Before I knew it, I built a business for storing muscle cars on Facebook Marketplace, and the community of car lovers on Instagram. Today, new customers send me what's that message is from all over.

From the mint gaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky, right above the circus sportsbook, I am Brad Taylor, along with Will Hill on your live bet Saturday, as we are watching the

big games in college basketball right now, kind of a little low here, Oklahoma 2114 over Texas. We do see the big one of the SEC Alabama is ahead of Auburn right now, but it is March. So this is a good time to get ready for baseball season at what better time to bring in a baseball guest than now. You can find him on Twitter at the Jay Casson. He is Jay Casson. Jay, how are you today, sir? Doing very well, guys. Thanks for having me on. Always a pleasure. He is a major league and college baseball analyst. I'm going to ask him about college later on, but we do have the world baseball classic going on right now. And the first thing I saw was Terrick Scooble give up a home run first pitch. First of all, how are you betting this world baseball classic? And second, how do I get out of all my futures on Scooble to win anything this year? Because obviously he's washed up. Yeah, obviously, when you can, anytime you can take any facts away from a one-start and

a world baseball classic about Terrick Scooble, you got to do it. Just fire everything by asking everything. But I still think that this USA team is the team to be in this tournament. Even in this game alone, guys, if you want to bet the USA, even though they're down on the run, all you have to do is lay a nice, easy minus 1800 on the money line. So you say to win this game. So I think that tells you that's a microcosm of how this tournament is going to go. Now, I would never go tell anyone to rush and bet minus 110, minus 115 on Team USA to win this tournament. For me, guys, it's Team Japan to win the tournament at three, four to one for a team that is the reigning champs. We all know how much the sport of baseball means to Japanese culture, these Japanese players. And, you know, they still have a guy named Shohei Otani on the team. That's kind of a big deal. So for me, I'm betting Team Japan, especially because they're on the other side of the bracket for Team USA. So as much as I like this team, I really bet another team like Japan now.

And then if and when we get to the final where Team USA is likely to be there, then I could just bet Team USA in that game and probably lay about the same price that you would get right now for them to win the tournament. Jake, I'm curious if ABS, the new automated system for calling balls and strikes, the challenge system factors in your handicapping. Boy, watching these games, it's going to be interesting where you get the high strike called by the letter of the law. It's a strike. Umpires wouldn't always give it. Do you think it's going to affect your handicapping? Maybe there's some value early on the season on pictures over strikeouts because the books maybe don't adjust for how much it helps the pictures. Have you thought about ABS and how it affects you betting baseball this season? I haven't thought about it that much. I think you're right. I think you're on the right track of it can help these, especially elite pitchers, talk about the tree scoobles of the world, the Paul schemes of the world, guys who know their strike zone. And when they challenge more likely than not, they're going to get that extra strike. But I think for me, when I'm betting strikeouts over the course of a season, I like the

guys who generate whiffs anyway. I'm not hoping a guy can nibble the corners and get all the strikeouts that way. I want the guys that are getting swinging misses. So in a hard to say because we're so early into this, even in spring training right now, the challenges are only coming through it about a 52% success rate. So I think it's hard to bake in. For me, it's not going to change much, especially because the guys that I'm betting and the guys that we should be betting for these big strikeout numbers, they're the guys that get swings and misses anyway. And that challenge isn't going away. We are in the middle of spring training right now. And of course, you know, you have some injuries in spring training like for the reds, the hunter green, maybe maybe an injury there that we don't know about just yet, but it could be one of those Tommy John things. Have you seen or heard anything in spring training that maybe could affect a win total you have on a team going forward this season? I think when you're talking about win totals and things that you're hearing in spring training, you want to look at some of these rookies, honestly, guys like Kevin McGonagall, who's been

a man on fire, like Denzel Denzel in the movie in 2001, like you want these guys who are going to come through in these and make the opening gay rosters that Kevin McGonagall's the Connor Griffins, guys like dad who are going to make immediate impact the Bryce Eldrige's of the world, then maybe you get an extra winner too in those win totals. So I think for me, I'm looking at teams like the Tigers because they have a couple prospects who are going to break opening day camp like McGonagall. I like the giants a little bit because of Eldrige. So it's guys like that where you want to see if they can get their young prospects to the show who can immediately have an impact. Jake, the team I'm really excited to watch this year, they'll be on late at night. You can pour a beverage and watch the A's hit the ball out of the ballpark in that tiny minor league facility. Great lineup. Small ballpark. Question I have them curious your thoughts. Can they pitch enough to go over 75 and a half? Can they pitch enough to maybe flirt with a wild card spot? Are they still more of a year away in a fun team to watch as opposed to being a playoff contender?

