1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in, we are live. It's time for

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,400
full court Press. It's Friday. We've got Brian Power back

3
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:15,720
in his normal spot, your typical Friday slate. I think

4
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:20,679
couple games, obviously a trillion games. Tomorrow I showed up

5
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:23,280
in my Buffalo Bulls hoodie. They have one of the

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,399
biggest games that they've had in years tomorrow. But that's tomorrow. Today,

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,640
we've got a nice slate to talk about him, Brian Power.

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,600
I'm gonna go to you first, Nashville, Tennessee tonight, Gonzaga Kentucky,

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,280
neutral court. Both teams kind of had a bad effort

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,439
last time out, if you will, Gonzaga got blitzed. Kentucky

11
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,920
hasn't had a good effort against a good team yet

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,560
this season, neutral floor, Big Blue Nation will be there.

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,399
We know that. How are you seeing Gonzaga Kentucky tonight?

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,479
Speaker 2: So I'm going to open this breakdown by asking a question.

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,079
It's kind of an odd way to open a breakdown

16
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,520
by me asking a question I'm supposed to by being

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,479
on full core Pressed, I guess allegedly supposed to have

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,439
the answers. But my question to the both of you

19
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,959
and everyone that is thankfully watching the show here on

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,040
Way to Talk TV, guys smash that like button, a

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,159
few would be so kind? Who's betting Kentucky in this game? Like?

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,560
And I asked that because it's very instructive. And I

23
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,200
asked Trigg, you know you and I something and I,

24
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:23,959
you know, having talked to you a little bit more

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,319
than Rob the vieers, I know for you, that's a

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,239
very instructive question because when you have a matchup, a

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,799
high profile matchup like this, and no one wants a

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,319
part of one side, all of a sudden, you know,

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,799
guys like me, I know me. I'm not going to

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,120
speak for you, Drig, but yeah, I know myself. All

31
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,920
of a sudden, I start looking at that side, maybe

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,040
a little bit more than I should. I was in line.

33
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,879
Now before we get to the number you mentioned it

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640
both teams off poor performances. Why is no one? Why

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,359
do I ask? Who's betting Kentucky in this game? Will

36
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:53,599
a lot of people just watch this team?

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: What was it?

38
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,519
Speaker 2: Seventy two hours ago? Play North Carolina and Rob Vino.

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,319
I believe they went ten minutes about making a shot

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,519
very different called to win a basketball game. When you

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
go ten minutes without making a shot. I believe they

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,280
were one for thirteen from three in that game. And

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,680
we talk about three point variants all the time. The

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,840
problem for Kentucky if you're just like, oh, well they'll

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,840
bounce back, you know what, are they gonna go one

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,000
for thirteen again? The problem is they this has sort

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,240
of been a long term, big picture issue for them

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,800
shooting from deep. And it's not like Gonzaga is a

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,120
bad defensive basketball team. Zag is a good defensive team.

50
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,120
If you can't score against North Carolina, I'm not confident

51
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:35,879
that you're gonna score against Gonzaga. Now on the Gonzaga side,

52
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,479
this is a team that's had what over a week now,

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,000
more than a week, close to ten days to stew

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,879
over being absolutely humiliated in front of a national television

55
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,680
audience in the Player's Era Final by Michigan. So I

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,960
think a lot of people and clearly this is what

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,000
you look at the hod screen, what the market's thinking here,

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,439
this is a bounce back. They think it's Gonzaga more

59
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,199
than likely to bounce back. I was in line with

60
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,159
the opener. So when I saw this short number, I

61
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:08,919
was like, oh man, there's gonna be value on Gonzaga,

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
and then I looked at my numbers and I said, ooh,

63
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,360
it's actually not really very much value on Gonzaga, especially

64
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:21,199
after they've taken the early money. So I don't know,

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,080
we've gotten into trouble on some of these high profile matchups,

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,919
haven't We triggered Rob Moore. We're like, man, I can't

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680
believe how this numbers taken off. Eventually, I'm gonna want

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,879
to punch back at the market. And that's what I

69
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,039
feel like. I want to say right here on this

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,199
game that it's going to reach a point where I'm like, hey,

71
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,360
maybe there's a little bit of value on Kentucky. I

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,560
don't know, though Gonzaga. My feeling is Mark fu is

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,639
gonna have his troops ready.

74
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would concur Brian. I wrote down some numbers

75
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:52,639
just to put some context into what a couple of

76
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:56,520
things that you were saying. You know, they've played three

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,400
big games this year Kentucky. They played Louisville. They played Michigan.

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: State on the neutral.

79
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: They played UNC out rebounded by thirteen by Michigan State,

80
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:12,719
out rebounded by ten by UNC. It prompted Mark Pope again,

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,199
let's go to Mark Pope quotes because he's been actively

82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,199
talking this year. We got crushed on the glass. We

83
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,959
just got crushed on the glass. It's very, very disappointing tonight.

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: For sure.

85
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that's who we are. I'm really frustrated

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,399
with the eight assists and nine turnovers. That's not who

87
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,680
we've been either. We need guys to step up and

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,040
give us great efforts. It's not the first time we've

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
heard that from him. He's obviously the guy who said

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,079
he was going to straighten this whole thing out a

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,879
couple of games ago because he didn't think they were

92
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:45,319
playing as a team, but as individuals. Not only were

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,839
they outrebounded guys. Brian, you talked about three point shooting

94
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,160
one for thirteen against USC. It was seven for thirty

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,439
against Michigan State, and Michigan State, to me, is probably

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,319
the better comp game because I feel like Gonzaga falls

97
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,720
in line D defensively and on the glass more with

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,199
Michigan State. Although UNC is always a good rebounding team,

99
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,079
but Gonzaga on the boards, Gonzaga on the defensive end

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360
is generally comparable to what Michigan State is, and if

101
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,279
you look at the rebounding numbers this year. Gonzaga is

102
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,399
a really good rebounding team. How is Kentucky gonna win

103
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:24,079
the boards tonight? They probably don't. For all the shooting

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,399
woes that Kentucky had in their game, Gonzaga had him

105
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,519
twofold against Michigan. And I'm sitting there watching that game

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,040
and I'm like, Okay, eventually the Gonzaga run is coming,

107
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,879
and you know what came another Michigan run. It was

108
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,600
like Michigan ten, oh, Michigan twelve two, Michigan fourteen to three,

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240
all these runs and they were run totally out of

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,199
the gym. I don't think since the championship game against

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,040
Baylor a few years back, I don't think I've seen

112
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:52,199
Gonzaga beating that soundly in a long time. I think

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,759
they'll bounce back. I'll tell you what to you guys.

114
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,959
The total at one fifty eight and a half. If

115
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,040
you're just talking bounce Both of these teams were so

116
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,519
poor offensively, you would think they get back to the

117
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,839
norm a little bit here, and maybe that total is

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,600
a shade too low off of the prior results or

119
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,079
the most recent results. I would have loved to have

120
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,399
been in on the opening number Gonzaga minus three. I

121
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,800
think that's a win. Pushing, like you say, Brian out

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,519
of five and a half, five to five and a half,

123
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:22,720
it gets a little bit tougher.

124
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:23,959
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

125
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: If you're gonna ask me which one of these coaches

126
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,279
is going to get there too, or which team is

127
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:32,000
better prepped so far this season or have shown better

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,600
results so far this season to make us believe that

129
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:37,399
there's a there's a bounce back here, I'd have to

130
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,519
say it's Gonzaga. I think they're more well rounded. I

131
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600
think they go and transition better. I think a lot

132
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,399
of things are better about Gonzaga and Kentucky to me

133
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:46,000
still seems to be in a little bit of an

134
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,279
evaluation experimentation stage. If I had to bet it, guys,

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,600
I would probably lean to the Gonzaga side, And I

136
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,439
think I would lean over here. I think this game

137
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,399
probably gets into.

138
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:56,959
Speaker 1: The one sixties.

139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, just one quick point. If Kentucky makes their threes,

140
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:07,360
and that's a big if the game's probably going over right,

141
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,560
I mean I would almost say that, hey, you know

142
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,879
that we you know taking me over. You don't have

143
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:14,800
to worry about a potential Gonzaga bounce back. I think

144
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,720
if Kentucky it's their threes, this game does probably go

145
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,199
over the total.

146
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I so my general sort of thought on this

147
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:25,240
board today. I haven't bet anything yet college basketball, which

148
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,879
is is not totally rare, but like I kind of

149
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000
I bet later in the day for a couple of reasons.

150
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,120
But on this particular slate, I find myself thinking, Oh,

151
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,720
I'm gonna want to push back at some of these numbers,

152
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240
some of these moves. This one's kind of on my

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,439
list to do that. Now do I do I want

154
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,839
to step in front of Gonzaga. I don't know. I

155
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,040
don't really want to. But everything's got a price, right Brian, Like,

156
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:49,879
if they're gonna I mean, if they're going to push

157
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:52,120
this one up, I'm seeing five and a half some

158
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,839
places right now, Like, there is a price that I

159
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:57,879
may consider jumping in when Kentucky. Now, it might be

160
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:02,120
contingent on a couple of things, the first being Jalen

161
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,959
Low playing in this game. I heard it's a possibility

162
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,480
that would certainly sort of make me like Kentucky a

163
00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:11,120
lot more than I would without him. Of course, my

164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,079
numbers all out of whack on Kentucky because they've they've

165
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:18,519
had key injuries pretty much all season, the transfer from

166
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:21,199
Arizona State, Quentin's I don't think it is even stepped

167
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,879
on the floor yet this year. Dia bot p Yeah,

168
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:28,279
he's been out so and of course Jalen Lowe's only

169
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,519
played two games, come over from Pitt. He was someone

170
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,519
that I remember you and I did a pit preview

171
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,080
Brian and we were all about him maybe a year

172
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,960
or two ago as hit. So would love to have

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,440
him on the floor. That would make me sort of lean,

174
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,039
you know, if you had the combination of like low

175
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,440
playing and this got up to five and a half

176
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:51,279
or six, would I like Listen, I saw Bayou in

177
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240
the chat speaking to someone else saying, Hey, this isn't

178
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,080
Someone said, well, this isn't at ro Arena. It's in Nashville. Listen,

179
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,200
Nashville is might as well be roughed. This is like Yukon.

