1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is Wednesday. It's time for

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,839
full court press, Robino. Before we even get into it,

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,759
I went three and one last night. I was five

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,359
seconds away from going four and oh Missouri gave up

5
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:21,239
a basket to Georgia with five seconds left.

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: But I can't complain. I'll take the three in one night.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,359
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling the folks that I'm probably gonna

8
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,120
start letting the five percenters rip here in college basketball.

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,479
I've only had one all season, but I have back

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,399
to back winning days, and there's probably gonna be a

11
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,359
couple in the coming days, maybe even today. Haven't decided yet,

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,240
but that's my promo to Hop on our package, the

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,679
double the Firepower CBB package, myself and Rob because you're

14
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:48,640
probably gonna get a couple five percenters in the next

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,159
couple of days.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: So it's already a great deal.

17
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,759
Speaker 1: When you start to do the math on what wager

18
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:57,399
Talk charges for the five percenters, it becomes a very

19
00:00:57,439 --> 00:00:59,359
good deal if you know you're gonna get at least

20
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,200
one or two of Oh so quick. Promo to start

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,040
it off, and Rob, I don't know if you checked

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,439
your texts, but I chose the feature game Tonight the

23
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:13,640
Degenerate spect the Drew Martin Degenerate Special eleven PM Eastern

24
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,120
Fox Sports won and I sent you a picture of

25
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:20,239
the Grand Canyon student section from when I was there

26
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:20,920
last year.

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: It truly might be the I think it was.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,799
Speaker 1: Rick Patino, one of the big time coaches, said that

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,280
like he's never experienced anything like that.

30
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: It was it was someone that's played there recently.

31
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:36,439
Speaker 1: It really is insane, like it's it's the craziest atmosphere

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,079
I've ever seen for how small the building is. So

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,680
it's only about fifty five hundred people that fit in there.

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,840
They've they've literally so that space was smaller, right like

35
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,079
Grand Canyon Cup came from the whack. They have put

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,719
a seat rob in every possible crevice of that building,

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,480
so they're like maxed out on seating capacity. Every single

38
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:00,719
one will be will be full. If you watch Fox

39
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,079
Sports one on Saturday afternoon, you'll know what I'm talking

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,480
about because they were out in full force for that

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,400
game and they knocked off Utah State, a ranked win

42
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,639
for Grand Canyon. Tonight they get another big name. San

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Diego State might have not have the number by their

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,199
name this year, Rob, but They're still a pretty good team,

45
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,240
and I think Grand Canyon is now getting a little

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360
bit more respect than they were three days ago with

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,639
this number. So looks like no mgoon guath, but San

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,759
Diego State hitting the road in front of the Havocs Phoenix,

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Arizona to night.

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,599
Speaker 2: How you seeing this one?

51
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: Let's start there. No mcgoon guath is a big deal.

52
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,439
I think in this instance, big center for San Diego

53
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:45,280
State and multi talented, multi skilled, I should say center

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,680
a couple of those out there in the mountain West

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
San Diego State. I saw them play against New Mexico

56
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:52,599
the other day, another win for San Diego State. Every day,

57
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:54,479
it seems like every time I turned on San Diego State,

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,439
I'm impressed. When I don't watch them, it seems like

59
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:01,879
you get a meet theocre result. But a couple of

60
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,599
times i've seen them obviously a well rounded team. I

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,759
think a little bit more capable of scoring this year

62
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,919
under Brian Dutcher. They showed that again Saturday with eighty

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,680
three points re sticks and Water's been very very good

64
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:18,680
for them this year. A couple of things in this one.

65
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:21,240
I would think, you know, San Diego State at their

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,639
core is still the same fundamental type of team. They

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,719
still want to go to the glass, they still want

68
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:35,719
to play good defense, especially half court defense, and Grand Canyon,

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,199
to an extent adam somewhat the same. They rebound especially

70
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,039
well on the defensive end. Sitting at twenty ninth in

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,159
the nation, which if San Diego State doesn't get some

72
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,080
second chances here could be in a little bit of

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,159
trouble SD State. That's going to be really good matchup.

74
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:55,240
As a matter of fact, San Diego State's offensive board

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,159
work against Grand Canyon's defensive boardwork. The Utah State win,

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,840
you wonder if that loss didn't trigger Utah State to

77
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,159
lose twice. Lost to UNLV last night in another great game.

78
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:12,080
I would say this, I really like the San Diego

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,319
State team from what I've seen, but I'm expecting more

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,519
of a defensive natured game in this one. Total here

81
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,959
sits at one forty three and a half, probably a

82
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:25,839
good spot for this game, but I think it's probably

83
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:29,720
gonna stay under the side. Is difficult for me to pick.

84
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:31,279
I will say this as I set off the top.

85
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:34,399
I think GWAP is a big deal. It helps Grand

86
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:41,040
Canyon rebounding wise. He's a definite force side is difficult.

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,639
Starering here. San Diego State minus one Grand Canyon now

88
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,839
minus won in a lot of places, but one for

89
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,560
three and a half sticks out to me as a

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,160
total that might be a little bit too high. So again,

91
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:54,839
and I know we got some complaints about this yesterday,

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,839
Adam where we analyze but then give a you know,

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,079
didn't bet the game, But we don't bet every game, guys.

94
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,279
I mean if we bet every game, it would be

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,720
you don't have pockets deep enough to beat every single

96
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,560
game in college basketball. This one, I could come to

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,319
a conclusion a little later. It is a late start

98
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,480
eleven o'clock, but right now I would say I lean

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,879
toward under one forty three and a half and what

100
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,839
I think should be a pretty solid defensive battle between

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,560
these two teams.

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: I can't stress this enough.

103
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: We do not get paid to do this show, so

104
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,120
we can't just come here and give everything out. That's

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,519
why you gotta you gotta grab the double the Fireboers

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279
CBB package because you're gonna get a lot more games

107
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,600
in there, and then you're gonna get the games we

108
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,800
actually picked. But Rob, we still come out and give

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,720
out picks on the show. Uh you know, listen, I live,

110
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,120
I live in New York. That Bill Stadium isn't paying

111
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,319
for itself. We're paying for it, right, I don't. I

112
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,000
don't know why because they have billionaire owners, but we're

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,319
paying for the bill Stadium, So you.

114
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: Got to buy the package. That's just, that's just. It

115
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,720
is what it is.

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: But we're gonna come out here and talk about an

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,800
hour's worth of games, six or seven games. And the

118
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,040
point is it's not always to give a pick, because

119
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,240
sometimes there's a good game, a great matchup late like this,

120
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,360
where there's not something that's like so clear cut. In

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,040
my opinion, I truly believe this game is going to

122
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:10,639
be decided on who can avoid the drought offensively. I

123
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,560
am confident in saying someone is going to have an

124
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680
offensive drought if not both, which makes me lean your

125
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,160
way with the under The thing is like, neither of

126
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,519
these two teams are are are great. They're they're not

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,639
super consistent shooting the basketball. So it's like San Diego State,

128
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,439
they've kind of shot it well of late, but this

129
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,639
is an environment where I could see them maybe having

130
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,040
a cold stretch. You know, Utah State had a cold

131
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,399
stretch the other day in that game, and San Diego

132
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,879
State's a lesser offensive team than them. But that's ultimately

133
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,920
my biggest problem with Grand Canyon is they're just not

134
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,680
gonna you know, they're just not gonna torch you from distance.

135
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,600
And you know that that to me comes up here someway.

136
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,600
I don't know which team. I don't I don't think

137
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:57,160
you can really know which team has the like five

138
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,240
minute scoring drought. My my best takee is someone's going

139
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,120
to have that drought. I like the Grand Canyon side.

140
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,279
The atmosphere is going to be incredible. I could see

141
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,680
them winning another game here. But at the same time,

142
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,639
you could talk me into this being a little bit

143
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,240
of a letdown. You come out, you knock off the

144
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,879
ranked Utah State team, you got kids rushing the floor.

145
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920
It was incredible, But now you got to do it

146
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,240
a couple of games later. Maybe you take San Diego

147
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,160
State a little bit for granted, because they aren't that

148
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,319
ranked San Diego State team from years past.

149
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: So Robino, I'm with you here.

150
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I will I think that the thing I can bank

151
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,519
on the most is that these are two teams. San

152
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:36,279
Diego State's very good defensively, but Grand Canyon does not

153
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,959
shoot the ball well and they're not super consistent in

154
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,439
making shots. I think the same thing could be said

155
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:43,920
for San Diego State. So I'm gonna go with an

156
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:46,240
under here as well. I like the under in this game.

157
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,439
And we are going three teamer again today. I know

158
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
it lost yesterday, but we got to listen. Rob and

159
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:55,240
I split every two team parlay last week. I think

160
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:57,720
we went one and one on every single one. So

161
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:59,519
now we're chasing a couple of units, so we got

162
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,000
to get a grasp if it's time to We got

163
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,920
to get that parlay payoffs, so it will be a

164
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,079
three teamer. I don't know what we'll do for the

165
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,920
third leg of it. We'll decide as the show goes on.

