Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's that here?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Okay, all right, welcome in. We've made it to Friday.
It's been a great week so far. But I got
to like, poor went out for the parlay. We have
taken two vicious parlay beats this week, one that I
didn't even I gotta be honest, guys, I kind of
I was watching like five other games. I counted it

(00:24):
as a win. In my head.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I was like, oh, we got the Saint Thomas over Brian.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Yeah, what happened?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
What happened?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Like?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
How did that look there?

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Well?

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Look for those who were not following at home and
just simply want to come on here and say, oh
the parlay loss yes day, Well, let me tell you
what happened. Saint Thomas, who was my contribution to the parlay.
Last night's parlay of the day was sitting pretty. It's
seventy one points with just over ten minutes to go.
That as you guys know, Rob and Adam, you guys

(00:57):
have watched a lot of college basketball through the years,
as many of our five viewers. If you've got seventy
one points with ten minutes left to go to college
basketball game, you're doing well at the offensive end. Team
totally eighty half, so we needed twelve points over the
last ten minutes to get home and they scored nine.
Why did they score nine?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Because in all due respect, Trigg Doug.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Gottlieb has just should not be coaching at this level.
And if I may make it a little personal towards mister,
I just think the guy's at toolbox?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Am I allowed to say that on the show?

Speaker 5 (01:32):
I mean the issue was is I tell jokes? I mean,
if you if you want the non joke version. Saint
Thomas was up so much they just could afford to
take their foot off. They were up by twenty with
ten minutes left and they just were like games over.
Gang the Green Bay Phoenix. I do not believe are
going to fare very well again this year, and.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
That call had to bring I had to bring it
up because if I didn't someone I know, the chat
would be popping off.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
That is the second time this week we've gone two.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
First we've hit the first two and had sort of
a bad beat in the final late. But as it stands,
hey we come on, we talk about the wins. We
got to talk about the losses as well. The parlay
is still alive and well eleven point two to two
units on the year, and by the end of the show,
you'll have another one. I said, we got to keep,
you know, hit one a week and we're good. So
today is our day. I think to hit that one.

(02:25):
Let's get right into a huge slate. Yet, Colin says
they were at seventy seven with four forty five left,
Like you think.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
On accent next point, Yes, you think two three.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Did you see the game the other night where it
hit someone's head and went in I forget what game
that was someone?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yes, I did see that. Oh my god, what game
was that?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
I because, yeah, I've seen the clip twice down and
I can't remember what game it was that.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yes, what's funny just before we get we'll.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Get today's games guys in just a second. But what's
funny is Rob also had a team total that was
going on simultaneously. It was LSU and LSU and UH
Saint Thomas. They were both at basically the same point
total with ten minutes left, and Rob I was kind
of like, oh boy, I hope Rob's gets there because
you needed to get more points. LSU's team total was

(03:10):
seven points higher than Saint Thomas, and you cleared with
no problem. And you know I'm sitting here saying, damn you,
Tommy's damn you.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, I was adding it up in my head, Brian,
I'm like, okay, we need seventeen in nine minutes. That's
only to a minute. We can do this. Let's go.
And they did. They cleared pretty easily.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So all right, it looks like the folks have filed
in for the Friday Show, a big Friday slate, probably
one of the bigger Friday slates will have all year.
As you guys know, non conference Friday slates tend to
be smaller, not so much today. Rob, I'm coming right
to you to kick this off because you're kind of
our West Coast guy, and I think it's appropriate to

(03:49):
make the feature out on the West Coast tonight between
UCLA and Arizona. That to me is the feature game
on Friday slate. And uh was a low scoring game
last year. Don't think either team cracked sixty. Do you
think it might be a little higher scoring this year?
That was my initial gut reaction when I sort of
did my breakdown here.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, well, Tommy Lloyd made mention of it. He basically
said that you know, they got their style last year.
He wants to play slower in reference to Mick cron
and I want to play faster. So he's going to
try and make a point of it. UCLA. For what
it's worth, guys, when you go to tempo numbers, it

(04:31):
doesn't look fast their points or excuse me, theirs shots
per possession, how quickly seconds per possession are a little
bit quicker. What interests me most about this game, guys,
is that Arizona puts four freshmen out there on the
Florida in their top eight and immediately this early in
the season, that might scare you, except that these four

(04:51):
freshmen played against Florida, beat Florida on a neutral and
played well. CoA Pete was the leading score in that
game for Arizona, so I don't worries too much about
the freshman here. My biggest concern with UCLA is heading
into the season was you know, you get Donovan Dent

(05:12):
from New Mexico, right, and he plays Richard Patino's style
up and down the floor, a little bit of press,
and then you come to mc cronin and you're the
lead guard in a molasses type offense. How's Donovan Dent
going to react to that. He's reacted pretty well, and
UCLA score totals have gotten up there a little bit
this year, so far lesser competition. Granted I did watch.

(05:34):
I mentioned the EWU game a few times Eastern Washington,
where Eastern Washington honk tough, but that's an eighty to
seventy four game where UCLA didn't to me look like
the pedestrian style team that mccronin might want them to be.
That being said, guys, my leans here and no longer
because I was leaning Arizona because I figured if the

(05:57):
freshmen can do what they did against against Florida, then
they can certainly do it here. And then the line
went from one and a half to three and a half.
And it makes a huge difference, I think. But the
money is on the Arizona side. When I read Mick
cronin's quotes, it looks like he's treating this game more
as a test than a guy who's confident they can win.

(06:22):
And the other side of this, like I say, Tommy
Lloyd making mention of they want to go out there
and dictate things tonight just kind of gives me the
idea that one coach feels like he's in better shape
than the other both really good teams. I think the
game probably does go to Arizona. I'd likely won't get
involved in the total here, just because Cronin's gonna have

(06:45):
his way for a little bit of this game. Time
start has nothing to do with anything here. I think Arizona,
because the freshmen had been through the war already, probably
are unbhased here and Arizona gets to win. I'm just
a little this price tag, guys, I'm a little bit
leary to lay the full three and a half. But
the guys you got in early did the right thing.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I think, yeah, I would concur with that.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
I don't want to lay points on the road, but
Arizona's gonna win this game. Throughout the season, I'm gonna
be referencing my own power ratings quite a bit, especially
as the season goes on and on, when I become
more and more confident what we've seen. UCLA guys is
currently ranked number fifteen in the country by the Polsters.

