Speaker 1: All right, everyone, welcome in. It is Wednesday.
Speaker 2: It is time for full Court Press and Rob, I've
gotten very positive feedback overall about the fact that we
start the show by recapping the day before. Apparently a
lot of shows don't do that, and so I've gotten
good feedback, but it has also opened me up to
h I forget who said it, but I thought it
was funny. Someone commented they were like, Trig, we are
on your ass in the morning for NJIT, And I said,
all right, you know what, if we're going to do
the recap, it's you know that we got to talk
about the good and the bad. Certainly the bad for
me last night was NJIT. They got blown out and
it cost us our parlay for the show.
Speaker 1: The good for me I went three and two.
Speaker 2: I had five four percent, and I even sort of
noted that, like, you know, I'm kind of going to
play them all road mode right now. Rob, I feel
like my edge is sort of as big as it's
going to be for the rest of the year this week,
next week. You even talked about that a little bit yesterday.
So I made five bets. There were all four percent plays,
and I went and I went three and two. My
big takeaway from yesterday, and I want you to chime
in on this, so I'll sort of finish my thought
here and then we'll go to you. My big takeaway
was my two losses NJIT and Mississippi State were spots
where I was almost trying to play the locker room
psychologist game, if you will, trying to figure out how
much motivation there was on a certain side, and ultimately
I went against two teams that were the better team
that I thought would be maybe less motivated in a
certain spot against the number, of course, right against the
number we're betting against the number that's the equalizer, and
it did not work out. Whereas in the conference tournaments
and the games that were more just like your traditional
game where both teams had something at stake, I hit
all of those tousan UMass and Green Bay three and two.
Speaker 1: For me, How was your night last night? And what
do you have to make of that?
Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things. A.
Speaker 4: We didn't win the parlay, but we had the opportunity
to choose Mississippi State, and we waited that by taking
Alabama over that game over, so that worked out these
spot plays. I think we talked about it a lot, Adam,
these situational spot plays, I feel like they used to
work more often years ago than they do nowadays. Not
sure why, Thomas Howke I mean and your Mississippi State play,
Let's just say that you actually did project that somebody
would sit, maybe multiples, but some a starter would sit
at least and Thomas Hawk sat and Florida got off
to a miserable start, and Todd Golden in the post
game even reflected on that. He said basically that without
he calls them Tommy. Without Tommy in there, the defensive
rotations were something we weren't really used to. We had
to settle in, et cetera, et cetera. And credit to
them in other than being your final home game, not
a game that necessarily needed to be a blowout, but man,
the second half, they just came out and showed that
they're a step a step ahead of the rest of
the SEC. So from that perspective of meaningless game situational
plays to meaning full games, I do get where.
Speaker 3: You're coming from there.
Speaker 4: I just feel like these situations I've tried to kind
of pick and choose on those. My night last night
was four and one, so combined for those who are
mad about Nji T you guys are the ones that
were mad about Eastern Washington the night before.
Speaker 3: Somebody in our comments section was like, a you're wreck
five team parlay with e WU.
Speaker 4: I'm like, come on, man, we're a combined seven and three.
Speaker 3: Last night. If you purchased.
Speaker 4: The CBB Double Fire Powerful Court Press package went seven
and three all different plays. Mine were all totals, Adam,
I'm trying to look mine up so I can just
tell you really quick.
Speaker 3: What we had last night as far as winners were concerned.
Speaker 4: We'll take a couple of seconds to recap here, because
that's what the people want. I had in order for win.
Of course, Oklahoma, which we released here on the show.
Oklahoma did get. The revenge on Missouri was pretty easy too,
and to the eye test real quick, there is a
little off base or or off topic. Oklahoma looks a
lot better right now that they're winning games. His team
was playing hard and couldn't win. Now they're winning games,
William and Mary went back to the well with them.
Team total over nice and easy. They got to ninety
four Grand Canyon air Force. Air Force games over have
been a gold mine this year went or went well,
went about six or seven points over. I'll say Vandy
team total over against Mississippi. Mississipp you have been giving
it up like water for the most part.
Speaker 3: They get there.
Speaker 4: That's four and o and the loser Illinois, And that
was the five dollars Tuesday play. Adam Illinois TEA two
and a half, get to eighty, so you.
Speaker 3: Go four to o.
Speaker 4: But the game the five dollars play that you feature
doesn't get there. But they were all played for the
same amount, so you get a four and one other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did pick the correct I guess five dollars
play yesterday. That was Green Bay for me. Listen, I
had good numbers with nj I T and Mississippi State.
Speaker 1: N G I T went off four.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll stay on the topic of that Florida
game for a second.
Speaker 1: Because we're going to talk.
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you right now, our feature game today
is going to be Texas Arkansas.
Speaker 1: But for me, a lot of my opinions are in
the conference tournament.
Speaker 2: So you know, just just know that that's where I'm
sort of spending most of my time right now. That
being said, let's talk to Texas Arkansas because Rob Well,
I want to go back to Florida. I was at
Arkansas's Arkansas's most recent game on Saturday night in Gainesville,
and so sitting there watching that game, and I couldn't
help but think man like Arkansas, especially as we got
toward the end of the first half and the beginning
of the second half, team.
Speaker 1: Just looked very, very tired.
Speaker 2: Rob like a team that like he almost thought I
was watching. I was just watching John Calipari for a while,
like when you you know, when you're in the building,
you have the luxury of watching looking at and watching
whatever you want to watch. And I really felt like
he was doing his absolute best to get kicked out
of that game, like he desperately wanted to get sent
back to the locker room. I'm shocked he let a
cuff stay in as long as he did, so I
guess the point I'm trying to make here is it's
almost like a boxing match. And Todd Golden commented on
this after the game. I stayed for the ceremony.
Speaker 1: Florida cut the nets down.
Speaker 2: Won the SEC tournament or the SEC regular season, and
they cut the nets down. They had this big celebration
and I stayed there to listen to Golden address the crowd,
and he even Golden's also becoming one of my favorite
coaches where he compliments you even though he just beat
you by forty, like it's almost like backhanded. I wonder
if it's something that's probably why Caliperry doesn't.
Speaker 1: Like him very much.
Speaker 2: But he basically said like Arkansas had more energy out
of the gate, and they did. They Arkansas actually led
that game sixteen to eleven, maybe first eight minutes, eight
to ten minutes. I think Golden called a time out
after Arkansas took a five point lead, and then the
rest of the game it was all Florida to the
point where almost like you saw last night, out of
Florida go down ten, regroup and just destroy a team.