166
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,759
Yesterday we did a joint leg. Maybe someone will step

167
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,120
up and be like, hey, I got this, I got

168
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,600
the third winner, and we'll go with that. Guards Dore's

169
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,839
Grand Canny rinks three thirtieth in the country from three. Yeah,

170
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:23,000
that doesn't really get easier against San Diego State, Am

171
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,439
I right?

172
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:25,839
Speaker 2: Rob, Like that doesn't get easier against San Diego.

173
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,879
Speaker 3: State, especially on the road. We talk about how defense travels.

174
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Adam and again Rim protection could be a little It

175
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360
will be lesser for San Diego State without Guath, but

176
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,240
they pressure the basketball up top so well that a

177
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,879
lot of times you can't even get into the paint.

178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,279
So we'll see how it goes, but it does set

179
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,240
up as a really good defensive battle. One last thing

180
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,919
on San Diego State, six of the last eight games,

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,799
believe it or not, they have shot fifty percent or

182
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,240
better from the field. That seems like a real outlier

183
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,840
statistic for this team that you know overall doesn't shoot

184
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,000
that well. They've been pretty good lately, but going into

185
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,039
this environment, I don't think it's going to be fifty percent.

186
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,320
So again we'll look at under and let me just

187
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200
before we get to the next game, Adam, I'll say

188
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,639
really quickly, you've mentioned the parlay. My apologies for having TCU.

189
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:15,759
Is my leg of the parlay last night or yesterday

190
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:19,679
the TCU team total over. However, Adam was talking about

191
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,639
packages before four and two in college basketball last night,

192
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,240
what I gave out on the show lost everything I

193
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:27,519
had for clients. That was the only thing that lost

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,960
for clients because we had four other winners last night.

195
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,679
So again it's double to CBB firepower. The powers that

196
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600
be will love us for promoting so much. But yeah,

197
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,799
it was a nice night, and it just can't always

198
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,639
be a winner here on the show. But certainly it's

199
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:43,159
why you look for the rest of our stuff.

200
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: It never fails, Rob Veno three and one for me

201
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,639
last night college basketball, though one was the one I

202
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,480
picked for five dollars Tuesday, so I'm sure I'm sure

203
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:56,279
everyone is thrilled. All right, Garth, thank you for the donation.

204
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,000
I'm glad you brought this game up. That's what I

205
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,759
wanted to talk about. There was actually a a scenario

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,840
my schedule got moved around, but I made some pals

207
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:07,240
in Tulsa, and I am gonna try to get out

208
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,159
there for a game at some point this year. This

209
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,039
one was when I kind of had circled Glad I'm not.

210
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,159
I'm glad I'm not going to Tulsa because it looks

211
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,639
like the Midwest is gonna get absolutely pummeled with snow

212
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,840
over the next couple of days. I leave Central New

213
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:24,000
York to not deal with snow so once. Once there's

214
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,039
snow in the Midwest, Trigg is out. But this would

215
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:29,279
be a great game to attend. Tuls meant this heading

216
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,240
to Tulsa.

217
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: Tulsa.

218
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,879
Speaker 1: I've said it on the show a couple of times.

219
00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:36,240
I really like this this team, and you look at

220
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,879
the AAC and a lot of these teams that kind

221
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:42,440
of underwhelm in this league, and Tulsa for me, is

222
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:44,720
up there in terms of like who I think could

223
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:47,320
have a real chance to be at or near the

224
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,279
top when it's all said and done this year. I

225
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:54,799
don't hate the matchup here with them, Rovino, but man,

226
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,519
that that spread was a little bit bigger than I

227
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,600
expected it to be. Of course, Penny hard Way meant this.

228
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:03,320
They get a lot of love as an underdog. Maybe

229
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,720
they will buy the market again here.

230
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: We'll see.

231
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: But Garth wants to know Tulsa Memphis. He's looking at

232
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
the over one fifty three and a half. I'll tell

233
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,440
you what, Garth, if Tulsa shoots the way they did

234
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,039
on this road trip, you're probably gonna get there. Rob,

235
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,639
you know you're the totals guy. What do you think

236
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,879
Tulsa Memphis over one fifty three and a half?

237
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? And Memphis put them in the category for myself

238
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,360
where I think I said this last week. They are

239
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,240
so sporadic with what they do in the totals market,

240
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,519
as far as their results are concerned, that I find

241
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,039
them hard to gauge in unless yeah, was Sunday afternoon, right,

242
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,200
because the AAC played on Sunday afternoon.

243
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: They played you, thank god, no one else did, thank god.

244
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played Utsa, and I wanted to get to

245
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:49,120
the over because Utsa is so bad defensively, so bad that,

246
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,639
you know, Memphis is probably a game where they break out.

247
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,720
They're off of a fifty five to fifty three against Temple.

248
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:56,799
I think it was very low scoring game, which makes

249
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,559
no sense to be fifty five to fifty three with Tulsa.

250
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720
But that's or with Temple. Excuse me, but that's just Memphis.

251
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,279
And they come out and score ninety five points. So

252
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,080
they're so sporadic they're hard to gauge, and their Seesaw

253
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,399
world at them, and again this isn't even This is

254
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,039
such exterior handicapping. But exterior handicapping pays as well. When

255
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,799
I say Seesaw, you know, play them, over play them,

256
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:26,759
under play them, over play them, under just up down,

257
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,159
up down against Tulsa, which is a pretty decent defensive

258
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,320
team but a far better offensive team. Maybe Memphis comes

259
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,200
out here and struggles shooting. Again. This is a strange

260
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,879
team that plays at different tempos at different times, scores low,

261
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,919
scores high, but Tulsa's been really consistent. I'm with you,

262
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,639
somebody really loves Tulsa. I mean, maybe Paul Pressey back

263
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,759
from nineteen eighty one, has huge pockets and has pounding

264
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:59,759
the album mater here for Tulsa. Nolan richardson money out there.

265
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,679
I think, honestly, I think that this line might be

266
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,399
a little bit too high. I'm going to disagree with

267
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,200
Garth here and I seldom do, but I think this

268
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,360
game probably stays under again. It's a clash of the

269
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,840
top of the conference. Surprising to me that Tulsa already

270
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:17,279
has a pair of losses Memphis four and one here.

271
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,799
I think that probably this game ends up in like

272
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,679
the seventy six seventy three range, which puts you at

273
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,080
one forty nine. It's not enough to climb the mountain

274
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,039
and get over the top. The Tulsa side money, I

275
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,759
just I would love to agree with it, but I

276
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:35,159
don't know that I want to lay six and a

277
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,919
half in this instance. Adam. I like the Tulsa backcourt

278
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,519
I like the way they're able to score, but I

279
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,440
do like Memphis defense in athleticism at all times in

280
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,799
this league, and I think that defense in athleticism causes

281
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,879
some teams, a majority of the teams in this conference,

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,600
some problems on the offensive end. So again, I'm going

283
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,480
to go with back to back under here. While that

284
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,440
might be the first time on any show where I've

285
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,080
ever recommend get back to back unders, but to me,

286
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:03,720
this number is just a little bit too high at

287
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:04,840
one fifty three and a half.

288
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I thought the line was like

289
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,159
maybe a touch high at four and a half.

290
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: Five.

291
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Now you're looking at six six and a half some places,

292
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:16,039
I don't listen.

293
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: I know that the students are back.

294
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:20,639
Speaker 1: I know that they expect their biggest crowd of the

295
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,480
year to date for this season at this game, So

296
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:27,320
you know, definitely going to be a good atmosphere relative

297
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,080
to what their their typical sort of home game is.

298
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,960
So you should have a I guess you're going to

299
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,080
give them full marks for home court. Is it worth

300
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,200
enough to make them a six point favorite here? That's

301
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440
a little tough for me. I'd love to know. I'd

302
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,639
love to know the status of Miles Riggsby, he hasn't

303
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:45,000
played the last couple of games. But something I will

304
00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:49,120
note about Tulsa my cousin who I was with, So

305
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:51,039
I was at the North Texas Tulsa game a couple

306
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,519
of weeks ago.

307
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:53,039
Speaker 2: Tough loss for Tulsa.

308
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: It was more North Texas making big shot after big

309
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,320
shot in the final like six to seven minutes of

310
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,120
that game, in my opinion, than it was Tulsa like

311
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,919
playing poorly or like playing to lose. It was just

312
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,720
North Texas hit three after three, big shot after big

313
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,639
shot to win that game seventy two to sixty seven.

314
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320
They turn around and lose to South Florida. But like,

315
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,279
that's not I mean, South Floria was a team that

316
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480
I thought would win this league coming into this year.

317
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:22,440
So I don't really dock Tulsa too much for a

318
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,840
road loss at the super Pit and then losing to

319
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:29,360
South Florida. Don't know the status of Rigsby, but he's

320
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840
been out the last couple of games. Don't know that

321
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,879
it matters a ton because this team is very deep.

322
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:39,000
Cousin is good friends with Jalen la Wall's dad, and

323
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,759
so that's kind of why we've followed the team closely.

324
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Jalen wall is a freshman and it's like, you know he.

325
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,879
I think he's played well at times, and he's had

326
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:48,440
a hard time getting on the court for more than

327
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,879
ten to twelve minutes. Because they have a deep team.

328
00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:54,320
This was a team that didn't know. I don't think

329
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,120
they knew they were getting David Green. I think that

330
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,919
was one of the scenarios rob where he ended up

331
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,159
with an extra year of eligibility, was that he didn't

332
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:04,919
know he would have.

