Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It's Thursday. It's time for full
court press. It's Thursday, my favorite day of the week.
It's all the mid majors, all the conferences that I
you know. I was joking the other day with Kelly,
I said, you know, I don't there's no conference I dislike.
It's just I like these leagues just as I just
as much as I like the big leagues, right, like
I love a good I love a good.
Speaker 2: Big East game. Rob.
Speaker 1: But then last night I was over in Lawrenceville, New Jersey,
got to see Ryder win their first Division One game
of the season, and finally figured out where Lawrenceville, New
Jersey is. You know that Sienna people are guilty of
being like, oh, well, Rider's just somewhere in New Jersey.
I gotta be honest. Until last night, I had absolutely
no clue where Ryder was, and it turned out it's
only like forty minutes from my sister's house.
Speaker 2: So I took a ride out there.
Speaker 1: No celf owned service, but I made it to campus
and got to see a good game, So I was
happy about that. How's your Thursday going so far around Veno?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Thursday in my neck of the woods. Here is
windy as all. Heck adam, we have wins blowing through
My office here at home is on an outside outside
wall of the house, so I can hear it loud
and clear since about five am this morning, ripping through here.
But I'll tell you what, nothing to complain about, because
last night off another five and one, six plays, five
got home, the sixth did not get home, but was
probably the best or one of the best endings in
college basketball so far this season. You'll see these types
of highlights played before March Madness. SMU, they were not
the better team in the game against Virginia Tech.
Speaker 4: They were.
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech was the better team, but SMU did enough
to hang around, hang around, made a little bit of
a push late with the beneficiary of not one because
Virginia Tech went to the free throw line and missed
the front end of a one and one, which they
rebounded with three seconds left in the game. Virginia Tech rebounding,
so they got another crack at a one in one
missed again with two point six left. SMU grabbed the rebound,
Andy NFL called time out and of course drew up
a Boopy Miller half court swish. But that's the way
that one ended. SMU wins seventy seven seventy six. I
needed that team total to go over eighty and a half,
but the other five total plays that I had all
went over the number. So I just really quick here,
and I know you the same way. I'm not big
on the pat on the back. I seldom do it,
but I will say eleven and two in college hoop
to start the week Monday through Wednesday, best at wager
talk over the three day period in nineteen and nine
over the last seven also the best that we did
to talk with last seven days.
Speaker 4: So it's been a good run.
Speaker 3: I've talked about how it's been since December first, and
it continues.
Speaker 4: On good results.
Speaker 3: Last night, Adam and in your case, Ryder comes up
with a victory against Iona. How improbable would that scene?
Speaker 4: Rob?
Speaker 1: I'm kicking myself because I so appreciate you carrying the team.
Of course, we have a joint package which I'll get
the promo out of the way.
Speaker 2: Now you can get mine.
Speaker 1: And Rob's plays for three days at a discounted rate.
It's up on both of our pages. I went on
and to last night. It was my first sort of
bad probably my first like bad day since like the
first of the year.
Speaker 2: Not too worried about that.
Speaker 1: I am kicking myself because if I played a third
it would have been Rider and they go out and
get the outright win. Rob I had Northwestern last night
plus nine and a half. I felt like I deserve
to cover that when they were it's a four point
game late. I'm not eve gonna try to pronounce his name.
All I know is he turned into might as well
have been Luca in the final four minutes, just pick
and pop, daggering me with three after three and then
Nick Martinelli had a chance to cover at the end
and he missed the shot.
Speaker 2: So uh oh and two for me yesterday. We're gonna
work around that here.
Speaker 1: I'll give at least one of my client plays out
on the show today because it's a big slate. I'm
gonna have a couple, but we'll get we'll get into it.
Hopefully we can produce another day. You know what, I'm
gonna make two things, one blaming yesterday on huah wah.
Speaker 2: I'm back on my back on my usual grind here.
Rob got the energy drink no coffee this morning.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go and let let's do three team
or for the parlay, I was you know, that's when
I left off too as well, or Roberts. Yesterday we
had a great number in the parlay that got down
to like six or six and a half at one point.
I think we locked it in the show at like
eight and a half. And Denver, hey, they can score
some points. So let's get into it. Let's talk that
we got to talk to one top ten team playing
on mid May Thursday, and that's a Gonzaga Bulldogs. I
don't know if there's a threat to go down here,
rob but it's notable that they'll be going on the
road a little bit of an in state rivalry. Haven't
been to the Pacific Northwest, but I don't think these
two schools are very far apart. Any chance for the
Washington State Cougars and Pullman tonight, Yeah, real quick for.
Speaker 4: Your concerned routine is everything, Adam. So it's glad. I'm
glad you're back in the routine.
Speaker 3: And I just want to make this one last housekeeping
note before we get into it. Yesterday you had a
guy or a viewer in the chat who was asking
the question about a season package as a season package
of mine and your plays available to be purchased, and
you made the recommendation, and I think that they followed
through because there is a price point on that package.
Speaker 4: So for those of you who.
Speaker 3: May be interested in the same thing as season long
through March Madness, that is available at the waygertalk dot
com office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nicest are we have the best customers support people
in the business. That is something that deserves way more
attention than it gets.
Speaker 2: The girls in the office do a tremendous job.
Speaker 1: So typically you send them an email say hi and
be nice and and they'll they'll give you whatever you
ask for.
Speaker 3: Yes, shout out to Missy M two and the and
the crew there that do a great job for us
while we get to do what we know how to do,
which is this West Coast conference at Washington State.
Speaker 4: New Member.
Speaker 3: Obviously a little bit of unfamiliarity between the two.
Speaker 4: I noticed a couple of things here, Adam.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna preface it by saying I haven't played yet,
but I want.
Speaker 4: To try and just build the case for the underdog
here because it's excessive points and they're at home. But
Washington State.
Speaker 3: To start the WCC season has been pretty good, right.
They're off to a nice three and two start in
a new league, in a league with pretty good teams,
a couple at least at the top that are annually there.
In consideration for NCAA tournament bids, Gonzaga always gets one.
Saint Mary's generally gets one. They go to Saint Mary's
last game only lose eighty eight to eighty two against
Saint Mary's, which is a difficult place to play. We've
talked about it off and on the shows. So Washington
State and not a venue that they're used to going to,
comes up pretty big there. Before that, they beat fellow
PAC ten member x PAC ten member or PAC twelve
Oregon State. Prior to that at home, they beat Loyola
Mary Mount so two to zero at home on this floor.
