It's floating, right?
My three

Stoy Hall (01:02):
from last week.
And we'll walk through why youhave three.
Really, just really just onemistake.

Cole Ingle (01:09):
I mean, you also made a mistake and you're not
getting penalized for it, so

Stoy Hall (01:12):
it's a withdrawal.
He withdrew before the cut line.

Cole Ingle (01:16):
You withdrew before he got cut.
He

Stoy Hall (01:18):
withdrew before even the second round.

Cole Ingle (01:20):
He was under the, the cut line when he withdrew.
He withdrew before

Stoy Hall (01:24):
the second round.

Cole Ingle (01:26):
No, he was playing when he withdrew.
I thought he withdrew, withdrewearly.
Oh, I don't know.
I thought he was playing and notWell,

Stoy Hall (01:34):
no, I, and that, that's why I had it.
But I thought he withdrew earlyenough where like it's a
withdrawal, not a, a, a divefrom the cut line.
Well, what's, you know, let's,you know, let's look it up just
in case if he played in thesecond round.
A hundred percent agree.
All right.
If he withdrew before it.

Cole Ingle (01:55):
Okay, then, then here's what it's, then we're
making new rules.
That's fine.

Stoy Hall (01:58):
New rules.
I'm pretty sure

Cole Ingle (01:59):
it's same.
Always new rules.
Just one new rules.
Sure.
Oh my goodness.
See, I'm flustered God aboutthese new rules.
Flustered.

Stoy Hall (02:08):
Can't even find it.
Oh, but you can go ahead and,uh, well, I'm looking this up.
Go through, um, yeah.
The week and how

Cole Ingle (02:20):
it went and, all right.
Uh, players championship.
Um, course is beautiful asalways.
Um, and difficult, uh, threehole in ones.
Yeah.
Uh, a

Stoy Hall (02:32):
week actually.
There was a bet on, on FanDuel.
It was, uh, what was it?
What was it?
What was it?
Was was it was like, um, 50%boost for Yeah.
The hole in ones hole one.
And it happened and it happenedearly and Yeah.

Cole Ingle (02:47):
Within the first, like, I wanna say within the
first three hours of golf,

Stoy Hall (02:52):
Shortly before the start of the second round.
Ah, all

Cole Ingle (02:55):
right.
You should have seen the rangesession.

Stoy Hall (03:01):
I didn't.
No, I don't, I didn't mean Uh,yeah, but, so

Cole Ingle (03:06):
three hold ones, Alison.
Yeah, three hole ones.
Um, decent amount of chip endsand stuff like that.
Uh, golf overall was solid.
Not great, uh, except for oneperson.
Um, a little bit all over theboard.
Um, really everywhere else.
Uh, some of the top players werenon, non-existent,

(03:32):
non-competitive, uh, and thensome of'em kind of roast at the
top on Sunday.
Played well enough to, to getthemselves, uh, into some money.
And others, uh, Rory, here'slooking at you.
Um, missed the cut.
Missed a cut.
Uh, and not close.
I mean, he was three or fourshots off the cut, uh, cuz a
couple guys made the cut on thenumber and then played well on

(03:54):
the weekend, so, um, madethemselves some money.
Uh, Cheryl Hatton was thebiggest winner.
He ended up finishing t2, uh,with a 65 on Sunday, um, which
was a great round.
Impressive specific,specifically say, say that one
again on Sunday.
uh, when there wasn't nearly asmany low numbers out there.
Uh, so that was, uh, impressiveby him.

(04:15):
Made himself in nine holes.
He went from like 140,000 to2.1.
Yeah.
Uh, million.
Million, yeah.
Yeah.
So, uh, a good$2 millionincrease by shooting seven under
in the last nine holes.
Um, so that's a pretty goodfinish.
Yeah.
Uh, kudos to him.
Tom Hoy set the course record onSaturday with a 10 under, so he

(04:39):
went from two over, which wasthe cut line on Friday to, I
don't know if he finished top10, somewhere in there.
Um, but yeah, two eight under,um, going into Sunday, give
himself a chance.
So a couple of notable roundsthere.
T3.
Uh, t3.
So, um, got himself

Stoy Hall (04:58):
1.5

Cole Ingle (04:59):
mill.
Yeah.
So great.
Round 62.
The new courts record, uh, therefor the one and only Tom Hoy.
Um, a lot of those golf statsand course records, uh, are held
by guys of that ilk.
Yeah.
Uh, so it's just golf.
Uh, Potter got hot andeverything else was working for

(05:22):
him on Saturday.
Saturday was a the lowestscoring.
Oh man.
It was low round for players.
Unless you were more kawa whojust shit the bed on the
weekend.
Well, actually for three days,but

Stoy Hall (05:34):
I mean, he had one round, he came hot and.

Cole Ingle (05:36):
Not a bad weekend.
Just disappointing when you'rethe first strong leader.
Second place.
So I

Stoy Hall (05:42):
think, I mean, you're, you're, you're skipping
the person who came out aheadthe most for the week and that
was Jordan spe.
Why do you say that?
Because he was gonna miss thecut.
Well, do we have that, do wehave that as a Twitter

Cole Ingle (05:56):
thing?
Yeah, I'm sure that's a clip.
Um, off a kneecap.
We never did.
See I was kept tracking on theweekend.
Um, he got a flag.
Yeah.
And not enough, let's put itthat way.
Considering speed ended up

Stoy Hall (06:09):
with 275 K

Cole Ingle (06:10):
on the week, which was 270 thou,$5,000 more than he
would have had it not had, howthe guy's knee kneecap in, in
the way

Stoy Hall (06:17):
and we're not.
And for those that didn't seeit, and I really, I think we
have it, but um, it didn't justhit him.
Oh, it Rico ricochet to themiddle of

Cole Ingle (06:26):
the fairway.
Yeah, no, a ball that was forsure headed for the water for
spe to miss the cut.
Well, not necessarily miss thecut cuz the cut did finish it.
Plus two.
So if he somehow could have madepar, which would've been, uh, up
and down from the rough fromabout one 70, um, doable, then

(06:47):
he still would've made the cut.
Right.
But, um, he said himself in theinterview that he missed the
cut.
Most likely would've missed thecut.
Um, had that ball on his verylast hole on Friday.
Not, not redirected off of ahuman like 50 50.

Stoy Hall (07:02):
And the guy got a signed flag for all that we know
now, and they could have kept aprivate witch.
Right.

Cole Ingle (07:06):
Which would've been better probably, but

Stoy Hall (07:08):
probably.
But still, yeah.
Um, you give, you gotta give hima lot.

Cole Ingle (07:12):
Yeah.
Technically, I mean, that was, Iactually could kind of forgotten
about that, but, um, you know,buried the lead in all of it.
Ultimately Scotty Scheffler,number one player in the world,
um, you know, him and Rom havedominated events so far.
Hopefully a sign of things tocome here next month at Augusta.

(07:33):
Um, just really hoping for ashowdown between those two.
They, they've doled a littlebit, but for the most part it's
been one of them dominatingwhile the other one is.
Okay.
Shufflers actually been a littlebit more consistent overall,
just as far as like he's been inall of the tournaments where
Rom's kind of faded a couple ofthem, but I would say Scotty's

(07:55):
playing better golf overall thanRom uh, rom has just found a
way, um, and battled through,um, more so or more times than
Scheffler, uh, which, you know,look at it either way.
Um, if I'm taking one or theother right now, Scheffler is,
is probably the, gotta look atmm-hmm.
um, because his game in every.

(08:17):
Facet.
Uh, when he has to scramble,he's chipping in.
When he has to make a putt, he'sdraining 15 footers for whether
it be for birdie, for par, youknow, whatever it is.
And, you know, he can drive it,he can shape it.
This is coming

Stoy Hall (08:32):
from the man who picked him, who faded him.
Yeah, I mean, I just put you putyourself in this situation, you
said.
I

Cole Ingle (08:38):
did.
I mean, and that's, I mean,that's the thing is like I
looked at rom last week, um,struggled a little bit and I
just said, you know what, likeScheffer's do, and I, it wasn't
even that he was gonna miss thecut or anything like that.
It was just like, of all ofthese guys, like he's just due
to have one bad round.

(08:59):
Yeah, well, you know, whateverit may be.
And there's a lot of water,there's a lot of bad breaks he
can get at the players and stufflike that.
And didn't, um, he was justunflappable.
I mean, it didn't work out.
That was never really inquestion.
The only thing I can say formyself is that on Friday I got
him at plus two, plus 1 75 orplus 200 to win.

(09:25):
Um, and sprinkle, sprinkle, uh,no, no, I went big.
Oh.
Um, it was a, oh, I think I hada, well, I went big.
I say I went big.
I had a free bet, but it was a$25 free bet, which is more than
I would.
More than a sprinkle.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's more than a sprinkle.
If it wasn't, I wouldn't have.
25.
No.
Um, but I had it.
And, uh, so that nailed was abig, that was a big win.

(09:48):
Absolutely.
Cause that turned free bet intoreal money, real money, uh,
which went to the bank accountso that I didn't parlay it away,
because

Stoy Hall (09:56):
it would've happened, because,

Cole Ingle (09:57):
because that's what would've happened, especially
this week.
So, yeah, that was good.
I hit a, uh, a Holin top fiveand a, a shuffler, uh, overall,
so that was cool.
Uh, sweated the holin top fiveall the way.
Yeah.
All the way to the end.
All the way to the clubhouse onSunday.
So, and, and this is why we bet.

(10:18):
So, um, I, I saved my beddingfor the big tournaments in golf
and for like March Madness forbasketball and stuff like that.
I, I don't usually dabble, um,within the day to day, but, uh,

(10:38):
yeah.
So it, it was fruitful, yeah.
This last weekend for me, sothat was good.
Well, I'm, I'm glad

Stoy Hall (10:44):
it was Yeah.
In the, in the pocketbook.
Yeah.
And I'm also glad it wasn't,

Cole Ingle (10:48):
and it wasn't, uh, in the shitty shot category, so
Yeah.
Yeah.
Making up for it.
Um, but we'll start at thebottom because that's where the
big story lies here.
So I faded Scheffler, who was,uh, second favorite overall.
He ends up winning, um, which isa double shitty shot that also
is a negative five points.
Um, and I won, I believe three.

(11:11):
Oh.
It's a double city shot for forfadie for a player to fade.
Oh yeah, that's right.
We have absolutely.

Stoy Hall (11:20):
Well then you

Cole Ingle (11:20):
have four.
Well, I mean, my apologies.
It is what it is, but, um, soyeah, so I have two for that.
Um, where, why, why do we haveanother

Stoy Hall (11:35):
one?
Because we do one on one anddone's head up.
Yeah.
So that's three and then Oh, thepoints for the week.
Okay.
I don't, right.
I mean, that's how we had itlast week.
That's the only reason I trackedit.
Like that's that's why you hadthe three.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I, I mean if that's, I, Idon't remember doing it first

(11:58):
weeks at all.
Yeah.
Go back and look.
I highlight when we have shittyshots for, for last week.
So Yeah.
Cuz you had a double, had adouble and that one shouldn't
have been there.
Um, it was for the weekly, thepoints.
That's where the three would

Cole Ingle (12:13):
come from.
Okay.
So you had a double in thepoints.
Yeah.
And then this week.
you'd have, I had a double inthe points.
I don't think we'd been doingone and done.
Let's

Stoy Hall (12:23):
just make sure we'd have one.
That, that one's irrelevant.
We'd

Cole Ingle (12:30):
have one.
This was mine for the points

Stoy Hall (12:32):
and mine for,

Cole Ingle (12:38):
I don't know.
I don't Cause you won thepoints, but then Oh, cuz you
missed the cut.
That's why you had one.
Got it.
So yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's still three.
Okay.
Still three.
Yep.
Go ahead.
All right.
Uh, we check, but uh, yeah, soyou faded Cantley.
He finished still T 19.
Not bad.
Rory was obviously the fade playthis week.

(12:59):
um, would love that oneultimately.
Um, he was, but uh, he was alsothe favorite.
Mm-hmm.
So, um, we did not fade him.
Um, but, um, yeah.
So not, I mean, good faith.
But you got threes.
You were 15, so you were, yougot your three uh, I got my

(13:20):
minus five.
And, and the rest of the way,uh, I had doin as a top 40 inish
ended up tied 60th.
That should be.
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes more sense.
Yeah.
Uh, kitty Yama, you had, oh,Jesus.
I haven't my, this two weeks ina row.

(13:41):
He missed my, the cut.
We do not penalize the darkhorse in top 40.
Miscuts.
Geez.
Luckily for you, uh, dark Horse,you had Corey Connors, he also
missed the cut, and I hadTakala, who I believe may maybe
made the cut on the number,maybe a little ahead.
He had some really big momentsand some really bad moments
throughout the weekend, whichthat goes for a lot of guys.

(14:01):
Uh, outright winner, uh, I hadJT and you had Rom, uh, JT was
in it for a while and then wasout of it and just never, never
really made a push.
Um, on Saturday or Sunday,really either one finished T 60
as well.
Um, I'm withdrew before thesecond round, uh, as we have

(14:25):
researched.
And you had Homa who finished Tsix after a great round on
Sunday, and I had Mark Hawa whofinished T 13, which could have
been much better, but also couldhave been worse because he at
least didn't completely go offthe deep end when he started to

(14:48):
struggle, um, with the putterand.
Really all of his game kindawent to shit after the first
round, uh, for whatever reason.
So, um, you've got the moneythere a little bit.
Uh, I have money.
I'm like seven I gained onmoney.
Houma made$736,600, uh, for a Tsix finish.

(15:09):
Scheffler won another four and ahalf.
Was it four and a half million?
I think he won four and a half.
Four, yeah.
Um,

Stoy Hall (15:14):
a little bit ridiculous between one and six.

Cole Ingle (15:16):
Yeah, I got a put it out there.
I put one in a Twitter, uh, onhow much Scotty has made, and
it's a pretty absurd, uh, trackof what he's done in one year.
Uh, so we'll look at that alittle bit later.
Uh, Makawa made$447,900.
Not bad for tying for 13th.
I'll take it.

(15:36):
I would take it every day.
I'll, I'll tie for 13th for, for$447,000.
Uh, so the weekly score count,uh, unfortunately for me, I
scored eight points, but thenchose Shuffler, so down to five.
So I got six.
He got the win there.
I have the double shitty shotfor Shuffler and the loss on

(15:59):
points.
So that's my three.
Stoy has his double for Makawalast week, missing the cut and
losing on the points.
So we are even through twoweeks, which, you know,
Prayfully.
So for quitters out there, theywould just not count any of'em
and yeah.

(16:20):
Take their shots.
Yeah.
Not for us though.
Not for us.
Not bananas and watermelons.
Here we go.

Stoy Hall (16:34):
One down.
It's just not good.
So I follow this guy on YouTube.
Mm-hmm.
uh, what the hell's his name?
Uh, and um, what he does hischannel, let's see if I can't

(16:55):
find him real quick.
Uh, where are you?
Doka Ryan.
And what he does is he takeswhatever laure and like candies
and chocolates and whatever,puts'em in a mason jar, fills it
up, lets it sit for a week, andthen just takes the shot of

(17:16):
that.
I feel like we could dosomething similar with shitty
shots.
Yeah.
Where we just bring in randomshit every week and we mix it
and we sit it here and wait forthe next week to take it.
Dude, some of'em are really,really bad, I'm sure, but some
of'em are delicious.
He did.
Uh, God, what was the other onehe did?
He did rollos in, um, rum.

(17:37):
Yeah, I mean, that sounds good.
And it was like salted caramelbasically.
So, uh, fun facts.
Fun facts.
All right.
I didn't even put the othertournament on there.
That's how much I care about it.
Whoops.
It's been a, it's been, it'sbeen a week.
It's only Tuesday.
Um, on Tuesday.
Also, if we about it, if we endup being distracted in about 40

(17:58):
minutes, may or may not be cuzthe game's on.
Right?
Just throwing it out there.
There's game.
Um, so this week in golf, do you

Cole Ingle (18:08):
want to, uh, run through Twitter

Stoy Hall (18:12):
real quick?
I was gonna end with this thenfollow it with golf, Twitter and
just keep, stay on Twitter rightinto March Menez, just so we
don't have to bounce back.
No, that's fine.
Which doesn't really help muchcuz Prepped for the Val Bar is,
uh, in, in very high.

(18:33):
In very high.
Uh, you wanna grab the computerand while you talk through it,
at least talk through who's init.
Oh, no.
JT Jordan are playing becauseit's in Texas there.

Cole Ingle (18:47):
Yeah, I think let's take a gander.

