Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is Tuesday. It's five dollars Tuesday.
At wager Talk. We had our links crossed up, but
we fixed that. We are now live a couple of
minutes late, but better late than ever. Of course, we'll
be here with you for the full hour. It's Rob Bino.
He's back.
Speaker 2: Rob.
Speaker 1: I was joking with you last night, so I told
folks on the show yesterday that you had a little
bit of a knee injury, and I joked, I said,
we really, you know, we go out there on this show.
Speaker 2: We play when we're hurt. You're doing the show with
the knee injury.
Speaker 1: I realize from Cameron into arena that my my microphone
is actually a lot better than I thought it was
on the little.
Speaker 2: Earbud, So I am screaming into your ear.
Speaker 1: Kelly, having to do a Saturday morning show not in
football season would be the equivalent of her, you know,
playing through pain. So we still, you know, we still
managed to bring you the show. We missed you yesterday,
but BP held it down.
Speaker 2: But welcome back. How are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well we'll get there.
Speaker 4: Adam.
Speaker 3: It's okay, gotta get back.
Speaker 4: Because I don't want VP to take over my position here,
so I gotta play hurt. But yeah, we had a
little MCL issue here taking care of yesterday. Hopefully we'll
see how the week goes a little bit better here today.
But it didn't stop any progress as far as profit
making was concerned.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the clients until later in the.
Speaker 4: Day because I was in the doctors and trying to
heal up a little bit during the day. But once
I did and released, we had a three and oh,
and I saw on mind it you had a three
and oh, so full court press double the CBB firepower
six and oh for those who joined yesterday, really good night.
Speaker 3: We'll see if we can duplicate it here.
Speaker 1: You know me, Rob, I'd run it right back with
the same cocktail of pain pills if that was me. Yeah,
three and oh yesterday, just run it right back. I
went peach mango bang this morning again. I wasn't going
to mess that up. When all Mallory bought some nonsense
like Alani Energy drink, I'm like, no, I'm gonna go to.
Speaker 2: The gas station.
Speaker 1: We got we gotta go three and oh again today,
but it's five dollars Tuesday I actually have a five
percenter today.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to pay full price for that one. Sorry,
I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't help that it falls on a Tuesday, but
I do like one quite a bit tonight, So that's
gonna be up on our page. You can get them
all on the DOUBLECBB Firepower package that Yeah, we had
a great day yesterday, and shout out BP, who had
a great day on the show. I feel like everything
he talked about one and the reason he's not on
this show is is he we would basically be forcing
him to replicate a lot of what he talks about
on Morning Wager with Mark Zeno. So if you want
BP's opinions, check that out, which is also on the
Wager Talk YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: And I think the.
Speaker 1: Picks and parlays one as well. So just just search
Morning Wager you'll find it. All right, we got to
get into it, rob big slate of games Super Tuesday.
I don't know if they did away with the name
of Super Tuesday, but I'm gonna still call it Super Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's when the big Boy come to play.
Speaker 1: We get all the big matchups, all Power Conference, rarely
extra board on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Let's start in the Big Ten. We have a top
ten battle.
Speaker 1: Michigan is going to hit the road after absolutely destroying
UCLA this weekend, and they're going to take out a
top ten opponent that had a good weekend in their
own regard in Purdue, the boiler Makers, rob Who. I
don't know if I I didn't downtalk the Boilers, but
I think you and I sort of pointed out maybe
some issues that they were having or could potentially have,
you know, during their three game losing streak. But they
bounced back from that nicely. They've got four straight wins.
They've got to win over Nebraska, and they went into
Carver Hawkeye and handled Iowa this weekend, but none of
those teams are Michigan, and tonight they've got a date.
Speaker 2: They've got to deal with the Michigan Wolverines.
Speaker 1: Robino, I don't know that they can deal with the
Michigan Wolverines, but they.
Speaker 2: Got the home pable behind their back.
Speaker 1: How are you seeing this one, Michigan Purdue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at this point in time, Adam, and remember I
think back in late November Thanksgiving tournament time, when we
were on kind of saying the same thing. Michigan looks
like the best team in the nation. Then they went
through that long span where they weren't covering games.
Speaker 3: Because they were overpriced.
Speaker 4: Their power ratings were just through the roof, and maybe
they came down to earth a little bit in Better's eyes.
But certainly now four and went against the spread last
five backup in the good graces of everybody. In fact,
I think I don't pay a lot of attention to
AP Top twenty five, but I do believe they took
over the number one spot this week. So you have
your number one team in a nation playing Purdue. Here,
a couple of things I'll just start with real quick.
Michigan's got to stop fooling around in the first half, right,
that's back to back games where they were way behind,
way behind. It gets Northwestern forty one to sixteen run
to end the game, ends up looking like a blowout
UCLA in the league, but forty six to eighteen second
half by Michigan almost like they're just you know, all right, yeah,
we'll give you the first half and then we're just
gonna tear you up in the second half. And it's
exactly what they did. It's interesting to me that a
quote I found this morning from Dusky may Is. He's
still talking about the team having such a high ceiling,
like he doesn't even think they're as good as they
could be yet. So that's a little scary for folks
out there of Michigan even has another gear that they
could get through. I know one gear they wish that
didn't happen was the excels Lendeborg excel Lenderporter's little social
media video where I have to go back and the
coach have to kind of dance around and.
Speaker 3: Apologize a little bit more.
Speaker 4: But I don't know that that plays into a role
into anything here tonight. Michigan, Adam, when you look at it,
there's just there's no real weakness, right. I was going
through some some exterior number this morning, not direct traditional
box score numbers, but numbers like Michigan number seven in
the nation, points in the paint, Michigan number five in
the nation, second chance points, Michigan number eleven in the nation,
bench scoring, number two in two point field goal percentage.
Speaker 3: They just do everything so well.
Speaker 4: And then when you flip it to the defensive side
and look at what they've done inside the conference, there's
no comparison defensively to Michigan. So for Purdue, it's a
real tough ask. If you're Matt Painter, I always like
to play head coach. You know, I'm not the head
coach here, but I'm trying to devise the game, and
I feel like, if I'm Matt Painter, your best solution
is to try and play the game methodically, which they
like to do, and force Michigan to shoot threes.
Speaker 3: You just don't want them inside the arc.
