1:09

on peace and primetime. Welcome

1:16

back in everybody. Our number two of VSiN

1:19

Primetime presented by Bet MGM.

1:21

Exciting hour coming up on the show. Kenny

1:23

White from CBS VSiN. has some

1:25

college basketball player. Yeah. He works out here. He

1:27

comes right up. We just got the text we're

1:29

like Right. Strolling. Strolling?

1:31

So Kenny will join us in a half hour. He does have one

1:34

play tonight and then a bunch on the Saturday

1:36

college basketball league for tomorrow. Bunch

1:38

of games about 2 tip off here in this seven

1:40

PM eastern window, both tipping off, as well

1:42

as on the ice, Sean King has got a whole

1:44

lot of action with the with Puxford domes. So

1:46

you you have three of the four. Early

1:49

puck games covered here. Right. Let's get her done.

1:51

Let's get her done. It'll be done. As

1:54

far as the couch basketball, Xavier Seaton Hall

1:56

is the one game in the power five level that is

1:58

about slip off. I hear, again, that we've

2:00

not talked about yet, but Xavier closes

2:02

in a point five or two point road favorite.

2:04

That's a pretty tasty match up. All things considered,

2:07

Sean, the in the big east when when

2:09

you consider how good both programs

2:11

have been. So on a night, with not a ton of good college

2:13

basketball, that's our marquee game

2:15

there. Xavier Seaton Hall. 2, they're so evenly

2:17

matched. There's no way I wanted to really take

2:19

a take a stab at either side here. I just wanna

2:21

watch how this game plays out early because

2:24

When t when when Xavier is on, they're

2:26

the top twelve offensive team. When they're on they're

2:28

shooting the ball, ninth best effective

2:30

field goal percentage team, fourth best three point shooting

2:32

team. It can be a long day, but

2:34

they're coming off an upset home loss to Villanova where

2:36

they only scored sixty three points, and the

2:38

offense has been really inconsistent now over

2:41

the last four games. So I didn't wanna jump ahead of this

2:43

pre

2:43

game. Yeah. IIII look

2:45

at the big east conferences, one of the

2:47

the deeper conferences this year in college basketball.

2:49

So I'm really, really good teams.

2:52

You know, you mentioned Xavier, Yukon's

2:54

really good. Providence and

2:57

mister Cooley, you know, they they always pull some

2:59

upsets. Marketa thinks top ten.

3:01

If I'm not mistaken, soccer's doing a great

3:03

job there. So I'm in great conference from

3:05

a quality of team

3:07

standpoint. But, man, it's terrible basketball

3:09

to watch. They play some

3:11

ugly games

3:12

in the big east. Oh, the Big Ten is saying hold

3:14

my beer. Oh, I don't look at the Big

3:16

Ten is like a basketball conference.

3:18

Like, to me, that's football league that can

3:20

play good basketball

3:22

Primetime, but the big eagles form

3:24

shit. Complete. To be a basketball

3:26

conference. They're saying big ten basketball. Watch

3:29

big ten basketball. They're like, okay, Sean.

3:32

Watch yours for two

3:33

hours. Ohio State might be the

3:34

worst offensive basketball team. Trying to just

3:36

yeah. Trying to bleed out of your eyes. Look,

3:38

seat seat in the hall, elite

3:40

defensive team under Shahid Holloway, former Saint

3:43

Peter's head coach now in his first year leading the Pirates.

3:45

Elite defensive team, which is why I I don't have much

3:47

confidence in Xavier just walting into

3:49

the Prudential Center and getting any sort of

3:51

shots that they want. But the issue for Seaton Hall

3:53

is they can't score. Yeah. I mean, they're

3:56

they're not as not as bad as Ohio State from a cat

3:58

score

3:58

perspective, but seat hauls outside the top one fifty

4:00

in offense. We gotta find can you

4:02

find and see or look and see? Is there a somewhere

4:06

where you can bet

4:08

the conference that the national champion

4:10

is gonna come out of.

4:11

That'd be pretty interesting. Could be something

4:13

that's available. I take the big twelve.

4:17

I mean, that is going to eventually

4:19

be posted. I don't see it right now.

4:22

That's why I had

4:22

screen. That's without without It's

4:24

not even close. That's the best conference this

4:26

year. My question is, is that the best regular

4:28

season college basketball conference ever?

4:31

With how good they are from top to bottom. Where,

4:33

at one point, you had one in ten Texas Tech.

4:35

I know I remember watching your

4:37

shows, and that Tim was all over it. He couldn't he

4:39

he had to have an

4:39

intervention with

4:40

him on Tech. So let's check one of That's legitimately

4:42

good team. Alright. they were one in ten conference

4:44

play. Yeah. Well, you get Kansas.

4:46

You get Baylor. You get Texas. You get case

4:49

state. You get TCU. You

4:51

get some good basketball teams. I

4:53

think that's probably the best conference

4:56

I mean, but you if you gave me the big east as a constellation

4:59

prize, I still it's a longer shot,

5:01

but I'm still getting sixteen that I know

5:03

can get to the round of

5:04

sixteen.

5:05

Now, six of them won't. But I know

5:07

they're all capable of getting there. If you get 2 around

5:09

the sixteen, I mean, hey,

5:11

anything can happen. If

5:12

if you were doing if you were doing the

5:15

putting those odds out? Or where would you put

5:17

the

5:18

Oh, the ACC and the ACC folks think.

5:21

Have you combined those two

5:22

lids? don't want them.

5:24

Which is just pretty crazy state. If

5:26

you combine the ACC and the SEC,

5:29

I don't want them. And we're talking about if

5:31

you could pick one conference in college

5:33

basketball, to wage war on as

5:35

a future for -- Right. -- the national

5:37

the ultimately the NCAA champion.

5:39

I was saying I think the big twelve's a runaway

5:41

winner probably have to be minus

5:43

money. And you probably have 2 latest

5:45

on June. What's the date of April? Yeah. Oh, I

5:47

would I would think so. I mean, if you go by the

5:49

overall efficiency numbers from the from the Ken

5:51

Palm rate

5:52

ratings, The ACC is below

5:54

the mountain west. ACC stinks. That's

5:57

It's it's VSiN I'm a Duke fan and 2

5:59

ACC stinks. Not going well. Yeah. And

6:01

and we're just not

6:02

What's your grade on on John Shire, you're one,

6:04

VSiN all given all part of a job that was coming

6:06

into a place coach game? Here's the thing.

6:09

It's not a coaching problem with Duke. It's a

6:11

recruiting problem. Like, we're recruiting kids.

6:13

It should not be on scholarship with Duke.

6:15

Like, I'm not going bears kids as, you know, they're

6:17

a student athlete, but In private,

6:21

there are four kids that are actually on

6:23

scholarship on this Duke men's basketball team.

