Speaker 1: We have a ton of college basketball games to go
over today, Kelly in Vegas here wager Talk's last Call.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm still evicted.
Speaker 1: From my office and there is a lot of chaos
going around my house early this morning, so we're gonna
try to avoid dog noises and so forth. But apologies
to those that have to hear it. We're else gonna
have to hear from Trig because he's gonna join us
from Cameron Indoor after I told him not to worry
about it, So him and Rob Bino from the Full
Court Press are gonna be joining us after. But of
course before we're gonna check out with our guy VR.
You guys know him from the show beat on It.
You guys know him from wager Talk Today. You guys
know the King of the Power ratings, and that's what
we're gonna go over here first. Good morning everybody in
the comments section. Let's make some money today, is right, Shane.
That is our plan. If you guys have a question
for myself, for VR, for one of the Full Court
Press guys, please drop it in the chat and I
beg of you because again on an iPad right now
with odds logic and while it's a wonderful product. Odds
Logic dot com backslash calling in Vegas for a free
week trial. It is a little if there's a learning
curve for me on the iPad, br like, I'm so
used to having that second screen with it open and
you can use the search feature. Not on the iPad,
I'm like scrolling down to the seven hundreds trying to
find the game. So if you guys have a question
about a specific game, please use the rotation number. If
you don't know what the rotation number is, it is
the number to the left of the games. And if
you're not going to pony up to use odds Logic
for free for a week, wait you talk for odd
screen you can get those there as well.
Speaker 2: VR.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Thank you for joining us every single Saturday.
I know you have a busy Saturday after Valentine's Day.
Happy Balanine, Happy Valentine's Day. You are correct. Valentine's Day
not a big, big holiday that I like to celebrate.
Speaker 2: Shocker.
Speaker 1: Hopefully our friends kick their hangover we can go out
in the boat afterwards. That is my ideal romantic day.
So I can work on a tan so I could
be like VR, VR. Let's kind of get right into it.
I want to talk about your power ratings. You did
top five I think it was yesterday or the day
before on wager Talk today, but I'm looking at a
couple of teams still in the top ten, top fifteen,
whether it is on Ken Palm or Bortovic, and I'm
curious to see if you line up, so do me
a favor.
Speaker 2: Run through your top five really quick.
Speaker 1: If you guys want more analysis on it as to
why he has a couple of teams power rated differently
than others, you guys can watch the video, but I
want to know about those as well as teams like
six through like twelve, because there's a team that I
bet in Iowa State and I like them again today
and we'll break down that game later with Robb you know,
and Adam Trigger, but I really want to kind of
know right now. I've got a thirty to one ticket.
There's not much I could do. But if there's a
team that I like a little bit better, maybe holding
two tickets going into March.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get them now updated twice a week, just
because there's so much more data in college basketball than
you get in like college football. With these teams playing
so many games. I mean, we already have twenty four games.
That's two college football seasons if you throw in like
Championship Saturday as well. And that's why you get more
and more confident as the season progresses. Here's what I
got for my top five Duke number one, obviously strongest
power rated team, about a point better, point and a
half better than everyone else behind them. I have Houston, Arizona, Michigan, Florida.
Those are the five. Those are the top five. Those
are the five that I have top power rated. Next,
and here's where a few will will differ from me.
I have gun Zaga in the sixth spot. I have
Alabama now in the seventh spot. I have Iowa State
in the eighth spot.
Speaker 4: I have Purdue.
Speaker 3: Ninth, and I just moved Connectic. We just moved Connecticut
the tenth and downgraded Illinois out of the top ten.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. You know, I'm really still kicking myself for
the other night. I looked at Alabama, I looked at Florida,
and I didn't vet either one of them. And then
not six hours later, here comes your power rating videos,
and I'm like, those are some.
Speaker 2: Of these teams that I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, I'm looking at Iowa State today, So
I'm curious your thoughts on that game coming off the
TCU loss. I was on TCU on Tuesday night and
I haven't played since then. I've been really really selective
VR and it's been working out really well for me.
Today probably gonna have three, maybe four games on my cart.
We'll kind of see how things progress. But I wanted
to kind of get into the slate with you after
the show. Right after at noon eastern nine am Pacific,
you are going to be doing the steam Room, and
it's gonna be free for your premium subscribers as well
as wager talk insiders. So if you don't know what
wager talk insiders are, that is our service with YouTube
to get you a little bit of early access. Right
It's two dollars and ninety nine cents a month, basically free,
basically free to get early access to all things wager Talk,
including the steam Room with you. So let everybody know
what you're planning on doing after this show and kind
of give them a little bit of a preview of
what the steam Room looks like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be at one o'clock eastern. So specific,
we're going to go through all the college basketball steam
that I have access to, So that's all the stuff
that I moved through the accounts that I as well
as stuff that I received from other guys. Yourself included,
like you sent me your list as well, and I
like that you post it too so that they've better's
following up.
Speaker 4: So on wager talk.
Speaker 3: Can see that this is truly how the betting syndicates
make their money with a lot of volume. But that
doesn't necessarily mean you have to fire a lot of volume,
Like if your bank roll doesn't support it, then that's
not the way you should approach it. But you see,
that's what these guys are doing because they don't see
huge edges, they don't see locks, they don't see like
you know, this team can't lose. They see we have
an edge, the line's inefficient, slightly off, and we're gonna
bet it. We're gonna bet all these edges. So when
the dust settles, we're not sure which are gonna win,
which you're gonna lose, but we should cash more than
we trash long term, Over and over again, rinse and repeat.
That's pretty much what they do. So I'm gonna be
able to give you all of that. And what I
tell my guys is to most of you already sharp.
You follow the sports. You follow college basketball, that's why
you're here, so you do your own handicapping. I ask
my guys to come in there already with their leans,
like I have my sheet already. These are the signs
that I like based on all the power ratings that
I did last night. Now, as the information comes in,
as the bets come in, if they confirm boom, I
know to bet more on top and the release to subscribers.
Speaker 4: So that's what we'll be doing.
Speaker 3: But if you come in prepared with the leans you have,
that stuff may be coming in or even opposite and
then you have a decision to make. But I'll go
over all the information I have access to answer all
your questions because I work for you, and more importantly,
be accountable by going over last week's results, since our
last steam Room year to date results, and what the
goal is ahead to make sure we're profitable when December
thirty first rolls around, because that's the only goal I
have to make sure it's a winning your betting sports.
