Raheem, let's start with you. And let's start with this Houston Illinois game. It just concluded. Good times, except for Houston, they scored 55 points. If you would have had Houston as the lowest scoring team today, what does that pay? Like 10 to 1? Probably. It's well up to 1 somewhere in that. I know you like them. It plus 700 to win the whole thing. You don't like them anymore, do you? Yeah, I don't like them anymore. I mean, just watching this team. I checked the bot score at halftime. They were shooting 27%. It was just a brick fest out there. I have just never seen anything like that. I just feel so bad for Kevin Samson. Like, yeah, just what do you do? Yeah. Recruit a better team that can make four shots. I mean, last year, last year was their team. That was their best team, by far, the best shot making they had. Yep. And they had the title in their hands and they watched the last minute. They have no post-presidents.

Like, they have no Johan Roberts. They have nobody they really can go to when they're not making shots. They kind of like saved them. And that's what the problem with this Houston team this year. They're just like, if they're not making shots, they have no safety valve. And they don't have that, they have no justice. Well, like, you know, I'm the NBA guy. But just watching this offense, it just didn't feel very sophisticated. It felt like you got the guy. But that's a Samson team in general. Like they're not always running like very sophisticated sets. Like you want some more ball movement, some like a little bit more creation. And I just saw kids then framing out there trying to do different things. And it's just like it feels like if they can't score an isolation, they can't score. And 22 for 64 is not going to get it done in any of these games, right? Right. And then you add to it like we were watching and you know, these games, okay, you're down 12. We saw a 12 point margins overcome in this kind of game. 12 points was like a 13 possession. That was half of a half. Yeah. You only had 22 in the first half. And Illinois tried to give them a chance, you know what I mean? That was the other part of it. I missed four free throws down the stretch there. Yeah. They got it to nine. Houston had a chance to get the rebound.

They've fumbled it and then Illinois hits back to back three. It's games over. All right. So we're being close your eyes for a second. The bundle high five here. We did it. What fist bump we did? Illinois. Illinois. And we do. Illinois. The whole thing we do. This is the rare time that they beat me this year. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't happen much. Yeah. I look over him. Like why are you betting against us? This is the no pass line again. Again, he's doing it to us. But yeah, you're right. This is one of the very few times. It worked out for us. You know what's going to happen now, right? Illinois. What are they five point favorites against Iowa? So five points against Iowa. We said, Iowa 45 to one to win the title, by the way. Yeah. Halfway there. Should we talk about that game now? Iowa and Nebraska. I didn't have high hopes for that. You know, we talked about. All right. The winner of this game. I think Illinois was plus 240 to win the final four before today. Houston was plus 105. Just take that team. Is that you still feel the same after watching that Iowa Nebraska game? Take that. Illinois is going to win. It does feel like Brad Underwood. You know, he's been kind of knocking on the door to get through. And now he goes up against an Iowa team.

He's going to be a heavy favorite. A lot of pressure on the Illinois team. Also a team that they have faced in the big 10. They know very well. Very familiar. And there's no pressure on Iowa. And it does feel like one of those games where Illinois don't get too high. Because this is a classic game where Bid McCollum could do a master class coaching job. And I would be very concerned just about that angle. That angle, but obviously Illinois is a much better team. We said this was basically a de facto elite eight game. Whoever won Houston or Illinois should have a clear path to the final four. But I would be a big concern that we're going to go too hard in that direction. And that gives Iowa a good chance. Interesting. Okay. And that gives them a good chance. I'm looking at Bennett Sturts. It was garbage despite the fact that they. It's not played great in the tournament. It's been bad. Oh, there's 20 points. It's nice. You need that from him to win seven. Not efficient. No. 71. So what was your takeaway from this game? This was one of those games where the underdog came back. You know, there were only a couple point underdog. But they were down what 10 or 12 at least in Nebraska. They were down 12 early. I don't know if you saw. My advice is for Nebraska to have all five players on the court.

Yeah, they only have four. They only have four. Yeah. It was actually confused by that as well. Which is not good. Tough. I mean, we like McCollum. We think he's a great coach. They play a style that could make them a good upset potential. But the difference in firepower between Illinois and Iowa is very, very big. Yeah. Illinois has probably four of the five, maybe five of the six best scores in the game. Yep. So it feels very uphill. But again, we've seen Illinois go bozo before. Yeah. Well, four and a half point favorite could lose easily. Yeah. As we've seen. Well, it's up to six and a half at this point. Is it real? And there's going to be a lot of weight. Wow. Yeah. What were you impressed at all with Iowa's game today? Where they came back? Well, I mean, I was impressed with just the offenses in that game. I mean, the first half, both teams were shooting 60%. That was fun. It just felt like nobody would miss. And in the second half, I mean, obviously Iowa, they fought their way back. And Nebraska cooled off. But I mean, I think, you know, to be able to slow down a team that's been shooting 60% in the first half, I think you got to get credit to Iowa.

Yeah, 13 for 38 from three. Nebraska was couldn't get back in. But yeah, great job by Iowa. My god, Tate. How did they do it? Well, I mean, it's one of those things where Iowa just kind of had to hang around because Nebraska was so hot from the start, especially from the outside. That's what they do. And the 13 for 38's a little bit warped because they took like what? One possession into the game like five different three. I wasn't hard on them. It was very strange. They were just letting them launch and they kept missing over and over and over again. They went one for 10 in the last four minutes of the game. Yeah. All right. So the blowout. We'll get to the good game. The blowout. Another blowout. Arizona 109 88 over Arkansas. I said to Raheem, I said, Raheem, if you could have got, if I would have told you this morning, Arkansas is going to score 88 points and you were getting seven and a half, eight and a half. How much would you have put on it? And he started listing all his, all his houses, all his houses. Yeah, right. A lot of real estate. It was a really old house. Yes, yes. I would have definitely had Arkansas. And it sucks a little bit tape because Acuff is out now and we're running out of, well, we're running out of marquee players for the average fan who we want to stay interested in this tournament.