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,480
This is gonna be like Yukon ban showing up to

181
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:04,000
the garden.

182
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:05,879
Speaker 2: I mean it's a lot closer than it's a lot

183
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,000
closer to Lexington than it is just Spokane. In case,

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,600
if you don't guys, don't have your map out in

185
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:10,320
the chat.

186
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,279
Speaker 1: But even if it was on the moon, Brian, the

187
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,759
Kentucky fans would get there somehow, like they just they

188
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:17,320
just show up, like you're not gonna get Gonzaga fans

189
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:21,360
probably more than like a small section traveling to Nashville

190
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,039
for this game. So I do think maybe you bump

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,840
a point, maybe a point for for Kentucky having the

192
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,600
environment being kind of quote unquote at home here. The

193
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
concern for me is the three games that Kentucky has

194
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:37,360
now played against. I think we've coined the term weight

195
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,720
class on this show, like the only ones that you're

196
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,440
really going to evaluate Kentucky so far this season would

197
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,879
be the Louisville game, the Michigan State game, and the

198
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,799
North Carolina game. Have have none of them have been good? Right?

199
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,200
Give up ninety six points to Louisville, just get destroyed

200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240
by Michigan State, and then by sort of all accounts,

201
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,879
played poorly even though it was a close game. Did

202
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:01,480
not play well in that game against North Carolina in

203
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,039
a game that correct me if I'm wrong, they were

204
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,919
close to a touchdown favorite in when it was all

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,399
said and done. So I'd love to like confidently come

206
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,000
on here and say, oh yeah, Kentucky plus the points,

207
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:15,240
they've got a great chance to win. But I think

208
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,080
there's some things that need to happen before I can

209
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,360
get there with that. So I'll lean if I see

210
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,679
five and a half. At five and a half, I

211
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,159
got a lean Kentucky's, but I haven't bet it yet,

212
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:25,080
and I don't know if I will.

213
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,039
Speaker 2: A few things here just to put a bow on it.

214
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,480
Number one, our chats has gotten very lively about this game,

215
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,480
certainly conflicting points of view on who's going to win

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,639
and cover the night. Number two. I think we mentioned

217
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:42,720
this before the North Carolina game, and yes, driag, Kentucky

218
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,559
did close. Six and a half is what I marked

219
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:50,600
it down as Kentucky last year was significantly worse outside

220
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:52,519
of Rupp Arena. We talked about how they'll still have

221
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,240
the fans support edge in Nashville, obviously just one state down,

222
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480
but this was not the same team away from Rup

223
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,480
that it was last year year. Let's note that now,

224
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,279
of course the North Carolina game where was that? That

225
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,720
was right in Lexington, Kentucky, and they couldn't hit water

226
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:08,679
from boat, so that doesn't bode well. I don't know

227
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,360
if you know, it's a new team. It's a new year,

228
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,039
but that was not encouraging. Normally you see a shooting

229
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,480
display that bad, you do want to run in, bounce

230
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,879
and back the team. But I don't know. Like we said,

231
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,200
three games now, Kentucky's played a good team and they

232
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,799
haven't looked at any of them. Yeah, well as cowboys

233
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,000
smug by the way, whoever asked in the chest full

234
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:32,759
of cowboys tears this morning, thank you very much.

235
00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that was big for me too, BP. I

236
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:36,600
know you had Lions for a big play. Shout out,

237
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
BP hit a five percenter and I didn't even know

238
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:40,759
you had the Lions and I had the Lions for

239
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,480
a four percent. So big, big night for us in football,

240
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:50,679
in college basketball, my teams continue to find inexplicable ways

241
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,000
to blow games. Doug Gottlieve is still punching air right

242
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:59,519
now for me. So anyway, by you says like Kentucky

243
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,840
likes lady yesterday, we have not seen their ceiling yet,

244
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:05,679
we could tonight. My argument would be, you can't without

245
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,960
Jayalen Low. You're not gonna see Kentucky sniff their ceiling

246
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480
without Low. Given the fact that they've also missed two

247
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,799
of their other best two of their other top players.

248
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:17,519
So they're gonna need to get healthy to realize their ceiling.

249
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,720
But low back would be a pretty big step in

250
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,440
the right direction. And that's something I will monitor as

251
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,679
the day goes on. Today. So people ask me sometimes

252
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,960
a little segue here into a different game, and then

253
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:32,600
I'll get you. I see you, Garth. I know you

254
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:36,720
want to talk mac basketball. We'll go there in a minute. Obviously,

255
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,639
I'm you know, I'm ready to talk mac hoops, but

256
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:42,360
I want to do a little segue here. Someone asked me, like,

257
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:44,679
how do you pick the games you're gonna go to?

258
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:48,639
And it's like really a combination of like just when

259
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,879
I have an open day Mallory letting me out of

260
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:55,240
the house, maybe getting maybe getting some uh maybe getting

261
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,840
some media credentials, how many games I can hit at once,

262
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,639
and then I like to see teams when they're they're

263
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,159
really good, and so a spot I kind of had

264
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,200
circled because I also like to like try to get

265
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,399
three or four games in twenty four hours, just economical, right.

266
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:12,399
I was going to try to go down to the

267
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,000
crosstown rivalry this year and I bailed on that. And

268
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,960
the reason I bailed on that is, I can't. I

269
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,919
can't justify I would have dragged you out there, BPR.

270
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,159
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, because Noway's like, how many

271
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:25,360
times are you gonna go to Ohio?

272
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

273
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would have dragged you out there. And

274
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,279
I said, you know what, I can't do with these

275
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,279
two teams. It just can't do it this year. We

276
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:34,440
got to do it a different year. The Crosstown Shootout

277
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,919
I believe they call it, is at the Cintas Center

278
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:42,080
Xavier Cincinnati tonight, both teams massively underachieving right now.

279
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: Present Chili by the way.

280
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that would have been the draw. That would

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,639
have been the draw for me, BP the fact that

282
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,039
we would have probably hit up Skyline Chili at some point.

283
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,080
I don't know if Xavier has one fifth third has

284
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480
a Skyline Chili in the arena. I'm not sure. I've

285
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,960
never been to Cintas Center, something I found extremely interesting.

286
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,679
I'll let Rob kick this one off and then we'll

287
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,000
go to VP. Cincinnati hasn't won at Xavier since two

288
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,080
thousand and one? Is that true? Now? The reason it

289
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,240
might be true is I do think that these two

290
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,360
teams have played on a neutral a couple of times.

291
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:19,840
I think this game has been played in that arena

292
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,320
in Cincinnati that's not Cincinnati's campus venue. I know Cincinnati

293
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,919
Dayton will play there occasionally, but that to me seems insane.

294
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,799
Obviously it's played every year. They typically alternate home road.

295
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,240
That being said, neither of these teams have inspired a

296
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:41,480
ton of confidence this year wanting to back them. Cincinnati

297
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,240
with the lost to Eastern Michigan, Xavier a disastrous start

298
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,480
to the season. Rob, we had some opinions on Xavier.

299
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,559
Do you think they've turned it around enough to justify

300
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:53,799
backing them at home in this spot?

301
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: Well, sidewise, I won't speak on, but total wise, I

302
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,799
think see potential for that Adam Right now, Xavier last

303
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,240
three games, three straight up wins, but better than that

304
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,879
three game totals that have gone over five consecutive team

305
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:18,039
totals over the number four Xaviers scoring points, and unlike Cincinnati,

306
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,799
they've decided to go with quicker pace on the offensive

307
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:22,600
end this year. I think both of these teams are

308
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,320
top thirty five and as far as quickness time of

309
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,080
possession is concerned, so it looks like we'll get a

310
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,679
faster game than maybe what we're accustomed to out of Xavier, Cincinnati,

311
00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:37,279
and Xavier right now, for what it's worth, seventy eight

312
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,679
against West Virginia. And we know we've talked all season long,

313
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,919
guys about West Virginia with the coaching change, being an underteam,

314
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,399
being a slow and like Snail's pace game, that game

315
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,600
hit one forty six Corpus Christy, I don't want to

316
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,080
make too much out of that. Saint Francis, PA, even

317
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,279
though you were sporting their colors the other day, Adam,

318
00:15:57,279 --> 00:15:59,480
I don't want to make too much of that, but

319
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,840
they have on team total over five straight. If you

320
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,360
just backtrack, you get the Georgia game. Of course, that's

321
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,120
the famous game where we had fifty three in the

322
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,799
first half and couldn't get our team total over and

323
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,919
then prior to that ninety nine again, so do you

324
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,039
so I see something out of Richard Patino's offensive end,

325
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,519
and Cincinnati hasn't been a slow team, so I think

326
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,159
I'll get the posion. They've still been a pretty good

327
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,679
defensive team, still a pretty good rebounding team on the

328
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:26,480
defensive end. But when I look at team total, here

329
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,759
I see Xavier seventy five and a half and I

330
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:30,320
think that one might get there. That's the thing that

331
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,639
caught my attention the most in this game. The total,

332
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,200
as you guys can see, one forty three and a

333
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,159
half opener all the way to one forty eight. I

334
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:43,000
don't know BP is at the ass end of the line.