Stoy Hall (19:01):
Let's take a gander.
Those who are actually tuninginto the Valspar this weekend,
you are dedicated.
uh, don't think I'll be watchingmuch of the Valspar.
I mean, I'll flip through.
Well, you can check

Cole Ingle (19:16):
in every now and again.
Yeah.
Well also if you have the golfchannel, it's on the morning
before basketball starts.
Mm, true.
So weekend, it'll be a weekendviewing.
Uh, Sam Burns is the headliner,uh, from a standpoint of he's a
two time champion here.
Big news, there are only, Ithink I put this one into

(19:37):
Twitter too.
It's three or four, um, threetime, uh, winners on the PGA
tour.
We all know who number one is.
It's somebody, somebody, I thinkone more person, like with two
in one or something like that.
I think all with one.
Yeah.
And then Tiger with eight,excuse me, how many?
Eight.
He has eight times.

(19:57):
He has won a tournament threetimes in a row.
Three times in a row.
That's just, that's

Stoy Hall (20:02):
just like,

Cole Ingle (20:02):
that's just, it's just silly.
I think, I don't know.
Remember if I, I put that one onthere and you reacted or vice
versa, but I just was like, justlike, it was just one of those
things where you put it like youcould do just like crazy Tiger
stat one, like one a day for afull year and still just
completely be

Stoy Hall (20:19):
Yeah.
Blown away.
They're, they're legitimatelyvideo game stats, like that
would be something.
As a created player that, yeah,created player that we Oh, in
row?
Yeah.
Like,

Cole Ingle (20:28):
like what the hell?
I mean, it's just like his, youknow, it's his miscuts, whether
it's his putts from inside Xnumber of feet.
Uh, just like all of those statsare just insanely uncatchable.
Yeah.
Like, um, like never again.
It's not ever happening.
Yeah.
Um, even as good as all of theguys are these days, it's just,

(20:50):
yeah.
Just so many, so many thingsthat happening.
Nobody's touching.
So yeah, we're at the Vals Barthis week in Texas.
Um, I actually, not a, I mean,not a terrible top end.
Um, we've got Thomas Spe,Fitzpatrick, burns, Bradley

(21:11):
Rose, Fleetwood, um, all guyswho played, you know, well this
weekend.
Uh, names, you know, um, finishout that, you know, that's the
top seven, that's about where itends.
You get into head when RileyMcCarthy after that.
Uh, so not necessarily householdnames after that, but, you know,
top seven, um, better than we'veseen, you know, like for the

(21:34):
Honda or anything like that.
But, um, you're gonna have thatas we get these premier events
and it's only gonna continue toget more so like that where, um,
those, the players in thesesmaller tournaments are, there's
just not gonna be as many of'em.
Um, when four and a halfmillions available the week
before.

(21:54):
And like you, you had the, aArnie into the players.
That's two weeks ago.
That's just back to back.
That's what you're gonna get.
Um, it's just like you had the,the Phoenix open into the
Genesis.
Um, you know, the Honda Classicsjust not gonna have names.
Uh, whether it be for the golfcourse, where it's located, how
much money's out there.
I mean, all of those things aregonna come into play and more so

(22:16):
as we get to these limited cutfields and stuff like that.
So, uh, that being said, um, youknow, I, I see, I mean, Thomas
is the favorite this week, uh,is what I'm seeing on FanDuel.
Assume you're seeing the sameYep.
Uh, plus a thousand.

Stoy Hall (22:36):

And then we've got four tiedClark or, uh, Windham.

(24:12):
Justin, Sue, Denny McCarthy,Davis.
Riley.
Finish out that at 3,500.
Okay.
It's a little jumbled messthere.

Cole Ingle (24:21):
Um, all right.
A quick breakdown of theweather.
Um, we're gonna see wind and geta, possibly see more delays with
rain this weekend.
Um, Valspar is actually, uh, notin Texas.
It's in.
Uh, Palm Harbor.
We are way off, you know,copperhead course though.

(24:42):
Uh, so popular course there inFlorida.
Actually.
Copperhead is ti is that whereTiger and JT are members?
This Copperhead?
No, they're at, uh, Seminole.
Seminole.
Yep, you're right.
Um, but I'm sure a course thatthey're fairly, I'm sure they
play there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, on Friday.
So Thursday's going to beprobably solid first round

(25:05):
scores.
That's definitely your, your dayof, of scoring.
Um, some wind gusts a littlebit.
Friday, gusts up to 40.
40.
Yeah.
Um, which that could suspendplay in itself.
Whoa.
Um,

Stoy Hall (25:23):
wow.
Are they playing in Iowa in thespring?

Cole Ingle (25:30):
Let's see.
We've got, wow.
Things get worse on Saturday andSunday.
Worse rain enters the picture.
Decent chance on Saturday to seeBlaise.
Are they gonna finish 72 andSunday rainy conditions?
Um, definitely going to play apart.

(25:52):
So 76 for the high on Thursday,eight to 16 mile an hour.
Friday 80, but windy, 20 mile anhour.
Sustained.
39 mile an hour gusts.
Not a ton of chance of rain onFriday though.
On Saturday we've got 70% chanceof rain, 42% chance of
thunderstorms, 16 to 30, um, 75degrees.

(26:17):
So like cold isn't gonna be theissue, but wind, wind, wind and
rain.
Um, combined, uh, breezy in themorning on Sunday, another
chance of thunderstorms, cloudy.
Uh, 13 mile an hour winds up to25, my guess, you know, so
there's a 70% chance of rain onSunday as well.
40% chance of thunderstorms thisthing could finish on, can

(26:39):
definitely finish on Monday, isdefinitely going, I mean you're
definitely going to play itlooks like in some type of
weather.
Uh, how long is going toprobably be a pretty dramatic,
so this

Stoy Hall (26:56):
would be definitely set up so far with the weather
could change of course, right?
Where it's paramount to actuallyscore Thursday.
Right?
Right.
Then it is usually a movingSaturday.
Like you might wanna scoreThursday cuz it might be the
only conditions to really golow, right?
Low.
But hey, I think that providesmore, uh, I think that the, the

(27:19):
cream rises differently there.
Jts a, a bad weather.
Mm-hmm.
layer.
Mm-hmm.
uh, so look into that.
Speed can be too.
I know, you know, J Rose hasbeen hot.
He, he would be in thatscenario.
Same with Fleetwood.
Um, again, this is gonna leadmore to your Europeans that are
used to a lot of the wind inrain.

(27:41):
Just Right.
Think about it.
Just think about it.
Yeah.

Cole Ingle (27:44):
Um, what, think about it.
Definitely, definitely going tobe challenging.
And I'm not sure, so I was justtrying to think like, in my
head, does that make me wannawatch more or less?
And I'm definitely gonna tune inspecifically just to see what
the weather's doing.
Absolutely.
Um, but I'll be very irritatedwhen in the morning the rounds

(28:07):
are suspended and I'm watchingSam Burns when last year's
tournament, because inevitablythat's what will happen.
Yeah.
Nice.
Uh, so, uh, kind of is what itis.
But, uh, don't anticipate a, theway these rounds have gone.
Uh, I just don't anticipate themfinishing, uh, Saturday or

(28:28):
Sunday.
And just depends on what they'regonna do on Friday with those
wins.
Um, how much they're impactingthe course.
I'm not incredibly familiar withthe course as far as if there's
a lot of trees or anything likethat to block some of this.
I also don't know the rule

Stoy Hall (28:43):
of wind well, cause basically if the ball can't

Cole Ingle (28:46):
stop on the ground Yeah.
I mean, essentially if it'simpacting the, yeah.
Like if the pin is blowing outof the hole or the ball cannot
come to a rest withoutoscillating or moving.
Yeah, that's it.
Um, so, but uh, yeah, we can,uh, all

Stoy Hall (29:05):
right, well you pulled up your one and done.
Who you got left?

Cole Ingle (29:07):
Um, one and done for me.
This week's gonna be Fleetwood.
Okay.
Um, just, I think he's playcoming off of a good weekend.
Um, as well as these conditionsare going to bother him less
than most, and I just don't knowwhere I would play him anywhere

(29:29):
else.
Anywhere else.
Yeah, I agree.
It's a field that's a little bitweaker too, so, um, just has a,
has a good Fleetwood feel to me.
I, uh, as soon as I saw theweather conditions, I feel

Stoy Hall (29:41):
you.
Um, I'm gonna go with Burney, Ithink.
I don't think I've ever takenhim.
I doubt I would.
Nope.

Cole Ingle (29:47):
Um, you talked about him a little bit, but yeah, no.

Stoy Hall (29:50):
Um, three Peter in, uh, you know, a lower field, uh,
with the ones above him.
Um, obviously Fitch, Patrick'sLittle, what's

Cole Ingle (30:00):
he on FanDuel 1800 or what's he on Draft Kings?
Sorry?
You're on Draft Kings?

Stoy Hall (30:05):
Yeah.
1800 and, uh, your boy Fleetwood2200.
Um, nice.
And, and JT speeds aren't inform either, so.
Yep.
Weaker field.
You're used to it.
You're, you're raining.
Champ has that little conferencein him.
I don't know how he plays inthis type of weather, but Yeah,
let's ride with him.
It's a one.
I'm not gonna pick him

Cole Ingle (30:24):
anywhere else.
Right.
So you've got him on DraftKingsat 1800?
Yeah.
On FanDuel.
He's 1600.
Uh, vice versa here onFleetwood, he's 2200 on
DraftKings, but I can get him at2,400 on FanDuel.
So take the value, uh, make sureyou're checking the value on
those, uh, outright winner.

(30:44):
Um hmm.
I mean, these conditions are,are ripe for jt.
I know.
Um,

Stoy Hall (30:55):
I was

Cole Ingle (30:55):
thinking the same thing.
I took him last week, but Idon't really care, so it's an
outright winner.
These, this makes sense.
So we'll go

Stoy Hall (31:10):
with that.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I don't really wantto double up, but I'm going to
gimme Fleetwood.
All right.
Tommy's, uh, he's streaky.
He likes to be streaky.

Cole Ingle (31:29):
Yeah.
Laying well.
Um, what, what did you sayThomas was 1200.
Yeah.
Just note that there.
Um, black Stallion, blackStallion.

Stoy Hall (31:46):
Ooh, what shall we do here?

Cole Ingle (32:01):
I getting a tum.
I'm getting a lot of top invalue There.
Are we?
No,

Stoy Hall (32:05):
we are not.
Hmm, this is, this is, this isjust a crapshoot.
I don't You think

Cole Ingle (32:15):
din likes spraying the rain.
He's got a bucket hat.
That's what, that's what I'mgoing with.
That's what

Stoy Hall (32:18):
I was

Cole Ingle (32:18):
thinking.
I was literally, Joel din in hisbucket hat are gonna go out
there at plus 1 0 5, or he'snot.
Plus 1 0 5.
Excuse me.
That was tough.
40

Stoy Hall (32:29):
plus 8,000.

Cole Ingle (32:30):
Yeah.
There we go.
Okay.
Well, I was looking at topforties too.
That's fair.
That's fair.
But my, my Black stallion willbe old Joel.
Little repeat action for youthis

Stoy Hall (32:40):
week.
Give me, gimme some k h Lee.

Cole Ingle (32:43):
All right.
Why?
What is he?
I don't know.

Stoy Hall (32:46):
Plus 5,500.
All right.
Is there a rhyme reason?
Nope.

Cole Ingle (32:50):
No.
Does there have to be not inBlack Stallion

Stoy Hall (32:53):
top 40?
Uh, I don't have a top 40.
I have a top five and a top 10.

Cole Ingle (32:59):
Yeah, that makes sense.
I feel like they were a littlebit, let see more

Stoy Hall (33:02):
bets.
Lemme try to, oh, nope, I gotit.
All right.
Top 40.

Cole Ingle (33:07):
Mine starts at Taylor Moore.
I.
Uh, Maverick

Stoy Hall (33:10):
Mcneley.

Cole Ingle (33:11):
Yep.
Plus 1 0 5.
He's right there in that group.
100 Moore doin McNeely are allin that group.

Stoy Hall (33:18):
Uh, for me.
Uh, no.
I'm taking doin.
He's plus one 30.
There you go.
I know I'm doubling up a lot,but there's not Yeah.
Much here.

Cole Ingle (33:31):
What'd you say?
Plus one 30.
Yeah.
That's actually pretty goodvalue.
I will take.
Who wants to play in the rain?
That's the real question.
Uh,

Stoy Hall (33:48):
see him right?
Or might grind one out.

Cole Ingle (33:52):
Think Vin Roy likes to play in the rain.
Thanks for idea.
Nobody likes to play in therain, but I think I too.
I'm going to, uh, jump on here.
Eric Van Rowen plus one 90 doing

Stoy Hall (34:13):
it.
How'd he go?

Cole Ingle (34:19):
All right.
And top

Stoy Hall (34:22):
it off.
Plus 200 by the way.
Go ahead and grab him.

Cole Ingle (34:25):
Um, with our player to fade.

Stoy Hall (34:31):
Yeah.
Uh, uh.
He's just, he's just not.
And when he's off, he's a littlebit off.
And so give me spe.
Okay.
I wouldn't touch the JT one.
I know he's number one, but likethat.
I'll take a T one spe over a Tone JT in this scenario.

(34:54):
All right,

Cole Ingle (34:55):
spe, um, I'm not touch touching either one of
those top two guys.
Uh, let's see here.
Um, shoot,

Stoy Hall (35:19):
it's,

Cole Ingle (35:19):
Patrick has not been playing well, but this is just
the type of tournament that's, Icouldn't touch that.
I'm gonna go with Bradley.

Stoy Hall (35:27):
Yeah, that's a, that's a solid

Cole Ingle (35:29):
one too.
Well, Keegan doesn't seem likesomeone who really cares to be
out there in the rain to me.
No.
Um, I've got him at fifth.
Is that what you're saying?
Oh, let's see.
One,

Stoy Hall (35:38):
two.
Yeah,

Cole Ingle (35:41):
see five.
Um, so yeah, you've got, uh,quick recap here.
Players to fade.
You are fading.
Spe uh, at, well, actually youget'em at two or do you want'em
at one?
You want'em at one?
You want'em at, you want'em one.
You want'em at.
Well, no, cuz you want your 10spread.

Stoy Hall (36:02):
Yeah.
I'd rather go to 12 of than No,

Cole Ingle (36:06):
you're right.
Right, right.
Uh, so T1 for Spe Bradley'sfifth, um, for our players to
fade top 40.
Uh, you're taking doin at plusone 30.
I'm taking Van Reyn at plus 200,uh, black stallions Cage Lee
plus 5,500 Joel Doman at plus8,000 and outright.

(36:27):
Winner for you, Fleetwood for mejt.
And for one and Dunn's, I amtaking Fleetwood and you are
taking the threepeat.
The threepeat

Stoy Hall (36:40):
for Sam Burns.
Someone has to catch

Cole Ingle (36:42):
ticker.
So, okay.
There we are for picks for theweek.
Um, a quick little, uh, golfrecap here on Twitter and we
will dive into the madness.
The

Stoy Hall (36:56):
madness?
Mm-hmm.
All right, let's cut on overhere to here.
Let

Cole Ingle (37:00):
me turn off.
I think we should probably doanother shot at this point.
Yeah.
Are you, you're just one in,yeah.
Uh, you got the butterscotch?
I

Stoy Hall (37:07):
do.
I got the butterscotch.
All right.
Let's do this thing.
Look at us.
It's cute.

Cole Ingle (37:22):
It's by far

Stoy Hall (37:22):
the best one.
Uh, green apples.
Agree, disagree.
I don't remember last timeyou've had a green apple.
I feel like I always get thegreen apple though.
All right, so let's become

Cole Ingle (37:34):
your favorite

Stoy Hall (37:36):
probably.
All right.
Uh, first start off.
So contextual here.
This was God, what, where was hewhen you sent this first?

Cole Ingle (37:48):
Yeah.
First he was the first roundleader.
Right.
Um, and also in contentionthrough Saturday.
Really?
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (37:55):
So, uh, Chad Rameys.
Chad Ramey.
Ramey.
Yep.
Ramey Results this season havebeen Miscut Miscut, T 28, T 69.
Miscut, miscut, miscut, miscut38th, T 54 T 70.
Miscut, miscut, miscut.
Early on leader.
Yep.
In contention all the waythrough.
Yep.
Saturday, just a just golf.

Cole Ingle (38:17):
And then we had Minu Minu Lee, um, leading as well.
And he kind of pooped the bed, Ithink down to T six or T seven,
somewhere in there.
Huh.
So Sunday pressure

Stoy Hall (38:33):
definitely gets the onions.
Yep.
Gets the onions.
But here we are.
this is it.

Cole Ingle (38:38):
The spe extravaganza.
Uh, you see the red line that isgoing towards the water.
This ball takes one.

