1
00:00:02,839 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in everybody. It is Wednesday. It is

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,199
time for full court press. I was just telling Brian

3
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:12,480
Power off air, I typically typically don't go out for

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:13,720
beers on a Tuesday night.

5
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:15,359
Speaker 2: Haven't done that in a very long time.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: But that was a nice win for Syracuse last night,

7
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:20,600
and ye know we had to go get one after

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,239
the game. So but we're here and we're ready to

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,199
talk another great slate of college basketball. Brian Power gonna

10
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:30,359
go right to you, and then we'll bring in Rob.

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,320
How is your night and kick us off. We've got

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,079
more big games, more ACC SEC challenge Louisville, Arkansas.

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned it was a fun night out for you, Trig.

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,960
Fun night for a good night for the QS upsetting Tennessee.

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,119
Obviously good night for the ACC. I bring that up

16
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:51,560
because obviously the ACC SEC challenge carries over to today.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,079
Speaker 2: The ACC.

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,799
Speaker 3: If I have my tally correct, Trig and Rob went

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,560
six and three head to head last night. I think

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,479
it's a little surprising considering where most people have those

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,799
two respective conferences pegged. Everyone you know believes right, wrong

22
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:08,640
or otherwise. The SEC is the elite in college sports,

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,719
at least football basketball. But last night the ACC got

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,040
the upper end. Not just qs'es win impressed me, Trig.

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
But how about North Carolina going to Kentucky. That was

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,640
pretty impressive as well. But tonight the headliner as far

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
as last night for me, I split my two college plays. Guys.

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,359
I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on. Obviously, I

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,599
have no late you know, I would rather have no

30
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:32,159
luck at all than the late game luck I've been

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,200
having in college hoops. Sometimes Fairleigh Dickinson getting twenty eight,

32
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:40,040
they're down twenty seven in the last thirty seconds, Trig,

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,760
I think you can write the rest of that story there.

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
I mean, really, Providence, did you need to shoot the three?

35
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:49,120
Was that necessary? At least Eastern Michigan got something back

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,719
for me. But let's get to and then thank you

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,560
for ever who joined five hour Tuesday for the NBA

38
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:54,480
play with Celtics. That was good. So two and one

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,159
for me overall. Enough about me Rambling, I'm so sorry.

40
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,480
Let's talk about Louisville in Arkansas. Louisville better team here.

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,079
So you talk about the ACC going six and three

42
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:07,719
yesterday head to head against the SEC ACC team's better

43
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,479
team here. In my opinions, I think I don't think

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,479
we're gonna get any disagreement from you guys or the chat.

45
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,159
I'm right in line with the market again. I think

46
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:18,560
we've kind of reached that part of the season where

47
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,080
with these marquee matchups, I'm pretty we're pretty much gonna

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,199
come out and say, yep, this number seems about right.

49
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,840
So it's all about breaking down the matchup trag. We

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,199
caught Arkansas in person at the Breslin Center earlier in

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,439
the year. It was a close game. They could not

52
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,719
hit a three to save their life in East Lansing.

53
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:41,080
That is why they lost. Interesting, I know that you

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,240
and I were talking in the arena that day that

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,560
we thought as the year progressed, Arkansas would only get better.

56
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,599
I'm interested to hear if you still feel that way

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,120
now with more data points under our belt. But I

58
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:57,599
will be kind of sitting on the sidelines at you know,

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
you've got the coach cal against Louisville angle here as well.

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280
I think that you know they'll talk about that on

61
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,080
the broadcast a lot, but you know, Louisville's a better

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,560
team at both ends of the floor, guys, and the

63
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:09,560
deserved favorite going in fayfil.

64
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask Rob to convince me one way

65
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:16,919
or another, because we left that game and I said, man, like,

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,240
you know, I left East Lansing more impressed with Arkansas

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,319
than I was in Michigan State. And Brian and I

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,560
talked and we said, you know, it was probably the

69
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:27,000
East Lansing crowd. Like a cuff took a couple of

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
very ill advised shots in that game where I think

71
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,439
he just got caught up in the moment of having

72
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:35,599
like fa I mean, when you're at East Lansing like

73
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:37,840
the fans are on top of you. I think they

74
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,199
just made some bad decisions to end up losing a

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,599
game by three that now looks like not that not

76
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:44,520
such a bad loss.

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,479
Speaker 2: At this point, Michigan State looks awesome.

78
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,319
Speaker 3: They keep going up the ratings. Michigan State, Yeah, they're

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,199
top ten team now.

80
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: So Rob, on Thanksgiving night, Arkansas played Duke pretty close,

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800
and I think by with all other than that one

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,159
game against Winthrop where you know, maybe they had a

83
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,599
little bit of a mental lapse and didn't take them seriously,

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Arkansas has impressed me without being said. I can't buy

85
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:08,360
him any faults with Louisville, and that's what's making this

86
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,039
a very tough handicap here.

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,759
Speaker 2: Were you're muted, Rob, You're meaning.

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,519
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kind of thumbs up the Arkansas sentiment, guys,

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,439
what they did against Duke. They're sixty to fifty one

90
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,279
with about six minutes left, winning the game, and I

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,639
think coach cal said that they just haven't quite finished

92
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,839
or they haven't figured out how to finish. When you

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000
have a lead, how can you extend? How can you

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,399
put people away? They're not quite there yet. He's juggling

95
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,920
lineups this morning, guys. I read an article where he's

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,759
used four different lineups already, trying to find the right mix.

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Outside of the two freshmen, they're not really getting a

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,120
ton of contribution. A couple of areas here. First of all,

99
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,199
I think you know, Arkansas's obviously got the strength of

100
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,439
schedule on their side with those two games, neither one

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,480
at home, and Louisville's played Kentucky whatever we want to

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,519
make of Kentucky at this point in time, but they

103
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,399
beat him. The rest of the schedule. I guess is

104
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Louisville should have dominated, but the rebounding numbers don't lie,

105
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:18,040
and Louisville's been on the boards like crazy. Now, Arkansas,

106
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:20,399
when I went over, you know, they didn't get destroyed.

107
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,319
They lost the rebound battle to Michigan State, but didn't

108
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,240
get destroyed. They got beat pretty soundly by Duke. I

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,959
think there were minus ten on the boards in that game,

110
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,480
and Boozer went crazy, right. Boozer had like thirty five

111
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,800
in that one. So the interior part of this kind

112
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,959
of bothers me if you like Arkansas. The other thing

113
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:42,079
I think that, you know, if it won, Louisville's home

114
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,399
floor would bother me more. But Pat Kelsey's teams they're

115
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,959
gonna push, They're gonna push, They're gonna push, and Arkansas

116
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,199
is gonna push back tempo wise, because they were at home.

117
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,439
So we're gonna get a fast paced game here. It's

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,279
the separation I think Brian, maybe it was Brian who

119
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,360
talked about how they missed a bunch of threes against

120
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,959
Michigan State. Arkansas. Did you got to make a few

121
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:07,199
shots to disallow Louisville from getting off to one of

122
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,120
those you know, twelve to two, one of those spurts

123
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,240
which are difficult to recover from. But I think, you know, sidewise,

124
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,959
I don't really have a great opinion, but I do

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,720
think that this total is still too low. Guys, sixty

126
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,199
one bet up to sixty five, and how does this

127
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,720
game not get to one seventy? In reality, I think

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
that Louisville has all the components to score points here,

129
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,920
even second chance points with the lack of Arkansas rebounding.

130
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560
And I think that Arkansas as well in the race

131
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:39,839
back down the floor will score there. So for me,

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,800
at this point in time, it hasn't been bet up

133
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,560
high enough to stop me from playing this game up

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,879
and over. One sixty five wins sixty five and a half.

135
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, circus at one sixty six too, which I thought

136
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,040
was that just lasts while you were talking, So Louisville

137
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,639
fourth in the country and scoring for those keeping score at.

138
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,759
Speaker 2: Home, Brian, both of you like the I think I

139
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,480
have the answer to.

140
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: So I think the only way this game doesn't go

141
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,639
over it is probably the only way Arkansas wins, and

142
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,160
that would be Louisville just having a poor shooting night.

143
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:14,079
So you go back to the Cincinnati game. I believe

144
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,680
they're only a road game so far this year. They

145
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,560
shot thirty seven point five percent from the field and

146
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,319
eight for twenty eight from three, and like, if they

147
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,160
don't have an off shooting night here, they're probably not

148
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:28,040
going to lose this game because of what Rob said,

149
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,279
rebound probably have the rebounding edge they run.

150
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:35,319
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey is just I mean, he's a god.

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Like he's in my top like probably five coaches in

152
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,519
college basketball.

153
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: I really don't like banging against him.

154
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Offensive sets are phenomenal, like they The way Louisville would

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,600
lose this game is if they come out they get

156
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,079
a little bit caught up in I mean Fayetteville place

157
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,160
I've never been, still have to get down there, but

158
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,560
by all accounts say a tremendous atmosphere for a basketball game.

159
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,120
If gets caught up, they start to shoot a little

160
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,600
bit too much and suddenly they throw up a stat

161
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:06,639
line like they did at Cincinnati eight for twenty eight

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,160
from three. That's probably where you get your Arkansas win.

