1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,599
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome in everybody. It is Thursday. You know

2
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:10,199
what that means. It's all mid majors. It's my favorite

3
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,919
day of the week. And I come in still feeling

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,960
pretty good. I had one play again yesterday.

5
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: It was Rickman.

6
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: It was my five percent play, and they battled back

7
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,440
from what was a horrific start almost win the game

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,160
and cover the number.

9
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,399
Speaker 2: So we keep it going with it. I think that's

10
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:29,600
seven in a row for me now.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,119
Speaker 1: But Rob, you know, I said, you know, when I

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,439
was here losing in November and December, you couldn't lose.

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,079
I said there would be a point in time where

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,320
I get my sort of uptick, and I think I'm

15
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:44,479
I think I'm in the midst of that right now.

16
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: Feels kind of good.

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: It's a long season, howe. Basketball is a long season.

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: March is long, Rob, March is long, and we're not

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,520
even to March yet.

20
00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: You know, like those ups and downs are to be expected.

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,400
I apologized to the Parlay crowd yesterday. I went out

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,319
of my lane try to side with Temple. BP came through.

23
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:12,319
You came through Temple, did not you ab even shorthanded

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,879
got there last night. So I do apologized to the parlor.

25
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:19,280
We could have had another three team er.

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: I'll make you feel better about that. Rob, I'll make

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
you feel better about that. I know you were between

28
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,959
BYU team total under and what the play that you've

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,840
picked with Temple. Had you went your normal route with

30
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:33,400
BYU team total under the play, I would have picked

31
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,439
with a loss. So we were we were losing the

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,719
parlay either way. It was you didn't cost us to

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,040
parlay by not using that team total, which we talked

34
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,560
about as our future game yesterday, and that got got

35
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,239
there kind of easily as we both expected. B YU

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,519
nowhere near that seventy and a half seventy five and

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,200
a half number.

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,519
Speaker 2: I think they finished in the sixties.

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting too, Adam. Before we hit on South Florida Memphis.

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,040
That as much as we said yesterday about the bans

41
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:06,840
To being targeted, has been targeted all season long, obviously,

42
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,080
but now without Richie Saunders, it almost the other. The

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,919
other coaching strategy almost to that is let the bands

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,000
to have his and see who else can step up.

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,439
And last night AJ went crazy and there was nobody

46
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,439
else to help out. He had more than fifty percent

47
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:28,000
of their points I think last night, so BYU Texas

48
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:30,680
Tech JT Top and I mean the Big twelve has

49
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,159
taken some rough, rough hits to top personnel over the

50
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:37,560
course of the last couple of days. And I'll just

51
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,840
throw one more gripe out there. Didn't help me any

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,159
Last night when Darren Peterson decides to bench himself in

53
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,680
the second half, Yeah, looking at a team total of

54
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:49,919
eighty two and a half over they get to eighty one,

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,919
but he decides he's only going to play three minutes.

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Bill self kind of scratching his head, wondering why the

57
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,960
guy doesn't want to play. But down the road here

58
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,759
with Darren Peterson, Adam, we have to take it to consideration,

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,639
things that we should not have to take into consideration.

60
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,560
And oh yeah, last thing because it's on my mind.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,520
Darius A.

62
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: Cuff Junior forty nine points, rob incredible.

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: What a performance? What a performance?

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, we we you know, we griped

65
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:24,960
about Temple right and it's like game probably could have

66
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,960
went either way. UAB made a couple more plays down

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,840
the stretch, and I feel like that's been the.

68
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: Story in the American this year. Now our matchup tonight,

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,520
like the one thing I thought that the one thing

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280
I could say about this conference that does not surprise

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,280
me is South Florida being at the top. That doesn't

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,759
surprise me.

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: I figured South Florida that was my pick to win

74
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,199
this league coming into this year. The surprising thing, though,

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,199
I think is is Memphis not being right there with them.

76
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:56,199
I think Memphis probably thought that this was at minimum

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,840
a two.

78
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:57,879
Speaker 2: Horse race in this league.

79
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:01,879
Speaker 1: You know, there's obviously some other team that going into

80
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:03,840
the season you would have thought been in would be

81
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,319
in the mix. But man, Rob, I just think back

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,840
to the way Memphis scheduled kind of in the non

83
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,639
conference scheduling that game out in Logan, Utah over the weekend.

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,800
That was clearly like a game that was set up

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,319
to be like, hey, we deserve it at large, obviously

86
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,639
if they could have won that game. But Rob, do

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,519
you think Memphis sort of punted on that game over

88
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,160
the weekend, maybe sort of looking ahead to this game

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240
because at this point it's really about league games and

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,600
winning the American Tournament. I don't know that Memphis gets

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,879
into the tournament otherwise, so this game would certainly help.

92
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,560
How are you seeing Memphis South Florida. Do the Tigers

93
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,399
have a chance tonight.

94
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's got to be the viewpoint at this point

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,240
in time, right, Adham. I don't know that they punted

96
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,839
on that game in logan as much as they just

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,839
got blitzed by Utah's the end of first half. Go

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,680
back watch the last two and a half minutes of

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480
the first half and then the way the second half started,

100
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:08,120
and Utah State just was an absolute title wave against Memphis.

101
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,959
Memphis really had no prayer of matching points with them,

102
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,439
And then, of course we talked about it. At the end,

103
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,040
Utah State piled on with the last couple of buckets,

104
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,240
obviously for obvious reasons. Right, They're trying to get something

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,480
on their resume, and Penny probably still carries a little

106
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,600
bit of that bitter taste into this game. Not that

107
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:34,600
it's pointed directly at South Florida, but certainly they want

108
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,160
to get back on the floor here. So to your point,

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,279
Memphis winning the American is about the only route at

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,720
this point in time. South Florida's played better as of late,

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,800
really have, especially on the defensive end. I think they've

112
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,800
gone three straight unders at this point in time, even

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,240
though there's still scoring points. I don't know how long

114
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,240
that could continue, I'd expect Memphis to have a pretty

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,839
good offensive night. Here you've got two teams that want

116
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,720
to get up and down. There were a lot of

117
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,279
Sincere Parker forces the other night against Utahs. They in

118
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,839
an attempt to come back. I mean, when you get behind,

119
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:10,560
you try to do too much. But that trio of Bradshaw,

120
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:14,680
McDaniel and Parker, they still match up pretty well with

121
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,759
South Florida. South Florida probably to me, has a little

122
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,439
bit more depth and probably are a little bit better

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,920
as they still get accustomed to the style of play.

124
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:27,800
But I think they're a little bit better at it

125
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,279
dan Memphis is at this point in time. Now, Memphis

126
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,759
has been a good defensive team inside the conference number

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,279
one defensive efficiency team. But I mentioned off the top

128
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,079
that South Florida has improved their defense a little bit too.

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,160
That game the other day. Here's one thing that I

130
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,519
do worry about with South Florida is did the Florida

131
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:45,959
Atlantic game take a little bit out of them? Boy?

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800
That was a tough game over time, back and forth.

133
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
That game could have went either way. South Florida gutted

134
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,839
it out. Showed little something in that contest for me

135
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,839
in this one. It's been hit and been hit hard.

136
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,240
But I throw understand people who looked at one fifty

137
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,160
three for a total in this game and said, oh

138
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:06,040
my god, you know I have to get to the

139
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:09,240
window fast. They did. It's now up to one fifty nine.

140
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:14,199
Could I see both teams getting into the eighties here? Maybe? However,

141
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,399
the counter to that would be, this is a crunch

142
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:20,800
time game at the end of February, and you would

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,360
expect a little bit, not a little bit. You would

144
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:27,199
expect maximum defensive effort to show up here despite the pace.

145
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,839
So now getting to one sixty becomes a little bit

146
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:33,120
more difficult. Value may be gone out of that number.

147
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,639
At this point in time. You got to push from

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,639
eight to eight and a half. Adam, I don't know.

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,519
I think South Florida is the better team, but eight

150
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,519
and a half better, I'm not so sure, especially when

151
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,279
I add in the extenuating factors of what happened in Logan.

152
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,959
Memphis wanted to get back out on the floor, Memphis

153
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,639
being in sense of urgency mode to win the American

154
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,199
et cetera, et cetera. Eight and a half seems a

155
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,759
little large, and we're totally is concerned I just feel

156
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,240
like one nine. Maybe they've taken all the air out

157
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:06,240
of that number right now.

158
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have some thoughts here.

159
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is certainly not my not what This

160
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:16,519
wasn't a feature game pick because of like crazy opinions.

161
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:19,000
It's a feature game because it's on ESPN two and

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,519
it's one of the only sort of like you know,

163
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,240
national TV like Marquee type games tonight. But these two

164
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:27,240
teams are at the top of this league, and this

165
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,959
is one of the bigger leagues in action, so I.

