ACC game Hofstra on top of Monmouth. 64 61 a little over two minutes ago.

Wright State leads Detroit. 63 60 20 seconds ago. And Wright State headed to the Freethore line here in the horizon league championship. So that's where we stand in the live games. Right now let's go out to the progressive guest line and Matt Grill. Draft King's odds maker is going to join us. And let's get the read from behind the counter at Draft Kings. Where are the lines changing and where's the money going? Let's go behind the counter. Hi, Matt Grill. Look maker at Draft Kings. What's the action like on these college hoops conference tournaments? This is a wild week with games early morning to late at night. Yeah, Matt. Of course, all of our college basketball junkies, one of the best weeks of the year games all day long for about six straight days here. So we're just getting into with the major conferences today kicking off. So big 12 and their illuminated glass court made appearance this morning.

Already some good games and of course Gonzaga tonight makes their annual. And I really do mean annual. I think it's 28 straight years. To the west coast conference final playing Santa Clara, which would be a good one late night. Which which game drew the most action on the board today? Is it going to be that Santa Clara Gonzaga game because it's in that prime time spot tonight? Yeah, we'll be we've got some good action in that. So a little bit of Santa Clara money line. Conversely, a lot of Gonzaga money lines and lots of parolays. No surprise there is about an eight and a half point favorite. So they're going to be the tournament. Obviously Gonzaga is about three or four seed. Guess they could improve up to that three line. And then Santa Clara after the win last night. Impressive over St Mary. They're probably solidly in the in the field. I'm probably a team that no one really wants to play come tournament time. So and then of course, we've got the big conferences really heating up the next two days. Probably this Thursday and Friday, two of my favorite days of years with about 40, 50 games each day just, you know, from about eight in the morning till just about midnight. So an all around town here in Vegas as well.

For those who like to conference tournaments, always about four or five here in town to make, make your way around the city to lots of games. Mac grill of draft Kings, you're a UNLV graduate. And you love going out to these games in there in town. We're going to talk about the Mountain West tournament here in a minute. Have you made it out to the West Coast conference? We're Santa Clara and Gonzaga are going to play for the championship tonight. We've had some really good games in that tournament after Orleans arena. Yeah, I didn't make out this year map, but I've been in years past into a couple of Gonzaga St. Mary's finals over the years. And that's always a fun one there just to see Gonzaga. Obviously, usually, you know, a top 10 or 15 team team in the country. So always good to get out there and see, you know, just what a really high quality team looks like. And yeah, you mentioned those rebels. They're playing at the Thomas Mac tomorrow at noon against Wyoming in the eight-nine game. Where did it get to take on Utah State? Through Utah State, probably not looking too forward to playing the rebels for a third time. Having lost to him twice. And you know, the rebels around 75 to 81 as a flyer in the Mountain West. I don't think it's the worst bet.

This team can literally literally lose to anyone or beat anyone in the conference. So they might have a shot as one of the more decent kind of conference tournament long shots. Where are you finding that number on UNLV to win the Mountain West? You said about 75 to one. You know, sorry, Matt, that's what they were early early the week. I think now down to 45. So misspoke there, but I think still maybe a number worth taking on them. So they can get things right for a couple games in a row. Could be dangerous. So yeah, misspoke there a little bit lower, about 45 to 51. All right, unbelievable finish here in the horizon league championship. If you had Detroit plus three and a half or four, man, take a deep breath like I just did. Got there. 66, 63. Wright State gets the win. And Detroit after two miss free throws by Wright State. Detroit drove down. It looked like had a layup to tie the game at 65. It got blocked. And then Detroit filed with five tenths of a second left. Wright State goes down the other way to the free throw line. Makes the first misses the second.

And we have a three point decision. How about that? Will Hill for point spread high jinks at the end of a basketball game. Also Wright State was up by five. Detroit missed the shot. And the kid on Wright State got the rebound, but just sort of slipped, lost the ball out of bounds. No big deal. Up five, nine seconds to go. Detroit hits a three. And like you said, gets the two miss free throws and look like they had a chance to tie a what a wild game. Not just to go to the tournament with the spread implications. I did not want to push it for. And that was three and a half overnight with a four four and a half close. Five and it lands on three 66 63. Matt Grill, you're familiar with sweating out our college hoops games at the end. And we're just getting started here. We got a bunch of games ago this week and next week. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, the ACC is going to be intriguing as well, guys. That we actually took a lot of action on out four to state. As an other one, he's kind of conference tournament long shot. That's actually one of my think that could have a shot. You know, the baby cow on the first game were their favorite.

