1
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in in his time for full court press,

2
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:11,240
I can't talk. I don't remember what day it is.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: Rob.

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was Thursday up until about two minutes

5
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:19,879
ago and realized it's only Wednesday. But off air, as

6
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,519
people file in, I'll throw this out to the chat.

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,839
I'm curious to see what you guys think. Two minutes

8
00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:29,760
and thirty two seconds down eleven last night, and I

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,679
would say so. The KFC Youm Center in Louisville, Kentucky

10
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:38,359
holds twenty two thousand people. It is the biggest Division

11
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,600
one venue in the country behind.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: Syracuse for fan capacity.

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: There were some seats in the upper deck last night,

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,799
but that's to be you know, that's understandable with kids,

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,359
you know, at school not in session. Still probably over

16
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,920
twenty thousand there. It was pretty much sold out, pretty

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,960
much full. Not sold out, but pretty much full. I

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,479
asked Rob off air, and I'll let him answer on

19
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:03,439
the show because we were I realized it was ten am,

20
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,319
down eleven, two minutes and thirty two seconds left at home,

21
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,480
one of your biggest games of the season, and like

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,200
seven thousand Louisville fans took off. I mean, it was

23
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:16,239
like a mass exodus to the to the gates. I

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,000
thought that was crazy. Two minutes and thirty two seconds left,

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,920
I get it. If there's like forty seconds left, I

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,959
get it. Or if you're down twenty, you're down eleven.

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,439
That's not insurmountable. Rob Am, I like crazy to be like,

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,879
feel like if I'm gonna like if I'm Pat Kelsey,

29
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:30,319
I'm annoyed.

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: Where's everyone go? It's an eleven point game.

31
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you probably have a couple of timeouts in

32
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:39,280
your pocket to boot two thirty two plus timeouts and

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,799
you know, you don't see it every day, Adam. And

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,959
I'm not trying to say Louisville could have done this,

35
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,280
but I saw Texas A and M last night.

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: Go I'm in.

37
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,599
Speaker 3: Eleventh to nothing run in twenty eight seconds and it

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,799
was crazy. So you could probably get yourself a six

39
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:56,359
to ozho run and get back right back in the game,

40
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:00,799
or a seven ozero run where threes are concerned. You

41
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,920
can do that quickly. A couple of misfree throws on

42
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:05,680
the other end and you score. So yeah, it is

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,280
kind of nuts to take off that early. Louisville is

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,000
a pretty devoted fan base too, so it seems kind

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,520
of strange, but they might have had huge expectations walking

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,199
in last night and they lived the high life for

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,520
a little while, and then when it went south, they

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,319
were like, you know, what time to go.

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,719
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I felt like. I posted the

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,280
video of that exact moment on x so if you

51
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,039
want to see what I'm talking about, it is on

52
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,080
I even posted the time left, and I kind of

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,560
couldn't believe that everyone was just taking off at that moment. Rob,

54
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,319
You're right, like, first half, second half, two totally different games.

55
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,039
Speaker 2: But Louisville hit ten threes in the first half.

56
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:48,759
Speaker 1: They hit ten threes, so you mean to think that, yeah,

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,199
you get a couple at the end, Suddenly it's a

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,159
foul game and it's a close game. But we were

59
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:56,599
just kind of bantering a little bit waiting for people

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,840
to file in apple Lash year as an apple I see.

61
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,120
I told you, Rob can't get this word. It's Appalachian

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,840
apple lash. And Betsy is Wyoming put it on UNLV

63
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,120
last night. Yes they did. Garth was all over that one.

64
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,439
That was a great call. We talked about that on

65
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:18,719
the show yesterday. I'm gonna transition into into today's features,

66
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,520
so I always there's always a method to my madness.

67
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: Rob.

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: If I had I stayed in Texas a little bit longer,

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,360
which I always, I just fly by the seat of

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560
my pants. I rarely have an actual plan, if you know,

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,319
I have some family and friends down there, So if

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,759
had I stayed another day or whatever, then this would

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,719
have been my target on the way back for like

74
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,360
a big game. But it wasn't, so I'll be home

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,719
in a little bit. But there is still a big

76
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,680
game tonight down in Nashville, which is also on the route,

77
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:48,400
so that's you know again, I would have had to

78
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:52,520
pass through there, eventually passing through there tonight, Rob will

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,919
be the Alabama Crimson tide. And this is a big one.

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,639
Two really good teams, two great offenses. Alabama Vandy Memorial

81
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:03,919
Jim Tonight. How are you seeing this one?

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think first and foremost, I'd love to know

83
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:11,080
whether or not Duke Miles is making his return for Vanderbilt.

84
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,919
Speaker 1: I think he is. I'm pretty sure he's playing as

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,959
you speak. I'll try to find that, but I think

86
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:17,279
he is.

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've read where.

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,439
Speaker 3: Byington thought that he could be ready to go for

89
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,240
this one, which could be huge for Vanderbilt, which has,

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,240
you know, played without Duke Miles and Frankie Collins and

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,920
will continue to play without Frankie Collins for a while.

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,839
I think he's out for a couple more weeks, but

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,639
just getting one of those guys back on Duke Miles

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,399
would be huge.

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: Take some of the.

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,399
Speaker 3: Burden off point guard Tyler Tanner, who was phenomenal Saturday

97
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:51,199
in their win. Lucky for Vanderbilt, I would say that

98
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:55,920
thus couple of games, they haven't really faced extreme competition,

99
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:57,639
so they've been able to get away with it, and

100
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:00,079
so you'd like to have Miles back tonight.

101
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: In this one.

102
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:04,199
Speaker 3: But I might be sliding South Carolina a little bit there,

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,199
and I shouldn't. Vanderbilt did Saturday wired a wire, pretty impressive,

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,439
and again Tanner was an absolute beast that point guard.

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
This is the heavyweight clash I think everybody's been waiting

106
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,639
for in the SEC this early part of the season.

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,759
Both teams so great offensively. Alabama dealing with a couple

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,759
of injuries themselves, but I think they'll be pretty whole

109
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,759
here tonight. Maybe a loss of a little bit of height,

110
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:31,480
but they should be good.

111
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I saw a.

112
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: Postgame interview with Aiden Holloway after Alabama's win the other day,

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,519
and he said that Alabama and there were like four

114
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,519
Bama kids around the microphone, and their thought process is,

115
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,360
we haven't really gotten to as good as we are yet.

116
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,319
I somewhat believe because they haven't been great defensively at

117
00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:59,240
this point in time, but boy, they've been put through

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680
the grinder. As far as schedule is concerned. They match

119
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:08,000
up really well with Vanderbilt. Vandy has a back down

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,079
from anything this year, and I think that the common

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,879
perception of Vandy would be, you know, they're probably a

122
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,160
little slow, They're probably this, they're probably.

123
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: It's not the case.

124
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:24,399
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is a top notch basketball team in all facets

125
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:26,160
this year, so this is going to be really good.

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,240
I think with Miles back, my question, my problem would be,

127
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:32,839
and I've talked about this before.

128
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,959
Speaker 2: I think when Syracuse.

129
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,519
Speaker 3: Got Donnie Freeman back, I had said this, but you

130
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,519
do wonder if the cohesion is there right away.

131
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:46,759
Speaker 2: It should be.

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,639
Speaker 3: I would think Vanderbilt is a pretty well run machine

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,040
at this point in time. This total is in outer

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000
space right now. One I think I saw this morning,

135
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,040
So that's and it's approachable. Believe it or not, it's

136
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,800
approachable with these two teams. My tendency here, Adam, my

137
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,160
thought is to try and take the underdog plus the

138
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,120
points here four and a half. I just feel like

139
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,000
Alabama has been through so many tests so far this

140
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,680
year that this is nowhere near a step up in class.

141
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: They've seen this.

142
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:22,639
Speaker 3: Type of this caliber of opponent so far this season,

143
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720
and they can score right with Vanderbilt. The question is

144
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,879
going to become who plays better on defense and are

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,839
Vanderbilt's players just to shade worn out? Mark Byington commented

146
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,600
on this, saying he's had to play guys excessive minutes

147
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,040
with the absences of Collins and Miles, So again, getting

148
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Miles back into the lineup would be huge as far

149
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,279
as minutes and rotation is concerned. But I think Alabama

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,519
is more than capable of enough of staying within four

151
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:51,959
and a half no matter who's on the floor for

152
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,319
Vandy toff Jim Memorial Gymnasium. I mean, I don't know

153
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,319
if you've been there before, but if you have, you

154
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,759
know Alreadynybody who's.