Well, I think Braden Burries is the new, you know, they, they just kind of swapped over and they moved over. They bill was texting about Braden Burries. So that's good that he's moved on from Acuff. That's a, that's a big win there. And this Arizona team, honestly, has been so incredible throughout the entire season. I mean, their two losses are very explainable losses. And, you know, one is at Allen Field House, which is an impossible place on a Monday night. Nobody wins there. Nobody wins there. Nobody wins there. So they're all kind of right off games. And when you watch Arizona here, you kind of see just how they beat you in waves. And like every single time that Arkansas had a highlight moment where you're like, okay, this might swing Uncle Mo in the right direction for Arkansas. They just answer immediately. And there's no real time for you to kind of get your footing and feel like you're in the game. And I think it's a special quality. And, you know, Tommy Lloyd's is a lot swirling about him, potentially going to North Carolina, and all these different things that are going on. But this team is focused. They have a singular focus. And I think this is a very, very good Arizona team. And I feel like Michigan's going to respond to what Arizona did. We were talking to Bundo and I about like Michigan's probably seeing that and saying,

that's the kind of game statement game we want to send. You heard them say that. Yeah. We're listening. We were tapped in. You don't know. It's a dusty man. I'm like, dusty. Do you see this game? But yeah, Tommy Lloyd's Arizona team just really impressive. And tonight they look like the best team in the country. All right. Yeah. I mean, I came into the tournament feeling like there was a top three. We've gone back and forth on who the best of the three might be. Duke Michigan, Arizona. Arkansas and Alabama are a very similar teams. They profile the same. They like to run. They like to play fast. They got the lead guard who's going to be in the NBA. Right. Who, you know, the NBA people. A cup. They love them. A cup. Five on. Everybody gets excited. Yeah. And it was just layout lines. They could throw dumpins to the bigs. Yep. They were throwing all the ups to each other back and forth. Blocking shots. Color Pete. A walk. Yeah. Barys 23. Color Pete. 21. I had him. What did I say? 15 plus for Color Pete. So that one. Those are two freshmen that the NBA guys can get behind. When Barys is making three is two. And forget it.

I mean, they are. But like this. They are the best team in the country. Was that the best ass kicking. Raheem in the tournament based on. One good team beat. A great team beating. A good team. Oh, yeah. By far. It never felt like a game. Right. I mean, you're watching it. And it's like. Arons are doing good things. But I mean, it's still a double digit deficit. So at the end of the day, it's just like they just had nothing for them. And it's like. The thing I find interesting is that you're looking at the national championship. And Arizona's plus 260. Wow. How do you guys feel about that? I mean, I was Michigan. I mean, Michigan is plus 340. You still have a game. There's a way. I win them all. Yeah. It's plus 380. Right. So Michigan came in today as the favorite slice. I'll. I'll. Over those teams. So even Vegas is confused as to who's the best. Don't say. Don't. Fandals. Yeah. Yeah. But what's happening here? We're all trying to figure it out. And I think the fascinating part. And we were talking about this. It's like Duke has such a great draw because they basically get to, you know, juggernaut programs. I don't have to. Someone's going to have to die along the way. And then they're going to get kind of a team that got beat up by another great team.

And they. To me, I feel like Duke has the best odds because of that. Really? Okay. I mean, Arizona just looks on beat. I mean, really? You're right. It was like, it was 16-11. And I'm like, oh, Arkansas can't hang with this pace. And then I'm like, oh, but this is Arkansas. This is how they have to do it. And they're like, I think when we talk about Alabama, too. And we'll get into Alabama, Michigan. Alabama only plays one speed. And you'd almost rather a team come in and say, like, maybe we can get them in the half court and try to win that way. Because you're just running into into brick walls at the rim. I mean, they're Michigan is so big. Yeah. It's not a great matchup. And eight-cuff with 28. You would have taken that. Yeah. I mean, you got a lot of garbage. You saw that line. You're like, man, eight-cuff at 28. They probably had a chance. You saw the ton of points. Yeah. They were getting a ton of points. And they got beat by that. They never had a chance of covering it. Yeah. Our friend Eli was talking. He's like, oh, should I lie, bet Arkansas? I was like, no, dude. Every time he lied, bet Arkansas plus 30. Yeah. Yeah, no kidding. Then they could have like a three-flagor in technical fows in the last five minutes, too.

All right. So the best game of the night, I'm a terrible host. So I didn't lead with that. But it's Purdue winning 79-77 over Texas. Texas would not go away. It was a close game at half. Texas took the lead at one point. They were making threes when they needed to. They were shooting out of their minds. And then Purdue played defense. The right guys fouled out. Were you less impressed with Purdue? You kind of thought, Tate, that this would be a double-digit game. I know I did. Yeah, I thought Texas showed a lot of this game. And I think honestly, you know, Texas defense was a little bit better than you would suspect. And Purdue, the physicality of Texas kind of got under them a little bit. And Cam Heidi, who was a former Purdue guy, had a nice kind of back and forth with Trey Kaufman-Rin in that game TKR. And that was also a fascinating kind of game within the game there. And this Purdue team, I was impressed that they were able to find a way to win this game. I was sort of excited about the idea of Sean Miller with Texas, a guy who was at Arizona that could never make the final four. Going up against Arizona in the elite eight, going for the final four.