Stoy Hall (38:47):
I've, I've felt this, I've done this multiple

Cole Ingle (38:50):
times for contact.
So yeah, I mean, he lets thisball go.
It goes right this ball onehops, it's the guy in the blue
shirt right off the kneecap, andthat is his ball back into the
fairway.
Um, the ball went probably 12 to15 feet in the air and probably
traveled a good 30 yards to getback to the fairway off of one
hop and a kneecap.
Yep.
Boom,

Stoy Hall (39:10):
boom.
Dead nuts in the middle of thefairway.
Yep.

Cole Ingle (39:13):
Right off the side of his knee.
And here it comes, over theropes, over the people

Stoy Hall (39:18):
back into the fairway.
And, and basically just as

Cole Ingle (39:21):
I mean, far as everyone else drives and look at
it still has enough spin on itto go forward after it hops
creating that top spin, it'sstill got enough that it's rolls
forward.
Probably a good three to fouryards in the fairway after
bouncing off the kneecap landingand now it's bouncing forward.
Safe

Stoy Hall (39:36):
to say it was spiny.
Yeah, spiny.
It was

Cole Ingle (39:39):
a little spiny.
So good on that.
Yes, that is water over thereand there is nothing stopping
that ball going the water exceptfor that human being.
Um, that ball's going straightin the water, uh, if he's not
standing there.
So good ricochet.
Uh, and again, after that speedmade the cut on the number and 1
270$5,000

Stoy Hall (39:59):
Good for him.
So good for him.
Um, this.
Cool.

Cole Ingle (40:06):
So this was a, during the broadcast, uh, some
technology they brought in.
So the, the lines that you'reseeing at the top are the flow
of the wind.
Um, this is the, the par three17th.
And so like, this is live, whatthe wind is doing, and then all
of a sudden the wind, so thewind is calm.
The wind is calm, this is whatwe're talking to the caddy
about.
This is what we're feeling.

(40:27):
It's an easy shot.
It's 135 yard shot.
Caddy walks away.
All of a sudden there are twostreams of wind that are, I
mean, basically vortexing Right?
Um, and probably twice thespeed.
Um, whereas like if you hit thatvortex coming from the island
now, cuz you can see it's comingfrom a completely different
direction.
Crush your ball.

(40:47):
Um, yeah.
And also it's moving directlyback into you and to the right,
instead of just a steady flow oflike maybe a quarter of a club
at best difference.

Stoy Hall (41:00):
It also, the wind is also lower.
Yeah.
Like, like the other one, it'sup here.
Yeah.
So you can keep your ball low,don't have to deal with it.
Like this is all over the place.
Mm-hmm.
could, could you imagine thoughif like the technology had
glasses and now you can see thewind.
Right.
What it would be like, justpsyche out.
You'd just be like, oh, oh shit.

Cole Ingle (41:18):
So you don't know what the players are feeling
necessarily, but this is,

Stoy Hall (41:22):
but this is probably part of the reason there's so
many balls in the water.
Mm-hmm.
this is kind of showing you thatcuz the wind changes

Cole Ingle (41:29):
a little bit because it's just a, it's a stock wed.
or less right.
For these guys, depending on pinplacement and wind.
Yes.
So this is not a difficult golfshot we saw on Saturday.
The conditions were fairly good.
I think there was one, maybe twoballs in the water on Saturday
and no one off the green even.
So it can be a, a, a rather easyhole for guys as well.

(41:53):
But as soon as that wind startsto blow and we didn't see it
nearly as much this year as wedid last year.
Right.
Um, but definitely makes yousecond guess yourself, your
swing shit, um, and stuff likethat.
So

Stoy Hall (42:05):
I didn't even have it over there.
I had it on us.
Oh well I'll play the video.
I'm really, I'm really off mygame.
I apologize to all thosewatching currently, all those
that watch it afterwards.
It would be cool.
This is cool.
Why, why we just thistechnology?

Cole Ingle (42:26):
Yeah.
I don't know where that must be.
Some, there must be something inthat tower that's gauging that.
Yeah.
I just don't know.
I really want to see that thoughat Augusta on, is it 12?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give They always get somebecause of the tree line.
Yeah.
Uh, it's like 140 yard.
This was,

Stoy Hall (42:44):
uh, The chances of this ball doing this are,

Cole Ingle (42:51):
yeah.
So billions to going in thewater.
Oh wait.
It's going into the part of thewood that has been checked out
by a bird.
Um, essentially um, and has beennested in, I don't

Stoy Hall (43:04):
know what the ruling was on that, by the way.
Just hazardous like, like it

Cole Ingle (43:09):
is in the water.
Yeah.
So you either had to play itfrom there or take your, at your
drop, because the yellow linesdesignating the hazard.
So

Stoy Hall (43:17):
foreplay, which is by the way, great follow.
Mm-hmm.
open the face and accelerate, bythe way, would you attempted it?

Cole Ingle (43:26):
No broken wrist.
Yeah.
Broken golf club and brokenwrist and in the water.
Fall water, yes.

Stoy Hall (43:32):
And by the way, the ball probably stays

Cole Ingle (43:34):
there.
So now you've got a broken club,a broken wrist, wrist, you're in
the water and you can't swimbecause your wrist is broken.
you're screwed all around.
Like, uh, I did see somethingthis weekend though, that said
the penalty for hitting the ballin the water.
So like, there's like a fairwaywe could see from the on the
wind video.
Mm-hmm.
there's a fairway down to theleft, and then like up there is
where the drop zone is that thepenalty for, for hitting the

(43:56):
ball in the water.
There should be, um, having totake a ferry out to the island
that's to the right where thetree is.
Yes.
And that your caddy has topaddle you out there.
So it's the paddle of shame.
be, I thought that was reallygood.
That hor good tweet.
Oh, that'd be great.
So, all right.
Obviously not in the cardsbecause the pace of play would
be severely, you

Stoy Hall (44:18):
could do it on Wednesdays.
That'd be, or something fun likeYeah.
If you were, uh, what was Igetting at?
Oh yeah, this, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tour golf.
Not that tour, the other tour.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, according to Jordan's speechagent, the spectator that he hit
ended up taking speed up on hisoffer to get him whatever he
wants.
The fan asked for 20 masterstickets, all expenses paid for

(44:39):
trip, a new set of clubs, amembership to five country
clubs, which is egregious.
The fan said he would've made$0if it wasn't for me.
So honestly, I feel likewhatever purse money he makes
should all go

Cole Ingle (44:51):
to me.
Which I mean, he'd be close tospending that 2 75

Stoy Hall (44:55):
on the twenties, on the 20 master tickets.

Cole Ingle (44:57):
Well, I mean, 20 masters tickets, if you're
getting all expensive paid your,I mean, what are you looking at
there?
200,000, 10,000 a piece.
Yeah.
And so the 75,000 is probablyonly gonna cover one of the
memberships.
Yeah.
Uh, depending on what yourcountry, I mean, you what says
country?
I would just ask

Stoy Hall (45:15):
for the first one.
That'd be perfect.
Right?

Cole Ingle (45:16):
Just give it to me.
Yeah, but I mean, I wouldn't askfor 20, I'm kind of greedy.
I don't, I don't want to invite,I would that many people purpose
the

Stoy Hall (45:24):
purse is what I would've just asked for.

Cole Ingle (45:25):
Gimme the 2 75 and we'll figure it out later.
You know what, just gimme 200.

Stoy Hall (45:28):
Yeah.
Pay your cat to the other 75.

Cole Ingle (45:30):
We'll move on.
We get, uh, take your privatejet back to your,

Stoy Hall (45:33):
clearly that's not what happened, but I, I actually
am a whole full believer in thefact that he should get a fairly
good sum.

Cole Ingle (45:42):
Yeah.
The dude, if the dude's not atthe masters, that's on him.
Christ speci like two tickets tothe masters, Absolut.
Yeah.
Um, and whether you want to gofor a day and absolutely not,
um, ever get all expenses paidor, you know, I mean, be

(46:02):
careful.
I mean, don't overdo it.
Don't be a jackass about it.
Right.
But absolutely.
Get me to the Masters.
Yeah.
So a hundred percent, that wasmy take on that as far as like,
you know, what, what's somethingthat I can get from SPE that I
can't get from anyone else?
Yeah.
Um, and that I feel like is oneof the things.

(46:23):
It's fair.
I think that's, I mean, I wantto charter Jet to the

Stoy Hall (46:25):
Masters.
Yeah.
In all my, all my stuff paidfor.
You know what?
I'm not even gonna ask for youto walk me around the course.
No,

Cole Ingle (46:32):
I don't.
No, no.
That I wanna be there Wednesdayto Sunday.
All paid for.
Yep.
That's it.
Mm-hmm.
And I wanna be aware to go beable to go to wherever the hell
I want on the course.
Good, good.
Whatever the v i p whatever thev i p is at the master's, I want
two of them.
Right.
And I want, I just want an allexpense master's trip for two.
Yeah, let's do it.

Stoy Hall (46:53):
Uh, so through nearly two rounds of the players this,
this year, um, all of thefollowing scores have been shot.
A one, a two, a three, a four, a5, 6, 7, 8, and nine and a 10.
10.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Can't imagine that's happenedvery many times.
No,

Cole Ingle (47:09):
it just kinda shows you the gut, the type of golf
course, um, and the frustrationit can create for these.
because anytime a, a pro golferis making, I mean, I would even
really say an eight through a10.
There's frustration causing, ah,a stroke or two, um, whether
it's a missed tap in which wesaw a couple different times out

(47:30):
of frustration, um, a duffedchip back into the water or back
into a bunker, something likethat.
Uh, so, you know, that's just aPete Die course for you.

Stoy Hall (47:39):
Here it is.
So, um, the, the guy who bouncedoff, by the way, what he

Cole Ingle (47:43):
actually got,

Stoy Hall (47:44):
he's a Marine by the way, which is dope.
Mm-hmm.
And then what he actually gotwas, uh, tickets for the weekend
in a signed flag.
Yeah.
So I really hope there's moreprivately mm-hmm.
because if not, like to me thisfeels like this was from the
players also

Cole Ingle (48:01):
that doesn't even himself.
I mean, that must have been thenext day because he wasn't
wearing that shirt when he gothit.
He was wearing a blue shirt.
So,

Stoy Hall (48:08):
um, but I feel like this came from the players
championship themselves.
Mm-hmm.
There has to be something elsePete does.
I You don't, I mean, you don'tmake 275,000 legitimately off
somebody.
Yeah.
And just be like, here's a flagwith my name on it.
Right?

Cole Ingle (48:26):
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
This, so, so what's wrong withthis pause real quick?
Um, I just don't want to runthrough what we're gonna watch,
but.
So far this year, the biggestproblem with golf, um, and all
of the great things that they'vebeen doing, don't get me wrong,
but the biggest problem withgolf is pace of play.
Um, we're seeing a lot ofchanges in baseball.

(48:47):
We're, we're going to see a lotof changes in golf, um, from a
field cut type of thing and, andstuff like that.
There are pace of play rules inplay.
Um, they seem to be sporadicallyenforced, but we're, I mean,
we're seeing rounds of golfmultiple times this year.
Almost every round that we'veseen has had to have an

(49:08):
extension of play into the nextmorning, um, Friday to Saturday,
um, because we're not finishingbefore daylight.
Some

Stoy Hall (49:18):
of that's daylight savings time,

Cole Ingle (49:19):
right?
We get that.
Uh, so, you know, maybe we'reout of that, but that should
just never happen.
And when we're talking aboutalmost six hour rounds of golf,
ugh, this to me is the numberone thing that can be
eliminated.
And the biggest reason I saythat is you, we can roll it now.

(49:41):
So this caddy is going to prettymuch stand in for a professional
golfer.
I'm honestly, this is Hoggyactually, this is Hoggy on, this
is actually Hoggy on Saturday.
This is Hoggy, the day he shothis, uh, 72.
So I mean, literally the caddyis taking the putt.
So like, I mean, there's a good30 seconds right there before

(50:02):
hoi steps.
Everybody needs to understandone thing.
When young kids all the waythrough high school, and I, I
don't wanna say this forcertain, but I'm fairly certain,
even college, your caddy cannoteven help align You, let alone

(50:30):
stand over the ball, stand overthe putt without a putter.
Like the only rule they have isthat once Hoy addresses this
ball and the ball is on theground, that he can't stand and
watch hoy's alignment.
If the marker is still on theground, which a lot of guys is,

(50:51):
what you'll see a lot of guysdo, they can still set
alignment.
At that point, it's all bogusbecause a six year old kid on
the little kid's PGA can't havetheir dad come out and help'em
line up a putt.
What the hell are we doing?
I mean, I get the, hey, lookslike it's right to left.

(51:12):
Like, you know, you're in a bestball type of read.
Like go take a look at it.
You should never, as a caddy,get to stand in a line.
Mm-hmm.
or stand over a golf ball.
And if you remove those twothings, you would speed up
around a golf.
I would say by at least 20 to.
25 minutes.
If no caddy could stand over aline, you can stand behind it

(51:34):
and you can stand on the otherside about it.
I don't care.
Because you can do all of thosethings while other guys are
doing something.

Stoy Hall (51:40):
You also, they also get to the green before you do.

Cole Ingle (51:42):
Right.
So once you're there, the onlyperson who should be reading and
or addressing the golf ball andor any type of line between the
golf ball and the hole is theplayer for multiple reasons.
One is time, but two is likethat.
Caddy should not be anywherenear the hole unless he's taking

(52:02):
the pin out or putting the pinbag in.
Correct.
Which make

Stoy Hall (52:05):
your read, then they're fine.
And

Cole Ingle (52:06):
that's fine.
But at every level up until thePGA you don't get hell, you
don't even get a caddy shit.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like, let alone can the caddytell you how to putt?
I mean, I get it.
You, you still have to go outthere and make the stroke.
But I mean, if you want to talkabout all the things in golf
that just need removed, thisjust needs removed.

(52:27):
Um, let's remove it.
I'm

Stoy Hall (52:29):
down so

Cole Ingle (52:30):
I, we all vote.
I don't know if that's a hottake or what, but I mean that
it's just egregious at thispoint.
Um, with all of the linereading, like if the players
want to do it and that's theirprocess and they can keep pace
fine, but right now we're notkeeping base.
Um, so get rid of it.
Damnit damn it.

(52:55):
That is one of my favorite onesof the weekend bar Stool.
Trent, uh, who's the star ofbreaking 90 now, I think, uh, I
think he's down to 90 cuz he wasbreaking a hundred.
He broke a hundred, but I stilldon't think he's broke 90 yet.
Yeah.
So,

Stoy Hall (53:09):
um, I recently complained after walking 18
holes, time to take a hard lookin the mirror.
Yeah.
When after, uh, by the way, he,uh, retweeted, uh, the PGA tour.
Mm-hmm.
Scotty Scheffer's, 88 year oldgrandmother, Mary.
Mm-hmm.
has been with Scotty all weekand just powering through

Cole Ingle (53:24):
Yeah.
Powering through, walked everysingle hole with him on the
players.
So yes, for those counting athome, that's 72 holes.
Um, when you play a round ofgolf, on average you're going to
watch, walk somewhere betweenfive to seven miles.
So, I mean, ultimately shewalked about 20 to 25 miles, uh,

(53:45):
with Scotty, uh, on the week ifshe was there Thursday to
Sunday.
That's what it said.
I don't, I don't know if she didor didn't, um, but really made
me, uh, you know, think aboutwalking more.
We should when, I mean it'sactually more in, I mean, in
some ways it's more enjoyablegolf.
Um,

Stoy Hall (54:03):
but, and it really doesn't slow you down that much
because

Cole Ingle (54:06):
we usually are button up to It's all relative
to the group you're playingwith.
Correct.
the further, I mean, we hit itfar enough.
that when we're walking to theball, like the walking, we're
not, we're not pulling up to ourball most of the time.
40 yards to 150 yards out, whichis what slows paces of power,

(54:28):
right?
So, um, yeah.
Um, yeah.
But specifically us.
Yes.
We should walk more.
We should,

Stoy Hall (54:34):
for multiple reasons.
Let's try it.
Let's do it.
I've never walked, ever.
Uh, I, I take that back.
I've walked nine.

Cole Ingle (54:41):
You've never walked 18 holes of golf, ever.
Oh, first round of golf.
This year we're walking.
Never.

Stoy Hall (54:47):
All right.
I enjoyed the nine.
I actually played one of mybest, best route.
Best nines.
Yeah.
Hey, get in

Cole Ingle (54:51):
the cart.
Um, get in the cart.
Fatty.

Stoy Hall (54:53):
Mainly cuz I think I have a, I have an issue.
My shoe was like, I get goingreally, really fast.
So I'm always ready to hit.
I always want to hit, like, Ialways just wanna hit like, let
me hit like I just let me hit,but if you had to walk to it, we
don't have to walk.
Think through.
I already knew where I'm out.
Okay, cool.
And then you just kind of hangout.
It's beautiful.
Your breathing slows down.
Do you get over the ball and go?

