1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in everyone. It is Thursday and it's

2
00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:11,560
time for full Court Press. As always, we come on

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,400
and recap the night before on this show.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Rob not a good night for me.

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: I went oh and three last night, and you know,

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,079
I always, I mean, I'm gonna look back at my night.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,679
Speaker 2: Win or lose.

8
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,679
Speaker 1: But the concerning thing for me last night is I

9
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:27,839
was it was an O and three where I was

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,519
just playing wrong, like I had two I had two

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,200
games move against me. Typically like that's not the end

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,560
of the world. You know, I listen like, you're not

13
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:39,280
You're not going to be on the right side of

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,320
every single line move. It's very it's like sometimes they're

15
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:45,719
gonna gonna get shoved back in your face. I don't

16
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:47,840
usually like look at that and say, oh well, it's

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,320
like the.

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Game has no chance.

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,799
Speaker 1: But last night, for me, it kind of felt like

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,880
I was on the wrong side in my game. So

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,520
you know, I mean, I guess if you're gonna have

22
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,679
an O and three, you it, it's not the worst

23
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,399
time in the world to have it after you've won

24
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:04,280
for four straight days. So I was coming in on

25
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,079
four straight winning days, kind of gave it all, kind

26
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,959
of gave it all back in one shot, but up

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,000
sixty units January February combined, so been a really good

28
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,879
run into March, had a great start to March. Gave

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,280
back my great start last night, Rob, so only one

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000
thing to do, try to get it back today. How

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,319
was your Wednesday night?

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,159
Speaker 3: It was good two and zero last night, both totals

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,319
one where we didn't talk about the game, but we

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,400
talked a little bit about the University off air North

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,480
Florida West Georgia over the total one fifty nine and

36
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,640
a half. Got there fairly easily, was off to a

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,519
flying start from the get go. And then the game

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480
that we left here for folks, Adam was a client

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560
play that I gave out the Florida State team total

40
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,719
over against Pittsburgh, and anybody who watched that game, if

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,840
you had Florida State, you absolutely want to.

42
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,719
Speaker 4: You know, go seek shelter so you don't harm yourself.

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: But even if you're like myself and you had over

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,560
seventy two and a half, you're thinking, why am I

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,680
sweating this? At the end of the game, there was

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,199
absolutely no reason to be sweating that. But FSU went

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,879
stone cold, Pittsburgh got red hot, Florida State does get

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,159
there in the end by a couple of points on

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,680
free throws, but it wasn't two and zero. It's been

50
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:29,879
a really good week to start this week. He had

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,479
a four and one on top of that, so six

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,199
and one the last two days. We'll see we can

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,759
keep that rolling here today.

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you bailed us out last night. I

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,800
you know, two and three for the joint package, it's

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,319
not the end.

57
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: Of the world.

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I suppose if you are on mine and Rob's all access,

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,439
which is you get all of our plays. I guess

60
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:54,199
for me the two bright spots, I suppose one our

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,680
little Daytime Action got there.

62
00:02:55,719 --> 00:03:00,759
Speaker 2: Florida Gulf Coast pulled away in the end. If that

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,639
was an interesting one.

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that covered seven the way that played out,

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,439
although they were far more dominant than that. If you

66
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,439
were watching that game, like I texted CT and I

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,800
was like, you should bet Florida Golf Coast second half,

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Like they should destroy this team in the second half.

69
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,319
It's just it took them to the final three minutes

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,240
to actually do it. But they get there, win by

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,800
eleven in the end. And then our feature game went

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,639
extremely well, Arkansas on the over, no doubter right there

73
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:34,000
for the for the feature I am kicking myself that

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
I didn't circle back and have Arkansas on my card

75
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,800
because could have got that seven and a half at

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,120
one point and what a no sweat result. That was

77
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,680
big time bounce pack for them off of the Florida loss. So, Rob,

78
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:51,199
that brings us to today's feature game. We have a

79
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:54,560
lot of conference tournaments to talk about today, but we're

80
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,960
going to start in the Big ten on Peacock, the

81
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:00,439
big game of the night for the Power Comp Princess

82
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,639
if you will. Michigan hits the road Carver Hawkeye Arena,

83
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,039
and the first thought I had here, Rob was, boy,

84
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,159
if this was still a Fran McCaffrey Iowa team, I'd

85
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,159
probably like I'd probably be interested in Iowa as the

86
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:19,399
home dog. But you know, as much as I was

87
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,000
probably better than they've been the last couple of years,

88
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:25,360
or I think that's debatable at this point, I just

89
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,560
don't know if I want to go against this Michigan

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,680
team with a Iowa team that doesn't have a multitude

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,079
of scoring options. So that's sort of where I want

92
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,120
to start the handicap because you know, I'm not ruling

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Iowa out as a dog, and I see Shane Russell

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,560
says he likes Iowa plus the points and those are

95
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,040
as a healthy number to beginning at Carver Hawkeye, especially

96
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,000
when you've got a team in Michigan that's wrapped up

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,199
the Big Ten regular season. But the other point I'll

98
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,600
throw to you, Rob is, you know, Michigan's got to

99
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:55,879
be seeing their peers, the Florida's, the Dukes. They haven't

100
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,839
taken a night off. They're just still out there taking

101
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,720
teams out in body bag. How bad does Michigan want

102
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,279
to do that here?

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: Well, if I just refer back to Dusty May postsall

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,759
season long, I would think they want to do it.

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,519
Dusty May still, you know, as of ten days ago,

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000
talking about how the team hasn't hit its ceiling yet.

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: And I think you make the.

108
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: Better point here, Adam, is that no, Michigan has nothing

109
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,120
to play for as far as Big Ten Conference tournament

110
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:29,079
seeding is concerned. However, the log jam for those number

111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,600
one seeds in the NCAA tournament, the four number ones,

112
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:38,959
you know, they get to become interchangeable almost each night now,

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,959
and with a loss, you could find yourself. I don't

114
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,240
think Michigan would find themselves on the wrong side of

115
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,000
it with one loss. But if they went into the

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,959
Big Ten Conference tournament and lost their first outing, you know,

117
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,160
a couple of those and all of a sudden, you

118
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:55,439
could be replaced by one of the other four teams

119
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,639
that's had a really good season and could get hot

120
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:02,759
and win their conference tournament. So for Michigan, there's some incentive.

121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,759
For Carver Hawkeye Arena, it's a tough place to play.

122
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,040
For Iowa, it really is the Bennett sturt show, right,

123
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:14,639
I mean, if not for starts, and he's as good

124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240
as it gets. I mean for those who haven't seen

125
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Iowa this year and haven't seen this point guard play.

126
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:29,560
And you know, I kind of liken him somewhat to

127
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,680
Kentucky's Tyler Hero from body frame from vertical ability, But

128
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,199
Bennett sturtch handles the ball fifteen times better than Tyler

129
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Hero does. So you have that huge combination of shooting, jumping,

130
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,360
a vertical ability, and of course getting to the rim

131
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,639
whenever he wants it. He'll be a focal point of

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Michigan's defense. I just questioned whether or not Iowa has

133
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,199
the ability to stop Michigan's front line. I mean, Iowa's

134
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,480
got some size, but it's not the type size that

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,759
Michigan has here as far as quality size is concerned.

136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:17,120
So a motivated Michigan I wouldn't probably think twice here. However,

137
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:20,199
we do have to go back to the fact that

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,759
they've been overpriced in Big Ten play for the majority

139
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:27,399
of the season. They've won a whole rack of Big

140
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,079
Ten games that they haven't covered, and so this could

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,360
fall into that category very easily. This could be, you know,

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,000
seventy nine to seventy two Michigan and an Iowa cover.

143
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,720
Iowa was obviously going to play with one hundred percent

144
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,920
focused motivation last home game here for Iowa all of

145
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:47,600
that stuff.

146
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: I do fear the fact that.

147
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: Iowa could get absolutely get hit with a knockout punch

148
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:57,199
and not be able to recover, you know what I mean.

149
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,319
Like you refer to Fran McCaffrey's teams. Frean mcaff these

150
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,199
teams could get down fifteen, sixteen and three three point

151
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:08,120
late three pointers later be right in the game. If

152
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,399
you're friend, this isn't that team as far as offense

153
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:16,399
is concerned. So I don't really have a firm side opinion.

154
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,399
I would think this game gets over one forty six

155
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:24,199
and a half. If you play Michigan, your hopes of

156
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,600
making this a seventy three sixty six type game aren't good,

157
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,639
just not good if you're Iowa. And I'm sure they

158
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:35,639
don't want to play up and down ninety four foot tempo,

159
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,279
but I don't know that they can help that in

160
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:42,080
portions of this game. For me, I think the money

161
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,559
moved toward the over here, which I see. I see

162
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,799
quite a few, in fact, more one forty seven and

163
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,240
a halfs now than anything. It's raised up two points.

