1
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:07,519
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It's Tuesday morning.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just getting set up as we go here.

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,720
It's five dollars Tuesday at Wager Talk. It's time for

4
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:17,679
full court press, Robino. I have made it back to

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,679
Upstate New York. A little little sad. I rolled in

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,039
late last night. Wake up this morning. It's it's five

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,560
degrees maybe four, So we're back home. But ready to uh,

8
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:35,719
you know, I'm ready to lock in on Tuesday slate.

9
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:38,399
I had a winter last night with Sacramento State, so

10
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:40,159
I'm off to a four and oh start on the month.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,359
And Rob, you know, we hit our parlay yesterday the

12
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,320
Syracuse Orange decided to play the last couple of minutes

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,200
of that game, got the spread and your team total home.

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,200
How did your night go outside of the team total

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,159
hit with Syracuse?

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a difference maker in college, Adam two

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,920
and one. You know, we talked about the Cookman game

18
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,079
on air and I said I was going to take

19
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:05,840
a little more time to make a decision on that,

20
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:07,599
and the decision I came to ended up being the

21
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:10,760
correct one for clients because I played with two Cookman's

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,159
team total over the number which got there and the

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,640
full game total, which we discussed on air. You probably pushed.

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,120
There were some forty two and a half's out there too,

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319
so if you got unlucky, you could have unlucky there.

26
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 4: But not for me.

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,519
Speaker 3: We got had a good one there, and then Texas

28
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:28,959
Tech kind of broke my heart at the end of

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,599
the game fifty nine to fifty with the big rally.

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,599
I thought that Texas Tech was in firm control until

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,959
they weren't fourteen to two run I guess to close

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,200
that game led by Darren Peterson, So two in one

33
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,560
there also had an NBA game, So for me, it

34
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:45,599
was a three and one night, very very good.

35
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll move right along if you If you

36
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:52,920
want to get all the plays, we have a great

37
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,959
package that's called the Double the Fight. Two Times of

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Firepower College Basketball is three day all access for my

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,560
seltn Rob.

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,319
Speaker 1: It's also five dollars Tuesday.

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,159
Speaker 2: So what I'm gonna do today, Rob, I've got I've

42
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:06,599
already got a couple of plays locked in.

43
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,959
Speaker 1: I like this slate quite a bit.

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: I haven't decided which one I'm gonna use for the

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560
five dollars play, And basically I'm just gonna kind of

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,319
see what comes up on the show, because I'll probably

47
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,280
give you at least one for free. Like I said,

48
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,280
I think I'm gonna have three or four plays, Rob,

49
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:23,879
I was kind of hoping that the uh, you know,

50
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:26,639
the schedule. It's really too bad for me that this

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,960
game wasn't last night, because I probably would have hit

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,120
it on my way back through. Also, I've behaved this

53
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,520
year in terms of like making the feature game the

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560
big power conference game of the you know, game of

55
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,520
the night, whatever the big national TV power conference game is.

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,199
But I looked at the schedule today, Rob, and I said,

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,719
you know what, there's not like a great like big time.

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,360
You know, last night we had Kansas and Texas Tech.

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
I looked, I said, there's not really that tonight. So

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,879
our feature game tonight is gonna be Miami of Ohio

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,520
and Buffalo. I truly believe that this is the most

62
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,919
interesting game if you're a college basketball fan, even if

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
you're a fair weather college basketball fan. At this point,

64
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,439
this is the most intriguing game of the night. Miami

65
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,120
of Ohio has cracked the top twenty five, they've yet

66
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,520
to lose. They're twenty two and oh. Like I said,

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,479
it kills me that I'm not going to be at

68
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:20,000
this game. Buffalo is only two and a half hours away,

69
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,439
but been around the last couple of days, so I

70
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,479
kind of can't get back in the car and go

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,400
drive two and a half hours to a game tonight,

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360
especially when they might get some snow. But at any rate,

73
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,800
huge game for Buffalo. They nearly won this one the

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,800
first time around. Actually, they pretty much had the game

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,479
one rot. It took a tip out three, a misshot,

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,159
a tip out for a three at the buzzer, and

77
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,479
then a buzzer beater three to win in overtime. So

78
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,360
my question to you is this Miami of Ohio twenty

79
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,639
two and oh twenty third in the country, does their

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,680
unbeaten season continue tonight?

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you would think that it does.

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,919
Speaker 3: A couple of things here, Adams situationally, like you just

83
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,520
pointed out, Yeah, Buffalo revenge from an overtime loss, a

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,599
game that they were ahead in the second half late

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,800
didn't get there.

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: So you have that little bit of revenge. You have

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,959
your home floor, you have what might have been a

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,920
look ahead by Buffalo on Saturday, you know they lost

89
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,040
on Saturday, and a couple of quotes from the head

90
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,120
coach who said, I don't think we brought the proper

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,439
fight to this game.

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: To me, that indicates all eyes were on Miami of Ohio.

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,279
The next game, they weren't necessarily on Ohio. You Saturday

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,920
give up thirteen turnovers, thirteen offensive rebounds, you're giving the

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,079
other team a chance to knock you off. So you know,

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,879
on a non Buffalo didn't do it, didn't play with

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,079
one hundred percent focus in that game on Saturday. Now,

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,240
who are they when they are one hundred percent focused?

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,439
There one of the mac's best offensive teams that can't

100
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:07,079
play any defense whatsoever. And if you're just going by

101
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:13,199
what's going on this season statistically, ats wise, inside the conference,

102
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,399
you probably want Miami. Miami's four and oh on the

103
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,279
conference road against the spread this year, they go on

104
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,399
the road, it doesn't matter, they just win and cover.

105
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,680
The Buffalo side is the exact opposite, and they've lost

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,319
their last four at home against the spread, and they

107
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,160
bent the teams that are in the upper echelon of

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,120
the MAC. Right, Kent State can't get the job done,

109
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,519
Akron can't get the job done. Ohio, you can't get

110
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:40,240
the job done.

111
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,319
Speaker 4: Excuse me, U mass can't get the job done.

112
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,519
Speaker 3: I was impressed by Miami of Ohio on Saturday to

113
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,399
be able to come out nothing. Beating Northern Illinois constitutes

114
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,160
is any great win, but it was on the heels

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,279
of the close called against you Mass and Miami o

116
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,959
just bounced right back. Difference between these two reading some quotes,

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120
I think Miami sees the path where they're going, and

118
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,879
you have player quotes and you have coaches quotes about

119
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,839
talking about focusing on defense from here on. Out held

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,839
Northern Illinois to sixty one points the other day. Again,

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,879
we're not gonna take anything from that because Norton Illinois

122
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:26,240
is not a good basketball team. But Antoine Woolfolks says,

123
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,759
I'd rather hold a team to sixty points and win

124
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:31,759
than score in the hundreds. I think we can score

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,160
with anybody, but if we continue to lock down on defense,

126
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,000
the sky would be the limit for us. Good head

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,839
coach Travis Steele, who basically says the same thing.

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: We have good spurret ability.

129
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 3: We can score in bunches, but our defense is what

130
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:47,040
allows you to get those big runs, goes on to

131
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,319
say our offense is elite on the defensive side. I

132
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,879
want to be elite too. That's what great teams are.

133
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,000
The defensive disparity as it is without Miami being great

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,279
in league play between these two is huge if Buffalo

135
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,079
just can't stop anybody. But again, like you say in

136
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,600
that first game, they're big, three free tag sable at

137
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,839
Brizzy went crazy, all had over twenty points, All did

138
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040
their end of the you know, their share of the work,

139
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,920
and they're capable of doing it again. So for me,

140
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,560
I would probably take slight lean toward Miami. It's the

141
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,879
proven road commodity inside league against the team that does

142
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160
not win on the road. You could play do excuse

143
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,959
me win at home. You could play the do factor

144
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,560
and say Buffaloes do to cover one at home. I

145
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,639
guess they've got revenge, et cetera. They can score. Total

146
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,560
would be always what attracts me in this particular matchup,

147
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560
and we're looking at one sixty.

148
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:40,839
Speaker 4: Four and a half.

149
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,279
Speaker 3: Haven't gotten there yet, Adam, but it seems like it

150
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,360
would be a higher scoring game. You know, last week

151
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,720
you joked and said, maybe Rob you just stay away

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,480
from the Miamis because they both hurt me last week

153
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,839
and my look at Miami Ohio's team total in this

154
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,959
one was the initial way I thought I would go. Again,

155
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,279
I haven't gotten anywhere with it yet, still on the

156
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,560
table to be a play, but I just don't know

157
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,639
that I want to bet against Miami at this point.

158
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Like I say, they showed resiliency Saturday. They could have

159
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:14,800
easily let down against Northern Illinois. They did not, and

160
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:19,480
it seems again like the team mentally has a path

161
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,879
that they want to follow with getting better on defense.

162
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: We'll see if they do so tonight against Buffalo.

163
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: I think they're going to destroy Buffalo here.

164
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:32,879
Speaker 2: I haven't bet this yet, but like I'm hearing a lot,

165
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,080
I think you're gonna have a very Like you just

166
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,039
watch your Twitter today.

167
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure there's.

