commitment. This is live bet Sunday on vSAN, the sports betting network. Back you're on live bet Sunday. I'm Scott Saddenberg with you on vSAN, the sports betting network. You guys can hit me up on Twitter at scots on air, hit us all up on the network. At vSAN live, we have lots of action in progress right now. NBA college hoops, the NHL, World Baseball Classic, and plenty more to get to. Let's get you caught up with other games that are about to tip off here in the NBA. We have two games tipping off momentarily. The magic at the box Orlando right now is a six point favorite. We'll get to the latest line here. Any late line moves on this game Orlando up to six and a half actually here at circa. The board is lighting up as we are moments away from tip off some money coming in on Orlando as they are now a six and a half point favorite and then Houston and San Antonio will be tipping off momentarily where San Antonio is a five and a half point favorite. Total is on the move though.
It is now down to or up to I should say 223 here at circa. It was now this is interesting because it was on the open 233 233 and a half. It went down to 222 and now here at circa it is back up to 223 as we're a couple of minutes away from tip off of these two games here in the NBA coming up a little bit later on. It is Charlotte at Phoenix and the Hornets are four and a half point favorites here at circa. You have Indiana at Portland where the Blazers are nine and a half point favorites and then Chicago against Sacramento where the Bulls are a four point favorite as the board is lighting up here on that game as well. Chicago was a three and a half point favorite. Now Chicago moves to a four point favorite here at circa. So the screen lighting up with some late action here on the NBA in progress right now. It is all heat over the pistons end of the third quarter there in Miami. 103 80 the heat over the Detroit pistons. The Raptors speaking
of dominating the Dallas Mavericks. They are in the fourth quarter Raptors lead 101 to 80 over Dallas and they are five minutes left to go in the first half. Pelicans a 54 52 lead over the wizards. We're monitoring college basketball action in the conference tournaments. Top 25 teams are all done for the day. There is one ticket to the big dance that will be punched here tonight and that is going to be the championship of the summit league. The championship game of the summit league and that is coming up about an hour from now in North Dakota and North Dakota State where North Dakota State is an 11 and a half point favorite in progress right now. One game that is close is the semi-final of the Mac where there's 11 seconds remaining and Merrimack leads Marist 58 to 57 and another close game with still 13 minutes left in the Socon semi-final UNC Greensboro a 43 41 lead over Furman. But let's see how this plays out here.
Merrimack and Marist with 11 seconds left. Merrimack closed as a two and a half to three point favorite in this game. So two and a half to three point favorites. Now they have a one point lead with under four seconds remaining now on the clock. So maybe some free throws could help them get to the the cover point here. But let's see how it plays out. If this game if we're going to see some point scored or if this one's going to a final here with the looks like it's a final Merrimack 58 57. So Merrimack gets the win. Marist gets the cover and Merrimack will advance the championship of the Mac tournament as that game has gone final 35 seconds left in the first round game in the Southland tournament New Orleans a 73 60 lead over Houston Christian. On the ice we are into the first interim. We're into the start of the second period now with the red wings
having one nothing lead over the New Jersey devil. Third period action the black hawks and stars are tied at two and in the second intermission the lightning and sabers are tied at four high scoring affair there. We have two games still to come later on this evening. Top of the hour will be the ducks hosting the blues where Anaheim is I believe they are now minus the line might have moved on them. Let's see minus 166 is the best line that's or minus 168 here at circa minus 175 mostly at the online books. I was waiting for kind of the gold tender announcement in this game. Let's see if we have an update from the blues. Nope still unconfirmed as to whether or not we'll see we'll see Bennington or Joel Huffer in this game for the St. Louis Blues and still no official announcement on the duck side whether it's going to be Lucas Dostal or not in net. It is likely to be Dostal and likely to be Joel Huffer and if that's the case I do like Anaheim. Anaheim
has been the best over team in the NHL this season but it hasn't always been because of their scoring like yes they score a ton of goals their offense is great but they're also just allowing too many chances on defense that's why I thought the acquisition of John Carlson at the trade deadline was a big move here for the Anaheim ducks but this season they have been the best over team to bet in the NHL and the total for tonight's game is at six and a half and it is minus 115 to the under right now between the ducks and the blues so let's just give you these updated numbers here on the ducks this year they are well now they're not the best now they have dropped down to third best because the Oilers have been on this run we're going to talk about them in a second 38 and 24 to the over this year for the Anaheim ducks the Oilers are 37 23 and 3 to the over this
