1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,879
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is Wednesday.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: It's time for full Court Press, the best hour of

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,599
the day right here on the wager Talk YouTube channel

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:14,000
and live. I think we're back live on Twitter now,

5
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:16,359
at least mine and at least the wager Talk one.

6
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:19,199
So thank you for bearing with us yesterday as we

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,000
got through with technical difficulties. But we are back, we

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,480
are on time, and let's just get right into it.

9
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:26,160
I'm gonna go to Brian Power because we got a

10
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:27,160
lot to talk about today.

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: This is a.

12
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: More extensive slate than I initially thought.

13
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: Was at my desk at six am this morning and

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,000
felt like I should have probably been there at five.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,840
So big double header in the top twenty five tonight.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,399
I'm gonna go to you, Arizona, Yukon. I believe this

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,240
is a gamble pavilion in stores Connecticut. How are you

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,960
seeing this one?

19
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

20
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: First your road game for Arizona. Not only by the way,

21
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:56,159
we should hope this A good friend of the show,

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,719
Clint passed us info along to me or remind me

23
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:01,399
about because I was aware of it, but it's not

24
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:06,280
something I was thinking of. They don't observe daylight savings

25
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,120
time out in Arizona guy, So this is actually only

26
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,200
a two time zone trip for the Wildcats. They're in

27
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,840
the Mountain time zone during the winter, So file that

28
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:20,079
away in your memory bank regardless of time zone, though, guys,

29
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,519
Arizona interesting to me, they're taking a very low volume

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,040
of three point attempts this year. Just twenty seven point

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,000
two percent of their total field goal attempts come from

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120
behind the arc. That's bottom ten in the country. So,

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,359
you know, three point variants is obviously a very real

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,439
thing in college basketball. We talk about it all the time.

35
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,799
They're a team where I guess there's just because they

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,439
not attempting a lot, there's probably going to be less

37
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:46,079
variants for the Wildcats.

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:46,519
Speaker 1: Now.

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,719
Speaker 3: The other concern on the Arizona side, freshman call Pete

40
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,959
heavily hyped. He's seen his scoring decrease every game. He

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,480
had thirty in the opener against Florida, if you remember,

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,640
down to only seven against UCLA the other night. Nevertheless,

43
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,359
Wildcats four to zero. They've got two wins against ranked

44
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,840
opponents Florida and UCLA. Not to be outdone, however, as

45
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,000
you guys are well aware, Yukon just helm off an

46
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,039
excellent BYU team for a two point win up in Boston.

47
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,680
Husky shot fifty seven percent basically fifty six point six

48
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:17,719
to be exact.

49
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: Overall from the floor.

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: They had an eleven point lead at halftime. I will

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,879
say though, treg Dan Hurley maybe a bit of a

52
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,919
cause for concern in that his team shot so well

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,080
and only one by two. You know, you shoot fifty

54
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,599
six percent from the floor, you'd expect to win by

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,319
more than two. Also, defensively, Yukon allowing the highest assist

56
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:44,800
percentage in the entire country right now, I'm pretty close

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,599
to market here in terms of the point spread made

58
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,680
the game minus five, which was right in line with

59
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,680
where the line opened early money on the favorite. I

60
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,919
think if you forced me to, and I hope you don't,

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,240
but if you forced me to, I would look Yukon

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240
first half. My concern with Arizona they're young. Like I said,

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
the outset, first true road game, I think it could

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,919
be a slow start for them in this kind of environment.

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,360
We saw Yukon obviously get out to the big first

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,520
half lead against BYU Alex Caravan, shooting the ball extremely

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,759
well so far sixty two percent from the field. I

68
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,680
think Yukon probably gets up by a few possessions going

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,120
into the break.

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,319
Speaker 1: Let's get you in here, Rob, Sure you got me?

71
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:40,479
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, okay, you can hear okay, I was sure

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000
if you could hear me real quick. I'm gonna go

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,199
back to what Brian was talking about that game previous

74
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:49,759
against BYU. Listen, that's a coaching moment for Danny Hurley.

75
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,919
Yukon had that game wire to wire and for whatever reason,

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
and teams do this, got out of their comfort zone,

77
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,000
tried to let off the gas, walk it up, slow

78
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:03,639
it down, milk the and aj Debounster went crazy at

79
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:06,199
the end of that game. And BYU, which is a really,

80
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:09,680
really good team, if they'd have had thirty five more seconds,

81
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:13,080
they might have got there because Yukon was not handling

82
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,519
it well once they got close. But I would say

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,959
for thirty two thirty three minutes of that game, it

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,319
was not a contest. And again BYU's a really good

85
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800
basketball team. Puts a lot of faith in what Connecticut

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,040
has for a starting five and a full rotation here.

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,680
And believe me, Dan Hurley's not a guy who's going

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,439
to miss a coaching point. So I wouldn't expect if

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Yukon's ahead here and he led up. Whatsoever concern Brian

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120
touched down It a little bit first true road. But

91
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,360
you're bringing a four pack of freshmen on the road.

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,360
CoA Pete. You mentioned his numbers, Brian, he's still a freshman.

93
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:52,279
He's ups and downs are going to happen with these

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,199
guys in their rotation of eight. You got four guys

95
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560
that are inside the top eight and minutes played for

96
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:04,160
Arizona that are freshmen. Right now. The backcourt is steady,

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,800
it's veteran. We know that Delorso and Bradley are solid players,

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,720
but I do wonder about you know, Gamble is a very,

99
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,839
very cramped arena. It's a campus arena and they pack

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,199
them in there. Adam, you've probably been there, and I

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,600
can just speak for myself. When they play in the

102
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,759
Hartford Civic Center, there's a lot more people who eat

103
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,079
their dinner at four thirty at night in the crowd,

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,319
and when you play at Gamble, it is way more rowdy.

105
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:38,680
Your coast to coast trip two time zon z or three.

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,800
I just wonder how these freshmen are going to handle

107
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,879
the environment. If you kind of goes on a ten

108
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,879
to oh run or something in this game. Hey, Arizona,

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,160
if you want to just go to the schedule, they're

110
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,680
well prepped. You played Florida on a neutral or in

111
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,279
Las Vegas. I don't think it was so neutral because

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,759
Arizona has the fan base there. And then you play

113
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:03,639
UCLA in Englewood, two totally different styles. Florida brings a

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,079
huge front court to the game, one of the nation's best.

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,079
UCLA brings a lot of perimeter shooting and solid deepense,

116
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,560
So you know, stylistically they're prepped. I just think the

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,519
venue is a difficult ask for these four freshmen. I

118
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,800
think Yukon is veteran as they are. Terris Reid has

119
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,399
become a terror under the whop Alex caravan. It's talking

120
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:29,639
about taking advantage of a COVID year. I think he's

121
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,879
sixth or seventh year at Yukon. They have a bunch

122
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,000
of ball handlers. And one last thing to say is

123
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,480
that and Danny Hurley recognized this. I saw it watching

124
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:42,399
the game the other night. Silas Demer was the guy

125
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,240
in the clutch that they were going to for these

126
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,600
key buckets. So you just add another guy to the

127
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,959
list with solo ball et cetera. I think Yukon's probably

128
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,160
the right side. I think the money is correct. I

129
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,519
think Yukon probably wins this game of covers.

130
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll talk about Gamble for a second.

131
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: My cousin went to Yukon, lived in the parking lot

132
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:02,560
that was like right on the other side of Gamble,

133
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,879
and like, it's it's such a better atmosphere with the kids,

134
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,079
with the kids there, Like it's not to say that

135
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,360
students won't go to Excel Center for the games, but

136
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:12,720
it's it is. First of all, Excel Center is a

137
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:15,199
pain in the ass to get to from Yukon. That

138
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,759
is mostly for alumni. So many Yukon alumni like stay

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,199
in the Hartford area, So when you're down at downtown Excel,

140
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,879
it's it's gonna be like vast majority is going to

141
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:28,519
be like alumni there and then you still have your

142
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,120
student section. But Gamble is just a more rowdy atmosphere.

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,959
You're right rob tight quarters, it's going to be packed.

144
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040
I always bump Yukon up a point or two for

145
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,560
home court at Gamble more than when they play at

146
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,040
Excel Center. So I think I think that'll be a

147
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,560
fantastic atmosphere. Tonight as far as like you mentioned, Dan

148
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,759
Hurley and I talked about this last year too, and

149
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,759
I feel like it's it's worth bringing up again because

150
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,839
even though Yukon still made it to the Sweet sixth

151
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:00,879
tier the round of thirty two last year and Florida great,

152
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,920
they really had them on the ropes and could have

153
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:05,519
won that game. I think people look at Yukon last

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,199
year as they underachieved, which is kind of crazy when

155
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480
you consider what Yukon has done the past couple of years.

156
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:14,759
Dan Hurley's the best coach in college basketball. Dan Hurley

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,199
has the best staff in college basketball. All of those

158
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040
you know how you see like Florida's assistant, the one

159
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,839
assistant goes to Columbia, I think another assistant took a

160
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:23,439
different job.

161
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: Like Hurley's assistants really don't leave like that.

162
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: All of those assistants could have jobs where pretty much

163
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200
wherever they wanted in like mid to small major. And

164
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,480
he's been able to, like for the most part, retain

165
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,879
his coaching staff. So not only do you have Hurley,

166
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,600
you have this elite staff, and to me, that's worth

167
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,320
points on the number. And now you're talking about a

168
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:49,639
Yukon team that's I don't want to say they're like undervalued.