They're going to take on Duke and Duke with these injuries. You know, that they've sustained in the last week or so. You know, they know they're going to be a one seed. You know, if they lose again, the price end up is maybe the overall number two. Or three depending on what Michigan air is only do. So, you know, for us, they get through them. They'd play probably the winter in Clemson, North Carolina. And then you know, so that's one that's over 100 to one. I think we're up around 130, 120 last I look. So that's one I think could be a real one. A good one in your pocket for a long shot. Then another one I like this week, guys. Illinois in the big 10 up around four or four, after one around town. They're obviously dangerous. Can be anybody can score a lot of points. So, I like the aligned in the big kind as well. Mac growl of draftings with us. Talking college, who's betting championship week here. And grill. Speaking of the ACC, we talked about Caleb Foster being out. Duke being down two players this week. And I played Will and I both played Virginia plus 750 when the ACC. I looked at Clemson here at circa 52 to one.

I know you and the bear Chris Fleek had just mentioned four to state as a long shot. So that's in the ACC. How about in the big 10 you just mentioned. Do you think there's a much urgency for teams like Duke and Michigan to win these conference tournaments? Or would you definitely look at the longer shots in those conferences? Yeah, you know, in terms of favorites, you know, in the in the big east. I like Yukon rather on even money. There's still, I think, easily the best team, you know, be playing and seeing John. They'd be a, you know, a couple point favorite over them. They mean the final, which is probably what will happen there. Maybe going over could play a spoiler. But so I can't really look at when I've been these guys, I like looking at teams who are actually favorite to mean things, a couple of decent long shots. And then maybe some of these two or three seeds, like I mentioned in Illinois. They're actually the four of the big 10. But ones could who can help themselves out by improving their seed line. That came also in Chicago. So going to be nearby their home campus there. So I like how things line up for them as well.

Then in the big 12, if you guys can pick a winner, more power to that. That thing might be tougher to win than the actual NCAA tournament. For some of these first round teams like a BYU, just a goal and they got through just incredible. Yeah, I don't have a futures point. A big 12 tournament. I looked at that puzzle the last night. I said, okay, I can't solve that one. Will. Matt, not too often does a conference tweet out. Basically a ransom note from one of its schools saying, pay us this money otherwise we're going to kick you out. Utah Valley is the short shot. That would obviously affect the bracket. That would affect the odds. How are you handling that if you got in before the news? Are you honoring those bets? Explain this process to me, which is very unique, obviously. You know, I saw guys that it passed that 5 p.m. mountain time deadline and nothing happened. So there wasn't a new bracket. So you know, maybe you guys have more recent news than I do. But I did not end up seeing that. But there's anything else went down with that this afternoon. How about odds for the one CTR? I've seen some books post will a one seed win the tournament like minus 200. I can see some value there with all the ones making it last year.

Will that be a prop you offer? One seed to win the tournament? All the one seeds to make it? What would you expect those numbers to be? And how creative will you get here when the bracket comes out Sunday? Yeah, we'll definitely have all that guys. Including the traditional how many one seeds will make the final four. That's always a phone. They're usually priced around one and a half. These are might have to be two and a half. Which is how down and these top three and three and maybe four teams are. So we'll have a bunch of fun props in the tournament for sure in a couple days. Mac grill draft King's odds maker with us now talking to college hoops grill. I wanted to get back to the mountain west for a minute. So it feels like this conference is wide open. And it's going to start Wednesday in Las Vegas, UNLV at three and a half point favorite over Wyoming. How do you break down that bracket? And you know, you were talking about UNLV as a long shot. You can get 45 to one out there now. Would you take a shot with the Rebels? And if in addition to betting UNLV, which teams do you like in that conference tournament? Yeah, another one that's wide open, Matt. You know, we've always kind of I think found some like kind of mid-range winners of this tournament. So lots of teams can win it.

San Diego States probably got to get to the final to get in to Mexico as well. You know, Nevada around 20 to one decent value. Boise, of course, they got a plan extra game. So pretty wide open. I think it's a bit of a guessing game, but wouldn't mind sprinkling a couple of those kind of like five to maybe 15 to one type type of odds on those. I was going to say if you picked the team who it'll be, Will is going with Colorado State at 25 to one. I'm going with San Diego State about plus 350. But this is this is a tough call here. If you what would be your play outside of Utah State? By the way, the Rebels swept Utah State beaten by 27 last week in Vegas. Yeah, truth is stranger than fiction. You know, I'm going to write I'm going to I'm going to follow that cap. I'm going to say Colorado State too. You want to think of eight of the last nine games that in the tournament be some good team. So, you know, I like that price in that team. Boy, we've got a flagrant foul here with a minute 20 to go in the wake Virginia Tech game. And I think that might be Miles Colvin going to the free throw line.