(07:29):
I do not think this is a top twenty five team.
They had a very interesting game their last time out
against West Georgia. West Georgia relatively still still relatively new
D one team. I believe it was last year they
made the jump right to the Atlantics trick. Last year
was the first P.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
One year that game.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
So you just look at the final score, eighty three
sixty two, hulhum win for the Bruins, is what you're thinking. Well,
it was a very odd start because West Georgia, not
particularly a known for their three point proficiency. I believe,
started the game five for five and had a nice lead,
and West Georgia shot fifty two percent from three against Ucla.

(08:13):
Was that just an outlier? Was there something in the
air that evening that I don't know? Is that just
much ado about nothing? But I'm gonna tell you guys
right now, and this will be a little bit of
a preview.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I probably won't have to.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Wait till end of the program to get to the game.
I'm gonna talk about for my lega the parlay of
the day, my power rankings, that there's there's one team
right now clearly that they say should not be in
the top twenty five.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's Ucla.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
And then there's one team that they say should clearly
be in and that'll be my leg of the.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Parlay of the Day. That's just a little teas. We'll
get to that later.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
But UCLA is not winning this game in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, I really don't have a huge opinion on the side.
I do want to point out I don't believe Donovan
Dent played against West Georgia.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
He should play here.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
He did sit out.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, yeah, I see the move toward Arizona.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I think that's just people, you know, being enamored with
this Arizona team. I don't think that has anything to
do without Dent playing. I feel like this is gonna
from a market perspective, I think this will go kind
of like Alabama Purdue did yesterday. Well you'll see it.
Hit three and a half, come back, hit three and
a half again, come back.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't so.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
The interesting thing to me in this one is I
think Donovan Dent makes UCLA play faster, but they have
very much priced that in on this total. I mean
the total in the one fifties. This was a game
that didn't crack one. I mean, this was like a
six fifty seven fifty four final last year. Last year
Cronin's defense worked. I thought, you know, that was pretty

(09:45):
much you know, his his sort of you know, the
way that Cronin wants a game to be played worked
out last year in that Arizona game. I don't know
if it works here, and I definitely think Dent makes
them faster, so I want my take here would be
the over.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
But that's a awfully high number, and I think that.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Just it's just it's because Arizona looks so so good
offensively against Florida, and I think that the thought process
is that they're gonna do a lot of damage here,
so we'll be a fun watch, tough game to bet.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Go ahead, Brian.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
One last thing, Ken Palm's got UCLA number thirty two,
so I few are saying, where's this guy pulling his
power rate from also agrees UCLA should not be a
top twenty five two.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
All right, I'm gonna go to Garth. Garth, thank you
again for the the question. Thank you for the donation.
Much appreciated. And we have done well on Garth's games,
so I mean we got we gotta keep it going, uh,
he asks, and then I'll move the comment because he
realized these comments take up like the whole screen, so
I'll start posting my head. But he says five to

(10:50):
one on the season here on plays I've mentioned. I
think I can get to six and one six and
one by backing high point tonight. I I like the
other side here. I don't know if I'm going to
get to the window with UAB. I do think it's
maybe come down a little bit. I think this might
have hit three and a half at some point, or
maybe it's three and a half now.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Maybe one of you guys can can let me know that.
But here is so. The other night I texted you.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
A tweet from Jelly Walker, who is a UAB great,
and he was kind of clown in his school for
losing that game to Alabama State. Now, I've heard from
people that know about UAB basketball that this team has
some issues right now from a talent standpoint, a you know,

(11:40):
way the team is coming. I think, actually, let me
retract that. I don't think it's a talent standpoint. I
think it's just the way this team has come together
to this point. So obviously, you know you're replacing a
lot from last year. Jackson Lindenburg is now at Michigan,
and I just don't think there as far along as
they expected to be to this point in the season.
Go out, I didn't put much stock Robin to them

(12:02):
getting just dragged by NC State, because I think Will
Wade's gonna drag quite a few folks this year. I
gotta be honest, I that like and I like high Point. Generally,
I like high Point, but I do think that high
Point might be the team this year that is, that
is a little bit overvalued from last year. Of course,
Alan alan Husk goes to Creighton. He will be the

(12:25):
next coach at Creighton when Doug McDermott decides to step down,
so he's the coach in waiting there.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
The new the new coach, Flynn Klayman, I believe is
his name.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Reports are good, but I mean, I don't think he's
really won a big game yet, right. I think high
Point has kind of just blasted a couple of inferior opponents,
although they did they did knock Furman around pretty good
in that opener, which I think has more to do
with Furman being maybe not like not as good as
they've been in years past than it does high Point
just being this freight train.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'll kick it to you, guys. I want to like
you ab here.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I think the spot coming off of just such an
atrocious loss makes sense that UAB would bounce back, but
I don't think I have enough faith in the Blazers
to put my money on it.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
So that's my problem with this one.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'll I'll leave the floor open to you too.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I'll just go quick here, Adam, because obviously my
first reaction here is, you know, UAB high Point, let's
take a look at the total. Never mind the side
in the back of my mind was the text that
you sent us to tell us, you know, or maybe
even set it on air. I forget how you told us,
but that UAB, you know, you knew somebody close to

(13:39):
the program and they may be a scattered mess this season,
and a jelly Walker text whatever. So it wasn't necessarily
for side here. It was to look at total because
I know UAB is gonna run. They always do under
Andy Kennedy. High Point for the most part is a
fairly quick team, and this year they're shooting the basketball
like crazy. So far. Of course, this schedule is the schedule,

(14:01):
but if you got a team like UAB. I went
into the defensive numbers real quick here with UAB, and
they're just not as bad as maybe I thought, So
I laid off this total because this priced so high.
My initial reaction was to play it over, and it
still may get to the over, but I couldn't get
there with it just because perhaps you know, you're talking

(14:23):
about a game where you have to get sky high
points out of both sides. Tempo will be there, high
point shooting has been there. I just feel like UAB
off of a game where they allowed fifty percent from
two and I think thirty something percent from three. Again,
we're digging into coaches who say we need to play

(14:43):
better defense. Just in the back of my head, it's
like Andandy Kennedy probably wants these guys to d up
a little better tonight than they did the other night.
So I'm off of the total for those reasons.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Just pardon me real quick.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
If you like the UAB side, I would actually bet
it right now because it's it's DraftKings. Assuming you're not
limited to, you know, being able to only bet fifty
cents there, you can still get them at three and
a half right now, where everybody else is moving in
the other wrection. I'm actually seeing this, did I see?
I don't want to say something wrong. It's two and