166
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,399
Speaker 2: Suppose it qualifies. I'll comment on something you said, but

167
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,519
first I'll go to Bayou in the chat. Penny as

168
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,200
a dog is never a bad option, yeah, historically, but

169
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,919
he hasn't been as good as a dog this year.

170
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,320
You know, some of that some of that Penny is

171
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:46,720
nails as a dog stuff has has been sort of

172
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,480
not the case this year. He has not been like

173
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:53,120
just lights out in the underdog world. Now, I don't

174
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,960
know that I like you.

175
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to go against Memphis

176
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,720
and lay the points with you know, with the last

177
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,679
two I guess the way the last two games have gone.

178
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240
But I referenced on this show, I thought the UAB

179
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,080
game coming after the two Lane loss, was the game

180
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,639
that was really gonna sort of like determine which way

181
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,720
Memphis was gonna go the rest of the way. They

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,120
were either gonna respond to that loss to TWU Lane

183
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,120
and get a win and get back into the mix,

184
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,000
or this was gonna be the type of year where

185
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,000
it's just like, not very good and we'll show up

186
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,919
at the American Tournament and see if we can get

187
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:33,200
a get a run going. They knocked off UAB, they

188
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,320
went on the road, won that game in Birmingham. I

189
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,320
believe they actually ended up being a slight underdog. Uh yeah,

190
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480
they were a slight underdog there, maybe like a point

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,559
a point and a half.

192
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:44,519
Speaker 2: They turn around blow out Charlotte.

193
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: But I gotta be honest, Rob, the weekend or the

194
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,480
road trip thus far was pretty disappointing. I thought they

195
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,639
would have given a better effort at North Texas. That

196
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:57,080
is not a very good North Texas team in my opinion.

197
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: They lose that game and then just lifeless Logan give

198
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,840
up ninety nine points. You know, just.

199
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,399
Speaker 1: That to me right there is like a pretty big concern.

200
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,519
Now you're on your third road game in a week

201
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,720
and you know that that to me is concerning on

202
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:16,559
the Memphis side.

203
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: As far South Florida.

204
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,399
Speaker 1: What I'll say about the South Florida defense, you know,

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,200
they almost have kind of a defensive coordinator of sorts.

206
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,960
So they hired Tobin Anderson, who was the head coach

207
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,759
at Barley Dickinson. He was the head coach at IONA.

208
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,039
Many mac people feel like he kind of got a

209
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,039
raw deal getting let go by Iona after last year,

210
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,480
and so Brian Hodgson hired him to coach their defense.

211
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:43,360
And so I wonder if you know, there was a

212
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,559
little bit of a period of time where they were

213
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,480
trying to adjust to almost like having a defensive coordinator

214
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,240
of sorts. But Rob, I mean, it doesn't surprise me

215
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440
that they're playing better defense now. They literally hired a

216
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,679
coach just to coach defense, and he's it's a good coach.

217
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,360
So those are things that make me kind of like

218
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,919
the South Florida side, But I just don't know that

219
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,240
I can get there at the current number.

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting with them, Adam. The better the defense

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,639
has been, the offense hasn't been great from a shooting perspective.

222
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,879
I mean, they've got three wins in a row here

223
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,840
shoot forty one point seven from the floor, forty two

224
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,759
point three from the floor, forty two point five from

225
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:29,960
the floor. Those are not numbers of a stellar offensive team.

226
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
I mean they're scoring right now more due to pace

227
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,799
and some free throws than anything else. They're three point percentages.

228
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,960
The last two games before Floord Atlantic were horrendous, but

229
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:42,919
as I mentioned, they got to the free throw line

230
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:46,960
of those two, But the defensive numbers outstanding here. And

231
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,240
I said this at the start of the season, and

232
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,399
it's funny it's three months later and it's coming back

233
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,279
to mind here as I look at Memphis, and I

234
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,960
don't know that Doug McDaniel has been that big of

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,879
a help to this team. I said, off the top,

236
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,879
I thought that their trio at the top of Parker, McDaniel,

237
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,759
Bradshaw a matchup pretty well as far as threesomes go.

238
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,320
But the playoff Doug McDaniel, I thought could have been

239
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,679
a lot better this year hasn't been. I don't know,

240
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:20,759
his offensive contribution to the team hasn't been what I

241
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:23,679
thought it would have been. And Memphis, again, I think

242
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080
I've talked about this before too. They're so hard for

243
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,639
me to handicap because of the variants in how they

244
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,919
play on the offensive side, Like their game totals will

245
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,120
stray from high one thirties to one sixties, mid one sixties.

246
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,080
And you're wondering why is there such variants constantly with Memphis.

247
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,480
I think it's because they just aren't getting the major

248
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,480
contributions that they expected in this game. Maybe defense can

249
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,039
carry them as eight and a half just looks large

250
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:55,039
with South Florida here. To me, I haven't played the game,

251
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,039
just my thoughts again, Like you said, it's our featured

252
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,039
game because it is what it is. We probably could

253
00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:03,159
have gone William and Mary Campbell. We could have gone

254
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:04,639
out west to the Big West. We could have gone

255
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:09,200
a lot of places for better games. But I could

256
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,519
see a little bit of a Memphis play here plus

257
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,279
the eight and a half.

258
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, it wouldn't surprise me if this

259
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,159
game ends up being tighter than like their lat right,

260
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120
like Memphis coming in didn't really look good in their

261
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,399
last two games, it wouldn't at all surprise me if

262
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:30,240
they show up national TV. I do feel like that's

263
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:32,960
a way that Penny has been able to sort of

264
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,720
rally his teams in the underdog role, like being in

265
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:38,519
that sort of national TV spot first place team in

266
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,559
the league. So, yeah, you're not gonna see me lay

267
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:43,399
eight and a half here with South Florida. I might

268
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,159
punch back on that over I kind of feel like

269
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,480
this is gonna be a little bit of a battle,

270
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,440
and just going back to what you said the South

271
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,159
Florida defense being better of late, knowing that they they

272
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:58,960
brought in Tobin to make the defense better and they

273
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,840
really weren't good early in the year, and I think

274
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,679
that's probably because he probably had to tear it down

275
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:06,240
and rebuild it to an extent right to make to

276
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,519
get the defense playing the way that they would want

277
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,440
their defense to play.

278
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,799
Speaker 2: And I think you're seeing the payoff of that right now.

279
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,679
Speaker 1: So maybe Memphis team total under game under I can't

280
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,159
argue with eight and a half.

281
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be on the other side.

282
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,039
Speaker 1: But ultimately not a game I'm gonna play, but very

283
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:27,440
interesting game and that's a national TV game tonight.

284
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: Two things to consider real quick before we move on.

285
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,240
I always point out that coaches like to correct what

286
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:37,200
went wrong. Giving up ninety nine points to Utah State

287
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,960
defense has to be the focus of Memphis here tonight

288
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,879
against this team. And the second thing I'll bring up

289
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:45,639
is that it's the first year under Brian Hodgson, and

290
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,440
Memphis and USF haven't played yet. It's this late in

291
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,240
the year and they haven't played each other, so it's

292
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,120
the first time Memphis is seeing them in this particular style.

293
00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:57,879
I guess you do have twenty some you know, roles

294
00:14:57,879 --> 00:15:00,399
of game tape to go through, but until on the

295
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,000
floor against it, it's a little bit different. So there's

296
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:05,360
a lot of variables in this one, Adam, where we

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,279
could counter argue or counter debate back and forth out

298
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,759
who to play, whether it's over under. But I think

299
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,080
I'm trying to enhance the point about under. At this price,

300
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,519
now one sixty is gonna be it becomes difficult to

301
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:21,759
get to in a game with this amount of meaning,

302
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440
especially for the underdog side. It's a lot of meaning

303
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,320
here for Memphis.

304
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:30,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's say, Garth in the chat, thank you

305
00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:34,240
for the donation. Much appreciated. Garth says, let's talk a

306
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:39,320
little a Sunball Central Arkansas and Stetson. You gotta love that,

307
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,879
Rob Bino about Thursdays like those are the types of

308
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:46,559
games that are basically the I mean, that is what

309
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,120
Thursday's slate is outside of you know, they didn't even

310
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,639
try to slip up like a random Big Ten game.

311
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:54,840
Every once in a while, the Big Ten will slip

312
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,639
when in on a Thursday, and it'll be like Ten

313
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200
State playing you know, Rutgers or something like that, and

314
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,600
it just gets lost in the shuffle.

315
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: Not even that today, I don't I don't.

316
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Think there's a single power sort of quote unquote power

317
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,799
conference league playing tonight, which uh, which is great. It

318
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,519
gives the the mid majors consistently get pushed in the

319
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,919
you know, push to the back in college basketball these days,

320
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:20,039
and so it kind of gives it. It's a full

321
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:24,759
mid major slate. This one, I believe this is in DeLand, Florida.

