1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in everybody. It is Wednesday. It's time

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,480
for full court press, right off the bat, back to

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:12,080
back parlays. You can't ask for a better start to

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,519
the season. We get it done again last night, Easier

5
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:18,719
than Monday. I feel like, do we even have a sweat?

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800
Was there a I can't, well, my leg was kind

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,920
of a sweat. NCA and T got close to the number,

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,960
but in the end it got there pretty easily. Rob

9
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,120
had sixty points in the first half and his Brian

10
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:31,440
remind me, what was your leg again? I forget.

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: We had the under in Mount Saint Mary's, West Virginia

12
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:36,439
that was really never in doubt.

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: They were on pace.

14
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were on pace for the one twenties pretty

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,640
much the whole time. It actually picked up late, but

17
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,759
we had enough wiggle room that it was cool. Yeah,

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,759
I would say that it was easier than the first day.

19
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:49,840
The first day we had what two half point covers

20
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,119
in thee Yeah, but I mean North Carolina A and

21
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:54,840
T they were covering. Correct me if I'm wrong, Trick,

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,280
Obviously you were paying more attention to that than I was.

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,119
But there was only a brief moment where they fell

24
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:01,880
out of the money and it was kind of late,

25
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,600
but they didn't let it get away from him credit too.

26
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I was more referring to so that

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,920
game the first half was you know that happens though

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,560
in some of these twenty twenty two twenty three point spreads,

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,519
and we'll talk about others today, like there's usually gonna

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,159
be one half that ends up being sort of like

31
00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:22,760
the lopsided half, and it's a good way. I texted

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,640
Kelly at halftime of the K State game yesterday and

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,239
I was just like, listen, I haven't watched a minute

34
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,560
of this game, and I really didn't. I hadn't watched

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,400
a second, I said, but I'm just looking at the

36
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:37,760
stats and some of the missed shots and stuff, and

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,760
I was like, I bet this is a good second half,

38
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:42,640
be for K State, knowing that Greensboro is not. I

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,239
don't think it is a very good team. And of

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,239
course they come out cover the second half, cover the

41
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:49,519
full game, win the half by thirty. So it's like,

42
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,000
I do feel like you see that oftentimes in some

43
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,799
of these like very very lopside of games. It's probably

44
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,400
a relatively good angle. I mean, if you have a

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,840
twenty five point favorite that come out and is down

46
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,079
two at halftime. You know, I feel like you have

47
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,159
a good chance to cover the second half. So it's again,

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,360
it's not gonna work all the time, but yeah, go ahead, Brian, I.

49
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: Was gonna say.

50
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: Some are saying, what if we hit the parlay of

51
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,879
the day every day all season?

52
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:16,759
Speaker 3: Some are already asking that question.

53
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: We may not be here next year. We maybe, you know,

54
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:21,919
we may, I mean we may not have to.

55
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: We may have our own island.

56
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Yes. By the way, folks, if you are enjoying, if

57
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,560
you have caught this program either of the first two

58
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,639
days of the season, and you have enjoyed the Parlay

59
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,280
of the Day, if you just enjoyed the content we've

60
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,800
been sharing, please smash that like one and the chapter

61
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,800
saying the thumbs up button turns into a basketball when

62
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,840
you hit it. That is not my department, so I'm

63
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960
gonna take that court. But that that is fun, it sounds.

64
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Thank you Victoria L for your comment, and Colin, nice

65
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,960
to see.

66
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: You back in the chat doing well.

67
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, you guys, don't forget to smash the like

68
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,000
button and comment out any game.

69
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: It's a short slate today.

70
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:59,159
Speaker 2: Trigg and Rob h So obviously we'll probably be able

71
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,080
to get to more games, so common down below. Go

72
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,919
ahead and fire those off and we'll be sure to

73
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,759
answer your questions. Also, don't forget to click subscribe.

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: I want to get Rob in here and we'll go

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680
right off. You know you're right, Brian. Not the best slate,

76
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,520
not no real feature game. But but I suppose we'll call.

77
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,439
We'll call Creighton South Dakota the feature game it's on.

78
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,479
It is an eight pm Eastern start. I believe this

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,639
is on the Peacock app for if you're wondering which

80
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120
of the ten apps that you need to use to

81
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,599
watch games tonight, this one looks to be on Peacock

82
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,360
and it's got probably our most notable team that's playing today,

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,319
in the Creighton Blue Jays. I have an opinion on

84
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:47,800
South Dakota. Rob is no longer in his chair, which

85
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,960
is which is fine me?

86
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:50,639
Speaker 3: Something I said.

87
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:56,639
Speaker 1: He is. He has decided that he's out there his

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,479
It's funny because I think I might have heard his

89
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,280
dog bark or so here he's we have a new

90
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,039
dog trainer here with one of our dogs today, and

91
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,080
so if you hear like barking or it sounds like

92
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520
a thunderstorm. That is likely what's going on their valories

93
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,360
upstairs with the new trainer right now. And we are

94
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,800
trying to make our one dog less than an asshole.

95
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,439
That is the goal. So we'll see it. We'll see

96
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,120
if we can do that. He's he's great, he's great

97
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,720
to us. He's a jerk to our other dog. That's

98
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:29,439
the problem. But neither here nor they're rob rob is

99
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,399
and we got to get going. People are filing in

100
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,839
and they want to hear miss freight in South Dakota.

101
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:37,160
So so kick us off here out in Omaha tonight.

102
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get to South Dakota.

103
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:40,759
Speaker 1: First.

104
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: Guys, they lose to Utah Tech in overtime the other night,

105
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:45,680
so they've got a game under their belt, like a

106
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,399
couple other teams that we'll talk about here today possibly,

107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,160
And now you play crazing. It makes it makes me

108
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:57,879
wonder a little bit. I'm going to start with this

109
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,279
South Dakota last year is a guy who bets a

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,600
Summit League, a very fast paced team. To see that

111
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,639
game at sixty eight sixty eight at the end of

112
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,600
regulation was a little bit of a surprise to me.

113
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,560
So I went to the tempo numbers to see, and

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,399
they are playing a little bit slower here, which doesn't

115
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,040
bode well for them against Creighton. Now, my take on

116
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:26,959
Creighton is without Ryan Kalkbrenner, without Nembhard, but especially Kaulkbrenner,

117
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,560
and with the roster that they've comprised this season heading in,

118
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120
it seems to me like Creighton, which is already an uptempo,

119
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,600
high scoring team, maybe even a little more up tempo.

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,160
So when I bridged those two together, South Dakota trying

121
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:45,319
to play a little bit slower, Crayton may be playing

122
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,240
a little bit quicker just because of the roster construction.

123
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Separation could be created fairly easily here by the Creighton

124
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Blue Jays. And if that becomes the case, then all

125
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,959
of a sudden, the number looks a little bit smaller.

126
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,600
Twenty nine never looks small to me, So I won't

127
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:07,240
be involved because we don't know how late second half,

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920
last six minutes, last five minutes go. We know how

129
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:12,839
that works in a college hoop. Couple of threes and

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,160
all of a sudden, game you were covering all along,

131
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,240
you don't cover anymore. But I would think Creighton's the

132
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,000
right side here. The total to me has gotten out

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,879
of range one sixty eight and a half, and I'd

134
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,519
almost lean towards the under. Now the money's come in

135
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:30,040
on the over, but I think I would lean under here.

136
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,199
There were a couple of quotes I read from Greg

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,480
McDermott which were every coach does this, guys, so you

138
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,480
got to take it at base value. They all love

139
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,959
to preach a little better defense, right And I see

140
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560
McDermott out there got a couple of guys incoming this

141
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,600
season who are defensive minded players, and maybe that'll be

142
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:53,319
an attribute of creating this season. But for me, I

143
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,519
think they'll take advantage of their quickness against the South

144
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Dakota team that wants to play a little bit slower.

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
I think their defense probably prevents South Dakota from scoring

146
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,639
enough to get this thing up and over the total.

147
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,720
So my best lean here would probably be under one

148
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:10,879
sixty eight and a half.

149
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: You could, I guess.

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: I wouldn't argue anybody off of the South Dakota team total,

151
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,839
but I wouldn't trust it as much as I would

152
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,040
trust full game under.

153
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: I concur with that completely. That would be my lean

154
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:26,439
as well. Right before we got on, I saw that

155
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,360
total continue to be bet up, and I would punch

156
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,639
back at the market on this one. I talk good

157
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,800
friend of mine, Clint, I think you know him as well.

158
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,560
Trigg lives in South Dakota. He didn't like this team.

159
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,000
He didn't like this Coyotes.

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,079
Speaker 3: Team at all.