So yeah, if you're a long term subscriber, make sure
you join me. This is the first Saturday we're having it,
and you'll see why I'm having it on Saturday with
all the information. Next Saturday we'll have MMA NBA. Today
it's just college basketball, so that's what we'll focus on.
Speaker 1: Because I know there's a lot of other sports people
wish that we covered, and there's only so many hours
in the day.
Speaker 2: So VR, let's go through this list.
Speaker 1: It's pretty extensive, from art to Caesar, and I will
drop it in the chat. And some of these I
was kind of surprised by. So I guess my question
is with this exhaustive list, and I ask you something
similar every single week, so pardon me if you guys
are watching every single week. But with this exhaustive list,
some of these have moved to half a point, no problem.
Some of these have moved two full points, especially the total.
So kind of sifting through and trying to make sense
of some of this stuff. Right, I know, Duke is
gonna get a ton of money, but this sharp group
played Duke min twelve and a half. So are they
just trying to get ahead of it? Are they setting
something up? And how do we actually know, we don't.
We don't know if they're trying to dummy up this line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, more times than not.
Speaker 3: With those high profile, big games, you don't because it's
exactly what happens where they're going to bet the favorite,
knowing that the recreational betters are going to bet the
favorite as well. The books are in the tough position
because now they have the sharps and the public on
the same side. Huge risk. They now have to adjust
their line more significantly than they already did because of
that sharp money, which now gives them the opportunity to
come in and bet the other side, either have a
middle or if the other side is the position they
really like, they now get it at a better number
because they were able to steam and dumby up side
ay earlier in the day. That's going to happen mostly
with the high profile games.
Speaker 4: Kel. But with that said, like that's why I like
to say, if you have.
Speaker 3: Your own opinion already, then you don't have a problem.
Like if you already like Duke and they come in
on Duke, don't be too concerned whether they're dumbying it
up or not. The fact that they're not steaming the
dog yet is a good sign for you. The fact
that they're on the favorite is a good.
Speaker 4: Sign for you.
Speaker 3: So again later on in the day, if they come
back on the dog, maybe that isn't as good for you.
Speaker 4: But that's why. If you already have your.
Speaker 3: Own opinion and you trust it, all that sharp money
information should do is help confirm it or whatever other
data helps you confirm it. But you shouldn't like that,
shouldn't give you the pick. Like I don't piggyback these
plays blindly. The only stuff I do is sports. I
don't handicap. Then I know they win long term. Like today,
I bet a Japanese soccer play that I gave out
to my subscribers. I'll give it to you right now.
It's Kawasaki Frontell fro N t Al. Kawasaki took them
at plus one thirty plus one twenty in the three
way line Japanese soccer First Division. Now I don't know
anything about Japanese soccer, but for these guys to be
bet in Japanese soccer, obviously they do.
Speaker 4: And again soccer long term.
Speaker 3: I've turned a nice profit doing it, so I'll bet
that stuff blindly. That's a different story there, I have
to decide what number am I willing to tape, how
bad of a number if I missed the early number,
But otherwise I'll only use that information to confirm my
leans already. I'm not going to piggyback that stuff blindly
anymore because you go broke doing that, because you're guessing,
Like you just said, how are we going to know?
Speaker 4: Are they middling it? Are they betting it off screen
somewhere else?
Speaker 3: The opposite side, like, there's so much going on behind
the scenes, especially now with all the different markets, the
different exchanges, there's so many ways to get down Now
out you could get more down, more money than ever before.
And because of that again, like if you're trying to
figure out what this line moves and you're you're guessing,
it's a tough racket to turn a profit in.
Speaker 1: Our producer Louis just text me, I just bet the
Japanese soccer and I'm like, I haven't involved. I wouldn't
look for it yet. Uh, it's gonna take me a
little bit to find that. But it's hilarious. I'm guessing
he bet it at one of the Tennessee books that
had it readily available guys, I just dropped art to
Caesar from the West Gates super Book. I just dropped
his sharp place in the chat. So those are there
again with VR said, do your own handicapping. What you
agree with, great, you disagree, stay off the play, don't
force a play. It is an exhaustive list, and of
course use your bankroll appropriately.
Speaker 3: And since he sent that to you, Kel, they probably
bet five or six more because while we're just sitting
here right now on my instant messaging, it says Creighton
plus three and a half take Creyton plus and a half,
Take Hop and State plus twelve, take Lemoyne minus six
and a half.
Speaker 4: Like that.
Speaker 3: Stuff just coming NonStop, NonStop. So I already have my
moves already set up. I don't like Lamoine, I don't
like uh, what's it called, Creighton, So I'm not piggyback
like obviously, I provide the account, so I want them
to win. I have a percentage of that, but I
don't have an opinion on it with conviction to where
I'm now going to bet more on it or send
it to my subscribers. Instead, I'll add it to the
steam sheet so they have the information in front of them,
and if they have an all strong lean on Creighton,
they get the fire away, knowing the Sharps agree with them.
Speaker 1: I love the steam sheet and one of the.
Speaker 4: Goal you bet your own stuff, it's gold.
Speaker 1: I literally think I'm gonna start having some other guys
do it. I think I'm gonna steal your idea. And
they can call it. They should.
Speaker 2: They should.
Speaker 1: Here's the real reality. I just got twenty let's call
it fifteen to twenty games sent to me. Right Let's
say I was selling picks on wager talk and I
only bet three of these and I go zero to three,
but the overall of the day goes ten and five.
My people are gonna go, well, I didn't get that.
I didn't get that winner, I didn't get this total.
And I think it is really important to say, hey, listen,
here are my strongest plays for today. But also here's
the rest of the information. As you mentioned, a lot
of guys, even in the comment section right now, are saying, hey,
I love this kind of stuff. I love being privy
to this information because it either codifies what they already
had or it keeps them off of a game. And
we know that long term, staying off several games that
ultimately end up being losers can make or break your season.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: And like I said, like I'm putting in there when
NBA player props, there's some nights there's ten fifteen player
props in there, like you can if you're doing player prompts,
you'll find some goal, you know. And obviously I have
a percentage because of the account, So I'm getting down.
I don't mind sharing that information. I don't need to
put it as supremium play so I could teut that
my record's great or whatever. As long as my guys
are making money, I'm happy. Like that's why I'm doing this,
to make money, And as long as they're making money
is also that's for me. That's that's a blessing. So yeah,
all the as the best info I have access to
is on that sheet every single day, and that's why
I haven't bumped it all Like it says slashed nineteen
to twenty nine. This is nineteen bro for twenty bucks.
That's what I told you every day, because that's for guys. Again,
it's not a pick, it's information. It's data for them
to decipher and use.