322
00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:28,679
I've never been there, but that is where Stetson University

323
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:31,960
is located. And this is this, of course, is not

324
00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:35,080
your Stetson team of a couple of years ago that

325
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,759
made their first NCAA tournament. They have you know, kind

326
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:41,720
of lost the players that were on that team. I

327
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,240
can't remember if it's the same coach or not, but

328
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,919
they're a pretty big home dog here.

329
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: Garth says.

330
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:50,799
Speaker 1: He leans central Arkansas laying eight and a half on

331
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,519
the road. Central Arkansas has been a lot better than

332
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,679
I expected them to be this year. I'll say that

333
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:58,519
they now his name is going to escape me here.

334
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,320
They ended of getting a player back. I think that was.

335
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Cameron Hunter last year was hurt or was

336
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,759
I think he was hurt for most of the season

337
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:16,880
or he transferred and didn't play. So like him coming

338
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,400
back to this.

339
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,759
Speaker 1: Team was very intriguing to me because back in twenty

340
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:21,960
twenty two he was one of the top scorers in

341
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
this league and he's been that this year for Central

342
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:28,279
Arkansas eighteen point eight points per game, a big time

343
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,279
game changer, and so he is the reason that, in

344
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:34,839
my opinion, that this team is as good as they are.

345
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,960
Now they're starting to creep into territory that I did

346
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,039
not think they could get to. Okay, and that's where

347
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,680
I'm going to kind of start the handicap here, because

348
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,720
the clear better of these.

349
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,319
Speaker 2: Two teams rob is Central Arkansas. No one is going

350
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:49,960
to debate that.

351
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,039
Speaker 1: But now you're starting to get to a point where

352
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,079
they have a shot to win this league, and that

353
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,200
was something that I did not see happening, and I

354
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,200
I am not the most tuned in a Sun guy,

355
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,839
so I'll I'll just say that this is the Atlantic

356
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,680
Sun tends to be a tiny bit of a blind

357
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,839
spot for me. We've had actually had luck kind of

358
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,880
playing against Florida Gulf Coast a couple of times this year.

359
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,559
Speaker 2: I think I was on to Austin Pe being really good.

360
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Maybe, like you know, ahead of the curve on that

361
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:24,519
I did not have Central Arkansas up there at twelve

362
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:26,799
and two with a shot to win the a Sun

363
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,079
regular season. So for me, let me see if I

364
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,400
have my number to this, Like I don't know if

365
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,960
the way I handicap games, if I could really lay

366
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,839
eight and a half on the road here, And I'm

367
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,599
just gonna double check, yes I do have.

368
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:44,759
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was. I was at seven point two.

369
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:47,119
That doesn't surprise me at all.

370
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: I knew I would be a little bit off because

371
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:54,799
the market has really bumped Central Arkansas up at this point.

372
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,839
So my question for you is, Rob, is that bump

373
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,359
up valid in your opinion? And can you you get

374
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,440
there with Garth laying the eight and a half on

375
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:02,839
the road.

376
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,039
Speaker 3: Well, it's easy to see where Garth is coming from, right,

377
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:09,119
I mean Central Arkers all eate and went against the

378
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,359
spread last nine games. Six of those eight covers at

379
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,160
him by six and a half points or more beyond

380
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,519
the closing line, So not just barely covering, but destroying

381
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,079
this league. And first time around they destroyed this team

382
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,759
ninety three seventy three in that game. Central Arkansas put

383
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:30,000
it to him that game was at home. Now we

384
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,319
gotta go on the road. But Stetson hasn't been anything

385
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,960
to write home about on their own home floor. They're

386
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,960
in the midst of a bad run themselves. I think

387
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,359
two and six over their last eight, so I can

388
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,440
honestly understand where he's coming from. And then you add

389
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,880
to it, Stetson is off that tough Florida Gulf Coast

390
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200
game the other day. I think it was a two

391
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,839
point game. Trying to look up the final seventy six

392
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,920
to seventy four final in that one. So you add

393
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,720
to it the taxing minutes that they play the fact

394
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,640
that they've already been blown out by this team. The

395
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,960
one thing you would worry about, I guess, in a

396
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,720
road game, if you're going to play the road favorite,

397
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,799
is perhaps you look beyond this team. You've beat them

398
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:16,839
by twenty already they're kind of floundering in the standings

399
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,200
down to the bottom half. But the fact that you

400
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,920
have a shot at the top spot, to me, kind

401
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,720
of negates that mindset. It's like, let's go, let's go

402
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:31,720
catch Austin p So for me, I could thoroughly understand it.

403
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,720
I'm trying to look and see if we've had any

404
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,799
real movement on this game here this morning, Central arkansaw

405
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:43,960
from eight. Yeah, you see a couple of nines out

406
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,079
there now, So of a money opinion with Garth as well.

407
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,400
Like I said, I can understand it simply from the

408
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,640
simple fact that whether it be home or on the road,

409
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,480
during this nine game span where they're eight and one,

410
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,519
they're destroying the closing line. It hasn't been closed. So

411
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880
that sort of takes a little bit of the worry

412
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,720
of laying eight and a half out of it because

413
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,480
you have a team that's winning excessively against the point spread.

414
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,680
So yeah, I would have to agree with Garth here.

415
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Stetson doesn't seem like a team that's gonna put up

416
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,480
a ton of fight. They certainly won't put it up

417
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:21,279
on the defensive end. And Central Arkansas, you know from

418
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:26,480
my memory, Adam of Central Arkansas as a team used

419
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:30,759
to be all offense with zero defense, and now Central

420
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,559
Arkansas is the second best defensive team in the league,

421
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,319
which is kind of a change perception wise for this squad.

422
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,519
So again I could understand where Garth is coming from

423
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:41,480
here with the road favorite.

424
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, over the weekend, Stetson probably played one of their

425
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:50,920
better games. They were right in the mix on the

426
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,160
road against Florida Gulf Coast end up losing by two.

427
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,160
I think they covered like as a double digit favorite

428
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,279
in that game. So if you kind of are are

429
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,119
looking at the angle like, hey, this is a bad

430
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,519
basketball team this year Stetson, that is they've you know,

431
00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:08,960
kind of covered back to back games, and how likely

432
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:10,680
is it that they're just gonna string a bunch of

433
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,319
covers together because again, this isn't a very good team.

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,119
You can go that angle as well. For me, the number,

435
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,000
I just feel like you're paying a little bit of

436
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:19,880
a premium. But we we've talked about this on the

437
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,160
show in the past. League, as long as you're not

438
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,680
paying like an egregious premium, Like just because you're not

439
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:30,599
getting like insane number value does not mean you can't

440
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,000
bet something right, Like, I think I said, what did

441
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,240
I say? It was at seven point one? I lost

442
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,799
my spot. I think I said seven point it was

443
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:39,960
in there. I was in that that you know, between

444
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480
seven and seven and a half. So yeah, like, I

445
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:44,960
think you can still acknowledge that the books are shading

446
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,119
a little bit towards Central Arkansas. But that's not like

447
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:52,799
you're gonna need more probably to talk yourself off of

448
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:55,119
playing them if you just love the matchup and think

449
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,160
this is gonna be a blowout. There's not a huge

450
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,119
difference between eight and a half and seven and a half.

451
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,480
And so if you dig get in at eight and

452
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:02,640
a half or eight or I think eight and a

453
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,559
half was like what was pretty much available, I'd be

454
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:07,920
fine with that. Where I would where I would start

455
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,359
to dip and where I would start to maybe just

456
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,279
pass is if you get to nine nine and a half,

457
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,240
I think that's too far away for me.

458
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: That would be too far away from what I made

459
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:20,440
the number and where this opened where like this is

460
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,960
one where if I could have got eight or eight

461
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
and a half, nine or nine and a half is

462
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,200
too far away.

463
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, Garth, I can't these are teams. Yeah, this

464
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,079
opened eight, so this opened eight. So eight or eight

465
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,839
and a half is fine. But I do see the

466
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,039
nines popping. Wouldn't be surprised if it got to nine.

467
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: And a half.

468
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: These are the types of games on the extra board.

469
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:42,160
Not many people are gonna bet them. If you get

470
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,440
one sided action on Central Arkansas, you might be up

471
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,279
to ten. So I don't disagree with the eight and

472
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,559
a half, but these are just not two teams that

473
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640
I've I've dealt with enough this year to be super

474
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,599
confident in playing that game. So so yeah, well, but yeah,

475
00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:01,160
good luck if you play the Central Arkansas are the

476
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,319
the I know they're the Bears. I just don't know

477
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:05,720
if they're the Purple Bears, but rob they do play

478
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:07,240
on a purple and great turf.

479
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,759
Speaker 2: Football field that I do know that is true. Let's move,

480
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:13,160
all right.