And now, of course we've said this about a few
teams the last few days. The team with the bullseye
on their chest walks in. Everybody wants to give Gonzaga
their best shot. Gonzaga walks in couple of things that
Washington State does well enough I think here to potentially
hang within the number A. Let me just start by saying,
Gonzaga is better in every five of basketball than Washington States,
from personnel right down to whatever category you'd like to pick.
But there's certain things that Washington State does really well
that might let them hang in here. A defensive rebound
they're fourth in the country in defensive rebound percentage. And
if Gonzaga has a bunch of one and outs here
in somewhat of a strange gym, then or arena, I'll
call it an arena like I should, then one and
outs serve Washington State really well. Washington State is a
middle of the road, good enough three point shooting team.
Washington State's and above average two point shooting team. These
things matter in a contest like this. Gonzaga obviously, when
you play them, you have to get to the boards.
Like I mentioned, defensive rebounding could be important here in
favor of Washington State. And you got to make shots.
Playing and simple, you can't turn it over. And that's
kind of where Washington State might be in a little
bit of trouble here.
Speaker 4: Not the best ball handling group, not the best.
Speaker 3: At forcing turnovers, in fact, far below average in each category.
So if there's a problem there that can lead to
one of those patented Gonzaga, you know, twelve oh fifteen
to two type runs, then you've got issues.
Speaker 4: The good news about.
Speaker 3: That is is you're at home, and I feel like
on your home floor, where you're already two to zero
in league, you probably have a really good chance or
a better chance of absorbing that punch than you would
on the road. Like if this game was in the
kennel and Gonzaga goes on a twelve oh run, you're
probably toast. If you're Washington State, but at home, with
your crowd behind you and what should be a pretty
upbeat atmosphere, I would think that they could absorb. David
Riley doing a real good job there as head coach.
That would be my case for Washington State total wise,
I think it's interesting that Washington State, without the help
of overtime, gets to one seventy against Saint Mary's. I
really can't see that happening again. When you're handicapping totals,
the variance of game to game, style to style, matchup
to matchup is really important to figure in. I would
think this one probably because it's priced so high. Adam,
as far as total is concerned, maybe stays underneath that number.
So again without having a play on the game, you know,
I can build somewhat of a case for Washington State,
and I can build somewhat of a case for the under.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just going to the board to see
what the price is now seventeen and a half. Like,
I'm definitely an agreement that opener of nineteen was high.
I think I'm out like seventeen point one. So it
doesn't surprise me that it's trended down toward where it
is now, which is seventeen and a half. Man, you
know the problem for me with Washington State, they definitely,
they definitely are are a team that's prone in my opinion,
of giving up a big run. They turn it over
a ton, something you really can't do against Gonzaga. Now,
I'll go back to a point you made. I think
it's the fact that you're not in the kennel makes
it a little bit more forgiving, right, Like you start
turning the ball over in front of that crowd, that atmosphere.
I mean, that's a tennel run in about two seconds,
whereas you know, on the road, maybe a little bit
more forgiving. You make a great point about the rebounding.
You know that there might be some cheap points here
for Washington State and their ability to at least you know,
I don't know if they're going to match Gonzaga on
the glass.
Speaker 2: Gonzaga is a.
Speaker 1: You know, a top ten, top fifteen rebounding team in
the country, but they're not going to get crushed on
the boards like some of the other teams in this
league have by Gonzaga, who are far inferior on the boards.
Then let's say Washinggan status. Yeah, they're gonna need to
hit some threes, but hey, they have Ace Glass. You know,
that's one thing that could keep You're talking about covering
an eighteen seventeen and a half here, Rob, you got
a guy like Ace Glass who's playing at the level
he's playing at. Last time out goes for twenty four
against Saint Mary's. You know, he can create his own
shot like that. A guy like that might be good
enough to cover nineteen, right, and then the supporting cast
isn't that bad?
Speaker 2: Rihard's waivers.
Speaker 1: Mac guy came from Quinnipiac a couple of years ago,
finally starting to get in the mix. I kind of
expected more out of him when he showed up in
Pullman last year. He's been like, okay, he had a
really good game against me.
Speaker 2: Of course, with.
Speaker 1: Against Loyola Marrimond, I'm sorry that was I don't I
watched that game. It's seventeen and I remember thinking, I
don't think I had action there, but I remember thinking, man,
it's nice to see him scoring because I kind of
thought that he would be, you know, a scoring option
for this Washington State team. And then they lose a man.
The names on this team, Rob Thristarson went down at
the end of December, and he was someone that was
kind of waiting, like to see who was going to
replace him. From a production standpoint, Wavers has kind.
Speaker 2: Of been that guy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I see enough redeeming qualities where he could
You could talk me into Washington State plus nineteen because
we missed the move a little bit. I you know,
I know it's like one and a half points on
a big number, but that does matter.
Speaker 2: I think i'd want at least eighteen and a half.
But as you know, with.
Speaker 1: These Gonzaga games, as the betting public starts to roll in,
there's almost always like buy back pushback as the day
goes on. So I think if this one got back
to nineteen or even better, like made it to nineteen
and a half. I think I think I'd be willing
to take a look at the Washington State side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got a national television broadcast here too, Adam
which had ten at night Eastern times seven o'clock Pacific,
will draw attention right people making the late game on
the game that's on TV, that will be Washington State Gonzaga.
So the point of the number may going back toward
Gonzaga because the public isn't gonna favor Washington stayed here.
It could be applicable in this case. Maybe you want
to wait on it. Oh and I see Garth has
made his way in Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, No for me personally, definitely no play in
that one right now. I'm gonna kind of see how
the day goes. But if Gonzaga takes what seems to
be there like daily bump, someone's gonna play back at
that move, just about guarantee it. If it steems and
gets to the point where suddenly we're back at the
opener or higher, I think you could start to look
toward Washington State. It's a big number that the Washington
State is very capable of at least not getting embarrassed
on their home floor. I think that's the point that
you know what, we'll probably leave that game with and
we'll move on.
Speaker 4: Garth.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring this one up, so we'll rob.
Youn know we're gonna we're gonna have a third play.
I just don't know how we're gonna do it. Maybe
it's something we agree on, maybe we agree with someone
in the chat. Maybe by you pops up or Garth
is competent in a play, we'll use theirs. I want
to do a three team er today because there's just
too many good games. We gotta get three. Got to
go back to a three team or today switch it up.