6:25

I have no idea how we got to these four guys.

6:28

I mean, that brand is as strong as any

6:30

brand in the country. Why

6:32

are these kids own scholarship? It's

6:35

not their fault? It

6:37

is our fault. We gotta recruit

6:39

better. Yeah. I'm just telling you, we're not recruiting

6:41

at the same level with the same

6:42

efficiency. Like like, when

6:44

we don't have a one and done, we'd generally

6:47

miss.

6:49

Once coach k sold out for one and dunns, that's

6:51

when it's sold out. But even

6:52

though one and dunns, like,

6:54

I mean, we

6:55

This is Gary Lee.

6:56

Number. Let's play in the country. You know,

6:58

you play.

6:59

Yeah. And so when he plays, you understand why

7:01

he doesn't play. And you're like, Jeez.

7:05

It's really frustrating. Because in a year

7:07

we should be like the beacon, like the

7:09

shining star, you know, all this parody

7:11

then there's the big dogs sitting up there, you

7:13

know, just waiting to devour. You know,

7:15

anyway, these little puppies trying to run up

7:17

the hill. Man, I'd

7:20

be shocked if we make it

7:22

out around thirty

7:22

two. I'd be shocked if we win two games in

7:25

the tournament.

7:25

Duke is a Primetime

7:27

upset.

7:28

Oh, it's especially 2 on how how

7:30

we get seeded and who we have What reminds

7:32

me of that of the, like, two thousand

7:34

six, two thousand seven Duke team that was six

7:37

seed loss to

7:37

VCU. Is it VSiN in round when it reminds

7:39

me So market. We can't beat FAU.

7:42

We can't beat UAB. I can go down

7:44

the list of teams that could beat us.

7:47

I mean, that that that year,

7:49

Duke was very, you know, very similar in

7:51

the met like, the metrics

7:53

as a team, they were really good defensively, but they

7:55

couldn't couldn't really score a coach case. They won't

7:57

have anyone that can create a shot. We

7:59

don't have anyone could knock down our outside

8:01

shot. We basically got a Phillip

8:03

Foot. We got Filipowsky and white

8:05

haired when he's healthy, and then just a bunch

8:07

of guys.

8:08

John Shire was freshman on that dude team at 2,

8:10

you and two

8:11

thousand seventeen. Where are the J. J. Reddyks and

8:13

the J. Wills and J.

8:14

Reddyks busy doing the pipes

8:16

and stuff like that. That's the kind of guys

8:18

we sold them, you're croton. Oh, who do

8:20

these guys are, man? That that new

8:22

episode is out, by the way, because we in collaboration

8:24

with DraftKings. J. J. And Josh Applebaum. They're

8:26

doing a show

8:26

together. Really? Yeah. Pretty pretty

8:29

great great work by VSiN.

8:32

JJ does no. Yes.

8:33

They they

8:33

acted no. Josh, Josh, just drop Josh

8:36

is working with big names now. Yeah.

8:37

I'm happy for him. Did they not know that the big Duke

8:39

fan on the network is me? We

8:41

didn't get that job at the top. We didn't

8:43

get that through. No. I'm just gonna go weekly.

8:45

Yeah. It's a great new

8:46

podcast, but they're doing

8:47

closing line value for a CLV

8:49

baby. That's alright. New prop VSiN.

8:52

And there is a name on here that it just

8:54

it's kind of hilarious. But

8:56

the odds are really interesting on the San Francisco forty

8:58

niners first for I believe the

9:01

way this this is phrased is starting quarterback

9:03

week one. So these are always

9:05

sort of nuanced because some of some of the time it will take

9:07

the first snap. Who is a starting quarterback.

9:09

However, you know, you have to make sure you're reading the

9:11

the fine print there. You surprised at all that

9:13

Trey Lance, the one looked through this up

9:15

points, but Trey Lance is minus be hundred. No,

9:17

because they just announced that Blackbird surgery

9:20

was getting moved VSiN. And it's already supposed to be

9:22

a six month rehab, so he's

9:24

not even gonna be healthy. Week one.

9:27

So, I mean, that's the only other salary

9:31

quarterback they have. Sure. Josh

9:33

Johnson has been asked to remove the

9:35

stuff from his

9:36

locker. Right?

9:37

How big did you say that? I mean, come on, man.

9:39

I mean, we brought you here if we 2 you we

9:41

needed you man, look, we might as well

9:43

went to McAfee. I mean

9:46

What

9:46

about it? And then Brady -- Right. --

9:48

for

9:48

some VSiN, Tom Brady is on the switch to sixty to one.

9:50

We don't need to waste I'll save it. Waste our energy.

9:53

He retired last year, got bored, came

9:55

back. So I I get why he's on the list.

9:57

Because I retired this year. He hadn't gotten bored

9:59

yet, but he could potentially get bored. And

10:02

come back. If in sixty one's

10:04

worth if you want to take a fire cool. Because

10:06

he never really retired this time, like, 2

10:08

kinda send a tweet out, low key,

10:10

like, low 2 Talk almost, like,

10:12

one of those shorts. Yeah.

10:14

So it's not like he had, like, this big elaborate

10:16

ceremony or

10:17

anything. So

10:18

Okay. Yeah. If it was ten thousand to one,

10:20

I would I would just do the standard Kevin Malone

10:22

from the office reply. If it's if any of the anything

10:25

that's ten thousand to one, I wanna controls

10:27

for, like, follow them money. If you ever

10:29

get ten thousand to one vetted automatically. Bet

10:31

it. Yeah. You have to bet it. Yeah. I get it. I

10:33

get it. Yeah. Like,

10:34

Patrick, Harrington at the Masters. Sure. You

10:36

just have to bet. That's probably what I wonder what Tiger's

10:39

gonna be at the masters.

10:42

Tiger is down to he's forty to one

10:45

now, with how good he looked at the genesis.

10:47

That's a little He's going low.

10:49

I'm telling you, he's going low.

10:51

Yeah.

10:52

By the way, the 2 VSiN Hess reminds me

10:54

that the payoff from that that office

10:56

episode was if John Mellonkamp ever wins in

10:58

Oscar, I'm gonna make it big. Okay. Great.

11:02

Absolutely great.

11:03

So I've never watched the Oscars. I

11:05

thought you heard about say you've never watched the office, but

11:08

I

11:08

think might have, like, had on mute one day,

11:10

but I don't think I've ever watched it with the volume one. I'm

11:12

not saying it's a

11:13

bad show. Just yeah. I'm glad

11:15

you're at least You're VSiN your culture. And so

11:17

my house is different. understand.