333
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: So there's some of these around college basketball this year.

334
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,879
Speaker 1: The notable one, the one that's like, we'll come to

335
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:13,480
everyone's mind is tie On Grant Foster who's now at

336
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,600
Gonzaga kind of maneuvered his way to that extra year.

337
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: Freddie Hicks at Tarleton State. There's a couple.

338
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I think David Green was one of those guys, great

339
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,519
player at Rhode Island. Tulsa gets him, gets him, and

340
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:27,759
he's their best player. I mean he really is like

341
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,519
upperclassmen leading the team and scoring sixteen point seven points

342
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,679
per game. So I don't know that the market is

343
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,799
even like I think the market has caught up, but

344
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,679
I think this Tulsa team's very very good.

345
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,159
Speaker 2: I can only bet Tulsa here.

346
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of Memphis on the Road

347
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:45,240
that this as an underdog has a hardaway underdog Magic

348
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,080
has worn off a little bit one and three against

349
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,720
the spread as a dog on the road here. Maybe

350
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,679
this is one where you try to pair a pair

351
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:55,600
to Tulsa with another money line in that range to

352
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,120
make yourself a little moneyline parlay, because I really like

353
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,960
them to win here.

354
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: But man, it's tough to lay six. That's a big number.

355
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I see you guys in the listen like

356
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,359
and subscribe. We very much appreciate it. This show will

357
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,400
be up live and on demand. You know, the like

358
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,440
subscribes and the comments in the show which I am

359
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,039
contractably contractly obligated to answer.

360
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: Apparently there's no contract for that.

361
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: It's just Kelly Stewart will be blowing me up if

362
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,920
I do not answer your comments. So hop in the

363
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,079
show comments drop us a comment. I may even throw

364
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,000
another handicap out for a game in there.

365
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,519
Speaker 2: You never know.

366
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: You ask, I'll probably give an answer. That's how it goes.

367
00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:43,720
Let's go to a different game. Billy Humphries says, anyone

368
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,240
on Creighton tonight at home.

369
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: Minus seven against Xavier.

370
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: Rob You you know, we're back in the Big East

371
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:54,039
where it's just once you get past Yukon and maybe

372
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,359
Saint John's, it's a lot of mediocrity in this conference.

373
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,839
Davier has to hit the road, go out to all

374
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,079
my I would say we would probably both agree that

375
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,880
this is the toughest logistically the toughest trip in this conference.

376
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,960
I still think the toughest trip in this conference is

377
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:13,200
having to go to stores Connecticut. But minus seven Crayton

378
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000
at home tonight, what do you have here, Xavier Creyton.

379
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think you can Obviously I'll get on a

380
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,400
different track here because I think you can assume points,

381
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,640
especially from the Creighton side in this game. As we're

382
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,000
speaking here, I'm very tempted at him to use this,

383
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:36,240
and maybe I will. As we speak, the Creighton team

384
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:39,319
total here is eighty and a half to me, and

385
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,759
I'm always you know, you do this long enough, and

386
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:44,519
you go down the board each and every day and

387
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,640
immediately something will grab your attention like that's off, that's

388
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,880
not right, that's wrong. And when I see eighty and

389
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,920
a half for Creighton, I just feel like that's wrong. Xavier,

390
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,039
we've seen very little on the defensive end. Creighton gets

391
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:01,640
back home now after playing Providence in the ninety three

392
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,400
eighty eight. But how about Creighton's output offensively ever since?

393
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,039
You know, beginning of the season, we talked about their

394
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:12,119
struggles not the same team, A couple of transfers here,

395
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,799
including from Iowa Josh Dix. Now all of a sudden

396
00:19:16,519 --> 00:19:20,200
eighty eight against Providence on the road, eighty six against Georgetown,

397
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,160
seventy three against a very good defensive team in Saint John's,

398
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,319
seventy six against Nova, et cetera, et cetera. They've become

399
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480
a pretty good offensive force, and Xavier puts up little resistance.

400
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,960
It's not a good defensive team. Two fifty three against

401
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:41,880
the twos as far as national statistics are concerned. Creighton

402
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,880
can get inside. Now, I think Creighton's found a lot

403
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,880
of ways to score at them that they didn't have

404
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,759
in the beginning. Now, some of that could be product

405
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,200
of a subpar Big East. You're not really facing aside

406
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,920
from Seaton Hall, aside from Saint John's, aside from Yukon.

407
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,039
It's hard to find defenses that you would regard as

408
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:10,880
tough in the Big East. Xavier certainly doesn't qualify, and

409
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,880
they qualify even less on the road. They play at tempo,

410
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,000
which Creighton, for what it's worth, will choose to play

411
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:20,759
faster at home than they do on the road. I

412
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:23,200
think that's just been a philosophy of Greg McDermott for

413
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,000
a long long time as head coach of this team.

414
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,160
But we know Richard Patino's gonna get up and down.

415
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,920
You're gonna get this scoring opportunities. You've got a good

416
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,839
shooting team at this point in time, or at least

417
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:37,599
a higher scoring team at this point against a pretty

418
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,880
bad road defense. As far as Big ET statistics are concerned,

419
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:48,319
Just looking at my notes here on the Xavier on

420
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,680
the Xavier game, as far as Big East is concerned,

421
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:55,559
Xavier sits tenth in this conference, ninth in defensive efficiency.

422
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,039
I just to me, Oudam, this number is way too

423
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,519
low for a game that I think is going to

424
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,720
go over anyway, because Xavier will put their share up.

425
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:09,359
So wow. I keep hemming and hawing here because I'm

426
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,720
making a firm decision, but I think I write it down.

427
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,319
I want to use Creighton team total over eighty and

428
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:18,319
a half ten twenty one, A little early in the show.

429
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,480
But I don't know that I'm gonna find anything better

430
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:24,480
as we speak here than what I'm looking at right now.

431
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,559
So Creton team total over eighty and a half will

432
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:28,680
be one leg of the parlay today. I just don't

433
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,480
think that's that's a good number. I think that's a

434
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,920
weak number, very light, and Creighton should end up in

435
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,599
the eighty four eighty five vicinity in this game.

436
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,079
Speaker 1: Rob been or are you okay making that our joint

437
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,640
leg and then you'll still have one left for later?

438
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: Oh? Sure, because I wanted to find like, so what

439
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,599
was that total? What was the number?

440
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: Again? Over what eighty and a half? So we need

441
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,759
one to win?

442
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with that.

443
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: The reason is, you know, I I think Creighton probably

444
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:01,200
just Roy Xavier in this spot.

445
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if I wanted to lay seven.

446
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Xavier has not played since I bet against them last week,

447
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:11,480
so they've had seven days off. They Yeah, Jacob, it's

448
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,680
Jacob says, it's at eighty one and a half. Now

449
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,200
it's we'll we'll double check toward the end of the show. Well, we'll, we'll,

450
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,079
We're not gonna lost the parley in toward the end

451
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,680
of the show. So if we have to take one

452
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:22,960
number worse, I think it's fine.

453
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: I'll let I'll leave that.

454
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,559
Speaker 1: To rob to to follow up and let you know

455
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:29,440
if there's still value at eighty one and a half.

456
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,359
But I guess the reason I'm looking at the Creightonside.

457
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,240
You know Xavier. Last week, they get back, they get

458
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:40,960
back to back wins. On Friday, Providence, Providence was without

459
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,079
why can't I remember his name, oh Jones? Jamiir Jones

460
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,200
did not play in the game against Xavier. Xavier ran

461
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:52,960
up ninety seven points in a win over Providence. They

462
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,319
come back, they drop eighty nine on Butler. I was

463
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,440
on Butler in that game. It was just an atrocious

464
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,519
effort from Butler. I think they were in that lull

465
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:03,279
of like having lost a couple of games straight, couldn't

466
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:05,720
really break out of it. Of course, since then Butler

467
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,200
broke out of it. Go on the road, upset Seaton Hall.

468
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,079
You know you have your Xavier. You have to come

469
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,240
all the way across the country. That was a nice

470
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,400
setup for them last week, back to back home games.

471
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,880
Now you've got to take this team on the road

472
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,319
that I've described this year as a year zero type team.

473
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,319
Richard Patino has been on Twitter like almost like you know,

474
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,519
keeping the mood light, okay, like he's I think he

475
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,279
knows that this is a very young team. I think

476
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,359
he's got to be thrilled with the effort at home

477
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,799
last week. But like when they go and get run

478
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,519
out by thirty and Creighton or in a road game,

479
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:40,039
I just don't think it's the end of the world

480
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,640
for this team right now. I think there's you know,

481
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:47,200
they're they're building something. Patino is trying to build this

482
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,880
from the ground up. I looked at the Xavier roster

483
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,680
coming into the year, didn't think there was a ton

484
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,119
of talent. Creighton coming into the year I thought would

485
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,759
be better. They've certainly had their struggles, but you know,

486
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,160
their results recently have not been terrible. The win at

487
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,480
Nova is a decent win for them. They beat Saint

488
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:09,599
John's over the you know, on Friday night at Providence

489
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,480
that was a very desperate spot for Providence, and to

490
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:14,720
Providence's credit, I know we've ripped them on the show

491
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,119
a bunch of robino. They could still put the ball

492
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,839
in the They could still put the ball in the basket,

493
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,119
and that is exactly what they did ninety three points

494
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,839
on Creighton over the weekend, So I think to your point,

495
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,720
Creighton probably does need to score to cover this spread, right, Like,

496
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,880
because I don't think Creighton's defense has been anything to

497
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,640
write home about either. They they they play the way

498
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,200
they used to with Kulkbrenner, but he's not there anymore,

499
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,720
so they're given up. They you know, they still can

500
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:42,319
get scored on, I would say in this game. So

501
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:44,880
because I like the Creighton side don't really know how

502
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,079
to play it, I'm going to join forces with you here.