That had been a great storyline. But yeah, Purdue just found a way. Matt Painter, again, just gets it done. And I know Harry hates to hear that. The friend Harry hates it a lot. He keeps moving the goalposts. Yeah, we don't understand. Get to the final four, and we'll talk. What did Matt Painter do? He's got a pro. He had a seven-foot pro. Harry, you don't see him here, right? But what your lawyer, honestly, has been such a swing factor for this team. Like, when you have Fletcher lawyer who can hit from the outside, he's turned into a sort of a specialist for them, even though he can do more things and just hit threes. But he was the real difference maker set the tone of this game. Obviously, they weren't hot from the outside. But to win without shooting well, that's a nice thing to have in your back pocket. I actually think I learned a lot about Purdue and like what I learned about Purdue. Because they shot 58% from three in the first two rounds. That was not going to continue. Not even close. Could Purdue win if they didn't make their threes? They had a great offensive game overall. 1.3 points per possession is a very good offensive game. And they only made four threes. They were four for 20 from deep.

Texas reigning threes all night. And they still held on. That's an impressive win. It's also good to be tested, you know. Going up against Arizona. Well, different beats. Maybe a bit of an issue, yeah. I mean, you got a bunch of Traymon marks on that team. What did Mark have? 29? Another one, like a great player. Yeah. That puts up a giant number. What was your impression of that game, Marine? Yeah, I think Traymon marks. I mean, he did everything that you could ask a star player to do. He used to transfer every single shot. I think watching that game, it felt like Texas should have won. A little bit. You look at Purdue. They go four for 20 from three. Good. And if you look at Texas, they lost this game by two, but they missed seven free throws. Yep. And, you know, my ties. I can't pronounce his last name. I'm not even going to cry. Vokititis. But it takes me getting so much mileage out of that nickname. I love the Vokititis. Is it the Vokitititis? Yeah, the sandwich. Yeah. Tate, would you shoot today on the go? But they had it. 71. They have a low park. I mean, if you look at Texas, I think it was two minutes to go, three minutes to go. Yeah. They had a chance to go up to.

Yeah. And modest misses two, two free throws. And they never have the lead again for the rest of that game. And I think that once Purdue got the lead in the last three minutes of the game, it just felt like it was theirs. And they were never going to relinquish control. But I felt like Texas was the better team today. Well, Purdue did foul up three. Like we were saying. They did. And one. Yeah. I've had a lot of dumb teams. I really did. Vokititis. Vokititis. Versus Kloff. That was an old school matchup. Those guys were throwing haymakers. And obviously like Vokititis being so tired because we didn't even have a timeout or any stoppage in the game until the 11 minute. Yeah, that was nuts. You know what I mean? Like he was worn out. It felt like for the rest of the game. He fought hard. But I think that kind of led to the free throws that you're talking about. So little things in the game. And then the fact that he was in foul trouble for big parts in that second half. And I think that allowed Purdue to really stay in the game. They don't like it. They could get any. I feel like Texas was going to just take over this game and win. And you know, one other thing I want to add is that. Texas didn't have a big in at the end of the game.

No, tipping. And I think that's what cost them. Yep. Trakeoff and Red. Interesting. Yeah. You found all those guys out or put them in trouble. For sure. Survivor pools. Survivor events. Yeah. By the way, that's off though to Texas. So that was four games in seven nights. Right. I had to play the play-in that I get there. So they're trying to be the third team to go from the first four to the final four. Right. And the first two. VCU. Go. 2011. Yeah. 2021. You see what I mean when I say he knows everything. You see it like the best free throw defense in college basketball history. All right. Don't try to overshot. And I just said I was the best. Free throw defense. Yeah. Alabama mission. Everybody missed all their free throws. That whole tournament. It was amazing. Let's do these. Friday games. The big one. The marquee matchup. Duke six and a half. Over St. John's. They're big favorite. The ticket price has gone down for that. No. They're gone up. Joe House said he was going to try to get someone to invite him to the game. I don't know. We need an update on that. We got money that Joe House knows. Joe House. Get in the game. He'll get there.

He'll get a personal invite. He'll be in the suite. Oh yeah. Can I. Do I sound like an A-hole when I say? I don't want to say I lost respect for Patino. I must be the only idiot on the planet. That sees what St. John's did against Kansas. Now, grant that they should have won. They had the big lead and everything. But the way they actually won. Given it to Rudy approaches the coach. This hard headed coach who doesn't take. It's a Disney movie. Chip from anybody. Right. And it's like, I want the ball. And you're like, okay, but you haven't made a shot. I'll give you. It's like, no, I'm taking the ball. Gary Cole is Rick Patino. Yeah. I'm not turning around to hear your answer either. I'm going in there. I know I averaged seven a game. I know I'm going to have to. Beat the best player in college basketball to the rim. But I'm doing it. And he does it. It's like, well, I gave the kid a chance. For that reason alone, I think Duke's going to cover. Yeah. I think Duke is. This is going to be a tough game for St. John's. I am trying to talk myself into the ways that St. John's can make this a game. I do think Dylan Mitchell versus Cam Boosler is going to be a great storyline in this game. I think Rick Patino is going to try to do a lot of different things.

