1
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in everybody. It is Friday. It is

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,759
time for full court press. Brian power back in the

3
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:14,119
middle of your screen to close out the week. And

4
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:17,960
you know, once again, college basketball does it to us.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: Probably a trillion games tomorrow.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,359
Speaker 1: I haven't even like gotten through, like looking how many

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,039
games there are. Although I don't think it's a normal

8
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,280
Saturday because the finals. But this is like the norm,

9
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:29,519
which is a little bit annoying. Like, listen, it's Friday.

10
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:32,280
If you have a game schedule for Saturday, you could

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,840
play it on Friday, like you could, Like, there has

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,200
to be a way where we end up Friday nights

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,320
with more than eight games, and it just doesn't make

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:40,840
any sense.

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: But yet that that is where we're at.

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: But there are eight games that we can talk about

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,200
and hopefully find some angles to win. Uh, Brian, I

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,799
saw the slate today. I knew Yukon Texas would be

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,399
our feature game. I dressed accordingly with my Yukon jacket

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,600
in my head. I'm like, if our buddy Joey Cheese

21
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,399
was here, He's like Yukon by double digits. But the

22
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,040
problem is now they don't cover more than double digits. Yeah,

23
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:09,000
so talking at Yukon Texas.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really so. You know, our buddy Joey Cheese

25
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,359
is ah Yukon's the best team in the country or

26
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,159
you know in that discussion. They are in that discussion.

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,840
But the issue Trigger and Robins, they're not covering spreads.

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,439
I mean, you go by the closing number the other

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,480
night against Florida, they didn't cover that. So now you

30
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:30,280
know they're three and seven against the spread, and you

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,599
know what are the numbers they've covered. They were four

32
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:34,640
and a half point favorite against Illinois they covered. They

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,680
were two and a half point favorite at Kansas they

34
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:37,840
covered the other one.

35
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:38,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

36
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: They were a gigantic favorite against UMass Lowell early in

37
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:42,799
the year thirty five and a half and won by

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,280
a billion.

39
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: Uh.

40
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:52,159
Speaker 3: But I gotta say this, I've I have consistently shown

41
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:57,840
value on these Yukon spreads on the other side, and

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,719
I ratings wise, I don't know about you guys, show

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,799
a little bit of value on the Texas Longhorns. Do

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,199
I feel great about it? Is it? Am I going

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,400
to bet that side?

46
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: No?

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: I don't think I will. Maybe if it could. You

48
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:16,800
know the question you ask, if it gets up even higher, Well,

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,039
what am I missing here, right, because sometimes it's something

50
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,280
we've talked about here these first several weeks of the season,

51
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120
is when these lines, you know, just start moving in

52
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:28,240
the direction that our power rankings disagree with. Is it

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,400
our you know? Sometimes it's our power ratings are wrong.

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,360
So I don't know the game for me where you

55
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,759
can my powerrting say Yukon should not be favored by

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560
this many. That is the line in the sand. I

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,639
am drawing the definitive declarative statement. If you will, I

58
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,039
will make to open our discussion here on Texas versus Yukon.

59
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:54,719
Speaker 4: Right there we go, mind the sand drawn, I'll move

60
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:59,439
over to against. This is the only game where we

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,800
can really quote guys. Let's just give you a couple here, Adam.

62
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,159
We've said this before, but it's nice to hear Dan

63
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,680
Hurley say it. Here's Dan Hurley. The strength of our

64
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,639
team is our first nine guys. We've been preaching one

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,479
through nine depth at every single position. He says, it's

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,280
the most balanced team he's ever coached. Sean Miller, on

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,560
the other hand, is getting repetitive on us again. Look,

68
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:26,919
we have problems on defense. Unless we get better. Unless

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,759
me us as a staff solve some of these problems.

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,120
We're not going to be good enough. I can be

71
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:37,439
labeled as a Homers sometimes, but Joey Cheese, you're not wrong.

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,199
This probably is, you know, arguably one of the three

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,400
best teams in the country. I just the defensive disparity

74
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:48,039
between these two guys is huge. Yukon plays a ton

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000
of defense from the you know, from outside the Ark

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,199
all the way to the rim. Texas struggling with teams.

77
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,159
Eighty eight they allowed to Virginia, got aviscerated by nineteen,

78
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,080
give up ninety seven to nd C State, give up

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,599
eighty seven to Arizona State. That's in their last four games,

80
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:09,960
three totals like that. Here, Yukon's listed at eighty and

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120
a half. Not sure how they don't get there. This

82
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,160
is the last stepping stone before they hit conference season.

83
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,360
I believe Butler is next. This is probably a game

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,639
or Hurly on national television. Wants to have his team

85
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,560
in prime shape for the conference season. I'm going to

86
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,639
avoid trying to lay points here, but I'm going to

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,720
go with the matchup that probably screams the loudest, and

88
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,600
that's the Yukon offense, which comes from all over the

89
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:38,800
floor against the Texas defense, which you know, their head

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,439
coach tells you and the results tell you that they've

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000
got serious issues. They're just not as deep Texas right now.

92
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:49,240
Wiltshire really good three point shooter. I have to play

93
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,720
Yukon over eighty and a half here, guys, team totally

94
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:52,600
focus on this one.

95
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:55,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want that.

96
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: I think if you like the Yukon side, I think

97
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:01,360
that's maybe a better angle. I will also to that point,

98
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,240
here's what also would make me uneasy. Trigg and Rob

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,439
about the Texas side. As we were on here earlier

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,000
this week talking about not wanting to lay a big

101
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,800
number with Texas against Southern Granted they did just barely

102
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:19,759
cover that. But you know, to Rob's point about Yukon

103
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120
team to over Texas foul, I think they had a

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,240
lot of fouls in that game. They were not able

105
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,360
to defend without fouling. That's not good when you're such

106
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,639
a superior opponent. I think they had what twenty three fouls?

107
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,959
I think I have it down here. Yeah, they committed

108
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:39,079
twenty three foules. That's terrible when you're a superior opponent. Now,

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,120
the other thing I wanted to add with Yukon, just

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,920
going back to our previous discussion with Florida, is I

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,480
was a little surprised that, you know, we thought they

112
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,839
could offset Florida on the boards, and they actually didn't.

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,160
They were not rebounded forty to twenty eight in that game.

114
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,600
That's again what kept Florida in it, similar to the

115
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,920
Duke game, was the glass. So but you know, I

116
00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,519
expect you kind of have the you know, have the

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,519
rebounding edge here, so the team total over maybe you know,

118
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,399
hearing Rob say that, kind of what's my whistle so

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,199
to speak.

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, plenty of opportunity for rebounds if you're Florida.

121
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,000
When Zavi and Lee can't make a shot. Believe he

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,480
was five.

123
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Fourteen in that game, and yeah they hung around there.

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Listen if you had.

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it came down to free throws for the

126
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,560
I believe the cover in that game, So it could

127
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,079
have gone either way. I think I kind of where

128
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:31,160
I'm at on this one. My number surprisingly came out

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,160
very close to what the number is right now. I

130
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,399
make Yukon, I think fourteen point like three or something

131
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,720
like that. So fourteen, we'll call it fourteen and a half.

132
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,920
It's up to fifteen. I saw someone in there say

133
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:44,680
fifteen and a half. Maybe there maybe there is a

134
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,279
fifteen and a half out there somewhere. You know, I

135
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,759
don't know that this goes high enough where I'm going

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,319
to be tempted to take Texas. I'd be really surprised

137
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,720
if it goes much further. Like fifteen and a half

138
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,480
feels like the peak to me. I think someone will

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,600
come in and buy back at fifteen and a half.

140
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,680
So you're probably looking at the fourteen and a half

141
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,079
to fifteen and a half range to bet this game.

142
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:12,279
Rob you talked about Texas going into the Southern game

143
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,000
and Miller sort of wanting to make a statement, and

144
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:18,079
you know, like Brian said, like that's that's the type

145
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,120
of team you can kind of make a statement against,

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,959
even if you're like not, you know, even if you're

147
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,920
not an elite team right Southern at home, we've seen

148
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:33,360
some of these, you know, swack teams struggle on the

149
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:35,639
road now that it's December. So for me, like, I'm

150
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,519
not putting too much stock into that. Volcatitis is obviously Texas,

151
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,680
that's their sort of path. I think playing through him

152
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:48,120
it has been their their best that's the best way

153
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,240
that they can. I'll go back to the NC State

154
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560
game where he was able to get very close to

155
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
the hoop deep on NC State and they really couldn't

156
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360
handle that, like Yukon's can be able to handle that.

157
00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:59,319
Speaker 2: Yukon's got an answer.

158
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,959
Speaker 1: So again, I just don't know that I want to

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,319
fade Yukon at home in this spot. We know Hurley

160
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:10,600
likes to make statements and kind of feels like a

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,680
spot where he could make one.

162
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,079
Speaker 2: So yeah, they.

163
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: Follow personalities too, guys that Hurley against Sean Miller. I

164
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,920
don't know anything about their history. I almost had a

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,879
good mind to ask Chet GPT or whatever this morning

166
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480
AI if Sean Miller and Dan Hurley even like each other,

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,240
just so I could add an angle to this game.

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,240
But Brian, to the point of Florida doing the job

169
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,240
on the boards, I think what hindered you kind of

170
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,000
that game too? Terras Reid four files only twenty four minutes.

