1:12Bad MGM tonight continues with Brad Evans and Pat Boyle. All right, welcome on back. Bad MGM tonight. West for the one sports. He's Brad Evans on Pat Boyle, the phone number to join the show 310-840-4910. Let's finish off with a couple of more Friday night games, breaking them down. Who you should be taking and who we're taking in our brackets. You can do whatever the hell you want. But let's get to a big coin flip game here. Last game on Friday night, Brad. In St. Louis, it's basically a home game for the Missouri Tigers in the SEC. They're 20 and 12 going up against the 7 seed Miami Hurricanes of the SEC at 25 and 8 Miami. This is basically a pick of Miami, though, is technically the small favorite in this one. I've really liked Miami here for the last couple of weeks. But the fact that this is basically a home game for the Tigers. I don't know how to feel about it. I still lean Miami, but I'm not that confident in this one.

2:15Tell me why Missouri might be the pick. Yeah, look, Mark Mitchell is the reason why Missouri could be the pick. And you mentioned it, man, the crowd is going to play a major factor in this game. There's going to be very partisan there in the Lou scubby Roddy scubby rock has got a very loyal fan base at all that far up the road and at Columbia. Hey, look at Missouri. They're a team right now top 70 in the country and effective view goal percentage offense over the last 30 days. Shoot the ball, especially well inside because their bigs have nice touch around the rim, 55.2% from two. But Jacob Cruz, the guy is a bit of an arc assassin. Major reason why they're shooting a quite respectable 35.5% from distance in their last nine games. Miami's been great inside. They have sides. They have the rebounding chops, obviously, to hang with a Missouri. But Miami's defensive efforts have been so lack of loss to hear down the search. They're outside the top 300 in AFG defense. So given the downsides of Hurricane's defense,

3:19and they give them the crowd factor in this game. I'm with you, man. I'm rolling with Missouri here to make me some money and hopefully get the victory and also, if they do that, I happen to my bracket and with them being the other dog, I think they're like plus one 10 on the money line, presently at Ben MGM that I wager on it. Yes, why? I love the gamble. Yeah, and look, here's the other thing. I know about you. I think Purdue, they're the big 10 champions. I feel like the Boilermakers are fraudulent, man. I just can't get it out of my head. All these early exits from Purdue over the last couple of years. I know they went to the National Championship game two years ago against Yukon. And I know that they made a decent run last year as well. But I don't know. I just feel like, I don't know what it is. I feel like if whoever wins between Miami and Missouri, he's got a damn good shot of beaten Purdue. And as of this very moment in my bracket,

4:20which we're gonna reveal, I got Miami going to the Sweet 16. I got Texas going to the Sweet 16 because I think they're gonna beat BYU and I think they're gonna beat Gonzaga. I got an 11 versus 7 in my Sweet 16 and I feel dirty about it. But I don't know, man. Do you agree with me? Do you think that either Missouri, if Missouri wins, that they could be Purdue as well, considering they would have essentially another home game again on Sunday night? Yeah, West Lafayette ain't all that far either from San Luis. Let's be real. That's probably about a three and a half hour drive. You don't have to go in route through Champaign or Bana where I live very close by. There can be a lot of Purdue fans there as well. Now, honestly, dude, I think you're a few clowns short of a circus with that point of view. Purdue is going to wax the floor with Missouri or Miami in the next round of this P.U. team. Hardly stanky on what it comes to score in the rock. They're doing so to historic rate right now.

5:21He looked over the last 12 games or average in 1.402 points for a possession. Folks, that's the highest ever recorded in Ken Palm history over that span. They're number one on the season in that category as well. They're getting after on the glass Oscar Club, the big seven footer, lane clogger, Drake Hoffman, Ren is got healthy and is got his game back. And he got maybe the best point guard arguably in the entire NCAA field and brain Smith who gets you a 15 point. So get you maybe 15 dimes. Purdue will wax queens in the opening round match with that 2.15 and they will beat and convincing fashion, Missouri, Miami, it doesn't matter. But Pat, be my guest and go ahead and just torture brackets in the process. Oh, okay. All right. Well, we'll see. I'm fading Purdue. I think the boiler makers are in trouble. So obviously you and I both think they crushed Queens University though in St. Louis on Friday night.

6:24And then really quickly, you converse the Furman Paladins, the Huskies in Philadelphia are 20 point favorites and Kansas against Cal Baptist and San Diego, the J-Hawks are 14 and a half point favorites. Any reason to think that either of those two games are gonna be close? Can I confirm and know? I don't believe in the Paladins. I'll take you con there. I do want to dwell quickly though on Kansas to Cal Baptist. Kansas outside the top 300 and effective Fugal percentage offense. What version do you have here? So we're gonna get, we don't know. There's really short on a shorter rock. Cal Baptist, kind of the same. Elk overall, both very good defensively. Cal Baptist has a 6-11 and 7-footer on that front line. Excellent guard play as well. Don't count out the Lancers, man. I think they're gonna lose by single digits and give Kansas a run for the money. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby. Darren Peterson, be damned. All right, when we come back, our entire crew, our producer Brandon Cums, our video producer Monty. Zach Crowe as well on the mix.
