaker 2: Uh, Northeastern.

1046
00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 1: We just kind of talked about that Northeastern team not

1047
00:54:03,519 --> 00:54:07,039
really being a great team. Again, they give an effort

1048
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:09,800
at stony Brook, they come up short, cover but come

1049
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,079
up short. Last time out, give an effort against Elon,

1050
00:54:13,519 --> 00:54:16,360
they cover, but they come up short. You can only

1051
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,800
do that for so long until you there's a game

1052
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,519
where you just get absolutely blitzed by a team that's better,

1053
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,320
that has more talent, and I think that's this team, Rob.

1054
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,400
I think William and Mary, especially on their home court.

1055
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,920
As all of my lights die, but that's okay. We

1056
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,119
only have an over here, like like by a campfire. Now,

1057
00:54:34,519 --> 00:54:37,000
I don't know how all of my lights just die.

1058
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,360
Probably should charge them anyway, like I got the flashlight

1059
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,719
by camp fire, Rob. But that's all right, we'll deal

1060
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,360
with it for the last five minutes. Point is, I

1061
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,360
think William and Mary could just destroy them tonight. I

1062
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,360
actually think you could lay it. I think you could

1063
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,639
lay the thirteen and a half. I think that's too low.

1064
00:54:53,679 --> 00:54:54,159
Speaker 4: I made it.

1065
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: I made this fifteen point two. I just checked my numbers,

1066
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,760
so not the you know, usually look for a little

1067
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,679
bit bigger of a discrepancy on a higher point favorite,

1068
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,760
but I think this is a spot where.

1069
00:55:07,679 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 2: The tribe maybe even cheered on.

1070
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: By Steve Maryland person, because I know he goes to

1071
00:55:12,519 --> 00:55:13,440
a lot of the home games.

1072
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,079
Speaker 2: Maybe even Steve Merrill helps us get that one home.

1073
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, William and Mary buy you in the chat,

1074
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,239
says smash Spot. I think that's a great way to

1075
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:27,159
put it. I think they probably roll tonight. All right,

1076
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:28,639
we still have a couple of minutes left.

1077
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:29,079
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1078
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,639
Speaker 2: You know what, rob this one.

1079
00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: I nearly made this the feature and then realized that

1080
00:55:33,519 --> 00:55:37,800
would probably you know, couldn't couldn't not make Gonzaga the

1081
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,880
feature tonight just because they're you know, they're a top

1082
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,239
ten team in the country. I want to talk New

1083
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,679
Mexico State liberty because it's a nationally televised game, one

1084
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:51,239
of the first games off the board. And you know,

1085
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,760
I still think there's merit to the discussion we brought

1086
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,000
up yesterday. It is really tough to win on the

1087
00:55:57,079 --> 00:56:00,960
road in this league with the mileage these teams are logging.

1088
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,559
Speaker 2: And then just look at what happens last night.

1089
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,559
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee State up by like twenty at half, just

1090
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:09,800
absolutely rolling.

1091
00:56:10,199 --> 00:56:12,559
Speaker 2: But they also went to El Paso.

1092
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: And Las Cruzes the week before, come out in the

1093
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,960
second half completely run on a gas score eighteen points

1094
00:56:18,159 --> 00:56:21,760
and Louisiana Tech comes back and gets the win. Just

1095
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,519
another example of how difficult it's going to be to

1096
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:27,360
win on the road in this league. New Mexico State

1097
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,599
comes all the way to Lynchburg, Virginia tonight in a

1098
00:56:30,679 --> 00:56:33,239
matchup that I don't think is great for New Mexico State.

1099
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:35,880
Rob Am, I crazy to want to lay it with

1100
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,400
the Liberty Flames in this game.

1101
00:56:39,639 --> 00:56:42,559
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Again, Liberty is a team that

1102
00:56:42,639 --> 00:56:44,920
shoots it so well, Adam, and you put them on

1103
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,519
their home floor. This is the second time, by the way,

1104
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,280
second time that New Mexico State has gone into or

1105
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,400
taken a flight for a two game road trip inside

1106
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,800
the conference, but this one covers more distance. The first

1107
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,119
one was to Florida and then the ur not as

1108
00:57:01,199 --> 00:57:02,159
bad as being.