I think this is a year ahead for the Okone's. I think they're on the right track. I think this is going to be a team to bet on a game-to-game basis because there's still going to be times when you get, oh well, it's the Okone's and you just slap a number up there and their dogs and maybe they shouldn't be. Or maybe it's simply you bet the team total overs for them or maybe we just keep running the same things that simple as take the Nick curts overs because that guy is incredible. I think there's still a year away from being a playoff team, especially in that ballpark like you mentioned, but they're a fun team. They're a team that overs are going to be definitely a bet for me on a game-to-game basis and I think they can be scrappy on underdogs here and there where he can get some plus money bets down. Now I love Major League Baseball, I love betting win totals, but I am here in SEC Country, here in Kentucky and it is SEC Baseball and here's a microcosm of how difficult SEC Baseball is. The favorite to win the college World Series is LSU and plus 650.

They're not even the favorite to win the SEC regular season championship. That doesn't make any sense at all. Tell me about SEC Baseball, why it's so much different, I get it this weather and the location and everything, but how should I bet regular season games in college Baseball, especially the SEC, where it seems like even the best teams are going to lose like LSU, the favorite to win at all, they're not even going to win the conference. Yeah, and LSU, you mentioned them, they're the favorite as you mentioned, they've just lost back-to-back midweek games. This week and last week, they lost to no-name teams out of the middle of nowhere. So, that's just the wackiness of college Baseball, but you're right. In the SEC alone, we've seen five of the last seven champions come from the SEC. It's not to be cliche, it just means more for Baseball in the SEC. Okay. And of course, it's part of it is the weather and you get these kids out of Florida and out of Texas and they go to their hometown schools, but you're right. I think more often than not, you're looking at one of these SEC teams.

I'll give you one, guys, that I still think is ridiculously mispriced. You can still get Texas at 14, 15 to 1. And all they've done is just throw every single team that they've faced through a wood shipper. This Texas team is a machine, their rotation is elite, their lineup is elite. They have one of, if not the best managers in the country with Jim Schloss-Negel. I love this Texas team. I think they should be priced like LSU and they're not. And I think you're getting a ton of hashtag value on this Texas team right now. I'll give it even another one because it doesn't even have to be correlated to win the SEC. And when the college world series, guys, I think Auburn had a giant price to win the SEC. You can still get them at about 18, 20 to 1. That lineup can hit with anybody as long as the rotation is just okay. They'll be able to keep pace. I think they're a lot closer to these top tier SEC teams. And so at a big price, it could age really well for them to win the conference. I don't have these in Connecticut, but I believe a lot of books do offer odds to make the college world series

where maybe you don't think the team can actually win it all, but you think maybe one of these mid majors can actually get to Omaha. When I describe that, is there a team that jumps to mind where maybe they can get there, even if they're not capable of winning it? Yeah, I've looked at this market a couple of times and there is one team that has jumped out to me. It's UC Santa Barbara led by Jackson Flora in their rotation. He's probably going to be one of the top arms off the board in the upcoming Major League baseball draft. And UCSB is one of those mid majors where year in and year out, they are in the tournament. They're in the conversation. They win a couple of games in the tournament and they just can't seem to get over that hump. But now I think they have an elite talent on the mound that can win you the first game. And then you just got to win one more in a region. So I think UCSB, they're a big price. You can get them in that 15 to one range to make it to Omaha as well. That's really fun, especially because we know once you get to a field of 64, you just need a couple things to break your way. I think they definitely have the talent and they have an elite player on the mound.

And I think that's a good equation for them to possibly make a run to Omaha. Jake, I've got one free bet. Major League baseball, college baseball doesn't matter what it is. Help me go to the window. What is your best bet? Future Major League baseball prop anything you want to bet. What would be your best bet for the coming baseball season? College or Major League? I still, I'll go back to what I said with Texas. I think that they are seriously mispriced. I think in that mid teams range to win the college world series between Ruger Rojas, their Friday night starter, Dylan Volantis, their Sunday night starter, who has been unbelievable as a sophomore. And that lineup just doesn't quit. They have a good batch transfers who have lived up to expectations and exceeded expectations so far. I really like this team. It's a bounce back year for them guys. They were a disappointment after being the top overall team in the tournament last year. They flamed out. Couldn't even win their region. I think they have a chip on their shoulder this year. I really love the Texas Longhorns to win the college world series this year.