Speaker 4: However, there's a flaw to that too, because Eliet Cadell
thirty nine and a half percent from three, the Wolverine's
point guard Namari Burnett forty percent from three. They come
off the bench with reserve guards like Carson and McKenny
thirty six thirty seven percent from three. They can shoot
it too. But I'd rather take my chances with Michigan
knocking down threes on the road than I would, you know,
letting them have their way inside. The question is it
can do anything about it. They're such a good interior team,
but Michigan is better in every aspect, I think the
produce side. Of course, they're a little more perimeter oriented, right.
The three guards can all shoot it. Brayden Smith doesn't
turn it over, so you're not going to get a
lot of fast break points from Michigan because Smith is
so good with the basketball inside. Kaufman, Wrn and Oscar
Kluff they're good, but they're really not Michigan's bigs.
Speaker 3: It's so tough.
Speaker 4: I was trying to build the case this morning for Purdue,
and I even went as far to, you know, some
key play for them could be the freshman. A couple
of freshmen here, Omar Meyer and Jack Benter, who's shooting
forty four percent from three, could have an effect.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 4: They've got a seven to four rim protector off the bench.
Purdue's got a lot of goods, but again, I don't
think they have enough goods to stop Michigan here. Michigan's
a high tempo team. God forbid, this game gets up
and down. Perdue could be in a little bit of trouble.
Their path, and I think their only path protect the ball, defensive, rebound,
and make threes. Those are the three things that they're
best at. They have to be extremely good at them tonight.
I can understand the line movement toward Michigan. Not so
sure that I understand a five and a half point
moved to the total Adam upward one to one.
Speaker 3: Fifty six and a half.
Speaker 4: These two teams can play defense and it could get
bogged down in some spots because Purdue likes it that way.
So I might look for the total would probably be
a little bit under. But I think Michigan is the
right side. I mean, Maki is a tough place. I
just don't know that they have the personnel that Michigan
has right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you right there, So a couple I'm
just gonna get my thoughts out and kind of off
of your breakdown. First of all, Prolific says Veno is
back from the il. Yeah, no one's ever come back
from an mcl injury faster than Rob Veno.
Speaker 2: Day and a half. He's back.
Speaker 1: We're ready to rock right here. I think Michigan's gonna
be ready to rock in Mackie tonight.
Speaker 2: Rob, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Once you get past here's the thing. Once you get past, oh,
Maki is a tough place to win. What else do
you have for Purdue here? I think you nailed it.
Purdue needs to basically pray that Michigan is not shooting
the ball well from three if Michigan shoots the because
what they I don't even know, Like you said, I
don't even know if that's like a like a great strategy,
but I do think their chance to win would be
to really clog up the lane, give Michigan almost almost
bait Michigan into taking the threes, but then they've got
to hope they don't make them.
Speaker 2: Like that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Is Like you look at Purdue and one of the
things that I was sort of starting to notice with
Purdue doing during their losing streak was, man, you know this,
this Purdue team might not be as good defensively as
some Purdue teams of past years when you had Zach
Eddie and like some I mean, it's just some of
the elite Purdue teams. I'm not quite sure they're as
good defensively.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: They go out over the weekend and wipe out Iowa.
But Iowa has one score, right, Like iwas, got one
guy that can really generate offense. Once you get once
you stop Bennett Sturtz, you can beat Iowa. That's you know,
it's just it is what it is. And then some
of the other teams on that four game win streak
a little bit offensively challenged, and then of course you
have you have the really nice one over Nebraska. But
what do we know, rob Nebraska can be very variant
related right where they're gonna take a lot of outside shots,
and if I recall, that wasn't the best scheduling spot
for Nebraska. I feel like they had they had one
coming when they finally played Purdue. So yeah, I suppose
you could say, Okay, well, Michigan, you know they have It's.
Speaker 2: Not like you know, they're good.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come into Mackie and Purdue can shoot the ball.
Speaker 2: But that's the other thing.
Speaker 1: Like I think, so right now you've got Purdue who
basically needs to win the game to cover this number.
I think two things need to happen. One, they have
to hope that Michigan's not hitting the outside shot. If
they are, good night, they're not gonna win this game. Two,
they're gonna have Purdue's gonna have to hit the outside shot.
They're gonna have to make probably a healthy number of
three point shots. And then still they might not win
the game because it's still Michigan who can beat you
a multitude of different ways.
Speaker 2: This is what we brought up. We brought this up
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Where typically your national champion is in like the top
twenty five per Ken Palm's ratings in offensive and defensive efficiency.
Michigan has been in the top five in both of
those categories pretty much all year. They're the number one
team defensively from a rating standpoint in most people's defensive metrics.
And then here, like you talk about Purdue, you can
look and say, well, they're pretty good defensively. They rate
out nineteenth. Most people have Purdue as a top twenty
five defense. Yeah, that's true. That works when you're playing Iowa.
You know, that works against some of the lesser teams
in the Big Ten. I don't think that works against Michigan.
So what I think you have here is a Michigan
team or a Purdue team that desperately needs Michigan to
miss shots. And if they don't, I don't see how
they win this game. So, Rob, I am going to
leave it with this. I am going to pray that
some group or some entity that moves the market decides
that they want that home dog in Purdue, and everyone
piggybacks it and flips this to.
Speaker 2: A Michigan plus one or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen, but it's definitely not
out of the realm of possibilities given the way I
think people like to and when I say people, I
mean I quote unquote sharp betters love to kind of
look at this and say, oh, home spot home underdog.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: If because I'm right on the number, I've got Michigan
minus two point one. If you if I were to
be able to get Michigan at like a pick minus
one ten or plus a point, I'd be very, very
surprised if it's not on my card by the end
of the day. So hopefully those people don't watch this show,
but you know, if you or if you do, and
you you want to throw us a bone, move that
Purdue number. So Michigan is a you know, a one
point dog because your boy will be playing back at
that right away.
Speaker 2: They'll be on it right away. I think Michigan wins
this game.
Speaker 4: It's somewhat reminiscent, and I'm not the Purdue in Michigan
State are the same style teams. They're different in a
lot of ways, but it's kind of reminiscent of Michigan
going into Michigan State a couple of weeks ago, where
you know, there was a little bit of thought that
Reslent Center was going to be difficult for Michigan, that
Michigan State can interior wise because they're so good rebounding
handle Michigan, and it wound up being the exact opposite.
Speaker 3: Really no contest.