year so yes one more over for the ducks but one fewer under so that's why that kind of number just kind of changed a little bit there the Montreal Canadians though have now overtaken them as the best over team in the NHL 39 21 and 2 to the over for the Montreal Canadians Canadians did not play here on Sunday but let's see they should be in action here nope not on Monday let's see Tuesday the Canadians will host the Maple Leafs that could be an over way to look there but I mentioned the Edmonton Oilers who are right there with the ducks and the Canadians as the best over teams in hockey 37 23 and 3 to the over this season they take on the golden nights tonight here in Vegas and it's one of my best bets on the NHL slate today I'm going over six and a half between the nights and the Oilers that number right now is at six and a half minus 145 here at Circa
the Oilers have been an over machine and kind of like the run that the Wild have been on except or the Wild were on earlier this year except here's the thing it's not like the Oilers let's look at this one of overs by the way it has been 1 2 3 4 5 6 straight overs nope and a push 7 and a push 8 9 10 they are 10 0 and 2 to the over in their last 12 games 10 0 and 2 to the over in their last 12 games in those 12 games in 10 of those 12 games the opposing team has scored at least four goals in 10 of the last 12 games for the Edmonton Oilers the opposing team has scored at least four goals
since the Olympic break since they returned from the Olympic break they have played five games the Edmonton Oilers have those five games have all gone over so they are 5 and 0 to the over in four of those five games they have allowed at least four goals from the opposition the only game that they didn't was when they blew out the Kings 8 to 1 and that game went over they lose 6 3 on Friday to the Hurricanes they had a 5 4 win over the Senators on Tuesday last week they lost 5 4 to the Sharks last Saturday they had that 8 1 win as I mentioned against the Kings last Thursday and then the Wednesday prior to that their first game after the Olympic break a 6 5 lost to the ducks 4 of their last 5 games since the Olympic break they have allowed the opposition to score 4 goals at least they are 5 and 0 to the over since the break 10 0 and 2 to the over in their last 12
games and in 10 of those 12 games the opposing team has scored 4 or more goals total tonight is 6 and a half again it is juiced minus 145 to the over between the Golden Knights and the Edmonton Oilers but you can also look towards the Vegas Golden Knights team total to go over 3 and a half at minus 110 and again in four of the last 5 games the Edmonton Oilers opponents have scored 4 goals in 10 of the last 12 games the Edmonton Oilers opponents have scored 4 goals this team is giving up way too many chances their goal tending has not even come close to being up to snuff and there's a again they can score they can score but there's a more more of a reason why this team is going over is not just because of their offense and by the way speaking of offense 5 on 5
situations this year the Vegas Golden Knights fifth in the league in expected goal percentage the Edmonton Oilers seventh in the league in expected goal percentage expected goals against let's see this season the Edmonton Oilers the sixth most expected goals against in the NHL this year it's just it's unbelievable unbelievable I'm Scott Saddenberg always on Twitter at Scott's on air SCOTTS O-N-A-I-R coming up we're going to get back into the NBA in about 20 minutes or so from now Alex Barutha senior NBA editor for Roto Wire will join us on the program we'll get his take on the games for tonight as well as take a look at the schedule for tomorrow in the association we will get you caught up on the games that are about to tip off here in the NBA and update the college basketball scoreboard as well this is live bet Sunday right here on v-sign the sports betting network

Vegas cold the night and the Edmonton oilors to go over six and a half goals and as a second bet in that game it would be the biggest gold the night's team total to go over three and a half goals in the last 12 games the Edmonton oilors have allowed in the last 12 games they've allowed four or more goals in ten of them in ten of them and in the last five games since the Olympic break they are five and out to the over and in four of those last five they have allowed four plus goals now that to me signals a team that's giving up way too many opportunities that's not getting good goal tending yes they can score which is why a lot of these games are going over but they are allowing just a ton of goals as well five and out to the over since the Olympic break in four of those five they've allowed four plus goals ten oh and two to the over in their last 12 games in ten of those games they've allowed four plus goals so Vegas gold the night's team total over
three and a half goals and just the full game to go over six and a half as well updating you on what's going on here on the ice with some of the games that are in progress right now uh they're going to the third period with the lightning and the sabers tied at four they're in the third period where the stars have a three two lead over the black cocks they were down two to one they scored twice here in the third period to take a three to two lead uh and then you have the red wings who have opened up a two nothing lead over the New Jersey Devils in this second period two games still to come as I mentioned the Vegas game uh over the golden nights and the blues take on the anaheim ducks so we'll keep an eye on that here uh as we get closer and closer to those games uh in college basketball as we punch tickets to the big dance we do have another ticket on the line coming up here tonight the summit league championship game and that is between North