(15:15):
a half pretty much everywhere else, So on the other side.
It's still on the other side of three. If you
like the UA B side, I see by you our
good friend, by you. BET's Keith Landry in the chat.
He actually messaged me a few minutes before we went
live that he liked UAB.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I hope I'm okay to say that.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Keith.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, and you know it's Corby that went to U
A B.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
He'll probably talk about it on the show that goes
in an hour from now, which I'm sure you you know,
if you watch these shows, you probably know about the
other show, and if he's on that show today, I
am certain he will bring it up because that's who
I got that for you.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
The Stenship Trent Dilford's still going around in Birmingham too,
even though he wasn't involved in that. That's going to
take a while from the waft that out that that's
also needs to be noted.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
I think in the handicap, Yeah, I saw that after
Jelly Walker tweeted and people were like, come on, you know,
you're like, hey, like that's a little harsh heet. He
posted his stat line from when they played Alabama State
and I think he dropped like forty he.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Was like, this is what it should look like.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
So I thought, listen if you you know, I don't
know if that's actionable, but like if if one of
the best players in the history of the program decides
to go to Twitter and call you out for the effort,
I think the effort might be better than that next
time out. And you know, it's a home game. I
believe these two teams played last year. I think that

(16:34):
game was at high point. I think high point one
in a competitive game. I'll have to go back and check.
I'm just going off memory, but uh, it feels like
the spot for UAB. Probably won't get my money, but
it feels like the spot Brian Power.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I'm gonna bring you back in here.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Mark Martin actually asked Veno, but I know you guys
both have an opinion on this one.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
So yeah, yeah, the game everyone wants to talk about today.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Seriously, though, I really think that the way that the
betting market is just going on this game. I really
do think this is a game a lot of people
want to talk about.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Absolutely like ESPN, Like, okay, if you're in like the
ESPN world, Okay, who what's to talk about? IU Indie
if you're a better if you're a serious better of
college basketball. I don't know how IU Indie totals are
on the near the top of your talking points at
the start of this season. Look, I mean we talked

(17:29):
about that first game. I remember when we were live
on our very first show, I you Indie played Ohio
State and I said, guys, what in Heaven's name is
going on with this total?

Speaker 4 (17:38):
And it still flew? It was close to what what
was it?

Speaker 5 (17:43):
It was a double digit move and it still went
over by twenty points and was higher scoring than most
NBA games that night. I know Rob can vouch for that.
You look at IU Indy. They are playing at a
pace and it is by design. Their goal seems to
be this year, we want to get number one and
adjusted tempo at ken pop that that seems to be

(18:05):
the goal here. And they're fait And I looked at
the odd screen and I was like, Okay, has has
this overtaken money?

Speaker 4 (18:13):
I mean, they're betting this.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
This thing's up to one eighty eight already and they're
playing and so Trigg. I don't want to put words
of Rosmols, but I know you for certain do this
as well. You and I are both people that we
take a look at the market and we try to Okay,
this has gotten out a hand and we and we
need to punch back now, like this is just absurd
everyone in their mud. No one's gonna bet the under

(18:36):
on this game. Let me be the fool who tries
to do it. I don't think I want to do
it in this game. And I'm gonna tell you why
Eastern Michigan, okay, does not really have a point guard.
And what does IU Indie do. What is the key
to this change? They're just doing a full court press,

(18:58):
not the batter above us. By the way, Rob correctly
if I'm wrong here, Okay, with all of your years
of acumen of watching college basketball, if you don't have
a true point guard and you're facing a team that's
gonna press you for ninety plus feet, that's not a
great matchup here. And I think Eastern Michigan could give
up a lot and I do mean a lot of

(19:22):
points here on Friday evening.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know, guys, it's we talked yesterday. I thought we
were pretty close to covering all the coaching changes, those
that were polar opposites, but this one we haven't talked
about yet even though we've recognized the score in are
you in the Games? Division two? Ben Howlett comes here
and Brian when you said a lot of years I'm

(19:47):
gonna date everybody here, I apologize. If you're born after
the year nineteen ninety, I apologize. But Loyla Marymount, you
go peck And I swear to God, this coach must
have watched The Girl of Go, the thirty for thirty
special on west Head. I remember that team like it
was yesterday. Great, great team. You know, the Hank Gatherers

(20:09):
saga was sad as could be. Bo Kimble actually met
Bo Kimberle in person. He gave an award to my
son at a high school function. Good guy. Uh, And
I used to you know, I'm getting into the weeds here,
and I don't want to get into the weeds. But
as a twenty nine year old in ninety playing wreck basketball,
you know, I thought Jeff Fryer had the coolest job
in basketball. Run downstand behind the three point arc and

(20:31):
just wait till somebody throws you to the basketball. But the
point being is their style is so reminiscent of that
team where Paul west Head threw caution to the wind.
I don't care if you score on me. I really
don't care. Score fast. I'm gonna take the ball and
I'm gonna score even faster. And by the time forty
minutes are up, you're gonna know. You're gonna feel like
you've been running in beach sand for forty minutes by

(20:53):
the end, and we're just gonna wear you down. And
that's what I Indy is kind of doing to teams
right here, except that they don't have the talent level
that that Loyola Merrymount team had as far as if
they could shoot the basketball. Guys, they do what Merriymount did,
score one thirty, score one forty. You see these movements
in the price because the odds makers aren't close. These

(21:17):
games are gonna get so many possessions that by accident
you have to find your way to one eighty, and
if you do anything at all, you'll find your way
to one ninety. I think the over is the proper
play here. And as you mentioned, Brian, when you add
into the equation the fact that you're going to full
court press a team that has trouble ball handling right now,

(21:37):
it's not drastic With EMU I'll correlate it real quick
to a football team. You know so often, Brian, we
handicapped college football. We'll say stuff like, well, in six days,
you can't simulate the air force offense, right, you can't
simulate the million who you're gonna put on your scout
squad that knows how to play. You could take five

(21:57):
guys and say you're gonna press us, and we're gonna
but em US had a couple of days to get
ready for this, and the old Night Tyson line. Everybody's
got a plan until they get punched in the face.
EMU is gonna figure it out real quick. I think
they'll score because Indy will let them score. I think
Indy will score it because they'll steal the ball and
they'll score for me. My debate was whether I should

(22:21):
use this as the leg of the parlay. Guys, We'll
wait a few minutes and I'll consider if I owe this.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yeah, I consider it too play before I set it
back to you, Trig, I just if there's you know,
we do have to like take a into account that
there maybe some people watching that haven't been following I
you Indy and are like, what you know? Can can
you guys, give us just some raw numbers to illustrate
what you're saying. I you Indy's first four games. Here
were the final scores one eighteen one oh two loss