You can find them on Twitter at the Jake Hassan, that is H-A-S-A-N, the Jake Hassan. He is as good as it gets when it comes to college and major league baseball. Jake, thanks so much for joining us and go cast some tickets for us this season, will you? I'm sure you're going to try, guys. Have a good one. Thanks, Jake. Great job. Jake Hassan, make sure to check him out on the the substacks too. He's got some college baseball stuff there going forward. Yeah, the college baseball thing is really becoming a little bit bigger. Do you bet a lot of college baseball will? I know up in the Northeast, it's not as big as it is down here in the South. But is that a big thing for you? No, I like to just tell a couple of futures. Once you get to the college baseball, like the regionals, Omaha, those are fun to bet. And it's actually turned into an under fest because it's a very picture friendly park and the bats are not as explosive. But it's just they start the season up against college basketball. There's only so many hours in the day. You only get one set of eyeballs. I wish I had more time to watch it and bet it, but it's not marked if that well either.

This is live fed Saturday on Vs and these sports betting in work. From the mid gaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky, right above the circus sports book, it's live bit Saturday. I'm Brad Taylor, along with Will Hill. We are watching these games going on. We've got a conference tournament that's already underway. The final game that up in Evansville, Indiana and boy, they're off to a big scoring start. Tennessee State of 13 to 7 on more head state at the first media time out here. So there you go, Will, already we see a big high scoring game at a conference tournament final, basically blowing everything out of the water that we said beforehand live betting line here at Tennessee State, eight nine and a half point live betting favorite in the live betting line on the total one forty nine and a half. So that's basically where it started when it opened, but it was bet down to one forty three and a half. Your thoughts on a conference tournament final in the OVC between Tennessee State and more hit. Yeah, these kids didn't get the memo that conference championship games are supposed to be tight

to start in low scoring and they're supposed to be under. So nobody told these kids, maybe if you wanted to bet the under and you missed the best number, maybe now is the time to jump in. So I can understand that. But look, the pace sometimes just doesn't cooperate with the total and that's a big part. Obviously, of a betting these totals, I haven't checked the box score to see if it's more hot shooting, if it's more pace, or if it's a combination of the two, one game I have my eye on, you know, we watched the end of LSU, A&M triple overtime and it went right into Texas and Oklahoma. Another thing that's very key for totals, talked just about a pace in shooting fouls. They are blowing the whistle nonstop in this Oklahoma Texas game. Both teams are already in a double bonus about four and a half minutes to go in the first half. Let's see here, if draft Kings offers a first half line. So it's 30 all, 60 points have been scored, first half total 75 and a half. I would lean towards the over just because both teams are in a double bonus. And if this foul calling continues, if they're going to call it the same way, I would look at a second half over because, I mean, you know this Brad, when you bet in these totals

and they blow that whistle in the clock stops and you can add points to the scoreboard, that's just that's a recipe for disaster for an under better. And that is just music to your ears to hear that whistle as an over better. So a very active whistle, Texas, Oklahoma, they're calling it tight. I would bet accordingly and look at either the first half over 75 and a half or the full game over here at, let's see what we got 156 and a half. I look either one of those are both over right now, a tie game, Texas, a five and a half point live favorite. Yeah, that was a 154 and a half was the pre flop was a pre tip off a total in that one. Six and a half is where it was where it closed, Texas being favored. Oklahoma was one of my favorite bets of the night, getting those six and a half points. So yeah, I'm watching that game. Also watching Alabama stick it to Auburn right now, number 16 Alabama is a 35 to 21 on Auburn right now and Bruce Pearl has to be rolling in his grave.

So to speak, make it 37, 21 now live betting line, Alabama, 16, a half point live betting favorite, 177 and a half, your total, is this the end of Auburn basketball as we know it with Steven Pearls, then to Bruce Pearl, are they going to make the tournament even so they can face my evil, Ohio. Are we sure we need 68 teams in the tournament? I mean, I guess we do because we want to watch the games and bet the games. And the bracket, I guess, just fits better, although 64 was was pretty good in the Tuesday, Wednesday, those playing games. Look, I like having them on. I like watching them. I like betting them. So the more the mayor, but man, this year more than ever, it just you're really stretching to get teams in the tournament. So whoever gets snubbed, whoever gets left out on selection Sunday, I do not want to hear you crying and complaining to Reese Davis. This is the weakest bubble I can remember. Auburn won win in February, March not starting out much better for them. Boy, I don't know how you're going to get to 68 teams. Miami, Ohio, I'd be shocked if they didn't get in after the undefeated regular season

