Speaker 1: All right, welcome in everybody. It is Friday. It is
time for full court press. Brian power back in the
middle of your screen to close out the week. And
you know, once again, college basketball does it to us.
Speaker 2: Probably a trillion games tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I haven't even like gotten through, like looking how many
games there are. Although I don't think it's a normal
Saturday because the finals. But this is like the norm,
which is a little bit annoying. Like, listen, it's Friday.
If you have a game schedule for Saturday, you could
play it on Friday, like you could, Like, there has
to be a way where we end up Friday nights
with more than eight games, and it just doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 2: But yet that that is where we're at.
Speaker 1: But there are eight games that we can talk about
and hopefully find some angles to win. Uh, Brian, I
saw the slate today. I knew Yukon Texas would be
our feature game. I dressed accordingly with my Yukon jacket
in my head. I'm like, if our buddy Joey Cheese
was here, He's like Yukon by double digits. But the
problem is now they don't cover more than double digits. Yeah,
so talking at Yukon Texas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really so. You know, our buddy Joey Cheese
is ah Yukon's the best team in the country or
you know in that discussion. They are in that discussion.
But the issue Trigger and Robins, they're not covering spreads.
I mean, you go by the closing number the other
night against Florida, they didn't cover that. So now you
know they're three and seven against the spread, and you
know what are the numbers they've covered. They were four
and a half point favorite against Illinois they covered. They
were two and a half point favorite at Kansas they
covered the other one.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: They were a gigantic favorite against UMass Lowell early in
the year thirty five and a half and won by
a billion.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But I gotta say this, I've I have consistently shown
value on these Yukon spreads on the other side, and
I ratings wise, I don't know about you guys, show
a little bit of value on the Texas Longhorns. Do
I feel great about it? Is it? Am I going
to bet that side?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I don't think I will. Maybe if it could. You
know the question you ask, if it gets up even higher, Well,
what am I missing here, right, because sometimes it's something
we've talked about here these first several weeks of the season,
is when these lines, you know, just start moving in
the direction that our power rankings disagree with. Is it
our you know? Sometimes it's our power ratings are wrong.
So I don't know the game for me where you
can my powerrting say Yukon should not be favored by
this many. That is the line in the sand. I
am drawing the definitive declarative statement. If you will, I
will make to open our discussion here on Texas versus Yukon.
Speaker 4: Right there we go, mind the sand drawn, I'll move
over to against. This is the only game where we
can really quote guys. Let's just give you a couple here, Adam.
We've said this before, but it's nice to hear Dan
Hurley say it. Here's Dan Hurley. The strength of our
team is our first nine guys. We've been preaching one
through nine depth at every single position. He says, it's
the most balanced team he's ever coached. Sean Miller, on
the other hand, is getting repetitive on us again. Look,
we have problems on defense. Unless we get better. Unless
me us as a staff solve some of these problems.
We're not going to be good enough. I can be
labeled as a Homers sometimes, but Joey Cheese, you're not wrong.
This probably is, you know, arguably one of the three
best teams in the country. I just the defensive disparity
between these two guys is huge. Yukon plays a ton
of defense from the you know, from outside the Ark
all the way to the rim. Texas struggling with teams.
Eighty eight they allowed to Virginia, got aviscerated by nineteen,
give up ninety seven to nd C State, give up
eighty seven to Arizona State. That's in their last four games,
three totals like that. Here, Yukon's listed at eighty and
a half. Not sure how they don't get there. This
is the last stepping stone before they hit conference season.
I believe Butler is next. This is probably a game
or Hurly on national television. Wants to have his team
in prime shape for the conference season. I'm going to
avoid trying to lay points here, but I'm going to
go with the matchup that probably screams the loudest, and
that's the Yukon offense, which comes from all over the
floor against the Texas defense, which you know, their head
coach tells you and the results tell you that they've
got serious issues. They're just not as deep Texas right now.
Wiltshire really good three point shooter. I have to play
Yukon over eighty and a half here, guys, team totally
focus on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want that.
Speaker 3: I think if you like the Yukon side, I think
that's maybe a better angle. I will also to that point,
here's what also would make me uneasy. Trigg and Rob
about the Texas side. As we were on here earlier
this week talking about not wanting to lay a big
number with Texas against Southern Granted they did just barely
cover that. But you know, to Rob's point about Yukon
team to over Texas foul, I think they had a
lot of fouls in that game. They were not able
to defend without fouling. That's not good when you're such
a superior opponent. I think they had what twenty three fouls?
I think I have it down here. Yeah, they committed
twenty three foules. That's terrible when you're a superior opponent. Now,
the other thing I wanted to add with Yukon, just
going back to our previous discussion with Florida, is I
was a little surprised that, you know, we thought they
could offset Florida on the boards, and they actually didn't.
They were not rebounded forty to twenty eight in that game.
That's again what kept Florida in it, similar to the
Duke game, was the glass. So but you know, I
expect you kind of have the you know, have the
rebounding edge here, so the team total over maybe you know,
hearing Rob say that, kind of what's my whistle so
to speak.
Speaker 1: I mean, plenty of opportunity for rebounds if you're Florida.
When Zavi and Lee can't make a shot. Believe he
was five.
Speaker 2: Fourteen in that game, and yeah they hung around there.
Listen if you had.
Speaker 1: I mean, it came down to free throws for the
I believe the cover in that game, So it could
have gone either way. I think I kind of where
I'm at on this one. My number surprisingly came out
very close to what the number is right now. I
make Yukon, I think fourteen point like three or something
like that. So fourteen, we'll call it fourteen and a half.
It's up to fifteen. I saw someone in there say
fifteen and a half. Maybe there maybe there is a
fifteen and a half out there somewhere. You know, I
don't know that this goes high enough where I'm going
to be tempted to take Texas. I'd be really surprised
if it goes much further. Like fifteen and a half
feels like the peak to me. I think someone will
come in and buy back at fifteen and a half.
So you're probably looking at the fourteen and a half
to fifteen and a half range to bet this game.
Rob you talked about Texas going into the Southern game
and Miller sort of wanting to make a statement, and
you know, like Brian said, like that's that's the type
of team you can kind of make a statement against,
even if you're like not, you know, even if you're
not an elite team right Southern at home, we've seen
some of these, you know, swack teams struggle on the
road now that it's December. So for me, like, I'm
not putting too much stock into that. Volcatitis is obviously Texas,
that's their sort of path. I think playing through him
it has been their their best that's the best way
that they can. I'll go back to the NC State
game where he was able to get very close to
the hoop deep on NC State and they really couldn't
handle that, like Yukon's can be able to handle that.
