1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Let's see.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,519
Speaker 2: Come on, all right, there we go. Welcome in. It's Monday.

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 3: I am running on a little sleep in a lot

4
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,279
of caffeine, so I'm ready to go. Second week of

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,960
the show. I was with Brian Power all weekend. Brian,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,760
how's your weekend?

7
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 4: It was very good. We watched three basketball games together

8
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:24,320
and in person in the building. All three went under.

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,519
True to form, I think there was my power was

10
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:30,480
on full display in that Bowling Green lamoying game. Where

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,159
else would we be out of afternoon while there's NFL

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,119
going on, and then Bowling Green taking on Lamoy There

13
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:38,799
were getting a lot of balls just you know, in

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,039
and out, a lot of in and out jumpers.

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,759
Speaker 2: It is the right you know. I know Rob has

16
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:45,600
followed this now.

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't get enough publicity the run that like when

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,399
Brian goes to a game, it just goes under.

19
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: And it's been going for like years now.

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,159
Speaker 3: It's gotta be like it's gotta be like twenty something

21
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:58,880
out of the last like twenty five.

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,799
Speaker 2: It's something crazy, you know it is.

23
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:03,439
Speaker 4: So I have to so I felt bad because we're talking.

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,920
Of course I hadn't looked it up. I have to

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,079
go back. But when it comes to college basketball. I

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,840
legitimately think every single game I've gone to you, I've

27
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,159
gone with you, has stayed under. I can't think of

28
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,959
a single game that I've gone with you that has

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,200
not stayed under the total that.

30
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: The only one that's gone over was the one Ralph.

31
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the one I went. I went with Ralph,

32
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:24,079
went with Ralph and Jeff Bichaels to a Cleveland State

33
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,840
game and it looked like it was going to be

34
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,159
an easy under and then all of a sudden there

35
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,280
was a three point barrage late. So yeah, that was

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,159
It was a great weekend. Tregan. Uh, you are a

37
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,280
trooper for doing this show. I know nothing could keep

38
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,599
you from doing the show. But this man, ladies and gentlemen,

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,159
please pour one out for him. Give him a round

40
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:44,599
of applause. This man's been on the road for twenty

41
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,879
of I believe there was there was a thirty six

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,280
hour stretch where Adam Trigger was behind the wheel for

43
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,280
twenty of them. I think. So that's a yeoman's effort.

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,079
Speaker 2: All right, let's get Rob Vino in here. Rob, how

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:55,760
was your weekend?

46
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:57,599
Speaker 1: It was good, guys.

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,799
Speaker 5: Obviously we're at that point where my head is just

48
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,079
on a swivel. College football, NFL football, NBA, college basketball.

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,199
Speaker 1: It's nuts, guys.

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: And again I've said it before, but credit to those

51
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,039
guys who take on hockey as well.

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Brian. I don't know if you do hockey, but dear Lord,

53
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:17,120
it's too much.

54
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 5: It's too much the college basketball guys, which is what

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
we're here to talk about. First week of the show

56
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,759
was good. First week for me was good, seven and three,

57
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,759
first ten out of the box. Cash won last night

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,879
with a total play over. You know, these games they

59
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
run together and I forget what I even had the

60
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,560
game was over. Oh it was the Florida Atlantic Liberty game,

61
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:43,000
which there were some weird situations. I don't know that

62
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,879
we want to rehash and recap too too much, but

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,599
there were so many back to backs over the course

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,159
of this weekend. I mean, we laughed about chat having

65
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:55,400
to go to Maraga to play Saint Mary's, but then

66
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,560
they're on a plane the next day to UNLV, So

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,439
it was kind of a crazy weekend.

68
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,719
Speaker 1: You could appaalize on some of those back to backs.

69
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:03,919
It's been a good first week overall.

70
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: And stay tuned because I think I guess that you

71
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,439
guys have this circle as well. There is a team

72
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:14,639
on today tonight's slate that my eyes just bulged out

73
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,240
of their head when I saw what the schedule makers

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
are asking them to do up And I guess kind

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,039
of both your guys Neck of the Woods, so to speak,

76
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:24,280
a lot closer than to me.

77
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, So for me personally week one, I think I

78
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,080
went like five and seven or something like that. And honestly,

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,879
I was telling Brian, I've I've kept it pretty small,

80
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,520
haven't played anything bigger than a three percent.

81
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to kind of sort of battle it.

82
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: There's a couple spots I have circled this week that

83
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:43,879
I could potentially bumped up to four, but not really

84
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,280
worried about that, on the wrong side of some late

85
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,319
game variants, couple of like half point losses and stuff.

86
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: So we'll live with it.

87
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,879
Speaker 3: But before we get into it, I'll go back to you, Brian,

88
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,360
after this, it's worth noting that the parlay for the

89
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,800
show has done very well. Yes, I was about to

90
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,120
bring season last week. Three parlay winners on the show

91
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:07,000
in five days. So if you're keeping track at home,

92
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:08,840
which we are, because we're going to keep track all

93
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,560
season that's plus fifteen point two two units, or if

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
you were to play them equally for every dollar you've played,

95
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,879
plus fifteen dollars and twenty two cents.

96
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,639
Speaker 2: So a great, great start to the Full Court Press show.

97
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,639
Speaker 3: And Brian, before we get into it, I'll go to

98
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,040
you if you want to add one more thing.

99
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Rubber guys, those are obviously there's three of us.

100
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,319
So those are three leg parlays, and we hit three

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,079
in the first four days, and we almost hit four

102
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,399
in the first five days. But I apologize Robin Adam,

103
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,240
let you guys down. I was the only one to

104
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:44,199
lose the leg on Friday with Furman, So yeah, they

105
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,839
came back and it was close. I mean, we were

106
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:49,360
this close to a first week with you know, having

107
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,040
winning four to three team parlays in five days, which

108
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,120
had been quite a think. But hey, if we hit

109
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,639
three of these things every week, I think we'll be

110
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,720
sitting pretty come March.

111
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were really if we can hit one a week,

112
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,000
but you know, we're we're gonna get into it a

113
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
little bit longer intro today, but uh, we're I think

114
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,800
I pulled in at one a m And battled a

115
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,240
snow store so UHU.

116
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:14,639
Speaker 2: We'll we'll we'll go out right up to eleven.

117
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:16,079
Speaker 3: And you know what, there's not as many games today,

118
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:17,639
so we'll get to as many as we possibly can.

119
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:18,639
Speaker 2: But we are going to start.

120
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: Uh let's start with I guess what would be the

121
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,079
feature matchup of the night. Brian and I had a

122
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,319
discussion as to what the feature game was, but I ultimately,

123
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,160
I guess cooler heads prevailed. Brian and I decided to

124
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,519
go with Iowa State Mississippi State.

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,959
Speaker 2: It is your it is your ranked team against a

126
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,720
respectable team. I would say, I want to.

127
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,519
Speaker 4: I'm laughing and Rob's obviously laughing because we we both

128
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,800
know what what what how you could manipulate you manipulate

129
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,480
what qualifies the game of the day. Like Rob, he's

130
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,319
yelling in the car last like, you know, I don't

131
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,759
care what anyone says. You and see Wilmington Kent State's

132
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:56,920
the most interesting game on this late and I'm like,

133
00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,399
we should probably do Iowa State Mississippi State first.

134
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,759
Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna go, We're gonna go with the

135
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:03,560
co feature. We're gonna do both of those, but we're

136
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,079
gonna go. We'll start with Iowa State. So Rob, I'll

137
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,160
let you start this one off. For me, the number

138
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,079
five and a half, I felt like it was fair

139
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
and ultimately, like, I guess I'll start this one off

140
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
because I really don't have much to say other than

141
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:21,240
I like Iowa State's defense. I think Mississippi State has

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,519
some redeeming qualities, but I don't know that I would

143
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,759
want to go against Iowa State with this Mississippissippy State

144
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,439
team knowing like what I think they can do defensively,

145
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,680
and then at this number which has no value. So

146
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,759
that's kind of where I landed on this one. But

147
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,120
I'll go to you to start digging into this game.

148
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a little quick background here both of these teams.

149
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,399
First of all, let's just start with It's a neutral

150
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:47,800
floor right the Pentagon in South Dakota where they play

151
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,319
the Summit Tournament. So it's probably a little more fan

152
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,240
friendly to the Cyclones of Iowa State for sure than

153
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,480
it is to Mississippi State. Starkville to the Sanford Hennagon

154
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,720
doesn't sound like a fun road trip.

155
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: It's one of the details a few travel miles.

156
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,839
Speaker 5: I want to start with Iowa State just because I

157
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,319
was a huge, huge fan of that team.

158
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Last year, and it's kind of.

159
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,319
Speaker 5: A shame the way injuries broke them down at the end,

160
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,480
and they still fought to the bitter end in the tournament,

161
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,600
wound up losing, but the backcourt of Lipsey and Gilbert,

162
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:25,920
just the injuries mounted and they couldn't overcome it. But

163
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,439
to bring back your own big three to your tea,

164
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,920
I mean, and most teams have to go to the

165
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,519
portal to form a big three.

166
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,279
Speaker 1: You bring back Lipsy, you bring.

167
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,879
Speaker 5: Back Mamsilovich, Joshua Jefferson. Those three guys all huge parts

168
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,439
last year. All three played different roles too. I mean,

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,839
Lipsey the lightning past point guard. I'm Silovich the three

170
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:48,959
point marksman. Jefferson your interior guy.