171
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,639
You kind of was down to one big man against

172
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,519
Florida's four and when he had to ride the pines

173
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,200
day were I mean, Florida was doing some offensive glass

174
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,320
work in that game and defensive glass. So if Terry

175
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speed can avoid foul trouble here, always a big hit.

176
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,399
But if he does, they just outnumber Texas in the

177
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,799
big department. They really do. A Caravan I don't even

178
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,720
you know, we don't consider him a big when we're

179
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,639
speaking at the Ukon of centers, but Caravan works on

180
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,039
the glass as well, so it will see. I just

181
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:08,919
think you kind of has too much firepower here and

182
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600
too much defense. They'll turn defense into offense in this game,

183
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:12,000
for sure.

184
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,639
Speaker 3: Joey Cheese, Yeah, I will not Texas. You know, people

185
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,519
perhaps in the chatter watching this on the replay, remember

186
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,480
you can comment, you know, on the re if you're

187
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:24,159
not catching this live, you can still comment down below

188
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,799
and we'll trying to respond. But Texas is I think

189
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360
top ten and defensive, defensive rebound percentage rob But you

190
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,440
look at the opponents, right sometimes you still we're still

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,200
at the part of the year where you've got a

192
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,200
factor in opponents and you look at who they've played.

193
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,879
Maybe that's not that surprise. I mean, Yukon by far

194
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,799
will be the best front court Texas's face this year.

195
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559
So you know when we said earlier you conched at

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,679
the edge of the boards, you know what you might

197
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000
be said, Well, Texas has got a good defensive rebounding

198
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:55,279
percentage number. Well look at who they've played, and look

199
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,840
who they're playing today.

200
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's move it along. We've got eight games

201
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,679
on the slate today. I'm sure we will get to

202
00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:07,519
all of them. I'll listen, I have a four percenter

203
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:08,639
in college basketball today.

204
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to give it out. Hopefully my football players

205
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,080
are winning.

206
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: I got to say that I've been off to a

207
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,000
terrible start in college who I fully expect to turn

208
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:16,519
that around.

209
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:18,639
Speaker 2: I continue to make good bets that lose.

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Last night, Rio Grand Valley minus one went off four

211
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,679
and a half ten point leading the second half.

212
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: Do you think that one? No, it didn't. But those

213
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:27,039
are going to start winning at some point.

214
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,799
Speaker 1: It's just not possible to consistently beat the market by

215
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,240
three four points on some of these and be on

216
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:32,840
the wrong side.

217
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: So I'm not I'm concerned.

218
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people tailing, but like I'm

219
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,600
not worried about like it turning at some point. So

220
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,919
while it's running bad, I'll give them for free, and

221
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,840
you know, I'll promote the fact that I've been very,

222
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:51,440
very good in football. I am head in both college

223
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840
and the NFL, and I've got a five percenter for Sunday,

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,840
so four percent. Someone's like, I heard this yesterday. Yeah,

225
00:10:57,039 --> 00:10:59,279
you're not wrong. I did say the same thing yesterday

226
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,360
and not win in college. Who but we're gonna turn

227
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,200
it around a by. You did win for us yesterday,

228
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,320
so so shout out to Keith Bayou bets Landry. He

229
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,240
was the Brian power. We put him in your chair

230
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,840
to pick the third leg of the parlay, and oh yeah.

231
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: He came in.

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,639
Speaker 1: He came in with a nice over winner. So I'm

233
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,440
gonna try to step it up. I am going to

234
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,320
use uh, this will be my leg of the parlay.

235
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,600
I'm gonna use U NBC minus six. This is actually

236
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,039
a four percent client play to four percenters. So the

237
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,639
vast majority of my plays this year have been threes.

238
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,919
The four percenters are pretty close to even, so hopefully

239
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:38,159
that'll offset some of the losses as well.

240
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: We can hit some of the bigger ones.

241
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,159
Speaker 1: I haven't made a five percent play in college basketball

242
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,799
yet this year.

243
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: Those will be I'll save those for a time.

244
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm running a little bit better, but I hope this

245
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,320
is the turning point tonight u NBC, Brian Power. I'll

246
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:55,159
leave that. You know, I'm gonna leave that part to you.

247
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,679
I don't even want to talk about I'm gonna leave.

248
00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: We saw what happened the other night. I think a

249
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120
lot of people know what happened the other night. It

250
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,960
was one of the all times.

251
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: It really.

252
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,639
Speaker 1: Really UNBC probably should have been Buffalo by more than

253
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,840
six in that game. They they were going away with it,

254
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,039
had an eight to ten point or eight six, I

255
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:19,120
would say, like a six to nine point lead most

256
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:23,399
of the second half. Inexplicably gave up the final eleven

257
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,720
points of the game, and then there was a total just.

258
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:29,039
Speaker 2: They should have had it. It should have been tied.

259
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: There was a foul called against them that you just

260
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,639
you would never imagine that could have possibly been called

261
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:39,360
in the spot that it was called cost them the game.

262
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: They lose the game by four.

263
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: Army a much more, a much easier opponent for them tonight,

264
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:48,240
still on their home floor. I've talked about Army a

265
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,679
lot this year. I still think they are a very

266
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,919
bad team. I think that they've done very well to

267
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,960
hang around in some of these games where they're like

268
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600
an eighteen point underdog. Actually last time out was another one.

269
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,320
I believe they were like an eighteen point dog against

270
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:08,320
maybe George Washington, hung around, lost by fourteen. There's actually

271
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320
a couple of instances where this has happened for them

272
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,559
this year. The Cornell game, the Saint Thomas game. They've

273
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,679
been able to like they still get blown out, Like

274
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,279
they still lose the game and they were never really

275
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,440
in the game, but they cover. And then they had

276
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,399
that crazy win against Manhattan where they managed to hit

277
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:25,919
a whole bunch of threes even though they're one of

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,519
the worst three point shooting teams in the country. Can't

279
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,840
keep happening like this is still a bad basketball team,

280
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120
very little talent, Like you could play hard all you

281
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,200
want at some point, like when you're the less talented team,

282
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:40,639
like every time you step on the floor, you're probably

283
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,480
not going to cover or spread. And UNBC they have talent.

284
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,480
This is I think they're going to surprise some folks

285
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480
in the America East. I think that this team, like

286
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,159
Vermont is probably running away with this league this year.

287
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,679
But if I had to pick a team right now

288
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,159
that I think could step up and steal that second

289
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,679
spot and maybe get into the title game. It's the

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,480
Retrievers Brian Power. So I laid the sixth. I laid

291
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,759
the six points tonight. I think it's probably gonna take

292
00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:07,320
money at some point today and go off seven or eight.

293
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,559
And after the Buffalo lotch, you got to think UNBC

294
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,679
it is hungry to sort of bounce back and might

295
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:15,639
you know, not leave this one a chance in the

296
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:16,720
final two minutes of the game.

297
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:21,159
Speaker 2: So I laid the six. I like UNBC, go fetch Retrievers.

298
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,919
Speaker 3: I like it. And also I don't think this it

299
00:14:23,919 --> 00:14:26,679
probably doesn't matter, but Army they probably they care more

300
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,000
about football this weekend too, So I don't know if

301
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:31,360
that matters well have any effect on this game at all,

302
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,159
But let's just bring it up anyway, because if they

303
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:34,440
lose then it'll sound smart.

304
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I will say so UNBC minus six

305
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,919
still minus six pretty much everywhere.

306
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,399
Speaker 2: A couple six and a half's out there.

307
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: But that will be my leg of the parlay and

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,879
probably my only client play in basketball tonight. So if

309
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:57,039
you guys don't have anything to add there, we got

310
00:14:57,039 --> 00:14:58,879
Colin Gregory in the chat is parlaying.

311
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: He's probably U NBC with.

312
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,679
Speaker 3: A a uh yeah, let's go to Germany. Let's go

313
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:08,480
to Germany for the RB Leipsig.

314
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right up, Yeah, that's right up your alley.

315
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:15,559
Speaker 3: I'll co sign that. I think there. I think they're

316
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,240
gonna win, all right.

317
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,159
Speaker 4: Voll yesterday Arizona.

318
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I missed it. I guess that fell short.

319
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: But that's all right.

320
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give I'm willing to give Colin another

321
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:31,639
or Garth another chance with a volleyball pick. I have

322
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:34,200
a feeling he wins more of those than he loses.

323
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,840
But for now we're going to talk h Garth, thank

324
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:39,360
you again for the donation. Much appreciated. And hey we

325
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,879
still we still appreciate the volleyball picks.

326
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:43,919
Speaker 2: You want to drop them, we'll take a look at them.

327
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: But he wants to talk East Tennessee Austin p and

328
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,240
I was a little he leans East Tennessee minus four

329
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,120
and a half. The market definitely leans that way. This

330
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,320
is up from three and a half. My number was

331
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:02,159
much lower on this. I was closer to pick. So

332
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,159
it makes me wonder.

333
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:03,919
Speaker 4: Rob.

334
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: You know something that we talked about yesterday, these December

335
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,240
road games, a lot of people just phantom out of

336
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,080
the game, right like We've seen teams show up where

337
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,840
guys are not even traveling.

338
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: With the team.