(22:46):
to Ohio State ninety four to ninety lost to Long
Island one hundred and twelve to eighty loss the Butler,
and then they beat a non board team one twenty
one to seventy seven last time out. So there has
been a minimum of one hundred eighty four points scored
in all four games. And then three of them have
seen at least one ninety two. Two have seen one

(23:10):
ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
So there you So before we move on from this game,
I have two I have two things I want to
point out from IU Indy's last game. The last game,
their total opened one sixty. It went off one eighty
four and a half, which means there was a twenty
four and a half point move. It landed one eighty four,
which means pretty much, as long as you bet it before,

(23:33):
like right before tip off, you cashed with the over.
That being said, there was a lot of extension at
the end of that game. It was a close game,
so you had your you know, you had like quite
a few file shots. It took some back and forth
shot making in the final minute or two to get
it over the last number.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I think.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I think you were probably sitting pretty with one sixty
easily there, but to get it over all numbers or
most numbers, it took some extension. Other thing I'll point
out is there's a five point move on the side
here toward the dog, which is like you know that
on the road.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
So that's very interesting.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I don't really know what to make of that, because
I might, like, if I knew that Eastern Michigan was
going to have their compliment of players or like most
of their players, I would want to like punch back
at that. But boy, that's what do you like? Five
and a half point move on the dog as well?
I have no opinions. I really just wanted to like

(24:32):
point that out that it's like, if you like the
over and you think like there's still like meat on
the bone there, you should bet it now because this
actually might go up over one ninety based on the
fact that the last game moved twenty four and a
half points and most of those overs hit. So intriguing
discussion right there, for sure, Brian, I'm going to come
back to you, because I think this is going to be.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Your leg the parlay.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Darryl Turner says, anyone like the over between Georgia and
Georgia Tech. So let's just do the full Georgia Georgia
Tech discussion right now, and Brian tell me where you're
looking in this game.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
So I mentioned at the outset when we were talking
Arizona Ucla that UCLA was a team that I really,
my numbers say, don't deserve necessarily to be in the
top twenty five. A team that is not currently in
the top twenty five that my numbers really like is Georgia,
and Georgia is going to be my leg of the parlay. Guys,
it's just all settle in on a number because they

(25:26):
were taking money right before we went live and I
have not checked since Georgia.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
How about we go fifteen for the show? Trig?

Speaker 5 (25:35):
Does that sound all right? There are fifteen and a
half s already popping open fourteen. Well, I'll let you
be the official judge and jury.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
For you can go fifteen.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
We'll we'll double check it at the end, but I
think fifteen will be fine. We'll we'll go if we
have to go fifteen minus one twenty.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
We can do that.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's gonna it's gonna be a
jew It's gonna be a juice to fifteen. Now let
me get back here, because why do my numbers like Georgia. Well,
here's where sometimes you have to exercise a little bit
of caution.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
With you know, early seat.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Georgia has produced three massive routes to open the season.
And you know, if you do power rings, power rings
are gonna love that Georgia. Here's how they've opened the season.
Forty five point win over Bellerman, sixty five point win
over Maryland Eastern Shore, thirty nine point win over Morehead State. Now,
obviously they were big favorites in all of those games,

(26:25):
and you know you expect them to win. But still
you're that kind of average margin of victory is really impressive.
Then if you're a common opponent person Georgia Tech, they
played Maryland Eastern Shore as well, and guess what, Georgia
Tech only won by hold on, let me pull up
the score here. They only won by four against the

(26:48):
same team that Georgia won by sixty five. Now, you
know a plus B does not necessarily equal C. But
I look at this, I think this my power rings.
Love this Georgia team so far and again you blow
out three bad you know, people say, oh, those teams stink.
But if you blow teams out, that's a good thing.
They call me old fashioned, that's a good you know.

(27:09):
We always I come on here in a lot of
different sports, and I always criticize what pros, college whatever say.
You know what, Yeah, this team's records good, but they're
always winning close and that's just not sustainable. Close get
you know, usually a close game record will regress to
five hundred if you're blowing out teams, whether or not
you're supposed to blow on it. To me, that's impressive Georgia.
They you look at the stat profile, there's a lot

(27:33):
to like here, and I think Georgia makes it four
for four in terms of blowout victories. This is gonna
be my parlay leg here is I think they just
they destroyed Georgia Tech.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, I'll uh, I have nothing to you know, if
if Georgia like the way they get up and down,
if they're if Georgia Tech can't keep them away from
the rim, it's it could get ugly.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
So and I hope for your sake it does.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'll kick this one back to you guys, because like
five like a bunch of people that asked about it.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I have far less of an opinion here than I
did yesterday.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
But we do have the second of three eleven AM
tip offs in the I think it's the showdown at
Saint Pete. They're calling it, Brian, they want to play
a standalone eleven AM game today. It's Central Michigan and
it's Coppon State. Like if we were just talking like
all neutral court, all things equal, I think Central Michigan

(28:25):
destroys this team. I think Coppon State is bad, but
you have to weigh in the fact that you're obviously
laying a decent sized number. I don't know what it
is right the second and Central Michigan had a little
bit of a dog fight yesterday, so with South Alabama.
So you know, do they come back and smash this team?
My gut says yes, Like I'm not going to bet that,

(28:45):
but like I couldn't take Coppon State here. I just
think they're bad. That's all I got on that game.
If you guys want to throw something out there for
the eleven AM If not, we'll move on.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Just really quick, Adam, and it'll take two seconds here.
I'm in agreement with what I've found over the years
now is that we put a little bit too much
stock nowadays. It used to be a really good theory
years ago when these teams double up back to backs
three and three days, like when you go through conference
tournaments and stuff and you see people just playing the situation.

(29:16):
And nowadays these teams win those games. If you're better
than the other team, you win three day, three games
in three days, you win four games and four nights.
It happens more often than you think. Coppin's been through
the Riggers with a pretty decent schedule so far, but
they haven't come close in any of them. So to
me it would be Central Michigan. You always have to
weigh the factor of you know, game under your belt,

(29:38):
ready to go at these Rims on this neutral floor.
Maybe it takes cop and time to get adjusted, so
I'd probably be on Central Michigan. But like you, I
can pass this one.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I'll touch on one that a couple folks are asking about.
I lost the comment, but that's okay. I'll I know
what it is. It's Hawfstrau and Bucknell. So some people
asking my opinion, and I can and kind of jump
in and give you an opinion here. So I've been
looking for, excuse me, a good spot to play Pastra
ever since the opener, and part of the reason for