171
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:49,879
Speaker 1: For what it's worth.

172
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: Tj Otzenberger, the head coach of Iowa State, said that

173
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Jefferson spent a lot of time this year trying to

174
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,560
get bigger and stronger. Because if there's one concern I

175
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:02,560
have for Iowa State in this game, it would be

176
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,959
on the boards. I thought Mississippi State's probably a better

177
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,639
rebounding team. And when you play for Chris Jans, it's

178
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,480
probably if you have an hour practice, forty five minutes

179
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,879
has probably spent on rebounding in box outs. So for

180
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,399
Iowa State, huge amount of talent, huge amount of scoring

181
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:24,480
ability pace. If you look at the first two games

182
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,480
from both of these teams, no surprise, they're both gonna

183
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:28,000
go quick.

184
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: It's amazing that. I think one of them is like

185
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:32,320
eighty third in the.

186
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: Country shooting the ball every fifteen points something seconds. And

187
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,600
that's how fast college basketball has gotten. Two very very

188
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,679
quick teams want to get out into the open floor.

189
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,000
For Iowa State, they added a couple of a couple

190
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,440
of freshmen here. Jamario Bateman's the big news supposedly, but

191
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,679
Killie and Torre has put up more minutes so far.

192
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,159
So you got a pair of really really solid freshmen.

193
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,960
And at Utah Valley State guard I'll make Adam happy here.

194
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Utah Valley State guard Dominic Nelson, top player for that

195
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:02,600
team last.

196
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: Year, which was a really good team.

197
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 5: They're so well balanced guys. Like I say, the only

198
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,240
concern I have with them is rebounding. I look at

199
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,120
the other side and I know Mississippi State should be

200
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:15,279
a year better. I know Mississippi State's gone through the

201
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,600
portal and gotten some.

202
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Help.

203
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,639
Speaker 5: And I also know that Mississippi State like Iowa State.

204
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,279
I think Iowa States even h I think i was State.

205
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,360
Seven of the top eight in the rotation are upper class.

206
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,960
For the Mississippi State side, six of the top eight

207
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:35,000
are upper class and five or seniors. So it's interesting

208
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,679
to find such veteran laden teams facing off against one another.

209
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,639
But I still I think we saw it in game one.

210
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:45,360
They're so heavily dependent on Josh Hubbard.

211
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Guys. You know, Adam talked about.

212
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 5: Iowa State defense, and I think that defense is going

213
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,000
to have to come from the backcourt here. I don't

214
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,519
know that you can stop Josh Hubbard, but as Chris

215
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:56,759
Berman you used to say, you could try to contain them,

216
00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:59,120
and maybe Iowa State has enough pieces to throw at

217
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,360
him to try and contain him.

218
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,639
Speaker 1: Here.

219
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 5: The one thing that's surprised me. I'm going to get

220
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,679
off of the side for a minute here and talk

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,759
about the total. I was a little surprised, guys. This

222
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,840
total came down open fifty three down to fifty and

223
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,759
a half. With the pace that the game's going to

224
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,440
be played at. Again, it's a neutral site, maybe there's

225
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,000
something there.

226
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: I look for. Injury.

227
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 5: There are no injuries so obviously the market, the early market,

228
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,720
believes that it's going to be a lower scoring game.

229
00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:29,759
Speaker 1: Therefore, I have no play on this one.

230
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: If you're gonna ask both of these sides to get

231
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,200
this seventy five, I don't know that that's unreasonable to me.

232
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:40,000
A seventy eight seventy three game is more than capable

233
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:40,559
in this one.

234
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:41,919
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.

235
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 5: But for me, if Mississippi State's gonna win, it's because

236
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:47,679
they crushed the boards. Otherwise, I think Iowa State is

237
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:49,679
ticketed for a really, really solid season.

238
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm probably a win here.

239
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, do you if you don't, do you have

240
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:00,279
any Yeah?

241
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,519
Speaker 4: No, no, I was gonna say so. I was. I was

242
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:05,399
very interested because I know Rob, you know, talks about

243
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,840
the team totals a lot, and I actually think Mississippi

244
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,480
State might struggle to sport. But my concern with the

245
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:17,679
Mississippi State side is year in year out, their struggles

246
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,919
to shoot the three, and I think that could come

247
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,440
back to bite them here. Remember this is a team

248
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,399
that was trailing North Alabama r late last time out.

249
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:30,000
You know that they were now nine as a matter

250
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,799
of fact, in the second half of that game. I

251
00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:37,279
think that's going to ultimately be Mississippi State's undoing. Here

252
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:40,200
I'll tell you is in terms of the rob mentioned

253
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,519
the driver or the trip from Starkville to Sue Falls

254
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,039
not being a great I've made the drive from Sue

255
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,039
Falls to Aims. It's not drive. I would recommend that

256
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,840
he would make any one of the most boring drives

257
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,159
you can make in the United States of America. But

258
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,799
I'll say this Mississippi State team total under seventy two

259
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,720
and a half is how I would look to play this.

260
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:03,320
I just think missisippis a year and year out. You

261
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,639
look at the stats, this has not been a good

262
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,320
three point shooting team under Jams Trigg, So I think

263
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:10,840
that's their undoing. Without that three point shooting, I don't

264
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:12,519
know if they can get to this number in a

265
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,440
Marquee game, especially after you know it was not easy

266
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,120
with North Alabama last time. So that's why I would

267
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,679
go h for this feature matchup.

268
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I kind of just threw my thoughts

269
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,639
out early on. I would have given Iowa State obviously

270
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,559
a much bigger bump if they were playing at Hilton Coliseum.

271
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: They are not.

272
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: It's a neutral I felt like the number was right on,

273
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,639
and that's that's where I'm I'm kind of at I.

274
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,000
As much as I like to make cases for underdogs

275
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:41,480
Mississippi State, I just don't trust their you know, offensive

276
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:44,600
ability at this point against and I was eight team

277
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,840
that we know TJ's always got a good defense, and

278
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720
I just feel like that would be the reason the

279
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:51,600
game gets out of hand. So let's let's do it.

280
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,879
Let's go co co main event today.

281
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:54,639
Speaker 1: Okay.

282
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:56,799
Speaker 4: I would say that you bring up the other good

283
00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:58,679
point of the equation. Obviously, you know, we talk about

284
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,320
a team that can't shoot the three Walter playing a

285
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,600
team that's bad defensively. Maybe that doesn't matter in this

286
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,960
particular instance. They're facing a team that year in year

287
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,799
out is very good defense, always got Yeah. So Mississippi State,

288
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:09,639
I think is gonna struggle from the outside of this game.

289
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, always good defensively.

290
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,519
Speaker 3: So I'll move it on and I'll talk about and

291
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240
then kick it to you guys. The game I was

292
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,600
going to make the feature, and the reason I was

293
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,440
going to make it the feature, it's it's probably not

294
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,120
I don't think it's on a main network, But I

295
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,159
think you have a team that's got a really good

296
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,200
chance to contend in the MAC that's Brian Powers Conference,

297
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,320
the Mid American where we were in mac venues all weekend,

298
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,840
and then UNC Wilmington, who I think is is likely

299
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,399
probably should be the fit. Well, we had this discussion

300
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,919
in the car Brian maybe UNC Wilmington Towson are like

301
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,200
the two favorites in the Coastal but nonetheless a very

302
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,360
very good Wilmington team and a very interesting matchup to

303
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:49,919
me here for a couple of reasons.

304
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:51,759
Speaker 2: So Kent State.

305
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:54,919
Speaker 3: So first of all, if you were a box score watching,

306
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,480
you would have saw Kent State playing NBA calib like

307
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,120
one hundred points. I think they gave up one hundred

308
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:04,679
plus in both games. Scored one ten in one of

309
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,240
those games against Cornell. We'll see what if Rob has

310
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:11,679
anything on the total here, but something I heard Rob Senderoff,

311
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:15,559
Kent State longtime head coach, talking about being very very

312
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,679
upset with how the defense is played in the first

313
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,000
two games. Now it's worth pointing out that, like that's

314
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:24,080
the type of game you're going to get against Cornell,

315
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,240
and they won that game. So I think, you know,

316
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,039
maybe the defense maybe deserves a little bit of a

317
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:31,159
pass because that's just like Cornell is just gonna press

318
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,200
all game. It's going to be back and forth like that.

319
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,159
A one ten to one oh two final against a

320
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,759
team like Cornell is is not.

321
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: Not that crazy.

322
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: But I know the overtime loss to Troy, I believe

323
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,639
is how they open their season. He was pretty upset

324
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:49,000
with the defensive effort in that game. So a couple things,

325
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,120
and I'll let you guys weigh in on this. First thing, Brian,

326
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:53,559
you know, we went to Kent State a couple of

327
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:56,919
years ago and it was during this stretch where they

328
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,159
never lost at home ever. I mean, they had like

329
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,240
one of the longest home court I believed one of

330
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,440
the games we went to was part of this like

331
00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:07,000
crazy home court winning streak that they had. And of

332
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,080
course they have DJ Smills up there on the on

333
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,200
the top doing the in house DJ.

334
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: One of the best in the country.

335
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,679
Speaker 3: But what I think about Kent State, like the last

336
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,279
couple of years, as they've taken a step back really

337
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,799
since the team like with since here Carry and the

338
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,399
tournament team, you know, they've been a little bit more

339
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,120
vulnerable at home. And I have to wonder if like

340
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,759
that big win streak was just because they had really

341
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:33,039
good teams for a few years. I think Kent State

342
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,039
maybe gets bumped up a little.