161
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: Thinks they're a mess. Thinks head coach Eric Peterson not

162
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720
maybe long for the position. As a matter of fact,

163
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,839
now we should point out Creyton as a Gonzaga. I

164
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,079
believe this on it's next week. I believe that would

165
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:53,000
be their next game. But yeah, I don't Crighton's going

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,720
to slow it down a little bit. And you know,

167
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
I think the hope is betting an under. Rob As

168
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,199
you kind of alluded to, Creighton's got a big lead,

169
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,519
they can sit on it and then the pace dies

170
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,040
over the last five minutes we got them. I mean

171
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,600
it is a high high number. Uh it wasn't now

172
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:11,720
to one sixty nine. So yeah, I would plun I

173
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:15,079
would see how high. My advice to everyone watching live,

174
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:17,720
don't bet it yet, keep an eye on the board,

175
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,199
see how high we go. When you think the market's peaked,

176
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,839
come in on the under. That's uh, that's what that

177
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,279
would be My lean as well.

178
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Clinton is great and and Clint actually used

179
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,559
to coach basketball at South Dakota. I can't remember which team.

180
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,120
I think maybe it was the women's team. I can't remember,

181
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,799
but like I would trust his opinion on South Dakota basketball.

182
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,240
One two before I I want to give my sort

183
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,240
of South Dakota angle. But one thing I find interesting

184
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:50,200
with Creighton is there so so they already know who

185
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,519
their next coach is gonna be. It's gonna be a

186
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:56,559
huss from High Point who left High Point to basically

187
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,480
be the coach in waiting at Creighton. And so Rob,

188
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,159
I'll go back to you before talking about South Dakota.

189
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,639
Do you think this Creton team might start to play

190
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,360
more like High Point teams the past couple of years?

191
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,240
And the reason that that's super interesting is like he

192
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,399
mostly played slower, like with the exception of there were

193
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,879
two years ago. I think he had Duke Miles, who

194
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,120
ended up leaving High Point and going to Oklahoma, who

195
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:28,039
was just an insanely fast player like he just you

196
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,559
couldn't didn't matter what you were gonna do, you couldn't

197
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240
play slow when you had him, because he was just

198
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,759
it didn't matter what they were going to tell him

199
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360
he was just the way he played was super fast.

200
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Last year at times I went down first of all,

201
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,279
Cuban Center, nicest place had ever been, incredible campus, That

202
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,679
arena is the nicest arena I've ever been in. I

203
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,879
got to see high Point play in person last year.

204
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:52,039
Watched a bunch of their games and they played they

205
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,039
played a lot slower. So does that kind of like,

206
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360
do you think McDermott starts to let him sort of

207
00:09:57,879 --> 00:09:59,799
coach the team the way he wants to coach it

208
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,360
because he's the next coach? Like, is that something that

209
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:05,240
you take into consideration at all?

210
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: You know, it always depends how you recruit to it, Adam,

211
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,039
If the recruiting continues to be the way it is,

212
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,919
then I wouldn't think that happens. Kids come to Creighton

213
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,120
to play a certain style, whether he changes that recruiting

214
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,679
process to fit more of what he did at High Point.

215
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,320
I think we probably have to watch the recruiting stuff

216
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,679
or the transfer portal stuff, right, and generally speaking, kids

217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,879
that go to Power Conference I'm gonna insert Creighton as

218
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:42,000
a Power Conference team, right. Teams that go there want

219
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,799
to play certain styles, the slow down stuff in major

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,360
college basketball doesn't really appeal to kids, so I would

221
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:51,080
think he might have to adapt. And I'll say one

222
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,120
last thing here. We talked yesterday about Corey Barnett right

223
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:58,960
at Oral Roberts. His entire background, basically as an assistant

224
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,000
coach was slow, low, slow, and yet he gets to

225
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,240
Oral Roberts and he immediately says, we want to play

226
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000
blazing fast. So these guys can change their minds in

227
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:12,840
a heartbeat. If McDermott is coaching him to run this

228
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,080
team a certain way. I think there's things we can

229
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,600
look at guys that will tell a tale here, especially

230
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,120
off of this season's results. But I don't know how

231
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:24,279
to answer that question accurately right now, other than say,

232
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,080
watch how they play this season, watch how they recruit,

233
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
or what they what they get from the portal, and

234
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,919
then we'll probably have our answer if the coach doesn't

235
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,720
tell us himself.

236
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: I do hear the echo as well. I'm going to

237
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
try to figure out, like where that's coming from. We

238
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,279
don't have a producer back here, so it's like, I

239
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,080
don't I don't think it's my setup. Someone said Trigg

240
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,440
has an echo. I don't think it's my setup. Producing

241
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,639
the echo, So we'll try to figure that out. Yeah,

242
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,039
just me, we'll try to I don't hear an echo,

243
00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:58,399
so maybe Brian doesn't hear an echo. I hear it

244
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,759
in my ear buds, just very faintly. We will try

245
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:03,759
to figure out where that's coming from. I think what

246
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,080
I'll probably start to do when I'm not speaking is

247
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,600
mute myself and and maybe you guys can as well.

248
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:12,240
We'll just see who's got the echo, I suppose, because

249
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:14,320
we want to make sure you want to listen to

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:14,720
this show.

251
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: And thank you for letting us know.

252
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,519
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, thank you for letting us know. And we'll,

253
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:23,320
like I said, we we can have our we can

254
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,399
have the producers jump in tweak stuff, figure out what's

255
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,840
what it is. But I've never had an echo with

256
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,240
this setup, so it says the echo is only on

257
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:36,320
trigger and Rob, let me see my echo is turned

258
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,639
all the way down. But anyway, we'll power through. We'll

259
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,919
figure it out. It's it's day three, so we're still

260
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,840
working out the kinks as well. So what I'll say

261
00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:48,679
about South Dakota, I agree with Clint. I do think

262
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,440
that this team is not what they hope to be

263
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,360
yet to this point. So I'm gonna go back to

264
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,200
Monday for a second. Because I talked about South Dakota.

265
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,080
I wanted to bet against this team, and I hedged

266
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,960
off the bet. And the reason I hedged off the

267
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,679
bet was because I got a wind that Utah Tech

268
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,200
would have two of their best players out, which they did.

269
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,440
So I was happy that I hedged off the bet because,

270
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,639
forget the outcome, I got the info right. Utah Tech

271
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,159
was missing two of their best players. I did not

272
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,159
want to bet on Utah Tech with two of their

273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,080
best players out. That being said, they still went into Vermilion,

274
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,279
into South Dakota and beat South Dakota without two of

275
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,840
their best players. That is very concerning to me. I

276
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,879
feel like that's a game that you take Marvel Allen

277
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
and the other guy that was out off that Utah

278
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Tech roster that South Dakota should probably win at home

279
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,399
South Dakota. The reason, part of the other reason I

280
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,320
went against them was Dotzler. I had a feeling what

281
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:49,279
was going to be out, and they had some guys

282
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:52,200
banged up in their exhibitions. He was out. So that's

283
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,480
Josiah Doetsler. He was the He's their transfer from Saint Louis.

284
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,120
I think he's probably the most talented guy on their roster,

285
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:01,879
definitely one of them. If he was out on Monday,

286
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,480
I'd be kind of surprised if they play him here

287
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:07,799
two days later against a game, in a game that

288
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600
you're probably not gonna win anyway. Uh, So that would

289
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,399
be my concern there. So I it's tough. It's hard

290
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600
to lay a huge number like that, but I wouldn't

291
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,120
want any part of South Dakota without without uh without

292
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:25,639
doutes are on the floor, and they're a team that

293
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:28,120
I think I more or less am going to look

294
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:32,320
to fade until their roster's full strength. So so yeah,

295
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,320
that's a I wish I had something better there, but

296
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360
just just some info on in my opinion, I don't

297
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,440
see how you convet South Dakota without him, So okay,

298
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:45,720
uh the Jay Dog Joe Dog says he thinks the

299
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,159
FEDS are tapping in. Yeah, well, you know it's very possible.

300
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:52,759
Speaker 4: I don't hear it anymore, guys.

301
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hear anymore either. I don't have any

302
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,679
info on a fixed game, So I don't think the

303
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Feds care about the show. But we are we are

304
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:04,279
still trying to win bets, and that's what we're going

305
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,039
to continue to do. Uh, Jay Buff says, we all

306
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,639
aim an apology. Yeah, Robert Morris and Iowa played that

307
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:14,759
was I wasn't expecting one hundred and one from Iowa.

308
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Robert Morris is kind of a mess. I think that

309
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,879
game got out of hand. Go ahead, Brian, you want

310
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:21,519
to do you want to comment on that?

311
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Jay Buff targeted me. I thought that

312
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:25,960
was uncalled for.

313
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Frankly, j Buff Okay, I thought it was very logical

314
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,320
to suspect when you go with the coaching change. I

315
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,399
think any person would have read that coaching change and

316
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,279
suspected there would be a decrease in temple from the

317
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,919
Iowa side.

318
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: We got it wrong.