with how bad everybody else is. And it's just, you know, back these bubble teams at your own peril. And boy, the market really, really loved Auburn. This got bet from eight and a half last night to five and a half in a long way to go. Obviously, but it does not seem the sharp move. Quote, unquote, was the right move. But we talked about this game earlier this show. I had every, well, all of my lovely little systems loved Auburn, loved them to death. But I wasn't getting enough points. I needed a little bit more excuse me than the six and a half that I was getting. So yeah, I'm glad that I stuck kind of stick to your gun. So to speak, I have to have the analytics and the systems. I can't just have one. Right. Oh, well, I like this one. So I like it. It's because I like the cut of its gym. So I'm going to take that one just to make sure that Bruce Pearl gets his come up. And I apologize for that cough there. But yeah, as we're looking forward now in that game, 37, 21, that's a game where Auburn.

Yeah, they're going to need some wins next week in the SEC tournament to make this NCAA tournament to say the least. So that's a game to keep an eye on here. Texas now up 33 to 30 on Oklahoma. That's another SEC game going on right now. We talked about earlier, anything else you're getting your eye on? Because yeah, we saw that conference tournament with the OVC. Man, Tennessee State is where 1345 to go. We're six minutes into this first half. It's 20 to 9 Tennessee State must have heard all this stuff about nobody scores in these conference championship games. Live betting total 151 and a half. Live betting total of the live point spread 13 and a half to Tennessee State here over more head. Anything you're seeing right now, Will. No, just one of the sickest alley you ever going to see in this Texas game, a lob pass in a one handed catch and all in one motion dunk. I couldn't see who the Texas player was. You're going to see that play on the highlights here. If you watch one of any of the highlight shows, which I do not, maybe you'll see it on Twitter.

But that's about as good an alley you, but you're ever going to see man. What I imagine how much fun that would be to do all of these athletes, whether you throw them all 100 miles an hour baseball or you could throw a touchdown pass in football. Just being able to dunk a basketball like that and catch an alley, that's got to be just so cool, so much fun for, for those gifted enough to do it. Look back to the conference title game under trend, just because it's an under trend in a profitable one, when we say profitable, you know, 53%, 54%, I think you were mentioning one that's 59%, that's really good. Nothing's 100%. You just, you can't bet this under and say, all right, I bet the under, it's a good trend. When do I get paid? They're going to lose. They're not going to win all the time. So it's important to keep that in mind, just because it's a profitable trend or system whatever you believe, nothing's 100% as you know, Brad. Oh, yeah, and when I talk about these on my local show at Lexington, Kentucky, if you hit three out of five, oh, that was, that was terrible. That was awful. Oh, yeah. You hit 60%. Yeah. They don't talk about the winners.

They only talk about the losers. I can probably say that when it comes to this stuff like this, but well, there's a game that's starting at the top of the hour that I need to talk about with you and we talk about it all the time on this show. Give us your tired, your poor, your weak, give us the teams that have no chance. The number two team in America is Arizona. Everybody has them as a number one seat. Everybody has them as one of the great chances to win this NCAA tournament. But tonight they're going to Colorado final game of the regular season. They open a 17 to half point favorite did Arizona at Colorado. Now they are only a 13 and a half point favorite total still the same. Well, it opened 155 and a half and now up to 156 and a half. I like Colorado here. Give me your tired, your poor, your weak, how come 74% of the tickets, 88% of the money is on Arizona to win this game and cover this point spread yet this line keeps dropping.

I got it this morning, a 14 and a half and I feel like I didn't get the best of it, but I got better than I got now. I would still take it a 13 half. I'm taking Colorado tonight in Arizona, baiting the top teams of the AP polls, something we love to do. Am I crazy? Am I lost it? Or are you going to join me on this Colorado? I guess the Arizona. That's always been typically a very tough place to play. Obviously not their strongest team and not a good Colorado team this year. I would only lead towards the dog. I don't know about the motivation for Arizona, probably looking ahead to the big 12 tournament or the big dance this time of the year. Are they really ultra motivated to go out and win this game by 20 or they just go through the motion and say, all right, we can go out there and we can win by 8 or 10 or by 12. We don't really need to push ourselves, even if that's sort of a subconscious thing. It's ugly. It's not pretty, but I know you love these ugly dogs, so it would be dog or pass. I ultimately passed before we go to the break though. Hopefully people jumped in on that live over Texas and Oklahoma 3934 Texas is at the line.

