Speaker 1: All right, everyone, Welcome in. It is finally here. The
round of sixty four, Rob Vino starts today. These next
two days, I've said this since I was in about
sixth grade, the best two days on the sports calendar.
It's not even close. Games are going to start at noon,
they'll go past midnight. It is just the it's the
best time of year. So I got my Sienna shirt
on probably the last day I'm gonna get to wear this,
but I'll wear it proudly today Rob, because we're in
the NCAA tournament for the first time since twenty ten.
I'm all fired up, ready to go. I've only I
did finish my energy drink. I've also been up since
five am. I don't even need the caffee today, Rob,
I could have probably done without it. Welcome in. How
is your night last night? And we'll get this thing started.
Speaker 2: Yeah, last night was good. Two and one got the
I know we probably could have parlayed up here on
one game, because you love the Miami of Ohio side.
I had the total over even without BJ Edwards. I
felt SMU could still score. That was the case. That
game went over, and boy, the second game that I
had for clients that won last night was the New
Mexico Sam Houston State game, over which one hundred and
ninety points never in doubt was part of our parlay yesterday,
which we can put a few dollars signs next to
show parlay wins. I was wrong with the Kent State
team total though, Adam. The complete no show out of
a Kent State team that I generally regard as a
team that comes to play every night. That was a
little bit surprising, the fact that they were just never
in it. But two and one will take. Show parlay
winning will take, and we're onto today. Where As I
think this through now because we're so busy these last
few days, I have my first four percent play of
the year goes today in the NCAA tournaments that's up
been available right now and get into today's board, because
I know that's what people are thinking and real quick.
As somebody who's lived in Las Vegas for twelve years
and been part of that madhouse that is the first
and second day of the NCAA tournament, it is amazing
to me, Adam, not to take up too much time,
but it's amazing to me that back in the day,
you know I was there even before I moved. There
was there in nineteen eighty eight for the tournament that
I'm there, living there from ninety one to three or two.
You know, you could still get in the place was jammed,
but you could still get in. Nowadays you got to
buy your way into a sports took to see games.
It's just incredible the way this has grown. As you mentioned,
I don't think there's two days on the sports calendar
that compared to these. And I might even go full
weekend because Saturday Sunday are right there too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I for the first time in a long time, I've
got no plans this weekend. Mallory's going with her parents
to Florida for like the week starting tomorrow. It's going
to be me dog number one, dog number two, and
I'm not leaving. I'm not moving. I may go down
to Turning Stone for a little bit. Other than that,
I am. I refuse to move.
Speaker 3: One on one for me.
Speaker 1: Last night, I lost in the nit with George Washington,
who loses by one. Gotta stop betting Utah Valley because
all they do is just lose games that they're right
there with by one and couldn't even get a shot
off on the final possession, but we got it back
with Miami of Ohio.
Speaker 3: That was our parlay Legan.
Speaker 1: So yes, we come into today Rob one in one
split for me, but a nice parlay winner for us.
Speaker 3: Here on the show, very very quick. I don't have
much to report.
Speaker 1: I said I would come on and report nit news
and injury stuff. Basically every team that won last night
was at full strength. So again we're not gonna focus
on the teams that already got eliminated. But all of
the winners last night, with the exception the only one
I can find. Only notable guy that did not play
would be Luke Hunger Hunger from George Washington. But the
thing is Castro played, and he played thirty minutes and
he played great. So Hunger is really only like super
valuable in my opinion, Like he was huge for them
when Castro was out, but with Castro back, like I
don't even have you know, cal everyone played, They looked
really good. Saint Joe's everyone played, they went in and
won out right. Nevada did spread the minutes around, so
I guess that's the final thing I'll throw out here.
But they were up though, Rob, so you know, Steve
Alford maybe looking at this as more of a let's
see who I've got on my team, because they really
like spread the minutes around last night. But other than that,
I don't have much to report from the NIT, so
we'll just get right into it. I didn't plan a
feature game because they're all feature games. We got sixteen
tournament games. There's not one that's bigger than the other.
So let's start with Garth and he says, you know,
I really like Penn plus twenty five and a half today,
and I think this is kind of an interesting one
to start with rob because of course, you know, you
got the status of Ethan Roberts. I'm guessing he's not
gonna play, but he did go through practice. He's there,
He went through practice yesterday. I think fran McCaffrey said
that they would sort of reevaluate him and see if
he could give it a go. Honestly, you know, the
other one, TJ Power. My guess is he just he
probably is ill. He probably is sick, but I doubt
he's sick enough to not play. I think you know,
Wednesday for these guys, when you show up to the
NCAA tournament Wednesday. It's it's really like, you know, it's
kind of like I think you get like a forty
five minute practice on the court, but it's mostly like
media nonsense. So my guess is like Penn was probably
just like, yeah, you're good, Like, go rest up, we
need you tomorrow. I can't I can't see a scenario
where TJ. Power doesn't play here rob for Penn, and
I think if Ethan Roberts can give it a go,
I think he will. But his is a little bit
tricky because you've got to you know, they're not just
gonna clear you if you still have concussion symptoms. So
twenty five and a half, though, is getting up there
on the number. So are you with Garth, do you
think Penn can cover this or are you gonna look
total in this game?
Speaker 2: Probably too risky from the Penn's side. TJ Power, I
mean every shot he threw up in the championship game
of the IVY League went in forty four points in
that one. He was amazing. I think he had in
watching that, I think he had like twenty three in
the first half. He was just going crazy for Penn
in that one. Covering for the Ethan Roberts subtraction, the
Ethon Roberts situation. Like you say, it's crazy because I
just think back to last night and I know we
worked at a dwell. I'm losing teams in the NIT,
but Poe boy King gave it a shot for Sam
Houston last night and that shot made it about seven minutes.
And if you get one of these where I'm going
to try and go but I can't go, then I
planned on Roberts not being available in this game, Adams.
So that's just the way I handicapped it. I think
it's the way we had the handicap it this week.
No power would make it even worse, or or a
let's just say a subpar TJ power would make it worse.
I don't know that for a fact, but when you're
handicapping these things, you got to take all angles. Illinois,
I said this about conference tournaments, but to me, Illinois
is in full reset mode for this tournament. We did
that Sunday show together Adam with the Wager Talk with
our Wager Talk colleagues, and I pointed out multiple times
there was a point in this season, maybe even two
thirds of the way through, where I thought Illinois was
going to be the team that I'm that I would
talk about the way I'm talking about Arkansas right now.