155
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Watching on TV knows.

156
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: It's difficult when you're trying to tell your team from

157
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,519
ninety feet away.

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: What to do offensively or defensively.

159
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: It's not easy, but I think Natos's squad has a

160
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,279
little bit in the tank here, so I'm going to

161
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,800
try out. Would if I were to play, I would

162
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:17,519
try Alabama plus points?

163
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:20,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I would have.

164
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: I had not been there, so that was you know,

165
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:25,439
it was going to be either or Louisville or Vandy.

166
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,959
Speaker 2: Louisville just fit my schedule better on the way home.

167
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: If it you know, if you made me pick, like,

168
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,840
if it worked out like that would have been the choice.

169
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,279
Because again it's a very unique venue. You talked about

170
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,440
Vandy being great, there being a tough you know, and

171
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,200
they're good. That is a very very difficult place to

172
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,600
go and play Vanderbilt. I was going to say they're

173
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,600
seven to zh at home this season, Rob, but they

174
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,919
also haven't lost a single game. They're fourteen to oh,

175
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:51,480
so the target very much on their back. I think

176
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Miles is massive to the handicap here. I have written down,

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,919
so again I'll have to go back and double check

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,080
my source on that one, but I have written down

179
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,399
that Miles will play, and that's important for too. I

180
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360
think that if he's in this game, even with this

181
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,960
obnoxiously high number is probably going over. Like so, I

182
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,279
I probably watched the most Duke Miles during his season

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,559
at high Point that that was I was watching a

184
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,559
lot of high Point basketball that year. And he is

185
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,320
just he himself, is just a tempo pusher right Like

186
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,919
he's gonna just him on the floor, even if like

187
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:30,679
is gonna make teams faster. And then you talk about

188
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:33,240
Vandy and their offensive efficiency being as good as you're

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000
gonna find in the country. They have as efficient of

190
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,080
an offense as you will find in college basketball. And

191
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,759
who's Vandy's leading scorer. It's Duke Miles with seventeen point

192
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,080
one points per game, hitting nearly fifty percent from the field.

193
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

194
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is huge for Vandy, and if he is

195
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,720
in I think I will slightly lean to Vandy, though

196
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,159
I'm not confident on that at all because as we know,

197
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
I think you found a good quote, Rob, I don't

198
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:00,480
think we've seen the best that all of Bama can

199
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:02,600
bring just yet either, and so I don't really know.

200
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:05,000
I want to lay points against the tide here in

201
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,759
a game like this, but it's kind of one that

202
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,919
you know, the books know what they're doing right one

203
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:14,840
to seventy nine or something on the total. But I

204
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:17,600
still feel like someone's getting a ninety in this game.

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,559
And if that happens right like it's it's I think

206
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,480
you got a good chance to go over one to eighty,

207
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:25,519
even though it's a you know, you can't you can't

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,960
afford the five minute drought in a game like this,

209
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:30,919
But I don't know if I see that. With these

210
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:32,919
two teams, Rob, I think you're gonna see a lot

211
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:34,720
of scoring, and I buy to play it.

212
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,799
Speaker 2: I think I take the over here and real quick.

213
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: Just to clarify, because Alabama, like I said earlier, is

214
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,399
not without their own injury concern. Aid and Chryl questionable

215
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,919
here but from Naots no best room defender right, yes,

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,759
absolutely yeah, you know six' eleven Kid nadoes had said

217
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,879
that they took him Out saturday for precaution.

218
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: Reasons it's a.

219
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,879
Speaker 3: Knee he was having tests On, saturday but he thought

220
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:06,799
he'd be or On, sunday but he thought he would

221
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:08,519
be good to go here.

222
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: TONIGHT i still see.

223
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,519
Speaker 3: QUESTIONABLE i guess nobody's confirmed one way or the other

224
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:17,399
on these two pretty KEY i Mean miles obviously key

225
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:21,679
Component Cheryl key. Components so maybe check your injury reports

226
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,679
see what we can find during the. Day we do

227
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,840
do this at ten Am eastern, time seven O'clock, pacific

228
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,480
and it takes a little bit of time certain days

229
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,279
to get the proper injury. Information just like last. Night

230
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120
And i'll just interject real quick, here the Sky clark

231
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,480
news came FOR, Ucla, adam and it came late in the,

232
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:45,240
day AND i immediately rushed to my client base and

233
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:48,159
released a play On wisconsin first, half and sure enough

234
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,799
it was pretty easy. Cakewalk so, again check those two.

235
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:54,759
Injuries they're important to each side as it stands right,

236
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,799
Now adam slightly towards The vandy, side me slightly towards

237
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679
The alabama sites probably haven't helped anybody yet.

238
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,919
Speaker 2: Whatsoever so so so it makes sense to just take

239
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,240
the over and root for. Points.

240
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,879
Speaker 1: ROB i, mean that's that's and if you you, Know

241
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,000
miles in For vandy, Out cheryl out For bama like,

242
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,960
THAT i, mean that has to alter the number toward the.

243
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,799
Over that that has to make it like more of

244
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:21,440
an over bet than it would be if both If

245
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:22,840
miles were out And cheryl were.

246
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:27,639
Speaker 3: It in my, opinion, yeah we would see it. Differently as,

247
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360
handicappers we would be on. THAT i don't know that

248
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:33,960
odds makers would shift the number For, cheryl but obviously

249
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
with no rim, Protection dandy's path to the rim is

250
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,440
pretty easy without you, There.

251
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: So we and they might show up in the, line

252
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,960
but it would show up.

253
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: For us for us, well and they score at the

254
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:48,799
rim as good as anyone in the. Country they're very efficient,

255
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,960
offense and they're they're they're going to be able to exploit.

256
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,279
That so, yeah that Is that's probably the most interesting

257
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,240
sort of part of that, game in my, opinion AND

258
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,559
i THINK i think it makes my lean toward the

259
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,679
over even stronger than MAYBE i anticipated when we started

260
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,799
talking about the. Game, GARTH i see you in the.

261
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:09,799
Chat we'll get to your we'll get to your game.

262
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,240
Next But rob sometimes listen as a mid major, guy

263
00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:16,919
and of COURSE i am in The louisville. BUILDING i

264
00:13:17,039 --> 00:13:21,399
See Terrence williams big huge banner on the wall from

265
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,759
those two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, teams

266
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,080
AND i have flashbacks To Clarence jackson For cianna missing

267
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,320
a corner three that would have put them up eight

268
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,919
On louisville with five minutes to. Go in THE Ncaa,

269
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,879
Tournament louisville finishes the comeback as the one seed to BEAT,

270
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:39,759
cna the best team we've ever had At Siana.

271
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:41,799
Speaker 2: College But i'm a mid major.

272
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Guy that was WHERE i was going with, this and

273
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,799
SO i feel like we need to do a co feature,

274
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,240
today mid major, feature which is none other than Your

275
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,279
belmont ruins on the road At Northern. Iowa and the

276
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,200
REASON i wanted to throw this one in now is

277
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,440
because you made a point About skyclfe last, night AND

278
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,360
i think like these late scratches that come out of

279
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,440
nowhere are the toughest ones on a, team, Right, so

280
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,600
Like belmont is a perfect. Example this last Time nick

281
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,159
McClain gets scratched that was not known that was that

282
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,919
was like a couple hours before a game, time And

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,279
belmont played their, worst one of their worst games of the.

284
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,799
Year you know, TOO i believe that was the game

285
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,960
that they choked late and lost To Southern, illinois which

286
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,399
the fact that they were even in a position to

287
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,519
lose To Southern illinois was not good in the first.

288
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:35,879
Place so going into game number, two like when you

289
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:38,200
look at this, game like it looks like McLain is out,

290
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,559
Again but for, you is that less of an issue

291
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,799
because they've kind of now can prepare for him being out.

292
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: Well AND i think you know what really was problematic

293
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,279
the other day Was sam orm was he hadn't played

294
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,759
the game before and he was. Questionable he did, play

295
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,679
McClain didn't and maybe getting one under your. BELT i

296
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:02,320
Mean Southern, illinois This Missouri Valley, Conference, adam we talked

297
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,000
about it really really early in the season how good

298
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,960
it would. Be And Southern illinois is a difficult opponent

299
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,080
for many. Reasons they're kind of unique inside that conference

300
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,480
their style of. Play But belmont didn't shoot it. Well

301
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,240
AND i think when you go back to that box,

302
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,679
SCORE i had this written in my. Notes it only

303
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,399
took twelve threes in that, game which is, very very Unlike.