169
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,240
That's not probably not the right way to say it,

170
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,720
but like it's not like last year where they came

171
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:55,720
in and they were like number one and like there

172
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:58,000
was no value in Yukon at all, or like the

173
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,639
year before where they were coming off of another national championship.

174
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:04,240
So it's like the numbers right, but I would not

175
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:06,399
want to bet against Yukon in this spot. I'd have

176
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,080
to find a way to play Yukon. I also think

177
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,080
that the way they run offense is going to confuse

178
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Arizona a lot of screens. Arizona's got a lot of

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,639
you know, I don't know if they're equipped defensively necessarily

180
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,000
to stop that. And then on the road where it

181
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,360
can snowball the crowds into it. Suddenly it's that eight

182
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,919
to nine point home you know run where you get

183
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,720
at home and suddenly you're down ten.

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,919
Speaker 1: That's why I don't want Arizona in this spot.

185
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,759
Speaker 3: Brian, go ahead, Well, I would say, what do you

186
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,759
think about the first half angle then, because when I

187
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:37,840
was breaking this down, you know with the number, you

188
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,559
know it's now north of two possessions for the full game,

189
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,919
obviously three and a half is north of one, but

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
I just you know, you look at how Yukon started

191
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,320
last game. You look, I think we're all The consensus

192
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600
here among the panel is that Arizona walking into Gamble

193
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:55,799
is going to maybe it's gonna take them a little

194
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:58,039
bit to find their legs. It's a tough environment to play,

195
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:00,840
and that that lends itself to us slow start from

196
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,559
the visiting team.

197
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: Brian, do you remember when and Rob I'm sure remembers

198
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360
this as well. Remember like twenty years ago when Duke

199
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:12,559
was just a just so good and there was always

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,360
that like when you played at Cameron Indoor, the last

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,679
couple of minutes of the half, it always seemed like

202
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:19,879
they just knock.

203
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Out at the end of the first half.

204
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: They had that knockout punch every time the handful of

205
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,879
times I've been to Gamble the last few years, Yukon's

206
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,679
hit that knockout punch right at the end of the

207
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,559
first half where it was like, I swear to I

208
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,600
think I've been like the three games at Gamble over

209
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:37,840
the past like five years or so, and it was

210
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,320
just like that last four minutes is real tough for

211
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,399
opposing teams. And I'm pretty sure I went to Big

212
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,200
East games who probably are used to it a little bit.

213
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: When was the last time Arizona came to Gamble Pavilion?

214
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:50,840
If ever?

215
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: Right, like, when was the last time they played at Gamble?

216
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,440
When was the last time they played Yukon on the road?

217
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,480
So like, yeah, I think you might be onto something

218
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,799
with the first half, Rob, I'm gonna come to you

219
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:04,879
for part two, little double feature tonight, because we have

220
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:09,519
another massive game in college basketball that deserves the you know,

221
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,759
the feature attention.

222
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna head out not to Champagne.

223
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,039
Speaker 2: I believe this is at the United Center or whatever

224
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,240
if they still call it that in Chicago or the

225
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,639
Bulls play so kind of a home game for Illinois,

226
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:24,840
do you still give them the home court bump when

227
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,759
they play in Chicago?

228
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 4: Rob, I think you should, but maybe not as much

229
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,360
as I'm trying to think of a good example of

230
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:37,080
a team who might get into a bigger arena from

231
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,320
their campus at them. But since I cam'p right off

232
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:41,600
the top of my head, I mean, we did just

233
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:46,120
talk about stores to Hartford, where the bump is less.

234
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,320
Certainly it probably be a little less here Alabama, in

235
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:52,840
all likelihood they might travel a little bit here. I

236
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:55,759
didn't get exact numbers on Alabama ticket sales to get

237
00:11:55,799 --> 00:12:01,279
to the United Arena or United Center, but we could

238
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,720
see some Crimson in the crowd game fundamentally, guys. You know,

239
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:10,240
for Illinois, let's just right off the bat, they still

240
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,360
have the injuries, right, they believed with them for most

241
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:18,279
of the season. Thomas Ivasich still out, big Z, his

242
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:21,159
brother's still in, and of course they played without their

243
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:25,080
point guard Petrovitch all season long. For Illinois. Let me

244
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,919
start with this because I remember saying it to Brian

245
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,519
last time we had Alabama. Perhaps you and Natos should

246
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:36,840
have a conversation and we discussed how Natos, in his quotes,

247
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,799
thought that his team was grossly underrated, and then they

248
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,879
went out and got beat by Perdue eighty seven to eighty.

249
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,639
Here's today's Natos, guys, because I want to have quote

250
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,200
session here from Natos. This might become a thing on

251
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,559
this show. Quote session from Natos. After the Purdue game,

252
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,960
he said, that's embarrassing in life. In sports, the team

253
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,720
that plays harder, the people that work harder in whatever

254
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:01,159
field you're in, should win, and they want, they deserve

255
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,279
to win, We're gonna have to fix some stuff. He

256
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,519
went on, We've got issues on the glass. We knew

257
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,679
it in our exhibition games. We knew it in our

258
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,960
intra squad scrimmages. We knew it up at Saint John's.

259
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,799
But we did a pretty good job. We got rebounded

260
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,559
them by like one. Until we figure out how to

261
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,159
make tougher plays, rebound the basketball at a much higher level,

262
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,799
we're gonna have a hard time beating the best teams

263
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,159
in the country. Natoates, far cry from were grossly underrated.

264
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:30,600
He sees a distinct problem with his team. But I

265
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,519
don't know that they're gonna have as big of an

266
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,639
issue in this game on the boards as they had

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,120
against Purdue, because remember that Kaufman Wren came back in

268
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,919
that game, Oscar Kluff. Those two guys together, they just

269
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,240
seem like vacuum cleaners on the boards. I don't know

270
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:50,159
that Illinois has that on the boards against Alabama, So

271
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,360
I'm gonna let that go a little bit. What I

272
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:57,919
will say is, you know, in Alabama's two games against

273
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:00,919
really good teams, NATO's has proven right in his quotes.

274
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,200
I mean, they win by seven at Saint John's offensive

275
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,679
rebounding their plus six. Let's just go to offensive glass

276
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,720
where you get second chances. Right, They're plus six against

277
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,399
Saint John's, their minus twelve against Perdue and they lose

278
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:15,519
by seven. So he's got a point. Illinois was out

279
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,960
rebounded by Texas Tech in that game. Texas Tech is

280
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,360
not the largest team in the world. I mean, they're

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,679
smallish as far as height is considered. So Alabama stands

282
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:29,600
a chance here. And I'll say this, Illinois beat Texas Tech.

283
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,279
But how about a twenty three to four free throw

284
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,679
advantage plus nineteen Texas Tech only shoots four free throws

285
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,799
in that game. You're kidding me, Alabama. They haven't shot

286
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,919
the most amount of free throws in the country, but

287
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,360
as guard penetrators and as a team that's attacking the

288
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200
rim all the time, they're likely to shoot more free

289
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,360
throws than that. Here. On top of that free throw disadvantage,

290
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,000
Texas Tech only shot twenty seven percent from three. They're

291
00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:01,159
not a team that thrives on three point like Alabama is.

292
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,279
So this is a different animal, I guess, is my point.

293
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,399
Alabama probably doesn't have the same glass disadvantage as they

294
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,720
had against Purdue. Alabama shoots the three much more than

295
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,559
Texas Tech. I think that sixteen makes against Purdue. Nothing

296
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,720
wrong with that, And Alabama certainly is a quicker transition team.

297
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,000
That's probably you know, Illinois likes to run. You want

298
00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:24,840
to get out and run with Illinois, and you're better

299
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:27,320
than them. I could see Alabama winning this game, guys,

300
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,200
United Center or not. They did it against Saint John's,

301
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:36,039
a team that's more toward their tempo. I just feel

302
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:38,320
like they might be a little better than Illinois at

303
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,639
what Illinois does best. If they lose the rebounding hugely

304
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:45,600
in this game, like they did against Purdue, I'll probably

305
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,240
lose the bet, but I don't think that's gonna happen

306
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:51,120
because again, Kaufman, Ren and Kloff are different than what

307
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Illinois has for rebounding here. So I like Alabama in

308
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,759
this spot plus the points, and maybe their team totally

309
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:58,759
even gets over. You see the move on this total right,

310
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,519
it's like one eighty three right now on a point.

311
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:05,679
Alabama's team totals in the eighty eight and a half range,

312
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,879
I think, And again it will be played in high

313
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,720
octane style.

314
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny that Rob pulled those nateotes quotes. When

315
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,320
I was putting them down in my notes for this game,

316
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,720
I was like, I wonder if Rob's gonna get these

317
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,120
two because they were pretty telling. But look, we know, obviously,

318
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:24,120
and Rob just alluded to it a moment ago. We

319
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,200
all understand what a nat oats coach team is going

320
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,240
to look like. They led the country. Alabama did an

321
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,159
adjusted tempo in last season, their fourth so far this season.

322
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,039
In that department, they hung one hundred and three on

323
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Saint John, so they certainly could score. But the issue,

324
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,159
as Rob alluded to, at least in the early going,

325
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,639
has by their own admission Alabamazon admission, has been rebounding.