Whether he doubles Boosler on the catch, doubles Boosler, you know. Different, different points parts of the game. Like he doesn't start doubling him. Whatever it is. And honestly, Boosler has handled double teams better than anybody. I think he's going to pick him up full court sometimes. I think there's going to be a lot of little things that he tries to do to throw him off his spot. And, you know, Cam Boosler is the backup point guard now because obviously Caleb Foster is out. So that's another wrinkle in this game. But it is one of those games where I think Duke is flipped the switch against TCU in the last 15 minutes. That was like the Duke team that we've seen all season long. So I do think that that's going to just continue on until the final. Could Johnny's press them? Though they will. Yeah. They will. I mean, Katie Boosler getting pressed by them will be the real story. Yeah. And if Cam Boosler has to bring the ball up and initiate and get pressed, he's shown some moments where he can get flustered in that. So like that will be sort of a storyline there. But I do think that Duke will handle this team. Two losses by a combined four points. Duke, that now that doesn't help you lay the six and a half. But this might.

Non-conference losses for St. John's Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, all by more than seven points. I'm taking them. I might be spiteful. God, I wish I could just sit back and watch this. I'm so many decades removed from sitting back and watching a great game without having any money on it, Raheem. I'll never get back. But you don't have to bet a side. I mean, fortunately, a partner is that Fandall. Yeah. They allow you to bet props. They allow you to bet totals. Right. I mean, you can even bet the next basket. What? Really? Yeah. This is a pro. We'll tell you some books. You can bet fake games now. You saw that. Yeah. There's a lot of fake games being bet. I'm laying the six and a half. You're doing something a little more courageous. What do you got? Yeah. I'm going to go first half under 66 and a half. I mean, you got top two top 10 defenses. And you've seen steam to the under on the full game total. But I mean, I know you watching those games tonight, you're probably scared to go under because I mean, some of the offensive. I was going to ask. How many of the first half unders? Well, there it is. I mean, Illinois, Houston had to be an under. That was.

Yeah. Yeah, that was on. I mean, three and one to the overtime. We got to address this. What's going on with Houston teams with good defenses and bad offices? Right. You see what the Houston. Oh, interesting. Yeah. You see it with the Houston right? What's in the water in Houston? I don't know. Houston, we have a problem. I will say Houston Astros last year. Excellent defense. Struggle to score. Wow. All right. Maybe they should hold a clinic or something. I don't know. Hit us more on the other. So under first half? Yeah, under first half. I like first half under 66 and a half. Like I said, you got two top 10. I see it. 33, 27, dude. I don't think you're going to get a lot of offices. And you already mentioned cable posters out. So I like this one. I think you get a slow start. I'm with you. Both that court. I think struggle offensively in this game. I like the full game under. We talked about a Monday and then Wednesday. And then now we're talking about it again. I still like it. My prime, my favorite bet of the round overall was the under in that game. 142. I think the pressure could slow Duke down. I think it would force them to play slower than they want to. And Johnny says it's going to be able to run. Duke's a top five transition defense.

So. And Duke last time they were in DC was against Michigan. And they turned the dial down tempo wise. I think they tried to do the same thing to the Johnny's playing the half court. And in shy or second half unders since he took over a Duke have been a cash can. Look at you. One of my one of my favorite things is about first half unders. Particularly. I don't want to hear about your vices here. Okay. Should we do our new pit? Yeah. There's something I realized. And I got to shout out. Haral about this is that. Oh, he's. Offense. Offense. It's much more efficient. When you're playing in front of your. Your teams. Your team. Yeah. So a lot of times you'll see more second half. Overs in college basketball because in the first half. You're always playing in front of the opposing. Team. Not John. Yeah. I forgot. You know what I just remembered Houston was home for that game. Yeah. It was a lot of noise. It was very. Very. They're pretty quiet. Rock is crap. Yeah. I know. I know. I know. I know. I got hurt the Nebraska fans.

I feel like that's why people bet them. That's why it moved from two to a half to three and a half. I got to make sense. Yeah. Not one person got out of their seat. All right. Here's a great game that I feel somehow. Is getting undervalued. Should you call. Over under reaction. You con Michigan station to be talking about more tape. You kind of wanted to have point favorite. Yeah. This is a game. I talked about it. And I was leaning towards a Michigan state. Then the. The wonder. I got beef with tape that I talked to. I talked to myself. It happened here. What. What. So Tate and I do the college hoop show on Tuesday. Right. We talked about the game. I'm all excited because we agree. Michigan state. Yeah. Michigan state. So then I see a tweet from Zach Lowe that Tate went on. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to support Tate. I'm going to skip to the. The Tate episode. I'm going to. Strong. Strong 25 minutes showing. Yeah. And it was a great segment. And at the very end. You kind of Michigan state toward the very end. Yeah. Yeah. And Tate goes. Yeah. I think the Huskies are going to get it done. Wow. You heard it was funny about this. And the reason I was telling the bundle. It's like going on all these radio stations. Yeah. In the week. Right. Like, you know, they're popular.

