This is the great person experience. He

0:03

was like a god blogging some mortals.

0:06

He had a voice that could make a wolverine

0:09

t on Vson these sports

0:11

betting network work.

0:17

This is a great Peterson experience of Vison,

0:19

the Sports Betting Network. And we've got a pair

0:21

of tremendous hours coming up for you as it's

0:23

just a great time a year in general. MLB's

0:26

Opening Day is going on right now as

0:28

the world champion Texas Rangers are going

0:31

at it, and do you have to pass along a little

0:33

bit of a note on that game in a second that is

0:35

actually very very important for some

0:37

of you that might have taken some futures where

0:39

they go look at these two Sweet sixteen games

0:41

as well. So lots of live action on

0:43

the show tonight will be turning it forward to these

0:46

Sweet sixteen games that we're going to be getting a little

0:48

bit later, and then we will also be diving

0:50

in on what we're all getting on Friday as

0:52

well and joining me along the way. We've got a

0:54

pair of tremendous guys, says, We're going to be

0:56

joined in fifteen minutes by Tom Caselli does

0:58

great work over a Nola.

1:00

We're gonna be.

1:00

Discussing with him how he's playing these Sweet

1:03

sixteen games, if there's anything that he's liking

1:05

in terms of the NCAA tournament, and

1:07

just maybe in terms of style

1:10

wise what he's noticing as well, because we do

1:12

have a lot of games involving conflicting styles

1:14

here in the Sweet sixteen. Certainly seeing

1:16

an interesting one between Clemson and Arizona.

1:19

We'll get you guys caught up on that in a second

1:21

and then an hour number two. Kobe

1:23

Danty does tremendous workover at the Sports

1:25

Gamiley Podcast. So work does a great job

1:27

with their show. The College Experience is going to

1:29

be joining man. We're going to be diving in on what

1:32

we're going to be seeing later on tonight and into

1:34

Friday with him as well. So we do have

1:37

a pair of great guests and we've got a lot of great

1:39

action to get you caught up on, and certainly

1:41

we'll get you a little bit of a look at the NCAA

1:43

Tournament in a second. But do want to pass

1:45

this along anyone that was betting on

1:47

this opening day game between the Texas Rangers

1:50

and the chicag Cubs, and personally my

1:52

write up was on the Texas Rangers. You always love

1:54

to be able to benefit, but you never want to see

1:56

something like this. Justin Steele just

1:58

went out of this game between the Cubs and the Rangers.

2:01

He was holding I believe it

2:03

was his upper leg.

2:05

I don't know if.

2:06

It was a quad or if it was

2:08

maybe just towards the area of the

2:11

quad something like that, but he has left

2:13

this game. He was going after a ground ball

2:15

there was like a bun slash, a swinging

2:18

bunt if you're going to call it that, and trying

2:20

to field it went down and he is

2:22

out of this game. So it is now a bullpen

2:25

game from here on out for the Chicago Cubs.

2:27

Bottom of the fifthness is the game that's tied up

2:29

one to one with Rangers having two outside

2:31

a man on base. But that's very, very significant

2:33

for a Cub seem that many people are thinking are

2:35

going to be able to win the Nlcentral. I don't necessarily

2:38

disagree with that. I think that they and the Reds

2:40

are your main two teams. Someone

2:43

that grew up in the Great State of Wisconsin, and I'm still

2:45

a little bit upset that the Milwaukee

2:48

Burris decided to trade away Corbyn burns for

2:50

a bag of balls, DL Hall and an ice

2:52

cream sandwich. I wish

2:54

I was kidding when I made that, but other

2:57

than the ic scream sandwich part, I don't think

2:59

that I'm kidding. It's about what they got for them,

3:01

and well, yeah, it's going to be

3:03

a long season out there for many of those. I

3:05

mean both these centrals, like the Al

3:08

Central is rough to say the lease.

3:09

I do think that we could see.

3:11

The Tigers, who are able to get their job done against the

3:13

Chicago White Sox one to zero, be able

3:15

to rise up in that division. You certainly

3:17

have the Cleveland Guardians, but they're great pitching,

3:19

but you've got no offense from like any

3:21

of those teams. The White Sox got completely shut

3:24

out today, they will completely butterless.

3:26

And that's going to be rough to take a look at,

3:28

to say the lease, and when it comes

3:30

to a little bit rough to say lease. Right

3:32

now, the second half for San Diego State has been

3:34

as well. They're currently trailing by a count of fifty

3:37

one to thirty seven, got about thirteen thirty

3:39

two remaining in the second half of this one.

3:41

Your liveline is Yukon being a fifteen and a half

3:43

point favorite, as San Diego State six

3:45

points in the first six a half minutes of the

3:47

half, and it's just all about with Yukon

3:49

being able to wear teams down because with this Yukon

3:52

bunch, they just do so many things

3:54

well at this point. And personally, I'm one

3:56

of the schmucks that did take eleven points with San

3:58

Diego State, so I'm very much sweating

4:00

this out hoping that they're able

4:03

to just claw their way back into this one.

4:05

And you know, the Hornets's that you're diving

4:07

into with regards to this Yukon team and betting against

4:09

them. Top ten team in the country in terms of both points

4:11

a looted and points scored on a per possession

4:13

basis, and I truly do think that we're just looking

4:16

at the best team in all of college bassball right

4:18

now. I think that the biggest thing is if

4:20

you're able to really be able

4:22

to deny them good three point looks, that's

4:24

the way to be able to knock them off. But even

4:27

when they went ice cold in that game against Northwestern

4:29

towards the back of it, they were still absolutely

4:31

steamrolling them in that game as well. So

4:34

hey man, this is a Yukon team that when you've

4:36

got Giant of the Earth Donovan Klingon down low

4:38

and you get Alex Caravan, who I really

4:41

think is forgotten man for you Ukon because

4:43

we talk about Tristan Newton and as triple doubles, we

4:45

talk about Donovan Klington the rent

4:47

protector that he is, and I mean rightfully so,

4:49

these are two amazing players. But Caravan is

4:51

a guy with size that you'd start near forty percent

4:54

from three pintrange. He does an amazing job

4:56

of being able to generate a few turnovers. He's

4:58

just such a Swiss army knife eye out there

5:00

out on the floor. I think that he

5:02

really is one of those guys that gets

5:04

a little bit forgotten about it, and wrongfully so because

5:07

he has been so good for his Yukon team.

5:09

But we shall see what happens there. And right now in

5:11

Arizona versus Clemson, it's become

5:13

a little bit more of a slog. Arizona

5:15

was able to get out to a nice second half to start

5:17

out with. Right now we're staring at sixty five

5:20

sixty one Live totals one forty

5:22

eight and a half. Right now, Live Clemson is

5:24

a three and a half point favorite, and I said,

5:26

going into this, really, other than Yukon losing

5:28

out right, I wouldn't be surprised if

5:31

really any of these other teams

5:33

in the sweet sixteen we're able to survive in advents.

