Let's go places. This is live Vets Saturday. I'll be sent. These sportsmen in work. We're back at it here on live Vets Saturday. He's Femi of Ebife. I'm Dustin Sweetleson. And we've got a lot of action across the board.

College basketball. This hockey game keeps getting interesting. Every time I look over as well, Femi. So maybe we'll have to find something to do in-game. We'll puck action. The one we're monitoring very closely. Florida, Kentucky. Just because you want to see, Kentucky laying a number on the road in Lexington, laying six at close, are they at that level still? Right? They've been so hot, but this can be a tricky spot for a lot of teams with high expectations. And looking at the score now, they just hit a three. 49, 32. Todd Goldins team is laying 16 and a half on the road. Your in-game number is 173 and a half. I'm scared to look at the future number to win the title. I feel like it's probably already gone down. It's still late to one. You know what? I'm going to pair it with you. Are you jumping in? I have to. I'm jumping in. I'm going to be so bitter. It's great to be a gator. Wow. I am just going to be naked to Florida. Come March Madness. I'll have no exposure on the gators. And I will just be sitting there terrified watching these games shaking

because I think Florida is capable of obviously beating anyone in the country. And I am hoping selection Sunday is going to be a big day for me. Not just because of the excitement of the brackets, not because of the excitement of the opening lines, but I need to know which bracket is Florida in. Please do not put them in Michigan's bracket. Please do not put them in Iowa State's bracket. I need the gators far away from my national title futures. That's because that's the team. If you have any sort of exposure in the market to win the title, that's the team that should be scaring the hell out of you because they scared the hell out of me. There's something about peeking at the right time. And maybe I'm peeking too early. Well, the question would be, do you want to get a loss out of your system before we get there? It wasn't an issue last year. No, there does appear to be something about the way Todd Golden coaches, where his teams get off to like a moderate start lose a few games and then find themselves in the middle of the season and then take off once conference play begins. Almost like he's experimenting early in the year to figure out what he has. And once he knows his team just going these runs

and then the second half we're going to monitor. 18 seconds go in the first half. They're up 17. Curious what the second half number is. Did you see that graphic that he asked me? And just what was it? Since Florida has made 11 of their 13 field goal attempts. What are you supposed to do with that? Because here's the thing. Let's see how that's been allocated because these ridiculous. The size is such a difference for this team. There's just there aren't a lot of schools that are going to face in the NCAA tournament that are going to have two guys, let alone the four guys that they run out there in a regular rotation. So far in the game, rebounding is about even 1615. Florida with the lead. Three point shooting about even 60% from Florida, 50% from Kentucky. But here's the difference maker. 64% from the field for Florida, 38% for Kentucky. And I will say that the size has to play a role because Thomas Halk is the leading score of 17 points. Alex Condon has seven points in this game. Chinyaloo has six points and five boards in this game. The size is such an issue with Florida.

Yeah, I don't know. Unless you're Duke or Michigan or Arizona, these things are also big. I don't know how you're supposed to handle a team like Florida. And I look at Florida's resume from this season, this current season that we're in. And I'm not even going to go all the way to the non-conference. How the hell did they lose to Auburn at home? Because they weren't who they were yet. They weren't who they were yet. They lost to Auburn at home. They almost lost by double digits. This is this bomb ass Auburn team that Bruce Pearls trying to get into the end subway tournament. Like they lost to them. But since then though, they've destroyed everybody. Everybody. The second half number, I feel like on principle, like we should just lay it no matter what. Just just part of the experiment. Even though everything should tell you Kentucky, should be able to come back and contend, I think Todd Golden to a psychopath that wants to stuff like a gator. He wants to snatch him and then roll over and just suffocate them in the water. I'm pulling up the app right now. This will be called live betting on the air on live bet Saturday.

We're literally doing it. I'm pulling up the app to see what is the second half spread for Florida against Kentucky? Can I pair Florida money line with Florida to win the title? Did you, by the way, my book that I was looking at, that Caesar's, they dropped from seven to one to plus six 85 during this game. It makes sense. It honestly makes sense with the way they've been playing. Let's see here. Oh, I've been logged out of my space ID. Face ID. Oh, face. By the way, they updated it. It's, it's not okay. It doesn't pick up when you close the app out. It resets the top of the board. It's really annoying. This is it. Okay, like I had to like close the app. Now we're back in. Now let's get the password in here. Like folks, this is what we have to do. They they log you out. They log you in. They're minus 20,000 on the money line. That's it. Florida right now. Of course, we mentioned it. There's, you can lay 16 and a half on Caesar's. I'm waiting for Circa to post a second half number for this game. If not yet posted, we only have three games. Florida plus a half second half. Oh, man. I mean, to me, that's, that's, that's Florida all day. I, I, I, come on.