So if you jumped in on that first half over, that was a good one here trying to make up for that Duke, which was just an awful beat at the end when they're up 25. It didn't cover. We're 40 to 34 with a minute 38 left. All we need is one more bucket and we should be good. So after Duke today, Charleston Southern yesterday, I'm not counting my money, but at least on the right side of it so far. And again, a lot of fouls in this game. If they're going to call this game this tight and blow the whistle this off and any live over should be good here as a lot of contact here, no call, but Oklahoma the other way. And we're still we're still waiting to get that winning bucket, but on the right side of it so far. Yeah, good call by you on that one. And you like Jimmy Ficaro talked about with the trends, you know, he says trends don't pay the mortgage, but sometimes if you could use the systems with a little bit of analytics and a little bit of bed exploits, maybe you could pay the utilities. So that's the kind of the way I kind of see it and buy it with other stuff, not just the systems, but break some other stuff in, but yeah, we got a lot of college basketball

coming up tonight. There's some more games on the schedule for tonight, power five variety that we will look at from a handicapping perspective as we see, yeah, Texas, excuse me, Oklahoma at the line. Yeah, it's 40 to 35 now. That just hit your over there will 26 10 Tennessee state over more head state, the championship game, loser league town winner goes to the tournament. We'll have all the college basketball scores and live betting line since coming up next right here in V.C. The sports betting network. This is live fed Saturday on V.S. and these sports betting in work. Circus sports book. I have Brad Taylor along with Will Hill here in your live bet Saturday as we're watching these college basketball games, but will I have breaking news from the NFL world?

Deck press got the quarterback of the cowboys. He has broken up with his fiance during their joint bachelor and bachelor at parties and the Bahamas this weekend and they were set to get married in April. The reason probably the deck was getting too close to a ring eight and a half wins for the cowboys this year over or under. I'll go over. I thought the defense was a little better second half of the year. I am a press caught defender as a Minnesota Viking fan. I would love to have deck press caught on my team. I don't know that I've had a quarterback who's good as him in the 30 or so years. I've watched football. I had far for a year, but to me, Deck, you put him with McVeigh in the Rams or Kyle Shanahan or a team that's not dysfunctional like Jerry Jones. He's not my homes or Allen. He's not one of the three or four best quarterbacks. But when he finished second MVP a few years ago, he's one of the five or six press quarterbacks. Maybe that's up seven, something like that. To me, he's really good people will make the ring jokes. You just took your shot at him.

I get it, but training to the Vikings. Come on. I need a quarterback, but it's sad to see it. True love is always something I root for. I know you feel the same way. So heartbroken to see that those two broke up. Is that what you want to me to say? He didn't, he got to play the jokes. Well, come on, man. God, I don't know how hard I got to work here. I, Deck Press got broke up with his fiance because he was getting too close to a ring. I got it. I got it. That's the joke. Yes. It was. It was. Yeah. There's crickets in here. That's all I heard for that one. Let's go back to college basketball before I get gonged off the show here. Alabama 4529 up on Auburn here. Why did Auburn even show up in this game? It feels like right now live bedding line here. Alabama only a 14 and a half point favorite. So the odds makers are telling you it looks like Auburn will make something of a comeback. Total 173 and a half. The other SEC game going on right now is Oklahoma and Texas.

We are at halftime there. Texas up by four 40 to 36 live bedding line. Exactly what it was this morning, seven and a half or the long hordes 157 and a half is your total. Either one of these SEC games float your boat here will. Not really. I would say if I had to bet anything out of those two games, it would still be the over Texas, Oklahoma first half over squeaked by even though we got it like two minutes to go and then the next two minutes were very quiet. But if they're going to blow the whistle like they did in the first half and it's going to be this foul happy. This foul happy. You're going to see a lot of free throws, the clock stopping points get added to that scoreboard. So fouls are good for you. Fouls are your friend when you bet the over refs cone it tight. I would I would look for the same in the second half as far as Auburn Alabama Alabama's got such swings in their games with all their three point variance. Maybe it's a spot to jump in on Auburn, but I don't I don't want to catch a falling knife. They just have not played well. The market loved them today. They're not playing well again. So I will I will sit this one out and maybe start to get involved some more of these conference