And he makes the first and flagrant foul with a minute to go in a tie game in the ACC tournament first round. Matt Grill, we need you to hang around for a few minutes after the break. If you can to talk golf, I got a quick question for you. And the SEC tournament. That's another tough one here. You got Florida as an odds on favorite. Would you bet Florida or where else would you look in the SEC? Oh, man. Just, you can't get in front of Florida right now. Just always get from a game by game basis. You know, they're about minus when 80 to win the tournament. I probably would just have no action on the SEC right now. And we'll talk some golf in a minute. All right, we will. The players championship. This is a big time event this week. Scotty Schuffler, the favorite. More with Matt Grill of draft games. We come back in a moment. Headed down to the wire in the wake. Virginia Tech. And it looks like Hofstra is going to close out of win against Monmouth.

The Sports Betty Network. Card back, Will Hill, Matt humans in.

Matt Grill of Draft Kings here on Veecent Prime Time at a Tuesday night. And it's an action packed Tuesday night with a bunch of college hoops going on. The Hofstra game just went final. Will Hill will give you the play by play on the end of that game. 17 seconds left and the ACC turned him up first round. And Wake and Virginia Tech tied at 75. Wake Forest shooting guard just had a wide open three and he air balled it. And now the Hokies are going to have a shot to win. They're holding for the final shot here. And we will tell you what happens as it develops. But again, Wake was a two and a half point dog over night most of the day. I believe here at Circa this close pick him. And it's going to go right down to the wire. Hopefully if you bet Wake, you got the two and a half. And Virginia Tech does not bury a three here to win the game at the buzzer. We'll see how this plays out. Will Hill, you want to tell us quickly. Well, we'll wait for the for the last shot here in the Wake game. You're going to describe what happened at the end of the Hofstra game. Because that was a point spread decision to went down to the wire. We are now underway.

Santa Clara scores the first four points against Gonzaga, 17 and a half minutes. And the Zags are scoreless. And that here we go. Final shot for Virginia Tech in the lane runner. It's no good rebound. And we're going to head it over time. Damn. Yeah, Virginia, you got Wake plus two and a half. You need a Virginia Tech to win the game right there. Now it's going to OT and the dog's probably going to die in OT. Anyway, what happened? Will at the end of the Monmouth Hofstra game. Hofstra wins at 75 69. I must say this is like an NFL Sunday with the last three games. The Detroit game, the Vatek and Wake and the Hofstra game. Just games being decided by a half a point or a miss shot here. And their Hofstra was laying four and a half, laying five and a half adjusted at half time. They're up one with a minute or so left. They pull away. They're up six. Looks like they're going to cover. Monmouth hits a three. They get fouled. They cut it to two with like seven seconds left. But Hofstra makes two to go up four. It looks like it's going to land on four or less.

Monmouth misses. Hofstra grabs the rebound with like 0.5 seconds left. Hofstra gets fouled. They make both free throws. They win by six. They cover all numbers. And they are going back to the tournament for the first time since. I believe Speedy Claxon is the coach. And I think Speedy Claxon was the point guard on the team in the last time. They actually played in the tournament. So Hofstra wins. Hofstra covers. And we've had some serious point spread drama here with these numbers map. I know you're happy to see Hofstra pride back in the tournament as winners. The coastal first bid since 2001. All right. Back to Mac grill. A draft Kings mat. I wanted to ask you about Sunday, because last few years or several years, draft Kings has been the first in the world up with these numbers during the selection Sunday show. You get the openers up instantaneously. How's that process going to work this week? And what part do you play in that? Yeah, Matt, we definitely take pride in that. We're usually getting numbers up for these games. Close is like 30 seconds after they get announced throughout the TV. You know, we're watching the selection show along with everybody else.

So we'll have these numbers up again. You know, the action is usually fast and furious. You know, so just love that. And that night, I'm just describing you guys off there. That's two of the tougher days for bookmakers, just because there's so much to get up. This in terms of props for the NCAA tournament. This endless props nowadays. And a quick two day turnaround. So, you know, that night, the other market that people really love is that we're going to have up to teams to make this week 16. Elite eight win the region. So those are always very popular. So we'll see how it all sticks out. Who kind of gets the bracket of death? And who gets an easier path? So, you know, we've got these kind of top four dominant teams with Duke Michigan Arizona and now Florida. They could throw that mix. And we'll kind of see who gets a short and a stick and who's got a nice path to the tournament. Of course, before you even know it, you're playing the games on Tuesday and Wednesday night for the planes. And then, you know, by 9 am Thursday, things are kicking off and that is begins as we all know. Back row of draft Kings with us. College football, basketball and golf odds maker. And Grille, let's talk about the players' championship now.