168
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: Gonna be a lot of you know, people making a

169
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,200
case for Buffalo that haven't probably haven't watched either of

170
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,159
these teams play yet this year. Off of the fact that, yeah,

171
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,240
they're home against the ranked team. They Yes, they did

172
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,159
almost win the first meeting, So credit to them for

173
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,159
that effort in the first meeting that was a they

174
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360
played a great game. Miami of Ohio probably caught sleep

175
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:04,759
in a little bit there, and suddenly Buffalo was in

176
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,279
that game, and you could you could argue they could

177
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,159
have won. Here's my problem with Buffalo in this In

178
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:14,159
this game, they probably need to score one hundred points

179
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,840
to cover this number. Like they're probably gonna need to

180
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:22,360
score ninety. It's just a conservative side to cover this number.

181
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,879
Like they you go back to the first meeting, they

182
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,240
had a very good offensive game in that game, right,

183
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,480
fifty three point eight percent from the field, They hit

184
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:33,960
thirteen threes. You could have could You can say, yeah,

185
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,399
they should have won, but they didn't. They ended up

186
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,159
losing on the road. Miami of Ohio is now gonna

187
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,799
be ready for that. In my opinion, they're not taking

188
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,279
Buffalo lightly like they maybe did in the first meeting.

189
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,360
The problem, like you talked about the Buffalo defense, it's

190
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:50,000
not great. You know, this is a team coming into

191
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:53,399
the mac I. I mean, I knew that Buffalo couldn't

192
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:55,320
be worse than they were the last two years, which

193
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,799
was as bad as so. Of course up here Buffalo

194
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,440
we had the great years with NATO's I believe it

195
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,919
was Jim White cell after him, and he had good

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,879
he had good teams.

197
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: He had good Buffalo teams.

198
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,639
Speaker 2: Halkavich from Villanova comes in and and really had a

199
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,120
mess those first couple of years.

200
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: But I think some of those guys are point shaving.

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,159
I think it came out after the fact.

202
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:21,159
Speaker 2: I forget maybe it was Isaiah Adams that was on

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,000
that in that document, But the point is he had

204
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,519
rosters that were working against him the first couple of years.

205
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: Just you know, they were holdovers from the previous regime.

206
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,720
So I like, I like the direction Buffaloes going in,

207
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,159
But these two teams are not equal. In my opinion.

208
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Miami of Ohio space is the floor as good as anyone. Uh,

209
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,639
they are going to rip apart basically any defense, especially

210
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,519
a bad defense like Buffaloes. So when you look at

211
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:50,120
this from a matchup standpoint, you gotta like Miami of Ohio.

212
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,320
I get the If you want to give me the

213
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,200
counterpoint and say, well, Miami of Ohio's got a target

214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,879
on their back, now, yeah, I can see that. Sure,

215
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:01,080
it's probably gonna be a good but it'll probably be

216
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Buffalo's like most hype home game in a while, you know,

217
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,120
they and they probably will have fans. They had like

218
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,360
six thousand for Saint Bonaventure earlier earlier this year, so

219
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,399
I think they'll get a decent turnout because the kids

220
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:14,559
are on campus for this one.

221
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:16,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you have both.

222
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: Those are the only things working in Buffalo's favor here

223
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,399
in my opinion, the fact that you know, they all

224
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,200
the pressure maybe is on the visitors being undefeated and

225
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,679
that they should have a good crowd. From a basketball standpoint,

226
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,840
Miami of Ohio should tread this team. They are probably

227
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:35,639
going to hit their team total. They're probably going to score,

228
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,559
you know, and it's probably going to take another fifty

229
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,320
plus percent effort from the field from Buffalo to cover

230
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,440
four and a half or five or five.

231
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,879
Speaker 1: Whatever it is.

232
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: If you don't get that, look for Miami of Ohio

233
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,960
by double digits.

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,159
Speaker 1: I have not played this yet.

235
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if I I you know, Rob, I'm

236
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:56,159
over here talking like that.

237
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,039
Speaker 1: It's going to be so easy for Miami Ohio.

238
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,639
Speaker 2: And I still can't bring myself to click, uh click

239
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Miami of Ohio in the you know, in the account

240
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,000
in the system, because it is in that weird range

241
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,320
where it's four and a half five and it's like, yeah,

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Buffalo could could clip that.

243
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,279
Speaker 1: At the end, Joey Cheese is all one hundred percent.

244
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,399
Speaker 2: He goes Joey Cheese says, Buffalo, without a doubt will

245
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:18,960
be the Twitter cap or player of the day.

246
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: He's so right about that.

247
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: And Joey, how many of those how many of those

248
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,840
Twitter cappers watch.

249
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,399
Speaker 1: A minute of Buffalo basketball this year? Is what I

250
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,320
want to know. So, yeah, I.

251
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,639
Speaker 2: The only way I could play this would be Miami

252
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,440
of Ohio. And I actually think you're getting a little

253
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200
bit of a bargain at four and a half. That

254
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,639
that seems like that seems like overshaded to the Buffalo side,

255
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,159
Rob Veino.

256
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, numbers do move as we speak at

257
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,200
and you see some some Buffalo love at some places here.

258
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,960
You also see it's it's a.

259
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,879
Speaker 4: Weird it's a pretty weird line movement.

260
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: I see some five and a halfs downe to four

261
00:12:57,399 --> 00:12:59,320
and a halfs, and I see some fives going up

262
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,360
to five and a half. So dependent upon where you go,

263
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:06,720
who you want, you can shop to the best of

264
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:10,320
the number for either side. You know, I think one

265
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,559
of the points you made is so true, Adam, that

266
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:17,440
Miami of Ohio first time around probably was not really

267
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,279
all that worried about losing to Buffalo. Get caught up

268
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:24,080
in a game where and Buffalo has scoring capability, right.

269
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,399
I mentioned those Big three and a couple of you

270
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,039
know Brizzy, it's like this fourth school in four years,

271
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:34,720
but he and free Tag, etc. They played as good

272
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,320
as they can play. Miami also played tremendously offensively in

273
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,960
that game, and second time around, you have to believe

274
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,399
that Miami knows what's coming at them. That's why I

275
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,679
think I said earlier that kind of impressed that they

276
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,600
went out and just got to business and destroyed Northern

277
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,120
Illinois off of that close call with Massachusetts. It shows

278
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:59,120
me that they can focus when necessary. And the fact

279
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,600
that they're all talking about from coach to players, talking

280
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:04,360
about getting better on defense is even more impressive to me.

281
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,639
So I think they have their site set on bigger

282
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:10,399
things in March Madness, and they seem to want to

283
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,519
put into work to get there.

284
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: Peter Souter in Company.

285
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: I could still maybe get to this over eighty three

286
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,879
and a half in this game.

287
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,279
Speaker 4: We'll see how it goes during the day.

288
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I've got I've

289
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,200
got two plays locked in already. This is a candidate

290
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,799
for a third. I see Jacob in the chat was

291
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,759
like man, if this gets down, if this gets knocked

292
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:33,200
down to four, I'm probably in with Miami Ohio. I

293
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,840
think I'd be with you. I think that would. I

294
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,399
don't think I could pass that up. I'm even four

295
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,000
and a half right now most of the four and

296
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,679
a half or minus one fifteen. If this even got

297
00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:44,559
to four and a half minus one ten, I may

298
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:46,799
have to I may just have to do it. I

299
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:49,879
just see such a good matchup there for the RedHawks.

300
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:54,080
And yeah it's again. I think, going back to what

301
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,399
you said first time around, Buffalo is like a ten

302
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,600
point dog right now. They're on Miami of Ohio's now

303
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:04,600
all right, let's move along. Let's go to Garth in

304
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:09,200
the chat, Garth with the donation much appreciated. We appreciate

305
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
all you guys. Joey Cheese. I see your play. I

306
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,200
liked your comment about the Twitter cap or play of

307
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,279
the day. So I'll get you. I'll get your get

308
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,440
your game in next. But let's go to Garth first.

309
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:19,039
Speaker 4: Rob.

310
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,519
Speaker 2: I was actually at the first meeting between these two

311
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,200
teams at Carnaseca Court earlier this year.

312
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:27,279
Speaker 1: De Paul Verus Saint John's.

313
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: I think I texted you either the following morning or

314
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,440
when I was leaving that game, and I said, you know,

315
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,559
I left this game more impressed with DePaul than I

316
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:39,879
was with Saint John's at the time. Now you have

317
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,000
to go back that way. I believe that was one

318
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,159
of the first Big East games for either of these

319
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,440
teams this year, because that was like mid December, so

320
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,320
I'm pretty sure it was either the Big East. Yeah,

321
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,799
I think it was the Big East opener for both teams.

322
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Saint John's ended up winning the game seventy nine sixty six.

323
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,080
It ended up being an easy cover for DePaul. De

324
00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:00,600
Paul was a nineteen and a half point underdog in

325
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,159
that game, and and you know, I kind of think

326
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:08,120
what I saw there has played out where you know,

327
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,080
Saint John's is, yes, they're nine and one, congratulations, you're

328
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,679
you know, being nine and one against the teams or

329
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,279
nine and one against they still contend is not overly impressive.

330
00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:24,039
Speaker 1: But De Paul has been I would say, reasonably good.