503
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,920
Let's go team total over And do you want to

504
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,920
follow up and just talk about like maybe where the

505
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:52,880
cutoff is for that?

506
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was as soon as that was mentioned to me.

507
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,680
And just so the chat knows. For wager talk purposes,

508
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,039
we do use a consensus line to try and be

509
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,319
fair to everybody, because these numbers are scattered across thirty

510
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,680
five different books outlets that we have at our disposal

511
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,920
here with the line service. The consensus number is eighty

512
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,039
and a half. But I will say Adam that there

513
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:21,680
are a huge there's a huge amount of eighty one

514
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,000
and a half's out there, and those eighty one and

515
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,519
a half are mostly at places that are easily accessible

516
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:32,640
for the masses. So I think in fairness, you know

517
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,559
eighty and a half does come up as the consensus,

518
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,759
but I know a lot of people don't have accounts

519
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,920
where a lot of these eighty and a halfs are.

520
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,079
So either way, I would, saying fairness to the chat,

521
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:44,599
we would use eighty one and a half because that's

522
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,319
more than likely the place or places that they're going

523
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,319
to be able to get action down on this game

524
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,880
at this point. But it has jumped eighty one. I

525
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,720
see a place right now going to eighty two and

526
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:56,640
a half, So please eighty one and a half is

527
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,559
where we'll use the cutoff, but we'd like to get

528
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:01,319
in and not way till tip off when it's eighty

529
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:02,519
three and say you guys blew that.

530
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I do think as always shop around, you're

531
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,319
always gonna want to shop around, especially on team totals.

532
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: I think I think if it.

533
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: Was to get out of hand, you could just go

534
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,519
creating money line in the parlay and just take less odds.

535
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,599
Like I think that would be a reasonable way to

536
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,079
pivot if like suddenly to the team total got so

537
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359
far away from it now if you do play at

538
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,599
some of these more what we'll call it legal public

539
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,920
type books. You can probably just adjust the team total

540
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,279
in your parlay. I do think it's allowed, so you

541
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:35,039
can just knock it down a little bit, which is

542
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,480
which is totally fine in a parlay. All right, let's

543
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,240
move on Garth. We'll go to Garth. Appreciate the donation.

544
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,400
And I know this is a so Robino. I have

545
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,519
a pretty good memory that my memory is sharp, and

546
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:51,200
I remember when we talked about this game the first

547
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:51,799
time around.

548
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: You liked Murray State.

549
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you used it as a client

550
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,559
play or if it was a part of the parlay.

551
00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:01,759
They smashed Drake in that game, and I remember vividly

552
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:04,480
talking about it on the show. I believe they were

553
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:06,440
like a six and a half point home favorite in

554
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,880
that game. Drake made a couple shots at the end,

555
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,640
but Murray State pulled away. I remember you liking the

556
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,039
matchup a lot for Murray State in that game. Drake

557
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,319
says his favorite play of the slate is Murray State

558
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,680
minus five and a half. Drake is two and six

559
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,160
against the spread at home. Drake's just not very good

560
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,039
in general. This is really has been very much a

561
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:28,799
transition year. Obviously, Ben McCollum goes to Iowa. I think

562
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,079
Eric Henderson's a good coach, but he's been up against

563
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,880
a little bit of tough luck injury wise. Is there

564
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,279
any different outcome in the rematch? Or do you like

565
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,359
Murray State again here?

566
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 3: Murray State has been so dominant in conference plays so far, Adam,

567
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,119
that I don't know that I could like any other

568
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,079
way than him. I would almost say that the Indiana

569
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,319
State game the other night might have been a slight

570
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,400
look ahead, knowing that they had to go on the

571
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,920
road and play Drake in the rematch after winning by

572
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,440
nine at home. I agree with a ton of what

573
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,359
you said where Drake is concerned kind of a transition year.

574
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,720
I don't know that that cohesion has been formed yet.

575
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:15,200
They lose to Illinois Chicago the other day. In past years,

576
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,440
Drake wouldn't be losing to Illinois Chicago right, but now

577
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,319
they are. It's a different style, it's a different team.

578
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,440
It allows Murray State. Let me put it this way.

579
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,880
It allows Murray State to do what they do best

580
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,400
this year, which is play with pace and score, and

581
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,880
nobody in this league is stop Murray State from scoring.

582
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,400
It will be so interesting. And I'm waiting, and I'm

583
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,599
a little bit nervous being a you know, having or

584
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,640
paying a lot of attention to Belmont basketball. As I've

585
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,359
said before, my oldest son went there, so I've been

586
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:49,680
a fan of Belmont for quite a while. The Murray

587
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,599
State Belmont game is going to be something when those

588
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:54,079
two hook up. But here, I just don't know that

589
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,680
Drake is has gotten to the level they need to

590
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,440
get at yet. While Murray State has been absolutely steam

591
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,599
rolling teams, and to Ryan Miller's credit, Adam, there's really

592
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,759
been no letdown in this team. I know they only

593
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:10,960
won by four against Indiana State the other day, but

594
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,519
there really hasn't been a letdown here. They've rattled off.

595
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,240
It's in fact, as I look here, it's now the

596
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:20,799
nation's fifth longest active win streak twelve games in a row.

597
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,680
And one thing you can depend on here is they're

598
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,599
going to score the basketball. There's game film obviously from

599
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,079
first time around that Drake can go to. Question is

600
00:29:31,359 --> 00:29:33,640
can you stop it? And I don't know that they

601
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,599
can stop it at this point in time. So I

602
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:39,240
would agree Murray State, even on the road five and

603
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,720
a half might be I want to get too carried

604
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,480
away here. I mean, they probably can win by seven plus.

605
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,279
You only have to win by six plus, but they

606
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:49,640
could probably make it by seven plus here. I would

607
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,200
say Murray State's likely the right side. I'm just trying

608
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,279
to look at the total here real quick. It shows it. Wow,

609
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:58,000
that's you know, one fifty nine and a half is

610
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,759
a little high Garth. If you're interested in total here

611
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:02,599
as well, or anybody who is one fifty nine and

612
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,480
a half could be as well. As Murray State's scoring,

613
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,680
that could be a little high in this game. It's

614
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:08,799
come off of one sixty one. But I think Murray

615
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:10,200
State's the right side for sure.

616
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,559
Speaker 2: Murray State feels incredibly too easy.

617
00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:16,759
Speaker 1: I don't see I don't see how they don't just

618
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200
rip Drake here, like honestly, and I don't do this

619
00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:20,759
very often.

620
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:22,559
Speaker 2: I'm never going to release these for clients.

621
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: But a Tulsa money line to Murray State money line parlay,

622
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160
tell me how that loses. I mean, there's just you

623
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,480
know what I mean, Like I if the market's gonna

624
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:33,920
move two points to Tulsa and then you got Murray

625
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,559
State here just needing a win, like the other thing

626
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:39,119
with Drake that'll point out. Okay, this is this is

627
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,000
Henderson's first year. When I looked at this roster coming

628
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,079
into the year, I thought Owen Larson was the one

629
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,519
guy that stuck out to be a truly like I thought,

630
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,359
you know, he's when you look at the rest of

631
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:53,400
the roster, he's their best player. Every everything's going to

632
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,240
sort of revolve around him. And what happened was he

633
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:59,519
started the season hurt month and a half, two months

634
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:01,880
go by, he didn't come, but he came over with

635
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Henderson from South Dakota State. So I just don't think

636
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:08,440
he's really truly like, even though he's back playing rob,

637
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,319
I don't think he's ever really gotten in the mix

638
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:12,960
with this team. He's not a fishing at all. I mean,

639
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,559
he's up to playing thirty two minutes a game. Last game,

640
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,559
one for six from three. He doesn't score a ton,

641
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:24,079
doesn't really do much rebounds, you know, he doesn't Bee

642
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,440
is one assist. Like he's out there for thirty two

643
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,200
minutes a game, But like, what does he really do?

644
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:29,759
Speaker 2: Right?

645
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,319
Speaker 1: So that was supposed to be your best player on

646
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,440
top of that will exact exact day. I'm again just

647
00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:39,640
butchering names left and right. I think it's exact. I

648
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,599
think it's how it's pronounced. But he hasn't been out.

649
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,519
He hasn't played since the Illinois State game, so he's

650
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:49,279
been out for five games. He's probably been one of

651
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,799
the more impactful players on this team. So I think

652
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:55,079
this is kind of becoming a throwaway year for Drake.

