1 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: All right, everyone, welcome in. It is Wednesday. 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,439 Speaker 2: It is time for full Court Press and Rob, I've 3 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:17,079 gotten very positive feedback overall about the fact that we 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,359 start the show by recapping the day before. Apparently a 5 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,559 lot of shows don't do that, and so I've gotten 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,760 good feedback, but it has also opened me up to 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,839 h I forget who said it, but I thought it 8 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:33,000 was funny. Someone commented they were like, Trig, we are 9 00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:36,560 on your ass in the morning for NJIT, And I said, 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,320 all right, you know what, if we're going to do 11 00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:41,520 the recap, it's you know that we got to talk 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,560 about the good and the bad. Certainly the bad for 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,840 me last night was NJIT. They got blown out and 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,200 it cost us our parlay for the show. 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: The good for me I went three and two. 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: I had five four percent, and I even sort of 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,600 noted that, like, you know, I'm kind of going to 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,039 play them all road mode right now. Rob, I feel 19 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,039 like my edge is sort of as big as it's 20 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:03,960 going to be for the rest of the year this week, 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,319 next week. You even talked about that a little bit yesterday. 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,079 So I made five bets. There were all four percent plays, 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,319 and I went and I went three and two. My 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,239 big takeaway from yesterday, and I want you to chime 25 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,319 in on this, so I'll sort of finish my thought 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,040 here and then we'll go to you. My big takeaway 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,239 was my two losses NJIT and Mississippi State were spots 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,480 where I was almost trying to play the locker room 29 00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,799 psychologist game, if you will, trying to figure out how 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,159 much motivation there was on a certain side, and ultimately 31 00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,400 I went against two teams that were the better team 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,799 that I thought would be maybe less motivated in a 33 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:44,879 certain spot against the number, of course, right against the 34 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,159 number we're betting against the number that's the equalizer, and 35 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:51,400 it did not work out. Whereas in the conference tournaments 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,000 and the games that were more just like your traditional 37 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:56,840 game where both teams had something at stake, I hit 38 00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:00,959 all of those tousan UMass and Green Bay three and two. 39 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:03,879 Speaker 1: For me, How was your night last night? And what 40 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:04,959 do you have to make of that? 41 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,039 Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things. A. 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 4: We didn't win the parlay, but we had the opportunity 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840 to choose Mississippi State, and we waited that by taking 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Alabama over that game over, so that worked out these 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,240 spot plays. I think we talked about it a lot, Adam, 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,759 these situational spot plays, I feel like they used to 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,000 work more often years ago than they do nowadays. Not 48 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:37,560 sure why, Thomas Howke I mean and your Mississippi State play, 49 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:43,520 Let's just say that you actually did project that somebody 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,759 would sit, maybe multiples, but some a starter would sit 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,680 at least and Thomas Hawk sat and Florida got off 52 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:54,319 to a miserable start, and Todd Golden in the post 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,599 game even reflected on that. He said basically that without 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,719 he calls them Tommy. Without Tommy in there, the defensive 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,039 rotations were something we weren't really used to. We had 56 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680 to settle in, et cetera, et cetera. And credit to 57 00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:14,960 them in other than being your final home game, not 58 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,280 a game that necessarily needed to be a blowout, but man, 59 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680 the second half, they just came out and showed that 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,039 they're a step a step ahead of the rest of 61 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,319 the SEC. So from that perspective of meaningless game situational 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,159 plays to meaning full games, I do get where. 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,759 Speaker 3: You're coming from there. 64 00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:35,919 Speaker 4: I just feel like these situations I've tried to kind 65 00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:40,159 of pick and choose on those. My night last night 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,319 was four and one, so combined for those who are 67 00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:48,280 mad about Nji T you guys are the ones that 68 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,439 were mad about Eastern Washington the night before. 69 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:52,479 Speaker 3: Somebody in our comments section was like, a you're wreck 70 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,560 five team parlay with e WU. 71 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: I'm like, come on, man, we're a combined seven and three. 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,479 Speaker 3: Last night. If you purchased. 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,919 Speaker 4: The CBB Double Fire Powerful Court Press package went seven 74 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,800 and three all different plays. Mine were all totals, Adam, 75 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,919 I'm trying to look mine up so I can just 76 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,319 tell you really quick. 77 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: What we had last night as far as winners were concerned. 78 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,079 Speaker 4: We'll take a couple of seconds to recap here, because 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,360 that's what the people want. I had in order for win. 80 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839 Of course, Oklahoma, which we released here on the show. 81 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:29,079 Oklahoma did get. The revenge on Missouri was pretty easy too, 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,959 and to the eye test real quick, there is a 83 00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:36,519 little off base or or off topic. Oklahoma looks a 84 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,079 lot better right now that they're winning games. His team 85 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560 was playing hard and couldn't win. Now they're winning games, 86 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,319 William and Mary went back to the well with them. 87 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,720 Team total over nice and easy. They got to ninety 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,720 four Grand Canyon air Force. Air Force games over have 89 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,160 been a gold mine this year went or went well, 90 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:57,199 went about six or seven points over. I'll say Vandy 91 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,639 team total over against Mississippi. Mississipp you have been giving 92 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,279 it up like water for the most part. 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: They get there. 94 00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: That's four and o and the loser Illinois, And that 95 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,959 was the five dollars Tuesday play. Adam Illinois TEA two 96 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,399 and a half, get to eighty, so you. 97 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:12,959 Speaker 3: Go four to o. 98 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,639 Speaker 4: But the game the five dollars play that you feature 99 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,040 doesn't get there. But they were all played for the 100 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:19,920 same amount, so you get a four and one other. 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did pick the correct I guess five dollars 102 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:27,360 play yesterday. That was Green Bay for me. Listen, I 103 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:30,319 had good numbers with nj I T and Mississippi State. 104 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: N G I T went off four. 105 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:34,879 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll stay on the topic of that Florida 106 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,920 game for a second. 107 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,439 Speaker 1: Because we're going to talk. 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,879 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you right now, our feature game today 109 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,279 is going to be Texas Arkansas. 110 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: But for me, a lot of my opinions are in 111 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,160 the conference tournament. 112 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: So you know, just just know that that's where I'm 113 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,600 sort of spending most of my time right now. That 114 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,399 being said, let's talk to Texas Arkansas because Rob Well, 115 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,000 I want to go back to Florida. I was at 116 00:05:57,079 --> 00:06:03,040 Arkansas's Arkansas's most recent game on Saturday night in Gainesville, 117 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,319 and so sitting there watching that game, and I couldn't 118 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,680 help but think man like Arkansas, especially as we got 119 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,399 toward the end of the first half and the beginning 120 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:17,839 of the second half, team. 121 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: Just looked very, very tired. 122 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: Rob like a team that like he almost thought I 123 00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:26,399 was watching. I was just watching John Calipari for a while, 124 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:27,839 like when you you know, when you're in the building, 125 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,920 you have the luxury of watching looking at and watching 126 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,680 whatever you want to watch. And I really felt like 127 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,279 he was doing his absolute best to get kicked out 128 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,399 of that game, like he desperately wanted to get sent 129 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,759 back to the locker room. I'm shocked he let a 130 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:43,800 cuff stay in as long as he did, so I 131 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,079 guess the point I'm trying to make here is it's 132 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,360 almost like a boxing match. And Todd Golden commented on 133 00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:53,480 this after the game. I stayed for the ceremony. 134 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,079 Speaker 1: Florida cut the nets down. 135 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,639 Speaker 2: Won the SEC tournament or the SEC regular season, and 136 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,600 they cut the nets down. They had this big celebration 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,720 and I stayed there to listen to Golden address the crowd, 138 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,920 and he even Golden's also becoming one of my favorite 139 00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,519 coaches where he compliments you even though he just beat 140 00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,160 you by forty, like it's almost like backhanded. I wonder 141 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,079 if it's something that's probably why Caliperry doesn't. 142 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,959 Speaker 1: Like him very much. 143 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,519 Speaker 2: But he basically said like Arkansas had more energy out 144 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,079 of the gate, and they did. They Arkansas actually led 145 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,519 that game sixteen to eleven, maybe first eight minutes, eight 146 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,319 to ten minutes. I think Golden called a time out 147 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,199 after Arkansas took a five point lead, and then the 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160 rest of the game it was all Florida to the 149 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,399 point where almost like you saw last night, out of 150 00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:43,120 Florida go down ten, regroup and just destroy a team. 151 00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,160 But I want to go back to Arkansas specifically because 152 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,079 to me, they looked tired, they looked fatigue, They had 153 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,240 just played a couple of games prior in the nineties 154 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,600 rob and then they had to deal with Florida. Who Florida. 