Garth brings up a game that I'm very interested in,
and he's got an interesting angle here because he's his
thoughts on Hawaii team total under eighty and a half
just seems too high for me. Second road game of
the season for the Bows. Yeah, the Hawaii really didn't
leave the island at all. In non conference play. They
hosted at MTE, they picked off games against some teams
that were coming over for the Maui and they pretty
much just rob. I believe they went to Oregon the
first game of the season open their season, and you
against Oregon in a game they almost won, and then
pretty much just posted up at the Stan Sheriff Center
for like two and a half months or two months
the travel. Now that Hawaii is in the Big West,
all they have to do is to go to California.
So it's not terrible for them in my opinion. But
what do you think about that? Because this was a
game that I kind of looked at at a glance
and said cal Poly might be able to keep this
close and there might be points here. So I don't
know if I agree with the under But I also,
you know, he's kind of asking, like, from a numericals perspective,
is at number too high? You're the totals guy, help
garth out Hawaii cal Poly late Night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, first off, anything involving cal Poly, I just don't
know if it's too high. You know, the speed they're
going to play at, the lack of defense that goes
with that. When you play high pace, it doesn't even
necessarily mean you're bad defenders. It just means that there's
always open space on the floor, there's always tempo. So
were cal Poly is concerned as far as defending or
preventing Hawaii from getting over eighty and a half.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I'm when I go to the two Hawaii road games
so far this season, go to Riverside score eighty eight.
Go to U see San Diego score seventy three. You
see San Diego is a better defensive team than cal
Poly is. So when you get seventy three, there can
you get eighty one here? Hawaii is a good enough
shooting team to do so.
Speaker 4: So it would be it would be difficult for me.
Speaker 3: I think if this game we're on the island, I
would lean more towards Hawaii home defense and Hawaii controlling
or dictating a little more of the pace. Just know
that Hawaii can go into this arena, into cal Poly's
home and sort of dictate and play at the tempo
and the style that they want to. If you want
to make the case that you think cal Poly could
stay under their team total because Hawaii has been so
good defensively, their metrics are off the chart defensively, then
you know I couldn't even do that because cal Poly
moves at such a rapid rate. Because cal Poly gets
the ball in the bucket and with them for me,
it always comes back.
Speaker 4: And this is just one solo game.
Speaker 3: But the game that they played earlier this season against UCLA,
where Ucla, I believe it was Sky Clark came out
at the half and said, we can't believe they play
that fast and they shoot that many threes, and then
Mick Cronin got on him in the locker room and
sort of leveled it off. But cal Poly was able
to get eighty seven on the road against that UCLA
defense and forced that game, by the way to a
one to ninety five final score total. And we know
Ucla is predicated in defense, so it's hard for me
Garth to go ahead and play the Hawaii team total under.
It's not to say it can't happen, but the fundamentals,
the styles, the matchups, the venue all tell me that
I'd be closing my eyes the entire time and maybe
not even watching, just checking back for a score and
praying that I'm still under eighty and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But cal Poly is one of those teams that your
boy is just not allowed to bet rob because every
time I bet cal Poly, I get a good number,
I beat like a two point move, and then they
get crushed if I don't bet them, they went out
right as an eight point dog. It's just one of
those teams that I cannot pick the right spots with.
Once again, here, I very much agree with the early money.
This opened seven. Looks like you're down to five and
a half makes complete sense. My I think my number,
I've got it right here, three point nine. So I
probably missed that one just from a straight up like
you know, had I had still had the opportunity to
take seven, I probably would bet that with cal Poly.
But at the same time, the concerns are for me
and I guess i'd be concerned for Garth is can
they stop Hawaii?
Speaker 2: You know they don't defend the rim at all, Hawaii.
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing about this Hawaii team, and that
you know I've gone and said, okay, well, Hawaii is
very good this year. So because they're good and everyone
knows they're good at home, you're paying like this massive premium.
Speaker 2: To back Hawaii. I was I was curious if.
Speaker 1: When they went on the road you'd get them at
a discount, because people are just so like the the
average better now is so tuned into home road splits
and playing the home spot. We've seen it all week.
It's been really, really difficult to get good numbers on
home teams, especially when they're like the spot type plays.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm.
Speaker 1: Almost wondering now five and a half, like, are we
just like I mean, you know what I mean, it's
like Hawaii. Is that Is that a cheap price on Hawaii?
I guess not for me because I made the number
three point nine. But still I'm a little bit tentative
of a hesitant to just play one of these lesser
teams against Hawaii because this year Hawaii is actually good.
In years past when they had bad teams, yeah, I
never had an issue fading them on the road. But
I think this Hawaii's tea team is good. And that's
my concern is that they score at will and just
overwhelmed cal Poly. At some point, if Polly can score,
they're gonna cover this number, but then it's gonna go over,
so that makes it tough. The game that I think
is gonna happen has a bunch of points in it,
so I think Garth, I'd probably say no to the under,
but hey, if you do get there with it, I
wish you.
Speaker 3: Walk well then Garth has an early number as well,
because the full game total has been pushed up six
points already from one fifty one and a half to
one fifty seven and a half, and the team total
Garth asked about is now eighty one and a half,
which gives him a little more room to stay under
and perhaps, I mean with cal Poly, I wouldn't say
that the line the total move upward is finished yet again,
it's a late cards start, plenty of time for more action. Obviously,
the syndicates, the early betting groups have gotten what they
wanted out of it. I don't know that they'll push
it all that much higher, but they still couldn't. The
game's probably not coming backwards unless somebody feels like it's
going to land in between those two numbers.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Garth. You've got extra room.
Speaker 3: You have eighty one and a half now, so if
you like it, you've got an extra point to work
with here. I would just be scared to play that
side under the number against this defense and at this
pace that I think is going to be played.
Speaker 1: At rob Alumni Jim last night in Lawrenceville had tremendous
WI FI, which was so huge for me because my
phone still didn't work. Of course, there was like a
massive Verizon outage yesterday that was affecting like the Philly
well actually it affected a lot of the country. And
I was so thrilled to show up and like the
Wi Fi was spectacular. So unfortunately for me, it meant
I got to watch all my games lose, well, you know,
just the two. I only had two last night. But
I hope because I can't stay away Rob, I hope
the same thing holds true tonight at the CQ Arena,
the SECU Arena, that's where That's where I'll be tonight.
Speaker 2: For Charleston Towson. Uh realize it's only like it's less.
Speaker 1: Than two hours from my sister's house, and you know,
I've never been to this building, so I can't stay
away by you, says he kind of likes Towson today.