304
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: Belmont lundblade didn't have a good.

305
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: Game the Guy Casey, alexander the head, coach calls the

306
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,559
best shooter In. America obviously he's been very good this

307
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,159
year from, distance but he.

308
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: Was only one for. Four the team didn't shoot.

309
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,799
Speaker 3: Threes Southern illinois committed to eliminating that the arc from,

310
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,759
them and they did a good. Job and we'll see

311
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:49,360
If Northern iowa can do the same thing in this particular.

312
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,159
Matchup my inclination would be That belmont just doesn't shoot

313
00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:56,039
poorly two games in a, row AND i think that

314
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,399
you'll see more threes launched here in this. Game so

315
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:03,000
there's a little bit of me that wants to Play

316
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:06,840
belmont over after playing such a low scoring. Game they're

317
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:10,440
just not a team that plays back to back games

318
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,240
in the. Sixties it's not their, Style, Casey, alexandra even

319
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:18,039
Though tonight on the road is going to try and push,

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,679
Pace Northern iowa not a team that really wants to

321
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,639
get up and. Down so you, got you, know contrasting

322
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,120
Styles deluxe, here home, team AS i always, say generally

323
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,240
gets the benefit of the doubt in my, mind And

324
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,799
Northern iowa locks up on. Defense the number is always

325
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:40,919
the great equalizer in these, games AND i just think

326
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,960
that maybe the under here is a little bit too.

327
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: Low.

328
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,039
Speaker 3: Now i've commented a little bit this season On belmont's

329
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,039
defense being better this, season and it. Has so there's

330
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,440
a lot of statistical numbers and a lot of, reasoning

331
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,279
logical reasoning to, say, well this is going to be

332
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,440
a low scoring game. Again sometimes gut feeling prevails in this.

333
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,359
Business it's really hard to. Explain it's in exact. Science

334
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,039
but for, ME i think the numbers at a point

335
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:11,559
right now where you could probably play it over BECAUSE

336
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:13,960
i don't See belmont being held down to only twelve

337
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,160
three point attempts and going three for twelve from distance

338
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,400
in this.

339
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Game, Yeah i'm torn.

340
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:22,599
Speaker 1: Here this is one Sometimes i'll come out and be

341
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,839
like a, MAN i really want to bet against both these,

342
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,519
teams so it's like a GAME i can't bet. HERE

343
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:29,519
i really want to bet on both of these teams

344
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,599
right like It's i'd love to come out and Bet

345
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,160
belmont in the bounce back spot after an ugly loss

346
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:38,759
and knowing that some of that may have had to

347
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:41,400
do with a player getting scratched very close to tip,

348
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,759
off which is always going to be tough a on.

349
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,559
Teams the other thing is, like AND i Pulled bayou's comment.

350
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,039
Up you, Know Northern iowa at home has been, awesome

351
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:54,000
and they're awesome again this year eight and one at,

352
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,319
home twelve and three, overall But belmont five and one

353
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:56,480
on the.

354
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: Road they've been good on the.

355
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,599
Speaker 1: Road and the thing With Northern iowa holding teams to under, Sixty, like,

356
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,720
yeah they're very good, defensively but no one has been

357
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:07,319
able to make a shot against them at all this,

358
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,880
Season like is that their defense just being so good

359
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,440
or are they gonna you, know are they do a

360
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,799
little bit of bad luck in that regard where some

361
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,680
of you, know some of the shots finally go in against?

362
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,319
Them and what better team to do, that rob than

363
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,680
A belmont team that you just basically pointed out is

364
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,319
it's unlikely to have two poor offensive performances too poor shooting,

365
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,240
performances so that that is going to be a fantastic

366
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:37,400
game to. WATCH i actually Think belmont team total is

367
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:40,359
PROBABLY i THINK i would agree with. YOU i really

368
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,400
tried to find a side in that, one AND i

369
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,279
found myself making pretty strong cases for. Both SO i

370
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,640
look to some sort of, total AND i think that

371
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:54,000
my favorite angle there would Be belmont not playing as

372
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:55,200
poorly as they did last time.

373
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,759
Speaker 3: Around and real, quick just to tell the folks where

374
00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:02,279
the money's go. On so far this, morning the number

375
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:04,920
has been pushed up from one thirty five and a

376
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,160
half opener for a total up to one thirty six

377
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,920
and a, Half and now you're seeing as high as

378
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,039
one thirty seven and a. Half The bellmont team total,

379
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,200
Here adam is sixty seven and a. Half you're asking

380
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,720
this team to get to sixty. Eight you know they

381
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,839
go on these. Streaks for sixty eight is a fairly easy.

382
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Conquest NORTHERN i always been. Good the schedule hasn't been

383
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,960
great as far as high octane offenses are. Concerned but we'll.

384
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,319
SEE i, mean it's a great. MATCHUP i actually thought

385
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:36,319
when you said mid major, GAME i thought you were

386
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:38,559
going to go To Saint louis AND. Bcu but maybe

387
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:39,119
we'll get to that.

388
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,079
Speaker 2: Later, yeah well we'll get to that.

389
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,559
Speaker 1: ONE i actually promise we'll get to that one BECAUSE

390
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,599
i may use that as my parlay. Leg but FIRST

391
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:50,200
i want to, well we'll go to THE a, ten

392
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,319
SO i, GUESS i guess we'll do. That we'll do a,

393
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:55,599
little a little double two pack in THE a, ten

394
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:58,359
BUT i want to go To garth. First we appreciate the.

395
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,559
Donation garths is not a bad seat at The Young.

396
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,519
CENTER i Know garth is from that area. Somewhere he's

397
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,599
our Resident Western kentucky, alum so he's got to be

398
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:09,799
somehow be close To.

399
00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: LOUISVILLE i THINK i.

400
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: PASSED i THINK i drove Past Western kentucky at some,

401
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,000
point like their.

402
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,319
Speaker 2: CAMPUS i don't know.

403
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: All it's all a whirlwind rob when you're in the

404
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,319
car for a long period of. Time but, yeah not

405
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,440
a bad seat at The Young, center he, said ballgame or.

406
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:28,519
Concert it's a beautiful. Building it is a gorgeous building

407
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:32,440
BUILT i think in twenty. TEN i believe Those louisville

408
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,160
TEAMS i reference the one that was the number one

409
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,119
seed in THE ncaa tournament back AND i think two

410
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,000
thousand and, nine of, course broke the hearts of everyone In,

411
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:44,480
Loudonville New. York we thought we were five minutes away

412
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:47,559
from A sweet, sixteen And louisville just got it.

413
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: Done Rick, Patino Terrence.

414
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: WILLIAMS i believe that was the last year they played

415
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,519
At Freedom, hall AND i think The Young center opened

416
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,079
the next, year so only fifteen years. Old he's, right beautiful,

417
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,480
building not a bad seat in the. House but What

418
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,559
garth wants to talk about right here is SOME a

419
00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,680
ten basketball and it's an interesting. Game So i'll let

420
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,680
you kick this off because he's specifically asking about.

421
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,279
Speaker 2: The Duke cane team.

422
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Total AND i guess the reason this matchup to, me you,

423
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,039
know is. INTERESTING i don't HAVE i didn't play anything,

424
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:25,119
here but Like Saint joe's was almost at rock bottom

425
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,440
like two games, ago two weeks. Ago So Deuce jones

426
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,119
the second was essentially dismissed from the team and not

427
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,119
only was either leading, scorer he was the guy that

428
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,880
they you, know gave nil. Money i'm sure actually you

429
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,079
could probably speak to, this being like kind of in that,

430
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,000
area AND i know you kind of follow The Saint joe's.