11:19

Yeah. A whole lot of, you know, things. YouTube

11:21

television, blasting everywhere, that kind

11:23

of stuff. 2 kids. I mean,

11:25

YouTube I didn't know there was no 2 YouTube

11:28

kids. That's a sounds like a whole thing. I'm glad I

11:29

So it's a huge I don't have to deal with that. Yet,

11:32

at least. Thanks. Thankfully. So

11:34

Lance minus three hundred foot Alright. So you're of

11:36

the belief that even with all the, you know, the injury

11:38

issues with Lance they've they've said

11:40

publicly he'll be ready to 2. Start

11:42

up start up training camp

11:43

here, that they're they're still

11:46

they're still head over heels into this investment with

11:48

Lance VSiN though how

11:49

can they not be? I mean, when

11:51

they don't get on what you want. Well, I get that. I

11:53

think they gotta got my You could what can you make

11:55

the case? Like, his stock is still high enough in

11:57

a lot of circles around the

11:58

league,

11:59

but I think he

11:59

has no trade value. Right

12:01

now he has zero trade value.

12:03

I

12:04

know you there's like a tiny bit that could

12:06

easily be might

12:06

I give you a six rounder?

12:09

Yeah.

12:11

I mean -- I'm excited. --

12:12

nothing.

12:13

Yeah. Because the problem with him is

12:15

his biggest deficiency coming into

12:17

the league is still a

12:18

deficiency. That's lack of reps because

12:20

he's been injured for so much of his first two years. I was

12:22

looking at the the comeback player of the year odds of the

12:24

day. Freelance is second. That

12:26

makes

12:26

sense. Because he's gonna be the star quarterback on

12:28

a really good team. But the issue is he's gotta

12:31

be good to do it. So healthy.

12:33

Healthy. Healthy. And and health which I you could

12:35

probably make the case. That's a bigger issue

12:37

there. So anyway, the fact bridge

12:39

is even on the list. Get it

12:41

off this grade. Get off. They get the graphic

12:43

gathering. Anyway, those are out for San Francisco

12:45

first. Corelight picked the first snap

12:47

and be the starter this year. When

12:49

we come back here on VSiN Primetime, trying to

12:52

reset things as we get more games underway

12:54

at central coaching change in Atlanta.

15:10

you if you guys have a fun segment, make sure to

15:13

let me know because then I'll I'll make fun of you

15:15

the next day at least. That's that's only we're taking

15:17

some of the best up clips from our best shows. Oh,

15:19

because then I get react to him. Yeah. So when

15:21

Sean

15:21

said, you know, when you say something crazy, like, if

15:23

you make sure you let me know or let Britain know

15:25

our producer. Look

15:26

at his foolishness in the Panthers game. I

15:28

just saw a a No. I saw a goless

15:31

a goless crease and then -- No. But I hope it's

15:33

like escape, so I don't

15:34

know. --

15:35

it's not gonna be one of these knights.

15:37

You said earlier he's built differently. Oh,

15:39

yeah. Ghana Santa De Coupa. Someone who

15:41

grew up in the state of Wisconsin, city of Milwaukee,

15:43

I would've echoed the same sentiments. Even me, the

15:45

most gung ho Radical

15:48

buck supporter, pro Johannes guy, since

15:50

day VSiN, thought there was no way he was

15:52

playing tonight. Johannes Hunter and Coupa is in

15:54

the starting lineup. He's back. He

15:56

doesn't even miss any games. I just

15:59

assumed they'd shut him down for, like, two weeks minimum,

16:01

Sean. Yeah. Honest is playing in

16:03

the fuck. He's real dude. Are now as

16:05

high as seven point

16:06

favorites.

16:07

They were

16:07

one and a half point favorites about four

16:10

hours ago. Well,

16:11

somebody's got great close-up. Some

16:14

of them, you got the one. Yeah. I mean,

16:16

would you be VSiN Erika? And Tyson, if you had

16:18

the bucks at one and a half, what

16:20

number would it have to get to for you to take

16:22

the other side and try to middle this game.

16:26

I mean, if you bought that and that VSiN

16:29

was quickly gobbled up. It's back down six and a half

16:31

much market wide. The low watermark is

16:33

behind us here at circa five and a half. I

16:36

would say it's It's honestly,

16:38

it's seven and a half would be where I'd I mean,

16:40

that's it. The NBA's six point

16:42

middle. Six point middle? Because here's

16:45

as much as like, it's great. He's playing.

16:47

He's VSiN, he has the right wrist sprain. Historically,

16:50

Miami has always played Milwaukee

16:52

really, really tough. That's been a difficult matchup

16:54

for them. There that was couple of playoffs That

16:56

was the most popular first round upset. That was Miami

16:58

over Milwaukee. And that was like

17:01

the fun, you know, the and I get the monkey

17:03

off their back, Exorcism of Miami where

17:05

the Bucks won a really tight game on then just

17:07

destroyed the heat for three straight games. But historically,

17:10

Those two teams always play really really tight

17:12

match ups. So wouldn't surprise me if this

17:14

is if this is close I get why the betting market

17:16

reacts because Janus is worth about six

17:18

points to a

17:18

line. Janus is a dude. But

17:21

if I had an early Milwaukee Bucks ticket,

17:23

I'd probably be looking for If you would listen

17:26

to me, you'd have the Bucks because I told the Honest's

17:28

player. Yeah. You did. I didn't have any scientific

17:31

reading or any actual, like, data

17:33

that I could rely upon, but just he's

17:36

he's built different a league reguise, look

17:38

for reasons not to play. He's a guy that tries

17:42

to grind his way through almost every game

17:44

if

17:44

possible. I respect him for that. Mean,

17:47

it came to a point too where the the Bucks

17:49

basically had to force coach my boohoozer

17:51

in order for him to keep his job to

17:54

to be the bad guy and say, yes.

17:57

Love you. We love that you wanna play forty eight minutes

17:59

every night, but you can't. We have we have

18:01

to do the right thing long term. And that was

18:03

the thing that was their shortfall. They were they refused

18:05

to take him out of the game because he was a train transcended

18:08

player. 2 did not wanna come out,

18:10

and it hurt the bucks in some of those early playoff

18:12

runs. Finally, coach bud makes

18:14

the change. Bucks win a

18:17

coin flip game seven in Brooklyn. Bud keeps his

18:19

job. Bucks win a title, and here we are. So

18:21

that's where that's where the margins are at. And

18:23

yet, clearly, if he

18:25

look, if he's as much as it sees a guy who's

18:27

built different, he still had to has

18:29

a lot of sort of protocols and tests for the team

18:31

to be My godfather throwing it out. My godfather

18:34

Perkins backed me up. He went on a little salil

18:36

liquidity day about you know, guys

18:38

not playing, not being available. I'm with

18:40

2, Kendrick, when you're right. By the way, when you're

18:42

our guy, I'm 24 four on

18:44

Twitter, just tweeted at me the actual

18:47

recruiting rankings. I

18:50

know where we finish in the rankings in.