5:35

And now is the time where you do get into

5:37

really the toughest games to be able to handicap.

5:39

These are the sharpest lines out there.

5:41

If you're a little bit new to college basketball,

5:43

if you're looking for edges, they're going to be much

5:45

harder to come by now rather than when

5:47

you're early on during the season. And that's

5:49

the way that it is in any sport. Like when

5:52

you hear us talk about the super Bowl year

5:54

and in year out, you have to notice

5:56

that when we talk about the super Bowl, oftentimes

5:58

we're taking a look at player props, a look

6:00

at things that maybe other people aren't picking

6:02

up on. Because that full game side,

6:05

that full game total, it's about the sharpest line

6:07

that you're gonna get all season long. And it's a big reason

6:09

why you get so much two way action from

6:12

sharp book from just sharp

6:14

syndicates, from sharp betters in

6:16

general on both sides, because it's

6:18

really easy to make a case for both of those teams

6:21

when you get into the Sweet sixteen, Elite eight

6:23

Final four. Same thing happens in college

6:25

basketball, where there's very very knowledgeable

6:27

people. There's very smart people that are on both

6:30

sides in terms of these matchups as

6:32

well, and these are hard games to be able to parts

6:34

through and that's what makes it just so much

6:36

cush yarn and fun. As we are taking a look at

6:38

the NCAA tournament right here on the Great Pierson Experience

6:40

on Visa, the Sports Bank Network and just

6:42

recognizing what we're seeing in game is

6:44

very valid and I think that it's something that

6:47

should be done as well. Like I'm taking a look at this Clemson

6:49

versus Arizona game, and you're able to take

6:51

a look at this one of two ways. Like in

6:53

watching this game, there's no question

6:55

about it Arizona they have benefited from a

6:57

few calls. But if you're listening to Visa

6:59

Prime Time a few minutes ago, John von Tobal,

7:01

Tim Murray, they do an absolutely tremendous shop with

7:03

that shoe. They were very much pointing out

7:06

and rightfully so, that the bounces

7:08

that went the way of Clemson. Like if you take a look at

7:10

these shot quality data score right now. Arizona,

7:13

they're the team that in a normal case,

7:15

they would be leading this game with the quality of shots

7:17

that they've taken. Clemson, they've got a

7:19

few shots to.

7:20

Be able to bank in. But that's the beauty of one

7:22

and done.

7:23

Like when you are in baseball,

7:25

for example, today is opening they if

7:27

you like, take a look at this.

7:30

I was just bringing up the Texas Rangers versus

7:33

Chicago Cubs game. Let's say that

7:35

there's a ball that flies out of the yard that it

7:37

would only be a home run and like eight

7:39

out of thirty parks or something like that, and

7:41

you say, hey, that picture got a little bit unlucky.

7:44

You know what, You're able to take them in the X start. You're

7:46

able to take him two starts later. Things should

7:48

iron out when it comes to one and done. An area

7:51

like this and Clemson versus Arizona, if

7:53

you have a team that might be on the short end of the stick,

7:55

like Arizona might be in this one, it turns bounces,

7:58

well, that's luck betting them in two thousand, twenty

8:00

four to twenty five, because that's going to be your

8:02

next opportunity. And it is all about trying

8:04

to be able to gauge what we're seeing right now and recognizing

8:06

that, hey, sometimes bounces are.

8:08

Not necessarily going to go your way.

8:10

And we shall see if Arizona is

8:12

going to be able to get by here, as they're currently

8:14

down three with about two twenty three remaining

8:17

in that one. And do want to take a look at

8:19

what we're going to be getting a little bit later on as well.

8:21

Certainly going to be diving into these games along

8:23

with the games for Friday a little bit later on as well.

8:25

But we've got Alabama versus North Carolina

8:27

that is going to be dipping off in most

8:29

likely about forty five or so minutes. This

8:31

is the game that is going to be occurring

8:34

after Clemson versus Arizona. And right

8:36

now we're holding relatively steudy, with North

8:38

Carolina being a four and a half point favorite on a lot of

8:40

books. But I am noticing that a lot of books like DraftKings,

8:43

now you have to lay more of a minus one fifteen

8:45

juice on North Carolina, and this total

8:47

has liked up now to about one seventy four and a half.

8:49

And I do feel like this game might be a little bit

8:51

more correlated. I do think that for

8:54

North Carolina. In overspot

8:56

they can still win the game with it going over

8:58

but I feel like in overboat a little bit better

9:00

for Alabama. Meanwhile on underploads

9:02

a little bit better for North Carolina. And the reason

9:05

why I do say that is you just take a look at

9:07

the three point shooting numbers. Alabama

9:09

is a team that they absolutely love

9:12

to take the three. In terms of their overall

9:14

three point shooting percent, Jay been one of the best teams in

9:16

all of college basketball. Alabama's whole they're

9:18

shooting thirty six point seven percent for three. That's

9:20

thirty first in all of college basketball. Does

9:23

go down to about thirty four point two percent

9:25

when they do play games in a roadside shote court

9:27

setting. But you've got a North Carolina team that's

9:29

done a really good job, I'll be able to guard the arc

9:32

call season long away from home, they're allowing opponents

9:34

to shoot just twenty nine point nine percent for three. But

9:36

another reason why I say this in terms of Alabama,

9:38

the percentage of their shots that they

9:41

take from three point range forty six

9:43

and a half percent. That is nineteenth in all of

9:45

college basketball. And when you've got a team that's as

9:47

uptempo as Alabama is taking

9:49

a look at that sort of battle. If they're breaking

9:52

shots early, if they are dayble to get shots

9:54

to fall, that is going to be doomsday for them.

9:56

And if you're taking a look at the side of

9:58

North Carolina, if they're able to get those

10:00

misses are in good shape. If Alabama is hitting

10:03

them, they're in a rough spot as well. Like, this is

10:05

the sort of game where I would say that, even

10:07

though the number I think is pretty sharp,

10:09

in my opinion, I set the summer at five. Personally,

10:11

I did take the side of North Carolina.