653
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,680
I still think they get credit for the name on

654
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,160
the front of the jersey, they get credit for playing

655
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,039
at home, and I just I don't think they're in

656
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:06,839
the same stratosphere right now as Murray State. So it

657
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,119
feels easy, feels too easy, but maybe it is. That's

658
00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:13,440
the thing with college basketball sometimes you know, this isn't

659
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,079
like the other sports. Sometimes like there's so many games

660
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:19,079
on the board that sometimes there's one out there, especially

661
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:22,480
in a smaller league, where it just is like a gift, right,

662
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:25,839
And I would not be I hate to use that term,

663
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:28,480
but I would not be surprised if we showed up

664
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:31,240
tomorrow morning and we were all like, Wow, Murray State

665
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:33,039
minus five and a half was kind of a gift,

666
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:36,039
because I'd really be surprised if they don't just rip

667
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,359
Drake here like the ball would have to be going in.

668
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:42,319
You know, you'd have to get a couple banked in

669
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,680
threes here for Drake to hang around in this game.

670
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,880
I just think Murray State's so much better, and my

671
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,240
numbers like right in line with that. But as I

672
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:52,519
think it through, I'm just like, no, you know, Larson

673
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:55,960
hasn't done anything, Zach hasn't played in five games. How

674
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,920
does Drake hang with Murray State? So, Garth, I'm with

675
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,880
you right there. Murray State five and a half makes

676
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,799
a ton of sense.

677
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: Real quick to Garth Drake. Eight Missouri Valley games so

678
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:10,480
far this season, They've shot over forty five percent from

679
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:13,599
the field one time in eight games already, just to

680
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,960
show you the offense is going a little bit south here,

681
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:18,519
but the defense has picked up the last three, held

682
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:23,000
their last three opponents to under forty percent. Even doing that, Adam,

683
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,759
they wound up losing to Belmont. They wound up giving

684
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:30,200
up seventy three points to Southern Illinois and seventy forty U.

685
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,640
I see if those teams, just to clarify this point,

686
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,960
if those teams can get to seventy three and seventy

687
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,400
four not even shooting forty percent, Murray State is gonna

688
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,160
shoot better than forty percent. Yeah, probably land somewhere in

689
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,039
the eighties. Last thing I know, Murray State is not

690
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,359
you know, it's an Ohio Valley team previously, and they

691
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,799
have not been in the MVC all that long. But

692
00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:58,359
I feel like Drake is one of those gold standards

693
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,359
of the MVC that always whenever they play, even at

694
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,160
nine and ten this year, they still wear that bullsseye.

695
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,880
Teams still want to beat the heck out with Drake

696
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,519
for what Drake has done to them in the past.

697
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,559
It hasn't happened often with Murray State. Understand they've only

698
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,440
been in this league two three years, but you know,

699
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:16,800
these are games you get up for if you're a

700
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:17,559
Drake opponent.

701
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: All right, Garth and I are teaming up for the

702
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,000
second leg of the parlay. I can't I can't come

703
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:24,519
on here.

704
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:28,039
Speaker 1: Use the term gift Garth is like, it's my favorite

705
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,280
favorite play of the slate, and then just leave it

706
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,800
out there. So Leg two, my leg teaming up with Garth,

707
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,639
Murray State minus five and a half. Again, just the

708
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,039
matchup is not good for Drake here and they are

709
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:42,440
not in a good place. Murray State's playing great ball,

710
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,000
why would they not continue to do that here? So yeah,

711
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:49,760
let's let's do that. So one more leg of the parlay.

712
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,000
Rob Bino's got twenty five minutes to lock it in.

713
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:54,400
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go back. I see some

714
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:56,519
folks talking about this game, and I got to tell

715
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:59,760
you a quick story, Rob. So my two lane shirt

716
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,360
right here was a gift from Buy You Bets by

717
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,719
You and I went to So. I called him up

718
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,280
like a day before and I said, Hey, I think

719
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,599
I'm going to change my flight home, so I have

720
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,840
a five hour layover in New Orleans.

721
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: Can you go to a two pm two lane game

722
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,920
with me? He's like, yeah, I'm in I can do that.

723
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: So I fly to New Orleans, which was out of

724
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,920
the way trying trying to fly back from Texas to

725
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,519
New York. I fly over to New Orleans and he said,

726
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:29,719
all right, just uber from the airport to my house.

727
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,280
We'll then take an uber down to the game. So

728
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,480
I uber to his house, throw my stuff down. He's like, Trig,

729
00:35:35,519 --> 00:35:37,880
I've already went to the bookstore for you. You're ready to go.

730
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:42,199
It gives me the two lane shirt. So great, great gift,

731
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,280
I said. The other day. Three three programs have gifted

732
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,599
me gear and then by You has also gifted me gear.

733
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,639
So that's where the shirt is from him and I go. Actually,

734
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:53,920
it was the year two Lane was really good and

735
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,079
it was probably the beginning of the end for their

736
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:59,199
NCAA tournament hopes because this was like mid February. They

737
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,079
lost a game to which Tita State and they kind

738
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:02,400
of like fizzled out that year.

739
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: But we're that was two three years ago. Now we're

740
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,639
at this year. However, this game as I as I

741
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:11,639
scroll through, it's a lot of games tonight, so I

742
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:14,840
gotta find my place here. But the two A Green

743
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,400
Wave are on the road. They're heading to Boca Ratone.

744
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: I got to go to this place last year, the

745
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,800
Ellie rob Vino down in Boca Ratone, the Eleanor Baldwin Arena.

746
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,440
Only twenty nine hundred seats there. That's a great atmosphere

747
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,840
as well. When the kids are there, which I believe

748
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,599
they're back from spring break, that should be pretty full.

749
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,880
I saw Florida Atlantic play on Sunday. I don't know,

750
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,000
I haven't been. I gotta be honest. Most of the

751
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:43,559
teams in this league don't really impress me. That's why

752
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,679
I'm kind of high on Tulsa because I've I've gotten

753
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:48,320
to go to a few American Conference games this year.

754
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,679
Wasn't overly impressed with Florida Atlantic, wasn't overly impressed with Temple.

755
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,679
Florida Atlantic did get the win. They're gonna turn around

756
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,480
and lay eleven to two lane here. I don't know,

757
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,519
that's a pretty big number. What do you think two

758
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:03,400
lane Florida Atlantic? And do you have anything on the

759
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,320
total in this one?

760
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think we're where Florida Atlantic is concerned at

761
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,119
this point in time. Adam, you and the adjemakers have

762
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,199
this pegg I mean, but you look toward the over

763
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,440
with this team because their scoring ability, really good shooting team,

764
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:23,000
really fast paced, really high scoring and ken Tulane defender.

765
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:24,599
You know, Ron Hunter is never going to come out

766
00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:27,199
of that matchup zone, right, So you do have to

767
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,880
be able to shoot from three a little bit. You

768
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,239
have to be able, you have to really have to

769
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,880
move the ball against this particular team. And I watched

770
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:41,320
that game on Sunday, North Texas and two Lane just

771
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,239
to see if North Texas could slam the door on

772
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,559
the two lane offense. The game went seventy one to

773
00:37:48,679 --> 00:37:52,440
sixty three, but North Texas did better offensively than you

774
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,679
would expect them to do, which leaves me somewhere in

775
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,679
the land of doubt as to how twu lane is

776
00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:04,639
going to stop FAU from scoring. That said, fa U

777
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:06,440
is not the greatest defense in the world. They want

778
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,599
to do one thing. They want to do one thing

779
00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:11,559
only really a score the basketball. They can do it.

780
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:14,559
Can they do it at a high enough rate to

781
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:19,119
cover this type of number somewhat questionable, But then again,

782
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,679
I have doubts about the two lane offense, which has

783
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,719
been so sporadic, And now you have to go on

784
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,199
the road. On the road against UTSA, no big deal.

785
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,920
On the road against East Carolina, no big deal. They

786
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,400
won those two games. But on the road at Florida

787
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,280
Atlantic you just mentioned cozy type Jim. Maybe not the

788
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,000
most raucous environment out there, but I would think Florida

789
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:49,039
State excersby Florida Atlantic finds their way to like eighty

790
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:52,960
five plus points in this game. Home games, excuse me,

791
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
against Memphis and Wichita, and for those who haven't seen

792
00:38:57,039 --> 00:39:00,360
Wichita yet, they're just a monster as all. He's on

793
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,039
the boards and FAU is able to get to eighty

794
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:08,480
five at home against them eighty nine against Memphis in

795
00:39:08,519 --> 00:39:12,800
this building, two of the better defensive squads in the league.

796
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,000
I don't know the two lanes matchup zone is good

797
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:17,079
enough to stop them from scoring. So the question becomes

798
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:21,079
at him, do you trust Florid Atlantic's defense enough to

799
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:25,079
cover this number? I can't say that I do. It

800
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:28,800
would lean me toward total, probably lean me toward over

801
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,239
money's gotten there already one fifty three to one fifty six.

802
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,480
Or the more sure fire play for me probably would

803
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,599
be the FAU team total over eighty two and a

804
00:39:39,639 --> 00:39:42,880
half against Tulane. I just mentioned what they did against

805
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,239
Memphis and Wichita in this building, So to me, that

806
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,639
would probably be the best way to look.