155 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680 It seems like on their worst day they're still going 156 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,759 to beat you by twenty at this point. So my 157 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,439 question to you, because I'm really I want to love 158 00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,480 Arkansas here, I've been very, very high on this team. 159 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,639 I thought six and a half or seven was a 160 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:11,959 little light. But I can't get over the fact that 161 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,360 this team might be limping a little bit into the 162 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,560 finish line of the regular season. And then Darius Acuff 163 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,160 might be limping literally because he's been dealing with a 164 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,439 foot injury. So what do you make of all of that? 165 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,639 And do you have an angle in Texas Arkansas for us? 166 00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, the one thing for Arkansas that was problematic is 167 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,519 the fact that they just don't have the front line 168 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,519 to match with Florida. So you can get worn down 169 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,879 pretty quickly trying to use one hundred percent effort and 170 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,440 just continue to get beaten to boards or beaten up 171 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,480 physically underneath that, like you're not used to with Texas. 172 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,799 Vokatitis is one thing, but it's not Florida's front line. 173 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,519 So perhaps this becomes more of a you know, a 174 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000 i'll call it finesse, but more fluid game for Arkans 175 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,399 in this particular matchup. It's a couple of things here, Adam, 176 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,759 really quick here, I was actually I guess you were 177 00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:08,919 saying your number came out at six and a half or. 178 00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: That was what you saw for a line. 179 00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Oh no, my number, My number is like ten and 180 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:13,759 a half. 181 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: Personally, I saw I saw a couple six and a 182 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,799 halfs and then mostly seven. I was when it got 183 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:23,360 to six and a half at a couple of books, 184 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,679 I was thinking about jumping in with Arkansas, but no, 185 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:28,840 personally I'm out like ten and a half here on Arkansas. 186 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 4: Okay, So a couple of things that don't favor Texas 187 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,879 here for sure. And again I won't go into the 188 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:39,320 meaningful stuff where seedings are concerned. Rust assure these games, 189 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:42,759 these last two games for almost every SEC team is 190 00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:45,919 meaningful as to where they're going to be positioned inside 191 00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,440 the conference. Certain last night thing shifted once again whence 192 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:52,200 Oklahoma beat Missouri. Missouri fell out of that top four 193 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,440 and now are five. So things are gonna shift in 194 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120 the SEC. Every game is important at this point in time. 195 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,200 Arkansas does not turn the ball over and Texas doesn't 196 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,120 turn you over. Meaning behind that is you know Arkansas 197 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,000 is going to get just about every possession when they 198 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:07,519 have the ball. 199 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,039 Speaker 3: It's going to be a shot for. 200 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,639 Speaker 4: Arkansas, which is good news if you like the razorbackside. 201 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,039 Arkansas doesn't really get to the free throw line. But Texas, 202 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,559 what did Sean Miller tell us a month and a 203 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,639 half ago. We fouled like crazy and they still do. 204 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,279 They're fourteenth in the league and putting opponents on the 205 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,279 free throw line. That's pretty bad. So maybe Arkansas gets 206 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,240 to the line a little more than normal in this 207 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:37,480 particular case. Texas shoots it pretty well from the interior 208 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,360 inside the arc. Arkansas doesn't defend that. There's a lot 209 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,759 of things here that add up to over for me, 210 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,600 and again, of course, I'm talking about it from a 211 00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:48,679 total's perspective. Now, this number came out fairly high, one 212 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,440 sixty five and a half, bit down to one sixty four. 213 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: There is a one sixty. 214 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 4: Three and a half out there, and that's probably more 215 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,039 like where it should have opened, probably should have opened 216 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,759 into one sixty three range rather in the MIDI but 217 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,919 I know oddsmakers want to you know, force over betters 218 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,960 immediately to pay at tax just about everything. 219 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: When you know you have offensive teams. 220 00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 4: I still you know it's not Arkansas Alabama, and I 221 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,919 think we found out in a couple of games this 222 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,440 past week where even though there's a lot of intensity 223 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,720 or there's a lot of effort and energy placed into 224 00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:32,799 winning this game. It doesn't always correlate into defense. You 225 00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:35,559 still have to play defense, and I don't know. This 226 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,720 game to me just sets up as more of a 227 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:43,000 way wide open floor, guys making shots a lot of 228 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,200 I think Arkansas will rim penetration, will get them to 229 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,879 the foul line against this particular team. I think Texas 230 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:50,879 can do a little bit of the same, could get 231 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:54,480 handsy in this case. I think in the end you 232 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,120 could see some absolute extension of this game. Even though 233 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,799 it's priced it's seven and a half, I still think 234 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720 it might be a shade closer than that. Two minutes 235 00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:07,600 left Texas going to fight here. For me, it's probably 236 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,879 going to be a look toward the over Adam. If 237 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,240 I had to play the game, I think Arkansas is 238 00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:14,919 the better team, play the truth, and I think Arkansas 239 00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:19,600 is way more, way more capable in Bud Walton, which 240 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:24,200 we've highlighted before, of the devastating runs so to speak, 241 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,200 the devastating fourteen to two punch that just puts us 242 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,879 ahead and you can't catch. 243 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 3: Us at that point in time. 244 00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 4: So I think I would still lean Arkansas at this 245 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,120 price tag, but over if it gets down to one 246 00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:38,320 sixty three, it's probably worth the play for me. 247 00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, no one, no one ever got tired when 248 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,080 the ball was in their hands. 249 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: Rob, That's what you know. 250 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 2: If you're tired, that that shows up digging in on 251 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,960 the defensive end, not when you're with the ball trying 252 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,200 to go to the rim my thing. Like, I guess 253 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,480 the only thing keeping me off Arkansas because I do 254 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,679 have a pretty strong lean toward the razorbacks here. 255 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: My number suggests A should have played it already. 256 00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: I just I was certain that Caliperio would have just 257 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,600 taken the starters out with like fifteen minutes to go. 258 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:09,960 But it was so clear that they were not getting 259 00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,759 back into that game. Like I actually couldn't believe how 260 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,879 long he kept acuff out there, and like, you know, 261 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,159 knowing that he's been dealing with a foot injury, he's 262 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360 even said like he's even come out and said like 263 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,200 I'm playing hurt, Like you know, but that's I want 264 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,120 to be on the floor. Like if if I knew 265 00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:30,240 that Arkansas was showing up full strength, wasn't banged up 266 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,840 at all, I would expect them to run Texas out 267 00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:35,639 of the gym. The home road splits have been going 268 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:37,840 on for years with Arkansas, so we know that in 269 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,440 Fayetteville they're they're worthy of that bump against you know, 270 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,000 on the number. And then I'll go back to the 271 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,320 point you mean about vocatitis not being like you know 272 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,120 that that's not going to be something that like what 273 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,759 he's in there, it certainly matters. But if he were 274 00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:55,120 to get in a foul trouble, they what's behind him 275 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,440 is is something that that's where Arkansas's run probably comes. 276 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,480 Like if they can get vocatite in some of that 277 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:02,840 front court in the file trouble, that's where you can 278 00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:04,840 see him hit the kill shot if you will. I 279 00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:08,200 forget who was as Evamiyah that tracks the kill shots. 280 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,519 I forget someone does. But the point is that ten 281 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,960 oh knockout punch run. Yeah at Hall of Arkansas might 282 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,759 have one or two of those, and you know, just 283 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,360 to you want to just you know, the final sort 284 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,919 of thing for this handicap for me, I know Cali 285 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,159 Perry was not happy, and you know when it's a 286 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,200 guy like Caliperry or a guy like Rick Patino who 287 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,200 he saw the other night, and your team just gets 288 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,480 dusted like typically you can't wait to get back out 289 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,879 on the floor. And you have to wonder you saw 290 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,519 Saint John's similar spread range six. I think they actually 291 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:46,320 went off seven and a half against Villanova after they 292 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,960 just got slapped around by Yukon, come out and win 293 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,440 by like. 294 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: Thirty or forty. 