I thought they would be that team outside the ones,
the one seeds that could be a potential I don't
know that Arkansas is a potential NCAAA champion, but Illinois
could give it a run. So deep, so talented, bigs
that can shoot from the outside, guards that you know,
a pair of point guards that are as good as
it gets in the NCAA basketball. I don't know if
Illinois plays their a game. I don't see any area
in this contest where Penn matches up zero. The one
thing I did think of was, well, maybe Fran will
slow this down, and he does have familiarity with Illinois
a little bit, but I don't know that his personnel
can overcome it. So I'd be scared. Garth. I understand
the points are substantial, and a lot of these teams
when they get to We've talked about this a little
bit too, Adam, when he gets to that five to
six minute mark left in the game and the games
in hand, we clear the bench. The issue for me
is that Illinois can go about nine deep and even
the bench. Maybe he can still score, so I'd almost
rather look at total. But I'm afraid of how many
Pen can score. So in a game that I thought
initially I was gonna have a pretty good a pretty
good handicap on, I just don't at this point in time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to just focus on the number here, because,
like listen, I do think if you're just straight up
like looking at like you know, what's a plus ev
number to bet at, right, I can see why you
would want Penn plus twenty five and a half. So
let's say Penn was let's say Pen was full strength.
Speaker 3: I made this. I made this.
Speaker 1: Illinois eighteen point nine, that is with Pen at full strength.
Speaker 3: So that would be my number.
Speaker 1: If if Penn had all of their players, I would
have I would make Illinois an eighteen point nine point favorite.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 1: Ethan Roberts is probably worth three to four points for
that team on the number, just with his his usage
and how much better they are with him available. I think,
you know, again, I have a hard time quantifying. I
never really know how to quantify a player properly in
college college basketball, right, Like again, like you talk about
a team like Pen, but then you put the matchup
in the context context of okay, can we hang Illinois?
Speaker 3: Can we hang with Illinois?
Speaker 1: Maybe eating Roberts is actually worth more than three points
or four points right there. But long story, sure, I
if he's out on mirror where this opened at twenty
one and a half, I think TJ.
Speaker 3: Power plays.
Speaker 1: I again, if you're if you're TJ Power and it's
and you're sick, like I mean, I'd have to be
borderline dead to not go out on that court and
give it a go, right, Like you know, it's not
like you have an injury like Roberts. Listen, eat the
Roberts may say I want to play. That's different. He's
got a concussion. If you're just having battling an illness,
I feel like you get out there and just leave
it all out on the floor. So like again, I
think twenty five and a half is probably there is
some value to that number because now you're talking about
if the books were on the same page as me
and said okay, no Roberts twenty one and a half,
why what is the four point move for here? Because
even when I even when I updated my number without
Roberts and gave Illinois the benefit of the doubt. I
was only at twenty two. That's what I have written
here is twenty two point two. So you're talking about
like twenty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Garth.
Speaker 1: From a straight number standpoint, I don't dislike that that.
I would not be trying to lay twenty five and
a half with Illinois. You missed your chance. If you
didn't bet Illinois so far, you missed your chance. It's
got to be pan or pass at that number in
my opinion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only and your biggest concern. Again, with a
lot of these teams, Adam, you and I talked off
their about Duke Sienna when we hashed that one out,
the fact that Duke could pull people with six minutes stleft.
You're already a bang up basketball team. Why would you
play everybody all the way through if you have a
big league Same goes for any of these twenty plus
point favorites. The thing we never try to quantify with
these players is we always look at what they bring
from a point scoring perspective. We never really talk about
the defensive end. I don't know a single guy on
pen that's probably capable. I mean, it's got to be
team defense. But if you just match these guys up
one on one, Illinois has advantages offensively over Illinois could
probably score at will in this game. I just looked up.
Penn played Villanova early this year. Ethan Roberts only played
eleven minutes in that game. Mata. Maybe he got hurt
in at Villanova game early on too.
Speaker 3: I don't that was that was the game. I believe.
I believe that's the game he got the concussion, yeah, and.
Speaker 2: So he was out early. They get beat by twenty
three by Villanova and gave up ninety to a team
that's not extremely athletic. Penn's defensive side would worry me
as much as the rebounding on the offensive end. But again,
we're betting numbers here, Like you say, twenty five and
a half is large, and you do have that late
game concern. You could be down thirty with six minutes
left and get under this number because Illinois just yanks
guys out in preparation for Saturday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's a very good
sort of point that you're gonna have to take into
all of these big like one verse sixteen type games,
Like you know, the sixteen seed doesn't go win like
they might you know, they're they're gonna hype themselves up
like and think they have a chance to win, but
like in reality, it's it's maybe maybe one of them
will win, but they will all get a chance to
play in an NCAA tournament, And like as sixteen seed
is typically gonna play there, even if they're down twenty two,
they're gonna be out there playing hard, like it's still
a thrill for them. So yeah, I think that that's
a good point in basically every game where you've got
like a one versus sixteen or a very heavily favored
two versus fifteen, just know that like those last five minutes,
like even if Penn was down thirty, those last five minutes,
like they're they're gonna continue to play and play hard
Sienna the same way let's say Sianna is down thirty
to Duke. I don't see any scenario where they're not
playing their hardest in that final six minutes. Where yeah,
some of these teams, especially the ones that have been
a little bit more banged up, are gonna have to
start looking towards Saturday.
Speaker 3: And it's why you're.
Speaker 1: Not gonna find me, you know, laying huge numbers with
one seeds in this round very often. I don't think
it's better than fifty to fifty against the spread. I'd
need someone to check that for me, but I would say,
you know, sixteens probably cover half.
Speaker 3: Of the time. I think it's fair to say that
that's probably the case.
Speaker 1: So yeah, good, good discussion there, And and yeah, if
you're gonna again, I'd be weary of laying twenty five
and a half with Illinois. I think you have to
go dog or pass. All right, quick promo. I've got
four plays locked in for clients already today. I'm sure
Rob's got a bunch locked in. I actually I love
my four plays.
Speaker 3: Rob.
Speaker 1: I'm scared at how much I love them. You know
I've been locking them in. I added a couple this morning.
A couple are from earlier in the week. I will
give one of them out on the show that'll That'll
likely be a parlay leg. But if you want the
full card, headed over to wager Talk and just grab
the joint package between Rob and I. You'll get all
of our plays for three straight days Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 3: That's some good bang for your buck right there.
Speaker 1: With how much I've already got a five percenter locked
in for tomorrow and two plays on tomorrow's slate, so.