807
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:52,079
Speaker 2: Bayer's convinced that the l has like now the invitational rims.

808
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:53,760
I forgot. He's told me that a couple times.

809
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: Is he is convinced that they that building has extremely

810
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,559
soft rims.

811
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: I guess it make sense a little bit.

812
00:40:01,159 --> 00:40:04,039
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic shoots so much better at home than they

813
00:40:04,119 --> 00:40:04,679
do on the road.

814
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: They managed to beat Temple.

815
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,119
Speaker 1: I was at the Temple game on Sunday again, wasn't

816
00:40:09,159 --> 00:40:11,599
overly impressed with either of these teams. But Florida Atlantic

817
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,199
ended up winning that game, going three for nineteen from three. Like,

818
00:40:16,599 --> 00:40:18,880
you know, looking back, like the way that that game

819
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,760
played out, feel like they should have lost. I think

820
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,719
maybe we'll talk about Temple in a minute. That might

821
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,599
that might reflect more on Temple than it does on

822
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:27,800
Florida Atlantic that they were able to sort of just

823
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,400
still win that game shooting the ball that poorly from distance.

824
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:34,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you make a really good point.

825
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: The the Iran Hunter matchup zone, which is is gonna

826
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,480
be what he plays no matter what, just not been

827
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:43,000
very good this year. And if Bayou's correct and those

828
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:46,079
rims are as soft as he claims, which hey, listen,

829
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,280
it's a real thing, right, every every building is different,

830
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,000
every site line is different, places have different rims. Like that,

831
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,880
there is an element of truth to that, right, I

832
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,400
don't I don't know, you know, I think the soft

833
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,960
rims thing gets a laugh, But I mean just go

834
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:04,840
look a look at how the ball goes in at MAUI, right,

835
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:08,079
I mean, every shot goes in. Again, I'm not saying

836
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:09,599
you should bet on that, but I do think that

837
00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:12,639
you should have the venue the team is playing in mind.

838
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,639
So in this case, I thought the number was big.

839
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:17,639
But yeah, Rob, I'm with you. I could not. I

840
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:21,280
could not take Tulane with the rate at which they're

841
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,960
giving up points this year, and knowing that if Florida

842
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,400
Atlantic does shoot it better at home, and maybe those

843
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,920
Rims are a little soft. And suddenly that three for

844
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:32,000
nineteen from three, which they still managed to beat Temple with,

845
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:36,320
turns into let's say nine for nineteen from three. Maybe

846
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,960
the math on that is a fifteen point Florida Atlantic win.

847
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,559
So and I think what I forget? I don't know

848
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,960
what the team total is. I had eighty four point

849
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,119
two for my projection here, So does that put it over?

850
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,559
Speaker 2: I think you said like the eighty two.

851
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 3: And a half it shows.

852
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe the Owls get their points because I'll note

853
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,639
that they did not shoot the ball particularly well against Temple.

854
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:00,679
But again that's the that's a totally different gym. By

855
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,360
you says we should do a meet up in Vegas

856
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,239
for March Madness. By you, you don't want to come back

857
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,280
to Central New York. Turning Stone, We got by you

858
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,679
up here, another good bye you story. You got him

859
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,320
up here. It was easier for him to get a

860
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,280
flight home out of Albany. I said, no problem, I'm

861
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,360
going to the game. So it was the year that

862
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:20,679
Yukon or Albany was the regional So I was like,

863
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,400
I'll just bring you to the airport and then I'm

864
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,280
going to go to the because the games were at night.

865
00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:26,199
Speaker 2: I drove.

866
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,119
Speaker 1: I think it was the first time he saw snow,

867
00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:31,000
and like I drove him through a snowstorm to the

868
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:33,119
airport and I'm just like ripping through it because I

869
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:35,280
do this like every day, and I'm pretty sure he

870
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,599
was terrified. Like we saw there was a tractor trailer

871
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:39,159
just laying on the side of the road. I'm like,

872
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:41,519
that's just how it goes up here, Like, don't worry

873
00:42:41,519 --> 00:42:43,440
about them, They'll get out eventually.

874
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think he was, uh he was terrified

875
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,039
on that ride. Yeah, there he is.

876
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That's That's just another day here in

877
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,599
Central New York. By you, it gets way worse when

878
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,119
you get out to Buffalo. I've seen driving from like

879
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:00,880
Buffalo to Erie, I think I've seen nine tractor trailers

880
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,199
blown over in one in one time. Actually, it was

881
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,800
when I was going to meet Brian Power for the

882
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,159
Pit Duke game a couple of years ago. I mean

883
00:43:09,199 --> 00:43:12,119
it was like just there was seven of them off

884
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:13,719
the road. Yeah, that's just how it goes.

885
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 3: Keith, really quick, Keith, I don't know if that was

886
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,679
a suggestion or if you're really going to be in

887
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,960
Las Vegas, but if you are, I will be there

888
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,159
at the start of March Madness. I'll be there the

889
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,320
nineteenth to the twenty fourth. So if you're actually going

890
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,079
to be there, certainly we could hook up. If that

891
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:33,199
was just a suggestion that the three of us hook up,

892
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,440
then you know, I'll be there. You two guys would

893
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,079
have to make the arrangements. But I will be there

894
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:41,000
nineteen to twenty four. My son's band actually is playing

895
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,519
in Las Vegas at ford Walk Bowl.

896
00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:45,559
Speaker 2: Oh nice.

897
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:48,079
Speaker 3: I think it's called Fordwalk Bowl when those nights playing

898
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:50,000
in a room in Las Vegas. So yeah, we'll be there, Keith.

899
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:50,920
If you're there, we'll see you.

900
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm doing for March Madness. Yeah,

901
00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:55,639
I may go to the games in Buffalo.

902
00:43:56,119 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo's a regional site this year, and I love they

903
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,400
put on that's a real good like I've been to

904
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,320
Buffalo and Al many multiple times for the NCAA tournament, Like,

905
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,000
but Buffalo does it better? Key Bank Center where the

906
00:44:08,039 --> 00:44:10,920
Savers play. I really enjoy that one, So.

907
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,199
Speaker 2: I may be there. I may go to Vegas the

908
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:13,719
week before.

909
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,199
Speaker 1: I can probably get passes to the Whack Tournament, the

910
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,840
final Whack Tournament ever, So we'll see. But I will

911
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,880
be around. You know, I'll be around. If you ever

912
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,239
see me at a game where you're like, hey, I

913
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:26,719
want to go to that game with you.

914
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,039
Speaker 2: I'm in your town. Just hit me up.

915
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: I'll make it work. I've had a great time with Truman.

916
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,400
We went to that Tulsa, North Texas game the other day.

917
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,119
I am not going to go to this one, but

918
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:38,920
big time I will. I will talk about it. This

919
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:44,320
one is in. I am home finally. I was cruising

920
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,320
the Philly area. I was down visiting my sister and

921
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,719
my one and a half year old nephew for a

922
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,480
few days. Had a good time going to games out

923
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,119
in the Philly area. So many different options to hit

924
00:44:55,119 --> 00:44:57,199
a game. I didn't realize how quickly you could, like

925
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,119
get to DC Baltimore. You're in a very accessible area, Robino,

926
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,239
you can be like in five different big cities, very quickly.

927
00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:09,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, bothmore. I mean I go to Camden Yard's quite

928
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:12,239
a bit too. It's about an hour ten from my home.

929
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,159
It's it's not under it. And for college basketball you

930
00:45:15,199 --> 00:45:18,679
have UD Delaware pretty close as well. He can get

931
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:22,039
some coast election in So yeah, it's very accessible for

932
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,760
sporting events.

933
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,159
Speaker 2: Central New York. You can't be anywhere quickly.

934
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,039
Speaker 1: To get to get to city, you know, I my

935
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:31,400
little town is whatever, but to get to anywhere like

936
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,760
quote unquote bigger. I'm thirty minutes from Utica, thirty minutes

937
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,360
down to the Dome where this game is going to

938
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,320
be played tonight. I'll be on my couch because it's

939
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,960
cold as shit here. I'm not going out today. I'll

940
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,440
be watching this one from the couch nine pm. The

941
00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:49,000
locals will complain, but acc the ACC has that nine

942
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,920
pm national TV slot, rob and the Syracuse keeps put

943
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,800
getting put in it. So, uh nine pm tip here,

944
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,239
which people will complain about, but they'll still back in

945
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,239
the day, no one would care.

946
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: Now people are out a little.

947
00:46:01,679 --> 00:46:04,039
Speaker 1: Bit on Syracuse basketball, so it might affect the crowd

948
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,920
boy Syracuse over the weekend. It was funny to me Rovino,

949
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:13,559
the Boston College Twitter was hyping up their sellout. It

950
00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:16,920
was all Syracuse fans. So the Boston College finally sold

951
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,960
out a basketball game. It was all CUS fans and

952
00:46:20,159 --> 00:46:23,239
Qus went in there and managed to lose to Boston

953
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,199
College in overtime. It is something that this Syracuse team

954
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,760
does better than anyone. Finally get a little bit momentum

955
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,000
and find a way to just completely kill it. Earlier

956
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:36,519
this year, they beat Tennessee, they come out the next game,

957
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:38,239
beat Saint Joe's, lose to Hofstra.