But I want to go back to Arkansas specifically because
to me, they looked tired, they looked fatigue, They had
just played a couple of games prior in the nineties
rob and then they had to deal with Florida. Who Florida.
It seems like on their worst day they're still going
to beat you by twenty at this point. So my
question to you, because I'm really I want to love
Arkansas here, I've been very, very high on this team.
I thought six and a half or seven was a
little light. But I can't get over the fact that
this team might be limping a little bit into the
finish line of the regular season. And then Darius Acuff
might be limping literally because he's been dealing with a
foot injury. So what do you make of all of that?
And do you have an angle in Texas Arkansas for us?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one thing for Arkansas that was problematic is
the fact that they just don't have the front line
to match with Florida. So you can get worn down
pretty quickly trying to use one hundred percent effort and
just continue to get beaten to boards or beaten up
physically underneath that, like you're not used to with Texas.
Vokatitis is one thing, but it's not Florida's front line.
So perhaps this becomes more of a you know, a
i'll call it finesse, but more fluid game for Arkans
in this particular matchup. It's a couple of things here, Adam,
really quick here, I was actually I guess you were
saying your number came out at six and a half or.
Speaker 3: That was what you saw for a line.
Speaker 1: Oh no, my number, My number is like ten and
a half.
Speaker 2: Personally, I saw I saw a couple six and a
halfs and then mostly seven. I was when it got
to six and a half at a couple of books,
I was thinking about jumping in with Arkansas, but no,
personally I'm out like ten and a half here on Arkansas.
Speaker 4: Okay, So a couple of things that don't favor Texas
here for sure. And again I won't go into the
meaningful stuff where seedings are concerned. Rust assure these games,
these last two games for almost every SEC team is
meaningful as to where they're going to be positioned inside
the conference. Certain last night thing shifted once again whence
Oklahoma beat Missouri. Missouri fell out of that top four
and now are five. So things are gonna shift in
the SEC. Every game is important at this point in time.
Arkansas does not turn the ball over and Texas doesn't
turn you over. Meaning behind that is you know Arkansas
is going to get just about every possession when they
have the ball.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a shot for.
Speaker 4: Arkansas, which is good news if you like the razorbackside.
Arkansas doesn't really get to the free throw line. But Texas,
what did Sean Miller tell us a month and a
half ago. We fouled like crazy and they still do.
They're fourteenth in the league and putting opponents on the
free throw line. That's pretty bad. So maybe Arkansas gets
to the line a little more than normal in this
particular case. Texas shoots it pretty well from the interior
inside the arc. Arkansas doesn't defend that. There's a lot
of things here that add up to over for me,
and again, of course, I'm talking about it from a
total's perspective. Now, this number came out fairly high, one
sixty five and a half, bit down to one sixty four.
Speaker 3: There is a one sixty.
Speaker 4: Three and a half out there, and that's probably more
like where it should have opened, probably should have opened
into one sixty three range rather in the MIDI but
I know oddsmakers want to you know, force over betters
immediately to pay at tax just about everything.
Speaker 3: When you know you have offensive teams.
Speaker 4: I still you know it's not Arkansas Alabama, and I
think we found out in a couple of games this
past week where even though there's a lot of intensity
or there's a lot of effort and energy placed into
winning this game. It doesn't always correlate into defense. You
still have to play defense, and I don't know. This
game to me just sets up as more of a
way wide open floor, guys making shots a lot of
I think Arkansas will rim penetration, will get them to
the foul line against this particular team. I think Texas
can do a little bit of the same, could get
handsy in this case. I think in the end you
could see some absolute extension of this game. Even though
it's priced it's seven and a half, I still think
it might be a shade closer than that. Two minutes
left Texas going to fight here. For me, it's probably
going to be a look toward the over Adam. If
I had to play the game, I think Arkansas is
the better team, play the truth, and I think Arkansas
is way more, way more capable in Bud Walton, which
we've highlighted before, of the devastating runs so to speak,
the devastating fourteen to two punch that just puts us
ahead and you can't catch.
Speaker 3: Us at that point in time.
Speaker 4: So I think I would still lean Arkansas at this
price tag, but over if it gets down to one
sixty three, it's probably worth the play for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, no one, no one ever got tired when
the ball was in their hands.
Speaker 1: Rob, That's what you know.
Speaker 2: If you're tired, that that shows up digging in on
the defensive end, not when you're with the ball trying
to go to the rim my thing. Like, I guess
the only thing keeping me off Arkansas because I do
have a pretty strong lean toward the razorbacks here.
Speaker 1: My number suggests A should have played it already.
Speaker 2: I just I was certain that Caliperio would have just
taken the starters out with like fifteen minutes to go.
But it was so clear that they were not getting
back into that game. Like I actually couldn't believe how
long he kept acuff out there, and like, you know,
knowing that he's been dealing with a foot injury, he's
even said like he's even come out and said like
I'm playing hurt, Like you know, but that's I want
to be on the floor. Like if if I knew
that Arkansas was showing up full strength, wasn't banged up
at all, I would expect them to run Texas out
of the gym. The home road splits have been going
on for years with Arkansas, so we know that in
Fayetteville they're they're worthy of that bump against you know,
on the number. And then I'll go back to the
point you mean about vocatitis not being like you know
that that's not going to be something that like what
he's in there, it certainly matters. But if he were
to get in a foul trouble, they what's behind him
is is something that that's where Arkansas's run probably comes.
Like if they can get vocatite in some of that
front court in the file trouble, that's where you can
see him hit the kill shot if you will. I
forget who was as Evamiyah that tracks the kill shots.
I forget someone does. But the point is that ten
oh knockout punch run. Yeah at Hall of Arkansas might
have one or two of those, and you know, just
to you want to just you know, the final sort
of thing for this handicap for me, I know Cali
Perry was not happy, and you know when it's a
guy like Caliperry or a guy like Rick Patino who
he saw the other night, and your team just gets
dusted like typically you can't wait to get back out
on the floor. And you have to wonder you saw
Saint John's similar spread range six. I think they actually
went off seven and a half against Villanova after they
just got slapped around by Yukon, come out and win
by like.
Speaker 1: Thirty or forty.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's going to be that drastic here,
but this certainly feels like it's like a spot where
like you know, like Caliperry's even he's even talked about
like his players not letting him coach them as much
as he would like. That's usually translation they don't have
the thick skin that that I think they need so
I can really lay into them right like that's you know,
those are these old school guys like Caliperi and Patino
coach that way. I think Arkansas responds, this is probably
it's not gonna be my parlay leg It hasn't been
bet for clients yet, but I'm certainly thinking about it,
and this is one that may be an ad for
me as the day. As the day goes on, I
really like the razorbacks here, you know.