Let's do it. No, let's do it. That's Florida. We have to do it. It's, it's been too good. And I don't, I'm not getting in front of them. I'm, I'm not getting in their way. The Florida Gators are a wagon. And I, I keep saying I've said it. I'm cashing out for two weeks. You know, I keep looking at this number. I'm going to rent not betting. I'm going to bet it. I just got to find the best number. We'll do that after the show. Hopefully it doesn't move too far. In the NBA, we have one game going on right now, Femme. And I didn't even realize it. I just kind of saw the score and assumed it was Minnesota leading because they're at home. No, no. Orlando up 92, 78 on the road to the Timberwolves. What the heck is going on with this one? They're laying 10 and a half, totals 222 in a hook right now. As it has been all, all Orlando. And you know what it is? The scoring is just not there for Minnesota. You have two starters in McDaniels and Deven Chendo who are scoreless in the fourth quarter. Wow. Anthony Edwards has 31 points. Randall S14, Gobert has 10, Nasrita 11. Now on the other side, you've got one, two, three, four, five guys and double figures for the Timberwolves.

For as much as we've criticized Orlando and rightfully so this NBA season. Doesn't it oddly enough feel like that they're really good when they don't have one of Bancaro or Wagner? It's weird. They can't coexist for some reason. And you would think that, oh, Franz Wagner's out there. Apollo Bancaro's out there. Bands out there. It should be like basketball magic literally and figuratively. But it's not a Wagner's the one that's out right now. It does feel like the magic are somewhat turning a corner. And what is a really fun race for the Southeast Division? I mean, the Hornets have become one of the great stories of this NBA season. Miami is always out there hanging around and lurking or Orlando, the team that we all thought of prior to the start of the season. This is an interesting one to keep in mind. If Wagner's going to be out for the foreseeable future, which I believe he is, how does this Southeast division end up shaking out? Because the Hornets, they don't seem like they can lose games although they didn't lose their last game. But man, is it just going to be Orlando oddly enough? I guess.

I guess. So here's what I want to throw some cold water on the Hornets thing. And I enjoy watching them play. So I don't want this to get twisted up here. Also, are they going to make the play in? Like there are only three games up in the lost column of Milwaukee, which got Yannis back by the way. Everyone's so excited about them right now. And I understand why I think Kinepples awesome. And I think the other pieces are getting more importantly. Charles Lee might be a difference making coach because the team plays defense. And he has somehow reined in Lamello ball who we thought was going to try to do and one tricks out there at some point in his career. So they're on a six game winning streak. That was snapped to the heat yesterday. They started the season four and 14. Then they went on a 22 and 14 run. And everyone's super excited about what they're seeing. But let's be fair. They're wins recently on this win streak. Washington, Chicago, Indiana, Portland, Dallas, and Boston at the end, Boston waiting for Tatum. I'll give them credit. It was a good win. There were six and a half point dogs. But they're 0 and 2 against Detroit. They are one in three against Cleveland. They're 0 and 2 against the mix. And they're going to face the Celtics two more times

to Tatum. It's a great story. It's a magical run. There's just a ceiling here for the Hornets. So I don't want people to get too excited. I was talking about this with Will Hill on Veecin' Prime Time on Wednesday, which you can check out by the way, 7-11 Eastern Time here on Vee Sports betting network. Shameless plug. But to me, there's no way in hell this team is an Eastern Conference contender. No, it's just, we talked about it with the San Antonio Spurs, which is a much more legitimate NBA team, in my opinion. You don't go from not being in the playoffs all of a sudden competing to win the conference. That's just not how the NBA goes. And I know it's a new CBA. It's more parody driven now. We saw a team like the Pacers go to the finals last year. But guess what? The Pacers had been in big time, but the Pacers beat the Knicks in a game seven at the Garden prior to last season. They at least have been in those playoff wars. The Hornets, they've been irrelevant. Kudos on the great year. It's a cute story.

It's not happening. You're not going to talk me into making a long shot bet on the Charlotte Horns. To do what? No, just make the plan, and they'll hang the banner for that. They might not even do that. This is what they are. And people are going to be offended by this comparison. I had to go back and look. I remember the 2018-19 Brooklyn Nets with Spencer Dinwitty and Jared, they were very solid across the board. They pushed Philadelphia in the first round in the Eastern Conference playoffs to a five game series, but every game was competitive, right? They could have won a couple of those games. Kind of like the pistons in the Knicks last year. That's the, here's where you have to handicap with the Hornets. It's not that they're going to beat someone. It's they're going to take so much out of another team that that team is going to come into their next series, having a little PTSD and being knocked around, and may not be able to play good in the first two games of that next series. That's what the Hornets are. They're going to push someone to the brink, but they're not winning a series. Well, maybe they do push someone to the brink if they get out of the plane, which they still can do, by the way. Like, based on the standings,

they're going to look at it right now. There's still a lot of basketball to be played. Of course, they can win some games down the stretch, but they are right now the ten seed in the Eastern Conference. Like, people are talking about this team, like, they're the five. Like, let's slow down. Like, come on. Boston, Cleveland, the Pistons, you beat them twice in the Knicks, and I'm down on the Knicks, and I might be wrong to be down on the Knicks. Because they're the ultimate argument of, they might be built better for the postseason than regular season. My only issue, though, with that is they're two best players, or they're two marquee players. Liabilities on defense. Like, Brunson can't defend. Towns can't defend. Towns isn't scoring now. It's the town situation seems like it's, it's sour. You know what? It's soured a little bit. Towns and McHale Bridge is, Mike, go down as two of the worst trades you've ever seen in an offseason. It's what McHale Bridge used to be an elite defender. I don't know if it's because he's now out here trying to get buckets, Mike. He doesn't do that either. He's nowhere close to the defender that he was when he was in Phoenix,