Dakota and North Dakota state when North Dakota state is an 11 and a half point favorite a games in progress right now uh looks like Troy is going to get a win here over southern mist in the semi finals of the sun belt they lead 72 to 63 with under a minute to go seven and change to go in the semi finals of the socon where Furman has a 56-55 lead over UNC Greensboro and in this one let's see UNC Greensboro closed as a five and a half to six and a half point dog so Furman five and a half to six and a half point favorites in a battle right now with UNC Greensboro and this is actually a comeback effort by Furman because UNC Greensboro led by a 11 at the half 38 to 27 but Furman has surged back here in the second half still 753 to go here in that game and first half winding down big sky championship second round action where Portland state and Idaho state are tied at 36 West Coast Conference tournament action here in Las Vegas
we'll tip off about 20 minutes from now or about 15 minutes from now the quarter finals San Francisco with three and a half point favorite against Oregon state later on tonight it'll be Pacific and Santa Clara with Santa Clara a nine and a half point favorite i was talking during the break with my producer John and we were kicking around the idea of or at least the discussion where some people have issues with the way that automatic bids have been handed out here in the NCAA tournament process where you could have a a team that dominates their regular season that plays throughout the entire of their regular season like let's look at look at a team like Navy okay we just watch them we just watch Navy lose on a buzzer beater to Boston University in the semi finals of the Patriot League okay Navy was a team that would have been into the conference tournament they would have been into the NCAA tournament with a win the favorites to
win that tournament now they're probably not gonna get in to the NCAA tournament they went 17 and one in the regular season in the Patriot League 17 and one the best team by far in that conference and they're not going to the NCAA tournament because they lost on a buzzer beater in the semi finals of their conference tournament now some people think that this system is wrong i'm i'm indifferent because i do think that the regular season needs to be rewarded but oftentimes in these conference tournaments the regular season is rewarded like look at the West Coast Conference tournament bracket the number one and number two seeds in the conference are automatically in the semi finals most of these small conference tournaments these one
bid bid leagues have that where you're automatically advancing i know the major conference tournaments like you're automatically advancing to like the the quarter finals here but in some of these you know lower conference tournaments you're you're in the semi finals already now navy got the buy right away into the quarter finals in the Patriot League they won their quarter final game against Bucknell and then they lose on a buzzer beater here in the semi final and now they are not going to the NCAA tournament so how do you fix this i i'm not you can't give out two bids you can't because some of these leagues do not deserve two bids so you can't just say hey this team wins the regular season title congratulations they're in the NCAA tournament and the tournament winner goes on to win now you can eliminate the tournaments entirely and just say the winner of the regular season is the team you know like the Ivy League does like that's the team that goes
to the NCAA tournament just eliminate the conference tournaments i love the conference tournaments i don't want to get rid of the conference tournaments my solution would be kind of like a two a two part thing i think the regular season champ needs to be rewarded more meaning you want to put them instead of the instead of the the automatic buy into the quarter finals just put them into the semi finals i'm okay with that or you want to just put them into the championship game that's great although they're gonna like have like a week off of basketball i don't know if you want that but okay you want to put them automatically in the championship game i'm all for it how about this for a radical idea though like now we're getting crazy okay what if by virtue of winning your regular season conference championship your reward is you have to lose twice in the conference tournament so think about this scenario you win your conference regular season
your reward is you're the number one seed in the conference tournament great but if you lose whether it's in the quarter finals the semi finals or the championship game anytime you lose you will then get to play again against the winner of the championship game you have to lose twice in order to be eliminated from the conference tournament now i think we that solve was kind of the issue of a one bid league right where and then we talked about all the time like the bid stealers wouldn't that kind of eliminate the bid stealing even though bid stealing is kind of like the most fun part about cut the college basketball right like listen i don't want to change anything right now but it's a lot of fun when we have a one bid league that has an upset in the conference tournament and then all of a sudden two teams get in like that's fun and then one of these bubble teams gets left out all right you're out i'm