(55:13):
Okay, cool.
I'll just hit the ball.
Right.
There you go.
So that's where I'm at.
But uh, shooting Mc Gavinintroducing myself can help
myself.
The Scotty Chef's grandma.
This one, this one

Cole Ingle (55:23):
had me laughing out loud.
Happy Gilmore reference therefor those, uh, who are not aware
too young.
But, uh, yeah, this it is toofunny.
And his grandma actually kind oflooks like her.
Yeah.
So, so worked.
It worked a lot.
Worked.
It played well.

Stoy Hall (55:39):
And Scotty won.
Got money.
Like it all works.
Yeah, all works.
Alright.
Here we're, here's that.

Cole Ingle (55:45):
Sam Burns, uh, going for a Threepeat this week at the
Valspar Championship in Florida.
Uh, since 1995.
Uh, 10 golfers, uh, or no, 10instances of a player winning a
third, a third, excuse me, uh,or fourth in consecutive time in
the p g a tour event.
Steve Stricker at the John DeereClassic.

(56:06):
Stewart Applebee at Maui andTiger Woods eight times.
I don't know.
So I stand corrected.
There.
There was only, only, yeah,there's only two.
Two.

Stoy Hall (56:16):
And Tiger.
Yeah.
Um, I want to say this though.
The only reason it says Oh, orfourth guarantee it's tiger.
Oh, absolutely.
Like, let's, like you have toadd in or fourth just to make
the stat work, right?
And I think that just, uh, thatrounds up, uh, our golf Twitter.
So before we get into MarchMadness, um, there's only just a

(56:37):
couple, um, we're just gonna doa little bit.
There's a taste, a teaser, ateaser into, uh, a tea.
Don't be teasing, just a littleteasing into free agency.
Okay?
Uh, next week we're gonna hitfree agency hard, as you know,
it opened up, uh, tomorrowtechnically, I believe.
Um, and there's just a couple ofthings that are happened, but
we'll download you as our teamsgo through.

(56:59):
Again, mainly because this isall about March Madness.
Mm-hmm.
we'll have the little bit ofrecap there going into our
picks.
We also show art bracketsstarting next week as well.
But yeah, a couple, uh, I don'twanna say big.
This isn't our biggest for theFalcons.
Most intriguing for me because Iwas the one last year that said,
I, I just despise this guyTaylor Heineke signs as our

(57:22):
backup for a two year deal with20 mil.
Um, what are the commandersdoing?
I don't, that's what I'm gettingat.
This dude started for you onegames and is a solid ass backup

Cole Ingle (57:35):
also.
He's better than Ritter.
I don't care how much you hatehim.
No,

Stoy Hall (57:38):
I hate him.
So I wanted to, I'm gonnapreface that.
I, I just don't like his antics.
Right.
Hated it for that.
But he's that player that onyour team, you want him on your
team.
Yeah.
He's just a douchebag outside ofthat team.
Right?
Is that like

Cole Ingle (57:50):
Kirk D cousins?
Yeah.
Well,

Stoy Hall (57:52):
no, I don't want cousins on my team either, but
yes, yes.
It, it kind of is.
Um, I don't know.
You like that?
I don't know what the commandersare doing.
Um, I think this is great forour team.
Do you like the pickup?
I do because they want Richardto be the starter, but he hasn't
been pushed.
He should have started over.
Nevermind.
We, we won't dive those not

Cole Ingle (58:12):
to be named.

Stoy Hall (58:13):
Um, so he's gonna push him.
I he's not gonna just be like,I'm, I'll be a backup and teach
you.
He will if that competitioncomes out.
But he's gonna compete.
He's a, he's, yes sir.
Apparently, um, research showsin the news shows that he is
very good for the locker room.
So all of those, what you wantout of a backup?
I don't, I don't know why youwouldn't want that.

(58:35):
Um, not to mention, oh, on theFalcons boards.
It's, okay.
Cool.
You have him as your.
if, if Ritter falter eitherinjury or just sucks.
Mm-hmm.
he can come in and, and supportyou for the year.
Right.
And get you to the gap year toget to next year's draft picks.
Mm-hmm.
or some other quarterback.
So I, I I do like the overall.

(58:57):
Yeah.
And he didn't cost as much as Ithought we were gonna spend.
And then I, I have, we have totalk about it because it's like
the first move the Cowboysdecided to do.
And day two, what do you thinkabout it?

Cole Ingle (59:10):
I mean, I think it's solid because they're somewhat
young in the secondary.
Um, the Cowboys are acquiring,uh, former all pro, uh, Stefon
Gilmore from the Colts.
Um, best years are behind him,but it's still, you cannot be
too deep in the secondary, uh,whether it be injuries, uh,
different types of formationsyou're gonna face, uh, in the

(59:31):
NFL in general.
Uh, you, you can never haveenough defensive backs, uh, who
can cover one-on-one.
Um, the more that you have, themore multiple you can be on
defense, the more times MicahParsons gets to be one-on-one in
a pass rush, um, the more timesyour team's going to be
successful.
Yes.
Uh, so only see good thingshere.

(59:52):
You know, Campbell's gotta loveit.
Uh, on the back end.
Quinn?
Yep.
Dan He's your

Stoy Hall (01:00:01):
de coordinator.
Mark George.
Do you want Campbell?

Cole Ingle (01:00:06):
Yes.
No.
Dan Quinn.
Excuse me.
Jeez.
Um, complete, uh, brain fogthere.
Uh, no.
Is gonna, yeah, Quinn is gonnalove it on the back end.
Excuse me.
Um, wow.
I just, we didn't lose anybody.
Uh, so picking somebody up, it'sthe first thing we've really
done in free agency.
Uh, still need to cut.
Dak still need to cut.
Schultz.
You're not cutting.
D.
Um, but that's, or not Dak.

(01:00:27):
Excuse me.
We need to cut Zeke.
I'm just, yeah.
Hey, we can cut Dak too.
What the fuck?
You know, I'm here for it.
Let's just cut'em.
Where's Hy?
Can we pick up Heineke?
Go ahead.
Cut'em too.
I don't care.
Wait.
D we'll send you Dak forHeineke.
Yes.
You can play Dak and we'll payHeineke.

Stoy Hall (01:00:45):
We have a Dak.
Ritter.
Is

Dak Okay.
Transfer.
Cool.
Uh, no need to cut.
Zeke need to cut.
Schultz, um, need to add areceiver.
Um, I don't know if we'll draftor pick up a running back and
free agency as far as a backup,but you need to, um, but we
don't really need to cuz thebackup to,

Stoy Hall (01:01:04):
um, we have to get rid of Zeke.
Oh, uh, what's

his name?
He's, uh, number 35.
God, what's, yeah, I'm obviouslydoing, he's, I'm doing very well
with names today, so I wasn'teven gonna try pull that for
sure.
Our Pollard one and our backuptwo, and then you can pick up a
guy off randomly squad fornothing.
So, uh, not worried about therunning back spot.
Um, always continuing to grow,uh, defensive backfield and

(01:01:27):
defensive line, uh, as well assolidifying o line percent.
Uh, so I, I get it.
We don't need to make a, like,that's the thing.
We don't need to make a splash.
No, you do, but we need to dosomething.
Um, so I sent a buddy of minetoday, the old poking it with a
stick, you know, it's, yeah.
Uh, dead animal, like, what isDallas doing?

(01:01:50):
Uh, so, uh, you're a team, notmine.
They, uh, they didn't dosomething finally.
They did.

Stoy Hall (01:01:55):
So, yeah.
Uh, obviously the biggest, Iguess, news overall is just this
trade, and we didn't reallyspeak about it, but I wanted to
bring it up.
Mm-hmm.
Um, so update on the Bearstrading.
The number one overall pickedCarolina.
Uh, they pick up the number ninefrom Carolina 61, first round
pick next year, second roundpick the year after that and,

(01:02:19):
and DJ Moore.
Yeah.
Um, when I first read this, I, Ithought the comp picks were
fine, like I the picks Cool.
the DJ Moore.
Um, that one shocked me.
Uh, you could have got

rid of, that's what won the trade for the Bears.
I

Stoy Hall (01:02:37):
Oh, absolutely.
Nailed it for them.

Right?
I mean, I feel like it would beeither the first round pick in,
I don't know.
Is, is DJ more worth first round

Stoy Hall (01:02:52):
pick?
Well, I, if you ever give upthat, you have to get, if you're
gonna give up a first round,well num, you know, obviously
number one we're talking aboutnumber one, not just first
round.
If you give up this year's firstround, you get their first
round.
Mm-hmm.
he's worth a first round of nextyear, in my opinion.
He's a first rounder himself.
Right.

That's what I'm saying though.
So like of that, like to makethe, like I think the Bears got
away with murder here.
Oh, absolutely.
But my question is, is likewhat, what, uh, if you take away
DJ Moore to make it fair, itfeels unfair if you, if they
just got the picks correct.
Or if they got rid of the firstround pick in 2024.

Stoy Hall (01:03:31):
Yep.
And slid in dj.
Absolutely.
I just, and good for the Bears.
They have a ton of money aswell.
Um, I know they've, and we'llget to it, but they signed a ton
of, um, receivers and they,they're doing off season well,
okay.
Okay.
They're doing well.
This make to me, this makes upfor the Trubisky debacle.

We'll see, we'll see how it plays out.

Stoy Hall (01:03:52):
I don't disagree on paper right now.
That's, Alright.

You kind of made up for it honestly.

Stoy Hall (01:03:57):
You, you did how, I mean, will it, will it play out
for you?

I mean, the thing is you're getting Carolina's first
round pick in 24, which isCarolina might be the worst team
in the NFL next year, which isgonna be a top five pick,

Stoy Hall (01:04:08):
right?
Mm-hmm.

um mm-hmm.
So, yeah, I just, that bafflesme, uh, overall.
Sure does.

Stoy Hall (01:04:16):
All right.
Where did my, the reason I laughat this one, where did it go?
Um, the hell, what in the hell?
Where'd it go?
It was about Drake.

(01:04:38):
Where did you go?
Oh, right here, the rapper.
Did you guys see this?
Do you guys see this?
Right?
Says this tweet might includesensitive content.
Oh, you wanna know what thecontent is?
It's, it's this picture.

Is this what we call a of us

Stoy Hall (01:04:56):
Huh?
But of our squad winning It wassensitive content.
Oh, I love it.
Twitter, thank you.
But for making it sensitive.
Yes.
For making it sense sensitivematerial.
Here it is.
You guys ready?
This is, this is our segue.
This is it.
This is exactly, this is a seguefor the first time since Wichita
State in 2014, the NBC Men's andWomen's.

(01:05:16):
champions are from the sameschool.
And let that be known.
That is Drake University.
Do you let u d be known?
And this is also the first yearthat they let our mascot Griff.
Yeah.
This is Griff.
The second, uh, Griff.
Two.
Two.
The tournament in itself, theywould've never allowed him in.
Yeah.
Ever.
Yeah.
I want you to know his record issix and Oh.
Mm-hmm.
And that's what the sensitivecontent was.

(01:05:38):
It's picture of growth of of adog.
Of a dog.

The real question is with the chip, have we figured
out if he can be at the NCAAs?
I don't know.

Stoy Hall (01:05:48):
Have we ever said that He better be, he's
undefeated.

I get it.
That's why I'm saying he betterbe.

Stoy Hall (01:05:54):
But the tough part is, well no, they play, are they
playing like a, it's a weekapart?

Well, they'll be in Albany Friday.
Sunday.
Yeah.
Friday.
Sunday.
Well, one, do the girls play?

Stoy Hall (01:06:05):
I don't even know.
So next

weekend, right?
Has to be No, they'll playSaturday.
Monday, I think.
So it's a lot of flying

Stoy Hall (01:06:13):
form Right.
Uh, if, if it was, because Ithink they're playing the Cali
somewhere.
I don't know Matt.
I mean, I don't remember off topof the head, but like there'd be
a lot of travel for him.
Mm-hmm.
But he better be allowed.
Yeah.
And everyone's argument has beenbecause he's a alive mascot.
Right.
He is a damn bulldog.

(01:06:33):
Yeah.
He, and by the way, for thosethat don't know, he doesn't move
from his chair

very often and nor does he stay awake,

Stoy Hall (01:06:40):
nor does he want to.
So he is not going to be amenace to anything.
He's not gonna go on the courtin la lay a dookie.
Like, no, none of that'shappening.

That guy's only dookie in one spot.
And that's where he is laying.
Let him be

Stoy Hall (01:06:52):
and let him come to the attorney.
Let it happen.
All right.
Here we are.
You ready?
I don't, we don't have a Marchmadness

button.
No, I mean I think we just,

Stoy Hall (01:07:07):
uh, but it's happening this year's
tournament.
2023.
I meant like 16 brackets itfeels like already.
Uh,

yeah, I've declined a lot of brackets.
I can, because I mean, I can'tput a mortgage payment on all
the brackets.
I mean, you can, uh, I'm notthat good a brackets.
Yeah, I'm not either.
Um, I said I might as well.
I was talking to a coworkertoday and I was like, I might as
well just take all of the moneyI'm spending on brackets and put

(01:07:37):
it into one of my either FanDuelor DraftKings accounts and at
least have a chance at winning.
Yeah.
Right.
Like, I mean, I had, oh, Iliterally, so I started tracking
'em on my notes and I am inseven, um, six, no, I'm an eight

(01:07:59):
six, uh, N C A A, uh, basketballtwo n c a wrestling, and I have
declined nine.
did you decline

Stoy Hall (01:08:11):
the one I sent you?
Yes.
How that one you win no matterwhat.

I, in what way?
Because you, you can win.
I didn't, I didn't decline it.
I just haven't accepted.
That's, that's fair.
It's still available,

Stoy Hall (01:08:22):
but that one's awesome because that one you can
win throughout the time.
First of all, um, if you arethe, you get the worst points.
Yeah.
Money back.
Mm-hmm.
you get paid if you are the besteach round.
Right.
And it's different than yournormal pick.
So you pick your one through 16.
I get it.

And it's, it's pretty fun.
I still have to trust myself topick those correctly.

Stoy Hall (01:08:44):
Well, I mean, there is that right?
But you have more opportunitiesto win your money back is all
I'm saying.
So it's not like

a, the brackets that I'm in, I'm in a fundraising
bracket for my nephew.
Um, I'm in a family bracketalways.
Um, I'm in a seed capturebracket, so that is totally
blind draw the, whatever teamsyou get, you get one through 16,
doesn't matter.
It is captured based on, uh,spread coverage.

(01:09:12):
So literally I have my, I mean,how many family members do we
have in that?
Let's see, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
Um, so we all have what, six orseven?
Whatever team.
Yeah.
Or no?
We all have, do we have onlyeight?
Two?
No, there's only eight.
There's only eight of us.

(01:09:33):
So we all have eight.
Cuz you capture the Yep.
The 11 seat is whoever wins inthe 16th seat, whoever wins.
So yeah, we all have eight.
But literally just random.
It's completely random.
You can play yourself if yourun, like if you happen to get
the five and the 12.
Yeah, like whatever.
So yeah, everybody has eightteams and we put 20 bucks in per
family, and that looks fun.

(01:09:54):
So like, that's completelydifferent.
I'm in a select your or a blinddraw.
Um, you get one, one throughfour seed, one five through
eight seed, one nine through 12and one 13 through 16.
Um, so there's 16 guys in thatbracket.
Everybody gets four teams, onefrom each tier.

(01:10:16):
And it's also, I think thatone's only a surviving advance.
I don't think it's a spread, uh,coverage one.
So that's four.
Um, I'm in a seed multiplierbracket, that I've been in since
high school.
Woo.
Uh, so it's obviously you getbonus.
It's a bonus point, seeddifference.

(01:10:37):
Bonus point.
Yeah.
So if 11 seed beats a sixt toget six seed to get five bonus
points, uh, so you're rewarded.
Um, but obviously you don't getany points if they don't
advance.
Right.
So, um, that one and then Idon't even know, um, honestly,
and then I'm in two differentcollege wrestling brackets

(01:10:58):
because I've, I've kind offallen in love with college
wrestling as well.
Um, I enjoy watching the statetournament here in Iowa.
Obviously wrestling's big inIowa.
Um, Basketball has become.
Yeah.
Um, wrestling's always been bigin Iowa.
It was big as how po where Iwent to high school.
Um, we've been ranked nationallyat, in, at the high school level

(01:11:19):
for years.
Uh, and I've gotten into collegewrestling as well.
And that's, that's just as fun.
So I'm in a, a blind capturebracket, uh, for that as well as
a, um, kind of a multi pick emwhere you get a, a bank of
money, um, to select your, thoseare fun wrestlers.
So yeah.