163
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:11,959
And if that's the case, it's probably getting nowhere near

164
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,959
that one sixty. But if Louisville is executing, probably going

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,839
over and I think they win, and if they win

166
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:20,360
against this number, they're probably going to cover.

167
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,519
Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong, Guys, I don't know how

168
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,240
glued to the odd screen you were earlier today, I

169
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,279
thought this line got I thought I saw as low

170
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,839
as two, and then I think there's been some buyback

171
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,240
on Louisville. Am I am? I missed it? Was I

172
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,399
in a morning fog, perhaps there or I thought I

173
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,320
saw Circa down to two already, and now it's three.

174
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,000
It's painted three and a half across the board.

175
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: Circa did make it down to two, Brian, just looking

176
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,759
at the line history earlier this morning, as of you know,

177
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,879
eight o'clock east, you could have gotten two and then

178
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,720
it pushed up a little bit. Guys. One last question here,

179
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:59,720
just based on situational angle. How much stock do you

180
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,960
put too? Because I Adam when he's talked about off

181
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,320
shooting being the only reason why Louisville wouldn't score it,

182
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:07,960
jog this memory in my head. How much how much

183
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,840
stock do you put into six days off and seven

184
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:11,960
days off? Pat Kelsey said it was a good thing

185
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,440
for his team. They needed this time seven days off.

186
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,480
I read his quotes. John Caliperry didn't really speak upon it,

187
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,279
but college basketball teams that are used to playing, you know,

188
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,919
especially at this time of year, more than once a

189
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,200
week and then taking six seven days off affect the ship.

190
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,519
I mean, it's twenty twenty hindsight. Obviously we'll know the

191
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:30,720
answer after the game's over. But do you treat it

192
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:31,399
any differently?

193
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it plays into what tricks. I

194
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:37,000
mean it could. I again, like you said, we're not

195
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,799
going to know till the game starts. I mean there

196
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:42,039
is a world I guess where the layoff it's it's Russ,

197
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,399
not Rest, and that that is what causes Louisville low

198
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,440
have an off shooting night. We obviously don't know what

199
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,600
they've been doing in their free time.

200
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I it's so hard to quantify. It's it's

201
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:53,799
so hard to quantify.

202
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,519
Speaker 1: Like I mean, Cincinnati has actually been pretty solid defensively

203
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,759
this year, like from a number state point, but that again,

204
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:02,720
they just lost the Eastern Michigan.

205
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: So what do you what? Do you you know what

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,519
I mean? Like, was that good defense? Was it off shooting?

207
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: Uh?

208
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,159
Speaker 1: I guess, But it won't move this along like I

209
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,240
guess Like for me, I don't want to The reason

210
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,480
I probably won't get involved with Arkansas is I don't

211
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,000
want to have to bank on Louisville having a bad

212
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,919
shooting night to hit my bet. Whereas the reason I

213
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:23,879
probably won't get involved with Louisville is I left that

214
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,720
game in East Lansing thinking like, this Arkansas team, as

215
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,159
the season goes along, is probably going to continue to

216
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,919
get better, and all they've, like, all they've done since

217
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,720
then is win every game aside for the Michigan State game,

218
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,799
which now doesn't look like a bad loss at all,

219
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,320
and give a very good Duke team all they could handle,

220
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,360
in my opinion, So I don't really want to bet

221
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,240
against Arkansas either in Fayetteville, where it's going to be

222
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,279
a tremendous atmosphere, so that not anything real actionable there.

223
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:53,279
Speaker 2: But I do hope that we uh that.

224
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,399
Speaker 1: That we you know, at least got you some different

225
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
you know, thinking in a couple of different ways for

226
00:10:58,279 --> 00:10:58,840
that game.

227
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: Let's move it along. Uh, we have a hold on

228
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,159
my track pad? Is that what you call?

229
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, but you just tracked yourself right on out, Trigg.

230
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,600
That was unfortunate. Guy was working with a hard He

231
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,240
just went right on out of there. Oh we're live, everybody.

232
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,519
I wonder if he was going to go to Garth.

233
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120
I see Garth. Thank you again, Garth. We can't thank

234
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,120
you enough for your tremendous donations. He's asking about the

235
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,519
team in my neck of the woods here. I'm gonna

236
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,399
wait till Trig gets back in because I don't want to.

237
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,759
Speaker 2: Like I assume you were gonna you know what I

238
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:36,360
gotta get.

239
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: You talked to me the other day, I gotta get

240
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,480
a wireless mouse. Excusable, I should have a wire I know,

241
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:45,679
I gotta.

242
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: Have a wireless mouse. Insane.

243
00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:51,639
Speaker 3: Were you gonna go to the Garth's question about.

244
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,279
Speaker 1: I was, I was gonna go there, and yeah, I

245
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,679
was actually gonna, you know, being a being a a

246
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,240
Cleveland guy that like you know, has the Wallstein Center

247
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,600
in his backyard and has been a little bit of it. Yeah,

248
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,039
has been a little bit critical of this iteration of

249
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:09,919
Cleveland State basketball.

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna throw it to you.

251
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: But I also he's specifically asking about the under in

252
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,639
that game, and I got a little bit less of

253
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:20,519
an opinion on the total. Does anyone want to kick

254
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:22,960
off that the total side? Rob, you have anything on

255
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,919
the total side of Northern Kentucky Cleveland State.

256
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: I'll say real quick for the total under, the case

257
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:33,279
against it is the pace. The case for it is

258
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,679
the pace isn't doing anything for Cleveland State as far

259
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,879
as scoreboard is concerned, right, I mean, you can run

260
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,480
up and down all you want. If you can't put

261
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:43,120
the ball in the bucket, or you can't get to

262
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:45,120
the free throw line and make free throws or whatever,

263
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,200
you can't get a game over. So Northern Kentucky to

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,240
me is a team that can, you know, get it

265
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,200
to moderate pace and defensively maybe frustrate Cleveland State a

266
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,240
little bit. Like I said, this is a tough call

267
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,360
because you'll probably get the requisite number of possessions to

268
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,000
get this thing over. The problem is Cleveland State comes

269
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,159
up probably too empty too many times. If I could

270
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,120
put it that way, to bank on it getting to

271
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,679
this price tag, you know, one fifty seven, seventy nine

272
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,039
to seventy eight final, it's hard to It's hard to

273
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,720
argue either way. I'm not on the game.

274
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rob took the words right out of my mouth.

275
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,039
Is in terms of the total you're going to get

276
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,440
the pace. The problem is Cleveland State again, it's a

277
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,320
lot of empty possessions. Now the counter to that, Cleveland

278
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,759
State terms, why are they getting somebody empty possessions? Well,

279
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:38,919
it's a bad basketball team. We understand that, guys, but

280
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,279
they also turn the ball over a lot, and that

281
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,639
could that's compounded here. What's gonna be a real issue

282
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,639
is Northern Kentucky tends to force a lot of turnovers,

283
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:52,919
so a fast those empty possessions rob a lot of

284
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,120
it if it's coming early. If Northern Kentucky's turning them

285
00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,799
over quick on the possess, if the turnovers are occurring

286
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,000
early in the possession, then okay, they might be able

287
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,919
to score on the fast break and counteract the fact

288
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
that Cleveland State is having those empty Their usual empty

289
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,759
possess counteracts Cleveland State's empty possessions. So this sounds great

290
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,440
in my head, guys, I assure you so. I mean,

291
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,600
I think that's the question is you know, is Cleveland

292
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,279
State turning it over late in the shot clock? Are

293
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,399
they turning it over early in the shot clock leading

294
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,720
to fast break points for Northern Kentucky. I think that's

295
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:27,679
the difference in terms of this game staying under or

296
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,919
going over and real.

297
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: Quick, guys. Just so we can clarify this, when we

298
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,759
talk about turning the ball over and a team forcing turnovers,

299
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,200
all turnovers aren't the same. They don't all lead to

300
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,440
fast break coops. Some are passes that go out of

301
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080
bounds and then Northern Kentucky can inbounds and take their

302
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,480
time and run time off the clock, et cetera, et cetera.

303
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,919
So I think, generally speaking, when we talk about turnovers,

304
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,080
we automatically correlate that to a fast break in a bucket,

305
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:01,720
and it's not always the case. The turnover can lead

306
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:03,799
to play getting the game played even slower if you

307
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:05,360
throw it out of bounds, et cetera, et cetera.

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,159
Speaker 3: See by you saying I should go to the game

309
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,720
to security under Unfortunately I cannot do that. I cannot

310
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:15,000
do that. I am on ice skating practice duty tonight.

311
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:17,639
I apologize for everyone I am not I. I will

312
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:19,240
not be on the ice, of course, I'll just be

313
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:21,039
sitting looking at.

314
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: My phone as I'll just touch on the side very

315
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:26,799
very quickly and we can move it on.

316
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: Like.

317
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna find me back in

318
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Cleveland State maybe ever this year. Like so obviously their

319
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,080
head coach goes to North Texas. The any anything that

320
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:41,519
was redeeming about last year's team is pretty much left.

321
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: At this point, so it's a they never have back

322
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:45,600
to back good years anymore. It has been like, I mean,

323
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,759
you'd have to go back to the like you know,

324
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,279
the Norris Cole era to find the last time Cleveland

325
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,679
State has strung together consecutive good seasons.