164
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,559
I think that's probably correct. I would look that direction here.

165
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:56,919
I wouldn't go much higher, though, I mean, you know,

166
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480
one forty eight and a half is probably your limit here.

167
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,559
I think forty nine you have to stop and think

168
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,879
a little bit. But at this number one forty seven

169
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:05,159
and a half, I would play over.

170
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,279
Speaker 2: See Rob.

171
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,399
Speaker 1: The problem is I I do have a I do

172
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,000
have a front.

173
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: So here's the thing.

174
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:15,799
Speaker 1: Like Shane saying it's a five to six point win

175
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,519
for Michigan byuses Michigan win seventy two sixty six, here's

176
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960
my issue is if I were to just trust my number.

177
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Then I have a pretty strong side opinion toward Iowa,

178
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,480
especially in that nine and a half range, because my

179
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,679
number is like five point nine, right like, And initially

180
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320
I see that, and I say, well, you're probably too

181
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,879
low there, because Michigan is Michigan, and they've they you know,

182
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,440
we've seen what they can do to teams. But also

183
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:45,919
rob that stretch, that stretch of over a month where

184
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,240
Michigan could not cover spread like this, right and they

185
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,399
and they haven't really covered spread spreads like this consistently

186
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,519
the majority of the season. So you know, I don't

187
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,960
think maybe that I you know, I look at five

188
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,960
point nine, I said, well, there's no way this the

189
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,360
game should be priced that way, right, There's no way

190
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,600
Michigan should only be a five and a half to

191
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,720
six point favorite. But like, I do think that it's

192
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,799
it's reasonable to think that nine and a half or nine.

193
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,519
Speaker 2: I'm seeing a couple of nines right now.

194
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: It looks like we're trending back towards eight and a

195
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,399
half most places. I think it's reasonable to say, oh, well,

196
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:21,919
if you got a nine or nine and a half,

197
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,879
that that's too hot. Now, what could help you there?

198
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,399
One the fact that it's Carver Hawke, it's their last

199
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,360
home game, and Michigan has a very big game on deck,

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,320
which you know, I guess theoretically could be a look

201
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,799
ahead spot, right like you talked about, they've already had

202
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,320
the Big Ten wrapped up, so they could go lost

203
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720
loss here and they still outright win the Big Ten.

204
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,000
But if you're looking at these final two games, I

205
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,960
mean Michigan stayed at home to close out the season

206
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,159
on Sunday, Rob that that's certainly the game that's probably

207
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:55,240
got your eye a little bit more. But then again,

208
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:58,000
I go back to the fact that, well, like theoretically

209
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,279
Florida was in a similar spot, and we've seen Duke

210
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,200
in the same spot a couple of times, and those

211
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,840
teams went out and won by thirty. And I kind

212
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,919
of have Michigan as as they're in the same vein

213
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,840
as those teams.

214
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,919
Speaker 2: So that's you know, I guess I have that in

215
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,799
the back of my head.

216
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,879
Speaker 1: But when you look at Michigan, the games that they

217
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:20,480
seem to like really cover right are like the Illinois

218
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:22,559
game where they only need to basically win the game,

219
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:25,879
the Purdue game where they go to Westlapa and win

220
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,159
ninety one to eighty. We'll get some of the other

221
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,480
ones in the same stretch. Obviously, they destroyed Ucla, but

222
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,480
like they didn't cover against Northwestern, they didn't cover against Michigan,

223
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,399
and then go back to January, they didn't cover a

224
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,200
single one of these big spreads.

225
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: So I do lean toward Iowa.

226
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: The rebound. You you made a point about the front court.

227
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,039
Rob i was a bottom ten rebounding team in the country.

228
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,200
There could be a there could be a lot of

229
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,080
second chance easy buckets here for Michigan in this game,

230
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,639
which is a concern. This is not as strong of

231
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,840
an opinion for me as yesterday's feature, where I really

232
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,120
like Arkansas, but that number does feel high.

233
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: I think I'd have a hard time talking.

234
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: Anyone off of Iowa at nine or better, and I

235
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,840
guess I'll kind of leave it at that.

236
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Do you have anything else to add there?

237
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: They're never in this situation this year, so we have

238
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,960
no and in fact to I don't know the last

239
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,799
time Iowa was a nine and a half point home

240
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,960
underdog to begin with, It just doesn't happen. However, all

241
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,159
that being said, home court hasn't really been that favorable

242
00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:31,159
to Iowa this year to play a power team in Illinois,

243
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,639
lose the game straight up by six play perdue, lose

244
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,519
by twenty one at home, win a bunch of close

245
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,279
games against lesser competition, did beat Nebraska here fifty seven

246
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,000
to fifty two.

247
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:46,159
Speaker 4: But again, in the.

248
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: World that I think in, I just don't think you

249
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:51,720
can get Michigan into fifty seven to fifty two. It

250
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,240
would be favorable, but you're just not going to get

251
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,840
this team to play the type of game. So for me,

252
00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:00,440
one more time, I left it Bayou say in seventy

253
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,080
two sixty six, because I use seventy three sixty six

254
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,879
as an example that I don't think can happen here.

255
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: I would be looking over one forty seven and a half.

256
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the final thing, I'll add as

257
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,200
I saw another comment in the chat that says Iowa

258
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,360
doesn't get to sixty five.

259
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,519
Speaker 2: I don't think that's how this game is gonna go.

260
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,879
Speaker 1: I think if Iowa doesn't cover, it's because they gave

261
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,639
up ninety. Like it's just Michigan just had, like, you know,

262
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:29,519
another one of their offensive like efficient offensive performances, and

263
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,679
they and they put up ninety and gave up seventy.

264
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:35,039
Speaker 2: Seven something like that.

265
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,919
Speaker 1: Like, so I'm with you, Rob, I think it's more

266
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,639
likely that if Iowa loses this game and doesn't cover,

267
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:43,919
they just got run out and it probably goes over.

268
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: Again. That's that's I think it's tough, tough game.

269
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,159
Speaker 1: From that, Collin says, throw Michigan in the money line

270
00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:53,960
parlay they're gonna win. Yeah, I mean, but like, if

271
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,399
what are you do you rule out the fact that

272
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,440
i would just has like their signature like big F here.

273
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean that, I don't know.

274
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: It's it's it's tough to see for me, but it's

275
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,000
not impossible that like Iowa would win this game with

276
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,879
Michigan having Michigan State coming up.

277
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:13,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

278
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Tough, tough to make. I guess it's tough to come

279
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120
out and make a case for that. But Titan CT

280
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,360
saying it's kind of like Siowa. Yeah, listen, I think

281
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,919
if you get nine or better from at least from

282
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,360
a numbers perspective, you've got a.

283
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: Decent bet on Iowa. That that's uh yeah, we.

284
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:32,039
Speaker 1: Can just leave it right there, all right, Rob, here

285
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,720
is I see the board moving as it often does

286
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:41,960
during this show. So what I'm gonna do because I'm

287
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200
gonna talk about a game that I think i've I

288
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,840
just want to pull up the number. I'm gonna give

289
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,399
out my leg of the parlay right now, and it

290
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,960
is a client play. I'm going to my odd screen

291
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,679
here if if I can ever get rid of the

292
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:59,360
seven hundred pop ups on odds Logic right now, I

293
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,080
can get back to the UH to the odd screen

294
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,759
and see what the current price of this game is.

295
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: And here we go. So yeah, all right, this one's

296
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,080
moved quite a bit.

297
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: So since we're probably gonna do a three team or anyway,

298
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,559
I'm gonna put it in to our parlay. I saw

299
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:19,559
Colin and a couple others talking about this game. I'm

300
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:22,360
gonna go to the Ohio Valley and one of my

301
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,720
client plays today. I have a four percent play on

302
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:29,960
Simo Southeast Missouri State on the money line, which was

303
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,159
minus one twenty five when I bet it and is

304
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,320
now considerably higher. So do what you will with that.

305
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,639
You know, what I always say is like you could

306
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
you could put your risk. You could you could risk

307
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,120
what you would risk on a four percent moneyline parlay

308
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240
at minus one twenty five and just play it. A

309
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,320
little bit smaller. You could try to hop on in play,

310
00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:53,360
or you could just bite the bullet and lay a

311
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,759
little bit more. Because I do think that this is

312
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,519
the right side, and so do what you will with that.

313
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:01,000
So I want to take you back to last night

314
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:04,960
where your boy was forced to stay up until about

315
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,519
midnight watching Little Rock play basketball. It was as painful

316
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,480
of a first half as I watched in a long time.