10:13

But that said, if you are taking a look at this game

10:15

a little bit late and you're deciding what way

10:17

to go about it, this could be your classic

10:20

game where perhaps you take a look at a little bit of an alter

10:22

and it's spread. If you like the side of Alabama,

10:25

maybe you just take them out right on the money line,

10:27

just because I don't see a lot of cases where

10:29

Alabama is just missing shots

10:31

left and right, their ice cold and they're still

10:34

able to hold in this game by losing by like

10:36

three or four. I meanwhile, if North Carolina

10:38

is forcing a lot of misses from this Alabama

10:41

team, I think that they could be able to win this game by

10:43

double figures, and that is something that you do

10:45

want to be trying to take a look at to be able to maximize

10:47

profit, because there are some games where

10:49

you absolutely don't want to be doing that whatsoever,

10:51

like the lower possession games,

10:54

the games with lower variants, those are

10:56

the games where you very much want to be

10:58

sicking with the minus one ten. You don't want

11:00

to be having to try to incur

11:02

and having to try to win by more

11:04

than what that actual spread is right now. Meanwhile,

11:07

in a game like this where it does feel like it's a little

11:09

bit higher varias, that's where you might want to

11:11

be able to maximize try to be able to get a little bit

11:13

more bang for your buck. And personally, I do like

11:15

this Sola under I set mind at a one sixty

11:17

nine. We've been seeing that go up quite a bit. When I was

11:19

douing the show yesterday, we are seeing more of a

11:21

one to seventy three and a half. And we've

11:24

got a lot of intrigue going on here as it is

11:26

still sixty six sixty three in Arizona Clemson,

11:28

we are down to the final two twenty

11:30

three in that one. We've got you con up

11:32

by fourteen points against San Diego State. We'll

11:35

be keeping your eyes there, but we have to turn it forward

11:37

a little bit more to Friday as well.

11:38

We will do so. Tom Casali, who does great

11:40

workover at NOLA dot com.

11:42

12:20

As we're back here on the Great Peterson Experience of

12:22

VI said the Sports Banking Network, joining me on

12:24

the progressive guest line. We've got Tom Casali

12:26

does great work over at NOLA dot com

12:29

taking a look at this great game of college

12:31

basketball.

12:31

Tom. It's great to have you board. Thank you so much. Thanks

12:34

for having me, Greg, thank you.

12:36

For joining me and Tom. As we are

12:38

doing this right now. Yukon is up sixty

12:40

two forty fourth, about eight and a half minutes

12:42

remaining. Barring something very very

12:44

extreme, they should be able to survive in advance

12:47

make it to the Elit eight. And my question

12:49

for you is, is there any team in

12:51

this field right now that you feel good about taking

12:54

down Yukon, Because I think that is very

12:56

clear right now.

12:56

They are the team to beat in this tournament.

13:00

I don't know if I feel good about it. But let's

13:02

look at the other end of the spectrum. Right Yukon has

13:05

played Northwestern and San Diego

13:07

State. Those teams aren't built to beat Yukon.

13:09

If I had to say the one

13:12

team they have to get there, I don't

13:14

think Iowa States the team. Iowa

13:16

State doesn't have enough offense. I think Illinois

13:19

could outscore them. That's the only

13:21

way, you know what I mean. Illinois

13:23

is not going to stop them. They would have to

13:25

win. Ninety two to eighty

13:28

eight. Thriller is the way I

13:30

see Yukon not repeating. That's

13:33

it. I don't think a defensive minded

13:35

team is going to stop Yukon enough,

13:37

because first of all, Yukon's defense is very good.

13:40

You just have to find an offense that's going

13:42

to outscore them. On that night, and

13:44

right now in that side

13:46

of the bracket, I only see Illinois

13:49

as a team that could do it. But you know, Illinois has

13:51

the ninety second ranked defensive efficiency,

13:53

so you know, listen,

13:55

what they've been doing the last two years is

13:57

super impressive. It's hard to

14:00

blowout every opponent in the NCAA

14:02

tournament.

14:03

Yeah, I mean, no doubt about it. It is in this

14:05

Yukon team.

14:06

They have covered the spread in everyone their

14:08

nc DOUBLEA Tournament games in this run

14:11

thus far. And let's if San Diego State

14:13

is a will make a little bit of a charge to be able to get within

14:15

the eleven. Right now, it is looking like that

14:17

is not going to be the case for them. But taking

14:19

a look forward, as we do have a few games that are

14:21

going to be coming up later on tonight, Yukon

14:24

most likely is going to be facing the winner of

14:26

this game. Illinois versus IWA sayd and

14:28

talk about two very different styles.

14:30

I would say a top three team

14:32

the country turns points a lot on a per possession basis,

14:35

Illinois scoring the most points of any team

14:37

per possession and games played away from home.

14:39

The subtle'sked up a little bit too about a one forty

14:41

seven a half to a one forty eight with I would state

14:44

holding SETI has a one a half point favorite. How do

14:46

you take a look at this game of two constracting

14:49

styles, Because I just take a look at

14:51

this, and I do think that this is one of the hardest

14:53

games handicap because it's whatever team gets

14:56

their style that is going to be able to win this game.

14:57

In my opinion, I agree,

15:00

and I think this is more of a live bet. Out

15:03

of all the games I handicap, this was the toughest

15:05

one. You know, you got the number one team in offensive

15:07

efficiency versus the number one team in defensive

15:09

efficiency. You just don't get that very

15:11

often. I think the plus for Iowa

15:14

State though, is like, again, if they played

15:16

a Yukon, Yukon's defense is

15:18

going to be too tough for them. I think they

15:20

can score against Illinois, So if

15:22

their defense is just you

15:25

know, playing decent tonight and not letting

15:27

Illinois get in the eighties nineties, I

15:29

think they have a good chance to move on. But

15:31

just from a fan perspective, like I said,

15:34

I would rather, I mean, I have a futures

15:36

on Iowa State, so I'm rooting for that. But if

15:38

you're looking just for pure entertainment value,

15:40

I think Yukon Illinois would be probably

15:43

one of the games of the tournament, similar to that Saint

15:45

John's Yukon game where it went back

15:47

and forth for forty minutes.

15:49

Oh I remember that game. Both teams were just

15:51

hitting shot after shot. That was some of

15:53

the best offense I've really seen all

15:56

season long. That was highly impressive. So that

15:58

would be nice to be able to see. As joining

16:00

me on the show, we do have Tom Kassali does

16:02

great workover at NOLA dot com on the Grey

16:04

Peterson Experience of Visa Esports Bank Network.

16:06

And just as we did that, Clemson now seventy

16:09

four to seventy twenty five and a half seconds

16:11

remaining, and for Clemson, if they're able to hold

16:13

on, they will advance to be able to face off against

16:15

the winner of this game. Alabama versus North

16:17

Carolina. This is a game that was talking about

16:20

just a few minutes ago in North Carolina being a

16:22

four and a half point favorite. How do you evaluate

16:24

this matchup because the one thing that I was talking

16:26

about with this one is if you didn't get the

16:28

best of the number of North Carolina, maybe

16:30

you do take a look a little bit more of an alternate

16:32

spread, because I think out of all the Sweet Sixteen

16:34

games, this game might have the most variance where

16:36

the team that wins it, I feel like might be able to win

16:39

it by a larger margin just because, for one, you

16:41

get larger amount of points in two with the way

16:43

that Alabama takes so many threes, that causes

16:45

for just more variants in general in a game.