331
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,399
Speaker 2: I know they're only four and seven, but this is

332
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,559
a team the last few years that's that struggled to

333
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600
even win a conference game here and there. So the

334
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,279
fact that they have four conference wins, you know, tough

335
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,759
loss last time out against Xavier, lose by two.

336
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: Went on the road, Uh, competitive with Butler.

337
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: You know, they've been in a lot of these games,

338
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:46,200
and the thing that's nice for them is, you know,

339
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,600
going forward, they actually have quite a few home games

340
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,000
and they'll finish the season with like three of you know,

341
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,240
a couplet, a couple at home as well. This one

342
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,919
is out in Chicago tonight ranked Saint John's coming in.

343
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,799
Garth says De Paul has been a cover machine on

344
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,680
the road. He also likes the under So this game

345
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:07,880
being in Chicago, do you think DePaul can cover this

346
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,519
one at home?

347
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,279
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in de Paul. I think we chatted them

348
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:14,799
up last week pretty heavily.

349
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: Heading Oh we did on yeah, before that particular game

350
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,079
for sure, Yeah yeah.

351
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: And then they go out on the road against two

352
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,000
beatable teams in the Big East. I know Georgetown is

353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,319
coming on a little bit right now. But Georgetown won

354
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,200
that game seventy to sixty one, and I don't know

355
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
that it was that difficult. I don't you know, thinking

356
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,400
back on that game, I don't remember De Paul ever

357
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,039
being in command at any point in time in that one.

358
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,559
Speaker 4: Georgetown had that thing wire to wire. And then they

359
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:41,559
come back and play.

360
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,559
Speaker 3: Xavier, a team that we know is very beatable, and

361
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,960
they couldn't beat Xavier on the road, So now you

362
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,039
know they they did they Plateau, did they hit their

363
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:53,319
ceiling when we were chatting them up, And now they're

364
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:55,000
just showing us who they really are. I mean, I

365
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,880
know you've said all season long, rightfully so that the

366
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,640
Big East is just asterist this year where Big East

367
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,000
standards are concerned, and De Paul's showing you that even

368
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:09,680
a middling team or less than middling team can have

369
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,680
their high point in the season and get even guys

370
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,039
like us a little bit excited about their prospects and

371
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,839
then just you know, not beat teams like Georgetown Xavier

372
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,319
on the road, neither one not saying they had to

373
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,359
beat both, but couldn't beat either. One question is now

374
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,119
you're back home, are they more comfortable at home?

375
00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:28,799
Speaker 4: Probably?

376
00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: So I worry about them turnover wise here, Adam, it's

377
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,920
not a team that's that great at ball handling, and

378
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,799
Saint John's obviously with that style, takes the ball away,

379
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:39,960
gets a lot of their points.

380
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 4: Was interesting just to see this morning.

381
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: And again there's thirty three conferences, thirty four conferences or

382
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:48,960
whatever in.

383
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,759
Speaker 4: Big East is one of the biggest. But I was

384
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,480
unaware that.

385
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: Saint John's now stands as the number one offensive efficiency

386
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,039
team in this league. For all the problems that Saint

387
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,119
John's has had, Rick Patino has them coming along pretty

388
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,319
well at this point in time.

389
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,079
Speaker 4: On the offensive end.

390
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 3: It's not you know, last year's team was better, but

391
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,799
last year's team was brick city and defense, this team

392
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:14,640
shoots it a little bit better than that team did,

393
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,079
maybe not as good athletically or personnel wise. I don't

394
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:21,319
want to lay a lot of points with them here, Adam,

395
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,039
because I do know that De Paul at home tonight

396
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:28,599
could be primed for trying to get a little bit

397
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,079
of revenge for the game earlier. But I don't see

398
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,960
these teams going in the same upward direction. I think

399
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Saint John's is getting better as the year goes on.

400
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:42,559
A typical Patino type team where DePaul is you know,

401
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:46,799
they're a crapshoot on any any given night, for me,

402
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,720
it would probably be a pass on the side and

403
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,480
maybe a slight look towards this total. Again, Saint John's,

404
00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:00,720
if they get if they get bonus points of steels

405
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,720
and turnovers, then they're gonna get their share. They're gonna

406
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,720
get close to eighty and DePaul at home, does it

407
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,079
help their offensive output? Maybe it was bad last game

408
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,079
against Xavier. I'm a big bounce back guy. I think

409
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,519
if you can only score sixty six against Xavier, your

410
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,400
next game at home, you should be a little bit better.

411
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,960
So maybe the total comes into play for me. Sidewise,

412
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,000
I think Saint John's clearly wins the game. I just

413
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:25,440
don't know if I want to lay this type of

414
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:27,559
number on the road.

415
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that Saint John's just has a clear

416
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,640
win here.

417
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,519
Speaker 2: I think it would be a pretty big upset if

418
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:37,440
De Paul comes out and wins this game out right.

419
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,400
But I think they're gonna have a chance. I think

420
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,599
they're gonna be in this game.

421
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,599
Speaker 1: I'll go back. So I've seen Saint John's play in

422
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,559
person twice this year.

423
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,799
Speaker 2: I was at the first meeting between these two teams,

424
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,480
and I was at the Saint John's Villanova game a

425
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:50,240
couple of weeks ago.

426
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:51,559
Speaker 1: That one was in Philly.

427
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: I was more impressed with how DePaul played against Saint

428
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,039
John's than I was with Villanova, which is a little

429
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:02,079
bit relevant because Villanova, like they kind of came back

430
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,839
at the end. If you look at the box score,

431
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,640
you're like, oh, that was a decent game. You know,

432
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,000
Saint John's went on the road and won by seven,

433
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,400
But that really wasn't a great game, Like it was

434
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,079
like close in the first half, and Villanova really just

435
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,039
wasn't very good in the second half. The first meet,

436
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,880
so again tough, you know, having to play the first

437
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,599
meeting in this The first meeting of this between these

438
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,039
two teams is card second court. So it wasn't at

439
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:26,039
the garden. That's always going to be tougher. It was

440
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:29,279
that sold out crowd. It was early December, which meant

441
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,559
students were still there. I believe even if there wasn't,

442
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,359
students were still there. It was sold out, so it

443
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,480
was still a great crowd. Five thousand seed Arena and

444
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:42,720
Queens and de Paul. DePaul went down early, like right

445
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:46,599
like Saint John's had had a little spur early to

446
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,240
give themselves the lead, like like maybe halfway through the

447
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,000
first half if I remember correctly, and DePaul really couldn't

448
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:54,880
overcome that.

449
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: Uh, they kept making a run.

450
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: They would get it to like, you know, they cut

451
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,640
into it, but they really could overcome, you know, being

452
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,720
down early. That being said, the rest of that game,

453
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,519
you'll call it the last twenty to twenty five minutes.

454
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: That game very very competitive.

455
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:11,839
Speaker 2: If you didn't, if you weren't looking at the scoreboard,

456
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,559
you'd say, oh, this was a pretty even game. Game

457
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,640
turns out to be a game, turns out to be

458
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,960
a seventy nine to sixty six final. But again it was,

459
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680
in my opinion, it was a competitive basketball game. Four

460
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,359
straight wins on the on their home floor for De Paul.

461
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,359
So right now in Big East play, DePaul's won four

462
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,599
straight at home. They're only their only Big East home

463
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,119
loss was Yukon way back in early December. They've now

464
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,680
beat Xavier, Georgetown, Marquette, and Seaton Hall in consecutive home games,

465
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,920
so that's pretty impressive to me. They've been playing well

466
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,680
at home and so again I like DePaul plus the

467
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,400
points here. If like Garth, if you're going to play

468
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,799
this game like I think, I would prefer to.

469
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: Paul plus the points. But it might correlate a little

470
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,920
bit with the under because they can't just let Saint

471
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,759
John score it will if they want to cover this number.

472
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,839
Speaker 2: All right, let's well, quick quick promo. It's five dollars

473
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:09,599
Tuesday at wager Talk. You know what that means. Every

474
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,960
hand any k handicapper is gonna have a play up

475
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:13,160
for five bucks.

476
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna have one.

477
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,279
Speaker 2: I just haven't put it up yet because I'm probably

478
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:19,759
gonna give you one of them, one of my other

479
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:22,359
ones for free on the show. If it comes up,

480
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,920
we'll see Rob and I will be going for another

481
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,599
parlay win Rob. After yesterday's win, we're down like two

482
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,240
point six units on the year for the parlay, so

483
00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:35,079
we very well. If we go to team or both

484
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,279
at like that minus one ten range, we might be

485
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:40,759
playing to be even on the year, you know which

486
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:43,960
would be again, it's pretty I'll call that an accomplishment.

487
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,319
It's February. We've been playing a parlay every day. If

488
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,119
we can get to like even where we have a

489
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,440
chance to be ahead, that's pretty good. So stay tuned

490
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:54,680
with us for the next thirty minutes. We're gonna be

491
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,000
locking in to at least two parlay legs. Who knows,

492
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,640
maybe even make it a three. Teamer'll probably do one

493
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,240
at least some point this week.

494
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: That's a three teamer.