(01:11:39):
So many.
Any any women's brackets?
Brackets?
Uh, I have filled out a women'sbracket, um, and my sister has a
group of people that are runningone.
So that is actually another onethat I am in, uh, in Denver, um,
for the group of people she hasout there.
Woo.
But I mean, for me to be fair,women's and I tell people this,

(01:12:02):
uh, you can go chalk, um, alittle bit that specifically
you're ones and twos for awhile.
Um, a women's seed has won 10years in a row.
So, I mean, to your point, thething that's gotten a much more,
uh, exciting about women'scollege basketball is just like
the last three years, probablythree to five years
specifically.

(01:12:22):
Um, the upsets, the mid-majorsare getting a lot closer.
Um, you know, they, they havehad one, one B to 16 in the
women's game, uh, and it was wayback in like 97.
Yeah.
Uh, of all, not recently likethe men's, but um, like South
Carolina is a heavy favorite inthe women's game, but I've

(01:12:44):
always told people and I watchmore women's basketball than
probably 95% of society, andthat might be low.
Um, because of my sister andbecause I grew up, um, watching
her coaching, um, high schoolbasketball and, and the works.
Um, that if I could consistentlybet one sport, um, I would

(01:13:05):
absolutely slay women's collegebasketball.

Stoy Hall (01:13:08):
So do it.
Um, you know, you

can bet on it, right?
Yeah.
But I mean, you can't get itconsistent.
Like you can't get enough to to,to consistently get it.
Like DraftKings, you can't getit at all.
Yeah.
Fdu, you can see it every oncein a while, but like, but you
don't get locally like bet Fredsdoes it.
Um, stuff like that.
I just, I'm not on enough appsand like, not evident enough

(01:13:31):
about it, but like, if it wasmainstream, like most of the
other stuff is, um, I would beon betting apps way more often
because one, I mean it's alittle bit more predictable, but
I also like, like I said, Iwatch those games more and the
more you watch, the more likethat game is easier to predict.

(01:13:51):
The more you watch matchups arejust so much bigger.
Yeah.
Um, than, you know, you know,there's certain teams that might
be like eight and nine, um,teams overall in the.
and this team just absolutely,there's no way their style is
ever gonna beat that team.
Yeah.
Uh, from a matchup perspective,um, you know, and there's other
ones you definitely gonna missonce in a while, but for the

(01:14:12):
most part, like the matchupsabsolutely matter and the styles
matter way more.
Um, so to me, like if you'rewilling to, to put the time in
and watch it, like one, it canbe an enjoyable, um, experience,
but two, you can also, like, youcan get a pretty good feel for
who's doing what,

Stoy Hall (01:14:30):
when, and why.
Yeah.
So let's talk about the two best12 seeds in both brackets.
Yeah.
Um, you know, honestly, DrakeUniversity on

the map.
Yeah.
Uh, getting a lot of love.
They were getting a lot of lovebefore they even had a matchup.
Yeah.
Which is great.
Nationally.

Stoy Hall (01:14:45):
Um, you know, the women, is it great getting the
love or getting in?
Come on.
No,

getting in is great.
Getting, getting the love, like,do you want, like, do you want
to be the low, I mean obviouslythe 12 five is the most, I mean,
we can just jump into it.
12 five is the most, talkedabout upset and they happen
every year.
Mm-hmm.
um, haven't happened as much thelast two years.
Actually, when I was looking,uh, 11 Seeds has actually had
quite a bit of his success.
13 seeds.

(01:15:11):
No, which is, did you know,

Stoy Hall (01:15:13):
did you know that the, the top upset seed, um, at
a, at a 51% clip nine eights.
Now, obviously you're gonna havethat be because they're Yeah.
So similar, but 51% in ironseeds beat eight, and then it's
like still a coincidence.
And then I think it's 12 fivesor.
30%.
Mm-hmm.
35%.
So pretty good clip.

(01:15:34):
Yeah.
And if you, I'm just saying thatas you go through your bracket,
which mm-hmm.
you probably have already done,is when you get down to that
and, and that's Yeah.
Where you're at.
I would probably lean towardsthe percentages.

Yeah.
And you have to see, um, youknow, kind of how the matchups
play out, how the brackets playout.
Um, this year, I think thebrackets we already knew going
in college, basketball parody,uh, first couple of rounds
specifically.
Definitely episode's gonnahappen.
The brackets are, um,

Stoy Hall (01:16:06):
I don't, they could have been better.
They're unbalanced.
Yeah.
They

could have been.
They could have been better.
Um, I don't like, however,geography or whatever it was
they were taking intoconsideration came into play.
Um, weird, overweight, um, somebrackets and made some brackets.
Completely weak.
I honestly think that the Iowateams all got good matchup

(01:16:35):
draws.
Um, not so much necessarily froma site draw perspective, but,

Stoy Hall (01:16:42):
and let's, uh, um, we'll get into that.
We'll pull up the chart.
Yeah.
We'll, uh, just wanted to get insome update.
Yeah.
Because there is a game goingon.
It has started.
It has started.
Um, and we've got the Islandersverse, the Red Hawks.

Um, it's 16 Southeast Missouri against, uh,
Texas Corpus Cor CorpusChristie.
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:17:02):
I, excuse me, I'm just gonna call'em the redhawks
and the Islanders.
All right.
Uh, Islanders are the Texasteam.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just gonna look.
We for records there.
Uh, we've got, uh, 19 and 16 forthe Red Hawks.
Yeah.
And 23 and 10 for the island.
Oh, yeah.
I'll

take the islanders.
Yeah.
Who they're

Stoy Hall (01:17:16):
up for.
Perfect.
As we speak.
Love it.
1248 left in the game.
Also tonight, the later game.
Oh, hold on.
Also breaking news.
Ohoh, Matt Ryan and Indian Lapisdecided to part ways.
They saved 17 million in capspace, so that is not a
surprise.
Matt Ryan's retiring.
Right?
Who knows.
Okay.
Um, but probably he'll probablysign with the Falcons, um, and

(01:17:38):
then retire.
God,

yeah.
Hopefully.
As, as, as our third string.

Stoy Hall (01:17:45):
Never know.
Wish he'd have been on the teamlast year.
Uh, any who, uh, the night gametonight is pit verse Mississippi
State, which is obviously thebetter of the two.
Yeah.
So,

and the winner of that game, uh, just to know.
Oh, good.
Good.
Let's, we'll play Iowa

Stoy Hall (01:17:58):
State.
Let's, yeah.
Let's get into it.
So let's, let's get into ourbracket a little bit.
Let's, we'll walk through this,obviously we're gonna put
together a, a joint bracketright here as we speak.
Yeah.
Live.
Um, the other will be, we'll putup our brackets next week.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and we'll go through roundby round and let you know how
that goes.

(01:18:19):
So, um, obviously let's stop at,start at.
Start the game that's live

right now.
Um, so Texas Corpus Christiplaying southeast Missouri for
the right, uh, to play into thenumber one overall seed, uh, in
the bracket in the south region,uh, Alabama.
Um, I mean that one's a pretty,yeah, that one's pretty cut and
dry.
Let's, let's, we'll

Stoy Hall (01:18:44):
cheers as we're getting into another segment.
Start of the segment.
Yeah.
Start of ma March madness.

Madness to the madness, to the mad madness.
Begin?

Stoy Hall (01:18:58):
Yep.
Mouthwash.
That's the best one.
The madness Begin.
Obviously Bain's gonna win thatone.
Let's, let's, yeah, let's notget crazy.
Nope, I've already done that.
Stop you all at

me.
All right.
So Alabama is the one, um, theyare going to take on the winner
of two out large teams, um, in,in very,

Stoy Hall (01:19:22):
do you remember how to zoom in case it's not too
good.
Nah, it's good.
Bloody, yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Uh,

difficult.
But, uh, conferences, we gotMaryland and Virginia, or West
Virginia, excuse

Stoy Hall (01:19:31):
me, probably in Thursday at, uh, 1215.
Yeah.
What do you, what do you feelabout this one?
Uh,

this is a matchup of two teams who are physical, uh,
who have beaten some top 25teams playing in, in some
tougher conferences.
Yep.
Uh, West Virginia.
Um, we're gonna see theirstrength and schedules fourth
for West Virginia.
Um, they have some guys that canscore, uh, a little bit higher,

(01:20:00):
or I, I'd say faster pace forthem.
Their squad this year, uh, havebeen known as a grinded out type
of team over the years.
Uh, still gonna play veryphysical, um, going to press and
stuff like that, but justplaying a little bit more, uh,
up pace on offense this yearthan they have been in the past.
Uh, I, I like West Virginia inthis game.

(01:20:21):
Um, you know, overall WestVirginia 19 and 14, one of the
worst records, uh, to get in asan at large.
But, uh, just too tough ofschedule and, and too many good
wins, uh, to keep them out ofthe tournament.
They weren't even ever reallyeven on the bubble.
Um, might have been on maybe oneof the first four or last four

(01:20:44):
in, but, uh, there was neverreally too much discussion
whether they were getting in.
They got in at a nine.
Yeah.
So, um, you know, 8, 9 50,what'd you say?
51%.
1% going to the nine seed.
Um, I dislike what West Virginiabrings here.
I don't think the physicalitythat is known in the Big 10, um,
is really a th like, that's notgonna overwhelm them or anything

(01:21:06):
like that.
Um, neither team is great.
Um, on the road or, and neitherteam has played a neutral site
game this year.
Um, West Virginia has one roadwin in the Big 12 and I think
Maryland had zero Yep.
Uh, in their last 10 games.
So I, yeah.

(01:21:27):
Uh, just one of those thingswhere I, I don't, I don't, I see
this being a tight game, but Ithink West Virginia fans a way
to pull it out.
I

Stoy Hall (01:21:35):
agree.
Um, this one I can go either waywith.
I really don't have a problem.
Yeah.
Um, I would play the odds moreon this one.
Uh, they just have played again,big 10, big 12, probably top two
conferences in the league.

Yeah.
I think this game will be a pickhim or dang close

Stoy Hall (01:21:49):
how cool he is.
I just think that overall WestVirginia is in better form and
really it shows just from thelast performances.
Yeah.
Look around here.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and so that's where I would,if you're gonna lean, I have to
lean on this one cuz it's apic.
Right.
I would agree to you with WestVirginia.
Now this is where a lot ofpeople are talking about, uh,

(01:22:11):
the first upset.
Yeah.
The first five 12.
12 five.
Mm-hmm.
um, on Thursday, um, happening.
How do you feel

about that?
So we've got San Diego State,the Aztecs, uh, playing the
Charleston, um, I dunno whatthey are.
College Charleston, um, SouthCarolina.
Um, it is the College of Char.
The coat.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
But I have no idea what theyare.
Yes.
I'm not, I'm not sure what they,what they are.
Um, the Cougars.

(01:22:40):
Cougars, love that.
Cougars, cougars, Aztecs, CS.
Um, this is a game of verydifferent pace and very
different style.
Yeah.
Um, college of Charleston wantsto play very fast.
They're 31 and three.
Um, we're 16 and two in theColonial Conference.

(01:23:03):
Won their conference, um, comingin as a 12 seed.
Uh, I think they're nine and onein their last 10, or no, 10 and
oh in their last 10.
Uh, San Diego state's nine andone, their only loss was to, uh,
Utah State, I believe Boise.

Stoy Hall (01:23:19):
Boise State.
Boise State.
Not a good one.

Um, not bad actually.
Well, Utah, up top, it's 62

Stoy Hall (01:23:25):
57.
Their last loss you said.
Oh, so they

lost to Boise State in the tournament then?
Yeah.
Um, either way.
Um, both teams playing goodbasketball.
Um, San Diego State, I believewon the regular season of the
Midwestern conference, if I'mnot mistaken.
Um, but lost in the championshipto Utah State flipped.

(01:23:49):
Um, so that's regular seasongame though?
Oh, that's not, yeah, it's notshowing the conference
tournaments on there.
Um, but either way, um, justcontrasting styles here.
I had this one picked in mybracket as an upset.
Um, simply from a, a pace ofplay standpoint, I really don't
have a feel on this game.

(01:24:09):
Strength of schedule throughoutthe year.
Uh, I am impressed by SouthDakota or South Dakota, San
Diego State's strength ofschedule is seventh.
Um, I don't know what wouldcause that to be so high.
The, the Mountain Westconference cannot be that good,
uh, for it to be seventh.
So what is this?

(01:24:29):
Uh, that's interesting to me.
Uh, I'm gonna say that'sinflated.
Uh, neither team has a top 25win this year.
Uh, net rank 51st for College ofCharleston, 14th for San Diego
State.
And I am still going to, to leantowards College of Charleston,
uh, being able to up the paceand, uh, outs quorn them.

Stoy Hall (01:24:52):
Yeah.
A lot of people are calling thisone up.
Said I, the thing I'll say aboutthat is 31 wins is impressive.
I don't care.
Huh?
Who?

I mean, so it's 27.
Don't get us wrong or

Stoy Hall (01:25:01):
what's happening there.
Um, but that, that's somethingto say that that's something to
say.
So if you want that 12 five,I'll take it.
Yeah.
Uh, you're, you know, I'll haveto overrule you at some point,
but I, I'm, I'm okay with thatone as well.
Um, a lot of pendants are alsocalling this next four, three,
uh, Virginia over Ferman.
Yeah.
Ferman over Virginia.

(01:25:21):
They're also calling this onetoo.
I, I disagree on this one.
I wholeheartedly disagree withthis one.
Okay.
I don't know if people havewatched,

uh, lately.
Yeah.
Virginia's playing betterbasketball finally.
I think they're healthy.
Uh, I think they've kind offigured out, uh, some things.
So I think we're on Virginiahere.
Yeah.
Um, I don't think we need to, toget too deep in here in Six
State Creighton six 11.
Uh, this has been one 11 Seeds,like I said, have been very
successful in the last severaltournaments.

(01:25:49):
Mm-hmm.
um, making deep runs.
Um, we're not talking about, youknow, winning a game or an
upset.
We're talking about making EliteEight type of runs.
Uh, so, you know, NC State justisn't the team in my mind that's
going to do that.
Uh, struggled a little bit downthe stretch.
Uh, don't have a lot ofimpressive victories.

(01:26:10):
Uh, I think Creighton's playedin a lot tougher overall
conference, um, and a lottougher games.
I agree.
Um, and so therefore, um, Ijust, I don't, I don't CNC
state, uh, getting this done,uh, credence healthy.

(01:26:32):
Um, and I I, I'm not seeing theupset on the six 11 in this
game.
No,

Stoy Hall (01:26:38):
I concur in that.
Um, the next one people are, Ihaven't have heard much about
Baylor in this one.
Obviously Baylor's gonna winthis one.

Yeah.
Baylor's healthy.
They're playing uc.
Santa Barbara, right?
Um, also a really good team.
Um, might give them a scare inthe first half, but, um, Baylor
has all of their pieces backtogether finally.
Yes.
Uh, their big man's back.
Healthy, their guards arehealthy.
Um, well, you know, that mightbe some foreshadowing for what I
feel about Baylor moving throughthe tournament, but, um, yeah,

(01:27:07):
they're Baylor running away now.
Uh, very intriguing game here.
This one.
Um, I like this one.
Two really, actually, reallycompelling styles.
Mm-hmm.
um, very similar.
Um, you have two teams that Ithink have kind of gotten, I
mean, Missouri specifically hasgotten healthy.

(01:27:28):
They finished 24, 9, 11 andseven in the s e c, uh, Utah
State won the mountain.
That's, yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:27:36):
So we're good.
And we're good.
And we're back.
I mean, live wise, we've beenhere

four.
Missouri was 24 and nine.
and 11 and seven in the S E cUtah State, 26 and eight, 13 and
five in the mountain West UtahState.
Uh, ran through the mountainwest.
Uh, won the conference.
Tournament, got themselves atene.

(01:28:01):
They were on the bubble.
Uh, it looked like they weregonna be last four in regardless
of championship result, but younever know.
Uh, ask, ask Ru Rutgers inOklahoma State how they feel
about that.
Yeah, no shit.
Um, couple of teams that thatfeel like they might have got,
uh, shunned a little bit, but,uh, Utah State can shoot it.
Uh, Missouri can also shoot it.
Missouri loves to get up anddown.

(01:28:23):
Uh, you know, 40% almost fromthree for Utah State.
Uh, 36% from Missouri.
So these are two teams, uh, Ilook forward to a shootout in
this one.
A tough game for me to call.
Um, Kobe Brown is Missouri'sstud, um, actually named after

(01:28:44):
or for Kobe Bryant.
Um, he's a, a big dude that, uh,can get to the rim but also can
shoot.
They got a couple other guysthere that can get up and down.
And then Utah State just, Imean, that's just the way they
play.
Uh, they're gonna run the floor.
They're gonna spread five guysthat can shoot the three.
And I have Utah State winningthis game.