335
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,960
If I bet over one forty eight, I don't know,

336
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:47,080
but I've lost four and a half points worth of

337
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:50,519
value in that, which I haven't really lost with Xavier's

338
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:53,320
team total. So for me, guys, that's the perspective I

339
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,600
looked at it. Didn't really look at it from the side.

340
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720
I wonder, Trig, if you decided not to go because

341
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,600
you just don't want to be involved in any game

342
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,839
ending xavior Cincinnati brawl altercation type thing.

343
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: We don't want to there all you're throwing hands. There

344
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,119
was an all time or that's got to be like

345
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,200
fifteen twenty years ago.

346
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:14,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was the guy. Yeah that was.

347
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,559
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of a bad blood there. But

348
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,559
for me, guys, I'm looking at I haven't bet it yet,

349
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,359
but I'm looking at the Xavier team total over seventy

350
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:20,920
five and a half.

351
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: This will I have not decided on my leg of

352
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,319
the parlay yet so I may come back this one.

353
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,599
I like Xavier on the money line here, you know

354
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,799
something at this and this is true for all sports,

355
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:37,799
not just college basketball. Sometimes what we do is, you know,

356
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,519
first impressions mean a lot, And what we do in

357
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,400
any sport is we get our initial impression of a

358
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,680
team and we let it stick with us for too long.

359
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:50,000
In baseball, Trigg And I know you could speak to this.

360
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,000
We're all baseball is such a long season, like teams

361
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,200
could completely change over the course of one hundred and

362
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,640
sixty two games. And you know, you say, you're saying

363
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,799
things that are true about a ball club in May

364
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,759
that just simply aren't true anymore in August. Well, I'm

365
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,519
bringing this up because we were all piling on Xavier.

366
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:06,920
We were on the show. We're like, man, what else

367
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:10,319
rotten start? This is for the Musketeers. They've kind of

368
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:13,119
turned it around, you know, and they turned around. They've

369
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,559
hit a lot oft they've been hitting a lot of

370
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,200
Now what scares me is they've hit ten or more

371
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:21,640
threes in three straight games. Okay, Cam, Matt can continue,

372
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,440
But you said something, Trig And it is I did

373
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960
a little research here while Rob was talking and it

374
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,359
is true Cincinnati's lost ten straight as the visitor in

375
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,640
this series. You would have to go back to two

376
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680
thousand and one to find the last time they won

377
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,119
as a visitor was their first time ever visiting the

378
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,039
Sintas Center.

379
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: So the question should I ask you a question? Does

380
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:50,680
anyone care though these days? Like? Does is that? Like

381
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:52,440
you know?

382
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, I mean, I mean, it's it's

383
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,119
it's I mean, not only are all the players obviously changed,

384
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,759
the coaching stabs change obviously, but you know, and you

385
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:03,480
know it's not like a long trip. Maybe it is

386
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:05,599
an anomaly. I guess. I mean, there's two ways to

387
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,559
look at I actually talked. I forget what trend it was.

388
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,960
I was, I was going back and forth with President

389
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,400
Jorn Area on their show a couple mondays ago about

390
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,960
some trend whether, okay, do you look at the you know,

391
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,880
is this trend predictive or is it just an anomaly?

392
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,359
So I don't know. I mean, I guess there's two

393
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,160
sides of that particular coin trigger. You can look at it.

394
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,440
You're like, well, like Cincinnati's eventually got to win as

395
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,079
a visitor, right, But I just Exavier's playing better ball.

396
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,640
Right now, Cincinnati was a little better than we expected

397
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,200
against Tarlatan, but I would lean towards the Xavier side

398
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,799
for sure. I think you could still you can probably

399
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,319
still get a pretty decent moneyline price on this, which

400
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,160
is why I may throw it in our parlay of

401
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:44,880
the day.

402
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: So, yes, Cincinnati gets no credit for what they did

403
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:53,759
on Tarletan. Tarlaton State was missing six players in that game.

404
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:58,000
The number moved like seven points, and Cincinnati still couldn't

405
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:00,960
cover the opener of eighteen and a half like that.

406
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:02,400
So if you don't get.

407
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: They got off to a terrible start, like it's almost

408
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,200
like they were like, oh, well, we can just show up,

409
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,400
you know, roll out the basketball and winning. Oh they

410
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,279
played really bad in the first half of memory serves

411
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,799
me correct.

412
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:15,039
Speaker 1: Tried to show up against Eastern Michigan and lost, right

413
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,799
and a loss. You said something that I very much

414
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:23,000
agree with. Richard Patino has tweaked some things, and I've

415
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,279
always thought he was an underrated coach. Obviously he still

416
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:30,319
gets you know, he's obviously he's Rick Patino's son. So

417
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,079
I feel like sometimes he maybe doesn't get the credit

418
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,599
he deserves because he's he's still in Dad's shadow a

419
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,599
little bit, but I mean he did tremendous things at

420
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:41,680
New Mexico where he you know from from how quickly

421
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,440
he took because if I remember correctly, he took over

422
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,599
a New Mexico team that that finished near the bottom

423
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:49,359
of the Mountain West in his first year. He didn't

424
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,119
inherit a ton of talent and within I think he

425
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,480
was only there for four years and they were like

426
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:58,599
a borderline like national power at least on the you know,

427
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,599
below the like top top teams last year. So I'm

428
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,359
kind of a believer in him. And you know, with

429
00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:07,839
the start that they got off to being so bad,

430
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,599
I feel like their market sort of rating is a

431
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,559
little out of whack, whereas Cincinnati they're just bad, Like

432
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:20,200
you can't play those games in succession Eastern Michigan Tarletan

433
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,880
and it's like, oh so now they're just gonna go

434
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,519
on the road and like magically get up and play

435
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:28,359
a great game against Xavier. I don't see that happening.

436
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:30,039
I like Xavier here too. VP.

437
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: You talk about trends being predictive, and you know, we

438
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:36,759
mentioned that Cincinnati hasn't won as the visitor in this

439
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,960
rivalry in well over twenty years, closer to twenty five

440
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,279
at this point. Well, you know, Xavier's won five to

441
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,039
the last six, nine to the last twelve, thirteen, the

442
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:47,799
last eighteen. But Cincinnati did win last year, So be

443
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,960
cognizant of that when you're talking about the history this

444
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:52,759
rivalry and trends.

445
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: So there you go, and real quick, guys, one thing

446
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,119
we didn't even mention, which you know probably adds I'm

447
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,319
gonna say it adds a little bit to the Xavier side.

448
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,799
It's Patino's first time in this game. I'll give you

449
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,079
a quote from Richard Patino, being the first time coach

450
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,279
in the Xavier Cincinnati rivalry. I understand the responsibility. I

451
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,640
understand how important it is to fans. I'll pour my

452
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,640
heart and soul to win that game every single year

453
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,160
because I know Xavier fans, this community, the alumni, former players,

454
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,400
coach is how important it is to them. It's just

455
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,559
an amazing rivalry that happens one time of year. Yeah,

456
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,240
it's like it's not exactly Ohio State Michigan football, but

457
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,240
it's important to walk in as a first time head coach.

458
00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:41,440
You win this game, that buys you a lot of time.

459
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,599
I would say, beating since he buys you a lot

460
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,359
of time as a first year head coach of Xavier.

461
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: It's your call, BP either either I'm doing it or

462
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,039
you're doing it. So if you've got other things that

463
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,519
you kind of like like, you.

464
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,559
Speaker 2: Can ask, because I'll wait. I'm not ready to commit yet,

465
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,960
so I'm gonna let's tease. Oh, you're gonna come to

466
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:01,559
me if you're not.

467
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not right now, because I don't want

468
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,720
to talk myself into something I like less. So I'm

469
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,640
going to put er money line in the parlay and

470
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,960
then I'm gonna let you uh you know. I mean,

471
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,440
I suppose we get to the end of the show

472
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,119
and I got something I like and you are like, yeah,

473
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,039
I just don't like anything else, then you can, you know,

474
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240
defer it back to me. But I've decided that Xavier

475
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:23,039
money line.

476
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: Needs just to be it needs to be in the

477
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,119
par Okay, there we go.

478
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: So I'm going to lock that in. What is the

479
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,079
have they taken money? I did see that tick up

480
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:31,799
a tiny bit.

481
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,319
Speaker 2: It did?

482
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,319
Speaker 1: It did? What we still like? Minus one twenty five?

483
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:36,480
What are we looking at?

484
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: Let me take let me take a look here, because

485
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,119
we're not that it really absolutely be minus minus one thirty.

486
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,319
You can get at a place and everyone can bet at.

487
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,240
Probably yeah, and it's it's limit you or not. I

488
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,720
don't know what we're allowed to say right now, to

489
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:51,279
be honest with you.

490
00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.

491
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: Don't want to get into trouble. I don't want to

492
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,200
get this this YouTube, good self and a book that

493
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,279
almost everyone can bet at. Sometimes they limit you to

494
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,160
five cents, but yeah, they have a spice.

495
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: And again it's going in a three team er, so

496
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,240
it's not the what.

497
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: You have one exactly minus one thirty and the three

498
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,400
team part the world.

499
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,079
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's go to Garth mac basketball.

