Let's go places. In 2024, a truck crashed into Cannot and more rescue, where I work. 146 of our dogs needed homes fast. We asked for help on Facebook. Our story spread through WhatsApp messages and Instagram reposts. Immediately people stepped up and just six hours later,

every dog was fostered. I'll never forget how our community showed up for us. Learn how over 3.5 billion people connect to what matters with meta at meta.com slash community. We're off and running on a Monday evening alongside mad humans. I'm Tim Murray. And then there were four, the final four Saturday night in Indianapolis. Lots of coverage for all of you. Great guests in store for you guys tonight as well. But Mr. Humans, what a way to wrap up the elite eights. You were texting me. You were brimming with optimism. You said, Yukon's going to come back. I can feel it in my bones. You knew it was going to happen, Matt. And you spoke it into existence. I was doing everything I can to reverse jinx that into existence last night because man, that was not looking good when Yukon fell down 18. It was 44 25 right before

the half. And the Husky scored the final four points before the half. They started to rally. When it got to be 50 to 40 at one point in the second half, he said, okay, this thing can happen. I didn't I never thought Yukon was going to win the game. I was just trying to cover the five points to him. And hopefully we could get there with the one underdog over the weekend. That was an all-time bad beat if you had Duke on the money line or Duke futures. It is going to be it's going to go down in history as one of the I think five most memorable shots in NCA tournament all-time history. And I still can't believe it. I would say last night two hours after the game. I can't believe what we just watched. How did Duke lose that game? Epic choke job. Back to back years is deep in the tournament for Duke. Yeah, you could argue even three years in a row if you go back to the NC state game, but not as nearly as devastating as blowing a double digit lead in the second half of the final four and becoming the first one seed to ever squander a 15 point lead at half time.

One seeds in NCAA tournament history prior to yesterday were 134 and oh, it is now 134 and one. The Yukon Huskies moving on and the run for Dan Hurley. Now it looked like regardless of the booster pass getting over those two defenders or not, it would have been another cover for Hurley. The covering machine that is Dan Hurley as he is now what 17 and one over his last 18 games against the spread. I mean, you want to he sent a last night to Yukon culture. We believe we're going to win this time of year and I just hate to bet against this guy in the tournament. So I bet on Yukon three times in this tournament and it's paid off all three times. One time Yukon did not cover was in the first round as a big favorite. And I believe Chris Masero who is a co-leader of our circuit college hoop challenge did bet against you comment that game. So that was his best bet if I remember correctly. It's been I think it's been a great tournament up to this point.

If anyone says that hasn't lived up to the hype, I think they're dead wrong. Yesterday, I know that it was kind of tough viewing because the first game yesterday Tennessee Michigan was a joke absolute joke. I mean Rick Barnes should retire after that debacle yesterday. But the second game was an all-time great. And you know, you can't always get what you want, but you get one all-time great game in a weekend. That's pretty damn good. I had in my bracket before the tournament. St. Johnson Houston, out of the left side. Obviously it's Yukon and Illinois. Out of the right side Michigan and Arizona. I think a lot of people have those one seeds out of the right side. And we could have an all-time great game Saturday between the Wolverines and the Wildcats and Indianapolis. It delivered in Washington DC. How about the three games we got in the nation's capital, Matt? The epic game to wrap things up on the elite eight, 73 72 Yukon gets the win. And then the Friday night games Duke and St. John's was great 80 to 75.

Duke comes back. Erases a double digit deficit in that game. And then Yukon, Michigan state 67 to 63 Matt Norlander of CBS Sports pointed to the Saudi said, get this. It's the only regional to ever have three games decided by five points or fewer and include a game winning shot in the final second. And that's hard to believe. I would say the nation's capital delivered. All the regional's over the years. That's the first one to have all three games decided by five points or fewer and and and a game winning shot in the last second. Railroad. It's funny when I went three and oh in that regional. Did you? Yeah, you had St. John's. St. John's Yukon over Michigan state and then obviously Yukon plus five yesterday against Duke. I went oh and two. I tried to get cute and play some unders and neither one of those. The two games that went over Matt. I knew the Yukon Duke game was toast when neither one of those teams could miss out of the jump. So I did bet it at the under 12 media timeout. I got 148 and a half under. But that was one of my plays

in the circuit college hoops challenge. Speaking of which, as you mentioned, our buddy, Chris Miserro now tied for first with last year's champ Paul Stone. Paul Stone's our buddy. He's also too. Paul is also our buddy. 26 points for both Miserro and Stone and with three bets left and two best bets. So four total points on the line. The madman has a 24 17 and one record. He's three and three on his best bets. Paul Stone 25 and 17, but only two and four on his best bets. Ken Thompson 23 18 and one the same record as me, but I can't pick a best bet if I fell over one. So I'm one and five on my best bets. Matt, your best bets are pulling you up 23 and a half points for you five and one on your best bets. Tim, if we could have combined for an entry and you use my best bets being first place, we'd be doing pretty darn well. If only that were, if only were that easy, a prime time standing selection would be. I mean, those are solid records. They're