Speaker 4: In the end, tom Izzoe kind of said it is
postgame that it wasn't you know that they were more
I don't want to use the phrase grown men, but yeah,
we'll use that phrase. And it kind of seems the
same here. Like you said, Purdue's got to make threes.
They have to make to reprotect the ball. Make threes,
make sure Michigan goes one and done, otherwise there's no
shot here. And the problem with it, of course, is
that Michigan defends the perimeter as good as anybody in
the name. So I know, you've got good three point shooters,
but they're gonna have people up on them all game long.
It's a tough task. It produce a really good team.
Michigan is just elite at this point in time. So
I still find it amazing that Dusty made thinks they
haven't even another gear, like their ceiling hasn't even been
hit yet.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Rob, I'm not trying to argue
with Dusty May. I mean, the guy took a Florida
Atlantic to the Final four. I think he's as good
of a coach as they are going to find in
college basketball. So if he says that, I'm inclined to
believe him at least a little bit. But I'm a
pretty big believer in Michigan getting it done tonight. Again,
I haven't bet it yet because it's.
Speaker 2: Right on my number.
Speaker 1: Also, though, I just know how the I know how
the market treats games like this, and I'm just again,
I can't say for sure, but it would be awesome
if Purdue money came in and we could just fade that.
Speaker 2: Get Michigan at a pick.
Speaker 1: I may even be in cliet, like even if this
got down like Michigan minus one, I could just moneyline
it one twenty five. I'd be I think that would
be uh be something I'd be willing to do.
Speaker 2: And maybe it'll be my parlay leg.
Speaker 1: But we got we got plenty of show left, so
I want to go to Garth first.
Speaker 2: Of all, Garth, thank you for the donation.
Speaker 1: Much appreciated, because you've brought up another game that I'm
at least considering for today. And so I'll read what
Garth has to say and then I'll get the large
teal box off of my face, which it takes something
like the whole screen.
Speaker 2: We got a cool font today. I don't know where
that cool thought came from.
Speaker 3: We're going with.
Speaker 2: A scribble font. I like it.
Speaker 1: Garth says, easy winner on my Old Dominion team total
over seven d and a half yesterday. Yeah, great call
by you, Garth. I actually jumped on with you in
some capacity after the show.
Speaker 2: I ended up laying the five and a half with
Old Dominion.
Speaker 1: It was one of my three winners yesterday on a
nice three and oh sweep. Garth says today thoughts on
Louisville SMU. He likes Louisville minus three three and a
half and Rob I like Louisville minus three and a half.
Speaker 2: I talked about SMU a little bit.
Speaker 1: On Twitter on Friday night when I was tweeting from
my hotel bed because I was just not ready to
go to sleep yet after that great George Washington.
Speaker 2: Drubbing that I that I attended much to my dismay.
Speaker 1: I was on the other side, but had some time
on Twitter and I kind of talked about SMU. I said,
you know, I kind of liked Syracuse in that game.
I referred to SMU as a middling ACC team. Some
might have disagreed with that. I think they proved me
right over the weekend because that Syracuse team is lucky.
If they're being called middling at this point and SMU
came and lost at the Dome, they do get to
go home here and play. I suppose again, very similar
handicap for me, outside of being at Moody and being
at home in front of the home fans, I see
nothing that suggests that you should be on SMU here,
So Garth, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: Louisville are passed.
Speaker 1: My number actually suggests that I should play Louisville at
three and a half, I believe I'm at like six
and a half, so I don't know. I haven't clicked
it yet. Help me make heads or tails of that.
Speaker 2: Rob is there?
Speaker 1: Can you can you do you have anything on the
SMU side, the total I guess for me, Louisville on
the road has been sketchy at times, but man, do
I lean pretty strong to the Cardinals here.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So a couple of weeks ago, on the Saturday Last Call,
this game was played. You, me and Kelly were on
and I used Louisville team total over in that particular game,
and they got off to a shaky star or I
should probably say SMU got off to a fast start making.
Speaker 3: A bunch of shots.
Speaker 4: Louisville got behind early, weren't making shots, but about this
second ten minute phase and then the entire second half,
it was all Louisville. It's like SMU is exactly what
he INDI NFL says they are. They can score the basketball,
they have no problem scoring the basketball, but they cannot
stop anybody.
Speaker 3: Every time.
Speaker 4: They have to make a step up in class, and
not even that Syracuse is a step up in class,
because they're not. But they allowed seventy nine to Syracuse.
Syracuse looked really good offensively in that game. I know
it took a last second shot to beat him to
be SMU in that game, but still they lost to
Syracuse up there. So now they come home. You and
I have talked numerous times now about in conference matchups
second time around that just seemed to be favorable to
one side and not the other. And I feel like
this is one of those, like every single thing that
SMU does well which is solely to the offensive side,
there's nothing they do well defensively, but everything that they
do well or exceptionally well on the offensive side, louisgo
does better. Especially with mckel brown back. He was back
for his I think it was his second game back
when we talked about it that Saturday on last call.
He had played a game then, that was his second game,
and Louisville's kind of taken off offensively since then.
Speaker 3: I think Louisville's starting to make a little bit of
a run.
Speaker 4: Here towards the upper half of that ACC Conference, where
we thought they would be anyway, not necessarily the best team,
but one of the better teams in the league. So
for me, when you have these matchups that just don't
favor one side, home floor is one thing, but I
just feel like Louisville can overcome it because Louisville has
the capacity to play some defense, and it's what they
did to SMU first time. I almost feel like, you
know what, Adam, they came out they got hit by
SMU's first punch, they realized what SMU was. And then
if you go back over the box score and just
check the scoring for SMU, they only scored twenty seven
points in the second half. It's like Louisville figured it out. Okay,
here's what we have to stop. We can stop this.
And then they went on to crush that team by
seventeen the second half, by fourteen eighty eight seventy four.
Where totally is concerned, that's one sixty two in that game.
Here we're staring at. I think one sixty six and
a half could be a little bit high, maybe a
little bit too high for my liking. But again, SMU
is not going to stop Louisvo from scoring, and SMU
is going to get you know, probably into mid seventies. Again,
I'm with Garth. It's hard not to like Louisville in
this game, now that they're whole, and now that they've
seen this team once and beaten them the way they
did second half of that game. I just don't know
that home floor matters for us. I mean, now at
this time of year, we'll start talking teams with sense
of urgency mode as far as conference tournament seedings and
stuff is concerned, I would say SMU's in sense of
urgency mode.