sorry but maybe to eliminate the bid stealing like instead of expanding the NCAA tournament which they're talking about doing like from 68 they want to go 72 instead of expanding the tournament let's just get rid of bid stealing and say the conference regular season winner has to lose twice in their conference tournament giving them a better chance to win that conference tournament if they just win it anyway they just win the conference tournament anyway congratulations they're in but like imagine if they lose the championship game and then it's like hey they get to play again tomorrow let's run it back or if they lose in the quarter final and now they have to wait and see who they're going to play in like the championship let i play i play competitive adult softball right and in the way that our tournaments bracket work right it's double elimination there's an if game where whoever's in the king seat right like if you you win the winners bracket you go to the championship game that the first game is the championship game if you win you're the
champ whoever's in the king seat the undefeated team that winner the winners bracket and then if the team from the losers bracket wins then you have to play the if game well maybe that's how we solve this the bid stealing in college basketball is just add an if game for the conference regular season champion interesting well if you're going to bet on college groups guys now is the time to get your edge right now you can get visin pro access through may first for just 29 99 with our hoops mania special visin pro gives you daily best bets real time betting splits from draft kings and circa ai powered prop tools and full access to every visin show on demand you'll also get our march mania betting guide packed with team breakdowns betting trends future strategies and picks from visin's top analysts if you're planning on betting college groups visin pro gives you a real edge sign up now at visin dot com slash subscribe this is live bet sunday here on visin
this is live bet sunday on visin the sports betting network back your own live bet sunday i'm scat satimer gone visin the sports betting network as we turn our attention back to the nba where we add some of the at the evening games get underway uh... the san antonio spurs have jumped out to a twenty four eighteen lead over the rockets our betting that game is fading kevin direct we're going under his twenty three and a half points prop the rent has four points in this first quarter no more sit down please uh... and then also the magic with a seventeen nine lead over the bucks with under three minutes to go in that first quarter they're at the half into warlands pelicans lead at the wizards sixty seven to sixty five it is a final in my amy a valiant fourth quarter effort by the pistons offer not they still lose one twenty one to one ten to my amy and then earlier we had the raptors a one twenty two ninety two out of the mavericks lakers snap their losing skin as a dog they had lost twelve straight games
against the spread as a dog they beat the next one ten to ninety seven and the first game of day the Celtics a one on nine ninety eight win over the Cleveland Cavaliers joining us now in the progressive guest line to talk more nba basketball is alex bertha senior nba editor for roto wire joins me scott said bird right here on live bet sunday alex thanks so much for giving us a couple of minutes and let's talk about some of the results that happened earlier today here on sunday and i want to start with that seltics win over the Cleveland Cavaliers as the seltics have overtaken the cadets as the odds the betting favorites to win the eastern conference now that you've seen Jason Tatum back in the fold is Boston truly the team to beat in your mind in the eastern conference i think they should be i mean i've been a little hesitant to say that especially before we saw a item right but uh... before that i was like well you know the next in the Cavaliers i kind of need to see it to believe it with Boston and i was relatively low on them i think like a lot of people coming into the season they've proven me wrong joe musula jalen brown basically everybody
in that roster and in that organization uh... but yeah i think at this point honestly i trust them more than than the pistons i you know the pistons at forty five and seventeen at the top of the conference i i don't think it's a hot take to say like i don't like the roster to get to the mba finals um i just trust Boston a lot more from not only a talent standpoint but like a game plan standpoint the the offensive consistency i think is better and they're also a great defensive team uh... like Boston but yeah Tatum you know take us out shake the rust off um he does look a little slow at times hasn't you know shot particularly well but i in general the fact that he's out there playing twenty seven minutes at the air like twenty seven minutes and this game against the calves i mean it's just a huge positive and and they can give them up to thirty five minutes hugging into the postseason like why not why not make the finals yeah absolutely uh joe musula has been so impressive as a coach i mean it is now it is a system it's not a player it is a system because they've proven it without Jason Tatum all season long they've still put up the numbers that they put up last season so it's been absolutely incredible to watch uh... also earlier