18:52

What I'm saying is they their

18:54

talent and skill doesn't match where they're

18:56

ranked. That's an evaluation problem.

18:58

That's my whole point for bringing it up. And

19:00

I'm referring to dope men's basketball We've

19:03

got a bunch of kids on that team that have high

19:05

rankings that don't look like those

19:07

are deserved rankings. Stop just recruiting rankings,

19:10

and let's start recruiting what we see because

19:13

obviously, I don't feel like they're maybe they're

19:15

giving bad film. Maybe they're getting catfish.

19:17

That's what I feel like. If you watch

19:19

Duke played, there's no way you can tell me that that's the

19:21

number one group class in the

19:23

country. You

19:24

think you think coach k the last few years

19:26

was actually going to the sunshine.

19:27

Oh, yeah. I still think he was around. No. I

19:29

think he likes being coach k.

19:32

He said he wasn't going to interfere this year and go

19:34

to any games and then Well, he's he's in the

19:36

build he's in the affair. But, I mean, what

19:38

are you gonna make him leave? No.

19:40

It's it's just that's why they hired Shire.

19:43

They hired one of the reasons they hired Shire because

19:45

he was a guy that just was gonna be like, okay.

19:47

Cool. You couldn't get, like, a big

19:49

personality 2 come in there. You

19:52

know, but but North Carolina did the same thing.

19:54

Remember when Dean Smith first retired, didn't they

19:56

hire Brad Matt Daugherty, I

19:58

need the initial guy to replace Dean VSiN.

20:01

And then ultimately, they're figuring out, okay, we gotta go

20:03

get us real

20:03

coach. They brought VSiN Roy Williams, and they won

20:05

some championships. I figured, dude, probably, they'll go down

20:07

the same path. 2 actually,

20:10

it was Bill Guthridge. Bill Guthridge. Then

20:12

then Matt Matt Guthridge. Two thousand

20:15

and two North Carolina was eight and twenty one

20:17

thirty VSiN in overall

20:19

efficiency. Right.

20:20

Wow. So we're not terrible. Like, we're

20:22

average. Yeah. And they do average is terrible.

20:24

And they kept daugherty around another. You're by

20:26

the way, into into o three, into Roy

20:28

Williams was I was eventually higher. So

20:30

that's the big news at least in the NBA. Bucks

20:32

get Janice 2 the Coupa back tonight. Line

20:35

has gone from one and half now to really settling

20:37

in at six and a half market wide low auto

20:39

market. If you still like the bucks, you can get them at five and a half

20:41

behind us. At circa if you happen to be

20:43

in Las Vegas. The cavaliers talk. That's

20:45

a good game VSiN though the caps are on the second night

20:47

of a back to back. Caves right now

20:49

catching one or one and half in Atlanta

20:51

tonight. Trey Young probable. The bigger

20:53

story is around the Hawks Show, Sean. It's -- Yeah. --

20:55

it's the potential and the -- You're very

20:57

helpful. -- VSiN sneider.

21:00

Right. They just

21:01

Friday, like, eighty million. What?

21:03

What's the day? Friday? They they fired them Wednesday? What

21:05

was it yesterday? Two

21:06

day ago. Yeah. And then they they've already zeros

21:09

That's what happens when a twenty seven year old son

21:11

of the owner starts to take

21:12

over. Like, how can you go

21:15

through a actual process in the middle of a

21:17

season 2 days later?

21:19

They have their guy apparently. Oh, okay.

21:21

I don't know. I mean

21:22

Oh, I'm with you. No. I'm not disagreeing with what

21:24

you're saying. I'm saying it is Well, who

21:27

the the other question is who else in the current

21:29

NBA? Yeah. Absentee

21:31

coaching market would is would

21:33

you want after a guy, Quinn

21:35

Snyder, who had a very good eight year run-in Utah?

21:37

I mean, there's not many other qualified eyes,

21:39

you would wanna come in right away. And think about

21:41

Nate MacMillan. He was pretty much in a he

21:43

was almost in the same circumstance when

21:46

he came into Atlanta mid VSiN. There

21:48

was a lot of dysfunction that locker, but but

21:50

they knew in the front office Atlanta had the talent.

21:52

They just needed a guy to kinda calm everybody down,

21:54

get them all on the same page. Millan came

21:56

in and it was a brilliant move. Unfortunately

21:59

for him, starting from, you know,

22:01

from square one and game one did not

22:03

did not result in the same you know,

22:05

in in the same

22:06

efficiencies. But Yeah. It's interesting

22:08

because I didn't think the Hawks had a a coach

22:10

problem. I think they had a player problem.

22:13

So unless the players are gonna take some

22:15

serious looks in mirror about

22:17

their accountability VSiN, you know, the level

22:19

of disc the discipline they play with. I

22:21

mean, nothing's gonna change a plain snider?

22:24

I

22:24

don't think you're wrong. Uh-huh. But it's

22:26

it's just an interesting comparison to,

22:28

you know, the last time Macmillan came in had

22:30

been and they went twenty seven eleven after

22:33

after Lloyd Pierce was fired.

22:36

And all and it's almost like if

22:38

that happens once you kinda you get a sense if you're

22:40

in front office, okay, maybe maybe let me construct

22:42

twice. Maybe we can figure this out because their reality

22:44

is. Right. Atlanta's in their five hundred

22:46

team. They've underachieved probably

22:49

more than anybody this year. I would even say

22:51

more than the Lakers because the Lakers roster

22:53

just isn't good after LeBron James and Anthony

22:55

Davis. You know? Lot of people

22:57

were saying it's better now. We'll see. Wow. They're

22:59

feeling good about themselves. It just smoked the warriors

23:02

last night. Wow. Warriors.

23:04

How many how many players that they have? When

23:05

you're looking for when you're looking for for positives,

23:08

they're easy to find. That no. That's fair.

23:11

So Cavs Hawks about to tip off.

23:13

This is again, these are the seven thirty

23:15

eastern games. I was just looking at the the opening

23:17

line in Cavs Hawks. It was Hawks minus 2. So

23:19

some money coming in But to to

23:22

Cleveland's here, even though it is second night of

23:24

a back to back after really physical game.

23:26

I the in game play, cavs plus

23:28

three and a half. I mean, it 2 by five, but

23:30

So one is a coin flip. I mean,

23:33

you had the I know you had the calves last night. I know

23:35

John Collins tonight. He remains out

23:37

in concussion protocol. For the

23:39

Atlanta

23:39

Hawks. So those are the how much

23:41

do you think Russell Westbrook plays tonight?

23:45

VSiN if so, do you think he tries to make a big

23:47

first impression as I interest you on any Russell

23:49

Westbrook props. We're

23:50

gonna talk about that later in the show. Oh, go ahead. Alright.