319
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:40,279
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean I saw that score

320
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:44,559
and I said, well, guess, uh guess that's not gonna

321
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,679
be the way it is. But I think it's here's

322
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,159
what's important. Thought trigger Rob Okay. The first game, it

323
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,039
was the read was completely wrong on the coaching change.

324
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,159
But last I checked, there's more than one college basketball

325
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:59,399
game in the season, so that I think it's still

326
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,559
something that you need to pay attention to moving forward.

327
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,960
Because I'm not convinced that Iowa's tempo won't decrease overall

328
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440
this season. Ollow Jay buff is now all of a

329
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,480
sudden retreating after I've called him out.

330
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I see yeah, I mean, listen, we watched a full

331
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,399
season of a column at Drake It's it's listen. One

332
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,720
game that gets a little bit out of hand against

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,440
a very inferior opponent, It's really hard to say like

334
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,360
that that something's going to go a certain way. I'll

335
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,960
be interested to see what Iowa looks like when they

336
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,200
play like a quality team. That that'll be. That'll be

337
00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:35,519
where I think I start to make opinions on maybe

338
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:39,080
how he's going to coach. And Rob texted us last

339
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,080
night and said, you know, he may have to speed

340
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,519
it up a little bit just to sort of coach

341
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960
to his roster, right because like, he brings a couple

342
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,200
of guys in, but he has some guys that are

343
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,039
still holdovers that are accustomed playing a certain way. Maybe

344
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,200
it's going to fall somewhere in the middle. I'll go

345
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,279
over to Rob. I've got an opinion on this game,

346
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,679
but I'll go to Rob first. Jacob Heffler. Heffner says,

347
00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:01,320
are we running it back? With Charlton today or is

348
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,919
LSU going to smack them down. Well, I've got my

349
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,880
Tarleton opinion, which i'll save for now. I'll go to

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Rob first. How are you seeing? Is there any reason

351
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,680
to be interested in LSU here?

352
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,799
Speaker 4: Well, the head coach certainly is interested in his team,

353
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:20,359
Matt McMahon. This year he's pleading to the LSU faithful

354
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,960
to fill the arena. I have to say, guys that

355
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,640
the addition of Deed and Thomas, after seeing him at

356
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,160
UNLV the past couple of years, to me is a

357
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,799
huge addition. LSU has gone to the portal to get

358
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:35,279
some guys here. I think they're improved, Adam. Now, the

359
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,680
Tarleton angle of this for me and what would keep

360
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:41,640
me off of LSU is it's LSU's first game out

361
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,119
of the box. They played an exhibition game about a

362
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,640
week ago where the first half was choppy, but the

363
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,519
second half was a forty six point second half with

364
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:54,240
a lot better defensive play. We'll see if that continues

365
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,319
into this game. But the teams with a game under

366
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:59,920
their belt I think have a little bit of an advantage.

367
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,119
Ye for Tarleton, they want to get these types of

368
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,400
games in before they get the conference season. Let's play

369
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,039
high ranking teams, high major teams and see where we stand.

370
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,359
That's probably the one thing that would keep me off

371
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,880
of LSU. But I would say in general, I expect

372
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:20,440
LSU to be higher scoring. I think this total is

373
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,039
a little bit low at one forty six and a half.

374
00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:25,200
I'm looking now as we speak, guys, and it's pushed

375
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,960
to one forty seven, So a little movement on the total.

376
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,200
That's where my belief would lie in this game, because

377
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,880
from what I've read, very quickly and try to get

378
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,680
between the lines, because the coach isn't going to tell

379
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,839
you everything. But I think if there is one problem

380
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,319
or concern of Matt McMahon at this point in time,

381
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,440
it would be his defense. I don't think he worries

382
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240
at all about the offense. They were putting on a

383
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:51,720
show the other night. I went back and watched a

384
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:54,599
little bit of the tape with deedon Thomas throwing lobs,

385
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,240
et cetera, et cetera, and they've got that type of

386
00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:00,000
capability offensively. So for me, it would be over if

387
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:02,039
you can still find the one forty six and a

388
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,279
half and they're not plentiful anymore. I've looked to this

389
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,240
game to get over I think Tarlton again, having one

390
00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:12,400
forty minute session already in the books, offense probably runs

391
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,480
a little bit smoother here.

392
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, I knew I was gonna get myself on that.

393
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:25,920
I said, anytime you mute yourself, I said, I'll be

394
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,279
the one that that messes it up. It never fails

395
00:19:28,279 --> 00:19:31,720
because I do typically don't mute myself, and then as

396
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,200
soon as I do, I forget. But this one, the

397
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,640
line is getting smoked right now. Not surprised about that

398
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,319
this listen, I'm not gonna put it. I don't. I'm

399
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:43,920
not gonna sell something three points off what I played

400
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,799
it at. So I will, I will. We'll just let

401
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:49,400
you know I played Tarleton State at plus eighteen and

402
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,319
a half. Benefit of you being a client, you would

403
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:55,319
have known that already before the show. This is down.

404
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,240
Someone's gonna probably play back at this a little bit.

405
00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:01,000
This is down to fifth teen and a half, sixteen

406
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,640
and a half. I see a seventeen some places. I

407
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,440
had a feeling it would move like that. I made

408
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,960
the number fifteen and a half here, and so I'll

409
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,319
talk about the Charleton State side of the coin. I

410
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,799
thought they looked great the other night, and that twenty

411
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,759
point finals very very deceiving. That was a They pretty

412
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,680
much hung with SMU the whole way. That was a

413
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,960
seven point game, eight point game the whole way. I

414
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,759
felt like they matched SMU's intensity. SMU is a very

415
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:34,279
good basketball team. They've got some shot makers, and there

416
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,440
was nothing about Tarleton's effort that didn't suggest that they

417
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,359
were absolutely one hundred percent the right side in that game.

418
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:43,799
I was right about Freddie Hicks playing and playing a

419
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,599
big part. Believe he had fifteen points. And I'll tell

420
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,759
you where that game got out of hand, and the

421
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,880
way it got to twenty Hicks filed out and SMU

422
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,279
went into this zone and Tarlton without Hicks, and then

423
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,160
the fact that they went into a zone, Tarlton just

424
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,319
couldn't make a shot last five minutes of the game.

425
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,839
That game went from like a six or seven point

426
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,039
game to a twenty point game in literally the last

427
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:10,160
five minutes of the game because SMU threw the zone

428
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,039
at them and then their best player filed out. So

429
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:14,920
I think you can give them a pass. They're like,

430
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,799
if you look at that and say, oh, well, yes,

431
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,759
Tarlton covered, But it was a twenty one point sport.

432
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,160
You know they barely covered. Yeah, that's true, but that

433
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000
would have been a horrific beat if they didn't cover that.

434
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,039
The way that game went, reason I would like them

435
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:31,359
here Again, LSU is not going to be able to

436
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,160
do that. Defensively, This does not look like it's going

437
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,960
to be a very good defensive team. Now, when I

438
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,039
say that, I say that in the context of the SEC. Obviously,

439
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:43,200
Charlton's not an SEC team. But I you know, that's

440
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,160
where I think they're gonna get. I think you're gonna

441
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,279
see some triple digits dropped down LSU once we get

442
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,039
to SEC play this year. I'll let you to chime

443
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:54,319
in on this. I heard they're not really spending money

444
00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:58,759
on basketball, like nil. Money is not really trickling into

445
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:02,039
basketball anymore, and people are a little bit upset at that.

446
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,519
But I guess when you spend as much money as

447
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:07,519
they did on football and coaches and buyouts and stuff,

448
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,000
maybe you don't have it for basketball. Who knows. But

449
00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:12,160
they're not spending what the rest of the conference is

450
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,160
and many are saying that that's why they're at the bottom.

451
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:17,000
So Brian, I'll go to you what did you have

452
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:17,599
to add here?

453
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're fifty four and a half million dollars

454
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,319
in the whole the athletic program from what I understand

455
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,519
right now. So I mean, yeah, that's less for everybody,

456
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:29,839
you know. So, look, I wanted to summarize with this.

457
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,599
To my right, I'm hearing calls for the over to

458
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,720
my left, I'm hearing calls for Tarleton. We're talking about

459
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,200
concern Rob brought up concerns with LSU's defense. Trigg, you

460
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:42,640
echoed that, you talk about the number coming down. As

461
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,920
I'm listening to you guys and I'm looking at the game,

462
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,680
I'm thinking, you know, Tarlet and State has obviously improved

463
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,200
offensively relative to last year.

464
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:49,799
Speaker 3: How could you not?

465
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,799
Speaker 2: They were a bad offense team. Tarlet and State team

466
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,839
total over sixty four and a half looks appealing to me.

467
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,920
As I digest and continue to handicap this game more,

468
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,720
I think they can get to that number.