481
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,079
Speaker 1: So I told Brian Power that he's here till future

482
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:20,559
to further notice, meaning like we're gonna let him join

483
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:25,079
the parlay until he loses one. Yesterday BP came through

484
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,880
with a Fordham team total under. It was another easy win.

485
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:31,359
So I hit him up right before a showtime. I said,

486
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,039
I said, you're you're giving out a pick, You're making

487
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:37,200
this a three team or two, you lose one, he said,

488
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,519
no problem, Trigger, I got one.

489
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:39,279
Speaker 2: I love today.

490
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,839
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go to Brian Power's Parlay League right now,

491
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:45,480
and we're gonna head to the Ohio Valley. So if

492
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,400
you thought, you know, if you thought the a Sun

493
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,480
was in the in the weeds, Rob Bino, let's go

494
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:53,160
to the Ohio Valley. Although these I think are two

495
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,720
of the higher profile teams in the valley, and I

496
00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:00,799
fully agree with Brian's handicap here. So to hear again,

497
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200
BP's given out games that he broke down on Morning Wager,

498
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:07,000
which is his show with Mark Zeno, so you can

499
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,039
get Brian Powers breakdown on this game. BP wants to

500
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:15,039
target Little Rock and so Little Rock tonight is going

501
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:19,079
to play UT Martin. He told me. He goes not

502
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,960
related to Drew Martin, is what he texted me on that,

503
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:23,599
which I thought was funny.

504
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: The UT Martin Skyhawks the upstart team, one of the

505
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,359
upstart teams in all of college basketball. Rob, I gotta

506
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:31,799
be honest.

507
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I got both of these teams wrong

508
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:40,119
this year when UT Martin came out early in the season.

509
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,200
I think they may have knocked off UNLV. I think

510
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,319
they may have beat Bradley. They hung around with Florida

511
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,279
State and suddenly they were everyone's favorite team. And I

512
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,480
was like, oh boy, this is North Florida from last

513
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:55,640
year where they had a couple good results in November,

514
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,799
and they're going to fall back into the back, into

515
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:01,039
the middle of the pack in there in their low

516
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,839
major league, and we're gonna be able to make all

517
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,519
sorts of money playing against this team.

518
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: I was wrong. They are twelve and five.

519
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,599
Speaker 1: They come into play with the tied for first with

520
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,839
Southeast Missouri State at the top of what has actually

521
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,799
been a very solid Ohio Valley Conference. I gotta say,

522
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:20,079
like I probably watched more Ohio Valley Conference basketball this

523
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,319
year than any year of my life to this point.

524
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,519
Tennessee State eleven and five, more Head eleven and five,

525
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,319
Edwardsville ten and six, Lindenwood ten and six, Like, all

526
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,039
these teams are very close. It's actually been an intriguing

527
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,319
league to watch. And then you've got Little Rock down

528
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:38,759
there at seven and nine. And this is where I say, well,

529
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:40,720
I kind of got it wrong. I thought Little Rock

530
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:41,799
was gonna win this league.

531
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: I thought this was the best team in this league

532
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,640
coming into this year, and this is another one rob

533
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,559
where for three weeks now, I've been looking at every

534
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,039
single game I show value on Little Rock never fails

535
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,359
every single game, and then every single game I'm like,

536
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,640
don't do it right, just to you don't have to,

537
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,640
You don't have to, you don't have to fade.

538
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,759
Speaker 1: You know, they've lost four in a row. You don't

539
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:06,400
have to do it, they've lost five in a row.

540
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,440
You don't have to do it right. They actually ended

541
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:11,799
up losing six in a row before they finally beat

542
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,359
Western Illinois with you and I highlighted the other day.

543
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: Is one of the worst teams in college basketball.

544
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,079
Speaker 1: I nearly played Little Rock over the weekend at Eastern Illinois,

545
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:23,480
thankfully talk myself off of it. They go in and

546
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,880
lose to what I don't think is a very good

547
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,000
Eastern Illinois team. Brian Power wants to take them here

548
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:32,880
against Tennessee Martin his reasoning, it's a horrible spot for

549
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,279
the Skyhawks. My numbers agree with him, but I just

550
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,880
have not been able to get to the window with

551
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,279
Little Rock, so I'm gonna let BP do it for me.

552
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:43,440
I don't think I'll be joining him for a client play,

553
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,920
but I'll certainly be rooting for him tonight. He wants

554
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,960
to take Little Rock with the points here plus two

555
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:50,640
and a half.

556
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: My numbers love it.

557
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: But I've been so wrong on this team that I can't,

558
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,400
like it's hard for me to like be super confident

559
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,640
about back this Little Rock team. So how do you

560
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,480
see his parlay leg Tennessee Martin, Little Rocket.

561
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,039
Speaker 2: If you want to talk about the total, you can

562
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:06,759
do that as well.

563
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: Well, we said it yesterday. We're not going to argue

564
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,759
with Brian Power.

565
00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:15,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you just do what he says at this.

566
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: Whether I think there's something contradictory or not, this is

567
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:24,400
meaningless where his plays are concerned right now on FIREBP,

568
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,839
so we're going to support that play. There has been

569
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,880
one game to go off of between these two, and

570
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,960
it was a tough loss for Little Rock fifty five

571
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,960
fifty two on Martin's Tennessee Martin's home floor. So you

572
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,759
do have a revenge angle from a I don't want

573
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:43,160
to call that heartbreaking, but when you lose by three

574
00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:45,720
as a dog on the other team's floor, you feel

575
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,480
like when you come home you have an opportunity to

576
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:51,680
knock them off now, so I'm sure that Little Rock

577
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,640
will come out here in the right mindset, fully focused, motivated,

578
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,839
all of that stuff. For Tennessee Martin, it is an

579
00:29:01,079 --> 00:29:04,400
off of an overtime game and overtime win against Southeast Missouri,

580
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,599
as you mentioned those two at the top of the standing.

581
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,319
So again, we just talked about a game where the

582
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,720
minutes were taxing, exerting, and now you have to bounce

583
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,160
back and do it again, this time on the road.

584
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,039
There's not a lot of separation between days, right, I mean,

585
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:25,759
you just play Tuesday Wednesday off, make a road trip,

586
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,640
and try to apply the same effort that you applied

587
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,000
a day ago two days ago. So from a situational standpoint,

588
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:40,559
you can build a huge case for the little Rock side.

589
00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:44,480
Martin has been great. Tennessee Martin has been great on

590
00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:47,839
both ends of the floor. Number one offensive efficiency in

591
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,920
the Ohio Valley, number one in defensive efficiency in the

592
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,119
Ohio Valley. Hard to argue any of their statistical numbers.

593
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,039
So I don't think you're gonna make the argument from

594
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,759
a player fundamental type standpoint, but you can make it

595
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:04,480
from the situational angle, which it sounds like where BP

596
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,160
is coming from. Because you started off what he texted

597
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,119
you by saying, horrible spot for Tennessee Martin, and I

598
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:15,960
would agree, horrible spot for Tennessee Martin first time around.

599
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,599
It's not like either team lit it up offensively. So

600
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,000
you take a one oh seven game and try to

601
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:25,599
apply it today. Let's just really quick here. I'm looking

602
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,519
at the total's been bumped up to one thirty five,

603
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,799
So you know, are they basically thirty points better today

604
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:35,039
than they were the first time they met. I'm not sure.

605
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,519
It seems like this game again would take on a

606
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,160
defensive connotation. The one thing I worry when I play

607
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,200
totals with Little Rock is, again like Memphis, their variants,

608
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,680
they just don't shoot straight. They haven't shot straight for

609
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,359
a couple of years now, and they could be a

610
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,519
fifty three point team or they could be an eighty

611
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:55,200
three point team. So it's really hard for me to

612
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,839
tell total wise, So we'll stick with BP in the

613
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,240
situational spot here, plus the two and a half home

614
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:03,119
dog for Martin to u T Martin. This is a

615
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,880
difficult game to come back from off of that game

616
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920
on Tuesday night. If this had been like a six

617
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:12,720
day four day break before they had to play this game,

618
00:31:12,759 --> 00:31:15,200
maybe think a little different, but I'm with them here.

619
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,119
I think it's a good side.

620
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,039
Speaker 1: So I think the reason they played that game on

621
00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:22,279
Tuesday is the Ohio Valley League had a bunch of

622
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:28,480
cancelations from the storm, like Tennessee, specifically Tennessee north Northwest

623
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:31,319
Arkansas like that that area. That area got hit pretty

624
00:31:31,319 --> 00:31:34,400
good with that winner's ice storm. And so I think

625
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,640
that's the reason that that game was put on Tuesday.

626
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,759
I don't believe this league plays on Tuesday typically. So yeah,

627
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:43,559
you throw that extra game in there, and now they've

628
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:45,359
got to go to Little Rock.