Speaker 3: I just don't know that that's reason enough to bet
them at this price.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the road woes thing for Louisville was
earlier in the year. Like, yes, I understand they got
just boat raced at Duke, but throat, that's that's an outlier.
Duke Duke's gonna Duke's gonna destroy most teams at Cameron.
Since then, they haven't lost, you know, Wake Forest. They
go in there, win that game, beat Baylor on a
neutral over the weekend, you know that, and and kind
of I guess a regional, a regional type ro game.
They had to go to Texas to play that game,
uh in Fort Worth, So you know, I just think
remember they had there was a stretch where they played
without mckel brown. There was a stretch where I believe
Ryan Conwell missed a game. So right now, like I
just to basically again, very similar to the last game.
I think if you are SMU, you are just crossing
your fingers and hope Louisville does not just like hit
all their threes, because this is like one of those
things where I think Louisville has to have a pretty
bad shooting night, off shooting night to to lose this game.
And it's like, again, so you could, you know, I'm
sure someone out there is gonna make the case for
the home dog SMU today, the spot whatever, you know,
like you can. But but again once you get passed, well,
they didn't shoot it well at Cincinnati, they lost on
the road to Arkansas, they didn't you know, they didn't
play well against Tennessee, which I believe was in in Knoxville.
Didn't shoot it well there. Those games are all December
sixteenth or earlier. Like if you look at what's gone
on now except for the Duke game, which again throw
that one out. This is like Duke is just a
They're one of those teams such as a different breed
right now, if you throw that game out, I just
don't see how you look at Louisville going on the
road at SMU and thinking that there's any sort of
issue here for the Cardinals, because again they go back
to that first meeting. It's not like they shot the
ball tremendous in that first meeting, Rob and they still won.
What what did you say the final margin of victory
was for Louisville in that one fourteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they didn't shoot.
Speaker 1: It well in the first game and they won by
double digits. Now, I always they tend to shoot the
ball better at home, they tend to play better at home.
But again, you talk about winning the first game by fourteen,
Now you turn around and play it on the road.
I'm with Garth in the respect. You mean to tell
me we only hit the lay three and a half,
like I said, I made it six and a half.
Speaker 2: So I guess for me, I'm sitting here like, why
have I not bet this yet? I don't know. I
have to like go go figure that out.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the you know, I mean, I guess it's
like they probably haven't had a ton of experience going
to Dallas. This is probably one of the newer road
trips for them for conference players concerned.
Speaker 2: But still I think.
Speaker 1: I think we maybe just when I say we, the
market maybe puts a little too much of attacks on
home court for everyone. And it's like for me, I talked,
I was talking to my buddy Krby about this the
other day for me to get full marks because he's
a little anti home court too. He thinks it's overplayed.
And my rebuttal was, you get full marks for me
for home court if you are an elite basketball team,
Like you can't because remember the court, this isn't baseball.
Like the court is still the exact same dimensions. The
hoop is still the same. Yes, you might play with
a different ball or whatever, but like it's still the same.
Get you know, it's not like you got baseball where
it's like, oh the de fence is closer, this ball
might go out here.
Speaker 2: It's like whatever.
Speaker 1: It's you know, when you talk about home court college basketball,
I can't give you the full bump for home court
unless you are as good as your team is capable
or supposed to of being. SMU is not that I
can't give SMU the full bump for home court, and
so therefore Louisville minus three and a half is pretty.
Speaker 2: Much a play.
Speaker 1: I'm like I said, I'm gonna have to give that one.
Some thought that one might make my card as well,
Rob Vino, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Couldn't argue you off of it.
Speaker 4: Like I said, SMU is a one trick pony at
this time unless they continue to shoot out like they
did the first ten minutes of that game at Louisville.
But Louisville's just got too much weaponry, I think at
this point in time. And like I said that their
ability to play defense Adams the separator. Louisville can bear
down and play some defense. SMU just proves over and
over and over again that they can't. And somebody might argue.
They might say, you know, you keep saying throw Duke away,
throw the Duke game away.
Speaker 3: SMU played Duke tough there.
Speaker 4: SMU is without Boopy Miller in that game, and I
think Duke just let down. You know, it's a side
without their best player. Okay, we're going to roll the
balls up and beat this team anyway. That was kind
of a flukish game. Just as much as I want
to be side with SMU, I have to side with
and the enfield. When your head coach comes out and
tells you, and and plenty of head coaches are coming
out and telling us that their teams are soft defensively,
and then you watch them play like I say that
Syracuse game Saturday. I watched it start to finish. Smmeans
not good on the defensive end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, nothing more insulting than calling SMU a
one trick pony. They gotta be upset out, you know. Yeah,
But any anyway, I'll stand by that. I think it's
gonna be proven tonight. I like Louisville in this game.
All right, Rob, you know, here's what we're gonna do
parlay wise today. Because Brian Power had such a good
day yesterday on the show, I've invited him to join
the parlay today and make this a three team.
Speaker 2: So he has texted me a play. Now. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: Speak for BP because you can get his breakdown on
this game over on Morning Wager, So check out him
and Mark Zeno Morning Wager. That show's probably up usually
comes up in the in the ten am hour roughly,
so it's if it's not up yet, it'll be up
very soon. He's gonna talk about this game, but we're
gonna talk about this game, so I'll reveal it.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what the play is right now.
Speaker 1: We're going Degenerate special right here, eleven pm, Stern, ESPN two.
I believe National TV. Uh, Brian Power is going to
play the let down angle. It appears he is going
Arizona State first half minus plus four and a half.
Can you actually tell me if that's the right number.
What are you seeing for Arizona State plus four and
a half right now, Vino.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is universally plus four and a half.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's my thing I want to I
want to just chime in on my my general Like
for me, I've been my rating has been wrong on
Texas Tech all season. And the reason I say that
is so like, if I if I show value on
a team every single game, that's either either I'm really
really smart right and I'm like way off market on
a team, or my rating was probably incorrect. I think
on this one it's the latter, and it's because I
thought Texas Tech was like a shoe and Final four
team coming into this year.
Speaker 2: Is very high on them.
Speaker 1: So even though Texas Tech's having you know, there's really
nothing wrong with their season to this point. They just
beat the number one team in college basketball, well at
least the number one team in last week's polls in Arizona.