295 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's going to be that drastic here, 296 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,320 but this certainly feels like it's like a spot where 297 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440 like you know, like Caliperry's even he's even talked about 298 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,399 like his players not letting him coach them as much 299 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,799 as he would like. That's usually translation they don't have 300 00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,080 the thick skin that that I think they need so 301 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,799 I can really lay into them right like that's you know, 302 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:14,279 those are these old school guys like Caliperi and Patino 303 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,159 coach that way. I think Arkansas responds, this is probably 304 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,440 it's not gonna be my parlay leg It hasn't been 305 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,759 bet for clients yet, but I'm certainly thinking about it, 306 00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:28,159 and this is one that may be an ad for 307 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:30,759 me as the day. As the day goes on, I 308 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,960 really like the razorbacks here, you know. 309 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,039 Speaker 4: Very typical of John Calipari and his mindset. 310 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,799 Speaker 3: Adam is. 311 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,399 Speaker 4: You know what if you're gonna go out there and 312 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,799 be lazy and you're getting beat by twenty, I'm gonna 313 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,679 leave you out there. You're not coming to the bench. 314 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,320 You're gonna stay out there and you're gonna get beat 315 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,480 by third, you know what I mean. He does that sometimes, yeah, 316 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:51,919 where we would think, why aren't you pulling your starters. 317 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,159 He's like proving a point. If you're not gonna play, 318 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,639 just stay out there and you can go and be embarrassed. 319 00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:01,360 So and I think the last point to vocatitis, I 320 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,320 think what I was trying to say is that, you know, 321 00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:08,559 if vocatitis is condon for Florida, there's no chin alou 322 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,120 in hawk with him, you know what I meanitis on 323 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:14,399 his own down there, and for Arkansas that could be 324 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,519 a little easier as far as getting to the rim 325 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:18,360 and getting rebounds are concerned here tonight. 326 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: So for you know, for. 327 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 4: Betting purposes obviously for fan watching the game as well, 328 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,799 you hope a cup is gonna be okay. This would 329 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,919 be a poor time of year to see this kid 330 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:34,320 get hurt and not really be one hundred percent. 331 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: He's been sensational all season long, So we'll leave it 332 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:37,720 at that. 333 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you like a little lean toward Arkansas potentially if 334 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,080 they're at full. 335 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 3: Strength, and I think there's a little lean toward the 336 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:44,720 over here. 337 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,759 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Best day ever says just 338 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:51,080 a couple of bucks, two dollars donation. We very much 339 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,840 appreciate you. 340 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: And all right, Garth, Garth is you're in the parlay today. 341 00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,120 And the reason you're in the parlay today is because 342 00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,440 you have found one of my client plays. And I 343 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480 am going to give another one out on the show 344 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,960 because I once again I'm probably gonna end up with 345 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,480 four or five, so I've got one to spare. Maybe 346 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,119 I'll give two because this is gonna be Garth's leg 347 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,119 of the parlay. I am nominating him for the third 348 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,359 leg of the three teamer And Garth says dating under 349 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,640 one forty six and a half hit with twenty one 350 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,480 points to spare. Rob and I talked about it when 351 00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:26,359 we got off the show, where like we're like Garth's 352 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,400 moving numbers on the show now because that got absolutely slammed, 353 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,519 like right after he said that, to the point where 354 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,960 it was like a huge move toward the under since 355 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,880 we got off the show. Yeah, that guess that was 356 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,240 good at any number. Garth says he's eleven thirty and 357 00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:44,920 three in his last fourteen. He's going to the NEC 358 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240 tonight and taking Central Connecticut State minus four and a 359 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:51,559 half and Garth so, am I, I already met this earlier. 360 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,720 This is a four percent play for me. But this 361 00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,920 is gonna be your leg of the parlay though. I'm 362 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,480 gonna give you my reasoning on Central Connecticut State. 363 00:17:58,559 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: So Rob Vino. 364 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: I was in hard hitting New Britain last year for 365 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:08,039 the final of the NYC and it was the heartbreaker 366 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:12,200 of all heartbreakers for Central Connecticut State on their home floor. 367 00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:16,440 They lost as a double digit favorite to Saint Francis 368 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,759 Like at the last second, right at the end of 369 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:23,000 the game, on a last second shot. A lot of 370 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,480 stunned looks in the crowd and New Britain that was 371 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:28,640 They were an eleven and a half point favorite. It 372 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,960 was a game they expected to win and of course 373 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,759 get to the NCAA tournament. So obviously it's not the 374 00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:37,559 exact same team, but there's a lot of guys that 375 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:39,559 were still on that team that are still there. Of course, 376 00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:43,640 Pat Sellers, the head coach, still there. The entire crowd, 377 00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:46,160 I'm sure, I'm sure that's come up. Let's put it 378 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,200 this way. They have a home game, quarterfinal game. I 379 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,119 am sure it's been brought up. Hey, last time you 380 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,559 guys hosted an NEC tournament game on this floor, remember 381 00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:58,640 what happened? You don't want that feeling again, right like 382 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,599 that is I'm certain, and it was part of sellers 383 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,640 sort of sell if you will, to his team this week. 384 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:07,359 I look at the NEC outside of Long Island, I 385 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,400 still think Central Connecticut State is the second best team. 386 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,799 So to me, they should expect to be in the 387 00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:17,039 final this year. Obviously there'll be the tables will be turned, 388 00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,759 they'll probably be on the road, But as far as 389 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:23,680 this game is concerned, listen Wagner. They had a great 390 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:26,079 run to end any c play, but there was a 391 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,119 point in time where they were one and seven in 392 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,640 this league. 393 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,039 Speaker 1: This year. 394 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: For me, they've always been one of the bottom teams 395 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,920 in this league. I think it was almost like, you know, 396 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,519 good fortune if you will, rob catching some teams at 397 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,279 the right time. And then of course Wagner is just 398 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:43,799 gonna chuck threes that that is what they're gonna do. 399 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,440 And to their credit, they've hit enough of them. They've 400 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,000 kind of been red hot on this run, but they've 401 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,960 also hit enough of them to like, in my opinion, like, 402 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720 you know, put up this charade that they're like a 403 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,920 good team in this league. But to me, if you play, 404 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,039 like if Wagner was to play the top teams enough, 405 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,200 they'd probably get blasted almost every game, and especially on 406 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,960 the road, it's really tough. We talked about it this 407 00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:11,839 yesterday or the day before, I forget what game it was, 408 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,799 but teams that are just gonna chuck from three point 409 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,880 range tend to not do it as well on the road. 410 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,079 It's like much harder to go on the road if 411 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,160 you're like super jump shot reliant and go into someone 412 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,799 else's gym and just shoot the lights out. 413 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,519 Speaker 1: So for me, I thought this number was light. I 414 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:29,839 was at seven and a half here. 415 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: So Garth, I'm with you, Central Connecticut State minus four 416 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,599 and a half the client play for me, and that's 417 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,519 gonna be Garth's lag in the parlay rob anything for 418 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:42,799 you in CCSU, Wagner, No. 419 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,799 Speaker 4: But I want to keep Garth in here for a second. 420 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,640 I know you're in the chat, so I'm just gonna 421 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,640 bring a game up. But the conference tournament. 422 00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:51,599 Speaker 1: Game Yeah, you can go to a different game. 423 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna give the people what they want game 424 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,880 a little something extra here. But Garth, first of all, 425 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,359 I did drop in the comments actually compliment you great 426 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,000 pick with dayton Under yesterday. But let me just point 427 00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:10,559 out that in the Summit League tonight Oral robertson UMKC 428 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,400 or Kansas City as they like to be called now 429 00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:18,160 the Kangaroos. We were on Saturday Adam on Last Call 430 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,920 with Kelly when Garth dropped in with how about UNKC 431 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,640 under their team total against who Oral Roberts. They just 432 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,960 played this game like three days ago or four days ago, 433 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,799 and that final score went ninety four to seventy. 434 00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 3: O are U UMKC. 435 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,599 Speaker 4: We've talked about it a lot, Marvin Menzies and the 436 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,440 disaster that's been their season, their inability to score points. 437 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,039 Speaker 3: ODU. 438 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 4: I think that's the second time this year I believe 439 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,839 that they beat UMKC. Yeah, sixty nine to sixty the 440 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,960 first time, ninety four to seventy the second time. I 441 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,160 don't know that there's a real reason to like UMKC 442 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,119 in this game. So my lead would be Oral Roberts. 443 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,000 But Garth chime in here, really quick. If you can 444 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,240 just comment inside the section that team total tonight in 445 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:13,960 sixty nine and a half or UMKC they just got 446 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,519 to seventy, I would be inclined. Remember now that in 447 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:24,359 the Summit they play all the games at Sanford Premier Center, 448 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,759 which is a gym in South Dakota, So it's somewhat 449 00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:33,200 favors the South Dakota Coyotes in South Dakota state, but 450 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,640 not a ton I used to give this like maybe 451 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,240 half credit for a home floor, not a ton of credit. 