We get Nebraska. Like, come on. Yeah. You know, whatever. Like all these different. I would say all these places. Come on. Lie to us. Yeah. Seattle. Toronto. What are all these different places. Right. You go on and like, you kind of know the team that they're rooting for. You have a great team and you can say, uh, here's how they can make a run of the Final Four. And then like, so I'm doing that. Like I go in Iowa City. I'm like, here's how I will go in. I can see it happening. I go in the breath. So then you get lost in your own mind of like, What if I even, I don't even know what I picked because. It's kind of. I've been. I've been this. I was whirlwinded, and just giving people what they want to hear. And then Zach's like, God, I like you kind of think I'm like, Yeah. I like the Huskies, you know. So I got baited by my radio brain. And then debundo's mad at me because he's like, we were all on sparty. You know what I do like the Spartans. I am a mission. Okay. Okay. So we we now have him right he's picked both sides. Yes Take who you got tomorrow? I like the Spartans. Yeah, sorry. We're back. We got him back Let's go play both sides. I want to stick up for Tate here. I don't think it's fair how thin he's spread by the ringer I don't know who's in charge. You do not need to go on Zacklow show

Zacklow's got his thing Whatever he's a Netflix guy. I don't know anything about college basketball. It's fine He could survive without you. You're saying you're saying I should stop giving the NBA people college Well, whatever you're this is like Christmas week asking Santa Claus to run your lemonade stand Like you got you got too much to do man. I can't sell lemonade All right, so okay, so who has a pick for this? Oh, so everybody's kind of staying away from this I actually have a pick for this. Yeah, okay. I mean look. I'm right. We're early 15 and one against the spread Yeah, I want in his last one. I hate you in Zacklow. I hate to be a trends guy But I mean you got to roll with the trends here. I mean, I also don't think Michigan states, you know I don't think their half-core offense is the best and if they're not hitting threes Then I think you can't pull it out some ride with my guys. Oh, it's gonna be a close game And also like those two coaches are gonna be all up on the officials We're it'll be interesting to see how it's officiated. Yeah, I like the front court more of Michigan state in this game

I think terrorists read there's a chance he could get in foul trouble that that would be my big caveat in this game But Jeremy fears if he's not able to create it I mean, he's like kind of the one man banning the Swiss beats of that offense, and if you can't create for everybody else Doesn't make sense is this game that we see it played and like oh, we were wrong one of these teams is really good They're gonna go to the finals. No, no, I don't think you're locked into that. I I honestly don't maybe a St. John's beats Duke Yeah, I don't see either one of these teams beat Duke either. I really don't and I say that as a Carolina You know person and the market has loved this Yukon team a lot more than the metrics all year When they came into the tournament fifth six favorite it was like okay We have the four one seeds Houston Yukon Yukon Houston the metrics don't think that they were even the top 10 team It's at various points of the season. Yeah, they struggled down the stretch They got cooked in the biggest tournament final solo ball is nowhere to be found Yeah, he's on a milk cart three straight games. Just really. Oh, I'm Demory to live by milk. Yeah, right then you got the injury

He's just all of a sudden there a minute before tip off against Try to their better start either out. Okay. That's MBA. Yes. That's how you do right rate So Michigan 9.5 point favorite over Alabama I don't know anyone in the country taking Alabama. There will be people well to with the points But maybe after tonight they're gonna get so pull off this. Yeah, I think so they see what a shellacking looks like in the round The 16 tape take us through why Michigan's gonna roll well Michigan I think we were talking about it like very similar to Arizona front courts. What is that clothing? I think he's like Alabama now getting I think Michigan's gonna be in a similar spot to Arizona Where they're just gonna wear down this team and in the SEC this year the defense is just weren't that good And I think a lot of these offensive teams that have been incredible have not really seen defenses and size and length Like we're gonna see with against Michigan And I think that the one caveat I would say is that NATO's has played Elliott Kado before in the tournament

I was at that game in Los Angeles and he basically broke his confidence in that game by baiting him into threes Hmm, and he just kept taking them He made his first two and then he just completely got taken out of the game because they just left him wide open It was a Ben Simmons-esque kind of approach to the game So NATO's is gonna try to do something funky. He might even try to slow down the pace to throw off kind of what Michigan is doing Because they're gonna suspect that he's gonna try to run and gun as he usually does right so don't count out NATO's trying to do something a little bit different here He's also a Detroit guy so Michigan is kind of a school that's in the backyard that you know I might have a little bit of a thing for and I think he enjoys the match up with Dustin May but I still feel like Michigan just has too much down that's your best bad for tomorrow I'm gonna take Michigan to win and the bundles as well I'm gonna agree Michigan nine and a half. It was ten and a half came down. Yeah happy to take it Alabama played a decent non-con here. They hosted Purdue. They give up eighty seven. Are they texting you right now? Yeah NATO is setting me this line. He's trying to convince me to bet Alabama behind you I'm gonna work Arizona scores 96 on them. Mm-hmm. And then Florida put up a hundred

Those are the caliber of offense is that they've struggled against defensively That's Michigan's right out there with it's a lot to ask of eight in sharell to deal with that front court. Yeah, right I feel like you're doing going to do something crazy with the total on this game. I was it now. I'm it's it's 173 and a half. She's down. Yeah, I mean I'm is up from 147. I mean one. I mean, excuse me 174. I think you got a lean under here. I mean Alabama. They put up 90 to other day. They were 1942 I mean I might go over just for how many points Michigan might put up interesting You know what I mean? It's like not even about Alabama So would you suggest I go a team total under on Alabama? Yes, that would be like mine That would be more of the playout. Can I say some debunders making a spiteful bet here because he tried to convince you to take Texas Tech over Alabama. I said no, we're he did Definitely did in Alabama. I am an Alabama. I think they're wasting their three. It's like all right They don't play for another four or five days. The game was over within the first five minutes They shoot like that Alabama has no chance. I just hope they make a replicate that. Yeah, all right