Speaker 1: All Right, A couple of questions here in the chat
before we get.
Speaker 3: To the ila plus sixteen and a half just came
in game six thirteen.
Speaker 1: That's interesting because this that's one of the ones I
wondered if it got dummied.
Speaker 4: Up Michigan earlier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you gave me one and I gave it
out earlier on this sheet Saint John's, and I was like, damn,
I like Providence. I myself had Providence based on power
ratings and everything. And then right before I jumped on
right now for the segment, they came in on Providence
a different group at plus eight and a half. So
I went in the steamsheet real quickly. So now they know,
sure there's earlier was in there Saint John's minus seven,
but now different group taking the plus eight and a
half on this Providence side, and sometimes it's the same group.
That's when I know that it's dummy it all. And
I'll put that in the steamsheets, so they know same
group now on the other side. So then you know
that earlier money was just manipulation.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I have a question, then let's just say
so I did play I always play arts full list, right,
I just do I think the worst week it was
was like twelve and nine right, it hasn't had a
losing week, knock on wood. So for me, I don't
want to cherry pick right. But here's my question. Do
I now come back after I bet one side right?
You mentioned I'm on Saint John, I'm on Michigan. Do
I now come back with that information and bet the
other side? And if I do, how much do I
bet right? So like if I have two units? If
I have two units on Saint John's and Michigan, but
now providence in the UCLA just got bet, do I
put two units on those as well?
Speaker 3: Love the question because I was in that position for
a long time of my career where I didn't have
the confidence in my own opinion and I didn't have
the conviction because I was.
Speaker 4: Doing it on field.
Speaker 3: Like most people bet, I didn't have real actual data
to make me confident.
Speaker 4: Like now I have the power ratings, I.
Speaker 3: Trust in those, I believe in those, so I feel
like I'm coming already armed with something and that helps
me narrow down. Plus all the years of experience doing
nothing but this, But there was a time that wasn't
the case where I was just piggybacking everything like you said,
because I was like, I don't have the fuck the
knowledge to decide what's right what's wrong. Let's you know,
let's just keep it real. So I would piggyback everything
in that case, kel unless again, and you your seasoned,
You've done this long enough, You're where I am now,
So like you have an opinion. If you have an opinion,
then follow that opinion. Don't buy back if you already
liked the side of your own. If you didn't like
the side of your own, like me with Saint John's,
then obviously do it with the other side coming in.
But if you're saying my opinion is not going to
matter at all, I'm just going to piggyback all art stuff,
then bet it offered the same amount is my recommendation.
And that means when they buy back that even if
you're buying back at the same line, pay juice to
get off the bet rather pay juice. I even tell
subscribers that I know it's going to piss some of
you'se off, and even worse, it's going to piss the
girls off in customer service because a couple of you
are going to send in an email asking, oh, he
gave Team A first, now he's giving Team B.
Speaker 4: Why why why?
Speaker 3: When I explain to you, we are buying this back
because the information has changed, and I don't want to gamble.
That's my recommendation, Like, don't gamble, pay the juice, and
now you're off the game completely regardless of outcome.
Speaker 4: You don't care.
Speaker 3: That's the price of piggybacking. Sometimes you're gonna.
Speaker 4: Have to get off and just pay the juice without
even the middle opportunity.
Speaker 2: Okay, very very noted.
Speaker 3: I think you have some minus one oh five lines,
so you could get off the game for cheap.
Speaker 1: You can. And but here's kind of the thing, and
there's probably some etiquette there as well, but we won't
get into that here. Yeah, I did. I did ask
Art for his best bet chat, so I will get
that as soon as he replies me. I think Adam's
logged in, not sure if he's ready to go. I
see Rob Vino waiting in the chat, so I'm gonna
ask v are one more question before we.
Speaker 2: Get to those two guys.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Nick wants to know what are the heavy public bets
to fade to Day? These were really good? Uh, during
college football season for us, when you were looking at
some of those back ends and you're like, it's all X,
It's all.
Speaker 2: Why these three four teams?
Speaker 1: So Nick Winson know what are the heavy public bets
for today? Not necessarily a fade, Nick, but what are
they on?
Speaker 3: This is what's sticking out one side and real quickly
seven fourteen you see Davis seven fourteen, you see Davis
minus four and a half just came up here. The
most one sided I'm talking ticket count and money bet
with very little resistance, like no sharp money on it
as well. Kansas Kansas plus six six and a half
Kansas money line. When they start stinking Kansas doesn't even
need the six six and a half, they could bet
them on the money line, red flags pop up. They
love Kansas today, and the other dog they're in love
with is Clemson. Clemson and Kansas are the two biggest
dogs that I'm seeing probably almost I won't say half
the money, but at least thirty percent is on money
line as well.
Speaker 4: Like and usually that's not the case.
Speaker 3: When I look in the back end, it's always money
line heavy on the favorites because it's parlays that start
to pile up on the favorite and the back end
reflects that, it shows it it's mostly all parlays.
Speaker 4: And then also.
Speaker 3: Michigan, Michigan's a public side, and we just saw what
the sharps came in opposite that. Right now, with the
UCLA at sixteen and a half, I think that's it.
And then a total that sticks out a lot is
the over in Duke Clemson over Duke Clemson. There's I
don't see a single under bet. Every every dollar this
dude's booked is on the over. And also on the
UCLA Michigan over, every dollar book is on the over.
Now those are early games, I think, so that's usually
the case where you know it doesn't have time for
more action to come in because again that even with
one sided stuff, you're gonna get some action on the
other side. But when it's like the early early tips,
sometimes there's not enough time to get at risk on
the other side.
Speaker 1: Now, on the general public's is just gonna bet hour
by hour, right, they're exactly exactly you're not betting in
dam games right now. Right, They're not trying to get
ahead of anything. They're they're just trying to cash them
tickets to build up throughout the day so they can
bet for nighttime.
Speaker 4: Very very good at minus four and a half.
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, minus four and a half. Oh my gosh,
welcome to your preview of the steam room.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 4: This is what's going took like exactly what its exactly.

here to ear because he's at Cameron Indoor. Rob Vino
has been patiently waiting for Adam Trigger to get his
act together, so I appreciate Rob. Let's see how much
background noise Triggs got.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'll mute myself, but I'm not talking.
Speaker 6: But kel how cool is technology in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 7: I mean, but let let's get this look real quick.
Herek toms Clemson Clemson's coming out. Gianni said, what did
he say to the over or.