Speaker 4: Very typical of John Calipari and his mindset.
Speaker 3: Adam is.
Speaker 4: You know what if you're gonna go out there and
be lazy and you're getting beat by twenty, I'm gonna
leave you out there. You're not coming to the bench.
You're gonna stay out there and you're gonna get beat
by third, you know what I mean. He does that sometimes, yeah,
where we would think, why aren't you pulling your starters.
He's like proving a point. If you're not gonna play,
just stay out there and you can go and be embarrassed.
So and I think the last point to vocatitis, I
think what I was trying to say is that, you know,
if vocatitis is condon for Florida, there's no chin alou
in hawk with him, you know what I meanitis on
his own down there, and for Arkansas that could be
a little easier as far as getting to the rim
and getting rebounds are concerned here tonight.
Speaker 3: So for you know, for.
Speaker 4: Betting purposes obviously for fan watching the game as well,
you hope a cup is gonna be okay. This would
be a poor time of year to see this kid
get hurt and not really be one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: He's been sensational all season long, So we'll leave it
at that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you like a little lean toward Arkansas potentially if
they're at full.
Speaker 3: Strength, and I think there's a little lean toward the
over here.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Best day ever says just
a couple of bucks, two dollars donation. We very much
appreciate you.
Speaker 2: And all right, Garth, Garth is you're in the parlay today.
And the reason you're in the parlay today is because
you have found one of my client plays. And I
am going to give another one out on the show
because I once again I'm probably gonna end up with
four or five, so I've got one to spare. Maybe
I'll give two because this is gonna be Garth's leg
of the parlay. I am nominating him for the third
leg of the three teamer And Garth says dating under
one forty six and a half hit with twenty one
points to spare. Rob and I talked about it when
we got off the show, where like we're like Garth's
moving numbers on the show now because that got absolutely slammed,
like right after he said that, to the point where
it was like a huge move toward the under since
we got off the show. Yeah, that guess that was
good at any number. Garth says he's eleven thirty and
three in his last fourteen. He's going to the NEC
tonight and taking Central Connecticut State minus four and a
half and Garth so, am I, I already met this earlier.
This is a four percent play for me. But this
is gonna be your leg of the parlay though. I'm
gonna give you my reasoning on Central Connecticut State.
Speaker 1: So Rob Vino.
Speaker 2: I was in hard hitting New Britain last year for
the final of the NYC and it was the heartbreaker
of all heartbreakers for Central Connecticut State on their home floor.
They lost as a double digit favorite to Saint Francis
Like at the last second, right at the end of
the game, on a last second shot. A lot of
stunned looks in the crowd and New Britain that was
They were an eleven and a half point favorite. It
was a game they expected to win and of course
get to the NCAA tournament. So obviously it's not the
exact same team, but there's a lot of guys that
were still on that team that are still there. Of course,
Pat Sellers, the head coach, still there. The entire crowd,
I'm sure, I'm sure that's come up. Let's put it
this way. They have a home game, quarterfinal game. I
am sure it's been brought up. Hey, last time you
guys hosted an NEC tournament game on this floor, remember
what happened? You don't want that feeling again, right like
that is I'm certain, and it was part of sellers
sort of sell if you will, to his team this week.
I look at the NEC outside of Long Island, I
still think Central Connecticut State is the second best team.
So to me, they should expect to be in the
final this year. Obviously there'll be the tables will be turned,
they'll probably be on the road, But as far as
this game is concerned, listen Wagner. They had a great
run to end any c play, but there was a
point in time where they were one and seven in
this league.
Speaker 1: This year.
Speaker 2: For me, they've always been one of the bottom teams
in this league. I think it was almost like, you know,
good fortune if you will, rob catching some teams at
the right time. And then of course Wagner is just
gonna chuck threes that that is what they're gonna do.
And to their credit, they've hit enough of them. They've
kind of been red hot on this run, but they've
also hit enough of them to like, in my opinion, like,
you know, put up this charade that they're like a
good team in this league. But to me, if you play,
like if Wagner was to play the top teams enough,
they'd probably get blasted almost every game, and especially on
the road, it's really tough. We talked about it this
yesterday or the day before, I forget what game it was,
but teams that are just gonna chuck from three point
range tend to not do it as well on the road.
It's like much harder to go on the road if
you're like super jump shot reliant and go into someone
else's gym and just shoot the lights out.
Speaker 1: So for me, I thought this number was light. I
was at seven and a half here.
Speaker 2: So Garth, I'm with you, Central Connecticut State minus four
and a half the client play for me, and that's
gonna be Garth's lag in the parlay rob anything for
you in CCSU, Wagner, No.
Speaker 4: But I want to keep Garth in here for a second.
I know you're in the chat, so I'm just gonna
bring a game up. But the conference tournament.
Speaker 1: Game Yeah, you can go to a different game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna give the people what they want game
a little something extra here. But Garth, first of all,
I did drop in the comments actually compliment you great
pick with dayton Under yesterday. But let me just point
out that in the Summit League tonight Oral robertson UMKC
or Kansas City as they like to be called now
the Kangaroos. We were on Saturday Adam on Last Call
with Kelly when Garth dropped in with how about UNKC
under their team total against who Oral Roberts. They just
played this game like three days ago or four days ago,
and that final score went ninety four to seventy.
Speaker 3: O are U UMKC.
Speaker 4: We've talked about it a lot, Marvin Menzies and the
disaster that's been their season, their inability to score points.
Speaker 3: ODU.
Speaker 4: I think that's the second time this year I believe
that they beat UMKC. Yeah, sixty nine to sixty the
first time, ninety four to seventy the second time. I
don't know that there's a real reason to like UMKC
in this game. So my lead would be Oral Roberts.
But Garth chime in here, really quick. If you can
just comment inside the section that team total tonight in
sixty nine and a half or UMKC they just got
to seventy, I would be inclined. Remember now that in
the Summit they play all the games at Sanford Premier Center,
which is a gym in South Dakota, So it's somewhat
favors the South Dakota Coyotes in South Dakota state, but
not a ton I used to give this like maybe
half credit for a home floor, not a ton of credit.
But how about UMKC staying under tonight? He liked it Saturday.