317
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,879
At one point they had missed nineteen straight shots. I

318
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,559
think that was the final tally. I know you said

319
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,320
they shoot it sideways, and I don't think I've ever

320
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,039
seen a better representation of that than what I watched

321
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:29,679
in the first half last night. They managed to come

322
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,039
back and take a lead in that game with like

323
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,519
five minutes to go. Now, the thing that I'm not

324
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:39,960
gonna harp on the game last night, listen, Little Rock

325
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,919
played a terrible first half. They pressed linden Wood in

326
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,600
the second half, came all the way back to take

327
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,919
a lead. Linden Wood made some big plays to win

328
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:50,720
and cover, and honestly they probably deserved too.

329
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,159
Speaker 2: But the thing that.

330
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: Put me on the Simo side right out of the

331
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,600
gate today is I think an is Futrell is going

332
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,360
to be out for this game. The reason I say

333
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,799
that is he suffered an injury early in this game

334
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,240
or early in last night's game. He was fighting it,

335
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,240
he was limping, he looked like he tweaked a handy

336
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,920
rob And as someone that's had the hamstring injury a

337
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,519
couple times during my sports career, which was a very

338
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,000
very long time ago, I can tell you that when

339
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,519
you sleep on that hamstring and have to try like

340
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,119
you're not playing twenty four hours later. Like you might

341
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,799
be able to fight through a game that you're already in,

342
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,799
but as soon as the hammy, like you know, as

343
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:37,279
soon as you go to bed and stuff like that,

344
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:37,599
I just.

345
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: Don't think you're playing twenty four hours later.

346
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: And of course, Futrell has been one of the best

347
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,720
players in the Ohio Valley this year, seventeen point four

348
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:52,039
points per game. For that Linden would team I truly

349
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:53,960
don't think. I don't see how they beat a good

350
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:57,279
team without him. You know, he tried to play last night,

351
00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,799
but he only scored four points. He was two for

352
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,799
nine and he was almost like a net negative when

353
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,920
he was out there for points in time. But like

354
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,759
I think, if he's not out there that that is

355
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:13,119
big time concerning for me with you know, against a

356
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,839
Semo team that, in my opinion, might be better at

357
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,359
linden Wood, Like they play similar to Lindenwood, but they

358
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,759
might be a better version of them. So I took

359
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,160
Simo that that money line at whatever it is, is

360
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,240
going to go into our money line parlay. It's a

361
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:28,440
four percent play for me at minus one twenty five.

362
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Rob talk to me about how that that. Talk to

363
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,119
me about the total if you can, because you've kind

364
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,079
of nailed totals with these teams. That's got to hurt

365
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,119
Lindon would maybe you know, maybe their pace and you know,

366
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,400
does this game become out slower because of that?

367
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: You know season history, the two games that they played

368
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,440
at him are three hundred and sixty degree polar opposites

369
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:52,880
one sixty four total the first time around with linden

370
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,079
Wood as the winner. Second time around, Simo wins by twelve.

371
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,359
They only score one thirty four. That's a thirty point gap.

372
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Simo seemed to favor, and both teams won on the

373
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:09,279
other's home court, so home court had nothing to do

374
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,440
with this. They both played well as the visitor, but

375
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:18,119
Southeast Missouri, for what it's worth, they got this better

376
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,119
at the second game, and it was a thirty point gap,

377
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,599
and it's not necessarily because of pace. And the first

378
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,279
game was Jack Rabbit's style, up and down the floor,

379
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,119
huge eighty one possession game, seventy two possession game. The

380
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,720
second time around is still extremely quick, only one thirty four.

381
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,599
Lindenwood didn't shoot it very well at all, three of

382
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
sixteen from three. So Simo found a way to defend them.

383
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:47,119
To your point about anyas futurel the two games against

384
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,200
Simo this year, twenty eight and twenty two points, fifty

385
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,880
points in those two games. And just to accentuate how

386
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,920
the injury comes into play, last night, where he still

387
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,519
probably had adrenaline flowing, he took eighteen shots in the

388
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,119
first game. He took thirteen shots. In the second game.

389
00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,039
He took nine shots total last night. It kind of

390
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:13,359
shows you that he didn't even get the double digit shots,

391
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,720
that it was bothersome and anybody here, like you said,

392
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,519
anybody listening or watching today, those types of soft tissue injuries,

393
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:28,720
they just don't overnight, they don't get better. I'm sure

394
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:33,160
that the training room has something they can attempt to

395
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,680
do to have him gut out two hours of basketball

396
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,039
here with a But then you know that every time

397
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:42,000
he goes to the bench, things tend to stiffen up.

398
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:44,559
Every time he or excuse me, when you stopped for halftime,

399
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,759
things tend to stiffen up.

400
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: I think it's a huge advantage for CMO here.

401
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: You know the fact that they played the late game

402
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:54,759
and it was let's talk about the rest of the team.

403
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:57,640
It was a taxing effort for Linden. Would I mean

404
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,039
those weren't easy minutes. Being pre in the second half

405
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:04,759
isn't easy. It takes a lot of energy. I do

406
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:07,960
agree that the money obviously agrees Adam. This game was

407
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:10,079
pumped up to three and a half off of the

408
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,119
opener of one right away, and probably rightfully so. Here,

409
00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:17,599
tough break for Linden would with the injury. Tough break

410
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,839
for Linden would that they had to go deep into

411
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,240
the night in a very I don't want to call

412
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:28,440
it physical, but again I'll say taxing forty minutes to

413
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:32,119
get that win. I don't know simo makes complete and

414
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,799
total sense from a situational and a fundamental but where

415
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:37,640
the total is concerned, I will say, really tough to

416
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,799
gauge when you're talking about two games that had a

417
00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:44,599
thirty point variance. Here number six kind of in the

418
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,279
middle one forty seven and a half.

419
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 4: I don't know.

420
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: I don't think I would play it. I think Simo

421
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,559
looks like a more attractive play on the side.

422
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,039
Speaker 1: Colin Gregory says, Adam got a great number. You guys

423
00:21:58,079 --> 00:21:59,880
would have got a great number two if you were

424
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,759
on the double. The firepower CVV package had that out

425
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,200
this morning before the move and pretty much just tried

426
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,359
to front run like, hey, like I've I've had that

427
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,640
injury before. Your boy Rob played pretty competitive soccer back

428
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,200
in his day. That was that was the sport that

429
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,160
I But my first love was baseball. But I couldn't

430
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,319
really hit a curveball, which became an issue for me.

431
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,359
So I had to become a soccer player because they're like,

432
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,400
you get you know, you can't hit a buck ninety

433
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,680
in like high school baseball. They're not gonna they don't

434
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,319
they don't, you know, they don't care how good your

435
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:34,200
defense is. So yeah, I've had that hamstring injury a

436
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,640
number of times, and it is you're just not doing

437
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,599
anything the next day, even if you're built much better

438
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,559
than me, which most are.

439
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: You're still not still not getting through it.

440
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,079
Speaker 1: The next day, so I saw that and I said, man,

441
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:50,759
if Lindenwood does win this game, I'm probably gonna want

442
00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:54,240
to be on whoever they're playing. And so, yeah, we

443
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,200
did get ourselves a good number. Let's see if it matters.

444
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,519
Hopefully it does, all.

445
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Right, bye.

446
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,599
Speaker 1: He was texting me memes right now. I see he's

447
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,599
in a good mood. So we're gonna use Bayou's in

448
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:09,960
the parlay today. He's he's spelled it out and we're

449
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,119
gonna talk about his game because I have an opinion here.

450
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,920
So this is going in the parlay BYU says best

451
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,119
bet Loyola Colgate over one fifty one and a half.

452
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,200
So he wants to head to a Patriot League semi final.

453
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,680
It's right down the street from my house. I'm not

454
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,319
going to it because I'm being a good boy today.

455
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: So I can go to.

456
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Brian Powers College Town tomorrow Athens, Ohio with like fifteen

457
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:40,839
of his friends and apparently we're apparently we're getting tuned

458
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,160
up before a nine o'clock tip per him. You know,

459
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,119
I don't know how much I'll partake in that, but

460
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,559
it's it's gonna be a time, let's put it that way.

461
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:52,119
So sit in this one out in Hamilton, New York tonight.

462
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:55,720
But Bia says best bet Loyola Colgate over fifty one

463
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,240
and a half. This is the exact same game that

464
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:01,880
was eighty two eighty two before two weeks ago. Colgates

465
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,960
off two losses and thrives in conference play. Loyola plays

466
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,880
with pace and compliments this game style. The final thing

467
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,759
I'll throw out you, Rob, is they didn't have Jalen

468
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:16,559
Cox last game. That's massively concerning. He's by far Colgate's

469
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,480
best player, and he sat out a pretty meaningful game

470
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,680
against Navy, because had they been able to win that game,

471
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:25,000
they would have been able to get the two. Because

472
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,039
they lost, they actually lost the two seed and only

473
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:30,400
became and and they're only the three, which, as you

474
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,799
know if you follow the Patriot League, is very meaningful

475
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,599
since the higher seed hosts in this tournament. I think

476
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,960
Jalen Cox will be back tonight. I think it was

477
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,319
a concussion. I think it was an abundance of caution

478
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,759
that he sat at the finale. I can't see him

479
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:48,359
sitting this game, so if Cox is back and everything

480
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,759
is what you would consider normal, Robino, do you agree

481
00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:54,359
that with Bayu that there's gonna be points in this game?