and when he was in Brooklyn, my biggest concern is they are two Brunson centric. So when he has it off night, and there's been a few recently, they can't make anything happen. It's, it's a tricky situation. I don't know, like, we talk about all these teams, it might be Detroit, man. I don't know, it might be. I'm not sure if I'm ready to go there just yet, but you have to at least consider all we back with more live veterinary on the other side. You're here because you want an edge. That's what separates listeners from winners, but let's be real mindset alone doesn't get best home pros win because they've got the tools, the data and the discipline.

This is Live Vets Saturday on V-Sand, these sports betting at work. Don't write it is, it's Live Vets Saturday. Femme of Faye Dustin, Sweetleson at Bar Canada, the D in downtown Las Vegas, hanging out talking college hoops, a little NFL action as well. We'll get back to some more college hoops in the next segment with our buddy Greg Hoops, Peterson. We'll be checking in with us V-Sand College basketball betting analyst, you know Hoops is dialed in this time of year. And especially on a Saturday. Oh God. Oh my God, it's sun up to sun down to them. Look, there's a few things that we do extremely well here. The betting guides for every sport, the MLB betting guides out right now, the March Madness guides coming out as well. But Greg Peterson alone is worth the subscription. So one, you can download his podcast, Coast Coast hoops, wherever you get your podcast work. He literally handicaps every college game, every single day, so you don't have to. And he doesn't need notes. I had him go on with Patrick Mahor and V-Sand Live, Mad Dog Sports Radio this week. And Patrick was just like, I'm just going to start peppering him with random games.

Every conference, every team, no matter how big, no matter how small, he knows what guys are averaging off the top of the head. Nobody lives, eats, breathes a sport more than Greg Peterson does the college basketball. Passion is not a strong enough word to describe. And he writes up games every day at V-Sand.com, he makes his own lines. So you can see what his actual difference is and why he's betting a certain side. I absolutely love it there. He's anytime you can get hoops on to talk college hoops, you have to do it. Which is why we're doing it here in the next segment on V-Sand Live Bet Saturday. But I will point out, as we continue our college basketball conversation, Mississippi State Georgia. I feel like I'm like scratching and clawing, trying to somehow back into this game. Worst feeling. The Bulldogs of Georgia, point that out, have been in control for much of this second half. What was once Mississippi State up by six, up by seven in the first half, now down seven, as we're approaching the final media time out of the under four spot of the game.

It's going to end on six, you know that. It's a seven point game for 14 to go. Because I got to tell you, quite an atmosphere. A lot of empty seats to close out the regular season. Seeing your day in Starkville, they can't show up. You know what's crazy? It's Chris Jans when he started there. And this is before NIL. And obviously Mississippi State doesn't have the money. The rest of the SEC has, which makes me always wonder like, why don't they just go somewhere else? You can go dominate, go dominate the sun belt or something like that. I know that's quite a drop. But at the same point in time, it's like, what are we competing for if we can't spend like everyone else in that league where they just care so much? Chris Jans when he first got there for NIL, he used to have a lot of size. And he was a good win on the margins coach. It's impossible now if you don't have the ponies to run the race. Yeah, it's a habit and have not sort of situation in college sports. And it was like that before we had NIL. It was just kind of under the table. But like, now it's, do you have the people who are willing to spend the money? I mean, we talk about Texas Tech and football.

Texas Tech now in basketball as well, although JD Topping unfortunately tore the ACL, but they have Cody Campbell. And Cody Campbell is like the big donor to their NIL collective. And he is willing to make Texas tech sports. I believe their softball team, I didn't they win the college world series, the women's college world series, the softball team, like he is spending so much money on Texas Tech athletics. That's why football was awesome and they ran through the big 12 like a hot night through butter. And that's why basketball has been really good as well. And they could have made an elite final for run if not for their best player going down with a significant need. And I'm not trying to make this political, but gas prices are about to go up a lot. And he is a oil and energy guy. There is going to be a lot of money for him to put back into that program over the course of the next few months to a year at least. I am not trying to, it's just the reality of the situation. He's going through. He's going to make a lot of money. And Texas Tech ain't going anywhere as long as we're paying a lot at the ball. 100%. I think the red raiders will be here in football, basketball, softball, volleyball, I'm sure