Speaker 1: The overs getting hammered by the public?
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll see how long we can go with this.
But I don't know.
Speaker 6: Years ago you wouldn't even be able to try to
do this, So we'll give it a go.
Speaker 2: There we are.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you're now muted because I'm gonna kill you
for your background noise. Adam Trigger told me last minute, Hey,
can't do the show tomorrow. I got tickets to Cameron
Indoor and I'm like, bye, see you later. Me and
Rob Vino got this. So if you guys have a
question for Trigg, drop it in the chat. That means
any mid major that Rob Vino and I don't want
to talk about. Vino and I want to talk about
the big Marquee games. So Vino, let's just start off
with the one that Triggs out. Everybody's asking Duke Clemson.
Here Art de Caesar gave us U. I said that
the short group was on them today and I was
really really surprised see that money coming in on Duke.
And then VR basically said, hey, yeah, Clemson is a
underdog that has been beat over and over and over
again by the public as well as the over break
down this big Marquee matchup that is starting about thirty
five minutes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Clemson action is understandable, Kel because it was
probably a look ahead midweek they lose to Virginia Tech,
people probably expecting them to bounce back. Here the Duke side,
it was kind of a methodical win seventy to fifty four.
The other day against Pittsburgh, they didn't break loose until late.
The one thing I find intriguing about this game, and
I don't know if either Guy VR or Art the
Caesar commented on I.
Speaker 5: Think you just did. You said the money was on
the over.
Speaker 8: It's interesting that Duke has played five consecutive unders, last
five games have all gone under. Their team total has
gone under in all five of those games, and Clemson
their last five games four and one to the under,
So that's basically a nine to one combined ninety percent under.
With these two teams. Kind of it says to me
that Duke's been overpriced in the totals market.
Speaker 5: Totals are running too high for them.
Speaker 8: They're not necessarily a tempo team that scores big every game.
They do play a lot of defense Clemson, these are
the number one and two defenses inside the ACC, so
makes a little bit of sense there. Obviously, the sense
of urgency that comes with this game for the Clemson side.
I think they were tied with Duke before they lost
as far as first place is concerned in the acc standing.
So you know, public wise, I can understand them jumping
on Clemson here with this amount of points. I didn't,
but I would, you know, I didn't take the take
the bait, but the slight lean would have been towards
the under here. However, as we know, odds makers aren't
done one thirty three and a half. It's almost makeable
by mistake in modern day college basketball.
Speaker 5: So I have to take a break on side in
total here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of get it.
Speaker 1: I am on Duke. I did lay the twelve and
a half again. Are all of those players are already
in the chat? I will drop them again here before
we end the show. Let's get Trig a deep dive
game here with actual rotation numbers. Please, guys could really
use your help on some of these today. We're gonna
get right into it. Furman of course asking us about
Furman VM, I and I do not have that rotation number.
Speaker 2: Yes I do. Six twenty five.
Speaker 1: Six twenty six goes at one pm Eastern there. Trig
thirteen and a half is when it opened, now fourteen
for Furman one forty five and a half. Let's see
how your audio is going to play out here, so
you can break down this one for us.
Speaker 6: Ok I'm unmuted now, Okay, real quick. Furman not as
good as I expected them to be this year. They
were supposed to be at the top of the SoCon
they kind of you know they they they just haven't
been the Bob Richie Furman teams that you would expect
to be really good in that league. But no one
has been great in that league. So I would have
to fade the favorite. I would have to take VMI,
as tough as that is. At home, they get a
decent crowd, their fans show up. They're typically undervalued. Furman
turns the ball over. Not something I considered playing today,
but VMI plus the points seems like the right way
to play that one.
Speaker 2: I just don't trust Furman as a huge favorite these days.
All Right, you know, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna just do rapid fire like we've been because then
we can get to all these questions. Here is a
team that I was kicking myself the other night for
not betting right. I told VR. He did his power
ratings on wager Talk today and then he I heard him,
I heard Bam, I heard Florida, and then I stayed
off both teams, Like, Kelly, what are you doing if
you're not using the best of the free information at
your own damn company. But now I'm a little hesitant.
Now Florida was on Art's long list, but now it's
like what Rom' saying, they've been smoked. Loo teams just
absolutely throttling teams. And I never like to start betting
on teams when it's too late. Is it too late
to start backing the Florida Gators or is this a
point in time where they're just still not being power
rated high enough.
Speaker 8: I guess you could counter that, Kelly by saying, is
it okay to bet Kentucky in this price range against
this team? Because Kentucky, for what it's worth, they've won
a couple in a row. But Mark Pope has complained
about this team all season long, multiple times, about being
somewhat a group that plays for the name rather than
the team name. He had said early on, We're gonna
weed this out, We're gonna straighten this out. It never
really got straightened out until recently three wins against Arkansas,
which was impressive going into Arkansas and winning. I didn't
expect that Oklahoma and now Tennessee, both at home on
the road hasn't been all.
Speaker 5: That great for them. Lose to All Yama by fifteen.
Speaker 8: So Kentucky is definitely susceptible to losing big against the
elite of this particular league. Florida is just tough to
go against right now nine to one ats, but of
course the number is the great equalizer, right fourteen point
win ken Florida cover that number, I would expect Florida
to be able to. Honestly, I just don't think Kentucky
a talented bunch, but they lose touch defensively sometimes. And
Florida with the backcourt, I think Adam and I talked
about this last week, where we knew the front court
was great, the backcourt has come around, and when as
long as they play halfway decent, they're very difficult. So
I don't know that I would like Kentucky in this
situation because I think it's a little bit fraudulent. They're
eight and three, second place record inside the SEC. I
think there's a lot of teams that are more suited
for second place than Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Is.
Speaker 5: I think I would look Florida here despite the high price.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're not quite tapped out there on
the Florida Gators.
Speaker 2: Get lots of totals questions here. Oh, here's a good
one for Trigg.
Speaker 1: Three oh six six six Chicago State versus Lemoyne. Please
if you were listening earlier, VR Senate came across his desk,
but he did not like Lemoyne, and I was like, interesting,
I know that this is Trigg's like basically play on team.
He's been talking about them. I don't even know where
they're located. Trigg, I'm mute.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't mute myself. Come on now.
Speaker 6: Kelly Lamoyn is in Syracuse, New York. Lamoyn is twenty
five minutes from my house. Jakai Sanders is still out.
He got a three game suspension for the UH altercation
in the handshake line with Saint Francis, but on Thursday
I didn't really think they missed him that much. Now,
I played against Lamoyne on Thursday and covered with mersey Hurst.