339
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,919
Speaker 1: No, this is pretty close travel right here. East Tennessee

340
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:23,320
Austin P is down in Tennessee as well. Rob anything

341
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,080
East Tennessee Austin P side or total, it looks like

342
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,919
four and a half now for the bucks.

343
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:32,159
Speaker 4: You know, my initial look here, guys, was to play

344
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,759
this one over and again on a short card. You

345
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,000
can do a little bit extra work here, And when

346
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,480
I got into it a little bit, I'm just not

347
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:43,639
sure that we have good enough shooting on the Austin

348
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,799
P s now the home floor. Again, these are personal

349
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,480
general handicapping rules. When you're on your home floor, I

350
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,279
think that your offense can be a little bit better

351
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,000
than it is on the road a lot of times.

352
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:57,000
So maybe Austin P becomes a little bit better shooting,

353
00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:00,480
but East Tennessee State is the better team by I

354
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,879
think the second part of what Guard has to say,

355
00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:07,480
their team total over seventy three and a half on

356
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,480
the ETSU side. I think that's what I could buy

357
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:13,720
into here for what it's worth. Austin P. Not only

358
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,640
are they a bad shooting team, but they haven't played

359
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,480
a lot of deepense, and this schedule is not overwhelming

360
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,200
as of yet on their side, Like they didn't go

361
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:25,240
out and play a bunch of Power fives. They did

362
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,160
go to play Wyoming gave up seventy nine out there,

363
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:31,960
played Ole miss gave up seventy two. There, there's a

364
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:36,119
lot of numbers on their on their ledger that exceed

365
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,759
what we're asked to get to tonight with Etsu who

366
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,440
you know, will obviously want to play this one at

367
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,400
a you know, a fairly quick pace. They allow teams

368
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,960
to shoot the ball fairly fast as well. Austin p

369
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,559
might fall into that. It's a hard case to make

370
00:17:55,839 --> 00:18:00,519
with any thorough conviction team to get the seven. It

371
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,200
might be a way to look. I'll be honest, I

372
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,079
didn't play the game. I probably won't play the game,

373
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,119
but I know he's looking for some sort of lean

374
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,279
on this one. If it were me, Garth, like I say,

375
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,319
my first choice was full game. Over ran into a

376
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,200
little bit of blocks when I tried to handicap it

377
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,640
that way, and I could, I could probably lean toward

378
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,079
the East Tennessee side, getting over seventy three and a

379
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,880
half here. Money, by the way, guys, has been taken

380
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,519
on the ETSU side.

381
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: They've been covering. They've been covering as of late. Over

382
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:35,119
their last eight games, they're six and one against the

383
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,880
number one non board team. You know we talked about

384
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,519
you brought up kind of the the NBA comparison Rob

385
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,680
when I was on the show last about a team

386
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:46,880
played a bunch of road games. First game back home,

387
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,000
Austin P's they might be a little road weary here,

388
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:52,920
even though they're they're glad to be back home, but

389
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,880
they've played a lot of road games. The only game

390
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,680
the East Tennessee State hasn't covered in the last eight

391
00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:01,640
was a trip out to Dayton, so you know that

392
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,279
that they were and they were double digit dog in

393
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:07,079
that game. So you know, the form book, if we

394
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,440
want to keep with the soccer terminology here, definitely favors

395
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,599
the Buccaneers.

396
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just like again, I'm I don't really understand

397
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:21,519
what the move would be toward East Tennessee though at

398
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:24,720
like on the road where this opened, Like for me,

399
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:27,200
like that's the thing, so I had to I want

400
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,359
to go backtrack to I want to backtrack for a

401
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,839
second to something I said, like, it's the it's.

402
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: The road teams.

403
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned with with like leaving guys home and

404
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:36,960
not even traveling.

405
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,599
Speaker 2: It's something vp that that Rob and I sort of talked.

406
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,559
Speaker 1: About yesterday where I've noticed, probably more so than any

407
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,079
other year, that you have like guys that are literally

408
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,039
so I guess again, it's been been a while since

409
00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:51,720
I've been a college student, but it seems like the

410
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,279
flu is like ripping through college campuses right now.

411
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:57,599
Speaker 2: And there's been a couple of cases.

412
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: Probably actually more than a couple, where you've had like

413
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,079
Tarleton left six guys home, Norfolk State left a couple

414
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,640
guys home, where it's like, if guys are sick, they're

415
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,559
not even like traveling with the team to the road game. Okay,

416
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,480
so but in this case less concerned that might be

417
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,799
an issue because of course East Tennessee State is the

418
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,559
road team, and the team I like here would be

419
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:21,599
Austin P. Someone in the chat where Baya says you're

420
00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,160
getting a really good by Loo here on Austin P.

421
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,119
I would agree with that. Like, they've only played two home.

422
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 2: Games this year.

423
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: One was a non board game, so they're obviously going

424
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,519
to win that one, but they crushed Northern Illinois. It's

425
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:39,079
another one of these teams that doesn't get many home

426
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,799
games non conference, So yeah, they are, you know, I

427
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:46,359
guess they're a little road weary, so to speak. But again,

428
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,640
like I still think, you know a team like this

429
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:51,599
that doesn't get many opportunities at home and then they

430
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,200
finally get one, I think I'd still rather have the

431
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,000
home team, especially when they're catching a couple of possessions. Again,

432
00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:02,599
I don't love I like overall handicap on both these teams.

433
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:06,880
That's why I didn't play this yet. But I've got

434
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,359
this pick, like I make this Austin Pek pick, So

435
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,759
I at least got to consider taking the four and

436
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:16,519
a half. Again, I haven't played it yet, but it

437
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:20,359
would be on my radar just from a straight numbers

438
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:24,640
value perspective and the fact that even yesterday I said,

439
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,920
you know what, I'm almost adding a point to the

440
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,400
home team in all of these sort of like mid

441
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:35,079
week finals week type games because you got kids trump

442
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,119
maybe trying. I don't know you kids still Do players

443
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,599
still study? Are they still taking tests? Do they have

444
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,559
to go to it? When I was at Siena, the

445
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:43,880
guys had to take finals. Like I remember sitting next

446
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,279
to Edward, you Belieze taking a final at one point,

447
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:49,279
I think it was art history, but still like you know,

448
00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:51,680
so I don't know, but it used to be finals week.

449
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,079
He got all other stuff going on and there was

450
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,640
a little bit of edge for being at home. I

451
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,440
still think that might be the case, just a little bit.

452
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,839
So yeahan Lean Governors and BP, I'll bring you back in.

453
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,160
We have some Southland Conference action, mad Max, thank you

454
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,279
for the donation, much appreciated. We talked about the Southland

455
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,759
opener a couple of weeks ago and McNee State lost

456
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,000
that game to increnet word as a double digit favorite.

457
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,000
They played another Southland game last week and Bill Armstrong

458
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,079
was so upset he took all his starters out and

459
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,279
just benched him very John Caliperry esque where he was

460
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,720
just like everyone sitting, We're done with this.

461
00:22:31,079 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: They bounced back, they won that game.

462
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: They went up to Rhode Island earlier this week and

463
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,079
got a really nice win for them against an A

464
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:41,279
ten school. Now it's back to Southland play. Mad Max

465
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:44,319
says mcnee's team total is eighty and a half. East

466
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,160
Texas plays towards the slower end of D one spread

467
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,799
or how should I play the team total. Any thoughts

468
00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:52,559
on McNee state for UBP.

469
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: They're probably the right I mean, I don't really like

470
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,119
laying a number like this, but they are probably the

471
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,039
right side. You know, last four times these teams have

472
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:04,599
played three of the WIG games, all of them have

473
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,960
been won by McNeese, three of them by double digits,

474
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,880
sixteen or more. You look at the turnover battle McNeese.

475
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,799
What has fueled mcneice's success over the last couple of years.

476
00:23:13,839 --> 00:23:18,039
They forced a lot of turnovers they I believe I

477
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,400
don't have that the latest Ken Tom deal open, but

478
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,160
they're near the top of the country and forcing turnovers

479
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,799
again this year. McNeese and East Texas, but they are

480
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,000
number one. Okay, there you go. I didn't I didn't

481
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,240
click it over in enough time. And then you look

482
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,119
at East Texas, A and M. I mean, they're not

483
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,880
very good at protecting the basketball. They're outside the top

484
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,400
three hundred in you know, holding on to it offensively.

485
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,599
So there's gonna be a lot of extra possessions here

486
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:46,960
for McNeice if that's what you want, if you're playing

487
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,039
the favorite. You know, the question was about the team total.

488
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,680
A lot of times I've said I've deferred to a

489
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,440
team total over rather than laying this kind of number.

490
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,279
But I personally believe McNee is the right side here,

491
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:05,839
and if they cover it does stand the reason that

492
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,720
they'll score at least eighty one this number, So they're

493
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:12,400
probably the two bets are correlating. Rob team totals a

494
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,960
little more in his wheelhouse, I'll kick it over to

495
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:17,119
him for which one he prefers just laying it or

496
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,160
the team total. McNee is the right side here, McNeese obviously,

497
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,640
I would say trigger and Rob, I'll throw this to you.

498
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,039
Just to look big picture, I don't think there has

499
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:29,359
been a team in the country over the last couple

500
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,279
of years that is so much better than the rest

501
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:35,480
of the pack in their respective conference than McNeice in

502
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:38,160
the south Land mcneae like, can you like, is there

503
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,680
even a comparison to be made for McNeese relative to

504
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,839
the rest of the Southland. I don't think there is

505
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,640
nashally where there's just one team that is clearly the

506
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:52,039
class of the conference and has been now for you know,

507
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,720
three year, three or so years.