1109
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 4: A Virginia Delaware trip.

1110
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,599
Speaker 3: This is a hike for New Mexico State coming from

1111
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:09,079
Las Cruisers, so we'll see how they handle it. Obviously, they've,

1112
00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:12,119
like I say, had one before, but it just hasn't

1113
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:15,800
been as substantial distance wise as this one is. Richie

1114
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,360
McKay's team shoots the basketball so well from three. The

1115
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,639
first thing I always check when I'm looking at Liberty

1116
00:57:20,639 --> 00:57:22,599
opponents is how well do they defend the three New

1117
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:25,800
Mexico State Pretty good at that, pretty good at defense

1118
00:57:26,159 --> 00:57:29,719
all around, which goes to their tradition, to their nature,

1119
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,719
they're usually a good defensive team. However, they don't put

1120
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,840
the ball in the basket, and you just wonder how

1121
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,039
many empty trips New Mexico State can have and survive

1122
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,519
on the other end against a team that shoots it

1123
00:57:40,679 --> 00:57:43,960
this well. Liberty had a little bit of a stint

1124
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,039
here Adam where they weren't scoring up to their capability,

1125
00:57:48,519 --> 00:57:53,199
but they're certainly scoring now. And it's one of those

1126
00:57:53,199 --> 00:57:56,360
interesting contrasts that I spoke of a couple of days ago,

1127
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,880
were just because they play at a way, at a

1128
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,760
pedestrian style pace, doesn't mean you can't score when you're

1129
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:10,199
as efficient as Liberty is. They just make shots, and defensively,

1130
00:58:10,239 --> 00:58:13,559
it's tough to have to cover these guys as long

1131
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:14,159
as you have to.

1132
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,719
Speaker 4: I just feel like at some point.

1133
00:58:15,559 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: In this game, New Mexico State's defense wears out.

1134
00:58:19,159 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 4: Again.

1135
00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 3: There's subject to being on the wrong end of a

1136
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,239
run from the Flames here, so I wouldn't look to

1137
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,559
the New Mexico State side travel is also a thing,

1138
00:58:26,599 --> 00:58:28,599
and real quick because we won't be able to talk

1139
00:58:28,639 --> 00:58:31,800
about it tomorrow on Friday Show because the game will

1140
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,400
go Saturday. If, for instance, New Mexico State does come

1141
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,639
up with a big performance here, I'd be more than

1142
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:40,159
willing to bet Delaware on Saturday as they take the

1143
00:58:40,199 --> 00:58:42,800
second leg of this trip. So something to look at,

1144
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,880
guys in these Conference USA two game road trips first result.

1145
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,960
Sometimes you can counter punch on the second game as well.

1146
00:58:51,599 --> 00:59:00,679
But I would look Liberty this game up muted, muted,

1147
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,199
got some light back for a minute.

1148
00:59:02,239 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: These clip on lights are the best I've ever used

1149
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,000
for this, but you do have to charge them and

1150
00:59:06,039 --> 00:59:08,760
when you forget, they die. So that's what happened to

1151
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,719
me right there. As far as this game is concerned.

1152
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,159
You know, last year Liberty won these two matchups by

1153
00:59:15,199 --> 00:59:18,119
eight and ten. Didn't really shoot the ball particularly well

1154
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:21,000
in either, so you know, putting them in their home

1155
00:59:21,079 --> 00:59:24,039
gym tonight, you got to think that they they probably

1156
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,599
had a chance to shoot it better. If they do,

1157
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,519
I would be you know, part of the reason I

1158
00:59:30,599 --> 00:59:33,719
played Middle Tennessee State against New Mexico State over the

1159
00:59:33,719 --> 00:59:37,400
weekend was New Mexico State had just been giving anything

1160
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,719
and everything up from three and Middle Tennessee State sort

1161
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,239
of had their way in that game. They were able

1162
00:59:42,239 --> 00:59:44,360
to get the shots they wanted. They went to Las

1163
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,239
Crusis and won, which is very impressive because we've talked

1164
00:59:47,239 --> 00:59:49,519
about how hard it is to win games on the

1165
00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:52,440
road in this league. You know, I don't know what

1166
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,400
the tally is right now, but going into Saturday it

1167
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,440
was twenty and four, and it can't be much better.

