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.

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

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