469
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian, I want to jump in on that because

470
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:07,440
last year. So the reason that they were so bad

471
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,160
offensively last year is their entire offense was set up

472
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,440
to run through Freddie Hicks around Freddie Hicks, and he

473
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,480
got hurt in the preseason and he really he really

474
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:21,920
that's why he's back so to So the reason he's

475
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,640
even on the court is because he essentially missed his

476
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,200
whole super like senior year. I think it was it

477
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,160
was his normal senior year, only played about six games

478
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,759
because he just he was just hurt all year. Came back,

479
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:34,960
got like three games in was hurt. I think he

480
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,680
played five or six games all year. So he kind

481
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,119
of right now he's getting the tie on Grant Foster

482
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,960
treatment where that he's not even back for good, but

483
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:47,279
they're allowing him to play while they appeal something with

484
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,920
the NCAAA. I have a feeling they will win, just

485
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,079
because if they did it for Grant Foster at Gonzaga,

486
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,720
I don't see why, Like you know how that works, right, Like,

487
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:58,319
once they do it for one guy, it's it's like, Ope,

488
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:00,599
it's Pandora's box. I don't think they're gonna tell him

489
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,279
that he can't play, especially with how many games he's

490
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:06,680
missed over the course of his career. So that's why

491
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,599
the offense was so bad last year, is like they

492
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:11,359
really never had their their focal point. Now you bring

493
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
him back, he lives at the free throw line. So

494
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:16,319
that's always good for a team total over or over.

495
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,599
And then you've got guys like Dior Johnson, who is

496
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,759
an offense really like solid offensive player that they bring in.

497
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,720
Former pit pit guy who was at UCF for a year.

498
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,799
Cam McDowell's a D two guy that they got. That's

499
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:32,200
a score. So like, I think you're gonna see like

500
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,440
that Tarlton SMU total was like one for two or something.

501
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,400
It went it soared over on Monday. I think you're

502
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,400
gonna see quite quite a few more overs when it

503
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,119
comes to Charlton games until the market sort of catches up.

504
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,160
So I'm gonna see where these sort of I'm watching

505
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,640
the board move. I'll I'm not gonna throw this in

506
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,039
the parlay yet because I don't really want to take

507
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:57,240
like a bad number. But we'll see if it comes

508
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,640
back by the end of the show at all. But

509
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,480
I did, and I took sick eighteen and a half.

510
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,680
Maybe wait and see if it comes back, because sometimes

511
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:10,720
these games bounce back and forth throughout the day. All Right,

512
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,839
we're gonna have plenty. We're only we're twenty four minutes in,

513
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,759
We're only through two games, so I'm not worried about

514
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:20,480
having enough to get through in the show. Let me

515
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:25,720
go over to the chat and see what we've got here.

516
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,079
I got I see a bunch of them I want

517
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:32,839
to go to. All right, let's let's go to this

518
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,279
one and I'll still people are asking about this one,

519
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:37,359
and I'll go to Rob first, see if he has

520
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,519
an opinion. Here a battle in the state of New

521
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,799
Jersey tonight. People want to know Ty Gregorious wants to

522
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:48,000
know Ryder covers the twenty and a half against Rutgers.

523
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:53,119
Prove me wrong, Well, tie myself you And it looks

524
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,440
like some others kind of feel that way because that

525
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,200
one has also gotten hit pretty good. I'm seeing eighteen

526
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,200
and a half, I see nineteen some places, So I

527
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,480
forget who's the I'll throw it to whoever sort of

528
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:10,640
follows Rutgers in the Big ten. But give me the

529
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:15,680
Rutgers side and I'll talk about Ryder after you.

530
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: You want me, Brian, let me. I'll get in there

531
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:23,000
real quick, guys. And of course, coming from the totals perspective,

532
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:26,759
as I always do, whenever I see the name wherever

533
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:29,880
he's been throughout his coaching career, Steve Pichel, it immediately

534
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,079
sounds the alarm bells for defense and under Rutgers probably

535
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,440
won't be the most potent of offensive teams this year,

536
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:43,799
probably leaning a little bit more on the defensive side. Again,

537
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:47,160
I'm somewhat close to the situation here in PA, so

538
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,200
we get a little bit a lot of new Jersey stuff,

539
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,279
But the Ryder's side is probably an adam. I'm gonna

540
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:57,039
let you have that. It's probably the more interesting one here.

541
00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:00,720
I don't know. First of all, let me just talk

542
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:05,480
from a handicapping philosophy standpoint. When you have a game

543
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:10,279
side of minus nineteen and a total where we're at

544
00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:13,480
here of like one thirty nine and a half, it

545
00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:16,240
correlates kind of to dog and under if you like

546
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:19,759
the underside, So for me, it would probably be Rider.

547
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:24,960
If I was playing side, however, I would almost prefer

548
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,720
to play the Rutgers team total themselves under. In this

549
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:33,359
particular instance. They're nineteen and a half point favorite, which

550
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,559
means they're going to be obviously have the much larger

551
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:38,079
team total in this instance. And if I look at

552
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:41,519
it from the lens that I see this particular game

553
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:48,640
Rutgers being defensive minded, Rider being fairly slow, methodical pace team,

554
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,119
I don't know that Rutgers can get to the number.

555
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,079
And I'm going to get the exact team total right

556
00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:56,279
now so we can give it to you live. You're

557
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,440
talking about seventy nine and a half for Rutgers to

558
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,920
get to a to me, seems like a far fetched hypothesis.

559
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,880
Sods me, great conclusion. I don't think they get to

560
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,599
seventy nine and a half here, guys, And again for

561
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,839
somewhat simplistic reasons. But again, sometimes handicapping can be that simple.

562
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920
You've got a defensive minded head coach with a team

563
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
that really doesn't have a whole group full of scores.

564
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,200
I gets a team that plays pedestrian style pace. It's

565
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,359
an in state battle. I think you get that energy,

566
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,799
especially out of Ryder, right. I mean it's Rider playing

567
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:31,839
a big ten team, so you're gonna get forty four

568
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,519
minutes out of them. I would see this as a

569
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,079
Rutgers team total under seventy nine and a half. That

570
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,119
would be my best look.

571
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,279
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Brian.

572
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to throw something because I know you're

573
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,640
gonna make a case for the know maybe you weren't

574
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,640
going to make a case for the Riders.

575
00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Now you're right, you're right again.

576
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: Well, well I'm to you, and I think of, like, obviously,

577
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:53,160
look a game like this, I want to make a

578
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,160
case for the Dog as well. But my thought is,

579
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,759
am I seeing this correctly? I know they were playing Virginia.

580
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,000
I know they were not a prolific three point team

581
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:04,480
last year either. Ryder only attempted twelve threes in the

582
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:06,519
in the last case in the year, in the Year

583
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:09,880
of Our Lord twenty twenty five, Guys, you gotta get more.

584
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,160
You gotta get more shots up from behind the arc

585
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480
if you want to win or at least compete that

586
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,960
that would be my one concern with the Rider's side here.

587
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920
You can't only shoot twelve threes in a college basketball

588
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,160
Game of the Year twenty twenty five.

589
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I so a couple things here, and so again

590
00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:30,039
I'll just you know, I'll start by saying, like, before

591
00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:32,400
I get into the Rider angle, I want to talk

592
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:34,920
about pikel for a second, and and sort of some

593
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,160
of the stuff Rob said, like you got to understand

594
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,240
that last year he kind of sold his soul a

595
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,559
little bit, right he had. It was like it was

596
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,079
like Ace Bailey and or Ace Bailey. Dylan Harper did

597
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:50,960
not do not fit what Steve Pikel really wants to do.

598
00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:55,440
But like, you can't turn down to first round NBA guys,

599
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,039
like you just can't. So it's like and essentially what

600
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:01,279
that Rider team was last year was like those two

601
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:06,359
a very inferior roster and it's like, I Tell's teams

602
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:09,720
don't really like he basically had to make concessions for

603
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:13,079
those two and it was not a very good basketball

604
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:17,119
team outside of those two players. Now this team is

605
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,920
certainly not going to be better than that, But I

606
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,279
think we're at the start of him sort of rebuilding

607
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:28,200
to play the style of basketball that he's had success

608
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:30,599
with throughout his career, which is going to be like

609
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:34,759
very defense first, defense oriented. So Rob your your team

610
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680
total makes a lot of sense because I don't think

611
00:30:37,759 --> 00:30:40,319
that this is going to be a very good offensive

612
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:44,599
team at all in Rutgers, and I'd almost be willing

613
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,839
to say so. The point I'll make about the Rider

614
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:53,960
side this has been Rider basketball is they're a MAX school.

615
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,240
I've been watching Riders since you know, I was a

616
00:30:57,279 --> 00:30:59,720
little kid. They've always been in the same conference as

617
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,839
seeing a Badget has been their coach for fourteen years

618
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,519
now and it's always sort of the same thing for Rider.