326
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,759
They were out rebounding fifty two to twenty eight in

327
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:50,559
that seven point loss last Thursday to Purdue.

328
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,879
Speaker 1: And where I it's interesting that.

329
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:56,919
Speaker 3: Rob was able to isolate the Texas Tech game Illinois's

330
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,240
rebounding there, I guess, because what's interesting is the fighting

331
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440
a line. I come into this game with the second

332
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,200
best rebounding differential in the country right now, and I

333
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,960
marked that down as a red flag. But I guess

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,799
that you know, when Rob points isolates the Texas Tech game,

335
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,319
what that boils down to is Illinois was able to

336
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:23,480
out rebound its lesser opponents, So you know, I guess

337
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:27,759
that that's where that rebounding differential comes from. Now, the

338
00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:30,039
aligne I have their own issues. They don't force turnovers

339
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,119
to the defensive end. They're actually bottom six in the

340
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240
country in that department. That's concerning. So if Alabama is

341
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,720
able to continually get shots up guys with the number

342
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,240
of possessions they typically have, might be a long night

343
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,519
defensively for Illinois. Trig at the outset you mentioned the

344
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:45,480
gaming cliff. The United Center not a true home game

345
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,000
for Illinois. On a neutral I would make this spread

346
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,960
Illinois minus three point three. We should probably give him

347
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,960
some bump for home court, but not a full three points. Obviously,

348
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,960
the total is going to be what catches a lot

349
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,640
of people's eye. Rob mentioned it. We're already up to

350
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,160
one eighty two and a half from an opener of

351
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720
one seventy eight. I don't like the idea of betting

352
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:06,920
a number that's already moved a couple points off the opener,

353
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,160
but the over is the only way I would look.

354
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,799
I would not bet under in this game under any circumstance.

355
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:14,799
That would be a miserable two plus hour viewing experience,

356
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,039
first of all, and obviously with the way these teams play,

357
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,240
I just don't think it's a fundamentally sound bet. I

358
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,160
could only look over in terms of the total here.

359
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the one the only argument I think

360
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:30,240
you can make for the under is it I guess

361
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:34,480
would correlate with with Illinois having some success, because Illinois

362
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:36,920
really needs to try to slow this game down if

363
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,400
they can. It's you can pretty much set your watch

364
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,839
to and at this point, like a Nate Oates game

365
00:18:43,079 --> 00:18:46,400
is going to be to the rim jack up a three.

366
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,319
They want to play as fast as humanly possible. So

367
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,680
now I'm not saying Illinois is gonna do that. I'm

368
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,279
just saying, like that, that's kind of what Purdue did,

369
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,720
and that's probably like it makes sense for Illinois to

370
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,519
want to, like, you know, take the air out of

371
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:00,920
the ball a little bit if they can.

372
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:02,279
Speaker 1: That's a whole nother thing.

373
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: Like there's there's wanting to do that, and then there's

374
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,559
being able to do that against Alabama as we know

375
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,039
that the latter, like most teams would love to do

376
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:13,920
that and they just can't because Alabama is so insanely

377
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,599
athletic and really typically is able to play their game

378
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,880
against just about anyone.

379
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Now.

380
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: Uh, the ivisive if a sick brothers is is very

381
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,359
important here in my opinion. Tony if God, I'm struggling here,

382
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,200
I'm just gonna go first names and I'm gonna shorten.

383
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,279
I'm gonna call him Tony Thomas Love has not played

384
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:36,680
since the Jackson State game. That being said, how impressive

385
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,559
was Illinois against a Texas Tech team that I think

386
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,440
is very very good and they didn't have him in

387
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440
that game, and and they were the I remember getting

388
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,359
to a conversation with Brian about his number on Illinois,

389
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,279
thinking it was a little high in that game, and

390
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,599
Illinois was clearly the better side if I if I

391
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,079
remember Texas Tech kind of like snuck into maybe backdoor

392
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,039
some numbers in that game, but Illinois kind of controlled that.

393
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Like that was like so impressive to me. And now

394
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,119
you might get him back. Uh.

395
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: The other brother who has been the one that's been

396
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240
in the starting lineup, I guess got banged up against Colgate.

397
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,359
Not sure what the status is, but like those two

398
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,960
are kind of important here because that's your that's your

399
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,799
rim defense.

400
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,559
Speaker 1: If you're Illinois. I'd love to.

401
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: I wish I was like more confident in Alabama because

402
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,960
I do think there's some value at like four and

403
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,119
a half, which is what I'm seeing someplaces now. But

404
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,640
I'm just not That's just I'm just I don't really

405
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,839
want to go against this Illinois team. So the slightest

406
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,039
of leans toward Bama at four and a half. But

407
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,079
I've already played so much other stuff for today, I

408
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,400
don't think i'll be on this game.

409
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,759
Speaker 4: One thing, Adam, I'll throw in real quick, just fundamentally

410
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:49,519
in that game. You know, Big Z the center Ivasich

411
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,039
for Illinois, likes to float from the rim. He's a

412
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,359
three point shooter too. Yeah, and that just opens the

413
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,119
door for Bama to clear glass when you're seven to one,

414
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,799
is standing outside the York. So I don't know that

415
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:05,839
they'll have the rebounding concerns that they've had prior, especially

416
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:08,960
against Purdue. That just kind of hammers that point home.

417
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: All Right, we gotta get Garth in here.

418
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:16,799
Speaker 2: First of all, you guys can all thank Garth for

419
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,559
the donation here, because I was not going to talk

420
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,400
about this game since it's one of my client plays.

421
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,519
There's gonna chip, but I've got quite a few today,

422
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,519
so I'll give one out here. But first thing I want.

423
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:30,640
He says, got hooked with my Army Team total last night. Yeah,

424
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,440
that was a tough beat on his Army Team total.

425
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,960
We kind of talked about that game. I don't think

426
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,319
anyone really gave anything out definitive in that game, but

427
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,880
I watched some of it, and my one takeaway there

428
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,440
Garth is like, that's the second time this year that

429
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:48,039
I felt like Army was like way out classed and

430
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,319
rob actually kind of nailed it. They like accidentally got

431
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:53,519
there at the end where it was like they were

432
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:55,799
clearly out of the game and they just kind of

433
00:21:55,839 --> 00:21:59,039
like you know, got there in garbage time to the over.

434
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: There's two games now.

435
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: The other one was when Brian Power and I were

436
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,160
at the Michigan State game and I was complaining to

437
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:08,200
him that I didn't get Saint Thomas in and then

438
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,640
Army somehow hung around with them as well in the

439
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,240
game that they really never had a chance in. So

440
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:16,519
it's like the reason I'm bringing this up is Army

441
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,279
is even I think even worse than now there. Their

442
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:23,279
current numbers are showing because they've now hung around and

443
00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:27,000
covered against Cornell and against Saint Thomas in games that

444
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:29,039
I never really felt like they had any sort of chance.

445
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,519
So I would just little bonus here, not gonna help

446
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:34,960
you today, but I'd have a big circle around playing

447
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,279
against Army, not only next time out, but like when

448
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,519
they play someone worse that's like more in their weight class.

449
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:43,519
You know it might, you know, not maybe as a

450
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:45,839
fifteen point dog, but soon they're going to have a

451
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,119
game that comes up and they're going to be like

452
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,400
a like a three point underdog to or a favorite

453
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:53,119
against another bad team. I think you fade Army in

454
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,960
that spot as far as your Playgarth, I'm with you.

455
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,079
He's his thoughts on Wyoming Sam Houston game. I'm leaning

456
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,039
Wyoming money line. Well, I gave this out this morning

457
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:06,440
to clients. I took Wyoming plus two and a half.

458
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,839
I think it's probably still there. This is a three

459
00:23:09,839 --> 00:23:13,839
percent play for me and the reason so a couple things,

460
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,640
like a couple of reasons I like this game. One,

461
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:19,440
it's as much of a fate of Sam Houston State

462
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,079
for me as it is a play on a play

463
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,799
on Wyoming.

464
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:23,759
Speaker 1: Two.

465
00:23:24,039 --> 00:23:26,519
Speaker 2: I just felt like they were getting like Sam Houston

466
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:29,759
was getting too much credit for being home. Sometimes Wyoming

467
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,880
gets like you'll see books attach points to them for

468
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,279
going on the road because when you get into the season,

469
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,279
their home road splits. I know Brian's nodding because he

470
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:42,880
hammers away at this, mister Mountain West always on the

471
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,799
home road splits like and I'll let you kind of

472
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,240
jump in in a second, like going to Laramie and

473
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,279
then them on the road is a whole different ballgame.

474
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:52,960
But like when you have to travel in the Mountain West,

475
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,720
it's a lot different then early season going down to

476
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:59,519
play Sam Houston State in Texas. So I felt like

477
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,079
there was two much given for home here for Sam Houston.

478
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:04,319
And I just don't think Sam Houston is going to

479
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,759
be able to stop Wyoming's offense in this game. And

480
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,079
I just don't trust Sam Houston to put enough points

481
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,680
on the board to stick with Wyoming. So that was

482
00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:14,559
kind of my handicap here. I took the two and

483
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,400
a half weigh in on the home road stuff there.

484
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: Brian.