23:53

Well, wait. Well, I

23:54

That's a later starting game. Yes. That is a night

23:56

game. That's the that is the late game. Ten forty on

23:58

the East Coast tonight. Let's say the answer to question

24:00

number two is yes. I mean, you okay. Come

24:02

on. You know he's coming VSiN. wants

24:04

to make a great first impression. How many minutes?

24:07

I don't know. If I set if I set the number

24:09

at twenty one and

24:11

a

24:12

half, where where would you go?

24:14

Under? Yeah.

24:16

Yeah. Can it feels fair? Can

24:18

it feels fair? Alright. That'll be the Nike and we will

24:20

talk about that still 2 come We have

24:22

Kenny White from CBS Sports line joining us

24:24

next, was just pulling up some of the early

24:26

early results going on around the country.

24:28

Xavier early fourteen eight lead on Seaton call

24:31

they're about halfway through the first half. In the

24:33

Marquee Power five game to start the college basketball

24:35

slate Xavier went off as a point and a half

24:37

or two point favorites. That

24:39

that Nick's wizard's game is also underway. And I was

24:41

hoping for maybe little better number on the Knicks,

24:43

not get it so far. Knicks twenty VSiN, Wizards

24:45

eight at the five minute mark of the first quarter. And

24:48

then looking at the pucks,

24:51

the Hurricanes are Yeah. It's

24:53

not it's not starting good, but a small setback

24:55

for a major comeback. Okay.

24:57

2 asleep

24:58

walking.

24:59

Well, I did I I told you last night, and it didn't

25:01

get hockey play. That's

25:02

right.

25:04

could get the sentence. not saying, oh, no. No.

25:06

No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm misinterpreted that one.

25:09

I had to ask the question. Do you help me out

25:11

last day? I'm staying off.

26:14

on through. About to get underway the two NBA

26:16

games, you were talking about cavaliers and hawks,

26:19

heat at bucks, Johannes, on to the Coupa, back in the

26:21

lineup tonight. If you missed that, the big marquee game

26:23

starting on ESPN in just a few minutes. Right

26:25

now that we transition to the college basketball

26:27

card, some games still to come tonight and then a

26:29

loaded as always, this time you're loading Saturday's

26:31

slated to help us with that. It's Kenny White.

26:33

Great to see great to see Kenny here

26:36

from CBS and in the sports line

26:38

gang. Kenny back on the show and you

26:40

are looking at still for some value tonight. It's one of

26:42

those small conference nights in the

26:43

league, but we go to the Sunbelt. What do you what do

26:46

you like down down southeast? Everybody

26:48

playing in the sunbelt. Thanks for having me on the show 2.

26:50

Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to

26:52

a to a nice march coming up here.

26:54

I'm ready for March. I'm ready for the conference tournaments

26:57

start because This is the dog days of summer

26:59

for basketball, but trying to find some

27:01

underdogs. I I think I found a good one tonight

27:03

in the Sunbelt. South Alabama comes

27:05

in on an eight and one ATS

27:08

run. They're playing their best basketball of the year.

27:10

They do have home revenge. They lost earlier

27:12

this year to to Louisiana Lafayette. In

27:14

a close fought battle. Lafayette

27:16

right now, number three seat in the conference.

27:19

They're locked to double buy.

27:22

I don't see a lot for them to play for tonight

27:24

other than maybe an undefeated conference record.

27:26

I guess that's pretty big 2, but

27:28

South Alabama is the best player in the floor, Isaiah

27:30

Moore. Their point guard. He's the best player.

27:33

And as I mentioned, the eight one

27:35

ATS run where Louisiana Lafayette kinda

27:37

limping home a little bit

27:38

here. 2 and three ATS, their last

27:40

five. So I took four and a half with

27:42

South Alabama

27:43

here. I like it. If that's

27:45

a team that was eight and thirteen, Kenny,

27:47

two and VSiN, the Jaguars. And isn't

27:49

that it sort of feels like this year more than ever

27:51

is these smaller smaller conferences. With

27:53

the exception of a couple leagues, you look at,

27:55

say, like, the CIA with College Charleston who's been,

27:57

you know, top twenty five most of the year.

27:59

But there are a bunch of conferences where you you

28:01

get the sense pretty wide open and

28:03

there's a lot of teams kinda that fit profile of

28:05

the South Alabama that are now right around hundred of

28:07

the overall rankings who either had really bad

28:10

starts to the year and are coming on strong

28:12

or vice

28:12

versa. Is that kind of fair assessment for some of these smaller

28:14

conferences? VSiN no doubt about it.

28:17

You know, this South Alabama team you mentioned the poor

28:19

start they

28:19

had, but They've really turned things around

28:22

here late in the season, and

28:23

I have these two teams rated very VSiN.

28:25

And that home home courts a little

28:28

bit you know, for Louisiana alpia, but that home

28:30

revenge kinda, you know, equals

28:32

that home court advantage. So I thought

28:34

this game was more of a pick them game VSiN just

28:36

thought it may be even bigger game 2 South Alabama

28:39

it gotta love the way they're

28:40

playing. For sure, we'll take that. Like, Jackwares

28:42

plus four and a half against the Regent VSiN

28:44

tonight as we go to tomorrow.

28:47

So it'll be the second game now

28:49

watching Alabama VSiN, and they had

28:51

they've had Brandon Miller, the star freshman in the

28:53

lineup, struggled barely beat

28:55

a bad South Carolina team laying seventeen

28:57

and a half points in such a bizarre

29:00

VSiN type situation in college basketball. How do

29:02

you imagine that that will now impact them in a much

29:04

tougher test where they do host Arkansas

29:06

tomorrow.

29:07

Yeah. That, you know, just a shame. VSiN

29:10

don't wanna hear it VSiN of my teams. Alabama's

29:12

one of my teams. I have met forty to one

29:15

to win the national championship. And

29:17

Brandon Miller's had a tremendous year. We're the

29:19

best freshman in the country. Gonna be a top

29:22

five NBA pick. He's just such a great player.

29:24

You know, hopefully, everything we've read that

29:26

he's, you know, VSiN his end of

29:28

this and Well, hopefully, those

29:31

things, you know, all go away. A

29:33

shame that, you know, this happened on on on

29:35

for Alabama VSiN

29:38

everyone involved. But

29:40

this is a lot on these kids. These are young kids.

29:42

So I'm I'm taking Arkansas plus eight

29:44

and half here. Against Alabama. You mentioned

29:47

the struggles in the last game against a weak

29:49

South Carolina team. This is more talented

29:51

Arkansas team that has played well. Down

29:53

the stretch are seven and three in their last

29:56

ten games ATS. They have home revenge.

29:58

They lost eight by fifteen, eighty four,

30:01

sixty nine. At home to Alabama

30:03

earlier this year. And right now, the Crimson

30:05

tied four and five ATS their last

30:07

nine. Obviously, when you get this higher rating,

30:09

The Points Spreads start to get adjusted. It

30:11

starts to get a little bit more difficult to

30:13

cover these Points

30:14

Spreads. think Alabama wins the

30:16

game, but Arkansas stays within the number.