508
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, over a long period of time. For this year individual,

509
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:59,720
I think incarnate word makes the case right in CARNI

510
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,160
beat them and maybe those two and for what it's worth, guys,

511
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,079
and I'll have to see more. But Houston Christians somewhat impressive.

512
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,079
I don't know if they're on that level with Incarnate

513
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,039
Word and McNeese. Adam has described to us the personnel

514
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:17,440
for Incarnate Word and then they went out and won

515
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,279
that game. Let's speak to the total here, Brian, that

516
00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:22,880
you were talking about and that the question was asked about.

517
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,319
I look pretty good at this game. If I wasn't

518
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:32,400
so chicken about laying high numbers, I would be on McNeese.

519
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,599
But I don't want to lay nineteen with McNeese because

520
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:38,039
they're defensive oriented team. And to the point of the

521
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,240
question whether they get to eighty or not is it's

522
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,359
like a fifty to fifty proposition in my mind. If

523
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,640
in fact, I was to pick a team total, I'd

524
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,240
almost prefer to play East Texas A and M under

525
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,880
their number because McNeese is probably going to dominate them defensively.

526
00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:02,039
That the opposing score results against McNeice this year have

527
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,839
been extremely low for the most part, and when they

528
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,799
get into a game like this where they can overwhelm

529
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,880
the opponent, Brian you talked about made a good point

530
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,480
about their ability to force turnovers and the other side's

531
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,480
ability to not take care of the basketball, and that's

532
00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:22,039
just gonna eat away at possessions from East Texas A

533
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,559
and M. They did play Yukon. Yukon held them under

534
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:28,960
sixty points without really trying in that game. Kind of

535
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,559
a weird spot for East Texas A and M. But

536
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,240
McNeice in conference action will honestly be trying to limit

537
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,440
them to under sixty. So I think my first look

538
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,680
here would be East Texas A and m's team total

539
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,279
under and if you're gonna go that route, honestly, I

540
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,839
don't know how it gets to one forty one. The

541
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,480
better play could be under one forty one as a

542
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,880
full game total. It's taken some money, a shade of

543
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,039
money toward the over. Not sure I understand why people

544
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,240
must think that McNeice is going to get up in

545
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:04,400
above eighty, which is a possibility. So again i'll leave

546
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,400
you with those two options. I think in East Texas

547
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,160
A and M not to get to sixty one points.

548
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,640
I think sixty or less is probably what they're ticketing

549
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,519
for here tonight. And then be if you choose maybe

550
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:15,880
full game total under.

551
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

552
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's ever a I don't

553
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:23,640
think there's gonna be a scenario where I click this

554
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,759
at any point today. But I do kind of lean

555
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,240
the dog for a couple of reasons. So you know,

556
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:32,559
my number came out where this opened eighteen and a half,

557
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,000
you're up to twenty and a half some places, So

558
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,720
like that took you know, that's not like insane value,

559
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,440
right because obviously the bigger the spread, the less the

560
00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:44,400
less those like points I guess are worth a little bit.

561
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,200
You know, obviously, like two to four much bigger, much

562
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,119
bigger difference than eighteen and a half up to like twenty.

563
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,759
Speaker 2: Or twenty and a half.

564
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: But I will point out from a scheduling standpoint, they

565
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,119
went up and played that game in Kingston, Rhode Island

566
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,599
earlier this week, and they go to Houston Christian on Monday,

567
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,160
so they're kind of back home.

568
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like, you know, Houston Christian is.

569
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't think is like McNeice is like necessarily looking

570
00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:12,960
ahead to that game. I'm sure they think they're going

571
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,799
to just smash them too, but you know, a little

572
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:18,359
bit of travel coming back home. Having to hit back

573
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,319
on the road is not I think ideal. East Texas

574
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,759
A and M, Like they don't really have anyone good

575
00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:27,559
on their team, but they play a lot of guys,

576
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:31,039
so it's like they do play like ten guys. Watch

577
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:32,920
them play Army earlier this year, was actually on the

578
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,839
right side of that game.

579
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,319
Speaker 2: Cashed with East Texas A and M.

580
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:37,839
Speaker 1: In their game against Army, felt like they were the

581
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,119
superior team the whole time, and they just kind of

582
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,480
kept subbing in waves of guys kind of tired of

583
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:42,920
them out.

584
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: The reason I say that is they'll probably do that here.

585
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: So if you're looking at like them playing the full

586
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,319
forty minutes, like they're not going to get into a

587
00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:53,640
scenario where they're tired and they get like run out

588
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,000
at the end.

589
00:28:54,039 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: I almost think that this could be a game where maybe.

590
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: It's maybe it's like mcneice's first half, because then you like,

591
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,000
you know, you get up to these twenty point spreads,

592
00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:04,119
and let's say McNeese gets up twenty two to twenty three,

593
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,839
but East Texas A and M is still playing hard

594
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,319
at the end, they could definitely get in and make

595
00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:10,720
it an eighteen point game. So I think if you

596
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:15,160
like the McNeese side, maybe you look first half. Twenty

597
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,720
and a half seems like a lot, especially especially knowing

598
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:21,680
McNeese has arguably a bigger conference game coming up. And

599
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:23,920
to your guys point, there's some good teams in the

600
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,440
Southland this year. We'll get we'll get by you on

601
00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:29,440
to talk Southland basketball at some point, but don't sleep

602
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,480
on Steven F. Austin, who I believe is seven and

603
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:35,599
two and also back in the Southland. I think this

604
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,240
is their second year back from the whack. So so yeah,

605
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:43,319
interesting game, tough one in my opinion, but we have

606
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,319
the time today.

607
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:47,519
Speaker 2: There's only eight games, so we're gonna we'll do.

608
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: The deep dive into East Texas A and m McNee state.

609
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,559
If that's what you guys, guys want to talk about, Rob,

610
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:55,920
I'm gonna go to you because this is right in

611
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
your wheelhouse. You and I talked about this game for

612
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,599
a minute yesterday. How Baptist has been very, very impressive.

613
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,720
They're gonna hit the road tonight, stepping out of conference.

614
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:08,880
This is going to be although I think they might

615
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,519
be headed to this conference next year. Eastern Washington is

616
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,440
in the Big Sky. I believe that's where Baptist is

617
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,759
going once the Whack dissolves, which will be after this year,

618
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,000
so a conference game maybe next year.

619
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:23,759
Speaker 2: But up to Washington.

620
00:30:24,319 --> 00:30:26,319
Speaker 1: You kind of like this Eastern Washington team if I

621
00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:28,799
remember at one point in time earlier in the season.

622
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,359
Do you still feel the same way about the Eagles

623
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:32,440
and can they hang around here?

624
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,319
Speaker 4: Yeah? Their schedule early on, guys, was interesting. I know

625
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,200
we talked about them a lot because they were playing

626
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:41,720
high profile teams Ucla, Colorado, and they were hanging around

627
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,680
in these games, and I think, and sometimes first impressions

628
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,519
can be wrong, but they played UCLA that night, and boy,

629
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:50,039
they played UCLA tough, so I put that in my notes.

630
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:53,039
And then they come back against Loyola meror Mount and

631
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:57,279
I'm forgetting the kids name for Marymount, who was gonna

632
00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:00,759
play or not play, didn't end up playing and covered

633
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,839
by the hook in that game plus eight and a half,

634
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,920
lose by eight, go to Colorado, take them to overtime.

635
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,119
In a while, I thought I was off to the

636
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,680
races with something, but the road and the travel seemed

637
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,519
to get to them a little bit because Seattle buried them,

638
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,160
and then you start to rethink your position on a

639
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,519
team Central Arkansas buries them, and then I was really

640
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,920
rethinking my position. They finally got to their home floor

641
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,079
last game and did a really good job win that game. Big.

642
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,359
There's a couple of things here. This is a tremendous

643
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,839
contrast in style, right, cal Baptist defense and rebounding defense,

644
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:42,279
and rebounding defense and rebounding e WU not necessarily a

645
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:47,359
masterclass in defense and rebounding. But they score the basketball.

646
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:51,319
So you have one side that wants to set up

647
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:54,200
a half court defense and the other side that wants

648
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,680
to get to the open floor for when it's worth.

649
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Eastern Washington seven and one over the total games so

650
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:02,839
far this year, and it kind of flies in the

651
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:05,079
face of what I thought here. I kind of like

652
00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:09,240
the under even though Cal State is the is the

653
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:14,640
visiting side here. I just feel like they will have

654
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:18,920
the ability to, if not slow the game down, guys

655
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,839
in the sense of it's a crawl, but to get

656
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:25,440
it to moderate pace and to make Eastern Washington shots

657
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,759
selection maybe be off a little bit more difficult, et cetera,

658
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:32,440
et cetera, therefore making less buckets. And I don't know

659
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:38,440
that Bakersfield is gonna take is gonna take Baptist. Excuse me,

660
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:41,839
Baptist's gonna take advantage of what aw you can't do.