485
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 3: My take is just is really simple and gonna be

486
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480
very brief. I just disagree with this line move the

487
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:27,000
way it's going. I made this game a pick I wouldn't.

488
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,160
It's something that I would not have played initially. This

489
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,759
is not a game. But if this gets and you

490
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,119
talked about where it's at right now, most places have

491
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,640
it a two FanDuel two and a half. If I

492
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:43,720
were able to get eight three on Wyoming, I would

493
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,319
absolutely join you. I think trig on this one. I

494
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,880
just I think this line as I look at the

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,920
on screen, this one's moving in the wrong direction.

496
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:50,839
Speaker 1: I get it.

497
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:55,799
Speaker 3: Wyoming historically has been a great obviously football, basketball, I

498
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:57,599
don't know what it is in the other sports. They

499
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,880
always have a tremendous edge at elevation and army, and

500
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,759
then they kind of stink when they travel. But this

501
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,720
is a situation where I don't know. Maybe people are

502
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:09,359
just banking on Wyoming's history of struggling on the road

503
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,839
and that's why the line's moving the way it is.

504
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:12,880
I just don't agree with the way this line is

505
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,039
moving at all. Again, I made the game of pick.

506
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,839
Speaker 4: Them, and I think, real quick, guys, I'll just add

507
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,200
my two cents. From a total's perspective, I find it

508
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,640
hard to think that Wyoming won't get to eighty adam

509
00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:29,279
their team total here is let me look for an update,

510
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,000
but I think it was seventy nine and a half

511
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:34,039
when I looked earlier today, maybe seventy eight and a half.

512
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:39,599
Can't remember which, but nice time to tribute to name

513
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,720
Sundance Wicks, who came in here last year and he's

514
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:47,160
completely reshaped the style of this team from a miserably slow,

515
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:51,559
molasses style tempo that you expect from Wyoming football and

516
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:56,559
Wyoming basketball go back into the wayback machine ever since

517
00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,240
Fennis Dembo played at Wyoming, and they real quicker, really

518
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:02,160
good team. This team gets up and down the floor

519
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,599
a little bit. They can shoot it, Sam Houston, State

520
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,119
may be garnering some respect because they're better tested. They

521
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,000
played Texas Tech, they played Utah, give them credit. Texas

522
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,720
Tech still beat them by almost twenty maybe more than twenty.

523
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,880
Not staring at the final right now, but I know

524
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,359
they beat them pretty good. Utah beat them, it was

525
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,799
somewhat closer, and Wyoming doesn't have those two on their resume.

526
00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:29,200
But to me, Wyoming's just a better team at this point.

527
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,400
You know, I played their team total last game and

528
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,240
they got there for me. They scored ninety three. I

529
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,440
think they do it again here. Sam Houston State likes

530
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,079
to run. The game's gonna be up and down. The

531
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,359
betting market has absolutely gone crazy on the total, pushing

532
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,039
it up, up, up, up up. I think it's about

533
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:49,640
a seven point move. Now, I could somewhat concur but

534
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,920
I really like the underdog side here scoring their share, which,

535
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,839
like I said, I believe is going to be over

536
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,599
seventy nine and a half. So that's the way I'm

537
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,880
gonna look like that Wyoming Guard play here, guys, for

538
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,559
those who haven't seen, and you get a chit to

539
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:04,319
take a look, take a look tonight. And let me

540
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,400
just before I stop here, let me just thank Garth

541
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:11,039
every day with the donation, every single day, donation, donation, donation,

542
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,559
appreciate you, thank.

543
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: You very much, absolutely appreciate it. And he's been asking

544
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,920
about games. We've been for the most part getting right,

545
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:22,839
so we kind of got to keep it going here.

546
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

547
00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: So the only other thing I'll add there, just Rob,

548
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:29,880
I think you kind of are on the right track

549
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,720
with the Wyoming over again. It's really just more I've

550
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,960
been very impressed with what I've seen from them offensively

551
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,079
thus far. But the one point I'll kind of make

552
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,039
about Sam Houston here is I still think they're getting

553
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,160
like a little bit of respect from like their preseason ranking,

554
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,599
because the only three games this team has played so

555
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,519
far was a non D one game that they won,

556
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,039
and then they lost it to Texas Tech and Utah

557
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:57,759
on the road. So I feel like people are are

558
00:27:57,839 --> 00:28:00,240
kind of looking at it like, oh, Okay, well they

559
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:02,759
played Texas Tech in Utah almostly almost as if they're

560
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:05,799
getting credit for playing those two games when they still

561
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,839
they still lot now they did cover against Utah and

562
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,200
actually played pretty good, but like I almost feel like

563
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,599
they're getting like credit for like playing those two games,

564
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,200
when it's like, okay, so you played two Power Conference teams,

565
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:21,039
you covered against one, you got run out by Texas Tech. Like,

566
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,880
I'm still trusting my pro This is one of the

567
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:28,079
few scenarios where I'm still willing to trust my preseason

568
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,319
assessment of Sam Houston State, because they really haven't played

569
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,599
an opponent that's in their weight class yet. You played

570
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:36,960
a non D one and you've played two teams that

571
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,680
are from power conferences. This is an opponent in their

572
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,279
weight class, and it's an opponent that's better than them

573
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,599
in said weight class. I don't think Sam Houston's going

574
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,079
to score enough to keep up of Wyoming.

575
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: Simple as that.

576
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:50,599
Speaker 2: So this will be by Parlay Lake client play for

577
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,799
me and I will go Wyoming plus.

578
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:54,799
Speaker 1: Can I get plus two and a half? Still? Is

579
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:55,599
that out there? Brian?

580
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: It's on It's a fan duel a very popular website

581
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:00,039
I under.

582
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,119
Speaker 1: So we'll say Wyoming plus two and a half.

583
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: If I have to attach the minus one twenty to

584
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:07,480
it by the end of the show, I will do that.

585
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,759
And uh, yeah, thanks for the donation, Garth, thank you

586
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:14,079
for the question, and yeah, Wyoming plus two and a

587
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:15,359
half parlay Lay go ahead, Brian.

588
00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, guys, and remember you know

589

Friday here on the wage dot YouTube channel. Just wanted

595
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:37,480
to make that clear.

596
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also if you didn't know, we all sell

our plays at wager talk dot com, So if you

598

given day, head on over to wager talk dot com.

600
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:51,880
We have great specials up right now, full court package,

601
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,680
get you three day. I've already fired five college basketball

602
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,640
plays for the day this Yeah, well, listen, I feel

603
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,960
like I have an edge right now, and I think

604
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,160
it makes more sense to kind of spread it out

605
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:05,920
three and two for me. Last night hit my four percenter,

606
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,480
which was the top play, and I'm beating a lot

607
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:11,960
of numbers on these, so again that is my shameless

608
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,200
plug for myself, if.

609
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: You will, yeah, and then yeah, I'll just say I

610
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,640
gave out a lot of stuff obviously iona here on

611
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,920
the show. That was a nice play, Yes, very easy.

612
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:26,240
I wish that was my five dollar Tuesday play because

613
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,599
my five dollars Tuesday play in football on Bowling Green.

614
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,960
That was one of the most unconscionable interceptions at the

615
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:36,079
end of the game that I've that you'll ever see.

616
00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:38,359
I thought we were stealing it the whole way. I

617
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,160
really felt good the whole way. And sorry, gang, I

618
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,720
know a lot of you guys jumped on board that

619
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,640
that five dollars playing college football that was the loser

620
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,960
last night. But hopefully cut some of the free plays

621
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,039
here on the Waygertucky YouTube channel because we gave out

622
00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:54,480
some winners. If you want to check at Brian Power

623
00:30:54,559 --> 00:30:56,960
Underscore wins like it says under my name there on

624
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,400
the screen.

625
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Rob I'm gonna go to you for this one.

626
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,119
Speaker 2: But but before I do, Brian gave out IONI yesterday

627
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,440
won by like one hundred.

628
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,079
Speaker 1: I feel like they were up by thirty. Uh you

629
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,160
love coaching changes.

630
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,599
Speaker 2: Rob Iona brought in an NBA guy, Dan Jireau. I

631
00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:16,599
didn't realize they were bringing an NBA team to Newer

632
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,400
show because that team has looked and I can't stand

633
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:23,079
giving them an ounce of credit. We don't like Iona

634
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,200
over at Sienna. It's a it is our mac rival.

635
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,640
We've that's been going on for a long time now.

636
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,079
But they look awesome. I'm glad we don't have to

637
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:36,240
play them. Sianna doesn't have to play them until like January,

638
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,240
hopefully they can get this out of their system.

639
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: But they look incredible so far.

640
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: Can I give you sup the real fast here? Because

641
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,440
I was going to bring you back show, but I

642
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,839
want to say now, good friend of mine been in

643
00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:52,279
business with him for a little bit for the last

644
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:56,839
twenty five thirty years, but he's a Stillwater guy, Oklahoma

645
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,559
State through and through, although he graduated Vanderbilt. He sends

646
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:03,119
me thisquo when you said Iona is like a pro team, Adam,

647
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,839
it just reminded me of this. I gotta read this

648
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,680
text to you guys. And we're talking going back and

649
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,039
forth about Steve Lutz, and he says to me, he says,

650
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:12,559
I take it all back on Lutz. He's common cool,

651
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:16,759
but Active Pokes are a semi pro team and it's crazy.