(30:09):
that is they went to Iona in a game that
I actually I didn't bet, but I liked them quite
a bit in that game and got absolutely blitzed right
out of the gate.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think it was like twenty three.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
To four Iona, and we could indeed, we could even
talk about that game as well at some point, but
they they just made everything.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
I mean, it was one of those ones.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
It was.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
It was kind of like a win Brian Power had
last night on Wichita State where like every shot Kenyan
Giles put up went in. That was the IONA team
against Hostra to the to the point where it was
like I and I watched.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
The game back.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I didn't watch it live, so I watched the game
back and it was like they didn't play that badly
in my opinion, they just got totally blitzed out of
the gate to the point where I think they were
down so much in that game that climbing that hill
on the on the road coming back from that was
just too much. And so I think right off the bat,

(31:06):
the fact that they lost that game undervalues them a
little bit. Now, I just want to see what they've
done in their other games, because okay, so they had
the loss to UCF. Brian, I think you had a
winner in that one on opening night UCF. I think
you played them over with Hostra and it went way
way over. Yes, I was impressed with Hofstra in that game.
And so the other was a non board, non D

(31:29):
one game, so they are two games. Was a very
impressive game in my opinion against a big twelve team,
and then a game against Iona where I just feel
like they they were unlucky to go twenty in the hole.
And so I actually, I actually think this might be
my parley leg.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
I'm not gonna lock it yet.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Actually, you know what, No, I am gonna lock it
in because here's why I was on the fence with
playing this one. I see a little bit of a
line move toward Hofstra, which I did kind of expect
to happen. I played against Bucknell earlier in the week
with Princeton, and part of my reasoning there was I.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Think Bucknell is nothing like they were last year.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
It's actually very similar to my reasoning for Cornell Lafayette,
which turned out to be a blowout winner last night.
You take Noah Williamson off this Bucknell team big, you
know seven, I think he's at Bama now. I like
they just want to put put in a context how
good Noah Williamson was for Bucknell last year. I'm pretty
sure he's at Alabama somewhere in that rotation or like

(32:28):
coming off the bench.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
So, uh, you take him off this team. He was
the best player.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
He was the guy that really set the tone at
both ends of the floor, elite rim protector. And you know,
I just don't think that they've done enough to replace him,
but yet they're still getting rated like last year's Bucknell team.
So I'm going to use this as my parlay. Lake,
can someone just can you give me a Hofstram money
line right now?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Let me know what that is?

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Yeah, hold on one second, we scroll up money line
and then I'll scroll.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Back down, probably like minus one thirty.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Minus one forty minus one forty minus circus minus one sixty.
So well, we are throwing it in a three leg
parlay though, So I mean even if it mightus won sixty,
who cares?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
So that's ultimately like I honestly like I probably this
was one of the ones. So I ended up with
a I've got about I've already got two plays locked in.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
I have like ten on a list of potentials today.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
This was one of the ones that I got, I had,
I had circled as a potential play. I now kind
of wish I just bet this last night. But like
I sometimes Brian, like I look at like a game
like this and I say, well, I got my money
against Bucknell.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Earlier in the week against Princeton.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Was a little hesitant to come back with them, But
now that we talk it out, I think that's the
right side. So I'm going to make that that my
leg of the parlay. So we'll go Hofstra money line.
I just think they're better and and Bucknell's not going
to have I don't think the joke up pavilion. Have
you that's in Philly, PA.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Somewhere.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think it's closer to Pittsburgh, Rob. Have you ever
been to Bucknell University in Louisbourg, PA.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
No, I have not, but you're absolutely right. It's it's
from my location here it's a distance. It's it's on
the way to Pittsburgh. So yeah, it's Louisbourg. I would
guess car ride for me three hours, So yeah, it's
it's some someplace I haven't been yet.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
People don't realize what a big state Pennsylvania is to drive.
Oh yeah, yeah, I eighty man'll see I hope you well.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Like how about when you're in.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Easy even triggle run out of things to talk about
on I eight in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
I think you're in Erie, you're basically almost into Cleveland.
I get you're you're not that far from Cleveland when
you're in Erie, Pa up in the smoke stack up
there if they even call it, uh, but we digress. Yeah,
I'm gonna go Hofst money Line in the Parlay. I
think you're just gonna see a superior team. And I
don't think buck Dale is going to have an answer,

(34:59):
uh for for or what Hobster is gonna do. I
think Hostra might be overall. I'll leave one more thing.
I think Hostra is an undervalued team in that conference
this year. I feel like things just didn't work out
for them last year, and I think they have a
pretty good team. So I would that might be a
play on team going forward, and Slickpick is saying buck
Nell is trash. I mean, I'm not gonna call them trash,

(35:21):
but you're not wrong. You're not winning that league like
they did last year, that is for sure. All right,
let's go we have a we have a whole bunch
of questions. I'm gonna I'm gonna just scroll one at
random because there is a lot of people asking about
a lot of games and somewhat Okay, I'll go to

(35:42):
Rob here. I want to get robbed back in the conversation.
I know he's gonna have an opinion here. The folks
want to know what you think about Xavier Iowa. A
very interesting matchup between two new coaches, one of which
is having a worse time than the other at their
new uh at their new spot. So Xavier Iowa over
to you, Rob.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, Xavier Iowa. Real quick, here what we've seen out
of Iowa, guys, Darren the head coaching change here, we
thought with Ben halland was going to make them a
lower scoring team, and right out of the shoot we
figured out, well, wait a minute, is Fran McCaffrey still
coaching the offense for Iowa because they look pretty darn good.

(36:21):
Xavier on the other side, with Richard Patino two different
halves the other night. Remember I had them a team
total in that game the other night, twenty points in
the first half, but forty eight in the second half
that second half. Guys put up ninety six points the
other night, but Xavier was never in it. That second
half was more attributed Their scoring was more attributed to

(36:44):
I don't want to call it garbage time, but you know,
more like desperation mode. You know, game gets a little quicker,
you're trying to get back in the game, et cetera,
et cetera. I don't trust him here against Iowa at all.
That's an extremely difficult arena to go into against a
team that's proven to be really solid already, and you're

(37:04):
walking in there within your evaluation process with the Xavier team.
So if they got behind at home by I think
it was eighteen points first half the other night, they
could get blitzed right off the bat by Iowa here
in some regards, I don't think this line is high
enough at fifteen and a half, but I think Iowa
guys they may still be in bookmaker's eyes under the

(37:29):
old perception of or excuse me, under the Ben Hollan
perception that they're going to be a slower paced team.
But like I said, I don't think it's true. And
I don't think covering fifteen and a half with him
as head coach against this particular team is that hard
to do. I would look, Iowa didn't bet the game, guys,
but from what I saw of Xavier the other night,