Speaker 2: Might need someone to throw some cold water over my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My initial look here was where's the offense coming
from in this game? For either of these teams. Charleston's
been a little bit better. You noted a couple of
maybe a week week and a half ago, that Charleston
was gonna be better as they got some of their
guys back, and you've been very right about that four
and oho to start conference play.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest sort of you know, mind f's
this year so far from me, Rob, is Towson starting
one and four in the Coastal. I thought they probably
were going to win this league this year. They finally
get a win last time out against Northeastern, maybe by you.
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I kind of like Towson too, but
I don't know. I don't know if I can do it.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Rob Cider total here to you,
Charleston Towson from Maryland.
Speaker 3: To There's probably no way I play an over in
a thousand game in thousands building. Again, I'm repetitive about this,
but it's just one of the handicapping angles I use.
I always believe that if there's a contrast in styles,
that the home team will be the one to dictate
the tempo of the game more than half of it.
So if it's a forty minute game, I'm saying, you know,
some around twenty five, let's go twenty four to sixteen split,
the home team should at least have that much of
a favorable edge the way they want to play the game.
In that instance, it's going to be played way too slow.
And I just feel like slow teams affect quicker teams
in a negative way constantly. Now when we take a
look at what Charleston has gone through in the CIA
so far, no longer Colonial Athletic Association, last couple of years, Coastal. Now,
if we always have to catch myself, I show my
age when I say Colonial. But you know, you know,
Bill and Mary, you're supposed to go over against them.
You're supposed to put up one sixty seven as a
full game total. Elon won sixty six. But Charleston has
shown since they got their couple guys back, is they're
flexing their offensive muscle a little bit. Their tempo has
definitely increased. Last game against Hampton only a sixty three
possession game, but sixty three possessions because it was shot
because Hampton shot the ball so well from the field,
so it just limits the amount of possessions. I think
Charleston comes in here. Thousand's ready. Thousand's a really good team.
We talked about it before, a team that probably should
have been on top of the league as far as
preseason prognostications go and just failed miserably out of the
shoot but finally got the monkey off their back and
beat North Northeastern in their last outing. Now for thousand,
that was way too high of a scoring game for
their liking. It's a win sixty five against Northeastern Adam
And again I think I said I talked a little
about variants earlier, and this is all just you know,
this handicapping is not in exact science. But for me,
there's always a baseline number that a team's going to
be able to score, and then game to game you
have to watch the variants. For me, this would be
a normally, when I say bounce back, I mean they're
gonna score more. In this it would probably be a
pushback where I think thousand gets the game back down
into the category where they like it, especially against the team.
You know, when you're playing teams that you're better than,
or that you believe you're better than, your fear of
run with them is not as much. When you're playing
a team that's equal to or better than you, you
want to impose your will. I think that's probably what
happens here in this tousand game. We see the number
at one forty one and a half. For me, I
know Bayu brought this game up, but for me, we're
totally concerned that number. I think God's makers having a
really good place. I could see the game ending in
that area seventy two sixty nine something like that, which
makes it way too close. So I won't play. Money's
come in on Charleston personnel wise, they're better. Can they
overcome the contrast in style and what they're gonna face
here with a team that's really good as far as
league play is concerned and is off their first win,
probably a little bit of a confidence booster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will find a spot to play against Charleston,
like in the very near future, because I just like, listen,
they they're definitely better than what they you know, like
Coolby Dugan being back has been pretty huge for them.
Speaker 2: He had twenty two in his last game.
Speaker 1: And you know, to this, this team played a lot
of the non conference without Duggan, without Connor Hickman, mister
Dean has done for the year. So like tho, I mean,
that's like considerable losses. So to get two of those
guys back, you were very much right about that. Getting
those two back has been huge for them, but they
they've kind of had a favorable start to conference play.
You know, they're four and zern conference, but they beat Drexel,
Elon william and Mary Hampton. Like I guess William and
Mary's pretty good. Elon's been better than I thought, and
they won that game on the road. So again I'm
not I'm not like totally confident in my rating of
Charleston yet, you know, because obviously it's a it's a
different team than I thought it was gonna be at
the beginning of the season, different team than we saw
a non conference. Now they bring a couple of guys back,
they look better. But I like, this team, in my opinion,
is not running away with this league. On the other
side of the of the coin, Rob Towson to me,
is still better than a one and four team, but
they have they've got to find a way to put
the ball in the basket. It just, you know, I
really thought this year, Tyler Tahatta and you know, Dylan
Williamson were just gonna like make tough shots and be
able to like carry this team offensively.
Speaker 2: They really haven't done it.
Speaker 1: I mean, they they're getting their points right, sixteen point
seven points per game for Tahata Williamson averaging double figures.
But they really just you know, it hasn't translated to
wins recently. And then they've been without Doombia, So Jack
Doombia for Towson has missed the last two games.
Speaker 2: He was the other double digit scorer.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't really towsand can't really afford to
lose a double digit scorer, and they have the last
couple games. They don't have enough scoring to just lose
a guy like that. So possible that the Charleston money
maybe knows he's going to be out again. Also, I
also think people just saw and said Towson can't be
a favorite in this game because Charleston's better.
Speaker 2: Don't totally disagree with that either.
Speaker 1: My number came out tows and minus one, it's now
tows and minus one.
Speaker 2: I think this.
Speaker 1: I think Towson finds a way.
Speaker 2: They're such a tough team.
Speaker 1: If they can clean up the offensive glass, which I
think they might be able to do here, I think
they find a way to win this game. But I
just I don't know if I'm confident enough to fire
anything on it. We'll see if by you is I
know he's over there saying he he wants to do it,
but should be a pretty good game, probably well scoring.
That's the other thing I'll say about that one. Okay,
let's go back. Let's go back to the chat here.
You know what I'm I'm going to I'll give my
I said I was going to give a client playout
on the show, and I see.
Speaker 2: One moving a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just want to double check to the to the
point where I just I think this is the one
I'll give because it's we're gonna be able to just
put the money line in the parlay. So I want
to talk cal Baptist Abilene Christian whack basketball Tonight, Rob Bino,
I played Abilene Christian minus one fifteen.
Speaker 2: They've taken a little bit of money.
Speaker 1: That was what I kind of saw as I try
to like check the odd screen out of the corner
of my eye.
Speaker 4: I'm down.
Speaker 2: I'm down a screen today. So it's uh.
Speaker 1: The good news is we won't have the people in
the chat say, what's Trig looking at off to the
left and off to the right, because I don't have
that other screen.