452 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,359 But how about UMKC staying under tonight? He liked it Saturday. 453 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,200 I like it tonight. I don't see UMKC getting back 454 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,920 to seventy again, just really quick here. In that game Saturday, 455 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720 because it was such a blowout ninety four to seventy, the. 456 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: Game kind of got. 457 00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:02,799 Speaker 4: A little score happy in the end. But for UMKC 458 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:07,920 in that game they got the seventy and still didn't 459 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,039 even average one point per possession. I don't know that 460 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:13,200 they can do it here, Adam. It was an initial 461 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,319 look of mine. Choice was played or Roberts over their 462 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:19,680 team total or play UMKC under their total. I've revert 463 00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,759 back to umkc's just had such offensive difficulties all season 464 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,480 long that I would play that under sixty nine and 465 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:25,880 a half. 466 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I commented when we were on the show the 467 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:29,759 other day. 468 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 2: Actually, I think this was sort of the the kind 469 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,519 of conversation we had twice now since we've talked about 470 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:40,319 UMKC in each of their last two games, where it's 471 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,160 just like, I mean, this team's really just kind of 472 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,519 playing out the string. They know, they know that they're 473 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,759 you know that it's a it's going to be a 474 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,519 they're going to clean house after this season, right, like 475 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,680 new coach probably knew everything. 476 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 3: I don't. 477 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 2: I don't even know how many of these players still, Like, 478 00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:00,920 how many are even on the team next year. It 479 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,599 almost seems like like turgent, Yeah, I mean, he may 480 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,640 keep if there's anyone that shows her anemon quality, he 481 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,079 may keep them, but it's probably a bench guy here 482 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,480 or there. 483 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: Garth has chimed in. 484 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 2: He says, he says, to quote to quote Joe rn Ai, 485 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,440 if it's not broke, don't fix it. 486 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: That's kind of. 487 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 2: How That's kind of how I feel like the approach 488 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,079 to UMKC should be. Listen, their season is likely over 489 00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:28,119 after today, even Oral Roberts having a down year, is 490 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,079 still an eight and a half point favorite in this game. 491 00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:35,440 So to think that umk C, which they really haven't 492 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,279 shown up at all recently, just like goes up to 493 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:46,279 South Dakota and shows up here, I don't see it. 494 00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,599 This is almost like these are the types of teams 495 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480 rob that other conferences are no longer bringing to their 496 00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:56,880 conference tournament. Right, Like a lot of the other leagues 497 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,240 have said, you know what, we don't even we don't 498 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,200 need to do this, right, we don't need to bring 499 00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:05,440 UMKC up to take their beating, just to send them 500 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,799 back home. The summit, it looks like, is bringing everyone, 501 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:15,759 And so you're gonna have this first round game where 502 00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:18,119 like whereas Oral Roberts like they've had a bad season, 503 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,880 but they've at least looked dangerous at times. So again, 504 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,640 do I want to like necessarily lay eight and a 505 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,559 half with Oral Roberts. Not really, But it's the way 506 00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:30,400 I would go in this game because I think UMKC 507 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,559 is like pretty far off from at least where Oral 508 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,119 Roberts is at this point. And so then you're talking 509 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,920 like I don't think there's any chance UMKC wins here. 510 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,079 So when I get to that point, obviously they have 511 00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:46,880 a chance to cover. You're talking about four possessions. But 512 00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,079 to me, it looks like if they're gonna be down 513 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,440 by six or by eight, they might just like pack 514 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,519 it in and it's just like all right, we're especially 515 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,759 if they get down big early, like this team has 516 00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:02,240 shown no fight for in my opinion, So yeah, and 517 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:04,039 then maybe you're under as good as well. And I 518 00:26:04,079 --> 00:26:06,400 think that's what Garth's kind of saying. He'd probably if 519 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,000 he had to, he'd probably go back to the well 520 00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:11,440 with that. So it's a good, uh interesting one there 521 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,240 up in Sioux Falls tonight the first round of the 522 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,200 Summit League Tournament. 523 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: Me, first off, I'm just gonna comment a couple of years. 524 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,920 First off, Garth, I'm not letting Ranieri take credit for anything. 525 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,440 He gets credit for enough around here. If it ain't 526 00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:28,680 if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Goes back to 527 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 when we used to do the NBA show Daily Together, 528 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,880 Joe would host myself a key prophet. It was a 529 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,839 common phrase on that show. Robert Harris was a producer 530 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,119 back then. So no, no, no, I'm not letting that 531 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,079 sliders a verniery thing. No way he gets enough credit 532 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,480 for other stuff. Second thing is this is different, Adam, 533 00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,960 and I think it's why we talk about situational all 534 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,400 the time, and there's no general umbrella to throw things under. 535 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,640 We're gonna talk a lot the next couple of weeks 536 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,200 about teams that didn't win their conference championship that get 537 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,240 revitalized by a conference tournament and become dangerous. Whether they're 538 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,240 a second place team or an eighth place team. You 539 00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:10,759 see teams make runs in these tournaments. UMKC just doesn't 540 00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:14,759 fit that bill. In my mind, there's nothing that revitalizes 541 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:18,079 them after getting beat by twenty four three days ago 542 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,799 by the team that they're coming into face tonight off 543 00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:24,160 of a season where I don't know, one in sixteen 544 00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:26,920 or whatever they were in summer league play and can't score, 545 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,720 and the coach the whole disaster. They just probably wanted 546 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:31,079 to come to an end. So I think that's a 547 00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:33,400 little bit different than what we'll talk about in a 548 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,799 lot of these instances. And like I said, when you 549 00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:39,240 get beat by twenty four three days ago and you're 550 00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:42,400 just a lousy team, or Roberts knows they can beat 551 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,799 him by twenty four again, and I don't believe or 552 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,480 Roberts has to play the next day either. 553 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: I don't think the Summit League tournament. 554 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,039 Speaker 4: Is set up that way where you play back to 555 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:52,400 back to where we're watching these sun Belt teams go back. 556 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,640 The more you win, the more you play in the 557 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,039 sun Belt, you may be playing from now till Sunday 558 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,240 or till Saturday if you're one. 559 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 3: Of the teams that won last night. So I like 560 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,519 the UMKC under tonight. 561 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,559 Speaker 2: Rob one final point though, is like one final point 562 00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:09,960 is oral. Roberts may actually fit that bill right. They 563 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,319 are the type of team where it's like they come 564 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,920 out and win here, like they're they profile as a 565 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,160 team that could be a little bit dangerous, whereas like, yeah, 566 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,240 I think uh umk C probably knows they have no 567 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,599 chance and. 568 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: It's it's likely an effort that it probably looks like that. 569 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,480 So again, a. 570 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 4: Real quick I think Max asmis is that right. Paul 571 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,920 Mills had him at or You in the the last 572 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,319 couple of years and and they were getting to the tournament. 573 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,400 But it's a kind of a new system for this 574 00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,079 team that towards the end of the year, maybe it's 575 00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:47,200 just UMKC. Maybe they are getting a little better, but 576 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,440 you're absolutely right. It's the type of thing that could 577 00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,480 rejuvenate Oral Roberts. 