Tremendous win. They're nineteen and six, they're thirteenth in the country.
They're nine and three, which is currently good for a
tie or fourth place, and one of the best conferences
in the league, the Big Twelve.
Speaker 2: But Rob, I.
Speaker 1: You know, this would be one of those scenarios where
if I just looked at numbers and stuff like that,
I may still be on.
Speaker 2: Texas Tech here.
Speaker 1: But because I watched the games, which not enough people
do that, you know, try to give you picks, Rob
and I grind it out.
Speaker 2: We're up all hours of the night watching games.
Speaker 1: We have no life really ever, but less of a
life until baseball starts.
Speaker 2: I suppose I can't quite put my finger on it.
But maybe it's depth.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a lack of, like, you know, a really
consistent like third option. I feel like Texas Tech looks
like like they are kind of in there. They are
where they're supposed to be. I just don't know that
they're like that super elite top ten team. And so
for me, I look at my ratings and say, yeah,
maybe you were maybe you were a little.
Speaker 2: Bit off on this one.
Speaker 1: Now they knock off Arizona and they come into what
I believe Brian is probably looking at as the letdown
spot of all letdown spots, still out in the desert,
quick turnaround on the road against Arizona State.
Speaker 2: So my question, like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit this one out because my numbers like
Texas Tech, I don't have enough confidence to go against that.
But I see why people would want to target Arizona
State in this spot after Arizona after Texas Tech just
knocked off Arizona on Saturday night, So what are you
doing here?
Speaker 2: Agree or disagree with BP for the first leg of parlat.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to disagree, but I will say I
don't have the guts to go that far with Arizona State.
I mean, Bobby Hurley two games ago, Adam was absolutely
shredding his team rightfully so because they cannot rebound whatsoever.
They come back and play Oklahoma State on Saturday. They
win the rebounding.
Speaker 3: War, so to speak.
Speaker 4: They beat Oklahoma State because Oklahoma State in the end
just couldn't make enough shots and Arizona State separated to
win by nine.
Speaker 3: Pretty close game. Oklahoma State had some fight at the end,
but when it was catch.
Speaker 4: Up time, file shoot, file, foul make a basket, foul maker,
basket cetera, etc. They didn't have enough shot making to
tie it up or get it into overtime. But they
win that rebounding margin in that game, and Hurley says, well,
I guess.
Speaker 3: We figured out how to rebound.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you right now he's going
to figure out that they can't rebound tonight against Texas Tech.
There's just no way that they'll win any rebounding match
against Texas Tech. In this particular game. Grant McCaslin, I
just gave you a quote from Dusty May saying he
doesn't think his team has hit a ceiling yet, Like
there's still a ceiling for Michigan. How about Grant McCaslin
obviously in U four in Upok State after winning against Arizona,
but he said, we don't have everything figured out yet,
but we're just scratching the surface.
Speaker 3: Texas Tech is.
Speaker 4: A team with that starting five that when they come
to play, they can match up. And they've shown it
all season long. Right match up in Houston twice beat Arizona.
Take on the tougher teams, play them extremely well. Topping
was the best player on the floor the other night
against a really loaded Arizona team. All that said, I
can understand where Brian's coming from. When you have a
victory of that significance and it took overtime and players.
Speaker 3: Played extended minutes. The good news to me.
Speaker 4: You said this before, but I think it's good news,
not necessarily bad news. That they don't really have to
travel Tucson to Tempe is not that big of a
deal as far as back to backs are concerned. Yeah,
they're out in the desert, but I don't know that
that travel takes any effect on them. They're clearly the
better team. You talked about a team that's not very good,
and we talked about this earlier this season with Arizona
State that they had one game there Adam where like
mo Odem went berserk, and mo Odem really is their
guy so to speak. He's not Moodum and there's not
much left to that Arizona State offense.
Speaker 3: So I won't play it. I'm not going to disagree
with it at all.
Speaker 4: It's part of our parlay. We love BP and will
lean on his feeling for this game. For this one,
I just don't have the guts to go against Texas
Tech who right now. I mean again, when you look
at standings in the Big twelve, they're right there, and
their two losses in this last ten games eight and
to their last ten. But the two losses, the one
was Flucush to Central Florida. I really will never understand
that except maybe bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was I'm with you there. I don't know
how they lost that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they.
Speaker 4: Came back and only lost to Kansas by three the
next day.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I like that team. I like
them a lot.
Speaker 4: We'll see if her Brian's probably taking the right approach
with it early.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I want.
Speaker 1: I wanted to like kind of make that point before
we moved on, was like, you know, cutting it in
half and trying to target the.
Speaker 2: First twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: I mean you you should, especially after your your coach
basically like went out and quit instead of yeah, I'm done,
I'm all set.
Speaker 2: That was. That was Bobby Hurley a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Like, you have to think that this spot would be
a spot where Arizona State's like really really ready to
play comes out. The energy is there, the arena will
likely they'll likely have a good atmosphere. Maybe they'll bring
back the cut. Do they still do a curtain of
doom for free throws?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. If I haven't. Now I'm realizing I
haven't watched in Arizona State game in a while.
Speaker 1: They became sort of I don't know I did, they
just they've alluded me to this point. But again, I'll
tell you what. Brian Powers having a really good month
of February. So I'm not about to try to try
to step in front of that train, the BP freight
train right now. So he's gonna lock in the first
leg of our parlay Arizona State plus four and a half,
first half, Arizona State first half plus four and a half.
Quick promo time. But first I got to shout out Colin.
Colin Gregory says, what's up everyone, My baby decided to
come early today. I'll be in and out of this
this week. Good luck all. All of my friends that
bet that have had babies, like have had children, kind
of love it because they don't sleep anyway, and they're
up all hours with the baby. So it's like an
excuse to just stay up grinding the late game. It's
like you're gonna be up anyway at all hours. So
my one buddy just used to eat, got this little
thing and the baby just sat in it. It's like
a little you know, it hovers kind of you just tap,
you just tap it. Every once in a while he's
rocking and he's just sitting there. Watching the games becomes
a little more of an issue when they're like two
and then you actually have to I tried to watch
my nephew who's like nineteen months I'll be two in
May the other day, and I was like also trying
to do work, and I quickly learned that there was
no work being done while. You know, once they can
start moving around your in trouble, you actually have to
watch them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're good for this season.