652
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,440
Jump twenty spots on Kem Palm after the A and

653
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,319
M win and they're just getting started. They have it

654
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:26,519
all size, score and shooting, rebounding, ball handling experience, and

655
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,359
an adult Iranian man who looks like Freddie Mercury. So

656
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:35,039
to teams that are semi pro wre pro, my buddy

657
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,519
is very very high on Oklahoma State, who tonight is

658
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:39,160
anywhere between four and half and five and a half

659
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,519
point favorites against South Florida. If anybody wants to talk

660
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:43,599
about that game.

661
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rob, I want to go back to you on

662
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,160
that because not only do we have Oklahoma State, but

663
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,720
we have Nate Oates junior over at South Florida and

664
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:56,000
Brian Hodgson, who is is playing a suddenly if you

665
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,720
I don't know, if you know, if you haven't watched

666
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,880
South Florida yet this year, they look a lot like Alabama,

667
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,839
maybe not to the caliber of the player that they're

668
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:08,400
getting like Alabama's getting basically whoever they want. South Florida's

669
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400
got to do a little bit more recruiting to get.

670
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,359
Speaker 1: The guys they want there.

671
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: But Rob, I mean every game is in the nineties,

672
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:19,480
they're up and down. It really is just nay Oates

673
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,079
carbon copy now for USF.

674
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: So that's a talk to me about that game.

675
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,559
Speaker 2: Still Water Oklahoma tonight, Oklahoma State, South Florida.

676
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: How you see it?

677
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think exactly the way we described it, Adam,

678
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:32,960
It's gonna be up and down. Steve Lutz has a

679
00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:35,960
history of playing fast anyway through the OVC. I remember

680
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,599
when Belmont and Murray were together in that league. Steve

681
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,119
Lutz always brought a high tempo team into the games.

682
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:48,160
I think that for what it's worth at this point,

683
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,599
I think Oklahoma State might be a little more well rounded.

684
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:59,680
At home GALLAGHERIBA, again, not an easy place to play,

685
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,960
not a venue that South Florida has frequented over the years.

686
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:10,039
But I think Oklahoma States equipped to go ahead and

687
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:12,960
defend against that style because they'll run it right back

688
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,760
down at South Florida. So full game total, I'm not

689
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,800
that you know, you can't play under let's put it

690
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,039
that way, but I would rather focus on as the

691
00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:26,920
Oklahoma State side, which I think will exceed their team total,

692
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,440
and I think they might cover this game as well.

693
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:32,199
What's yet to be seen out of South Florida, and

694
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920
really what's yet to be seen out of Natos's Alabama

695
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:41,599
is ability to play defense at any sort of consistent level.

696
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,239
Like Alabama, South Florida doesn't mind if you score on them,

697
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,239
because they're just going to take it out of the

698
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,519
bucket and try and score three on your two. Oklahoma

699
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:53,039
State's been fairly good at shooting the threes, so they

700
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:56,199
might match them there. I think it's a high scoring game. No,

701
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,960
you know, you don't need advanced knowledge to make that statement,

702
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,760
but I do think the Oklahoma State side. It's funny, Adam,

703
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,519
I was gonna say, I'm being proactive with Oklahoma State,

704
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:10,280
but yet this line is five someplaces five and a half,

705
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,079
and it seems like the market has bought into Oklahoma

706
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:17,320
State early in early betting because it was four and

707
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,960
a half as an opener. So maybe I'm not as

708
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,199
proactive as I think with semi inside knowledge that I

709
00:35:25,199 --> 00:35:27,480
think is gonna help me. But I like the Oklahoma

710
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:29,679
State side. And I'll just add one more because I

711
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,719
watched this closely last night. If we're going to talk

712
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,840
about natos's coaching tree, Georgia Southern with a NATO's disciple,

713
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,599
and I was watching that game close last night to

714
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:40,559
see if it got over the total. Last night. That

715
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:43,719
game was really low scoring against Georgia Tech. Kind of surprise,

716
00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:48,679
Damon Stodamayer against a NATO's disciple run team more or

717
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,440
less bad shooting than really slower tempo. So keep an

718
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,440
eye on Georgia Southern if we're keeping track of all

719
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,280
these NATO's coaches across the country.

720
00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: I have nothing to add to that game, but I

721
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:03,320
want to get my parlay leg out Trig if that's okay,

722
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,880
because I see lash on the screen.

723
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, let's go there. All right.

724
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 3: We're two for two this week, taking short home favorites

725
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,119
in both instances. We mentioned I own a last night

726
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:19,800
running Princeton out of the gym, and then we had

727
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,679
the Dolphins of Lemoine on Monday as a short home

728
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,119
favorite as well. I want to go Jacksonville State. Can

729
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:29,840
I get since we're throwing this in a parlay drag?

730
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,880
Can I just play on the money line? It's thirty

731
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,719
minus one forty on the money line. So before this

732
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,719
show started, guys, if I can feel back the curtain

733
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,599
a little bit, this number moved from two to three

734
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,440
and I was like, okay, it's in line with what

735
00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:47,760
I make this number a lot higher. And I thought

736
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,159
the line was moving in the right direction. As Rob

737
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,920
was breaking down Oklahoma State, all of a sudden, I

738
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,159
started seeing flashes on my screen and it started going

739
00:36:56,199 --> 00:36:58,119
to the other direction. I don't agree with that. I

740
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:00,119
think right now is the time to act. Right now

741
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:02,079
was the time I want to talk about this game.

742
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:04,760
This is a sheer numbers play for me, Trigg. I

743
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,960
make this number north of I think I'm way off

744
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,800
market here now with this line, with the pushback towards

745
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,599
South Alabama, I will talk about the South Alabama side

746
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:15,519
just a little bit. While it's just basically a numbers play.

747
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,800
South Alabama. They're five and zero this year. Okay, A

748
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,199
couple wins over Max schools three wins by six points

749
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,840
or less so far. So I actually really like this

750
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,920
money line angle because I could see this being you know,

751
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:32,440
you know how close game variance goes. You win a

752
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,800
bunch of close games and guess what happens The regression

753
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,639
God said no, no, no, We're not gonna let you

754
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,079
do that anymore. And this could be a close one tonight.

755
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:43,679
So I like the idea of just playing Jacksonville State

756
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,960
on the money line one of those games. It should

757
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,599
be pointed out, and we noted this last week when

758
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,920
South Alabama or it was even maybe two weeks ago

759
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,119
nowt this, but when South Alabama beat Toledo, they were

760
00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:57,159
up bigger in that game, but they did have to

761
00:37:57,159 --> 00:38:00,519
come from behind to beat Alcorn State, which yeah, you know,

762
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,000
so those are like obviously, you know, okay, in one

763
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:05,800
situation they probably should have won my more the other

764
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,519
situation to they were lucky to win it maybe at all.

765
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,760
So give me Jacksonville stayed on the money line for

766
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,239
my leg of the parlay. Here, I think the game

767
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,320
Cocks in South Alabama's unbeaten run of the season.

768
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,119
Speaker 1: Would you say like minus one thirty on that?

769
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 4: Uh?

770
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: Interesting?

771
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: Yes, minus one third. We'll call it minus one thirty five.

772
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,679
Speaker 2: All right, minus one thirty five. All right, we have

773
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,599
two legs at the parlay locked in. Over the next

774
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:36,920
twenty two minutes, we will get a leg from from

775
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,960
Rob Veino to close it out. Someone in the chat

776
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,119
says the Italian Stallion Rob Veino in the chat, saying,

777
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:42,480
what's up?

778
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:44,559
Speaker 1: That's that's b daddy he's been.

779
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: It was a jobber in nineteen eighties wrestling. I think

780
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,159
right there, the Italian Stallion. That's the guy who was

781
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:52,400
losing to Arna Anderson on a Saturday night in nineteen

782
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:52,920
eighty seven.

783
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,519
Speaker 4: Then it was a boa before that.

784
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, so real quick, like WWE job or story.

785
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:03,840
We had one of my buddies, one of my buddies

786
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,199
were was a writer for for WW like like her

787
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,199
his friend was one of his his friends was like

788
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:09,920
years ago.

789
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if he still has the job or not.

790
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 2: But like he would every once in a while, like

791
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,679
they would just name jobbers like random stuff, like if

792
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:20,480
it was a squash match, and like every once in

793
00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:22,920
a while he would like name them like one of

794
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:23,679
our names.

795
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: So like there was like a j not not mine.

796
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: I don't think my name ever got on like Monday

797
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,360
Night Raw, but like definitely a couple of the other

798
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:33,960
guys in the group did where it was just like

799
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,760
they'd come out and get like squashed by like Ryebeck

800
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,760
and like a like a thirty second match just to

801
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,360
you know, sad stuff.

802
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 3: Yet I have a buddy, I'm a good friend who

803
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,280
still rights there. As a matter of fact, I didn't

804
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,119
you and I never had that conversation, trick.

805
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uh.

806
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,039
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it didn't come up in this eight six

807
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:52,119
hours we spent in the.

808
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Car the other day exactly for real, all right, j buff,

809
00:39:57,119 --> 00:39:58,360
We're coming to you. Uh.