495
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,039
Speaker 2: But yeah, so if you're waiting for the play stick around,

496
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,119
we'll have at least two of them the rest of

497
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,359
the way. In the meantime, let's go to mad Let's

498
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,200
go to mad Max. Mad Max, thank you for the

499
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,640
donation to the show. It is greatly appreciated, Mad Max.

500
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,640
As South Carolina off an overtime loss, Texas on a roll,

501
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,880
Texas is strong at home. He's leaning Texas minus thirteen

502
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,839
and a half. Robino, I've been talking way too much,

503
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:30,880
so I'm gonna let you have the floor on this one.

504
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,599
He says, team total or spread. Do you like the

505
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Longhorns in any capacity here?

506
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: Well, I would answer that by saying I don't like

507
00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:42,480
South Carolina in any capacity at this point in time.

508
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,039
I mean, this team's going downhill like an avalanche in

509
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,640
a hurry. Texas A and M give up ninety two,

510
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,319
Florida give up ninety five. LSU give up ninety two,

511
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720
albeit in overtime. LSU was a team that, even with

512
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,319
Ddon Thomas, was still having a ton of issues trying

513
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,680
to win games. They get that in South Carolina. South

514
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,240
Carolina's a bad basketball team, and one thing you've been

515
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:06,920
able to count on them for in the past. Is

516
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:12,720
a good defensive end of the basketball court, but it's

517
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:15,119
just not the case anymore. Right Arkansas hit him for

518
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,319
one oh eight, Oklahoma got them for seventy six. There's

519
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:23,920
no reason why Texas off of the Oklahoma game and

520
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,440
now looking for an opportunity to stack wins because.

521
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: We know what seeding.

522
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 3: Seedings mean at this point in time, whether it be

523
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,279
conference tournament, whether it be March Madness positioning. But you've

524
00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:39,839
got back to back winnables here at home this week.

525
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,519
This could be a big week for Texas. You've got

526
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:45,000
South Carolina and Ole Miss, no reason why you shouldn't

527
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,279
be both, So I expect Texas to be fired up

528
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,680
and ready to go here.

529
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,519
Speaker 4: I've said before that.

530
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: In any in any of these sports, college football, NFL football, NBA,

531
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,359
college basket ball, what players love most is putting up numbers.

532
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,799
And when you get a team that you can put

533
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:12,400
up statistical numbers against, generally guys do that Texas, Adam,

534
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:17,119
it's been a little bit corrected. Go back two weeks

535
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,079
to when we did our first Saturday show with Kelly

536
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,759
and I read this Sean Miller quote who said we

537
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,039
will file the shi t out of anybody that haven't

538
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:29,839
filed as much as of late. You know, it was

539
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,599
a problem that he wanted to have corrected. Thought they

540
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,519
had given away too many points on a free throw line.

541
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,279
South Carolina has difficulty scoring anyway, so you don't want

542
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:39,880
to give them anything free on the foul line. I

543
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,559
think in this particular instance, let's get the current team

544
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,839
total up here, because that's usually where I'm at, you know,

545
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,160
to answer the question in the chat, and I forget

546
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,960
who asked that I apologize my I do think Texas

547
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,039
wins by margin here, mad Max.

548
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:59,079
Speaker 4: Apologize Max. I do think they would buy margin.

549
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 3: But just the name of the way I bet, I

550
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240
think eighty and a half point total four Texas to

551
00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:07,160
go over here against this South Carolina defense that has

552
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,920
absolutely falling off a clip is probably the way I

553
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,759
would look with a little more conviction for Texas to

554
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:17,759
get eighty plus at home. And as I mentioned, Sean

555
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:20,440
Miller is a good head coach, and he's gonna look

556
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,279
at this week's schedule the way the same way I

557
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,079
just looked at it.

558
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: Guys, we got two right here.

559
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: The SEC is hard enough, but we got two that

560
00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:30,359
we can go out and win. I think they'll be

561
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,799
fired up. I think they get eighty plus, So I

562
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:36,279
would think that's the way I would go. Not that

563
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,200
laying the points is a bad idea, but I think

564
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,599
a better idea is to play Texas up and over

565
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,279
eighty and a half.

566
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:46,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I like Texas at the opener. You know,

567
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,279
I don't know if you'll have a chance at eleven

568
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:50,240
and a half at any point the rest of the day.

569
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Even even twelve would be fine. Thirteen and a half

570
00:27:54,279 --> 00:27:56,160
some places is probably getting a little bit out of

571
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,839
the range where I'd be comfortable, like taking two points

572
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,759
worse than what it could be had on the open.

573
00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:04,599
But I mean Texas winning by twenty five wouldn't surprise

574
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,559
me either. We had South Carolina on the show a

575
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:10,160
couple of weeks ago, and I think we kind of

576
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,200
fired it in at the gun, like just to get

577
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,839
one more in at the at the horn, and we

578
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960
both kind of looked at each other and was like, well,

579
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,799
we don't have a great handicap here, but like, Florida

580
00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:22,119
is probably gonna win by one hundred, and that's exactly

581
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,160
what happened. It was just a no contest that was

582
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,119
a couple of games ago. So for South Carolina, they

583
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,759
were just ripped to shreds by Florida. That was a

584
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:34,319
home game for South Carolina, ninety five to forty eight.

585
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960
They lost that game. Now I'm not saying that Texas

586
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,519
is Florida. They're not, but they're certainly a far more

587
00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:44,440
formidable opponent than LSU is, especially without Thomas.

588
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,759
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the game. It was the Kentucky game.

589
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,000
So it was the game right after they had gotten

590
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240
their two big wins back to back. They beat Alabama

591
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:54,279
and they beat Vanderbilt.

592
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:56,279
Speaker 2: They turned around and lost to Texas A and M

593
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,000
and I remember we did it.

594
00:28:58,119 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: We did the show.

595
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,319
Speaker 2: I had a four percent in that game on Texas

596
00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,480
and I said, you know, I said, I think their

597
00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:06,839
season is I think you actually were the one that

598
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:08,920
brought it up and said maybe, you know, maybe those

599
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,720
two wins and then Miller ripping them a little bit

600
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,519
was going to turn their season around. I turned around

601
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:18,079
and met Texas plus seven. They covered, but they lost

602
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:20,440
the game. And then we were on with Kelly for

603
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,359
the Georgia game, and I noted, I said, you know,

604
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:25,799
they lost that game. I felt like they didn't even

605
00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:28,839
play very good, they still covered the seven and they came.

606
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,599
Speaker 1: Out and just destroyed Georgia. You know that.

607
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: I felt like they played pretty good against Auburn. They

608
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,079
covered that game. So four straight wins against the spread.

609
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:39,480
Even though Texas is two and two their last four games,

610
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:42,039
they've covered all four of them over the weekend.

611
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,359
Speaker 1: Good second half for them.

612
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,319
Speaker 2: They pull away from Oklahoma, who is another inferior team.

613
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:51,079
So yeah, I mean you can look at this week

614
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:53,920
and say, Okay, where's Texas gonna slip up?

615
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: Right?

616
00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: Like maybe maybe one of these next two is close.

617
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,480
That wouldn't surprise me, rob. I guess, like you look

618
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,920
at the week as a whole, They're gonna be at home.

619
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
They're gonna probably be big favorites of both. Do they

620
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440
cover the number in both of them? Yeah, I don't know.

621
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,480
I mean it's still Texas. It's still you know, they

622
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:14,400
still find ways to beat themselves on occasion. But here

623
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,079
I kind of I just I just wouldn't want South Carolina.

624
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:23,319
So eleven or twelve I think I'm okay with. But

625
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:25,759
because I because I look at this week as a

626
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:28,680
whole and see these two games coming up where Texas

627
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:32,119
is likely double digit favorite. They're probably gonna cover one

628
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,640
of them and one will be close. I don't know

629
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,160
if they'll lose either, but they'll probably have a scare

630
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:40,319
in one of these two. Figuring out which one it

631
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,839
is is the is the challenge, I suppose, So maybe

632
00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:44,440
you just go team total and take it out of

633
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:44,839
the equation.

634
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,759
Speaker 3: You know what, That point you just made, Adam is

635
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:55,240
so true and comes up every day for guys betting games,

636
00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:01,960
and it's not situational, it's not fundamental. There's no quantifying

637
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,359
what kind of handicap that is. But any of us

638
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,119
that have done this for a long period of time

639
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,839
look at that set of games and just know there's

640
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,200
probably not two double digit favorite covers in those two games.

641
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: There's not.

642
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: If you want to take a chance and project which

643
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,440
one you think it's going to be. For myself, I

644
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,599
would think that it's back to back home games. I

645
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,839
said two or three times, I think they'll be fired up.

646
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,640
I think it would be the first game. I think

647
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,400
that's the game they come out with the momentum, and

648
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,720
then maybe if they blow this team out tonight, you

649
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:39,640
come back with a lackadaviable effort. On Saturday, Texas just

650
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,480
again to reiterate and I didn't see this coming how

651
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,839
good the offense could and would end up being, for

652
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,279
Sean Miller their second best offensive officiality team in the SEC,

653
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,519
which is saying something. But their last three games from

654
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,359
the field, they've shot fifty eight point three, fifty two

655
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,799
and sixty percent. The game you talked about Adam against

656
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,119
Kentucky where you thought they didn't play very well, and

657
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,039
they did. They were two for eighteen from three, eleven

658
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640
percent from three point land and still got to eighty points,

659
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,319
which is saying something. So you're only asking for eighty

660
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:18,279
one tonight at home against South Carolina.