Speaker 1: Great excuse to do nothing all March and just stay
in and bet and watch basketball. So congrats to Colin.
The other thing, we'll promote I again six and oh
yesterday for Rob and if you if you were thinking
about the five, the double, the firepower CVB package, we
just went six and oh and I have a five
percenter out today. Two great reasons to on that. Today
we are going to do a three team or so.
Oh that's the other thing. We did hit the parlay yesterday.
That's what BP gave us the over in the A
team total over with Marshall pretty much every over in
that game hit. I think that was played in the
eighties and I had Drexel, which is one of my
client plays. So we are going to try to hit
a three teamer for you guys today, Robino, do you
like know? Do you know your leg or do you
want to go back to the chat? You want to
think about it for a minute, Let's.
Speaker 4: Go to the chat because I'm split on two. I'll
even let the chat know the two I'm split on
right now. I've made a lot of money the last
two games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't you let me know because I I'll
pick whatever game I like more and we'll see if
we could talk into it.
Speaker 4: All right, So I've made a little bit of money
the last couple of games with Oregon totals over the
number since Nate Biddle came back. I didn't think that
the odds makers adjusted to Biddle being back.
Speaker 3: They really haven't. Oregon's going over back to back games.
Speaker 4: I look at that over again with Minnesota problem for me,
Jalen Crockerd maybe not no go for Minnesota again and
they're just so poor offensively.
Speaker 3: Might look team total there and the.
Speaker 4: Other one, which I think in the end will be
the way I go Is the Texas team total against
LSU tonight eighty and a half for Texas they would.
Speaker 1: Have to do will I have more of an opinion
on Texas, So let's talk LSU Texas.
Speaker 2: I also saw something chat wanting to talk LSU Texas.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Austin, Texas tonight double digit favorite. But I
know you want to talk total first, So kick us
off with the total and I'll see if I can
bring it home with some spread talk here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty simplistic where this is concerned LSU. Let's just
start with their offense, because not only is it Dton
Thomas right now, it's Max McKinnon too. Max mckinn, the
leading scorer for LSU injured, may not play tonight, may
may not. I've tried to get definitive confirmation on his
status for tonight. It leans a little more toward not
playing than playing.
Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes. But if doesn't play, to me,
it just leads to more poor shot selection from LSU.
Speaker 4: I'll say this Adam to me, LSU has the look
of a team that's just playing for their one cannon
type shot at an SEC tournament. Because there's nowhere to
go now with the regular season for this team, They've
been bad defensively all along. The only drawback to Texas
right now, which is the second most efficient offense in
the SEC, believe it or not, Sean Miller has them
playing good offensive ball. The only drawback to them when
you're trying to get to eighty one is the fact
that they don't necessarily push tempo. They're one of the
slowest tempo teams in this league. I think I saw
this morning third slowest tempo inside the SEC, which is
a pretty it's a pretty much an up tempo league.
But they did get over eighty against Missouri the other night.
That was a big game for Texas. Think they got
the eighty five and that game Voka Titus doesn't have
really any resistance from LSU in this game. So when
you start combining texas As guards with the center all
having the ability to score in a game, and to me, again,
this is one of.
Speaker 3: Those field things.
Speaker 4: You handicap these games long enough and you start to
realize things that don't really show up in numbers if
you're just going analytics, statistics, whatever. But even a team
that ranks sixteenth in pace in the SEC. If they
have an opponent, and especially at home, that they think
they can run off the floor and put up offensive
numbers against, they'll jack up that pace. Like Texas will
go faster than sixteenth tonight once they see that they
can score on LSU almost at will. So to me,
the eighty and a half becomes a little bit smaller.
I guess we'll talk ourselves right into it, Adam, and
just go ahead and play. This is a part of
our parlat leg Texas team total tonight over eighty and
a half against LSU. You know, you could say, does
the Missouri game affect you because they won?
Speaker 3: Is it a letdown?
Speaker 4: I think Texas has the has the right to let
down in any spot. Right now, Sean Miller is trying
to push, push, push this team further and further.
Speaker 3: So I like this spot. I like the little bit.
Speaker 4: I hate to say teams give up, right, I don't
know they give up is always the right word. But
the focus, the effort, et cetera. For LSU just not
at the level of Texas at this point in time.
So I like that team total.
Speaker 2: Over, I love it.
Speaker 3: Veino.
Speaker 1: I Texas is gonna they should absolutely destroy this team,
and I'll be honest, I would even I'd almost rather
LSU have guys confirmed in so they would knock this
spread down a little bit, because I do think so
from a number standpoint, and it'll actually just probably push
me more to toward your your angle of total. I
do think that the injuries are like overpriced a little
bit here, like kind of like, so right now you've
got a ten and a half, which is up to
eleven and a half. Now, that's that's right where I
was on the number. But like I think if this
were a normal scenario where LSU would be healthy, I
would be up in the eleven and a half twelve
thirteen range, whereas the market would be more like nine
nine and a half. And then I would bet that
they obviously, like it's no secret that LSU has been
dealing with injury issues recently with Thomas and McKinnon and whatnot.
So that's there, But I don't think that means that
Texas won't still come out and basically cover all numbers here.
They probably do, But as I listened to you speak, Rob,
I'm more inclined to think over is the play regardless,
like the game over because I do think LSU. You know,
if they get run out like I think they could hear,
they could be like the go they could get you
there in garbage time from a game total standpoint, like
they'll do enough. But like you said, Texas, I thought
they looked really good over the weekend. And this is
a Texas team that you and I have really been
talking about for over a month at this point, really
really since the duo of games, the Bama win and
the Vandy win that was way back in early January,
where I think we both kind of agreed that probably
turned the season for Texas. And yeah, they've lost some
games since then, but they're losing games that are games
that are are kind of games that are tough for them, right.
They lose to Texas, A and M. They lose at Kentucky,
they lose at Auburn. Those aren't really bad losses. But
since then, they've taken care of business where they should
take care of business. Twenty point went over Georgia, ten
point went over Oklahoma. You know, only I guess they
only beat South Carolina by nine, but it was still
a game that they won. I don't think there was
ever really a doubt that they were going to win.