Speaker 2: Yukon's got an answer.
Speaker 1: So again, I just don't know that I want to
fade Yukon at home in this spot. We know Hurley
likes to make statements and kind of feels like a
spot where he could make one.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they.
Speaker 4: Follow personalities too, guys that Hurley against Sean Miller. I
don't know anything about their history. I almost had a
good mind to ask Chet GPT or whatever this morning
AI if Sean Miller and Dan Hurley even like each other,
just so I could add an angle to this game.
But Brian, to the point of Florida doing the job
on the boards, I think what hindered you kind of
that game too? Terras Reid four files only twenty four minutes.
You kind of was down to one big man against
Florida's four and when he had to ride the pines
day were I mean, Florida was doing some offensive glass
work in that game and defensive glass. So if Terry
Speed can avoid foul trouble here, always a big hit.
But if he does, they just outnumber Texas in the
big department. They really do. A Caravan I don't even
you know, we don't consider him a big when we're
speaking at the Ukon of centers, but Caravan works on
the glass as well, so it will see. I just
think you kind of has too much firepower here and
too much defense. They'll turn defense into offense in this game,
for sure.
Speaker 3: Joey Cheese, Yeah, I will not Texas. You know, people
perhaps in the chatter watching this on the replay, remember
you can comment, you know, on the re if you're
not catching this live, you can still comment down below
and we'll trying to respond. But Texas is I think
top ten and defensive, defensive rebound percentage rob But you
look at the opponents, right sometimes you still we're still
at the part of the year where you've got a
factor in opponents and you look at who they've played.
Maybe that's not that surprise. I mean, Yukon by far
will be the best front court Texas's face this year.
So you know when we said earlier you conched at
the edge of the boards, you know what you might
be said, Well, Texas has got a good defensive rebounding
percentage number. Well look at who they've played, and look
who they're playing today.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move it along. We've got eight games
on the slate today. I'm sure we will get to
all of them. I'll listen, I have a four percenter
in college basketball today.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give it out. Hopefully my football players
are winning.
Speaker 1: I got to say that I've been off to a
terrible start in college who I fully expect to turn
that around.
Speaker 2: I continue to make good bets that lose.
Speaker 1: Last night, Rio Grand Valley minus one went off four
and a half ten point leading the second half.
Speaker 2: Do you think that one? No, it didn't. But those
are going to start winning at some point.
Speaker 1: It's just not possible to consistently beat the market by
three four points on some of these and be on
the wrong side.
Speaker 2: So I'm not I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people tailing, but like I'm
not worried about like it turning at some point. So
while it's running bad, I'll give them for free, and
you know, I'll promote the fact that I've been very,
very good in football. I am head in both college
and the NFL, and I've got a five percenter for Sunday,
so four percent. Someone's like, I heard this yesterday. Yeah,
you're not wrong. I did say the same thing yesterday
and not win in college. Who but we're gonna turn
it around a by. You did win for us yesterday,
so so shout out to Keith Bayou bets Landry. He
was the Brian power. We put him in your chair
to pick the third leg of the parlay, and oh yeah.
Speaker 2: He came in.
Speaker 1: He came in with a nice over winner. So I'm
gonna try to step it up. I am going to
use uh, this will be my leg of the parlay.
I'm gonna use U NBC minus six. This is actually
a four percent client play to four percenters. So the
vast majority of my plays this year have been threes.
The four percenters are pretty close to even, so hopefully
that'll offset some of the losses as well.
Speaker 2: We can hit some of the bigger ones.
Speaker 1: I haven't made a five percent play in college basketball
yet this year.
Speaker 2: Those will be I'll save those for a time.
Speaker 1: I'm running a little bit better, but I hope this
is the turning point tonight u NBC, Brian Power. I'll
leave that. You know, I'm gonna leave that part to you.
I don't even want to talk about I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 3: We saw what happened the other night. I think a
lot of people know what happened the other night. It
was one of the all times.
Speaker 2: It really.
Speaker 1: Really UNBC probably should have been Buffalo by more than
six in that game. They they were going away with it,
had an eight to ten point or eight six, I
would say, like a six to nine point lead most
of the second half. Inexplicably gave up the final eleven
points of the game, and then there was a total just.
Speaker 2: They should have had it. It should have been tied.
Speaker 1: There was a foul called against them that you just
you would never imagine that could have possibly been called
in the spot that it was called cost them the game.
Speaker 2: They lose the game by four.
Speaker 1: Army a much more, a much easier opponent for them tonight,
still on their home floor. I've talked about Army a
lot this year. I still think they are a very
bad team. I think that they've done very well to
hang around in some of these games where they're like
an eighteen point underdog. Actually last time out was another one.
I believe they were like an eighteen point dog against
maybe George Washington, hung around, lost by fourteen. There's actually
a couple of instances where this has happened for them
this year. The Cornell game, the Saint Thomas game. They've
been able to like they still get blown out, Like
they still lose the game and they were never really
in the game, but they cover. And then they had
that crazy win against Manhattan where they managed to hit
a whole bunch of threes even though they're one of
the worst three point shooting teams in the country. Can't
keep happening like this is still a bad basketball team,
very little talent, Like you could play hard all you
want at some point, like when you're the less talented team,
like every time you step on the floor, you're probably
not going to cover or spread. And UNBC they have talent.
This is I think they're going to surprise some folks
in the America East. I think that this team, like
Vermont is probably running away with this league this year.
But if I had to pick a team right now
that I think could step up and steal that second
spot and maybe get into the title game. It's the
Retrievers Brian Power. So I laid the sixth. I laid
the six points tonight. I think it's probably gonna take
money at some point today and go off seven or eight.
And after the Buffalo lotch, you got to think UNBC
it is hungry to sort of bounce back and might
you know, not leave this one a chance in the
final two minutes of the game.
Speaker 2: So I laid the six. I like UNBC, go fetch Retrievers.
Speaker 3: I like it. And also I don't think this it
probably doesn't matter, but Army they probably they care more
about football this weekend too, So I don't know if
that matters well have any effect on this game at all,
But let's just bring it up anyway, because if they
lose then it'll sound smart.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I will say so UNBC minus six
still minus six pretty much everywhere.
Speaker 2: A couple six and a half's out there.
Speaker 1: But that will be my leg of the parlay and
probably my only client play in basketball tonight. So if
you guys don't have anything to add there, we got
Colin Gregory in the chat is parlaying.