661
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,079
Speaker 4: I think that's probably the safest way to go.

662
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's one of those ones too. You can

663
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:25,000
watch a little of the game.

664
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: If Bocatitis is getting comfy under there and he's able

665
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,319
to get what he wants and he's not in foul trouble,

666
00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:34,480
that Texas could run it up if he if conversely, though,

667
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,599
if you can somehow get him in foul trouble and

668
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:39,599
get him off the court, that's where you maybe try

669
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,880
to take a shot live betting South Carolina because there

670
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,640
is a big difference for Texas when he's effective and

671
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,640
he's on the court against when he's in fil trouble

672
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,680
and he's not there. So yeah, interesting game, mad Max.

673
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:54,000
Good luck with however you decide to play that one.

674
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: All right.

675
00:32:55,759 --> 00:32:58,759
Speaker 2: I told I promised Joey Cheese I'd hit this game,

676
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,440
and his comment made me so we're we're gonna give

677
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,000
him this one. He wants to talk Saint Bonaventure and

678
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,559
Dayton rob which is a which is an intriguing game

679
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,000
to me because you know, I live out here in

680
00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:14,559
Bonnie's Country, Central New York. I I I Saint Bonaventure

681
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,440
is west of here. Actually it's it's quite a bit.

682
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,640
It's not easy to get to.

683
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,759
Speaker 1: It's still like it.

684
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,319
Speaker 2: Even though it's not as far out as Buffalo, you

685
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,039
have to go quite a bit south, so it would

686
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:25,680
still take me like three and a half hours to

687
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,039
get to a Olien. There's no there's no direct route

688
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:30,640
from where I live either. It's a it is a

689
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,400
rough drive. But a lot of a lot of guys

690
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,640
in this area go to you know, went to Saint

691
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,599
Bonaventre and stuff like that. So uh, I've always you know,

692
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:40,960
we have Mallory's family has a bunch of people I

693
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,799
think her her one cousin is playing hockey there right now,

694
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,240
so some some Bonnie's in the family here. And you know,

695
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:52,359
this was a year that they were pretty excited about

696
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,319
this team right the whole.

697
00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like year or two of Woje. You know,

698
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,319
they're they're getting these.

699
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: Like NBA uh like team days in the offseason or

700
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,359
something like that. Whatever he got he drummed up there.

701
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,880
And you know, coming into the year, they had a

702
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,480
pretty good non conference, relatively good, and right now, Rob

703
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,440
the only team worse in the Atlantic ten is Yola Chicago,

704
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,039
who is having a historically bad season. So I almost

705
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:23,320
don't know what to make of that. It's like they

706
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,400
keep they keep finding themselves on the wrong end of

707
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,639
close games. Over the weekend, George Mason, that would have

708
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,000
been you know, that was a game they were right there,

709
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,920
eight point lead at halftime would have been a huge

710
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:35,559
win for them.

711
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: But they just can't get it done.

712
00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: You know, losing a close win to LaSalle earlier this year,

713
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,719
losing a close one to Saint Joe's earlier this year,

714
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,159
lost by four to Fordham. Those are all like one

715
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,039
possession games, right so we could be sitting here, things

716
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,760
could look a lot different if Saint Bonaventure was coming

717
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,760
on the right side of some of these one possession

718
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,280
games Dayton. On Friday night, I was at the Dayton

719
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,079
game they played Saint Louis. That game was over before

720
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,760
it started, and it wasn't It wasn't really Dayton's fault.

721
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,480
That's just how good this Saint Louis team is. That's

722
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:10,039
how good, that's how efficient Saint Louis's offense is. Where

723
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:13,480
it was like Dayton just had no chance, right, they

724
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:17,480
had no chance. Saint Louis. It is just an incredible

725
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:21,039
team this year. And so I don't even fault Dayton

726
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,320
for getting crushed and maybe as much as I would

727
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
in other years, because I think Saint Louis just has

728
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,519
an incredible team. So now, rob we have where I'm

729
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:32,320
at a little crossroads here for Joey Cheese, because on

730
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,559
one hand, Dayton should match up much better with the

731
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,360
Bonnies and this should be a much more favorable situation

732
00:35:38,519 --> 00:35:39,320
for them at home.

733
00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: On the other hand, Saint Bonaventure.

734
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,599
Speaker 2: Plays all these close games, So do you really want

735
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:47,760
to lay eight and a half nine against the Bonnies?

736
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,639
I don't know what do you think Saint Bonaventure Dayton,

737
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:51,800
Do you have anything on the total?

738
00:35:54,039 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 3: I could answer whether or not I want to lay

739
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,599
eight and a half in two capital letters.

740
00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 4: No, just no way. We went through the Dayton Saint

741
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Louis game that you were at.

742
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,039
Speaker 3: Friday morning on the show, and you know, the back

743
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:09,719
to back losses to LaSalle and Saint Joe's were concerning

744
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,719
to me. Anthony Grant has kind of lost contact with

745
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,079
this team. Then they lose the Rhode Island overtime, and

746
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:18,800
then the Saint Louis destruction happened. You could see it

747
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,000
coming from a mile away. Now you get back home,

748
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,960
can you regroup off a four game losing streak and

749
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:29,000
beat Saint Bonaventure? Answers probably yes. Are you going to

750
00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:31,639
beat him by nine or ten points? Answers probably no.

751
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,920
I mean, I don't want to bet either of these teams.

752
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,400
To tell you the truth, neither one. Saint Bonaventure has

753
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:43,239
absolutely lost. Mark Schmidt teams throughout his entire tenure at

754
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:48,400
Saint Bonaventure have been annually known as solid defensive ball clubs.

755
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 4: They don't defend it all. This year three hundred and

756
00:36:50,519 --> 00:36:54,119
second in the country against the three just not a

757
00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:56,440
good defensive team. They've lost their identity.

758
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,039
Speaker 3: Some games they score big, some games they don't score

759
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:01,719
at all. It's just it's a mixed mash of results

760
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,119
with Saint Bonnie. So I don't like them in almost

761
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:10,239
any circumstance. I don't like Dayton in any circumstance right now. Obviously,

762
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,599
Dayton's kind of the same thing. Lost their identity under

763
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:15,960
Anthony Grant.

764
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: When you have two teams that you view that way

765
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,360
at them and you see eight and a half points,

766
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,360
you probably take and the old in the old adage

767
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:24,679
gun to the head. What would you do?

768
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: I would take Saint Bonaventure plus eight and a half

769
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,960
because you can't trust Dayton at this point in time.

770
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:32,519
Speaker 4: They've won one game in Atlantic ten play. They've won

771
00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:33,480
one game by.

772
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: This margin all season long, and that was Loyola Chicago

773
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:42,000
and loyal to Chicago. They played them to a two

774
00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:44,239
point game and a twenty seven point win. But other

775
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,599
than that, there have been no wins by nine points

776
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,199
by dating inside this league.

777
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 4: So what makes you think they're going to do it tonight?

778
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:52,599
I don't know. Here.

779
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 3: Here's the problem mindset wise with Dayton. Did that one

780
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,239
oh two seventy one just absolutely brush their spirits. Did

781
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,760
that just tell this team that, you know what, we

782
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,320
had no shot this year. We're in this league, we're

783
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,400
looking uphill and dating a team that usually has expectations

784
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000
may have had them crushed by Saint Louis. Or does

785
00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:16,239
Anthony Grant get in that locker room and have this

786
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,840
team reset refocus? Listen, guys, the A ten tournaments in

787
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,400
a couple of weeks. We got to stack some wins here.

788
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,360
We're still five and four in league. We're not that

789
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,239
bad off, etc.

790
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 4: I don't know the answer to that question, but I

791
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,519
think it's an important question inside the locker room at

792
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:34,840
Saint Bonnie. Plus eight and a half probably is the

793
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,280
way to go.

794
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,039
Speaker 3: And as far as total is concerned, on my on

795
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:43,880
my card here the rotation card that I printed out,

796
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,639
I just put a red line through the game because

797
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,599
I don't know what kind of offensive and defensive results

798
00:38:49,679 --> 00:38:51,679
to expect from either of these teams on the given night.

799
00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 4: So no total. If I had to play, i'd be

800
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,280
on Saint Bonnie.

801
00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:00,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like in different years, I would say, oh this

802
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,880
is a great this is such a great spot for

803
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,519
Dayton at home, But like this is just not a

804
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:09,119
Daton team that I think is even remotely comparable to

805
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:11,119
some of the teams they've had in past years. Now,

806
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:14,199
on the flip side, like from if you're talking like

807
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,920
a mentality standpoint, I actually prefer the dayt inside here,

808
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,960
because I'll go back to that game was over so quickly,

809
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,679
Rob That game was over in the first half, okay,

810
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,400
And I think Anthony Grant, If I'm Anthony Grant, I'm

811
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,000
just like, hey, don't sweat this one. That is a

812
00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:33,159
that is an insanely good basketball team, and they just

813
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,800
dropped one hundred and two points on one of the

814
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,599
most efficient you know, the Saint Louis hit. They hit

815
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,440
sixty two point five percent of their shots from the

816
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,440
field and seventeen threes. They were seventeen for twenty eight

817
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,360
from three. If I'm Anthony Grant, I'm going in and saying,

818
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,119
forget about, forget about that game. Just get it out

819
00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:55,039
of your head. There's nothing we could have done there.