I like it tonight. I don't see UMKC getting back
to seventy again, just really quick here. In that game Saturday,
because it was such a blowout ninety four to seventy, the.
Speaker 3: Game kind of got.
Speaker 4: A little score happy in the end. But for UMKC
in that game they got the seventy and still didn't
even average one point per possession. I don't know that
they can do it here, Adam. It was an initial
look of mine. Choice was played or Roberts over their
team total or play UMKC under their total. I've revert
back to umkc's just had such offensive difficulties all season
long that I would play that under sixty nine and
a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I commented when we were on the show the
other day.
Speaker 2: Actually, I think this was sort of the the kind
of conversation we had twice now since we've talked about
UMKC in each of their last two games, where it's
just like, I mean, this team's really just kind of
playing out the string. They know, they know that they're
you know that it's a it's going to be a
they're going to clean house after this season, right, like
new coach probably knew everything.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how many of these players still, Like,
how many are even on the team next year. It
almost seems like like turgent, Yeah, I mean, he may
keep if there's anyone that shows her anemon quality, he
may keep them, but it's probably a bench guy here
or there.
Speaker 1: Garth has chimed in.
Speaker 2: He says, he says, to quote to quote Joe rn Ai,
if it's not broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1: That's kind of.
Speaker 2: How That's kind of how I feel like the approach
to UMKC should be. Listen, their season is likely over
after today, even Oral Roberts having a down year, is
still an eight and a half point favorite in this game.
So to think that umk C, which they really haven't
shown up at all recently, just like goes up to
South Dakota and shows up here, I don't see it.
This is almost like these are the types of teams
rob that other conferences are no longer bringing to their
conference tournament. Right, Like a lot of the other leagues
have said, you know what, we don't even we don't
need to do this, right, we don't need to bring
UMKC up to take their beating, just to send them
back home. The summit, it looks like, is bringing everyone,
And so you're gonna have this first round game where
like whereas Oral Roberts like they've had a bad season,
but they've at least looked dangerous at times. So again,
do I want to like necessarily lay eight and a
half with Oral Roberts. Not really, But it's the way
I would go in this game because I think UMKC
is like pretty far off from at least where Oral
Roberts is at this point. And so then you're talking
like I don't think there's any chance UMKC wins here.
So when I get to that point, obviously they have
a chance to cover. You're talking about four possessions. But
to me, it looks like if they're gonna be down
by six or by eight, they might just like pack
it in and it's just like all right, we're especially
if they get down big early, like this team has
shown no fight for in my opinion, So yeah, and
then maybe you're under as good as well. And I
think that's what Garth's kind of saying. He'd probably if
he had to, he'd probably go back to the well
with that. So it's a good, uh interesting one there
up in Sioux Falls tonight the first round of the
Summit League Tournament.
Speaker 4: Me, first off, I'm just gonna comment a couple of years.
First off, Garth, I'm not letting Ranieri take credit for anything.
He gets credit for enough around here. If it ain't
if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Goes back to
when we used to do the NBA show Daily Together,
Joe would host myself a key prophet. It was a
common phrase on that show. Robert Harris was a producer
back then. So no, no, no, I'm not letting that
sliders a verniery thing. No way he gets enough credit
for other stuff. Second thing is this is different, Adam,
and I think it's why we talk about situational all
the time, and there's no general umbrella to throw things under.
We're gonna talk a lot the next couple of weeks
about teams that didn't win their conference championship that get
revitalized by a conference tournament and become dangerous. Whether they're
a second place team or an eighth place team. You
see teams make runs in these tournaments. UMKC just doesn't
fit that bill. In my mind, there's nothing that revitalizes
them after getting beat by twenty four three days ago
by the team that they're coming into face tonight off
of a season where I don't know, one in sixteen
or whatever they were in summer league play and can't score,
and the coach the whole disaster. They just probably wanted
to come to an end. So I think that's a
little bit different than what we'll talk about in a
lot of these instances. And like I said, when you
get beat by twenty four three days ago and you're
just a lousy team, or Roberts knows they can beat
him by twenty four again, and I don't believe or
Roberts has to play the next day either.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Summit League tournament.
Speaker 4: Is set up that way where you play back to
back to where we're watching these sun Belt teams go back.
The more you win, the more you play in the
sun Belt, you may be playing from now till Sunday
or till Saturday if you're one.
Speaker 3: Of the teams that won last night. So I like
the UMKC under tonight.
Speaker 2: Rob one final point though, is like one final point
is oral. Roberts may actually fit that bill right. They
are the type of team where it's like they come
out and win here, like they're they profile as a
team that could be a little bit dangerous, whereas like, yeah,
I think uh umk C probably knows they have no
chance and.
Speaker 1: It's it's likely an effort that it probably looks like that.
So again, a.
Speaker 4: Real quick I think Max asmis is that right. Paul
Mills had him at or You in the the last
couple of years and and they were getting to the tournament.
But it's a kind of a new system for this
team that towards the end of the year, maybe it's
just UMKC. Maybe they are getting a little better, but
you're absolutely right. It's the type of thing that could
rejuvenate Oral Roberts.
Speaker 3: Hey, we got a shot here.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on first, I will do our
quick well first, I'll think we have a couple of
donations with with no pick attached. So I'll take the
time to say we very much appreciate that. I appreciate
you guys tuning into the show. If you like what
you hear here, we have a great special up. It's
either three days of all access myself and Rob all
of our picks, or you can get everything through the
NCAA tournament, which means all the small tournaments, all the
conference tournaments. It's from a value standpoint per play, there's
there's almost no better time a year to do it.
So again that that's up there. If you are so inclined,
All right, let's go back to the chat and let's
go back to uh the the main board. If you
will hear Rob, uh, this is a This is another
one that I thought about making the feature today. I
was I was torn between Arkansas Texas and this game.
And I still think Arkansas Texas is a bigger game.
But Miami has been sort of the bane of my
existence this year. Thankfully, I haven't bet against them very often,
even though like every time they come up, I'm inclined
to do so. And I did have a five percent
winner against them maybe a week or week and a
half ago. I took Virginia Tech plus the points, a
game that somehow Miami found away and then had the
benefit of not having a file called on them at
the end and a ball that sort of rimmed out.
Speaker 1: Believe they won that game by one.