661
00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:47,640
Baptist is a great offensive team, but they will grind

662
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,000
you down and they will get second chance buckets. I

663
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:55,240
think they're the better team. I still think I would

664
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,680
lean under here, guys. One fifty two and a half

665
00:32:57,759 --> 00:32:59,640
is available out there, and it just see, it's hard

666
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,119
for me to think that in oddsmaker's terms. Right now

667
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
we're looking at there, they're telling us it's a seventy

668
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720
nine to seventy four game to get to the over

669
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:11,799
or in that vicinity. Just don't know that I see

670
00:33:11,839 --> 00:33:13,440
it that way. So for me, it would probably be

671
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,119
a lean toward the under. I'll give you Stone Washington

672
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,880
their credit for playing real tough against better opponents early

673
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,279
on and being home now. But I just I like,

674
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,559
I like cal Baptist. The old dad in defense travels,

675
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,400
glasswork travels. I think this game stays under.

676
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:32,079
Speaker 2: Well.

677
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: I'm glad rob Veno said that, really glad rob Veno

678
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:39,559
said that because my leg of the parlay, to the

679
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,960
chagrin of the chat, I guess is the under on

680
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,119
cal Baptist Eastern Washington. I played this and I played

681
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680
it at a bad number, guys, So I played it

682
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:52,000
one fifty one. As a matter of fact this morning,

683
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,680
this is a client play for me, Rob. I'll just

684
00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:57,799
kind of give you, you know, just quick follow up.

685
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,759
You know, the first thing that's jumped out jump out

686
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:02,839
to you guys about cal Baptist. They're an underteam. Seven

687
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,640
other nine games or seven other games that stayed low

688
00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:08,400
this year. Last one did not ninety one eighty five

689
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,599
at Utah, but from shooting there that I just don't

690
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,320
think is can get replicated in this game. Now Eastern Washington, obviously,

691
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,719
Rob alluded what a different team. They are a six

692
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,079
straight game for three one opponents have gone over vast

693
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:22,960
majority of those games came away from home. Here's the

694
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,880
thing though, that stuck out to me. They were back

695
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,519
home last week and they turned in one of their

696
00:34:26,519 --> 00:34:29,280
better defensive performances of the season. They helped Kansas City

697
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,360
to only sixty six points three of twelve from three.

698
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:36,119
Kansas City wasn't that game. Anytime you hold your opponent

699
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,280
through three of twelve three point shooting, you're probably in

700
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,840
good shape. In Eastern Washington was They are now two

701
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,079
and Oho straight up in Cheney, oh to seven straight

702
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:49,719
up away from home. But again my interest is with

703
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,360
the total two of Eastern Washingtonton's games guys so far

704
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,440
this season did go to overtime. One of those, the

705
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,400
one against North Texas, would not have gone over without

706
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,440
the additional five minutes. I know the Eagles are bad

707
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,800
at defending the three, even after the game against Kansas City,

708
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,760
but cal Baptist doesn't shoot. I don't think as a

709
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,159
team that takes advantage of that rob hit on this

710
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,280
cal Baptists they only shoot thirty one percent from three.

711
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:18,920
They don't take a ton of attempts from three, and

712
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,199
you know, cal Baptists off, you know, one of its

713
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,239
higher scoring performances of the season. I just think there's

714
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,840
value on the under here. I don't see the Lancers

715
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,519
shooting the ball that well in what is their fifth

716
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,880
consecutive true road game. So I'm gonna go under even

717
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,760
you know, I again I took it at a bad number.

718
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,199
I like it even more at one fifty two and

719
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:38,559
a half.

720
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:42,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree with that.

721
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: I'll point out so from a from a pace standpoint,

722
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,440
they're like really middle of the pack. NCA probably like

723
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,400
kind of close to like maybe two hundredth an adjusted

724
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,000
tempo on Kem Kevin Palm.

725
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 2: I think they gave me one ninety eight.

726
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: But they very much play the way Dominic Daniels wants

727
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:00,840
to play. Like, so if you're if you're talking cal Baptist,

728
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,440
like the way Daniels is gonna play is going to

729
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,280
dictate how cal Baptists plays.

730
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 2: He took twenty eight shots against Utah.

731
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's a freak, like he's he's probably the

732
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,360
best player in the WHAC Conference.

733
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 2: And they actually suspended him. Well, I think he was.

734
00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:17,719
I think he broke a team rule ahead of the

735
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,840
San Diego game. He did not play in that game.

736
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:22,199
Speaker 1: But like the reason I bring that up, I mean,

737
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,679
he plays forty minutes every game, and so you talk

738
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,360
about cal Baptist, I mean this guy played forty minutes

739
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,440
against Oregon State, forty minutes at altitude against Colorado, thirty

740
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,559
one minutes against BYU.

741
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: They took him out at the end because they.

742
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,519
Speaker 1: Were getting killed, and then forty minutes against Utah last

743
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:40,360
time out twenty eight shots. So like I almost could

744
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,960
see if especially if they have either a lead or

745
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,719
like I mean, he he has to be.

746
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:46,679
Speaker 2: Exhausted at this point.

747
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: I know they've had a couple of days off, but

748
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,480
you talked about you look at cal Baptists schedule. They've

749
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:58,239
gone from Corvallis to Boulder, out to Provo, probably stayed

750
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,320
for a couple of days, played Utah back home. Now

751
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,199
they kind of got to go up to up to

752
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,559
Washington before they actually get to play a couple of

753
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:09,079
home games. Like just with like the fact that their

754
00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:13,639
starters might be a little bit tired. Forty shots or

755
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,440
i'm sorry, forty minutes every game, twenty eight shot attempts.

756
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,360
The thing I noticed the last couple of years, Daniels

757
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,000
has been hurt at times when he is taken off

758
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:25,480
of that floor or when he is not his best

759
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:28,000
cow Baptist is not very good, Like there is a

760
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:32,239
stark difference between Baptist with him on the floor Baptist

761
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,119
with him off the floor.

762
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe he's just a machine.

763
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: But if he's like a little bit tired and he is, like,

764
00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:40,559
I feel like it's going to mean he slows the

765
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:43,079
game down a little bit and he's gonna take everyone

766
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:45,719
with him, because everyone on that team plays the way

767
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,119
he wants to play, which would probably lend itself to

768
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,239
being an under especially. Hey, if this is a close game.

769
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,159
My number on this was like three point three, right

770
00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:56,440
in line with wear it opened. So I hope you

771
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,079
I hope we get your under VP. I think it

772
00:37:58,119 --> 00:37:59,239
could be a tight game, and.

773
00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:01,159
Speaker 3: I hope Toby, Yeah, I like the favor. I mean,

774
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:03,400
I don't know cal Baptist under its team total too.

775
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:05,559
I think, you know, I mean, if if I don't

776
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:07,320
think the fan, I don't think cal Baptist is a

777
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,639
team that can take advantage of Eastern Washington's up defensive

778
00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:13,920
frailties for lack of a better term, at least, and the.

779
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,599
Speaker 4: Teams that did bride were really good teams. I mean

780
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:22,039
Eastern Washington. You know it's hard to take we say

781
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:27,480
this off in overall statistics, as you know, set in

782
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:30,199
Stone at this time of year, because of the strength

783
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,559
of schedule, Eastern Washing plays some really good teams that

784
00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:34,960
haven't just made the point. Cal Baptist comes off of

785
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,400
playing a rocky mountain triangle. Some of these games skew

786
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,559
your statistics so bad. But I think to the point

787
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:44,599
of your total play and the reason why I think

788
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:48,840
the same way is the style of that what they're

789
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,679
good at does travel. Defensive rebounding will travel with six

790
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,679
days off. If the shooting is off by Daniels, even

791
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,079
if he's going quick and the shooting is off because

792
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:02,519
he's tired from being in altitude for three straight games

793
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,800
that game. So we'll see what happens here. But I I,

794
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000
you know, I'm with you on that play.

795
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,519
Speaker 2: And he'll chuck it.

796
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:13,119
Speaker 1: If if Eastern Washington can force them to shoot threes,

797
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,880
it'll go under two because Daniel's only twenty six percent

798
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,000
from beyond the arc and the other guy that takes

799
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,400
so it's essentially two guys take all of cal Baptist shots.

800
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,159
Speaker 2: It's Daniels and it's Martel Williams. Neither are like great.

801
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: Three point shooting great three point shooters twenty six percent

802
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,599
for Daniels, thirty four point two percent for Williams. So

803
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,800
like Daniels is gonna be at his best when he

804
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,440
can just take you off the dribble, get to the rim,

805
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:38,079
because that's what he does is, you know, get in

806
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:40,320
the mid range. But if they can force a couple

807
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,000
outside shots, that's your your ticket to keeping cal Baptist

808
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,159
is probably under here and I you know, they're they're

809
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:47,639
gonna have a game plant. That's what they're gonna game

810
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:50,320
plan for. Like they've had a few days to prepare.

811
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,199
They're going to probably try to make someone other than

812
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,840
Daniels beat them, whereas the last couple of teams Cal

813
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,840
Baptist has played have not needed to do that because

814
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,679
they've been far superior teams Like I'm sure BYU and

815
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,679
Utah are like, yeah, go ahead, take twenty eight shots.

816
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: We're still going to win by thirty. There you go. VP,

817
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,199
I gotta bring you in for this one.

818
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: On all a couple days ago, maybe last week, you

819
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,079
were all ready to give us this great breakdown on

820
00:40:16,199 --> 00:40:19,519
South Carolina State and their game got canceled. Uh oh,

821
00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:23,960
it's potentially could have potentially been their.