958
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,039
Speaker 2: All the momentum gone right.

959
00:46:40,119 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: They rattle off three straight ACC wins, road wins at

960
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Georgia Tech pitt they beat Florida State at home.

961
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 2: What do they do?

962
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,679
Speaker 1: Go to bc AS like a six point favorite and

963
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,480
find a way to choke that game at the end.

964
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,599
Now they come back to the Dome. I gotta be honest,

965
00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:58,079
I kind of disagree with this line move. I think

966
00:46:58,119 --> 00:47:01,000
this is a good matchup for Syracuse. I think that

967
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,320
this is a you know, a game that their defense

968
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,199
can alter a game. They might be able to score

969
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:07,400
at the rim a little bit. And yet it's moving

970
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,400
toward v Tech. What do you think You're Virginia Tech, Syracuse,

971
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,719
do you think the Orange are live in the Dome tonight.

972
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll reverse this parlay and maybe we could collaborate

973
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,519
here at them, because I really want to play Syracuse

974
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,679
in some way, shape or form. Now, Virginia Tech the

975
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,800
SMU game last week, I think they called SMU in

976
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,280
a tough situational spot, but they made the most of

977
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,199
it and almost when that's the game where Boopy Miller

978
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,599
hit the half court shot at the buzzer to win

979
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,599
for SMU and get put the l on Virginia Tech.

980
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:43,079
But Virginia Tech has scored better lately, but they just

981
00:47:43,119 --> 00:47:46,719
don't defend. And my options here are do I want

982
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,519
to lay three and a half with Syracuse or do

983
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:51,199
I just want to go, you know, sitting from the

984
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:54,800
television and root for Syracuse to score points at seventy

985
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,480
seven and a half. And I just feel like they

986
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,480
can do that in this game. The Boston College lost,

987
00:48:01,159 --> 00:48:03,519
you know, you're right, there's no excuse to lose to BC.

988
00:48:04,119 --> 00:48:06,559
In fact, I should probably be looking at Pittsburgh as

989
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:10,199
well tonight going to BC off a loss. But to me,

990
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,039
Syracuse should get the seventy eight points in this game.

991
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:18,079
Virginia Tech has no problem giving these numbers up seventy seven,

992
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,840
like I say to SMU seventy six to Notre Dame.

993
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,480
How do you get caught up in a game that

994
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:27,440
lands on one sixty five against Notre Dame. It's just

995
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,400
not possible to get to one sixty five against Notre Dame.

996
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,280
But they did score seventy eight, give up seventy five

997
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,239
against Cal etc. All these teams are in the offensive

998
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,360
range of Syracuse, which I do believe will have a

999
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,119
pretty easy time at the rim here tonight. Virginia Tech

1000
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:48,679
is not a great rim defending team. The problem for

1001
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,079
me is I want to lay the three and a

1002
00:48:50,119 --> 00:48:51,920
half as well. I just don't know which is the

1003
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,039
better side. I'll ask you this for my sake, because

1004
00:48:56,079 --> 00:48:57,920
I'm going to play this game one way or the other.

1005
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,119
Is it better for me to play over seventy seven

1006
00:49:01,159 --> 00:49:03,000
and a half, which I think Syracuse will get to,

1007
00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:06,480
or is it better for me to have Syracuse win

1008
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:08,599
by two buckets win by four. Three and a half

1009
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,519
just seems small than this game. But I think the

1010
00:49:11,599 --> 00:49:14,440
reason why I'm not tilting that way is because I

1011
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,320
don't want to sell Virginia Tech's offense short in this game.

1012
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,039
I think this game could end up with both teams

1013
00:49:19,039 --> 00:49:19,639
in the eighties.

1014
00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: So you have a we have a third option here

1015
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:26,840
for the parlay, which would be just Syracuse money line,

1016
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,440
because you know, I wouldn't play Syracuse money line for clients,

1017
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:32,480
but certainly Syracuse money line and three team parlay makes sense.

1018
00:49:33,199 --> 00:49:36,800
I really do like the Syracuse defense. I think it's

1019
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:39,639
I mean, yes, it was aided by overtime. I can't

1020
00:49:39,639 --> 00:49:42,159
believe they gave eighty one points up to Boston College.

1021
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,639
That's really just not And you know, the game before though,

1022
00:49:46,639 --> 00:49:48,880
ninety four to eighty six is a little bit deceiving

1023
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,840
because Florida State obviously is going to play a more

1024
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,719
uptempo game, They're gonna play a higher scoring game. Syracuse

1025
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,960
really led that game throughout, So it's like I think

1026
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,800
they just, like, you know, that ninety four eighty six

1027
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,480
a little bit deceiving because Syracuse never really had to

1028
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:07,480
like totally lock in defensively. They kind of always had

1029
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,760
Florida State at arms length in that game. So here

1030
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:14,000
like this is the type of game I could actually

1031
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,280
see their defense showing up potentially, But like you were saying,

1032
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,760
like Virginia Tech, even with Toby lowallback. Not a great

1033
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,960
rim defense, and you have to take away the paint

1034
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:30,079
against the Syracuse team. They can't shoot. I mean, yeah,

1035
00:50:30,079 --> 00:50:31,960
they've been a little bit better from three lately, even

1036
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,880
with improved three point shooting, this team's still thirty three

1037
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,119
point two percent from three. It's it's outside the top

1038
00:50:38,159 --> 00:50:40,679
two hundred nationally. They're not a great jump shooting team.

1039
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,480
They're a really bad free throw shooting team right, like

1040
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,880
worse in the country. But if you can't defend the rim,

1041
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,320
it allows guys like William Kyle, who is I love

1042
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,920
this guy, I mean just an absolute electric player, unbelievable defender,

1043
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:59,840
great rebounder, but like the only way he's scoring is

1044
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:01,280
ripping the rim off on a dunk.

1045
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,079
Speaker 2: Like he's not going to score any way out.

1046
00:51:04,199 --> 00:51:08,519
Speaker 1: So if you can't defend the rim against Syracuse, you

1047
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,960
open it up to William Kyle actually contributing offensively. And

1048
00:51:13,039 --> 00:51:15,639
that's a big deal to Syracuse because teams that do

1049
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,760
defend the rim, well, he's not gonna do anything offensively

1050
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,320
because he can't hit a free throw and he's not

1051
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,559
going to be able to really score anywhere other than

1052
00:51:23,679 --> 00:51:26,320
just like sort of be you know, bullying his way

1053
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,039
through the lane and getting a dunk. That's how he's

1054
00:51:28,039 --> 00:51:30,800
going to score points. So if you're gonna let him

1055
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,639
get ten points just on like rock in the rim,

1056
00:51:33,679 --> 00:51:37,199
on you, that is a huge boost for Syracuse, right

1057
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,440
because they don't get a ton of offense from other places.

1058
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,840
That's you know, you know, obviously Donnie Freeman. It's a

1059
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,679
totally different offensive team since he's been back. He can

1060
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,119
get his own points, right, Like, he's averaging twenty point

1061
00:51:51,119 --> 00:51:54,800
two points per game. Totally different offensive team since he

1062
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,559
stepped back on the floor. But still, I just think

1063
00:51:57,599 --> 00:51:59,920
that if you're Virginia Tech and you can't keep Will

1064
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,760
Kyle off the offensive glass or getting in the paint,

1065
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,400
it opens a lot up for Syracuse. So Rob, you know,

1066
00:52:05,519 --> 00:52:07,599
I'm kind of okay with either because I think they're

1067
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:09,760
gonna score their points and I think they're gonna win

1068
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:10,119
this game.

1069
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: I feel like I've had a pretty good gauge.

1070
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, when Syracuse wins and loses, I don't always

1071
00:52:15,559 --> 00:52:17,719
bet them because like a lot of times that the

1072
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,920
number gets like a little bit more inflated for what

1073
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,079
I want it to beat for Syracuse. Like over the weekend,

1074
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,480
I thought it was a good I thought they would

1075
00:52:25,519 --> 00:52:27,400
probably win. There was no way I was gonna lay

1076
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,000
six on the road at BC, and they obviously found

1077
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,519
a way to choke that game away.

1078
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:33,079
Speaker 2: Here.

1079
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: Like I'll tell you right now, they're gonna win this game.

1080
00:52:35,519 --> 00:52:38,000
I don't know that that's you know, I just I've

1081
00:52:38,039 --> 00:52:40,679
watched this team so much over the years. This is

1082
00:52:40,679 --> 00:52:42,519
the type of game they win. If they win, they

1083
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:45,000
probably cover three and a half, but they're probably gonna

1084
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:47,800
hit there. What's the team total on this one? I've

1085
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,079
got seventy nine point four for.

1086
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:56,639
Speaker 3: Seventy seven and a half? Is the number here? Real quick, Adam.

1087
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,119
Just I went through some numbers because I've noticed this

1088
00:52:59,199 --> 00:53:03,639
a lot recently in handicapping since conference season started. The

1089
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:06,800
overall statistics, the season long statistics tend to vary from

1090
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,440
what's going on in conference play. How about Syracuse inside

1091
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,360
the conference? I guess I'll count the Clemson game just

1092
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,719
for the heck of it. Clemson they shoot from three,

1093
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,039
probably at their norm thirty three percent. But after that,

1094
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,559
Georgia Tech they shoot thirty seven percent. PIT they shoot

1095
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:27,800
forty five to five, Florida State they shoot forty point seven.