Speaker 2: They are now rob six and one in their last
seven games. Their only loss in that span is a
three point loss to Virginia where they covered. But I
still can't get behind this Miami team. It's still I
look at the schedule they've played, it's still like the
easiest schedule of anyone in the ACC. Of course, the
one loss in that seven game stretch was the toughest game,
right that they had. That was the one real big
time test you could point and say say, well, trigged
they beat UNC. But if you remember, they beat UNC
right after UNC had their crazy upset last second shot
win against Duke. So again, this is just Miami catching
catching everyone in the in the ideal spot. I don't
think that's the case here, Rob they're catching Now it's
SMU that's in the desperate spot here.
Speaker 1: Back to back losses.
Speaker 2: They lose both games to the to the West Coast
ACC teams get swept by cal and Stanford. So for once,
is Miami in the bad spot?
Speaker 1: Here? Is this good? Is this the good spot for SMU?
We're in Texas.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about SMU Miami because I can't seem
to get the Hurricanes right.
Speaker 4: First off, kudos to Quinn Lannigan five six four for
bringing this game up, because when I brought up UMKC,
I was almost going to bring this up just to
get your view on Miami. Listen, Miami's not in a
bad spot here tonight, because there's no way, at least
my opinion, there's no way I'm getting behind SMU without
BJ Edwards did not play set got hurt two games ago,
and then you know, I wanted to play SMU the
other day against Stanford. I said I can't chance it
without him in the lineup.
Speaker 3: And what do they do?
Speaker 4: They want and get beat by twenty. This team is
offense only, and when you take that important of a
cog out of there and all reports I've read this
morning when I was checking this game out, the ankle
leaves him still doubtful and probably not.
Speaker 3: Going to play.
Speaker 4: They're probably gonna stave him for the conference tournament, and
so boopy Miller on his own in Moody. I know
it's a nice home floor, but again, Miami catches a
favorable spot in my opinion, where this team doesn't have
their second best scoring option on the floor, puts in
a lot of minutes, does a lot of things for
this team when Miller's not going well. Edwards is and
like I say, that results Saturday just threw me right
off of SMU here. I'm actually, it's got to be
and I'd be interested to know what your number is
on this game, But it's got to be that the
odds maker has it built in already. But I would
think that early this morning money would have moved toward
the Miami side.
Speaker 3: It hasn't.
Speaker 4: That must mean that money feels like it's already been
incorporated into the line, But I just don't. I think
the value of this kid is unheralded to and bet
a lot of SMU totals this year and having watched
a lot of SNU basketball and the NFL, one thing
they don't do is play defense. One thing Miami does
is play defense. One other thing that SMU needs is
all their offensive pieces on the floor to be good.
Now you could say maybe they work through through some
things one game without him on the floor. Maybe that
was problematic for them. How the heck can we adjust
here without Edwards on the floor. Maybe they've got answers. Now,
I don't know. I'm not buying into that school of
thought either. So for me at this price, tag man,
it's got to be Miami for me or nothing at all.
I even looked at Total, thinking, well, maybe SMU will
still score. If I was gonna play total here, I
wouldn't want to exclude them. But I'm not as confident
as I usually am playing SMU overs. I think Miami
is probably the right side here.
Speaker 3: We'll see. But I just to me Edwards means that much.
Speaker 2: My number is SMU minus one point seven. Now, I
want to make something clear, like I will take a
player out and and I'll just the number based on
what I think the player means to the number. But
that does not mean like then I need to go
and say, well, what does this person mean to the handicap?
And I do agree with you there. So even though
even though my numbers is still in line with what
the market is SMU minus one point seven, and that
has factored in Edward's not being there. Like so for me,
I'm just gonna look at this from the Miami angle
for a minute. Trey Donaldson has just been so good
that I almost have I this is this is like
I've had to get off of my Oh well, Miami
is this fraud team because they haven't really played anyone
and they keep catching everyone in a good spot. There's
an element of truth to that. Listen like that that's undisputable.
Go look at schedule ranks of ACC teams. They have
played a much easier schedule than that, a lot like
the next ACC team they have.
Speaker 1: It's an eighteen team league. They let anyone in now, Rob,
so I can't I've lost count.
Speaker 2: I think it's a think we have eighteen teams in
ACC for basketball because of course we have Notre Dame
in there for basketball, and they're right down there at
the bottom seventeenth or eighteenth in strength the schedule in conference.
Speaker 1: So that's undisputable.
Speaker 2: But what you what you can't dispute is the fact
that they've they show up pretty much every game, even
that one loss, even that one loss. So it February,
they're six and and the one loss was in Charlottesville,
and I would say that it was probably one of
Miami's better performances because they hung around and covered. They
were right there with a very very good Virginia team.
Go on the road to Florida State, no problem, win
by ten, destroy BC over the weekend, you know, find
a way to win at NC State. That was a
game where they were dead to rights and came back
and won. You know, still get credit. They still beat
North Carolina even though it wasn't a great spot for UNC.
Speaker 1: So again it's like.
Speaker 2: I've wanted to go against them because I feel like
the way I think they should be.
Speaker 1: Vulnerable on the road here. But I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 2: I did not find any really good reason to want
to want to back SMU, so that this was kind
of one that I passed on.
Speaker 1: And then, of course, Rob when SMU wins, I'll be
pissed at myself. It'll be like there, it was, there,
it was, you.
Speaker 4: Know, it's interesting because Jie Luca is the head coach
of Miami. In almost every inter you I've seen with
him this year, multiple interviews or reading quotes from him,
he brings in their team identity under his leadership is
physical play. We played physical, we played You'll hear Lucas
say that constantly. SMU doesn't play physical. SMU so finesse.
And when you get into analytics like Miami's offensive rebounding
versus SMU's defensive rebounding, it's not close. Miami's going to
be the team on the boards tonight. Maybe the second chances,
et cetera, et cetera, Miami somehow, some way gets to
the free throw line more than anybody in the ACC
and ACC game. So that's another just fundamental matchup aspect
of this game that doesn't suit SMU. And if they
had Edwards, I would say to you, Adam, to counter
that that SMU speed and up and down the floor
nature is probably going to hurt Miami a little bit.
Speaker 3: They don't like it.
Speaker 4: They score a lot of points, but they don't necessarily
like to go that way. So interesting game. I'm only
off of it.
Speaker 3: Because of Edwards not being there.
Speaker 4: SMU's got some meaningful parts and he's one of them.
Speaker 1: All right, Rob, it is uh.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go if you want to, if
you know your parlay leg I'll let you go.
Speaker 1: If not, I'll go.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to the chat. So I'm giving you
the right of refusal here.
Speaker 1: I guess you.