it's probably going to be on the up and up. If there's a stockout, if you could buy a red raider LLC, that stock, that stock is going to the moon based on the money that is being backed by Cody Campbell out there. We shouldn't let the folks know because we are at halftime in Lexington. Yes. I did place the wager on the Florida Gators. Did you get Florida second half as well? I can't remember if I did. If I did, it's probably still up in my half and I just haven't bet it. We have so many bets. You almost forget what you're even on. Well, dude, that is, I did, I did bet it minus 120 plus a half. There we go. On the Gators in the second half, we are playing this angle of Todd Golden, making me adjustment at halftime to where the opposition cannot adjust on the fly and they just steam roll the opponent. So hoping that Florida can win this one, I end up just laying 16 and a half over at C's or just on an in game number as the Gators are up by 17 right now. I think they're going to be able to preserve this lead, but let's see how this plays out. Kentucky, it's senior day and they're a prideful little bit of program, but I don't think prize is going to save them today with the way the Gators are playing. It's been a weird year for Kentucky and you kind of got the signals early on that

things weren't quite right, worked in some of those knock for two. They were also super hyped coming into the year and I understood it, right? They were this rare combination of a couple of young studs coming in as freshmen. A few veterans that you trusted, they had size, they had shooting aids. It was like this balanced approach to the roster. It actually seemed very sensible. Gone of the days of the one in Dunning, Kentucky instead, like a very sensible approach to the roster that felt like it was sustainable as it worked out. I don't know what's going on there for Mark Pope in year two, he hit the ground running year one. I thought things that had some intriguing momentum where he's like, okay, I understand why he's there. I see the upside of him being the coach this year leaves a lot to be desired and the irony we just talked about the NIL and the transfer portal. No one is willing to spend more than Kentucky. Oh, they will write whatever check they have to. It almost could be the best thing possible for the team is to have a substandard year because now they come out angry and they just go all in and invest at every position. I mean, like it was a 20, 25 million dollars is the payroll for this Kentucky team and

they got worked by like 40 against Gonzaga, yeah, and Gonzaga stinks. Think Gonzaga is not like this is not like Mark fuse, but this is one of those number one seed Gonzaga type. They're going to be like a three or a four who knows what they can do come term in time but like they got worked by that Gonzaga team on a neutral and the game was played. I want to say it was in like Nashville. Yeah. It's an SEC country and Gonzaga comes all the way from the Pacific Northwest and gives them the belt like it's just like I don't know what's happening with Kentucky basketball but maybe it's not maybe Mark Pope is not the guy as you have mentioned. I'm leaning in that direction because two years into this thing leaves a lot to be desired. Like you said, we do have some games. Oh, coming up. I have a game that's about to get underway at five thirty. I believe you're on this game as well, but we're on different bets with it that being in the end of Ohio State. Let's get bubble. Let's just as we have a couple of teams on the bubble according to ESPN's bracketologist Joe Lanardi two teams that need victories. I like the under between Indiana Ohio State. This is going to be one of those games on the bubble tightly contested defensive efforts

plus Ohio State in their last game shot the lights out against Penn State earlier in the week and Indiana who I bet on against Minnesota was also scorching hot. I am fading offense. I am playing into the negative offensive regression. I like under one forty eight and a half. What do you like side total between the buck eyes and the Hoosiers? If I was going to bet on the total, I would be on the under as well. Devries for into the under as a road dog with the Hoosiers and both teams really good defending the three ball. So if they can slow that down those shots beyond the perimeter, I don't see this thing getting out of hand with the slow pace both teams play with. So because of that, I do like your play on the under instead. This is one of those spots where I'm going to go and back the hungry dog who needs to run faster. And that's Indiana. Indiana needs to prove that they're worthy of being in the dance. I don't want to see Ohio State by the way. There's nothing about this team. They're one in one in nine and quad one wins this year. I just like there's nothing about Ohio State where I'm like, I can't wait to see what they might do. They might win a game.

They probably won't. Instead, I'm going to take Indiana who needs it a little bit more who has really slumped lately. They're probably the one outside looking at at this point. They snapped the four game skin with a 30 point win against Minnesota. I think that could carry over here. As Ohio State comes in with back to back wins against Purdue and Penn State, not that Penn State's all that impressive for anyone. In Indiana, five in O covering the number, their last five meetings. You need Wilkerson. You need to freeze to go off on the road because if they're not, the rest of the team isn't good enough to lift them up. But I do think this is where superstars play like superstars. So give me the Hoosiers catching. I believe I took four and a half earlier today. I'm going to grease with you because it's now down to three and a half seeing. And those three and a half are getting better as well. Like you get to pay some minus 120 if you want to back the Hoosiers as a road dog. We mentioned being on the bubble. Indiana, like they definitely need it more because they're in that last four in from a Jolana, the ESPN's bracketologist. He has Santa Clara, SMU, Indiana, and New Mexico as those last four in Ohio states in

the last four by. But right now, if the tournament was held today, Indiana would be going to Dayton. Okay. In that first four. So this is a must. It wouldn't be a horrendous loss. But it's like, man, you kind of need this one. If you want to be safely into the tournament heading into big 10 tournament play, they're in as long as no chaos happens, also conference tournaments as well. So that is like, it's a little bit of an extra boost to get you in there is to take care of business eight point game, by the way, in Starkville, 93 85 Georgia on top. Mississippi state just missed a stupid three in the club. I don't even want to watch, honestly, it's just one of those games where I know it's going to come down to some Tom Foulery. I would use another word, but FCC airways, but like, I just, I, I do not want to, like this is, it's, it's landing six. I actually think you're right. It's going to land six and I'm going to break your heart, dude. How about it? How about an alley you upon your head? How about that to make it a 10 point game with under three minutes to play? So not looking good for the bulldogs dressed in white.