500
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,319
He wants to talk some maction, so he's his thoughts

501
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720
on a team total under seventy and a half in

502
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:23,559
Saint Peter's tonight and I'll I'll loop Rob in here

503
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,799
because he's our totals guy. Uh this I believe this game?

504
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,519
Is that the Run Baby Run Arena in Uh yeah,

505
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,559
they've renamed it that. It's it's the Anatilly Center, but

506
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:36,720
a couple of years back when they did the renovations,

507
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,119
they decided to name it the Run Baby Run Arena.

508
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,519
I PP will have to do a deep I don't

509
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:47,799
have the story offhand, we'll have deep dive into that one.

510
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:52,400
So Saint Peter's has I think since we've got on

511
00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:55,559
this show taken quite a bit of money. Yeah, in

512
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,880
this in this game is at I'm now seeing because

513
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,759
I didn't even realize that, Yeah, this is this is

514
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,720
nine and a half or is that where this opened?

515
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:07,759
Did this open nine and a half? Maybe five and

516
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:10,519
a half is the Yeah, okay, I'm not okay that

517
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,279
that's fine. I'm not like completely crazy. I thought this

518
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,039
was six, which was which I didn't think much of

519
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,960
because it was right in line with my number. And

520
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,240
that's what I'm kind of looking at. Here's still very

521
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,559
old schools, still write a lot of stuff out. Yeah

522
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:28,240
I made the number six, it opened six, this being

523
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,279
bet up. I guess here's my thing with Canisius though,

524
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,079
Like let's say someone's out. There's no one really that's

525
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,519
good enough on that roster to justify like the next

526
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,480
guy up being like a three point move. So someone

527
00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:45,599
decided they liked Saint Peter's. I can't really disagree. This

528
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,480
is still a even though the Canisius maybe isn't as

529
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:50,160
bad as they were last year. This is still a

530
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:53,400
very bad team. Even though Saint Peter's doesn't have uh

531
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Shaheen Holloway as their head coach anymore, they still play slow.

532
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,720
But Sheer Mason will will you know, exhibit some of

533
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:04,119
those same qualities. So I guess let's specifically, I don't

534
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,279
have much of an opinion on the side. I think

535
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,440
that move is is a little bit much. If you

536
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:10,079
had to bet the side, I think I would punch

537
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,119
back a little bit and just take a nine and

538
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,519
a half.

539
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: Is no one been kidnapped? I mean that is that

540
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,799
is kind of a large line move on a game

541
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:19,119
like this.

542
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless unless like like this is a thing though

543
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,039
they have no one on the roster that's worth three points,

544
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480
So I was just based on that, I'd have to

545
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:30,480
take Keniesius plus nine and a half. But we're going

546
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,200
to focus on the total for garth Rob. These teams

547
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,160
don't inspire a ton of confidence offensively. Do you think

548
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,319
his under team total seventy and a half gets there

549
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,119
one way or the other?

550
00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: I mean for the last decade, maybe longer. If I'm

551
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:48,759
even involved in a Saint Peter's game, it's with an

552
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,519
under in some way shape or for it. They're just

553
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:55,119
the same version of Saint Pete almost every year, except

554
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,400
for the kind of the miracle run in the tournament

555
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,119
a few years back. But you know, when you just

556
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,400
start adding up handicapping angles that you use to play

557
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,640
totals the pace, like you mentioned that the opponent isn't

558
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,960
even going to push. The opponent really isn't even defensively

559
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,559
bad enough by results so far this season against slow

560
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,160
paced teams to indicate that Saint Pete could expose that,

561
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,519
exploit that and get to over seventy. Right, So even

562
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,359
if they're the favorite in the game by nine and

563
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,880
a half, they want to go slow, the other side

564
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,279
wants to go so it just has all the makings

565
00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:38,519
of like a sixty seven fifty two something like that.

566
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,039
Sixty seven typical Saint Pete. So I'm not betting the game,

567
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,559
but there's no way I'm going to argue garth off.

568
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,079
But seventy is seventy and a half is a large

569
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,720
number for Saint Pete in any year from I don't know,

570
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,119
two thousand and six. It's been a long time since

571
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,359
they were any good offensively, so I could see it.

572
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,319
I just didn't bet it when he said mac Ack,

573
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,279
I was praying that he was going to go to Fairfield, Manhattan,

574
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,319
where I could give him a little bit.

575
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: Of a people. Oh, we're going to go there because

576
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,759
I want to talk. Okay, yeah, yeah.

577
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,799
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Bright.

578
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: I have two things. Number One, Canisius is a bottom

579
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,960
fifteen the team in the country according to my Power ratings.

580
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,720
It's not good obviously, And I have answers did not

581
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,920
The incredible source stns Wikipedia dot com has answered our

582
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,559
questions why this is called the Run Baby Run Arena.

583
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,839
So the nineteen sixty seven nineteen Rob mentioned it's been

584
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:39,240
a while since Saint Peter's was known for offense. Well,

585
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:43,400
the nineteen sixty seven nineteen sixty eight team, their motto

586
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:47,720
was run, Baby Run. They were a Apparently I don't

587
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:50,400
I don't don't think Ken Palm has adjusted tempo going

588
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,880
back to sixty eight, But apparently Saint Peter's might have

589
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,359
ranked kind of high in that particular metric back then.

590
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,440
So that is why it is called the Run Baby

591
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,279
Run Arena. Parrel somebody from that team is on the

592
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:05,480
board of trustees and he said, by god, we're calling

593
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:09,200
this the run Baby Run Arena. And you know, who

594
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,359
are you to doubt a member of the nineteen sixty

595
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,119
seven sixty eight Saint Peter's Peacocks.

596
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:17,799
Speaker 3: You just shouldn't be able to change the name of

597
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,000
the arena to something like that unless you've just hired

598
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:23,720
like an if you've hired a NATO's assistant or somebody

599
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:27,319
or Reggie or somebody who's gonna come in and actually

600
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,440
make that name a real thing.

601
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: Game by game, it's still the Anatilly Center. But like,

602
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,440
I think they did one of those things where they're

603
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:40,880
like they just wanted a second name, so they're like

604
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,519
gonna call the arena portion that. I don't know. Well,

605
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:46,240
I'll tell you what's gonna happen first, so too, I

606
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:49,599
have two things before we move on. One. I actually

607
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,000
had to look up to see if that was like

608
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,400
a fictional number, because the more the more we talk

609
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,519
about this game, the more I can't believe that, like

610
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,519
Saint Peter's is going to have to score seventy one

611
00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:01,200
points to hit a team total over right here too,

612
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,240
this is gonna be this is gonna look like a

613
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,480
pickup game at the Y. It is going to be

614
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:10,359
atrocious basketball. Neither team can rebound two terrible offenses. The

615
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:13,519
only way that I think that Saint Peter sits their

616
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:16,000
team total over this this game goes over or they

617
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:19,160
cover that insane number nine and a half is if

618
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
this is such a foulfest that they're allowed to live

619
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,200
at the free throw line, because that's one thing they

620
00:30:24,279 --> 00:30:26,880
do well second in the country this year shooting free

621
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,640
throws as a team. Saint Peter's eighty one point six

622
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:33,519
percent as a team. That would if unless it's a

623
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,880
complete foul fest. Uh, it's it would be shocking that

624
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,119
this game gets out of the sixties one way or

625
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,480
the other, which which would have all your unders cashing

626
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,160
pretty much.

627
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,319
Speaker 3: Check the record, Shrew Garth, make sure you don't have

628
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,839
one of those whistle blowers on the court tonight.

629
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:55,359
Speaker 1: Great, great question right there. We You know I loved

630
00:30:55,359 --> 00:30:57,880
one that the conversation takes a turn into a deep

631
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,359
dive into macbasketball. That's I'm all about that. That's of

632
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,799
course you're really not. And you know what I'm gonna

633
00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:10,799
I'm gonna hijack the middle portion of the show. You

634
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:13,400
can keep firing in the chapel. Listen, it's Mac Friday.

635
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,079
I actually prepared for this already it's okay, I want

636
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:19,000
to talk about.

637
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,839
Speaker 2: It was well prepared for this.

638
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Rob Ving otzed one. So we're gonna go to rob

639
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:29,319
first Fairfield. That Dratty gym. That's another great little uh.

640
00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:32,039
They think they believe they still have the indoor track

641
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:36,039
around the around the court. Dratty Gymnasium probably one hundred

642
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:41,559
years old at this point. Uh. Manhattan hosting Fairfield. Very

643
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,759
interesting game. I want to get Rob's take first here

644
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:44,240
on this one.

645
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and real quick. I could not get to the

646
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,960
gym last week. And remember I was going to be

647
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,359
in Connecticut and you were offering me a heck of

648
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,440
the fifty dollars meal that I was going to get

649
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:54,799
over there.

650
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: It was outsta Fairfield that I just spread out. Yeah

651
00:31:57,359 --> 00:31:58,279
they yeah great.

652
00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:03,359
Speaker 3: And I watched the you know, I was in Stratford,

653
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,000
which is a stone's throw from Fairfield. But Columbia couldn't

654
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:09,680
miss that night. Wow, Columbia racked up one hundred and

655
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,839
six points. I actually had a play client play on

656
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,839
the total over it was almost too easy. I like

657
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,440
when they go that way, but I like the Fairfield

658
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:20,000
side here in this game. We've seen a little bit

659
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:23,279
of a switch of favorites pick if you can even

660
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:26,319
call pick, I mean, but the Fairfield's now the universal

661
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,480
favorite of a point and a half. I guess Manhattan

662
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:31,160
did open one as I look here on the live

663
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,160
on screen. A few reasons here, guys, Manhattan, and I

664
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,000
know that they've played some teams where numbers can get skewed,

665
00:32:41,119 --> 00:32:43,799
right when you play usc, when you play Hawaii, when

666
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:46,279
you play A and M, sometimes your stats can get skewed.