Speaker 2: He's probably U NBC with.
Speaker 3: A a uh yeah, let's go to Germany. Let's go
to Germany for the RB Leipsig.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right up, Yeah, that's right up your alley.
Speaker 3: I'll co sign that. I think there. I think they're
gonna win, all right.
Speaker 4: Voll yesterday Arizona.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I missed it. I guess that fell short.
Speaker 2: But that's all right.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give I'm willing to give Colin another
or Garth another chance with a volleyball pick. I have
a feeling he wins more of those than he loses.
But for now we're going to talk h Garth, thank
you again for the donation. Much appreciated. And hey we
still we still appreciate the volleyball picks.
Speaker 2: You want to drop them, we'll take a look at them.
Speaker 1: But he wants to talk East Tennessee Austin p and
I was a little he leans East Tennessee minus four
and a half. The market definitely leans that way. This
is up from three and a half. My number was
much lower on this. I was closer to pick. So
it makes me wonder.
Speaker 4: Rob.
Speaker 1: You know something that we talked about yesterday, these December
road games, a lot of people just phantom out of
the game, right like We've seen teams show up where
guys are not even traveling.
Speaker 2: With the team.
Speaker 1: No, this is pretty close travel right here. East Tennessee
Austin P is down in Tennessee as well. Rob anything
East Tennessee Austin P side or total, it looks like
four and a half now for the bucks.
Speaker 4: You know, my initial look here, guys, was to play
this one over and again on a short card. You
can do a little bit extra work here, And when
I got into it a little bit, I'm just not
sure that we have good enough shooting on the Austin
P s now the home floor. Again, these are personal
general handicapping rules. When you're on your home floor, I
think that your offense can be a little bit better
than it is on the road a lot of times.
So maybe Austin P becomes a little bit better shooting,
but East Tennessee State is the better team by I
think the second part of what Guard has to say,
their team total over seventy three and a half on
the ETSU side. I think that's what I could buy
into here for what it's worth. Austin P. Not only
are they a bad shooting team, but they haven't played
a lot of deepense, and this schedule is not overwhelming
as of yet on their side, Like they didn't go
out and play a bunch of Power fives. They did
go to play Wyoming gave up seventy nine out there,
played Ole miss gave up seventy two. There, there's a
lot of numbers on their on their ledger that exceed
what we're asked to get to tonight with Etsu who
you know, will obviously want to play this one at
a you know, a fairly quick pace. They allow teams
to shoot the ball fairly fast as well. Austin p
might fall into that. It's a hard case to make
with any thorough conviction team to get the seven. It
might be a way to look. I'll be honest, I
didn't play the game. I probably won't play the game,
but I know he's looking for some sort of lean
on this one. If it were me, Garth, like I say,
my first choice was full game. Over ran into a
little bit of blocks when I tried to handicap it
that way, and I could, I could probably lean toward
the East Tennessee side, getting over seventy three and a
half here. Money, by the way, guys, has been taken
on the ETSU side.
Speaker 3: They've been covering. They've been covering as of late. Over
their last eight games, they're six and one against the
number one non board team. You know we talked about
you brought up kind of the the NBA comparison Rob
when I was on the show last about a team
played a bunch of road games. First game back home,
Austin P's they might be a little road weary here,
even though they're they're glad to be back home, but
they've played a lot of road games. The only game
the East Tennessee State hasn't covered in the last eight
was a trip out to Dayton, so you know that
that they were and they were double digit dog in
that game. So you know, the form book, if we
want to keep with the soccer terminology here, definitely favors
the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just like again, I'm I don't really understand
what the move would be toward East Tennessee though at
like on the road where this opened, Like for me,
like that's the thing, so I had to I want
to go backtrack to I want to backtrack for a
second to something I said, like, it's the it's.
Speaker 2: The road teams.
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned with with like leaving guys home and
not even traveling.
Speaker 2: It's something vp that that Rob and I sort of talked.
Speaker 1: About yesterday where I've noticed, probably more so than any
other year, that you have like guys that are literally
so I guess again, it's been been a while since
I've been a college student, but it seems like the
flu is like ripping through college campuses right now.
Speaker 2: And there's been a couple of cases.
Speaker 1: Probably actually more than a couple, where you've had like
Tarleton left six guys home, Norfolk State left a couple
guys home, where it's like, if guys are sick, they're
not even like traveling with the team to the road game. Okay,
so but in this case less concerned that might be
an issue because of course East Tennessee State is the
road team, and the team I like here would be
Austin P. Someone in the chat where Baya says you're
getting a really good by Loo here on Austin P.
I would agree with that. Like, they've only played two home.
Speaker 2: Games this year.
Speaker 1: One was a non board game, so they're obviously going
to win that one, but they crushed Northern Illinois. It's
another one of these teams that doesn't get many home
games non conference, So yeah, they are, you know, I
guess they're a little road weary, so to speak. But again,
like I still think, you know a team like this
that doesn't get many opportunities at home and then they
finally get one, I think I'd still rather have the
home team, especially when they're catching a couple of possessions. Again,
I don't love I like overall handicap on both these teams.
That's why I didn't play this yet. But I've got
this pick, like I make this Austin Pek pick, So
I at least got to consider taking the four and
a half. Again, I haven't played it yet, but it
would be on my radar just from a straight numbers
value perspective and the fact that even yesterday I said,
you know what, I'm almost adding a point to the
home team in all of these sort of like mid
week finals week type games because you got kids trump
maybe trying. I don't know you kids still Do players
still study? Are they still taking tests? Do they have
to go to it? When I was at Siena, the
guys had to take finals. Like I remember sitting next
to Edward, you Belieze taking a final at one point,
I think it was art history, but still like you know,
so I don't know, but it used to be finals week.
He got all other stuff going on and there was
a little bit of edge for being at home. I
still think that might be the case, just a little bit.
So yeahan Lean Governors and BP, I'll bring you back in.
We have some Southland Conference action, mad Max, thank you
for the donation, much appreciated. We talked about the Southland
opener a couple of weeks ago and McNee State lost
that game to increnet word as a double digit favorite.
They played another Southland game last week and Bill Armstrong
was so upset he took all his starters out and
just benched him very John Caliperry esque where he was
just like everyone sitting, We're done with this.
Speaker 2: They bounced back, they won that game.