629
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: That's not going to be easy. The one thing I

630
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,519
will say from a matchup standpoint that supports the Little

631
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:55,200
Rock side. You know, this is a Little Rock defense.

632
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:02,319
They're gonna play zone and tungat that. Gat Keck I

633
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:04,240
just brutal. I'm bad enough.

634
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I can barely pronounce like normal names, and then I

635
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,640
get thrown that one. But anyway, gat Keck for a

636
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,440
little Rock six' nine kind of the anchor of that zone.

637
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: That they want to.

638
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:17,839
Speaker 1: Play so what he's one of two things is gonna.

639
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:20,160
Happen he's a really good rim, Defender SO i think

640
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,640
you potentially Keep Tennessee martin a little bit off the,

641
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,599
rim which is kind of where they'd prefer to. Be

642
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,640
if they Force Tennessee martin into some, threes that's not

643
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,880
great for. Them three point percentage this Year Tennessee martin

644
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:38,400
three hundred and forty third in the. Country and the

645
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,119
thing is they will take them at. Times so here's

646
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,200
What Tennessee martins will. LIKE i noticed they did this

647
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:47,440
To Eastern illinois a little, bit and it's the way

648
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,720
they sort of ended up winning that. Game Tennessee martin's

649
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:53,480
not afraid to take the, three but then they're just.

650
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:55,039
Speaker 2: Going to crash the glass and try to get the.

651
00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: Rebound so that is like almost how they offset not

652
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,440
being the best three point shooting. Team they'll take the

653
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,640
shot and then they go and get the ball and

654
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,720
they're they're twelve in the country in, rebounding so they're

655
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,039
gonna have a pretty considerable rebounding edge.

656
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:09,839
Speaker 2: Here On Little.

657
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: Rock but, STILL i don't know that that's the best

658
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:16,200
strategy against a team that can kind of defend that's

659
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,359
gonna play a little bit of his. Zone the rebounds

660
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,160
are going to be a little bit more random when

661
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,640
when you're talking about a, zone and so if they're

662
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,960
not shooting it well on the roll, road it's not

663
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,440
like they're going to get to the rim On Gap

664
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,240
tech like he is a very very good rim, defender

665
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,039
an elite shot. Blocker SO i kind of think this

666
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,079
all around could just be a Bad this could just

667
00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:38,480
be a bad. SETUP i Think BP's, right it's just

668
00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:43,759
a bad setup for Ut. Martin and even the first,

669
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:48,119
game which was At Tennessee, martin was still a three

670
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,759
point game played in the low, Fifties so you know

671
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:53,440
you're talking About i'm SURE, bp you liked it better at.

672
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,119
Three it's now two and a. Half but for the

673
00:33:56,119 --> 00:33:57,680
sake of our, parlay two and a half will.

674
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: Work So Little rock plus two and a half That's

675
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,240
Brian power's leg AND i will you know, what as

676
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,200
we talked about that, Game, Rob i'm officially Gonna i'll

677
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,239
officially co sign that that is one hundred percent HOW

678
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,400
i would play that. Game and the only REASON i

679
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,079
Think i'm not gonna play it is BECAUSE i have

680
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:15,639
a whole bunch of other plays for clients today AND

681
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,320

rock luck this. YEAR i don't have their luck factor

683
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:23,960

684
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,679
Speaker 1: Too they've lost a couple of, games, right you know

685
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,599

00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,119
headed out to the. ISLAND i played Cal poly plus

725
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:14,679
twelve and a half for. CLIENTS i do think they've

726
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,199
taken a little bit of. Money so While i'm looking

727
00:36:18,199 --> 00:36:20,360
at seeing what the market price is for, This, Rob

728
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:23,639
why don't you go first and talk To garth about the?

729
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:27,840
Total he, says first half under seventy seven and a.

730
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,880
Half first of, all great way to get yourself to

731
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,639
bed an hour. Earlier just play the first. Half then you,

732
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:34,599
know if you're on The East, coast you're out. Here

733
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:36,679
you're in and out by one. Am he. Said this

734
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,880
has been a trend for a few seasons. Now hawaii

735
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,119
first half home. Unders pretty good defensive. Team, rob what

736
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:46,199
do you Think hawaii Cal poly? Total talk To. GARTH

737
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:50,679
i think you're.

738
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,039
Speaker 3: Muted you're, RIGHT i was. MUTED a really good defensive

739
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:59,280
Team hawaii is and they just got trashed On saturday

740
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,760
night By House State northridge eighty four to. Sixty so

741
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,199
you know that going back home that eighty four is

742
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,519
going to be somewhat of a focus first time around

743
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:12,480
against Cal poly eighty six sixty. Six to hold Cal

744
00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:17,719
poly to sixty six at Cal poly is an, accomplishment

745
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,599
to say the, Least poly shot terrible in that. Game

746
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:24,000
Hama musa two of thirteen from. Three you know the

747
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:28,159
top player, four top shooter for Cal, Poly so two

748
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:29,800
of thirteen is not going to get it. Done eight

749
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,800
of thirty two overall in that. Game first happened that

750
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,559
When garth was forty one to thirty, six seventy, seven

751
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,199
so right on the number you. POSTED i THINK i

752
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,199
saw in your in your comment that it was either

753
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,679
seventy seven or seventy seven and a half probably so just.

754
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,039
Under BUT i would have to somewhat agree with you

755
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,280
here simply based on the fact That, hawaii which is

756
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:58,760
kind of, rooted not even kind, of they are rooted in.

757
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,000
Defense after the eighty four points allowed To, NORTHRIDGE i

758
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:06,079
just feel like that's the focus to start the game.

759
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:08,599
Here let's go out. Here Cal poly is a, team

760
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,119
and believe, me made enough money on them playing overs this,

761
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,119
year all the way back to THE ucla game WHERE

762
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:18,480
i remember Sky clark At halftimes saying we had no

763
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,599
clue that Cal poly could come out and shoot threes

764
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:23,559
the way they. Did they can do that to you

765
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:27,159
if you're not aware of. Them but Obviously hawaii second

766
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:29,440
time around are very aware of. Them they were very

767
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,159
aware of them the first. Time LIKE i, say the

768
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:34,360
three point shooting was held to a minimum in that,

769
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,320
game SO i don't know why that would change Any

770
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:40,880
all that being, Said it's still climbed to seventy seven

771
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,159
first half in that, Game so the number that you

772
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,239
have here could be without the amount of wiggle room

773
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,840
that you would. Like BUT i would counter that real

774
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,679
quick by saying that game was in Cal. Poly this

775
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,480
one's In. Hawaii the trip to the island never. Easy

776
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:02,880
poly gets off to a slow start, here and perhaps

777
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,239
that's the way to. GO i would never discount Cal

778
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,559
poly's team total for a full forty, minutes but if

779
00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:11,480
you're going to discount them at any, point it would

780
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,960
be in a situation like, this Where hawaii is coming

781
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,679
off a terrible defensive performance back on their home. Floor

782
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:23,079
seen the team once already this, year held the team

783
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:26,280
down once already this. Year so the only THING i

784
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,440
think in the liability column for what you posted their

785
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,639
first half total would be the fact that despite poor

786
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:37,280
shooting out of Cal, poly it's still got the seventy

787
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,840
seven the first. Time. AGAIN i think there's reasons to

788
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,400
believe that you could shave about four off of that

789
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,639
and maybe end up with a seventy. Three you could See,

790
00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:49,960
hawaii you, know the money's come toward Cal poly a

791
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,320
little bit here in this, game and maybe Rightfully so

792
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,880
BECAUSE i don't know about, You, adam but asking giving

793
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,880
twelve or twelve and a half to Cal poly the

794
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,639
way they play offense a little bit, outrageous but specifically,

795
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:07,719
isolating zeroing in on first half. TOTAL i Think garth

796
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,639
may be onto something, here AND i didn't realized that

797
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,119
it had been a trend first half on the island

798
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:15,840
last couple of. Years so if you have that in

799
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,360
your back pocket as, well that's a good thing for

800
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,480
the play. Here so won't talk you. Off could only

801
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,199
try and help enhance With hopefully What i've said helps

802
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,119
a little bit. Here, yeah we'll see how it. Goes

803
00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:30,519
it's gonna be probably a pretty good. GAME i think

804
00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:32,599
Cal poly's got a little revenge on their side. Too

805
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:34,480
they didn't like getting beat by twenty on their home

806
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,079
floor against this.

807
00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:40,199
Speaker 1: Team, yeah so that is that's where we'll start my

808
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,119
handicap for this. Game so What i'm gonna do SINCE

809
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:46,159
i got this, EARLY i got this out earlier this.

810
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,760
Morning twelve and a half for, clients that number is,

811
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,119
gone but there's still plenty of eleven and a half's out.

812
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: There i'm gonna put a juice twelve in our.