Speaker 3: There's probably the best value of the year. Rob for
the double the Firepower.
Speaker 1: CBB, I don't think you could find a better three
day window to use it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And you know we've got four consecutive
days and we're gonna have n I T Saturday, Sunday
too at them, which I'm sure we'll hit your card
in some capacity. I know it'll hit mine after we've
seen these first run games go through. So yeah, guys,
and the other option to that is just extended out
through the National Championship Game because you're gonna have all
these tournaments available to you. So once again, double the
Firepower CBB. He's from Adam and myself. I'll just add
one last time, a lot of sides from Adam, mostly
sides ninety for myself ninety five percent on the totals angle,
so you get a good mixture of plays and guys,
let me just I don't want to I'm gonna take
thirty seconds here really quick. It was brought to our attention.
Adam and I really don't cross check each other. Adam,
who do you got Rob, who do you got? We
really don't CRUs. We've never discussed games, but we're not
going to cross check. We just put our plays in
and it was brought to our attention because I kind
of wandered out of the totals lane, and it decides
this week that we did butt heads. I think it
was three plays last week was mentioned to us Adam. Guys,
if you see that in the package, Adam has one
side of a game. I have another side of the game. Please, please,
please please, I can't emphasize that enough. Use your best judgment.
If you don't have a lot of faith in your
opinion on the game and you see us on both sides,
common sense would say, just don't play. Let her go.
If you see Adam has a stronger opinion percentage wise
than I do, and meaning he might like it more
and you want to go that way, go that way,
but I think to summit up quickly. Just please use
your best judgment. We don't crosscheck. We've been doing this
long enough to where neither one of us is going
to talk the other off of something that we already like. Well,
listen to counter sides. That's what's great about having a
colleague that's so knowledgeable as I can listen to Adam
and perhaps he can give me stuff I wasn't thinking of.
But we're rarely going to call up and say, oh,
you know, okay, you have that game. I'm not going
to play that game. It just doesn't happen. So please again,
if you see it inside the package, you may see
it opposite sides of a game because we like different teams.
Please please use your best judgment. It's not fair to
the office here at Wager Talk to call up and
complain and think that we're trying to pull some kind
of shenanigans on you. It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, like, I don't take offense to this,
he says. I'm rolling with Veno over Trigg all day.
Someone DM me over the weekend and said, hey, you
and you're Robinot.
Speaker 3: You are are opposite on this game.
Speaker 1: And I kind of, you know, I kind of just
like had a DM conversation with with the client real
quick on Twitter and he was like, oh, He's like, no,
I'm gonna gonna ride with you there. It's you know,
I think it was Arkansas over over Arkansas in the
SEC Final on Sunday or a Vandy and it was like,
He's like, I kind of like where your head is
at here, I'm gonna go with you. The point is
it's rare that it's gonna happen. If it does, you
can just throw the game out. There's plenty of other
games to bet, or just you know you're good. That's
the nice part about. You're getting the analysis so you
can read it and then say, Okay, I like this,
I dislike this, but yeah, it did come up a
couple a couple of times down the stretch. I don't
know why someone's saying Trigg is overdue. I'm on like
my third straight month of winning here, I'm like eleven
and two in my last thirteen picks, and I at
one point last week I hit nine in a row.
So I don't think I'm really over I had a bet, listen,
I had a bad November in December. We're like one
good weekend away from that being a very very distant memory.
Speaker 3: I think I'm up. I think I've made back eighty.
Speaker 1: I think I'm eighty four units since January first, so
it's been a really good run. And again, a couple
splits to start this week, but I hope, I hope
we continue to just just stay hot and I want
Rob to win as many as well. So double a
firepower CBB package. You're gonna get all our plays. Check
that out wager.
Speaker 3: Talk dot Com.
Speaker 1: Rob, I want to talk about this. This is the
wrong game. That is a that is a Friday game.
Hold on a second. I am in the chat and
I've picked the wrong I want to go to Noah
Jones super chat right here, Noah Jones. I missed Noah
a couple of times earlier in the week when he
when he asked for something, so I wanted to make
sure we got him in the mix with this game.
So we're gonna stay the two verse fifteen seed line. Here,
Noah says, love Tennessee State as a fifteen seed, but
I hate their matchup with Iowa State.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We kind of alluded to this earlier in the week
that some of these underdogs were put in very bad
matchups for the underdog, and I would say this is
one of those matchups right here. Tennessee State. Props to
Nolan Smith. I love what he's done in the first
year there. I think you and I Rob started talking
about this League back in January, thinking that Tennessee State
was the strongest team, and they proved to be the
strongest team in this league.
Speaker 3: But they're very athletic, they get up and down.
Speaker 1: I think Nolan Smith sort of is the anti analytics
guy when it comes to just like, you know, get
the athletes going. They'll take bad shots, but they make
a good amount of them, a lot in transition, a
lot going to the rim.
Speaker 3: Noah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: That's a terrible way to attackle attack Iowa State. And
this is one where I was, you know, it would
have been favorite or pass because Iowa State is the
type of team that I think will blow games open
against these lesser schools. And also rob they might have
a little bit of a chip on their shoulder given
how their regular season ended. They lose that thriller to Arizona.
So this is one scenario where I might lay the
big number. I haven't done it yet, but talk to Noah,
Tennessee State, Iowa State.
Speaker 2: I think you know, I just smiled when I saw
the the comment because I think it happens to all
of us, like especially you know, I'm not trying to
put us on a pedestal but I'm gonna say, especially
like you and I will refollow all the mid majors. Right,
A lot of people follow Power Conference in not mid majors.
But when you're following mid majors, you look forward to
being able to bet them first round of the tournament,
and then you see the matchup and you're like, you know, capitalist, hi,
t Dan, they get there, yeah, against that team, And
this is one of those cases. I think Noah put
it beautifully. One of the problems Tennessee State's gonna have
here is that they were able to feast on their
opposition getting turnovers, and Iowa States just so veteran in
that back court led by Lipsey, that they're not going
to turn it over against this team. And they face
such defensive pressure inside the Big twelve that they're more
than used to it, accustomed to it. So, like you're saying, Adam,
it's just a bad matchup. You wish Tennessee State could
have been placed against somebody else where. We could have
played them. And honestly, out of all you know, all
of the lower seeded teams, let's say, from twelve down
generally this past four days since attorney was announced, they
get a lot of publicity, a lot of media coverage,
A lot of guys come out of the woodwork nationally
and claim that team X has a chance to do
some damage. Tennessee State is one of those mid majors.