Speaker 4: Rob.
Speaker 1: The bad news is I kind of have to keep
toggling to see the board. But Steve Duke said, yeah,
it was a good case for a pass on the
towsing game. That we're here to talk these games out
and you know, try to give you different angles so
you can make the best decision possible.
Speaker 2: That being said, we're also here to give.
Speaker 1: Out picks, and I'm going to give out Abilene Christian
minus one fifteen.
Speaker 2: I'm good with any money line. I think it's up
to like minus one thirty.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be by parlay leg It's a four percent
play for me for clients. I've got at least one
of those, or at least two of those today, So
I'm gonna give one out here on the show, Rob
a couple things here. So I got to see cal
Baptists play a couple of weeks ago at Tarleton State.
Tarlton won that game. I bet Tarlton in that game.
And what I like to do against cal Baptists, I've
said this on the show a couple of times. If
you have guards that can clamp down Baptist guards, you're
gonna have a really good chance to win. And Abilene
Christian plays outstanding perimeter defense. Their guards can defend, and
I think they're gonna do a really good job on
cal Baptist guards. Now those two Dom Daniels Martel Williams, uh,
very good players. But mart Martel did not play last game,
which is a huge concern if you're cal Baptist. If
Martel Williams is still out here, which I have no
idea if he is or not. I just know he
didn't play his last game. I don't see anyway cal
Baptist wins this game on the road without him. It's uh,
there's a you know, we talked about travel in Conference USA.
ROB It's hard to win on the road in the
Whack too, and cal Baptist kind of gets the short
short end of the stick in that regard because they
have to go to Texas a couple of different times.
Speaker 2: It's it's one of the longer trips in the league.
Uh there.
Speaker 1: If you know, there's seven teams in the LAFT right now,
and like four them or three or four of them
are still in Texas. Cal Baptist is all the way
in Riverside, California. So no matter what, they're either going
to travel to Utah to some altitude in most cases,
or they're gonna have to travel to Texas, and this
is their second Texas trip in quick succession, because they
were just there a couple of weeks ago. So you know,
I look at this game, I say Baptist has to
go on the road. Abilene, in my opinion, does what
Tarleton does better than Tarleton does it in their ability
to defend. Like Billy Geleepsi and his guards play really Gillespie.
I always say his name wrong too. Those guards play
really good defense. Ableen's argue'll be better, and now cal
Baptist might be without one of Really, they only have
two super creative players on the team. It's Daniels and
it's Martel. You take one of those guys off the floor,
I don't see how cal Baptist has any chance to
win if he plays. I still don't think they win.
So I took Abilene Christian on the money line here.
Speaker 3: And they struggled with Southern Utah without him. Last Utah
is not a very good basketball team at all. Into
Abilene Christian's credit, Like you mentioned about the guards clamping down, they.
Speaker 4: Forced a lot of turnovers.
Speaker 3: You have to be good with the basketball against that team.
Abilene Christian, probably you know needs two and a half
shots to make one. They haven't shot the ball well
this year, but if the other team's coming up with
empty possessions, it makes a difference A and the amount
they can score and B and how close Abiline can
keep this game. So let's roll with that as once
you know what. Let's just I'm gonna get off for
a second and to the chat. If I'm wrong here tonight,
I promise I'll go back to team totals. But I
wanted our game totals because last night I think I
had FIU game over and it went sailing over.
Speaker 4: And it's what I'm best at. But I just saw
one tonight. We're gonna lock in.
Speaker 3: This to at least two parts of this parlay, now, Adam.
Speaker 4: This is simply from.
Speaker 3: A matchup standpoint where I like the home team South
Alabama plus three and a half against Arkansas State.
Speaker 4: Again, it's one of those games that falls into.
Speaker 3: The category that I talked about earlier where I like,
not that I like, but I do think that home
teams with contrasting styles, especially if the home team is
a slow paced team, affects a quicker pace squad, and
I think that's what we have here in the case
of Arkansas State against South Alabama. Arkansas State, for what
it's worth, we've talked about them enough this year. I've
been you know, they've been pretty good to me as
far as payouts, cashing tickets has been concerned this year.
They want to get up and down the floor. They
play at a fast pace. South Alabama with Richie Riley
head coach, the exact opposite slow tempo if you want
exact numbers, three seventeen and adjusted an adjusted offensive tempo.
But how about this, the three hundred and sixty five
Division one teams that are beedible that we cover here,
they're three hundred they were well, let's say that they
keep the opponent to the three hundred and sixtieth slowest
average time of possession. They make you work on that
end almost nineteen full seconds. It's not what Arkansas State
wants to do whatsoever. I talk often about comp game
and they come right off of one. They just played
Georgia Southern. South Alabama did Georgia Southern again, another one
of those NATO's two point zero teams, right assistant coach
there at Georgia Southern. What happens South Alabama wins that
game eighty seven to seventy one on this floor by
sixteen against a team that wants to do what Arkansas
State does, get up and down, score a lot of points.
Don't want to be bothered harassed. On the defensive end,
transition defense for South Alabama, really good shot making when
it counted against a team that plays the same was
really good. They almost got to ninety points. I'm gonna
take my chances that they come through and do it again.
Both of these teams are twelve and five, by the way,
so it's two good teams. It's not like you're betting
a poor home underdog here. Arkansas State just getting a
little bit more respect power rating wise than South Alabama
is at this point in time inside the conference. Arkansas
State four and one, South Alabama three and two. A
South Alabama win here at home, which I think they
would have this targeted as one that they want to win,
we'll put them in a tie with Arkansas State, potentially
in second place if Georgia Southern were to lose their
next game. So for me, it's going to be take
the points with the contrasting home dog that's already proven
that they can beat this style of team as recently
as this past weekend. So give me South Alabama in
this parlay adam at plus three and a half.
Speaker 4: And again, if.
Speaker 3: I'm wrong tonight, guys in the chat, I apologize, and
tomorrow I guarantee you we'll get back to totals. But
I just this one shapes up all the ingredients here
signal to me that this should be a home underdog
cover if not straight up win.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really like that too.