810
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,079
Speaker 2: And also, h Aaron Pauling asked about this in the

811
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:04,960
comments of yesterday's show, So that's another thing. Jump into

812
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,079
the comments of the YouTube replay on these and interact

813
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:11,280
with us. We will answer most of them. If you

814
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,239
have a question for the next day, like we're trying.

815
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,679
I try to get in there a couple of times

816
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:17,840
a day. So there's a game that doesn't come up

817
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,239
on here that you have a question about, hop in

818
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,719
the comments on the YouTube replay and one of us

819
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,599
will get to it. And in Aaron's case, I know

820
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:27,400
he said he might not be able to watch the

821
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,000
show today, but we're gonna get your game. And it

822
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:32,480
also happens to be the game that Jay Buff wants

823
00:40:32,519 --> 00:40:35,480
to know about. He wants to discuss Dayton plus five

824
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:37,840
and a half says he really liked this game when

825
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,440
he dove into it. Has not been impressed with what

826
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:43,960
he has seen from Marquette so far. So and I'll

827
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,960
start by going to I'll go to Brian, and then

828
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,400
we can go to Rob next. I wasn't so much

829
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,480
not impressed with Marquette over the weekend, but I was

830
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:56,880
asking myself or I wasn't over the weekend. We did

831
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,760
a show that day because on air Brian, we watched

832
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,320
that Marquette Maryland line explode and I think it got

833
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,760
as high as to like maybe seven, like two and

834
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,079
a half, almost like up to seven seven and a half.

835
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,880
I think people were still laying seven with Marquete because

836
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,679
Maryland had some guys out, and uh, Maryland just played

837
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:17,800
good in that game, Like tip the cap to Maryland.

838
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,519
They just played a really really good game and beat

839
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:23,239
Marquette without a couple of their top players. So what

840
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,840
does that do to your handicap?

841
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,519
Speaker 1: Here? Like how do you take that info and process it.

842
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,199
Speaker 3: This was I figured somebody was gonna ask about this game.

843
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:38,000
My issue is or I don't have an issue. But

844
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,159
you know, Dayton, you know, I look at dat. I

845
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,239
kind of leaned towards taking the points here.

846
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: Dayton.

847
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 3: Their little loss was to Cincinnati. It's okay, that's that's

848
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,719
so they've played somebody of substance. You know, they've they've

849
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,519
been in an unfront, you know, that hostile environment, if

850
00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:58,519
you will. I think Dayton's gonna be better defensively this season. Meanwhile,

851
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:02,960
on the Marquette side, you know, you talk about Saturday's

852
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,480
loss to Maryland. You know they were kind of inefficient.

853
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:10,039
I thought on the offensive end, you know, the three

854
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:13,719
point shooting outside of a Ross and Gold hasn't been

855
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:20,320
that good. Maryland scored a lot forty seven points over

856
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,159
one point one five points per possession.

857
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

858
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,159
Speaker 3: I just look at this right now. If you forced

859
00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:31,280
me to make a play, I would take dateon. I

860
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,920
figured this game was gonna come up in the chat,

861
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,079
so I just wanted to have kind of a lean,

862
00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:39,039
if you will. And to my chagrin, I guess I

863
00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:41,800
agree with Jay buff I would take the points.

864
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: Rob, I want I want to go to you on

865
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:46,599
this one because I wanted to follow you too on

866
00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:48,960
this game because I have opinions on both the side

867
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,239
and total, and I have a feeling that you're going

868
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,000
to talk to me about the total on this one.

869
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

870
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: And I look to the underdog side here, Adam, I

871
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,159
would isolate and play Dayton's team total over. It's seventy

872
00:42:59,199 --> 00:43:00,880
three and a half. It's the lower of the two

873
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:05,480
totals because they are the underdog. And for what it's worth,

874
00:43:05,559 --> 00:43:11,079
with the Marquette side, it's been up tempo basketball NonStop,

875
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:16,239
and you know, Anthony Grant doesn't have the history of

876
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,960
wanting to play that way, guys, but yet they've played

877
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,320
some really high scoring games. It's another team. We're just

878
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,639
on a personal level, sitting down before the game's tip off,

879
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:28,000
opening up a bunch of apps, and I took a

880
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:31,760
shot on Dayton's team total last game and they poured

881
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,320
in ninety plus. I think it was got me over

882
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,639
the team total pretty easily. So they had that ability

883
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,480
to score against a defensive team that's going to, you know,

884
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:45,559
again in shock a smart typical style if they're not

885
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,880
able to come up with steals. They're generally not a

886
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,039
good defense. Trace them back to vcu Vco was never

887
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:55,519
a good half court defense. There was a good trap steal,

888
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,800
runout defense. Dayton handles the ball really well. They shoot

889
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,880
it pretty well, especially from the interior. I'd like the

890
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,400
team total on that side here, Adam. In a game

891
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,480
that I don't think Dayton's gonna be able to control

892
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:11,880
pace for a majority of the game, I think that'll

893
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,559
be Marquette for better than twenty minutes. But I think

894
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:17,280
Dayton could even outscore them in that sort of game,

895
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,119
the better defensive team equipped with offensive weaponry. I just

896
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,159
to me, seventy three and a half look too low.

897
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 2: Rob, I rarely have a strong opinion on a total.

898
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,599
I kind of love the over here. It's not gonna

899
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:33,960
make my card because it's not my It's just like

900
00:44:34,119 --> 00:44:36,440
not really how I bet, and I don't really trust

901
00:44:37,039 --> 00:44:39,800
like my set, like my I don't really make numbers

902
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,280
for totals like it's it's again, it's just just just

903
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,519
not how I attack the market. But this is a

904
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,519
rare scenario where I'm pretty confident that there's gonna be

905
00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:48,800
a lot of points in this game.

906
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,079
Speaker 1: So to go to your point.

907
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 2: Like, you know, the first thing that I thought when

908
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,280
I looked at this was Okay, I'm gonna probably like Marquette,

909
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:01,039
thinking that they're gonna bounce back off of like the

910
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,320
tough Maryland loss. But my number kind of came out

911
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,119
right in line with the market five five and a half.

912
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,480
And I had to like almost like pinch myself a

913
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:11,679
little bit and say, like, did you are you are

914
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:14,360
you being too critical of Dayton because the Dayton games

915
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,960
I've watched just this year, I've watched two Dayton games

916
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:20,519
in their entirety. It was the UNBC game where they

917
00:45:20,679 --> 00:45:23,800
really kind of you know, toughed out a six point

918
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,079
win as like a twenty three point underdog, and then

919
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:30,199
I caught most of the Bethune Cookman game on Saturday,

920
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:32,440
and Dayton's defense was a disaster.

921
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that is not a team. I know they

922
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:36,360
somehow took Auburn to overtime.

923
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: That is not a team that should be like getting

924
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,280
whatever they want on offense against you, and that is

925
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,079
exactly what they did all game. Dayton ended up sort

926
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:46,119
of just like you know, kind of going back to

927
00:45:46,159 --> 00:45:47,920
what you were saying, Robin and why I think you

928
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,599
like the Dayton team total. They just executed on offense

929
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,280
the entire time, put up ninety one points, ended up

930
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,719
winning ninety one to eighty two. But I was very

931
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,599
I was like, man, this team is just not able

932
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:02,679
to stop a slack team. And then the previous game,

933
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,440
you know, they lost that game to Cincinnati by twelve.

934
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,559
Speaker 1: I didn't watch any of that game.

935
00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:09,159
Speaker 2: I feel like I might be even more anti Dayton

936
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:12,360
had I did. So number came out right where I

937
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,159
sort of expected it to be, and you know they

938
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:17,559
haven't now now Dayton hasn't covered in a while, so

939
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:19,880
it's like, maybe this is where they nipped one and

940
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,079
keep it within the number. So I'm not going to

941
00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:24,920
give anything out on the side, but I'm pretty confident

942
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,800
that this is going to have points. So I would

943
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,960
then concur with your with your Dayton team total, Rob,

944
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,599
I think both team totals probably get I think.

945
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,039
Speaker 4: It's it's a little different, Adam, because we have to guess.

946
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:39,559
I'm not at their practices. I'm not in his head.

947
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:42,159
But to me, it seems like Anthony GrITT is making

948
00:46:42,159 --> 00:46:45,320
an adjustment off of his coaching philosophy because of what

949
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,519
he has on the floor. It just seems to me

950
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:50,960
that he sees that maybe he doesn't have the defensive

951
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,760
capability this year, and he's got a team that's more

952
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,719
apt to score points, so that's what he's going with.

953
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:58,719
The game you just brought up is the game where

954
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,800
I had the team told it was the Dune Cookman game,

955
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,840
mainly because Reggie Theis was on the other side and

956
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,480
I just thought they'd be paced they could score on Cookman,

957
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,239
but Cookman pushed back and scored. So it's not the

958
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,159
first time. But Dune Cookman has been good this year

959
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,400
under Reggie Theis, so we'll have to keep an eye

960
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,159
on them too. I think we've said that before, But

961
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,079
I do think seventy three and a half is too

962
00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:20,679
low of a number for DAT and I think they

963
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,400
should get this seventy five pretty easily.

964
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

965
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm feeling generous today and I see like a whole

966
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,480
bunch of people asking about it. And I also kind

967
00:47:30,519 --> 00:47:33,599
of screwed myself showing up with this shirt. So I'm

968
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:36,599
gonna go to the I'm gonna go to the Toledo game,

969
00:47:37,199 --> 00:47:41,039
and Rob, I'm coming to you next for a parlay.