Speaker 2: UH.
Speaker 6: Mersey Hurst's the solid team though Chicago State. Somehow they've
won for five they're one of the worst teams in
this league. They benefited from the Saint Francis suspensions earlier
this week and got to win in a game that
they probably wouldn't have won had Saint Francis had their players.
So they have to come all the way to Syracuse.
The Northeast Conference is in the Northeast, except Chicago State's
new to the league. They have tough road trips. This
is a tough trip for them. For whatever reason, Chicago
State took early. Buddy, I would play back against that.
Lemoyne if it's six and a half or better, is
a good bet here. Even without Sanders, Shiloh Jackson is back.
He's the majority of their offense, so I would lay
it with Lemoyne.
Speaker 4: Oh my, uh.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend was just walking in the kitchen and said,
if it doesn't work out for Trigg to be a handicapper,
he can be a meteorologist in his next lives, because
it sounds like he's in a hurricane.
Speaker 2: I'm going back to meeting Trig.
Speaker 1: I just turned his camera off instead, I'm muting him,
rob Bino, let's get into some one of these games.
I know you're asking Trig about this game, but I
want to ask Robina about this game because I was
on TCU versus Iowa State, and today in the parlay,
I'm gonna be on Iowa State. That's a little sneak
preview for you guys. We'll go get into a breakdown
here in a little bit. Darren Peterson, B damned, don't care,
but I want to talk about TCU off that big
underdog outright when they're at home now playing a pretty
abysmal Oklahoma State team. Do you think this is a
letdown spot where we should be looking at the dog.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of you know, I asked myself the
same question, Kelly, because Jamie Dixon, the head coach of TCU,
made an absolute big deal about that game against Iowa
State the other the other night when they pulled off
the sixty two to fifty five win. He had said
prior to the game that it was basically a must
win for them as far as NCAA tournament status is concerned.
They did pull out that victory. That same case could
be made for Oklahoma State, who lost to the Arizona
Schools their last two games, both on the road. But
Oklahoma State, believe it or not, heading into that two
game series was actually considered a bubble team and now
they're sliding off. So the sense of urgency applies to
Oklahoma State here as well. They played once earlier this year.
OSU held a nine point lead with ten minutes left
in the game, found a way to blow it to
TCU sixty eight sixty five, and just by that final
score shows you that in Fort Worth, TCU got the
game played the way they want it, not the way
Oklahoma State wants it. Here in Gallaghariva, maybe Oklahoma State
gets a little more paced to the game. They're finally
back home. Like I say, the sense of urgency for
them exists in this game. It kind of still does
for TCU, but it's a road game, Big twelve road
is tough. I would kind of lean more towards this
game getting over the total because I think Oklahoma State's
going to control tempo here. They're obviously a fast pace,
high scoring team, and try and play it a little
differently than the first time when they were unsuccessful.
Speaker 1: All Right, I did get arts play of the day
and it was funny because I said, art they love
you in the comments section, he goes, well, hell, they
better love me. Best Betting Show ever, my record is
fifty three and thirty three? Man, does it pay to
watch wager Talk TV? Central Connecticut State minus one and
a half? Rob, that's in your backyard at least somewhere
over there in that little square state. Do you agree
with art on Central Connecticut State minus one and a half.
Speaker 8: You know, me and Adam referred to them as hard
hitting New Britain because they're from New Britain, Connecticut. Couple
of friends and family members who attended CCSU. You know,
the other night we talked about it because they had
an in state game Central Connecticut. The team is an enigma.
I didn't play. I'll just start by saying that team's
kind of an enigma because they should have been a
lot better than they are this year, and there are
some games where they look totally either disinterested or not
executing what the game plan is. So it's hard for me.
It's one of those teams, Kelly and I know we
all have them where no matter what you do, you're
pretty much wrong. Play on them, you're wrong, Play against them,
you're wrong. Play them over because they're a pretty potent offense,
you're wrong. So for CCSU, I sit back and route
don't have an opinion on the game, but Glad arn't
likes that side because that you know, it's good for
me root for CCSU any day.
Speaker 1: All right, Look, I found Treug's burner account. Tregg got
to be the hardest burking guy wager talk coloring games
all over the country, even doing a live from Cameron
or even though Kelly was gonna veto it, I said, no,
we don't need you. Me and Rob Veno got this.
But here he is, so we're gonna let him have
his moment. What a great atmosphere for that game. I'm
very jealous mostly all right, seven oh seven, seven oh eight, Trigg,
this question is for you. I'm gonna unmute you on
my end. Bowling Green Toledo, do you have a lead
on the side are total?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: This is a rivalry game. I believe the Battle of
I seventy five. These two teams, Bryan Power and I
did these two schools in the same weekends. They're like
twenty maybe like like forty five minutes apart, mac rivals.
I think Toledo won the first meeting seventy eight seventy seven,
scored late one by one. I had circled Bowling Green
to to sort of play it in the return meeting.
But Bowling Green has fallen off a little bit. I
was very high on them coming into the season. They
just have out played as good in MAC play. That
being said, you know, Toledo you can if you can
zone them and keep them out on the perimeter, you
can beat them. Bowling Green is very good defensively, or
should be good defensively, but they haven't been as good lately,
and they play a lot of man. So it's I
like the aggression that Bowling Green brings on the defensive end.
I think Fowling Green's ultimately better than Toledo, but how
that's played out recently likely won't get to the window.
Speaker 2: I lean ever so slightly Bowling Green in a revenge spot.
Speaker 1: Oh good, and or already is asking the question that
I had rob Vino, Texas am Vanderbilt.
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt looking at them minus six and a half currently
six nineteen six twenty is the rotation number. I want
to like this Vanderbilt team. I'm just not sure they
can win this game by margin. Breakdown and Vanderbilt, let
me know what you like. Maybe you can talk me
into either staying off this game or batting the commodoors.
Speaker 8: You know, I think I'd agree with you, Kelly taking
the points here Texas A and M side two teams
that are kind of mirror images. Obviously, Bucky McMillan, we
talk about about him relentlessly coming over from Sanford and
bringing that style to A and M. Quite difficult what
Buzz Williams had going. But they're gonna score their share,
and Vanderbilt's going to score their share. In Duke Miles,
I think still is out for Vanderbilt and Adam and
I commented the other day that Vandy is just shorthanded
personnel wise, and what they did this week in victory
was kind of a surprise to me because it looked
like here in mid February, the fatigue was started to
set into a short handed punch, but it didn't happen.