326
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you just talk about like, you know,

327
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,879
barely getting by a non board team, like struggling to

328
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:04,960
score in that game, like they they have put up

329
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,559
some like random decent offensive performances, but this being on

330
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,000
the road, nor Northern Kentucky can defend, Like I just

331
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,240
wouldn't want to have to rely on Cleveland State scoring

332
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,200
any points. And then you talk about a game that's

333
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,120
lined like whatever it is ten to eleven.

334
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: I haven't looked at where it is right.

335
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Now where you're not probably not going to get extension

336
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,679
at the end of a game like that, like especially

337
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,320
if Northern.

338
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky is up big good point.

339
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,679
Speaker 1: I think maybe I think, you know what, Garth, I

340
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,799
think I'd probably lean toward the under with you, because

341
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:37,159
I just don't want to rely on Cleveland State to

342
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,200
have to do anything. And it's not like I'm like

343
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,039
over the moon high on like Northern Kentucky just being

344
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,840
like this great team that's gonna run it up either,

345
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,799
So I'll lean your way, garth under under the full

346
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,440
game total sounds sounds decent, Jay buff.

347
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: I don't know.

348
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: If I don't, I should have probably hit jabup up

349
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,799
and asked if he was at the game last night.

350
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,679
I usually run into him at Syracuse games, but he

351
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,039
wants to know he likes Virginia tonight, he said he's

352
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,160
been impressed with them so far. Texas lost some key

353
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,279
pieces to their offense and might take some time. Wrong

354
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,880
team favored. Well, let's let's get robin here first. Virginia Texas. Virginia, Like,

355
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,680
I gotta wonder could they just not shoot in that

356
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,000
like ballroom or whatever they were in, because that was

357
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:27,720
like the thing with them. I was very I really

358
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:30,079
like this Virginia team coming into this year. I like

359
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,519
Ryan Odum, I loved everything about what they were doing.

360
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,759
And then they got into like the Greenbrier playing in

361
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,759
a ballroom and just couldn't hit a shot, and so

362
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,799
like these are goes back to what we were talking

363
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:46,880
about earlier this week, taking all the MT stuff with

364
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,680
a grain of salt.

365
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: Three games in three days, having.

366
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,559
Speaker 1: A rough shooting performance, you know, playing at a casino

367
00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,359
like or whatever they like the place is a golf course.

368
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:00,759
Now it's back to normal. I tended to count stuff

369
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:02,880
like that a little bit. And then of course Texas

370
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,440
on the Maui Rims, guys pulling up from the parking lot.

371
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,319
Everything's going in fifteen sixteen threes against NT State, So

372
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,079
it's like, now you've got both of those worlds gliding here.

373
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Rob talk to Jay Buff Virginia, Texas. I already see

374
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,519
in the swing.

375
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, let me just give you what Ryan

376
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,640
Odams said. Okay, first we'll go to the head coach himself,

377
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,279
Ryan Odam. We've got to play harder and it's got

378
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:29,119
to mean a little bit more to us. The guys

379
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,880
understand that, because the competition is going to continue to

380
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,599
increase as we go about our season. Guys understand it

381
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,880
and are excited about where they're headed. But certainly I'm

382
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,240
not satisfied with where we are right now. You know,

383
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,720
maybe Sean Miller could say the same thing, but guys,

384
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:50,039
I'll just turn to the Texas side of this. Maybe

385
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,440
I'm in a small boat here, Jay Buff, I'm not sure,

386
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,559
but I was impressed with Texas third and three days

387
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,839
running a track meet with NC State and winning at

388
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:01,319
one O two to ninety, I mean third and three days.

389
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,160
You're supposed to be a little bit fatigued, and then

390
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,640
you get hit with Will Wade's team, and as Adam said,

391
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,400
they shot lights out, played extremely well. I like Sean

392
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,519
Miller as a head coach. I think he brings his

393
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:18,920
teams along in a manner somewhat like John Calipari. Whereas

394
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,279
the season goes on, they get better. The opening game

395
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:24,440
against Duke didn't look so good, but I think it's

396
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,079
looked good since then. It's a difficult game for me

397
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,640
to handicap it. It'll be played with pace. I would

398
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,359
probably look at it more from a totals perspective then

399
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:41,279
a side perspective here, and you know where totals concerned. Again,

400
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:43,119
you do have to shoot it really well, but I

401
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,960
think you're going to get the number of possessions to

402
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,480
get this thing over potentially, So I wouldn't want to

403
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,279
be on under I'm probably a little more impressed with

404
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,079
Texas than you are. You're impressed with the Virginia side,

405
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:57,559
so I guess that puts us in a neutralizing place here.

406
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,079
Don't let me talk off of anything. Let me say

407
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,240
that right away don't let me talk you off of anything,

408
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,160
but I will say that I am impressed with what

409
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,880
Sean Miller is doing with Texas right now. Tremaine Mac

410
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,920
very good basketball player. I like the way that team's going.

411
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: I'll wave the Swiss flag over here too, in between

412
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,599
trigger and say that I make these teams. I would

413
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,440
make this a true pick them on a neutral court.

414
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,440
These two game. I see, I see there's some argument

415
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:26,039
in the chat about, you know, all Virginia should be

416
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:29,000
a road favorite. I'll point this out. This is Virginia's

417
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:32,359
first true road game. Texas is four for four in Austin. Uh,

418
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:36,279
you know that they've won every game, So I don't know.

419
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,759
I didn't see a ton of value on this one.

420
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,039
Speaker 1: Now, Triggs muted, I do think if Virginia shoots the ball, well,

421
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:49,319
they probably win this game. Like I think, I I

422
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:52,960
so for me, like you look at Texas and you

423
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,079
try to evaluate the MAUI games. So you know, I

424
00:20:58,519 --> 00:21:01,000
was on NC State in the game that they won

425
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,599
one oh two to ninety seven. My big takeaway from

426
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119
that game, and this is another conversation. I suppose maybe

427
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,160
a good segue into a different game. We'll just we'll

428
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,880
just go right into it. Like NC State might have

429
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,160
some issues defensively, I mean, in addition to Texas maybe

430
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,920
benefiting from some soft rims at Maui, which I guess

431
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,759
are a thing. I mean, it's been going on for

432
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,880
years where every shot goes in sixteen for thirty two

433
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:26,759
from three.

434
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:27,599
Speaker 2: They were in that.

435
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Game, like NC State looked lost on every defensive possession,

436
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,960
and you know what ends up losing the game one

437
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,039
oh two tonight it scores ninety seven points lost, right, Like, well,

438
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,079
we'll wag team scoring ninety seven should not be losing

439
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:41,960
a game.

440
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:43,319
Speaker 2: Yet they lost to Texas.

441
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,319
Speaker 1: In that game you want to look at you can't

442
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,880
really draw anything from the Shamanad game whatever, like, so

443
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,559
we throw that out. But they you know, they lost

444
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:57,200
to Arizona State, and that's kind of a game where

445
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,000
like I felt like they're you know, mo otam on.

446
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:04,000
Arizona State had thirty six points and really sort of

447
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:07,559
just torched their defense, which Virginia is equipped to do.

448
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,319
That's the other thing, Like Virginia is equipped to attack

449
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:15,319
Texas similar to how Arizona attack attacked them through their

450
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,920
guards and shot making. In that game, Odum hit six

451
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:22,680
threes you know, and they win that game as an underdog.

452
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:25,920
So like I like Virginia, I'll have to I'll have

453
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,599
to probably think about this one a little bit more,

454
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,599
but I'm buffed to wrap it up.

455
00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:32,039
Speaker 2: I guess I'll I'll agree with you.

456
00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:33,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if the wrong team is favored, but

457
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,640
I agree with you liking Virginia at the at the

458
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,519
number there, I'm gonna just segue this and we already

459
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:43,079
started talking about I already alluded to us. Let's just

460
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:49,200
go into NC State in Auburn. Probably downgraded NC State

461
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000
as much as any team from the MAUI, and I

462
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
think for two reasons. And I'll go to Rob because

463
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,559
I know he had a pretty strong opinion on NC

464
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,519
State for pre MAUI, which I did as I just

465
00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:03,079
think they have some stuff to work out on the

466
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:06,160
defensive end. I think they got out tough by Seaton Hall,

467
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,279
which hey, you know, I remember Shaheen Holloway in the

468
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,119
mac and those good there was very good Sienna teams

469
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,000
that he would punch in the mouth. And you know

470
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,279
out his teams are tough and when he's got a

471
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:19,480
little talent, they can go a long way. So I

472
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,279
think NC State got out tough by Seaton Hall, but

473
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,839
the the just the way they got just destroyed on

474
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,759
like every possession by Texas where Texas got open three

475
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,880
after open three, both the Titus got everything he wanted

476
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,400
inside and like the Ress bailed them out with a

477
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,599
couple of calls they and NC State could even couldn't

478
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:43,799
take advantage of. That gives up one hundred and two points.

479
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,640
I had to downgrade him quite a bit.

480
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: Now.

481
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna score on Auburn, but I think

482
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:52,279
Auburn might score on them. So a rare Trigg total rob.

483
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:53,880
I kind of liked the over talk to me about

484
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,359
this game.

485
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 4: I could see it. I'm going to speak to your

486
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,319
first point though, Adam, about toughness. You know, after that

487
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,039
Bethune Cookman game, I know you shake you. I shook

488
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:08,960
my head as Stephen Pearl, this is not gonna go well.