And you did not have Daniel Berger in your pocket last week. Did you know I know Paul Stone had about 140 to one up to with three holes to go. And he blows it. Actually, body wins in a playoff. And Vittia is, let's see, this week. I believe what do you got about? What number do you have on him this week, about 35 to one? Yeah, he's around 35 40 and did not have Berger last week. I feel bad for my longtime friend Paul Stone. And that one, hopefully he had something there, at least in the playoff or maybe a little bit before. We got the players this week. Always a very intriguing handicap. There's so many things to consider. We've got a little bit of a reduced field from years past. It was a bit of an unfortunate down to 123 players from the usual. 144. So we're not seeing a couple of names like Will's all at Taurus and some other stars that this didn't end up qualifying. But all these a tough one to assess here, just with the weather being a factor at this tournament. The AMPM splits have been affected in recent years

by the wind and the rain. So make sure you're checking that throughout the week. But usually, you know, this tournament, at least since they've moved it back to March for about the last six, seven years, it's kind of played out like a major. You know, they call it the fifth major. And the winners we've seen the last couple of years. These are all major champions, guys. So I like the top of the board this week. Not going to fiddle around with guys. I think below like at 70 80 to one mark. So I'm looking at some of the favorites and Matt. I've got a pretty short card. And again, I'm sticking with the guys at top of the board. Going back to our friend, Colin Morecala. You know, he looked good recently. This this course really should be custom made for him in his type of game. He's left to ride ball flight. He's approached. I've been putting by her lately. So definitely like Boracala at the top. Seawoo Kim. He's one here, you know, kind of as a nobody back in 2017. When he either on 500 to one that week. So he's won another peacock courses at the best start to a year in his career. So like Seawoo, I go a little bit further down. Have a stepstruck. He's a second a couple weeks ago at Pebble with contending

last week another course that you'd think that he's just custom made for with his short approach play. Another one, Jake Nap. He had the late withdrawal last week. But he's been so good this year. I feel like I've kind of avoided the landmine by not bed them. So I'm hot on this week. And then I'm actually going right back to Daniel Burger. Didn't have him last week. But this is another course where he's got good history, Matt. So that's my five pack for this week. Not going to get too creative or isn't crazy. But I think a couple of you guys are going to have a shot. Come Sunday, at least I'm hoping so. Yeah, Colin Morecala right now 20 to one range. Seawoo Kim around 25 to one. The thing about Morecala, he's got a positive history on this course. It just stalls out. He doesn't make a big move on the weekend. Matt, that's what I'm waiting for. I kept last weekend. I kept waiting for Morecala to make a movie. Never did. Hopefully for your sake, you can do that this week. I might play him as well. I was thinking about it. What about, I asked Jeff Sherman about this player because I feel like it might be time to start betting him again. I've not bet him for a long time. Ludwig Oberg at about 25, 30 to one.

Do you like him this week? Or I know he's not on your five pack. Do you like him going forward? Maybe in the Masters or do you see some positive sides with Oberg? 100% Matt, I think him, Cameron Young, and maybe we'll do the three guys. I don't have my car that scared me the most this week. I think they've got some, you know, they're all playing very well. Speaking of Oberg, I did bet him at the Masters a couple of weeks back. He's got a fourth of the second there and it's only two appearances. If he goes in there with his game and the shape it is right now, he's definitely going to be a threat. So like he's been trending, saying it was Cam Young, I kind of looking at trying to add him for the Masters as well. He's just, he's off the tee prowess. He's been so good. So I think it's actually mitigated a little bit this week with having to take less off the tee on a lot of these holes and a lot of dog legs, but he always pops at all kinds of different courses. So definitely a threat. And Minwoo Leap, one of the most straight long drivers of the ball. And he's been, had a couple top five zero in the season. So those are three.

I'm definitely trying to avoid this week, but I'm already so with my five guys this week. So it's home for the best and hoping one of these kind of top names wins it. All right, Matt Grill, Draft King's odds maker. Grill, thanks for working over time with us tonight. I know you've got to put in some long hours this weekend. Absolutely. Thanks, guys. All right, Will Hill. Thanks, Matt. Back here on a visa and prime time. And if you're going to bet the openers in the NCAA tournament, Draft King's puts those numbers up for simultaneously, really from the announcement that you're going to get on the selection Sunday show. It's impressive how quickly Draft King's will have those numbers up. Will, how about the start by Sienna? And this is going to be a hot coach, right? Sienna up 21 to 9 on Merrimack, the top seed in the MWAC. Yeah, a tough place to play. A tough place to score, I should say. It's almost like a stage. And that's been a real under factory. People talk about Archmandis, the Missouri Valley, played in St. Louis' being under this boardwalk.