(01:29:07):
Uh, in I think a majority of mybrackets.
I think I might have Missouricoming out in won.
These are two teams that are, itdoesn't matter who wins this
game, um, they are gonna givethe two seed trouble.
Um, whether they can upset'em ornot, I don't know.
I like both of these teams.
I hate that we have to pick.

(01:29:27):
My Leann is Utah State, justbeing a little bit better at
shooting the basketball andprobably a little bit better at
taking care of the basketball.
But I mean, we're talking aboutboth teams, averaging 79 points
a game and Utah State giving up,you know, five point lets, five
points less a game.
So I'm gonna lean towards that,uh, just

Stoy Hall (01:29:46):
a little bit.
That's, and that's what I'mdoing.
My, my stats, there's two statshere.
I'm looking at opponents,opponents points per game.
Mm-hmm.
and then I'm looking at threepoint percentage.
Oh.
And when I get to a, a gamethat's like, hey, it pick them.
Where were we at?
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna rely on those twostats and both of them line up
for me.
Yeah.
So I'm going to Utah State.
All

right.
Utah State is with a, uh, asmall upset.
Yeah.
Lake Missouri will be favored inthat game, but not by a lot.
Uh, so Utah State with smallupset in that game, moving to
the two 15 game, Arizona as thetwo seed in the south bur, uh,
region.
And they will take on the IvyLeague champion Princeton

(01:30:26):
Tigers.
Yeah.
This one's not gonna

Stoy Hall (01:30:28):
be close.

Um, yeah, I, I mean I think that, uh, you know, if
Princeton does somethingdifferent or comes out and
throws Utah stays favorite rightnow by the, uh, uh, throws a
wrench in something, you know,maybe Arizona takes a little bit
to recover, but Arizona Statehas too many athletes, uh, I
think they end up pulling awayin that game.
Yeah.
Um, in the south region.
So south region is done.

(01:30:52):
Do we wanna move through regionsall the way, or do we wanna go
one at a time?

Stoy Hall (01:30:55):
No.
Oh, do one on time.
We'll do it one more time.
All right.
We'll go stage by stage.

Uh, next region.
East region.

Stoy Hall (01:31:01):
East to the east number.
East to east.
Geez.
Stop moving number one.

Wait.
Um, what?
I think we need to go Midwestnext.
We'll go Midwest.
See if we're going in

Stoy Hall (01:31:12):
order.
Okay.
Midwest Houston, north Kentucky.
Now the thing about Houston, Iwe're going with it.
You've already

decided so Well, no, no.
I'm trying to go in order of howthe NCA seated them.
I don't give a shit.
No, that's right.
No, it's not.
Craig was late.
No.
Houston's number two overallseat though.
Oh, that's true.
I couldn't see, I can't seebecause of the camera.
Who's up there?
Uh, so number one or number onein the Midwest, Houston.

Stoy Hall (01:31:37):
Um, they're, they're their be best players

hurt.
They're the number two overallseed though.
And the reports from everyoneare the sasser positive is going
to come back.
He did warm up

Stoy Hall (01:31:49):
play.
He just didn't wanna play.
Why would he play in thechampionship?
I, no, I don't.
He would not

know that he'll play in the first round.
I don't think they need him toplay in the first round.
No.
Um, I think he'll warm up again.
Mm-hmm.
Um, I think he'll practice to apoint.
Um, I, if he plays, I'd besurprised.
Uh, they are going to need himin round two in order to make a
run.
Uh, he is the difference betweenHouston being one of the number

(01:32:15):
one seeds that gets upset earlyversus Houston being a potential
national.
Uh, and it's that big, uh,Houston.
Is that good?
They are deep enough to bereally good without him.
Thank you.
Uh, but they need him.
He got hurt last year and wasout for the year, uh, or most of
the year.
So it was really crappy to seehim go down, um, when he did.

(01:32:37):
It's a groin injury.
Um, we all know that those suck.
Did you see it too?
Oh yeah.
I mean, he just, he slipped onthe floor next

Stoy Hall (01:32:46):
day.
The next day I had to go do, um,I, I just decided to do like
some side shuffles.
Mm-hmm.
and like, you just feel it.
I had to because I felt like Iwas hurt.
Like I watched it.
I

was like, I needed to do it for him.
I need to make sure I'm good.
Yeah, yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:32:59):
Um, let

alone him.
But yeah.
So Houston, uh, the one seed,we, they're playing northern
Kentucky.
Uh, don't need to dive too deepinto that.
Houston, Houston advancing thisone for the Iowa

Stoy Hall (01:33:09):
folks.
Yeah.
Here we go.
First Iowa team in, by the way,there's three of them.
So,

uh, eight, nine.
We've got the Hawks.
Uh, 1913 overall.
11 and nine in the Big 10, uh,they ended up being, uh, an
eight seat overall in thetournament.
Had a chance to be significantlyhigher had they won their last
game and or won a couple ofgames in the Big 10 tournament.

(01:33:35):
They did not.
Um, which has been theirkryptonite.
Um, overall is shooting on theroad.
They're playing Auburn, however,Who is categorically,
categorically worse on the roadthan Iowa.
However, Auburn somehow as anine seed against an eight seed,

(01:33:56):
gets to play two and a halfhours from home.
Um,

Stoy Hall (01:34:00):
the whole Midwest bracket from a, from a like a
location standpoint doesn't

make any DM sense.
No damn sense.
So this is the Midwest, first ofall, we'll talk about it when we
get to the West, but Kansasshould have been the Midwest
seed here, uh, over Houston andthey weren't.
But however, the

Stoy Hall (01:34:19):
Des Moines in the west bracket, correct.
Make that

make sense?
Yeah.
Yes.
Um, so again, I don't, I don'tknow how old that works.
I don't, I'm not gonna pretendto however, uh, Iowa, Auburn,
uh, Auburn 20 and 12, 10 andeight in the s e c, uh, two
completely different styles.
Iowa 80 points a game.
Auburn 72, Iowa gives up 74points a game, uh, Auburn only

(01:34:42):
67 earlier this year.
Uh, just to give you a littlebit of reference, um,
Northwestern shouldn't be Auburn42 to 40, like very early in the
season.
82 total points.
So that tells you how, like,what that's style like.

(01:35:04):
That's the Auburn.
I mean, we can see right here,Tennessee Auburn, which two very
defensive teams.
46 43.
This is not the pace Iowa wantsto play at.
No.
Um,

Stoy Hall (01:35:14):
and when they do, it doesn't

bode well.
If Iowa can play in the highseventies to eighties, Iowa's
going to win this game.
Oh Lord.

Stoy Hall (01:35:25):
I didn't know that, by

the way.
Yeah, I mean, good.
Right.
So the thing is, is Iowa is twovery, very different teams, um,
on the road versus at home, butso is Auburn.
But when we look at shootingstatistics, um, overall, Iowa is

(01:35:48):
a 34% three point shooting team.
Auburn is a 31% three pointshooting team.
That's 175th and 321st in thecountry.
The other item that comes intoplay here is that Iowa's like 40
plus percent at home and like 25to 27% on the road.

(01:36:11):
So like there, I mean we'retalking drastically different.
This is a neutral site, eh?
It is, it is.
And here's the thing is thatIowa fans, so Bartol, Iowa has
reached out to Barstow, Alabama.
Alabama absolutely hates Auburn.
We know how big a rivalry thisis in football to show up

(01:36:32):
because I mean, there's probablynot a lot of people traveling to
watch Alabama.
whoever wins tonight and whoeverwins the Maryland, West Virginia
game.
No.
I mean, there's gonna be somethat come, but like there's a
much better chance that anAlabama fan base can show up and
root against Auburn.
So Iowa is pulling from thosefans.
Um, and Iowa will travel decent,not great, but decent.

(01:36:57):
Um, so there's a chance that youhave a relatively neutral to,
you know, maybe only 60 40versus like 80 20 than it would
be if anybody was really cared,uh, if these weren't football
schools instead of basketballschools.
Uh, you know what I mean?
Like, uh, so I am taking Iowasimply because it's the lesser,

(01:37:18):
somewhat lesser of two evilshere.
I, I hope it's Iowa, because Ithink the game will be more
entertaining if Iowa wins.
So I,

Stoy Hall (01:37:26):
I don't feel that way.
Okay.
Um, so this will be aninteresting one for us to come
back to.
Yeah.
I, I did the, the form thatIowa's in is not good and, and I
want to point this out.
Mm-hmm.
um, overall

is you see what Auburn's last 10 games are.
Yeah.
But do you see how many roadgames I Auburn's won?
No,

Stoy Hall (01:37:49):
I get that.
But I don't think the roadthing, I don't think that
matters.

Like eventually they're gonna win one.
Well,

Stoy Hall (01:37:54):
that they do st statistics, but also I just
don't think a away matters inthe NCAA tournament.
I think that gets wiped outpersonally.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, but the form you're in fromtaking Alabama to, to OT
Tennessee, and I don't rememberwhat they did in term, nor does
this show us, which is stupid.
It was a rivalry game, but allthese teams are in and they've

(01:38:14):
played well.
Um, I, I can't say, I can't saythat here.

No, but if you look at the teams, Iowa's lost to
this year.
I'm not talking

Stoy Hall (01:38:22):
about this year.
I'm just talking about the lastfive.
Let's talk All I'm

talking No, I'm just talking about in general and I'm
gonna agree with you on this, isthat Iowa has lost the teams
that they should beat Correct.
And beat the teams.
So like if you look at the tophalf of the Big 10, Iowa was
like, let's call it 75% winningpercentage.
And they lost, they were like20% winning, winning percentage
against teams like nine to 14 inthe Big 10.

(01:38:49):
They've lost a bad teams andbeat the good teams.
Auburn's not a good team.
So that's where, that's where mylean is Auburn, until I see how
bad Auburn is when they're notplaying at home.
This could be a really bad

Stoy Hall (01:39:03):
game.
Bad game.

Yeah.
Who wins a bad game?
I mean, I'm, that, that's theonly reason I lean to Iowa
because I don't think eitherteam.
unless Iowa somehow gets hot ata neutral site, I don't think
either team can give Houston.
Oh, even remotely a game.
This team,

Stoy Hall (01:39:21):
whoever comes out's losing.

The thing is, is if Saar doesn't play, there's a
chance Iowa has a better chanceat beating Houston than Auburn
does.
Correct.
Because of style of play.
But do they get out of it?
And, and that's, that's what allIowa fans are talking about.
That's what all the pundits aretalking about is so true.
Tyre, I think either way thatwe're going to have to agree
whether we agree to disagree alittle bit that Houston's moving

(01:39:46):
on.
So that game doesn't reallymatter overall and it's an end
state.
So we're probably, we'reprobably taking to Iowa,

Stoy Hall (01:39:53):
we'll, we'll lean to Iowa just cuz of being in state.
But I, we'll be, I want you toknow in every bracket I've took
Auburn.
We'll we'll be fan girls justlike the next game.
Yeah.
And every bracket I have takenthe one to know Bulldogs, drap
bulldogs.
Now this being said, we can diveinto it a little bit and, and
not too much overall becauseYeah.
One unknown that Miami has hisproblems, their big man's hurt.

(01:40:15):
Yeah.
Will he be available if he is?
Well we have a little moretrouble cuz our big man aren't,
I mean, when Brody's on, he's onmm-hmm.
when he is off, he's off.
Yeah.
And

so with, but the nice thing with Drake is that
they actually have a backup.
Center they can go to this year,who can give them good, good
visit.
Good minutes.
Absolutely.
Um,

Stoy Hall (01:40:37):
and, and wanna go to my stats that I'm talking about?
Yeah.
Um, opponents, uh, scoring pergame.
Uh, clearly that's a, that's a8.3% square spread.
Mm-hmm.
and our three point percentageis, is way hotter and we've been
hotter shooting lately.
Yeah.
Um, and the right people arescoring.
So, um, I don't think that bowsas well for Miami as everyone

(01:41:01):
thinks.
I think it's very, very hot forus.
Um, and a lot of people arepicking us to upset them.
So they are, um, good for

us.
I think we both agree that Drakeis gonna move on.
I will quickly say just becauseit's who Drake is playing, um,
Miami, if they get past Drakehas a good route.
Yeah.
Whoever wins this game has a, anextremely legitimate chance at
making not only the Sweet 16,but an Elite eight, especially

(01:41:32):
south.
Um, this region is completely upfor grabs.
Uh, it is the weakest region inmy opinion.
Uh, overall, uh, from a top tobottom perspective, um, you
know, if you want to call itmost competitive, whatever the
hell you want to call it, tospin it, but Miami has two to
three guards that can score.

(01:41:54):
They love to pressure thebasketball.
If Drake can handle thepressure, Drake can win this
game.
Right.
If Drake can't handle thepressure, Drake can get blown
out of this game.
Yeah.
If the Miami big man plays, it'sa huge difference.
Simply because that's anotheroutlet for Miami to go to if
Drake's pressuring the threepoint line, uh, less likelihood
of being able to throw a junkzone, anything like that.

(01:42:16):
And also Drake is actually, likeDrake has depth this year.
Um, it's why they've beensuccessful late in the season.
They're eight deep.
Yeah.
Um, they're able to play eightguys with trust and they have
shooters, and they have grindersand they have Rebounders and
they have a stud in Tucker.

(01:42:37):
And so all of those thingsremind me of the Lolo run from
two years ago.
Mm-hmm.
last year, two years ago.
Two, two years ago.
Um, and so like that's theoptimist in me.
Um, the pessimist is that Miamihas a chance of making an elite
eight.
You're not, you're not wrong ifthey beat Drake.

(01:42:58):
So does Drake though.
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:42:59):
So does Drake, in my opinion, 0% chance we were gonna
pick Miami.
Yeah.
Uh, Indiana Kin state, some havecalled this one an upset.
I don't, I don't, I don't seeit.
Someone has to talk me into thisone.
Um, we can't go and we do haveto speed along.
We have a lot of games to getthrough.
Right.
Um, I don't see this onepersonally.
If you have a different point ofview, stop me.

(01:43:19):
Um,

Indiana shoots better, but Kent State can
defend.
Um, so if Indiana doesn't shootit well and Kent State is able
to get up and down points pergames are about the same and
it's just tough.
But overall, like I have KentState in this game.
Okay.
But I'm gonna let you overrideme on this one because in the

(01:43:41):
last one, that's not, I justdon't trust Indiana ultimately.
No, I don't either.

Stoy Hall (01:43:44):
And this is why we talked about this bracket.
Yeah.
I also have them losing nextround to, to

whoever comes up to Drake or Miami.
I don't care either

Stoy Hall (01:43:51):
one.
Yep.
So, and we'll get to that, uh,

as we go Iowa State playing the 11 seed playin game.
So we don't, I love Iowa Stateregardless of matchup.
Mm-hmm.
uh, I think Iowa State of thethree schools got the best draw.
I do too.
Um, they got 11 seed draws.
Mississippi State playedactually in Des Moines and Drake
dismantled their ass.

(01:44:15):
Healthy and Pit does not playdefense.
Uh, they've got an older squad,but they play kind of an up
tempo similar to Baylor.
Yeah.
And Iowa State was three and ohagainst Baylor this year.
Um, so Iowa State's probablyrooting for Pit, but if they get
Mississippi State, like they'llknow Drake beat the shit out of
him.
They did.
I don't really.

(01:44:36):
which is, I like Iowa Statemoving on here.
Yeah, I do too.
I do too.
Um, Xavier Kennesaw State.

Stoy Hall (01:44:41):
I, I don't, some are calling this one.
I I just think it's the onlyform of Xavier, but

Yeah.
Xavier, and we're not gonna seeit here.
They lost a two, Marquette 12Who, who is on fire buzzsaw
right now.
Yeah.
Right.
And we'll talk about them.
But the other thing is, saveyours second best player or
second best player is gone.
Yeah.
Um, and they have not played thesame since the Marquette game
and or the tournament.
And so that being said, um, it'sKennesaw State.

(01:45:12):
They lost eight games.
Um, they lost three games inAtlantic Sun.
Um, Xavier didn't lose to badteams when they lost.
This isn't, I don't see Xavierlosing this game.
No.
And

Stoy Hall (01:45:22):
that's what I, I want everyone to realize, like their
shooting percentage is huge.
And when I started doingresearch, like I heavily on
this, this is

huge.
I mean, their best playersfeeding into that, but at the
same point, they lost some

Stoy Hall (01:45:35):
depth and they're not in this form.
No.
But could they get hot againstKen State and go on a run?
Yeah, absolutely.

I don't see, but this isn't the game they're
losing.
I don't see them losing thatgame.
No, this isn't the, this isn'tthe one.
Yep.
I say in Penn State.
Oh, oof.