619
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,359
They have, you know, they have a couple of guys

620
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,920
that can really ball. It's usually a couple of guards

621
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,000
that just like almost kind of carry the team. It's

622
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,240
always like one or two guys that carry the team,

623
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:25,240
and they're usually like they I don't think they've made

624
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,400
an NCAA tournament since the early nineties. They're never the best,

625
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:32,240
they're rarely the worst. And last year for a while

626
00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:34,400
they were in the basement of the MAC, and it

627
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,400
was it was like bad luck more than they were

628
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
a bad team. I thought they had I think their

629
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,480
first four MAC games they lost by like one possession,

630
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,200
Like they just had a really poor string of results,

631
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,599
a bunch of close losses, and they actually battled back

632
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:51,839
from that. I think they battled back to middle of

633
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,039
the pack. Reason I bring that up is I think

634
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,400
they might be a little bit underrated in the context

635
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,119
of the of the MAC this year. Now they very

636
00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:01,000
well may finish near about him. But as we talked

637
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,759
about yesterday with Mount Saint Mary's, it's because there's a

638
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:05,759
lot of other good teams in the MAC this year.

639
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,079
The back wasn't as good last year as it was

640
00:32:08,119 --> 00:32:10,400
this year. So a team like Ryder being projected to

641
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,319
be tenth or eleventh is it's like, you know, I mean,

642
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,279
it very well could happen, but it doesn't mean that

643
00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:19,279
they are like a worse team than they were last year.

644
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:21,440
It just means everyone else ahead of them is better.

645
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,240
Three guards now, Aaron Kidd, that's our that's our friend,

646
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:28,640
and Virginia Insider will call him Brian.

647
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:31,799
Speaker 2: That's he's very upset with me right now because of

648
00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:34,039
the video I posted about the football team. He was

649
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,640
very very he was very very upset about what I

650
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,359
had to say. Look already cashed him over six and

651
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:40,799
a half wins.

652
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:41,519
Speaker 3: What do you want for me?

653
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:48,279
Speaker 1: He is, he's a Virginia season ticket holder. Most he's

654
00:32:48,279 --> 00:32:51,319
at most football games, most basketball games. He said he

655
00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:54,400
was really impressed with Flash Burton in that game against Virginia,

656
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,640
and I would say, like, when you look at the

657
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,039
guards in this game, next to the Rutgers guards, Riders guards,

658
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:03,599
I don't know if they're better, but they're certainly on part.

659
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,279
The guy was really excited about last year. Zion Cruise

660
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:11,200
was a community college guy and someone in the mac's

661
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:13,680
that's close to the MATC conference was like look out

662
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200
for him, like he wasn't eligible at the beginning of

663
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,119
the year. He kind of like joined the team December January,

664
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,480
like he showed flashes. But I think now having like

665
00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:25,079
a full year with the team coming out and like

666
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,880
you know, not having the scramble of like will I play,

667
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,200
will I not play? I don't even know if he

668
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,480
was on the roster last year at the beginning of

669
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:35,440
like league player or the season. So like, these guards

670
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,599
are close, they're close, like Rutgers guards, Riders guards. I

671
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:42,519
think that could be an even matchup. You're telling me

672
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,599
Rutgers bigs are good enough to push this to a

673
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:47,799
twenty point margin. I don't think so. So I took

674
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,559
Ryder plus twenty and now it's down in the eighteen

675
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,759
eighteen and a half range. I think Ryder is gonna play.

676
00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:56,480
I think it's gonna be a game. Go ahead, Rob.

677
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,759
Speaker 4: I'll just make one more generic point about this game,

678
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,599
and just saying Brian talked about the twelve threes that

679
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,039
Ryder put up the other night. And I do this

680
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:09,320
a lot in football handicapping, it's once you know, they

681
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,239
play once a week. Here we get something every couple

682
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,440
of days. Sometimes teams are playing three tess a week.

683
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:19,360
The defense that Ryder just faced, it's not Tony Bennett anymore, right,

684
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:26,360
which Ryan owed him, and that VCU pressure pressure, pressure, run, run, run, attack, attack, attack,

685
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,320
And they gave up thirty four free throw attempts the

686
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,559
other night to Virginia. This is an opposite style defense.

687
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:35,840
And to your point, Adam, it had to be killing

688
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Steve Piko last year to watch that Rutgers defense just

689
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:42,800
not even exist in most Big Ten games. I mean,

690
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,519
they were really good for about half the season. A

691
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:48,559
couple of injuries to those guys Bailey and Harper kept

692
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,360
them out a little bit, and it just went south

693
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,599
in a hurry and they never played d again. It's

694
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:53,559
a little bit different.

695
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: Now.

696
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 4: You're not going to get the pace that you got

697
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,800
out of Virginia Ryder the other night, because Virginia forced it.

698
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:03,079
That game, guys only hit one forty. Virginia scored eighty

699
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:06,920
seven and it hit one forty. So this total, the

700
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,719
Rutgers team total, et cetera, et cetera. You start adding

701
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,920
all these things up, the contrast and styles that Ryder

702
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,840
will face tonight, they'll probably be a hair more comfortable with.

703
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:21,880
But they won't be going at that track meet type pace.

704
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,280
So again, either one of those looks I think is

705
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,039
sufficient here.

706
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to really speak quickly to the lack

707
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,280
of like three point shooting, I mean I think that's like,

708
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:33,840
you know, Burton is a guy that I think is

709
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,480
more comfortable sort of going off the dribble, you know,

710
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,719
the guy that's going to probably shoot the majority of

711
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,320
the threes would be Cruised. But like again, I just

712
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,079
think that might be more the makeup of this team.

713
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,840
And there was times last year where Rider just hoisted

714
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,440
threes and was awful. So you gotta wonder if if

715
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400
Badget's just like, hey, let's not do that this year.

716
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,159
Let's not just jack up threes. I think I got

717
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,440
them in a game like that last year against Iowa,

718
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,519
and I think they were one for twenty from three

719
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:06,599
and obviously did not cover. So you know that might

720
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:09,880
be by design, like hey, let's chill on the you know,

721
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:13,880
just firing up three point shots. Good conversation though, this

722
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,280
is for a day where there's not like these big

723
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,960
time marquee games. I feel like we've gotten into, you know,

724
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,639
a couple of good discussions so far, and I'll be

725
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,840
locking one of those in. I just don't know which one.

726
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,199
I'm gonna wait till the end of the show. But

727
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,320
we are at the thirty five minute marks, so we

728
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,840
got about twenty five minutes left, and the people are

729
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,960
gonna want to start knowing what the parlay is going

730
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,760
to look like. So Brian, I'm gonna go to you

731
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,920
because I think you kind of know what your leg's

732
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,960
going to be, and I know that the folks want

733
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,920
to hear about some Indiana Hoosiers basketball. So take it

734
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,119
away Alabama A and M in Bloomington tonight. What's your thoughts?

735
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this would be from the if it ain't broke,

736
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,760
don't fix it category. My contribution to the parla age

737
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,239
the first two days has been a total. It has

738
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,920
been a total where we've punched back at the market

739
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,760
and we're gonna keep doing that same thing here Trig obviously,

740
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,280
but by the way, I'm gonna make this point again,

741
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:08,960
what was the game?

742
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 3: Was it the Florida State game?

743
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,119
Speaker 2: The last two days there have been games where the

744
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:16,960
over has taken a ton of money and it didn't

745
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,039
matter if you bet this thing. It's six thirty in

746
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:21,960
the morning or six thirty at night. It just flies

747
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,519
over that Flora here ran enough.

748
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 4: Florida State.

749
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:27,519
Speaker 1: He ran it up. That Florida State coach ran it

750
00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:28,159
up last night.

751
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, I'm just bringing that up to say

752
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,039
hey again early in the season. Sometimes these odds makers

753
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:37,000
are hanging bad totals. But in this case, what we're doing,

754
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:39,599
what we I focused on with my portional parlay day

755
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,119
is totals where the numbers move, and I disagree with

756
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:45,400
that move, and I disagree with the overtaking money in

757
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,519
this Alabama A and m Indiana game. I'm gonna go

758
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,440
under one forty six and a half. You can get

759
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,519
that number right now, has up this recording at both

760
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:58,880
DraftKings and fan Duel Trig. So I think that's a

761
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,599
fair number to give to the people, a little juiced

762
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,320
to the under now, which is interesting. So I don't

763
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,239
know if we're gonna get any higher than one forty

764
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,719
six and a half. I know we didn't get any

765
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,079
higher than the number I gave yesterday on Mount Saint

766
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:13,000
Mary's WVU, which was good. But look, guys, we talk

767
00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:17,760
about these coaching changes and what it means. You know,

768
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,840
sometimes you know it's not just the preferred temple they plan.