Speaker 1: They went up to Rhode Island earlier this week and
got a really nice win for them against an A
ten school. Now it's back to Southland play. Mad Max
says mcnee's team total is eighty and a half. East
Texas plays towards the slower end of D one spread
or how should I play the team total. Any thoughts
on McNee state for UBP.
Speaker 3: They're probably the right I mean, I don't really like
laying a number like this, but they are probably the
right side. You know, last four times these teams have
played three of the WIG games, all of them have
been won by McNeese, three of them by double digits,
sixteen or more. You look at the turnover battle McNeese.
What has fueled mcneice's success over the last couple of years.
They forced a lot of turnovers they I believe I
don't have that the latest Ken Tom deal open, but
they're near the top of the country and forcing turnovers
again this year. McNeese and East Texas, but they are
number one. Okay, there you go. I didn't I didn't
click it over in enough time. And then you look
at East Texas, A and M. I mean, they're not
very good at protecting the basketball. They're outside the top
three hundred in you know, holding on to it offensively.
So there's gonna be a lot of extra possessions here
for McNeice if that's what you want, if you're playing
the favorite. You know, the question was about the team total.
A lot of times I've said I've deferred to a
team total over rather than laying this kind of number.
But I personally believe McNee is the right side here,
and if they cover it does stand the reason that
they'll score at least eighty one this number, So they're
probably the two bets are correlating. Rob team totals a
little more in his wheelhouse, I'll kick it over to
him for which one he prefers just laying it or
the team total. McNee is the right side here, McNeese obviously,
I would say trigger and Rob, I'll throw this to you.
Just to look big picture, I don't think there has
been a team in the country over the last couple
of years that is so much better than the rest
of the pack in their respective conference than McNeice in
the south Land mcneae like, can you like, is there
even a comparison to be made for McNeese relative to
the rest of the Southland. I don't think there is
nashally where there's just one team that is clearly the
class of the conference and has been now for you know,
three year, three or so years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, over a long period of time. For this year individual,
I think incarnate word makes the case right in CARNI
beat them and maybe those two and for what it's worth, guys,
and I'll have to see more. But Houston Christians somewhat impressive.
I don't know if they're on that level with Incarnate
Word and McNeese. Adam has described to us the personnel
for Incarnate Word and then they went out and won
that game. Let's speak to the total here, Brian, that
you were talking about and that the question was asked about.
I look pretty good at this game. If I wasn't
so chicken about laying high numbers, I would be on McNeese.
But I don't want to lay nineteen with McNeese because
they're defensive oriented team. And to the point of the
question whether they get to eighty or not is it's
like a fifty to fifty proposition in my mind. If
in fact, I was to pick a team total, I'd
almost prefer to play East Texas A and M under
their number because McNeese is probably going to dominate them defensively.
That the opposing score results against McNeice this year have
been extremely low for the most part, and when they
get into a game like this where they can overwhelm
the opponent, Brian you talked about made a good point
about their ability to force turnovers and the other side's
ability to not take care of the basketball, and that's
just gonna eat away at possessions from East Texas A
and M. They did play Yukon. Yukon held them under
sixty points without really trying in that game. Kind of
a weird spot for East Texas A and M. But
McNeice in conference action will honestly be trying to limit
them to under sixty. So I think my first look
here would be East Texas A and m's team total
under and if you're gonna go that route, honestly, I
don't know how it gets to one forty one. The
better play could be under one forty one as a
full game total. It's taken some money, a shade of
money toward the over. Not sure I understand why people
must think that McNeice is going to get up in
above eighty, which is a possibility. So again i'll leave
you with those two options. I think in East Texas
A and M not to get to sixty one points.
I think sixty or less is probably what they're ticketing
for here tonight. And then be if you choose maybe
full game total under.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's ever a I don't
think there's gonna be a scenario where I click this
at any point today. But I do kind of lean
the dog for a couple of reasons. So you know,
my number came out where this opened eighteen and a half,
you're up to twenty and a half some places, So
like that took you know, that's not like insane value,
right because obviously the bigger the spread, the less the
less those like points I guess are worth a little bit.
You know, obviously, like two to four much bigger, much
bigger difference than eighteen and a half up to like twenty.
Speaker 2: Or twenty and a half.
Speaker 1: But I will point out from a scheduling standpoint, they
went up and played that game in Kingston, Rhode Island
earlier this week, and they go to Houston Christian on Monday,
so they're kind of back home.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like, you know, Houston Christian is.
Speaker 1: I don't think is like McNeice is like necessarily looking
ahead to that game. I'm sure they think they're going
to just smash them too, but you know, a little
bit of travel coming back home. Having to hit back
on the road is not I think ideal. East Texas
A and M, Like they don't really have anyone good
on their team, but they play a lot of guys,
so it's like they do play like ten guys. Watch
them play Army earlier this year, was actually on the
right side of that game.
Speaker 2: Cashed with East Texas A and M.
Speaker 1: In their game against Army, felt like they were the
superior team the whole time, and they just kind of
kept subbing in waves of guys kind of tired of
them out.
Speaker 2: The reason I say that is they'll probably do that here.
Speaker 1: So if you're looking at like them playing the full
forty minutes, like they're not going to get into a
scenario where they're tired and they get like run out
at the end.
Speaker 2: I almost think that this could be a game where maybe.
Speaker 1: It's maybe it's like mcneice's first half, because then you like,
you know, you get up to these twenty point spreads,
and let's say McNeese gets up twenty two to twenty three,
but East Texas A and M is still playing hard
at the end, they could definitely get in and make
it an eighteen point game. So I think if you
like the McNeese side, maybe you look first half. Twenty
and a half seems like a lot, especially especially knowing
McNeese has arguably a bigger conference game coming up. And
to your guys point, there's some good teams in the
Southland this year. We'll get we'll get by you on
to talk Southland basketball at some point, but don't sleep
on Steven F. Austin, who I believe is seven and
two and also back in the Southland. I think this
is their second year back from the whack. So so yeah,
interesting game, tough one in my opinion, but we have
the time today.
Speaker 2: There's only eight games, so we're gonna we'll do.
Speaker 1: The deep dive into East Texas A and m McNee state.
If that's what you guys, guys want to talk about, Rob,
I'm gonna go to you because this is right in
your wheelhouse. You and I talked about this game for
a minute yesterday. How Baptist has been very, very impressive.
They're gonna hit the road tonight, stepping out of conference.
This is going to be although I think they might
be headed to this conference next year. Eastern Washington is
in the Big Sky. I believe that's where Baptist is
going once the Whack dissolves, which will be after this year,
so a conference game maybe next year.