(37:52):
and Adam, I think you hit on it the day
we made this play that they're in a bad way
personnel wise. It was kind of skies the first couple
of games out of the shoot, but it was really
exposed in that game the other night. So I would
lean Iowa for anybody looking to play that game total wise.
And you know what, you might want to play the

(38:12):
Xavier team total under. How about that because I was
a good defensive team nowadays, and I think with as
Xavier struggles offensively, you could probably get home with that.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Yeah, real quick trigger.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
I remember you had messaged Rob and I during one
of the games about Richard Patino his comments on his team,
And you know, one thing in this kind of plays
into what Rob just said about maybe a Xavier team
total under this team right now three hundred and forty
eighth in the country in two point percentage. We always
talk about the variance that is three point shooting game

(38:47):
to game in college basketball, But if you're not making
them inside the arc, if you're three hundred and forty
eighth in the country and two point percentage.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
That means it's.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Tough sled at the offensive end, right, I mean, you're
not getting the easy ones, particularly inside. I think the
Xavier team, I think the market again to piggyback over
rubs that maybe a little slow to react to what
is honestly not going to be a very good team
in year one under Patino. And I think Iowa can
probably name the score here. Is it gonna make my card? No,

(39:17):
but it would be layter.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Pass for me.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Yeah, rebuilding year for Xavier.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I don't think anyone is going to give Patino a
hard time really like, I think it's just a kind
of a year zero for him there. And you know,
given his track record he's had, Listen, like, I think
the Xavier faithful have to look at like he had
really bad years to start a minute early on in
his tenure at Minnesota. I don't think I think New

(39:43):
Mexico might have finished tenth in his in the Mountain
West in his first year there, and they turned out okay,
So it might be Xavier might be a team where
maybe you can, maybe you can back them in like
February as like a dog, like in conference, like they
figure it out as the year goes.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
But I don't want a part of them.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
And I think in non conference play against teams that
are just clearly further along than they are right now,
which is I think the case.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Uh with Iowa Brian Power.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I'm gonna come back to you because I don't think
the folks know because of course you're a mister Cleveland,
mister Ohio that really you're you're a Michigan fan, not
an Ohio State fans.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
If you had to pick a side of the rivalry.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
And uh, Michigan basketball looks like they're in a great
spot right now. Yeah, uh they look awesome. And so
we had someone ask about the Michigan TCU game. Of
course I've uh, we love the we love all the comments,
but I'm losing them in the shuffle.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
So I forget who asked about it.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
But we'll go there because I think that this is
a matchup that's worth discussing tonight.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
A big move toward Michigan. I kind of agree. How
are you seeing Michigan TCU.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Yeah, I think Michigan is one of the best teams
in the country. Now, what you need to ask yourself
here is what do they have in the tank? Coming
off obviously a wild and hard fought victory over Wake
fourth and that game, I mean that that was a
great game the other night between Michigan and Wake. Michigan,
they it looked they kind of looked in trouble. They

(41:12):
were down seven late in regulation, they rally and do
win it in overtime. So and this is they don't
go to Texas very often. So I agree that, you know,
I kind of agree with here's here's again three point variants.

(41:33):
All right, Michigan, Why were they Why did they find
themselves in that seven point hole laid against Wake Forest
They couldn't hit a three and second half.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
I watched it.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
I mean, I mean, I was like, when was the
last time they hit a three? Well, I just picked
I just brought the box score back open and I
was stammering.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
There.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Michigan was four for twenty five in that game from
three point range. I always believe this is just kind
of my general handicapping mentality. If you can win a
game when going four for twenty five from three, that's
actually a good thing, because a team like Michigan to
me too talented to be that cold back to back

(42:11):
nights from three. I know, again, it's on the road,
so I don't think they're necessarily going, you know, to
shoot the lights out here Dusty May's team. But you
look at the TCU side, kind of work in progress.
They lose to New Orleans in the season opener.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
That's not good. So I think Michigan is probably how
I would play this.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Rob I'm seeing that this is getting knocked back down,
so someone must have wanted to oppose this because it
looks like TCU has taken some money back down to
seven and a half even.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Eight some places.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I gotta say this, like about TCU in general, like this,
this is not a great shooting TCU team. We all
know that they had a horrific result to start their year,
losing to the Universe of New Orleans. And I found
it was Darrel that asked a question, So thank you, Daryl.
We appreciate that He specifically wanted Rob's opinion, so we

(43:08):
better get Rob in on this. He says, Rob, what
is your opinion of Michigan TCU?

Speaker 3 (43:13):
All?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
The last thing I'll say is I don't think TCU
shoots it particularly well. And Rob, I don't think you're
getting much at the rim against Michigan. So what's the
You know, TCU is going to have to defend their
tails off to cover this number in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Yeah, And it's an interesting conflict here, guys, because Jamie Dixon,
you know, since he's gotten to TCU, it's kind of
I'm trying to describe his total results here. It's very
strange with him. He's a defensive minded coach. Let's start there, right,
But TCU has kind of catered to overs during his tenure,

(43:47):
especially the last three years. And when I look at
these numbers, analytical numbers so far this season, you see
that they go fast on offense and they clamp down
on the defensive side. Now a lot of times when
you you see average possession length being long on defense
just because teams are in zone and it's harder to
find shots against zone immediately. But Dixon's kind of a

(44:10):
man guy, Michigan gets a shot off so quickly. Here
there's where the rub lies, right, Michigan wants to shoot quick.
TCU banks on keeping you from taking a shot for
a while. I think Michigan probably wins that battle in
this game. But the total to me is too high, Guys.
I just don't see this game getting up into the

(44:32):
area where it is right now. I'd probably think lower
one fifties rather than higher one fifties. And to Brian's point,
because Adam you said there's a little bit of punchback
to the TCU side here, I think just situationally, the
point that Brian brought up about the toughness of the
wake Forest game back and forth, and now you got
to go play another team that you know. They are
at home, they are pretty decent, and they are sitting

(44:53):
and waiting for you. So I could see a little
bit of take back there at that price. But if
this question was specifically towards total, Darryl, I would look
under in that game. I just don't think it'll get
up into that area.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Yeah, I'm with you, Rob.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I see a scenario where TCU is having a hard
time getting any sort of good look in this game.
That Michigan defense is very good and TCU I don't
think is a great shooting team. All right, I want
to go to I want to go to Tessi Betts here.
Do you have one more thing to add there?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Brian?