822
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 3: First win, could have been one of the worst college

823
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,559
basketball games ever played in the history of Mancott. Too.

824
00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:32,599
Speaker 1: They were supposed to play at Chicago State. They they

825
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:35,559
ended up not traveling because of weather. Now the oh

826
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:40,199
to ten South Carolina State Bulldogs head to Charlotte tonight

827
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,000
to play Queen's University or Queen's College.

828
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:47,599
Speaker 3: I believe it is college. Yes, it's Queens. No, it's university,

829
00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:49,239
it's university. Pardon me, it's university.

830
00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: No, there is a Queen's University, but it's somewhere else.

831
00:40:52,039 --> 00:40:54,519
I do know that, so I think it's whatever. It's

832
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:56,599
the one in Charlotte that's in the A Sun.

833
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,199
Speaker 2: I believe. I think they're in the A Sun anyway.

834
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Uh big spread suggests that they're not getting their first

835
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:04,440
win tonight, that the likely the O and eleven.

836
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: But the chat would like to know what do you

837
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,039
make of this game?

838
00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:11,639
Speaker 1: And bayou Bett says his play of the day and

839
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:13,679
we got to at least pointed out since he came

840
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,480
and brought a winner yesterday. He likes the Queen's team

841
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:20,400
total over eighty seven and a half.

842
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,599
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, BP, Yeah, I mean they're not covering the spread.

843
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:24,280
I don't think without going over that number. It's a

844
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,519
high team total. But I mean, you know it's a

845
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:30,159
high school look, you know, I remember watching forgot. I

846
00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:32,840
think it was Queen's first year back in d one trick.

847
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,320
I remember watching on ESPN. Was I with you, was

848
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,159
with another buddy in I was at a bar watching

849
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,440
Queen's College the last two minutes because I had the

850
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,800
total and I was watching on my phone and I

851
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,840
was thinking, what has my life come to that I'm

852
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,800
watching Queens and I remember the gym. It looked like

853
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,280
my high school gym. They showed somebody on the telecast

854
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,000
just walking out of the gym into the hallway, and

855
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,880
I remember laughing. That's my first thought. Whenever anyone brings

856
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,519
up Queens, I would co sign the Queens to bring

857
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,920
it back to reality here, to bring it back to

858
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,760
the discussion, hey, and bring it back to the athletes,

859
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,880
I would go, I would co sign the Queen's team

860
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,840
total South Carolina State. What I mean at this point

861
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:14,599
we talk about we've used the term road weary. Well,

862
00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:18,159
you know so far, you know, I mean, what do

863
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,719
they have left in the tank here? I mean, at

864
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,960
this point, you're making a cross country trip. Okay, I

865
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,679
guess you know, you just don't want to give it up.

866
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,280
You just don't. I mean, if you're gonna make the trip,

867
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,960
you want to make it. But I just I think

868
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,079
the tank eventually trig. Look, I'm forty five years old.

869
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:35,920
Sometimes I wake up in the morning the tank says he,

870
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,199
and I think the tank says he Here for South

871
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,239
Carolina State.

872
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,039
Speaker 4: I mean, what to that?

873
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point you just have to be saying,

874
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,360
you know what conference plays right around the corner. Let's

875
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,280
just take the paycheck and you know, and the good

876
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,480
news is if you like the favorite or the team

877
00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:55,800
total over what you're relying on. I think rob is

878
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,639
South Carolina State just sort of throwing in the towel

879
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,760
defensively the second half, and that is a scenario, So

880
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,360
I would say scenario that I could envision.

881
00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 4: Guys, let me hop in here because I'll go ahead

882
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,119
and round out our parlay here, and I want to

883
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:18,679
thank Keith. You were here Brian yesterday, but we did

884
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,559
ask Keith to fill in and give us the third

885
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:25,679
leg of a parlay, and he promptly hops on what

886
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,599
I had used as a client player. So of course

887
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:30,239
I had to close sign on keys play the Virginia

888
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,159
Tech game over last night rolls. So congrats Keith on

889
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:36,440
that one. I'm gonna go a team total here. Here's

890
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,280
the team that we started to talk about. We've talked

891
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,159
about all season long, but we started to talk about

892
00:43:40,199 --> 00:43:43,360
in a more positive manner last time out against Cincinnati

893
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,360
and Ed Xavier and I play Xavier's team total here, guys,

894
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:50,360
it's eighty two and a half playing Kwanzo Martin's Missouri

895
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,599
State team. For what it's worth, Xavier has now exceeded

896
00:43:53,639 --> 00:43:56,960
their team total in six straight games. Richard Patino seems

897
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,599
to have the team play, and they got seventy nine

898
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:02,159
against Cincinnati, which is really no easy feat to get

899
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:04,679
close to eighty against that side. But the numbers that

900
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:07,480
they've racked up during this six game tear ninety nine,

901
00:44:07,559 --> 00:44:11,039
seventy seven, seventy eight, eighty eight, ninety six, and seventy nine.

902
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:15,639
All of those seventies numbers were either on neutral floors

903
00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:19,480
against Let's face it, seventy eight against West Virginia is

904
00:44:19,559 --> 00:44:21,639
a pretty big deal knowing what we know about West

905
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:25,000
Virginia in their style. Right, seventy seven against Georgia, which

906
00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:27,360
is a real good team, although you would think that

907
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,800
that game would have been a little higher scoring seventy

908
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,880
nine against since he's so two of the three, we're

909
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:39,079
bordering on eighty against really good D one teams, not

910
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:44,199
Missouri State, which doesn't defend, which doesn't rebound, which doesn't shoot.

911
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:50,599
My reservation in this game was obviously being a Missouri

912
00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:53,880
Tiger guy and having lived through the Quanzo Martin years.

913
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,719
He boy, he wants to go like there on ether,

914
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,639
like the whole gymnasium is just they're all over the

915
00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:04,159
place slow, slower and slower. But the Xavier's going to

916
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:07,840
force him to go. And in some case, when you

917
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,239
get behind, when you're an underdog of this size and

918
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:12,960
you get behind and there's been a lot of money

919
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,679
towards Xavier, you have to run. At some point you

920
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,079
have to try to catch up. And when you try

921
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:20,920
to catch up, a team like this generally sees margin

922
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,559
extend against them. I don't know that, Patino. You know,

923
00:45:24,599 --> 00:45:28,039
I fell victim to this last night. Talked about it

924
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:30,559
a little bit, but just didn't convince myself that it

925
00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:33,239
could happen. With the Missouri Tigers team total over ninety

926
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,400
two and a half fifty two in the first half,

927
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:38,719
and at that point they kind of let off the gas.

928
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,760
Against Alabama State only scored thirty three in a second

929
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,840
half and did reach their team total. I'm not sure

930
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,639
Richard Patino's going to do that here. This is a

931
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:49,360
team that's still developing. He's still trying to get to

932
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,800
a stage where he wants them at Adams talked a

933
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,679
little bit about Mike White in the team building that

934
00:45:56,679 --> 00:45:58,719
he did with Georgia, and maybe Patino's going through the

935
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,880
same thing here. He's getting results at least offensively. He's

936
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,880
getting results, and in a wing column he's gotten some

937
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,599
results here. So for me, I think it's pretty easy.

938
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:08,159
It's like picking low hanging fruit.

939
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 2: Here.

940
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 4: To me, is your team total up and over eighty

941
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,159
one and a half. Adam, there's a number attached to

942
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:16,000
this of twenty five cents as I see. If you

943
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:20,239
guys see it higher, but I see eighty one and

944
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,480
a half minus twenty five.

945
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: Shout out to the ether reference there. Rob didn't think

946
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,119
we were going to get an ether reference on the show.

947
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,440
Y'all say that the quote hundred rest toms and there

948
00:46:31,519 --> 00:46:34,039
is nothing more irresponsible and to prave than a man

949
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:39,440
in the depths of an ether. Bitch, Yeah, what's it?

950
00:46:40,679 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: Richard Patito is an awesome coach. Like he.

951
00:46:44,639 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he was at all concerned about I mean,

952
00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:50,519
like he's literally his teams are playing awful against Lamoyne

953
00:46:50,519 --> 00:46:55,920
and he's on Twitter joking that like the he put

954
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,719
a tweet out he was like entertainment staff a plus

955
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,480
our defense.

956
00:46:59,639 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: F mind.

957
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: It's like he's just he's just keeping it light because

958
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,159
I know I think he knows that like where this

959
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:07,239
team's gonna be in February and March is going to

960
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,519
be much better than it is here. I don't think

961
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:12,920
he really expected. I think he'll be pleasantly surprised with

962
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:14,800
anything good that happens this year. Go back to his

963
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,960
first year at New Mexico, he finished tenth in the

964
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,840
Mountain West, and I think for Patino, like a lot

965
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,440
of these guys that get a job now right, like

966
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,039
it's like it's not that you need results in year one,

967
00:47:27,079 --> 00:47:29,239
but it's like if you don't, then like year, year

968
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,000
two and year three are a lot of pressure. So

969
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,039
I think they go hit the portal and they're like

970
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:35,119
I need to find like the guy. I need to

971
00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:36,599
find a guy that I'm going to be able to

972
00:47:36,679 --> 00:47:38,599
like he's just gonna go off and I can win

973
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,119
now with Whereas like someone like Richard Patino, like Xavier's

974
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:44,639
in it with him for the long haul. He's there's

975
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:46,639
nothing for him to worry about. He can build this

976
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:48,519
team he want the way he wants to build this team.