It hasn't drawn a lot of talk from anywhere, you know,
not the way that say like high Point has or
I'm sure there's other examples, maybe Hofstra has since the
Alabama suspension to Holloway or non suspension. I don't even
know if it's a suspension yet. But Northern Iowa against
Saint John's State as laid under the radar, and you
would love to get there with a team that's under
the radar. But again, matchup is difficult. It really is.
Iowa State very good basketball team, started to prove at
the end of the year what we thought from the
beginning of the season that they were Elite eight quality.
They definitely have the personnel to be that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's just if they're going to give
up all this all this transition. Oh yeah, I highlighted
the comedy. I like that Drigg coming apart at the seams.
He's so excited. Of course I am.
Speaker 3: We have it.
Speaker 1: Not only is it the NCAA Tournament. But Siena has
not played in the NCAA tournament since twenty ten. And
your boy was spoiled when he was a student because
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, and twenty
ten it was NCAA Tournament win over Vandy, NCAA tournament
went over Ohio State. The twenty ten team was the
best one of all and they just drew a very
good Purdue team. So yeah, I am absolutely just ready
to implode here. And I just cracked another diet coke.
I said I wasn't going to do it, and here
it was at the desk and now I'm drinking more cappy.
So yeah, I turned up just to get back to
this game. So someone in the chat said, yeah, this
is a Friday game, so that's okay. If you know,
if we get a super Chat request for it, we're
gonna do it. And we you know, we haven't talked
about this game at all this week, so I'm not
gonna spend a ton more time on it. They're gonna
give up transition to Iowa State, and Iowa State is
probably going to drop a hundred on Tennessee State in
this game. If that's the case. The points become a
little less valuable when you're laying points, Like you know.
I made the parallel earlier in the week when we
talked Duke Siena, where it was like, that's probably gonna
be a slower game less possessions, whereas like Tennessee State's
not going to play a slower game with less possessions.
They're just gonna I can't see them doing anything other
than playing their game and seeing if they can hang around.
So at twenty three on the open, I actually think
Iowa State's a pretty good bet there. Even if you
can get a twenty, like, there's still twenty four and
a half. I think I'd go as high as to
say twenty four and a half is a fine that.
I think this is Iowa by thirty maybe more. I
think this one's gonna get ugly.
Speaker 3: Clem.
Speaker 1: Of course that was my I already finished the peach
Mango bang. I've been up since five am. It's ten
twenty five here on the East coast. That's long gone,
but real quick promo. So the other thing I want
to promote our show, but also the fact that we
are live and on demand, so right now we're not
going to hit on Like, if you go back into
the time stamps of yesterday's show in the day before,
you'll find our full Arkansas Hawaii breakdown, and you will
find our full TCU Ohio State breakdown. So those two
games I'm not going to talk about on this show
because we already devoted an entire sort of segment to
them on the last two days. So TCU Ohio State,
I believe we did that one yesterday and then on
Tuesday Arkansas Hawaii. They already got the full sort of
treatment on this show. So I'm gonna go to the
chat Rob. This one is getting the most conversation in
the chat right now of everyone and Steve Duke. I'm
gonna bring Steve Duke in here. Shout out Steve Duke.
He's always watching this show, contributes every day as well.
And he says everyone seems to think I'm wrong, but
I like BYU versus Texas. He says, I know BYU
pissed everyone off this year, but BYU are pretty tough
down the stretch. Steve, I'm very much in agreement with you.
This might not have been the dream season for the
BYU Cougars that they expected, but they just got themselves
a dream matchup in the first round of the NCAA
tournament by Texas winning that game, Rob, I like the Cougars.
Are you getting involved BYU Texas the newest matchup? We
didn't know this matchup until Tuesday night. We now know
it's BYU Texas. What do you got in this one?
Speaker 2: Well, just to further good scenarios for BYU, they've gotten rest.
Speaker 3: Adam.
Speaker 2: We talk about these layoffs as rest versus RUSS twenty twenty. Hindsight,
it's hard to tell. I can honestly say that from
my standpoint, at least for BYU, having this time off
is extremely helpful to this team, which had to play
tough matchups all the way down the stretch against competition
from what some would argue is the best conference in
the country, and shorthanded with the bands to trying to
take the whole thing on with Rob Wright adding support
because of the Richie Saunders injury about seven eight games ago.
So I just think that the rest was so valuable
for BYU that we're gonna see them at full potency offensively,
so to speak, here tonight. I still and I guess
you know, maybe I was dead wrong the other day
when I came on and said, I don't know what
Sean Miller and what Will Wade can take from game
tape in November a matchup I don't know if it
was the third and three days whatever that was in
the tournament in Maui. I didn't know that they could
take anything from that matchup game tape wise and apply
it and make the outcome a little bit different. They
didn't make it a little bit different. They made it
a lot different. That game was so low scoring, so
polar opposite of what their first matchup was. Texas BYU
don't have that luxury going to see each other for
the first time. This is quick on the fly preparation
for Texas. Certainly they had to prep really really hard
for NC State. It's not like that was a look
ahead game to where they could have focused their attention
forward to BYU, thinking if we win, let's just go
prep for BYU. Doesn't happen. So now here we are
in this game, and I kind of love the total
to go over here. I think BYU, rested at full
offensive force, can take advantage of Texas defense. And I
can say the same on the other side, because Brigham
Young certainly is limited somewhat in what they can do defensively.
Defense that has to extend themselves so much on the
offensive end to be what BYU needs him to be.
That you know, he can sort of take a little
bit of time off on the defensive side. Texas is
very capable scoring wise. We pointed that out. Texas does
foul a bunch, as we pointed out, although they have
corrected it to an extent, corrected that issue. I just again,
I think this is going to be polar opposite of
what Texas did the other day against nca State. I
think Greennessee points here. Let me just get a current
number on this game as far as total is concerned.
It team totals I can see right here BYU seventy
nine and a half eighty. Got to say I could
be in for that as well. And full game total
here guys, as we speak, numbers are moving. One fifty
eight seems to well. One fifty seven and a half
actually prevails too. So it in this NCAA tournament board,
which has seen almost every game bender under under, this
game hasn't moved hardly at all. And there's a lot
of one fifty eight still there, So for me, I
think this game hits one sixty plus. I like that
end of it. Adam, I think it's going to be
a little bit of an offensive battle, which is what
we expect generally speaking out of Byu' game played in Portland.
Got to consider a little bit of travel for for Texas.