16:47

Typically, Yeah, I hit.

16:49

North Carolina as soon as it came out at

16:51

three and a half. This is my favorite

16:53

play of the Sweet Sixteen. I

16:55

just when you look at Alabama, they

16:58

pound inferior opponents, right, so it's

17:00

not surprising that they beat Charleston and Grand

17:02

Canyon. I mean Grand Canyon had thirty

17:04

seven foul shots and this fourteen of

17:07

them. North Carolina lives at

17:09

the line. Alabama is

17:11

three hundred and twenty six and opponents foul

17:13

shots attempted per game. This does

17:16

not set up well for Alabama unless they're

17:18

hitting like twelve to fifteen threes. To

17:20

me, you look at these teams and North Carolina

17:23

has multiple ways to win. Alabama

17:26

has to be red hot from three point range. That's

17:28

the only chance I see, you know against

17:30

the Ken Palm Top thirty greag they're

17:33

two to ten Alabama and they give

17:35

up over eighty four points a game. At

17:37

some point, third defense was going to get them,

17:39

and I think it gets them tonight.

17:40

Yeap.

17:41

I do think so as well. And may we're

17:43

able to have a nice showing against Grand Canyon. But let's

17:45

call it what it is. Grand Canyon not quite

17:47

on the same level as what you're

17:49

going to be seeing out in North Carolina teen that just does

17:52

a tremendous job of bearing teams with regards

17:54

there at three point shooting defense. And it is

17:56

Clemson that indeed survives in advances

17:58

seventy seven to seventy two. So if you took the under,

18:01

you got there. Clemson, they do get

18:03

the job done. They I'm looking at

18:05

Circus Sports book right now, you're seeing some cheering.

18:08

There's not a whole lot of reaction as

18:10

of right now. I think that there's more people involved

18:12

in the Yukon game as of right now. But that

18:15

said, what do you make out of Clemson being able

18:17

to make it to the Elite eight and facing off

18:19

against the winner of either North Carolina or

18:21

Alabama. Because I do think that at North Carolina

18:23

versus Clemson game will be so intriguing because

18:25

I know, like Clemson was able to pick off a lot

18:27

of the top teams in the ACC towards being part

18:30

of conference play.

18:32

Yeah, so you're talking and they took down Alabama too.

18:35

Yeah, And so you're talking to somebody

18:37

who has a lot riding on

18:39

a North Carolina futures bet. Right now,

18:41

I can tell you from that perspective, I wanted

18:43

Arizona. I hate familiarity

18:46

in the NCAA tournament. Clemson

18:49

knows North Carolina, They've beaten North

18:51

Carolina. So I think that's going to be a

18:53

tougher game from that standpoint. And the other

18:55

thing is this is, you know, Gray, Listen, the

18:57

regular season's great, but the tournament

19:00

we start all over. And if you rank

19:02

the teams right now, I don't know we're Clemson

19:04

ranks in terms of top five, but they're in

19:06

it. They have held Arizona

19:09

to seventy two. They held New

19:11

Mexico and Baylor to under sixty.

19:13

The way they've played defense and they didn't play

19:15

any patsis they've played three really

19:18

good offensive teams. As somebody

19:20

is listened, if North Carolina survives tonight and

19:22

moves on. I'm nervous in that Elite

19:24

eight matchup, and.

19:26

Very interesting that you mentioned the fact that Clemson

19:28

played so much good competition as well. They're coach

19:30

Briant Brownell. He came out well

19:32

before the NCAA tournament. So this isn't

19:35

like revisionist history from Brad Bronnell.

19:37

He came out and he's like, this net ranking

19:39

is complete garbage. The Big Twelve is playing against

19:41

a bunch of bad teams. We're playing against real

19:44

teams. Because we mentioned the win

19:46

that they had over TCU, they were able to knock

19:48

off Alabama, they played a really tough

19:50

schedule. They didn't get as much love as a

19:52

lot of those Big twelve teams right now, acc

19:55

backing it the heck up. So you've

19:57

got to give them credit where credit is due.

20:00

How about if we do take a look at a little bit of what

20:02

we're going to be getting for Friday as well, because

20:04

I do think that this is one of the more interesting games

20:06

on the board. It's going to be Gonzaga versus Purdue.

20:08

Purdue is, in my opinion, a team that

20:11

very few teams can match up with. But if

20:13

there is one in their side the region

20:15

that does, I honestly think Gonzaga

20:17

does with having Graymyk down low. With

20:20

Gonzaga being a top five team in terms

20:22

of points scored on a per possession basis, I

20:24

think that this is a little bit of a rough draft for Purdue.

20:26

Who would say five and a half point favorite. I'm not

20:28

sure you evaluate this, but I do give

20:30

Purdue a little bit of an edge straight up. But at

20:32

five and a half, I think that this summer has gotten a little

20:34

bit too lofty.

20:36

Yeah, no, I agree. I think this is a good

20:38

match up here. I think it's going to be a good game. One

20:40

of the things I would say is, if you're betting

20:42

it live or betting second halfs, see

20:45

how they're calling fouls. Because if ek

20:47

gets in foul trouble against ed,

20:49

I think that opens up an edge for Purdue

20:52

moving forward. If they have to keep sitting him because

20:54

of fouls, then I give the edge to Purdue.

20:56

I think this is going to be kind of a fast paced game.

20:58

You'll produce one of those team. They'll play any style

21:01

the Big Ten. A lot of those teams like to play

21:03

slower, but they like to get out in transition,

21:06

and we know Gonzaga likes to play fast,

21:08

so you know, one fifty four and a half's kind

21:10

of high. But I do think there's going to be opportunities

21:13

live to maybe live over. I

21:15

think this is going to be a fun, entertaining, back and

21:17

forth game.

21:18

Absolutely. I think so as well.

21:20

We've got a little bit over a minute remaining

21:22

anything else that you're going to be taking a look at

21:24

with regards to the Sweet sixteen games for Friday,

21:26

as we've got three other really good matchups

21:28

that are going to be going down.