489
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,559
Bruce Pearl in the wings wait waiting to come down

490
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,640
and take the bench back. Guys, they've played Houston, Saint

491
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:18,640
John's and Michigan. Who's on a roll right now? I mean,

492
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,319
if you want to just say today who the best

493
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,799
team to the eye test is, I would say Michigan

494
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,599
right now, is the best team in the country just

495
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,599
with my eyes. But the toughness angle of that Adam

496
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,119
is Houston. They lose by one. Auburn does Saint John's

497
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,200
as tenacious as Patino comes at you. They beat them

498
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,279
by eleven. Michigan, I don't think there's any shame and

499
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,319
losing by the third, that game got out of control.

500
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,680
That was like an avalanche snowball, bigger snowball, bigger snowball.

501
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: You're buried.

502
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: And like I say, I don't put any shame in

503
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,519
that loss because Michigan's playing so well. So on the

504
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:58,680
toughness angle, Auburn definitely all arrows point their way. I

505
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,359
am totally with you in that. I I think when

506
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,960
you watch NC State, they're caught up in way too,

507
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:09,319
caught up in scoring points right now, and the other

508
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,839
end of the floor suffers. You laid it out pretty

509
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,880
well the Auburn. The matchup in Maui against Texas, so Auburt.

510
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,359
You know, Pettiford is tough, Hall, the lefty Hall is tough.

511
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,720
These guys are when push comes to shove. They came

512
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:29,839
through in big ways in that tournament. I like what

513
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,599
I've seen out of Auburn I think their team total

514
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,519
might be the play here if you just wanted to isolate,

515
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,200
because I don't know what Will Wade can do in

516
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:42,240
one game against an opponent of this magnitude to straighten

517
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:45,279
things out defensively. So for me, I can't argue anybody

518
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:47,359
off full game total, but I do think Auburn team

519
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,720
total may be worth a look here.

520
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: I well, first off, this numbers got hit as you

521
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,839
guys were talking. Auburn is up to eight minus eight. Now,

522
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,480
yet that's worth the over predictably is taking money. I

523
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:05,599
the insane person that I am, I was entertaining the

524
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:07,279
notion believe or not, you guys are sort of talking

525
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:10,119
me out of looking at an under here, and I'm

526
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,680
gonna tell you why. I don't think NC State continues

527
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000
to shoot as well from three. They're shooting forty two

528
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,440
percent from three or that. Is that going to continue

529
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:21,279
in a true road environment. I don't believe it will. Now.

530
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:24,400
I think the whole key, the whole crux of this total,

531
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,400
what these guys have been talking about is Auburn's not

532
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,640
a particularly great three point shooting team. NC State is

533
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,400
either is willing to let you shoot a lot of

534
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,759
them if Auburn's knocking down their threes. This game probably

535
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:39,880
does go over, and Auburn probably wins in a runaway.

536
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,279
I actually believe it or not. Rob kind of like

537
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,400
NC State team total under, I think, as crazy as

538
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,039
it is, I just I look at that three point

539
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,920
percentage that's not sustainable over the long haul, shooting over

540
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,440
forty two percent from downtop, I just don't think it

541
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160
is in a true road environment.

542
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 4: And that number, for what it's worth everybody out there,

543
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,119
I guess as low as seventy eight and a half,

544
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,880
as high as seventy nine and a half for the

545
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,200
NC State team total under. And you know, I didn't

546
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,279
really speak on side, but that's probably my strongest lean

547
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,720
in this game is I just think Auburn does win

548
00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:19,480
this game by ten plus from what I've seen so far.

549
00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:22,960
If NC State can bully you offensively, they're going to

550
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,359
bully you offensively. If they can't, they probably get hurt,

551
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,519
and then they might get hurt here in Auburn in

552
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:29,079
this game.

553
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go to my guy by you buy you

554
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:36,720
BET's Keith Landry texted me this morning, but I was

555
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:38,480
busy trying to get ready for the show and I

556
00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:40,559
didn't respond to him, so I'm gonna respond to him.

557
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 2: Live right here on air.

558
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: He said, Trigg, why are our nau Lumberjacks getting points

559
00:27:46,279 --> 00:27:49,200
at home again tonight? So that is a little joke

560
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,200
that goes back to last season, because him and I

561
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,839
bet Northern Arizona quite a bit last year, and you know,

562
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,240
probably did okay. But but the I think the overwhelming

563
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,720
point was last year was there should have been their year.

564
00:28:01,839 --> 00:28:05,079
They had all the talent in the world, best scorer

565
00:28:05,079 --> 00:28:09,759
in the conference, best rebounder, and managed to essentially underachieve

566
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:14,119
with a roster that really should have we expected far

567
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,920
more from Now I believe, how I think is at

568
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,279
Notre Dame. Now that the other the scorer finally graduated,

569
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,359
I believe he's like a super senior. And so to

570
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,559
answer your question, Keith, like they're getting points at home

571
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:31,319
because this team is not good. And the thing is,

572
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,799
like I've been I am dying to play against Northern Arizona,

573
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,839
but they keep kind of popping up in these like

574
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,599
what ends up being a tough spot for the other team.

575
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:44,119
So they just won two games against teams that I

576
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:46,839
know for a like, they're not better than cal Poly

577
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,880
or Southeast Missouri State.

578
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:50,599
Speaker 2: But I believe they.

579
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: Caught Polly on like a back to back where they

580
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,440
didn't have to play a back to back, So they

581
00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:59,839
hosted an MTE in flag Staff, and they set it

582
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,759
up very nicely for themselves, so they had to play

583
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:07,000
Monday and Wednesday, and I believe they caught teams playing

584
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,079
back to back days. I know cal Poly was on

585
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,759
a back to back going into that game, and then

586
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,039
Southeast Missouri also was on a back to back. So

587
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:20,039
the way they set it up for themselves, it was

588
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:23,920
they played cal Poly after they played a game and

589
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,359
they and then I believe they played Southeast Missouri State

590
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,400
after they played cal Poly. So it was a very

591
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,240
like friendly home setup in this MTE for Northern Arizona.

592
00:29:35,319 --> 00:29:37,079
Speaker 2: Northern Arizona won both of those games.

593
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: Now coming to flag Staff is no, you know, that's

594
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,200
a that's a trip like it's it's a They actually

595
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,799
play in a dome as well, I think one of

596
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:48,720
the only other teams currently playing basketball in their football stadium,

597
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:51,000
not you know, a little bit of a different setup

598
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,119
than Syracuse, but nonetheless they play at the walk up SkyDome.

599
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,240
Tends to be a tricky trip. For some teams. That

600
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,799
being said, like South Dakota State. I was a little

601
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,799
bit disappointed with them in their MTE.

602
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: I I thought they completely just no show.

603
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: They played Utah Valley and you see Irvine and were

604
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:09,839
really bad in those games.

605
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:11,359
Speaker 2: But those two teams are very good. Those are good

606
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,200
basketball teams. Utah Valley's really good.

607
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: Irvine is still probably pretty good, even though they've been

608
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,359
underwhelming to start the season. I kind of think Northern

609
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Arizona gets smashed here just from a quality standpoint. That

610
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,039
is just I will find a spot to fade this

611
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:29,519
Lumberjacks team. They're one of the most the most poorly

612
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:31,759
coached teams in the Big Sky, and they have far

613
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:34,160
less talent than they did last year. And now they're

614
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,480
coming in off back to back wins in like this

615
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:40,839
MTE where they manufactured themselves two really good home spots.

616
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,519
Very overrated team could only could only fade the Lumberjacks.

617
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,359
Speaker 2: Here went off on a little tangent there. Does anyone

618
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:50,000
have anything to add I don't have.

619
00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm glad you did, because I don't have anything that

620
00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:53,279
went on. Keith bet I think you made Keith sad.

621
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:55,319
I think I think I think he's said. I think

622
00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:57,400
he really I think he wanted to take him an.

623
00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:02,039
Speaker 2: He just loves killer Man.

624
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:04,839
Speaker 1: He just wants to cash chickens. He has no he

625
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,119
has no allegiance there at all. If if he thinks

626
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,079
that the right play is South Dakota State, he'll play it.

627
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,960
I'm looking at the board right now. I think if

628
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,720
you could have gotten South Dakota State minus three, probably

629
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:15,440
a pretty good bet.

630
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,519
Speaker 2: I see some places three and a half up to four.

631
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:20,519
Speaker 1: Tricky trip. No matter what he says, damn it. Maybe

632
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:23,599
he did like the the Jacks there, but Treg doesn't.

633
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: I can't. I will, I will look for spots to

634
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,599
play against that team.

635
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,279
Speaker 4: Real quick on that guys. The you know they hired

636
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:36,319
from within, right Eric Henderson left and went to Drake

637
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,680
and uh Peterson got the job. And I don't know

638
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,160
right now what to make of this team under Brian Peterson.

639
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:45,559
Speaker 3: Uh.

640
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: I feel like South Dakota State doesn't have some of

641
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,480
the characteristics that they've had in the past. Maybe they'll

642
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,079
develop as we go along here. So I don't know

643
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:56,680
that you were placing South Dakota State in any realm

644
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,079
of high esteem. Adam just better than Northern Arizona, and

645
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,960
maybe they are better than Arizona tonight, but interesting when

646
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,079
the Summit League comes along, I'd like to see how

647
00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:08,920
they fare inside that Leagueuse generally they're upper echelon, and

648
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:11,279
right now they don't resemble upperlan to me.