813
00:40:53,519 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Parlay that, way and What i'm also gonna, Do i'm

814
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,320
gonna Add i'm gonna add minus one twenty juice to

815
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,079
both my leg And brian's. Leg so that, way even

816
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:05,719
if you have to go like as far as minus

817
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000
one thirty to get the same, number you can do.

818
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:10,760
That so but for, clients we got twelve and a

819
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,960
half earlier this. Morning and here's my reasoning WHY i

820
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:15,760
like Cal poly in this. Spot SO i got like

821
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:19,719
four bullet points as to Why i'm gonna stay up

822
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,920
until all hours to see IF i can can win

823
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,159
a bet, tonight rob the first. ONE i didn't play

824
00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:28,760
this the first time, around BUT i remember this game

825
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,599
the first time, around and the REASON i didn't bet

826
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:34,400
it was BECAUSE i missed the number cal polyly got

827
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,199
slammed in that.

828
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: GAME i remember kind of.

829
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:41,639
Speaker 1: Being you, know just getting in too, late missed a

830
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,599
multi point, move not going to chase steam like that

831
00:41:45,159 --> 00:41:47,079
ended up setting it, out and it turned out to

832
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:48,239
be the right move because they got.

833
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,159
Speaker 2: Crushed they lost by.

834
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Twenty they couldn't hit a shot eight Cal poly eight

835
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:56,239
for thirty two from, three and most of those misses

836
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,320
were out of the, gate so they kind of dug.

837
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,519
Themselves IF i remember, correctly they dug themselves a hole

838
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,840
that they couldn't get out, of and then they and

839
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,400
then they started to hit a few threes in the Second,

840
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,599
Oh i'm, Sorry, NO i was thinking of a different

841
00:42:09,639 --> 00:42:12,000
Cal poly. Game this one was close in the first,

842
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:14,320
half and then they went ice cold in the second.

843
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,880
Half couldn't couldn't hit a three in the second. Half

844
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,880
AND i think that's actually off of. MEMORY i was

845
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,400
thinking of a different poly. Game but that is a

846
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,719
little bit of what you're gonna get with Cal. Poly

847
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,159
they can be a little all or nothing if their

848
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,440
shots are, falling and going back to What rob, says

849
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,440
if they're if they're hitting some, shots the way they play,

850
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,039
offense the pace in which they, play they're gonna hang

851
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,440
around against the twelve and a half points spread against

852
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:42,000
probably even some teams that maybe.

853
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 2: Are better Than.

854
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Hawaii so that's encouraging because they can put the ball

855
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,239
in the, basket and if they are with any sort of,

856
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,480
frequency they'll be in this. Game rebounding was pretty even

857
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,719
in the first. Meeting you, know you kind of go

858
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,199
up and. Down the twenty three. Turnovers that's. Bad they

859
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,360
got to clean that up. Again that's even bad for their.

860
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,800
STANDARDS i don't know that like And hawaii is a

861
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,760
very good defensive, team BUT i THINK i think Top

862
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,119
polly if they make a point to like look back

863
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:12,159
and see how the first game, WENT i think that

864
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,800
they can probably go in and, say, hey we got

865
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:15,559
to take better care of the.

866
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 2: Basketball we can't turn it over twenty three. Times that's.

867
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: Insane i'm going to never have a chance if we're

868
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,480
turning the ball over.

869
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: Twenty three times in a.

870
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: Game you, know they did get thirty two points in the, paint, again.

871
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,800
Encouraging they're not just relying totally on chucking, threes ALTHOUGH

872
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,840
i do think you probably see another Game rob where

873
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,519
there's a. THIRTY i think Cal poly's probably taken thirty

874
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:40,079
threes in a game like, this Like hawaii is gonna

875
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,119
more or less keep them off the.

876
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 2: Rim, now two other REASONS i like this.

877
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: Game Isaac johnson For hawaii only played sixteen minutes last.

878
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,559
GAME i don't know his, status but that to me

879
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,360
says maybe it was an. Injury maybe he's you, know

880
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,079
if he's, out that certainly changes. Things johnson's gonna be

881
00:43:57,079 --> 00:43:59,400
one of their better, defenders so that certainly changes. Things

882
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,159
If hawaii ends up without him, HERE i think you

883
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:04,320
actually see this move on the other side of.

884
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 2: Ten if he's confirmed, out this will go off nine

885
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:06,920
and a.

886
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 1: Half, AGAIN i don't know that to be the, case

887
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,920
BUT i do know that if he's confirmed out THAT

888
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:16,039
i think it would it would move even. More the final,

889
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:17,480
thing and this is something That i've said on this

890
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:20,840
show probably seven or eight times this. Year When hawaii

891
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,719
is good and they have a good team and the

892
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,559
perception is they're very, good which is what they are this,

893
00:44:26,639 --> 00:44:31,440
year the tax to back them at home is always too,

894
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,199
big AND i just don't rob you, know this isn't

895
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,719
The hawaii teams that we used to remember in The

896
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,079
whack where they're going out To, Ruston louisiana and then

897
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:44,360
they've got to go to like some other mountainous, town

898
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,239
and now you're going out To. Hawaii The Big west

899
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,239
may travel To hawaii much, easier, Right they're all these

900
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,880
teams are In california once a, year they hop on

901
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,559
the plane to go To.

902
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: Hawaii that's like to, ME i think that the home.

903
00:44:56,679 --> 00:45:00,639
Speaker 1: Court angle in terms of like the spread is way

904
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:03,800
overblown With. Hawaii Now hawaii's fourteen and one at home this.

905
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,679
Year BUT i mean some of these numbers you'll, get

906
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,559
like the quote unquote lesser teams in The big twelve

907
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:12,000
or The big The Big, West i'm, sorry will be

908
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:16,679
like twelve point underdogs out At. Hawaii to, me they've

909
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,519
been off all year, now they've covered a few of,

910
00:45:18,559 --> 00:45:20,599
them but it doesn't mean, that like if you're just

911
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:24,159
looking at this, game like that's still a huge. Number

912
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,840
AND i just don't think that the flight To hawaii

913
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:30,440
and Then hawaii being at home is worth like six,

914
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:32,960
points and it feels like that's what the odds makers

915
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:35,639
make it. Worth so that is What i'm gonna go

916
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,519
with poly plus twelve and a. Half it's a four

917
00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:39,719
percent client play for, me and it will be my

918
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:45,639
leg to. Parlay speaking of, which do you? See it's

919
00:45:45,679 --> 00:45:49,079
your See i'll either go to one more donation or

920
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,519
you can give your leg out right.

921
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: Now it's up to. You if you want six more

922
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,280
minutes to think about.

923
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 3: It, yeah let me go, now because all, RIGHT i.

924
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,199
CAN'T i can't talk myself out of. This i've tried

925
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,480
twenty different ways to talk myself out of, this mainly

926
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:09,199
because of, price AND i just don't think that price

927
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,800
is going to bother me, here And i'm going to

928
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,840
go back To william And mary And. Campbell you, KNOW

929
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,159
i wanted to isolate this and just Play william And

930
00:46:20,199 --> 00:46:22,719
mary over their team total of eighty four and a.

931
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,239
Half but the MORE i look at, it the MORE

932
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,360
i want to Include campbell. Again you guys all remember

933
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,679
the first game Where campbell went absolutely crazy and Blitzed

934
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,880
william And mary right out of the shoot. There in that,

935
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,760
GAME Dj smith was. Incredible william And mary only scored

936
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,880
eleven points in the first ten minutes of that game

937
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:50,519
and found their way to ninety six against this. Team

938
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,440
defense is optional With campbell for. Sure, offenses everything paces.

939
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,840
Everything it's the same With william And mary for the most.

940
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,079
Part that was the reason WHY i wanted to Isolate

941
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:05,679
william And mary, here their inter revented. Situation they over

942
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,360
the course of the last thirty minutes scored eighty five,

943
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,559
points which is more than you're asked to score here

944
00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:14,199
tonight in forty. Minutes SO i leave to chat with

945
00:47:14,199 --> 00:47:17,400
that because that's a possible angle here as. Well but

946
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,000
one sixty eight and a half gets my attention a

947
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:25,079
little bit more simply because of the outing That campbell

948
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:28,119
had On saturday Against. CHARLESTON i can't ignore the fact

949
00:47:28,199 --> 00:47:35,239
that they were, brutal offensively, brutal And i'm such a

950
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,400
bounce back regression to the mean type of handicapper THAT

951
00:47:39,679 --> 00:47:42,960
i can't Ignore campbell going two of twenty one from.

952
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,079
THREE i can't Ignore Dj smith going one of thirteen from.