30:18

In on the surface, that feels like a

30:21

big old number. Right. It's honestly Our

30:23

results got some

30:24

talented youngsters too.

30:25

Yeah.

30:25

So

30:25

I'm gonna get healthy. Start start. Awesome is a

30:27

great coach. Look, that's a lot a

30:29

lot of variance with Arkansas. If they put together some

30:31

performances, get it you leave you scratching your head

30:33

and you're like, what is this team doing? And then they show you

30:35

their potential. You would think that's a type of match of Tuscaloosa

30:38

that that fits the bill. Up so a big SEC

30:41

game from you to handicap there for tomorrow. Also

30:43

the big twelve, another big VSiN, Is

30:45

Baylor taking on Texas bears

30:48

right now in that three point favorite

30:50

range? What are you doing with this one? Yeah.

30:52

You know, Chris Beard

30:55

when he was fired 2 Rodney Terry has taken

30:57

over done a nice job with this team,

30:59

but still little underachieving eight and twenty

31:01

or eight and twelve. Their last twenty games

31:03

ATS. A little bit of underachievement

31:06

on the other side, Baylor. Was on a

31:08

ten one run when they

31:10

ran into Kansas, had Kansas, and then they

31:12

lost the next one to Kansas State. And I just

31:14

don't think they'd match up well against Kansas

31:16

State. So give them little bit of excuse

31:18

there. They have home revenge here. Lost

31:21

to the LongHorns by five at home earlier this

31:23

year. I I think Baylor's the better

31:25

basketball team going in with I

31:28

love that they got back, Jonathan. Butchers

31:31

last name, plea here at UNOV. Come on,

31:33

Chad. You can Yeah. They'll I'll take it.

31:35

So He's he's since he's

31:37

been back in the lineup.

31:39

This is a better defensive basketball team,

31:41

and they have so many sharpshooters from the outside.

31:43

Their guards are such great shooters. I think

31:45

Baylor is another team that's very

31:47

live to win the NC tournament once again.

31:49

They they won it before. They got a coach

31:51

that knows how to do it. They've got the players in

31:53

the system. I think there's a better team

31:55

here. I'm I'm laying three against Texas, in

31:58

Austin. Definitely like the spot when you you come

32:00

limping home, two tough road games at Kansas

32:02

and Kansas state in it. Been a big twelve

32:04

in a

32:04

nutshell.

32:05

I mean,

32:05

it's been so tough conference. Oh, so tough

32:07

from from top down. How many teams can

32:09

you do you have in your portfolio just from from good

32:11

numbers you picked off early on the futures board

32:14

within the big twelve alone.

32:16

Well, that's you know

32:17

what? I wish I had more. Baylor is

32:19

the really only team that I

32:21

have out

32:22

of out of the big twelve to win it all.

32:24

I think the highest odds team I have

32:27

is UAB. I got them at three hundred

32:29

to VSiN. Earlier this year, I

32:31

have I have Memphis at one twenty five

32:33

and one seventy five to one. And those are

32:35

teams that I think have really good point cards.

32:37

That could pan out and play well in

32:39

the NCAA tournament. Kentucky's another

32:42

team. I had rated the number one team in the country to

32:44

begin the year. But obviously, Chamway

32:47

has not played like the player of the year that he was

32:49

last year, but I like how they're playing

32:51

as of late I got him at twelve to

32:53

one early in the year, which definitely not Bargain,

32:55

but I did get him at fifty to one about

32:58

four weeks ago. So Kentucky

33:00

as a team I think could could create some damage.

33:02

You're gonna mention Alabama already and

33:04

Baylor. Alabama and Baylor, I think are the two

33:06

best teams I have right now.

33:08

If I take Houston out of the equation,

33:10

Kenny, who's the best non

33:12

power five team in the country? know you say

33:14

you have a future on UAB. But, you

33:16

know, FAU's there, Marshall, you know,

33:18

the big

33:19

e's, like, who in your opinion, who's the best

33:21

non power five team? That one's easy,

33:23

Sean. Gotta go right to Gonzaga. The

33:25

the zags are really good. You know, they haven't

33:27

played the defense, but they were the one of the top offensive

33:30

teams VSiN entire country. I think they

33:32

kinda know what it takes that, you know what, running

33:34

the table and going thirty two and o is not gonna

33:36

get them an VSiN championship. So I think

33:38

they've been paced themselves think they're gonna

33:40

be very dangerous in in in March

33:42

Madness. They're getting the rematched tomorrow

33:44

night with Saint Mary. So you would you would powerate Kenny,

33:47

Kentucky over the gales right now?

33:49

Yeah. I I have the zags

33:51

three points better than the gales. I

33:53

made the game eight. It's a it's a play for me. I

33:55

did, like, four and a half on the game. think

33:58

there's some fives out there right now. That could come

34:00

down though. There's a lot of love for Saint Mary's

34:02

and there should

34:02

be. Randy Bennett does a great job. It's very good basketball

34:05

team. Again, Kenny White joining us right now. Follow

34:07

at K. Whitey Vegas, if you don't do so already,

34:09

an expert there for CBS HQ VSiN

34:11

a sports line game. So you mentioned UAV, that's

34:13

an unbelievable number three hundred to

34:16

And and what do you like about the match up specifically

34:18

for them at least on the tomorrow Up

34:20

Carter? They are a six point favorite right now.

34:22

Another another home revenge factor for

34:24

me, and it's all motivation at this time of year.

34:27

But I, you know, looked at this team

34:29

VSiN they they had a couple of losses. that's

34:31

what's so interesting about college basketball. Motivation

34:33

is everything. And they lost three straight

34:36

conference games. They were four and five at one point,

34:38

and I thought, wow. This could be a team

34:40

that right now, they know the only way they're getting in

34:42

the NCA tournament is to win the conference tournament.

34:44

I think they can. I think they're better than Northern

34:47

North Texas. But they've played

34:49

wells of late eight and one straight up their

34:51

last nine games. As I said, they

34:53

lost a two point game to Western

34:55

Kentucky earlier this year. Jordan

34:57

Gelli Walker, best player on the court. So I

34:59

really like this team because of his his guard

35:01

play. He can shoot it. He can distribute.

35:04

He's just an outstanding player. But they've

35:06

got good continuity with their players on this team.

35:08

They do play a great 131

35:10

zone trap too. It is one of the best

35:13

coming off their last game. They destroyed

35:15

Rice last night. They're just playing their best basketball.

35:18

So I think they can do the same thing here to Western

35:20

Kentucky and get double digit

35:21

win. Yeah.