They went to Auburn and won pretty handily. But you
have to come back home and do it again against
a team that's gonna be just as rapid, probably more
rapid firepace than Auburn was, and a team that can
fill it up.
Speaker 5: So to me, in a high scoring.
Speaker 8: Game, I think A and M's every bit as good
as Vanderbilt at this point in time. Question is, does
the Nashville Venue Memorial Coliseum, you know, hold that much weight?
Certainly it's a unique gym. You can't talk to your
team from one end to the floor. But I think
A and M plus points here they've shown enough on
the road this year to be able to trust them
in the cover six and a half.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna let Treg give his play of
the day right now.
Speaker 2: Treg, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Unmute your play before and we're gonna lose you here, really,
really shortly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll stay on his log.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna fill up real quick in
the next twenty minutes. That's probably gonna get very loud.
So I'll give out one of my TI up players.
I got two locked in. There's two or three others
that I've got.
Speaker 2: My eye on.
Speaker 6: All later. This one is earlier three pm Eastern. I
got a laugh because rob Ino did I don't think
knew this. He jokingly was like, well, if you need
someone to talk Maine, I'm not really your guy. That
is my play today. I am on Maine the Black
Bears plus the points.
Speaker 2: I think it's two.
Speaker 6: I actually gave this out plus one and a half
and I said, if you can get a two, or
you can get a two, it may even be two
and a half right now.
Speaker 2: I want to be surprised if the other side takes money.
Speaker 6: NJIT is having a tremendous season, the best season they've
ever had in the history of the school. But it's
also the America East is historically bad, even for MOTT.
It's a really bad league this year, and I think
NJIT is just benefited from everyone else just not being
very good. Now they won They won this matchup by
four earlier in the year at home.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a great matchup for them.
Speaker 6: Maine is up in Or, no toughest trip to me
in the whole league, way up north in Maine. It's
not like Portland. You got to go further north up
in the Bangor area. It's a very tough road trip.
Even when Maine is not great. They don't have the
best team this year, but teams struggle to go there.
What they do is defend, and what I think they
can do is take the take the perimeter away from NJ.
Speaker 2: I t force them to go in the paint.
Speaker 6: Maybe they out rebound Maine, maybe they get in the
paint and do some damage. But you know what, Maine's
got some guys that can put in score. Maine has
some guys that can defend an Ultimately, I like this
matchup for the Black Bears. They should have won the
first meeting, they were right there. Now they've got them
at home, Maine's been playing better. They will have the
best player on the floor of TJ.
Speaker 2: Beal.
Speaker 6: He's one of the only guys in this league this year,
Kelly that probably doesn't belong in this league.
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna end up at a bigger school. So TJ.
Speaker 6: Beal has a big game, Maine ends up winning. Take
him as a small dog.
Speaker 1: Four all right, four there for a Trig really quickly.
Let everybody know. I would let Trigg do his own promotion,
but for obvious reasons, I'm going to have you do it.
Let every know what you guys have going on over
full court press. You guys are now six days a week,
which is pretty impressive. That is a lot of college
basketball prep. And there's never a game that I ask
you guys about that you don't have either one or
both of you have an opinion on so I think
what you're doing is absolutely incredible. We're loving it over
here at Wager Talk, getting three or four thousand people
watching your show every single weekend. We've got fifteen hundred
right now on this Saturday morning show. Since good old
Elon took away my ability to go live on X.
It's a little painful, but that's okay. So let every
know what they can expect over on Full Court Press.
I know you guys have a package up for both
of you as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, first off, the show itself, Kelly, Full Court Press
ten am to eleven am Eastern Time, Monday through Friday,
seven am Specific time till eight am Pacific time. We
do one or two featured games a day, mostly one,
and then open it up to the chat for guys
to come in with their own questions on games and
will answer whatever game you want to talk about, give
you our handicapping thought process throughout, and if we have
a strong opinion, we'll let you know. If we pass
the game, we'll let you know. But it's sixty minutes
of college basketball talk.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: We're trying to give you little things that you might
not have thought of yourself. Before you came in. That's
always the goal. Well complimented on the show so far, Kelly,
a lot of donations. Adam's goal right now is to
impress you with the amount of donations that we get
to that show. You come with a donation, you move
to the front of the line. But College Basketball Full
Court Press Monday through Friday ten am to eleven am,
and inside of our selection packages.
Speaker 5: You can get both of us.
Speaker 8: We've been running this package for a while now. Wager
Talk has double the CBB Firepower. It includes all of
Adams plays, all of my plays over a three day period.
Speaker 5: The package, I.
Speaker 8: Always say, works out well because Adam plays a lot
of sides. I play a lot of total so you
get a pretty good mix in there.
Speaker 5: We've both been on real good runs.
Speaker 8: I myself, I think I'm up like fifty eight units
since December the first, so it's been an extended two
month run where we've been good in college you But
if you're interested in today, of course monster card three days,
fifty nine dollars, you get all Adams plays, all my plays.
You can find it over at wajytalk dot com. It's
called double the Firepower. Adam all myself three day package awesome.
Speaker 1: And then are you guys also selling over on the
Sports Memo marketplace where we have one play a day
seven bucks.
Speaker 8: You know, I put myself in to do so, Kelly,
But I mean there's others that work in the main
office that know how technologically not intuitive I am, and
I haven't placed one yet.
Speaker 5: I have to take a little time here to get
one of those.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call after this. I'm gonna get him to
put a pickup on Sports Memo just for you guys,
because right now it'll be free today you Adam, you
could pick Veno. Sports Memo seven is gonna get it
if you're watching it's good till midnight. I'm gonna have
both of them. Make sure to have a playover on
Sports Memo the new marketplace over there for you guys,
Sports Memo seven until Saturday tonight at midnight. All right, Veno,
it's about that time. I'm gonna have you give out
your parlay play and then I'll give out mine, and
then we'll hit on a couple more of these questions
here before Trigg tips off their Cameron indoor.
Speaker 8: All right, so we always have the chat to give
us rotation numbers, so I'll do the same for the
check game seven. Cal Styana Barbara, CalPoly Slow. I'm gonna
play this one over one sixty and a half. To
those who watch full court Press, probably no surprise that
I'm involved with one of these Big West teams in
and overplay. These two teams met once. That final was
one oh seven to sixty seven, game hit one hundred
and seventy four points. UCSB was on the good end
of that. They did have Miro Little, their point guard,
available in the game. He's been off and on as far.