343
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,879
Speaker 2: Too much for these for being at home.

344
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,279
Speaker 3: And then we went to two mac venues over the

345
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,799
weekend where the crowds weren't that great, and it's like,

346
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,159
I don't know if Kent State's going to be packed

347
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,559
here tonight. So when I see this go to two

348
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,159
and a half and I see them start to get

349
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,600
credit for home court, makes me want to play back

350
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:54,320
at this little I'm at Wilmington minus one right here.

351
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,039
The other thing I want to point out is Jamal

352
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:59,320
Sumlan for Kent State is out for the year. He

353
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,200
got hurt in p Act. He's done for the year.

354
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,960
He was one of their big sort of returning players.

355
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,320
So you know what I'll be looking at is a

356
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:07,840
couple of things.

357
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: C J.

358
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,639
Speaker 3: Luster did not play in the opener for Wilmington. He's

359
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,360
the guy that transferred for transferred from Stony Brook to Wilmington.

360
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,440
So what you have going on here right now is

361
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,080
a Wilmington team that's basically a Coastal Coastal Association All

362
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Star team. They pretty much picked off like the best

363
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,039
player from everyone else's roster CJ. Luster from Stony Brook,

364
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:32,840
Jonathan Lamont comes over from NCA and Team Madison Durr

365
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,799
from mom myth They got all these guys that were

366
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:37,720
really good on other teams in this league. Two of

367
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:39,960
them did not play in the opener, and that's something

368
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,919
I'll be tracking throughout the day. If Wilmington's got their

369
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,879
full team here, I think they should be favored and

370
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:46,799
they're probably going to be an underdog. So this is

371
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,960
a side. The Wilmington side is what I would look

372
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,840
at in this one. Sorry, a little bit long winded,

373
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,000
but you know, wanted to get that out there because

374
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,399
they have a.

375
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Pretty strong lean toward Wilmington. We'll go to BP.

376
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,279
Speaker 4: I don't know what's a make well obviously the one

377
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,879
data point we have. I don't know how much you

378
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:06,440
can take away from that, so I'm staying away from

379
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,519
the side. Kent. You mentioned the the highest scoring affairs

380
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:11,839
they've had to start the year, Trig two of them.

381
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:16,759
Just to uh put numbers, uh, you know, out for everybody.

382
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,799
They lose to Troy one oh three ninety seven. Yes

383
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:21,440
that was an overtime game, was eighty seven eighty seven

384
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,160
at the end of regulation. So It's not like a

385
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,559
situation where the game only went over because of overtime.

386
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,079
It had already gone way over the total. As a

387
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:30,799
matter of fact, for that game closed one forty two

388
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,759
and a half. The Cornell game, obviously a wild one

389
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:36,839
one o two was the final score that had a

390
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,480
total of one sixty five and a half. So they

391
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,480
have flown over the total in their first two games.

392
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,160
And you know me, Trig I all, I generally want

393
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,319
to punch back on something like that. This is something

394
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,039
I you know, part of me wishes we were going

395
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:53,759
to this game. We would make it three Mac games

396
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,960
in three days. If we were going to this game,

397
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,440
for sure, I would test my powers and try to

398
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,759
bet the in person under on this one. I do

399
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,880
kind of have a sligh I'm interested. You know, when

400
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,680
Rob and I have aligned, it's always been very good

401
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,759
on these totals. I feel little. I feel good when

402
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,279
he aligns with me. I think this one we could

403
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,599
see some regression and part Kent State was another team,

404
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,839
you know I talked about Misissippi State earlier. Kent State

405
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,480
was not a good three point shooting team last year,

406
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:22,799
and so are we going to continue to see this

407
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,559
kind of these kind of scores, probably not in Wilmington. Again,

408
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,839
like Iowa State we talked about on that previous matchup,

409
00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:32,960
they were good defensively last year. So I think that

410
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,559
looking at this game, if I had to make a play, yes,

411
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,119
I would try to take a stab.

412
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: With the under Rob.

413
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,799
Speaker 3: I got a question for you, because I feel like

414
00:18:43,839 --> 00:18:47,119
this is how you look at games. Okay, you have

415
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,640
a team where their coach Rob Sanderoff just ripped him

416
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,839
for defense. But they played two games where the both

417
00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:56,960
of these teams in Troy and especially Cornell were willing

418
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,400
to like press and go the length of the court,

419
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,759
and that was the style of play that they certainly wanted.

420
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Wilmington's a little bit different in that regard. Wilmington's not

421
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,759
going to take as many threes. They're going to work

422
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:09,279
their office a little bit more, try to get to

423
00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:11,839
the rim. Is is this the setup that you like?

424
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,920
Try to get in with a total because there's something

425
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,640
that's so drastically different from maybe what the first two

426
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,279
games look like.

427
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, and mostly, Adam, you're waiting for the coach to

428
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,279
speak up. Generally, coaches don't rip their team on a

429
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,400
nightly basis when it happens. It happens for a reason.

430
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,519
He's trying to make a point. This happens in the

431
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,279
NBA as well. I know when I go through the

432
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,240
show with Ski all the time doing the NBA, when

433
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:37,119
we see a coach quote like that. Even in the

434
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,680
w NBA when Becky Hammond would rip the Las Vegas defense,

435
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:43,240
there were.

436
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: Times, you know, here's here's the issue you run into.

437
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: Do you take the coach's word for and as you've

438
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,279
worked them extra hard, and does the team listen to

439
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:54,759
his words? Or is the team just not good defensively

440
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,599
and it doesn't happen that that's what you run into.

441
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,279
Generally you find that out in the next game. But

442
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,880
I think your better point to this one, Adam, would

443
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,599
be the tempo change by the opponent. Now, for me,

444
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,880
I like to think that the home team can control

445
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,200
tempo for the majority of the game, not to full

446
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,200
forty in college basketball, but let's just say twenty eight

447
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,480
out of forty minutes go to the tempo that Kent

448
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:22,119
lights and twelve go to Wilmington.

449
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: If Wilmington was at.

450
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,599
Speaker 5: Home, it would be reversed, but still those twelve minutes

451
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,440
can make a big difference. Now, the total heroes come

452
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,160
down a couple of points. What I find now in

453
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,240
basketball all the time, and now even in football, is

454
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,279
everybody out there in the early market is an injury chaser.

455
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:39,480
So these lines they go up or down a lot

456
00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:42,559
of times, not according to how people think the game

457
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,440
is going to be played, but to injury. And Adam,

458
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,359
you talked about two for Wilmington that we're going to

459
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,480
have to track here. In the first two Kent games, Brian,

460
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,880
you talked about threes, and this just goes to tempo

461
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,039
thirty of sixty nine from three thirty five threes a

462
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:00,559
game put up by Kent. I think Morgan's Stafford had

463
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:02,880
a seven for nine in one of those games shooting it.

464
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,359
So Kent's obviously established an offensive pattern. These opponents, you know,

465
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,079
the opponent NC Greensboro or Wilmington played excuse me, mount Olive.

466
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: We can't scrape much from that.

467
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 5: I think in the long run, here I would say

468
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,640
that the number has come down off the total, not

469
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:23,000
for your reason, Adam, but.

470
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: For before an injury reason.

471
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: And possibly.

472
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,039
Speaker 5: I mean, if you get those guys, maybe you look

473
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:33,240
towards over to me, this game's in the solid place

474
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:34,599
to begin with So that's why I have a lot

475
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,599
of trouble dissecting it and making a firm commitment on

476
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:40,720
which way I would play it. But I would say

477
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,519
that Kent is probably going to control tempo for the

478
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:47,559
majority of the game. Wilmington has added enough size to

479
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,279
that team through the ortal through additions to where maybe

480
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,559
you know, if you grab a board defensive board, you

481
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:57,880
can slow the game down right there. So if Wilmington's

482
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,240
good on the boards, which they might be here defense

483
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,160
and boards especially, then you could look at under it

484
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:05,839
totals in a tough place. But I think we covered

485
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,559
a lot of philosophical ground there to let people know

486
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,079
how you should look at these games from a you know,

487
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,200
every game styles make matchup right, and therefore these totals

488
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,000
that are simply made on mathematical basises and then bed

489
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:23,559
into because of injury situations not always correct.

490
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,759
Speaker 1: I could see it going either way.

491
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: It's a long winded way of just trying to point

492
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:30,359
out how I look at totals and not really giving

493
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,680
you a selection on the game. I apologize, guys, but

494
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:38,279
Garth decided to donate the for the philosophical advice anyway.

495
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: Yes, so yeah, no, that was Honestly, I felt like

496
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,319
a good discussion on both of those games. And the

497
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,160
nice part about this show is we've got twenty minutes

498
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,599
to talk two of the bigger games that you're you know,

499
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,880
on the slate, and then forty to actually find picks

500
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,359
in the games that are probably more worth betting. So

501
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,599
that's what we're going to do for the next forty

502
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,079
minutes of this show. Garth actually donated to hear about

503
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:04,880
Western Kentucky on the money line, and so I'll start

504
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,759
this game off and then and then you guys could

505
00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:11,839
add something in I disagree. Well, I guess Garth. You know,

506
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,359
he says he's a hilltop or alum. So shout out

507
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,839
to Garth, Garth, I may it's there's an outside chance

508
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:19,599
I'm out a Western Kentucky game this year at some

509
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,200
point if it works into my schedule, so maybe we

510
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,599
can meet up. We had a great time meeting Ethan Bainbridge,

511
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:27,400
who came out and went to the Bowling Green game

512
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,240
with us. So shout out Ethan for making the drive

513
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,799
down to uh I think he came down from Grand

514
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:34,279
Rapids all the way to Bowling Green.