AC scenario here with the MAC has been an under machine as well. Jerry McNamara, you said it is the coach. Would you believe this map? I'm sure you remember it. I do. I was in college. The 20 year anniversary of that incredible run. They either won five games in five days, six games in six days. He hit a buzzer beater for three in one of them. Hard to believe that's been 20 years. But McNamara, like you said, will be a hot coach, especially if he gets into the tournament. Wow. That was really 20 years ago. 2006. I can't believe it's been that long. I remember that game vividly. I watched that entire game. Do you think he's going to be the next Syracuse coach? Will he be the next Syracuse coach? It would make sense. I would think so. All right. Anyway, wait for a step on Virginia Tech now. 84, 81 Virginia Tech's got four free throws here and over time. And, uh, wait, holding on to a three point lead with a little over two minutes to go. I said halfway through the second half. This game's going to go down to the wire in the final minute. You could just sense it. It went down to the final shot.

Virginia Tech missed it. Missed a put back in there. Here we are at over time. With a wake, a two and a half point dog. Now sending tech to the free throw line down three with 207 to go Santa Clara of 14 to six out of over Gonzaga. Broncos fast out of the gate in the West Coast Conference Championship. This is Vincent Pryptime on Vincent. The Sports Betty Network. Acans with an and one opportunity. Wake Forest up by three with 58 seconds. Go free throw pending Santa Clara up 16, 14, on Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference Championship here in Vegas.

I miss the free throw. I made it. Okay. 89, 85 very slow to put that point up on the board. I don't know who works the scoreboard graphic for ESPN for, but wake up. You just sleep at the wheel. They're halfway down the court before you put the point on the board. 89, 85, 35 seconds to go. We got a shot in the lane. We're going to have a foul and two free throw attempts for a Virginia Tech.

That's the MWC Championship. Sienna the underdog. Merrimack the top seed there. 13 point lead. Wake Forest up 89. 87. Got the ball with 35 seconds to go. You'd think of Virginia Tech. Probably going to try to get a force to turn over and then foul. And with Wake, going to go to the free throw line now to foul with 28 seconds to go. Yeah, you got to foul there. You can't play that out and leave maybe four seconds on the game clock after the shot. So smart move by Virginia Tech to foul early in that one. Will how about this news tonight? We talked about breaking news that the Baltimore Ravens have backed out of the deal. The Raiders sent Max Crosby to the Ravens for two first round picks. We thought it was a done deal. Not the case. Apparently the report surface night that Max Crosby failed to physical. Tom Pelicero of NFL Network tweeted this out tonight.

Quote one general manager summarized the feelings around the league with this quote. This is very much bull bleep on Baltimore's part. We'll watch your reaction to that. It sounds like the Ravens had buyers for Morrison. We're looking for a way to back out of the deal. Yeah, I wonder if that anonymous GM was the Raiders GM. Yeah, it's just you wonder what the motivation for Baltimore is because Friday night you say, hey, let's let's buy it. Let's let's let's let's let's sign it right now. Two first rounders will sign the contract. We're going to make this trade sounds good. And then on Tuesday saying what we don't want it to, they find a better way to spend their resources. Is there another trade or acquisition that they found? Or is this just is this on the surface? Hey, he's got something with it is whatever hamstring, wrist, whatever the case is. I don't know. This is an odd scenario. You've got a good instinct for this stuff. What do you anticipate is the reason behind this deal being nixed? I think the Ravens had buyers remorse.

You know, it's kind of like somebody who goes to one of those vacation condo rental seminars and they signed the contract for the condo rental and then they go home to the next day and say, dammit, I wish you didn't sign that kind of. Can we get out of that contract? That's why I think probably happen with the Ravens. And then they've tried to find a way for them to fail the physical and avoid the deal. I don't know. It's first of all, it's the Ravens organizations a little bit different now will because John Hartwell is not there, right? So it's a new front office. It's kind of like a new group of guys making decisions there. In Baltimore, maybe they're not in the same page after they made the Max Crosby trade. I don't know. That's all I feel is I feel like they got cold feet or buyers remorse after they made the deal. Which makes sense, but like my counter that would be. It's not like they just agreed to this deal on a whim. And they were three or four beers deep inside. You know, we'll deal with trade a couple picks for Crosby. And then they wake up sober the next day and decide not to do you figure they