431
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,400
Program but, like long story, SHORT i Believe donahue kicked

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,359
him off the team because he was just you, KNOW

433
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,519
i think there was a little bit of a feud

434
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,880
With Anthony, finkley who's like one of the, upperclassmen and

435
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,000
then just like for whatever, reason he's no longer with the,

436
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:03,000
team And Saint Joe's twitter went. Nuts basically they're, like, okay,

437
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,279
well just we're just gonna punt on the season before

438
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:08,079
an a ten play even. Starts so it's very much

439
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,920
a sky is falling moment for the for The hawks

440
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,960
and For Saint Joe's and SO i kind of you,

441
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,160
know you read that and you're, like you, know sometimes

442
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,960
it's addition by subtraction makes me think Of Denny williams

443
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,000
up here In syracuse when he was kicked off the

444
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,480
team like three years in a, row and every, time

445
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,359
or like like in three in two. SEASONS i think

446
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,720
he got booted off the team three or four at different,

447
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,960
times Rob and every Time cues kicked him off the,

448
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000
team they came out and played. Better it was like

449
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,640
because he was like such a locker room like issue

450
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,960
and just like just a distraction that it seemed like

451
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:49,920
every time they kicked him, off they played. Better so you,

452
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,359
know that was kind of like the APPROACH i was

453
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,920
going to take with Uh Saint joe's because we're sports

454
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,640
betters and we know that when headlines come out like,

455
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,200
that when there's a narrative like, that the the odds

456
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,759
start to. Plummet and suddenly Suddenly Saint, joe's WHO i

457
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:08,839
didn't think was a bad team this. Year you, KNOW i, figured,

458
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,319
yeah you have you lose laying to THE. Nba But Steve,

459
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,960
donah he's a veteran coach like. THAT i didn't think

460
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,640
he was going to have an issue coming in and

461
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,640
coaching the. Team and so that's where my head is. At,

462
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,640
here CAN i find a spot to Buy Saint. Joe's

463
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,079
and since that, happened which was the lost To Coastal,

464
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,960
carolina they've come out and lost their first TWO a ten.

465
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,880
Games but it goes back to the conversation we had

466
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,319
a little bit yesterday where when THE a ten is

467
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:38,480
good And i'm not saying it's great this, year but

468
00:23:38,599 --> 00:23:40,599
like it can be a pretty deep, league and it's

469
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,839
like sometimes it's tough game after tough, games specifically For

470
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,400
Saint joe's At Saint, louis that's an impossible game this,

471
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,359
year no one's no one might win that game this.

472
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,680
Year Saint louis might not lose at home this. Year

473
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,400
but then you, know losing at home To davidson was

474
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,240
a little bit. Disappointing that was the game THAT i

475
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,880
kind of was, like all, right is that the spot

476
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:03,759
to maybe jump? In so my question to, you is

477
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,200
this the spot to jump in With Saint Joe's and

478
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,960
what do you think About garth's team totaled over on

479
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,519
The dukune?

480
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: Side all, Right So i'll say just from my, Standpoint

481
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:16,279
i've played the last Two Saint joe's games and been

482
00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:18,079
on the right side of. BOTH i Had Saint louis

483
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:21,240
team total over they scored one hundred and. TWO i

484
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,799
came back and Played davidson the other night minus one

485
00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:27,359
and a Half saturday, NIGHT i think it, was And Saint,

486
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,799
joe's you, know forty minutes in the. Game for thirty,

487
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:34,079
minutes they were the side and they fell.

488
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,799
Speaker 2: Apart down the.

489
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:38,079
Speaker 3: Stretch davidson made one good run at, them they couldn't.

490
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:42,200
Respond davidson winds up winning by, six made a few free,

491
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,519
throws clutch free throws at the end to.

492
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: Create a little bit of. Margins SO.

493
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,519
Speaker 3: I, would first of, all To garth's, question, absolutely you

494
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:54,799
would Play dukaine's team total over seventy six and a half. Tonight,

495
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,519
hey if you just go to The ducaine, side their

496
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,079
tempo this season has been in crease, dramatically and they

497
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680
shoot the basketball, really really. WELL i, Mean Duke kaine's

498
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,039
had some very very high scoring, efforts consistent high scoring,

499
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:13,160
efforts so against this, defense and you have to take

500
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,759
into account when you're playing these team totals game to,

501
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,839
game matchup to match, up The davidson style Against Saint

502
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,519
joe's is a lot easier to. Defend davidson's not going

503
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,920
anywhere they got their shell on their, back they walk it,

504
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,440
up they work it, around they take time off the.

505
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,079
Clock it's a little bit easier to defend a closed

506
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:40,240
floor type of, offense but the open floor offense That

507
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:42,559
dukine's going to play more. Difficult to find your, man

508
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:46,400
grab your, assignment get back and, transition et, cetera et.

509
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,240
Cetera the two comp Games i'll use real. Quick Saint

510
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:54,359
jose Played fran McCaffrey's pen team early in the, season

511
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,200
gave up eighty. Three we know What fran likes to

512
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,039
do from an offensive. Standpoint and then again reference To

513
00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:04,000
Saint louis game Where Saint louis is an out and

514
00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:07,279
out greyhound style and they got to one hundred and

515
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:09,559
two on their home. Floor but still they got to

516
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:12,160
one hundred and. Two so for, me du cane seventy

517
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,400
six and a. Half to, me it looks like a

518
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,880
game that would reach. Eighty they would reach. Eighty HERE

519
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,480
i would be on that side, garth you, know with

520
00:26:20,559 --> 00:26:24,279
no hesitation, really so hopefully that gets to the bottom

521
00:26:24,319 --> 00:26:26,599
of the question. There BUT i would be right with.

522
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,079
You arriving along With dukne team total over seventy six

523
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,440
and a half. SIDE i don't, know BUT i see

524
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,519
the same things that you're talking about, There adam WITH i,

525
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,160
saw especially in the second, Half Steve donahue in that

526
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,039
game real, quick and that was broadcast, NATIONALLY i think

527
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,319
ON Cbs Sports network or one of those, channels And

528
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,319
Steve donahue down the stretch was kind of losing his

529
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,839
mind with his team when they got pushed By davidson

530
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,119
and couldn't punch. Back he's not the type of. GUY

531
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,079
i don't. KNOW i Guess i've Seen donahue emotional, before

532
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,039
but he's not really consistently a guy on the sidelines

533
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:08,400
that you're gonna, say, wow this guy's a. Enokcase but

534
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,319
he seemed to you, know he's trying to work with

535
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,640
what he has right, now and there are some issues there.

536
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: On one of my very good friends played basketball At

537
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,960
Boston college for him and by all, accounts a great

538
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,720
guy and yet not not a hot, head not someone

539
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,680
that's gonna like lose his. School i'll tell you what THIS.

540
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: I.

541
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: Think and so you you, know love to hear that

542
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:33,559
you cash With davidson over the, weekend And i'm glad

543
00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:35,319
that you brought up the end of that game BECAUSE

544
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,119
i did not watch the end of that game, intently

545
00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:41,559
but it makes sense, that, like, see here's the thing

546
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,640
With Deuce, jones what you lose with? Him so part

547
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,839
of THE i think the frustration was he just jacked

548
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,039
up shots a lot of times like he would just

549
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:54,119
there's a great clip if you there's an awesome. Clip

550
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,000
he hit a buzzer beater earlier this year to Beat,

551
00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:02,240
temple and he took a tear three at the buzzer

552
00:28:02,319 --> 00:28:04,680
to the point WHERE i think it was, finkly like

553
00:28:05,079 --> 00:28:08,160
threw his hands up in, disgust like like in the,

554
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,079
camera and he made it to win the game at the,

555
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,880
Buzzer AND i just think that like that sort of

556
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,920
what you lose with him not, There you lose the.

557
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,279
Ability you lose that guy that in the final four

558
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:22,240
minutes is gonna have that with someone draped on and

559
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,960
is gonna will his way to the hoop or is

560
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,400
gonna get off a tough shot when a team's really

561
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,200
clamping down defensively and a lot of times make. It

562
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,400
even though he's you, know twenty six percent from three

563
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,759
and he probably takes some bad, ones he was probably

564
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:38,079
the guy that would can make that shot at the

565
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,000
end of the game and you you, know kind of

566
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:42,400
zed like down the stretch Against.

567
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,119
Speaker 2: Davidson they just didn't have. It SO i don't.

568
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: THINK i don't Think i'll Play Saint joe's. Today probably

569
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,559
another one i'll, watch But, garth if, you if you

570
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:52,680

ROB I i. Understand, LISTEN i to get to two years.

600
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,519
AGO i went to this exact game In richmond at

601
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:33,400
The Seagulls, CENTER a tremendous, atmosphere a phenomenal, building very

602
00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:39,240
very good home. Court uh you know edge historically for

603
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,559
FOR vcu in this, building and that that year was

604
00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:46,720
not you, know That Saint louis team was not The

605
00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:48,039
Saint louis, Team let's put it that.

606
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 2: Way you know that was the that was the.