578 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,519 Speaker 3: Hey, we got a shot here. 579 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on first, I will do our 580 00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,000 quick well first, I'll think we have a couple of 581 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,319 donations with with no pick attached. So I'll take the 582 00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:06,599 time to say we very much appreciate that. I appreciate 583 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,599 you guys tuning into the show. If you like what 584 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,599 you hear here, we have a great special up. It's 585 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,160 either three days of all access myself and Rob all 586 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,720 of our picks, or you can get everything through the 587 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:22,960 NCAA tournament, which means all the small tournaments, all the 588 00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:28,359 conference tournaments. It's from a value standpoint per play, there's 589 00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:30,920 there's almost no better time a year to do it. 590 00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:35,759 So again that that's up there. If you are so inclined, 591 00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:38,480 All right, let's go back to the chat and let's 592 00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:42,079 go back to uh the the main board. If you 593 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,920 will hear Rob, uh, this is a This is another 594 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,799 one that I thought about making the feature today. I 595 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,960 was I was torn between Arkansas Texas and this game. 596 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,359 And I still think Arkansas Texas is a bigger game. 597 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,599 But Miami has been sort of the bane of my 598 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,480 existence this year. Thankfully, I haven't bet against them very often, 599 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:09,359 even though like every time they come up, I'm inclined 600 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,960 to do so. And I did have a five percent 601 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,160 winner against them maybe a week or week and a 602 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,880 half ago. I took Virginia Tech plus the points, a 603 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,720 game that somehow Miami found away and then had the 604 00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:22,839 benefit of not having a file called on them at 605 00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,319 the end and a ball that sort of rimmed out. 606 00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: Believe they won that game by one. 607 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,799 Speaker 2: They are now rob six and one in their last 608 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:37,039 seven games. Their only loss in that span is a 609 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:42,599 three point loss to Virginia where they covered. But I 610 00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:46,279 still can't get behind this Miami team. It's still I 611 00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,640 look at the schedule they've played, it's still like the 612 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,079 easiest schedule of anyone in the ACC. Of course, the 613 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,640 one loss in that seven game stretch was the toughest game, 614 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,119 right that they had. That was the one real big 615 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920 time test you could point and say say, well, trigged 616 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,559 they beat UNC. But if you remember, they beat UNC 617 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,680 right after UNC had their crazy upset last second shot 618 00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:12,279 win against Duke. So again, this is just Miami catching 619 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,759 catching everyone in the in the ideal spot. I don't 620 00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:19,720 think that's the case here, Rob they're catching Now it's 621 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,640 SMU that's in the desperate spot here. 622 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,759 Speaker 1: Back to back losses. 623 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,079 Speaker 2: They lose both games to the to the West Coast 624 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:32,119 ACC teams get swept by cal and Stanford. So for once, 625 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,519 is Miami in the bad spot? 626 00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,279 Speaker 1: Here? Is this good? Is this the good spot for SMU? 627 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:37,799 We're in Texas. 628 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,119 Speaker 2: Talk to me about SMU Miami because I can't seem 629 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,400 to get the Hurricanes right. 630 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,319 Speaker 4: First off, kudos to Quinn Lannigan five six four for 631 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:51,480 bringing this game up, because when I brought up UMKC, 632 00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:53,440 I was almost going to bring this up just to 633 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,200 get your view on Miami. Listen, Miami's not in a 634 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,799 bad spot here tonight, because there's no way, at least 635 00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:02,440 my opinion, there's no way I'm getting behind SMU without 636 00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:05,839 BJ Edwards did not play set got hurt two games ago, 637 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,559 and then you know, I wanted to play SMU the 638 00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:11,519 other day against Stanford. I said I can't chance it 639 00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:12,920 without him in the lineup. 640 00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: And what do they do? 641 00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:18,559 Speaker 4: They want and get beat by twenty. This team is 642 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,039 offense only, and when you take that important of a 643 00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:25,279 cog out of there and all reports I've read this 644 00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:27,240 morning when I was checking this game out, the ankle 645 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,200 leaves him still doubtful and probably not. 646 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:30,559 Speaker 3: Going to play. 647 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,279 Speaker 4: They're probably gonna stave him for the conference tournament, and 648 00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:38,240 so boopy Miller on his own in Moody. I know 649 00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:41,599 it's a nice home floor, but again, Miami catches a 650 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,000 favorable spot in my opinion, where this team doesn't have 651 00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:47,880 their second best scoring option on the floor, puts in 652 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960 a lot of minutes, does a lot of things for 653 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:54,599 this team when Miller's not going well. Edwards is and 654 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200 like I say, that results Saturday just threw me right 655 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,240 off of SMU here. I'm actually, it's got to be 656 00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:04,039 and I'd be interested to know what your number is 657 00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:07,960 on this game, But it's got to be that the 658 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,279 odds maker has it built in already. But I would 659 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:17,680 think that early this morning money would have moved toward 660 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:18,759 the Miami side. 661 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: It hasn't. 662 00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 4: That must mean that money feels like it's already been 663 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,839 incorporated into the line, But I just don't. I think 664 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,920 the value of this kid is unheralded to and bet 665 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,079 a lot of SMU totals this year and having watched 666 00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:34,839 a lot of SNU basketball and the NFL, one thing 667 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,160 they don't do is play defense. One thing Miami does 668 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,400 is play defense. One other thing that SMU needs is 669 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,880 all their offensive pieces on the floor to be good. 670 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,200 Now you could say maybe they work through through some 671 00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:49,319 things one game without him on the floor. Maybe that 672 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,640 was problematic for them. How the heck can we adjust 673 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,119 here without Edwards on the floor. Maybe they've got answers. Now, 674 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,440 I don't know. I'm not buying into that school of 675 00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:02,759 thought either. So for me at this price, tag man, 676 00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:05,519 it's got to be Miami for me or nothing at all. 677 00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:08,840 I even looked at Total, thinking, well, maybe SMU will 678 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,280 still score. If I was gonna play total here, I 679 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,159 wouldn't want to exclude them. But I'm not as confident 680 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:19,239 as I usually am playing SMU overs. I think Miami 681 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,480 is probably the right side here. 682 00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 3: We'll see. But I just to me Edwards means that much. 683 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 2: My number is SMU minus one point seven. Now, I 684 00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:33,920 want to make something clear, like I will take a 685 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,639 player out and and I'll just the number based on 686 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:40,199 what I think the player means to the number. But 687 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,159 that does not mean like then I need to go 688 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,559 and say, well, what does this person mean to the handicap? 689 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,000 And I do agree with you there. So even though 690 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:50,800 even though my numbers is still in line with what 691 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,880 the market is SMU minus one point seven, and that 692 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,880 has factored in Edward's not being there. Like so for me, 693 00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:01,039 I'm just gonna look at this from the Miami angle 694 00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:04,559 for a minute. Trey Donaldson has just been so good 695 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,880 that I almost have I this is this is like 696 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,519 I've had to get off of my Oh well, Miami 697 00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:13,280 is this fraud team because they haven't really played anyone 698 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,639 and they keep catching everyone in a good spot. There's 699 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:18,880 an element of truth to that. Listen like that that's undisputable. 700 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,719 Go look at schedule ranks of ACC teams. They have 701 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,599 played a much easier schedule than that, a lot like 702 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,360 the next ACC team they have. 703 00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: It's an eighteen team league. They let anyone in now, Rob, 704 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,039 so I can't I've lost count. 705 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 2: I think it's a think we have eighteen teams in 706 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,559 ACC for basketball because of course we have Notre Dame 707 00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:42,599 in there for basketball, and they're right down there at 708 00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:47,440 the bottom seventeenth or eighteenth in strength the schedule in conference. 709 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: So that's undisputable. 710 00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 2: But what you what you can't dispute is the fact 711 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,119 that they've they show up pretty much every game, even 712 00:35:56,159 --> 00:35:59,320 that one loss, even that one loss. So it February, 713 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,400 they're six and and the one loss was in Charlottesville, 714 00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:05,360 and I would say that it was probably one of 715 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,320 Miami's better performances because they hung around and covered. They 716 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,599 were right there with a very very good Virginia team. 717 00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:14,679 Go on the road to Florida State, no problem, win 718 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,639 by ten, destroy BC over the weekend, you know, find 719 00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:19,599 a way to win at NC State. That was a 720 00:36:19,639 --> 00:36:21,599 game where they were dead to rights and came back 721 00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:24,719 and won. You know, still get credit. They still beat 722 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,519 North Carolina even though it wasn't a great spot for UNC. 723 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: So again it's like. 724 00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 2: I've wanted to go against them because I feel like 725 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,719 the way I think they should be. 726 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,159 Speaker 1: Vulnerable on the road here. But I'm kind of with you. 727 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 2: I did not find any really good reason to want 728 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,119 to want to back SMU, so that this was kind 729 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,719 of one that I passed on. 730 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,119 Speaker 1: And then, of course, Rob when SMU wins, I'll be 731 00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:52,880 pissed at myself. It'll be like there, it was, there, 732 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,559 it was, you. 733 00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 4: Know, it's interesting because Jie Luca is the head coach 734 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,880 of Miami. In almost every inter you I've seen with 735 00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:06,159 him this year, multiple interviews or reading quotes from him, 736 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:12,239 he brings in their team identity under his leadership is 737 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,159 physical play. We played physical, we played You'll hear Lucas 738 00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:21,800 say that constantly. SMU doesn't play physical. SMU so finesse. 739 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:27,119 And when you get into analytics like Miami's offensive rebounding 740 00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,920 versus SMU's defensive rebounding, it's not close. Miami's going to 741 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,360 be the team on the boards tonight. Maybe the second chances, 742 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,559 et cetera, et cetera, Miami somehow, some way gets to 743 00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:39,519 the free throw line more than anybody in the ACC 744 00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:46,159 and ACC game. So that's another just fundamental matchup aspect 745 00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:48,719 of this game that doesn't suit SMU. And if they 746 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,119 had Edwards, I would say to you, Adam, to counter 747 00:37:52,199 --> 00:37:54,599 that that SMU speed and up and down the floor 748 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,840 nature is probably going to hurt Miami a little bit. 749 00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 3: They don't like it. 750 00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:01,679 Speaker 4: They score a lot of points, but they don't necessarily 751 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,239 like to go that way. So interesting game. I'm only 752 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:05,880 off of it. 753 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 3: Because of Edwards not being there. 