649
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to make it clear that, like

650
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:18,400
I so, I got caught up on a South Dakota

651
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,440
State in their MT I played them, I think against

652
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Utah Valley and it was, without a doubt, the wrong side.

653
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,240
Like it's one of those where it's like you gotta

654
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,119
be honest with yourself, this was just a bad pick.

655
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:31,039
Speaker 2: Like it was like it was just the wrong side.

656
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:33,079
Speaker 1: And I think, I think, Rob, going back to your

657
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:38,079
to your point, I maybe have like South Dakota State,

658
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,440
you know, they've they've been so good for so long

659
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,319
that like you get you have that ingrained even though

660
00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:46,799
it's a different coach and whatever, like they've been so

661
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,440
good in that sort of use my term weight class

662
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,640
for so long that you see them on a neutral

663
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,119
catching a couple of points and that was obviously enough

664
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:58,440
to get me to the window there so oftentimes, and

665
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,519
then they got smashed in their next game. Like normally

666
00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:03,519
i'd be stubborn and be like, oh, well, this is

667
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:05,079
this is the spot to do it. I'm just gonna

668
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,440
lay the three points against a team I don't particularly like.

669
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:10,839
Speaker 2: But it really isn't that simple.

670
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: And just to speak to probably the reason I didn't

671
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,519
jump at that, like, they are still going on the road.

672
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:18,559
It is still a tough place to play, and to

673
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,200
what you're saying this, there might be like a precipitous

674
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,359
drop off for them from Henderson to the to the

675
00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:27,200
new coach that maybe we didn't have priced in accordingly

676
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,039
to start the season. So yeah, it's interesting game. Yeah,

677
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920
interesting game. I wish, I wish I had more, but

678
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,119
Brian Power, I was gonna go to you for a

679
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,559
promo and yeah, I don't know if you want to.

680
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:43,720
We got to address the elephant in the room too.

681
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,519
We cannot hit a parlay since the first week.

682
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,519
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. I saw somebody yelling at me about FD Look, okay,

683
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,319
after you played probably one of the first half's worst

684
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,160
first halfs in recorded human history. Okay, but again I

685
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,640
said it at the open of the show. They were

686
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,559
right there. They were down by twenties, they were covering

687
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,359
with thirty seconds left and Providence had shot of three,

688
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,280
so that that was that was not fun. So there

689
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,079
you go again. Most days, most days we've hit two

690
00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:13,760
of three straight. So if you've been doing that, even

691
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,119
up a lot of money. And we are, but we

692
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:17,880
are in the black with the parlay now trag after

693
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,280
one of the most unreal starts.

694
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: We knew it was.

695
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,519
Speaker 3: That was it. That was it. That was a more

696
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:25,599
of a curse not a blessing. I think by hitting

697
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:27,679
the parlay to day three of the first four days

698
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:31,159
on the show, because yeah, it's it's never that easy.

699
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're gonna keep doing it. And we had

700
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,719
a similar lull. We had a similar lull during the

701
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,239
baseball season where we gave back all our profit and

702
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,400
then and then what happened. We hit like a couple

703
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,320
back to back and we were right back in business.

704
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,960
So don't don't bail on us. We're we're we got

705
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,079
one right around the corner. I personally have turned it

706
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,639
around a little bit. Three and one on college basketball

707
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,039
since Sunday after a dreadful feast week, so we were

708
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:57,679
at least going back in the right direction, and we've

709
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,639
got the full court all access pass up on our page.

710
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:10,119
You know that's basically any handicapper all the basketball.

711
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,079
Speaker 2: Includes.

712
00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can get all three of us for

713
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,400
that price, and don't forget guys over the weekend, we

714
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,880
don't do the show Saturday and Sunday. You can get

715
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,079
all three of us college just college basketball for seventy

716
00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:24,599
nine dollars. With that not to be confused with the

717
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:28,119
forty nine dollars full court all access that's currently available. Again,

718
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:30,920
I split my college oops last night. I did lose

719
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,719
the one I gave out for free the parlay like

720
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,000
after you didn't win, but we had some close game

721
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,360
positive variance with Eastern Michigan against Butler. Butler otis that

722
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,679
one I thought trig after the way they right staying

723
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:47,679
game over the weekend, and then five dollars Tuesday was good,

724
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,360
like I mentioned with the Celtics. So again and I

725
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,880
you know I mentioned I bring up the Celtics with

726
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,599
my five dollars were on Tuesday because the full court

727
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:56,920
the forty nine dollars deal, which is just for an

728
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,519
individual handicapper, it includes not just college hoops, guys NBA,

729
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:02,400
which I know Rob does as well.

730
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get Rob back in here because

731
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,800
we have a couple of people in the chat asking

732
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:09,159
and he's he's.

733
00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 2: Kind of our our Belmont Bruins expert.

734
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: So Curb Events Center tonight, we got the Richmond Spiders

735
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,840
going in rob this is I would say this qualifies

736
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,760
as kind of a big home game for Belmont. I mean,

737
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,280
a ten opponent coming in, Belmont is favored, they're expected

738
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,840
to win, but Richmond Belmont an interesting one down in

739
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:30,960
Nashville tonight.

740
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: Your thoughts.

741
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even with the proximity of the two Adam

742
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,000
Virginia and Tennessee, two states, they just don't get a

743
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:43,960
game like this. I have to say when I first

744
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,079
saw the line, I was a little bit and again

745
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:48,920
this is my bias speaking, I was a little bit nervous.

746
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:50,880
I don't know that six and a half is a

747
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:56,639
is a number that Belmont can handle here. However, you know,

748
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,920
you look at what they've done the last couple of games.

749
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,079
They destroyed to lead in College of Charleston. College of Charleston.

750
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:06,159
They've really destroyed wire to wire, scoring at an incredible rate.

751
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Normally you associate Belmont with the beyond the arc, but

752
00:37:11,079 --> 00:37:13,519
it's been inside the arc where they've been even more

753
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:17,920
dominant this year. And defensively, Casey Alexander. Belmont does not

754
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,400
come with any defensive pedigree any year, and yet this

755
00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:25,880
year they're playing pretty good defense. Product of the schedule maybe,

756
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,360
but I don't know. The last two teams are in

757
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:31,519
we use the term weight class around here. The last

758
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:33,920
two teams they played are in their weight class, Toledo

759
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,679
and College of Charleston, and the victories were pretty impressive.

760
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,559
On the Belmont side, Richmond has the ability to score.

761
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: Guys.

762
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 4: I'm not sold on Belmont as a defensive team as

763
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,719
of yet. We're gonna find out that. I mean, if

764
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,400
they put three of these efforts together in a row

765
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:56,400
against three teams of this caliber, I would say, you know,

766
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,199
Missouri Valley Conference, I thought they were going to be

767
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,199
top four to be with, but top two, look out

768
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,079
if they get through this Richmond game tonight. I don't

769
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:09,039
have a good feel for the side. If I had to,

770
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:11,719
I think I would lean toward the underdog plus six

771
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,320
and a half. And I do think that this total

772
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,639
maybe just a shade too high, which is crazy to

773
00:38:17,639 --> 00:38:19,920
say for a Belmont game one fifty seven, but I

774
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,239
think this will take on a little more of you know,

775
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,800
in football, we call it like a playoff nature playoff atmosphere.

776
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,440
I do think that these two will come in and

777
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,159
be highly competitive defensively against one another. So we'll see

778
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,719
I think maybe under maybe Richmond, but I haven't played either.

779
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,119
I'd rather sit back and watch and root for Belmont

780
00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:41,679
tonight and you know, see bruiser come down down the

781
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:43,440
old pole from a center court.

782
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,679
Speaker 3: I'm kind of thinking Richmond for my parlay, like I'll

783
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,320
be on Belmont, one of twenty teams still undefeated in

784
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,320
the country that's not probably going to continue for too

785
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,880
much longer. I think Richmond. You know, you take a

786
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,199
look at a Richmond team. I belie, leave correct me

787
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,320
if I'm wrong. This is the first time all season

788
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,159
that the Spiders are getting points and they're only lost

789
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:14,800
this year, but was by one to Furman. So this

790
00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:16,320
is this is I'll get back to you on this.

791
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,559
This is on my short list for for the parlay

792
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:21,760
leg here. It depends. There's something I want to give out,

793
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,320
just to continue the gimmick and just make people pull

794
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,159
their hair out. But I think they would like Richmond better.

795
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,039
They want to hear me give out Richmond. But there's

796
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:33,360
another one I was considering as well, another side that

797
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,480
probably no one's considering and everyone will not like. So

798
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,719
let me, let me, let me internalize here what decision

799
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,719
I want to make. But I definitely like the it's

800
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,599
it's dogg or pass here, no doubt about it.

801
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, real quick here, let me just add one thing

802
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,639
that's intriguing about this game, guys, is you have a

803
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:53,119
Chris Mooney offense, Princeton type offense. Belmont doesn't really see

804
00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:56,800
it an awful lot against Belmont's offense, which is unique

805
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,760
in its own right. I wonder how quick the defenses

806
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,400
adapt here? Is I think this thing through? But I

807
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,119
do think that uh you know, I thought the points

808
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:07,960
bed was a little too high, Like you, Brian, I

809
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,360
thought six and a half might be a little too

810
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,840
much for Belmont to chew off here.