970
00:47:41,039 --> 00:47:42,559
So I will give you the heads up there if

971
00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:44,320
you want to sort of figure out what you want

972
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,039
to give out for the parlay or what game you

973
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:47,760
want to go to. But there's a whole bunch of

974
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,519
people asking about Toledo in the chat. Brian Power and

975
00:47:50,559 --> 00:47:55,239
I had the privilege of going to Savage Arena last

976
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,679
weekend two weekends ago.

977
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: They kind of treated us like kings there.

978
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,519
Speaker 2: So thank you to the University of Toledo for sort

979
00:48:02,559 --> 00:48:05,719
of giving us the full access, the full tour. I

980
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,280
think we were on like I think we're on like

981
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,199
an hour tour at one point.

982
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:11,199
Speaker 1: All the behind the scenes stuff they have.

983
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: They opened this great new area that's all has nothing

984
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:16,760
to do with the handicap here, But you know, we

985
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,639
just felt like I would bring it up. People want

986
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:23,079
to talk Toledo, Youngstown State. Brian and I truly feel

987
00:48:23,079 --> 00:48:25,000
like I feel like I have a I told you

988
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,159
this in the car on the way to East Lansing.

989
00:48:27,679 --> 00:48:30,840
I felt like I had this Toledo team pegg and

990
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,400
now the last two times they've played since we went,

991
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,760
I've cashed tickets for and against them. I cashed with

992
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,639
Toledo against Wright State, and then I faded them over

993
00:48:39,679 --> 00:48:42,559
the weekend with a Detroit team that was catching ten points.

994
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:45,280
I just didn't think there was any any way that

995
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,960
Toledo should be favored in that game.

996
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 1: What I figured out.

997
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:52,519
Speaker 2: With Toledo is they're going to struggle against a zone.

998
00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:55,320
We saw the game that we saw Brian Marshall made

999
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,800
the adjustment. Second half they did. They tweaked their zone

1000
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,719
a little bit. Toledo couldn't get a shot off. Go

1001
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,360
back to the first game they played South Alabama team,

1002
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,719
we just talked about very good zone defense.

1003
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:08,199
Speaker 1: Toledo dug them.

1004
00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: Now they figured it out at the end, almost came

1005
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,679
back and won, but dug themselves a huge hole in

1006
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,239
that game. The Right State game was a better matchup

1007
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,480
for them, and they went into Right State one easily.

1008
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,559
I think Youngstown State is a good matchup for Toledo

1009
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,599
as well. I just don't think they're going to hit

1010
00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:26,239
them with that type of defense. They've got a little

1011
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,480
bit of a size, you know, They've got some size

1012
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,480
on the inside where they're be able to get the

1013
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,639
ball into the paint. And so I really do like

1014
00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:36,239
Toledo in this spot. I just think it's a far

1015
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,239
more favorable matchup. And now like you're getting them as

1016
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,079
like a pick on their home floor. Lost a couple

1017
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:45,000
of home games in an arena that they really don't

1018
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,400
lose at home that often. I think they get this

1019
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,280
one here. You are nodding. Do you agree with Toledo moneyline?

1020
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,440
I played that for earlier.

1021
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,119
Speaker 3: Yes, they're owing three against the spread at home so far,

1022
00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:58,480
with the two outright losses to start the year to South,

1023
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,719
the aforementioned South Alabama and game we were at against Marshall.

1024
00:50:02,199 --> 00:50:04,960
Then they don't cover against Detroit. That was a winner

1025
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
for you. They were laying ten one by seven. I

1026
00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:11,679
think it's time for the Rockets to cash at Savage Arena.

1027
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,320
I would concur and co sign with that play right

1028
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:16,920
there on the Rockets.

1029
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: What what do you think they're serving for dinner tonight?

1030
00:50:20,039 --> 00:50:21,119
There is the real question.

1031
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:22,559
Speaker 3: I don't know, but man, I'll tell you what. Man,

1032
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:26,119
those those those those those tacos smelled good. I mean,

1033
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,960
lord knows, I don't know. I wound up eating enough

1034
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,639
tacos that's Saturday, but man, those I was about ready

1035
00:50:30,639 --> 00:50:32,400
to just kind of like just duck out on our

1036
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,039
tour and just start stealing tacos.

1037
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, they had like eight different food stations out. Yeah,

1038
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,639
like the season ticket holder, folks.

1039
00:50:40,679 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, your season ticket holder, You're getting treated like a

1040
00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:44,840
king at the Savage Arena.

1041
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:45,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1042
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,599
Speaker 2: If you have access to any of those private areas

1043
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,360
at Toledo's arena, you are it is. It is far

1044
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,800
exceeds your typical like mid major experience, I would say,

1045
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:58,559
And just just to be clear, Toledo money line minus

1046
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:01,239
one fifteen. That is another one of my client plays.

1047
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,480
Like I said, I'm I'm feeling generous today because I

1048
00:51:03,559 --> 00:51:04,440
got like five plays.

1049
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:05,599
Speaker 1: I'll probably add others.

1050
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 3: This is the holiday season.

1051
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I was gonna put Toledo in the parlay,

1052
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,119
but but Garth asked about Wyoming. I got excited and

1053
00:51:14,159 --> 00:51:17,000
through that one an instant. So, uh, Toledo three percenter

1054
00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:17,480
all game?

1055
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: I like quite a bit. And yeah, I just I

1056
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,159
think it's a good bet. I think it's a good

1057
00:51:21,159 --> 00:51:21,800
matchup for them.

1058
00:51:22,679 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 2: All right, Rob, do you have the game that's gonna

1059
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,519
close this three team around?

1060
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna and hopefully the chet doesn't accuse me

1061
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,760
of being a homer because I've done this before, but

1062
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,519
I'm gonna go back.

1063
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:37,559
Speaker 2: I gave Sianna out on the show the other day

1064
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:38,480
couldn't be worse than me.

1065
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go back to the well. I mean

1066
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,480
we barely got there by half a point the first time.

1067
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,360
I'm gonna go back to the will with Belmont Tonight

1068
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,079
against lipscoumb Belmont is a thirteen and a half point shock.

1069
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:52,079
I think at this point they've been bid up a

1070
00:51:52,119 --> 00:51:53,880
little bit, from twelve and a half to thirteen and

1071
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,679
a half. Totals going way up. For those who don't know,

1072
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,599
I mean, this isn't Ohio State Michigan, but this is

1073
00:52:00,599 --> 00:52:05,159
a pretty hot rivalry. Belmont Lipscomb. Casey Alexander, coach of Belmont,

1074
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:07,559
coach there and this was his dream job to come back.

1075
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:10,679
And you know when Rick Byrd, you know, finally put

1076
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,800
the vest to rest and stepped down as Belmont head coach,

1077
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,599
Casey Alexander stepdad. He's done a great job. Belmont off

1078
00:52:17,599 --> 00:52:20,159
to a pretty good start here. Lipscomb not so much.

1079
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:25,519
Guys coaching change here, and you know, it appears that

1080
00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:27,199
there's a little bit of a different First of all,

1081
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,920
Lipscomb is generally a very very good shooting basketball team.

1082
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,679
It's how they win games is by offense, not defense.

1083
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:37,719
And this year their shooting numbers are drastically down against

1084
00:52:38,199 --> 00:52:41,639
not a hot not so hot schedule. So I'm wondering

1085
00:52:41,679 --> 00:52:43,800
a little bit about the coaching change here that's taking

1086
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,519
place in Lipscomb. Meanwhile, Belmont, they too haven't really gotten

1087
00:52:47,519 --> 00:52:50,079
to their three point capabilities as of yet, but they're

1088
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:54,679
playing a little more to their interior strengths this season,

1089
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,920
which I think would help here. There's going to be

1090
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:01,960
a lot of emotion. They'll be full focus on both sides.

1091
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,880
I think in this one, Belmont, if they don't get

1092
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,039
off to a fast start and open up margin early,

1093
00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:11,119
I think they pull away late. They've just got the

1094
00:53:11,119 --> 00:53:14,239
better you know, Lipstom has got returning personnel, so it

1095
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,599
kind of makes no sense that they're stumbling the way

1096
00:53:16,599 --> 00:53:18,840
they're stumbling out of the gates. But I think we

1097
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,760
have to take advantage of it while we can. When

1098
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,239
they get into the conference play, they'll probably be rounded

1099
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,159
into form by then. I don't think it happens now.

1100
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,159
I like Belmont. Here a team that can get you

1101
00:53:27,199 --> 00:53:30,000
to ninety in the blink of an eye. Bellmont minus

1102
00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:34,079
the thirteen and a half and real quick here, guys,

1103
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:37,800
I mentioned air Force and Army and air Force have

1104
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,199
now made Adams worst five in the country list, So

1105
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,079
boo to the military academies for being so bad at

1106
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:46,679
college basketball. But air Force has taking money today, guys.

1107
00:53:47,159 --> 00:53:49,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should talk about that quick because that is

1108
00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:52,039
a Navy's good this year. So shout out to Navy.