tournament games as you look at the board here, Brad. It's such a great feeling because it's 933 here on the east coast, usually, all right things are starting to wind down. You still have a ton of games left to tip off UCLA USC just underway, Georgia Southern coast of Carolina in the Sunbelt, underway, but you've got Sac State and Idaho Air Force Nevada, Texas Tech BYU. You've got about nine or 10 games still left in conference tournament games. So buckle up, get some coffee, get get get a beverage and just catch up on some sleep another time because you're going to lose an hour tonight anyway. And it's March, we'll rest in April. There's going to be a lot of basketball tonight and there's a lot of basketball this weekend in the coming weeks, which is great. I am going to Vegas the last week of March. I'm coming back on Sunday, March the 29th and I've told anybody who needs anything for me between now and then, hey, just get me that week, get me after I come back from Vegas

on the 29th because between now and then I am hustling, whether it's doing radio, whether it's bent on these games, whether it's traveling to the desert, yeah, I'm hustling for the next few weeks. So yeah, it's going to be it's a great time to say the least. Let's talk about one game though that is coming up, not a conference tournament game, but it's a big 10 game, Washington and Oregon here in this one. Oregon starts out a point and a half favorite here, excuse me, Washington started out a point and a half favorite here, but we've seen it flip to Oregon, the ducks now, Dana Altman. This is his time of year, historically, but I don't know if he has the team this year to even qualify for tournaments. Oregon now can set this one and a half point favorite. It doesn't have it as a pick right now. Washington is one of my best bets here tonight, getting the point and a half at Oregon. Your thoughts on Washington, Oregon, big 10 coming up after our show about 11 o'clock Easter. Yeah, another one of these very late tip offs. You said it well. Altman is a bet on coach, very good tournament coach typically, but it's not a tournament

and this is far from his best team. I guess, I don't know, the NLL money goes to the football team and they don't have money left over for players in basketball. I guess maybe that's part of it. Although with film, you figure they got money for everything, but it would be a lean towards Washington. Washington's into me is the better team and you're getting the point and a half. I know it's on the road, but end of a long season is Oregon really going to have a good home crowd tonight. Are they really going to be, you know, a deafening atmosphere there in Eugene, probably not. I would lean towards Washington, not going to play it, but I do like your pick there with the Huskies. Yeah, that was one of my favorites of the night. Like you say, the analytics say Washington's a better team and they did start out as the favorite here. So yeah, Washington, one of my best bets of the night going to Oregon and I hate betting against Altman because there have been years that he was had lousy teams in Oregon, yet they would go to the Pac-12 tournament and just run rough shot over the Pac-12 tournament. That's how good a coach he was in March. Are there any conference tournament gates? There's so many out here. The West Coast conferences, the Summit League, they're all playing tonight.

Big Sky conference games, are there anything that's kind of catching your eye in all these numerous games with teams that we don't really kind of pay attention to the regular season, but what's we get to the conference tournaments? Everybody's for a fair game to say the least. Queens looks like they're about to move to the Atlantic sun final. I wish I kept an eye on that because they're up 11 with 120, 40 go. This would be a perfect foul scenario in the last few minutes. So I'd imagine you get a bunch of cheap garbage points at the end here. Now a 10-point game with 123 to go and Queens is a team. I think they were four to one to win this tournament. I hit them last year at 50 to one to win this tournament. They won their first game and they were up in the semis, 10 points, up by 10 with like six or seven minutes to go, couldn't finish it, lost it over time, would have been able to hedge and name a nice little profit in the final. Nothing, I'm still bitter a year later, but Queens destined for the A-Sun final barring a Charleston Southern like collapse, big sky, nothing underway, CAA, William and Mary Leeds, Elon, Horizon, nothing underway, Mac, we've got Sienna up 14 over Mount St. Mary's

and then in the Ohio Valley, Tennessee State, all over, more head doubling them up, 17 and a half point life favorite, 156 and a half is the total, 36 18, still seven and a half minutes left. So Tennessee State, Brad, looks like they are headed to the big dance and I believe we had one ticket cash today, Long Island, basically by default. I don't think they won their conference tournament, but they won the semis and the team they're playing. I think it's Mercy, Erson, the final, just moved from D2 so they're not eligible. So LAU is in the final and the way it's going, I know it's early Tennessee State, looks like they will be punching their ticket to the dance as well. By the way, we do have odds on a couple of conference tournaments to talk about. The ACC odds are up, Duke minus 350 to with the ACC, Duke or the field, the second favorite is Virginia 8 to 1, Louisville 9 to 1, everybody else 20 to 1 or more. Duke or the field, who do you got, Will? It's properly priced.