811
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll lock my parlay leg in by you.

812
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: I see you in the chat, and I agree with you,

813
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,960
and I haven't I haven't bet, I haven't bet anything yet.

814
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,800
It's also by by design, I've I've someone pointed out

815
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,440
my horrific uh losing stretch on Feast week for like

816
00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:31,400
that all happened within a couple of days, and so

817
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,719
for me, like I really tightened some parameters up. I

818
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:39,679
stopped locking certain things in super early, which may cost

819
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,840
you some client plays on this show on certain days

820
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,559
like today where I haven't bet anything for clients just yet,

821
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,000
but I'm also three on one for clients since Sunday,

822
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:50,039
so I feel like it's working and I'll probably continue

823
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,079
to lean into that. But by you brings up a

824
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:55,719
game that that definitely is on my radar, and so

825
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,719
we'll talk about it now. At Central Connecticut State, they

826
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,159
are going to go to seat in a Hall tonight.

827
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:05,679
I believe they're playing in the small gym. I believe

828
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,440
this is on campus for Seaton Hall.

829
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,199
Speaker 2: I don't so.

830
00:41:08,679 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: Back in the n i T a couple of years ago,

831
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:16,519
Seaton Hall played a played a game or they played

832
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:19,679
the n i T games on campus and it got

833
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,039
rave reviews. Because of course, Seaton Hall is another one

834
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:25,440
of those teams that goes to like the big local

835
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,679
arena to play. Believe they play most of their home

836
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,920
games in Newark where the New Jersey Devils play the

837
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,000
Prudential Center. So after the n I T, I think

838
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,639
Seaton Hall decided to bring back some of these like

839
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,559
campus like during the lull when they when kids are.

840
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:45,679
You know, when it's like November December, i'll quote unquote

841
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,480
lesser opponent, they will play one or two of these

842
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,760
on campus, and that's what they're gonna do tonight against

843
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,159
Central Connecticut State. So they come back from Maui. I

844
00:41:55,159 --> 00:41:57,920
think Seaton Hall probably was pretty happy with their trip

845
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,960
to Maui. They get the big upset win over NC State,

846
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,000
they blow out Washington State. But this is the Shaheen

847
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:07,639
Holloway is really not the type of team like he

848
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:11,719
doesn't coach like the type his teams you typically don't

849
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,719
want to lay huge numbers with. They're the type of

850
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,719
team that you are fine with backing as an underdog

851
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,840
where they can muck it up and frustrate you.

852
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,559
Speaker 2: Go ask NC State about that.

853
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: But then, like Shaheen Holloway's teams have also the lesser

854
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,719
Seaton Hall teams have lost to teams like Wagner right

855
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,039
or just like I think last year maybe they even

856
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:35,639
lost to Wagner. So I don't typically like them as

857
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:39,800
big favorites. Central Connecticut State is very good basketball team.

858
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,039
Pat Sellers is a very good coach. This team last

859
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:47,039
year really should have been an NCAA tournament team I

860
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:50,719
was at the NEC final last year where Saint Francis

861
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,199
went into their gym and somehow emerged victorious.

862
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: Like you'll never see a building more stunned.

863
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they were an eleven and a half point

864
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,039
Davord in that game and to have lost that. Now,

865
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:06,039
they don't have Jordan Jones back Player of the Year

866
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:06,880
in the NC.

867
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: Last year, they.

868
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:10,159
Speaker 1: Lost a couple of their really good players. But Pat

869
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:13,440
Sellers still has a lot of guys. He's a tremendous coach.

870
00:43:13,559 --> 00:43:17,320
I think he probably has a team that that's comparable

871
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,239
to last year's team. But the kicker here is they

872
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,559
haven't quite got priced like last year's team used to.

873
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,320
Like that was the the It was known last year

874
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,679
that Central Connecticut State was was really really good and

875
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,360
this year, like they didn't even get picked to win

876
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,599
their league, LU got picked to win the NC. So

877
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,079
you know, but already this year, what is all Central

878
00:43:39,079 --> 00:43:42,159
Connecticut State has done? They went beat Rutgers right, go

879
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:44,400
out and win at the rack. Uh, they went into

880
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,480
conte Form and beat Boston College. So to think that

881
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:52,079
they can't go into Saint Seaton Hall's little campus gym,

882
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:54,000
which is what they're used to playing with in the NYC.

883
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,719
By the way, the NC they don't play in arenas.

884
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,519
They play in these little gyms, right like you know,

885
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,679
couple thousand people, Max, I think this game sets up

886
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,519
for Central Connecticut State to at least be competitive, Like

887
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:08,920
I don't think they're losing by seventeen. So that'll be

888
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,079
my parlay leg Central Connecticut State, Blue Devils. Great call

889
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:15,840
by you. I'm with you on that. I may actually

890
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,320
add this for clients as the day goes along. Plus

891
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,239
sixteen and a half parlay lea.

892
00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: I think it's close.

893
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 3: Just two things. I laughed, not because I think Trigg said,

894
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,840
but somebody in the chat as you were going off

895
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,119
their Trigg was noted, Central Connects State is quote the

896
00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:32,360
real Blue Devils.

897
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:33,639
Speaker 2: Well maybe that.

898
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: Made me laugh.

899
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 3: And then number two of this game is being played

900
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,239
in Waltsh Gymnasium, which yes I did. I did my

901
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,360
quick google, so I bet on campus.

902
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I bet Veno knows a thing or two about

903
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,400
hard hit in New Britain, though I do.

904
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:51,639
Speaker 4: In fact, my brother in law, I've got a buddy

905
00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:53,559
that was in my wedding party and my brother in

906
00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:58,559
law both graduated CCSU. So oh wow, congratulations to them

907
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:01,519
and the real Blue Devils.

908
00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: Hard New Britain. I gotta go to hard hitting New

909
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,199
Britain and just start yelling hard hitting with It's.

910
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:11,159
Speaker 4: Not Hartford or New Haven, so I don't know hard

911
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,320
hitting it is, but or Bridgeport, but it's it's hard

912
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,159
hitting New Britain.

913
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,199
Speaker 2: You know that's where George Springer is from. I think

914
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:20,000
that's where he's from.

915
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:23,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, which always breaks my heart as a Dodger fan

916
00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:26,559
when George Springer wrecks Dodger dreams and I'm like, damn,

917
00:45:26,559 --> 00:45:29,679
you have to come from Connecticut. Come from somewhere else. Please.

918
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 3: You know I'm gonna piggyback off trick. I'm gonna go

919
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,079
to the uh extra board as well for my pick.

920
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:39,639
I'm not gonna give Richmond. As a matter of fact,

921
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:41,559
I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep going rolling with the gimmick.

922
00:45:41,599 --> 00:45:44,360
I'm gonna give out a double digit underdog on the

923
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,239
extra wars. Weall, we're gonna go with the Colonials of

924
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,920
Eastern Kentucky. They've not covered the spread all year, trick.

925
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,039
They're all for six against the spread. They're one of

926
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:54,519
three teams that haven't covered spread. I think they're gonna

927
00:45:54,559 --> 00:45:56,639
cover the spread tonight. Why do I think that, Well,

928
00:45:57,039 --> 00:46:00,639
you look at the games they've lost, Okay, he's Kentucky.

929
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,800
Only one has been by a greater margin than what

930
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,679
they're getting tonight. Fifteen and a half at Illinois State.

931
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,920
That one game that they lost by more than fifteen,

932
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,000
well that was at Vanderbilt, a team that we should

933
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,440
probably talk about before the show ends, because Vanderbilt is

934
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,480
in a battle of unbeatens with SMU. I like so

935
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,239
Illinois State. We're getting them that. This has always been

936
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,960
a big talking point off an MT where they played well.

937
00:46:25,159 --> 00:46:28,400
They beat both Charlotte and Furman covered. They've covered the

938
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,679
spread three over three in a row. Over All, I

939
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:36,280
think Illinois State the Redbirds a little fat and happy.

940
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:39,239
This is the biggest number they will have laid to

941
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,679
anybody this year. It is an ultimate by low cell high,

942
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,239
hold your nose, EKU by you you can have some

943
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,400
KFC after this fun game will be over by nine o'clock.

944
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,800
It's on ESPN Plus, so you can get some late

945
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,639
night KFC. I see he's refusing to eat it until

946
00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:59,400
ek you cover the spread. EKU plus fifteen and a half.

947
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: My of the Parlay, Brian, you managed to find it.

948
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: This is really interesting, Like you managed to find a

949
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,480
team that hasn't covered a point spread, but that's like

950
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,159
one of the better teams in their conference. So like

951
00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:13,519
a lot of times we get to this point in

952
00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:16,000
the year and teams are really bad, Like you take

953
00:47:16,039 --> 00:47:20,199
like a Loyoli for example, right, Like teams are really

954
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:22,480
bad against the spread, but like some of it has

955
00:47:22,519 --> 00:47:25,840
to do with them just being really bad. Eastern Kentucky

956
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,880
I would argue them having not covered does not have

957
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,639
anything to do with them not being like a good

958
00:47:34,679 --> 00:47:37,159
basketball team or rated where they should be. It's the

959
00:47:37,199 --> 00:47:40,199
fact that all six of their line games, so they

960
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,000
had that weird opener or at home that was a

961
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:46,760
non board game, all six of their line games Western Kentucky,

962
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,440
They're just Western Kentucky is just better than Eastern, than EKU, Vanderbilt,

963
00:47:51,559 --> 00:47:55,599
kent State teams that are just better. Mercer is very

964
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:59,119
good this year. Northern Kentucky on the road, Like that's

965
00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:00,960
just a team. We talked tout that one on this show.