754 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,599 Speaker 4: SMU's got some meaningful parts and he's one of them. 755 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,079 Speaker 1: All right, Rob, it is uh. 756 00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go if you want to, if 757 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,800 you know your parlay leg I'll let you go. 758 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: If not, I'll go. 759 00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to the chat. So I'm giving you 760 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,679 the right of refusal here. 761 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: I guess you. 762 00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 4: Would call Yeah, I'm gonna use it and we'll go 763 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,360 to the chat right now. 764 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 2: All right, all right, so this is good because we 765 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,159 can kill a couple birds with one stone. Best day ever, 766 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,079 says Jacksonville Bellerman. Any insight, I actually have quite a 767 00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:44,800 bit of insight here, just in general to the Atlantic 768 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,000 Sun Tournament. I was just down in Florida this weekend. 769 00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:50,760 I got to catch two A Sun games and also 770 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,280 got to talk to some folks about the new tournament format. 771 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,599 So I think it's uh, we will talk about Jacksonville Bellerman, 772 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,960 but I also want to give some general thoughts out 773 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,639 out on the Atlantic Sun Tournament because I know you 774 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,320 degenerates are gonna bet these games all afternoon because they're 775 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,679 the only ones on this afternoon. So what I'm gonna 776 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,639 do here, Rob, start to look at the A Sun 777 00:39:11,639 --> 00:39:15,760 Tournament bracket. We are rather than just focus on Jacksonville Bellerman. 778 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,920 We're gonna have this. This next sort of ten minutes 779 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:21,840 is just gonna be a Sun Tournament discussion, so we 780 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,559 might actually give you more than than one game here. 781 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,400 The tournament is now located in Jacksonville. Okay, they're using 782 00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:35,679 three venues, so Jacksonville Swisher Gym will host one of 783 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,079 the sites, but Jacksonville can't play there. UNF Arena, where 784 00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:42,599 I was on Thursday, great little spot, I. 785 00:39:42,559 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: Got you, I got my North Florida hoodie on. 786 00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:49,199 Speaker 2: Right now is is another host site but jackson but 787 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,920 North Florida can't play there, So Jacksonville will play their 788 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,599 games at North Florida. North Florida will play their games 789 00:39:56,639 --> 00:39:59,719 at Jacksonville. And I think they may use Veterans Memorial 790 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,360 Downtown for like the final. That's the big arena in Jacksonville. 791 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,039 That's like the I don't think anyone plays there. It's 792 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,719 just what like Jacksonville uses for like big concerts and 793 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,719 stuff like that. So I think there's three venues for 794 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,800 this tournament, So Jacksonville Bellerman will be at UNF Arena 795 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,280 at now. I believe this is the noon game right here. 796 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,079 I had a nice winner with Jacksonville on Saturday. It 797 00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:26,639 was more of a fade of North Florida and Rob 798 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,559 they were you want to talk about just a no 799 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,800 sweat winner. They were up, they were up forty nine 800 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,639 to like seventeen at one point in that game, and 801 00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:40,239 they were like a pick. So Jacksonville came in and 802 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,519 just absolutely mauled UNF. And I guess the what's notable 803 00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,199 from that as it pertains to this game is it 804 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,599 was in the UNF arena. 805 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: So Jacksonville just played on this floor. 806 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 2: They played extremely well on this floor, and they blew 807 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,000 out North Florida. Now Bellerman is better than North Florida. 808 00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:02,679 North Florida plays no defense, and you know they that there. 809 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,639 They've just been bad this year. They're like seven and 810 00:41:04,679 --> 00:41:10,159 twenty four. So this particular game for me was a 811 00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:11,840 little bit of a toss up. So I'm gonna let 812 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,719 you jump in here to just answer the question for 813 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,280 best they ever. Do you have anything on Jacksonville Bellerman? 814 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,840 And if not, is there anything in the A ten 815 00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:22,440 in the A Sun tournament that catches your eye? 816 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,079 Speaker 3: You know? Real quick? 817 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,159 Speaker 4: And while you were talking, I was trying to bring 818 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,840 up the conference tournament odds because somebody asked us the 819 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,800 other day, can we talk about conference tournament futures? 820 00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 3: And I didn't quite get to the spot. 821 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 4: Where I get the odds here, but I do have 822 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,400 two thoughts on this, and Central Arkansas is the number 823 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,960 one seed in the tournament. For me, Adam, I would 824 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,400 definitely take a shot with Lipscomb in this tournament the 825 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,800 four seed. Now, in order to get there, they're gonna 826 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,599 have to go through Central Arkansas. They're in that half 827 00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:01,840 of the bracket and the bottom half of the bracket. 828 00:42:02,199 --> 00:42:04,119 I don't know what the odds are on Austin P, 829 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,039 but Austin P is probably I know. 830 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,639 Speaker 3: Central Arkansas is the one seed. 831 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,800 Speaker 4: From what I've seen, Austin P is probably the best 832 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,960 team in this So those are two that I would 833 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,159 look at to win the tournament. The two win the four, 834 00:42:17,159 --> 00:42:21,079 you're gonna get a better number on Lipscomb. Obviously, Again, 835 00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:23,280 I don't have them in front of me, So chat 836 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,679 if you can help me out here and just let 837 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,159 me know what these conference tournament odds are. I think 838 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480 I don't think the one is gonna win here. I 839 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,719 think Queen's is gonna be a fan favorite type choice 840 00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:39,039 to win this. I don't think Queen's is gonna win this. 841 00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:43,440 Lipscom's got a lot of program history and they have 842 00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:45,960 a team that's capable of this. And again, I think 843 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,840 the best all around team here is gonna be Austin 844 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,320 p But I want to take this is halfway funny, 845 00:42:53,360 --> 00:43:00,519 halfway serious, because we took a lot of s blank 846 00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:06,119 t asterisk for discussing Florida Gulf Coast the other day. 847 00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 3: Right. 848 00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm glad you're bringing them up because that's where 849 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,320 I was going next, So go ahead. 850 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the chat was not half First of all, 851 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,199 they weren't happy to hear about Florida Golf Coast for 852 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:18,519 five six minutes. Second of all, they weren't happy that 853 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,920 we kind of thought Florida Golf Coast was in a 854 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,880 pretty good spot. But they played North Alabama here and 855 00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:29,360 they probably are in a good spot in my mind 856 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,320 in this particular game against North Alabama. Now they've taken 857 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,880 some money. I think if you got to the window 858 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,599 early and got a six and a half, you're in 859 00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:40,719 good shape. These eights are starting to pop up now 860 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,440 seven and a halfs are still available. 861 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,119 Speaker 1: Wow. 862 00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 4: But for every reason that we started to give the 863 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,840 other day about why Florida Golf Coast was a play 864 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,000 against North Florida and in fact that it's a game 865 00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:56,679 you were at, and it's a game where FGCU had 866 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,719 a first half lead and looked kind of easy, and 867 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,960 maybe they thought it was too easy. But I don't 868 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,840 think that'll be the case today. I think it's good 869 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,920 for them to enter the tournament kind of in that fashion. 870 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:11,400 And North Alabama to me, doesn't pose much of a threat. 871 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,719 So you know, again, a eight is a tough number, 872 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,880 but I don't know I would still lean that way 873 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:18,559 at seven and a half. 874 00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:20,159 Speaker 3: And there's plenty of seven and a half's out there. 875 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so ACU, there's plenty of seven and a half. 876 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,239 There's like the eight is like rogue at this point, 877 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,320 it's it's seven and seven and a half is pretty 878 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,440 much where it is. I do think it moves to 879 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,239 eight at some point. Best day eversus Adam is cooking. 880 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,760 Speaker 1: I gotta throw that up there. Love to see that. 881 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 2: Thank you for that, attached a donation to it. Appreciate you, 882 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,480 all right, So here's the deal. Yeah that I I 883 00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:49,559 had to sit there, not only once, I had to 884 00:44:49,559 --> 00:44:52,719 sit there and watch Florida Golf Coast twice this weekend 885 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,960 because when I went to Stetson on Saturday afternoon, that 886 00:44:56,119 --> 00:45:00,360 was Stetson's opponent, Rob, I have not seen it that 887 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,960 team was so uninterested in playing basketball last weekend that 888 00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:06,920 it was like, so, here's here's what happened to FGCU, 889 00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:09,559 and this is the This is a perfect example of 890 00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:13,079 what I was trying to illustrate with why I'm maybe 891 00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:16,280 gravitating more toward conference tournaments right now instead of the 892 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,480 final game of the regular season for some of these teams. 893 00:45:19,159 --> 00:45:21,880 FGCU came out, played a great first half against UNF 894 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,480 They were up nine at half. Things didn't go their 895 00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:27,199 way in the second half. They ended up getting out played, 896 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,880 they lost, and then on Saturday they could not have 897 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,920 cared less about that game at Stetson. 