820
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,119
They hit seventeen threes, the ball movement was insane, every

821
00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:02,119
they did everything right, shot sixty three percent from the field,

822
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,079
Like you know, what do you what do you even

823
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:05,760
do right there?

824
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:07,599
Speaker 1: If you're Saint Bonaventure.

825
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 2: I almost feel like the result against George Mason is

826
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,719
is far worse, is far more crushing, because you had

827
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,280
your chance, in my opinion, to somewhat turn your season around.

828
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,679
Speaker 1: You had the road win over Ducane.

829
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,119
Speaker 2: Remember this is after the Bonnie's got destroyed in similar

830
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:27,599
fashion by Saint Louis, right, and that was arguably worse

831
00:40:27,639 --> 00:40:30,000
because that was in that was in Olian and they

832
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,760
had a sellout. They had they thought they were going

833
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,920
to pull the upset and they had no they were

834
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,679
They were down on arrival too, So you know, you

835
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,760
come in another huge home game over the weekend. Looking

836
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,880
at that game, Saint Bonaventure was only like a one

837
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,239
point underdog right the book the books were basically saying

838
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,599
like they they thought the Bonnie's had a pretty good

839
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:50,679
chance to win or could win that game. Do you

840
00:40:50,679 --> 00:40:52,360
have an eight point lead at halftime and you still

841
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,639
find a way to lose. So for me, you go

842
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,559
back to the defense. I really think, I really think

843
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,800
Saint Bonaventure thought that they would that they would be

844
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,280
a destination for some of the guys they got in

845
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,119
the portal the last couple of years, and it's been

846
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:09,239
a little bit of a rude awakening, like with guys

847
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,800
like Melvin Council only coming for a year and then

848
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:12,920
finding a better spot.

849
00:41:13,199 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

850
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: There's another one that.

851
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,559
Speaker 2: I think ended up on VCU right, Like, Uh, there's

852
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:19,840
a couple of guys that have come through this program

853
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:21,840
that I think they thought they were going to have

854
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,760
for multiple years and they it ended up being just

855
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,639
sort of a one a stop, have a good year,

856
00:41:27,679 --> 00:41:28,159
and then leave.

857
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: So I think that's hurt them obviously.

858
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,679
Speaker 2: I mean Melvin Council, rob right, imagine what I mean,

859
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,639
imagine having him look at what he's doing at Kansas now.

860
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,039
Speaker 1: So, man, this is tough.

861
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: I listen, Joey's usually not caught, Like if he's confident

862
00:41:45,559 --> 00:41:47,280
like this, I don't like to go against him because

863
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,480
he picks his spots well, so joe I I mean,

864
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:54,840
I hate to like spend this long on a game

865
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,719
and not really give a pick. But this is also

866
00:41:57,079 --> 00:41:59,159
the point of this show is to just try to

867
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,760
give different viewpoints and give you guys information. I saw

868
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,880
someone earlier said thank you guys, you helped me cash

869
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,039
with Boston, you and the Dune Cookman yesterday.

870
00:42:08,199 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: That that's really the goal.

871
00:42:11,159 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't have a definitive answer here, but dating at

872
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,079
home off of four straight losses having hung it up

873
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:19,840
in the first half of that game would not surprise

874
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,840
me if they win and potentially win comfortably. It's just

875
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,679
so hard to know where the heads are at for

876
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,280
these respective teams right now. So that's probably why it's

877
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:34,039
just a pass for me and then yeah, by you.

878
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,000
Sometimes the best play is no play. There's a lot

879
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,079
of really good there's a lot a lot of really

880
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:42,360
good games on the you know spots. But I'm not

881
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,079
gonna listen. If Joey loves the dayt inside, I can.

882
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:49,599
I can't talk them off. So so Joey, good luck

883
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:53,719
if you decide to play that one. All right, Rob,

884
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,760
I'll give you. I'll give you the right of refusal here,

885
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,039
all right. If you want to lock your parlay Legan,

886
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,559
go ahead. Otherwise, if you want another minute, I'll do mine.

887
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: It's up to you.

888
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,559
Speaker 2: It's your call. You're you're muted, though, so it's a

889
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:11,519
mystery to all of us. Still, I'm gonna let you

890
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:15,719
do your sirch all right, all right, I I'll do mine.

891
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,760
This is this is one of my client plays. This

892
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,880
is a four percenter for me. So I will I'm

893
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,280
gonna I'm gonna use this one. I'm gonna lay it

894
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,480
with Boise State tonight. Uh, they are at home. They

895
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,440
are at home against Nevada. Some of you guys are like,

896
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,320
of course you're gonna do that. You know, you went

897
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,440
against Nevada on Friday and and and took it on

898
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:42,480
the chin, got destroyed in that game. That is true,

899
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,840
But Rob, I think that some of that loss on

900
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,800
Friday had more to do with UNLV just being a

901
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,239
total uh disaster right now than it did Nevada being

902
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,119
like some you know team that I'm that I'm scared

903
00:43:57,119 --> 00:43:59,920
to bet against. You know, Boise State was a team

904
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:02,400
got to see in person last year. I went and saw,

905
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:05,760
I went to the pit in New Mexico, and they

906
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,960
got crushed in that game. And something I was, you know,

907
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:10,920
kind of picked up when I was there talking to

908
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,960
some people which made sense which was not fully on

909
00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:17,719
my radar prior to that trip, was Boise State really

910
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,320
lacks athletes like this team and it's been it's been

911
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,039
this way for a couple of years where they just

912
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:28,000
don't have like a super athletic team. Leon Rice seems

913
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:32,519
to build these teams where it's like they've got some shooters,

914
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,400
they're not. It's not that they can't be physical at times,

915
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,679
but they just don't have like like like crazy athletic teams,

916
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:43,079
and so in a matchup like you know, like New

917
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:45,639
Mexico or last year's New Mexico team or some of

918
00:44:45,679 --> 00:44:48,719
the more athletic teams in the league, it can hurt them.

919
00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:51,880
Nevada is not that team. And Nevada is not gonna

920
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,559
like punish you with athleticism. Nevada is not gonna, you know,

921
00:44:55,639 --> 00:44:57,360
take the ball, put it on the floor, drive it

922
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,480
down your throat and get to the rim. What they're

923
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,599
gonna do is just bomb threes. And they've done it

924
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:05,679
at a They've done it a very impressive clip this year.

925
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,480
Believe they come into play eleventh in the country shooting

926
00:45:08,519 --> 00:45:10,800
the three. Now, you go back to the first meeting

927
00:45:11,559 --> 00:45:14,639
and you might say, treg well, Nevada they won eighty

928
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:17,559
one to sixty six in that first meeting. That is true,

929
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,440
but that was also way back in December. It was

930
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,880
a home gate that was December twentieth. No, you know,

931
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,000
it's kind of in that kind of in that weird

932
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:30,119
part of the season where it's finals it's right before Christmas.

933
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:32,400
I don't even know why Mountain West is playing league

934
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,920
games on December twentieth. Someone's going to have to explain

935
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:37,480
that one. To me, that seems like an awful time

936
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:39,719
to have a league game when you basically have like

937
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,320
kids leaving for Christmas that Christmas break in a couple

938
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,480
of days. You know, Nevada only took ninth threes in

939
00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:49,119
that game, which is also surprising to me.

940
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: Thirty four file shots.

941
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,079
Speaker 2: You know, that's a game that I may have to

942
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:56,039
go back and look more into that, although I already

943
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:57,800
already played this, so I guess I'm not. I guess

944
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,440
I'll use my time to look at something else. Point

945
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,800
is this Nevada has to go on the road.

946
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,079
Speaker 1: Now.

947
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,039
Speaker 2: I tend to want to fade teams rob that are very,

948
00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:11,360
very three point reliant on the road. Okay, And I

949
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,639
also think Boise is the type of team that would

950
00:46:14,679 --> 00:46:17,480
prefer if you just stay on the perimeter and try

951
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,519
to shoot. I think it gives them a better chance defensively.

952
00:46:21,159 --> 00:46:23,760
And then you talk about like Boise at home, the

953
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,079
splits have been better and Bois should be able to

954
00:46:28,119 --> 00:46:30,800
run their offense here. So to me, this feels like

955
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,559
a game where maybe Nevada finally goes a little bit

956
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:35,920
cold from three, has a tougher shooting night.

957
00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, I.

958
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 2: Think Boise is actually the team that's pulling away in

959
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,400
the in the in the revenge meeting. So I laid

960
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,760
five and a half, you can actually get fives at

961
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,559
this point some places on Boise. I think we're I

962
00:46:48,599 --> 00:46:50,960
think we're looking at a double digit Bois win. This

963
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:52,599
is going to be a good night for the Broncos

964
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:53,079
in my opinion.

965
00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 4: Rob Veno, very nice. Yeah, I don't.