966
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,440
I think Northern Kentucky four or five point favorite in

967
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,199
that game. And then Wafford again is another quality team.

968
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,599
So while they maybe should have got like stolen one

969
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:14,280
of those games somewhere. I think they're probably like you know,

970
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,960
it's harsh that they haven't covered a number and that

971
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,159
they're won and six. So I would agree with you

972
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:22,280
buying Eastern Kentucky now because I think it's you're buying

973
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,239
a good team at a low point that like hasn't

974
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,800
even really played bad, they just played better teams.

975
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,639
Speaker 3: Harsh like Judd Nelson. Rob, there you go?

976
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 4: Is he that harsh?

977
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 3: He's that harsh?

978
00:48:33,559 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, let's give Rob the floor here. I

979
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,239
don't know if you've got your parlay le figured out.

980
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,199
If you don't, I'm just gonna let you throw a

981
00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:44,559
game out that you want to talk about.

982
00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:47,639
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna go, you know, like yesterday, I'm in

983
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,800
a dispute here with my I have inner conflicts going

984
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,599
on between these tears guys of what to use this today.

985
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:55,559
I picked the wrong one. I would have loved to

986
00:48:55,639 --> 00:48:58,400
use Texas A and M and Bucky McMillan's team, and

987
00:48:58,639 --> 00:49:03,920
instead I chose the you side. But I'm gonna as

988
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,719
much as I want to say LSU Boston College over

989
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,920
and I'll just rattle these to everybody. So you know

990
00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:11,800
where I'm at here as much as I want it

991
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,400
to be on Dandy, because next to Michigan, I'm so

992
00:49:14,519 --> 00:49:17,440
highly impressed with what Dandy's done. But eleven points puts

993
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,199
me out of the running for in that game. I'm

994
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:22,119
going to go back to where we a game we've

995
00:49:22,159 --> 00:49:24,599
already talked about, guys, and I just don't see from

996
00:49:24,679 --> 00:49:28,559
what I've seen of Auburn with Pettiford and Hall and

997
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:30,920
what I'm seeing out of Will Wade's team, we described

998
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,519
it really well. There's no reason for me to lay

999
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:35,360
it out again. Go back in the podcast and find it.

1000
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:38,599
But I think Auburn ninety seven and a half is

1001
00:49:38,639 --> 00:49:41,480
definitely my parlay leg here tonight. I just can't see

1002
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,199
them at home in that environment. Will Wade still, I

1003
00:49:45,199 --> 00:49:47,599
don't think you can teach a team defense in one

1004
00:49:47,639 --> 00:49:51,159
game and they just don't really care all that much

1005
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,320
about that end of the floor, and Auburn does. And

1006
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,719
Stephen Pearl has that team fired up. You saw the

1007
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,199
end of that game where they won the third game

1008
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,320
of that attorney. I mean, the kids were all over

1009
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,639
Steven Pearl, So obviously there's good report there. Give me

1010
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:06,960
Auburn minus seven and a half is our parlay leg.

1011
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,559
Speaker 3: All right, we needed one marketing match up in there.

1012
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,800
I think I think after every hit with Central Connecticut

1013
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,760
State Eastern Kentucky back to back, we needed a game that, uh,

1014
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:20,559
you know was odd that you didn't need, you know,

1015
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,199
some premium streaming service to watch. Even if those are

1016
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:25,639
those games, even on ESPN plus trick that.

1017
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: We gave them, Oh yeah, they will be I think,

1018
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:30,079
uh C and Hall might be on. No, they'll go

1019
00:50:30,159 --> 00:50:32,440
be on ESPN Plus somewhere that that game will be on.

1020
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,320
And you said Auburn minus seven and a half, right, I.

1021
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,119
Speaker 4: Just want to make sure that's what I'm seeing. Yep.

1022
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna you know, I'm

1023
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,880
gonna propose a game just because this is this is

1024
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,559
a real this is real, this is the Degenerate Special.

1025
00:50:46,639 --> 00:50:49,760
And and when there's a standalone eleven PM game, uh,

1026
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,480
it has to be talked about. Now after going to

1027
00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,159
Orange Crate after the game, and and you know, being

1028
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,320
out for a little bit well before the game, and

1029
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,079
you know, staying out after the game a little bit,

1030
00:50:59,199 --> 00:51:01,760
do I want to be up at eleven o'clock watching

1031
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:02,159
a bet?

1032
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,159
Speaker 2: Not really, but Hey, you gotta.

1033
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,559
Speaker 1: Do what you gotta do, and what I may have

1034
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:09,119
to do is bet Ucla today.

1035
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: I'm really tempted to do so.

1036
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,199
Speaker 1: I feel like this is kind of the spot where

1037
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,639
they typically get right, really ugly loss to cal Donovan

1038
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,559
dent Or probably probably wishes he never left Richard Patino

1039
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,400
because I just don't know that he.

1040
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:28,559
Speaker 2: It just he hasn't looked like the.

1041
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:31,679
Speaker 1: Guy that I became a massive fan of at New

1042
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:32,800
Mexico last year.

1043
00:51:33,199 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 2: But like I've watched McK cronin forever.

1044
00:51:36,599 --> 00:51:39,039
Speaker 1: It's like this typically is the game where he turns

1045
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:42,639
around and just like smashes a team like Washington, who

1046
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,800
I don't think is particularly great.

1047
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,559
Speaker 2: Now he's got to.

1048
00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:49,159
Speaker 1: Go up to the Pacific Northwest here, Brian Power, Rob,

1049
00:51:49,199 --> 00:51:51,000
you know, someone talked me off of UCLA, so I

1050
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:52,719
don't have to stay up to one in the morning tonight.

1051
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:53,599
Speaker 2: Can anyone do that?

1052
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,599
Speaker 3: Washington's injured right now, which is it's kind of the

1053
00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:01,199
opposite of what you want, Greg. That's all the thing.

1054
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,960
I will say this to pat myself on the back here,

1055
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,360
But I just did first week of the show, second

1056
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,039
week of the show. It was early on and the

1057
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:12,760
show's run. I said, the one team that I see

1058
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,400
in the top twenty five that should not be in

1059
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,920
the top twenty five was UCLA. They're not top twenty

1060
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,639
five anymore. So that was good, by the way. I'm

1061
00:52:18,639 --> 00:52:21,079
good to Georgia. Look yesterday just blowing the doors off

1062
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:24,199
Florida State. So I can't talk you off this one.

1063
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:27,639
I mean all I guess I would just say, conceptually, Drigg,

1064
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,679
I'm not as you know, and generally you I know,

1065
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,760
are the same, not big into playing a road favorite

1066
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,920
even I mean, you can maybe squeeze out a money

1067
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,199
line price on this one here. But Washington really banged up.

1068
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:45,079
And you know, Danny Sprinkle, maybe Rob has his quotes,

1069
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,559
he didn't seem very enthusiastic about this matchup tonight.

1070
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,639
Speaker 4: Well you know who seems less enthusiastic about his team

1071
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:58,280
mc cronin, And we've talked about I was trying as

1072
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,800
you were talking, Brian, to look up the coach I

1073
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,599
quoted yesterday, because I feel like it's three tad Boyle.

1074
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:08,440
I know I've done and I think I got to

1075
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:14,480
somebody else too, who generally preaches about the ineffectiveness of

1076
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:16,880
his team. How about mc cronin though, let's roll with this.

1077
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,000
I think our team struggles to take a punch. We've

1078
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,440
got a glass jaw. If you were to describe us

1079
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,960
as a fighter, will tough en up or it's going

1080
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,960
to be a long year. And McK cronin does that frequently, right,

1081
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,440
He's always after you. And that goes back to your point, Adam,

1082
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,079
I don't know what down of indent would want to

1083
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:38,840
come play for this guy for and the style that

1084
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,519
he was in, and you want to come play mc

1085
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:44,400
cronin's style, which is definitely his way or the highway,

1086
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,599
and that could cause a little bit of friction. I

1087
00:53:47,639 --> 00:53:55,960
think Brian talked about injury to the Washington side, right,

1088
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,320
but UCLA's got the key injury as well to Bill though,

1089
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,239
who didn't.

1090
00:54:01,039 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: I think he's playing though, I think he's gonna play it, yeah.

1091
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,039
Speaker 4: Because I'm seeing unlikely right now. But if he plays,

1092
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,280
it's a different story.

1093
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 2: Yes.

1094
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,599
Speaker 4: If he doesn't play, it's like we said last night

1095
00:54:12,639 --> 00:54:15,280
with Nate Biddle, right, Nate Biddle was such a difference

1096
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,960
maker in the Oregon u USC game not playing, so

1097
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:25,480
you know, for me, normally Mick cronan quotes turned the

1098
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:28,719
tide of his team in a positive way. I just

1099
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,280
don't know how receptive this group is. I think this

1100
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,280
is our first chance to find out, because it won't

1101
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,199
be our last negative Mick cronan quote about his team.