898 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: It just didn't really mean much. And you could just 899 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,440 tell that they rolled in there and were like, we 900 00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:42,039 are ready to go home. They lost. 901 00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 2: They got dominated by a Stetson team that should not 902 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,960 be dominating anyone that is not a good basketball team, okay, 903 00:45:49,519 --> 00:45:52,320 and they got straight up dominated from the opening tip 904 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,280 like it was. 905 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,679 Speaker 1: You know, it was just not a good not a 906 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,360 good road trip for Florida. Gulf Coast. 907 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: I still think this team has some juice, especially against 908 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,280 the bottom teams in this league. And now, like for me, 909 00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:11,199 the fact that they get to reset. Okay, that weekend 910 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,960 went horrible, it's a clean slate. Now we're playing for 911 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,559 for our season. I think you're gonna see a much 912 00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:21,159 better effort from an FGCU team today that, in my opinion, 913 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:21,800 is much. 914 00:46:21,639 --> 00:46:23,039 Speaker 1: Better than North Alabama. 915 00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 2: So Rob, I am going seven minus one twenty for 916 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,800 my parlay Legue Florida Gulf Coast. Okay, you can still 917 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,000 and if you have you know what I'm actually gonna do. 918 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,480 I'm gonna put seven minus one twenty five because I 919 00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:39,440 know some people that only have limited options may may 920 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,880 have to lay minus one thirty in the parlay. 921 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: I actually there was a point in time this morning 922 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:45,000 where I. 923 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 2: Thought about FGCU minus six and a half and I 924 00:46:48,559 --> 00:46:50,239 kind of wanted to see, how you know, I kind 925 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,480 of just like I already have three other plays locked in. 926 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,920 I'm kind of kicking myself. I wish I just locked 927 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,440 in that six and a half. I'd love to have 928 00:46:56,519 --> 00:46:59,400 that for clients right now. But yeah, I think they're 929 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,320 gonna blast North Alabama if this gets hit back in 930 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,679 the other direction and this gets back down to a 931 00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:07,559 playable seven. I probably will put that out there for clients, 932 00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:12,119 but that's gonna be my parlay leg because that Central 933 00:47:12,119 --> 00:47:14,639 Connecticut State game, even though it's a client plate for me, 934 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,239 that's Garth's league in the parlay. So we're putting Garth 935 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,280 in the parlay today. So I am on Florida Golf Coast. 936 00:47:20,519 --> 00:47:23,559 We'll get some afternoon action. Best they ever wanted to 937 00:47:23,559 --> 00:47:27,599 talk a Sun tournament, and that is, in my opinion, 938 00:47:27,679 --> 00:47:30,559 the strong prob I have opinions on the others, but 939 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,800 that's probably the strongest of the four A Sun games 940 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:34,079 for me. 941 00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:36,599 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see Florida Golf Coast play much 942 00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:37,199 better today. 943 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 2: And I'm glad we're a ligne there, Rob, Glad you 944 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,519 saw it that way, because I wasn't sure if I 945 00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:44,920 was gonna bring it up, but it's been brought up 946 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,119 and we're gonna be on FGCU so and best day ever. 947 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,800 Just to answer your specific question, I guess if you 948 00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:57,199 forced me to, I would go Bellerman, but I really 949 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,800 did not have a strong opinion in that particular game. 950 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,599 So so anyway, So just to just to circle back, 951 00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:10,559 and answer the question if you force me to. In 952 00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:12,360 the early game, I'd pick Bellerman, but I do not 953 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,840 have nearly as strong of a take as I do 954 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,880 on Florida Golf Coast, which is game number two. All Right, Robino, 955 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,480 they're asking for you in the chat. What is the 956 00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:24,119 third leg of the parlay going to be? 957 00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 3: All right? 958 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 4: Again, it's always it always comes down to choice here, Adam, 959 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,239 And I'll tell you this. 960 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,639 Speaker 3: Under consideration. 961 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 4: Here were UAB minus one and a half against Charlotte 962 00:48:36,639 --> 00:48:40,000 on the road. Indy Kennedy's team is so much better 963 00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:42,239 on the road than they have been at home. 964 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 2: It's I would talk if that's a game, keep going, 965 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,840 but I have an opinion in that one. 966 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 1: But continue. 967 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 4: And watching them play North Texas on Sunday set basketball 968 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,519 back about fifty years. 969 00:48:56,599 --> 00:48:58,119 Speaker 3: Offensively, it was brutal. 970 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,639 Speaker 4: But the reason why I have an eye on UAB 971 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,280 tonight is they are getting healthier and the final piece 972 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,599 of the puzzle maybe back tonight. If Amad Robinson plays, 973 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,280 might not. I don't think it'll matter. It's for it's 974 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,960 a seating type game. It means a lot to both. 975 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,039 They're tied inside the American standings. Games in Charlotte, but 976 00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:21,880 that UAB was under consideration. But I'm gonna go to 977 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,199 my go to route here and play a team total. 978 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:30,440 I just don't understand why Florida State's team total tonight 979 00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:33,119 against Pitt is seventy two and a half minus won 980 00:49:33,199 --> 00:49:38,320 twenty five. Makes zero sense Luke Lus's team, And I 981 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,119 guess I won't say zero sense because Pitt plays like 982 00:49:42,159 --> 00:49:46,760 a snail. Jeff Capele tries to I mean, if he 983 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,119 could shrink the game, intwo, let's just play fifteen minutes, guys, 984 00:49:50,119 --> 00:49:52,920 he would do it, because Pitt just is. They just 985 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,760 don't have the personnel to go forty with a lot 986 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,599 of these ACC teams, and they certainly don't have the 987 00:49:57,599 --> 00:49:59,719 personnel to go with a team that goes at the 988 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,880 pace of Florida State. Florida State's played very very well 989 00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:06,480 down the backstretch, down the home stretch here for in 990 00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:07,159 the ACC. 991 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,159 Speaker 3: For Louk's head coach. They got off to kind of 992 00:50:09,199 --> 00:50:10,039 a sluggish start. 993 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 4: Team that we recognized early on is one that you know, 994 00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:16,679 to quote us in January just want to chuck threes. 995 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,199 They do chuck a lot of threes, but they've done 996 00:50:19,199 --> 00:50:23,519 a lot better since then. As well, Pittsburgh does nothing 997 00:50:23,559 --> 00:50:25,800 good at this point in time, Adam. They may score 998 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,280 on Florida State because Florida State doesn't play a heck 999 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:34,199 of a lot of defense. But the number absolutely shocked 1000 00:50:34,199 --> 00:50:36,519 me here, seventy two and a half team total. I 1001 00:50:36,559 --> 00:50:39,960 think I'm playing the number way more than I'm even 1002 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,159 playing the team. And I like Florida State as a 1003 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,960 scoring type team. So for me tonight in a game 1004 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,800 against pitt in a game where let me just really 1005 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,800 quick here, I had a note, I had something in 1006 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,400 my notes about the standings here where Florida State is concerned. Yeah, 1007 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,719 they're in this eight and eight bracket with SMU and CAL, 1008 00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:00,960 and it's very possib but you just heard us talk 1009 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,599 about Miami of Florida and SMU. It's very possible that 1010 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:08,719 SMU loses tonight, and it's very possible that CAL loses 1011 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,159 as well and gives Florida State with a win one 1012 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,960 hand up inside that bracket. They're moving them up to standing. 1013 00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:19,320 So for me tonight, it's going to be Florida State 1014 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:24,119 team total over seventy two and a half minus a quarter. 1015 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,039 As much as pitt wants to slow the game down 1016 00:51:27,079 --> 00:51:30,039 and think Florida State will still get their opportunities, and 1017 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,679 seventy three just is not allowed to ask for from. 1018 00:51:32,639 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 3: This team in my estimation. 1019 00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 4: So give me that as the parlay leg Florida State 1020 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,800 team total up and over seventy two and a half, 1021 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,159 and it does come with minus one twenty five attached 1022 00:51:41,199 --> 00:51:41,440 to it. 1023 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,760 Speaker 2: Sorry say that, Say say your team total again one 1024 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,400 more time. I got the minus one twenty five. 1025 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,079 Speaker 1: What was the number? 1026 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 3: Seventy two and a half. 1027 00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 2: So FSU over seventy two point five, Okay, I just 1028 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,199 wanted to make sure I got it right, all right, Yeah, 1029 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:02,039 I mean I had to remind myself. I forgot Pitt 1030 00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:05,199 had a basketball program for a second rob like I 1031 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,920 over here. I forgot I thought their season was canceled. 1032 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,599 I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. And 1033 00:52:09,639 --> 00:52:13,039 that's how relevant they've become, which is insane to someone 1034 00:52:13,079 --> 00:52:17,000 that grew up going to Syracuse basketball games and as 1035 00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:20,280 grew up in Big East territory like to not have 1036 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,039 Pit be an entity in college basketball. 