21:30

Yeah, I feel like we're going to see

21:32

a motivated Houston team. The

21:35

Texas A and M kind of matched up pretty

21:38

well with them, but you got to remember Houston was up

21:40

twelve in that game and they kind of let

21:42

it slip away at the end and it went

21:44

into overtime. I think you're going to see a

21:46

motivated Houston team. And if you look at Duke

21:49

teams they struggled against this year, you know, Arizona

21:51

North Carolina twice, it was teams

21:54

that bullied them in the paint, and Houston's

21:56

a very physical team. So I think

21:58

that's going to be interesting. And I think NC

22:01

State Marquette. That's an interesting

22:03

game because Marquette does not have a lot

22:05

of size down low, and we know one thing

22:07

NC State has its size. So

22:09

I'm gonna be looking at that game. But I like Houston

22:12

tomorrow. I think that's the play and

22:14

I think you're gonna see the best Houston team we've

22:16

seen in a month.

22:17

I love it. I've got Houston on my bracket.

22:19

I've got Houston Lang four in this game.

22:22

And we've always got great insights when

22:24

you're a board, Tom, you do such great work at Doula

22:26

dot com and your time is always appreciated.

22:28

22:31

It is always great to get Tom Kassali

22:33

22:35

of action that's going to be going down with two remaining

22:37

Sweet sixteen games, and hey, we've still got

22:39

three games I've yet to have first pitch in terms

22:42

We're back here on the Greg Beers said experience on Visa

23:53

and Esports Banking Network and early games

23:56

in the NCAA Tournament.

23:57

They are coming to a close.

23:58

We saw Clemson all right, get the job done seventy

24:01

seven to seventy two, and Yukon's

24:03

currently up seventy three to forty eight with

24:05

three.

24:06

Point fifty four remaining.

24:07

Now, sports betting and sports in general,

24:09

you don't want to call it over until it's over.

24:11

And we could see San Diego State make up

24:13

bond site charge perhaps be able to cover the spread.

24:16

But let's call it what it is.

24:17

If you come blows the twenty five point lead, I'm

24:19

very willing to eat Crow, but I'm going to advance him to

24:21

the next round. At this point, we shall see

24:23

what they're gonna get in terms of the Illinois versus

24:25

Iowa say game. But right now Yukon

24:28

is just a complete another bulldozer. They have

24:30

yet to fail to cover a game in the NCAA

24:32

Tournament in this most recent run. By the way,

24:34

if you want to trivia question,

24:36

last team to knock off Yukon in the NCAA

24:39

tournament actually Chris Jans when he was

24:41

over at New Mexico State. So shout

24:43

out to the old Egg. He's who remember sent

24:45

it. And it's been a long and winding road for them

24:48

to say the least. But right now

24:50

Yukon in very good shape, but it's

24:52

still a little bit of total intrigue

24:54

in this one as well.

24:55

Right now, the life total is one thirty.

24:57

Three and a half, So anyone that took this at

24:59

between about one on thirty five on thirty

25:01

six, whether you took the over or the under, going

25:03

to be sweating this one out. And it's all about whether

25:05

or not Walkee mcwalk on once hit

25:07

a shot here late in this one. But they're

25:09

going to be taking on the winner of Illinois

25:11

versus Iowa, sayd And this is a game

25:13

that is going to be coming up right after San Diego s versus

25:16

Yukon, So expect this one to come up

25:18

about forty five to fifty minutes

25:20

from now.

25:21

With Iowa State.

25:22

They're currently a one half point favorite across the board,

25:24

so it is between one forty seven and one forty

25:26

eight. And if you listen to the show yesterday with

25:28

regards to my DK now we're right up on this one.

25:30

I am on Iowa said and still holding steady

25:33

with this one. I'd be willing to lay up to three with Iowa

25:35

Sate. I do think that in a strength on strengths sort

25:37

of battle, you do have to take a look at all.

25:40

Right, out of the non strengths,

25:42

which team is able to better execute? And I

25:44

think that the Iowa State offense is better

25:46

than the Illinois defense. Illinois, it's about

25:48

tour and fiftieth in all of college basketball in terms of opponents

25:51

three point shooting percentine games played away from

25:53

home, and when they're away from home, they're

25:55

touring sixty second in all of college basketball, turns

25:57

points alot on a purposession basis, And certainly

26:00

this Iowa State offense it does

26:02

not hold a candle to the Illinois

26:04

offense, while the Illinois defense does

26:06

not do that to the Iowa State defense.

26:08

But that's up for Iowa.

26:10

Say they're a top fifty team in terms of points

26:12

scored on a purpose edge basis. You got Tim

26:14

on Lips Feet, Kasehn Gilbert, pair of guys

26:16

that will give you north of thirty one or

26:18

thirty two points per contest. They do a

26:20

nice job being able to doll out the ball. The question

26:22

for Iowa sad is can they do a good job

26:25

on the glass and can they, for lack of a better

26:27

term, force Illinois out of the painted

26:29

area, because so much when you have a

26:31

team that's a little bit under size, and Iowa State

26:33

is making sure that you are able

26:36

to keep Illinois just away from the painted

26:38

area in general, because they've got a lot of

26:40

good sides. They've got someone like a Coleman Hawkins

26:42

along with Quincy Garrier that they play inside

26:45

out. Both of these guys shoot north of thirty six percent

26:47

from three points. Both of these guys holding their

26:49

six plus rebounds per contest, they both give you

26:51

double figures. So that's really going to be

26:53

the matchup that you want to be watching

26:56

for in this game. But I do think that Iowa State is

26:58

able to do just enough with the likes of Trey Ca and

27:00

company to hold in there on the glass despite the

27:02

fact that this is an IOWASA team that they leave

27:04

a little bit of something to be desired there. It's a Illinois

27:07

team that's actually number twelve in all of college basketball

27:09

reguards to rebound rate. They do a solid job on both the

27:11

offensive and defensive side of things.

27:13

Meanwhile, it's an IOWASA team that in terms of their

27:15

rebound rate they're clocking and more around about one hundred

27:18

and fifty fourth in all of college basketball.

27:20

But I do think that they're going to be able to do just enough

27:22

hold in there on the glass. And when it comes to typically

27:25

offense versus defense, I do find

27:27

myself maybe this is just stubbornly,

27:29

but I typically do default a little bit

27:31

more to the defense, especially when you've got a neutral

27:34

court setting, especially when you got

27:36

unfamiliar surroundings, and I

27:38

do feel like a jump shown is going to go on you

27:40

a little bit more than just defensive

27:42

effort and defensive tenacity in

27:44

general. So I do like this spot for ioway

27:46

say, I do think that they get the job done. That was

27:48

my right up for today, and so plenty

27:51

of time to get in there there, and if

27:53

you were looking at my right up in terms of baseball

27:55

today, right now, we're sweating that one out.

27:57

It's currently two to two.

27:58

In terms of Cubs versus Rangers going to

28:00

the top of seventh thting, Justin Seal got

28:02

the surf for the Cubs.

28:03

He went out of this game early.