Speaker 1: You talk about cover, can't believe you're getting three and
a half here. I actually make this South Alabama minus one. Yeah,
that's why I had South Alabama minus one. So the
fact that you're getting a full possession in a matchup
South Alabama at home. Matchup's definitely gonna favor South Alabama
because it's they They have the ability to negate everything
as you were saying that that Arkansas State wants to do,
and they're you know, they're they're probably gonna be able
to score against this Arkansas State team. So why even
overthink it more than that? I feel like there's nothing
else that even needs to be said. You're getting a
great number. I think that's a fantastic bet. I'm glad
you're using it in the parlay. I like that one
as well. All right, let's move on Garth this back in,
but he brings up a game that a whole bunch
of you guys want to talk about. Jose Perez jumped in,
says Elon rolls tonight. Reguards's thoughts on Elon minus three
and a half already a rematch, Yeah, it's crazy. We
had one the other day. We actually had one last
night in conference to USA. It's crazy that we're almost
to the part of the year where you might see
some teams playing for the second time. This, I believe
is Elon up at the UH. I don't know the
name of the building yet, Rob, because they just moved there.
But North Northeastern has a small on campus facility that
they will be playing home games at for probably the
next year and a half or so. Matthew's Arena, of course,
has closed finally, which is sad. That place was built
in nineteen ten, one of the most historic arenas in
the entire country for any sport, and they finally closed
it down. So Northeastern back on campus tonight they take
on Elon the first meeting. Rob, you're a totals guy.
The first meeting was one oh three to ninety one
down in Elon. Northeastern won that game. I gotta be honest,
Elon's been way better than I thought they were going
to be this year. I thought, you know, losing Matthew
Van Coleman and some of the guys that they had
on that team last year, I had Elon way downgraded
coming into the year. This team's been pretty good and
they've kind of done it with scoring. They said, okay,
well maybe we can't be the super defensive zone type
team that we were last year.
Speaker 2: No problem, We're just gonna go out and score points.
Garth likes Elon. What do you think here, Cider.
Speaker 3: Total, you know, real quick, just to your first thoughts
in your analysis. The building that they're going to play
in tonight Northeaston is called Cabot Center. It's the absolute
smallest attendance in Division one, eight hundred and twelve capacity.
Speaker 1: Even will get I know it's on my list, Rob,
I gotta get over there.
Speaker 2: I gotta get to be.
Speaker 3: One of these, have to be one of these eight
to twelve that get into the place. You want to
talk about quaint and cozy that's quaint and cozy, and
if Northeastern were a better team, then perhaps you would
find really good home results. I mean, it's just the
kind of place where home results should correlate to better
than what Northeastern has produced so far back to back losses. Now,
again let's preface it by saying UNC Wilmington may be
the best team in the league.
Speaker 4: They lose to them here. Thousand.
Speaker 3: We just talked about how we both believe in how
preseason prognostications believe that Towsand was going to be in
the mix.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 3: They've gotten off to a rugged start, but they lose
to them in this building. It's their third straight home
it's a revenge game. And again I'm just rattling off
things why potentially Northeastern could be there.
Speaker 4: It's a brand new shooting venue for Elon.
Speaker 3: Although the first two teams in didn't seem to have
a lot of trouble, scoring eighty seven each. I talked
earlier about toosand not being a fast paced team. They
scored eighty seven in this building. So Elon is Elon's
kind of sacrificed defense for offense. I went back really
quick earlier this morning and just checked Billy Taylor, the
head coach's numbers since he's been at Elon, and it's
by far, by far the most offensively efficient team he's
had in four years.
Speaker 4: It's not close.
Speaker 3: I think that the adjusted offensive the closest was fourteen
percent lower than what it is this year. They don't
go necessarily quick as far as length of possession is concerned,
but they shoot it really, really well at him, and
that's probably I hate to be so simplistic, but sometimes
basketball is just a game of making shots, right, And
for this side on Elon, they make shots. The other
team doesn't. Northeastern, actually they don't make them at the
rate Elon makes them. They make enough they couldn't quite
outscore them the first time one O three ninety one.
Is there a thirteen point Well, let me just check
the exact number that we're dealing with here on this game,
so I can give you a good accurate Yeah, you're
getting well pushed up to three and a half now, Okay,
So what you have to ask yourself is there are
ten points worth of difference than what happened the first
time because Northeastern's home here and maybe they have a
little bit of revenge. I don't know if there's ten.
I mean, if there's six, seven, eight, nine points worth
of difference, you still don't cover. Actually that goes update
six seven or eight, you still don't cover. So it's
hard to get to the Northeastern side. I would think
you go ahead and play Elon, but more than that,
and this total was probably priced too high to begin with,
at one sixty four and a half because one of
three ninety one is a little bit of a one off.
It looks really good, but you have to consider the fact.
And again, guys in the chat, you'll hear me say
this all season long, but coaches love to fix what
went wrong the first time. If possible, Gonna go back
to the game tape, gonna say, how did we give
up one O three? How can we prevent giving up
one O three? The other side's gonna say, well, you
know what, we gave up ninety one, but we still
won by twelve. So I don't know how much we
have to change. The regression could be on the Elon's
side if Northeaster comes up with answers. It could also
be that they're not good enough to come up with answers.
Total has been pushed down by four full points. Somebody
thinks it's not going to get the sixty four and
a half. I don't know that that somebody is me.
I'd probably look Elon's way, Adam. I don't see this
game reversing by, like I said, more than eight points
off of what it did the first time, which was
Elon win by twelve. So no play but a lean
on the Elon's side minus the point. So I'll agree
with the line move probably. You know, if you got
in early, congratulations you got a way better number.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer my two cents here, and while
I do that, I want to see if the chat
wants to make this the third leg of the part
by using Elon money line. It would basically be like
splitting the difference, right. I think we both agree on Elon.
It feels like the chat kind of leans that way,
and then we'll just go moneyline and ask them to win,
not have to cover because we're doing a three team
er anyway. The thing I want to point out here
is Yuri Fritz got hurt two minutes into that Towising game,
and I think, if nothing else, just forget just you
already handicapped the game perfectly. I don't even need to
go into that. At what point can Northeastern can't lose
another play? It's like, how many players can they lose
before you have to like plummet their raiding off the cliff. Remember,
la Pratt was supposed to be their best player. He
gets hurt three games into the season. They've been without
Xander Alaiin since mid December. Fritz has been their leading scorer.
He was up to eleven point five points per game.
Former Canisius Golden Griff Rob he was really good at Canisius.
He's been at Northeastern the last two years. This year
finally getting a chance to play. I don't think he's
gonna play. As far as I know, he's not playing tonight.
You know, he went out two minutes into that game.
I don't think that's totally baked in here to the
number either you talk about you know that, I mean,
right there, they that's arguably three of the most impactful
players on Northeastern's roster and in this league, in some
of these lesser leagues. I just don't think those injuries
get baked in quick enough. You know, obviously the first
two perhaps been gone all season for the most part.