515
00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: We had a great time. So it was we love

516
00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:36,799
to meet you guys.

517
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: That's also why we're you know, I've met probably got

518
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,720
like twenty people at this point that watched the shows

519
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:46,839
during my travel. Is always a great time. So yeah,

520
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,799
well we'll let you know if we're gonna be in town.

521
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,200
But as far as this name is concerned, So first,

522
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,000
first sort of notable thing, this is.

523
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,079
Speaker 2: At Eastern Kentucky.

524
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: I don't think Eastern Kentucky gets many, like big home

525
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200
games outside of conference play, so it might be a

526
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,839
little bit of a big deal for them getting a.

527
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,279
Speaker 2: Western Kentucky at home.

528
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: I you know, these these are not two leagues that

529
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,279
I'm I feel like I'm overly confident in just my

530
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,359
general read of like the league and a lot of

531
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,880
these teams like not not like you know how I

532
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,839
sort of am in the Northeastern conferences. But uh my

533
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,519
number makes Western Kentucky a slight favorite here, So I'll

534
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,720
have to go back and dig a little bit in

535
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,319
terms of, like, you know, how much should I be

536
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,039
giving home court to Eastern Kentucky. Admittedly I don't know

537
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,400
much about their building or what kind of home court

538
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,720
edge they have or any but just from a where

539
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:40,440
I have these two teams rated the fact that I

540
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,160
think Western Kentucky probably has an advantage.

541
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,319
Speaker 2: On the interior here, Garth, I would I would not

542
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,000
be laying.

543
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: I think it's three now, so I don't know if

544
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,400
let me go to the odd screen here real quick?

545
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,519
Speaker 1: One and a half?

546
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's so so we had what okay, so

547
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,880
here's a little right here, Garth.

548
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: This was probably a little bit of a headfach.

549
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: This was Eastern Kentucky two and a half like two

550
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,440
seconds ago. And what I think probably happened was someone

551
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:12,480
bet this up to get that key number of two

552
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,680
and a half on Western Kentucky. And my guess is,

553
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,799
if my numbers are accurate here, Western Kentucky will probably

554
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,559
go off a very slight favorite. So I think if

555
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:24,960
you want the Western Kentucky money line, you grab it now.

556
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,960
And I think from a matchup standpoint, it is a

557
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,839
fine bet. Someone if hey, if you're in Richmond, Kentucky,

558
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,480
let me know if Eastern Kentucky home games get lit

559
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:38,039
in the middle of November. That's all I would want

560
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:39,599
to know, because I don't know what to work for

561
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,519
home court there.

562
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna see just like you, who would

563
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,039
have known that what a volatile crowd at Bowling Green

564
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,960
can be you know, not a you mentioned it wasn't

565
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,279
a large crowd yesterday that was on an Trigg, But

566
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,440
there are definitely a couple people in that Bowling Green crowd.

567
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,599
I'll tell you what, all you officials, if you're going

568
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,559
to Bowling Green and you're not doing a good job

569
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,319
with the whistle, there's a couple of people that are

570
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:03,640
gonna let you know about it, and they'll let you

571
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,079
know about it for all forty minutes.

572
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:08,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Bowling Green was up I think fifteen

573
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,200
at one point, and that that guy did not let up.

574
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,559
Speaker 2: He did not let up all the whole time.

575
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 4: Should we bring up that New Haven game?

576
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:19,079
Speaker 1: Hop in? Yeah?

577
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, let Rob hop In on that game because I

578
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,240
want to get Garth the full breakdown here.

579
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:23,759
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Ron.

580
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:24,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

581
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be pretty brief, pretty simple here and not

582
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:32,160
go much in depth. But I would say this, Eastern

583
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,880
Kentucky's gonna have to beat Western Kentucky at their own game,

584
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,759
and I don't think they can. Western Kentucky is an

585
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:42,039
extreme tempo team. Were last year continue that this year

586
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:43,559
Eastern Kentucky.

587
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,759
Speaker 1: I just talked a little bit.

588
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 5: About how I trust the home side to control tempo

589
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,839
in most in most games, maybe by a twenty eight

590
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,279
to twelve ratio, maybe you know, twenty five to fifteen,

591
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:58,480
however you want to use it. But here I don't

592
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:02,720
see that instance when you you're an extreme tempo team.

593
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,519
Speaker 1: I don't know how to correlate it.

594
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:07,319
Speaker 5: I mean because I go back too far when I say,

595
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:11,200
look at what Loyola Merrymount did in ninety, but how

596
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,839
about now Nato to Alabama.

597
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I'll use that correlation here. When a team's goal.

598
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 5: Is just to take the ball and run as fast

599
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,039
as they can, and they're going to wear you down,

600
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:25,200
then it's very hard to control the tech.

601
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:25,559
Speaker 1: We see.

602
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,519
Speaker 5: We very rarely see anybody control Alabama or they contain

603
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:31,759
them from scoring, from running, et cetera, et cetera. I

604
00:27:31,759 --> 00:27:34,319
think that's the bout Eastern Kentucky's in here tonight. Second

605
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,200
point I'll make is Western.

606
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: Kentucky's far better tested here.

607
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,079
Speaker 5: They played Tennessee Tech, and Tennessee Tech is a far

608
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,440
better team. Early on, Tennessee Tech played Charlotte very close

609
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,519
in Charlotte's a two win oh team already, So you

610
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:53,440
have what a Western Kentucky team that scored eighty two

611
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,519
on Tennessee Tech wins by twelve. You got an Eastern

612
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:57,920
Kentucky team that's untested, that's probably going to be forced

613
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,000
into a game that it doesn't that it does mind playing,

614
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:04,880
I would say, but probably doesn't want to play. And

615
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,480
there's got to be some type of in state rivalry

616
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000
here Eastern Kentucky Western Kentucky. I don't know if it's

617
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,720
got a nickname or if there's a serious hatred between

618
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:16,559
the two, but you know you're gonna get a full

619
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,960
focus out of both sides. And Western Kentucky's so veteran

620
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:25,599
lated that to me, I would have to play. This

621
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,000
price just seems a little low here. I would normally

622
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240
I'd be jumping on totals in and this is like this.

623
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,319
But I think at this price tag, I would not

624
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,559
mind asking Western Kentucky to win by a bucket in

625
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:37,039
this game.

626
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,079
Speaker 3: All right, I gotta put this Keith Bayovet's landry coming

627
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:43,519
out hot on a Monday morning, with this right here.

628
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: Senior tax by you, I'll get back to you.

629
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,359
Speaker 3: Eastern Kentucky had a change to had a chance to

630
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,000
go D one to the Conference USA, but because Western

631
00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:56,240
Kentucky decided not to leave to join the MAC. They

632
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,839
blocked Eku from joining the conference. He says bad blood here,

633
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:02,720
So there's to speaking to potential rivalry.

634
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: All I know is as.

635
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,759
Speaker 3: We talked about this game, when when when Garth brought

636
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,880
this game up, Eastern Kentucky was minus two and a

637
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,359
half bet up. So just to just to recap how

638
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,359
this game played out in the in the betting over

639
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:20,839
the last forty five minutes, this opened Eastern Kentucky minus

640
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:23,640
one and a half. It got bet up many almost

641
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,720
everywhere to Eastern Kentucky minus two and a half, and

642
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:29,680
within since we started talking about this game, which could

643
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,279
be no more than what five or six minutes, it's

644
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:35,279
now flipped to minus one and a half Western Kentucky

645
00:29:35,319 --> 00:29:38,079
most places. So to me, that says like sort of

646
00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:41,880
clear headbake set up the side that the respected people

647
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,960
wanted or that we're manipulating. This market was likely Western

648
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,039
Kentucky and they probably are now sitting there with Western

649
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,079
Kentucky plus two and Western Kentucky plus two and a half,

650
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,200
and this looks like it is back to minus one

651
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:55,799
minus one and a half most places. That's where I

652
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,240
had the number Western Kentucky minus one. I doubt it'll

653
00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:01,000
make my card, but certainly would be on the Western

654
00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:03,400
Kentucky side if I had to pick.

655
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: Fan duel straggling behind everyone. By the way, if you

656
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,200
want to if you were after these breakdowns, if you

657
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,920
still want to bet Western Kentucky, you could still get

658
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,599
them plus one and a half. There everyone else has

659
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,880
moved favorite.

660
00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:18,079
Speaker 3: Hello FanDuel, Hello, yeah, and hey, and you know what,

661
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,279
like these are the types of games where like probably

662
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:24,440
don't need to overreact because that could get bet back

663
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,680
throughout the day. I mean again, like some you know,

664
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,200
it's a it's an interesting game. But like I did

665
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,799
see Eastern Kentucky when it was minus two and a

666
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:36,079
half and I looked and I said, hmm, there's definitely

667
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,640
some value there on my number. And that is completely gone.

668
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,079
Western Kentucky is now the favorite almost across the board.