Nor will they have the freedom of range to do that. Yeah, Michigan's a lot better defense I mean Texas Tech came out one for ten. Bam. It comes out six for ten Was I salty because I had Texas Tech to make this? Yes, yes Do I love Grant McHazlin? Yes Am I sad? Yeah, I'll say yes You can't you're not just ask yourself questions We have to move on to the next game. I just keep Martin Galey. It should we move on? I was state Tennessee This was three and a half moved up to four and a half now, it's eight The Hawkeyes this is another one. I don't hear a lot of people convinced even with the shortest number a Tennessee could pull the upset Yeah, I mean this Tennessee team similar I think all of these SEC teams who were kind of fallen by the wayside right now in real-time have struggled against these Defenses that have been able to turn it up a level and I think Iowa State is one of those teams obviously They're one of the best defensive teams in the country I am excited and interested to see if Joshua Jefferson plays if Jefferson plays I feel really good about them being able to handle this number and win big But also for them to go down against Kentucky kind of get battle tested there and bounce back into a winning big

I just think that's a big confidence boost for this team and also burger has you know They're one in six as a program getting the elite eight I think they're gonna get back to the elite eight and I'm excited to see what the next match up looks like against Michigan I think Jefferson will come back and play in this game Yeah, you know put them forward already. Yeah, put them forward. I feel good about it So, you know, it's no knock on Rick Barnes. Maybe NC State calls them and says, hey, do you want to come here? I'm kidding. He's gonna stay at Tennessee, but I like I was I think we saw Tennessee just so home to agenda the year You don't think that they could put together three four. I mean, I like Lesby I like Boswell. I mean, obviously native men is a superstar player, but he's playing injured right now So it's one of those teams where I just don't feel like they're playing their best basketball And I also don't think they've seen a defense like Iowa State, right the Bono So the defense is they have that are played that are closest to Iowa State is Houston who they're very well against But then they played A&M Bucky ball. They played Vanderbilt lost two out of three to Vandy

Struggled big time with the pressure of A&M I think they're gonna get turned over a lot tomorrow. I think Iowa State will get a lot in transition Torrey Lipsy. Yeah, and I think they could run him out interesting I'm with Iowa State chicken survivor. I'm running out of teams Yeah, that's like an adjusted line to like six and a half. Oh really that much The SEC has running just per big wall here Yeah, I love those adjusted spreads because you got to go harder than that I mean where you want to go like eating the head? Yeah, the line is four and a half if you do it right now So you're not getting like what are you gonna get like plus one seventy five one six and a half not even yeah Not even that so it's like if you go and go hard you got to go home you got to go minus nine and a half Go nine and a half. I like it. I think they can do it. Let's give our player props here We're up against the clock a little bit here. I like yours the bundle. I bet Cal Riley under 39 and a half Home runs. I think this is the same kind of thing. You're going darling the tournament's darling What is it under six and a half points? Yeah, perfect I mean we have seen Johnny's transition away from the back court scoring

They just been dumping it into Zubi into into Hopkins all the time a little bit of Mitchell But for the most part they they don't really rely on their guards to score and I don't think their guards can be able to score I don't think their guards are in for a hell of a night So under undying All right, I'm going Michigan state Jackson coler over what did I want 15 or more 10 or more minus 128 He has had this number in five of his last six games. He had 23 against Michigan in the season finale He's gonna have to move the needle for this team to compete. I think tomorrow. So that's my the color bear Yeah, what do you got Tate? I don't even remember what I put it What's your lawyer? Oh, that's right. Fletcher lawyer continuing to shoot the You got the wrong game there How many points did he have tonight 15 plus you have oh, yeah, what happened? You're the wrong day. Yeah, did he have over 15? I take it back Tate is not the 4th or maybe only at 12 in college basketball. I think he got it over I don't know look it up. All right, listen, we got it up. I think I think I did this last night

Yeah, lots of lawyers definitely have 15 plus points. All right. My mind is gonna hit 5 3 3 4 3s Don't worry. He also hit two twos in a couple of free throws. There you go. 18 points That's a winner A retro active one of the people we're all winners. We are going to Tate's gonna get his wits back together. We're gonna take a break on the show.

Let's quickly discuss this Illinois five and a half Arizona four and a half this is Saturday

Talked me out of a teaser How do you like teaser? What do you call it? It's just too expensive. What do you call it? I always call it. You kids call it. So it's basically which team are we more concerned with those lines? I feel like I would say Illinois is one I would be more concerned with Okay not the disrespect Purdue but I just feel like Iowa I don't know I'm just I'm worried about Illinois because I feel like they're gonna celebrate like they're good like they're gonna make the final For you had to pick a coach. Let's say UNC and then I got a higher Ben Macomb or Brad on your way, but if you could pick one who would you pick? I mean, I love Brad, but I would pick Ben right. Yeah, I feel like we're isolating that. I love Brad All right Yeah, I think I think you could you could say Iowa like it's such a contrasting style's battle That that you could convince yourself of that Purdue Purdue's been a weird team all year. I mean, I made the case with Purdue before the tournament saying like

And Ken pop made this case in his his column too where he basically said Purdue had a rough go of it They lost a lot of home games this year because teams just shot the lights out against them. Yeah, Arizona doesn't really shoot Rim team so When Purdue just had to average team shoot against them. They were really good. I Would say Purdue is more likely to win than Iowa. Okay, I mean that's what the market is saying because you're looking at Illinois Minus six and a half minus seven seven now. What the hell there's some time we get off the air It's gonna be ten. I think you look at Arizona. You see in five and a half so I think the higher the line goes the more I I feel bad. I'm worried about it All right, so you would say I'm not preemptively Iowa second half All right, but if you were to make a money line parlor, you wouldn't include Illinois in that I Think you could wait and take Duke on Sunday. Yeah I'll do that. I also think Michigan too good. We'll do that. I mean, why don't you just get crazy and just do all four? I know I mean that's a 48 hours of hell right there