But I think we've seen in the past these first
four teams don't necessarily run out of gas in the
second game, So for me, it's probably gonna be an overplay.
Speaker 1: Well, for me, this is going to be our parlay league,
and I am going to I'll give one of my
four client I've got four client plays right now for
today to locked in for tomorrow. I will most likely
be adding at least one more. You know, I'm not
I'm feeling good about how things are going right now,
so I'm not going to be shy. I think the
first this weekend probably your best opportunity for the rest
of the way to really make in the NCAA tournament.
Not that not that there's not good spots in the
later rounds, but you know there'll be far less chances
once you're in the sweet sixteen or not so I'm
not leaving anything off. I really like BYU here and
I went b YU money line at minus one thirty
five for clients right now it really hasn't moved much.
Might be minus one forty or minus one forty five.
Speaker 3: We will.
Speaker 1: I'll let Rob tell me what a fair money line
is to put in a parlay. But with this one
comes down to me. Where this one comes for me,
Rob is the fact that b YU this is this
is the best case scenario for them because they they
got a team that's gonna let them ice that that's
gonna force them to ISO score. And if you're BYU
right now in the post Richie Saunders era, that's exactly
what you want to see. You want a defense that's
going to basically you want Aj Devansa in ISO right
like you. You want a defense that's gonna allow him
to get to win a one on one matchup or
get get to a scenario where it's just him the
ball and he's got to, you know, make a move
and try to get a shot off.
Speaker 3: Same thing with Rob.
Speaker 1: Right What you don't want right now if you're BYU
is a team that's gonna like maybe zone you maybe
force you to really spread the floor, because that's what
they've struggled to do now. Rob I noted when I
started to write this one up that you know BYU
and the post Richie Saunders era, right, which is since
he's gotten hurt, they do have a couple of kind
of like very very good wins. You know, they knocked
off Iowa State in Texas Tech, both in the post
Richie Saunders era for them, which is again this is
just since he's been hurt. And then at the Big
Twelve Tournament, they beat Kansas State, they beat West Virginia,
and they played a respectful game, a respectable game with
a very good Houston team.
Speaker 3: So there's it's.
Speaker 1: Possible that they're starting to figure it out a little
bit as well. And I think what people are losing
track of here is the fact that, like there were
people that thought b YU was winning a national chamampionship
this year coming into the season, like that's how highly
they were rated. They probably aren't that, But all you're
asking them to do here is beat a Texas team
that needed a buzzer beater to get buy NC State,
and is just not like this is just not a
good matchup for Texas.
Speaker 3: The final thing.
Speaker 1: I'll say, Voca Titis guy can't stay out of file trouble.
He even got into trouble a little bit in the
NC State game.
Speaker 3: And like the.
Speaker 1: Drop off for them on the front court when he
is not on the floor is notable.
Speaker 3: It's substantial.
Speaker 1: And so you know, if BYU can just get him
into file trouble or de bands that can just capitalize
on these one on one ISO opportunities, BYU is probably
gonna win this game. And so for that reason, I
am on BYU. That's a four percent client play for
me at minus one thirty five, and that will be
the first leg of our parlay. Rob did you what
is the fair money line for BYU?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 2: It looks mostly one forties all the way across Adham.
I see one thirty seven in one.
Speaker 1: Spot and there is we'll call it, well, we'll call
it one forty again obviously shop around.
Speaker 3: I put that out this morning.
Speaker 1: I did notice it like it ticked up a little
bit before we got on the on the show. So again,
minus one forty for the parlay is perfectly fine. And yeah,
I I just think that they've been sort of had
to hear it for the last three four weeks, but
they it. But I haven't heard one person say, you
know what, BYU is playing better basketball, which they If
you're going to beat Texas Tech and then go to
the Big twelve Tournament, win two games, and then play
Houston tight, I think you can officially say they're playing
better than they were in those first couple games without Saunders.
So b Yu for me, love the Cougars here. They
live to at least the round of thirty two. I
do have a small BYU future from the beginning of
the season that is likely a coaster rob at this point,
but I think they at least get to the round
of thirty two. So go Kobs, all right, mad Max,
let's go to this game. This is another one. I
don't think we've talked about this at all on any
show yet, so I'm glad that you brought this one up.
The reason I haven't really brought it up, Rob is
you can't find I can't find a bigger coin flip
than VCU UNC right now. My number comes out right
on where the number is, and I kind of see
a path to victory for both teams here.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna let you kick this one off. Mad
Max likes U n C. Tonight.
Speaker 1: Do you have any interest in the UNC side, he says,
If not, what about the team total?
Speaker 2: You know, Kelly put us on the spots Sunday at
this Sunday show, And.
Speaker 3: No, you wouldn't do such a thing.
Speaker 2: I am not what well, and she knows obviously we
all work together, so she knows everybody's tendencies, but she
knows that I'm not one to come up with outrageous scenarios.
I just kind of stick to my lane. I'm not
gonna make some kind of outrageous claim so that in
case it wins, I can live off of that for
the rest of my career. But she did ask for it,
give me some kind of hot take, something that people
don't see coming that maybe will happen. And mine was
and I think legitimate that there's potential for VCU to
find their way through this round, through the Round of
thirty two, and then into the sweet sixteen. So that
was my so called hot take. Take that for what
it's worth. VCU definitely has a path to victory here,
as does UNC. UNC is the more talented team, I think,
even despite the fact that they lose Caleb Wilson lost
him a few games ago, and just like you mentioned
with Richie Saunders a minute ago, Adam, we have discussed this.
The further these teams get away from an injury and
the more time they have to form something cohesive, the
less that injury really means anymore. And with Caleb Wilson,
he hasn't played in a while, and Vesar has taken
over and been able to do a lot in the post.
Maybe he could do a lot in the post here.
But VCU under Martelli Junior is is such a different style.
UNC probably played I don't know, something similar in FSU,
but FSU just doesn't play the defensive end as good
as Virginia Commonwealth does, So to me, VC you can
cause some headaches on UNC's offensive end for sure, and
turn that into points as well. So for me, I
do think the VCU has a legitimate shot to win here. However,
I can see the counter argument for North Carolina totally
here open one four bet down to one fifty one
and a half, which you know, I would say surprising,
but not surprising because as I mentioned earlier, NCAA tournament
games just blindly get bet to the under up and
down the board universally under under, under, under, under, different venue.
Whatever the reasoning is. I saw a I saw a
little video by good friend colleague Ralph Michaels, who actually
pointed out unders do come through at an alarming rate
in the first round. So maybe mechanically just play unders.