669
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:44,480
And and and the interesting thing about us doing this

670
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:48,319
show in this hour, the ten am to eleven am hour, is.

671
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: When a lot of line moves. Yeah, a lot of these.

672
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:54,079
Speaker 3: Games get manipulated that the odds of the limits go

673
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,359
up or they appear at some books during this hour,

674
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,480
and so the moves during this show are probably going

675
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:05,119
to be like somewhat indicative of like where the respective

676
00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:06,960
money is going. So I and I think it's going

677
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,400
toward Western Kentucky. So Garth as a hilltop or alum,

678
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,400
go for it. I don't mind that. I may even

679
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,799
we're gonna need a parlay at some point. That's a

680
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,279
that's nearing the top of my list for a parlay lade.

681
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,200
So but I want to go to Ethan. So Ethan again.

682
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,039
We we had a great time hanging out with Ethan

683
00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,160
yesterday and we actually started to talk about this game

684
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,279
as we were sitting at the game watching bowling Green

685
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:33,559
and Leamoyne. Of course, the I was just talking both

686
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,400
of their ears off about Northeast Conference basketball. I don't

687
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,160
think either cared, but I had a lot to say

688
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:41,440
about Lemoyne, and I have a lot to say about

689
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,799
new Haven, and so let's let's start with this. I

690
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:46,400
want to I want to talk about this game and

691
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,559
then we'll we'll go this game to the Columbia Yukon

692
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,759
game because I have I feel like there's some connecting points.

693
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:54,839
All these teams have pretty much like played each other

694
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,000
at this point, so we'll do a little too for

695
00:31:58,079 --> 00:32:00,519
one right here. The first game we got to look

696
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:04,440
at is new Haven Lowell. So, Brian Power, tell me

697
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,519
what you wanted to tell me about the scheduling spot

698
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:08,119
for the new Haven Chargers.

699
00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:10,319
Speaker 4: So let's get this up. New Haven. This will be

700
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:14,799
their fourth game of the season in what seven days

701
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,640
now it's been, and third in four days. They have

702
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:23,200
played Columbia, Penn State, and now you mass Lowell. So

703
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,240
three the A, three games and four nights. No, Rob,

704
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,960
you have not teleported to the NBA show. We are

705
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,359
talking about a college basketball team playing its fourth it's

706
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,359
fourth and eight days. I guess technical we with third

707
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,759
and four on the road. No less, And a question

708
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:43,079
I would like to throw to you two guys, is

709
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,720
you know, for those who missed, you masked Lowell's last year.

710
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,680
That's that's the New Haven side. Okay, dreadful scheduling spot

711
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,799
that you don't see often. You masked Lowell for those

712
00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:58,519
who missed it. Last time out got absolutely hammered by

713
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Uk Drake about how we're going to interweave view con

714
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,759
in a discussion one ten to forty seven. I believe

715
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,960
I know it was a Friday night, but I was

716
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:11,119
checking social media dutifully. I believe at one point the

717
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,319
score of that game was thirty seven to two. It

718
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,759
was all It was real bad. And my question, you guys,

719
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,279
is in this model? Is this something you know? It

720
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,920
just came to me as I knew we were going

721
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,720
to talk about this game. If you're on UMass Lowell

722
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,079
and people were making funny on social media a few

723
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,319
days ago, oh my god, look up. Does that provide

724
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,240
any extra incentive to go for the kill here when

725
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:38,039
you know you're facing a team that when you're in

726
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:40,079
your own gym and you're facing a team with tire legs?

727
00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:43,319
Is that something that would all factor into your handicap

728
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,000
either of you? Because I don't know. To me, this

729
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,400
is UMass Lowell or nothing.

730
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: I'll let Rob take that question and then I'll talk

731
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
about Lowell a little bit.

732
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,599
Speaker 5: To getting killed on social media stuff. I guess it

733
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,400
depends if the coach takes their phones away. Now are

734
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,119
they even aware of Some coaches are so stern and

735
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:10,400
strict that they don't want the kids paying attention to

736
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,039
the outside noise. Some are allowing allowing, guys, and you

737
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:16,639
know they'll be able to see what's going on. I

738
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,000
would think more you know the point you made Brian

739
00:34:20,039 --> 00:34:21,000
about three and four.

740
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: Days is just crazy. In college we talk about a

741
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,400
lot of back to backs here over the weekend. This continues.

742
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 5: This is new Haven trying to establish themselves as a

743
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:32,000
first year program. I would say, you know, in college football,

744
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:34,559
these are called paydays. Go get your ass beat and

745
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,360
take home a check. I don't know that you u

746
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,400
mass Lowell is coming with a check. Go ahead and

747
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,880
destroy new Haven.

748
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,519
Speaker 1: But they do they ad them.

749
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: Let me know quick, no, no, no, they are going

750
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,920
to They will tell you what they will come with.

751
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,760
They will have that, They will have some fans that'll

752
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,559
probably hackle similar to our friends at Bowling Green. That

753
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,119
is a I've been to Lowell. That is a small gym.

754
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,119
You're right on top of the floor, and uh, they

755
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,480
they get a lot. When I went, they had a

756
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:06,239
they had a lot of locals in there just looking

757
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,559
to have a good time a little bit.

758
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,159
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it was.

759
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: When do we making the road trip to Lowell?

760
00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: Oh, it's great.

761
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 3: I went with Chris Thurstay for an America East semi

762
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:25,480
final playoff game. They were playing Bryant and they let

763
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:28,800
the Bryant band like set up in like the upper area,

764
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,400
like they have like a little balcony and like they

765
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,480
were just heckling the Bryant band the whole time.

766
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: It was it was good. I mean, you were right,

767
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,599
very very small little gym, you're right on top of

768
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:38,039
the floor.

769
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: And I'll tie that into what I want to say

770
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:46,320
about Lowell this so I think, uh, conventional wisdom or

771
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,760
you know, I guess the three of us would be

772
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,440
sitting here saying, man, third game in four days for

773
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:53,719
New Haven, like that's it, that that's gonna be tough. Well,

774
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,280
I want to just look at this a little bit differently. Okay, One,

775
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,639
New Haven got absolutely destroyed in those of those games

776
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:04,920
by Columbia and by Penn State. So they were just

777
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960
playing whoever in the second half of those games. The

778
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:09,719
minutes are being spread around. It wasn't like a super

779
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,079
intense game where they had injuries and like they just

780
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:17,199
got crushing both those games had yesterday off. The bigger

781
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,000
point here, though, is this Lowell team is not what

782
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:22,639
they have been the past couple of years. So UMass

783
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,559
Lowell has been a contender, in my opinion, in the

784
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,159
America East the last couple of seasons. I think this

785
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,320
UMass level team probably finishes bottom half of the America East.

786
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,920
I'm not very high on them overall in that conference

787
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,679
this year. So in my opinion, the spot is more

788
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,719
than baked into this number. Now my number personally, i've

789
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,280
got UMass Lowell minus ten. Am I getting enough value

790
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,280
at eleven and a half to want to take a

791
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,800
stab with the New Haven Chargers, a former alma mater

792
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,079
of our co host Rob Vino right here?

793
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: Probably not? But I have no interest in laying ten

794
00:36:57,519 --> 00:36:59,039
and a half with Lowell. I do not think this

795
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:00,239
team is very good year.

796
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,519
Speaker 4: Okay, so I mean it does you know, obviously a

797
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:05,320
team that got I mean, look, they weren't gonna do

798
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,039
anything against Yukon, right, but you know it does speak fun.

799
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:10,559
Do you really want to lay you know, double digits

800
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:13,440
with a team that's clearly not very good? Probably not.

801
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,079
I think you've kind of talked me off doing that

802
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:18,639
trig And you know, Rob, obviously you would know better

803
00:37:18,679 --> 00:37:20,800
if you want to wrap it up the discussion. Knew

804
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,559
if this is a team you mentioned obviously making the

805
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:25,400
jump up that they were not. They were not exactly

806
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,440
good at the Division two level, and they lost four

807
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:29,920
of their top five scores. As well from last year.

808
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,079
So this is this is not a team that was

809
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:35,039
exactly you know, this may not have been the best

810
00:37:35,159 --> 00:37:37,400
year for them to make the jump up the Division one.

811
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 5: And guys, real quick, because the geographic location, it's bound

812
00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:46,639
to be a little bit of I mean, it's obviously

813
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,360
not a formed rivalry in college basketball, but I'm sure

814
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,800
the location in West Haven of Connecticut and the proximity

815
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,239
to Lowell, Massachusetts.

816
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: Makes it a little bit of a.

817
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 5: You know, a little bit of a the start of

818
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,800
maybe a rivalry here, and Lowell's going to want to

819
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,280
put the foot down.

820
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,519
Speaker 1: I'm a little brother immediately.

821
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 5: So if I were to look at it, I would

822
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,440
I would look at it only from the Lowell side,

823
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,719
whether they're you know, they're reduced amount of starters guys.

824
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,039
Speaker 1: Bridan just talked about it down four starters or whatnot.

825
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,519
Speaker 5: Probably the talent level still is better than what it

826
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:24,840
is at UNH at this point in time. So Adam

827
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,119
said he made it ten numbers eleven and a half

828
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,760
at I don't know if I had to play the

829
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,079
favorite here, thinking that UNH just with a limited roster

830
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,519
and in the scheduling situation that they're in, probably too.

831
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:37,199
Speaker 1: Much to overcome.