667
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,119
But they played enough garbage on this schedule for me

668
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,079
to actually put some bit of credence into their numbers.

669
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,440
Dead last in the NCAA Division one in three point

670
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,720
percentage allowed, three hundred and fifty two in defensive rebounding.

671
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:04,359
Take that a step further, because generally when you don't

672
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,599
defensive rebound, it leads to second chance points for the

673
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,960
other side. They get the rebound, they get a chance

674
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,240
at a stick back or whatever. Manhattan's allowed the tenth

675
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,200
most per game second chance points of Division one teams.

676
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,960
Fairfield's got an opportunity there. They're number three, fifty eight

677
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:25,359
in points allowed per one hundred possessions. Manhattan is just

678
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,839
a hideous, hideous defensive basketball team at this point in time,

679
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,960
double hideous, right, not just one, but we'll double up

680
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,880
on that. It's a bad basketball team on the defensive end. Now,

681
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,039
they do shoot threes pretty well on the offensive end,

682
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:41,319
and maybe they'll light up Fairfield that direction. But I

683
00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:44,359
don't think they can do enough here. Fairfield, actually, guys,

684
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,839
schedule wise, you know, haven't been bad. They lost to

685
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880
who they're supposed to lose to, but they've beaten who

686
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,400
they're supposed to be. And all these teams, let's use

687
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,160
our favorite phrase here again, weight class. All the teams

688
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,759
that are in Manhattan's weight class that Field has played,

689
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:02,720
and there's been a half a dozen of them. Beat

690
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:06,160
them all, beat in j T, beat Stonehill, beat Loyal

691
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,400
and Maryland beat Lemoine, beat New Hampshire, you know, and

692
00:34:09,519 --> 00:34:12,119
then of course Columbia with that offense whack them. Seaton

693
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,360
Hall defended them to death eighty two fifty nine, and

694
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,559
Penn State they only lost by eight in that game.

695
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:20,719
To me, the body of work right here for Fairfield

696
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,159
has been far better. I just you know, the Columbia game, guys,

697
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,920
was such a mirage. I think Columbia overall in that

698
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:31,880
game was forty for sixty four from the field. Real

699
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,079
hard to do forty of sixty four. Sometimes in practice

700
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:38,360
you can't hit that. I don't think Manhattan hits that here.

701
00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:41,639
They're really a one trick pony, a three point shooting team.

702
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,679
They've lost the bad teams here this year. I'd like

703
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,719
at this price tag, Adam, I mean, this could be

704
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,519
my leg of the parlor. I'll think it through and

705
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,199
maybe we throw them money line in here too. But

706
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Fairfield minus one and a half. I agree with the

707
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:54,960
line move.

708
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 2: I kind of like the under here. I rob's points

709
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,119
while taken about Manhattan being a hideous, hideous double, hideous

710
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,280
defensive team. But I mean, I believe they're last in

711
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,239
the country in three point percentage allowed. The teams are

712
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,920
hitting over I think close to forty three percent from

713
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,360
behind the arc. That can't can it. I mean, like,

714
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:23,320
even if you're just leaving your opponent wide open, like you're,

715
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,599
they're not gonna hit forty three percent against you for

716
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,199
and you're at home. Now, this is kind of a

717
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:34,280
It looks like the Unders taking some money too. I

718
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,960
don't know, this is a high total. We've talked about

719
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,480
how it's you know, it's hard for teams to get

720
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:41,599
to like one it's harder than you think for teams

721
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:43,559
to get to one forty one forty five. We're we're

722
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,360
talking about one fifty cent. I mean, are both these

723
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,960
teams gonna score eighty points? I guess it could happen, But.

724
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:54,639
Speaker 1: I got here that I want to get out that

725
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,199
I'm trying. I'm going to try to do it in

726
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,119
a very short period of time, because I know people

727
00:35:58,159 --> 00:35:59,960
want to talk about other games. But you talked about

728
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:04,760
under Army hit like fifteen threes against Manhattan over the

729
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,920
week and it cost me. It was another on a

730
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,760
string of just inexplicable results. Army is one of the

731
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,159
worst shooting teams in the country. They were getting roles

732
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,760
like like you read about. I mean, it was just

733
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,480
I didn't even think the defense was like like insanely bad.

734
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:26,039
I think Manhattan's just had some really, really terrible three

735
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:29,280
point luck go against them this year. Another game I'll

736
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,320
point to that they played was Wagner, like another bad

737
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,440
team just hitting Prayer's kid was kid pulled up from

738
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,239
the parking lot. I mean, it was just like to

739
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,559
tie the game, They've they've run into some really bad luck.

740
00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:44,840
Now I'm actually would be against rob in the respect that, Like,

741
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:47,599
I really want to make a case for Manhattan, but

742
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,840
I have to at least acknowledge the fact that I

743
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,400
don't truly know. I haven't really truly figured out how

744
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,159
to price this team without Will sid Nor. Okay, so

745
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,360
Manhattan has missed Manhattan's not only is he their best player,

746
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:02,519
he is one of the best players in the conference.

747
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:05,119
He's on a very short list to be MAC Player

748
00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:07,920
of the Year this year, and he is was deemed

749
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,199
ineligible like right before the season for something that they're

750
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,599
looking into investigating, so on and so forth. So it's

751
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:16,840
gonna be one of those things where like one day

752
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,880
he's just gonna pop up and they're gonna be like, yeah,

753
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:21,519
you know how the NCAA works, Like by the time

754
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,719
Linda in the front office gets around to it three

755
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,159
months later figuring out if you were eligible or not,

756
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,320
then they're like, yeah, okay, yeah, by the way, he

757
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480
can play. And then you'll just suddenly be like you'll

758
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:34,320
see like one minute before the game, oh, Sidnor's here tonight,

759
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:36,840
like right and then and then the line should move

760
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,320
six points based off that. So it's like kind of

761
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,119
been frustrating because Manhattan was a team I was so

762
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,760
high on coming into the season. With him, they're a

763
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,239
team that can contend in the MAC. Without him, they

764
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,320
can still score the basketball. I mean, they have Winston Dinkins.

765
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,159
They have a trio of guys that can really put

766
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:59,400
the ball in the hoop. Devin Dinkins, Jaden Winston can

767
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,320
both fill it up. And you know, you you if

768
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,159
you had put Signore on this team. They're blowing teams

769
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:07,920
like Fairfield out of the water. The problem is we

770
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,960
still don't know if he's playing. He hasn't played yet

771
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,320
this year, so he'd have to assume he's out. And

772
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,679
with him out, I mean, he really does lower the

773
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,000
profile of this team significantly. So it's like, I kind

774
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:21,960
of I want to come back with Manhattan here because

775
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,800
I feel like they were the better team against Army

776
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,440
and kind of got screwed screwed in that game. I just,

777
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:30,239
I just I haven't done it yet. And to Rob's point,

778
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,719
Fairfield has has played well in these types of games.

779
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,920
But as I see Fairfield take money, I think if

780
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920
this hit like two and I was going to catch

781
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,639
a bucket here at home with Manhattan, I'd have to

782
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,079
go the other way and take Manhattan. So that is

783
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:47,119
a by you, says Army has went from three fifty

784
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:50,039
four to two sixty seven and three point shooting since

785
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:53,079
that Manhattan game. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I haven't

786
00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:55,000
wanted to trash my house in a long time. I

787
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:56,719
almost did after that one. BP.

788
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,559
Speaker 2: You know the feeling, No, I know the feeling. Yeah,

789
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:03,960
I've been there before. To the person who asked, what

790
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:06,039
game are we talking about? Yes, it's that kind of show,

791
00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:07,960
folks that you can just wander in here and say,

792
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,800
what in the world are these guys, three guys talking about?

793
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,840
We go deeper, of course, guys, than probably any show

794
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,840
on the internet. On the daily college basketball card. So

it shows it from three different account. I don't know

802
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:35,760
how that works. I don't do the technical stuff behind

803
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,719
the scenes, guys, So I wasn't getting ordery with you

804
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,440
like I didn't want to tell you three different times

805
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,719
we're talking Fairfield, Manet.

806
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,639
Speaker 3: It just did that.

807
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: I don't know why it did that.

808
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: It's it's connected to all of the wager Talk accounts,

809
00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:53,239
so post to comments it comes from like all of them. Yeah, okay,

810
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,119
yeah you should have You should have seen Tokyo Brandon

811
00:39:57,199 --> 00:39:59,960
trying to have conversations with people during the Baseball Show

812
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,679
and he's like having like a full blown conversation and

813
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,079
it's like four accounts. Every time he typed something in chat.

814
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,280
You have to take his chat privileges away. But that's

815
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:13,679
neither here or there. Yeah, Manhattan, Fairfield, the Max crazy Man.

816
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,920
There's gonna be some wild results in this league. There

817
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,440
always is. I want to I want to get Rob

818
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:21,440
back in here, and I want to appease the folks

819
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,679
in the chat who are like, we need to talk

820
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:25,880
about a real game for a second. There's one that

821
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,880
I want to hit, uh that that we haven't talked

822
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,159
about yet, and it looks like the folks in the

823
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,039
chat want to see as well. It's TCU.

and we.

826
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:39,119
Speaker 1: Did Xavier Cincy, So you know, we we and then

827
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:41,079
we still have nineteen minutes of the show left, so

828
00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:46,440
we'll probably get to some others. Roby, Uh, TCU, Nordre Dame.