But I always lean towards matchups speak louder than any
you know, three year trend might point two, and this
matchup just doesn't appeal to me as an undergame, Adam,
I think there's ways to score for both, but the
question was about side. I could make a case for both.
As I mentioned earlier, VCU gets through here, they would
play Illinois, who's been somewhat of it. Again, you're just
taking the fact that they've been somewhat underachievers this year,
and maybe VC you could get past them to this
big guard play on Illinois. But for this game in particular,
I don't know. I could see the underdog here push
up in the line to two and a half. I
could also see UNC winning a close game by three
or four using the big guy, especially using the big
guy the star to carry them through this one.
Speaker 1: I actually I lied about this being my number being
right on my number is actually closer to pick, so
it it's like I made it like zero point one
North Carolina, which is a set, I'll just essentially call
that pick.
Speaker 3: So if I was to just trust my number.
Speaker 1: Here, actually VCU does sort of make the cut in
terms of, like, you know, I feel like I've got
two and a half points of line value. But I
think I'm reading the chat and I'm agreeing with a
couple of the takes in the chat. Where my main
concern with VCU was was scoring and if they would
be able to put enough points up to beat North
Carolina in this game. My main concern for North well,
I guess part of the reason that I would gravitate
towards VCU, other than seeing a two and a half
point numerical edge, is because I don't know if UNC
scores enough out to outlast VCU. So ROB do I
Is it as simple as just saying I like the
under here because I think both defenses probably play well
and I see both teams maybe having some trouble putting
the ball in the hoop, So this kind of feels
like an under to me. May I may sort of
just give my opinion out on the total and say, well,
my number likes VCU on the side, but I'm not
confident enough in that, so you know, do what you
will with that.
Speaker 3: But under kind of makes a lot of sense here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, the pace of game will probably
be quick. If I'm just a counter with you know,
we always make those two columns assets liabilities. If I
was going to play under, I would say, well, pace
of play is probably going to give us enough possessions,
enough chances to score, where VCU is always concerned you
can end up in somewhat of a foul game. The
game lined at two and a half might suggest that
down the stretch last ninety seconds we're in one of
those foul score foul score type of deals. So extension
could to the total could happen. But if we're just
speaking fundamentally throughout the course of the game, those other
asset points are well taken. VCU does not shoot the
ball well. UNC has had some periods of time where
they've struggled, but I think they've been a better scoring
team than somethin interesting matchup, Adam, one of the better
ones for today. When you have an opinion on a total,
I'm gonna I'm gonna go by you because you don't
have a lot of opinions on totals. So we'll see
how that would goes. But the question was about UNC,
and I'm not going to talk anybody off of U
n C. I do you know the Greenville venue might
help U n C. They're going to travel much better
to South Carolina, although VCU fans Virginia is a hop
skipping to jump away as well. Richmond is not that far,
so we'll see, but I think the stands might be
dominated by UNC Carolina Blue today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some some green and gold to be scattered around
that venue. Rob Uh, don't worry about that. We got
we got some people going down. But yeah, that's listen again.
If you the final thing I'll say about this game,
if you do like UNC, I would not be that
surprised if that two and a half got hit at
some point. My gut tells me VCU is gonna take
some money here over the next hour or two, and
if they do, you might get that money line knockdown
where you can just simply take North Carolina to win.
That is far more appealing in my opinion, Like if
if you can get like a minus one thirty money
line on UNC to win as opposed to having to
lay two and a half, that's far more appealing. That's
I would wait. If you like North Carolina, I think
the right move is to wait. My gut says VCU
is getting hit here probably as soon as I say
on this show, because that's how this that's how how
it goes, Rob. As soon as we start talking about
something on a show, the board starts moving. So uh yeah, wait,
if you like UNC, in my opinion, all right, this
is one, so Rob this, let's revisit this game, Garth says.
Another player like as USF in quotes upsetting Louisville. Now,
this one we talked about quite a bit, but it
was part of our our selection Sunday show when the
brackets first came out. And then I think you and
I sort of went into this game on Monday before
all the news, you know, before the news was official
that mckel brown wouldn't play, and you know, quite frankly,
when USF was a much better number than it is now.
But I agree with the sentiment here, Garth with upsetting
in quotes, I don't think it's that much of an
upset if South Florida wins this game. I almost think
the lesser team and the teams that Louisville profiles as
the mid major here, Rob, they're gonna have to hit
a whole bunch of threes to win this game, while
us SEP is the bigger, stronger, faster, more physical team. So, Garth,
I have to agree with the way you phrase that.
I don't think it'd be that big of an upset
if South Florida leaves Buffalo with a win this afternoon,
and if you can still get a five, I think
that's playable, even if it's five minus one twenty. Rob,
your thoughts USF Louisville, are you in line there?
Speaker 3: And what about the total?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, And I was reading a little bit
about how this might be a little bit of a
homecoming for Brian Hodgson, head coach of USF, obviously started
on the staff of NATO's at Buffalo, so for him
maybe a little meaning. I don't know how that would
work into a handicap, just a little general fact. I
like the South Florida side. I said it before this season.
I've been on Louisville a couple of times into their credit.
They've come through for me playing them team. Total wise,
this game's going to be fast, up and down. Neither
team knows any other way to play. But I do
think that South Florida can sort of force the issue.
You know, it's often said that a team that presses
hates to be pressed back. I'm not going to use
the press, so to speak here, but I'm going to
say that a team that loves to play extreme tempo,
you know, it doesn't exactly like extreme tempo right back
down their throats. And that's kind of how I see this.
For the Louisville side, they're the favorite side South Florida
to me. And I know Adam, you were on him
since the start of the season, but to me, they
played their best basketball down the stretch. They look better
and better and better every time I see them now.
They've cleaned up some things defensively, which makes them a
little bit better. I can't say the same for Louisville
on that end. If you would ask me, know, if
you and I were given a piece of paper with
all let's just say eighteen names of the top nine
on each side, and you and I got to draft
the guy who got more Louisvio players, would probably be
in good shape. But that aside, I just think as
a team, South Florida plays the game the way Louisvio
plays it, they play it better, and as you said earlier,
the fact that they go to the rim so much
more than Louisville does. And when you're minus mckel brown
shooting threes, it makes a difference. Go back and look
at some games. It makes a difference when he's not
out there to help shoot these things. And South Florida's
got the time to prep for that. That perimeter defense,
I would expect to be a little bit better here today.
They're gonocus on it. Louisville might get in some foul
trouble trying to defend South Florida go into the rim.