28:05

I'm trying to see if we can get a little

28:07

bit of injury intel on it because

28:09

he went out after he had fielded.

28:11

A ground ball. Hopefully it's just

28:13

a cramp.

28:14

I would hate to see him suffer any sort

28:16

of a bad injury or anything like that. He's a very very

28:18

special player, but that is something

28:20

that we do want to be taking a look at because

28:23

he was dealing with a hamstring injury.

28:25

He was holding that when he was leaving the field,

28:27

So you want to be looking for one of those

28:29

reports. If we do see any of those, whether

28:31

it be good, bad, or indifferent, I will be passing

28:34

that along right here on the Greg Peerson Experience

28:36

on Visa the Sports Bank Network. But we do have

28:38

a few other games for baseball to take a look

28:40

at as well, as we've taken a look at what we've all

28:42

got for college basketball tonight, and we'll be turning

28:44

it forward to the Friday games a little

28:46

bit more in hour number two. But for

28:48

those of you looking to sweat a few baseball

28:51

games latest, we've got a lot of action that's

28:53

going to be going down.

28:54

And will say this right now, a.

28:55

Team that I'm not going to be betting tonight is the Colorado

28:58

Rockies. Right now, they are between a plus on eighty

29:00

five to a plus one ninety underdog.

29:02

It's all.

29:02

This game is say between eight to eight and a half between

29:04

they and the Years and the Diamondbacks. This is nine thirteen

29:07

ninety fourteen on the card for Zach Allen

29:09

not necessarily a guy that I'm super duper

29:11

bullishawn coming into the season, as I do feel

29:13

like he wore down a little bit towards back

29:15

half of last season. As you tell that

29:18

with the added workload he through

29:20

about two hundred and forty three innings

29:22

last season. That was starting to wear on them

29:24

a little bit. But man, this is a col Rade Rocky team

29:26

that's relatively rough.

29:27

Now.

29:28

If you are starting to see some of moost eights

29:30

pop up and I am seeing a lot of

29:32

books going from an eight and a half to an eight, I would

29:34

be starting to take a look at the over because with the

29:36

col Rade Rockies, the seam always has very

29:38

demonstrative home and roads place in terms of

29:40

offense. You don't have to deal with that as

29:43

of right now because they've been dealing with their

29:45

spring training in Arizona. It's not a

29:47

case where they're going from elevation to

29:49

elevation back from elevation and.

29:51

They're doing the back and forth.

29:53

They've been at sea level pretty much

29:55

for the last few months. These guys are

29:57

not having to acclimate to that quite yet.

30:00

I actually do think that that's a little bit of a shall

30:03

we say, benefit or booster to this col

30:05

rido Rockies offense that sells

30:07

Chris Bryant. They still have a few guys

30:09

that are able to give you a little bit.

30:10

Of thumbing power.

30:11

But it's still our relatively awful team

30:13

with just an absolutely brutal bullpen in

30:15

general. And for the years in the Diamondbacks, you still have Keto

30:17

Martee, as I'd like to always say,

30:20

part of the Marte parte doesn't sell

30:22

a job along Corbyn Carroll guys like this.

30:24

I do think that the.

30:24

Diamondbacks should be able to get to a guy in Kyle Freedland

30:27

that his velocity is up, but he's still

30:29

not too much of a strikeout guy. He's still

30:31

someone that has just had his struggles throughout his

30:33

career, and you can't expect him to go overly

30:36

far in this game. So I here at an

30:38

eight, now that we're getting a lot of those pop up I will

30:40

be looking at the over and I do like the Diamondbacks

30:42

on the run line there, and then I do think that this

30:44

is a game of a little bit of intrigue.

30:46

Guys money has.

30:47

Come in on the Oakland a's nine

30:50

nine twenty six on the card, and for anyone

30:52

watching at Visa dot Com YouTube TV, you could

30:55

tell that I gave a very puzzled

30:57

look, and rightfully so is Alex.

30:59

Wood Go for the Oakland Ace.

31:01

Shane Bieber, who has a fever for getting

31:03

outs, is on the bump for Cleveland.

31:05

Cleveland open up at a minus one

31:07

sixty. Now you're finding them as low as

31:09

a minus one thirty six, as high as a minus

31:11

one forty two between plus one twenty

31:14

and plus one thirty two. Year number on Oakland total

31:16

on this game is seven a half shaded down to the

31:18

under end. All of a sudden, If you're finding

31:20

like one of these minus one thirty six is where I

31:22

sit here at CIRCA, you've got a minus one thirty six

31:25

all of a sudden, there's value on the Cleveland Guardians.

31:27

I was not willing to lay a minus one sixty

31:29

early on, but this has started to get to

31:31

a point where I think that's gone

31:33

too far. Like this is an Oakland a seam

31:36

I think is gonna be a little bit better than they were a

31:38

season go, and they were very unlucky

31:40

towards being part of the year. Last year, now they completely

31:42

sunk on ice, but they were unlucky

31:44

and they sunk on ice. But with

31:47

Alex Wood, okay pitcher, he

31:49

was able to post up about a four or five ERA out

31:51

there in San Francisco. But that's one of the most pitcher friendly

31:54

ballparks in baseball. Typically, one a pitcher

31:56

goes to Oakland, they do see a little bit of a bump

31:58

because in Oakland, especially during the

32:00

nighttime, when you've got the marine layer out, you're

32:03

able to really benefit from balls that

32:05

would be out in most parks dying sort

32:07

of at the warning track. Alex Wood

32:09

was already getting that while he was with San Francisco,

32:12

and.

32:12

He wasn't pitching that well over there.

32:14

Like, I don't know what we're expecting this

32:16

Oakland a team that makes us think, oh yeah,

32:19

that's a team I want to be putting my shekels

32:21

on, Like this is an oaklon As team

32:23

that is going to be having I mean, I

32:25

wish I could call it a partial sell out, a complete

32:27

another non sell out whatsoever.

32:29

Going up against the Guardian team that has really good

32:31

pitching, Shane Bieber, he looks

32:33

a little bit better right now in terms of his

32:36

velocity. He's starting to come back to him a little

32:38

bit. He's not the Shane Bieber that we saw in twenty

32:40

twenty where he's getting like fourteen strikeouts

32:42

for nine and nec won the Cy Young Award. That

32:44

was the truncated season

32:46

and as a result, he just had absolutely

32:48

astronomical numbers. But at the same

32:50

time he looks a little bit better. He still

32:52

has relatively good command. He's backed up

32:54

by a bullpen that has James Karen

32:57

Check in the eighth inning and then you got Emmanuel

32:59

class A in the ninth. That it's a nasty eight nine

33:01

combo. For the Oakland A's, you've got Danny

33:03

Amenez and they were able to unearth a few guys

33:05

that weren't absolutely terrible

33:07

in the bullpen. But maybe tell I'd

33:10

phrase it as not absolutely terrible in

33:12

the bullpen. I should tell you all that you need to know

33:14

about the Oakland A's as of right now. So this

33:16

is a spot where I'd be taking a look at the Cleveland Guardians

33:19

out that we've seen this just

33:21

completely plumbing in general, and here at seven and a half,

33:23

I do think that you've got a little bit of value on the under as

33:25

I was mentioning with Marine Layer being out

33:27

with this being a nighttime game in Oakland, very hard

33:29

to be able to hit it out in Cleveland. Leave something

33:31

to be desired on offense. Weave nothing to

33:34

be desired with their college basketball cover. Joe, We'll

33:36

take a look at some fridays we seexteeen games.