829
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:49,400
What do you make of TCU? They lose to New Orleans,

830
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,719
they come out, they beat Florida. Like, this team's all

831
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,920
over the place. Now they're a favorite. I don't know

832
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,840
if they should be this big of a favorite. But

833
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:01,840
talk to me, talk to me about horn Broggs, the Irish.

834
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:03,760
Do you have a play in this one?

835
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, go back even further, Adam, And now that's sixty

836
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:10,079
seven sixty three lost to Michigan.

837
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: Looks really really good.

838
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:13,199
Speaker 2: The way Michigans play.

839
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I forget which game it was.

840
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:18,400
It may have been the Florida game, and or maybe

841
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,559
it was the Mischigan. It probably was the Michigan game

842
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:24,480
where I texted you and said, Jamie Dixon had a

843
00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:27,719
game plan to stop these guys, and they executed it defensively.

844
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,199
They were outstanding that night around the perimeter. Michigan's got

845
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,280
bigs that can hurt you, TCU. It handled that. I

846
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,199
would love to get the TCU in this.

847
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: Game, but the price drives me away. I just don't know.

848
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:43,599
Speaker 3: If I want to trust them to cover seven points,

849
00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:46,960
I still might, but it's a pretty sizable number here.

850
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:50,440
Notre Dame's been through a couple of pretty pretty good

851
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:52,639
battles as well. I mean, when you play Houston the

852
00:41:52,679 --> 00:41:55,280
way they played them, and they snuck in under the

853
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,079
number at the end of that game, I think Houston

854
00:41:57,199 --> 00:41:58,679
was like ten and a half. They went by ten,

855
00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:01,840
or maybe Houston was a eleven. But Notre Dame actually

856
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,280
played them really, really well. That's a probably as good

857
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,079
a defensive team as you'll find in the nation. So

858
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,960
TCUs defense might not bother them. Played Kansas pretty well,

859
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:15,199
played Ohio State really well, so I kind of find

860
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,079
Notre Dame a tough team to give seven and a

861
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:20,000
half points too. So I diverted my attention to the total,

862
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,599
thinking maybe we can find our way to one hundred

863
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,679
and forty points here. And I still believe that maybe

864
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,480
we can in this game. As much as I talk

865
00:42:29,519 --> 00:42:33,519
about TCU and how impressed I was with the defense

866
00:42:33,559 --> 00:42:38,159
against Michigan, I still think that there's upside to this offense,

867
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,320
to tell you the truth. Now, they just come off

868
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,559
of a win against Wisconsin. They get the seventy four

869
00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,599
points Wisconsin is not your dad's Wisconsin that plays fifty

870
00:42:45,639 --> 00:42:49,400
eight to fifty six games, but they're also not greyhound pace,

871
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,719
and so to get to seventy four in that ands

872
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,719
to get to one thirty seven with Wisconsin. I think

873
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,519
it's doable to get to one forty here with Notre

874
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:03,760
Dame Micah Shrewsbury. You know, it doesn't like to use

875
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,599
a lot of pace either, more efficiency over pace, let's

876
00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:10,320
put it that way. And they played Missouri really well

877
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:12,639
the other night, right, they get to one forty seven

878
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:15,400
with Missouri. So for me, I'm still looking at it.

879
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,719
I think I might get to a place where I

880
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,320
played the over in this game, but there's not a

881
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,760
lot of wiggle room. I'll say that too. It's not

882
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,320
like I feel like this game is going to get

883
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,760
to one fifty. But they pay me the same for

884
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,920
one forty as they do for one fifty, So whether

885
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,519
I think it's gonna get there by half a point

886
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:33,480
or ten and a half points doesn't really matter. I

887
00:43:33,639 --> 00:43:35,400
just think this one thirty nine and a half number

888
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,800
is attackable here, and maybe we'll get to that.

889
00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:45,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I well go go ahead, BP, if you.

890
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,079
Speaker 2: Know I actually don't have anything on this game. I

891
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,760
but I am ready to lock in my parlay. Leg

892
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,039
all right, we go with this game.

893
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,679
Speaker 1: All right, I'll say a few words about tc and

894
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,880
Notre Dame and then we'll go to you for the parlay.

895
00:43:56,639 --> 00:44:00,199
I felt like the number was big. I you know,

896
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,599
Notre game is like, I think I'm a little bit

897
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:07,000
higher on them than maybe the market. I saw this

898
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,559
and I just want to make sure that I'm look yeah, yeah,

899
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:12,159
I mean I saw this hit seven and a half.

900
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,800
Let me just pull up my believe my number was

901
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,239
quite a bit off of this and to the point

902
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,880
where I almost felt like I had to sort of

903
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,000
jump in just from a just from a numbers perspective. Yeah,

904
00:44:26,079 --> 00:44:29,000
I made this one four and a half, and I

905
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:33,119
think that that's probably where it should be. Now I

906
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,519
haven't played it yet, but again, Notre Dame they have

907
00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:39,679
scrappy guards. They can make a few shots. The thing

908
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,400
with TCU that they've really had that that's really sort

909
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,440
of propelled them in these games when they play up

910
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:49,360
is their guards are just they just harass your other

911
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:53,000
the guards right Like Florida, we've talked about their backcourt

912
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,119
and the struggles that their back court has had well,

913
00:44:55,519 --> 00:44:58,239
you know, TCU just was in their shorts the whole game,

914
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,199
and they couldn't handle the ball and they couldn't actually

915
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,639
couldn't get into their offense, and that's probably why TCU

916
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:07,960
won that game. I think Notre Dame maybe handles that

917
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:10,800
a little bit better and at least the point where

918
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,559
they'll handle it enough where TCU can't run away in

919
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:17,400
this game. So that's sort of what puts me toward

920
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,599
the Notre Dame side. It is on my seven and

921
00:45:19,639 --> 00:45:21,679
a half, I think is a decent bet from a

922
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,880
numbers perspective. I'm gonna have to like sort of think

923
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,039
about that one throughout the day see if it continues

924
00:45:28,119 --> 00:45:30,559
to move. But I wouldn't lay said I think seven

925
00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:32,320
and a half you're laying way too much of a

926
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,360
premium on TCU. I think that would be a bad

927
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,760
bet from a numbers standpoint. So it's gonna be irish

928
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,920
or pass for me. Okay, VP, the floor is yours.

929
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,079
What are we putting in the parlor?

930
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: Let's go late night degenerate special. Let's take the points

931
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,519
with San Diego against San Jose State. San Jose State

932
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,880
profiles as a terrible favorite. Wellh I the San Jose

933
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:56,199
State profile is a terrible favorite. You mask, well, there's

934
00:45:56,199 --> 00:45:59,440
two reasons I'm gonna give you. Number one. They stick defensively,

935
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,599
teams are making and teams are shooting inside the arc.

936
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,239
And if you if you have a bad two point

937
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,760
percentage defense, guys, I think you would agree that tends

938
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,920
to be less fixable than three point. Three point defense

939
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,280
can be very variable game to game two point. If

940
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,360
you're bad at defending inside the arc, it means you're

941
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,360
a bad defensive team. Okay, San Jose State bad defensive team.

942
00:46:21,559 --> 00:46:24,599
They also don't play very fast ad justin tempo. San

943
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,840
Jose State three hundred and forty fifth in the country.

944
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:32,519
That's bottom twenty one. You're not good defensively, you don't

945
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:35,960
play fast. How are you gonna win by margin this

946
00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:40,039
number against the San Diego Torero's it's gotten up to

947
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:43,880
seven and a half. Let go with the Torero's plus

948
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,239
seven and a half here to stay with them, tom As,

949
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,679
this is a five point game. I would concur with that.

950
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: I was on San Diego last week at some one

951
00:46:58,119 --> 00:47:02,159
point and they so on paper. They ended up losing

952
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:08,199
to cal Baptist by fifteen. They had a generational scoring

953
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,360
drought in the second half of that game, where like

954
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:15,960
that was a for for twenty eight minutes. That was

955
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,360
a very very competitive basketball game. You would not have

956
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,639
been able to decide for who is the better.

957
00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:23,559
Speaker 2: Team And cow Baptist isn't bad.

958
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,559
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Like we talked about cal Baptist

959
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:29,679
a bunch on this show, like and then they went

960
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:33,000
literally I'm telling you, they didn't make a shot for

961
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,840
for nine minutes, Like it was just like out of nowhere,

962
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:38,760
could not buy a shot and turned what was and

963
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,440
I think they were And the reason I bring it

964
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:42,400
up for two reasons. One, they were right in this

965
00:47:42,599 --> 00:47:44,920
price range, like I think they were plus eight and

966
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,039
a half here, you're getting plus seven and a half.

967
00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:49,760
That was the line, right VP seven and a half

968
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,480
for San Diego.

969
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 2: Let me just double check there against Well, yeah, I

970
00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:56,440
just got to keep keep going, keep going. I'll just

971
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,440
hold on one second. San Diego closed plus eight against

972
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,079
cal Baptist.