482
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,519
Speaker 4: Well, then I'll take.

483
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 3: Bayou's regulous one step further and just say the first

484
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,720
time they played it was one sixty six eighty six

485
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:07,319
to eighty. So you had the same game played twice

486
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,759
the same exact way twice. At the end of regulation.

487
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,720
You've got almost the same score twice. Why would today

488
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:18,160
be any different? Jalen Cox, to your point, was important

489
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,559
in both of these games. He played both times against

490
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,720
Loyola Maryland. I think twenty five and twenty eight is

491
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,599
what I have right in front of me here. So

492
00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:31,839
with him in the lineup, it stands to reason that,

493
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,480
you know, these teams played each other twice, nobody cared

494
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,440
to change style. Colgate won it twice. I'm sure Loyola

495
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:45,319
Maryland in their minds, thinks that they can win this

496
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,599
style of game against them. The losses, as by you mentioned,

497
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:52,200
the most recent one was in overtime by three points.

498
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,200
The one prior was only by six. They were in

499
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:58,000
both of these games each time, so it's funny too.

500
00:25:58,039 --> 00:26:01,880
The top two pace teams in the page, and because

501
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,319
the Patriot is such a slow as molasses type league,

502
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,960
the top two paced teams probably don't rank in the

503
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,559
top one hundred in the country because they just don't

504
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,200
you know, they don't get that they go fast, but nobody.

505
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,599
Speaker 4: Else goes faster.

506
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: When you average out all their games, the numbers look

507
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,200
a little lower than expected. But when they faced each other,

508
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:25,039
it's ben up tempo, it's ben high scoring, it's been

509
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,599
really good shooting, it's been little resistance on defense. So

510
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,359
it's hard to argue one fifty one and a half

511
00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:36,599
when you've seen one sixty or better twice already. And

512
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,240
I don't think, you know, just trying to use my

513
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,799
coach's mind. I don't think either coach would have any

514
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,720
reason to stray from that at this point in time.

515
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,759
Speaker 4: Conference tournament season.

516
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,519
Speaker 3: You are who you are, and I don't think you

517
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,599
devise a completely different game plan at this you know

518
00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,119
here now thirty games in to accommodate what's happen in

519
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,960
the first two times, and the only team that would

520
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,559
consider that would be the loser, which was Loyola twice.

521
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,119
I don't think Loyola is going to go that route because,

522
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,640
like I said, earlier. I have to think that they

523
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,960
firmly believe they can beat this team third time routes.

524
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,720
So double revenge spot. If you're looking to play side,

525
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:17,519
and you like double revenge inside conference tournament play, then

526
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:22,039
you like the Loyola side in this game. But Keith's

527
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,200
point was about total and I can't you just can't

528
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,319
disagree the numbers in a spot where you know, I

529
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,960
say it a lot in mathematics, do the work for

530
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:32,759
you here, and they seem to do it for us

531
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:33,319
in this game.

532
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll talk about the side before we move on,

533
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,519
so you know you want to talk about like set

534
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:44,440
the most recent game, Colgate looked like they were going

535
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,559
to pull away and cover, and Loyola went nuts from

536
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,279
three in the second half to tie that game and

537
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:51,079
push it into overtime.

538
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: I think they hit like fifteen threes in the game.

539
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,319
Speaker 1: Now, that is something that a couple of years back

540
00:27:57,519 --> 00:27:59,799
you would never have said that was a possibility against

541
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:03,039
Cold Gate. Those teams with Tucker Richardson, Keegan records some

542
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,279
really good defensive Colgate teams. This is really not that

543
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,759
like they you know, last year I thought they were.

544
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,119
I thought Jeff Woodward was this big that they had

545
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,319
it's big six to eleven plotting big man that slowed

546
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,720
them down. But at least he really clogged up the

547
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:20,839
paint and he could defend the rim, and and you know,

548
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,839
they had some redeeming qualities in that regard. Now it's

549
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,559
kind of this like one three one zone, which will

550
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,480
work at times, but I don't know this Colgate team.

551
00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:32,400
They lacked that size, they lacked that athleticism in my opinion,

552
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,079
on the defensive end, where yeah, like Loyol is probably

553
00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:37,519
gonna get some looks from three again.

554
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: But I actually would lean.

555
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:42,319
Speaker 1: I would still probably if I had to lay, if

556
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:44,279
I had to play the side here, Rob, I think

557
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,279
I would still lay the six and a half With Colgate, obviously,

558
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:51,440
I'm assuming Jalen Cox is back, But they they ran,

559
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:53,720
they got into their offense and did whatever they want

560
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:57,319
wanted in both of those meetings, and they really didn't

561
00:28:57,359 --> 00:28:59,799
look that bad for thirty minutes in that Navy game

562
00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:02,440
of the weekend without Cox, And I truly believe had

563
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,799
they had him that they would have been right in this.

564
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:07,279
Speaker 2: Right in that game and had a chance to win

565
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,200
like he is.

566
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: So I'll just make this statement before we move on

567
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920
Jalen Cox's hands down the most improved player in this

568
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:16,960
league from last year to this year. Last year he

569
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:20,480
struggled kind of as the starting point guard. He's one

570
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,079
of the best players in this league. And like, I

571
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
don't think Loyola has got much of an answer for

572
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Colgate's offense with with Cox pull in the strings and

573
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,440
you know what they can do. So yeah, if you

574
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,920
get if you get Loyola hit in some threes, this

575
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,759
could soar over. And if they don't, I think you're

576
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:39,759
gonna get a Colgate cover. So good one by you.

577
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,079
I don't know what the Wayne's World meme you just

578
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,680
texted me was in reference to, but if it's to that,

579
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,960
that's great. So hopefully we're uh but uh hopefully and

580
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:51,720
by you're in until further notice.

581
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,519
Speaker 2: So you hit this one, you're back in tomorrow.

582
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,759
Speaker 1: We got to We were like two three teamers away

583
00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,000
from getting back to even. We had that great run

584
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:02,400
we got above even by like a unit. We haven't

585
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,240
hit one since, so we gotta we gotta, we gotta

586
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,079
get a three teamer here. Rob will close it out

587
00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:09,119
before the end of the show, but in the meantime,

588
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,359
we're heading back to the main board, if my computer

589
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,279
will ever allow it.

590
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: All Right, here we go.

591
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,759
Speaker 1: We got mad Max. He says, great price on Temple

592
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:23,440
due to recent results. I think they'll have an advantage

593
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,920
in the rebound turnover battle playing at home, playing with revenge. Well, Rob,

594
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,200
I'll let you get to the point on your odd screen.

595
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,119
We're gonna talk Temple basketball. I know this is a

596
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,079
team that you've brought up a couple of times in

597
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,039
recent you know, recent times on the show. They're at

598
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:44,279
home tonight against two Lane, which my two Lane's another

599
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:47,319
one of those teams. My number loves them basically every

600
00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:50,000
time they play. I wonder if it's just because they've

601
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,960
they've underachieved kind of like from what they were I

602
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,880
thought they might be this year, but Temple man what like?

603
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,400
This was a team that when I went to the

604
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,319
Temple game Super Bowl Sunday, I think it was right

605
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,079
around that time I went to a Temple game at noon,

606
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,559
I think it was Super Bowl Sunday. They were tied

607
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,680
for first in the American on that day and they

608
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:19,200
lost that game to FAU. They have six straight losses, Rob.

609
00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:20,920
This was a team that, like six games in the

610
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,000
American season, was in a tie for first. They're now

611
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:26,839
in the bottom four of this league, So what do

612
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,160
you even make of that? And do you have any

613
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,759
interest in the great price on Temple taking them in

614
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:36,359
the free fall that they're currently in. This game is

615
00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:39,799
at the Lea Chorus Center in Philly tonight. Temple TWU Lane,

616
00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:41,359
how are you seeing this one?

617
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: Well, you've got season history right, Tulane won the first

618
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,279
time seventy seven to sixty six. Here's my problem with

619
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:53,880
Temple in this game, and especially with Temple laying points

620
00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:57,839
is we all know that Ron Hunter's gonna play like

621
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:04,039
that junkie zone defense that you have to shoot. You

622
00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:07,200
have to make perimeter shots against this team to beat them,

623
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,559
and in the first game Temple didn't do so six

624
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:15,359
of twenty five twenty four from three point range. To

625
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:18,079
Lane's gonna make Temple shoot threes, or at least attempt

626
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:22,480
to make Temple shoot threes again. Temple is the tenth

627
00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:27,680
best shooting team in the AAC, which I guess if

628
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,359
you wanted to switch that around, you would say they're

629
00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:34,000
the fourth worst three point shooting team in the league.