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Sorry, I was just gonna say, our good friend Jay
Buff is getting very salty that we're not calling on him,
that the teachers not calling on him.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I saw him, so I thought I saw him say
something about an Iowa total.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I know he's been like like ahead of the curve
on Iowa overs.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Let us know about it. Good call, Buff, We love you, Buff.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
We talked about here's what we're gonna do. Let's I
want to give this game that the full rob. I
think this is a really interesting matchup. So Tessie Betts
and then we'll go to Rob versus Parlay leg with
let's start TESTI Betts say, sorry if I missed it,
you did not.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
We have not talked about this game yet. Can we
touch on PC? Colorado? Nine pm? Tip out West?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
So yeah, that's Providence College and they are headed out
to Boulder to take on the Colorado Buffaloes. I bet
I so my list Colorado's on it, But my issue
with Colorado when they play at home is like my
ninety one year old grandmother at this point like knows
that Colorado has a little bit of an edge in
the altitude, and I feel like it gets overpriced into

(46:27):
the number a lot of times. And so when I
saw Colorado at a pick here, I said, Man, the
books are just too smart. They're too good, and they
really did bake the altitude difference into the number. I
was hoping to get Colorado as a couple point dog.
Maybe I will as the day goes on, But I Brian,
just in general, I mean, I'll let you to touch

(46:48):
on that game and we can talk matchups, But what
do you feel like the books beat you to the
punch on that stuff a lot now, like more so
than they used to.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
Yeah, I mean it's the kind of thing that everyone
knows about, you know. I mean we talk about it
all the time once they're even like stuff that the
general public quote unquote doesn't know about. Remember, you know,
like we joked what was it last week, or maybe
you and I were just joking sometime over the weekend
those spots two years ago in the Mountain West, whenever
you had an unranked home team against the tam and

(47:19):
they just the books were like, you know what, we
know that a bunch of sharp guys are gonna come
and hit this number, so we're just gonna make the
number two points higher than we normally would and it
still didn't matter. So I mean, that's the thing. I mean,
numbers do matter. And yes, I would concur with you
Trigg that that is priced into this matchup. But I

(47:40):
do think, I mean, you know, stay true to your
handicap guys. But yeah, I mean I I yeah, yes,
obviously it's a part of it.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
And I'll send this over to Rob to close it
out and then he can go right into his par
leg leg if he wants the only two. I have
two things I want to say about about Provident and
and why I want to fade them at some point,
and then I'll let Rob bring it home. The first
first thing is I have a buddy that went to Providence.
He's very, very tuned into the basketball program, and what
he told me is that the Kim English loves his

(48:09):
freshmen and they are not getting along with the incoming
upperclassmenal So to do what you will with that, Like,
think about this though, Kim Kim recruits his guys. You know,
he goes and grabs a hired gun from another mid major, right, Like,
they're just they're all getting on campus at the same time.
So it's not like, you know, your usual hierarchy of Hey,

(48:32):
I've been here for a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
It's like you're all new.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
And I think the you know, I believe it was
specifically Edwards that he referenced to is one of I
believe Providence is better players that like, it's just I
don't know. These are things that I think don't get
talked about enough in this day and age, because think
about it, this is what these coaches have to deal
with every year, new guys. How are these guys gonna mess?
Are they going to be friends? Are they going to

(48:57):
have each other's backs? Are they going to be actively
trying to say, babotage each other on the court?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
You don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
The second thing is I was on Pen earlier this week.
I think Rob may have hit a team total in
that same game I lost with Penn, and I feel
like I was unlucky to lose that that Pen just
could not hit a shot like the last seven minutes
of the game, and Providence just poured it on to
ruin my pen plus nineteen. It was my only loss
on a three to one day. I think it was Tuesday.

(49:23):
So both reasons. I like Colorado here. I think if
this got to Colorado plus two, I might take them,
but at the current number, I'll have to sleep on it.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
More rob any thoughts here, and then you can go
right into the game that you want to talk about.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah, you know, I was about to raise my hand
to speak first here because I've got so many plays today,
and I was just gonna say, let me go first,
because I want to use it as a parlay leg
I'll go last year. Have so many inner conflicts with
these games, guys, I'm going to say this. I looked
at the under and I like the under here, and
I'll bit the under one sixty three and a half
in this game. There's a couple of reasons. Got two coaches,

(50:00):
Kim English and Tad Boyle, both talking about defense. I'm
gonna give you a quote from Tad Boyle after the
last game one oh two ninety seven, they beat e Wu.
It was an overtime game. We have to have more
pride and our guys have to feel the way about
it that I feel about it, and the way our
coaching staff feels about it. We have some really good

(50:22):
coaches on this staff, some really good offensive coaches, now
defensive coaches. We have to take blame on this too,
And to me, that signifies a little bit of defensive
effort here tonight against Providence when I go through Providence's schedule, Guys,
Virginia Tech's a good team, but they played a winless
team and piled it on. And they played Fran mccaffery's

(50:44):
Penn team the other night where I had the team
total and they piled it on. I don't know that
going into the altitude against Colorado with a head coach that's,
you know, zoning in on defense tonight is the place
where they're going to get to eighty five points. This
total is one to sixty three and a half. By
the way, you're asking each side to get to eighty two.
Kim English, real fast, good bounce back for our guys

(51:07):
on a short turnaround. We learned a lot from our
film and we've improved our transition defense. Both of these
teams are gonna have to get back tonight because both
teams want to go quick. But to the point of
Adam talking about younger players on Providence, Colorado is younger
players too, And I just don't know that all these
shots are going to fall here tonight. Now, I might
get into trouble playing under if we get into a

(51:29):
foul fast, and that's always got to be considered. Last
thing I'll say about this game is anybody who hasn't
seen this seven foot one bang got Dak for Providence
who can put the ball between his legs and spin,
move and get to the ribs and then shoot threes.
Kind of amazing for his size. Decision here is parlay Legger.

(51:52):
Now I'm gonna say no, but I'm gonna leave you
guys with a firm play on under one sixty three
and a half. I like it. It'll make my card.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah, I think that's so. I believe rob Off off
the record.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
I'm gonna put it on the record.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
You you basically told me playing overs against Fran McCaffery
is like legalized.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Stealing pretty much.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
It's just that easy.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
And uh it really was. I mean they just poured
it on a lot of those Providence points came in
like the last like eight minutes of the game. Where
they were just like, let's just pour it on, right,
Let's just let's just let's get the folks at the
uh it's it's the dunk in my opinion, it's not
dunkin Donuts Center anymore. But let's let's get the folks
one hundred here. And they just poured it on even

(52:34):
if they wanted to. You can't do that against Colorado,
Like this is a massive step up from what they
faced in Penn.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
So I'm with you. I like that.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I think you're on the right side there. And you
said one sixty three and a half for the total
on that, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
One sixty three and a half. Yep. It's actually it
went way up to start Adam and came way back down.
So yeah, one sixty three and a half.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Bill Brian is this? So I want to go to
Bill here?