973
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so, and that's basically what you're you're catching here,

974
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,760
you know with San Diego in this game. Point is

975
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,159
like I mean, if you take that nine minutes out,

976
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:13,159
which to me was was very much an aberration. Also,

977
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,800
these MTES they were in, like they were somewhere in

978
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,159
California playing on a neutral Courts Springs probably. Yeah, Like

979
00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:25,800
I don't like these MTE type tournaments for like true

980
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,400
evaluations of of what a team is or like these

981
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,039
neutral court games. So even though they didn't have to

982
00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:34,199
play back to back games in that in that one

983
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,079
it was just like a one off on a neutral

984
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,400
I still like, you know, it is what it is, right, Like,

985
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,840
this is a team that beat an Idaho team that

986
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,800
I think is a lot better than than people are

987
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,840
giving them credit for. Uh, last time out they went

988
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,039
to Long Beach State, you know, lost but lost a

989
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:52,280
competitive game VP. I don't think it's out of the

990
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,679
out of the realm of possibility that uh San Diego

991
00:48:56,039 --> 00:48:59,599
Steve Lavin I believe still their head coach is competitive

992
00:48:59,639 --> 00:49:02,639
here and that's all you need. Competitive got inside seven

993
00:49:02,679 --> 00:49:03,000
and a half.

994
00:49:03,039 --> 00:49:05,039
Speaker 2: Glad they got them out of the booth. Yeah. San

995
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:08,519
Diego was up by nine in the second half of

996
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:12,320
that game against cal Baptist and then they they went

997
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,599
I've got the play by play. They were at fifty

998
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:17,800
one at fourteen nineteen left in the game. They were

999
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,639
still at fifty one at eleven eighteen, and they were

1000
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,440
at fifty three at ninety under nine minutes they were

1001
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,880
they scored three points in a six minute stretch. They

1002
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,360
scored sit Oh my god, have me.

1003
00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:35,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, please please don't re I don't want to

1004
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:37,920
relive that. So yeah, yeah, it was it was Herri.

1005
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:39,159
It was they did.

1006
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,039
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how long were they stuck on fifty seven?

1007
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:42,840
What is this?

1008
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:47,119
Speaker 1: Nine minutes? One of the what I et i ate sixteen?

1009
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: They got to fifty seven. They didn't get to fifty

1010
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,480
eight until one thirty one left in the game, and

1011
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:55,199
they were so so fourteen percent from three in that

1012
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:55,840
game as well.

1013
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes, So when you talk about a deceit box score,

1014
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,039
a nine point lead on cal bap just turned into

1015
00:50:03,079 --> 00:50:06,920
a fifteen point loss. It was just like, how do

1016
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,880
you even write? Like, how do you even do that?

1017
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:09,800
I'm sorry?

1018
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah's with the with the screen trader, I'll put it back.

1019
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that's okay. Well, let's we're gonna move out.

1020
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,760
So what we'll do? We got ten minutes left. Jose

1021
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,199
Perez asked a question about Brown Bryant. So let's talk

1022
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,159
about this game and then we'll go to Rob for

1023
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,920
his parlay leg. I'll give him a little bit of

1024
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,480
a heads up so he kind of get it, gets

1025
00:50:26,519 --> 00:50:28,679
his thoughts together. But I do want to bring him

1026
00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:31,159
in on Brown Bryant because I have a sort of

1027
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,960
total spin on this one, and I always like to

1028
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,400
get his opinion on total. So BP, you'll remember I

1029
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,960
went to this game two years ago, this exact game,

1030
00:50:40,039 --> 00:50:42,320
this exact weekend, and then I came and met you

1031
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,880
at the sports book in Boston after the game. So

1032
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,800
this is so, this is Bryant and Brown. This is

1033
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:48,920
a rivalry they played this.

1034
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: We're a very perplexed why you were going to this game.

1035
00:50:52,639 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: I got I had to get listen. I can't justify

1036
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,760
leaving the house and coming all the way to Boston

1037
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,079
if I'm not getting a game or two. And I

1038
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:02,360
went to Northeastern next day. If you remember, I missed dinner,

1039
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:09,320
miss dinner to go watch Northeastern. But anyway, yeah, it

1040
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,800
is a So this is a rivalry game they played

1041
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,480
every year. It's typically a battle. It's been close the

1042
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:17,800
last couple of years. The reason I want to bring

1043
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,800
Robin here is this is getting bet up on the

1044
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,480
total and a half. Yet I've watched a lot of

1045
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:28,320
these two teams play so far this year, and none

1046
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,480
of it has been esthetically pleasing. Now you can talk

1047
00:51:30,519 --> 00:51:33,360
about Brown and say, well they've been without lesbert Land

1048
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,880
and Lewis just came back. They were really down two

1049
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,760
starters for like three or four games to start the season.

1050
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,039
Bryant is a year one for Jamie on Christian. I

1051
00:51:43,159 --> 00:51:47,239
remember Jamie on Christian because he came in one year

1052
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,039
at Sienna, had a good year, and then took off

1053
00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:53,800
went to George Washington for a couple of years. But

1054
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,639
to Jamie on Christian's credit, I got to always have

1055
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,480
a warm spot in the heart for Jamie Christian because

1056
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,360
he gave us Jalen Pickett and let him stay for

1057
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,559
a couple of years. So that was a Jamian Christian recruit.

1058
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,639
He is a good recruiter, and I do think he's

1059
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,400
like gonna put together team at Bryant at some point.

1060
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:13,760
But this team has no clue how to function yet,

1061
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:17,239
Like they really just don't know how to like function offensively.

1062
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,119
It's a it's a total mess, very similar to like

1063
00:52:21,199 --> 00:52:23,079
the year he was at Sienna. It took him a

1064
00:52:23,159 --> 00:52:25,480
while to sort of figure out, hey, let's just play

1065
00:52:25,519 --> 00:52:28,880
super slow. Let's let let let j Let's let Jalen

1066
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,039
Picket walk the ball up the court and then just

1067
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:33,840
iso him and kind of make a play. The reason

1068
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,679
I reason I say that is one seven up to

1069
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,440
one thirty and a half is the wrong move in

1070
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,679
my opinion, that should be moving the other way. These

1071
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,280
two teams are both horrific offensively right now, and Brown

1072
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,440
is still arguably missing their their best offensive player or

1073
00:52:50,519 --> 00:52:53,760
one of their best offensive players. So Rob, like, what

1074
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,559
do you make of that move? Any reason that it

1075
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:56,840
should be going toward the over?

1076
00:52:58,559 --> 00:53:01,039
Speaker 3: Well, I had thought that Lewis was gonna play tonight,

1077
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:02,000
and that's.

1078
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,639
Speaker 1: Probably Lewis is playing. They've been without Lesberg. Lesbert's the

1079
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:07,360
guy that hasn't stopped on the floor yet this year.

1080
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:08,519
Lewis is bad.

1081
00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:12,679
Speaker 3: And so let me just describe it to you from

1082
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,480
the way I would think it out, Adam. The first

1083
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:16,599
problem with Bryant for me is you go from Phil

1084
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:20,119
Martelli to Jamie on Christians. So right away you're putting

1085
00:53:20,199 --> 00:53:23,000
square peg in a round hole. You're taking all the

1086
00:53:23,079 --> 00:53:26,119
people that all the players that were there and either

1087
00:53:26,199 --> 00:53:28,360
running them off and bringing new guys in. But you're

1088
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,920
changing the entire system, right, Christian is just known for

1089
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,679
being slow paced. Martelli the exact opposite. You're not picking

1090
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,760
people up three quarter court, you're not putting, applying any pressure,

1091
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,079
et cetera, et cetera. You're not run grabbing a defensive

1092
00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:42,519
rebound of running the other way. So from that perspective,

1093
00:53:42,599 --> 00:53:45,559
the first year is going to be bad offensively in

1094
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:48,239
my mind right away, and it shows out in Bryant's results.

1095
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,280
Actually they just haven't been there. You described how ineffective

1096
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,199
their offense has been. On the other side, the Brown side,

1097
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,280
unlike some previous versions that were high scoring, it's not

1098
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,039
the same with Brown either. They're kind of slow tempo

1099
00:54:03,079 --> 00:54:09,159
as well. Combine those two slow tempo Bryant extreme three

1100
00:54:09,199 --> 00:54:12,039
hundred and sixty degree change of systems, and then add

1101
00:54:12,119 --> 00:54:16,079
to it rivalry intensity, which in my mind usually is

1102
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:21,079
on the defensive end in rivalry games. Defensive intensity, I

1103
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,119
can't see I could see a case for Bryant team

1104
00:54:24,199 --> 00:54:26,719
total under tell you the truth sixty two and a

1105
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,840
half and I can't really see a case to buy

1106
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:34,199
into over again, the line moves are crazy based on

1107
00:54:35,159 --> 00:54:39,559
a lot of you know, just play a personnel on

1108
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,840
or off the floor. I don't know, Adam, I would

1109
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,760
be with you. I would play under. I also think you.

1110
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,119
Speaker 1: Could get the Bryant under in that game. Tell you

1111
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:51,239
the truth. Yeah, to Jose's actual question, like he's like, no,

1112
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,519
one's really betting Brown. I kind of like Brown. There

1113
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:55,679
was a point in time where Brown actually dipped to

1114
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,679
minus four and a half and I said that might

1115
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,880
be a reasonable bet. Now it's up to six and

1116
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,679
a half, which I do agree with the move because

1117
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:07,280
I think Brown is a little bit undervalued from like

1118
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,639
a statistical profile, because they have they they were without

1119
00:55:10,639 --> 00:55:12,719
a couple of their their top players. But then the

1120
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,760
other side of the argument is this was a team

1121
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,400
that heavily relied on Keno Lilly last year for a

1122
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,800
lot of what they did offensively. It was one of

1123
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,440
the best players in the IVY. He's obviously now gone.