Speaker 4: Would call Yeah, I'm gonna use it and we'll go
to the chat right now.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, so this is good because we
can kill a couple birds with one stone. Best day ever,
says Jacksonville Bellerman. Any insight, I actually have quite a
bit of insight here, just in general to the Atlantic
Sun Tournament. I was just down in Florida this weekend.
I got to catch two A Sun games and also
got to talk to some folks about the new tournament format.
So I think it's uh, we will talk about Jacksonville Bellerman,
but I also want to give some general thoughts out
out on the Atlantic Sun Tournament because I know you
degenerates are gonna bet these games all afternoon because they're
the only ones on this afternoon. So what I'm gonna
do here, Rob, start to look at the A Sun
Tournament bracket. We are rather than just focus on Jacksonville Bellerman.
We're gonna have this. This next sort of ten minutes
is just gonna be a Sun Tournament discussion, so we
might actually give you more than than one game here.
The tournament is now located in Jacksonville. Okay, they're using
three venues, so Jacksonville Swisher Gym will host one of
the sites, but Jacksonville can't play there. UNF Arena, where
I was on Thursday, great little spot, I.
Speaker 1: Got you, I got my North Florida hoodie on.
Speaker 2: Right now is is another host site but jackson but
North Florida can't play there, So Jacksonville will play their
games at North Florida. North Florida will play their games
at Jacksonville. And I think they may use Veterans Memorial
Downtown for like the final. That's the big arena in Jacksonville.
That's like the I don't think anyone plays there. It's
just what like Jacksonville uses for like big concerts and
stuff like that. So I think there's three venues for
this tournament, So Jacksonville Bellerman will be at UNF Arena
at now. I believe this is the noon game right here.
I had a nice winner with Jacksonville on Saturday. It
was more of a fade of North Florida and Rob
they were you want to talk about just a no
sweat winner. They were up, they were up forty nine
to like seventeen at one point in that game, and
they were like a pick. So Jacksonville came in and
just absolutely mauled UNF. And I guess the what's notable
from that as it pertains to this game is it
was in the UNF arena.
Speaker 1: So Jacksonville just played on this floor.
Speaker 2: They played extremely well on this floor, and they blew
out North Florida. Now Bellerman is better than North Florida.
North Florida plays no defense, and you know they that there.
They've just been bad this year. They're like seven and
twenty four. So this particular game for me was a
little bit of a toss up. So I'm gonna let
you jump in here to just answer the question for
best they ever. Do you have anything on Jacksonville Bellerman?
And if not, is there anything in the A ten
in the A Sun tournament that catches your eye?
Speaker 3: You know? Real quick?
Speaker 4: And while you were talking, I was trying to bring
up the conference tournament odds because somebody asked us the
other day, can we talk about conference tournament futures?
Speaker 3: And I didn't quite get to the spot.
Speaker 4: Where I get the odds here, but I do have
two thoughts on this, and Central Arkansas is the number
one seed in the tournament. For me, Adam, I would
definitely take a shot with Lipscomb in this tournament the
four seed. Now, in order to get there, they're gonna
have to go through Central Arkansas. They're in that half
of the bracket and the bottom half of the bracket.
I don't know what the odds are on Austin P,
but Austin P is probably I know.
Speaker 3: Central Arkansas is the one seed.
Speaker 4: From what I've seen, Austin P is probably the best
team in this So those are two that I would
look at to win the tournament. The two win the four,
you're gonna get a better number on Lipscomb. Obviously, Again,
I don't have them in front of me, So chat
if you can help me out here and just let
me know what these conference tournament odds are. I think
I don't think the one is gonna win here. I
think Queen's is gonna be a fan favorite type choice
to win this. I don't think Queen's is gonna win this.
Lipscom's got a lot of program history and they have
a team that's capable of this. And again, I think
the best all around team here is gonna be Austin
p But I want to take this is halfway funny,
halfway serious, because we took a lot of s blank
t asterisk for discussing Florida Gulf Coast the other day.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm glad you're bringing them up because that's where
I was going next, So go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the chat was not half First of all,
they weren't happy to hear about Florida Golf Coast for
five six minutes. Second of all, they weren't happy that
we kind of thought Florida Golf Coast was in a
pretty good spot. But they played North Alabama here and
they probably are in a good spot in my mind
in this particular game against North Alabama. Now they've taken
some money. I think if you got to the window
early and got a six and a half, you're in
good shape. These eights are starting to pop up now
seven and a halfs are still available.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: But for every reason that we started to give the
other day about why Florida Golf Coast was a play
against North Florida and in fact that it's a game
you were at, and it's a game where FGCU had
a first half lead and looked kind of easy, and
maybe they thought it was too easy. But I don't
think that'll be the case today. I think it's good
for them to enter the tournament kind of in that fashion.
And North Alabama to me, doesn't pose much of a threat.
So you know, again, a eight is a tough number,
but I don't know I would still lean that way
at seven and a half.
Speaker 3: And there's plenty of seven and a half's out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so ACU, there's plenty of seven and a half.
There's like the eight is like rogue at this point,
it's it's seven and seven and a half is pretty
much where it is. I do think it moves to
eight at some point. Best day eversus Adam is cooking.
Speaker 1: I gotta throw that up there. Love to see that.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that, attached a donation to it. Appreciate you,
all right, So here's the deal. Yeah that I I
had to sit there, not only once, I had to
sit there and watch Florida Golf Coast twice this weekend
because when I went to Stetson on Saturday afternoon, that
was Stetson's opponent, Rob, I have not seen it that
team was so uninterested in playing basketball last weekend that
it was like, so, here's here's what happened to FGCU,
and this is the This is a perfect example of
what I was trying to illustrate with why I'm maybe
gravitating more toward conference tournaments right now instead of the
final game of the regular season for some of these teams.
FGCU came out, played a great first half against UNF
They were up nine at half. Things didn't go their
way in the second half. They ended up getting out played,
they lost, and then on Saturday they could not have
cared less about that game at Stetson.
Speaker 1: It just didn't really mean much. And you could just
tell that they rolled in there and were like, we
are ready to go home. They lost.
Speaker 2: They got dominated by a Stetson team that should not
be dominating anyone that is not a good basketball team, okay,
and they got straight up dominated from the opening tip
like it was.
Speaker 1: You know, it was just not a good not a
good road trip for Florida. Gulf Coast.
Speaker 2: I still think this team has some juice, especially against
the bottom teams in this league. And now, like for me,
the fact that they get to reset. Okay, that weekend
went horrible, it's a clean slate. Now we're playing for
for our season. I think you're gonna see a much
better effort from an FGCU team today that, in my opinion,
is much.