977
00:47:49,079 --> 00:47:50,960
He can bring his own guys in and he can

978
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,760
start like like a year zero. So it's like early on,

979
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,400
you have to take that, you have to like take

980
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,159
some of those results with a grain AsSalt, But like

981
00:47:58,199 --> 00:48:00,400
this is the type of team and especial actually in

982
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,360
the context of this year's Big East, which outside of

983
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,880
Connecticut and Saint John's I don't think is very good.

984
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,519
Like I think the Big East this year could be

985
00:48:07,559 --> 00:48:11,119
pretty bad outside of those top couple teams. Maybe maybe

986
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,280
Xavier is a team you buy a little bit just

987
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,079
because you know, Patino can get a team from point

988
00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:19,719
A to point B better than most, and maybe he

989
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,360
can do something with this group. So I'm kind of

990
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,199
like not fading Xavier right now. And I don't disagree

991
00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:31,119
with Rob's Look here, Steve Duke says, super stoked about

992
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:32,400
that cal Baptist debate.

993
00:48:32,519 --> 00:48:34,599
Speaker 2: Wasn't going to play that now it's locked in. Thanks

994
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:34,920
for that.

995
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, listen, I see the comments we get criticized

996
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,800
for not enough picks on this show. Listen, like this

997
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,960
is not that kind of show. Like we're here for

998
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,400
an hour to really give you info more than pigs,

999
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:49,480
except I have no self control. I just give out

1000
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:56,119
the picks too, and we we we all, yeah, exactly,

1001
00:48:57,039 --> 00:48:59,480
we also give out picks like every day, you're gonna

1002
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,880
get at least a couple with picks. And and you

1003
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,159
know if for those of you that didn't know this,

1004
00:49:04,599 --> 00:49:07,400
the three of us literally work for a pick selling

1005
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,960
site and we don't get anything.

1006
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: They don't pay us to do this show. We do

1007
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,800
the show for free.

1008
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,159
Speaker 1: The only way we get compensated is if you come

1009
00:49:14,199 --> 00:49:17,000
over and buy the pick. So if you're looking for

1010
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:19,280
more picks, I promise you the three of us have them.

1011
00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:23,159
They are over at wager talk dot com. Every day.

1012
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,039
We've got something up every day. So if you're ever

1013
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:27,639
feeling like there's not enough picks, heading over to wager

1014
00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:30,480
talk dot com. There's great specials every single day and

1015
00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:31,559
then you'll get more picks.

1016
00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

1017
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:34,559
Speaker 4: We uh the.

1018
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: Other there's another comment. I'm gonna I'm in a mood today.

1019
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: I had I've already finished the rain energy drink, so

1020
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,760
I'm on one right now, uh three hundred milligrams of caffeine.

1021
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,360
And that won't be it. That won't be it for

1022
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,000
the day. I promise you, that won't be it for

1023
00:49:49,039 --> 00:49:50,920
the day. I'll be at the coffee shop down the

1024
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,679
street by one pm. Darryl Darryl Turners is rather rather

1025
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,800
bet your league or NBL Australian the met games, Like

1026
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,000
how that this in Eastern wo Washington? Come on, this

1027
00:50:02,079 --> 00:50:04,039
is not the show for you, like we're this is

1028
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:07,920
like we're going in uh to games and then this

1029
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,159
is not the day for you either, like this slate didn't.

1030
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,079
Speaker 2: There's eight games, there's one Marquee game. We broke that

1031
00:50:14,159 --> 00:50:14,960
down at the beginning.

1032
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,119
Speaker 1: So if you ever miss a game, feel free to

1033
00:50:18,159 --> 00:50:20,599
go over to the wager Talk YouTube channel and watch

1034
00:50:20,639 --> 00:50:21,199
the replay.

1035
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: Drop the comments.

1036
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: You can tell me how awful I start to the

1037
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,880
college basketball season has been. I'm well aware, doing my

1038
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,079
best to turn it around, and I will turn it around.

1039
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:30,800
But if you want to go say that there, it

1040
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,440
helps the algorithm, So by all means, have that in

1041
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,039
the comments.

1042
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 2: Give us a like while you're over there. I learned

1043
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,320
the other day Brian Powers, like you know there is

1044
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,119
a dislike button, Drake. I didn't even realize that.

1045
00:50:41,159 --> 00:50:43,679
Speaker 1: I suppose you could give a dislike, but I really

1046
00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:46,320
hope you give a like. And because it's that kind

1047
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,119
of show boys, we got to talk about Maryland Eastern

1048
00:50:49,159 --> 00:50:51,519
Shore An NCAA.

1049
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, if nobody's slandered Yukon Joey Cheese

1050
00:50:56,079 --> 00:50:57,320
in the chat, who is Waltz does?

1051
00:50:57,519 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's late?

1052
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 3: All I said is they've covered the spread in three

1053
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,199
games this year, which is not slander. It's simply a fact.

1054
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, no one's no one's say. Actually, Rob

1055
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,559
was like Joey Jesus right, I think said, let me.

1056
00:51:10,599 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 4: Just say that as long as I'm part of this panel,

1057
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,039
you could be self as sure Joey Cheese that there'll

1058
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:18,440
be no Yukon slander on this show as long as

1059
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,320
I'm part of the panel.

1060
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeahs Rob, Rob Venos a Connecticut guy through and through

1061
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,119
uh University of New Haven Charger. We found out on

1062
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:29,960
one of the first shows we did here, one of

1063
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:30,960
your stops, right.

1064
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:34,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was a sacred Heart pioneer for about

1065
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:35,800
as well.

1066
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,599
Speaker 1: So the pit center they just redid that. They just

1067
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:40,880
redid the pit Center last year. It's beautiful. I went,

1068
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:47,280
awesome though, that beautiful. Yeah yeah, so uh yeah. Cheese

1069
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,320
is from the Hartford area, and that that is the

1070
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,119
point that is where that game is tonight.

1071
00:51:52,119 --> 00:51:54,079
Speaker 2: I believe that's at Xcel, not at stores.

1072
00:51:55,039 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it really matters much on this particular game,

1073
00:51:58,039 --> 00:52:01,559
but but we were we gotta we got to hit

1074
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:04,119
all eight games on a day like this. So really quickly,

1075
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,800
let's talk about n c A and Team Maryland Eastern

1076
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,519
Shore the Corbette Sports Center. I've been to this building

1077
00:52:12,519 --> 00:52:15,199
down in Greensboro, North Carolina. I'll tell you what they

1078
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:17,559
get a great crowd like this is. This is a

1079
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:19,679
building like NC A and T. It doesn't matter how

1080
00:52:19,679 --> 00:52:22,519
bad they are. Uh, they always have fans like they have.

1081
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:26,840
They have passionate basketball fans at that school. It unfortunately

1082
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,360
football because they they wanted to move to the to

1083
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,800
the Coastal, has killed killed it for them a little bit.

1084
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,239
Like they're they're struggling to compete in the Coastal because

1085
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,000
of resources. But when they were in like the MEAC,

1086
00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:42,000
they were winning that league all the time. Uh, they

1087
00:52:42,079 --> 00:52:45,039
love their basketball there there. They always have a good crowd.

1088
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:47,079
So this is a place where I'm always gonna give

1089
00:52:47,079 --> 00:52:50,000
a home court bump. I do believe they were missing

1090
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,639
a couple guys for the Howard game, which was their

1091
00:52:52,679 --> 00:52:55,280
most recent game. So that's something if you're trying to

1092
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,639
bet Maryland Eastern Shore A and T tonight, That's what

1093
00:52:59,679 --> 00:53:01,719
I would I would just make sure try to make

1094
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,079
sure that they've got their their full complement of players.

1095
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,199
But I'm looking through right now, it looks like most

1096
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,760
of them play. And if everyone's going to play for

1097
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,480
this team, I think I would lean towards the following

1098
00:53:11,519 --> 00:53:14,119
team here. I just think they're I think Maryland Eastern

1099
00:53:14,119 --> 00:53:17,880
Shores is down there in the South Carolina state depths

1100
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,000
of not being very good. I couldn't bet them, I guess,

1101
00:53:21,079 --> 00:53:23,079
is what I was. What I'm saying, anyone any have

1102
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:23,800
any thoughts?

1103
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,519
Speaker 2: A and T. Maryland Eastern Shore.

1104
00:53:27,199 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 3: Jesus's total is low and it keeps getting lower. I mean,

1105
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:32,840
if you're going to bet the under on this game,

1106
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,079
I would say, just do something else from seven to

1107
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:36,880
nine and check the funnels, because that would be miserable.

1108
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,679
I mean, I gave out a prop on the Thursday

1109
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,079
at football game last night, Bucky Irving under sixteen and

1110
00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:44,440
a half rushing ATTEMT. I don't think I'm going to

1111
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,320
give out another under rushing attempts prop again, because it's

1112
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,679
a miserable, miserable view. You're just like, please don't give

1113
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,280
this man the ball. Every time you're an offense, you're

1114
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,559
like just pass, please pass, don't give them the ball.