A Lair's been gone since mid December. But now you
lose another guy that's really been like doing the majority
of your scoring, and Elon dropped one oh three on
you last time out, and you're supposed to have enough firepower.
Speaker 2: To win this game. I kind of think Elon wins.
I may even lay this.
Speaker 1: I mean that that three and a half doesn't even
seem that that crazy at this point, knowing that he's
probably out.
Speaker 2: And for me, I think.
Speaker 1: Personally, I've just been wrong on Elon. I think I
had them rated way too low coming into the year
because of some of the guys. They laughed, but you
pointed out they have their most efficient offense that they've
had ever.
Speaker 2: Under Billy Taylor.
Speaker 1: So why would we not just throw Elon moneyline in
and close out the parley making a three teamer like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah that's my rhetorical ty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just to be fair where head coaching is concerned.
And I said, coaches love to fix what went wrong.
Bill Cohen's not in his twentieth year at Northeastern for
no reason. This is an excellent head coach who's dealing
with a shorthanded roster right. So his game plan, his
blueprint to win here is try and shorten this game
as best you can, try and chop off as many
off of that one oh three that his team gave
up the first time as you can, and hope that
you hang around in this new gym, hope that maybe
Elon comes in here and you know, finds the shooting difficult.
But as I mentioned earlier, the two teams that have
been had them, they found no difficulties scoring eighty seven
points either.
Speaker 4: One of them, Wilmington nor thousand. So it's good.
Speaker 3: It's like climbing Mount Everest here for for uh Northeastern
in the in the personnel shape that they're in right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of those teams, as you said, is Towson,
who who hadn't been able to score against anyone you know,
prior to that game last weekend. So yeah, unless you
know Jose Peress as Elon rolls, I trust him, I
trust Garth. So unless someone comes up with something better
in the next ten minutes, that's gonna be the third league.
We'll go Elon moneyline for the third leg of our parlay.
We still got some time, so let's get in. Oh
you know what we by you brings up one. You
said you want to talk about this next time it
popped up, So let's talk about it. William and Mary
team total uh was going to be a target for you.
I don't know, did you did you get them? Did
you get your money in that already? I think we
brought this up about a week ago. I know they
played over the weekend, but you have another chance again
here they're a favorite tonight.
Speaker 2: What do you think William and Mary?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they stood me up again, Adam and I lessened
the bet the third time around, just to see because
it could have been a matter of being overpriced, right,
You never know, Like you say, the odds makers probably
sharper nowadays than ever, and the numbers that they put
up are difficult to beat.
Speaker 4: So you know what, as stubborn as.
Speaker 3: I am of Italian heritage known to be style, baged
my head against the brick wall, and I bagged it
against the brick wall one more time tonight. I do
think Balu's onto something. I'm back with William and Mary
in this particular matchup he's talking about in this If
I'm reading it right, are you better off laying the
quarter and playing eighty over eighty seven and a half.
Speaker 4: Then you are.
Speaker 3: Taking a cheaper viig at one oh five and moving
it up to eighty eight and a half where you
have to score eighty nine points. And I'm not sure
I would dis agree with that is the twenty cents
worth one point though in my estimation with William and Mary. No,
if William and Mary's got I'll probably have to come
on here tomorrow and retract everything I'm about to say.
But I'm going to say that if William and Mary's
good enough to get to eighty eight in this matchup
against A and T North Carolina A and T, then
they're good enough to get to eighty nine.
Speaker 4: Now, some of the things that held them back.
Speaker 3: I go back a couple of games to the Charleston
game which I had the team that was the first
one that started this run of team totals that have
stayed under I think that number was maybe eighty one
and a half eighty two and a half.
Speaker 4: Boy, they missed a lot of shots. I remember telling you.
Speaker 3: In a comeback effort, late drive to the rim, lay up, miss,
get the rebound, go to the free throw line for
a one in one miss, come back shoot at three miss.
They had every opportunity to go over in that game Monmouth,
they just didn't score. I thought, okay, bounce back is coming.
But it was against Drexel, which again, sometimes slow teams
affect fast teams. I think it happened there. I don't
know that A and T is going to be able
to on William and Mary's home floor, be able to
prevent William and Mary from doing what they do best.
So yes, by you, I'm back in on that side here.
Actually was a client release today, and if I were you,
I would just you know, I'll say what I did
or what I would do. I would go ahead and
play over eighty eight and a half at the cheaper price,
because I don't think the one point's going to make
a difference in this matchup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a oh yeah, I figured out the
game that this reminded me of yesterday, so kind of
reminds me. We broke down UCLA Penn State yesterday, and
I kind of made the point when we talked about
that game. You know, Penn State played you know, three
really good games and it's like, did they use it
all up? And it looked like they did, right, they
were second best last night, I ended up losing the
game by eleven h. This is a n C A
and T team, rob that doesn't have much talent. Okay,
Like last last year, all their talented players unfortunately were
trying to shave points. Okay, But then they left the
school and and and they were left with what I
consider to be probably a better team.
Speaker 2: If you were just like gonna define the word team.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have things actively working against you
inside your locker room. But you know, guys like Camie
and Shell, Guys like Landon Glasper who I think transferred
to Southern Myss and it's sitting out a year. Jonathan
Lemom who is in the same conferences now at UNC Wilmington.
You know, those were like that was like the talent
on this roster this year. You gotta you got a
group of guys that will absolutely go out there and
give you an effort, but they just don't have the talent.
And now you look at their last couple of games
now that they're in conference play, great effort against Wilmington,
came up short.
Speaker 2: Uh, Northeastern.
Speaker 1: We just kind of talked about that Northeastern team not
really being a great team. Again, they give an effort
at stony Brook, they come up short, cover but come
up short. Last time out, give an effort against Elon,
they cover, but they come up short. You can only
do that for so long until you there's a game
where you just get absolutely blitzed by a team that's better,
that has more talent, and I think that's this team, Rob.
I think William and Mary, especially on their home court.
As all of my lights die, but that's okay. We
only have an over here, like like by a campfire. Now,
I don't know how all of my lights just die.
Probably should charge them anyway, like I got the flashlight
by camp fire, Rob. But that's all right, we'll deal
with it for the last five minutes. Point is, I
think William and Mary could just destroy them tonight. I
actually think you could lay it. I think you could
lay the thirteen and a half. I think that's too low.
Speaker 4: I made it.