34:37

back here on the Great pier Set Experience on Visa d

34:39

Sports Bank Network. It is officially

34:41

final for those that you were that were sweating

34:43

out the total. In Yukon versus San

34:46

Diego State, the game lands on

34:48

one thirty four eighty two

34:50

to fifty two. It is old San

34:52

Diego State getting completely land basive

34:54

by Yukon. And for Yukon last

34:57

non cover in the NCAA tournament,

34:59

that's when they lost straight up to New Mexico

35:01

State in the twenty twenty two nc DOUBLEA

35:04

Tournament. Remember well I had them going

35:06

to the final four that year. I would say year

35:08

too early apparently on that and they

35:11

have now won nine straight NCAA

35:13

tournament games. They flashes up on the screen

35:15

as they were concluding that one

35:18

ninth straight tournament wins for Yukon

35:20

of thirteen plus points. Yeah,

35:22

that's an NCAA tournament record. And now

35:25

for Iowa, say versus Illinois, whoever

35:27

wins this game, we have to go into that hornet's

35:29

nest, so we.

35:30

Shall see what happens there.

35:31

That tip is going to be most

35:33

likely in about thirty to thirty five or so

35:36

minutes. And as I was saying before, I'm

35:38

going to be on iOS in that spot and did something

35:40

I told him more around about a one forty five and a half

35:42

to one forty six. So now that we're north

35:44

of one forty seven, I am on the under

35:46

as well. But what if we take a look at a little

35:48

bit of what we're going to be getting for Friday as

35:50

well? So I do think that we've got some relative we sawid

35:53

games here as we are going to be getting

35:55

set for Alabama versus North Carolina.

35:57

And if you're taking a look at this game, by the way, in terms

35:59

of Obam versus North Carolina was

36:02

mostly seeing four and a half when

36:04

this show started up.

36:05

We are starting to see some five.

36:06

So if you do like North Carolina, probably

36:09

want to take the four and a half now, or if

36:11

you want to utilize something that I was talking

36:13

about a little bit earlier, if there's a team

36:16

that you like and you think that the three point shooting

36:18

variances is going to come into play like I do, perhaps

36:21

looking at an alternate on whatever side you

36:23

like in terms of Alabama, then perhaps being

36:25

able to win this game out right for North Carolina

36:27

them being able to win by closer to like eight or

36:29

so points. That I think is actually a really

36:31

good strategy in a game where I do think that there's going

36:33

to be a lot of variants, and you know that

36:36

Alabama is going to be putting up the threes,

36:38

so we should have a lot of fun there.

36:40

But how about if we take a look at what.

36:42

We're going to be getting in the South Region on

36:44

Friday, and this is going to lead off with NC

36:46

State versus Marquette. This is six forty

36:48

three, six forty four on the card, the alone

36:51

seed north of a six that is remaining

36:53

in the NCAA tournament. NC State is

36:55

a six a half point underdog in Tonan's

36:58

game is one fifty one. And I

37:00

do take a look at the spot and I think that this

37:02

is the end of the road for NC State. That

37:04

I will say, if you want to do a revisionist

37:07

history, man, the NC State

37:09

run that they had in the AECC tournament looking

37:11

more and more and more impressive by

37:13

the day. I mean, talk about a

37:16

conference ase went way stock up

37:18

and all the schools that are getting the units

37:20

from all these acc tournament

37:22

wins, they should be feeling very very good.

37:24

So hooray for the ACC.

37:26

But that said, I do think that this is just

37:28

a little bit too much for NC State to handle,

37:30

and it's just the age old question. Do you take

37:32

a look at the recent form or do you take a look

37:34

at the overall season form, because if

37:37

this were a line that were made two and

37:39

a half three weeks ago, something in

37:41

that neighborhood with markind I having Tyler

37:43

Collock out there on the floor, I do have to reiterate

37:45

that because there was a point where Marquette

37:48

they were dealing with Colik being off the floor,

37:50

and if you were off the floor, certainly that would

37:52

be adjusting the handicap on this game a little

37:54

bit. But if Tyler Klik

37:56

was fully healthy and you made this line three weeks ago,

37:59

I think that Mark would probably be closer to about

38:01

a nine or zero point favorite.

38:02

In I do think that they are going to overwhelm.

38:05

An NCC team has at a relatively tough

38:07

time guarding the ark all season long. They do allow

38:09

opponents when their away from home to shoot north of thirty

38:11

four percent from three part enge and it is

38:13

an NCC team that They've got sort

38:15

of the shall we say, backbone

38:17

of a team that can be able to make this sort

38:19

of a run. They do have a guy in DJ Burns

38:21

that has nice low post moves. They have

38:24

a team that doesn't turn the ball a lot,

38:26

but they're not going to be able to take advantage of Marquette's

38:28

main weakness, and Marquette's main weakness is

38:31

on the glass. Marqutte is outside the top

38:33

two fifty in terms of their overall rebound

38:35

rate. Other than OsO Ogadero, you don't

38:37

have anyone else that really gives you North a five rebounds

38:39

per game, But frenzis state. Other than

38:41

Mohammadiara, you don't have anyone else

38:43

for this team that gives you North a five rebounds Greame,

38:46

we love looking at DJ Burns, We love

38:48

giving them ice cream at the end of the game and everything

38:50

like that. He's only been given the team about four

38:53

rebounds per game. He's very much an offense first

38:55

sort of guy. He's not been someone that has really

38:57

been in the glass, given the seam a whole lot

38:59

a second and third chances, and it's an NCC

39:01

team that has been hit or missing terms of a three

39:03

point shooting as well. DJ turned it up horn.

39:06

He shoots over forty percent from three point

39:08

range. He's able to give you about fifteen or so points per

39:10

contest, saying got some nice an SLI reguards.