So for me, I've liked South Florida since the beginning.
Obviously the world likes him, and maybe that's because they
figured out or not they figured out, but it was
announced that Brown officially wouldn't play. So we're staring at
four and a half now. If you got it early,
and I think you got a five and a half
anticipating the Brown not playing, Remember I sent you that
thing earlier in the week. Louis occur Courier Journal reporting
that he's available to play, and then all of a sudden,
he's not going to play.
Speaker 1: I think we on our shows all week were pretty
adamant that Brown was not gonna play, and BJ Edwards
was not going to play, and BJ Edwards did not
play last night. For SMU, Louisville was nice enough to
at least tell people a few days before that Brown
is out, because I don't think Edwards ever had any
intention of playing, but SMU did a heck of a
job trying to make it look like he was. Listen,
you know, there's probably some correlation here if you like Louisville,
which I do not.
Speaker 3: I like South Florida. In this game, I think South.
Speaker 1: Florida is gonna win, But if you like Louisville, they
are going to They're gonna have to shoot a lot
of threes to win, like there's no question, Like they're
gonna probably have to win a high scoring shootout type game,
similar to the game they beat Miami maybe a week
or two ago, where it was like ninety two to
eighty nine. So I definitely definitely think there's some correlation
Louisville over But but for me, I just don't without
mckel brown, I don't trust them to play that game
efficiently enough to beat South Florida, who's just like you said,
they've been playing their best ball.
Speaker 3: Something. I'll put one more thing I want to point
out about South Florida.
Speaker 1: They basically hired a defensive coordinator this year in Tobin Anderson,
who was Iona's head coach last year kind of was
just like fired at like just randomly fired because he
didn't do a bad job, but you know, they wanted
to go in a different direction, and so Hodgson brought
him in as almost like in a associate head coach
type higher. But his number one entire job was just
the defense. And so I mean he's a great head coach,
Tovin Anderson. Of course you'll see him, especially if Sianna
wins today. Rob you'll see him a lot because he
was the last sixteen to beat a one when he
was at Fairley Dickinson. But you made the point South
Florida's defense has improved, Yes, that was him. Like he's
taken this team, which was very all over the place
defensively at the beginning of the year, and they've played
great defense the last month or so. It's because they
have a head coach there that's straight up coaching their defense,
and in a really good one at that. He also
got a head coaching job. He's gonna be the next
head coach at Tennessee Tech. So props to Tobin Anderson.
But for this South Florida team, I think that's why
you've seen this really big jump Defensively, they're the better
team here.
Speaker 3: I don't know how else to say it.
Speaker 1: You're getting You're still even at the bad number, you're
still kenching points with the better team, as simple as that.
All right, rob Bino, I have one question that I
want to go to in the chat that's not a
game breakdown, So I'm gonna I'm just gonna bring this
question out because I think this is very interesting. Uh
favorite Survivor play today from Veno and Trigg. People are
getting into college basketball Survivor.
Speaker 3: I've done it. I'm in it this year.
Speaker 1: I didn't do as many last year because I still
was trying to feel it out. Essentially, what college basketball
Survivor pools are there? You you cannot burn teams that
you think are going to the Elite eight, the final
four of the championship game. You straight up just cannot
use those teams in the early round or you will
get to the later rounds with a chance with it
where you where you're taking a big underdog, probably in
an Elite eight game or a Final four game. So
the key to survivor is finding a play that you
think wins today but likely loses in the round of
thirty two. And so favorite survivor play today from me,
and then I'll let Rob have the floor. I think
i'd looked toward Nebraska against Troy or Vanderbilt against McNee State.
The reason being is I don't see either of those
teams getting upset. But you're also you've also got a
double digit favorite. Now there is merit in these competitions
to getting a little bit crazy in the early rounds,
especially if you have multiple entries. And then I would
say maybe Saint Mary's or BYU would be worth a
look as a small favorite. But when I'm seeing when
I look at all the teams, all the spreads, all
those twenty point favorites, you don't want to use them
because you're gonna need them in later rounds. And then
I feel like Nebraska and Vandy are kind of sitting
there for you at like double digit spreads, whereas like,
I don't know, I think you have to take one
of those double digit favorites as opposed to like, yeah,
like Saint Mary's might get through, BYU might get through,
but all of those teams probably aren't making the Elite eight.
Speaker 3: Or the Final four. So that's how I would approach it.
Speaker 1: I think Nebraska and Vandy are the two survivor plays today.
Rob anything to add there, and if not, feel free
to just move on to whatever you want to talk
about for the parlay.
Speaker 2: It's interesting as I look through it, Adam, I don't know,
just trying to comb the brackets, I don't know that
I would be confident enough to use Illinois a second time.
I just talked about how I think they could possibly
lose should BCU advanced, they could possibly lose if North
Carolina wins that game, and as they move on the
next step would be through Houston. So if I'm anticipating
not using Illinois a second time, like just once and then,
I don't think that I would use them again, I
think today would be the day to do it. Your
twenty five and a half point favorite, you shouldn't lose
the pen. But I think the opportunity for them to
get beat the next couple of rounds not so much that,
but the fact that I don't think I would use them.
Speaker 3: Sure. Yeah, that's a great one, really good point. That's
a really good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, if you don't, if you don't think the
ali and if if there's gonna be a matchup, that's
another great point, Rob if there's gonna be not gonna
be the matchup that you want with a team that's
not like in your Elite eight or Final four, those
are who you're gonna want to use over the next
couple of days. So yeah, if you're if you think
Troy or McNeice is live for an upset, Illinois probably
is the safest of any survivor pick that would make
sense today because all the other ones that are quote
unquote safer picks. You need those teams, You need the Dukes,
you need the Michigans. But if, yeah, if if you
can do without Illinois. I don't disagree with that at all.
Let's a that's a that's a good point. And yeah,
if you so, we've got eight minutes left, it's gonna
be at minimum of two team or maybe we'll agree
on a leg, but I'm gonna throw it to Rob
any game he wants to talk about and lock his
parlay leg in right here.
Speaker 2: And I'll give you one that we have talked little,
if at all about. I don't think we hit on
this game whatsoever, type point spread, but I'm going to
go to style of play here, and it's been bet
up a little, but I'm going to play Saint Mary's
minus three against Texas A and M was two and
a half better number than three, obviously, but now you
have to lay the three. But I'm going to do it.
We often talk about in this tournament you get out
of conference. We hit on this on the Sunday Show.
The most difficult thing to me where matchups are concerned
in these NCAA tournament non conference games is unique style.