the lakers they snapped their uh... streak of losses as an underdog they lost twelve straight straight up and against the spread as an underdog they beat the next as five point dogs one ten to ninety seven they did it without lebron james and i i said this earlier in the program out so i'm curious your thoughts on this when lebron got announced out the nicks went from three and a half point favorites to five point favorites i actually think that that was the wrong move with lebron not playing the nicks should have gone from three and a half point favorites to two and a half point favorites because the lakers have been net two points better without lebron james this season yeah i mean i i think what the thing that we're pointing to is this lebron and luca and often reed led lakers team is they don't have a problem on offense like their problem is on defense right so when when lebron is not out there they are going to naturally throw in more guys who are defenders like how do more is going to be out there his defense can come and go but like mark a smart and vander bill's going to be out there more and um so yeah i mean i think there are a
number of teams in the league where you know you they have like so much offense that you take one of those offensive players off the court and it's probably not as big of a disadvantage as you would think because what they really need is defense so yeah i mean i it's hard for me to say like i i don't think lebron james is generally a positive player at this point i mean what he's doing at age 41 is incredible but uh certainly i think you know it what they need is defense and he's he is not providing it at this point lakers are now nine and two this year when luca and austin rives play and lebron james doesn't so something to keep an eye on uh when we get those injury reports with the lakers moving forward let's talk about a couple of games uh that are in progress right now as well as the games that are coming up here later on tonight one game in progress right now first quarter action about three minutes left from the first quarter of the spurs a 26 23 lead over the rocket san antonio was a five and a half point favorite coming into this game how i mean what's your thoughts here on san antonio because no one's been better over the last
month or so than the spurs throughout the forty six and seventeen on the season i mean this team is a legit threat in my opinion and they are in everybody's opinions in the western conference and you know coming into this game it was spurs or pass for me here against the houston rockets yeah and i think i mean in particular this game you know the rocket there there's such an interior basketball team but then you go up against victor rumbanyama who's up essentially the best player in the paint in the mba i'm both under the cord and it's like well it's gonna be tough to deal with that uh but yeah this first i mean look uh victor rumbanyama is that good sometimes he watch him and it feels like he should be more dominant i guess attacking the rim offensively but i think he is that he should be the defensive player of the year he is just altering the basketball court thing away on defense that we've just never seen before and i think it's kind of getting underrated somehow despite his team being forty six and seventeen and you know i i i think they are also kind of being underrated because deer and fox isn't having the greatest season right his numbers are pretty much down across the board siphon castle i i didn't expect siphon
castle to handle this much offensive workload you know sort of at the expense of deer and fox but you know deer and fox basically last season and and i've more like two seasons ago on the beam team with with sack or meadow you think about that team was a pretty good team with him as the clear number one option maybe you want to say sivonis where i would say fox and then sivonis and now you have him as the number two option right i think he's more in a in the right packing order um on on the san franconeo team and yeah i they have a they have enough talent on both ends of the court another team that's extremely well-coached where they feel i had a schedule but this happens sometimes especially with a great player it's been tremendous to watch uh for this team now if we look at um let's see um tonight we have the charlotte hornets laying four and a half at the phoenix sons charlotte's been another team that has a lot of fun to watch i mean i have a bet on them to make the playoff so i'm hoping that they can you know maybe get themselves into the
the the the the the higher part of that playing round like if they can get the the eight seed in this way you know if they lose that first playing game they get a second playing game we'll see what happens there uh but right now i i think that the hornets are a team that i want to be betting on and certainly not betting against but what do you think about them in this game coming up here against the suns tonight i i have a little surprise they are four and a half point favorites on the road going into phoenix but i know you got phoenixes banged up right they they lost mark Williams for a few weeks so they're starting to get the oro uh Dylan Brooks is still out for them and i i i think it's nice that they have devin booker back obviously and jaylen green's been able to stay healthy but they've sort of lost their identity along the way like early in the season this team is grinding out wins defensively one of the best defenses of the mba and booker was sort of carrying them offensively now they're defensive against set because Dylan Brooks something is the fantastic defender especially on the wing which is so important and you know mark Williams was playing like twenty twenty two minutes of game as they sort of managed his workload