They handle all miss they handle Maszoo and Columbia over
the weekend. That was actually an impressive result. That's probably
the most impressive result of that stretch of games. I've
been buying Texas for over a month now, so again,
even though I probably won't lay at eleven and a half,
I do think if LSU took money inclined to play
it at like nine and a half, if it got
down that bar, I don't think we're gonna see that.
So I'll just I'll just pivot to you and I'll
say full game total, which is correlated with your Texas
team total.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about text.
Speaker 4: I remember now we talked about Texas with Kelly on
last Call a few weeks ago, and I remember reading
the quote from Sean Miller who said, and it gets explicit,
but his point was, we just filed.
Speaker 3: All we do is file.
Speaker 4: We fouled everybody, and you know, statistically you could see
he's not wrong. But I think they have calmed down
the following a little bit. And I think the reason
why Texas gets into some sort of foul trouble or
files a lot consistently is because they're in close games,
and when you get in those games, you follow a lot.
At the end, those numbers still count in the number
in the statistics. But Sean Miller's point wasn't even that.
His point was we just filed way too much. I
think it's been correctable. The last thing I'll say about
this game is LSU turns the ball over like crazy,
and when you don't have your starting backcourt in and
you've got a freshman take control of all at point,
it just it breeds trouble against a team like Texas.
So as slow as they are, adam, they've gotten to
eighty seven of the last eight games. The one they
didn't was seventy nine against Ole Miss, And I think
Chris Beard's defense, even though it's not vintage Ole Miss,
Chris Beard's defense is a lot better than what LSU's
throwing out on the floor right now. So to get
to eighty one tonight, I think it's doable.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll go quick on these last two week
we can get two more and I am likely going
to use something we've already talked about for the parlay,
so we won't need to break that game down I'll
just be revisiting one of of the picks from earlier,
but chosen one says anybody on Kentucky Georgia. I looked
at this game earlier, Rob, and I said, well, got
My first thing I said to myself was, well, I
don't know if I want to lay that number. But
the more I look, the more I think that that
number is probably short. Now I still don't know if
I want to lay it With Kentucky. I feel like,
you know, I guess that the Texas game comes to mind.
I actually cash that game Texas at Kentucky where they
kind of, you know, they didn't like I don't know
if it like if I don't know that Kentucky was
like unlucky not to cover, but they kind of led
the whole game and were the clear team that should
have won that game in Texas against a similar spread
kind of snuck in and nicked them right at the end.
For I believe a six point final, it's possible Georgia
does that here. But Rob, I think I think I
leaned toward Kentucky maybe maybe winning huge here. Like as
much as I don't trust Kentucky, I did like what
I saw against Florida over the weekend. I thought they
I thought they played good and pretty good in that game,
all things considered. And Georgia is a team that, like
I find myself downgrading, I've found myself downgrading pretty.
Speaker 2: Much all SEC play at this point. So Rupperena tonight.
I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is it as simple as just lay the seven and
a half with Kentucky, take a double, you get your
double digit win, and go about your day.
Speaker 2: Because it feels like that might be the case.
Speaker 4: It does feel like that might be the case. And
what makes it a little bit better is, you know,
I do pay attention. I've been paying attention to pretty
much the same batch of coaches all season long, because
some of them just walk out there and speak truth.
Others go out there and just give you a bunch
of coach speak rhetoric that we've heard for twenty five years.
But Mark Cope is one of those guys that, since
the beginning of the season, has at least led us
in on the way he doesn't care what he says
about his team. He's gonna give you the truth. And actually,
after the loss on Saturday, it wasn't negative toward his team.
He's beginning to call his team resilient, actually giving them
positives for what they did even in a loss the
other day, the second half, the strong second half, etc.
They can score with anybody. The problem for me here
is Georgia can also score. But I'm with you that
Mike White's team and that game against Oklahoma was abysmal
sixteen point loss. I think I called smu no pun
intended again. I'm glad you brought it up a one
trick pony earlier. And it's kind of what George has
been all season long. If they can't get to eighty five,
they're not going to beat you, and even when they
do get to eighty five, sometimes they don't beat you.
And Kentucky could probably write their own ticket here. I'm
just afraid of Georgie's sense of urgency in this game,
desperation mode, bringing their best effort. Is it good enough?
And ruck, I'm not sure. One sixty one and a
half for a total on the full game at them
just seems low. I gotta say it could very well
be one of those eighty nine I'm seventy eight type
deals here we're with Kentucky on top. So for me,
I'd probably pay a little more attention to the total
going over than I would decide.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it's like one of those things where I think,
I think there's no way Kentucky loses this game. But
it's like there, it's right in that sort of range
where you do kind of have to win big.
Speaker 2: You know that seven and a half number, right, it's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta it's got to almost be like out
of reach for you to not get nipped at the end.
You know, ten becomes seven, nine becomes six. I'm like,
but again, I think that I think this could be
like a twenty point Kentucky win, like if they're focused,
Like if there's no hangover, because again that Florida game
was a big game. They put a lot into that game.
They did cover even though they didn't win. If there's
no hangover from that, I think Kentucky's gonna roll here.
If there is, I still think they find a way
to win. So my number was ten pretty much on
the nose. So at seven and a half, like, there's enough.
This is where I'm at with a couple of these
games today.
Speaker 3: There's enough.
Speaker 2: There's enough there for me to like justify laying it
with Kentucky. But it is a it's tough. That's a
tough one to It's that spread range for a favorite
to me becomes a little bit more difficult.
Speaker 1: Like I'm over here last night, same thing. Old Dominion
kind of dominated that game, but I was still sweat
and five and a half right till the bitter end.
Speaker 2: And so that's where it's.
Speaker 1: Uh So I'm gonna segue here because maybe we can
just make it. Maybe it's as simple as just a
little moneyline parlay. We've had success with those on the
show recently. There's another game in that sort of range
that that piques my interest, and so we'll talk about
this one as well, because I see that there's a
couple of people in the chat that there's actually a
super chat that is asked about this game which is
supposed to be started.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: I think I unstarted though, so well, I think I
accidentally unstarred the super chat. I think it was start,
but they George Washington VCU. We'll finish up the show
George Washington VCU, and then I'll lock in my parlay
as we recap the parlay. But this is one where
you gotta know Rabiel Castro's if he's gonna play or not.
Speaker 2: So I was.
Speaker 1: I actually was at both of these games this weekend.
I saw George Washington play a home game on Friday
night against George Mason, and I saw DCU get a
win in the Capital City Classic at Richmond on Saturday night,
beating their rival.