Speaker 2 (53:03):
He said, why don't you three do a promo with
all three of your CBB I think we have one.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
The question is is it live or not yet?

Speaker 4 (53:10):
It is not live yet. No, I just double checked.
I'm also it's funny Rob is talking.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
About I'm gonna peel back to Kurt a little bit here.
I've been like modering a couple totals that I'm playing
today when speaking of the client card that I've been
waiting to see where the when the number peaks and
push back, and I've been if you're already a subscriber,
you're you're seeing me. I'm about to enter a second
one here, but no, as for right now, we'll see guys,
stay tuned.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
I'll be honest with you. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
I know you've been going high volume, trig Rob, your
volume has been higher than me in the yearly going
as well in collegeams. But right now you can get
all basketball from any of us, any of the three
of us, for just forty nine dollars for three days.
So I mean, if you wanted all three of us,
you can kind of pick and choose. I'll be honest
with you. My volume is going to be low in
the early part of the season with college hoops for

(53:58):
the client releases, but I'm gonna have two plays.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
Tonight punching back at two totals.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
Like I said, we will check though that such a
promo is in the works bill, but for right now,
we have discussed that with management. Unfortunately, we don't know
how to publish things live onto the website. That is
not in our job description. We just talk and write
for a living and hopefully pick some winners along the
way for you guys. That's kind of the goal. But

(54:24):
right now, that full court the appropriately named full Court
Press Pass is still available three days for forty nine
dollars all basketball, your favorite handicapper any of our pages
right now.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
I'll say this bill. If you were to email into
customer support, they'll probably just do it for you. They
are very very that we have the best.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Great customer service business.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
They will just do it for you most likely.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
And I think we'll probably have something like that for
the weekend where you just get all the plays for
the three of us up by this afternoon. I think
it was like pretty much a go and they've just
got to get it on to the website.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Keep stay tuned for that. Let's let's see if we can.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I'm just gonna throw one out at random here because
I want to talk about it. I know Rob's gonna
have an opinion, and then we'll wrap it up and recap.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
The parlay Sacramento State.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Rob impressed me a little bit the other night, more
than I thought they were going to. I thought your
UCSB play was good by halftime.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
I thought they were gonna get run out of their
own building.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
But they did some things offensively that I thought were
pretty good, and they managed to hang around in that game.
Now they hit the road to play what I guess,
is there a rival I did not. I was not
hip to the Sacramento State U see Davis rivalry, But
apparently it is and they've taken money at this point, Rob,

(55:46):
do you want to punch back at all with you
see Davis here?

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Jim Less a pretty good defensive coach.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
What what's crazy, Adam is to move on the total
here and a half now seven and a half point
move on this game. People in with the Sacramento State
offense the other night. I will say this real quick
because I'm looking at the clock and I see we
might be up against it here, so we want to
get some stuff in before we get off the air.
Santa Barbara and Davis are two different teams stylistically, and

(56:14):
to me, it was easier. It's a little bit easier
to score as far as full game total is concerned
when you're playing Santa Barbara, because there's such an efficient
offensive team, they're going to get theirs right and Sacramento
States showed that they could get theirs. Davis is like molasses.
They don't really want jim Less play slow. Can you
crank them up? Can you speed them up? I guess
the market thinks you can. What worries me about you

(56:36):
see Davis here is they're number three forty four in
turnover percentage in the country. Twenty four and a half
percent of their possessions turned into turnovers against Sack State.
That could be a lot of trouble here. You might
want to lean Sacramento State team total in this game.
It looks like even though it's on the road, it
gets a slower team, they may be able to get
some cheap buckets and push their team total over.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
I was trying to find a note.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
I did take some notes on this one, and I
feel like I wrote down.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
I want to I want to get a live look
at that desk for Trigg that he's just got random.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
You see davis notes laying on the desk.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Notes a couple ahead of the grocery store.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
You see davis defensive efficiency numbers.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
You just thought I thought they might have someone out
because I my gut was.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
To peer that's what But by you is is dropped?
Is saying you see Davis also missing their stud Elijah Pepper.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Yeah, and and I thought that might be.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Yeah, I actually think they might have a second guy out,
so that would be that's something like that might be
the reason for the move because like, if they were healthy,
I would punch back at that move all day.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Uh, I knew Pepper was was not going to play.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
But I think they might have a second key player out,
And I just I don't want to like say it
because I got to look into that a little bit more,
but rab that would probably support your under theory that
much more if they're without you know, a couple of
their scores.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
So yeah, Pepper, I feel later all year, I don't
think guys, no.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
It wasn't Pepper, It's it's uh, it's a different. Let
me see if I can just find it real quick here,
I'll tell you who it was. I really should. I
just you know, Brian, You're right. The desk is a mess.
There's there's notes everywhere.

Speaker 5 (58:24):
Jay Buff has chimed in with find the North North
Texas Stilts.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
I feel we do got it.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (58:29):
I got it, Okay, dude, dude, I feel if we
got ninety seconds left. I feel I feel that Jay
buff is gonna call the you know, FCC if we
don't get to one of his questions.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Now, we we gotta we gotta wrap it up because
we've got the hard stop.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
But I will tell you I found it.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
It's it's Niles Cooper for UC Davis eighteen points in
the opener, sixteen points against North Dakota State did not
play against Portland, So you've been down Pepper. If you're
down Cooper as well. Uh, for sure, that's probably an
issue for Davis. That would probably talk me off the
Davis side, but I think it would support Rob looking
toward the under. So that's what I'll leave you with there,

(59:05):
and then we'll leave you with a three teamer, which
hopefully is a winner to close out the week. It's
so I'm gonna call it five to one because I've
priced in some juice here.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
You can definitely find better than five.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
To one on this parlay at most places, probably more
like plus five twenty plus five thirty. But for us,
just because I know some people might see this late,
we'll call it five to one. We've got Georgia minus
fifteen for Brian power Hofstra on the money line for
me and Rob's gonna bring us home with Providence Colorado
under one sixty three and a half.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
One more time for the people in the back.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
That's Georgia minus fifteen Pastra on the money line Providence Colorado.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Under one sixty three and a half.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Boys, we've made it to the end of of week
two for the full Court Press show. We'll be back
on Monday morning, but check the website because I do
think there will be a special for the three of
us to get all the plays for the weekend, just
so you don't miss us, and we'll be back giving
you more Monday morning, ten am Monday through Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
We'll see you guys then maybe over j Buff Yeah,