35:21

You would be minus six for Kenny at Western

35:23

2. I like that conference. Come tournament time.

35:25

Because the Fed Fed use really good 2, and, you know,

35:27

North Texas is is good their own. Right? I I think

35:30

there's some good basketball teams and conference

35:32

USA. I guess this is the last a iteration

35:34

of it. Right? They'll all be American conference

35:38

components next year, but just

35:40

think it's wide open, Kenny. I'm trying to find

35:43

like that horse. I like creating

35:45

little bit, not the the

35:47

big fellas back, but, you know, so much

35:49

inconsistency out there. We only got twenty seconds

35:51

left. I could talk to you

35:52

for, like, twenty hours straight. You're the

35:54

best. Canadian white bank is also like San

35:57

Diego State. Tomorrow on that college

35:59

basketball

35:59

slate. Thank you so much. Mexico. Yeah. Thanks, Kenny.

36:02

Great to see you. Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. Have a great weekend.

36:04

Yeah. What is happening? Hope man. They fall

36:06

not a lot of Mexico has so far. Alright.

36:08

We are underway with a bunch of the games on the

36:10

East Coast. We'll look at where we're at on the

36:12

Sean King. The New York Knicks have

38:59

gone down by double digits. VSiN

39:01

with Mitchell Robinson back in and looking pretty

39:03

good, Mitchell Robinson had massive Block

39:05

earlier first came back in fourteen. The

39:08

New York Knicks big man in the middle. Team has been

39:10

the seventh best defensive rating team with

39:12

him in the game in their lineups this year.

39:15

Down forty four twenty nine to the wizard

39:17

right now catching eight and half

39:19

live.

39:19

They got them right where they want them.

39:23

But it's a better way you were hoping

39:25

to get it on a team live. I do have

39:27

what could be construed as breaking news,

39:29

Tom Pelucero. Is reporting

39:31

that it's very likely that

39:33

the Los Angeles Rams will be trading

39:36

defensive back Jaylen Ramsey. Really?

39:39

Yeah. Whoa.

39:41

So already found out that that

39:43

they're cutting bait with

39:45

one linebacker in Bobby Wagner

39:47

today. now the Ramzi experience

39:49

is potentially coming to an end for the race. Man is officially

39:52

hung or scrapping. We

39:54

did we did we think we assume

39:56

that that was at least like the long

39:58

term result for what would happen with how

40:00

the Rams so front loaded themselves toward that

40:02

twenty twenty one title. Not that we not that we

40:05

thought they'd be just horrendous last year. Right.

40:07

But isn't wasn't this the wasn't this

40:09

the the landing spot all along?

40:11

Yeah. This is what it was. This is definitely how

40:13

the plane was gonna end up touching touching

40:15

down, but it was worth it. I think, you

40:17

know Yeah. But

40:19

they made it to two eleven

40:22

with the the model that they

40:24

they incorporated when they took over. So

40:27

I mean, overall

40:28

successful,

40:28

I would say so. Now the interesting

40:31

part would be how

40:33

difficult is it to redo it?

40:36

To scrap it and reengage how difficult

40:38

it is to square. 2 square one. Yeah. And what

40:40

will I mean, what what are you getting out of Matthew Stafford

40:42

as a quarterback?

40:43

I think it was hurt last year. Remember

40:45

we missed all the preseason

40:46

needs. He never looked like throwing. Right? Yeah. They

40:48

never looked right. Remember we were so excited for

40:51

Buffalo. And the rams buffalo

40:54

2 spiked

40:54

them. I mean, finally, start 2 finish.

40:56

I'm right. I'm right. had I had the rams

40:59

VSiN that

40:59

case. I did too. Still still actually

41:01

still kind of bitter. I had second half over in

41:03

that game. And only because

41:06

the the Rams literally did not score a point in

41:08

the second half. They lot that bet lost by the

41:10

hook. Right. And you're watching that going

41:12

really? This is this is what it's gonna be

41:14

from the Rams. And then also the bill the bills were

41:16

driving into score late fumbled inside the

41:18

Rams twenty.

41:19

Really? Is this how my season's gonna start

41:21

betting? Or is this how my night's going in this

41:23

first period in the Panthers game? I know I'm on the right

41:25

side, but if the Panthers hit the goal post with

41:27

another puck. I mean, this is almost like there's

41:30

a force field on it. But I did get the

41:32

Maple Leaf game tied at one -- Okay. -- but

41:34

I think Ottawa will start the second period on

41:36

the power haven't given up on that one yet either.

41:38

I still think auto has got a shot in

41:40

this one, but the hurricanes

41:42

are up to A20

41:44

lead. Although I do think the hurricane's first goal

41:46

should not have accounted. The

41:49

guy ran 2 the Ottawa goalie and

41:51

kinda just laid there in the

41:52

net. That's tough. Then

41:54

they give up a goal after that. Senator is eight

41:57

2 one right now. Down to nothing at the end of the

41:59

first period. Nothing nothing between the savers

42:01

and Panthers. And you have the wilded

42:03

leafs like you were talking about. Sean, one one there,

42:05

a Canadian's up 2 nothing on the flyers, ended the

42:07

first as well. That was the one game you didn't have action on.

42:09

My games have just tipped off in both

42:12

Atlanta and Milwaukee, so cabs,

42:14

hawks, heat bucks just under way to start

42:16

there. And it is can still get eight and

42:18

a half here with with the next down forty

42:20

seven thirty six, seven thirty to go first half. Who

42:22

I mean, Christoph's Poor Zyngas has been on one tonight

42:24

though. Sean, twelve minutes in the game. Nineteen

42:27

points, five of six from the field, five of five

42:29

from

42:29

three.

42:30

No. Oh, yeah. He's shooting three. Wow. Yeah.

42:32

They know who Mitchell Robinson does.

42:34

I mean That's

42:35

what well. Yeah. And that's that's why,

42:37

first, I was looking at that going. That's I've

42:39

got a rule when it comes on your phone. And this this

42:41

is applicable for me if whether I bet it or don't

42:44

I really try not to look at the game. This is no lie.

42:46

I try not to look at the game

42:48

until about five minutes left and the fourth.

42:51

I will take a glance at the halftime

42:53

score, but III

42:55

don't feel like what happens in

42:57

the first three and a half periods in the NBA

43:00

doesn't matter. The games always

43:03

tended in my opinion be within

43:05

range by midway in fourth quarter. Unless you

43:07

just get those land slot like,

43:09

wins. You know where, like, Boston blew

43:11

out Brooklyn by, like, sixty, like, a month

43:13

and half ago or something crazy. But, normally,

43:16

I feel like the game's always back

43:17

into, like, It could

43:19

go either way by that point. Listen, that one of the

43:21

classic things for for if it wasn't

43:23

for betting. You would sit and watch a

43:25

game, you know, in second quarter of the NBA and go

43:28

What am I what am I doing? Right. Right. What

43:30

am I doing? Seems like kind of a minor

43:32

issue for the NBA to sort out. They're already having

43:34

all their stars set out games, and now You

43:36

know, you're that's a good somebody like you who

43:38

watches a ton of sports, but you're going,

43:41

why do I need to tell I'll be closer to have not

43:43

watched a full NBA game all season.