Yeah, I mean it can be 48 hours of hell or there just be like just like a long marathon session and one of the game I like this is gonna be what was it the Purdue game the last two minutes were 12 minutes. Oh, yeah, you got a Iowa game in the first they started 25 minutes later and ended before they were Started the second game before that one ended. Yeah, right. Yeah What do we do to fix that? I mean, it's in the NBA too. It's a problem I came back with what we all thought we had at one point in time the all-star game had an even ending. Yeah, right We've tinkered with things so much and I do feel like With the replays and the challenges. I think like college basketball has fixed a lot of things I still feel like they should have quarters and then like simplify the whole game of basketball where every level I've has quarters and it all makes sense, but I know they do it for the the TV Timeouts and all that sort of stuff But the reviews have just gotten to a point where we got Gene Sterator calling in from Right. I don't even know where you know, I guess the caucus or wherever This is just like a Lincoln Nebraska. Yeah, we pay Gene Sterator a lot of money. Well, we got to make this worth it

Is that what it is? I guess I mean, I guess two they're just like trying to make sure they get it right I was thinking have quarters and the men's the don't I don't understand it's literally because of the TV timeouts That's crazy. They built the the whole like media like the entire TV package is around Under sixteen under twelve under eight under four. Yeah, so like they don't want to change all that no Yeah, they still could deal with the quarters for like yeah, they made us pay today when that's the one that Purdue game Nine minutes without I think it had one whistle, but it was So they couldn't call it by the way, I would just throw it off a guy's knee at that point Take a foul. Let's take a foul, but but they ran like 40 commercials They came back from the commercial We had a foul back to the commercial right there. I was thinking so go ahead. So they have the the officiating consultant right right They have the the Jay Feeley kicking consultant for NFL games When do we get cousin South gambling consultant? Oh, like imagine Florida is you know Florida state is plus seven in college of course. They're down ten four minutes ago. They bring in cousin South

It was that no, you can't turn off the game because you need to see if Florida says it's gonna cover any of us Of course, that's why we're watching so the live lines how they're shifting in real time Yeah, what is I don't know why I feel like I'm we're all worth more than Gene Starator. I'm not saying You know If you have to do of your Gene Starator is saying like they made the right call like thanks Gene Well, we'll see you in the next I don't know about that one Gene G.S. is AI That one gene real quick NBA hornets beat the nix one Our friend Mario came in Mario Bosco came in with the bow tie and all all three foot eight of them and he says He said did the next play today and I said yeah, he's like how they do I said they lost a shower He's like are they out now in our producer Mikey Mepals kicked him in the teeth. He was so mad. Yeah, it was bad It was bad. I saw Mikey Mepals watching hockey. Yeah, he's on his photo watching hockey during March, man The Islanders win. Yeah, they did thumbs up big game then there you go big game. That's right. He said I'm ready for the frozen four I'm getting myself back into hockey again

They said the casinos are actually paying right to make sure that the TSA is well-staffed at the airport Is that what it is? Yeah, it's interesting and that shows you who really are friends of the indoor That's amazing About back to that Hornets next game

The sports guy Sim in Texas like do you realize the Hornets if it landed and go 14 and 1 No has 15 the Hornets will be in first place. I don't know how many of those teams care about first place anymore in a division I've always dreamed they do care about because I mean at this point in time you want to stay out of the play in tournament Yeah, well sure if they could jump to six Yeah, I don't know that The Hawks are five or six the Hawks are fifth right now. They're 41 and third. This is saying the dogs are fifth and I want to remind everybody I told everybody that it was time for the Trey young air to end and the moment that they trade him That we should battle them to win the southeast division. I got a new nickname for trade young at plus 120 trade young god Yeah, I'm the biggest trade young hater on the planet Chris like that Chris likes it. You're supposed to go home because he's a wizard so wait a minute. I can't see a thing How do you watch such small? Oh, that's the other thing right now I really can't see six tabs open there to go.

I dream that adreads Usually it's an impromptu much easier Much much easier Yankee's money line sound seven out then that's yeah, you did have the money line I had under I mean Logan. Well. I've had the worst start of his career and still had over five and a half strikeouts

You know why because I bet it no well that so the captain Golden some bread. Oh, yeah over four four strikeouts. I know they'll take it every little take it every night over five with for sure All right, so that was bad and I was thinking about not watching baseball here But that the meds come out this morning Beat the crap out of Paul schemes. You won't see him play again That's it. I think that's it. That was the first thing you said to me when I walked in here You said his scheme's done. I mean people gonna blame Tommy John or WBC. Oh Neil Cruz his cell. Oh, Neil. There doesn't have to play ever. It's fine I saw some of the O'Neill cruise island. I was watching on the plane Pittsburgh is the there's like three dark horses this year and everybody's betting overs Yeah, and I saw a post today that they were the most bet team to make the playoffs this year right Pittsburgh's not made the playoffs in 11 years. Yeah, you know, we don't have to bet him at two to one to make the playoffs But unfortunately, I already did They're defense might might be bad people gave up on the broards. They're deep as old bad even going to be on the team

Post-Trade. Yes. Yes, so that's not trading Honestly, I would say that's a crazy thing. I'm starting to think about it now No, they can't what if they're not like yeah, at what point he does he say enough. I want to play for a winner He's in his third. He said he said the liby done tonight Yeah, uh, he's done he's done you won't see him picture again the meds rowing them I think by the way, it's time to talk about Brett 80 MVP odds. I don't see it anywhere I don't see Carson Bench or Brett 80 This is one of the greatest up there fandal. I do want to say that I'm serious now. This is one of the most exciting rookie of the year races on both sides. We're ever gonna have yeah The rookies that went off today bench at a home run. Yeah, the lottery is cooking right now I keep getting alerts. He had he apparently has had a good night McGonagall for the Tigers. I think had three hits just a Crawford for the Phillies had a couple hits today Right. That's a good group. Yeah Weather hole for the Cardinals. He overed So I bet I bet Sal steward on the red. Yeah, he broke his hand. Yeah, I don't know if you saw that he took a ball to the hand