talk this out, you know, mapped out what they should do. This was probably in the works for a while. This probably wasn't a whim. So my point is you probably had enough conviction to talk this over, have meetings, sign off on it, agree it was a deal. But your point about maybe a little bit of a disagreement and a front office that's not aligned. Maybe that's possible. We got another tweet here from Diana Rossini. The Dallas Cowboys are not expected to reengage in Max Crosby trade discussions at this time. A high ranking source tells the athletic and the Cowboys were the team that apparently offered two first round draft picks for Crosby. And the Raiders went with the Ravens offer instead. I've also heard reports that the Bears were involved. I don't know if the Bears offered a first or a second, but maybe the Bears could get back involved in the Max Crosby talks. But it sounds like a lot of people around the league doubting what the Ravens are doing here according to that quote in that Tom Pell Serrow tweet that a tweet that a lot of people think it's bowl bleep what the Ravens pulled tonight.

By the way, it looks like Wake Forest is going to win this game. Don't want to jinx it. But we got Wake plus two and a half. Over time is where underdogs go to die, but maybe not this one. All right, Cooper Swagger is at the free throw line. He is a 75% shooter. Up by four, he sinks the first one, 9489. Wake takes the lead over Virginia Tech with nine seconds to go. I don't know how Wake can blow this with nine seconds to go. But anyway, he makes the second one 95 89. Tech's going to have to make a quick three and then steal the in bounce pass or a foul. And for some reason, down six Virginia Tech guard down six, he drives for a layup and he misses it. Why would you drive for a layup, the two point layup, when you're down six with three seconds to go? Oh, the math is not math thing. That's a questionable decision. Maybe he's just ready for the season to be overall. I guess to probably go out of the NIT. The game is over 95 89. I had the same thought. You know, something like that happens and you think to yourself, man,

we bet on this stuff. These kids are just close enough down six with eight seconds up to shoot a two and go for a layup. That's hilarious. It's ridiculous. That's hilarious. How could any player do that when you're down six with eight seconds to go, drive for two? That's like when you hear the commentator say, there's plenty of time here left. You don't need to take the three. No, there's not plenty of time left. You got to take the three. There's no doubt about it. Santa Clara and Zagga here getting tight again. Santa Clara was up about 14 to six. Now the Zags on the fast break, they get an end one and the game is tight at 16 with the Zags going to the free throw line here. And that looked like it probably should have been a charge. It was called a block. Well, when you watch college hoops, a lot of these block charge calls are 50-50. And it seems like the officials call it the wrong way more often than that. Although I will say the sport has been more offensively officiated, more offense-friendly this year with the continuation.

There's fewer charges than in the past, where I felt for years that the charge call was an epidemic and guys would just camp under the hoop waiting to get run over and say they got fouled. And I think they're going to do a good job of getting rid of that to some extent. One thing I've noticed just watching these live scores, I wish I pulled a trigger on a few of these. We talked about these live overs late. You get an overtime like Virginia Tech and Wake, you're going to win right state. We were talking about that when it was 127 and a half. That went way over. Even Penn State Northwestern. It was 70-57 with two minutes to go. So all the live total was 140 and a half. That landed on 142 as Northwestern. Wings of the game 76-66 between the fouling, between the overtime. Boy, if you've got an under, it's really good to just keep it to the first half. You see so much scoring late in these conference tournament games, Matt. You do. And also teams that refuse to die. They all right, they won't give up. They will foul to the bitter end. They'll foul under down 10 with 20 seconds to go. Santa Clara hits a three Allen Graves

makes that one. He's a nicely-compliant freshman forward. 19-19 now because it's Ag's answer with a three. Let's check out some scores here. Sienna up 28-20 on Merrimack. Montana up 31-20 on Portland State. Montana plus two and a half was another play. I put in the Bison Pro in that last night. Money Williams for the Montana Grizzlies. Check him out. He had 40 points last night. He's got 15 of the first 31 for the Grizzlies. In this game with about four minutes to go in the first half. Also, finals in the book Wake closes that out. 95-89 over Virginia Tech. You mentioned Northwestern, a purple cat's advance. They're going to face Indiana in the Big Ten tournament. Tomorrow, we'll have about this Indiana Hoosiers. Northwestern wins that by 10. Northwestern has defeated Indiana six consecutive times. Believe it or not. And how about this? I think we're in about the 27th or 28th year of the Big Ten tournament. Indiana has never won the Big Ten basketball tournament.