630
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:38,279
So for two Lane, the style is a hand and

631
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,680
glove fit for them. On the defensive end, play, the

632
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,519
style of defense that they play, forcing teams to shoot threes,

633
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:48,079
play a team that can't shoot threes. And if one

634
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:52,599
of these nights happens where Temple makes shots, can they

635
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,480
win by five?

636
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,319
Speaker 4: Maybe they can.

637
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: On the other side of the equation here, tu Lane's

638
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,759
frustrating to watch offensively at him because sometimes I think

639
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:07,839
they're way too LACKA days ago, Lego Rowan Brumbaugh is

640
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,319
a great player. We just referenced Bennett Sturts a little

641
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:16,160
while ago for Iowa, right, Rowan Brumbaugh is kind of

642
00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:20,480
in the mold of Benett Sturtz, maybe a little bit

643
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:23,519
of a lesser man's Bennett Sturts, but same type of player.

644
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,240
And there's times where he's out there where the passes

645
00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:34,279
are too casual, the handle is too casual. But when

646
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:36,559
he is not too casual, he's a hell of an

647
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:39,519
offensive player and it makes everybody else around him better.

648
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:43,440
They do have scoring ability on the Tulane's side. I

649
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,720
don't know that I would be on Temple here, to

650
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:47,920
be honest with. Total's gone up one point to one

651
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
forty four and a half now the first time around

652
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,160
the game hit one forty three that sounds about right here.

653
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,279
If Temple shoots the way they've been shooting all season long,

654
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,440
as you mentioned, in a current free fall, that doesn't

655
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,000
help them.

656
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 4: Out any here.

657
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't know that I could get in that boat

658
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,279
with Temple here simply based on what I said. I

659
00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:10,800
think the defensive style of Tulane is extremely helpful in

660
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,360
this game because of the fact that Temple just doesn't

661
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,519
They're not good at what Tulane does best. Defensively, you

662
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:21,920
have to be able to overcome their defense by shooting

663
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,880
and real quick here. As far as standings are concerned,

664
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,840
if you are Temples, they're separated. These two teams are

665
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,280
separated by one game inside the standings, so a Temple

666
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,480
win could pull them even with Tulane probably give them

667
00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:37,679
a little bit of a tie breaker receiving is concerned.

668
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,079
But for Tulane, you can go up the ladder here

669
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:43,599
toward the five spot, in a tie for the five spot,

670
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,599
and you know you're always trying to climb into the

671
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:48,679
top four in these conference tournaments. So with one more

672
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,760
to play after this, well, actually they don't have one

673
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,920
more to play after this. Their season concludes here, so

674
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,199
it would be a massive tie breaker, and again I

675
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,519
talked about this the other day. When try to go

676
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:03,760
through these three and fourteen tiebreakers, you might as well

677
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,599
just wait till they tell you what it's going to be.

678
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,599
But I do think Tulane stylistically has a solid advantage

679
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:16,679
over Temple, especially in the Tulane defense Temple offense matchup.

680
00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, absolutely no part

681
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,960
of having to lay like five with Temple. They they

682
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,760
haven't had a home court advantage in a while. They

683
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,760
won't get many people at this game. I think I

684
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,639
texted you rob cheapest ticket to get into a Temple

685
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,320
game and sit upper as forty dollars.

686
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: What are we doing? How is that even possible?

687
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,599
Speaker 1: If John Cheney and Pepe Sanchez were there, I'd pay

688
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:48,280
forty bucks to sit upper to watch that team play.

689
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: This team?

690
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: Yeah like this team? No, So I understand why in

691
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,079
you know why they they don't. They haven't had much

692
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:01,519
of a crowd and a lot of these games you

693
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:04,159
talked about the Temple the two lane Roun Hunter zone.

694
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: I actually do think Temple can score against that.

695
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: So the other thing that that zone is not necessarily

696
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,199
it's it's different, but it's not necessarily a great zone defense,

697
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,360
and what I've noticed, the teams that will really score

698
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,480
on it are teams that can handle the ball because

699
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,280
he likes to pressure out of it too, so it's

700
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,400
like a pressure zone. They'll almost like pick it up

701
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,880
three quarter court and there's some layups on the back

702
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,679
end of that zone. If you if you're not turning

703
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,119
the ball over. Temple, to their credit, turns it over

704
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,440
as little as any team in the country. They they've

705
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,920
been a top five team in in least turnover.

706
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: The turnover rate is top five in America.

707
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: So the fact that they probably won't turn it over

708
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:48,480
a ton, I could definitely see them getting into some

709
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:49,440
makeable shots.

710
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 2: I would I would.

711
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:53,039
Speaker 1: Look toward the over because I think they're gonna give

712
00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:55,559
some points up as well. On the other end, especially if,

713
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,199
especially if two lane comes to play, which they've they've

714
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,880
been doing of late, I would say tu lane right now.

715
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:04,719
You know this is a team. You know the last

716
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,519
two games, Yeah, they got boat raced by Tulsa and

717
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,320
South Florida, but those are two of the best teams

718
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:16,639
in this league. Prior to that four straight wins. Prior

719
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:20,239
to that four straight wins, and they've been playing better,

720
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,719
So I think I think I would lean toward the

721
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,280
over because on the flip side, they did give up

722
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,840
ninety the past two games, so maybe maybe they've I

723
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,199
don't really know how to read into that, but the

724
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:34,679
fact that Temple might get some easier looks here and

725
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,960
the ability to break that zone makes me like the over.

726
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: Hope.

727
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,639
Speaker 1: We hope we did that justice mad Max. I wish

728
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:43,519
I had more of an opinion, but hopefully we gave

729
00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:45,360
you some things to think about. If you are going

730
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,119
to bet Temple and too Lane.

731
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: Let me let me give Max a positive, because I

732
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,800
didn't give him any positives. It's the second time around.

733
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,639
There's game film from Temple playing to Lane zone the

734
00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:01,159
first time, right, so it would expect adjustments, maybe some

735
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,159
improvement there. The opposite the other side of that is

736
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:08,559
Temple did handle the ball extremely well in that first game,

737
00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:12,199
only eight turnovers, only eleven percent of their possessions turned

738
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:15,960
into a turnover, and they still only scored sixty six.

739
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:19,000
So if you believe in the you know we've seen

740
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:22,079
it once and it was on the road, and this

741
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:23,800
time we're going to handle it because we know what

742
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,320
to expect, then you may like Temple as far as

743
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,000
especially as far as scoring is concerned, and Adam in

744
00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:33,800
that game, sixty seven free throw attempts to lane can

745
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,280
be to lane can foul. I've watched enough with too

746
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,519
Lane to know that they can foul, and they can

747
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:42,519
be fouled because again, brum block can take anybody off

748
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:43,119
to dribble, et.

749
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 4: Cetera, et cetera.

750
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,159
Speaker 3: So yeah, interesting game. I just don't know that I

751
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:50,159
would be in the market to lay points with Temple,

752
00:38:50,639 --> 00:38:52,199
even in a home situation.

753
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,119
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Garth.

754
00:38:56,199 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: First of all, Garth, I'll take the blame for Central

755
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,119
Connecticut State. That was I I was mushing anything I

756
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:05,400
touched yesterday, As I said, bad day.

757
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: For me, zero to three. So we'll, we'll, we'll.

758
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll take the blame for that one, he said, three three,

759
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,039
and the four losses on this eleven and four run

760
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:12,920
he was in the parlay.

761
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:15,519
Speaker 2: Well, we won't put you on the spot for that tonight.

762
00:39:15,639 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: But I know Rob loves to talk some Big West basketball,

763
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,199
especially when it pertains to totals, So he says he

764
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,880
likes Long Beach State under the one fifty and a

765
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,320
half tonight. The Big West, of course, is still finishing up, Rob,

766
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,400
They're regular season, so these are regular season games, and

767
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,920
this one's gonna be out. Are they still in the pyramid?

768
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,800
I think they are. I don't know, I know they

769
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,159
I know. Everything just says the beach. Now they abandoned

770
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:47,440
like whatever they used to be, like the forty nine ers.

771
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: Now it's just the beach.

772
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: So I guess we're headed to the beach where UC

773
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,159
Davis will be headed to take on Long Beach State.

774
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: Garth likes the under Rob.

775
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: You've done well with totals in this league, so talk

776
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,360
to me a little bit about UC Davis Long Beach

777
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,719
State really total or side whatever you got really quick.