Speaker 2: But up to Washington.
Speaker 1: You kind of like this Eastern Washington team if I
remember at one point in time earlier in the season.
Do you still feel the same way about the Eagles
and can they hang around here?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Their schedule early on, guys, was interesting. I know
we talked about them a lot because they were playing
high profile teams Ucla, Colorado, and they were hanging around
in these games, and I think, and sometimes first impressions
can be wrong, but they played UCLA that night, and boy,
they played UCLA tough, so I put that in my notes.
And then they come back against Loyola meror Mount and
I'm forgetting the kids name for Marymount, who was gonna
play or not play, didn't end up playing and covered
by the hook in that game plus eight and a half,
lose by eight, go to Colorado, take them to overtime.
In a while, I thought I was off to the
races with something, but the road and the travel seemed
to get to them a little bit because Seattle buried them,
and then you start to rethink your position on a
team Central Arkansas buries them, and then I was really
rethinking my position. They finally got to their home floor
last game and did a really good job win that game. Big.
There's a couple of things here. This is a tremendous
contrast in style, right, cal Baptist defense and rebounding defense,
and rebounding defense and rebounding e WU not necessarily a
masterclass in defense and rebounding. But they score the basketball.
So you have one side that wants to set up
a half court defense and the other side that wants
to get to the open floor for when it's worth.
Eastern Washington seven and one over the total games so
far this year, and it kind of flies in the
face of what I thought here. I kind of like
the under even though Cal State is the is the
visiting side here. I just feel like they will have
the ability to, if not slow the game down, guys
in the sense of it's a crawl, but to get
it to moderate pace and to make Eastern Washington shots
selection maybe be off a little bit more difficult, et cetera,
et cetera, therefore making less buckets. And I don't know
that Bakersfield is gonna take is gonna take Baptist. Excuse me,
Baptist's gonna take advantage of what aw you can't do.
Baptist is a great offensive team, but they will grind
you down and they will get second chance buckets. I
think they're the better team. I still think I would
lean under here, guys. One fifty two and a half
is available out there, and it just see, it's hard
for me to think that in oddsmaker's terms. Right now
we're looking at there, they're telling us it's a seventy
nine to seventy four game to get to the over
or in that vicinity. Just don't know that I see
it that way. So for me, it would probably be
a lean toward the under. I'll give you Stone Washington
their credit for playing real tough against better opponents early
on and being home now. But I just I like,
I like cal Baptist. The old dad in defense travels,
glasswork travels. I think this game stays under.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I'm glad rob Veno said that, really glad rob Veno
said that because my leg of the parlay, to the
chagrin of the chat, I guess is the under on
cal Baptist Eastern Washington. I played this and I played
it at a bad number, guys, So I played it
one fifty one. As a matter of fact this morning,
this is a client play for me, Rob. I'll just
kind of give you, you know, just quick follow up.
You know, the first thing that's jumped out jump out
to you guys about cal Baptist. They're an underteam. Seven
other nine games or seven other games that stayed low
this year. Last one did not ninety one eighty five
at Utah, but from shooting there that I just don't
think is can get replicated in this game. Now Eastern Washington, obviously,
Rob alluded what a different team. They are a six
straight game for three one opponents have gone over vast
majority of those games came away from home. Here's the
thing though, that stuck out to me. They were back
home last week and they turned in one of their
better defensive performances of the season. They helped Kansas City
to only sixty six points three of twelve from three.
Kansas City wasn't that game. Anytime you hold your opponent
through three of twelve three point shooting, you're probably in
good shape. In Eastern Washington was They are now two
and Oho straight up in Cheney, oh to seven straight
up away from home. But again my interest is with
the total two of Eastern Washingtonton's games guys so far
this season did go to overtime. One of those, the
one against North Texas, would not have gone over without
the additional five minutes. I know the Eagles are bad
at defending the three, even after the game against Kansas City,
but cal Baptist doesn't shoot. I don't think as a
team that takes advantage of that rob hit on this
cal Baptists they only shoot thirty one percent from three.
They don't take a ton of attempts from three, and
you know, cal Baptists off, you know, one of its
higher scoring performances of the season. I just think there's
value on the under here. I don't see the Lancers
shooting the ball that well in what is their fifth
consecutive true road game. So I'm gonna go under even
you know, I again I took it at a bad number.
I like it even more at one fifty two and
a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 1: I'll point out so from a from a pace standpoint,
they're like really middle of the pack. NCA probably like
kind of close to like maybe two hundredth an adjusted
tempo on Kem Kevin Palm.
Speaker 2: I think they gave me one ninety eight.
Speaker 1: But they very much play the way Dominic Daniels wants
to play. Like, so if you're if you're talking cal Baptist,
like the way Daniels is gonna play is going to
dictate how cal Baptists plays.
Speaker 2: He took twenty eight shots against Utah.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a freak, like he's he's probably the
best player in the WHAC Conference.
Speaker 2: And they actually suspended him. Well, I think he was.
I think he broke a team rule ahead of the
San Diego game. He did not play in that game.
Speaker 1: But like the reason I bring that up, I mean,
he plays forty minutes every game, and so you talk
about cal Baptist, I mean this guy played forty minutes
against Oregon State, forty minutes at altitude against Colorado, thirty
one minutes against BYU.
Speaker 2: They took him out at the end because they.
Speaker 1: Were getting killed, and then forty minutes against Utah last
time out twenty eight shots. So like I almost could
see if especially if they have either a lead or
like I mean, he he has to be.
Speaker 2: Exhausted at this point.
Speaker 1: I know they've had a couple of days off, but
you talked about you look at cal Baptists schedule. They've
gone from Corvallis to Boulder, out to Provo, probably stayed
for a couple of days, played Utah back home. Now
they kind of got to go up to up to
Washington before they actually get to play a couple of
home games. Like just with like the fact that their
starters might be a little bit tired. Forty shots or
i'm sorry, forty minutes every game, twenty eight shot attempts.
The thing I noticed the last couple of years, Daniels
has been hurt at times when he is taken off
of that floor or when he is not his best
cow Baptist is not very good, Like there is a
stark difference between Baptist with him on the floor Baptist
with him off the floor.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe he's just a machine.
Speaker 1: But if he's like a little bit tired and he is, like,
I feel like it's going to mean he slows the
game down a little bit and he's gonna take everyone
with him, because everyone on that team plays the way
he wants to play, which would probably lend itself to
being an under especially. Hey, if this is a close game.