1037 00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: It's just just sad. 1038 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,559 Speaker 2: Those Syracuse pit games are some of the best ones 1039 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,280 I went to growing up, and the fact that they 1040 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,880 are now scrapping to get in to the fifteen team 1041 00:52:36,079 --> 00:52:39,440 ACC tournament field row. They might not even make the 1042 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,000 conference tournament. So you want to talk about the side 1043 00:52:42,039 --> 00:52:45,599 here real quick. They might need to They might need 1044 00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:48,760 to win this game just to get into the conference 1045 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,320 tournament if they lose, Like they're in a battle, a 1046 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:56,159 dogfight with Notre Dame in Boston College to get that 1047 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,480 last spot. There's only one spot open for three teams 1048 00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:03,159 right now, and that that's uh. You know, they've got 1049 00:53:03,199 --> 00:53:05,599 a leg up on BC because they've got the extra win, 1050 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,039 but they're sitting there at four and twelve and Notre 1051 00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:10,719 Dame is at four and twelve. You know what I'm 1052 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,280 gonna do, I let's I think people would rather hit 1053 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,920 one more game then hear me just like talk about 1054 00:53:18,159 --> 00:53:20,599 the state of pit basketball. And I have no opinion 1055 00:53:20,599 --> 00:53:24,280 outside of your opinion on this game. So I'm gonna 1056 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,280 I'm gonna hop into the chat, yeah and see see 1057 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,000 what we can. 1058 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,760 Speaker 1: We'll get another game here. 1059 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 2: Just while I'm looking slick Mick says, Yeah, Pitt comes 1060 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,639 off that big win, and now like they might be like, 1061 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,039 I don't know, I think Pitt's gonna be very focused 1062 00:53:40,039 --> 00:53:41,119 on trying to win this game. 1063 00:53:41,159 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: They really want to. 1064 00:53:42,079 --> 00:53:44,079 Speaker 2: I'm sure they want to go to the a SEC tournament, 1065 00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:48,519 but I have no uh, I have nothing to say. 1066 00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:51,679 All right, here's here's what we're gonna we gotta talk. 1067 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,920 I I prefer to stay in the conference tournaments, so 1068 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,199 maybe we'll get more than one. I'm just gonna go 1069 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,039 real quick. I usually don't do rapid fire on the show, 1070 00:54:03,039 --> 00:54:04,920 but I'll give you a chance to pull up one 1071 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,159 more game. Jay buff is going to the Lemoyne game 1072 00:54:08,199 --> 00:54:11,079 tonight and he will be very, very upset if I 1073 00:54:11,119 --> 00:54:15,440 do not touch on Stonehill Lemoyne. So here's the deal 1074 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,480 with that game. Stone Hill's best player did not play 1075 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:25,000 over the weekend, okay, and yet they still beat Lemoyne 1076 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,960 without him. But that that was a oh I'm sorry, 1077 00:54:29,559 --> 00:54:32,280 that was last weekend. Stone Hill's best player did not 1078 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:38,440 play over the over the weekend and they lost to Mercyhurst. Okay, 1079 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,880 So what I meant to say was stone Hill beat 1080 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,440 Lemoyne twice in the regular season, and now they might 1081 00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:49,159 be without one of their best players. 1082 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:50,760 Speaker 1: No, he's probably their best players. 1083 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,800 Speaker 2: Coffee ko f f I did not play over the weekend, 1084 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,920 so to me, like when I saw that open seven. Okay, 1085 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,159 my number was was quite a bit off there, Jay 1086 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:05,159 buff I was closer to like three. So I would 1087 00:55:05,159 --> 00:55:08,519 look towards stone Hill, especially because sometimes Robin these smaller leagues, 1088 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,639 you look at the you look at how the meeting 1089 00:55:12,679 --> 00:55:15,400 played out twice during the regular season, and it's like 1090 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,920 if if one team's just better than the other team 1091 00:55:18,199 --> 00:55:19,960 or has the like, I don't know that I trust 1092 00:55:20,039 --> 00:55:23,039 Lemoyne to make all sorts of adjustments to just be 1093 00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:26,119 like so much better in the third game. You know, 1094 00:55:26,159 --> 00:55:28,800 they struggled with Stonehill twice. Now you mean to tell 1095 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,480 me they're gonna lay seven. But if Coffee is out 1096 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,920 for stone Hill, that makes a difference to me. So, 1097 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,159 Jay buff I, I like this Lamoyne team this year. 1098 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,519 They can defend, they are the one. They are maybe 1099 00:55:41,519 --> 00:55:43,440 a team that I could see making an adjustment just 1100 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,199 because their defense has been very solid in the context 1101 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,639 of this league. But I would really want to know 1102 00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:51,159 the status of stone Hill's best player. If he's in, 1103 00:55:51,679 --> 00:55:53,880 I'd be more inclined to take the points with stone 1104 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,599 Hill because I think it's a big number. If he's out, 1105 00:55:56,639 --> 00:55:58,639 then maybe, you know, maybe this is a spot where 1106 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,880 Lemoyne like gets double Revenge because they lost the first 1107 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,239 two meetings. Rob, you don't have to talk stone Hill 1108 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,079 and Mooyne. I'm going to let you finish this show 1109 00:56:06,119 --> 00:56:08,280 with a game that you want to talk about. You 1110 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,840 can pick it from the chat, you can pick it 1111 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,320 from your list. Just just give us one other thought 1112 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,280 before we close it out. 1113 00:56:14,199 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go to the Ohio Valley tonight. 1114 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 4: Adam in a game that I think is as interesting 1115 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,960 as any Little Rock linden Wood they played twice this year. 1116 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,400 They split the season series. Both games were really close. 1117 00:56:27,519 --> 00:56:30,280 Both games were higher scoring than what the total suggests. 1118 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,920 It'll be tonight. I think the lowest scoring game they 1119 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,639 played was one fifty three. They played as recently as 1120 00:56:35,679 --> 00:56:38,679 February tenth, So there's a couple of games tonight where 1121 00:56:38,679 --> 00:56:40,800 you find that the teams have that two matchups. But 1122 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,119 there was one instance, and I'm forgetting off the top 1123 00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:45,320 of my head, but they haven't played since January fifth, 1124 00:56:46,159 --> 00:56:49,400 so those games are probably meaningless. I think it comes 1125 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,400 out of the sun Belt. It's one of those two matchups, 1126 00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:56,079 but here with linden Wood and Little Rock. Like I say, 1127 00:56:56,159 --> 00:57:00,880 not necessarily from a play perspective, but just from a 1128 00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:04,280 college basketball fan perspective, I think this is as good 1129 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,599 as it gets. I do think it's gonna get over. 1130 00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:08,440 The number Adam one forty eight and a half to 1131 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,280 me does seem a little bit light. So for those 1132 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,079 looking for me to commit one way or the other 1133 00:57:12,199 --> 00:57:15,079 on this game, I'll commit to you toward the over 1134 00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:16,760 with a slight lean. If you're sitting there with a 1135 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,800 you know, something to munch on on the couch and 1136 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,719 you want to get your ESPN Plus account out and 1137 00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:25,480 watch this game, certainly you can do that, but it 1138 00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:28,679 should be a really good game. Like I say, I 1139 00:57:28,719 --> 00:57:30,480 thought that the number here one forty eight and a 1140 00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:32,559 half came out a little bit short considering the way 1141 00:57:32,599 --> 00:57:35,840 these two players often talk about Little Rock not being 1142 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:41,559 able to consistently shoot straight. But they've been better from 1143 00:57:41,559 --> 00:57:44,599 the offensive perspective. And Linden Woods a team that will, 1144 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,440 as the first two games indicate, they'll allow you to score. 1145 00:57:47,519 --> 00:57:51,280 I think Little Rock scored like seventy nine and eighty 1146 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,039 two in the two games that they've played against this team. 1147 00:57:54,079 --> 00:57:57,840 So interesting game. That's why I brought it up Conference tournament. 1148 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,400 That's why I brought it up. Leaned toward the total 1149 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,559 over one forty eight and. 1150 00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:05,639 Speaker 1: A half, I'll throw it, so Aaron. 1151 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 2: I promised Aaron Pauling, who's watches the show all the time, 1152 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,280 that as the conference tournaments came about that if I 1153 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,880 had like picks for like, you know, just the conference 1154 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,280 tournament pick, I would I would talk about it when 1155 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,440 I could on the show, since I didn't really have 1156 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,159 one in the horizon and I and I, so here's 1157 00:58:26,159 --> 00:58:29,599 the thing for the sun Belt, I prefer to I'd 1158 00:58:29,639 --> 00:58:32,239 prefer to wait till the later rounds because like, I'm 1159 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,719 just not gonna take any of these early round teams 1160 00:58:34,719 --> 00:58:37,440 in this gauntlet format, and I'd rather sun Belt is 1161 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,480 one where I don't really want to, Like, I'd rather 1162 00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:43,320 just play later if if I can find one. This 1163 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,280 is one where I don't really care for. I don't 1164 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,599 really care for like the top top teams in this league. 1165 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,400 I actually think the winner of this game is gonna 1166 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,639 have a chance to win this league. Like, so one 1167 00:58:55,679 --> 00:58:58,440 of these teams right is gonna feed into Tennessee Martin. 1168 00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:01,360 I think the winner of this game has a real 1169 00:59:01,519 --> 00:59:05,119 chance to make a run in this tournament. So I 1170 00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:07,880 almost think, like Little, you're getting far better odds on 1171 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,559 Little Rock. I think just because of that I would 1172 00:59:10,559 --> 00:59:12,360 take I would prefer Little Rock if I had to 1173 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,960 pick one, But like you could play linden Wood and 1174 00:59:16,039 --> 00:59:21,039 Little Rock maybe stagger them because whoever wins this game, 1175 00:59:21,199 --> 00:59:23,039 I think will have a chance to win their next 1176 00:59:23,039 --> 00:59:26,159 game and then hey, you get down to the semi finals, 1177 00:59:26,719 --> 00:59:29,960 who knows anything could happen. So I'll throw out a 1178 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,039 Little Rock future. You could play both, but I just 1179 00:59:33,079 --> 00:59:35,800 I'm just taking the longer odds there. I think Little 1180 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,559 Rock is big, big odds. It's got to be like, 1181 00:59:39,519 --> 00:59:41,800 I don't know, forty to one. I don't have it 1182 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,119 in front of me. But they're live in my opinion, 1183 00:59:45,639 --> 00:59:48,599 because they just mess with teams. They play that zone 1184 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,400 and if they can score a little bit, like you said, 1185 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,239 sometimes they can't shoot it straight, but if they can 1186 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,400 generate a little offense, I think they're gonna have a chance. 1187 00:59:56,599 --> 00:59:59,199 Speaker 1: So that would be my just like shot in the 1188 00:59:59,280 --> 00:59:59,840 dark future. 1189 01:00:00,039 --> 01:00:03,239 Speaker 2: Hey, Rob, I tweeted Cleveland State at five hundred to 1190 01:00:03,239 --> 01:00:06,400 one the other day, which will probably be a coaster 1191 01:00:06,559 --> 01:00:08,280 after tonight, but I said, hey, if they get those 1192 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,239 two guys back, you know, we'll see so anyway. 1193 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,519 Speaker 4: Real quick before the hockey people get mad at us. 1194 01:00:13,599 --> 01:00:16,079 I found the odds guys, Austin p is the favorite 1195 01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:18,000 to win that tourney. You know, they're the two seed 1196 01:00:18,239 --> 01:00:21,800 plus two oh five. But Lipscomb at plus four seventy five, 1197 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:24,719 Like Adam was just saying about the potential for a 1198 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,960 little rocket, I think Lipscomb they don't have to win 1199 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,159 as many games either because they advanced almost to the 1200 01:00:30,199 --> 01:00:33,639 semi finals almost. So I would try Lipscomb at plus 1201 01:00:33,679 --> 01:00:35,760 four seventy five in the a Sun Tournament. 1202 01:00:36,519 --> 01:00:40,719 Speaker 2: Real quick parlay of the day, Central Connecticut State minus 1203 01:00:40,719 --> 01:00:42,960 four and a half. It's a four percent client play 1204 01:00:43,039 --> 01:00:45,280 for me. But Garth found that one as well. We're 1205 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,880 putting Garth in the parlay. My leg of the parlay 1206 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,880 Florida Gulf Coast minus seven. You can attach the minus 1207 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,480 one twenty five juice. That's an early game in the 1208 01:00:54,519 --> 01:00:58,320 Atlantic Sun Tournament. And then Rob Bino closing US out 1209 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,559 Florida State over seventy two and a half on the 1210 01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:04,880 team total. That's your three teamer today, that's your show. 1211 01:01:05,119 --> 01:01:07,840 We'll be back ten am tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone, 1212 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,840 Let's cash some tickets