778
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 3: Home floor is still referred to as the Walter pyramid.

779
00:40:11,679 --> 00:40:14,599
So we're still in the beach no matter how much

780
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,679
the Beach they want to throw at us. Long Beach

781
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:22,719
got off a huge, huge losing streak last time out

782
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,280
against Bakersfield eighty eight eighty seven. They win, but they

783
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,679
had played you see, Davis one time prior this year,

784
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,400
seventy one to fifty four in a fairly high seventy

785
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,760
possession game, but only one hundred and twenty five points score.

786
00:40:35,119 --> 00:40:38,400
The matchup here really does suit an under because it's

787
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,880
U see Davis as the opponent. Long Beach is a

788
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,719
team that you know, I've had success playing them against

789
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,599
other teams that go quick, and it's not really because

790
00:40:50,679 --> 00:40:53,639
Long Beach has added all that much. And even when

791
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:56,280
I hear decap, I'm not asking Long Beach to do

792
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,320
too much in those totals where I play over north Ridge,

793
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,079
Poly Slow, all these teams connected to or involved in

794
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:07,239
games with Long Beach. But here, jim Less, He's not

795
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,800
gonna play that way. Jim Less, d's up. Long Beach

796
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,719
is shooting woes probably show up one more time. In

797
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,920
that first game, they only scored fifty four points against

798
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:22,000
this you see Davis defense. So again, styles make everything,

799
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:26,639
matchups make everything. And you know again, I'll say this,

800
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,719
and Garth probably knows this already, but I'll repeat that

801
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:38,239
season long statistical stuff where odds makers, power ratings for sides,

802
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:42,719
numbers for totals. They get skewed in games like this.

803
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,960
Long Beach State gets skewed because they play cal Poly,

804
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,000
because they play north Ridge, because they play Fullerton, and

805
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:53,880
all those high scoring games get lumped into the whole overall,

806
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,599
and you get this picture of a high scoring team.

807
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:58,000
They're not. They're not a good shoot, they're not the

808
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,559
offensive team of the past Long Beat So when you

809
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:04,119
pair them against the team like you see Davis, that's

810
00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:07,239
going to slow you down, that's going to play defense

811
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:11,800
jim Less style. That season, long number goes down the

812
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,239
drain here, and I think you get a good price range.

813
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,679
One fifty and a half in a game like this

814
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,079
is kind of excessive. I just mentioned the first game

815
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:21,679
went one twenty five. Could it get there, of course

816
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:25,440
it could, but it would it actually, you know, adam Ford.

817
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,760
To get there, it would have to be a game

818
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,119
where you see Davis because their pedestrian hits everything. And

819
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,760
on the other end, Long Beach has a couple of

820
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,360
stretches on their own home floor where they dictate a

821
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:42,440
little tempo and they you know, put up eleven points

822
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,559
in three minutes something like that, a stretch like that

823
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:47,320
that helps their final score total. I think Garth's on

824
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,159
the right side here under one fifty and a half. Again,

825
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,320
this is not you know, Long Beach State doesn't fall

826
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,199
into the category of teams up played all season Long Northridge, Poly, Slow, Fuller,

827
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,400
ten et cetera, that are just going to rack points

828
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,639
so I agree, no sense disagreeing here. We've got one

829
00:43:03,679 --> 00:43:05,719
game of proof to show it. You've got twenty five

830
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,599
points worth the wiggle room off of that game to

831
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:10,760
work with, and you have a matchup that's not gonna

832
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,079
go quick because again, anybody who's watching U C. Davis

833
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,199
under Jim Less's tenure nose, they just get pushed at

834
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,159
to pace that often.

835
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:23,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm over here looking at my my numbers and whatnot,

836
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,159
and I'm kind of trying to figure out why I

837
00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:29,199
haven't bet UC Davis yet in this game closer. I'm

838
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:34,559
at like five point two here, which is like much

839
00:43:34,599 --> 00:43:37,440
bigger of a I mean, that's almost an auto bet.

840
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: A lot of times for me.

841
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: If I've got like I'm looking at a one point favorite,

842
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,199
one and a half point favorite, and I'm showing like

843
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,559
four or five points for value, I almost always just

844
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:51,239
you know, barring some sort of crazy injury, like that's

845
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,079
typically gonna be a bet for me.

846
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,639
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think Long.

847
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: Beach has any sort of crazy home court at the

848
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,960
Pyramid other than it being a cool building. And I

849
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,639
don't think like people are going out in droves to

850
00:44:03,679 --> 00:44:06,960
watch Long Beach State basketball at this point, you know,

851
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:09,280
U see Davis, they've been okay on the road. Think

852
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,320
they're like five and eight on the road this season.

853
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,719
Obviously defense tends to travel. I mean, I'm looking at

854
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,360
I'm looking at so first meeting you already pointed out

855
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,440
they they destroyed Long Beach, held them to fifty four points,

856
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,760
seventy one to fifty four final. I mean, the only

857
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,119
thing I get and I don't even know if this

858
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:29,039
should put me off, rob but the only thing that's

859
00:44:29,039 --> 00:44:31,039
a little off putting is the fact that it's the

860
00:44:31,039 --> 00:44:34,880
final week, final weekend of a conference play and they're

861
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,960
going on the road. And this is where you kind

862
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,639
of tend to get those weird results because again it's

863
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,559
like you're playing for seeding, big game over the weekend

864
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:47,360
against Hawaii. They come up short in their final home game,

865
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:50,480
So now they go on the road. They've got you know,

866
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:53,559
they've got Long Beach, they've got Irvine to finish the year.

867
00:44:54,039 --> 00:44:56,000
Even if they go zher to two, there's still ten

868
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:58,639
and ten, there's still a five hundred team, So that

869
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,320
I guess, like the spot, it is my only real concern.

870
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,559
And then and then of course, okay, so this would

871
00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:06,800
be this is what I always go back and check

872
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,119
before I see like a number that's this far off. Uh,

873
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,480
Cooper didn't play against Hawaii, right, So I need to

874
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,519
I need to double check his status because if if

875
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:21,639
knows Cooper is out, then that makes sense, that makes

876
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,760
a little bit more sense because he would be worth

877
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,760
probably a few a couple.

878
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: Points on the numbers.

879
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,119
Speaker 1: So again I'll have to go back and double check that.

880
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,760
I'll obviously be digging for intel on that. But Garth,

881
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,280
if he's out, I mean he is a double digit

882
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,920
scorer for Davis and he did not play as far

883
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:40,400
just by a quick check, did not play in the

884
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,440
Hawaii games, So I can't disagree with your under I'll

885
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,400
be looking into that game further throughout the day. But yeah,

886
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:52,800
I and obviously if you have in the chat, if

887
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,320
you know anything about Cooper, let me know, because I

888
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,920
I again, even without him, even without him, I don't

889
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,039
have much faith in this Long Beach State team. So

890
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,559
good luck with what you try to do there, Garth.

891
00:46:06,679 --> 00:46:08,559
All right, I see some questions in the chat. We

892
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,400
will probably get to one more. I'm gonna let Rob

893
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,199
close this three team around if he's if he knows

894
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:15,280
where he wants to go with it.

895
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, go into a game. So I'm trying to look

896
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,719
up something right now, injury related.

897
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk. Okay, so I did, all right,

898
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,719
let's talk. Let's talk more Patriot League basketball. I see,

899
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:31,679
I see folks wanting to talk Navy buck Now. I

900
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,760
wore my Navy zip up, Rob, not for any real reason,

901
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,039
but this is that this little anchor here says Navy On.

902
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:42,400
It got this when I was down in Annapolis last year,

903
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:45,920
went down to see Navy play. When I saw them play,

904
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,320
I kind of knew. I kind of expected this to

905
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,039
be the case. At some point. I actually, you know,

906
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:52,599
I thought they were gonna be the best team in

907
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:56,400
the Patriot League last year. Turns out you bring the

908
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,679
whole team back, like you know, that helps. You don't

909
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,719
see that much in college basketball anymore. But Navy pretty

910
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,639
much returned to everyone, and they are just running roughshod

911
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,039
right now, rob On a Patriot League that is not

912
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,559
very good. As someone that's watched a lot of Patriot

913
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:17,800
League basketball lives in Central New York, has followed this

914
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,320
conference for years, I think I'm willing.

915
00:47:21,039 --> 00:47:24,519
Speaker 2: To say that this is the worst that I can remember.

916
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:26,679
This League. I don't know if that has to do

917
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:27,599
with it's the fact that.

918
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: It's the worst that I can remember Colgate being in

919
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,760
about a decade or at least like eight years. But

920
00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:37,559
there's just you know, I think once you now have

921
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:41,159
the Patriot League start losing guys like Noah Williamson and

922
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,840
the kid from Colgate that's now at Gonzaga Smith right

923
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,960
like they like for a while, that was the one

924
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,800
thing people came to the Patriot League. It was almost

925
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,679
like an IVY League esque where they weren't really leaving.