My number on this was like three point three, right
in line with wear it opened. So I hope you
I hope we get your under VP. I think it
could be a tight game, and.
Speaker 3: I hope Toby, Yeah, I like the favor. I mean,
I don't know cal Baptist under its team total too.
I think, you know, I mean, if if I don't
think the fan, I don't think cal Baptist is a
team that can take advantage of Eastern Washington's up defensive
frailties for lack of a better term, at least, and the.
Speaker 4: Teams that did bride were really good teams. I mean
Eastern Washington. You know it's hard to take we say
this off in overall statistics, as you know, set in
Stone at this time of year, because of the strength
of schedule, Eastern Washing plays some really good teams that
haven't just made the point. Cal Baptist comes off of
playing a rocky mountain triangle. Some of these games skew
your statistics so bad. But I think to the point
of your total play and the reason why I think
the same way is the style of that what they're
good at does travel. Defensive rebounding will travel with six
days off. If the shooting is off by Daniels, even
if he's going quick and the shooting is off because
he's tired from being in altitude for three straight games
that game. So we'll see what happens here. But I I,
you know, I'm with you on that play.
Speaker 2: And he'll chuck it.
Speaker 1: If if Eastern Washington can force them to shoot threes,
it'll go under two because Daniel's only twenty six percent
from beyond the arc and the other guy that takes
so it's essentially two guys take all of cal Baptist shots.
Speaker 2: It's Daniels and it's Martel Williams. Neither are like great.
Speaker 1: Three point shooting great three point shooters twenty six percent
for Daniels, thirty four point two percent for Williams. So
like Daniels is gonna be at his best when he
can just take you off the dribble, get to the rim,
because that's what he does is, you know, get in
the mid range. But if they can force a couple
outside shots, that's your your ticket to keeping cal Baptist
is probably under here and I you know, they're they're
gonna have a game plant. That's what they're gonna game
plan for. Like they've had a few days to prepare.
They're going to probably try to make someone other than
Daniels beat them, whereas the last couple of teams Cal
Baptist has played have not needed to do that because
they've been far superior teams Like I'm sure BYU and
Utah are like, yeah, go ahead, take twenty eight shots.
Speaker 2: We're still going to win by thirty. There you go. VP,
I gotta bring you in for this one.
Speaker 1: On all a couple days ago, maybe last week, you
were all ready to give us this great breakdown on
South Carolina State and their game got canceled. Uh oh,
it's potentially could have potentially been their.
Speaker 3: First win, could have been one of the worst college
basketball games ever played in the history of Mancott. Too.
Speaker 1: They were supposed to play at Chicago State. They they
ended up not traveling because of weather. Now the oh
to ten South Carolina State Bulldogs head to Charlotte tonight
to play Queen's University or Queen's College.
Speaker 3: I believe it is college. Yes, it's Queens. No, it's university,
it's university. Pardon me, it's university.
Speaker 1: No, there is a Queen's University, but it's somewhere else.
I do know that, so I think it's whatever. It's
the one in Charlotte that's in the A Sun.
Speaker 2: I believe. I think they're in the A Sun anyway.
Speaker 1: Uh big spread suggests that they're not getting their first
win tonight, that the likely the O and eleven.
Speaker 2: But the chat would like to know what do you
make of this game?
Speaker 1: And bayou Bett says his play of the day and
we got to at least pointed out since he came
and brought a winner yesterday. He likes the Queen's team
total over eighty seven and a half.
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, BP, Yeah, I mean they're not covering the spread.
I don't think without going over that number. It's a
high team total. But I mean, you know it's a
high school look, you know, I remember watching forgot. I
think it was Queen's first year back in d one trick.
I remember watching on ESPN. Was I with you, was
with another buddy in I was at a bar watching
Queen's College the last two minutes because I had the
total and I was watching on my phone and I
was thinking, what has my life come to that I'm
watching Queens and I remember the gym. It looked like
my high school gym. They showed somebody on the telecast
just walking out of the gym into the hallway, and
I remember laughing. That's my first thought. Whenever anyone brings
up Queens, I would co sign the Queens to bring
it back to reality here, to bring it back to
the discussion, hey, and bring it back to the athletes,
I would go, I would co sign the Queen's team
total South Carolina State. What I mean at this point
we talk about we've used the term road weary. Well,
you know so far, you know, I mean, what do
they have left in the tank here? I mean, at
this point, you're making a cross country trip. Okay, I
guess you know, you just don't want to give it up.
You just don't. I mean, if you're gonna make the trip,
you want to make it. But I just I think
the tank eventually trig. Look, I'm forty five years old.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning the tank says he,
and I think the tank says he Here for South
Carolina State.
Speaker 4: I mean, what to that?
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point you just have to be saying,
you know what conference plays right around the corner. Let's
just take the paycheck and you know, and the good
news is if you like the favorite or the team
total over what you're relying on. I think rob is
South Carolina State just sort of throwing in the towel
defensively the second half, and that is a scenario, So
I would say scenario that I could envision.
Speaker 4: Guys, let me hop in here because I'll go ahead
and round out our parlay here, and I want to
thank Keith. You were here Brian yesterday, but we did
ask Keith to fill in and give us the third
leg of a parlay, and he promptly hops on what
I had used as a client player. So of course
I had to close sign on keys play the Virginia
Tech game over last night rolls. So congrats Keith on
that one. I'm gonna go a team total here. Here's
the team that we started to talk about. We've talked
about all season long, but we started to talk about
in a more positive manner last time out against Cincinnati
and Ed Xavier and I play Xavier's team total here, guys,
it's eighty two and a half playing Kwanzo Martin's Missouri
State team. For what it's worth, Xavier has now exceeded
their team total in six straight games. Richard Patino seems
to have the team play, and they got seventy nine
against Cincinnati, which is really no easy feat to get
close to eighty against that side. But the numbers that
they've racked up during this six game tear ninety nine,
seventy seven, seventy eight, eighty eight, ninety six, and seventy nine.
All of those seventies numbers were either on neutral floors
against Let's face it, seventy eight against West Virginia is
a pretty big deal knowing what we know about West
Virginia in their style. Right, seventy seven against Georgia, which
is a real good team, although you would think that
that game would have been a little higher scoring seventy
nine against since he's so two of the three, we're
bordering on eighty against really good D one teams, not
Missouri State, which doesn't defend, which doesn't rebound, which doesn't shoot.
My reservation in this game was obviously being a Missouri
Tiger guy and having lived through the Quanzo Martin years.