607
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:53,839
Speaker 1: YEAR i Think Saint louis it was Before shirts was,

608
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,039
there and, uh they got run out of the. Gym

609
00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,359
This Saint louis team is. Awesome are you will be

610
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:04,319
the best team in this? CONFERENCE A villa is. PHENOMENAL

611
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,599
i think it Took, shirts you, know maybe two years

612
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,519
or you, know that first year he was still trying

613
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,079
to like adjust to THE a. TEN i think that's

614
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,000
the Point i'll make. Here you, know this Is Phil

615
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:17,440
Martelly junior's first go around in THE a, ten the

616
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,799
first time that he's gonna have to sort of deal

617
00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:22,200
with like TOUGH a ten conference game after TOUGH a

618
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,559
ten conference. GAME vcu at a decent non. Conference BUT

619
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,720
i still just think that this team is maybe a

620
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:30,599
tick down from where they've been the past couple of,

621
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,359
years Whereas Saint louis might just be they may run

622
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,039
away with the league if they if they play to the,

623
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:39,720
potential they're gonna run away with this. League rob A

624
00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:42,119
villa is the type of guy that can GET vcu

625
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,359
away from the rim a little. Bit and if you

626
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,359
can do, THAT i think you can score ON. Vcu

627
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,279
SO i didn't agree with the move up to two

628
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:51,880
and a. HALF i haven't looked at my odd screen

629
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:55,880
in a, minute So i'm assuming it's still. There BUT

630
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,640
i Played Saint louis plus two and a half rob

631
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,839
and it. Is it is a four percent play for your.

632
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: Boy and Now i'm.

633
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,039
Speaker 1: Seeing some threes and three and a, halfs which you

634
00:32:05,079 --> 00:32:09,440
know WHAT i gotta, say, like bring it. Okay same

635
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,759
thing happened to me With columbia On. Monday they won the,

636
00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:15,559
game was no. PROBLEM i think that that WAS i

637
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:17,839
think that that got steamed a little, bit like just,

638
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,599
NOW i thought it might have been a. HEADBAKE i

639
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:23,400
think that's insane unless someone's out For Saint, louis WHICH

640
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,079
i don't think is the.

641
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:25,519
Speaker 2: CASE i think you're getting.

642
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,599
Speaker 1: THE vcu home bump right, there and it's more THAN

643
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:33,319
i imagined it would, be so, again doesn't change my

644
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:36,240
handicap at. All we will get a better number on

645
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:38,920
the show for our parlay THAN i did for. Clients

646
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,880
that's that's rare. Too but it actually happened On monday

647
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,680
With columbia and it didn't. Matter columbia won the, game

648
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,440
AND i Think Saint louis is going to win this.

649
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:51,200
Game So Saint Louis billikins for clients plus two and

650
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,119
a half on the, show it looks like we're gonna

651
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:54,480
be able to take plus three or three and a.

652
00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:56,839
HALF i think they get it done In richmond. Tonight

653
00:32:57,519 --> 00:32:58,839
do you make? Anything what do you make of that?

654
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,960
Line move any any reason of MY vcu is taking

655
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,640
a little bit money?

656
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: There, YEAH i can't make heads or tails of, That,

657
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,359
adam other than just people playing home floor advantage when

658
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,079
you break down personnel here and what do you.

659
00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:16,279
Speaker 1: Say quick quickly back to SO i think someone just

660
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:17,960
faked it to three or three and a half because

661
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,920
a couple of those books just went back to two

662
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,279
and a. Half so maybe a little market, Manipulation, veno

663
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,359
Maybe gianni's over, here fire and stuff out the.

664
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: Market and like we say all the, TIME i mean

665
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920
it feels like we say this every. Day we do this,

666
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,799
show probably at a great, time in a great time

667
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:39,759
slot ten Am east to eleven Am, east when these

668
00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:44,480
markets are, active very very, active and we see moves

669
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:48,200
each and every morning here on these, games and that

670
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,279
just goes to. It my initial reaction, here, obviously as

671
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:54,079
a guy who looks at totals, first was to play

672
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:56,240
this game. OVER i don't know that it's priced high.

673
00:33:56,359 --> 00:33:58,400
Enough adham at one seventy and a half now up

674
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,799
to one seventy, one one one and a. Half it

675
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:06,680
just seems and, Granted Saint louis NOR vcu for that,

676
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,519
matter have played terrific schedules, lately so some of the

677
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,800
numbers that they've run, up you, know you have to

678
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,639
take with a little bit of grain of. Salt but

679
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,159
this game's going to be played at such a, pace

680
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,440
And Saint louis is such a shot making, team and

681
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,320
they've been good to me two or three times on

682
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,599
team total this, year and that's really WHERE i want to.

683
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:27,079
Speaker 2: Go with this.

684
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: One is over eighty four and a half on their team,

685
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,920
total BECAUSE i just don't VIEW vcu at this. Time you,

686
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:40,679
KNOW vcu comes with perception of past reputation Under Shaka

687
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,599
smart and that, press that full court, press and the

688
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:47,679
steels and the buckets on the other side can't score.

689
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,360
Points they're not necessarily and they weren't. Then, actually now

690
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,039
THAT i think, BACK i used to always, say if

691
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,159
you could GET vcu into a half court they're not

692
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,800
really a great half court defensive. Team this team doesn't

693
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,360
defend threes really. Well Saint louis shoots three. Tremendously the

694
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,920
whole thing about this game really lies With Saint, louis

695
00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:09,280
and will.

696
00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: They be a little bit shaken in this venue if

697
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:17,519
something starts to go wrong, early IF vcu comes out

698
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:19,800
and throws a quick punch The Saint.

699
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,119
Speaker 3: Louis you, know they're not really accustomed to being in these.

700
00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:25,760
Games Shirts when he Had Indiana state that, year they

701
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,800
were really really. Good they were kind of used to

702
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:33,079
that squad going on the road being the. TARGET i,

703
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:35,400
think for what it's, worth they just shoot it too.

704
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,599
Well they play the same STAFF a lot of. Times

705
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:44,599
these teams that play up, tempo fast, paced get up

706
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:46,920
on you with. Press sometimes those teams don't like to

707
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,519
have it done back to. Them Saint louis will do

708
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:53,280
it back TO vcu. HERE i think the advantages lie

709
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,239
With Saint louis here other than the home. Floor, again

710
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,320
it's it's a team that when you watch them, offensively

711
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,840
a lot never gets made out, of you, know assists

712
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:07,679
and passing the basketball.

713
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 2: Around But Saint.

714
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: Louis is one of those teams that always makes the

715
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,480
pass to get the better. Shot to use a basketball,

716
00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:17,199
phrase extra pass for a better, shot make a good,

717
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:18,679
shot a great, shot.

718
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,039
Speaker 2: It's what they.

719
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 3: DO i can see them getting over eighty four and

720
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,800
a half. HERE i could see this game going over

721
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:26,719
one seventy one and a. Half we talked earlier About

722
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,119
Bama fandy being an obnoxious. Number this in that same.

723
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,480
Category but this that same type of game that you'll see.

724
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,199
There this is going to be rapid. PACE i think two,

725
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,760
ways AND i haven't confirmed either, yet But Saint louis

726
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,679
team total over eighty four and a half appeals to,

727
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,039
me and full game total over appeals to me as.

728
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: Well two comments in the, chap so you, know Ol joe,

729
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,239
says you, Know Saint louis is not That Saint louis

730
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,400
is not battle tested. Yet, YEAH i, mean, listen you

731
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,320
can you could say that about a lot of, teams

732
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,280
right like getting to comfort, play you, Know November. DECEMBER

733
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,039
i think you could say that about a lot of.

734
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:06,760
Teams and, so, YEAH i understand going on the road isn't,

735
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,360
easy BUT i DON'T i don't think it's as big

736
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,079
of a, deal you, know especially in like these road.

737
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:17,599
Games me, Personally i'll give a far bigger bump for

738
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,039
road or for a home team in a spot like

739
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:25,000
in Late, february Early, february like it's still Early, january

740
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,960
AND i JUST i just don't think it matters quite

741
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,320
as much. Now jacob, says you, KNOW i have to, Disagree.

742
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,360
TRICK i make my NUMBER vcu minus. Four SO i

743
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,079
took my moneyline minus one forty early this. Morning well

744
00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:39,039
you're right about. THAT i, mean the market clearly moved

745
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:42,840
the way the way your number suggested it. WOULD i

746
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,679
Was i'm at pick, here so WHEN i saw the

747
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,679
plus two and a, HALF i, said, okay like. That you,

748
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,800
know it feels like something that, could you, know get

749
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,079
faked up and played back At that is essentially what.