926
00:47:55,039 --> 00:47:57,239
And then you've got Boston University with all sorts of

927
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,920
injuries this year. American just graduated four seniors. It is

928
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:06,360
a really bad league this year, which leads me into Okay,

929
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:10,239
now we've got Navy. They're the one seed. They destroyed everyone.

930
00:48:11,559 --> 00:48:15,840
They're laying fifteen points in a quarterfinal game in the

931
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,679
in the conference tournament, and Rob, I don't think it's enough.

932
00:48:19,159 --> 00:48:21,360
This came down from seventeen and a half and I'm

933
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:26,320
almost sitting here like, why I'm inclined to bet Navy

934
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,000
at fifteen. I'm at nineteen here at seventeen and a half,

935
00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:32,840
I said, okay, yeah, my number is in line. I

936
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,400
don't understand why this is getting bet toward buck Nell.

937
00:48:36,119 --> 00:48:40,239
That makes zero sense to me. Buck Nell has been awful. Yes,

938
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,119
they have that one freshman big that's sort of panned out,

939
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,119
But Navy has eight and Kehoe, so at we're at

940
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,599
he at best for buck Nell. Those those guys cancel

941
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,800
each other out. You're not gonna beat Navy's. Navy's guards

942
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,679
gonna up and down the floor and do whatever they want.

943
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,119
Shane Russell says Navy team total over. I don't see

944
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:03,840
how you just don't lay fifteen here. There's fourteen and

945
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,199
a half's out there with Navy right now. That is insane.

946
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,719
I think they win this game by twenty to twenty

947
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,800
five points. So I'm gonna have to revisit this one

948
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,559
when we get off the show, because this should be

949
00:49:14,599 --> 00:49:15,760
an absolute blood bath.

950
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,599
Speaker 2: What do you think about a team total over?

951
00:49:18,639 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: They're talking about that in the chat as well.

952
00:49:22,679 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not going to argue off of a Navy

953
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,880
team total over know no way. The way they performed

954
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:32,559
inside the Patriot this year and the defensive ineptitude of

955
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:37,039
the opposition here probably makes Navy team total as good

956
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:40,480
a bet as you're making the side to sound Adam

957
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:41,920
before I lose my train of thought.

958
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 4: Let's lock this parlay leg in for a.

959
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 3: Minute there, guys, just so you know, and this is

960
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,880
gonna be big for me heading into the CUSA Tournament.

961
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,519
As time goes on, I'm beginning to really like sam

962
00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:00,800
Houston State to win this tournament. Sam Houston State is

963
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,320
growing on me immensely as the season goes on. And

964
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,519
I went to look up the injury because I've played,

965
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:08,719
you know, I've been involved in Delaware games this year.

966
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,960
Went to look up Tyler Hauser injury and again tonight,

967
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,639
he's not going to be involved. And I was going

968
00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:20,039
to play that game, but then I decided against it.

969
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,159
I won't play that game. I will say this from

970
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,000
a It's not because I don't like sam Houston State.

971
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,679
I just mentioned that I do think they probably they

972
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,000
have an opportunity to win this tournament. But they've been

973
00:50:35,039 --> 00:50:39,360
able to slow teams down no matter where they go.

974
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,480
I mean, it is kind of amazing that Delaware is

975
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:47,440
able to play at such a slow pace. Martin Inglesby

976
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:50,440
x Notre Dame head coach has done a great job

977
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,800
at controlling pace and they have two guards in Bliss

978
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,559
and Fernandez that can absolutely take anybody off the dribble.

979
00:50:57,559 --> 00:50:59,960
They've gone crazy without Hawser. There's a lot on their show,

980
00:51:01,159 --> 00:51:03,480
but that game went by the wayside because I just

981
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:06,760
feel this other one is way stronger, or not way stronger,

982
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,000
but enough stronger to play here. And that's gonna be

983
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:12,880
Middle Tennessee team total over seventy five and a half

984
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,039
against FYU. Again, guys, I said this yesterday about the

985
00:51:17,159 --> 00:51:20,360
number with Florida State just seventy two and a half

986
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,199
seamed off, seventy five and a half teams off they

987
00:51:23,199 --> 00:51:25,880
played once before they went overtime, before they got to overtime,

988
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,039
it with seventy five seventy five. But you have Jeremy

989
00:51:29,039 --> 00:51:32,519
Ballard's team, who I mean, they are kind of fun

990
00:51:32,519 --> 00:51:35,400
to watch because it is up and down all over

991
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,599
the place, sometimes very helter skelter. But Middle Tennessee is

992
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,360
much more disciplined under Nicholas mcdeviitt, good head coach for MTSU,

993
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:48,840
and they have scored as of late. Not only did

994
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,760
they get to seventy five in regulation the first time

995
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,119
round against FYU, but they've scored as of late. I

996
00:51:53,199 --> 00:51:56,920
just talked about how Delaware slows everybody down in a

997
00:51:57,119 --> 00:52:02,480
sixty two position GAMESU scored seventy eight points against Delaware,

998
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,599
came back with seventy seven against UTEP, another team that

999
00:52:05,639 --> 00:52:09,039
doesn't want to go anywhere, and you should be able

1000
00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:12,360
to keep the score down. But MTSU seventy eight, seventy seven,

1001
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,039
and of course last game against New Mexico State not

1002
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,679
necessarily a paced team either, seventy five seventy five at

1003
00:52:19,679 --> 00:52:21,760
the end of regulation. Now you get the fastest paced

1004
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,440
team in the league. You're gonna get AGAINSTYU. You get

1005
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:30,880
such easy shots during the game, in not for a

1006
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,599
full forty minutes, but in periods of the game. You

1007
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:37,719
find a lot of easy points against YU. Whether it's

1008
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,119
just to the rim, whether it's being filed, whether it's

1009
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:42,639
wide open threes, et cetera. I don't know how this

1010
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,719
team doesn't get over seventy five and a half tonight

1011
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,119
in an FYU game total full game total here is

1012
00:52:48,159 --> 00:52:50,199
one fifty three and a half spent bead up a

1013
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,840
little bit. I wouldn't argue anybody off of that, but

1014
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,079
I just find the more attractive play here, being a

1015
00:52:55,159 --> 00:53:01,199
hot offensively Middle Tennessee State team against a floor FIU

1016
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,400
team that you know they are what they are every game.

1017
00:53:04,599 --> 00:53:08,840
I love teams that are constant, consistent and you know

1018
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,400
what you're gonna get from them. And I know what

1019
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,239
I'm gonna get from FIU is a ton of scoring opportunities,

1020
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,320
a lot of pace, and not a heck of a.

1021
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 4: Lot of defense.

1022
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 3: So for me, Adam, it's gonna be MTSU team total

1023
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:23,840
over seventy five and a half that does come with

1024
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:28,880
twenty five cents of juice attached to it. So let's

1025
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,440
let's use that as as the leg of the parlay

1026
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,400
here and let's knock this down just looking real quick.

1027
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,360
Here MTSU with an opportunity to get inside this top

1028
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,440
four inside the league. So again a little bit of

1029
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,320
added motivation for Middle Tennessee, who sits at five seed

1030
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,800
right now.

1031
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, no, listen, I find it like kind of funny.

1032
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: So I got to go down to Murphy's for earlier

1033
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,440
this year the Glasshouse rob where Middle Tennessee State plays

1034
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,840
notoriously difficult place to shoot the basketball.

1035
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,079
Speaker 2: Yet they have a team that just shoots constantly.

1036
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,519
Speaker 1: Like it's almost like it's almost like if the Rockies

1037
00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:09,400
decided to roll in and say you know what we're

1038
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:10,480
going for pitching this year.

1039
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,199
Speaker 2: You know we're gonna go.

1040
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: We're going I mean maybe they should because they never win,

1041
00:54:14,519 --> 00:54:17,719
but like, we're just gonna go all pitching. Like everyone

1042
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,159
has a tough time shooting at Middle Tennessee State, and

1043
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,039
this team just chucks it's three. It's just three after

1044
00:54:25,079 --> 00:54:28,239
three after three in their own gym ware, Like, no

1045
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,000
one shoots the ball well. So why am I bringing

1046
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,239
that up? Because when you get them out on the road,

1047
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,960
they actually I don't have the numbers in front of me,

1048
00:54:36,039 --> 00:54:38,119
but it seems to me like being on the road

1049
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:41,039
a lot of the times, it's a more favorable like

1050
00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:43,800
shooting atmosphere. I don't know what it is about that building.