He boy, he wants to go like there on ether,
like the whole gymnasium is just they're all over the
place slow, slower and slower. But the Xavier's going to
force him to go. And in some case, when you
get behind, when you're an underdog of this size and
you get behind and there's been a lot of money
towards Xavier, you have to run. At some point you
have to try to catch up. And when you try
to catch up, a team like this generally sees margin
extend against them. I don't know that, Patino. You know,
I fell victim to this last night. Talked about it
a little bit, but just didn't convince myself that it
could happen. With the Missouri Tigers team total over ninety
two and a half fifty two in the first half,
and at that point they kind of let off the gas.
Against Alabama State only scored thirty three in a second
half and did reach their team total. I'm not sure
Richard Patino's going to do that here. This is a
team that's still developing. He's still trying to get to
a stage where he wants them at Adams talked a
little bit about Mike White in the team building that
he did with Georgia, and maybe Patino's going through the
same thing here. He's getting results at least offensively. He's
getting results, and in a wing column he's gotten some
results here. So for me, I think it's pretty easy.
It's like picking low hanging fruit.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: To me, is your team total up and over eighty
one and a half. Adam, there's a number attached to
this of twenty five cents as I see. If you
guys see it higher, but I see eighty one and
a half minus twenty five.
Speaker 3: Shout out to the ether reference there. Rob didn't think
we were going to get an ether reference on the show.
Y'all say that the quote hundred rest toms and there
is nothing more irresponsible and to prave than a man
in the depths of an ether. Bitch, Yeah, what's it?
Speaker 2: Richard Patito is an awesome coach. Like he.
Speaker 1: I don't think he was at all concerned about I mean,
like he's literally his teams are playing awful against Lamoyne
and he's on Twitter joking that like the he put
a tweet out he was like entertainment staff a plus
our defense.
Speaker 2: F mind.
Speaker 1: It's like he's just he's just keeping it light because
I know I think he knows that like where this
team's gonna be in February and March is going to
be much better than it is here. I don't think
he really expected. I think he'll be pleasantly surprised with
anything good that happens this year. Go back to his
first year at New Mexico, he finished tenth in the
Mountain West, and I think for Patino, like a lot
of these guys that get a job now right, like
it's like it's not that you need results in year one,
but it's like if you don't, then like year, year
two and year three are a lot of pressure. So
I think they go hit the portal and they're like
I need to find like the guy. I need to
find a guy that I'm going to be able to
like he's just gonna go off and I can win
now with Whereas like someone like Richard Patino, like Xavier's
in it with him for the long haul. He's there's
nothing for him to worry about. He can build this
team he want the way he wants to build this team.
He can bring his own guys in and he can
start like like a year zero. So it's like early on,
you have to take that, you have to like take
some of those results with a grain AsSalt, But like
this is the type of team and especial actually in
the context of this year's Big East, which outside of
Connecticut and Saint John's I don't think is very good.
Like I think the Big East this year could be
pretty bad outside of those top couple teams. Maybe maybe
Xavier is a team you buy a little bit just
because you know, Patino can get a team from point
A to point B better than most, and maybe he
can do something with this group. So I'm kind of
like not fading Xavier right now. And I don't disagree
with Rob's Look here, Steve Duke says, super stoked about
that cal Baptist debate.
Speaker 2: Wasn't going to play that now it's locked in. Thanks
for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, listen, I see the comments we get criticized

bet your league or NBL Australian the met games, Like
how that this in Eastern wo Washington? Come on, this
is not the show for you, like we're this is
like we're going in uh to games and then this
is not the day for you either, like this slate didn't.

go over to the wager Talk YouTube channel and watch
the replay.
Speaker 2: Drop the comments.
Speaker 1: You can tell me how awful I start to the
college basketball season has been. I'm well aware, doing my
best to turn it around, and I will turn it around.
But if you want to go say that there, it
helps the algorithm, So by all means, have that in
the comments.
Speaker 2: Give us a like while you're over there. I learned
the other day Brian Powers, like you know there is
a dislike button, Drake. I didn't even realize that.
Speaker 1: I suppose you could give a dislike, but I really
hope you give a like. And because it's that kind
of show boys, we got to talk about Maryland Eastern
Shore An NCAA.
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, if nobody's slandered Yukon Joey Cheese
in the chat, who is Waltz does?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's late?
Speaker 3: All I said is they've covered the spread in three
games this year, which is not slander. It's simply a fact.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, no one's no one's say. Actually, Rob
was like Joey Jesus right, I think said, let me.
Speaker 4: Just say that as long as I'm part of this panel,
you could be self as sure Joey Cheese that there'll
be no Yukon slander on this show as long as
I'm part of the panel.
Speaker 1: Yeahs Rob, Rob Venos a Connecticut guy through and through
uh University of New Haven Charger. We found out on
one of the first shows we did here, one of
your stops, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was a sacred Heart pioneer for about
as well.
Speaker 1: So the pit center they just redid that. They just
redid the pit Center last year. It's beautiful. I went,
awesome though, that beautiful. Yeah yeah, so uh yeah. Cheese
is from the Hartford area, and that that is the
point that is where that game is tonight.
Speaker 2: I believe that's at Xcel, not at stores.
Speaker 1: I don't think it really matters much on this particular game,
but but we were we gotta we got to hit
all eight games on a day like this. So really quickly,
let's talk about n c A and Team Maryland Eastern
Shore the Corbette Sports Center. I've been to this building
down in Greensboro, North Carolina. I'll tell you what they
get a great crowd like this is. This is a
building like NC A and T. It doesn't matter how
bad they are. Uh, they always have fans like they have.
They have passionate basketball fans at that school. It unfortunately
football because they they wanted to move to the to
the Coastal, has killed killed it for them a little bit.
Like they're they're struggling to compete in the Coastal because
of resources. But when they were in like the MEAC,
they were winning that league all the time. Uh, they
love their basketball there there. They always have a good crowd.
So this is a place where I'm always gonna give
a home court bump. I do believe they were missing
a couple guys for the Howard game, which was their
most recent game. So that's something if you're trying to
bet Maryland Eastern Shore A and T tonight, That's what
I would I would just make sure try to make
sure that they've got their their full complement of players.
But I'm looking through right now, it looks like most
of them play. And if everyone's going to play for
this team, I think I would lean towards the following
team here. I just think they're I think Maryland Eastern
Shores is down there in the South Carolina state depths
of not being very good. I couldn't bet them, I guess,
is what I was. What I'm saying, anyone any have
any thoughts?