That is for people of a certain age, especially people little older than me, that's just inconceivable. I mean, that's really just impossible to believe. But I feel like this is the point of the night where maybe you can catch your breath a little bit. I think we've got six games going on right now. Two games still to tip. So it was a crazy day. You did pretty well here with a lot of these underdogs. You've had a nice day. You've had to sweat and survive a couple of them. But hey, that's part of doing business. And then buckle up tomorrow. Because just looking at the schedule and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. But it starts tomorrow. Just if you like betting, if you like basketball, buckle up. We got about a million games on tap. Yeah, I had to sweat Detroit and had to sweat Wake Forest. But I got on the right side in both of them. Arizona State B. Baylor this morning, 83 to 79. So Bobby Hurley stays alive. Pit 64, 63 over Stanford. Cincinnati over Utah, 73, 66. SMU took out Syracuse by 17. How about Marilyn pulling an upset in the Big Ten tournament?

70, 66 over Oregon. 70 to 60 over Oregon was the final there. Hofstra 75, 69 over Monmouth. Steven F. Austin wins, but does not cover 60 to 58 against Texas A&M. Purpose Christie, Long Island, Wright State, BYU, also winners. The average cost of a D-Wine Virginia is $11,352.47. Drinking and driving costs more than your drinks.

Three nothing in the top of the third. Have you followed this? Uh, I've knew they had a game tonight. I've honestly, I made my bets on Dominican. Got a couple of MVP vets. Uh, I've watched it here and there. But with college basketball going on, I've been much more focused on the college hoops. And my issue with this tournament and tonight's was going to contradict that. There's just the games are not competitive enough. Maybe when we get to the knockout round, I'm sure they'll be better. You get Dominican versus the US, Japan. You get the good teams against the good teams. But you look at these games, Matt. You look at the lines. US is favored by nine and a half. Dominicans favored by seven and a half. I mean, why is might as well have the US play team all teams? It's just not competitive enough to, uh, to keep my interest. But tonight US, uh, down three nothing. I'll check the live line in a minute. Be interested to see if there's still favor here. Usually down three nothing. You're not going to be. But they were a monster favorite coming in. McLean, who's supposed to start the championship game. If they get there is a, I would guess having a rough evening. But hey, it's the old saying baseball. Anything can happen. And anything is happening right now with Italy up three nothing. Looking to add more here with the man on third. Yeah, the thing for me that complicates the world baseball.

Classic is in the middle of championship week with March madness here. I don't really care about a, uh, a gimmick baseball tournament. And by the way, you're talking about not being competitive. But Italy is trying to dispel that right now with a three nothing lead. And runners on the corners with two outs in the third. So that's where we stand on that game. By the way, in the big sky championship. Symi's Montana a short dog is up 3622 on Portland State. The number one seed. But here's the update from the association tonight. Bam out of bio. As 71 points with six and a half minutes to go. Miami Heat 136 Wizards 108. Bam has 71 points and eight rebounds. Will if you told me there's going to be a player in the NBA score 70 points. I he would not been one of my first 10 or 15 guesses. Or 20 or 30. Yeah, he's not really a three point shooter. He's more of like a workman like he's a good player. But like you said, not a prolific score.

71's a lot for anybody 71. You get that kind of scoring performance. Well, without thinking I was scoring is increased in the league to say the least. Once every, I don't know, five or 10 years 71, you know, 50s a lot, 60s almost unheard of 71 was still time to play. I'd be curious what the score that game is. And do they leave them in with a chance to like get to 80? Because I always think that stuff is fun for my history standpoint. But I was 71. That is a staggering, staggering number. It's a blowout. I would leave them in to try to get 80. What's that? How they are feeding him the ball. And apparently we're getting where they're feeding him the ball, trying to pump up his scoring number here with six minutes ago. He's played 37 minutes tonight 71 points 19 for 38 from the field 7 for 18 from three. But how about this 26 for 32 at the free throw line? For bam out of bio 136 110 with a 545 to go heat over the wizards.

Let's check in on our prime time game of the night. The spurs three and a half point favorites over the Celtics. And we got a tight one in San Antonio. JVT on the spurs lay in three and a half right now they're up by four. 89 85 with three minutes to go in the third quarter in San Antonio. Suns on top of the box 197 rockets on top of the Raptors 82 76. Hawksley, Demavericks 122 108 and one more score. Pistons 113 79 over the nets later tonight in the NBA. Bulls of Warriors Hornets and Blazers, Pacers of Kings and T Wolves at Lakers. The one final we have 76ers 139 Grizzlies 129. Sixers get a 10 point win. And that one and the Philadelphia 76ers are going to get the closing number on that one. Sixers actually closed as four and a half point favorites get the win and cover.