832
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:40,559
Speaker 2: And if they're all vickered up hiding in there, Adam,

833
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:42,840
the chat needs to know.

834
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,639
Speaker 3: The chat now has has they think you might be

835
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:49,320
a pizza guy because you're in that neck of the woods.

836
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,079
So Jake Hepler says, be Veno knows good pizza. And

837
00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:54,519
then we have another person asking, like, what's what's the

838
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:55,559
pizza spot out there?

839
00:38:55,639 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: Do you have a New Haven?

840
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:57,519
Speaker 4: Like?

841
00:38:57,679 --> 00:38:59,599
Speaker 2: Which New Haven spot would be your spot?

842
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's probably the state wide spot. It's called Peppies

843
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:08,559
in New Haven. There's generally a line, you know, quarter

844
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:11,719
mile long wait to get pizza from that place. I

845
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,920
think I think Peppi's actually has two locations. Now I

846
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:19,159
was told my recent visit for a family get together

847
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:20,760
in Connecticut, but that's the place you want to go

848
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,199
New Haven Peppies Pizza, that's the spot.

849
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,519
Speaker 3: Okay, I know I've got to get I still have

850
00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:29,800
to do, like Yale, I still have to get out

851
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,760
to obviously New Haven now that they're d two and

852
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,440
I will. I've absolutely got like a list of pizza

853
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,599
places I want to hit, Like when I get out

854
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:39,400
to to one of those games, I'll keep it with

855
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,280
you and and and we'll go back and because I

856
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,639
want to, so I want to kind of make a

857
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:45,679
point here into like we're about to have like a

858
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,000
sort of common opponent thread with with another game. So

859
00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:53,440
Colombia is going to hit the road to play Yukon,

860
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,039
who just smashed new Haven and Lowell. And of course

861
00:39:57,079 --> 00:39:59,800
on the show on Friday, if you watched the live

862
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:01,559
of the show, you you should have had a nice

863
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:04,119
winner on Columbia over new Haven. That was a three

864
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:06,679
percent play for me that I gave out on the show.

865
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:11,039
Now Columbia heads to stores to play the Yukon Huskies.

866
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,800
So this is interesting to me, and you know see,

867
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,320
so the way I look at it is this like

868
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,960
Yukon has had two pretty much no contest games at

869
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,639
this point, U Mass Lowell and new Haven. Now, I

870
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,960
already said on Friday when I think about Columbia, they

871
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,079
were far superior team to new Haven. I just talked

872
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:33,159
about low a little bit. I think Columbia might be

873
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,480
superior to you Mass Lowell as well.

874
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:37,639
Speaker 2: My number here was where.

875
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,079
Speaker 3: This opened in the thirty to thirty and a half range.

876
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,960
I'm seeing this bit up to thirty four some places now,

877
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,000
so I see clear value on the Columbia Lions.

878
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,679
Speaker 2: Do I want to do it. I don't really love

879
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:49,800
take I don't love these.

880
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 3: Thirty point favorites, but this is a scenario where I

881
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,000
would not lay it with the favorite. I think Columbia's

882
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,719
got enough juice potentially to stay within the number.

883
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:00,519
Speaker 2: And I'll go to you to sort of either talk

884
00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:01,880
me into or off of that.

885
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: Well.

886
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 5: I don't know if I could do either, but I

887
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,840
could go to the same game and tell you I

888
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,400
follow your train of thought and it leads me to total.

889
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,280
And I think the people that got there really got

890
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,360
the best of this number.

891
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:12,559
Speaker 4: Right.

892
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 1: They betted up from fifty two and a half to

893
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:15,880
fifty five and a half.

894
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,199
Speaker 5: The fact that Connecticut has played opponents that we consider

895
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,480
lesser than Columbia, I'm with you on that grounds. And

896
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:26,719
the fact that Danny Hurley is just an angry, angry

897
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,519
head coach after what happened last year, you know, turned

898
00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:31,519
down the Lakers come back to Yukon, We're going to

899
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,800
win another title.

900
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: We don't do it this year. That is the only

901
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,239
goal for the Yukon Huskies.

902
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,519
Speaker 5: And you can see the way they poured it on

903
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:44,280
last game, right, I mean, they're probably destined for ninety

904
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,960
five or so in this game, which if you're Columbia,

905
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:50,559
you're asking Columbia to get you to the sixty one

906
00:41:50,639 --> 00:41:52,800
point mark at the current number. I don't know that

907
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,599
that's unreasonable, guys. That kind of puts you on side

908
00:41:56,679 --> 00:41:59,639
in total, right on the numbers. So I just rattled

909
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:01,679
those off the top of my head. But interestingly that

910
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,280
does put you exactly on the numbers side and total.

911
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:07,360
But I would play over here, guys, and I probably

912
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,840
would have played it earlier. Now we're asking for one

913
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,480
fifty six. I still think it's doable.

914
00:42:11,559 --> 00:42:16,679
Speaker 1: Connecticut's just so so wound up, so fired up for

915
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:17,199
the season.

916
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: Now.

917
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 5: The one thing I did look at, Adam is real

918
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:22,760
quick here they played BYU on deck, but that game's

919
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,199
five days away. If it were a little closer, I

920
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,280
would think that maybe Hurley pulls back the reins. We're

921
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,440
gonna just take it easy, get ready for BYU. But

922
00:42:31,519 --> 00:42:33,880
with the game being over the weekend, I think it's

923
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,000
it's either Friday or Saturday. Guys, I forget which it is,

924
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:41,760
but they probably Saturday game. That look ahead doesn't mean

925
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,559
as much to me in this spot, so for me,

926
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:45,639
it would probably be over or nothing. But I think

927
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:49,519
the play on over would be reduced at this point

928
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:51,440
because the better number was already taken.

929
00:42:53,519 --> 00:42:56,519
Speaker 4: Is Yukon team total an option ron? Like what it's

930
00:42:56,519 --> 00:42:59,400
a high night? It's ninety four and a half. Like

931
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,400
I'm just saying, I mean, if you're talking about side

932
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,119
in total being correlated, Yukon right to get this game over,

933
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,280
Yukon's got to get over there, Numbeam don't.

934
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: Yeah right, it's probably in play bright And the reason

935
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,119
why he stays in play is because when he lets

936
00:43:12,159 --> 00:43:15,400
the bench loose, they're still that good on Connecticut. You know,

937
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:17,360
some of these teams they let the bench loose and

938
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,800
it's just you're watching kids throw up.

939
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: Bricks and you don't get there. But with Yukon, it's

940
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,639
a different story.

941
00:43:24,159 --> 00:43:27,119
Speaker 5: Now Danny Hurley does we've seen him, and he did

942
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:29,960
it to his own kid, right, not allow him to

943
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:31,880
take a shot when they had ninety eight and they're

944
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,679
going to get one hundred and the crowds cheering for

945
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,920
one hundred, and Hurly toes his kid, don't you dare

946
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,079
shoot the ball? And then here from his wife after

947
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:39,960
the game, why didn't you let our kids shoot the ball?

948
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,800
So maybe those late thirty seconds in his mind have changed,

949
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,840
but you know they're they're that good.

950
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:53,519
Speaker 3: Speaking of that good, Lucasto says, Sally's that was the one.

951
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:55,480
I figured it was going to be Frank Pepe or

952
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,599
Sally's that you were gonna say. Is that like the

953
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:02,079
like the consensus one you? I feel like ever since

954
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:04,599
Port and I put Sally's sort of on, I feel

955
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:07,480
like those are like the two. I'll be trying both

956
00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:10,079
when I get out there, which I'll be on a

957
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:10,880
diet until then.

958
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: After what Brian and I ate this weekend, I'll.

959
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:13,119
Speaker 1: Tell you what.

960
00:44:14,119 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 4: Anyone want a taco recommendation, go to Crunchies in East Lands.

961
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,679
Like Adam, Trigger was absolutely horrified when I motioned to

962
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,000
the server, Hey, I'll take a second order. I'll smash

963
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:26,920
five tacos at eleven o'clock at night.

964
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: Why not? There's a second full entree order at eleven pm.

965
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 3: But I knew you weren't going to finish all three,

966
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,239
and I wanted to try him to, which is why

967
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:34,880
I let you do it.

968
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was aggressive aggressive order right there.

969
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,119
Speaker 4: Well, bet regret. On Sunday morning, Rob I was like,

970
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,760
why why did I order that second plate at Tacos

971
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,840
at eleven o'clock at night.

972
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: Key I cake from all that. As Adams said, he

973
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,360
let you do.

974
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 2: It, yeah, because he was like I could tell he

975
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:53,960
wasn't going to finish all.

976
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,119
Speaker 3: Three, and I was like, I kind of want to try.

977
00:44:56,159 --> 00:44:57,960
I was like, I was full too, but I was like, I,

978
00:44:58,079 --> 00:44:59,559
I they do look good. I kind of want to

979
00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:02,000
try one of sure Enough, he got through like one

980
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:04,119
and a half. He's like, I'm gonna throw up. I

981
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,360
was a gallied that last week. Oops, all right, we

982
00:45:08,519 --> 00:45:10,559
have a fifteen minutes left on the show. No one

983
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,199
has put in a parlay leg yet, just a typical

984
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,880
Monday morning. But I still I'm between like three different games.

985
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,880
So Brian, did you I'm going to defer to you

986
00:45:20,039 --> 00:45:21,920
for two things. One do you know a game you

987
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:22,880
want to lock it in? Two?