1051
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,639
It's certainly this big round circle. I don't know if

1052
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:51,000
it's the blue everywhere, like, I really don't know, but

1053
00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:54,000
no one shoots the ball well at Middle Tennessee State.

1054
00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:57,400
Now that's tough. That gives them a nice little home court.

1055
00:54:57,519 --> 00:55:00,239
But I always find it funny that I found it funny.

1056
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,280
I'm talking to someone at the game earlier this year

1057
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,719
and he's like, he's like, this team just does never

1058
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,719
see a shot. They don't like He's like, and if

1059
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,480
we don't they don't go in, we have no chance.

1060
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:12,000
But on the flip side, they're probably gonna go in

1061
00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:13,199
against FYU.

1062
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,599
Speaker 2: Because that's just not a.

1063
00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:17,039
Speaker 1: Team that really gets like a ton of stops, as

1064
00:55:17,039 --> 00:55:20,239
you're saying. And now you know in what will be

1065
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,880
a very empty building. I'm sure because I've been to

1066
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,159
that one too. No one goes to those games might

1067
00:55:26,159 --> 00:55:28,920
be shooting practice for MTSU tonight. So yeah, I think

1068
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,639
I'm with you there, Rob, I see Middle Tennessee State.

1069
00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:34,320
I actually don't even think they should be a dog

1070
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,559
in this game. They should probably be favored in this game.

1071
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:38,840
I'll have to go back and look at this one too.

1072
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,039
There's just so many games.

1073
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 2: Today I got.

1074
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: I gotta give some a second look. But yeah, they

1075
00:55:43,519 --> 00:55:45,480
I could see them scoring some points here for sure.

1076
00:55:46,519 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have thought the number would be, you know,

1077
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,400
any of seventy eight and a half up, we get

1078
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,719
a seventy five and a half. Just from an analytical

1079
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,559
point of view, MTSU the fourth best effect the field

1080
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:00,320
goal persent a shooting team in this league and league play,

1081
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,280
and FIU, as we've mentioned over and over again, they're

1082
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,840
the worst at allowing field goal percentage in this league.

1083
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,119
So you got the fourth best shooting team against the worst,

1084
00:56:09,639 --> 00:56:14,880
and it's it's also interesting that MTSU, if that factors

1085
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,320
in all of their home games, to be the number

1086
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,480
four shooting team. So to your point, get them out

1087
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,000
on the road, get them into a place like this,

1088
00:56:21,079 --> 00:56:23,119
get them into the pace we saw it the first

1089
00:56:23,119 --> 00:56:24,800
time around. Like I say, it was seventy five to

1090
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,960
seventy five the regulation in that building. Where as you said,

1091
00:56:30,039 --> 00:56:32,880
shooting is kind of tough to do. So for me

1092
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,199
thought the number was low. Think the matchup suits me.

1093
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,719
We're gonna play. Let's go get them high. I think

1094
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,880
MTSU is headed for eighty plus here tonight.

1095
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,599
Speaker 2: All right, So Rob helped me out here.

1096
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: The chat is saying, the odds makers watch this show,

1097
00:56:48,679 --> 00:56:51,800
we need to well, you know what, let's uh, in

1098
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,400
the in the spirit of conference tournament season, we can

1099
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,679
get another thought out here quick and then I'm just

1100
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,719
going to recap the parlay and I'll just add in

1101
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,199
you swere necessary because I know, I know the Colgate.

1102
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: Over took a little bit of money. People.

1103
00:57:06,599 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: So there's like three people that are asking me about

1104
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,199
Carlton State. I don't know if that's directed at me,

1105
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,360
because I obviously, you know, go down there sometimes and

1106
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,039
follow the program close. It will be Billy Gillespie's last year.

1107
00:57:19,639 --> 00:57:21,519
I don't even know if he's back on the sideline.

1108
00:57:21,679 --> 00:57:24,440
I think he's been dealing with a multitude of health

1109
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,000
issues and they and they did announce that he would

1110
00:57:27,079 --> 00:57:28,639
be stepping down at the end.

1111
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: Of the year.

1112
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,039
Speaker 1: Again, I have no idea if he's on the sideline

1113
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:35,320
for this game tonight, Rob. Maybe he is because it's

1114
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,239
a home game, but I don't think he, like was

1115
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,639
traveling with the team and stuff.

1116
00:57:39,679 --> 00:57:43,679
Speaker 2: So whether he's there or not is irrelevant to me.

1117
00:57:44,719 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: But the relevant thing here, Rob, would be the fact

1118
00:57:48,519 --> 00:57:51,400
that Dior Johnson came back over the weekend. That's the

1119
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,840
big talking point with this game. Dior Johnson was back

1120
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,239
over the weekend on the road trip, and what did

1121
00:57:57,239 --> 00:58:01,360
he do? Put up twenty three against you and twenty

1122
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,519
four against cal bab He's one of the highest scorers

1123
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:07,880
in the country. He comes off the bench, still baffling

1124
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,719
to me, twenty three point six points per game. So

1125
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:17,000
big rivalry here, Arlington and Tarleton, big rivalry game.

1126
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,119
Speaker 2: Neither these teams do not like each other. One bit.

1127
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,199
Speaker 1: There's been a couple of scraps at the end of

1128
00:58:22,239 --> 00:58:26,599
Tarleton Arlington games in recent years. So you know, I

1129
00:58:26,639 --> 00:58:29,760
look at this game, I see the fact that Dior's back,

1130
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,559
Tarleton's at the bottom of the standings. You know, all

1131
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:35,119
seven of these teams are going to go to the

1132
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:41,519
Whack Tournament and in Whack in Vegas, and I think

1133
00:58:41,559 --> 00:58:44,159
Tarleton's gonna be in that six seven play in either way.

1134
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,320
But here, like you know, final home game of the year,

1135
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,039
d Or back kind of think the home team's a

1136
00:58:52,039 --> 00:58:53,639
little short here on the number. I make him a

1137
00:58:53,639 --> 00:58:56,800
little bit bigger of a favorite, So I lean towards Tarleton.

1138
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,599
But just having Deor Johnson back make you like a

1139
00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:01,679
total you like the over with him in there.

1140
00:59:01,719 --> 00:59:03,239
Speaker 2: I mean, he's twenty four points per game.

1141
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 3: I mean it's hard not to, right. I mean, when

1142
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,880
you get your best player, your best offense player. The

1143
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,280
interesting part of what you just said, Adam to me is,

1144
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,519
and I know this is always coach's decision and maybe

1145
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:19,960
coach's rotational preference, but to have your best score, to

1146
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,960
have your best offensive player coming off the bench, it

1147
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,519
doesn't always mean everything because it's who closes the game.

1148
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:27,039
Who not who starts the game really and the minutes

1149
00:59:27,079 --> 00:59:29,039
seem to have been there for him the first couple.

1150
00:59:29,079 --> 00:59:31,760
But yeah, when you're tacking on a guy that's twenty

1151
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,519
plus points per game, but you have to make sure

1152
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:37,960
the odds makers have not accounted for it as of yet.

1153
00:59:38,119 --> 00:59:41,559
And in this Tarleton game, you're staring at a number that's,

1154
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,440
you know, one thirty six and a half money it

1155
00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:45,480
started one thirty four.

1156
00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:46,679
Speaker 4: It just seems a little bit low.

1157
00:59:48,519 --> 00:59:50,039
Speaker 2: And I'll make about that because I know we're up

1158
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:50,719
against it here.

1159
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,719
Speaker 1: Like Arlington is a defensive Like that is what they're

1160
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,199
good at, right, That is what that Arlington team is

1161
00:59:57,199 --> 00:59:59,760
is is better at sort of defending you and playing

1162
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,719
that lo scoring game. But I gotta wonder, like they're

1163
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,719
pretty much locked into their spot in the Whack tournament,

1164
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:08,760
they're going on the road here, Like I wonder how

1165
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,719
much they truly they truly care about this game, Like

1166
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,519
I just don't know if this is the spot you're

1167
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:18,800
gonna get your like hardcore defensive effort from Arlington And

1168
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,199
if you're not that that number becomes a little bit low.

1169
01:00:21,239 --> 01:00:22,719
And I can kind of see why that got bet

1170
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,519
up just a tiny bit that.

1171
01:00:24,519 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: That's just my thought.

1172
01:00:25,559 --> 01:00:27,199
Speaker 1: I'm not saying play it, but I can kind of

1173
01:00:27,239 --> 01:00:30,400
see why the over money is starting to come in there.

1174
01:00:33,639 --> 01:00:37,119
All right, we are at the eleven am mark, and

1175
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,239
let's let's recap the parlay quick. I'll attach different So

1176
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,119

1178
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,800

1179
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:53,159
co Colgate Loyola over one fifty two for Bayou's leg.

1180
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,239
If it's one fifty two point five or one to

01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,920
fifty three, just buy it down and I'll attach minus