I mean, at what point, and I do didn't cover today, boy, they just look good 10, 12 points better than just about everyone at some point. It's fun to talk about these long shots and have them in your account and just to have the dream of cash in a 15, 20, 30 to 1. But at the end of the day, maybe Duke doesn't care in the tournament and you can get some value, but Carolina doesn't have Caleb Wilson is Virginia going to knock them off. I think that's properly priced. I just think Duke is head and shoulders above everyone else. Not that I want to lay 350, but that's one I might stay away from. Yeah, I can't lay 350 to conference tournament. And Duke obviously is the best team of the ACC. There's no question about that, but I'm not laying 350 in a conference tournament. I don't care who it is and who they're playing. But yeah, it is March, but we're baseball season is right around the corner.

And down that stretch they come here from the mid gaming hall and Franklin Kentucky right above the circus sports book. I am Brad Taylor along with Will Hill. This is live that Saturday. We thank you so much for joining us all evening long and we have been watching these games like crazy. The Duke North Carolina game was a very emotional game for most of us here on the set. But we do have some games going on right now. Alabama of 15 to 31 on Auburn at the half here live bedding line in this one is Alabama. And 18 and a half point favorite here total 171 and a half. We're just started the second half with Oklahoma and Texas 40 to 36 there Texas winning seven

a half your live Texas is the live bedding favorite 158 and a half your total there. And of course the conference tournament final between more head and Tennessee state in the OVC a scoring fast so far but 45 28 Tennessee state is up live bedding line there. Tennessee state 14 and a half point favorite 161 and a half your total. Will have you caught your eye with anything there or anything else in these conference tournaments which are so numerous to mention outside of the final game in the OVC anything catching your eye right now. I think it was last week we were on the air when it was Florida Arkansas and Florida was just scoring it will and they were on pace for around 100 their team total was like 96 and a half 97 and a half and I made the point these teams when they get close to 100 when they can sniff 100 in the games out of reach usually they put the foot on the gas and they tend to go for the 100 and then it's kind of a landmark a target score where they can feel good about scoring 100 whatever it

is I would feel the same about BAM a 50 at the half I don't see any reason they you know turn down the pace and they stop shooting threes I think they'll be close to 100 close enough where they go for it so BAM a team total over would would do one I would look at. Especially against arrival this is Auburn Alabama I mean this is not like you know they're just playing some random team this is Auburn Alabama so yeah that's a good point there before we get to our best bets there is one conference tournament future I wanted to bring up with you will and I even mentioned it to a great hoop speeder said earlier the show the Mac tournament starts next week and there's no real advantage there you don't the one C doesn't get any bites it's just you're just playing it out Akron is your favorite minus one 15 to win this tournament Miami-Vohio is plus one 90 now wait a minute Miami not only beat Akron order this season they're undefeated is it really value on Miami-Vohio or should we lay the chalk with Akron here because I'll be

honest with you if I had to bet either one of those I would lay minus one 15 with Akron in the Mac tournament your thoughts will boy odds on so I know the tournament format does not do any favorites to its regular season champ I believe it's just one verse eight two verse seven three verse six four verse five was so when you went undefeated like Miami-O-Hier or you were dead last and you went win list that's it you got to win three games in three days and there's no advantage which I don't like it reward your regular season champ make the regular season mean something that being said I don't want to lay odds on I know Miami-O-Hier has skated by here and they just continue to dance between the raindrops I really thought I don't know if you watched the game last night I thought the kid was going to hit the floater at the end of regulation for the kid on Ohio yeah and win the game in regulation by two and then I thought that three was going to bank in it just kind of rimmed out you didn't have the right angle for it so they continue to to avoid these losses I probably just take the plus price in Miami-O-Hier and then get to a title game and figure it out from there I'm not sure I'm gonna bet it but I don't want to leave the minus price with

accurate so you said what Akron's minus one fifteen what's Miami-O-Hier? Yes yes Miami-O-Hier plus one ninety and Greg was saying I have it done the rest of the team a two to one I'll be the sucker yeah twist my arm yeah I don't want you to just pull my arm out I'll suck it there twist my arm on that one yeah I still would take Akron I think Greg was telling us earlier they're playing this game up in towards Cleveland in the the Akron area so there may be a little bit closer advantage there but I don't think that that's you know the deal breaker for me but still if you look at the Ken Palm numbers Miami's uh Miami-O-Hier was number was better two months ago than it is now now you could say strength of schedule but they're playing better teams in the Mac than they were playing in the pre-conference schedule so yeah it's it's crazy but I think you you've got a good bet and if Miami gets to the tournament six eleven watch this that sixteen be somebody like a Kentucky a blue blood or somebody that's really good maybe down on their luck is more than a little more than usual that six eleven gave so that the committee can say hey look here we're not going to let