988
00:45:23,519 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 2: Do you have something to promote? Did you end up

989
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,519
getting to the window of the football play for tonight?

990
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do that. We should talk about. By the way, guys,

available waygetalk dot com. Then because I do, I have

998
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,880
a very rare five percent play on the Monday night

999
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,079
football game. This is just my second five percent play

1000
00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:57,480
of the NFL season. Guys. The first came all the

1001
00:45:57,519 --> 00:45:59,920
way back in Week two. I took the Atlanta Falcon.

1002
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,719
It was a three and a half point underdog. They

1003
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,800
destroyed the Mini, they destroyed the Minnesota game. Yes, absolutely

1004
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,800
good memory. Yes, so and so WT dot Buzz slash

1005
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,039
VP is where to go to get that. For my

1006
00:46:13,159 --> 00:46:15,599
partly that I'm still deciding between the top two games

1007
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:19,320
we talked about. You know what, sometimes you just have

1008
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,880
a feel you're you're in a groove, if you will

1009
00:46:23,199 --> 00:46:26,360
we come off the weekend trig. We went to three games,

1010
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,880
they all go under. Two of them were max schools.

1011
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,840
You got that Kent State team where their first two

1012
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,880
games were ridiculously high scoring. I wanted I was thinking

1013
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,559
long and hard about the Mississippi State team total under.

1014
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,760
But I think let's keep let's stay in our groove.

1015
00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:47,440
Let's stay in our lane another mac under let's go

1016
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:51,920
under UNC Wilmington Kent State. That will be my leg

1017
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:52,760
of the parlay.

1018
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,159
Speaker 2: Is that a full game? What do we have for

1019
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,119
a number right there?

1020
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: I believe it was one sixty four and a half

1021
00:46:59,639 --> 00:47:01,559
last look, but of course could have We are doing

1022
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:03,199
the show live and it could have moved. So I

1023
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,079
think that's always a good idea to give the people

1024
00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:08,360
the number, well one one sixty and a half part

1025
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,679
of the one sixty and a half I miss ai.

1026
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to you know, kind of drive that

1027
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:13,599
point home.

1028
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 3: So the move CJ Luster if he doesn't play, I mean,

1029
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,159
he is a big time scorer and that would certainly

1030
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:22,320
help the underbutt. I'm just gonna go back to a

1031
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,760
point Rob made earlier in terms of, like, you know

1032
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,880
that the center off was mad at the defensive effort

1033
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:32,360
against Troy, even though they gave up one hundred plus,

1034
00:47:32,519 --> 00:47:35,119
Like that's the type of game you're gonna play against Cornell.

1035
00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:38,079
So I don't think Kent State's defense was necessarily poor.

1036
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:40,360
They won the game one ten, one oh two. That's

1037
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,400
just the type of game you're gonna get against Cornell

1038
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,400
like that, you're gonna Cornell's gonna play games where both

1039
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,280
teams score one hundred, so I think you may get

1040
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,119
the better like the better defensive effort might actually show

1041
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,199
up here for Kent State like more because it's the

1042
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,840
style of the game it's gonna be, and hopefully that

1043
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,320
will keep the game under for VP, who has been

1044
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,599
a machine with mac unders.

1045
00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: So thank you for that one, Brian. But we'll get

1046
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Robin here. Do you know what you want to use

1047
00:48:05,519 --> 00:48:06,840
for the parlight? By chance?

1048
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:10,119
Speaker 5: You know I'm gonna close in on it right now

1049
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,679
for you guys, Let's go to what could be considered

1050
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:21,079
a high profile game here, Santa Clara Xavier. We know

1051
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,119
Richard Patino, new head coach at Xavier, far different style

1052
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,800
than what Sean Miller had. I'm gonna play this Xavier

1053
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,039
team total, guys up in over seventy.

1054
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: Nine and a half.

1055
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 5: Santa Clara herbs Sendek is a funny coach all his

1056
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:40,559
days at NC State. Slow methodical, slow, methodical, slow methodical.

1057
00:48:40,639 --> 00:48:43,960
Get the Santa Clara speedy, speedy, speedy. And then in

1058
00:48:44,039 --> 00:48:47,159
the first game this year, tempo little tempo changed by

1059
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:47,840
Santa Clara.

1060
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: But I think that had to do.

1061
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes these numbers get a little bit over

1062
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:58,280
or underinflated because you're playing non board teams. Right, Your

1063
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:01,920
speed numbers are faster because as you ran some cakewalk

1064
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:02,840
team off the floor.

1065
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,599
Speaker 1: It's slower because you didn't pay too much attention.

1066
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 5: But Santa Clara, I think their roots are to play

1067
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,519
a fairly quick tempo. And for Xavier here coming into

1068
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:15,719
Xavier's gym, Brian, you probably speak on this far better

1069
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,760
than me, But Xavier's gym is no fun, especially for

1070
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,719
a West Coast team to come into that environment, and

1071
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,039
I just don't know that they'll handle the pressure of

1072
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:30,159
Xavier immediately. It may only take a strong scoring first

1073
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,679
half to get this one up and over. But I

1074
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,400
see the number, guys, as far as team total is concerned,

1075
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,280
for Xavier, at seventy nine, am I on that? I

1076
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,199
think seventy Yeah. In fact, seventy nine and a half

1077
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,320
the consensus number here gives us a flat one ten.

1078
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,880
There are places out there charging you fifteen or twenty cents. Again,

1079
00:49:53,039 --> 00:49:55,159
go find the best number you can. But that's going

1080
00:49:55,199 --> 00:49:56,519
to be my leg of the parlay tonight.

1081
00:49:56,559 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: Guys.

1082
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 5: Team totals have been pretty successful for me early on

1083
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:02,119
Xavier team totally against Santa Clara over seventy nine and

1084
00:50:02,159 --> 00:50:02,400
a half.

1085
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought this game up ro because this

1086
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,760
was one of the ones I hope to talk about

1087
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,039
on the show. I actually debated making it a triple

1088
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:14,480
header feature. So we'll give this, you know, because this

1089
00:50:14,519 --> 00:50:16,760
is a Fox Sports one game, National TV game, so

1090
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,480
we'll give this the the sort of full treatment. For me,

1091
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:23,079
I was interested in the Santa Clara side. Now there's

1092
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:25,000
a couple of things going on here and something you

1093
00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:27,920
made a point of. It's like these lines move, but

1094
00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:31,360
like it doesn't always. It moves correlated to like the

1095
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,840
personnel on the floor and like an injury, not so

1096
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,159
much the total. I think that's why you're seeing Xavier

1097
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:39,679
take money tonight Santa Clara, maybe without a player or two.

1098
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,159
Speaker 2: And I gotta be honest, this is one of those.

1099
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:46,079
Speaker 3: Scenarios where I may like I got I got the

1100
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:48,280
day to think about it, but I kind of want

1101
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,400
to take a shot with Santa Clara even if they're

1102
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,280
missing a guy or two, because I just I still

1103
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,599
think that they may be a better team than this

1104
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,280
Xavier team, even if they're missing like one of their starters.

1105
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,159
I sent you a tweet from Richard Patino, both of

1106
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,199
you over the weekend. Yeah, he was having a little

1107
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,599
fun after the Lamoyne game where he rated he was

1108
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:12,559
like cheerleaders a plus, the spirit squad a like complimented

1109
00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:15,440
everyone said, you know, said the offense look good. He

1110
00:51:15,519 --> 00:51:17,960
gave the defense an F minus. Right, so he gave

1111
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,280
he gave his and it was like playful. Of course

1112
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,559
they barely beat Lemoyne. That's actually a probably. I think

1113
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:26,960
there were a twenty We talked about Lemoyne on the

1114
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,280
show taking the points out.

1115
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: That was like a five point game. They were like

1116
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:31,400
a twenty four point favorite.

1117
00:51:32,039 --> 00:51:35,159
Speaker 3: And when I saw that tweet, I said, Okay, he know,

1118
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,920
like Xavier, this is like a like a total team

1119
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,039
building year for Xavier. I don't think he expects like

1120
00:51:42,039 --> 00:51:44,079
to win many games. I think, you know, obviously they're

1121
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:46,960
gonna win some games. But I think Richard Patino is realistic.

1122
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,039
I think he knows that that team is not going

1123
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:51,760
to factor into the Big East this year. Too young,

1124
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:55,079
not enough talent. And then so for me, I think

1125
00:51:55,519 --> 00:51:58,960
I saw this when I was down in the Bahamas, Georgia,

1126
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,719
when Mike White took over Georgia.

1127
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: It was very similar. They stayed out to like four am.

1128
00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:04,679
They were down there having fun.

1129
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 3: And I really truly believe that that year it was

1130
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,320
more like, hey, like, let's build some like a fun atmosphere.

1131
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,320
Let's get these guys to like each other, have each

1132
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,039
other's backs. And then the next year Georgia was very good,

1133
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,440
much better than the market anticipated. I think you might

1134
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,199
get something like that with Xavier this year. So Xavier

1135
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:21,000
is a fade for me.

1136
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 2: And I'm debating even taking the points with Santa Clara here,

1137
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,119
even if they're shorthanded, So go go ahead, VP.