but still a really impact player when your backup options are osuated oro and like common mull watch um but yeah i mean again this this orange team has been so impressive so i'm i'm not i mean you can't be that surprised other favorites um in this situation because they're one of the best rebounding teams the mba they get up a ton of three-pointers frame and billar i think it's having a really underrated season there's like you know lamentable for the longest time is this guy's losing player doesn't take basketball seriously maybe those first those are valid but now i mean he's certainly uh continuing to win basketball team so i think i think i think they can even make noise uh to some extent in the eastern conference last 15 games in the mba the spurs with the best net rating in the mba at thirteen point four the charlatte hornets the second best net rating at ten point four again charlatte is uh a four and a half point road favorite here tonight in phoenix uh we got about a minute left alex uh a couple of more games tonight any thoughts on pastures blazers or bulls kings i know bulls kings is an ugly game but hey
all tickets cash the same right yeah bulls kings i there were there were two player props in that game josh giddy uh over twenty four and a half points plus assists i think your ball handlers playmakers just have a easy time against the soccer bow kings they don't have a large point of attack guys don't play happy they don't really provide much resistance defensively and then pressure to chew a over nine and a half rebounds against the bulls bulls have been terrible rebounding team lately they're banged up front um and pressure to chew has just been a monster on the glass recently yeah it's gonna be again they all cash the same right so we have to find ways to get at it here for these uh terrible tanking teams like the tank remento kings as uh i like to call them hey alex man great stuff as always continued success and good luck with your bets here awesome thanks for having me there he is alex bertha senior nba writer over at roto wire doing a great job here uh give out some good props there for that game um i actually do like a couple of props beyond josh giddy uh i did go with a russell westbrook rebound prop now that line is kind of
moved if you can still get over three and a half rebounds that would be the way to go it is juiced though that game is going to get started in about twenty minutes or so the king's hosting the chicago bulls i'm scat saddenberg always on twitter at scat's on air and at vc live live bit someday rolls on here on vc in the sports betting network here's a shift worth noting better health care is care that meets patients where they are united health group is bringing it directly to living rooms this is a win for patients managing chronic conditions and here's the interesting thing by closing those care gaps administering in-home exams and identifying risks earlier more diseases can be prevented and patient outcomes can improve in twenty twenty five alone united health group patients received over 19 million home visits learn more at united health group dot com slash commitment to tip off this nba season on

Kevin Durant does have ten points victor when banyama has eight points taking a look at the live line here for that game and the rockets uh... here spurs excuse me who closed as five and a half point favorites they are currently five and a half point favorites on the live line again uh... rockets within thirty three thirty two lead as they are early on here in the second quarter so continue to monitor this as the spurs have just taken lead so thirty four thirty three live line exactly where it was before the game started spurs minus five and a half games uh... coming up at the top of the hour pastures and blazers portland nine and a half point favorites and then the bulls four and a half point favorites over the kings again those games coming up at the top of the hour and then a little bit later on this evening it'll be the phoenix suns hosting the Charlotte Hornets where i did go ahead and lay
four and a half with the Charlotte Hornets and i read those advanced stats last segment in the last fifteen games the number one net rating team in the NBA's the san antonio spurs at thirteen point four the number two net rating team in the NBA over the last fifteen games the Charlotte Hornets ten point four we isolate this now to the last ten games the Charlotte Hornets number one thirteen point five net rating over the last ten games the number one in the NBA and then the And the spurs number two at 12.8 again, that is the net rating over the last 10 games. So and net rating is basically your offensive efficiency, your offensive rating, your defensive rating, how many points you score, how many points you allow per 100 possessions. And that's how you get your net rating here in the NBA and as a great measure of how good a team is and how good a team is going to continue to perform. So I am on the Charlotte Hornets tonight going into Phoenix against the suns.
All right, let's keep an eye on what's going on here as we have some college basketball conference tournament action. And these are in the smaller conference tournaments. We do have a bid that is on the line here tonight, a bid to the big dance that is going to be crowned in the summit league championship. But the so con semi final is coming down to the wire here. There's 12 seconds remaining and we have an upset brewing as Furman has a 77 75 lead over UNC Greensboro and Furman closed, I believe they were a five and a half point dog. Yep, no Furman was a five and a half point favorite, excuse me, six and a half here at Cerca actually. So little different here in the in the markets, but so Furman actually some no potentially upset if we can get if UNC Greensboro pulls something off here, but Furman now making a free throw up 78 to 75 and that is the semi final here of the so con tournament.