Speaker 2: A and T. Maryland Eastern Shore.
Speaker 3: Jesus's total is low and it keeps getting lower. I mean,
if you're going to bet the under on this game,
I would say, just do something else from seven to
nine and check the funnels, because that would be miserable.
I mean, I gave out a prop on the Thursday
at football game last night, Bucky Irving under sixteen and
a half rushing ATTEMT. I don't think I'm going to
give out another under rushing attempts prop again, because it's
a miserable, miserable view. You're just like, please don't give
this man the ball. Every time you're an offense, you're
like just pass, please pass, don't give them the ball.
So I don't know, Rob, I'll kick at you. I
mean that is a look. It's a low toe for
a reason. But I mean I see as low as
one twenty seven and a half. That's obstinutely love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and guys, in all honesty, it's hard to give
a thorough handicap of that style game. I mean, whichever
side you play, if you lose, you rip your hair
out for even playing that game under Like you said,
right in modern college basketball one twenty eight and a half,
I don't know the Virginia Cavaliers over the years, Wisconsin
Badgers over the years, maybe we could get there. But
two teams like this, I like to use the phrase
that you can in this instance, you can get to
one twenty nine by mistake. Maybe they do. I can't
play that thing under unders almost against my religion anyway,
but in this instance I really couldn't play under at
that first.
Speaker 2: Tyme one thing, very very quick.
Speaker 1: This was a team that had Landing glassper and a
couple guys last year that ended up getting in trouble
for point shaving. But they also took like all the shots.
So this is a much worse offensive team, but it's
probably a better team overall. Lorion Walker was the guy
that I had in mind. He actually returned two games
ago sixteen point six points a game. It looks like
A and T is healthy. I wouldn't play against them here.
I don't know if I really want to lay seven,
but I wouldn't play against them here.
Speaker 2: BP.
Speaker 3: Did you have something to say this Joey Cheese tho,
what a wild card he is? Rob He followed you
on Twitter and he's mad he didn't get a follow back.
What have we come to?
Speaker 4: Well, give me a minute. I don't even put the
comments on when I'm doing the show, guys, because I
get too distracted going back and forth. I do want
to point this out real quick because I know there's
going to come a point here within the next four
where we re kept a parlay. The DABA team total
Guys has now bumped up a full point to eighty
three and a half minus fourteen cents as a consensus number,
so there's action on that side. I'm glad that I
had gotten that out to clients at eighty two and
a half, but it is up to eighty three and
a half a now money expecting Richard Patino's team to
get over this hurdle. So let's hope he does.
Speaker 1: EP I'll give you the floor for a second before
we recap the parlay. I'm gonna actually calculate it.
Speaker 2: I know you have.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so guys, just stay programming. Note moving forward
here at Full Court Press. Unfortunately, today is going to
be my last show on Full Court Press. As you will,
I am not going anywhere. I just will not be here.
I will be still all over the wager Talk YouTube channel.
You can find me in a multitude of places, but
this will be actually my last show here a little
busy during bowl season. Perhaps after football concludes, there could
be a reunion of sorts, but for the time being,
this will be my last show that It's been great
obviously to work with Trig and Rob all these times.
Hopefully you've learned something about college basketball. I know I've
learned a lot from these two, and so there you go.
It will this will be my last show. Thank you
guys so much. It's been a lot of fun. And
uh I did you Adode?
Speaker 2: You know it won't be your last shot? Well, you'll
probably fill in at some point.
Speaker 1: You'll you'll see VP from time to time, but you're
gonna see him plenty on the the plethora of Bowl
coverage that will have over the next couple of weeks.
Matt Winnick, I know you guys liked him. He did
a couple of shows with us over Thanksgiving. He'll be
back from time to time, and you'll have Rob and
I here. Honestly, when it's when it's two of us
and it's a bigger slate, we usually get to a
few more games. So I know that some people will
will that just want us to rattle off picks in
every game will be thrilled about that.
Speaker 4: But uh but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can catch BP doing like a lot of
football coverage and uh now he's got some time to
do that.
Speaker 2: The Hey, the chat for the most part is sad BP.
So that's good Grady.
Speaker 3: But that's okay, Chris Brady, you're not getting the Christmas.
Speaker 2: He's like the hell lot. He's like, you guys all suck,
But yeah you're watching, you know, go go.
Speaker 4: Figure you suck, but make more picks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I promise you'd be Well, we'll be here
five days a week, whether you think we suck or not.
Speaker 2: And listen like the a lot of the info we
give out is accurate.
Speaker 1: I definitely think that this show is probably geared toward
people doing their own handicapping, because you're getting a lot
of info here whether you and it's all free, doesn't
cost you anything to watch the YouTube stream. But again
by all means, if you want to go support wagertalk
dot com, we also picked there. As far as the
parlay is concerned, I've tweaked the juice so so u
NBC actually took some money as well. So I'm gonna
put that one in as a minus one twenty just
so you can at least get it down to six
and a half. But that's the nice thing about parlays
is like if you have to alt line something or
buy a couple of points, you can because it's not
really killing the overall sort of like you know what
your payout is going to be. So I did UNBC
minus six. I'll go minus six and a half for
the parlay minus one twenty. We've got cow Baptist Eastern
Washington under one fifty two and a half for Brian Power,
and then well for rob we'll go Xavier Team total
over eighty three and a half for the parlay.
Speaker 2: Is that what it is right now?
Speaker 4: Someone thinks we're smart.
Speaker 2: Someone thinks we're smart.
Speaker 1: We spout off stuff on the show at moves like
two seconds later, so someone must respect the opinion out there.
Speaker 2: But that is plus five fifty four.
Speaker 1: The parlay of the day is slightly negative right now,
minus one point seventy eight units on the season.
Speaker 2: But all it takes is one to get us back
in the plus. Hopefully that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys all have a great weekend and
we'll be back Monday morning.
Speaker 2: More full Court Press.
Speaker 1: Don't forget to go check out BP on all the
Bowl coverage that Wager talks gonna be doing over the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: And on a show the Blitz, which he does.
Speaker 3: What's I and I'm going to be jumping on with
Jove Niary, my good close personal friend Joe Niary here
coming up in just a minute.
Speaker 1: So that show he has bet, he hasn't lost a
bet since I don't think the hottest guy on the
sun hotter than the sun.
Speaker 3: Right now, so check out mm hmmm. Alright, alright, guys,
have a great week, guys, for all the nicest comments,