1138
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, obviously, Patino. You know he's used

1139
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,679
to having good defensive teams. You know, New Mexico is

1140
00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:35,559
what the top fifteen in the country. I believe the

1141
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,840
defensive efficiency last year points per possessional out. One thing

1142
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,119
I will caution trigger was funny. You know, when I

1143
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,920
was sweating out that under last at the Bowling Green

1144
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,719
Lamoine game yesterday, I was bemoaning. I was like, why

1145
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,679
is this the first college basketball game I've seen in

1146
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,800
two years where these kids can't miss a free throw?

1147
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,199
They were shooting. The teams were like a combined ninety

1148
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,719
five percent Santa Clair has been bad from the look,

1149
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,639
correct me if I'm wrong. Santa Clair's been bad from

1150
00:52:59,679 --> 00:53:03,280
the law. Now it's a small This is something that

1151
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,159
I think, you know, no matter what game you're looking at, guys,

1152
00:53:06,559 --> 00:53:08,119
you need to take them a coup. Is this just

1153
00:53:08,159 --> 00:53:10,679
a small sample size or is it something is a

1154
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,119
sign of things to come. Two games do not make

1155
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:15,880
an entire season, But Santa Clair has been poor from

1156
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,559
the charity stripe, So that is something you're gonna want

1157
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:21,760
to note, particularly you know, in a game where it's

1158
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,000
lying close like this, does that come back to bite

1159
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:28,599
them if you're betting spread, if you're betting a Broncos.

1160
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 2: On to Rob. Just to make a point for Rob

1161
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,639
and to to sort of support his over.

1162
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 3: Richard Patino is much much happier with the offense than

1163
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,000
he was with the DS first game.

1164
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: So it wasn't the offense that he felt was the issue.

1165
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,079
Speaker 3: It was the lack of It was basically just like

1166
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,039
you know, Letting Lamoyne of all teams do whatever they wanted.

1167
00:53:49,639 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: Offensively.

1168
00:53:50,639 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 3: And I think Santa Clara is I mean, if we're

1169
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,280
talking about even if you're down a player to Santa

1170
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,199
Clara is a far more talented team than Lamoye. Santa

1171
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,599
Clara will be a a respectable team in a WCC

1172
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,760
conference that sort of continues to climb the ranks of

1173
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,639
like you know, they're probably if you were to rank

1174
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,440
out conferences, the one that's like right outside the power

1175
00:54:11,639 --> 00:54:14,480
conferences at this point is probably the WCC when you

1176
00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:18,119
consider the fact that you've got Gonzaga, Saint Mary's, Grand

1177
00:54:18,199 --> 00:54:22,480
Canyon inherited, a couple of Pack twelve teams without a

1178
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,920
home Washington State, Oregon State, like you know, so to me,

1179
00:54:26,199 --> 00:54:28,119
like Santa Clair is a much better team.

1180
00:54:28,159 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 2: Obviously that's reflected in the number.

1181
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 3: But I don't really agree with that Xavier move, so

1182
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,800
I'm not gonna put that in the parlay. Obviously, I

1183
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,360
don't want us to be on the same game, but

1184
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,800
I do sort of lean Santa Clara at four and

1185
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,280
a half. I think that's a decent bet. Let's go

1186
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,360
see if we can get one more question in here quick.

1187
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,119
I know what I'm gonna use at this point, but

1188
00:54:47,199 --> 00:54:51,920
I'll it's a game we've already talked about. Well, I'll

1189
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,559
throw it in there when I recap, but I don't

1190
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:57,199
need to take more time on that let's let's get

1191
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,880
one more game in here. I'm just kind of browsing

1192
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,039
seeing which ones we missed. Anyone have any Arkansas Little

1193
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:06,599
Rock takes. That's a game A couple of people asked about.

1194
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:08,840
I gotta like go and find that one.

1195
00:55:09,199 --> 00:55:11,079
Speaker 1: On a rock.

1196
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 3: I don't think I believe that Arkansas Little Rock is

1197
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,920
playing Wisconsin Milwaukee or now Milwaukee.

1198
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,519
Speaker 4: Just for me, they're getting rid of the whisky. It's

1199
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:21,599
just like it, just like it's Green Bay now, yes,

1200
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:26,199
and they're Little Rock now yeah, yeah, yeah, Little Rock.

1201
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,880
We're just hey, yes, we're taking things away. Forget the stake,

1202
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,360
just talk about the city. I think there's an injury

1203
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,239
concerned for Little Rock. Correct me if I'm wrong.

1204
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: Someone I have I have to go dig into.

1205
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 4: I mean, this line's moved. I can see why people

1206
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,320
are asking about this line's moving, and I believe that

1207
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,239
is injury related. Why there's money coming on Milliewaukee, which

1208
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,199
is Algonquin for the good Land by the way, you

1209
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,159
old morning wager.

1210
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:55,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go to Rob if he has any crime.

1211
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,320
I really have nothing here. These are two teams and

1212
00:55:57,599 --> 00:55:59,840
I haven't sort of keyed in on at any point

1213
00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:02,960
this year, so it just it just hasn't hasn't come

1214
00:56:03,079 --> 00:56:05,360
up for me in my sort of research yet today.

1215
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, the real initial reaction here for me, guys being

1216
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:11,079
a totals guys, I know they're both tempo teams. High

1217
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:14,159
tempo teams. You're gonna get possessions, you're gonna get opportunities.

1218
00:56:14,199 --> 00:56:16,119
The problem with Little rockies a lot of times they

1219
00:56:16,119 --> 00:56:20,639
don't shoot straight and opportunities don't necessarily lead to points.

1220
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,960
So the number seems to be pretty high, and if

1221
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,360
there's injury consideration, you may want to even start looking

1222
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,440
at that toward under tell you the truth if.

1223
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,679
Speaker 1: There is a firm report on injury here. But that,

1224
00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:34,519
to me, that's where I would start that handicap. It's

1225
00:56:34,639 --> 00:56:35,199
just with pace.

1226
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 5: It's a lot like the Xavier handicap. You know they're

1227
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,440
gonna get up and down. Points will be scored. But

1228
00:56:40,599 --> 00:56:43,800
in this case, the numbers almost won sixty and I

1229
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,440
bet enough Little Rock games to know that there's instances

1230
00:56:47,519 --> 00:56:50,440
where they're thirty four percent from the field, et cetera,

1231
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,480
et cetera, where you just don't get there because of them.

1232
00:56:55,639 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 3: All Right, it is we are three minutes from the

1233
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,719
end of the show, so we should probably lock this

1234
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,400
in right now, I am gonna go. I'm gonna go

1235
00:57:03,519 --> 00:57:05,559
with that game we talked about earlier. I'm gonna use

1236
00:57:05,559 --> 00:57:10,000
Western Kentucky for my guy Garth, who requested that game.

1237
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,079
Speaker 2: We had such a good combo about that game.

1238
00:57:12,199 --> 00:57:15,519
Speaker 3: I truly believe that that was like faked toward Eastern

1239
00:57:15,599 --> 00:57:18,519
Kentucky and then they took Western Kentucky at the number

1240
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:19,119
they wanted to.

1241
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

1242
00:57:20,599 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'll get there with a client

1243
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,599
play for it at the current number, but it's it

1244
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:27,639
would be it would be good enough to use in

1245
00:57:27,679 --> 00:57:28,800
the parlay in my opinion.

1246
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,679
Speaker 2: So is that as Western Kentucky? What are we at there?

1247
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,000
Are we are they favored?

1248
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:34,199
Speaker 1: Now?

1249
00:57:34,599 --> 00:57:36,199
Speaker 2: Do I have the money line it? I'm just trying

1250
00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:38,320
to get an accurate number for the parlay.

1251
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 4: Let's just join in here. It is I mean, it's

1252
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:46,159
this is really a books will vary.

1253
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,559
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's extra board.

1254
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 3: So that's that's also another reason why I probably and

1255
00:57:51,719 --> 00:57:54,559
actually this could come back. So it's now a pick

1256
00:57:54,679 --> 00:57:57,559
most places. I should notice that the extra extra board

1257
00:57:57,639 --> 00:58:00,920
games will get will move a ton, and they also

1258
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,679
can move back if someone else, If someone decides to

1259
00:58:03,719 --> 00:58:06,519
oppose it, so I'm gonna call it Western Kentucky pick.

1260
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,360
We did the full breakdown of that one already, so

1261
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,679
as always, if you miss the show, if you miss

1262
00:58:14,719 --> 00:58:16,280

00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,719

1277
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,039
We'd love to hear from you. As far as the

1278
00:58:57,119 --> 00:58:59,679
parlay is concerned, we're up against it, so I'm gonna

1279
00:58:59,719 --> 00:59:04,800
recapp our parlay. We had a tremendous week one of

1280
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:10,280
parlays and plus fifteen point two two units. Today's is

1281
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,440
a six to one. It's just a three teamer. Everything

1282
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:15,840
is minus one ten. I'm going with Western Kentucky pick.

1283
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,039
Brian Power is going with Wilmington, kent State under one

1284
00:59:20,159 --> 00:59:22,400
sixty and a half. And then we've got another team

1285
00:59:22,519 --> 00:59:26,800
total from Rob Bino Xavier team total over seventy nine

1286
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,440
and a half. Fast today's parlay. Let's see if we

1287
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:30,760
can start the week off strong.

1288
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 2: We will be back.

1289
00:59:32,639 --> 00:59:36,239
Speaker 3: I'll be well rested for tomorrow's slate. We'll be back

1290
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,920

court Press. We'll see you guys in the morning.

1292
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 4: Smash that like button.