Speaker 1: Better than North Alabama.
Speaker 2: So Rob, I am going seven minus one twenty for
my parlay Legue Florida Gulf Coast. Okay, you can still
and if you have you know what I'm actually gonna do.
I'm gonna put seven minus one twenty five because I
know some people that only have limited options may may
have to lay minus one thirty in the parlay.
Speaker 1: I actually there was a point in time this morning
where I.
Speaker 2: Thought about FGCU minus six and a half and I
kind of wanted to see, how you know, I kind
of just like I already have three other plays locked in.
I'm kind of kicking myself. I wish I just locked
in that six and a half. I'd love to have
that for clients right now. But yeah, I think they're
gonna blast North Alabama if this gets hit back in
the other direction and this gets back down to a
playable seven. I probably will put that out there for clients,
but that's gonna be my parlay leg because that Central
Connecticut State game, even though it's a client plate for me,
that's Garth's league in the parlay. So we're putting Garth
in the parlay today. So I am on Florida Golf Coast.
We'll get some afternoon action. Best they ever wanted to
talk a Sun tournament, and that is, in my opinion,
the strong prob I have opinions on the others, but
that's probably the strongest of the four A Sun games
for me.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see Florida Golf Coast play much
better today.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad we're a ligne there, Rob, Glad you
saw it that way, because I wasn't sure if I
was gonna bring it up, but it's been brought up
and we're gonna be on FGCU so and best day ever.
Just to answer your specific question, I guess if you
forced me to, I would go Bellerman, but I really
did not have a strong opinion in that particular game.
So so anyway, So just to just to circle back,
and answer the question if you force me to. In
the early game, I'd pick Bellerman, but I do not
have nearly as strong of a take as I do
on Florida Golf Coast, which is game number two. All Right, Robino,
they're asking for you in the chat. What is the
third leg of the parlay going to be?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Again, it's always it always comes down to choice here, Adam,
And I'll tell you this.
Speaker 3: Under consideration.
Speaker 4: Here were UAB minus one and a half against Charlotte
on the road. Indy Kennedy's team is so much better
on the road than they have been at home.
Speaker 2: It's I would talk if that's a game, keep going,
but I have an opinion in that one.
Speaker 1: But continue.
Speaker 4: And watching them play North Texas on Sunday set basketball
back about fifty years.
Speaker 3: Offensively, it was brutal.
Speaker 4: But the reason why I have an eye on UAB
tonight is they are getting healthier and the final piece
of the puzzle maybe back tonight. If Amad Robinson plays,
might not. I don't think it'll matter. It's for it's
a seating type game. It means a lot to both.
They're tied inside the American standings. Games in Charlotte, but
that UAB was under consideration. But I'm gonna go to
my go to route here and play a team total.
I just don't understand why Florida State's team total tonight
against Pitt is seventy two and a half minus won
twenty five. Makes zero sense Luke Lus's team, And I
guess I won't say zero sense because Pitt plays like
a snail. Jeff Capele tries to I mean, if he
could shrink the game, intwo, let's just play fifteen minutes, guys,
he would do it, because Pitt just is. They just
don't have the personnel to go forty with a lot
of these ACC teams, and they certainly don't have the
personnel to go with a team that goes at the
pace of Florida State. Florida State's played very very well
down the backstretch, down the home stretch here for in
the ACC.
Speaker 3: For Louk's head coach. They got off to kind of
a sluggish start.
Speaker 4: Team that we recognized early on is one that you know,
to quote us in January just want to chuck threes.
They do chuck a lot of threes, but they've done
a lot better since then. As well, Pittsburgh does nothing
good at this point in time, Adam. They may score
on Florida State because Florida State doesn't play a heck
of a lot of defense. But the number absolutely shocked
me here, seventy two and a half team total. I
think I'm playing the number way more than I'm even
playing the team. And I like Florida State as a
scoring type team. So for me tonight in a game
against pitt in a game where let me just really
quick here, I had a note, I had something in
my notes about the standings here where Florida State is concerned. Yeah,
they're in this eight and eight bracket with SMU and CAL,
and it's very possib but you just heard us talk
about Miami of Florida and SMU. It's very possible that
SMU loses tonight, and it's very possible that CAL loses
as well and gives Florida State with a win one
hand up inside that bracket. They're moving them up to standing.
So for me tonight, it's going to be Florida State
team total over seventy two and a half minus a quarter.
As much as pitt wants to slow the game down
and think Florida State will still get their opportunities, and
seventy three just is not allowed to ask for from.
Speaker 3: This team in my estimation.
Speaker 4: So give me that as the parlay leg Florida State
team total up and over seventy two and a half,
and it does come with minus one twenty five attached
to it.
Speaker 2: Sorry say that, Say say your team total again one
more time. I got the minus one twenty five.
Speaker 1: What was the number?
Speaker 3: Seventy two and a half.
Speaker 2: So FSU over seventy two point five, Okay, I just
wanted to make sure I got it right, all right, Yeah,
I mean I had to remind myself. I forgot Pitt
had a basketball program for a second rob like I
over here. I forgot I thought their season was canceled.
I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. And
that's how relevant they've become, which is insane to someone
that grew up going to Syracuse basketball games and as
grew up in Big East territory like to not have
Pit be an entity in college basketball.
Speaker 1: It's just just sad.
Speaker 2: Those Syracuse pit games are some of the best ones
I went to growing up, and the fact that they
are now scrapping to get in to the fifteen team
ACC tournament field row. They might not even make the
conference tournament. So you want to talk about the side
here real quick. They might need to They might need
to win this game just to get into the conference
tournament if they lose, Like they're in a battle, a
dogfight with Notre Dame in Boston College to get that
last spot. There's only one spot open for three teams
right now, and that that's uh. You know, they've got
a leg up on BC because they've got the extra win,
but they're sitting there at four and twelve and Notre
Dame is at four and twelve. You know what I'm
gonna do, I let's I think people would rather hit
one more game then hear me just like talk about
the state of pit basketball. And I have no opinion
outside of your opinion on this game. So I'm gonna
I'm gonna hop into the chat, yeah and see see
what we can.
Speaker 1: We'll get another game here.
Speaker 2: Just while I'm looking slick Mick says, Yeah, Pitt comes
off that big win, and now like they might be like,
I don't know, I think Pitt's gonna be very focused
on trying to win this game.