There is a second round action of the big sky Idaho state and Portland state, Portland state with a 46 40 lead with 15 minutes to go in that game and they are underway here in Vegas. San Francisco in early 13 five lead over Oregon State West Coast Conference quarter finals also underway in the CAA championship quarter finals, Hofstra 13, nine early lead over William and Mary, five minutes into the Southland first ground game between Nichols and Northwestern state. They're tied at five, Sienna a 16 13 lead over Fairfield early on in the Mac semi final and then I mentioned that bid that is on the line tonight coming up at the top of the hour summit league championship game North Dakota, North Dakota state, North Dakota state and 11 and a half point favorite, let's see if that line has moved here is we're a moment away from tip off 11 here at Circa 11 and a half at some online books, I actually see a 10 and a half on the board, which is interesting, but it looks like 11 point favorites
for North Dakota state here at Circa. The total has been interesting because I wanted to bet the under, well, I missed the boat here because this opened at 149. It then immediately goes down to 147, 147 and a half. Earlier this morning, I guess, you know, respected groups respected better is getting on these things. It goes from 147 and a half down to 145 and at that point, I'm thinking, well, obviously I missed the boat here. I don't want to be on this as it's down to 145, but then over the last couple of hours we've seen it tick back up from 145 back to 147 and a half. So think about this. Circa owns, I'm going to give you the timeline here, Circa opened at 149 and literally minutes after the open, it got hit to a point where they adjusted immediately.
They immediately adjusted to 147. They then got hit to the point where it goes down to 145. It stays at 145 all day until this afternoon, it goes down to 143 and a half. So think about the under money that they took here at Circa for this line to go down to 143 and a half. And now think about what has happened since that line got down to 143 and a half at about 2, 230 Pacific time here this afternoon to then get bet back up to 147 and a half. Honestly, to me, there's just too many conflicting signals for this game. I just, I'm staying away. Like I said, I was initially on the under to see the market move in my favor or not in my, I mean, like in my favor, meaning on my side, I just missed the boat and lost the
number. Like I had the right read on this game, but then I saw it get bet back up and now I'm like, I don't know what to think. So to me, the best course of action here is to just say thanks, but no thanks. Maybe there's a live betting opportunity to get in on this game again, that is a championship game in the summit league between North Dakota and North Dakota state. Here's what's on the line coming up on Monday. In championship games will have the championship of the sun belt, the championship of the so con. We will also have let's see the that's it. Those are the only two championship games that we should have here on Monday as more tickets to the big dance have been punched earlier today. We had a big stolen in the Patriot league where Navy who went 17 and one in the conference this year loses on a buzzer beater to Boston University in the semifinal of the Patriot
league tournament. And so Navy now is not go well, this actually never mind, it's not a big stolen because Navy is not just not going to get into the NCAA tournament. A big stolen would be like, if Navy was going to get into the NCAA tournament. And then another team winds up getting in. Like a big stolen would be like if a team not named Gonzaga or St. Mary's or whatever wins the West Coast conference. If Pacific or someone goes on to win that had no chance to get into the NCAA tournament and they wind up winning the West Coast conference, that is a big stolen because that's now an extra team that has to get into the NCAA tournament out of a conference that was maybe only going to get two teams, maybe three teams like Santa Clara could get in as a third
team. But like, let's say, as I mentioned, let's say a team like Pacific won that conference. Well, that's a big stolen. This was just a big stolen from one team to the other team. Like the Patriot league is a one big league. But now the winner of the Patriot league is not going to be Navy who dominated the Patriot league regular season going 17 and one. I offered the solution up on Twitter and naturally everyone's against it. But that's okay. I'm trying to think outside the box here. I'm trying to be radical. And I thought, hey, why don't we just add an if game? How fun is that? How fun is that? We add an if game. Meaning, if you win your regular season, you win the regular season in your conference. You have to lose twice in your conference tournament. That is your reward for winning the regular season. We add an if game to the conference tournament. Now if you go on and win the conference tournament, then we don't even need to play the if game.
That's why it's called an if game because it's if necessary. Now let's say you lose in the quarter finals or semi finals or you lose in the championship game because you won the regular season title, you get to play again. It's essentially the same thing as me saying, I'm going to pain the regular season champion against the conference champion for the right against the tournament champion, excuse me, for the right to get that bid. So if the same team wins them both, it's irrelevant to moot point. Congratulations, you're representing the conference in the NCAA tournament. But if you have a different team, you get to play again to the side. I think it's a win win for everybody.