The Mississippi state bulldogs here on senior day looking good for Georgia real quick. And actually, well, we have some time. We can get to this play a little bit later on since it tips off at the top of the hour. That's between tech to say in them and LSU. What do I like in that game? You'll have to wait a little bit longer to find out and hang with us here on this live bed Saturday, but coming up next, we talked about him. He joins us Greg Hoops Peterson to break down this loaded slate on a Saturday. This is live bed Saturday on V-San. These sports betting in work. Cashy, I'm cashy out. Live bed Saturday rolls I was due. I was due for one live bed Saturday. It was a tight reminder. That's what he does. That commercial break conversation. I'm Dustin Sweetlesen. This is not cashy out. You know, I know that the sun's out. And there's other humans around me.

He's family of Bebuffet. And we're live from the Dio Telecocito in downtown Las Vegas. A lot of games going on right now. We are sweating out of play. We're on opposite sides. I laid five with Georgia. Femi took five and a half with Mississippi State. 92 seconds remaining. And it's a seven point game. I told you, it's going to be six and you're going to miss by the hook. I know how these things go. I've been on that side very many times. So we'll keep you updated there. And then at a half time, we've got Florida. I get it. Yeah, it's still half time. I don't know. They came out. They came out. Florida is 53, 40, 36 on Kentucky. They're laying 15 and a half total. 155 and a half. And that's where I want to start with our next guest. He is Greg Hoops Peterson. You can find him an ex at G unit underscore 81. Every day, he writes up his college basketball plays at Bison.com. But more importantly, his podcast. Coast to Coast Hoops available wherever you get your podcast. He breaks down every college game. So you don't have to. And he joins us now in the progressive guest line.

Talk to me, Greg. Kentucky continues to thump everything in its path. With a big lead on the road at Kentucky 53, 36 early in the second half. What are you seeing from the gators that has allowed them to transcend to this level late in the season? For Florida, they're just finally getting a little bit of perimeter play because there's no question. They've got one. The best table forwards that you're going to find in all of college basketball with. Having Rubin Janielu, give me 11 plus rebounds per game. Heck, they had Thomas Ha in the last game and they were still fine without him. Like, you've got weapons upon weapons down low. They just need a monochrome of three point shooting and ball control. Because Boogie Flan at the beginning part of the year, he was not living up to his potential. Feels like he's starting to round into form. I've been saying, no, you're long. I feel like Florida needs to utilize urban clubs are a little bit more easier. Best shooter. It feels like they're starting to do that a bit more as well. And if Florida can figure it out in the back, or I'm not saying they're the best team in all of college basketball.

But I think they might have the high ceiling of any team in college basketball. Wow, that's high praise. And we've been talking about it all throughout the last few weeks here. Hoops that Florida looks like a one sea. Well, now that you get the Yukon lost to Marquette earlier this afternoon, Florida definitely in the driver's seat. If they're able to take care of business today. And next week in Nashville for the SEC tournament, have to ask you though about the battle for tobacco road. Cameron indoor stadium North Carolina at Duke as the Tar Heels beating with the buzzer beater last go around in Chapel Hill. Duke looking for the revenge, the betting market betting that angle. This is now out to as high as 18 and a half total 147. How are you looking to bet this side total Tar Heels blue devils. I just can't lay 18 plus points in this rivalry. Like I know that it sounds like one of the simplest handicaps ever, but man. Like I recognize the North Carolina is not quite on the same level of Duke. I recognize that Duke is going to be very angry in this game.

I felt like this line should have been closer to 12 and a half 13. I'm in on the points here with North Carolina. I think that you get a good effort out mode. Even with Gale Wilson out for the season, they still have Henry V. Sark. He gives you 16 plus points, eight boards at seven feet tall. He's able to shoot a bit from three and North Carolina is able hold up down though. They're a top 20 team in the country terms of opponents two point shooting percentage. And if there is one not that you can have on Duke, they're not necessarily the most amazing team around the perimeter. They're good. They shoot 35 and a half percent for three. That's a top 85 mark in the country. But it's all like they're completely dominant there with North Carolina having a strength. I think that's enough for them to hold in there. I think that you should be sprinkling the money line here new, but at the same time, 18 and a half in Duke, North Carolina. It just sounds wrong and I was willing to take the points. We still have a little bit of time. Can we touch 20? Can we touch 20 in this game? I don't know if it's ever touched 20, but that would be an absurd number. Greg Hoops, Peterson's with us. Host the coast to coast hoops, wherever you get your podcasts,

write up every single day over at Vison.com. Let's go to the big 12 BYU. What are you doing with them these days? I was on them last weekend on the road at West Virginia, and that did not end well for me. They're laying two and a half hosting Texas tech. Maybe some of that energy losing top end has run out for the Red Raiders. But do you trust BYU to lay the number here at home, Greg? I trust in Texas tech more than I trust in BYU at this point. That's what it comes down to because with BYU, they have not shown any sort of life whatsoever without Richie Saunders. They had that one spirited effort against Iowa State, and that has been it. And for Texas tech, yeah, they lost the last game against TCU. They still look like a team that is pretty formidable without GT Topham because they've been without Topham and the four games without them shooting 40 plus percent from three orange. Meanwhile, you've got a BYU team that I knew you would think that the offense would be going down with our Richie Saunders. This defense is metatrocious. They've given up 75 plus points and all but one game without them.