953
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,920
Three that game was at. Home they're at home, again

954
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:54,199
and you just don't expect two home performances back to

955
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,000
back like that out of a team with the offensive

956
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,920
firepower that they, have and especially against a defense that

957
00:48:00,039 --> 00:48:04,280
puts up very little. Resistance So i'm going to Include

958
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,400
campbell in. This, guys, again if you want to Play

959
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:10,519
william And mary team total only over eighty four and a,

960
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:13,079
HALF i will probably get there. Myself i'll probably have

961
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:15,639
to play this thing two, ways BUT i think my

962
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:17,559
primary is going to be the full game over one

963
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:19,239
sixty eight and a. Half the game we got two

964
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,800
hundred the first, time two hundred with one team scoring

965
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,360
eleven in a ten minute. Period are they thirty three

966
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:32,199
points worse this time, around and with all the circumstances surrounding,

967
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:34,159
THIS i just don't think. SO i Think William mary's

968
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:37,559
got a big revenge angle gear to come in and

969
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,840
do what they couldn't do the first time at. HOME

970
00:48:41,079 --> 00:48:43,480
i Think campbell's got a big bounce back in. Them

971
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,599
charleston's a funny. Team. Adam let me just divert for

972
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:49,119
half a second, here Because charleston we talked about the

973
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:55,039
injury To, hickman and since he's gone, down it seems

974
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:57,599
to me Like Chris mack has decided we're going to

975
00:48:57,639 --> 00:49:00,239
shorten possessions from now. On we're not going to play.

976
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,320
Fat they played a sixty two to fifty seven game

977
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,400
With campbell the other. Day they just absolutely put the

978
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,239
brakes on that, game And campbell couldn't make. Shots and

979
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,719
that's not What William mary will. Do Brian rohl's not

980
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,119
gonna put the brakes on any. Game it's gonna be

981
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:17,559
all gas both. SIDES i think we'll get the. Opportunities you,

982
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:20,159
know there were seventy three free throws in that first

983
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,119
meeting Between william And mary And. Campbell it just goes

984
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:27,239
to show that the lane is wide open for these

985
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,159
guys most of the. Time and the and ones were

986
00:49:31,159 --> 00:49:33,360
in effect in that. Game files to the, rim we're

987
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,320
in effect in that. GAME i don't know what changes.

988
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,800
Here the characteristics of these teams don't, change and SO

989
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,639
i would expect that this game finds its way to

990
00:49:43,679 --> 00:49:46,760
one seventy, four and we're looking at one sixty eight

991
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,280
and a. HALF i, MEAN i could see an eighty

992
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,880
nine to eighty seven, finals something in that, range eighty,

993
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,679
eight eighty, seven et, cetera et, cetera which is well

994
00:49:53,679 --> 00:49:55,280
over what we need to get. Here so for me

995
00:49:56,199 --> 00:49:58,639
final leg of the, Parlay i'm gonna go full. Game

996
00:49:58,679 --> 00:50:03,239
i'll Include campbell here just because of what happened to

997
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,320
them On saturday and thinking that in a back to

998
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,320
back home game they'll do better here against this style

999
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,599
team over one sixty eight and a. Half full Game,

1000
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,280
Campbell william And, MARY.

1001
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: I think you're VERY i think you're very smart to Include,

1002
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:22,360
campbell And i'll so you AND i have talked About

1003
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,599
Brian earl and how he's gonna play this. Style he's

1004
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:28,639
gonna play his game pretty much no matter. What he's

1005
00:50:28,639 --> 00:50:31,199
gonna play his game even if his players are not

1006
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,000
fit to play. It we saw him do that At.

1007
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,360
Cornell you, know there was A i've referenced this on

1008
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,320
the show a couple of. Times there was a stretch

1009
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,840
At cornell where he had a really good team and

1010
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,400
he almost ran them into the ground like they ran

1011
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,599
out of, gas because they were not they were not

1012
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,159
fit to play his style for the course of a whole.

1013
00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:50,199
Season i'm not saying that that's the case here at,

1014
00:50:50,199 --> 00:50:52,840
all but WHAT i will, note we now have Two

1015
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:56,599
this will be the third time in conference play That

1016
00:50:56,679 --> 00:51:00,639
william And mary is playing a repeat. Team, okay and

1017
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,920
the first two times you got the exact same game.

1018
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,119
Twice you got the exact same game. Twice when they

1019
00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:10,519
PLAYED Unc, wilmington you got the exact same game. Twice

1020
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,400
when they Played, elon you got the exact same game.

1021
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,679
Twice elon zoned.

1022
00:51:14,679 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 2: Them they, could, they they and They it was the

1023
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,320
same result in both.

1024
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,119
Speaker 1: Games they Beat wilmington, twice same exact. Game they lost

1025
00:51:23,159 --> 00:51:24,760
To elon, twice same exact.

1026
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: Game, elon you, know put them in a zone and

1027
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,400
over the weekend they couldn't buy a.

1028
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,559
Speaker 1: Three elon just sat they sat in that. Zone they've

1029
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:35,480
they've sort of figured out that they can still play

1030
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:39,199
zone Without matthew Van coleman there And william And.

1031
00:51:39,199 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 2: Mary i'll pull it up real. Quick Rob in that

1032
00:51:41,639 --> 00:51:44,760
game was six for twenty four from, three and it

1033
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,280
was the difference in the game couldn't buy.

1034
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,039
Speaker 1: One so if you subscribe to the theory That william

1035
00:51:50,079 --> 00:51:51,960
And mary is just gonna play the same exact, game

1036
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:56,280
AND i don't really you, KNOW i don't really see

1037
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,440
Why campbell would would change anything Because campbell dropped one

1038
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,199
oh four first meeting in. One so if those two

1039
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,000
things are, true then you probably have another game that's

1040
00:52:07,039 --> 00:52:10,000
in the nineties Because campbell's not going to change, anything

1041
00:52:10,199 --> 00:52:11,599
And william And mary is not going to change.

1042
00:52:11,599 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 2: Anything SO i think you're right to include.

1043
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,599
Speaker 1: Both AND i think you're right that it's like any

1044
00:52:15,679 --> 00:52:18,440
number is probably good here because this one's probably got

1045
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,840
one hundred and eighty points on the low, end it

1046
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,639
could have. MORE i think you're gonna see both teams

1047
00:52:23,679 --> 00:52:26,960
and The knight's going to be, again probably the same

1048
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,639
game we saw the first time these two teams.

1049
00:52:28,679 --> 00:52:32,039
Speaker 3: Play, yeah and to your point about getting zoned By

1050
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:35,480
elon going six of twenty four from, three they still

1051
00:52:35,639 --> 00:52:39,679
managed to get the seventy eight points in that, game which,

1052
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,800
is you, know if you make a couple more, threes

1053
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,960
you're at eighty. Eight and in our, case LIKE i,

1054
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,559
SAID i foresee something like eighty LIKE i, say eighty

1055
00:52:48,599 --> 00:52:51,000
eight eighty seis something in that range for both. Sides

1056
00:52:51,039 --> 00:52:53,400
so one sixty eight and a half looked a little bit.

1057
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,400
Shay you know, what we saw one eighty five and

1058
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,480
a half last night From Alabama arkansas and we knew

1059
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,840
what it was going to, be and it just tore

1060
00:53:02,039 --> 00:53:06,119
through that number in a. Flash they're at over one

1061
00:53:06,199 --> 00:53:09,039
hundred in the first, half SO i think we're probably

1062
00:53:09,079 --> 00:53:10,599
looking at the same type of thing.

1063
00:53:10,679 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: Here all, right let's head back to the. Chat we've

1064
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:20,760
got time for one more og betts with a. Donation appreciate,

1065
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:21,519
that and yeah we.

1066
00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: CAN anyc basketball is always welcome on this.

00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:39,599
i watch a good amount OF anyc basketball throughout it

1071
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,320
and it's a great league to, uh there's always edges

1072
00:53:42,519 --> 00:53:47,239
in this. League so we og bes bets says Og

1073
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,920
BETS LTx, SAYS i don't think li you can score

1074
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,920
that much to lay nine on the road Against Saint.

1075
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,199
Speaker 2: Francis so let's talk about that for a. Second this

1076
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,079
will Be i'm.

1077
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: Sure Long Island universe is thrilled that this will be

1078
00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:03,559
the last time they have to go To De Gaulle

1079
00:54:03,559 --> 00:54:08,199
arena out In, LORETTO. Pa this is this is the

1080
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,559
Longest bush trip that they have to make in conference

1081
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:14,119
play BECAUSE i believe they. Fly they're not busting To.

1082
00:54:14,199 --> 00:54:17,679
Chicago lu would fly To chicago to Play Chicago. State

1083
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,480
so for years this is always you, know the last

1084
00:54:21,559 --> 00:54:24,960
couple of years prior to this, Season Saint francis has

1085
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,440
been very good in this league and this has always

1086
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:28,760
kind of been like a little bit.

1087
00:54:28,639 --> 00:54:30,119
Speaker 2: Of a house of horrors for L.