1102
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,440
If they, you know, lose another game, he's going to

1103
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,639
say something bad about him. And I don't have an

1104
00:54:42,639 --> 00:54:46,000
interest in it for that reason. But I do notice

1105
00:54:46,039 --> 00:54:48,440
one thing, guys. I think I texted you Adam about

1106
00:54:48,599 --> 00:54:50,880
a week and a half ago. I'm watching UCLA eleven

1107
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,280
o'clock at night like you're describing. I'm like, man, these

1108
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,599
guys have a lot of three point shooters. It's not

1109
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,159
like UCLA to be at the perimeter as much as

1110
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:03,639
I've seen them be at the perimeters. So maybe a

1111
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:06,760
different style team. Maybe that's what mccronin refers to as

1112
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,360
softer glass jaw. We'll see. I just don't have a

1113
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:10,360
good read on this one.

1114
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one throws their team under the bus like Cronin.

1115
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: He's I mean, he's like the poster child for like

1116
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,960
like just going and right into the media.

1117
00:55:20,039 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 3: First thing in the press comments, not that Kelly's unemployed.

1118
00:55:29,039 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean there was a time last year where he

1119
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,559
went on a I mean he had a meltdown, and

1120
00:55:34,639 --> 00:55:37,159
uh they and they responded, they won a couple of

1121
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:40,519
big games and and for me, like he he's listen,

1122
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:42,199
Cronin's been around for a long time.

1123
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:43,559
Speaker 2: He is a very good coach.

1124
00:55:43,559 --> 00:55:46,159
Speaker 1: At some point he's got to look at Donovan Dent

1125
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,239
and be like why why is he? Like why why

1126
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,079
am I having him passed the ball so much? Like

1127
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:52,679
why why is he become like a pass first guy

1128
00:55:52,679 --> 00:55:55,679
on this team? This dude for New Mexico last year,

1129
00:55:56,119 --> 00:55:59,239
I like, would just straight up win games on his own.

1130
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,440
He can hit tough shot, Like if I'm Cronan, like,

1131
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,840
I'm just like, hey, just go do your thing. The

1132
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,519
guy averaged twenty points a game at New Mexico. He

1133
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:12,559
shouldn't be just allowed to do whatever he wants like that.

1134
00:56:12,639 --> 00:56:15,679
That's really what what should happen. And it's counterintuitive to

1135
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,159
what like Cronan likes to do, which is I think

1136
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,400
part of the problem.

1137
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,639
Speaker 2: I'll be I'll have my eye on Billadeo's status.

1138
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: If he's in your boy might be it might be

1139
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:26,719
another late night for your boy.

1140
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,559
Speaker 2: I might be up bet.

1141
00:56:27,639 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: I might be bet in UCLNA, maybe up to one

1142
00:56:30,039 --> 00:56:32,639
one Eastern. I really just think, think there's they're just

1143
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,159
better team than Washington. Washington banged up. Cronin has had

1144
00:56:37,199 --> 00:56:39,960
success in this spot where he like calls his team

1145
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,800
out after a terrible loss. And that was a bat

1146
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,360
cal is bad. Like that was a bad loss. So yeah,

1147
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:47,639
I'm giving it's.

1148
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: Kind of crazy Washington was favored against Colorado. This is

1149
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:52,719
a team that books may just have overvalued right now.

1150
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,679
You know, you look at that line. I mean, obviously

1151
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,960
you can say anything after the fact, but you know,

1152
00:56:58,199 --> 00:57:01,239
I don't know that kind of seemed like a suspect line.

1153
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: Is by you still in the chat Adam somewhere, Probably, Yeah,

1154
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,559
he said, Brian Kelly throws his players under.

1155
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,639
Speaker 4: Without without question, without question. But what I'd like to

1156
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:14,280
know real quick. I know we're supposed to be the

1157
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,920
guy's giving advice here, but the New Orleans Memphis game

1158
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:19,519
just intrigues me quite a bit. Master p and his

1159
00:57:19,679 --> 00:57:23,760
crew Penny's been bitting down two points down to fourteen.

1160
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,199
I got a good mind to play New Orleans plus

1161
00:57:26,239 --> 00:57:28,800
fourteen tonight against that team, but I don't want to

1162
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,199
step in where I shouldn't stand.

1163
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,719
Speaker 1: No, well, let's let's talk about that game, because I

1164
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,960
can tell you right now I can tell you right

1165
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,960
now that a that a very tuned in a sharp

1166
00:57:39,119 --> 00:57:42,639
friend of mine played the under in that game, and

1167
00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:45,239
so so do what you will with that. Memphis New

1168
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,079
Orleans under played it at one fifty four and a half.

1169
00:57:48,119 --> 00:57:51,559
And this is a gentleman that knows totals and is

1170
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:53,559
typically beating prices on totals.

1171
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 2: So Rob, do you like it? Would that line up with?

1172
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: Like, I guess your your reasoning for the game, but

1173
00:58:01,039 --> 00:58:02,760
by you says I always play penny as a dog

1174
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,079
never is a big favorite.

1175
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 2: Ojo says, let's go under.

1176
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: I would probably lean toward the under just based off

1177
00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:13,159
of like who I know is making that play, And

1178
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:14,280
that's all I got right there.

1179
00:58:15,679 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy because I didn't even as a totals guy.

1180
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,760
They didn't even really look at the total. The number

1181
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,679
was what caught my eye to begin with. I just

1182
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,519
didn't think hard Away is that big of a price

1183
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:26,559
favorite that gets a team that's been feisty all season

1184
00:58:26,599 --> 00:58:28,719
long and trying to make a name for themselves. So

1185
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,719
you know, little brother syndrome so to speak, in that game,

1186
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:34,159
and how.

1187
00:58:34,119 --> 00:58:38,519
Speaker 1: About BP, Yeah right, yeah, you're dying to get that

1188
00:58:38,599 --> 00:58:42,320
in there. How about New Orleans in there bo in

1189
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,960
these big by games. So they beat TCU, they should

1190
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,480
have beat Mississippi State. They had them pretty much dead

1191
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,840
to rights in that game. So I mean, if you can,

1192
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:52,719
if you subscribe to like them being up for these

1193
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,079
like big type games, then I would almost don't know

1194
00:58:55,119 --> 00:58:56,960
how you wouldn't. It would have to be like New

1195
00:58:57,039 --> 00:58:59,599
Orleans or pass I think. And then when some money

1196
00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:03,239
on there, that suggests that each point is a little

1197
00:59:03,239 --> 00:59:05,119
bit more of a premium. So I think you can

1198
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:06,920
make a pretty good case for New Orleans. Plus the

1199
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:07,679
points here.

1200
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 3: Pretty decent look ahead too for Memphis they're playing but

1201
00:59:12,039 --> 00:59:13,079
Baylor on Saturday.

1202
00:59:13,159 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a great point. Great point, guys. Listen,

1203
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,679
we wish we could get to every game on this show.

1204
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,199
If we just can't, there's an hour, so we do

1205
00:59:23,239 --> 00:59:24,880
as did, we get as many in as we can.

1206
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,559
If we miss your game, we're sorry, but great way

1207
00:59:28,599 --> 00:59:30,480
to get other opinions from us. Heading over to the

1208
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,519
wager Talk site, we put plays out. I do full

1209
00:59:33,559 --> 00:59:35,519
analysis for my plays every day, and all the other

1210
00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:39,159
guys do as well. You're gonna oftentimes almost every time

1211
00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:42,599
we'll likely get plays or analysis that wasn't part of

1212
00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:44,800
the show. If we just gave all the analysis out

1213
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,559
on the show, none of us would be employed. So yeah,

1214
00:59:47,679 --> 00:59:50,880
great way to get great way to get more info.

1215
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,000
And I'll wrap it up by recapping the parlay that

1216
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:55,320
is gonna set us off.

1217
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna this is gonna be the one.

1218
00:59:57,039 --> 00:59:59,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit it, and then we're gonna rattle off

1219
00:59:59,559 --> 01:00:01,480
probably three in next week or so.

1220
01:00:01,519 --> 01:00:02,119
Speaker 2: You heard it here.

1221
01:00:02,199 --> 01:00:07,039
Speaker 1: First, Brian Power is on Eastern Kentucky plus fifteen and

1222
01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:07,559
a half.

1223
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,519
Speaker 2: That's what it is, BP fifteen.

1224
01:00:09,199 --> 01:00:12,599
Speaker 3: And a half, fifteen and a half, finally.

1225
01:00:12,239 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Getting their first cover of the season. I'm going with

1226
01:00:15,159 --> 01:00:17,880
the giant killer Central Connecticut State.

1227
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: They continue to knock off Power Conference teams plus sixteen

1228
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,480
and a half, and then Rob Vino Auburn minus seven

1229
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,599
and a half. So you've got the Auburn Tigers for

1230
01:00:27,719 --> 01:00:31,760
Veno minus seven and a half, Eastern Kentucky minus fifth

1231
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,159
plus fifteen and a half. Sorry, Eastern Kentucky plus fifteen

1232
01:00:35,159 --> 01:00:39,559
and a half, Central Connecticut State plus sixteen and a half.

1233
01:00:39,599 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: Three sides three and zero.

1234
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit the parlay that's plus six hundred right there,

1235
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,440
and we're gonna We're gonna get it. It's gonna propel