Stoy Hall (01:45:49):
Uh, I don't know if you guys decided to watch the
Big 10 Championship or not.
I did.
Mm-hmm.
I, I like me some.
Penn State.
Yeah, I really do.
Um, I think two of, they'reshooting very, very well.
Texas a and M's.
Been, um, I mean they, they hada great year.
They, they did have a greatyear.

(01:46:10):
Um, to be fair, the last time Iwatched'em was in the Bama game
and I just, it wasn't, it wasn'ta good game to watch of them.

So that's, I think Penn, Penn State is built for
this tournament, the way thattheir team is built.
Yeah, I agree.
Um, I think you and I are on thesame page here.
We're gonna even need to go intodepth too much on, I think we're
both taking Penn Saint in thisgame.
I think it's true.
Uh, which is scary.
Uh, a little bit.
So that'll happen.
Texas, Colgate, Texas, ah,Texas.
We don't even need, no.

(01:46:36):
Alright.
East, uh, end of the east numberthree or no, actually yeah, it
doesn't matter.
But is three, because

Stoy Hall (01:46:43):
Kansas was the last cause I was sitting here

going, but they were technically the number three.
It would just, they were nevergonna send Kansas East.
No.
Um, but so technically Purdue'sthe fourth overall seed.
Yes, Purdue, uh, Purdue is goingto win.
Um, I've said there thisMemphis, f a u might be the best
matchup, uh, net rank for F A Ufor those out there.

(01:47:07):
31 and three 18 and two.
Overall in conference usa theyare 13 net rank and wooey.
The thing is, they haven'tplayed anybody in the top 25.
So what's your metric based offof is the question there?
Hundred ninth schedule, rank.
Memphis has the woo.
Memphis looks in.
They're looking good.

(01:47:27):
They're hitting their stride atthe right time.
Um, played well end the seasonand play.
Played well, uh, to, to wintheir conference championship.
Um, neither team shoots itparticularly well from three,
but both of them are feasible.
Um, who do you have in New York?
My lean's.

(01:47:48):
Memphis.
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:47:49):
I have Memphis.
I have Memphis in every

bracket and I think producing trouble.
I I, no matter who, no matter

Stoy Hall (01:47:55):
who wins.
We'll get to that next week.
Uh, duke.
We'll get to it.
Or Roberts.
Duke is hot.
Yeah, they're healthy.
It's actually the hottest teamin the nation right now when
Duke has played.
They've got two, seven footersthat could be

point guards when Duke has played all of, when all
of Duke's rotational players onethrough seven or eight have been
healthy.
Dukes 17 and one this year andundefeated at home.
Um, they're healthy right nowand they're playing well.
But Oral Roberts is a good Yes.
Freaking basketball team.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and that's the tough partabout this.

(01:48:29):
They put up points, they average84 points.
Just a couple.
Um, that's just a couple pointshere, but, uh, I think
ultimately, The size andultimately the, the talent of
Duke overcomes.
Um, I've got Duke making alittle bit of a run here, but
simply because the bracketsucks.
Don't tea, don't tease that thebracket sucks.

(01:48:50):
I know, but don't tease that theeast might be worse than the

Stoy Hall (01:48:52):
Midwest.
That let's not tease that.
All right.
Tennessee, uh, Lafayette nowLafayette has lost to the one
and only Drake University.
Mm-hmm.
just put it out there.

Tennessee's defense man.
Uh, 58 points a game.
58 points.
They can't shoot for shit.

Stoy Hall (01:49:07):
No, they can't.
Um, they have a

tough time shooting.
I don't know who Lafayette hasin general, if they have some
shooters and the shooters gethot, it's fine from three, they
shoot 38% from three and only68% from the line.
So that, like, they better notdrive.
Tells me that like that.
But they're, they're a primetournament upset team.
Mm-hmm.
because simply because of thatmetric, they get hot, they're
hot.

(01:49:30):
Um, so I don't know who theyhave.
Like if they have a guy that's a25 point a game score doesn't
matter.
Um, I think Tennessee ultimatelylocks'em down and wins this
game.
Tennessee's point guard is outfor the season.
Yeah.
Um, and that will definitely,uh, affect this bracket and I,
in my opinion, Tennessee shouldnot have been a four seed.
I agree.
Um, but here they are.

Stoy Hall (01:49:50):
Which is, which is back to the Duke thing.
Yeah.
Um, alright.
Kentucky Providence.

Yeah.
Um, Another game that's a tossup.
A couple of teams who have beenmiddling, toss up, Kentucky's
gone back and forth.
Um, Providence has lost quite afew close games.
Um, they've lost a couple ofgames lately that they

(01:50:16):
controlled in the first half andthen lost in the second half.
Um, big East I think is asleeper.
Uh, just overall, uh, from aconference perspective, um, I
think there's a lot of goodteams in the Big East.
A lot of good value there.
I don't agree so much with the SE c.
Oh, I'm not, I don't trustKentucky.

Stoy Hall (01:50:35):
I don't trust, I don't trust any s sec

school.
But let's be real.
I mean, overall I've gotProvidence in this game.
It's my one.
I didn't have any other elevens.
Uhhuh.
if I'm being honest.
Your 11?
I don't either.
So this is my 11.
Okay.
Um, if you wanna go that route,I rev it.
I don't hate it.
I don't think either team'sadvancing from there, but Nope,
I don't either.
Uh, I've got Kansas State overMontana State.
Uh,

Stoy Hall (01:50:56):
I just, I just wanna put this up there for everybody,
but there's no way KansasState's losing this game.
So let's, let's be honest, uh, Imeant to click that.

All right.
Um, Kansas State meeting onMichigan State, usc, a lot of

Stoy Hall (01:51:13):
people talking about this

one.
I don't, my lane's usc, itsounds like your lean might be
the opposite.
Michigan State.
Yep.
Um, which if you look at the twometrics, I mean points for gamer
directly even correct.
This, and Michigan state'ssignificantly better shooting,
uh, shooting the basketball andtournaments.
If you want to overtake, that'sfine.

(01:51:36):
Uscs just very long and I thinkcan cause Michigan State some
problems, uh, overall.
And then lastly, Marquette,Vermont.

Stoy Hall (01:51:44):
Hey, Vermont has both their men's and Women's Inn.
Yeah.
Shout it out.
That's legit.
Absolutely.
Only good teams do that.
Marquette did it.
And

then in the biggest egregiousness of the tournament,
we, we moved to the west region.
Can we

Stoy Hall (01:51:59):
like the west, west region?
Kansas is in the west.
Let's just talk about

that.
First of all, ca so Kansas gotscrewed.
Uh, they got however they'replaying in Des Moines.
Right.
But I mean, that's early, that'swhen it doesn't matter.

Stoy Hall (01:52:11):
I know, but like why wouldn't they get Midwest
throughout?

Right.
But when we look at the teams,it's gonna matter overall
because the west, so the, theeast of the Midwest are two very
open brackets.
Uh, depending on who you think'sgonna get hot, what might
happen, the upsets are gonna bethere.
I think.
Um, the west, the south issolid.
The south is fine.
That's fine.
The west is absolutely loadedand the bottom half of the west

(01:52:38):
is unfair.
It's so bonkers.
Um, there are legitimately fiveteams I think can win a national
championship out of 16 teams inthe.
I'm right with you.
There might be two other teamscombined.
Yeah.
It'll be, that's how unfairlyseated I think the west was.

Stoy Hall (01:52:57):
This will be interesting to see how we talk
through this because Absolutely

insane.

Stoy Hall (01:53:02):
It's insane.
And I don't, I I, from acommittee standpoint, I, I get
what you're doing, but I, Idon't agree

that you can't move.
You can't.
So Purdue the fourth overallseed Kansas is the third overall
seed going west, which fine,you're not gonna move Kansas
east to send Purdue West becauseyou're still penalizing Kansas.
Right.
The problem overall is the bra.

(01:53:33):
I mean we're, we will see hereas we go through.
So Kansas, Howard, we got Kansasmoving on, not love, love from
Howard.
That's fine.
Not even a discussion.
Arkansas, Illinois.
I'm just gonna let you pick thisone.
Bang.

Stoy Hall (01:53:46):
Um, I can't, I literally picked this one on the
fact that nine seeds beat eightseeds.
51%.
So you want tell him I lit.
That was literally what I camedown to.

What, uh, what's, what's Illinois shoot from?
Three 30.9?
I mean, they're relatively shit.
Neither team can shoot thethree.
Yeah.
Illinois got length.
They both suck at free throws.
Um, this is even,

Stoy Hall (01:54:07):
this is even, I'll

take, they're even across the board.
We'll take Illinois then.
I had Arkansas and a couple inIllinois and a couple, it
doesn't matter to me, I think.
Mm.
Kansas moving on either way.
Um, don't really care.
I'm not, I'm not concerned aboutKansas and Des Moines.
No.
Which is why I, you know,another game of the tournament.
Here we go.
Here we go again.

(01:54:30):
St.
Mary's 26 and seven.
Overall West Coast Conference.
Uh, second place, uh, toGonzaga.
They were 14 and two, uh, losthandedly to Gonzaga in the
championship, but did beat themonce earlier on.
That's in the year.
That's cute.
I also think they took them toOT once, uh, if I remember
correctly.

Stoy Hall (01:54:49):
That's San Diego, which is

right.
Um, but St.
Mary's solid five seed, uh, gota lot of respect this year, uh,
for their overall.
Um, and then you have vcu, whichsomewhat biased.
I watched VCU U go through the A10.
I did too.
And they look good.
Uh, they look and they look,they looked like they had each

(01:55:13):
position for the, they lookedlike a successful Cinderella.
They looked like what I've seenmove through an n NCAA
tournament because they have apoint guard.
Yep.
They have that wing that'sathletic and they have just
enough around the rim and get alot of offensive rebounds.
And they're scrappy.
Press you all all, and they'rejust in your shorts.

(01:55:34):
All game in your shorts.
And I like the, I'm gonna takethat style of basketball.
over a West coast stylebasketball.
Absolutely.
In the n ncaa tournamentespecially.
Rounds 10 times outta 10 everytime.
Uh, unfortunately we're both onvcu sorry, Rams.
Uh, so you'll

Stoy Hall (01:55:51):
probably lose that game.
Yeah.
But no, that's, that is one ofmy heaviest 12 fives.
Yeah.
Personally,

love the 12, absolutely love the 12 seats in
this shirt.
Oh, they're

Stoy Hall (01:56:00):
so good.
Good.
Um,

wish they were different.
Yukon, Iona, uh, Iona, anotherex, uh, much expressed upset.
Oh yes.
The thing is, is Ionas matchupwith Yukon is not a good one.
In my opinion.
Yukon is long.
They lead the nation inoffensive rebounding.
Um, they don't give up a ton ofpoints overall.
I mean, it's a pretty much awash as far as points per game

(01:56:24):
versus points allowed betweenthese two Yukon rebounds, their
misses.
Like, it's like 50% of the time.

Stoy Hall (01:56:33):
It's, it's a stupid, it's absurd.
It, it really is.
Uh, but this is my 13 over four.
Like the only one I could thinkof.
Huh.
And it's because of Iona.
And I watched them, um,throughout their term.
I'm

gonna have to fight for Yukon here because, no, no,
go ahead.
No, I'm fine with it.
I'm just saying future bracket

Stoy Hall (01:56:49):
of the 1 13 4.
I had.
This is the only one I really,really, really felt and saw
because I watch a lot of Iona.
That's, and, and that's, andthat's the purpose for it.
But I'm good with Yukon.
I really don't have

a problem with it at all.
I, I think Yukon makes, um, adeeper run.
So I, I have to go against that.
They can, um, Arizona State,Nevada.
Nevada, uh, Nevada.
Nevada's, I in Iowa, Nevada's inLas Vegas.
Make that make sense.
Um, I, Arizona State's a,they're a gritty team.
Yeah.
For the Pac 12.
They're super inconsistent,though.

(01:57:23):
TCU is finally relativelyhealthy.
Yeah.
Um, I think that Arizona Stateadvances over Nevada, but I
think that TCU played in a toughconference, injured most of the
year, and they're somewhathealthy.
Finally.
Um, I think TCU advances here.
I agree.
I agree.
Uh, Gonzaga, grand Canyon.

(01:57:44):
Oh, grand Canyon's.
Sneaky, um, sneaky.
They don't really play anybody,but they can shoot the damn
rock.
I mean, both t both these teamsshoot at 38%.
Um, Gonzaga just inside is goingto dominate Grand Canyon.
It was just this one that gotme.
Yep.
So overall Gonzaga moves on.
It was that

Stoy Hall (01:58:04):
one that got me.
I was like, that's, that'sabsurd,

right?
Uh, just a tough matchup man.
This matchup.
Yeah.
Northwestern Boise State.
Um, I don't know how long youwanna stay on this game.
I'm on Northwestern here.
I

Stoy Hall (01:58:17):
don't have to stay very long, but I'm just, I want
everyone to know it.
It's coin.

Yeah.
I mean, Boise State shoots itwell from three, about 37%.
Uh, Northwestern Streaky only32, but they've got two guards
that are really solid.
Um, I

Stoy Hall (01:58:30):
just think big, and that's what I don't know enough
about Boise to like defendagainst.
Right.
Which is why I've, I've

picked Northwestern.
I also just think that likeNorthwestern, like you're in the
tournament.
They don't get in the tournamentvery often.
They're playing with a chip.
They're not a, nor they're notlike a Michigan State who might
be overlooking, or a, aWisconsin who might be
overlooking, like they're a teamgoing in.
Like we're doing everything wecan.
They're to feel like an underdoggoing, going into this game.
I have, I have no qualms there.
And ucla.

(01:58:56):
Yep.
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (01:58:58):
Uh, and, and that's where we sit for now.
All right.
Right.
Let's let, I mean, we, we willdiscuss, let's see where it says
halftime text A and M's Up.
Six.
Okay.
Oka.
Corpus Christi.
Corpus Christi up six.
So this is where we siteveryone, if you want to.
Yep.
I can get it all in there.
Uh, check it out.
Right now as our joint bracketagain, we have, we haven't set

(01:59:19):
the bet against our head headcuz we still don't know where, I
mean, we, our Brexit,

we pick their game because it's gonna happen before
our next broadcast.
Oh shit.

Stoy Hall (01:59:26):
That's right.
Um, but I have to really pee.
Yeah.

That makes two of

Stoy Hall (01:59:30):
us.
Yeah.
Okay.
Quick break.
Quick break.
However, uh, we will set ourbets after as well as second
round.
Let's we, the, the pressing partof like, let's get through this.
Tell me about it because.

(02:01:54):
Uh, which is, which is dope,right?
To get Nike.

Well, there's definitely between the men and
the women, like there's a.
Very few over overlap overlapsbetween like, like the somewhat
different times, which is

Stoy Hall (02:02:12):
really, really, really good.
Mm-hmm.
but that's a lot of basketball.
All right.
Round two.
Round two.
Here we go.
Uh, Purdue, Memphis.
So man, we talked about, Ireally like, this is a very,
very, very, very tough pick.
Mm-hmm.
for me.
Mm-hmm.
um, again watching Memphis andI'll watch for Purdue throughout

(02:02:32):
too.
Yeah.
Um, and everyone talks aboutplayer of the year, Edie,
outside of him.

They're beautiful.
I mean, ultimately it comes downto Memphis, the style of game
that gets played.
If Purdue is able to play a halfcourt game,

Stoy Hall (02:02:55):
it's over.
Mm-hmm.
Memphis gets out and runs,

which, which Memphis is only chance to win to speed
the game up.

Stoy Hall (02:03:00):
Edie.
Edie gets taken outta the game,he cannot keep up.
Mm-hmm.
and they'll learn that they'llhave to go small ball and
they're small ball against one'sagainst their, I guess if you
wanna call'em twos.
I've like, I Eileen Memphis

on that.
I mean, Memphis is, is my leanhere as well.
It's just so, but again, um, Idon't, the thing that I like, if
I'm looking at it, uh, bigpicture is f a u has a good
chance to be in Memphis in thefirst round.
Um, and I say good chance,meaning that it's a coin flip

(02:03:35):
game.
It is coin flip.
Uh, whereas Purdue is definitelygetting there.
And so then comfort, then, youknow, if you think, do you think
that F AAU has a good chance ofmeeting Purdue?
Um, I don't know as much aboutthat, but I think that Memphis
has the athleticism to guardguards and, and be able to
present them something that isdifficult, uh, for them to win.