I think that for BYU, that's really going to be their undoing with Texas tech as well. They just have a little bit more depth. BYU is left with only two guys at average eight plus points per game. With Texas tech, Luke Bogomboi has come in. He's been able to give you about two blocks per contest. You still have a few guys are able coming off the bench to give you some contributions. I like Texas tech here on the money line. Okay. It doesn't feel good to be going up a taco of Greg Hoops Peters in there. I laid it with BYU spoiler alert for our best bets coming up in the next segment. But Hoops saying he likes the red raiders. Dustin and I Hoops are also sweating out this Georgia Mississippi state game. Dustin laid the five with Georgia. I took five and a half with Mississippi state. I used to free throw the seven point game. It's a seven point game here Hoops. Oh no. This is a live sweat. I need a Starkville miracle. Here's a kid. Three knocked down. There's three. Oh no. Oh no. I need a foul. I need a foul. I need a foul. Thank you. So cool. I'm so happy to have Steve Lewis here. We have. Here on the air.

Staying in the SEC, Auburn and Alabama, the iron boiler basketball the titlبيn Seven and a half that totals on 177. Any opinion there between Auburn on the bubble a lot of people making their campaign for the tigers. Can they get it done against the tide? Well, there's nothing likes a good clean family Fudger. And with this one, I do like the points as I do like the points as well. So I'm going to be willing to take a shot here on Auburn. I was personally able to get eight. I made my number seven and a half. So try to get an eight plus here with Auburn just because with Alabama, I don't trust the defense enough to be able to lay this over a number. And you're going to get no defense in this game whatsoever. Personally, I feel like one seventy seven and a half is a little bit too lofty on the over, but I mean, man, trying to take it under an Alabama game. It's rough. It's really rough to say the least, even if you catch it's probably going to be an unpleasant experience. So I'm not really advocating for that. But with Auburn, they absolutely need this game. You've got to shot all who does give you eight plus rebounds for game.

Alabama, they actually don't give up a whole bunch of clean looks. They just don't generate any turnovers whatsoever. I think that that keeps Auburn lively. So we'll take eight plus with Auburn. All right, it is a final score in Starkville. Georgia pulls off the win in the cover. They won by six, right? Uh-huh. Is that exactly what I predicted six? Yeah. That's what you said. Yeah, that was the vibe that I had. What was the final 90 as it landed six is all I remember. When you catch five and a half, that's usually what stands out. 10296, your final score, Georgia with the win, did go over that total. Oh, my goodness. How about Mississippi State Score at 96? All right, we're chatting with Greg Hoops, Peterson, Coast to Coast Hoops. Get his podcast wherever you get your podcast. Also, every single day, he's writing up games over at Vecin.com. Last one, we're staying in the big 12 here, Greg. And let's talk about Arizona going to Colorado, laying a big number, 14 and a half total, 156, 156 and a half. How do you want to attack this game? I did take two touchdowns plus zero with Colorado,

because it's just tough to be able to go to Boulder and win by this many points. Like I think Arizona's going to be able to get the job done. I wouldn't be surprised if they win this game by 10 plus, but I made my number 13. Colorado is a team that shoots it quite well from 3-4 inch at home. They shoot over 36% from 3-8 out. Arizona is going to be able to get a lot of good opportunities as well, because Colorado's outside the top 3-20, turns upon its three-point chaining process. I know what I'm about it. Arizona is going to be able to do a nice job down though. Toby Awaka, Mativa's Cree Vos. These two guys give you eight plus, 18 plus rebounds per game, but for Colorado, they do a nice job in terms of valuing the ball. They don't turn the ball over a ton. They're able to find some good looks, and I do think that that's going to be just enough in that home court environment for them to hold in there. So here's the 14-and-a-half year with the Buffalo ladies. He's Greg Hoops, Peterson. I really encourage you to become a decent pro. Check out the website. He does all the dirty work. So you don't have to be lays out every game where he sets the number. And then listen to his podcast, coast to coast hoops, wherever you get your podcasts. Greg, thank you as always for the time, my friend. Good luck with the bets and rest up.

It's officially March, so you're going to be a very busy man. Oh, I definitely am going to be at it. I wouldn't want it any other way, gentlemen. Thank you. He's the best. He's Greg Hoops, Peterson. And right now we've got a 15.16 point game in Lexington. Florida though, not slowing up. Just continues to shoot up breeze and be aggressive offensively with that lead on the road in Lexington 61.45. We've got a barn burner in Purdue. Wisconsin up 69.62. And they're just going to keep chucking up shots from the outside right now. As Wisconsin with the lead man, would you think about coming back with the boiler makers looking at the in game number? It's still only one and a half. They're catching one and a half, total all the way up to 187 and a half. I don't know if I'd want to come back with the boiler makers just because it feels like Wisconsin can't really miss. Now, it's regressed a little bit. Slowing has or scoring has slowed down, I should say. But it just feels like Wisconsin has that look offensively. They're in rhythm.