43:45

I I set out phone to

43:47

open and two VSiN watched

43:50

the entire

43:50

game, not one. I've watched

43:53

every Milwaukee Bucks game since

43:55

twenty fifteen just when

43:57

you're in

43:58

college. Stuff stuff's gonna happen.

44:00

Right?

44:00

So I started the clock once I graduated college.

44:02

I will admit it's very hard for me to sit through a

44:05

full NBA game. I usually now I throw it up in the

44:07

home office with four other games -- Mhmm. --

44:09

doing work. I've got it in the background as soon

44:11

as you, you know, you can kinda tell when it's

44:13

those, you know, those end of half or obviously once it

44:15

gets to the fourth quarter, I kinda lock in. But, yeah,

44:17

it's become just one of those sort of like golf, just

44:19

becomes one of those periphery sports. It is really,

44:21

really hard when the game flow and the

44:24

again, the officiating, it's hard to get locked in

44:26

from start. It is. It is. It really

44:28

is. Then when you're calling the game, it's different. Like, when I

44:30

do the game, it makes you sure. Those it's funny

44:32

how it goes so fast when you're

44:34

calling. So Yeah. It's even it's actually

44:36

like a form of research for

44:38

work for you. Oh, yeah.

44:41

I guarantee you right now. I'm

44:44

just and and it's not because

44:46

I'm not a heavy I'm not a heavy NBA better.

44:49

Like, I just feel like you can't be great

44:51

at everything in this business. Like, I feel like you

44:53

have to kinda have, like, a decompression

44:56

And, like, for me, football

44:59

runs concurrent with the NBA for, like, the

45:01

NBA all the way up to the all star games. Like,

45:03

it's very difficult for me in the first

45:05

half of the NBA season to follow,

45:08

you know, closely NBA basketball. There's

45:10

so much football. Going on. And and and

45:12

that's something that I'm so passionate about and 2.

45:14

And then puxedoms has to do puxedoms So,

45:17

of course -- Right. -- my my disposable time

45:19

goes to hockey. So Now

45:22

is the time when I really start kinda trying

45:24

really, okay, let me really lock VSiN

45:26

the NBA. Let me make sure post trade

45:28

deadlines will the guys will be on the teams.

45:30

They're gonna be on, you know, for the playoff

45:32

run and into the playoffs. So but

45:35

it's good to have you on here somebody's really

45:37

into it. You know, because I think you and JBT are, like,

45:39

the the the the elite

45:42

on the network as far

45:43

as, like JBT He involved He's

45:45

way. I'm But but I mean, I enjoy

45:48

it. It's just you make a really good point from

45:50

the general betting perspective where it's a good

45:52

good pro tip for us to sour. It's like,

45:55

I I feel it. It's so like, you wanna you wanna

45:57

be able to bet on every single sport. Like, guys like West

45:59

rounds that are network who can just rattle off stats on

46:01

every single sport known to man. Really

46:03

hard to do.

46:04

Alright. It's it's

46:04

impossible. There's not enough hours in the day. So

46:06

stick to what stick to the couple, two, three, maybe

46:09

four sports that you're most passionate about. Feel

46:11

like you can handicap the best and you and

46:13

you go deep into those. It

46:15

helps for me that, yeah, I'm doing play by play for

46:17

the g league. And you're seeing a lot of these rotational guys

46:20

that will get sent down

46:21

and, you know, and so you're you're kind of in the mix

46:23

there VSiN you feel like you have better, you know, better

46:25

strangle. West's guy's little routine now. He

46:27

shows up to do decent live bets. He has his

46:29

two gallons of tea. Because he sits in the window

46:32

like he's got his little

46:33

routine. I guess he doesn't do coffee.

46:35

He does tea. Remember when I remember

46:37

when I said I was afraid of late points to Xavier

46:39

on the road because Are they little late?

46:41

No. It's it's it's the opposite. It's

46:43

kinda like how you and I, we were both we were

46:45

both scared off by Ohio State being favored

46:48

at home against Penn State. I was a little afraid

46:50

of laying it with Xavier where they've

46:52

they've lost three of their last four and

46:54

failed 2 at seventy points in any of the

46:56

four games. And we're playing

46:58

a really good seat hall team defensively tonight.

47:01

Half time in Newark Xavier

47:03

forty, seat hall twenty did

47:05

not see that. Totally boom. Three or four.

47:08

Thirteen points in

47:09

the first half. mean, I like him. He's a good

47:11

little player. He

47:12

is. Dean Hall is eight of thirty one from

47:14

the field and one of nine from three.

47:16

I'm too excited about that. I feel like you Oh, that's

47:18

not good, by the way. Oh, and this is the first year

47:21

for Xi Jinping, Holloway. You know he's written? Yeah. He's

47:23

I I think they've they've they've shown

47:25

some bright spots, but I do think they'll be better

47:28

next year than they are this year. You know, we can

47:30

start creating this culture, you know, get a full

47:32

roster of his guys, you know, into

47:34

the program. This is Sheen Holloway of

47:36

Saint Peter's fame. Still probably my

47:38

best call since I've been an analyst

47:40

here at VSiN with JPMorgan's Moneyline versus

47:43

Purdue. That's

47:44

amazing. I had so I had the peacocks plus

47:46

eighteen against Kentucky. But

47:48

that, you know I don't trust one of

47:50

bunch of the same

47:51

coach painter is the predominant painters. don't

47:53

trust it in big games. That

47:54

was it's arguably of a lot of the big choke

47:56

jobs by Purdue. That was that was I

47:58

don't know why he wouldn't play both big guys at

48:00

the same time. Against the

48:02

little midget team like

48:03

St. Petersburg. I was glad he didn't because,

48:06

man, I made up a lot of ground VSiN I said y'all

48:08

and I said y'all contest with Oh,

48:10

Tim

48:10

Murray.

48:10

I know you did. Forty to twenty one

48:13

Xavier that have. Seaton hall is laying four for

48:15

the second half. So they are now catching

48:17

fifteen points for the game, total of seventy

48:19

three. They're in the second half. That correlates

48:21

out to one:thirty four for the game now. VSiN of

48:24

those nights open seat hall, I I can't I'm good to

48:26

compensate to say, yeah, they're gonna make a game of it. It

48:28

looks been ugly so far. Alright. That's our number

48:30

two in the books for us. When we come back, Chris Andrews

48:32

runs things over at the South Point sports, which he'll

48:34

stop by here on VSiN Primetime.