769
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,239
Obviously with Iowa it was the wrong read. But you know,

770
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,480
when you've got new personnel, it takes a long time

771
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:29,840
sometimes to you know, it takes a while, not necessarily

772
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,840
a long time, but it takes a while to kind

773
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,280
of fire on full cylinders. And I'm not sure Indiana's

774
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,199
offense is going to be firing on full cylinder at

775
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,079
least in this one. And then you look at the

776
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:43,360
Alabama A and M team. They've got a new coach

777
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,079
as well, coming over from Grambling Grambling Plates Slow. Rob

778
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:49,599
said it yesterday. One forty is a number that people

779
00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:51,320
look at a lot say, oh, that's not that hard

780
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,719
to get to. Well, we're looking at, you know, a

781
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,760
little over one forty now, and I think that number

782
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,199
is gonna be hard to get to.

783
00:38:57,559 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 3: So we're going to go under.

784
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm a A and M Indiana one forty six and

785
00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:06,159
a half for my leg of the parlay.

786
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: Love it. I'm gonna keep moving on because there's a

787
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,320
couple more games I want to get to. I'm gonna

788
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,960
go to my guy Ethan, who we may see this weekend.

789
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,719
I think he might come to the Bowling Green game

790
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,320
with us, So shout out Ethan. He wants to know

791
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,719
thoughts on Marquette. He's leaning the dog quick turnaround as

792
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:27,760
Indiana as that I use it. That's Marquette Indiana coming

793
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,360
up over the weekend. I think he's that sounds about right.

794
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:33,639
Not sure if they won this one up Jay Buff

795
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,920
asking about the same game from a totals perspective, I

796
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,679
don't have much of an opinion here, so I guess

797
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,280
I'll go to Rob. Maybe I'll go to Rob for

798
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,079
this one. Do you have a Marquette Southern take at

799
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,280
all for us or anything for Ethan or Buff on

800
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:47,840
this one?

801
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you my niece happens to date a

802
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,880
Marquette alum who love that near this program a little bit.

803
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,800
So during the season, I would expect that I'll get

804
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,400
better at least little tidbits on Marquette as it goes along.

805
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,159
But I did text last night just to see if

806
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:13,159
I could get a feel for things on this particular game,

807
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,199
and there's really nothing that I can point to here,

808
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,559
Guys that he said to me that would push me

809
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,000
toward Marquette towards Southern. We see a huge line move

810
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:26,239
here from twenty one to twenty five and a half.

811
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,199
A lot of times, these swack teams are just so

812
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,440
overmatched in these money games. You know, take the money

813
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,599
and run, so to speak. Shout out to Steve Miller Band.

814
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:42,280
So I don't have a really good piece of news

815
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,840
to give to the audience here today, but I guarantee

816
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,840
that during the season we'll have some pretty good Marquette stuff.

817
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,920
I kind of talked with this with this guy last

818
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,920
year a little bit and found myself to the winner

819
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,480
circle in a few instances. This just doesn't happen to

820
00:40:56,519 --> 00:40:58,880
be one of them. Although the market seems like they

821
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,119
know what's going to happen over and.

822
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: Over.

823
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: To they it's it's both the favorite and over.

824
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,679
Speaker 2: So you know, we we've given out multiple team total

825
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,320
leads here on the I don't know. And maybe if

826
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,960
you like Marquette, you go Marquette team total over because obviously,

827
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,840
if you if you're gonna cover a big like that.

828
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: Rob, what are you gonna do? You're gonna score a

829
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:18,360
lot of points.

830
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: And Rob again, another point you want to file away

831
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,199
not necessarily, maybe use it tonight because obviously the season

832
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,480
is only a few days old. But these swack teams,

833
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,440
Rob makes the point about them you know the horrible

834
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,639
non conference scheduled the Africans, or when it's all road games.

835
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,480
You know, when we get a few games deeper in.

836
00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:38,280
Remember a lot of these teams are playing their fifth,

837
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:41,599
sixth consecutive road game. That is something you always want

838
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,880
to make note with those teams because eventually that gas

839
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:44,719
tank runs on eat.

840
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: Hey, don't tell that to Bethune Cookman. Don't tell Cookman

841
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:54,480
at Auburn. In Auburn the other night, an incredible scene

842
00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:57,159
at the end of that game, following a three half

843
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,679
court shooter. To put that in over time, Stephen Pearl

844
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:04,960
announcing his arrival that that gem right there.

845
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:07,079
Speaker 2: I believe that Cookman has one of the more well

846
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,599
regarded marching bands. I'm gonna have to check that out

847
00:42:09,639 --> 00:42:12,840
here all the next game, I believe, But I believe

848
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,000
they're well regarded there.

849
00:42:14,679 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: Do you know who they're head coaches? It's Reggie Theus

850
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:26,880
It's who had Listen, Reggie Theis has had success with

851
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,360
like I feel like Rob helped me out because I

852
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,800
know where, like, wasn't he at like a New Mexico

853
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,679
State or he's He's been at some programs where he's

854
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,440
had like success and wasn't expected to have success maybe

855
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:42,239
so yeah, it's so true.

856
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 4: And the one thing that runs through Reggie theis philosophy

857
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:50,800
dates all the way back to I mean, if you're

858
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,239
old enough to go back, you remember the seventy seven

859
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,079
UNLV running rebels, and Reggie Theis has never let that

860
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,639
philosophy go everywhere he goes. It's high scoring everywhere he goes,

861
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,079
it's fast paced. All stems from when he played for Tarks.

862
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:08,559
So if you're going to take a look at one

863
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:12,079
of these teams, and again we've mentioned a bunch of

864
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:16,480
them with philosophical changes in tempo, but if you're going

865
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:20,639
to file one away for lower mid major teams like

866
00:43:20,679 --> 00:43:22,800
Bethune Cookman, that would be one of the file away.

867
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,800
Take a check on their overs. I'm gonna go back, guys,

868
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,760
did that game go over the total? The other night?

869
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,280
It had to write it was an overtime game ninety

870
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:34,760
ninety so, but I think in regulation it was over

871
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,800
as well, because I remember I think I texted you, guys,

872
00:43:38,519 --> 00:43:41,320
is Stephen Pearl actually going to lose to between Cookman?

873
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:47,320
And he almost did? So, Yeah, that that particular team

874
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,360
will be a high scoring team throughout and like we've

875
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,320
said a couple of times here, these swack teams. I think,

876
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,519
if I remember right, Johnny Jones used to play a

877
00:43:57,519 --> 00:44:00,280
really hard schedule all the time. Be like, Ohen, I'm

878
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,920
coming in because he played such a difficult schedule of

879
00:44:03,639 --> 00:44:06,519
top high major teams. So these swat teams just tend

880
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:07,440
to get buried in.

881
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: Games like this. Yeah, they have some like they have

882
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:19,639
some recognizable names on this roster, the like there's he's

883
00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:22,880
basically got a bunch of transfer some other schools, but

884
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:27,840
like there's some recognizable names on the roster for for Bethune,

885
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:30,280
And they're not really projected at the top of that league.

886
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,800
They're more like third, fourth, fifth, and most projections they

887
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,360
might they might be a team you can make some

888
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,280
coin with this year, especially once you get to like

889
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,119
conference play, because as Rob said, like they're probably gonna

890
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:43,559
take their beating a couple of different times. You know,

891
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:48,119
they play a schedule full of buy games. So once

892
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:49,760
they get to conference play, though, that might be a

893
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,960
team a team to look at.

894
00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: We'll get back to the game regulation.

895
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I just checked what Rob was said,

896
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,360
just just to clarify that it was eighty one eighty

897
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,440
one at the end of regulation the Cookman Uh uh

898
00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:08,519
it went slightly over uh in regulation. I think the

899
00:45:08,559 --> 00:45:10,880
great Sacramento King of all time is Mitch Richmond.

900
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 3: Personally.

901
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:17,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's absolutely. I think I had like a

902
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,559
King's starter jacket in like ninth grade, just because that

903
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:22,840
team was like Jason Williams or you know, look that

904
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,320
that crew with Jason Williams.

905
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,159
Speaker 3: And just to remember, I held up a party in college.

906
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: We had the sorority was coming over across the straight

907
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,159
They're like, can we get this party started?

908
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:34,679
Speaker 3: It was the Lakers Kings game.

909
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: It was the infty where everyone where Shack was sent

910
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,440
to the free throw line like eight hundred times.

911
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: It was that game. I'll never forget that game where

912
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:42,760
I was.

913
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: Maybe no team in history it has gotten screwed, maybe

914
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,119
worse than that King's team did that year. But uh

915
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,119
we digress. Uh, Brian, you want to throw a little

916
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:55,480
promo out for us, because we haven't really had we

917
00:45:55,559 --> 00:45:58,800
got a promo the site. Uh my promo is I

00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,760
just gave you two plays and the number on by

919
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,400
like two points. So if you were my client, you

put them up earlier, got Rider plus twenty and Charlton

923
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,400

three to zero yesterday on the board. We swept the

940
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:02,719
Alma Mater, Ohio.

941
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: You.

942
00:47:03,039 --> 00:47:05,519
Speaker 2: Thank you to everyone who joined me for five dollars Tuesday, Ohio.