1109
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:53,719
I think they're gonna be in the mix. And the Patriot,

1110
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,760
Darry Hardaway says Rob Vino the Goat. I second that,

1111
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:00,639
and I hope we can get it for you guys

1112
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:02,679
on the parlay because we keep going two and one,

1113
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,400
but I think the info has been beneficial and hopefully

1114
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,639
we'll go three and now today, but we have a

1115
00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:11,119
few minutes, so we'll recap the parlay at the end

1116
00:54:11,119 --> 00:54:13,639
of the show. Rob, let's talk about that game, because

1117
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,519
I'm not going to bet it, but I have some opinions,

1118
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,639
and I think it's we have air Force at home

1119
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,119
against Alabama State, a swack team.

1120
00:54:22,519 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: The opening number was minus one.

1121
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,599
Speaker 2: Who would have ever imagined you'd see something like that,

1122
00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:29,800
And now air Force is taking money and I don't

1123
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,280
know if I really agree with that. So what do

1124
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,639
you make of this? Rob Cloon Arena tonight and Fort Colin,

1125
00:54:36,559 --> 00:54:39,719
Colorado Springs, Colorado the air Force Falcons.

1126
00:54:40,199 --> 00:54:42,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, you really don't know what to make out of

1127
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:45,320
it from a fundamental standpoint. Adam Right, I would argue

1128
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,280
that Alabama State's going to be pretty good in the

1129
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:54,039
swack this year. But how often does Alabama State travel

1130
00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:57,280
to the altitude of Colorado. That's your problem here and

1131
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,719
probably why the money's come in on the air Force side.

1132
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,840
I mean, Alabama State, are they going to be gassed

1133
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:06,079
ten minutes to go in the game and just watch

1134
00:55:06,159 --> 00:55:09,199
air Force shoot a few threes and open up some margin.

1135
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,320
I'm not sure. I don't think air Force is any good,

1136
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,519
like we've said repeatedly here, and actually we've played against

1137
00:55:15,519 --> 00:55:20,159
them in the parlay, so that verifies that. But I

1138
00:55:20,199 --> 00:55:22,840
would say that on a different floor, maybe I would

1139
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,039
bet Alabama State in this game. But on this floor, again,

1140
00:55:27,079 --> 00:55:30,400
it's just a strange, strange road trip for a SWACK

1141
00:55:30,519 --> 00:55:34,119
team to take into Colorado Springs, and I don't know

1142
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,320
enough about them in altitude to know if this roster

1143
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,320
is going to handle it or not.

1144
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: What's your number on this one, Brian? Did you have

1145
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:43,960
Did you have a number for the scheme?

1146
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: I didn't actually do that one. Anybody can we can

1147
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,880
get that very handy because Gus, while you're getting that,

1148
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,440
both these teams start with A, so it's gonna be

1149
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,280
very easy for me to do easy.

1150
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,679
Speaker 4: To stort alphabet power.

1151
00:55:56,199 --> 00:56:02,079
Speaker 2: Yes, So yeah, while you're while you're getting your number,

1152
00:56:02,119 --> 00:56:04,840
all I'll say is like I made I personally made

1153
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,599
the number where it opened air Force minus one, and

1154
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,719
I like, this is a scenario where so I've been

1155
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,559
to Kloone Arena before, they they probably won't be much

1156
00:56:15,599 --> 00:56:19,440
of an atmosphere at this game. So it's like, I

1157
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,119
think the altitude thing is a little bit overblown, especially

1158
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:25,039
when it comes to Air Force, who plays very very slow.

1159
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,039
Like it's like not like Air Force is going to

1160
00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:29,480
like tempo you to death. So I don't know how

1161
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,840
you're really getting tired playing against Air Force, to be honest,

1162
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:37,159
Like they play slow, their offense is abysmal. So it's

1163
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,480
like for me, like I think people like you're saying,

1164
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:42,760
Robert just betting air oh air Force at home altitude

1165
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,119
like huge advantage is it? Though, like didn't they didn't

1166
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,719
a long island sort of like get there there in

1167
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,239
the second half of that game, so it's like they

1168
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,079
didn't run out of gas. Alabama State had no problem

1169
00:56:56,159 --> 00:56:59,400
with you, ab like I kind of like Alabama State

1170
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,320
here too. Actually at the current number.

1171
00:57:02,119 --> 00:57:05,519
Speaker 3: So you asked, himbout, I made it one point seventy five.

1172
00:57:05,679 --> 00:57:07,360
That means it's kind of just falls between one and

1173
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,519
a half and two obviously for the lines. So I

1174
00:57:10,639 --> 00:57:15,280
was also closer current. And somebody in the chat, Steve

1175
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,280
Duke eagle eye, he points out a good uh, he

1176
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,800
made a good point this Alabama and m tem just

1177
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,079
played Colorado, so that they that actually gave him a

1178
00:57:24,079 --> 00:57:28,679
game to get accustomed, uh to the the altitude out there.

1179
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,119
So again that's another reason maybe it doesn't bother them

1180
00:57:32,159 --> 00:57:34,280
as much besides the fact that air Force uh well

1181
00:57:34,639 --> 00:57:36,159
we left.

1182
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:41,159
Speaker 4: Out of the conversation as they've lost by twenty eight yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1183
00:57:41,159 --> 00:57:41,920
but least.

1184
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been there since Sunday. They've been there since Sunday. Yeah,

1185
00:57:47,199 --> 00:57:49,079
they should at least be a little more acclimated.

1186
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, walking around to it. And whether or not they

1187
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:53,760
could play basketball at it is, I suppose a different story.

1188
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:59,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Matt says.

1189
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,119
Speaker 2: So Matt here says he bet out Alabama State plus

1190
00:58:02,159 --> 00:58:04,440
three and a half list and like, I can't argue

1191
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,960
with that bet. I think I think at that number,

1192
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:08,840
you made a good bet at a good number. What

1193
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,199
what happens will happen. We'll see how it goes. But

1194
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,800
I don't think that that's a bad bet, right there.

1195
00:58:16,199 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 3: Air Force three hundred and fiftieth and adjusted tempo trick

1196
00:58:19,119 --> 00:58:21,679
per KNPOMP. So just to put a number behind what

1197
00:58:21,719 --> 00:58:23,559
you were saying about how they're you know, they're not

1198
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:25,719
exactly looking to run you out of the gym, fly

1199
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,280
you out of the gym, is that it may.

1200
00:58:27,199 --> 00:58:33,199
Speaker 4: Be got to go just just a threeman weave right Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1201
00:58:33,239 --> 00:58:35,119
Speaker 2: Every once in a while they hit a nice back cup,

1202
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:38,599
but that is an abysmal, abysmal offense. And last year

1203
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,039
they would have like Ethan Taylor would bail them out

1204
00:58:41,039 --> 00:58:42,639
every once in a while. He was a very very

1205
00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:46,039
good individual talent that they had. I don't think they

1206
00:58:46,039 --> 00:58:47,559
have that this year. And I think that's why you're

1207
00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:51,320
going to see them be historically bad for a Mountain

1208
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,400
West like se sort of power conference team. I know

1209
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,760
Mountain West is they get called mid major sometime. That's crazy,

1210
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:00,960
that's a mid major league.

1211
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,199
Speaker 3: But yeah, Nottie, I think they're above a high major

1212
00:59:03,199 --> 00:59:05,679
by the way air Force three hundred thirty third off

1213
00:59:05,719 --> 00:59:08,639
an adjusted offensive efficiency at ken Pum Alabama A and M

1214
00:59:08,679 --> 00:59:12,000
three hundred thirty seventh. So I don't know. Maybe it's

1215
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:13,320
what's the total.

1216
00:59:13,039 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 4: Wait till the David Army plays air Force this season.

1217
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, this total, the totals dropping like a rock, and

1218
00:59:19,639 --> 00:59:21,760
I can't I can't argue. Well, you know, I think

1219
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,800
we all kind of don't really agree with the way

1220
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,960
the spread's moving, but I do sort of concur with

1221
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,159
the way this total is moving.

1222
00:59:30,559 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: All Right, we have reached the end of the show,

1223
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,960
which means we recap the parlay one more time. I

1224
00:59:35,039 --> 00:59:38,320
did price in a minus one twenty for Wyoming, and

1225
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,800
I put a minus one thirty five for Brian's moneyline play.

1226
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,000
So the parlay odds today will be plus five ten,

1227
00:59:46,239 --> 00:59:48,320
which is fine. I'd take a five plus five to

1228
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,480
ten hit, especially after the last couple of ones that

1229
00:59:51,519 --> 00:59:53,079
have not gone our way.

1230
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: But still up.

1231
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,599
Speaker 2: I believe it's eight units on the season, eight point

1232
00:59:56,679 --> 00:59:59,400
eight something like that. I've got the exact count somewhere.

1233
00:59:59,519 --> 01:00:02,239
I'll have it tomorrow. Winter lose, the parlay is gonna

1234
01:00:02,239 --> 01:00:05,840
be Wyoming plus two and a half Belmont for Rob

1235
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,079
Veno minus thirteen and a half, and then Brian Power

1236
01:00:09,199 --> 01:00:12,920
is gonna go Jacksonville State minus one thirty five on

1237
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,440
the money line, So a three team are all sides

1238
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,519
today Wyoming plus two and a half, Jacksonville State on

1239
01:00:18,559 --> 01:00:21,119
the money line minus one thirty five, and then Veno

1240
01:00:21,719 --> 01:00:24,719
is going Belmont minus thirteen and a half. Thank you