966
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 3: I don't hear much in there that I could disagree

967
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,199
with on the Boise state side against Nevada, and that

968
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:08,000
that conference again, that's one where you know, for the

969
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,519
most part, teams bash each other around. It's a it's

970
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:14,280
a tough conference to go through unblemished.

971
00:47:14,639 --> 00:47:17,159
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question real quick, Rob, Like,

972
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:20,639
because this is a league where typically you're paying a

973
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,400
massive tax for the home team, I don't feel like

974
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,360
I'm paying the tax here. I think I'm getting almost

975
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,039
a bargain on Boise at home relative to like what

976
00:47:28,119 --> 00:47:31,159
it would be if if Boise was considered this juggernaut

977
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:31,760
this year.

978
00:47:33,159 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 4: Very true, very true.

979
00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 3: Generally speaking, that Boise tax is higher than what we're

980
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,960
seeing here tonight, that's for sure. And some of that

981
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,559
could be in nevada recent play. I mean again, the

982
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:48,719
win over Grand Canyon of the night. We talked about

983
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,199
it at length, but Nevada has been playing pretty well

984
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:54,039
this season, so I guess a little combination of both.

985
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,760
Bois hasn't been up to expectations, Nevada has been a

986
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,760
little above expectations, et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, I

987
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,920
could see Boise that's a tough trip. We'll see how

988
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,719
Nevada handles it, but I can, honestly, I could see

989
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:08,519
that happening here.

990
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:09,599
Speaker 4: Let's go.

991
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 3: Well, I know, if I knew the exact status of

992
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,840
Rob Whaley, I would be on Kent State team game

993
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,679
over tonight. But I just don't know. And it's so hard.

994
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,039
As you were talking, I was trying to dig even

995
00:48:26,119 --> 00:48:28,320
further because I'm thinking, you know what, I want to

996
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,800
get these guys on Kent State, but I can't do

997
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,320
it until I know. Let's go ahead and take something

998
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,039
that I feel extremely confident in.

999
00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 4: We'll go back to A ten. Do I want to

1000
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,039
go there? I think I'd rather go back.

1001
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,119
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather go back to the Missouri Valley

1002
00:48:47,159 --> 00:48:50,000
because I've always got multiple choices when we come on.

1003
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 4: In the morning.

1004
00:48:52,039 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 3: But I'm going to go back to the Missouri Valley

1005
00:48:55,159 --> 00:48:57,000
and I'm going to take my shot here with Murrae

1006
00:48:57,079 --> 00:48:59,599
State team total over eighty one and a half, and

1007
00:48:59,639 --> 00:49:04,920
you know, I'm I'm a Belmont guy, right They absolutely

1008
00:49:05,039 --> 00:49:06,480
dismantled Murray State.

1009
00:49:06,639 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 4: You talk about the Saint Louis.

1010
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 3: Game with Dayton the other night, Dayton being dead on arrival,

1011
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,960
Murray State was dead on arrival and I.

1012
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: Was on them. I was on Murray in that game,

1013
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,800
and I yeah, that was twenty two to four right off.

1014
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 3: The rate from the outset and just the amount of

1015
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,039
players that Casey Alexander has on this. I mean, he

1016
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:32,800
went to a kid that's only played thirty six minutes

1017
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,039
all season long that absolutely walked out and shredded it

1018
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:38,639
from three that night. But everything was falling for Belmont,

1019
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,519
but they're that good. They played again without Sam orm

1020
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:46,559
without Nick McClain. You're not supposed to get away with

1021
00:49:46,599 --> 00:49:49,400
that if you're Belmont, that's two of your three best players.

1022
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,639
Speaker 4: But yet they still they're so deep.

1023
00:49:51,679 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 3: They're so good, Murray State, with their lack of defense,

1024
00:49:54,519 --> 00:49:56,639
just ran into a buzz so they couldn't overcome it.

1025
00:49:57,159 --> 00:49:59,280
As good as they are offensively, they couldn't overcome it.

1026
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,679
Tonight they're back, They're on a four game losing streak here,

1027
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,920
and they got to right the ship at some point

1028
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,559
in time. I'm not gonna trust them to go out

1029
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:14,320
and beat Illinois Chicago by margin. Although the money has

1030
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,000
come in fairly heavily on the Murray State side here,

1031
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,559
people expecting them to come back and bounce back to

1032
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:22,800
the formula they were playing about five games ago. And again,

1033
00:50:24,159 --> 00:50:26,960
we talk about this every single day, about these stretches

1034
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:31,880
in conference season, where yeah, you have these ruts. Vanderbilt

1035
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,800
had this rut right They're undefeated and get whacked me

1036
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,960
straight times. Turn it right around. I don't know that

1037
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,199
they'll cover the number, but I think they're gonna score again.

1038
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,480
It's what they do best. They just didn't have enough

1039
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,159
to overcome what Belmont was throwing at them the other night,

1040
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,639
and it became obvious after about the first ten minutes here.

1041
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,000
Oddsmaker is asking us to get over eighty one and

1042
00:50:54,039 --> 00:50:56,039
a half. In fact, I'm seeing some eighty two and

1043
00:50:56,079 --> 00:51:01,199
a half's now Adam Half is available. I don't know,

1044
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,559
we'll figure out fairness when we figure out the final

1045
00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:06,719
parlay at the end of the show. But I think

1046
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,079
there's a big bounce back here for Murray State. A

1047
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:11,840
team that scored eighty three against Illinois Chicago the first time.

1048
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,840
Addaillois Chicago, which is a good team in the Missouri

1049
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,000
Valley as well, going to be up and down. I

1050
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,679
think the number indicates to everybody that there's going to

1051
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,639
be a high scoring game. Both sides may get to eighty,

1052
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,599
but I think the one that definitely will get to

1053
00:51:25,639 --> 00:51:28,199
eighty is Murray State at home in this contest. So

1054
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,960
for me, it's really simple of a bounce back in

1055
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:35,440
I'm gonna call this like a sense.

1056
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 4: Of urgency play.

1057
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: If you're Murray State, it's a sense of urgency type

1058
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,840
game at home, in front of your home fans, to

1059
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,760
re establish yourselves. They're not good enough on the defensive

1060
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,760
end for me to recommend laying the points, although I

1061
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,679
wouldn't talk you off of it, but I do think

1062
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,920
if you're looking at scoring points, Murray State's the way

1063
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,960
to go here. So give me Murray State up.

1064
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 4: And over that team total of eighty one and a half.

1065
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 3: And I'll research it real quick here, Adam while we

1066
00:51:59,519 --> 00:52:02,480
move on, just to make sure that eighty one and

1067
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:07,360
a half is available in multiple spots, so that so

1068
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,039
that we can use that in the parla if it

1069
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:10,599
happens to be eighty two and a half, I'm not

1070
00:52:10,639 --> 00:52:11,800
afraid of that number either.

1071
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Murray State minus six is very much on my

1072
00:52:17,039 --> 00:52:19,360
short list for a lot of the reasons that you

1073
00:52:19,519 --> 00:52:23,159
just said. Also, I guess you could say there's an

1074
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:27,280
element of being a little bit stubborn as well. That

1075
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,880
six is probably rogue at this point. I see Caesars

1076
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,639
is at six, but a lot of these other places

1077
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,639
six and a half. I even see some sevens at

1078
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:37,239
this point. Although it looks and you know, it looks

1079
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,119
like the sevens are at some of the Sharper books,

1080
00:52:39,119 --> 00:52:42,079
So do what you will with that. It seems like

1081
00:52:42,119 --> 00:52:45,480
some of the Sharper spots are like trying to attract

1082
00:52:45,559 --> 00:52:50,079
some of that Illinois Chicago bunny. What that tells you

1083
00:52:50,159 --> 00:52:52,599
is they probably think Murray State can smash as well.

1084
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,440
It's definitely rob a sell kind of like Illinois Chicago's

1085
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,400
probably due for a loss Murray States do for a

1086
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,199
win type spot. Illinois Chicago has been way better than

1087
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:08,119
anyone could have ever imagined they would be in Valley

1088
00:53:08,159 --> 00:53:11,480
Play so far this year, Whereas, like Murray State, they

1089
00:53:11,559 --> 00:53:14,000
just got to figure it out offensively. If they can

1090
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,760
come out and get their offense back and check, they're

1091
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,239
gonna win this game by double digits. The problem is

1092
00:53:19,559 --> 00:53:22,280
they have been on a stretch where their defense has

1093
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,480
been horrific and they also can't make a shot. Not

1094
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:28,320
a great combo if you're playing, you know, not a

1095
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,880
great combination for trying to win basketball games is when

1096
00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:34,000
you're in an offensive ruck and a defensive ruck at

1097
00:53:34,039 --> 00:53:36,719
the same time, and you certainly can't get away with that.

1098
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,960
Against Belmont, you're just not gonna get away with that.

1099
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,719
And in this league, Rob this is like, you know,

1100
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,320
you're not gonna get away with that against the better

1101
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,840
teams in this league. You might get away with it

1102
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,519
at home against Illinois Chicago. But if Murray States can

1103
00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:54,880
somehow get their offense back to functional status, I'd be

1104
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,639
really surprised if this isn't a this isn't a like

1105
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:01,079
a double digit margin game. So I'm with you if

1106
00:54:01,079 --> 00:54:04,400
that happens, you're probably gonna get the team total over.