750
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Happened so the market has pretty much settled back in

751
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:00,519
at two and a, half with the exception of a

752
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:03,519
couple of places still have. Three so that three and

753
00:38:03,559 --> 00:38:07,400
a half was a very brief, thing which tells me

754
00:38:07,559 --> 00:38:10,480
that there was people out there that wanted it to

755
00:38:10,519 --> 00:38:12,000
get it up to three three and a half so

756
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:14,360
they could kind of get the money On Saint. Louis

757
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,119
So i'm pretty comfortable with my position. Here it is

758
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:19,960
a four percent, play and we will likely just call

759
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,920
it two and a half for the parlay since it

760
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,719
looks like it's going to, be you, know back there

761
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,360
at the end of the.

762
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 3: Show, adam let me just real quick, here because you

763
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,960
always like to look at both sides of these. Arguments

764
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,960
it's how we handicapped. Games you can't just look at

765
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,679
one side to, say you, know here's the assets we're

766
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:35,880
going to.

767
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: Win you have to look at the other.

768
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: Side to the comment About Saint louis not being battle,

769
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,760
TESTED vcu has played one real team at home this

770
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,960
year that Was New mexico and they lost out right

771
00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:51,880
eighty one seventy. Eight SO i guess you could to

772
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,800
the point you could probably SAY vcu hasn't shown to

773
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,159
be battle tested, either because they welcome one team in

774
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,320
that was on in their weight class and they could beat.

775
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,199
Him AND i don't know how you would Comp Saint

776
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:06,079
louis To New mexico Because New mexico's playing great ball right,

777
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:09,360
now But i'd probably put them on an equal playing,

778
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,119
field like if they run a. NEUTRAL i guess you

779
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:13,719
could get to your numbers and tell me what a

780
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,920
neutral would Be Saint Louis New, mexico but it would

781
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,320
be pretty.

782
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,159
Speaker 1: Tight, Yeah Saint louis would Abuse New mexico on a,

783
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,400
neutral a neutral if if you ask, me, LIKE i

784
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,199
get That New mexico is playing, better BUT i Think

785
00:39:24,199 --> 00:39:26,880
Saint louis would would just drag them out of the

786
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,280
gym if those two teams played on a neutral. Court,

787
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,760
now if it's at The pit In, albuquerque an all

788
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,519
time favorite venue OF, trig that's a whole different. Story

789
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:39,199
that place is. Awesome the other thing is about about battle.

790
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:42,840
Tested oh, Oh Phil Martelli junior's battle tested from his

791
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,599
days At bryant, playing you, know playing tough games In

792
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,920
albany And, burlington like he just got there. Too this

793
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,159
is LIKE i would almost argue That shirts And Saint

794
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,280
louis are more battle tested than the CURRENT vcu, regime

795
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,119
which is a new coach From bryant that played one

796
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:03,400
game in THE ncaa, tournament like you, know Coming, like

797
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,000
look at How shirt struggled early on in THE a

798
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:09,360
ten With Saint louis last, year even coming in From Indiana.

799
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,079
State SO i think that second year For avila And

800
00:40:13,159 --> 00:40:15,880
shirts is so, huge and this game is gonna come

801
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400
down to A villa, polling you, know just being able

802
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,559
to run That Saint louis offense efficiently enough to GET

803
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:24,079
pcu away from the rim and get some get some.

804
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:26,519
Points so, YEAH i went a little longer on that.

805
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:28,440
Game but, hey that's A i just gave it a

806
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,639
four percenter on the. Show would normally sell it for

807
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:33,440
twenty five. Dollars now you got it for.

808
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: Free all, Right.

809
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Rob do you have any idea where you want to

810
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,159
go with your parlay leg or or do you want

811
00:40:40,159 --> 00:40:42,320

812
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:42,679
to hit on?

813
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 3: Today you, know let me just go ahead and give

814
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,960
the parlay leg, Here AND i guess you could classify

815
00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:52,119

Speaker 2: MINUTE i found a quote.

829
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: From Kim english very very interesting after they Beat Saint

830
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:40,639
john's in their last game seventy seven to seventy. One,

831
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,719
right here's What Kim english had to. Say he, said

832
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,119
if we were ten and, three and they're not ten and,

833
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:48,760
three they're eight and. Six if we were ten and,

834
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,440
three we would still be the same exact team that

835
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:56,920
struggles to play together at, times struggles to, defend struggles to.

836
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,679
Rebound so the onus is on, us was on us

837
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,000
looking into what we locking into what we had to.

838
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:08,239
Do our guys answered the bell Against Saint, john's basically

839
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,000
what the coach is telling. You despite that, win we're

840
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:11,599
still not that.

841
00:42:11,679 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 2: Good we still.

842
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,679
Speaker 3: Don't do a lot of things really. Well they did

843
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,599
them temporarily Against Saint. John's other teams have done good

844
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:23,880
things temporarily Against Saint. John's but you're gonna face tonight

845
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,880
A connecticut team That Dan hurley once again went off.

846
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,360
On and we talk about these coaches that go off

847
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,119
on their, team But Dan hurley's whole thing was ball.

848
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:34,559
Security nobody on this team knows how to take care

849
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:36,280
of the. BALL i might just have to start benching.

850
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Guys it's his way, of you, know getting through to his. Team,

851
00:42:40,159 --> 00:42:44,000
however they're coming off a really bad shooting. PERFORMANCE i

852
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,800
wouldn't expect you con to shoot badly two games in a.

853
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:53,920
Row and their defense right now is pretty close to

854
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,039
the defense that won the championship a couple of years.

855
00:42:57,079 --> 00:43:00,639
BACK i like to use the phrase deguard like you

856
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:05,320
Know Fort knox and right. Now Even Terris reid commented

857
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,239
on how good this defense. Is he, said, defensively it

858
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,400
feels like we've taken a tremendous jump this. Year our

859
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,440
next step is to get that killer mentality to put

860
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:17,000
teams away as soon as we get that. Lead remember

861
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:19,159
a couple of years, Ago, adam that was the case

862
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,400
when it would be, close, close, close and then, boom

863
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,000
separation would be. Created never close. AGAIN i just find

864
00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:28,719
these other teams Like providence in The Big, east these

865
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:34,960
middling type teams to be fodder For yukon on nights

866
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,159
when they're. Interested AND i think that's WHERE i come

867
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,360
to my play here On Yukon. Minus it's been bed

868
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,840
up to ten and a. Half that's the number we're

869
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,480
going to have to. Use but this team appears to

870
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:49,039
be from coach to personnel really motivated to hit the

871
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:52,480
gas pedal. Here and if they do Against, PROVIDENCE i

872
00:43:52,519 --> 00:43:54,599
don't think. This we said it the other. Night the

873
00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:57,559
game wasn't close, either they won by like nineteen or,

874
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:00,880
twenty and they may just stump stops through The Big

875
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,760
east in this. Fashion but, TONIGHT i think even on

876
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:09,280
the road and this is not a true hostile road,

877
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,679
Venue yukon's going to win. There it's a close bus

878
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,239
ride stores To, providence no big. Deal SO i Like.

879
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,320
YUKON i like them a. LOT i think they probably

880
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,599
win this game by fifteen plus number here is ten

881
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:19,719
and a.

882
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,039
Speaker 1: Half, yeah if my Buddy Joey g's were in the

883
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:26,079
chat right, now he basically call this another home game For.

884
00:44:26,199 --> 00:44:30,000
Yukon like he basically, is like any venue that's in

885
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:32,840
The northeast is A yukon home. Game now obviously that's

886
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,280
not the case At. Providence they have a lot of fans,

887
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,000
themselves but, yeah The yukon's faith will get out there

888
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,760
and their their presence is almost always felt in any

889
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,519
game In New england Or New York, city and certainly

890
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,000
you Know providence is a stone's throw not very, far you,

891
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:49,039
know you, know it's part of The New england. Area

892
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,760
Before Big east play, started ROB i came on and was,

893
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,760
like you, know kind of joking like what would you

894
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,599
make the number for you kind of not lose a

895
00:44:58,599 --> 00:45:01,000
single conference? Game AND i actually like was like is

896
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:01,639
it minus one?

897
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:02,639
Speaker 2: Fifty? Right is?

898
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 4: It?

899
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 2: My is? It?

900
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: Like like it's crazy to, think but like would they

901
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,280
be a slight favorite to run the table in this?

902
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,920
Conference with how bad this conference? IS i may need

903
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,159
to update that to will they lose a? Game will

904
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,800
they win a game by single? Digits will they just

905
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,320
win every game by double? DIGITS i, mean obviously that's

906
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,960
probably not gonna, happen but you talked about a bad shooting.