(02:03:57):
I'm, I'm leaning Memphis in thisone.
I am, I am

Stoy Hall (02:04:01):
too.
All right.
Um, as much as that sucks for usto say.
Yeah.
Um, but I'm going to, and, andnext round will put more into
the play there.
Yeah.
Um, alright.
As we go, duke, uh, duke,Tennessee,

um, I have Duke all the way here.
Uh, Tennessee's injured.
Duke's been playing well.
Uh, I just, this wasn't really,isn't much of a thing for me.
Let's move on.
Let's move on.
Uh, Providence, Kansas State,um, this is one where I, I've
kind of been split 50 50.
Um, okay.
The thing that I don't likeabout picking providence here is
that they've been inconsistentthis year and them upsetting

(02:04:38):
Kentucky, who's also beenextremely inconsistent.
Um, to me that's a pick game.
So to go to pick games in a rowis tough.
Again, the only lien is that an11 seat, again, historically
speaking, has made, um, a sweet16 or deeper run for like, I
wanna say like eight outta thelast 10 seasons.
And this is, and this is theonly one that we have.

(02:05:00):
I agree.
But on paper it's Kansas State.
Yeah.
Um, agreed.
So Kansas State would be, Ithink the consensus there.
Marquette here.
I don't have to talk to anythingabout that.
Just, I didn't feel great aboutthe Michigan State USC game.
No.
So

Stoy Hall (02:05:17):
I think, I love me some Marquette.
Not gonna lie.
Love me some Marquette.
Kansas, Illinois, uh, Kansas.
Uh, I just wanna see the statsfor everybody, but

I think Illinois can present some problems, but not
too much.
Uh, ultimately Kansas

Stoy Hall (02:05:33):
will blow it out late.
Yeah.
You can't be sea.

Absolutely hate this game.
You, you, because I love bothof, of these things.
I absolutely love both of theseteams.
Um, oh man.
For, I think both of theseteams, I think this is a
terrible, I mean, this is just aterrible draw.
I agree.
Um, between the, so when youlook at this draw, you've got

(02:05:58):
St.
Mary's, vcu, Yukon, Iona,separately of them.
Like if you throw Iona or VCUover against Tennessee, I'm
taking them and they can giveDuke a game.
I look at the rest of thebracket and I think these teams
got absolutely screwed.
Yep.
Uh, in the seating.
And it's very disheartening.
Agreed.
And also makes the bracket verydifficult.

(02:06:20):
Ultimately, Yukon is too muchlike VCU and has just faced
tougher competition's that I, Ithink Yukon.
Um,

Stoy Hall (02:06:29):
I, on the, the vc, uh, the vc, the reason a VCU
would run is because they'refacing teams that aren't used to
it.
Mm-hmm.
and there's, there's twocomplimentary, um, there.
Yeah.
So that's where I'm at with it.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Um, I'm big on Gonzaga.
Yeah.
I think their shooting's great.
I think their, their ex, theirseniority, uh,

if a Lampkin was playing for tcu, which for those
who don't know is their big guy,um, I think he could make a
little bit more difference inthe lane against, uh, Timmy.
Uh, but I think overall Gonzagais just going to be able to
overwhelm tcu, uh, for 40minutes.
Agree.
Uh, and win that game.
Uh, Northwestern UCLA reallylike UCLA and their seniority in

(02:07:13):
this tournament, uh, experience.
Uh, they have guys who've beenthere and been successful in
this tournament.
It's gonna boardwalk.
I have them going.
Love.
Let's again, UCLA Gonzaga is acomplete sha that those two
teams have to play each other,uh, that early.
Um, and Kansas and Yukon, Ithink four of the top 10 teams

(02:07:33):
in the country are in onebracket.
And I think it's bullshit.
Yep.
Uh,

Stoy Hall (02:07:37):
just to reiterate, I, I literally will agree with you
and usually when we agree theopposite happens, right.
So buckle up folks.
Um, well, we're gonna end withthe number one seed given'em
their props at the end.
Uh, so Houston.

Um, if Houston's healthy, I think they definitely
win.
And I think it's a 50 50 game.
Why?
If they're not this suck, this

Stoy Hall (02:07:59):
sucks healthy, this sucks so bad

about it because Iowa's so streaky that if they
shoot well in game one, they'restaying in the same place they
staying, then they can shootwell in game two.
It's Iowa's best chance toadvance.
It's the best one seed that Iowamatches up with.
And if so, I love the matchup,right?
If I'm a Hawkeye fan, correct.
For as crappy as I played at theend of the year, I have a chance
to make a run unexpectedlybecause of my draws.

(02:08:23):
Yes, absolutely.
I'm playing a team that is notplaying well and does not play
my style and run one and I'mplaying the worst of the four
one seeds if they're not healthyand round two.
And he's

Stoy Hall (02:08:34):
pro, I mean, he's not gonna be a hundred percent,
let's be real.
No, but I mean come back

from, if he doesn't play in round one and then is
there ultimately I think I takeHouston.
I do too.
Um, but

Stoy Hall (02:08:45):
if he's not playing, yeah, it's game change.
But we can't, he can't make yourbrackets off

restaurant, so obviously

Stoy Hall (02:08:53):
take Houston.
Yeah, absolutely.
Uh, I, one of my brackets, I forsure had Drake, Iowa.
Yeah.
I just wanted

everyone to know that.
No doubt.
As did I, uh, Drake and IndianaI like Drake and so do you.
Oh lord.
This one,

Stoy Hall (02:09:07):
and, and I really like this matchup.
Like I don't, a lot of peoplewon't, won't talk about it, but.
For just this one matches upvery, very well.
I don't

like when teams that I like also the stats speak for
it.
Yeah, because it feels like adouble jinx.
It does.
It does.
It does.
Absolutely.
I'm on Drake.
Um, in this round I probablylike Drake versus Indiana or Ken
State better than I like himagainst Miami.
Okay.
Um, no, just one of thosethings.

(02:09:38):
I think either Drake or Miamigets to this point.
Yeah.

Stoy Hall (02:09:42):
And I will, I will say if if it's Iowa Drake, yeah,
let's go.
Let's go.
I'm not that one would be a veryinteresting one as well.
So I don't know why we got ridof the big four.
Seems really stupid when allthree are on the same side of
the bracket.

Iowa State, Xavier,

Stoy Hall (02:10:00):
this one's tough.
I like Xavier.
I, I just like them as a team.
Yeah,

but I mean, do you like them without fe pine?
No, I don't.
Um, and Iowa State's and Iowafigured out and figured
themselves out.
I mean, I've got Iowa State hereall the way.

Stoy Hall (02:10:12):
I do too.
Uh, but I've, I've just stilllet everyone know I like Xavier.
I'm just

saying if Xavier was healthy, they're their Baylor on
the other side to me on thisside.
They run it and they're, youknow, like, I loved it, the
three seeds until he was hurt.
They're not the same teamwithout it.
No,

Stoy Hall (02:10:28):
they're not.
It's unfortunately, it's reallysadly not close.
Yeah.
Um, this one's gonna come downto again, another Iowa
situation.
Is Penn State St.
Streaking hot?
Are they shooting from three orNot For me personally.
Yeah.

But I mean, also.
They match up well with Texas.
They do.
And I don't know what's the,what's the shooting?
I mean, the scoring rate issimilar.
Penn State doesn't score itquite the rate Texas does, but
as far as shooting,

Stoy Hall (02:10:55):
I mean obviously threes Penn State

is significantly better and I just feel like they
know what they know.
Like Penn State right now knowstheir identity.
Granted Texas just ran throughthe Big 12 tournament, ran
through it, ran through it, um,made Kansas look like little,
and they have some athletes thatPenn State does not have.

(02:11:19):
Let me be very clear, I have avery difficult time picking
against Texas, but if anybody isgoing to beat them, it's Iowa
State or Penn or Penn State.
I, I I I mean, I think Texas iswho we're moving on here.
Yes.
Let me be very clear though,that if this ended up being a

(02:11:40):
Penn State 11 seed matchup, itwould not be that surprising.
No.
No.
And I'm not even surprisedthat's how bad this, like I say
bad, that's how competitive thisbracket

Stoy Hall (02:11:52):
is.
Right.
And I'm not, I wouldn't besurprised that they beat'em.
Mm-hmm.
But I, I just, I cannot goagainst Texas the way they
playing.
They've been play well throughKansas.
Don't disagree.
This situation's a littledifferent conversation.
That's No, that's a, that's adifferent week.
Mm-hmm.
Um, alright now to this side ofthe bracket, which, There's a
bracket I have that doesn't haveone, one seed going the final

(02:12:13):
four.
No, I

have a lot of, I have a lot of two seeds.
I like a lot of the two seedsthere,

Stoy Hall (02:12:19):
there, there is just, there's just some seeds that
aren't one seeds that I thinkcould happen.
I still don't trust Bama.
I really don't.
Yeah, I

mean I really don't, honestly, my thing with Bama has
nothing to do with basketball.

Stoy Hall (02:12:32):
It's zero to do with basketball.
I thought the

same thing man.
So my thing with Bama is theycan win the first game and they
can win the second gamepossibly.
Yep.
Um, and if they do, that's fineafter that.
Um, the thing is, is there's nohistory.
They're not basketball.
There's one, there's no history.
But two, like it or not, uh, theBrandon Miller Miller situation
is gonna come back into thespotlight once you get to the

(02:12:55):
Sweet 16 Uhhuh And when thiscame into the spotlight to begin
with, Alabama struggled.
They got over the hump, um, andthrough the scc.
And what, what was that again?
What was the situation?
Um, well there was a man whobrought a gun to another man who
shot a person.

Stoy Hall (02:13:12):
Well, and, and that man allegedly, and by allegedly,

I mean, I'm not even gonna get into this cuz you just
read the text messages.
He knew exactly what he wasdoing.
Just saying.
Um, but the thing is, is likethey're gonna have to answer
questions in the national media,and that's not comfortable for
anyone, let alone an 18 year oldkid trying to win a national
championship.
Oh.
Um, the thing that I don't likeabout this for.
is that West Virginia is exactlythe type of team that Alabama

(02:13:41):
wants.
Nothing to do with do with

Stoy Hall (02:13:43):
not a chance.
Um, not a

good matchup.
There's not a ton of peopleprobably saw it.
Um, Oklahoma, who for thosescoring at home was the worst
team, uh, in the Big 12, ranAlabama out of their own
building by 30 points when theyplayed earlier this year,

(02:14:06):
because they out physicaled,outran out, shot out, hustled
out everything, Alabama on thatSaturday.
Can

Stoy Hall (02:14:16):
you say that Alabama is the most pro type team?
Absolutely.
And what usually happens in thepros,

if you don't make shots, you don't win and defense

Stoy Hall (02:14:30):
and you can get

bullied, right?
I mean, the thing is, is likeyou can get bullied.
Bama blocks a lot of shots, BAdoes a lot of athletic things,
so they offensive rebound.
Well, right.
They shoot the three, well,they, they shoot the three a
lot.
Sometimes they shoot it.
Well, Um, thank you.
They run the floor.
They, I mean they have a lot ofpossessions.
Oops.
They're very, yeah, right.

(02:14:51):
They are a very fancy onee whowins a lot of games and is, has
the best player in the country.
They have the best player in thecountry.
But guess what happens when youget in their face fit and West
Virginia?
Win or lose.
We'll get in.
they're gonna be in your shortsat the end of the game.
And I'm talking literally you'rewalking through the, the
handshake line.

(02:15:11):
If you get a chance to walkthrough the handshake line,
they're still in one leg.
Just that is not a team I, thatAlabama wants to see.
Okay.
Alabama is rootingwholeheartedly for Maryland and
it's only because Maryland won'tget in them as much Maryland
will, but they can't to thelevel of West Virginia.

(02:15:33):
No.
They don't have the depth.
Um, so, and the other thingcomes down to how is this game
Refered, if they allow WestVirginia to physical Alabama,
that is the one thing thatMiller is not comfortable with.
Oklahoma made him souncomfortable, they were never
in that basketball game.
West Virginia has thatpotential.

(02:15:56):
I cannot pick a West Virginiateam who is quite possibly the
freakiest team from half to halfin the history of college
basketball.
Not to mention the fact thatthey can get in foul trouble.
Yeah.
But Alabama is not a guaranteeto admit to advance in this
game.
They're not.
This is a 60 40 at very bestAlabama game.

(02:16:18):
Um, probably more.
55.
45.
Yep.
Um, but I do, I do think Alabamafinds a way to get to the Sweet
16.
I just, where their nextopponent is amazingly.

Stoy Hall (02:16:34):
That's, in my opinion, this is their hard
game.

I mean, even if they face Virginia who's very
similar, I just don't think thatthey, they don't just, they just
don't have the chip that WestVirginia does on the shoulder.
From a defensive perspective.
No.
And,

Stoy Hall (02:16:48):
and from a, from a, this standpoint, Charleston,
Virginia.
Yeah.

Who'd you, I mean, who do you have in this game?
I

Stoy Hall (02:16:56):
do have Virginia.
Um, in the re and this was moreof a hedge thing by the way.
Yeah.
Is that I think Virginia and,uh, San Diego State, I had like
Virginia better.
And so if that so happened tohappen in a 12 five matchup, I'm
writing Virginia to go nextanyway.

Or I think whoever wins the 12 five game beats
Virginia.
Okay.

Stoy Hall (02:17:20):
Well that's a tough one for us then.
Yeah.
Well, let's, then let's go,let's look at some stats.
Um, again, a lot of this year,by the way, for the first year
ever, I'm going off of, we'regonna roll with stats here.
I'm going two and Oh, I'm goingdefense, and I'm

going three threes and Virginia's been playing
better, um, down the stretch.
Mm-hmm.
uh, than they, you know, they'vekind of found exactly what, you
know, where they wanna play.
They're scoring a little bitbetter than they, they normally
do.
So, um, yeah.
We, we can roll with Virginiahere.
Okay.
All

Stoy Hall (02:17:52):
right.
All right.
Here we go.
Baylor c Creighton, um, I mean,there's a lot of people calling
c Creighton going to far ways.

I'm, I'm just saying I like that Baylor's finally
healthy.
Do they have it in them?
Do they have it in'em?
I don't think so.
I think Baylor's healthy enoughand deep enough.
Um,

Stoy Hall (02:18:14):
I, I agree.
I think the matchup situationfor c Creighton that yeah,
their, their bracket draw notvery good for, for how they
play.
Uh, and then we get to thefinal, final matchup, Utah
State, Arizona, actually,surprisingly more difficult.

If you look at this game, you would think that these
two are flipped.
Oh, I know.
Because if you go throughstraight of the schedule points
aloud Yeah.
Everything like that, you wouldthink, oh, Arizona's the, the
higher of the two, they're not,uh, they do score more points.
They give up slightly morepoints.
So the differentials are, areminimal nine to 10 points type
of thing.
Um, Utah State, slightlyoutshoots, um, Arizona overall,

(02:18:58):
uh, Arizona obviously moreathletic, um, better around the
rim and, and more just, just a,a deeper team overall.
But if Utah State gets hot, thisis a pick game.
Um, even, even in a 10, twomatchup is, is a pick game.
The only reason I lean Arizonais because, I don't know that

(02:19:21):
Utah state will be here.
And I think Arizona definitelybeats Missouri.
Yes.
And so is where I went with thisone as well.
Yeah.
Uh, we'll hedge and, and goArizona.
That's exactly what

Stoy Hall (02:19:31):
was said.
Um,

so there we go.
Very chalky in, in that side.

Stoy Hall (02:19:35):
There we are.
Just give everyone a finallooksie of that, but hey, it,
it, it does not start.
It has already started.
Yeah.
The madness is live as we speak.
We got, uh, Texas Corpus Christiup six right now with 15 minutes
left, um, against southeastMissouri.

(02:19:57):
Uh, love this time of the year.
Yeah.
Not a basketball guy.
Right?
Um, mainly because I was onlybrought up to play jv and by
play I mean practice against JVand varsity to, to be physical.
Um, don't have the height, but Ido enjoy some basketball.
I do enjoy this time of theyear.
The madness of it all, uh, getseveryone

excited.
Yeah.
Can't wait for the buzzerbeaters.
Uh, we know there'll be acouple.
Uh, there's gonna be a few.
Um,

Stoy Hall (02:20:23):
there'll be some offsets.
There's gonna be some type ofrun as

well as we finish brackets here, uh, this week
obviously due tomorrow evening,um, type of thing.
The heartburn is gonna be high.

Stoy Hall (02:20:38):
It's gonna be high.
So with that being said though,what's our head-to-head bracket?
What is the bet?
What is the wager on ourhead-to-head that we have no
idea?
I mean, we've talked through itwhere we.

I mean, I think we, I think it's weekly.
I think it's just weekly.
You want to Weekly?
Yeah.
I mean, I, I think that justmakes sense.
As we, as we advance shop perweek here, we advance within
the, the bracket.
Great.

Stoy Hall (02:21:00):
So this is, yeah, this is week one.
Mm-hmm.
week two gets us salsa all overto the final four.
Right, right.
And then we got thechampionship.