1088
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:32,039
Speaker 1: Iu you have to go all the way out there

1089
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,079
and play a very Good Saint francis.

1090
00:54:35,079 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: Team Rob. Veno they put their band at mid. COURT

1091
00:54:38,599 --> 00:54:40,360
i love. That first of, All Saint.

1092
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: Francis Saint francis is a top five like extremely nice

1093
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,199
To trig when he went there. School they gave me

1094
00:54:47,199 --> 00:54:50,639
merch they, had they were giving me, snacks like they

1095
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:53,599
fed me. Dinner like it was like they really you,

1096
00:54:53,639 --> 00:54:58,119
Know i'll always be appreciative of the Way Saint francis

1097
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,320
was WHEN i went there last, year got to see

1098
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,679
the team that ended up in THE Ncaa tournament last,

1099
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,079
year and it's sad to see them leave the ranks

1100
00:55:06,079 --> 00:55:08,000
Of division, one BUT i kind of understand from a

1101
00:55:08,039 --> 00:55:11,960
money standpoint why they're going to do. That so last

1102
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,559
season IN d one For Saint, francis it'll be the

1103
00:55:14,639 --> 00:55:18,079
last Time Long island you has to go. There here's

1104
00:55:18,079 --> 00:55:20,280
a couple numbers for, You, rob and we'll get into the.

1105
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,880
Spread L iu is fourteen and thirty all time at

1106
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,480
The Gaul, arena so clearly that road trip has has

1107
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,079
not been kind to L. Iu they've lost three in

1108
00:55:34,119 --> 00:55:38,079
a row and head Coach Rod strickland has never won.

1109
00:55:38,119 --> 00:55:41,199
There rod The, God rod The God strickland has never won.

1110
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,360
There who's who's done a tremendous job to turn around

1111
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,679
THIS lu? PROGRAM a great follow FOR nec. Basketball Nelson,

1112
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:52,719
castillo who covers this, team tweeted this out. Earlier winning

1113
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,480
in this league is so important because THE nec still

1114
00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,679
does a campus site, Tournament SO lu has every sort

1115
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:05,440
of reason to like desperately want that number one spot

1116
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,639
because it's probably gonna mean they host the championship game

1117
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,000
and Lemoy and In Central connecticut are right on their

1118
00:56:11,039 --> 00:56:13,119
on their, tail on their tail right, now so they

1119
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:16,719
can't afford a bad. Loss they might be Without Shadrick

1120
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,800
lassau here, though and that is very important in my.

1121
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,639
Opinion he's worth something to the. Number so if if

1122
00:56:23,679 --> 00:56:26,079
Og betts is saying that he would would take the

1123
00:56:26,119 --> 00:56:29,159
points and and he he'd play for a closer game,

1124
00:56:29,199 --> 00:56:32,239
HERE i got to agree with him because none of

1125
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,559
those things THAT i just said makes it a favorable

1126
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:38,280
scenario for l I u And Saint francis is just

1127
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,199
kind of playing with house.

1128
00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 2: Money. Rob they're only IN d one for a couple more.

1129
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,519
Months there's no.

1130
00:56:43,639 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: Expectations they probably just want to finish out the. YEAR

1131
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,639
i do believe they could go to the they're eligible

1132
00:56:48,639 --> 00:56:49,320
to go to THE ncaa.

1133
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: TOURNAMENT i.

1134
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,039
Speaker 1: BELIEVE i had to double check on, that BUT i

1135
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:56,320
don't see why they wouldn't Be So, Yeah Saint francis

1136
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,519
plus the points kind of makes some sense.

1137
00:56:58,559 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 2: Here what do you think about?

1138
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 3: THIS i would. Agree i'm just staring at the clock

1139
00:57:03,679 --> 00:57:05,760
ten fifty. SEVEN i want to throw another game out

1140
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,679
really quick here at him that we didn't we.

1141
00:57:07,679 --> 00:57:09,679
Speaker 1: Can if you have nothing to add to that. ONE

1142
00:57:09,679 --> 00:57:11,079
i just want to touch on that because we got

1143
00:57:11,079 --> 00:57:12,519
a donation for. It, so, yeah if you want to

1144
00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:13,440
go to a different, game go.

1145
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,119
Speaker 3: Ahead, yeah let's just go. QUICK i want to talk

1146
00:57:16,119 --> 00:57:17,719
about WHAT i considered to be the game of the

1147
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,480
night here Cal State. Northridge you See Santa, barbara and

1148
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,440
you know the other night we talked ABOUT i think you, Were,

1149
00:57:24,639 --> 00:57:27,519
yeah you were At George, Washington George, mason, right and

1150
00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:32,320
we were talking About Raphael castro and his targeted return

1151
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,800
date didn't happen because he didn't even come back AGAINST,

1152
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:40,880
vcu but Mirror little targeted this, date this game Against

1153
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,159
northridge to come back. Tonight now you see a big

1154
00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:45,679
drop in the total here from sixty two to one

1155
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,480
fifty seven and a, half which either is a little

1156
00:57:48,519 --> 00:57:51,480
bit of knowledge or a little bit of a fake

1157
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,199
to people perceiving that maybe he won't go regardless if he,

1158
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,039
goes or not to me in this. Game with that

1159
00:58:00,239 --> 00:58:02,400
dropped to one fifty seven and a, half perhaps you're

1160
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,480
looking at a little bit of an over. Here they've

1161
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,960
played once Already northridge got the better Of Santa, barbara

1162
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,599
so this is a little bit of A Santa barbara

1163
00:58:10,639 --> 00:58:14,719
revenge type. Game with little you'd probably have to pay

1164
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,159
more than the three and a half that is currently

1165
00:58:17,159 --> 00:58:19,800
being asked for for sure if he gets announced. In

1166
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,880
but LIKE i say that injury news of mirror little

1167
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,800
coming back, HERE i think you'd probably want to get

1168
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,480
involved earlier rather than later in this game BECAUSE i

1169
00:58:30,559 --> 00:58:32,840
think the prices are pretty good at this point in.

1170
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,920
Time Adam northridge In Santa barbara the two best offensive

1171
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,599
teams in this. League not really good defensively either. One

1172
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,960
and despite the fact That Santa barbara would like to

1173
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,880
play with some moderate tempo and the first time around

1174
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,960
it was held down to one thirty, NINE i Think

1175
00:58:51,079 --> 00:58:53,519
northridge will try and switch that up, here so big.

1176
00:58:53,559 --> 00:58:55,360
GAME i just wanted to get that out there for,

1177
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,360
Everybody Northridge Santa. BARBARA i think we're total is. Concerned

1178
00:58:59,519 --> 00:59:01,880
you might want to get in earlier rather than. Later

1179
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,559
if you're an, overplayer.

1180
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,719
Speaker 1: Without a doubt that number expects little to be, out

1181
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,039
And i'm the same with like. That three and a

1182
00:59:11,079 --> 00:59:17,079
half on the side is totally has little out priced,

1183
00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:20,159
in like the bookmakers are pricing that with him out.

1184
00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:23,559
Speaker 2: If he, plays which he. Could he's battling a hand.

1185
00:59:23,599 --> 00:59:25,719
Speaker 1: Injury he's tried to play through, IT i believe a

1186
00:59:25,719 --> 00:59:28,119
couple of times already he could give it a go.

1187
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:31,079
TONIGHT i think it would Help Santa barbara tremendously if he,

1188
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:33,599
does because he's a great, defender and you have to

1189
00:59:33,639 --> 00:59:37,239
Defend northridge right like they've That's northridge is not going

1190
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,039
to strike fear into an opponent on the defensive, end

1191
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:43,880
but they can. SCORE i think this would go off

1192
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,960
six or six and a half If little is confirmed.

1193
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,880
In if he's, not it probably stays three and a

1194
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,239
half and you're still probably good Because, rob what do

1195
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:52,639
we talk?

1196
00:59:52,679 --> 00:59:57,119
Speaker 2: About northridge has that great shooting. Backdrop at, home all of.

1197
00:59:57,079 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Their all of their numbers are juiced there's splits are

1198
01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:03,280
juiced up because of where they, play in my, Opinion

1199
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:05,639
so you put them on the road against The Santa

1200
01:00:05,639 --> 01:00:08,559
barbara team that's, very very good at, HOME i, believe

1201
01:00:08,559 --> 01:00:11,119
one of the best in terms of like cover margin

1202
01:00:11,159 --> 01:00:13,639
and against the spread on their home floor in this.

1203
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,039
Speaker 2: League, yeah you gotta you gotta Like Santa barbara here

1204
01:00:17,079 --> 01:00:20,719
in my. Opinion so, yeah those are good points a little.

1205
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,760
Bit The, gauchos this has been your squad all.

1206
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,320

1207
01:00:25,679 --> 01:00:27,559