Yeah, yeah But yeah, it was bond a line drive. It's gonna be a really funny rookie. We're talking about right It was Roman Anthony hit a line drive off his wrist. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Yeah, I've never seen a guy break his wrist off a line drive Until I bet him for rookie I like Sal steward too The bundle. Talk about your Phillies guide, Brian. Oh Chris said last time you'll be tied for first all year So enjoy it. We're tied for first with the nationals too. They got the big win today against the The Copies, but no Phillies. I mean look I don't even have the number in front of me. Mm-hmm. I told Raheem this we talked on the phone this morning Right, I said look. It's a very simple formula that I've mastered in my sports gambling ways If the Phillies play at home and Chris Sanchez is on the mound It really doesn't matter what the price is we're betting the Phillies right there now I think 27 and three or something the last uh third starts and Raheem followed your lead. Yeah, yeah, and it was never in doubt and We still don't know exactly what's going on something's going on with that

With the mound. Yeah, we've talked about the mound. Oh, yeah, yeah amplifies the sinker and the change for Sanchez the downward Vertical approach and now that we've told you guys this edge is gonna go away Oh, well, I've been talking about this for a year and a half. We share the edge We started that we started this End of the 2024 season Yeah, and I went on ringer's Philly special with Shio and I said the Philly should swap They're starting pictures to make sure Sanchez pitches at home and They did and they beat the meds in that game. There's only game. They won in that series. Uh-huh So interesting you saw a crazy stat today You wander on got his first save of the season It is the first time in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies One of the oldest and most losing franchises in the history of sports the first time That they've ever gotten a home save on opening day That's really wow games maybe it has to be about 75 you never happened before That's crazy. I just think that's patently wrong It's hard to believe who told me who made Jason Stark Jason Stark. I trust him We just blow everybody out and all our wins

Yes, I like the way that's it Yeah, I know you guys are Philly's boys. Yeah, all right Anything else with baseball Schwab or hit a home run. I have him an eight to one. That's nice I would just say like we're from people I was saying baseball is dead the sports books when I was getting on the tickets today Yeah, just packed with people watching baseball. It's fun. It's amazing. You know, it's on there Like warm my heart. It's on during the day. It's good. It's good. It's kind of college basketball like I don't never die They want to kill it, but they keep yeah, there you go. Okay. All right. We're not gonna let football take over So I know you want to? I was just on 12 months and you don't have to worry about football so This takes away having a Wednesday game. It makes it less special. Yeah, good luck I just want people to stop hating on NBA. I'm the NBA guy here. Look. I don't think anybody is It's about to get there. Look that three six in the West is as good as it gets You know how you get me to watch the NBA the hornets are good. I mean like that's when it comes down Maybe if you're Boston love it. Can I get you to watch some boxing? I mean, that's a taller order I'm a hockey guy as a Saturday, but I'm also a soccer guy. So big win for us today me and you

Yeah, Italians. We are one game away forever. Okay. It only hasn't been to the World Cup since 2014. They play Totally biking under the Bosnia. They play Bosnia in Bosnia. That's right. Nice. Big game next week. No, the bundle comes up to me today and he's like Italy, Bosnia, big game. I was like This episode is brought to you by two good and company coffee creamers Had he take your coffee piping hot. I a strong frothy But if you love rich creamy goodness and delicious flavor in every sip Try two good and company creamers. They're made with farm fresh cream and real milk Each serving has just three grams of sugar 40% less than the leading coffee creamers two good creamers are available in sweet cream Roasted vanilla lavender. So which one are you trying first find two good creamers at your local retailer in the creamer aisle We got one more break here for the show That's for Friday the bundle. Do you remember what you took? I think I said duke and Johnny's under 142

I did I got to do it. Johnny's under 142 and I like Michigan minus nine and a half. Tate and I are gonna agree with that one I mean, I talked about it earlier in the show. It's it's kind of the first bet that jumped out to me Along with the Oini which came out big for us, but I think The transition defensive duke is the number one thing It is the worst part of the matchup for St. John's and I don't know if they have a solve for it because they get stuck in the half court This offense looks kind of brutal. All you have to do is pull up what they look like against UConn when they didn't turn over UConn a ton in that road game. Yeah, quick sand. It was bad. That's 3328 and a half. Yeah, right like that number In the meantime, Raheem. No, you have uh, you're best you're going in NBA. Yeah, I'm going with the ambi I'm going to Cleveland Cavaliers minus four and a half. I mean, you called them the clavileers We're supposed to hate love them Cavaliers minus four and a half against the Miami Heat I know they played the other day. This is kind of like that baseball series duplex series Whatever you want to call it

But they lost the first game So I'm going to take them at home in a second. Oh, who's this against the Miami Heat right right. Yeah, okay. Yeah No Jared Allen. So it's a little scary, but I think you love this back and forth that you figured it out That's my problem the NBA. It's like I'm like, I mean, I like this matchup. Then it's like no Donovan Mitchell No Evan Mobley no, but you like what do you call this one that I call it the duplex series and you call it the baseball series But it's not a home and home the same team is home twice.