39:12

Michael O'Connell is not too much of a shooter, but

39:14

someone that's able to all at the ball. He's able to keep

39:16

things clean. It's a big reason why nccate

39:19

has been so good in terms of it not during the ball

39:21

over, but for nd C State. They

39:23

allow a lot of wide open lanes in general,

39:25

and they're just not a team that's gonna put the pressure

39:28

on you much in the way that Marquette does.

39:30

Now.

39:30

For this NCCA team as well, they

39:32

have not faced off against a lot of teams that generate

39:35

a whole bunch of turnovers. I think that that's a little

39:37

bit of a byproduct of why they've been such

39:39

a good team and not during it over.

39:41

This year.

39:41

Meanwhile, you now have to go up against the Marquette team

39:43

that is eight top twenty five team turns the turnovers

39:46

force on a per possession basis, And what

39:48

I really love for this Marquette team is the way

39:50

that Cam Jones has come into his own as well,

39:52

because Tyler Kullich is massive right now, leads

39:54

all of college basketball in terms of assists per

39:56

game. But he saw Jones

39:58

really be able to lack of better term,

40:01

find his bearings when Tyler Kollik

40:03

was out of the fold. He's really been able to reach a

40:05

just different level of production if you want

40:07

to take a look. Ever since February third,

40:10

so this is the last fifteen games

40:12

overall, So since the beginning of the month of February,

40:14

he's putting up twenty one a half points per contest

40:16

on forty nine and a half percent

40:19

three point shooting. In This isn't

40:21

like some sort of a cheapy number where it's like, oh,

40:23

he's taking like one three per

40:25

game, he went like seven

40:27

to fifteen from three or anything like that. No,

40:30

he's jacking up seven threes per game and shooting

40:32

forty nine and a half percent from three points

40:34

against an NCCA team that's having a tough time

40:36

being able to guard the three point arc. So I

40:38

do think that that's going to be massive in this spot. And

40:40

I do take a look at this total, and it's one of the more

40:42

intriguing ones to be able to take a look at

40:45

I did sell my total more around one fifty. Now

40:47

that we're out of one to fifty one, I'm going to be willing

40:49

to go under just because it is a market team

40:51

that while they've been very efficient on the

40:53

offensive side things, it's not as if this

40:56

team is quite as up tempo as they were

40:58

a season go. Like for Mark Under

41:00

the first few years

41:03

Undershotka Smart, this was the team that was

41:05

very much looking to get up and down the court.

41:07

They were looking to get a bunch of possessions everything

41:10

like that. This is a Marquette team that has

41:12

really been able to bog it down a little bit more.

41:14

They're more around one hundred and fiftieth in all

41:16

of college basketball terms of total possessions

41:18

Braham and for NC State, this team is about on armed

41:20

fifty second. Both of these teams relatively

41:23

average in terms of the college basketball landscape

41:25

terms of their total possessions per game. Both

41:27

of these teams pretty good at being able to execute

41:29

on offense. But I do think that Marquette going to be able

41:31

to force NC State into a few more turnovers that's

41:34

going to allow them to be able to get the job done. So did

41:36

Sep my line at a eight, I'm going to be

41:38

willing to lay the six half with Marquette. And

41:40

here at a one to fifty one, I do like this total

41:42

under as well, right here on the great Pierson experience of Vista

41:45

the Sports Bank Network.

41:46

And then do you want to give you guys this one as well.

41:47

I'll go through my DK network right ups, because

41:50

I've got one for baseball, I've got one

41:52

for college basketball. We'll lose both of those

41:54

in our number two. But I said, how about if we

41:56

had Creighton versus tennes Seed. This is six forty

41:59

one six on the cart, and with

42:01

Tennessee they are a favorite of three points.

42:03

At a lot of spots you're able to find one or two

42:05

straight two and a half. So out there total skame

42:08

between one four and four and a half. I

42:10

was alluding to this when I was talking about the

42:12

Alabama versus North Carolining game, a

42:14

game where perhaps you want to take a little bit

42:16

more of a look at the alternate spread things

42:19

like this. And while it might appear

42:21

on the surface that you want to do that with Creighton,

42:23

I wouldn't be so willing to do it in this sort

42:25

of spot because for Tennessee and Crayton.

42:28

I think that there is a case to be.

42:30

Made that both of these teams can just go into

42:32

inferno mode and both of these teams can go

42:34

as cold as an igloo. You've got a Creighton team

42:36

that if they're in their shots, it's

42:38

doomsay for you. If don't connect

42:40

to sitting his shots, for Tennessee, it's doomsay

42:43

for you. And if both of these teams are

42:45

missing, it could turn into a big, giant

42:47

rock fight and a slog. So

42:49

I do think that there's going to be a lot of variants there,

42:52

but you could see variants on both sides. That

42:54

still leads you to getting to this number that

42:56

we're seeing right now of a three. Now, I personally

42:58

set my line to where I'm want to lay it with Tennessee.

43:01

I made them before and a half point favorite just because I

43:03

think that they've got a few more pass victory

43:05

than Creighton. And the reason why I do think that

43:07

is because does he just flat out as more depth

43:09

For Creighton, They've got a really good starting

43:12

five and outside that they've got absolutely jactadly

43:14

squat. You've got three guys are able to give

43:16

you north of sixteen points per contest with I'll

43:19

giving you north of five boards per contest for Creighton

43:21

when not Ryan Kochbrenner has been able to give you

43:23

two and a half to three blocks per contest, Trey

43:25

Alexander Baylor, Shyerman. These guys have been

43:27

tremendous and while don't connect, is that headline's

43:30

court for Tennessee, you saw someone like jonas

43:32

A to who does a nice job on the glass. Tobya

43:34

Walka is able to give you some good rebounds, and

43:36

someone that always gets so forgotten about

43:38

it. He's pretty much a Van Wilder of the

43:40

SEC. Josiah Jordan James, someone who's

43:43

just able to stuff the Satgy gives you nine

43:45

points, six boards, he'll throw in there, a

43:47

block, he'll throw in their steal. He just

43:49

does all the little things well for Tennessee.

43:51

And you just really don't have that guy for

43:54

Creighton. And I do think that that's a big X factor. Tennessee

43:56

is able to throw at you bunch of different looks.

43:58

Creighton is a team that is not going to push you

44:01

out of your sort of just offense.

44:03

In general, they're one of the worst teams at generating

44:05

turnovers in all of college basketball. And I think

44:07

that that is going to be very much to the advantage

44:09

of Tennessee. That is going to allow them to be able to get

44:11

into their sets, not be uncomfortable. I

44:13

think that allows them to get the job done. And I do

44:15

think that this is a game that's going to be close enough

44:17

for late game Felloing had a one forty four, wouldn't

44:20

want to take it any further over, but sid

44:22

I do a one forty four and a half, So I do like the over,

44:24

and I do like Tennessee. And coming next with

44:26