1096
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,760
BC they shoot thirty nine. It's like four consecutive games

1097
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,840
where they've been above what their season three point percentage is.

1098
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:38,199
I think the point you make about Donnie Freeman being

1099
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,920
back does a lot to the offense, including open things

1100
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,559
up for their guys. I'm gonna say this, it's gonna

1101
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:48,400
cost us one eighty five. As I look here, well one,

1102
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,800
there's a lot of one seventy five's out there. So

1103
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,800
I'm gonna middle this up and say one eighty Syracuse

1104
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,079
money line. I think in a three teamer it's the

1105
00:53:57,159 --> 00:54:01,360
safest play. I think they'll win this game. So yeah,

1106
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,800
my end of it would be, let's try money line Syracuse.

1107
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:06,360
I just win the game at home.

1108
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 2: Me too.

1109
00:54:08,119 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, I think their defense could

1110
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:12,800
show up here. They've they've defended well. I was at

1111
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,000
the Tennessee game earlier this year. It was a spot

1112
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,880
where they kind of needed one at home. They played

1113
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,840
tremendous defense. If you can listen, if you can defend Tennessee,

1114
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:22,559
you can find a way to defend Virginia Tech.

1115
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, I really like them to win here. So

1116
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,480
that is a three teamer.

1117
00:54:26,679 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: We've got a few minutes left, So what I'm gonna

1118
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,079
do is this as I sort of calculate what the

1119
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:32,320
odds are on that. I'm gonna bring my guy, Colin

1120
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,159
Gregory in and Rob you have sort of been an

1121
00:54:36,199 --> 00:54:42,039
assassin on these Conference USA totals of late. There's been

1122
00:54:42,079 --> 00:54:44,519
a couple of good ones the FIU. The last couple

1123
00:54:44,639 --> 00:54:47,719
FIU games come to mind. I think they played Kennesaw

1124
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,039
in one of those games. So Colin Gregory wants to

1125
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:53,639
talk Kennesaw State, Sam Houston, Let's get a little Conference

1126
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,320
USA chatter to close out the show.

1127
00:54:56,639 --> 00:55:00,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kennt Kennesaw State has been on my radar, Colin,

1128
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:04,519
as far as total is concerned. Antoine Petways group, they

1129
00:55:04,639 --> 00:55:09,039
just play so fast. Now, I'm gonna say this half

1130
00:55:09,159 --> 00:55:14,239
jokingly but half seriously. I played the FIU Kennesaw State

1131
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,880
game over the total last week, and Kennesaw had been

1132
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,119
off of or FIU had been off of a couple

1133
00:55:22,119 --> 00:55:24,159
of games where they didn't make it over the total,

1134
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,840
so I played a bounce back theory. It did happen.

1135
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,719
But the next day the college basketball gambling scandal came out,

1136
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,559
and of course Kennesaw State gets caught up in that net,

1137
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,239
and I'm like, wow, I can't I don't know if

1138
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:37,880
I could play this team right now, I don't know

1139
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,159
what's going to happen. But they bounced right back and

1140
00:55:40,199 --> 00:55:45,199
scored eighty one against Western Kentucky on Saturday, which leads

1141
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,079
me to believe that there's probably not a heck of

1142
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:52,199
a lot that's going to change a the way they play,

1143
00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:55,519
be the way they score. Now, what it did do

1144
00:55:55,679 --> 00:55:57,360
is it took Sime and codd a lout of the

1145
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,719
lineup Saturday, which is why you wait and see what's

1146
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,400
gonna happen here, and without Coddle, they still got to

1147
00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:08,239
eighty one. I still have my questions about whether or

1148
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,360
not they can get over in this game because Sam

1149
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Houston has been far more defensive oriented than offensive oriented,

1150
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,440
and I think the odds makers when they set lines

1151
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:24,840
on Kennesaw games, they use Kennesaw as the primary primary

1152
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,519
style for how they handicap. I know it's done the

1153
00:56:27,559 --> 00:56:29,559
numbers wise, but I still think that it's done with

1154
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,199
Kennesau State first and foremost open one sixty six all

1155
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,119
the way down to one sixty three and a half.

1156
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,599
I'm not sure that I disagree on the basis that

1157
00:56:38,679 --> 00:56:42,320
Coddle's out of your lineup and Sam Houston State hasn't

1158
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,719
really allowed teams to get up and down against them,

1159
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,119
so it's a clash of wills here. I would somewhat

1160
00:56:49,159 --> 00:56:52,840
side with under in this instance. Kennesaw State is on

1161
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,719
the road. I see a lot of money going towards

1162
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,239
Sam Houston four and a half all the way to

1163
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,639
six and a half in some spots right now. I'm

1164
00:57:00,679 --> 00:57:03,199
not sure I agree or disagree, but probably an under

1165
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,880
for me in this game. Keennessae State Sam Houston.

1166
00:57:05,599 --> 00:57:09,599
Speaker 2: State, I think I agree with that Sam Houston money.

1167
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:10,960
I don't think.

1168
00:57:11,639 --> 00:57:13,559
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see guys that were like

1169
00:57:13,639 --> 00:57:16,159
kind of caught up in a gambling scandal, like just

1170
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,920
sort of rushed back in. I feel I feel like

1171
00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:23,360
if I had to guess, he's probably not playing tonight,

1172
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,199
and if he's he's out. I think that that's listen,

1173
00:57:26,239 --> 00:57:28,360
like when you he's kind of your guy, that's gonna

1174
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,639
get you a bucket. When it's when you you know,

1175
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,920
on the road, you need to put a ball in

1176
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,519
the hands of someone on this Kenni State Saw State roster.

1177
00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:39,159
It's probably coddle right, like that's you know, twenty point

1178
00:57:39,199 --> 00:57:42,440
two points per game. I mean, you're just right there alone.

1179
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,199
You're taking out a guy that is well, potentially, I

1180
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:48,719
don't know if you are not, but like taking out

1181
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,599
a guy that's average twenty point two points per game

1182
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:55,039
did not play over the weekend against Western Kentucky. So like,

1183
00:57:55,119 --> 00:57:59,039
that's pretty notable here, and listen, Sam Houston, this team's

1184
00:57:59,079 --> 00:57:59,599
grown on me.

1185
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:01,079
Speaker 2: I I didn't.

1186
00:58:01,239 --> 00:58:03,079
Speaker 1: I wasn't super high on them coming into the year.

1187
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:06,920
I actually bet against them and incorrectly. Probably the only

1188
00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:09,440
Sam Houston game I bet this year was earlier this year,

1189
00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:14,280
I played Wyoming against Sam Houston in this building. They

1190
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,400
got a really impressive win in that game, seventy eight

1191
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,599
seventy And I'll note rob they've only had six home

1192
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:23,360
games all year. They played a lot of road games

1193
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,519
in non conference play. This team has only played six

1194
00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:28,480
home games this year. They're five and one on their

1195
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,960
home floor, and the lone loss was to Liberty, which

1196
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,920
is not a bad loss, as we know that is

1197
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
the you know, Liberty is one of the better teams

1198
00:58:38,039 --> 00:58:41,519
in this league. So I agree with the Sam Houston money.

1199
00:58:41,519 --> 00:58:43,760
I'm not sure I agree. I'm not sure I have

1200
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,280
a good enough read on this team to actually play it.

1201
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,559
But like, man, this open four and a half. I

1202
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:52,000
think that that was if Coddle is out, which it

1203
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,039
looks like this move suggests he is.

1204
00:58:54,079 --> 00:58:56,239
Speaker 2: That opener was a very very low at four and

1205
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,119
a half, and I would be no Coddle.

1206
00:58:59,159 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: I'd be closer to So if you can still grab

1207
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,400
like the five and a half at Caesar's, some of

1208
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:04,960
these other books are still at five and a half,

1209
00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:09,760
that's not a terrible look on this slate. All right,

1210
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,559
we are we have reached the end of the show.

1211
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,559
I've calculated the parlay for the rep for everything Rob

1212
00:59:14,599 --> 00:59:16,800
and I play today. Check out that double the CBB

1213
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,400
Firepower package, but for our three team, and we're gonna

1214
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,800
give that to you right here. We've got the Creighton

1215
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,079
team total over eighty one and a half. We've got

1216
00:59:26,199 --> 00:59:29,079
Murray State minus five and a half, and then Rob

1217
00:59:29,079 --> 00:59:31,760
and I are gonna team up really on really most

1218
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,119
of them. I get, I think we kind of agree

1219
00:59:33,119 --> 00:59:36,039
on all of these, but we're gonna team up. Syracuse

1220
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:39,760
money line minus one eighty that comes out to plus

1221
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,599
four sixty seven, but obviously shop around that Syracuse money line,

1222
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,320
Murray State minus five and a half, Creighton team total

1223
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,239
over eighty one and a half. We'll see you guys

1224
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,519
in the morning. Check out our joint package, and we'll

1225
00:59:51,519 --> 00:59:53,360
be back ten am to talk more hoops with you.

1226
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: Have a great day.