907
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,679
Game they still won that game at sixteen over Over.

908
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,719
Marquette Uh Yukon's Big east margin of victory so, far

909
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:32,039
nineteen point win Over, butler an eighteen point win At,

910
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:35,719
DePaul and That DePaul team might be better than This prominance.

911
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,840
Team like that's the, Thing like this is Like DePaul's

912
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,480
actually not half bad and they beat That they beat

913
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:44,400
them by eighteen twenty three point win At, xavier a

914
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,280
game WHERE i remember, thinking, oh are they gonna play

915
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,199
with nothing to, Lose, like are they gonna be up

916
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,440
for this? Game how many times do you think that's

917
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,400
gonna come up this year where it's, like, oh are

918
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,800
they gonna get up for this? Game like because, someone

919
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:58,440
someone in The Big east has to be quote unquote

920
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,400
good just by, default, Right like they all play each,

921
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,880
other someone is gonna win enough games to be in

922
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,639
like second or, third and then they're gonna go Play

923
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:07,519
yukon and.

924
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna be, Like, oh this might be the.

925
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: Day and Then yukon's gonna win by thirty and everyone's

926
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,159
just gonna be, like, oh, yeah of course It's. Yukon

927
00:46:14,519 --> 00:46:16,400
that Was xavier a couple of weeks ago they lost

928
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,760
by twenty, three and then of course over the Weekend

929
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,400
yukon sleepwalks to a sixteen point. Win the one THING

930
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,159
i kind of am in agreement with is, like because

931
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:27,440
The providence fans get up for their home games and

932
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,199
it's a good atmosphere For providence, BASKETBALL i, think, like you, Know,

933
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,840
hurly as smug as he, is is not just gonna

934
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,800
like allow, that, Right, Like he's gonna go in and

935
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,599
probably have his team, focused and if they're, focused they're probably.

936
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 2: Winning that by double.

937
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: Digits SO i agree with you And, rob you have

938
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,079
the option if you want to go ten minus one

939
00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:48,480
twenty in the parlay to not like lose your.

940
00:46:48,519 --> 00:46:51,679
Speaker 2: Number that's cool. Too oh all, right we can we

941
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:52,000
can do.

942
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:54,159
Speaker 3: That AND i will say real, quick what made me

943
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,840
think of you right away in that quote was the

944
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,639
piece Where Kim english, says we're the exact same team

945
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:01,960
that's struggles to play together at. Times AND i know

946
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,440
you're the one that brought it to our attention that

947
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,199
the young class and the upper class might be.

948
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: Like oil and.

949
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 3: Water and maybe that's What Kim english is referring to.

950
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,519
Here he's got to have certain rotations because certain guys

951
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:15,920
just don't play together really.

952
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah my one of my good friends is A

953
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,679
providence alum has been like very close to the basketball

954
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:27,199
program since he was a student, there which is late

955
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,480
you two and, nine twenty. Eleven he's a little younger than,

956
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,159
me so it's been tight with the program for like fifteen.

957
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,199
Years and that's WHERE i got. That so it's like

958
00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:39,559
probably legit now that was a little while. Ago earlier

959
00:47:39,559 --> 00:47:41,719
in the, season like you think, that you, know they

960
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,239
could iron those things, out but then, Again. Robin today's

961
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,159
day and age where guys can get in the mindset

962
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,320
LIKE i can just go somewhere else at the end

963
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,960
of the. Season there might they might not. Right it

964
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:56,280
might just be like af this, Guy i'm out of

965
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,480
here at the end of the. Year if you, know

966
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,000
like like no one you used to have to like

967
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,639
try to team build and work to get on the same.

968
00:48:03,679 --> 00:48:07,400
Page now it's like the second someone's, unhappy one foots

969
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,039
out the door and it's, like where AM i going?

970
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:11,519
Speaker 2: Next and so it may only get.

971
00:48:11,519 --> 00:48:14,679
Speaker 1: Worse so maybe he's just alluding, to you, know the

972
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:18,800
lack of chemistry and and and and THAT'S i feel

973
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,679
Like i've seen that this year With. PROVIDENCE i know

974
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,639
they kind of Surprised Sat Saint, john's but nothing about

975
00:48:24,639 --> 00:48:27,719
This providence team is gives me a, warm fuzzy. Feeling

976
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:30,679
so there's zero CHANCE i would play them. Here it

977
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,719
could only Be yukon AND i think you're you're probably

978
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:39,280
on the right. Side, okay let's, uh we got ten minutes,

979
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:40,199

00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,159
head was at going into that. Game was was you,

995
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:33,800
know PLAYING unc just to win the. GAME i think

996
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,679
it was like a pick and they had no chance AGAINST.

997
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,840
Smu So i'm GLAD i passed on that. GAME smu

998
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,360
now turns, around hits the road To Little John. Coliseum

999
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,679
they're a. Dog clemson's just a frustrating team to play.

1000
00:49:47,679 --> 00:49:51,639
Against Ask. Syracuse New year's e was Was Brad brownell

1001
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,000
came in and just put on a. Clinic I've i've you,

1002
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:58,880
know he even With Pat kelsey in the league and

1003
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,000
shire Like brad BROWN i now constantly underappreciated in the

1004
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,920
coaching rings in my, Opinion rob and if he has

1005
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,599
a good game plan, here he's probably gonna BE.

1006
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 2: Smu how are you looking at this, One CLEMSON.

1007
00:50:10,039 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 3: Smu, well let's just start with what might be one

1008
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,239
of the most underrated cards in the country And Boopy

1009
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,920
miller FOR, smu, RIGHT i, mean because he's there In,

1010
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:26,199
dallas they don't get a ton of EXPOSURE tv, wise

1011
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,199
but the guard tandem on this team is.

1012
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,559
Speaker 2: PHENOMENAL i want.

1013
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,519
Speaker 3: To give you something really quick here from both head

1014
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:35,280
Coaches Andy, enfeld and this is WHERE i kind of

1015
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,239
fell on this game because this is kind of a

1016
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:42,639
breaking point FOR, smu which appears to have a really

1017
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,239
solid team this. Year But Andy enfeld, said we have

1018
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,159
some goals we want to accomplish and we want to.

1019
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:50,880
Complete our players believe we can compete for THE Acc.

1020
00:50:51,039 --> 00:50:54,079
Championship our players are bought in and they're. Competing that

1021
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:57,280
showed up AGAINST, unc with all that height THAT unc,

1022
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,960
has it did not matter AGAINST. Smu counter to, That

1023
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:03,960
brad brownell really. Quick, obviously we've had a good. Start

1024
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,079
we've got sixteen more. GAMES i think our team has

1025
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:10,559
improved a lot over the last month because we've practiced,

1026
00:51:10,599 --> 00:51:12,679
more we've had more time to study.

1027
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,159
Speaker 2: Film it's helped us.

1028
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:20,639
Speaker 3: GROW i think ATHLETICALLY smu is the better. Team now

1029
00:51:21,159 --> 00:51:23,719
they have to start going into these venues Like Little

1030
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,440
john and coming away with. Victories and this one could be.

1031
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:30,559
Tough like you, Say clemson's not an easy.

1032
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:32,079
Speaker 2: Opponent so.

1033
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:36,599
Speaker 3: To respond to your quote or to your analysis Of

1034
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,199
brownell will probably devise a game a good game. Plan

1035
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,119
it's going to be to stop these. Guards that they're

1036
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:46,039
going to focus solely on stopping these guards and maybe

1037
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:49,280
trying to control SMU's pace a little, bit because IF

1038
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,719
smu Gets clemson in some type of up and down

1039
00:51:54,199 --> 00:51:57,679
for a short period of, time they can do some.

1040
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,920
DAMAGE i kind of think they can stay close, Here.

1041
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,039
ADAM i like What i've seen out OF. Smu i've

1042
00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:10,840
tried to try and play the negative, role thinking that you, know,

1043
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,000
okay this is the, time this is the, time this

1044
00:52:13,079 --> 00:52:17,199
is the. Time but they seem to come through at

1045
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,519
every turn. Here so for, ME i really love good

1046
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:24,079
backcourts in college. BASKETBALL i think they dictate everything that goes.