you get past yeah you had your undefeated season we're not going to you're going to go one and out in this tournament that's how we're going to say it let's get to our best bets tonight well although we have one last thing on that go ahead yeah I would just say man I know the committee usually is not very favorable to the little guy I think back to a game you'll remember Wichita State was undefeated congrats on being undefeated here's Kentucky your bracket and every other blue blood and have a nice time I enjoy your offseason they try to get them out of there what did Miami Ohio especially if they go into the tournament undefeated boy if they ever won their first game they go for being a really good story to now it's like a great story can they make the sweet sixteen so I actually I'm not sure the committee is going to send Miami Ohio to their death I think it's a good story and the longer you keep it alive I think they're actually good for ratings even though they're they're not a blue blood and one team I've seen that matched up with I don't know if you've seen this and it'd be fun Miami vs Miami Miami Miami Florida vs Miami Ohio the right to to be named Miami I guess because Miami Ohio in that ten line Miami Florida on the seven line that would be fun Miami vs Miami I've

seen that one projected a few different spots half win in the tournament for Miami of Ohio over under will I'm saying under under under there'll be a dog in the first game under I would say the under would be like a minus 200 favorite right I totally agree with that if let's go to our best bets for the yeah yeah probably right let's go to our best bets for the rest of the night the games going on after I've got three of them I love the unranked trap here BYU laying two and a half against Texas Tech we talked about all these games earlier in the show watching to get a point a half against Oregon the best team was the biggest wrong team favorite well watching it was favorite at the very beginning I'll take Washington there getting the point half in Oregon and give me your tired your poor your week give me Colorado getting 13.5 now it's 14.5 this morning I will take the Colorado Buffalo's getting the points at Arizona will your best bets for tonight anything going for I'll play a little over 158 and a half Texas Tech BYU I don't disagree on the

side there but I think this will be a game with a lot of pace not a lot of defense BYU they can score they don't really defend so I'll go over there and I pick I've been talking about Dominican Republic to win the world baseball classic the value has come down a little bit but you could still get just under four to one I still think that's better they won their first game last night they're a machine on offense they'll be a fun team to root for and I know it's the US as the favorite it's the US to lose I get that but I think the Dominican with their lineup and with their bullpen are are still undervalued just under four to one so over BYU Texas Tech and then I'll take the Dominican to win the WBC I should have taken the over this OVC championship game Tennessee states already got half a hundred up there they got 50 that's like Alabama they're gonna be looking for a hundred and that one yeah I think that's more than two thirds of my total but that's okay Oklahoma's cover and then we're good all right well we're coming down to the end here what did we learn on this show today did we learn anything in the last four hours looking at these games and

trying to find some winners yes all but four teams have been eliminated in terms of winning the national championship the national champion will either be Florida Duke Arizona or Michigan Yukon you can forget it freezing cold takes me if I'm wrong I'm wrong I got a future on them so you know I would love to be wrong to be to be quite honest but I think the one of the one of the four is going to win it I would not be surprised if we see all four one season the final four again it's a very top heavy chalk heavy tournament and I would be surprised if not shocked if anyone other than the big four is holding up the trophy a month or so from now I will ask you one more time three and a half number one sees to make the final four over or under come on with the I mean if it's just even money if you're giving me even money I have to go under just because the math of it it's basically a 16 team parlay because you got to win four games to get to the final four multiplied by four teams so I got to go 16 and oh to go over for that reason I have to go

under but I'll be fascinated and I do think books will post this prop last year it was a little over 18 to one I remember which you think wow all the one seeds that's chalky well over 18 to one there's nothing chalky about plus 1850 if you could give me 10 to 1 12 to 1 something that for all the ones to make it I will be borrowing money cutting and lying to bet that I think it's going to be another top heavy chalk dominating tournament real quick lorda number one seed Yukon number two seed in the same region probably and that would be a very juicy elite matchup the last three national titles combined four to one last year Yukon won the two before they played in the tournament last year you can never count Yukon out as ugly as that was today Yukon damn your upset him last year and probably should have so yes I would think those two are in the same bracket but with the way Yukon's playing and how inconsistent they are and let's they have another gear I'm not sure Yukon sees the elite at this point will I always love doing this show I always enjoy it thank you so much and for your expert wisdom let's catch some more tickets the rest of the night and I'll see you next