943
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:09,719
You They're much maligned special teams was the difference. Did

944
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,519
not have that on my Bengo card or in the

945
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:14,679
handicap rop that OU would win that game via special teams,

946
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,599
but they did just cover got the best of number

947
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:20,199
there you at minus two. And just to show you

948
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,400
how busy my day was, yes, was not only was

949
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,679
I sweating out the alma mater, not only was I

950
00:47:25,679 --> 00:47:28,760
sweating out our three team parlay. But it all started

951
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,639
in the afternoon. I had to sweat out Bayern Munich

952
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:33,239
getting a red card down a man trig. We had

953
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,000
a two goal leadue and they had wanted to beat

954
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:36,719
PSG in the Champions League.

955
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,519
Speaker 3: So we went two for two on the pitch as well.

956
00:47:39,639 --> 00:47:41,239
So you can head on over to my page.

957
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't have anything officially locked in, but by the

958
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,239
time many of you are catching this on replay, that is,

959
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,400
there will likely be college basketball for sale.

960
00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: BackStar, I agree with you, he says, Hey, the Swack

961
00:47:54,039 --> 00:47:56,840
will win a game against one of the bigger universities

962
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,559
this year. Don't disrespect the conference. I agree with you.

963
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:01,239
I think this is as good as the Swack has

964
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,800
been in a while in terms of like the top

965
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,239
seven or eight teams are are much better than I

966
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,199
think has been in a while. Like it's it's definitely

967
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,079
like one of the better years for the conference. And

968
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,639
who knows, maybe Alabama and A and M will grind

969
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:18,320
that game to a halt for BP and you know,

970
00:48:18,519 --> 00:48:21,039
show something in Bloomington tonight.

971
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 4: I'd also say, real quick, Adam, I mean Bethune Cookman

972
00:48:25,039 --> 00:48:28,159
is back on the card tomorrow against Miami of Florida

973
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:33,400
in an in state game. Betune could take Auburn to overtime.

974
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:37,199
Certainly Miami of Florida could be in jeopardy here the

975
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,039
shambles of a program that they've become since Jim Laira

976
00:48:40,039 --> 00:48:44,320
Andnega left last year or checked out last year. So

977
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,159
we don't want to disrespect the swack. We're just saying

978
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:52,800
for general purposes over the years, swack teams take these

979
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,719
paychecks and get buried. It may not happen all the

980
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,400
time this season, but it's a good rule of thumb.

981
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead, BP, Yes, that helps. I'm glad you clarify that.

982
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,199
But we're not disrespectful. You know, has anyone ever respected

983
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,199
anyone according to anyone anymore in the year twenty twenty five,

984
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,159
We're not disrespected to Swack. We're simply putting out the

985
00:49:14,199 --> 00:49:17,159
fact that these teams play an ungodly amount of road

986
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:19,320
games in the non conference and you should be aware

987
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,800
of that. That's all we're saying. And also Mitch Richmond

988
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,400
definitely played. For thement of things. Guys, please just go

989
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:25,400
to Ediles.

990
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 3: That's what we're here for. Bran, Yes, go to Wikipedia

991
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,280
dot com. They will give you the answer to that.

992
00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:32,679
It's a valuable research.

993
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:35,559
Speaker 1: We we got about ten minutes left on the show,

994
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:37,639
so fire off if you If you want a couple

995
00:49:37,679 --> 00:49:40,159
of games that we haven't talked about yet, fire them

996
00:49:40,159 --> 00:49:42,119
in the chat. We'll get to, you know, at least

997
00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:46,239
one or two more. I while we're kind of figuring

998
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,079
out what the next game we're going to talk about is,

999
00:49:48,199 --> 00:49:51,159
I am going to decide which one of these I

1000
00:49:51,199 --> 00:49:54,320
want to put in the parlay. So I'm basically just

1001
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,760
gonna take whatever play I've already made that has the

1002
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:05,480
more playable number right now, and I will say, I'll say,

1003
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,599
let's see, is there what what are you guys seeing

1004
00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:13,280
for you? Is there seventeens out there for Tarleton? And

1005
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,000
is there nineteen's out there for Rider. I'm trying to

1006
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:22,440
figure out which I'm using the Yeah, it up and

1007
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:25,159
just close this out. It's logic.

1008
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,079
Speaker 4: Let's get there.

1009
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: If there's a if, the if any of those like is.

1010
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:34,039
I think there's actually quite a few seventeens on Tarleton,

1011
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:36,639
so I'm gonna use that. So so I'll go Tarleton

1012
00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:40,679
state plus seventeen for my for my parlay leg. Again,

1013
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,719
I played at eight at eighteen and a half, but

1014
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,719
but I'm seeing I do think that that might come

1015
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,480
back throughout the day, so you could potentially wait there.

1016
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,440
But I do see like three or four books have

1017
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,159
gone back to seventeen, and that's kind of where I

1018
00:50:56,199 --> 00:50:58,440
expected to settle in. So that's what I'm gonna use

1019
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,239
for my leg of the parlay, and I'll lock that

1020
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:06,559
in Charlot's eight plus seventeen. And now, since we got

1021
00:51:06,599 --> 00:51:09,000
ten minutes left, I'm just gonna give Rob the floor

1022
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,320
to throw a game out there and lock in his

1023
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:13,079
leg of the parlor.

1024
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do that first, Adam, because my choice is

1025
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,159
up too that we've already talked about the LSU game

1026
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:21,760
potentially over with Tarleton, but since you're on that game,

1027
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,760
we don't want to have to win two ends of

1028
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,599
that Bowl game. So I'll play what we talked about earlier,

1029
00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:29,320
and we've lost the hook on this one. I'm searching

1030
00:51:29,639 --> 00:51:32,360
and there are seventy nine's out there that are plentiful.

1031
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,000
So I'm gonna play the Rutgers team total under the

1032
00:51:35,039 --> 00:51:37,159
seventy nine points. We had seventy nine and a half

1033
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:41,239
when we started talking. They continue to bash this total down, down, down,

1034
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,360
and the Rutgers team total, actually, guys, began open to

1035
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,000
eighty one and a half, now down to seventy nine.

1036
00:51:48,039 --> 00:51:49,679
But I still think that's a good number to play here.

1037
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:51,960
So I'll use that as the third leg of the parlay,

1038
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:58,079
which is Rutgers team total under seventy nine points. Guys,

1039
00:51:58,119 --> 00:52:01,280
I'll look real quickly here for and I don't have

1040
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,280
a play on the game, but I'll just, you know,

1041
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,119
give a little on the Temple Delaware state game.

1042
00:52:07,199 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: Here.

1043
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 4: It's something that's close to my backyard, Temple Adam Fisher.

1044
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,800
You know, you take over these programs, guys, and you

1045
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,239
try to build a program, and he walks in, he

1046
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,119
gets sixteen wins, comes in the next year, he gets

1047
00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:23,239
seventeen wins. Things are going good, We're getting better and better.

1048
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,320
And then he loses ten players, not only his five starters,

1049
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:31,719
but his next five players, and so you got ten

1050
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,159
guys missing off of a seventeen win team, and it

1051
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,119
leaves Temple in this predicament two returning starters, a third

1052
00:52:39,159 --> 00:52:43,760
team reserve, a walk on, and eleven new players. We've

1053
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,679
talked a lot the first three days about cohesion, and

1054
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,159
this is you know, Trigg, I know we talked about

1055
00:52:49,199 --> 00:52:51,280
this a few weeks back when we were discussing the

1056
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,039
format of the show and whatnot. But just correlate it

1057
00:52:55,039 --> 00:52:57,320
to what John Caliperi used to have to do with

1058
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,679
five new incoming freshmen every single year, and it took

1059
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,199
him a while, and now you get that about eighty

1060
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,440
to ninety times over across the country coaches dealing with

1061
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,119
all new starters. It's gonna be tough for Adam Fisher

1062
00:53:10,119 --> 00:53:12,079
this year. He's got some backcourt talent, got a little

1063
00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:14,840
bit of rim protector, but there's not a lot of

1064
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,480
depth on this team. Well, let me rephrase, there's not

1065
00:53:18,519 --> 00:53:20,880
a lot of quality depth on this team. So when

1066
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,920
they go to the bench, gonna be a little difficult

1067
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,239
at least early on for Temple. Delaware State almost the

1068
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,559
same scenario guys. Stan Waterman got a contract extension, gonna

1069
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:32,920
be his fourth year at Delaware State. But he got

1070
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,960
the extension because he increased the wind total on this team.

1071
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,000
They put together back to back seasons with a win

1072
00:53:41,159 --> 00:53:44,840
total that hadn't been surpassed in thirty years. And so

1073
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,239
Delaware State becomes a team now that you think is

1074
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,239
on the rise. However, he lost all five of his starters.

1075
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,480
Three of them were all MIAC players. Tough to overcome.