1124
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,679
So I just don't know if you could get you

1125
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,760
could if I could comfortably lay six and a half

1126
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,000
in a game that, like the local fans do care

1127
00:55:31,039 --> 00:55:33,960
about that. That was an awesome environment at Brown two

1128
00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:35,840
years ago for that game when I when I went,

1129
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,079
and I'm sure it will be again tonight. So I

1130
00:55:39,159 --> 00:55:41,760
think I would just have to lean like punch back

1131
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:44,880
against the market on the total, because nothing I've seen

1132
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,840
from these two teams suggests that this is going to

1133
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,079
be a high scoring game. So so a lean toward

1134
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,760
lean toward Brown, lean toward under for me and Rob,

1135
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,440
I'll kick it back to you to close this parlay out.

1136
00:55:54,599 --> 00:55:55,320
What are you looking at?

1137
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 3: Well, let's close it out with a total, because that's

1138
00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:01,519
generally how we up here on this show. I'll close

1139
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:05,840
things out with a total the Samford VCU game, guys

1140
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,119
sitting at one fifty one fifty and a half. Two

1141
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:12,559
options here for me. We're either to play VCU team

1142
00:56:12,639 --> 00:56:14,480
total over eighty four and a half or play this

1143
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:16,239
full game over one fifty and a half. And I

1144
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,880
think I'll go with the full game over one fifty

1145
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,880
and a half. Ay Martelli's not a guy to let

1146
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,119
off the gas at the end of a game today.

1147
00:56:25,199 --> 00:56:27,880
That truth, they'll keep scoring. So I like that from

1148
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,960
that perspective. But six of the eight VCU games this

1149
00:56:32,159 --> 00:56:35,679
season have all gotten to one fifty one or better.

1150
00:56:36,519 --> 00:56:39,199
Six of the nine Samford games have all gotten to

1151
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,400
one fifty one or better, So combined, that's twelve of

1152
00:56:42,519 --> 00:56:45,559
seventeen real high percentage of these teams playing into the

1153
00:56:45,639 --> 00:56:51,280
one fifties VCU. When given a team like this can

1154
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,320
push the gas and get into the eighties. The reason

1155
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,079
why I didn't play them to get to eighty five

1156
00:56:57,199 --> 00:56:59,440
is that there's been some instances here where Samford has

1157
00:56:59,559 --> 00:57:02,719
not a loud a real good opponent to get to

1158
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,199
eighty five, mostly based on tempo guys. You know Lenny

1159
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,400
Acuff real quick, I'll just go back to having been

1160
00:57:09,519 --> 00:57:11,760
you know, I'm a Belmont guy. Belmont Lipscomb is a

1161
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:16,039
big rivalry, but with Lipscomb it was way more offensive

1162
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:19,519
efficiency than it was tempo. They could in conference place

1163
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:22,119
sometimes they would up to tempo, but they're really usually

1164
00:57:22,199 --> 00:57:25,880
good offensive efficiency team hasn't quite happened in the numbers

1165
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,239
yet this season. I think that's due to non conference scheduling.

1166
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,079
But here they're off a really, really bad offensive performance

1167
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:37,159
against Utah Valley. Utah Valley crushed them. I think they

1168
00:57:37,239 --> 00:57:40,000
only scored. They didn't even get the fifty. So I'm

1169
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,760
a big bounce back guy. If you're a decent offensive team,

1170
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,039
you probably get into the mid sixties here because there's

1171
00:57:45,039 --> 00:57:49,079
going to be enough opportunity. One last thing is that

1172
00:57:50,239 --> 00:57:52,599
they don't turn the ball over very much. But I

1173
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:57,360
when going through their schedule and the opposing defenses, there's

1174
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,679
not a lot of pressure style teams like you on

1175
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,840
their schedule yet, So I think VC is going to

1176
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,199
get some cheap points here. To me, it all adds

1177
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,320
up to a game that Lands won fifty four better.

1178
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,400
So give me over one fifty and a half in

1179
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,920
the Stamford VCU game.

1180
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:21,039
Speaker 1: Up. He's muted. He's muted over one fifty and a

1181
00:58:21,079 --> 00:58:24,559
half in that game. That's a full game total. That'll

1182
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:28,559
close out our parlay. We still, I'm gonna just I

1183
00:58:28,639 --> 00:58:31,199
got to bring this up real quick. So a couple

1184
00:58:31,239 --> 00:58:36,559
of people asking about Sianna Niagara. Terrible tragedy for Sianna

1185
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:41,199
this week with the Liam Gleeson, who's been the lacrosse coach.

1186
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,119
That's well, I believe his first year as an assistant

1187
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,199
was my senior year back in two thousand and eight.

1188
00:58:46,519 --> 00:58:48,679
He went over to coach Albany for a couple of years.

1189
00:58:49,079 --> 00:58:51,559
He's been back and he's totally turning the Sana lacrosse

1190
00:58:51,719 --> 00:58:56,159
team around. Passed away earlier this week, h terrible fell

1191
00:58:56,239 --> 00:58:59,480
at his home, forty one years old, three daughters like

1192
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,920
all accounts, the nicest guy. It's just been like an

1193
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,400
awful week because of that. So macnamara shared, like his

1194
00:59:08,519 --> 00:59:11,679
office is right next door, but like listen, like we

1195
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,280
you know, it's it's partinent information. Sienna plays at home tonight.

1196
00:59:16,039 --> 00:59:19,719
They're a They opened fourteen against Niagara, which is my number.

1197
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:23,960
Who was right on the number. It's possible that people's

1198
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,639
minds are elsewhere then on basketball for Sienna now could

1199
00:59:28,719 --> 00:59:30,920
go one of two ways. They could show up and

1200
00:59:31,239 --> 00:59:33,440
want to light up Niagara, who's got as bad of

1201
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,519
a team as they've had in my opinion in the

1202
00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:38,679
Greg Paulis era. But one thing about Paulus is he's

1203
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:41,400
a game planner. He's a scrapper and if like you're

1204
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,320
not totally ready to play, he's gonna hang around. He

1205
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,800
always does that. So terrible situation by all accounts. Liam

1206
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,840
Gleeson was a great person and just a tragic thing

1207
00:59:53,039 --> 00:59:55,599
to happen there, But we got a game to play.

1208
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,159
That game is being played and it's it's info. You

1209
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,079
come here for info. So I don't have an opinion

1210
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,800
on the game. Like I said, my number came out

1211
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,760
right on there, but it was worth pointing out on

1212
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:11,320
the show. All right, we're going to close it right

1213
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:17,320
there and just gonna put in. So I'll throw minus

1214
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,199
one thirty for the parlay for Xavier. I think that's fair.

1215
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,480
I don't know why this this calculator is not working VP. Oh,

1216
01:00:27,719 --> 01:00:30,719
let's see presto. Okay, there we go. It's going to

1217
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,000
be plus five forty four. So your your three team

1218
01:00:34,079 --> 01:00:38,800
parlay today is going to be Xavier on the money line,

1219
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,440
which bp CO signed on. So I'm excited about that.

1220
01:00:41,599 --> 01:00:45,000
He's Xavier on the money line minus one thirty. Brian

1221
01:00:45,039 --> 01:00:48,639
Power is going with the San Diego Torrero's plus seven

1222
01:00:48,679 --> 01:00:51,719
and a half out West tonight at San Jose State,

1223
01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:56,280
and Rob's gonna go with a full game over Samford

1224
01:00:56,559 --> 01:01:00,440
BCU over one fifty and a half. We are back

1225
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,960
ahead on the parlay plus three point two to two units,

1226
01:01:03,119 --> 01:01:06,039
or up three dollars and twenty two cents for every

1227
01:01:06,119 --> 01:01:09,079
dollar if you were playing these equally. We hope to

1228
01:01:09,119 --> 01:01:12,239
add some more tonight, but at worst, boys, we're ending

1229
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,519
the week positive no matter what happens here. But I

1230
01:01:15,599 --> 01:01:17,320
really would like to get another one. So we show

1231
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,280
up Monday morning with a nice cushion going into next week.

1232
01:01:20,639 --> 01:01:23,760
If you're looking for more plays, we really should point

1233
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,960
this out. We have a great weekend special. You get

1234
01:01:26,039 --> 01:01:29,800
all three of us for one price. And I saw

1235
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,320
people in there asking about Saturday games. I mean, between

1236
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,480
the three of us on a slate like tomorrow, you're

1237
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,440
probably going to get more opinions than you would get

1238
01:01:37,519 --> 01:01:40,320
on the show. You know, between the three of us

1239
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:45,119
all playing different games on tomorrow's slate, Tonight's are really

1240
01:01:45,239 --> 01:01:47,840
free that that package was always supposed to be a

1241
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,599
Saturday Sunday thing because obviously we do the show on

1242
01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:53,920
Friday and BP we're just we're so generous, we're like

1243
01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:56,599
throwing Friday as well, Yes, throwing Friday as well.

1244
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: And that's three days. Trig self rob seventy nine dollars

1245
01:02:02,039 --> 01:02:03,960
all of our college basketball players for the next three days.

1246
01:02:05,679 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 3: And I'll just add real quick, guys, I don't know

1247
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,400
about you, Brian, but with them with the college football

1248
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:15,159
season this weekend being dwindled down to nine conference championship

1249
01:02:15,239 --> 01:02:18,000
games other than the sixty five to sixty eight game schedule,

1250
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,280
more college basketball will be on my Saturday card. Obviously,

1251
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,559
with the lack of CFB being played this week, and

1252
01:02:25,639 --> 01:02:27,320
so you get a little more time you could dive

1253
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:28,639
into that huge Saturday card.

1254
01:02:29,639 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, boys, another great week of shows. Appreciate

1255
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,360