It's kind of like Darren Peterson for KU right. Sometimes
they play, sometimes they don't. This will be his fourth
consecutive miss, but it hasn't really affected UCSB whatsoever. There's
still the number one rated offensive team inside this conference
and Aiden Mahoney some will remember him from being on
Saint Mary's last year. Aiden Mahaney has kind of taken
over the show. He and freshman CJ. Shaw have been outstanding.
So you have the number one offense against a miserable
cal Poly defense. You turn the tables and cal Poly,
of course, high scoring, high tempo team, second fastest team
inside the league against cal barbaras Calcanda Barbara's third worst
defensive efficiency team. So good offenses, bad defenses. I don't
think the mirror little absence matters any And I will
say this, UC Irvine is the best defense inside this league,
and cal Poly just puts seventy nine on them, So
you probably this game hit in the high one sixty range,
maybe one sixty seven plus. They're only asking us for
one sixty and a half. I think it's pit down
a little bit because of Little's injury status, but that's
the game. I'm gonna play cal seven forty one, seven
forty two over one sixty and a half.
Speaker 5: That's Kelcey and a Barber at cal Poly Slow.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Trigg for the last game, but
it looks like he went a little dark on us
there at Cameron Indoor. Uh So I'm just gonna go
right back to you, Rob right here. Cad wants to
jump in Missouri State team total over and caid I
need a rotation number because I do not know who
Missouri State is playing today, nor do I know about
six fifty nine, six sixty. Missouri State is a six
excuse me, seven and a half point favorite there at home.
One thirty five, one thirty four and a half pretty
much is a consensus here on the total.
Speaker 8: So I would not argue cave whatsoever off with this
plan and argue off of the side in this game
either Delaware. It is their second game of a two
game road trip. I think we talked last week about
these Conference USA road trips. This conference is absolutely nuts,
the geographical setup of this league. They just played the
other night AGAINSTYU and Miami, a game that hurt me
deeply because I had FIU Delaware over. Delaware has a
sixteen point lead with about five minutes left. I wrote
it off sixty two to forty six. It's not gonna
happen for me. Sure enough, FIU comes all the way
back and hits a three with five seconds left to
tie the game at sixty six.
Speaker 5: I'm taking all right, we're gonna get over time.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna look out of this one, except for the
fact that Delaware went down the court, missed the shot
and tipped it in with about one tenth of a
second left to ruin my over. But I didn't deserve
it anyway. Point being here, Delaware now has to go
to Missouri State with again the worst defense in Conference USA,
Missouri State under Quonzo Martin surprisingly playing at the second
fastest tempo. I mean as closely as I follow Missouri
since my son went there years ago. Kwanto Martin was
the head coach, then Quantum Martin was the head coach
of Purdue. Nobody remembers him as a guy who wants
to race the basketball up and down the floor, but
Missouri State does. They've been really good inside league, and
they just catch Delaware in a tough spot. So to me,
you could probably lay seven and a half to me,
you'd probably get over that seventy and a half.
Speaker 5: So I agree with Kate.
Speaker 1: Welcome to our new wager talk insiders there in the chat.
Let's get one more here for Treg if he can
hear us, and maybe too loud.
Speaker 2: There and Cameron and R. Treg give me.
Speaker 1: Your synopsis on eats Tennessee State sitting on Stanford.
Speaker 2: I can confirm the art.
Speaker 1: Caesar said, A sharp group played it early. I didn't fail.
Hopefully you don't like the other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys be okay, can you hear me? Just
give us your quick synopsis? Am I there?
Speaker 5: You're here all right?
Speaker 2: I'm boot If you can hear me, that's East Study.
Speaker 1: That we're boot and Trig he's booted. I love Trigg.
That's okay, East Tennessee State. I can confirm was played
by a sharp group. That's gonna be our synopsis on
that one, because I want to talk about a couple
of these big games here with Rob Vino before I
get my best bet for today, which I already told
you guys was Iowa State, so you really care about
my whole entire breakdown, But I do want to talk
about game seven point thirty one Texas Tech. We know
I love my Big twelve basketball. Let me get that
new lineup. They are a nine and a half point underdog.
Has it moved versus Arizona? Here I can confirm that
the under was played. No excuse me, let me double
check that list. The under one fifty seven was played
and pretty much one fifty five and a half across
the Odds logic screen.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So in this game, Kelly, a lot of handycappers will
go by the theory, and Adam actually referred to you
as being one of the proactive betters in this particular instance.
Don't let the same game beat you twice for Arizona.
You lose the other night at Kansas without Darren Peterson,
you had a big lead. Get beat Now, come home
and play Texas Tech. If it's a letdown spot at all,
they'll get beat by Texas Tech. Let's face it, Arizona
certainly has a lot of assets this season, but one
of their best assets is they're rebounding on both ends
of the floor. And I've said this before, but Texas
Tech has played Houston twice now, and they played Houston
pretty good twice, and Houston is absolutely known for rebounding first,
and Texas Tech JT. Topping and company hung tough with them.
They can certainly hang tough with Arizona. I thought the
points were excessive here. Whether Arizona let down or not,
I just think it's a little bit. Let's go the
other way and say that Texas Tech is undervalued here,
and other than saying Arizona's overvalued, but I think Tech
is being a little bit undervalue in this particular instance.
They've got all the weaponry to be able to hang
close and if Arizona has any bit of a letdown,
they could get clipped out right here.
Speaker 5: So I like Texas Tech plus the points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas Tech is on my long list. We'll see
if they end up making my card for today, real quick, Robino,
I am on Iowa State, as I said, for my
leg of the parlay, So if you guys miss it,
Trag is on Maine and Rob is on cal Poly Slow.
What does slow stand for?
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
Speaker 1: San Luis obispo okay, thank you. You learned something new
every day. And he's on the over. What's the total there?
Speaker 4: It's one sixty and a half, one sixty.
Speaker 2: And a half.
Speaker 1: I'm on Iowa State. Hopefully you guys can find a
six and a half. It doesn't look like there's many
left here on the odds lodgery screen. Pretty much seven
all the way across the board, and that's probably right
where it needs to be. I know Ku has been
absolutely red hot, and I was on Kansas the other night.
I sat right there. I bet itt late, I said,
this is ridiculous. Darren Peterson hasn't played all season long.
Why do we care that he gets announced out late?
And guess what, it didn't matter. Arizona ends up losing
there in allen Field House, ks Now rattled off eight
straight wins, seven straight wins, eight straight wins. That being said,
huge win there. Now they're going to, in my opinion,
the toughest place to play. They're in aims at the
Hilton against well arguably the best defense in the Big Twelve.