And it flies over the total of 229. That's the only final in the NBA. And Zaga is ragged again tonight. Will Hill 28 22 with a little over three minutes to go in the first half at the Orleans arena. Santa Clara the Broncos quick out of the gate up by six. He got to be concerned about the way the Zags have looked offensively. Really sluggish here the past couple of nights in Santa Clara threatening to win this West Coast Conference tournament tonight in Vegas. Yeah I think Santa Clara was around seven to one or so a tournament that's been dominated by mostly Gonzaga but a little bit of St. Mary's too. So Santa Clara if you had that you still can't quite hedge it clearly because on the live line Gonzaga despite being down six is a three and a half point live favorite. We aren't a commercial here so I'm not sure when we're coming back if like Gonzaga shooting free throws or something that's a little bit surprising. I know there are big favorite before the game but surprise there's still three and a half point favorites. Lee and Santa Clara just didn't know if they had another home run effort in them. I thought it was a lot of points thought about taking the eight and a half which was available

but past and I'm certainly regretting it right now even though there's still a long way to go. There is a long way to go 28 22 and I played this under the total of 163. Let's see the live totals down to 146 and a half. Santa Clara leading by six late in the first half. Montana up 39 24 over Portland State. I got to Grizzlies there plus two and a half. Again the market moved against me a little bit in that game. Montana closed as a three point favorite here at Serkin. I saw three and a half out there in a couple spots. I took two and a half of with the Grizzlies who were up by 15 and a half time. One thing I'll say well is this has happened to be quite a bit in the last couple weeks as the steam in the market has moved against the play I made overnight or in the morning. But I'd say like four out of five times I've been on the right side there. You can't panic when the steam moves against you right in college hoops. No absolutely. Do you do most of your betting the night before? Is it a mix of the night before and then you kind of plan where you think the line is going to

move? What sort of your strategy and when you bet? Well a lot of times if it just depends sometimes I'll plan before midnight but mostly I'm betting this stuff overnight and maybe six seven o'clock in the morning four five six seven o'clock in the morning. I like this morning I was going to bet Detroit but I was waiting for a four to show up. There were three and a half small spots and when the four showed up I took that and said I'm good with that and then of course later the line moved to four and a half and five but I thought four was the best I was going to get on Detroit went to five they end up losing the game what they lose by three 66 63 and a game that went right down to the wire with right state winning the horizon league. Let's go back to the the graphic here on Will your conference tournament best bets. We're going to break down a bunch of conference tournaments with Bobby Bucket's Brubex going to be in studio here in about ten minutes with us and Will you and I have a common play on Virginia to win the ACC at plus seven fifty. You've also got Colorado State the long shot

the mountain west at twenty five to one and George Mason a longer shot in the eight ten at fifty to one. Tell us why do you like George Mason and Colorado State so much in those two conference tournaments that those big numbers. Yeah by the way that horizon that you mentioned and I was thinking they just that that conference started that tournament started last Monday and here we are Tuesday just wrapping up that one took forever. My plays like you said George Mason a number grab at fifty to one. I was shocked it was that long. It since moved to thirty five to one. I believe circus at twenty one. They beaten all the top teams in that conference including St. Louis by twenty nine the other day. I think they are very live there. They played a very slow pace three sixty one in the country in tempo out of three sixty five teams and they shoot almost you know they shoot pretty good from three. Same thing with Colorado State they play slow they make threes. Maybe you're buying low here after they just completely made a Saturday against boys. You stayed at home a game where I was on them but that's to me a wide open conference. I like the twenty five to one there with a team that play slow and can shoot the three and Virginia

I just think the path is there to get to a title game Duke I question their motivation their health and then it minus three fifty. I'm looking for someone else to play and I thought about Clemson bear made a case Chris Felica at two hundred to one for Florida State. I can't argue with a two hundred to one price tag you know pretty much any time but I ultimately landed on Virginia plus seven fifty who I do think has a pretty good shot here to be in a title game. I do too and Duke should be a fragile favorite right down two players including your point guard Caleb Foster how much concern what's the concern level for you on Duke heading into the big tournament next week with this team being banged up in short handed. Yeah it feels like last year what I know last year was flag and flags obviously better than these guys but there's concern at your point guard boozer's younger brother is going to step in I'm not sure you know what he's capable of so yeah it's a team that boy be between them and Michigan to to win it all and Michigan's now down their point guard as well so it is a concern I think it's a major concern going in.