Speaker 1: They really want to.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they want to go to the a SEC tournament,
but I have no uh, I have nothing to say.
All right, here's here's what we're gonna we gotta talk.
I I prefer to stay in the conference tournaments, so
maybe we'll get more than one. I'm just gonna go
real quick. I usually don't do rapid fire on the show,
but I'll give you a chance to pull up one
more game. Jay buff is going to the Lemoyne game
tonight and he will be very, very upset if I
do not touch on Stonehill Lemoyne. So here's the deal
with that game. Stone Hill's best player did not play
over the weekend, okay, and yet they still beat Lemoyne
without him. But that that was a oh I'm sorry,
that was last weekend. Stone Hill's best player did not
play over the over the weekend and they lost to Mercyhurst. Okay,
So what I meant to say was stone Hill beat
Lemoyne twice in the regular season, and now they might
be without one of their best players.
Speaker 1: No, he's probably their best players.
Speaker 2: Coffee ko f f I did not play over the weekend,
so to me, like when I saw that open seven. Okay,
my number was was quite a bit off there, Jay
buff I was closer to like three. So I would
look towards stone Hill, especially because sometimes Robin these smaller leagues,
you look at the you look at how the meeting
played out twice during the regular season, and it's like
if if one team's just better than the other team
or has the like, I don't know that I trust
Lemoyne to make all sorts of adjustments to just be
like so much better in the third game. You know,
they struggled with Stonehill twice. Now you mean to tell
me they're gonna lay seven. But if Coffee is out
for stone Hill, that makes a difference to me. So,
Jay buff I, I like this Lamoyne team this year.
They can defend, they are the one. They are maybe
a team that I could see making an adjustment just
because their defense has been very solid in the context
of this league. But I would really want to know
the status of stone Hill's best player. If he's in,
I'd be more inclined to take the points with stone
Hill because I think it's a big number. If he's out,
then maybe, you know, maybe this is a spot where
Lemoyne like gets double Revenge because they lost the first
two meetings. Rob, you don't have to talk stone Hill
and Mooyne. I'm going to let you finish this show
with a game that you want to talk about. You
can pick it from the chat, you can pick it
from your list. Just just give us one other thought
before we close it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go to the Ohio Valley tonight.
Speaker 4: Adam in a game that I think is as interesting
as any Little Rock linden Wood they played twice this year.
They split the season series. Both games were really close.
Both games were higher scoring than what the total suggests.
It'll be tonight. I think the lowest scoring game they
played was one fifty three. They played as recently as
February tenth, So there's a couple of games tonight where
you find that the teams have that two matchups. But
there was one instance, and I'm forgetting off the top
of my head, but they haven't played since January fifth,
so those games are probably meaningless. I think it comes
out of the sun Belt. It's one of those two matchups,
but here with linden Wood and Little Rock. Like I say,
not necessarily from a play perspective, but just from a
college basketball fan perspective, I think this is as good
as it gets. I do think it's gonna get over.
The number Adam one forty eight and a half to
me does seem a little bit light. So for those
looking for me to commit one way or the other
on this game, I'll commit to you toward the over
with a slight lean. If you're sitting there with a
you know, something to munch on on the couch and
you want to get your ESPN Plus account out and
watch this game, certainly you can do that, but it
should be a really good game. Like I say, I
thought that the number here one forty eight and a
half came out a little bit short considering the way
these two players often talk about Little Rock not being
able to consistently shoot straight. But they've been better from
the offensive perspective. And Linden Woods a team that will,
as the first two games indicate, they'll allow you to score.
I think Little Rock scored like seventy nine and eighty
two in the two games that they've played against this team.
So interesting game. That's why I brought it up Conference tournament.
That's why I brought it up. Leaned toward the total
over one forty eight and.
Speaker 1: A half, I'll throw it, so Aaron.
Speaker 2: I promised Aaron Pauling, who's watches the show all the time,
that as the conference tournaments came about that if I
had like picks for like, you know, just the conference
tournament pick, I would I would talk about it when
I could on the show, since I didn't really have
one in the horizon and I and I, so here's
the thing for the sun Belt, I prefer to I'd
prefer to wait till the later rounds because like, I'm
just not gonna take any of these early round teams
in this gauntlet format, and I'd rather sun Belt is
one where I don't really want to, Like, I'd rather
just play later if if I can find one. This
is one where I don't really care for. I don't
really care for like the top top teams in this league.
I actually think the winner of this game is gonna
have a chance to win this league. Like, so one
of these teams right is gonna feed into Tennessee Martin.
I think the winner of this game has a real
chance to make a run in this tournament. So I
almost think, like Little, you're getting far better odds on
Little Rock. I think just because of that I would
take I would prefer Little Rock if I had to
pick one, But like you could play linden Wood and
Little Rock maybe stagger them because whoever wins this game,
I think will have a chance to win their next
game and then hey, you get down to the semi finals,
who knows anything could happen. So I'll throw out a
Little Rock future. You could play both, but I just
I'm just taking the longer odds there. I think Little
Rock is big, big odds. It's got to be like,
I don't know, forty to one. I don't have it
in front of me. But they're live in my opinion,
because they just mess with teams. They play that zone
and if they can score a little bit, like you said,
sometimes they can't shoot it straight, but if they can
generate a little offense, I think they're gonna have a chance.
Speaker 1: So that would be my just like shot in the
dark future.
Speaker 2: Hey, Rob, I tweeted Cleveland State at five hundred to
one the other day, which will probably be a coaster
after tonight, but I said, hey, if they get those
two guys back, you know, we'll see so anyway.
Speaker 4: Real quick before the hockey people get mad at us.
I found the odds guys, Austin p is the favorite
to win that tourney. You know, they're the two seed
plus two oh five. But Lipscomb at plus four seventy five,
Like Adam was just saying about the potential for a
little rocket, I think Lipscomb they don't have to win
as many games either because they advanced almost to the
semi finals almost. So I would try Lipscomb at plus
four seventy five in the a Sun Tournament.
Speaker 2: Real quick parlay of the day, Central Connecticut State minus
four and a half. It's a four percent client play
for me. But Garth found that one as well. We're
putting Garth in the parlay. My leg of the parlay
Florida Gulf Coast minus seven. You can attach the minus
one twenty five juice. That's an early game in the
Atlantic Sun Tournament. And then Rob Bino closing US out
Florida State over seventy two and a half on the
team total. That's your three teamer today, that's your show.
We'll be back ten am tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone,
Let's cash some tickets