I think the threes are going to start falling here
against this KU team. I know that they do play
a great three point defense here, but they tend to
turn the ball over on defense, and I think that
is going to be their achilles heel and ultimately costs
in this game if it comes down to free throws
in the end. For the love of God, Cyclones, please
make your free throws. That has been their frustrating note
all season long. That's pretty much my my quick synopsis
on this game, because I want to keep it going
and give you guys a little bit more. But I
am on Iowa State for my end of the parlay. Guys,
if you have a few we had a few more
minutes here, don't forget seven dollars. I already just messaged
somebody and said, hey, we got to help Ron Veno.
He's got to get a play up on Sports Moment
today for seven bucks. So that the last call audience
can get it for free. Uh okay, Jason wants to
know about this Purdue game. Purdue starts. Let's see seven
oh one. They're playing Iowa. They are currently a one
and a half point favorite. Seven oh one. Seven oh
two is the rotation number one forty two and a half.
They're in Vegas, one forty two at some of the
prominent offshores. Do you have an opinion here? This is
a Purdue team that I took the other night versus Nebraska,
and uh got in the shower they were up twenty two.
I was like, easy, easy, baby, Oh my god. I
got out and saw that I won in overtime, and
I thought, boy, what happened? And unfortunately, sometimes when you
don't watch those games, Rob, you don't know. But if
you watch Nebraska all this year, you've known that they've
been a really great second half team. And ultimately Purdue
took their foot off the gas.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I was gonna say, Kelly, that's been Nebraska's
mo o pretty much all season, big way back to
when they played Indiana, found themselves down sixteen in the
second half, when really nobody believed that they were really good,
came all the way back and won and eight demonstrated
that ability since then, so no surprise that they came
back in the end. Remass filed out. That kind of
helped Purdue, But it was a big win for Purdue
because I think a lot of us, myself included, we're
starting to sell Purdue a little bit short. A team
that a lot of folks thought could be the number
one team in the country this year. They've certainly got
the weaponry here. The only thing I really fear is
the venue. Not that Purdue is going to be intimidated
by any venue, but Carver Hawk Guy is a tough
place to go play. Ben McCollum, the new head coach
coming over from the Missouri Valley Conference, has got his
offense and his systems on both ends pretty much instilled.
Now I always been playing better. I still think Purdue
is The separation in talent between these two is enough
to overcome venue. So if I had to play, it
would be the produce side. You just have to hope
that too much wasn't taken.
Speaker 5: Out of them.
Speaker 8: As far as Gas in the Tank is concerned by
that overtime win against Nebraska, I think Purdue probably got
back up on their feet the other night and wins
again here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually something that kept me off of Michigan
State last night. Right, I did lean towards Wisconsin. It
seemed like it was like the trendy underdog, and I'm like, hey,
Sparty got the win for me the other night and overtime.
I'll take it, But I don't trust this team off
back to back overtime games. That takes a lot out
of teams. You know, we should be looking towards today's card.
But when you find situations like that, Rob, is that
just a stay away for you?
Speaker 2: Is it mean you're gonna bet the other side?
Speaker 1: Because you're right now that I think about it, that
game did gas Purdue. They had no reason that they
should have taken their foot off the gas. Nebraska just
pushed the pace of that game. They did what they
do in the second half. But you're right now, I'm going, Oh,
maybe I don't want to back Purdue here coming off
that or is it really not? Is it something I'm
just kind of overthinking here about the boiler Makers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they just get so situational, Kelly. The
spot that Purdue was in where the Big Ten hierarchy
was breaking away from them a little bit, right. You're
all about Michigan, you're all about Illinois, you're all about
these other teams and Purdue not being mentioned. And they
needed a big win because actually they were considered to
be among the hierarchy in that league. So maybe they
got their footing. Bet it becomes situational. I do want
to really quick apply something you said about the Iowa
State play today to the Wisconsin game last night. You
said that Iowa State threes probably will fall there, and
that's what happened last night with Wisconsin. No Sparti is
a great three point defense, but Wisconsin's a great three
point shooting team, and sometimes good offense just out does
good deefense. So despite the fact that Kansas plays pretty
good get guarding the york I, Alowa stayed has more
than enough capability to shoot and score on them from
three point range. It's exactly what happened with Wisconsin when
they beat Michigan State last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that final score. I didn't watch the game.
We ended up going to a comedy show and dinner,
and I was like, Holy col I guess I shouldn't
have overthought this one and just met the Badgers, but
again you mentioned it. I wasn't expecting them to just
be bombing threes like they did. We got about ninety
seconds left, so I'm gonna take one more question. Seven
twenty three LSU is taking on Tennessee seven twenty three,
seven twenty four, six pm Eastern tonight. Tennessee is a
twelve and a half oh excuse me, fourteen and a
half point favorite over on the Odds logic screen one
forty three and a half Rob Vino take us home
and then let you know what you've got going on
over at wager talk dot com before you break down
this game. For anybody looking to become a premium subscriber.
Speaker 8: Okay, really quick, here what's up in available right now?
Preferred play on the early card is up and available.
There's also an additional afternoon play that will try to
get the Sports Memo. I should be there, Kelly, because
I was an original member of Sports Memo way back
in the late nineties, so I have to get over there.
But you can get those two early afternoon plays night
plays I tack on during the day, so the card
will be pretty extensive here today for this game in particular,
Tennessee let me down the other night didn't reach their
team total of seventy seven and a half despite having
sixty three with about ten minutes left. It's impossible to
play LSU at this point in time. Kill you know
all too well the rank that Jerome Tang went on
about his team the other day. It's kind of the
way LSU is right now. Without dating Tom. You don't
see a lot of care with this team. So I
wouldn't love to lay fourteen and a half with Tennessee,
but I don't think you can take the other side
at this point.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that as well. Robino, you guys
can catch him here on the Wager Talking YouTube channel
every single Monday through Saturday. A little bit earlier during
the week ten am Eastern, seven am Pacific. They get
into that basketball card, meat and Potatoes early Monday through Friday,
and then we do eleven am Eastern here every single
Saturday along with Adam Trigger. He's having too much fun
at Cameron Indoor. We lost his WiFi. And yes, the
comment section is correct. I stay annoyed with Trigg. It's
part of the whole bit at this point in time.
Speaker 2: But thank you to.
Speaker 1: Rob for hanging out here answering a heavy load of
these college basketball questions are parlay for today. Trigg's on Maine,
I'm on Iowa State, and Rob is on cal Poly