I don't want to be against it. All right, so that's where we stand with the live action. But plenty to preview coming up later tonight, including Duke, North Carolina, and Femi and I both have plays in A&M and LSU. So more of that coming to Ray Plus, I did take a little bit on a team in the WBC that gets started in 20 minutes as well. All that coming up on the other side of live, that Saturday.

It's the final segment of LiveBets Saturday here at Bar Canada at the D in downtown Las Vegas. Family of benefit, Dustin Sweetleson, and we've been on this journey together over these last few hours of a live sweats. I want to point out, Fanny, because we were talking about this hockey game Rangers and the Devils. We're not the biggest hockey guys. But first period, the first two segments of this show,

it's 2-1. Total ballooned up to eight and a half. I was like, yeah, let's go under on that one. Well, right now, it's four-three Devils with the lead, 3-14 to go. Despite the onslaught of action early, the undermate cash, and even... Oh, boy. Although here's a breakaway. Devils. Oh! Oh! As soon as it came out of my mouth, who knew the opposite was going to happen? Was that the American hero, Jack Hughes? It might have scored the goal there. It might have been. I think it might be, Jack Hughes. Oh, my God. Yep, you can't make it up. Wow. I have this now. For the second, I declare something is being an absolute. The opposite within seconds will happen. Now, we can still under-eight and a half. But a pole goalie kills us. There is someone out there who might have been under-eight and a half. That's just like, Dustin, please do not say a damn word. I'm sorry, I apologize. And here's Jack Hughes on a breakaway. Just in the All-Union bag. How about that? But I would say, like, the one element

where the under-eight and a half could still be live is that the team's down two goals. Versus you're not going to get beat by overtime. You can only get beat by the open net here. That is correct. Now, as I say, that the Rangers are going to score two goals. And the last three minutes will be... Three minutes will be 5-5-0-T. Yeah. I mean, it's been a hell of a game. I'm flurry. It's a Jack Hughes second goal, by the way. Wow. So shout out to Jack Hughes. Captain America. Captain America. God had done for us the old goal mental game in Milan, which feels like five years ago. And I think it was three weeks ago. Wasn't it even three weeks ago? I don't think it was. It was like two weeks ago. Hey, it's March, man. You can only blame me but so much, man. I'm dialed in on college basketball. But yeah. You are. You've had a great day. It's been... I'll say it's been a good day. It started out great. This window right now, like, late afternoon, up for us on the West Coast, early evening, dinner time for those of you on the East Coast. No, this ain't kind of gone better. You know, late seven with Sarah Q. And like, we're still early on in the second half. There's a chance there, but they are down by three. I'm on the under in this Indiana Ohio State game,

which I think is actually one of the more fascinating games of the day. Well, there's something on the line. Exactly. It feels like you're getting... It's not like a tournament game, but it does feel high stakes with both of those teams being on the bubble really a desperate game for the Hoosiers. But let's just kind of see how this goes. I have a lot in the late night action, but this mid-day kind of late afternoon, after a little bit of a slower start than an early afternoon, which I was just firing in darts, and we were cashing against. Yeah. I'm two and four pre-flop. I'm a little butthurt, the Vandy Tennessee under. Yeah, that was... That was like an out-of-body experience for both those teams. The total at halftime was 130 and a half. They ended up dropping like 180 points in the game, whatever it was. And then Sam Houston came back against Liberty, cut it to like a two or three point game, didn't cover the four and a half in the end, lost by seven. We got it back with Georgia minus five. So I'm two and four, but we're looking good. I have the over Wisconsin Purdue at 156. That looks good. How about 189 and a half on the live pool? Okay. So that's going to get there.

I have Cal plus six, which they were leading at halftime at wake. Now they're down by eight. So I don't know where that's going to stand. That was my best bet in the Circa Friday contest there. And then I floored a minus six, which should be good. And then in the NBA, we went one and two in the one game. But I do have a play in the WBC coming up. I'm just trying to talk about it. Oh, let's get into it here. Now, is this Team USA versus Great Britain or is this another? Now, full disclosure, I won my first WBC bet. I was like, oh, I've got this thing pegged. Then I went, oh, in three yesterday. So it came back this morning and I had minus 150. And that ended up getting home as well. Let me pull up the world baseball classic scores, though, just to see what the final score was. How about that beat last night, though, for those of you who might have taken the nine and a half with Brazil. There's 15 to five in your eye hole. Well, how about this? Earlier today, Nicaragua was about to beat the Netherlands. Three one in Aussie. Albies hit a walkoff three run home run to give the Netherlands a big win there. That would have been an upset.