1107
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,599
Speaker 4: And guys, as bad as Saturday was at Belmont, Murray

1108
00:54:09,639 --> 00:54:14,000
State found their way to eighty six and we're looking.

1109
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 3: I'm just looking here, Adam, and fairness to the to

1110
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,239
the chat. I know everybody doesn't have the available outlets

1111
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,519
that a lot of us have, but it looks like

1112
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:26,519
that there's more eighty two and a halves out there

1113
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,039
than eighty one and a halves.

1114
00:54:28,039 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 4: Again, if you can shop it, get the eighty one

1115
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,679
and a half. But for parlay use on the show,

1116
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,280
I'm gonna go with eighty two and a half to

1117
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:34,840
be fair.

1118
00:54:34,679 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 2: Here, all right, Yeah, I'll go with Bois minus five

1119
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,000
and a half, even though you can get some vibes

1120
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:42,800
out there as well.

1121
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,039
Speaker 1: Rob, we have five minutes left. Let's get one more in.

1122
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,519
Speaker 2: I'm gonna really quickly, all right, Let's let's just get

1123
00:54:50,599 --> 00:54:51,440
let's go random here.

1124
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: I saw two people ask about this game.

1125
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,519
Speaker 2: Darryl Turner says, anyone like Tennessee Martin to cover or

1126
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:01,000
the other side tonight with little Rock, So let's talk

1127
00:55:01,039 --> 00:55:03,440
some Ohio Valley real quick to close out the show.

1128
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,400
I was at Tennessee Martin's game on Thursday. They were

1129
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,679
impressive as I expected them to be.

1130
00:55:10,519 --> 00:55:11,639
Speaker 1: They are. You know.

1131
00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 2: The thing with Tennessee Martin though, and even though I

1132
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,880
just said that they were impressive, they were in the

1133
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,239
second half, not so much the first half. I think

1134
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,719
that they're quite inflated on the number based on what

1135
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,519
they were, what they did in the non conference.

1136
00:55:29,199 --> 00:55:32,079
Speaker 1: Right, they had Rob correct me if I'm wrong. They

1137
00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:32,840
beat UNLV.

1138
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,639
Speaker 2: I think they played Bradley tight, might have might have

1139
00:55:35,679 --> 00:55:38,400
had a couple of good wins there, covered against the

1140
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,519
power conference team, and suddenly Tennessee Martin was everyone's favorite team. Yeah,

1141
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:45,400
they won against UNLV, they beat Bradley, they covered against

1142
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:50,840
Florida State. So in this league they're still probably the

1143
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,320
best team. They're nine and two. I think you could

1144
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,880
argue that Tennessee State might be might be better than them.

1145
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,679
We'll see about that. But listen, they're nine and two.

1146
00:55:59,039 --> 00:56:01,360
They haven't lost a home game all year. They're nine

1147
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,039
to zero at home.

1148
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,119
Speaker 1: Rob. Coming into the year, I thought Little Rock was

1149
00:56:05,159 --> 00:56:07,800
gonna be the best team in this league. I was.

1150
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,159
Speaker 2: I was pretty confident of that, and you know, they

1151
00:56:11,199 --> 00:56:15,360
had a couple injuries. Gat keck Im not even gonna

1152
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,760
try to pronounce his name. He was out for a

1153
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,760
stretch of non conference play, and he really is the

1154
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,360
anchor to their zone. So you know, they had a run.

1155
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,679
Little Rock had a run where they were just really bad.

1156
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,880
Tung attached gat Keck. I mean, what do I even

1157
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,639
do with that Rob? How am I supposed to pronounce

1158
00:56:33,679 --> 00:56:34,039
that name?

1159
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: Anyway? Little Rock over the weekend kind of like kind

1160
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,880
of choked a couple of games away the Tennessee State.

1161
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,119
You know, that would have been a really good win

1162
00:56:44,199 --> 00:56:45,639
for Little Rock at Tennessee State.

1163
00:56:45,679 --> 00:56:48,079
Speaker 2: They choked that one away at the end, and then

1164
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:50,719
they turned around and lost to Tennessee Tech. Now, some

1165
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,480
of the some of this league you have to take

1166
00:56:52,519 --> 00:56:54,119
with a grain of salt right now, because these guys

1167
00:56:54,159 --> 00:56:56,960
are all in that Tennessee region that's gotten crushed with weather.

1168
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,760
A lot of these games have gotten moved around, a

1169
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,239
lot of these games have gotten rescheduled. So this is

1170
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,840
gonna be Little Rock's fourth straight road.

1171
00:57:04,639 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 1: Game right here.

1172
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 2: But Tennessee Martin kind of had two easy ones last

1173
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,360
week Eastern Illinois, and then they got to play the

1174
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,519
worst team in this league, Western Illinois over the weekend,

1175
00:57:13,559 --> 00:57:16,840
where I think they won by a huge margin, so

1176
00:57:18,199 --> 00:57:20,760
current right, Like I kind of lead Little Rock as

1177
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,239
a dog. I wouldn't be surprised if Little Rock found

1178
00:57:23,239 --> 00:57:25,800
a way to win this game. Do you have anything

1179
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,440
on the total and what do you think about maybe

1180
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,119
a live dog with Little Rock here?

1181
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, money certainly thinks so early on Adam pushed down

1182
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,760
towards Little Rock. I would side with the total under

1183
00:57:38,119 --> 00:57:41,719
in this game Tennessee. Ut Martin has been great inside

1184
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,079
this conference defensively.

1185
00:57:43,679 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 4: Little Rock. For what it's worth, I've said it a

1186
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,480
few times this season.

1187
00:57:47,199 --> 00:57:52,039
Speaker 3: Although it's not one hundred percent correct anymore close, but

1188
00:57:52,119 --> 00:57:54,599
not one hundred percent correct that Arkansas Little Rock is

1189
00:57:54,639 --> 00:57:58,719
a team that can't shoot straight. I never trust them

1190
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,239
off of a real strong offensive performance to come back

1191
00:58:02,239 --> 00:58:04,199
and put them together back to back. Just go through

1192
00:58:04,199 --> 00:58:07,280
their game logs this season again, you'll probably find that out.

1193
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,800
But they shot better than fifty percent in their most

1194
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,599
recent game, and now they're going to play the number

1195
00:58:11,639 --> 00:58:15,159
one defense inside the league. So I think Little Rock

1196
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:18,400
will have to work on the defensive end. Ut Martin's

1197
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,719
strength is the is the defense that's their anchor. So

1198
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,079
I saw one thirty seven. I think Adam in this

1199
00:58:24,199 --> 00:58:26,519
game this morning, at least it's what I've written and

1200
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:27,639
my notes one thirty seven.

1201
00:58:28,039 --> 00:58:29,679
Speaker 4: I could check it real quick here, but I think

1202
00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:30,440
it stays under.

1203
00:58:30,679 --> 00:58:33,599
Speaker 3: I think you're looking at a game that probably falls

1204
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:36,639
in the you know, sixty eight sixty five. There's not

1205
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:38,559
a ton of wiggled room. But I would lean under

1206
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,559
in that contest between these two.

1207
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,679
Speaker 1: I think there's some correlation there. Rob.

1208
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: I think if if Little Rock covers, it's one hundred

1209
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:49,239
percent going to be under, because they they really need

1210
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,320
to sort of, you know, make their their hay if

1211
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,360
you will, at at the defensive end right.

1212
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: Like they have to.

1213
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,159
Speaker 2: They've got that one to three to one with gat Kek,

1214
00:58:57,239 --> 00:59:01,679
and they think when that is is working appropriately, they're

1215
00:59:01,719 --> 00:59:03,480
gonna be in games. But they're gonna be in games

1216
00:59:03,519 --> 00:59:06,920
because they're good defensively, and then maybe they're gonna hit

1217
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,800
some threes and it's gonna be like a little bit

1218
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,519
disjointed offensively, but they're gonna hit some threes. So I

1219
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,840
agree with the move from eight to six and a half,

1220
00:59:15,039 --> 00:59:17,400
and I very much agree that if Little Rock is

1221
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:21,079
gonna cover that six and a half, it's likely staying under.

1222
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,679
And then the final layer of this, Rob, All these

1223
00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:27,119
teams have been the weather has been so bad. Games canceled,

1224
00:59:27,159 --> 00:59:30,800
practice is canceled. No power in that part of the country,

1225
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:34,360
probably not ideal for staying in rhythm, right, Like their

1226
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,639
schedules have been totally altered. That might might play into

1227
00:59:37,639 --> 00:59:43,519
the under as well. All right, we're right at the wire. Like,

1228
00:59:44,079 --> 00:59:47,360
let's recap the parlay very quickly. Robino is going with

1229
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,039
the Murray State team total over eighty two and a half.

1230
00:59:51,679 --> 00:59:54,280
I'm gonna go with Boise State spread minus five and

1231
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,199
a half. Rob, It would put us back to even

1232
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,800
if we can hit this two team or tonight. If

1233
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,960
you're looking for all of our I gave one of

1234
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,119
my client plays out, I'm gonna have probably at least

1235
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:07,639
three in addition to everything Rob has. We've got that package,

1236
01:00:07,639 --> 01:00:10,599