1047
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:27,599
On i've probably LEANED smu, here But i'll tell you

1048
00:52:27,679 --> 00:52:29,920
this is probably the. Game i'm most interested to watch,

1049
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,840
TONIGHT i really, am BECAUSE i want to see IF

1050
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,679
smu can overcome road hurdles in THE acc against quality,

1051
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,000
competition because if they can pull this off, tonight they

1052
00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:40,519
do have a.

1053
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: Legitimate chance of winning this.

1054
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: Conference, YEAH i think it's going to take another big

1055
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:51,199
shooting performance from three FOR smu to call it going and. Win,

1056
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,760
now my number was, four which is pretty much in

1057
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,639
line with what the what the market. Is you, know

1058
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,400
what What brownell will do and what This clemson team

1059
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,719
will do is is pretty much not ALLOW smu to

1060
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,639
just like get, out run up and down and get

1061
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:09,440
out in. Transition they Did clemson did a great job

1062
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:12,000
of and they always do a good job in defending,

1063
00:53:12,039 --> 00:53:15,599
that but specifically Against, syracuse who really needed some transition

1064
00:53:15,639 --> 00:53:21,400
buckets in that game to Score clemson that gave them

1065
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,559
nothing in transition like, That If Donnie freeman didn't go

1066
00:53:24,639 --> 00:53:26,480
nuts in the second, Half syracuse would have lost that

1067
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,079
game by. Twenty they couldn't get out and run at.

1068
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:31,000
All so, that's you, know that's going to be the

1069
00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:34,920
key FOR. Smu can they replicate that shooting performance Against North?

1070
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 2: Carolina? Now can they go on the road and do

1071
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:37,559
it and.

1072
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,639
Speaker 1: DON'T i don't know the answer To that's Why i'm

1073
00:53:39,639 --> 00:53:41,599
not gonna vet the, game BECAUSE i do think that it's.

1074
00:53:41,639 --> 00:53:44,280
Possible and if the threes are falling FOR, smu then

1075
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,519
suddenly that four and a half, looks you, know looks

1076
00:53:47,519 --> 00:53:50,920
not half. Bad BUT i don't, Know and for that,

1077
00:53:51,039 --> 00:53:53,039
REASON i won't have action in that.

1078
00:53:53,119 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 2: Game sometimes you just need to watch and real.

1079
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,639
Speaker 3: Quick, here the cop game For clemson would be The

1080
00:53:58,679 --> 00:54:02,880
georgia game ninety seven ninety four. Overtime georgia plays similar

1081
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,239
style TO smu eighty. Eighty at the end of, regulation

1082
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:07,039
let's get To.

1083
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:09,679
Speaker 2: Garth all, Right, garth thank you for the.

1084
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 1: Donation and, yeah we've actually hit more big conferences than you.

1085
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: Know it's, hey we go off what you guys want

1086
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:16,639
to talk about the.

1087
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: QUESTIONS a lot of them have been to the power,

1088
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,480
Conferences so we've got to get some of the little

1089
00:54:21,519 --> 00:54:26,679
guys in. Here And garth is asking About Citadel mercer

1090
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,880
AS i lose my spot and try to get back to.

1091
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,199
It thoughts On Mercer, citadel he, SAYS i Like. Mercer, Well,

1092
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,239
Garth i've said on this show multiple TIMES i Think

1093
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,039
citadel is one of the worst college basketball teams in the.

1094
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:42,119
Country so there is no way That i'm going to

1095
00:54:42,199 --> 00:54:45,519
Take citadel in a game against A mercer team That

1096
00:54:45,559 --> 00:54:47,320
i've backed a couple of times this. Year AND i

1097
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,400
actually THINK i actually Have mercer rob as a somewhat

1098
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,880
of a dark horse in what is a so calm

1099
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,480
that it's just not nearly as, good not nearly as

1100
00:54:57,519 --> 00:54:59,679
deep as it's been in years. PAST i think this

1101
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,199
is a down as The soocon has been in a.

1102
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,360
While you, Know chattanooga has not panned. Out you, know

1103
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,119
some of these other teams lost head. Coaches it is

1104
00:55:09,199 --> 00:55:11,719
just a you, Know greensboro is nothing like they've been

1105
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,760
the last couple of, Years so it's a it's a

1106
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,400
down year for the. LEAGUE i kind of Think mercer

1107
00:55:16,519 --> 00:55:19,760
might emerge and like win this league this, year just

1108
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,039
like you, know because they, haven't they haven't contended in

1109
00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:26,119
a while for this for a league. TITLE i Think

1110
00:55:26,159 --> 00:55:29,400
mercer might be that good in this. Case my number

1111
00:55:29,519 --> 00:55:34,559
was like nineteen and a, half SO i certainly don't

1112
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:35,480
agree with the move.

1113
00:55:35,599 --> 00:55:37,559
Speaker 2: Down, Yeah, Garth i'm with.

1114
00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:41,119
Speaker 1: You i've been avoiding laying these like huge, favorites but

1115
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,679
fifteen and a Half. Mercer, uh definitely some value. THERE

1116
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,960
i made this number over nineteen, Points so, YEAH i

1117
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:51,840
like The mercer side. Here anything On Citadel mercer for, You, ROB.

1118
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,679
Speaker 3: I just think the situation sticks out Toward. Mercer, right

1119
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,760
you lose your first two conference, games both on the

1120
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,159
road against good. Opponents, Right furman And etsu are good.

1121
00:56:03,199 --> 00:56:06,639
Teams ETSU i think is undefeated right now in. League

1122
00:56:06,679 --> 00:56:08,840
they've only played a couple of. Games but you come

1123
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,719
off the, road step down in class your conference home.

1124
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,280
Opener that type of situation just, Plays and especially when

1125
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,559
you have a team that you can take your frustrations out.

1126
00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,840
On city does one of those teams we like to

1127
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,519
call them get right. Games mercer can get right, here

1128
00:56:26,639 --> 00:56:29,199
win a game by, twenty get their confidence, back and

1129
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,920
go from. There SO i, think, situationally it just Screams.

1130
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,039
Mercer IF i was going to, play that's the WAY

1131
00:56:34,039 --> 00:56:34,320
i would.

1132
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: Play, yeah this might be this might be tough to

1133
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,800
find at your at any. Book i'm Sure i'm sure

1134
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,159
it's exists. Somewhere but, Yeah mercer is zero and two

1135
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,800
to start conference. Play but like they probably lost to

1136
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,599
two of the better teams in the, league and both

1137
00:56:50,599 --> 00:56:53,000
of them on the. ROAD i think this is a

1138
00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:56,400
great time to Bet mercer to win the Cell coon

1139
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,039
because you'll get as good of a number as you'll

1140
00:56:59,039 --> 00:57:02,000
ever get for that. Bet and the two games they

1141
00:57:02,039 --> 00:57:05,159
lost were arguably the best two teams they'll play in conference,

1142
00:57:05,159 --> 00:57:07,920
play both on the. Road so like you want to

1143
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,440
talk about a good value bet because those teams this,

1144
00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:12,840
year The furman's and The, etsus are Not they're not

1145
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,639
like running the. Table it is going to be the

1146
00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:18,480
winner of this league probably has like five or six

1147
00:57:19,039 --> 00:57:21,920
five losses in conference play because no one is, great

1148
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,480
so they're kind of kind of beat up on each.

1149
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,119
Other so that's something that that's your guys homework in the.

1150
00:57:26,199 --> 00:57:28,159
Chat someone find that and let me know where it. Is,

1151
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,960
well who's offering so con conference odds right, now that's

1152
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,760
what we need to know of the look at it.

1153
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Later all, Right, rob we are at the end of the.

1154
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,280

Speaker 2: Go but before we, GO i.

1174
00:58:33,679 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: Will recap the parlay we're gonna go with yukon minus

minus one fifteen minus, one twenty, juice depending on your.

1177
00:58:43,159 --> 00:58:47,480
Book and THEN i Think Saint louis right, now it's

1178
00:58:47,719 --> 00:58:52,000
reasonable to call it plus Or i'm, Sorry, Yeah Saint,

1179
00:58:52,039 --> 00:58:54,639
louis we should be able to call that one plus.

1180
00:58:54,719 --> 00:58:58,519
THREE i keep losing my. Spot, yeah we'll call it plus.

1181
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:01,320
Three it seems like plus three is the most widely,

1182
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:06,280
available so yukon minus Ten Saint louis plus THREE i

1183
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,400
factored in the, juice so we'll call it plus two.

1184
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:14,079
Fifty chop around, obviously as as always chop. Around Saint

1185
00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:16,199
louis plus two and a half is a four percent

1186
00:59:16,199 --> 00:59:19,039