But earlier today, Canada won over Columbia eight to two. So we're going to know today in the world baseball classic. There we go. We are going to look at Panama and Puerto Rico. Okay. And I actually have to pull up the becks. I didn't write it down here. But Panama lost three one to Cuba. Puerto Rico beat Columbia five. Nothing. Panama used their ace Logan Allen PR through Seth Lugo. And I'm not really that high on Puerto Rico this year. Another Jack Hughes global. Oh, my God. So it went over. I don't have the under eight and a half in game. So I'm not the high on Puerto Rico because a lot of guys couldn't get insurance to play or they dealt with injuries like when door and others. And outside of Lugo, I'm not terrified by their pitching. You got to have a stomach for it. And it's baseball with spreads. I'm on Panama plus four and a half against Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico is the home team. Puerto Rico playing in their home stadium in their home country. It could get dicey. But I think Panama could enough to hang around here. So it took plus four and a half. You said it a couple times. I just want to make sure I got this correctly. Seth Lugo is pitching for Puerto Rico.

You know, he's Puerto Rican. Is he? Oh, I didn't know that. But he may have grown out. He went to college in America. Do you go to seat in a hall? Where did Seth Lugo go to college? I did not know. I did not know. Learn something new every day. He went to set in Terry College of Louisiana. Yeah, he got it out the mud, huh? But he's from Louisiana. His family is. Oh, gotcha. So he's Puerto Rican descent. It's a lot of that here. Because I. Austin Wells is a catcher for the Dominican Republic. Yeah. Yeah. How about the turn coat Nolan Aeronato played for team USA last time around. Now he's playing for Puerto Rico because they don't have enough players. The turn coat. He's a turn coat. Did you? You can't declare one country and choose another. Benedict Aeronato. Benedict Aeronato is a great nickname. But hold on, Panama real quick. Panama's respectable man. They have some legit major leakers. I think they can manufacture runs. And Puerto Rico's lineup just isn't depth of the ton of power. I could be completely wrong about this. But that's just my vibe. And maybe it's because I'm looking at a baseball game. And I can catch four and a half runs.

I'm principal. I'm going to take it. I think these are football friends that we have in the world baseball. Like the total. We got a total of an 11 10 and a half between Israel and Venezuela. 14 and a half between great Britain and the United States. I kind of like the team total Venezuela over eight and a half. I love it. It's a team total of 10 and a half. I don't know who Israel's throwing out there. Dude, the team total in the world baseball classic. Would he? Would you? So school bulls pitching like what? One inning? Is that his deal? I think three innings. Three innings. What he's doing. I know he's like a one and done. Maybe for it was one and done for the game. And he's going to go back to joining the Detroit Tigers. But I'm pending on how long he's pitching. I mean, the total is at 14 and a half. The problem though is I have no idea who great Britain is throwing out there. And the lineup for the United States is like a murderer. Yeah. So it's a little bit trapped tough to a Tibetan under in this great Britain USA game that oh, by the way, the USA laying nine and a half on the run line.

Team total for great Britain, two and a half. Slightly juiced to the over though, minus 145. Gary Gil Hill. You don't know who he is. No, there's one player I know on great Britain. It's Vance Worley. I don't know the last time he pitched in the major lead. They're lined up. Jazz Chisholm. They have that at least. Jazz Chisholm is on great Britain because he's from the Bahamas. Oh, gosh. That's how we're able to. Well, that's how all the curious out players play for Netherlands. Okay. So that's how that all how that all works here. Is it provinces? Is that what it's called? I'm not so sure. I'm not going to die. I was hoping you were going to say it when I laid it out. In fact, you didn't know either. Territories. Territories. Territories. Territories. At risk of getting in trouble. I will not be diving in deep. Although I don't think we could get in any trouble that that happened. No, and I think it's pretty well. Established that I'm the most ignorant person on this network. So I think we're okay there.

Yeah, we're going to roll with a few late night plays. So in the A&M LSU game, I'm on the first half. For A&M on the money line. I'm also going to be on Marist Quinnipiac under 130 and a half. Marist unders have been very, very good to me. This year, John Dunn is a pure undercoach. And I think at a neutral site in Atlantic City, I don't think we're going to get a ton of points here. It's a low total. But I'm still going to go under 130 and a half. And that will do it for my. Oh, and then NBA. We're going Duncan Robinson over 11 and a half points.

Ron Holland over his points and rebounds combined. I have a handful. I'll save you guys on the explanation because we have only But limited time left here on this very fine program. I'm on the under in the A&M LSU game. So I'm going under 160. Let's go contrarian with that. I laid one with Providence at Georgetown. I almost did that as well. You can still still time in five o'clock. Is that when that one gets back? It's not going well today. I should be adding. I laid seven and a half with Alabama in the iron bowl of basketball. Get Auburn out of my face. They have no business being in the tournament. I took six and a half with USC against UCLA. I continue to try to catch this fall in life. That is the Trojans. I laid three and a half with Minnesota against Northwestern. I laid two and a half with BYU against Texas Tech. And then on the late night tip. Oregon pickup against Washington out there in Eugene. Those are my plays for college basketball. The rest of the day. That does it for us here on a live basis. Saturday.