Speaker 2: Cashtro warmed up ahead.
Speaker 1: Of George Mason to the point where people thought he
was gonna play, and he did not play. Now, I've
seen teams do this and do this for a couple
of games, So this is one where we've got to
try to read the tea leaves a little bit. Does
it mean he's coming back here? Because if he comes
back here, it's a big deal. It's a very very
big deal.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If ra Astro plays, it's hard to not like gw
with those points. If he doesn't, then you have to
wonder if, like the VCU athleticism, their ability to get
to the rim, their ability to get up and down
just ends up overwhelming George Washington, similar to the way
it overwhelmed Richmond on Saturday. I didn't think BCU played like,
you know, they played a really good first hat.
Speaker 2: They got every call.
Speaker 1: Chris Mooney was almost escorted out of building like they
got every call. He made sure to get teed up
right before the half and let the rest know too,
and then they came out. VCU wasn't as good in
the second half. The shot the shots stopped following Richmond
had that down to like a two point game. So
my thing is here, like, if you gave me GW
with Castro, I'd be pretty interested in that. But without him,
it's just such a big difference in their ability to
defend the rim that it's so tough to play that
game without knowing his status. So how do you feel
about this one GWVCU And have you heard anything different
about Castro?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: I have read this morning that Castro targeted this game
for his comeback. Still this is as questionable, but it
seems like you know, they held him out to play
this particular game.
Speaker 3: One thing you said I think is pretty.
Speaker 4: Is pretty spot on is the fact that GW without
Castro Saturday absolutely destroys George Mason. But George Mason isn't
loaded with the athleticism and up and down the BCU is.
It's a totally different style here. So without Castro this time,
would it be the same, probably not VCU probably is
your winner. But I do think, you know, sometimes we
have to be proactive and do a little guest work
and then bail out it for wrong Adam. But it
looks like they want to start Castro. We'll see no
real confirmation there.
Speaker 2: You gotta think. So I'll leave one more thing with this.
Speaker 1: That number moved three points, two and a half points.
I think that was as high as George Washington minus
four on Friday night. I couldn't understand it because I
had pretty good intel that he wasn't gonna play like
I had a pretty good intel that he was not playing.
So I but typically you're not Typically you're not gonna
see a market move like that in a standalone National
TV Friday night game if like the info is incorrect,
right like it's usually usually something like like a move
like that would suggest that he's either there in some capacity,
he's coming off the bench. So you have to wonder
if GW sort of watched him warm up and said
maybe we feel it out right, like we think we
can beat this Mason team without him. And to you
know what else I'll point out about that GW game
on Friday, Luke Hunger had the game of his life.
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 3: Rob.
Speaker 1: He was he was throwing shots up, they were going in,
and he was just laughing because he couldn't believe how
good he I mean.
Speaker 2: He this is a guy that comes off the bench.
Speaker 1: He dropped like thirty one, and there was a point
in time where he did the Jordan. He looked right out.
I was sitting right like two rows off the court.
He looked at the crowd. He's just laughing like this
because he's like, I don't this is I'm you know,
I'm off the bench, Like I don't know what his
scoring average is, but it's not very hot. Like he's
probably the eighth or ninth guy in that rotation, and
he came in.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not true, Like actually this is a good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a point in time earlier this year
he was only playing eight minutes, twelve minutes, seven minutes,
twelve minutes, fifteen minutes. He's the guy getting most of
these minutes for Castro last two games, twenty one against
Rhode Island, thirty one against George Mason. So you have
to ask yourself, if Castro's not in there, is it
as big of it. It's probably a big, big er
deal defensively, but like, Hunger's clearly hot right now, So
do you try to front run Castro playing and then
just be okay with the fact like if he's out
that you're gonna get Hunger playing like the best ball
of his life right now, which he clearly has the
last couple of games. So as we talk this one,
I thought I was going to make a case for
VCU just winning this game. I don't think I want
to do that. I think I I think the value
here is clearly with GW on the points, and that's
how you would have to play this game. And I
may even look to do that if we if we
can get that infos secured somehow, because that is a
man Castro coming back and then still maybe getting twenty
minutes of Luke Hunger, who's who's clearly figured it out
a little bit. Getting the extended minute sounds appealing in
this in this game. So yeah, that's a that's a
good one. Whoever said they had GW plus seven and
a half in pocket, I think you've made a decent
bet at this point. All right, we've hit the finish line, Robi,
you know I'm gonna do it. What is the Michigan
money line on your screen right now? Is what is
the market price for Michigan money line?
Speaker 3: I'm showing minus Yeah.
Speaker 2: I figured, yeah, I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think the market is going to grace us
with a Michigan pick here. I think that was ambitious.
I think it would be wrong if that was the case.
I think Michigan wins this game. We did the breakdown
for Michigan. We did the breakdown for Michigan at the
top of the show. I just think there's so much
better than Perdue. And I really think it would take
like a generational shooting performance at Mackie for Purdue to
win this game tonight. So I'm going to put Michigan
money line in the parlay because we've invited Brian Power
to join today. It's a three teamer, so I'm not
gonna sweat Michigan minus one forty five in the parlay.
It's really not going to kill the odds because we've
got three games. So my leg will be Michigan minus
one forty five. Rob Bino Texas team total over eighty
and a half, and then we have IMpower, who is
in the parlay until further notice. As long as he
keeps winning, will keep him around. You can watch him
break this game down on Morning Wager. But he has
contributed Arizona State plus four and a half in the
first half of their game tonight against Texas Tech, so
you can thank him for keeping you up late for
that game. That is then eleven PM tip. That's a
three teamer. I didn't calculate the odds, but I gave
you the odds of each leg, so I'll have it
calculated on the show tomorrow. If we hit this, we
are back in the plus. I believe it'll be right around.
It should put us back in the positive for the
parlay of the day for the show, so hopefully we
can cash this three teamer again before we go Michigan
money Line. Texas team total over eighty and a half,
Arizona State first half plus four and a half.
Speaker 2: That's today's three teamer. I've got a five percent play.
Speaker 1: Go check out the joint package between Rob and I
and it's also five dollars Tuesday, so plenty of five
dollars plays on the site. I'll actually probably have one
as well if I lock in a second play today.
Good luck everyone, enjoy your day and Rob and I'll
be back in the morning.