And there's no more unique style than Saint Mary's as
far as slow basketball is concerned. You put that up
against a team that just wants to go the way
Bucky Ball does want to go at Texas A and M,
and I think it causes problems just from a conceptual standpoint,
I think that matchup causes problems no matter who it
is to further that you would say that Texas A
and M probably lost more than day one down the
stretch of the SEC season because the Sea the Seed
teams were granted the ability to see Bucky McMillan's style,
and as the season went on, it got less and
less effective. Maybe the players burnt out a little bit,
not used to the conditioning that it takes to play
this style. But maybe it's also SEC teams getting enough
tape on this stuff and saying, Okay, here's how we
attack these guys. Saint Mary's doesn't necessarily have that, so
their style is unique to Saint Mary's as well. All
that being said, I wait the Saint Mary's style as
being more effective offensively against the defense of Texas A
and M. I wait the Saint Mary's style being more
effective and frustrating Texas A and M more than what
Texas A and M does to frustrate Saint Mary's. But
the real clincher for me, Adam is this year, Saint
Mary's rebounds the ball so well. I don't know that
A and M is going to get a lot of
second chances at shots in this game. Saint Mary's is
an elite elite rebounding team, and we can't just brush
off the WCC anymore. I mean usually so Saint Mary's Gonzaga,
Saint Mary's Gonzaga. But guess who else is in the
DAN Santa Clara this year. It's a better basketball league
and it's been in the past. I kind of put
extra stock into Saint Mary's rebounding numbers. Randy Bennett is
a tested tournament coach. The other side has Bucky McMillan,
and my estimation, good coach, good system, but just not
the same. I don't like the way A and M
closed the season. I like the way Saint Mary's came
back and beat Gonzaga in that second meeting when they
had to. I like Saint Mary's here to win by
at least four, So I'm gonna lay the three as
a parlay leg here. Saint Mary's minus three over A
and M. Game also is played in Oklahoma City, which
could favor Some would say, hey, listen, A and M
is gonna have more fans. But I just don't see
Saint Mary's adam as a team that gets rattled by venue,
and I don't think they're ever rattled. So they've got
enough shooting they've got enough rebounding. They've got a style
to me that works and adds up to a four
point one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those if you like Saint Mary's, I would
probably grab it now those three. There are still plenty
of threes out there, but I do see a couple
of places going to three and a half.
Speaker 3: On that one, we're gonna use what we'll use three
for the parlay.
Speaker 1: I may you know, I'm actually not even gonna attach
juice because there's still plenty of threes. But I do
see some books moving toward three and a half. So
just to note there, I rob So here's I'm just
gonna go back to our last segment for a second.
If you want, if you want to be the guy
that's like, I need straight up carnage, I need big upsets,
and I want to I want to go different from
everyone in Survivor.
Speaker 3: I think the way to do that is Saint Mary's.
Speaker 1: I think Saint Mary's for me is the is probably
the strongest, small, like short favorite on the board. I
don't think you should be taking an underdog ever in Survivor.
So let's put it that way. You should never you
should be able to map up your map out your
survivor where you're never on an underdog, and so if
you don't want to burn, like a lot of people
are gonna use Nebraska, a lot of people probably use
Vandy because I think people have.
Speaker 3: The same thought process.
Speaker 1: Illinois is a good option, that's, you know, but if
it's the safer option, you're not gonna you'd be burning
a team that could make it pretty far. I think
Saint Mary's is like the good sort of like I'm
gonna zig when everyone else zags type survivor entry and Rob,
I'm with you. This is one that's kind of I've
been kind of looking at it all week, thinking along
the lines that you were thinking, where it's a you know,
great stylistic matchup for Saint Mary's. I trust Randy Bennett
in this spot against you know, to to putting a
game plan together that's going to neutralize Texas A and
M and the Bucky ball sort of style.
Speaker 3: So I can't disagree with you here.
Speaker 1: I think you made really good points and I could
only jump on that bet with you on Saint Mary's.
And again, I think if you're just again to hammer
the point home because people are doing survivors for me,
this would be the this would this would be the
non double digit favorite Survivor pick today Saint Mary's to
win in Survivor because I don't think this team's making
a crazy run this year, but I do think they
gave him a very nice first round matchup.
Speaker 3: So my question to you, Rob is do.
Speaker 1: You want to leave it a two teamer or should
we agree on a leg and get crazy.
Speaker 3: It's up to you.
Speaker 1: We hit it two listen, we string together a couple
two team parlay wins, We're going to be back in
the mix, and you know it's your call. Do you
want to try to agree on it? We got to
decide in the next minute.
Speaker 3: You know one out there. I'll let you know if
I agree.
Speaker 2: Let me say this to you really quick. For those
who don't know, I'll be on a plane to Las
Vegas tonight. I won't be on the show tomorrow with
Adam and it'll have a different guest, but Adam, I'll
send in picks for the parlay while I'm on the road,
So with different guests tomorrow. If you want to go
three team tomorrow, yeah, let's do that tomorrow with your
guest and my pick from Afar I'll be in Las
Vegas in the madness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably should have brought that up.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: That's awesome that you're getting out to Vegas for that.
Matt Winnick is going to fill in for you tomor so.
He was with me over Thanksgiving break when you were out.
He's awesome, tremendous basketball mind. So so looking forward to
having him on tomorrow. And yeah, we'll do that. We'll
make it a three team or tomorrow with me, you
and then of course Matt Winnick the co host for
tomorrow's show. And so for today, let's just keep it
a two teamers see if we can go back to
back two team wins on the parlay BYU on the
money line. Saint Mary's minus three BYU is one of
my four client plays today. I'm probably gonna add I
may at at least one more. I love the slate
today and I've got four locked in. One of those
is BYU. You can get all of them and everything
Rob has for today on the double. The Firepower CBB
package that's up on both of our pages. If you
email in the customer support, they'll give you a discount
to have that essentially through I like to say through
one shining moment, Rob, because you know that is the
official end of the college basketball season. The nets are
cut down, it's well passed midnight on the East Coast,
and you're waiting for them to play that same dumb song.
They got rid of the everything good about like you know,
courts and like you know they sterilize like the look
of March madness, But we still have to listen to
that song.
Speaker 3: They haven't changed the song.
Speaker 1: So anyway, have a great day today, everyone, enjoy the games, Rob,
and I'll be back in the morning for more full
court press and good luck to everyone.
Speaker 3: Stay safe. We'll see you guys in the morning.