1076
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,400
Go to last year. Both of these teams played high

1077
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,559
tempo seventy eight points a game they each averaged. You'd

1078
00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:03,519
expect high tempo here, but I don't know what the

1079
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:07,880
quality of offense is gonna be. All that being said,

1080
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:10,079
and I'll say it, Agaggs, I think I said the

1081
00:54:10,159 --> 00:54:14,280
other day, just because you're missing or get trying to

1082
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,360
cohesive with the new offense. I think defense suffers as

1083
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,079
well in basketball when you play open floor style, which

1084
00:54:20,119 --> 00:54:23,679
these two do, Assignments get blown all over the court, layups, dounks,

1085
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:25,920
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So tough for me

1086
00:54:26,039 --> 00:54:27,920
to play it either way. I know the market likes

1087
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,159
Delaware stayed a little bit. We'll see how this goes

1088
00:54:31,199 --> 00:54:33,760
in which one of these two coaches who actually have

1089
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,039
done a good job rebuilding are now faced with another

1090
00:54:37,159 --> 00:54:39,320
rebuild after they've already been there a few years.

1091
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to We've got about four minutes left,

1092
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,000
so I want to just quick touch on a couple

1093
00:54:48,159 --> 00:54:52,000
of the the games out west tonight. I'm gonna I'll

1094
00:54:52,119 --> 00:54:55,760
just really quick talk about South Carolina, Upstate and Fresno

1095
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:01,400
State so far. Once again last night NCA they were

1096
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,119
one of the teams we talked about that had some

1097
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,639
of the you know, shenanigans going on last year with

1098
00:55:07,039 --> 00:55:09,559
guys getting kicked off the team they covered. I think

1099
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:12,840
those teams are like three and oh now, and Fresno

1100
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,199
State was one of the ones last last year that

1101
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,199
had guys kicked off and actually banned from ever playing

1102
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,440
college basketball again. I believe three players were found guilty

1103
00:55:21,599 --> 00:55:25,400
of like fixing, game fixing or whatever on that team.

1104
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,119
So I, you know, my number is right in line

1105
00:55:29,159 --> 00:55:31,400
with where the market is at nine and at nine

1106
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:34,639
nine and a half. But I don't think sc Upstate's

1107
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:35,920
going to be very good this year. I have them

1108
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,800
finishing near the bottom of their league. They got to

1109
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,079
go all the way out to Fresno. So that was

1110
00:55:40,159 --> 00:55:43,400
one where you might be able to talk me into

1111
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,719
a nine and a half on Fresno State. I think

1112
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,159
that's the You're on the right side of the number there.

1113
00:55:48,199 --> 00:55:49,719
I don't think I would want ten and a half

1114
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,599
or eleven, but I think if you got me single digits,

1115
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,519
I might be willing to lay with Fresno State. Rob,

1116
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:58,000
did you want to throw some some what you have

1117
00:55:58,159 --> 00:56:00,239
quick out on that Eastern Washington. Yeah?

1118
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say really quick here, guys, we'll just call

1119
00:56:03,119 --> 00:56:06,039
this quick notes. Because I watched the EWU against UCLA

1120
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:08,679
the other night. They looked really good eighty to seventy four.

1121
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,440
Ucla got the win, but Eastern Washington was gritty. They

1122
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,000
were in that game the whole way. Looked at the

1123
00:56:13,039 --> 00:56:16,559
board tonight, see them catching seven off the opener, and

1124
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:20,599
now it's up to nine. And in this instance, Adam,

1125
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,440
I'll just defer to you because I.

1126
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: Don't have the info.

1127
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,159
Speaker 4: The only reason I can see for a two point

1128
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,400
increase in this line is when I checked out Loyola

1129
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,039
Marrimount's box from the other night. Tanner Thomas, the kid

1130
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:34,119
from Sacred Heart, didn't play in that game, and now,

1131
00:56:34,159 --> 00:56:38,119
when I see Loyola moving two points up against a

1132
00:56:38,159 --> 00:56:40,840
team that played UCLA two within six, I asked myself,

1133
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,480
why is that? And maybe Tanner Thomas is gonna play tonight.

1134
00:56:43,519 --> 00:56:45,119
I'll have to look into it a little further, but

1135
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:48,880
that's the only reason I can see betting LMU who

1136
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,960
had a one thirty seven to fifty four win over

1137
00:56:51,079 --> 00:56:54,280
Lincoln University of California, because we have one of those

1138
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:55,079
in Pennsylvania.

1139
00:56:55,159 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 3: Two.

1140
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: I chuckle because Tanner Thomas coming from the MAC conference

1141
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,320
at Sacred Art was like a notorious game time decision guy,

1142
00:57:02,679 --> 00:57:05,039
Like there'd be times where he was in, there would

1143
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:06,559
be times where he was out, So it would not

1144
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:09,360
surprise me if he's randomly back tonight and he is

1145
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:10,599
a very good player.

1146
00:57:10,639 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 2: He was.

1147
00:57:11,119 --> 00:57:13,079
Speaker 1: He was the best player on that Sacred Heart team.

1148
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,039
I think he will be a nice contributor to Leola

1149
00:57:16,119 --> 00:57:17,840
Marymount Brian, did you want to just jump in here

1150
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,360
before we call it a day.

1151
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 3: No, Joe, Well, yeah I will.

Speaker 1: We thank you all for.

1156
00:57:31,079 --> 00:57:33,639
Speaker 2: Watching the program here over the last hour. Remember we

1157
00:57:33,719 --> 00:57:35,760
are live Monday through Friday ten a m.

1158
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: Eastern.

1159
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 2: That is Monday through Friday, and Trigger and I will

1160
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,920
be traveling around the Midwest this weekend off an area

1161
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:49,760
I believe Toledo up to East landsting back down through

1162
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,239
the Toledo area through Bowling Green. So three games in

1163
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,400
about twenty four hours. If anyone's in the area, come

1164
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,880
feel free to say hi. You know we look like

1165
00:57:57,119 --> 00:58:00,199
obviously and we're just gonna keep on keeping on. You

1166
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,159
want to review, you want to review the parlay of

1167
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,199
the day one more time, because that is certainly I

1168
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,559
know what more tuning in for us.

1169
00:58:06,599 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: We look to make it three for three to start

1170
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:08,840
the season.

1171
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,239
Speaker 1: It's what the people are coming for. At this point,

1172
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,519
we've we've won them both, so so on the year,

1173
00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:16,960
a great start. I guess if you would call it

1174
00:58:17,039 --> 00:58:20,000
our best bets for the show, that's you know, they're

1175
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,320
six and zero. We've hit the three teamer twice now,

1176
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,800
and so we're gonna try to do the unprecedented and

1177
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,800
hit three straight three teamers. I don't think, I don't

1178
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,119
think TV Ryan Leonard and myself hit three straight three

1179
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:35,599
teamers at any point during the baseball season, so we

1180
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:39,840
can potentially make that happen today. It's another just everything

1181
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,679
was minus one ten when I look, so we'll call

1182
00:58:41,719 --> 00:58:45,360
it six to one. Obviously, shop around. Brian is going

1183
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,679
with the under in Alabama A and m Indiana. That's

1184
00:58:48,719 --> 00:58:51,719
a full game under. We have a full game team

1185
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,559
total under for Rob Vino on the Rutgers team total

1186
00:58:55,679 --> 00:58:58,199
under seventy nine. That would be the Rutgers Rider game.

1187
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:01,320
And then I will go with Tarlton State plus seventeen.

1188
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,880
So that's your three team where you've got Tarlton State

1189
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:08,199
plus seventeen, Rutgers team total under seventy nine, and then

1190
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,559
Alabama A and m Indiana under one forty six and

1191
00:59:11,559 --> 00:59:15,639
a half. Can we get it done? Can we do?

1192
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,800
You know what? If we hit three of these, I

1193
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,440
need like I need the Wager Talk producers to put

1194
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,320
together like a like a montage. I want the fire,

1195
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,039
like the Who's Hot thing. I want the whole treatment

1196
00:59:29,039 --> 00:59:30,320
if we hit three of these in a row.

1197
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,599
Speaker 2: But one last point for me, I will apologize. We

1198
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,519
do try to leave no stone unturned, but I do apologize.

1199
00:59:37,519 --> 00:59:39,880
We didn't give up that cal State Northridge women's first

1200
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,519
half spread last night. That would have been a nice winner.

1201
00:59:42,519 --> 00:59:44,400
I don't know if you saw that, but that's the

1202
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:47,400
good SAG in the first half.

1203
00:59:47,599 --> 00:59:53,039
Speaker 1: Was yeah, all right, we're out. It's ten fifty nine.

1204
00:59:53,039 --> 00:59:54,920
I told him i'd be off before eleven, so we're

1205
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,639
gonna leave you guys. We'll see you in the morning

1206
00:59:56,719 --> 00:59:58,800
ten am tomorrow. For more full court Press