1168
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,119
I know there's been a couple, but it can't be

1169
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:02,039
much better than that this point. So New Mexico State

1170
01:00:02,039 --> 01:00:03,639
having to come all the way from Las Cruzes to

1171
01:00:03,719 --> 01:00:06,159
Lynchburg if Liberty's putting.

1172
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,199
Speaker 2: The ball in the baskets, and then I think this

1173
01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:08,000
one could get ugly.

1174
01:00:08,039 --> 01:00:11,639
Speaker 1: So I'm strongly considered Liberty minus eight and a half

1175
01:00:12,039 --> 01:00:15,119
in this game. And Rob, I'm supposed to promo, So

1176
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,800
I think we the you guys have requested us our

1177
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,960
presence on Saturday, and I believe wager Talk is gonna

1178
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,400
make that happen. So I think this week I'll be

1179
01:00:27,519 --> 01:00:31,880
on last call with Kelly, but then in future weeks

1180
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,320
I'm supposed to do promo. The fact that we will

1181
01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:36,679
start to do a Saturday show as we get deep

1182
01:00:36,679 --> 01:00:41,679
into conference play. You know, it would be impossible to

1183
01:00:41,719 --> 01:00:43,320
get as in the weeds as we do on this

1184
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,119
show because there's so many games. But at worst we're

1185
01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:49,239
gonna come on and hit some of the big games.

1186
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,039
Take a couple of chat questions, so look out for that.

1187
01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:55,840
I think I will be on this Saturday again. I

1188
01:00:56,599 --> 01:00:58,679
should probably know this before I come on the show

1189
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,679
and talk about it, but keep an eye out for that.

1190
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: The other thing again.

1191
01:01:03,639 --> 01:01:06,039
Speaker 1: One more time before I close this show out and

1192
01:01:06,719 --> 01:01:10,760
recap the parlay is Rob and I have our three

1193
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,320
Days special. It is every college basketball play either Rob

1194
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,760
or I makes for three days. And we found out

1195
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,280
yesterday that if you send Customer Support a nice email,

1196
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,719
say hi to the girls at Customer Support that do

1197
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,480
such a tremendous job, they'll give you a full season

1198
01:01:25,679 --> 01:01:28,239
rate on that as well. So you know that is

1199
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,400
an option too, And maybe we'll get that up on

1200
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,000
the page, just so it's offered on the page.

1201
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: We'll have to talk about that.

1202
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,119
Speaker 1: But Rob Vino three team or today, just to switch

1203
01:01:37,159 --> 01:01:39,719
it up, someone in the chat asked Treg would you

1204
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,239
still play Ablene Christian minus two? Yeah, you can but like,

1205
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,079
if it's minus one thirty, I think I'd rather have

1206
01:01:46,159 --> 01:01:48,800
the money line. In that scenario, the money line is

1207
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,719
what we're putting into the parlay. So Rob Veno is

1208
01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:54,199
gonna go with South Alabama plus three and a half.

1209
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,119
I'm gonna go with Abilene Christian on the money line.

1210
01:01:58,159 --> 01:02:00,880
I called it minus one thirty, and then we're gonna

1211
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,840
put elon minus one sixty five.

1212
01:02:04,159 --> 01:02:07,239
Speaker 2: Rob and I agree. The chat seems to agree.

1213
01:02:07,639 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: It's almost like a consensus sort of chat play on Elon.

1214
01:02:12,639 --> 01:02:15,320
That's gonna be the third leg plus four forty odds.

1215
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,239
Let's see if we can get it going today.

1216
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Either way.

1217
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow ten am Eastern to talk to

1218
01:02:23,079 --> 01:02:26,239
Friday Slate. Good luck today, everyone, Let's cash some tickets.

1219
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:27,239
We'll see you guys tomorrow