Speaker 1: I made this fifteen point two. I just checked my numbers,
so not the you know, usually look for a little
bit bigger of a discrepancy on a higher point favorite,
but I think this is a spot where.
Speaker 2: The tribe maybe even cheered on.
Speaker 1: By Steve Maryland person, because I know he goes to
a lot of the home games.
Speaker 2: Maybe even Steve Merrill helps us get that one home.
Speaker 1: But yeah, William and Mary buy you in the chat,
says smash Spot. I think that's a great way to
put it. I think they probably roll tonight. All right,
we still have a couple of minutes left.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 2: You know what, rob this one.
Speaker 1: I nearly made this the feature and then realized that
would probably you know, couldn't couldn't not make Gonzaga the
feature tonight just because they're you know, they're a top
ten team in the country. I want to talk New
Mexico State liberty because it's a nationally televised game, one
of the first games off the board. And you know,
I still think there's merit to the discussion we brought
up yesterday. It is really tough to win on the
road in this league with the mileage these teams are logging.
Speaker 2: And then just look at what happens last night.
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee State up by like twenty at half, just
absolutely rolling.
Speaker 2: But they also went to El Paso.
Speaker 1: And Las Cruzes the week before, come out in the
second half completely run on a gas score eighteen points
and Louisiana Tech comes back and gets the win. Just
another example of how difficult it's going to be to
win on the road in this league. New Mexico State
comes all the way to Lynchburg, Virginia tonight in a
matchup that I don't think is great for New Mexico State.
Rob Am, I crazy to want to lay it with
the Liberty Flames in this game.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Again, Liberty is a team that
shoots it so well, Adam, and you put them on
their home floor. This is the second time, by the way,
second time that New Mexico State has gone into or
taken a flight for a two game road trip inside
the conference, but this one covers more distance. The first
one was to Florida and then the ur not as
bad as being.
Speaker 4: A Virginia Delaware trip.
Speaker 3: This is a hike for New Mexico State coming from
Las Cruisers, so we'll see how they handle it. Obviously, they've,
like I say, had one before, but it just hasn't
been as substantial distance wise as this one is. Richie
McKay's team shoots the basketball so well from three. The
first thing I always check when I'm looking at Liberty
opponents is how well do they defend the three New
Mexico State Pretty good at that, pretty good at defense
all around, which goes to their tradition, to their nature,
they're usually a good defensive team. However, they don't put
the ball in the basket, and you just wonder how
many empty trips New Mexico State can have and survive
on the other end against a team that shoots it
this well. Liberty had a little bit of a stint
here Adam where they weren't scoring up to their capability,
but they're certainly scoring now. And it's one of those
interesting contrasts that I spoke of a couple of days ago,
were just because they play at a way, at a
pedestrian style pace, doesn't mean you can't score when you're
as efficient as Liberty is. They just make shots, and defensively,
it's tough to have to cover these guys as long
as you have to.
Speaker 4: I just feel like at some point.
Speaker 3: In this game, New Mexico State's defense wears out.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 3: There's subject to being on the wrong end of a
run from the Flames here, so I wouldn't look to
the New Mexico State side travel is also a thing,
and real quick because we won't be able to talk
about it tomorrow on Friday Show because the game will
go Saturday. If, for instance, New Mexico State does come
up with a big performance here, I'd be more than
willing to bet Delaware on Saturday as they take the
second leg of this trip. So something to look at,
guys in these Conference USA two game road trips first result.
Sometimes you can counter punch on the second game as well.
But I would look Liberty this game up muted, muted,
got some light back for a minute.
Speaker 1: These clip on lights are the best I've ever used
for this, but you do have to charge them and
when you forget, they die. So that's what happened to
me right there. As far as this game is concerned.
You know, last year Liberty won these two matchups by
eight and ten. Didn't really shoot the ball particularly well
in either, so you know, putting them in their home
gym tonight, you got to think that they they probably
had a chance to shoot it better. If they do,
I would be you know, part of the reason I
played Middle Tennessee State against New Mexico State over the
weekend was New Mexico State had just been giving anything
and everything up from three and Middle Tennessee State sort
of had their way in that game. They were able
to get the shots they wanted. They went to Las
Crusis and won, which is very impressive because we've talked
about how hard it is to win games on the
road in this league. You know, I don't know what
the tally is right now, but going into Saturday it
was twenty and four, and it can't be much better.
I know there's been a couple, but it can't be
much better than that this point. So New Mexico State
having to come all the way from Las Cruzes to
Lynchburg if Liberty's putting.
Speaker 2: The ball in the baskets, and then I think this
one could get ugly.
Speaker 1: So I'm strongly considered Liberty minus eight and a half
in this game. And Rob, I'm supposed to promo, So
I think we the you guys have requested us our
presence on Saturday, and I believe wager Talk is gonna
make that happen. So I think this week I'll be
on last call with Kelly, but then in future weeks
I'm supposed to do promo. The fact that we will
start to do a Saturday show as we get deep
into conference play. You know, it would be impossible to
get as in the weeds as we do on this
show because there's so many games. But at worst we're
gonna come on and hit some of the big games.
Take a couple of chat questions, so look out for that.
I think I will be on this Saturday again. I
should probably know this before I come on the show
and talk about it, but keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 2: The other thing again.
Speaker 1: One more time before I close this show out and
recap the parlay is Rob and I have our three
Days special. It is every college basketball play either Rob
or I makes for three days. And we found out
yesterday that if you send Customer Support a nice email,
say hi to the girls at Customer Support that do
such a tremendous job, they'll give you a full season
rate on that as well. So you know that is
an option too, And maybe we'll get that up on
the page, just so it's offered on the page.
Speaker 2: We'll have to talk about that.
Speaker 1: But Rob Vino three team or today, just to switch
it up, someone in the chat asked Treg would you
still play Ablene Christian minus two? Yeah, you can but like,
if it's minus one thirty, I think I'd rather have
the money line. In that scenario, the money line is
what we're putting into the parlay. So Rob Veno is
gonna go with South Alabama plus three and a half.
I'm gonna go with Abilene Christian on the money line.
I called it minus one thirty, and then we're gonna
put elon minus one sixty five.
Speaker 2: Rob and I agree. The chat seems to agree.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a consensus sort of chat play on Elon.
That's gonna be the third leg plus four forty odds.
Let's see if we can get it going today.
Speaker 2: Either way.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow ten am Eastern to talk to
Friday Slate. Good luck today, everyone, Let's cash some tickets.
We'll see you guys tomorrow