1115
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,360
So I don't know, Rob, I'll kick at you. I

1116
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,280
mean that is a look. It's a low toe for

1117
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,880
a reason. But I mean I see as low as

1118
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,880
one twenty seven and a half. That's obstinutely love.

1119
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and guys, in all honesty, it's hard to give

1120
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,280
a thorough handicap of that style game. I mean, whichever

1121
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,519
side you play, if you lose, you rip your hair

1122
00:54:17,559 --> 00:54:21,800
out for even playing that game under Like you said,

1123
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,360
right in modern college basketball one twenty eight and a half,

1124
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,760
I don't know the Virginia Cavaliers over the years, Wisconsin

1125
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,440
Badgers over the years, maybe we could get there. But

1126
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,440
two teams like this, I like to use the phrase

1127
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,280
that you can in this instance, you can get to

1128
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,559
one twenty nine by mistake. Maybe they do. I can't

1129
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:45,440
play that thing under unders almost against my religion anyway,

1130
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,360
but in this instance I really couldn't play under at

1131
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:49,039
that first.

1132
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: Tyme one thing, very very quick.

1133
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: This was a team that had Landing glassper and a

1134
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,840
couple guys last year that ended up getting in trouble

1135
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,760
for point shaving. But they also took like all the shots.

1136
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,119
So this is a much worse offensive team, but it's

1137
00:55:03,159 --> 00:55:06,639
probably a better team overall. Lorion Walker was the guy

1138
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:09,679
that I had in mind. He actually returned two games

1139
00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:11,760
ago sixteen point six points a game. It looks like

1140
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,880
A and T is healthy. I wouldn't play against them here.

1141
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,320
I don't know if I really want to lay seven,

1142
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,159
but I wouldn't play against them here.

1143
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: BP.

1144
00:55:19,159 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: Did you have something to say this Joey Cheese tho,

1145
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,440
what a wild card he is? Rob He followed you

1146
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,320
on Twitter and he's mad he didn't get a follow back.

1147
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:30,679
What have we come to?

1148
00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:33,519
Speaker 4: Well, give me a minute. I don't even put the

1149
00:55:33,559 --> 00:55:35,679
comments on when I'm doing the show, guys, because I

1150
00:55:35,679 --> 00:55:38,599
get too distracted going back and forth. I do want

1151
00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:40,840
to point this out real quick because I know there's

1152
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,960
going to come a point here within the next four

1153
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:45,960
where we re kept a parlay. The DABA team total

1154
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,920
Guys has now bumped up a full point to eighty

1155
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,639
three and a half minus fourteen cents as a consensus number,

1156
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,239
so there's action on that side. I'm glad that I

1157
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,320
had gotten that out to clients at eighty two and

1158
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,000
a half, but it is up to eighty three and

1159
00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:06,079
a half a now money expecting Richard Patino's team to

1160
00:56:06,119 --> 00:56:08,320
get over this hurdle. So let's hope he does.

1161
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:13,119
Speaker 1: EP I'll give you the floor for a second before

1162
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:15,559
we recap the parlay. I'm gonna actually calculate it.

1163
00:56:15,639 --> 00:56:16,159
Speaker 2: I know you have.

1164
00:56:16,199 --> 00:56:20,119
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so guys, just stay programming. Note moving forward

1165
00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:22,679
here at Full Court Press. Unfortunately, today is going to

1166
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,000
be my last show on Full Court Press. As you will,

1167
00:56:26,039 --> 00:56:29,199
I am not going anywhere. I just will not be here.

1168
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,880
I will be still all over the wager Talk YouTube channel.

1169
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,920
You can find me in a multitude of places, but

1170
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:40,199
this will be actually my last show here a little

1171
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:45,360
busy during bowl season. Perhaps after football concludes, there could

1172
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,440
be a reunion of sorts, but for the time being,

1173
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,119
this will be my last show that It's been great

1174
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,119
obviously to work with Trig and Rob all these times.

1175
00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:55,280
Hopefully you've learned something about college basketball. I know I've

1176
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,519
learned a lot from these two, and so there you go.

1177
00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:01,400
It will this will be my last show. Thank you

1178
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,320
guys so much. It's been a lot of fun. And

1179
00:57:03,519 --> 00:57:05,159
uh I did you Adode?

1180
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,559
Speaker 2: You know it won't be your last shot? Well, you'll

1181
00:57:08,599 --> 00:57:09,760
probably fill in at some point.

1182
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,039
Speaker 1: You'll you'll see VP from time to time, but you're

1183
00:57:12,039 --> 00:57:15,920
gonna see him plenty on the the plethora of Bowl

1184
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,639
coverage that will have over the next couple of weeks.

1185
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,960
Matt Winnick, I know you guys liked him. He did

1186
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,639
a couple of shows with us over Thanksgiving. He'll be

1187
00:57:24,719 --> 00:57:27,039
back from time to time, and you'll have Rob and

1188
00:57:27,119 --> 00:57:29,559
I here. Honestly, when it's when it's two of us

1189
00:57:29,559 --> 00:57:32,039
and it's a bigger slate, we usually get to a

1190
00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:34,119
few more games. So I know that some people will

1191
00:57:34,159 --> 00:57:37,800
will that just want us to rattle off picks in

1192
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,960
every game will be thrilled about that.

1193
00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 4: But uh but.

1194
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can catch BP doing like a lot of

1195
00:57:43,199 --> 00:57:45,599
football coverage and uh now he's got some time to

1196
00:57:45,639 --> 00:57:45,880
do that.

1197
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,719
Speaker 2: The Hey, the chat for the most part is sad BP.

1198
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,119
So that's good Grady.

1199
00:57:50,159 --> 00:57:53,039
Speaker 3: But that's okay, Chris Brady, you're not getting the Christmas.

1200
00:57:53,079 --> 00:57:55,039
Speaker 2: He's like the hell lot. He's like, you guys all suck,

1201
00:57:55,360 --> 00:58:00,880
But yeah you're watching, you know, go go.

1202
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 4: Figure you suck, but make more picks.

1203
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I promise you'd be Well, we'll be here

1204
00:58:09,559 --> 00:58:11,599
five days a week, whether you think we suck or not.

1205
00:58:12,519 --> 00:58:14,559
Speaker 2: And listen like the a lot of the info we

1206
00:58:14,639 --> 00:58:15,599
give out is accurate.

1207
00:58:15,639 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: I definitely think that this show is probably geared toward

1208
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,480
people doing their own handicapping, because you're getting a lot

1209
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,199
of info here whether you and it's all free, doesn't

1210
00:58:24,239 --> 00:58:26,760
cost you anything to watch the YouTube stream. But again

1211
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,480
by all means, if you want to go support wagertalk

1212
00:58:29,519 --> 00:58:32,599
dot com, we also picked there. As far as the

1213
00:58:32,639 --> 00:58:35,599
parlay is concerned, I've tweaked the juice so so u

1214
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:38,239
NBC actually took some money as well. So I'm gonna

1215
00:58:38,239 --> 00:58:40,000
put that one in as a minus one twenty just

1216
00:58:40,039 --> 00:58:42,000
so you can at least get it down to six

1217
00:58:42,039 --> 00:58:44,400
and a half. But that's the nice thing about parlays

1218
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,599
is like if you have to alt line something or

1219
00:58:46,599 --> 00:58:49,079
buy a couple of points, you can because it's not

1220
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:52,960
really killing the overall sort of like you know what

1221
00:58:53,239 --> 00:58:55,960
your payout is going to be. So I did UNBC

1222
00:58:56,079 --> 00:58:58,519
minus six. I'll go minus six and a half for

1223
00:58:58,599 --> 00:59:02,280
the parlay minus one twenty. We've got cow Baptist Eastern

1224
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,039
Washington under one fifty two and a half for Brian Power,

1225
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,079
and then well for rob we'll go Xavier Team total

1226
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,480
over eighty three and a half for the parlay.

1227
00:59:10,519 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 2: Is that what it is right now?

1228
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:14,679
Speaker 4: Someone thinks we're smart.

1229
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 2: Someone thinks we're smart.

1230
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,119
Speaker 1: We spout off stuff on the show at moves like

1231
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:21,400
two seconds later, so someone must respect the opinion out there.

1232
00:59:21,639 --> 00:59:24,639
Speaker 2: But that is plus five fifty four.

1233
00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:27,639
Speaker 1: The parlay of the day is slightly negative right now,

1234
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:29,719
minus one point seventy eight units on the season.

1235
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:32,559
Speaker 2: But all it takes is one to get us back

1236
00:59:32,599 --> 00:59:34,360
in the plus. Hopefully that's what we're doing.

1237
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: I hope you guys all have a great weekend and

1238
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:38,320
we'll be back Monday morning.

1239
00:59:38,679 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 2: More full Court Press.

1240
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: Don't forget to go check out BP on all the

1241
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,039

1242

next couple of weeks.

1243
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: And on a show the Blitz, which he does.

1244
00:59:49,159 --> 00:59:51,639
Speaker 3: What's I and I'm going to be jumping on with

1245
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,599
Jove Niary, my good close personal friend Joe Niary here

coming up in just a minute.

1247
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,719
Speaker 1: So that show he has bet, he hasn't lost a

1248
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,280
bet since I don't think the hottest guy on the

1249
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,119
sun hotter than the sun.

1250
01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:10,800