not spectacular records, but this tournament can be tough, man. You take a few bad beats or you get a lucky win like you had with you kind of last night. It's a roller coaster ride. No doubt about it. Chris Masero circumfriety football eventational champ trying to win. We'll sweep both tournaments. They're called to double crown. Have you called the trophy shop yet? Yeah, I told him to put his name on both trophies. Yeah, but I mean, look, we love Paul. Not as well. We love Paul, but I mean, this thing is, it's locked up from a series. He sent me a text yesterday. He's going to go three and oh this weekend. So I said, total 80 Judy and Vegas trophies put Chris Masero's name on both trophies. I want to be nice enough to our buddy Chris and Paul hooked it up for everyone. I was out of town, but invited everyone up to his suite at stadium swim. Now the question is, does the madman go berries or stadium swim with his thousand dollars? I don't have to ask him. He'll be on, I'm sure he'll be on the show before the end of the season Friday or Monday night. You know why we're going to try to get a dom to mark those pizza party in here next Monday night. How about

that? It's been a while. Sounds great to me. I mean, you know, anytime you say dom to marcos and pizza, I'm, I'm all on board. So if you want to make it happen for the national championship, that would be great. Speaking of which, Illinois right now, a two point favorite here at circa, juice two and a half. If you want to take the points with Yukon at Draft Kings and Fandule, Michigan, Arizona right now, Michigan, a one and a half point favorite at most sports books. The Westgate Superbook has a two. Matt, have you bet either one of these final four games yet? I have not. And I'm not exactly sure I'm going to play here. I want to kind of take the temperature of the public and read the room this week. You know, I hate to bet against Yukon. And I have the, I have a bad feeling that Yukon is going to be a very public dog this week. But they worry yesterday. Yeah, I think there was some two way action on that. I would say St. John's was a very pop public, a public dog on Friday night. And that was a relatively

comfortable cover. If you took the points there was St. John's. So the public dog was not, was not that ugly, at least on Friday night. Well, we'll break down this game in depth throughout the week and talk about it tonight. I've got a lot to say about the Illinois can add to get match up. Also in the second game, yeah, I'm going with Michigan. But I've been with, I've been on Michigan from the start. This is a battle of heavy weights here. If I wish it were a best of five series, right? Like an NBA playoff series, we could get best, best of seven might be too much. But can we get best of five? That would be great. I'm going to play the Wolverines because of their front line here. But that's as good as it gets. And that's exactly what I made the line to. I thought it was going to be Michigan one and a half. Yeah, I do see a two out there, but pretty much it's one and a half painted across the board. So I don't disagree with the number. I'm not seeing you're getting an edge with the number. I've just kind of planted my flag in the Michigan side a while back and I'm going to stay there. Yeah, you think maybe ping pong is a little bit, but probably one one and a half is where we stick.

And that'll be the nightcap of the final four before we get to our game of the night. What do we have in store for you? How about this show tonight coming up? My ginger brother also part of the circa college hoops challenge. He also cannot hit a best bet for his life. So he will join us. Will Hill, 22 19 and one great MLB handicap or as well. The latest from behind the counter with Johnny Avello. He'll join us at eight o'clock Eastern, the professor, Aaron Moore, who was not thrilled. He had both Iowa and Duke over the weekend was not thrilled by losing both of those bets. I'll tell you what, if you had Iowa and Duke and I had Iowa and that was a tough one to deal with, too, because you felt like it right. So if you had Iowa and Duke, go down to the bar in a corner and have a few shots of whiskey. This is a stack show tonight. Will Hill, Johnny Avello, the professor, Matt McCall and Brian Butch. All right. Last hour, how about that? Matt McCall and Brian Butch in the final hour of the program. Matt, let's get to our game of the night. Won't take place until a little bit later on this evening, but we'll talk about it right now.

Well, Matt, you can already start hearing me complain about my Washington nationals who went to Wrigley Field over the weekend. One, two of three and then the Chicago white socks went to Milwaukee and got swept. So good start for my win totals. But let's get to Yankees Mariners. We're going to make this our game of the night. 940 Eastern first pitch out in Seattle T-Mobile Park. And right now the Yankees with a weather's on the hill, column minus 116 favorite, a slight favorite over Seattle. Yeah, we're not going to have time to get into this game in depth right now, because we're getting to the break. But Will Hill is going to be on with us right after the break, and he's got a bet on this game. Got a bet on Ryan Weather's prop. Will Hill and I both Yankees fans and they're off to a great start. 3-0 against Giants and a Bay area over the weekend. 13-1 Yankees outscored to Giants in that series. And they've gotten great pitching across the board. Offense

has been good enough. Aaron Judge off the decent start with a couple of home runs. Bunch of strikeouts early, but the Yankees move up the coast to Seattle to start this series tonight. And Dustin Sweetleson, way in the prize for the Yankees. Got a good number though. Late of my buck. 05 and now if the minus 115, Will Hill, he'll join us next. We're up and running. It is V-Sib.

These sports betting network. Vsend prime time. We keep it rolling here on this Tuesday. Monday. Monday. Monday. It's trying to speed things up so we can get to the final four faster, man. Jumping days here. It's Monday now. I thought you were trying to speed things up to get to the crown. College basketball tournament here in Vegas. It starts Monday. Wednesday night. Are you going to be out there? I'm planning to go Wednesday night. MGM Grand Garden. Oklahoma is going to be one of the teams out there and I think circus involved in this tournament as well. We know circus involved in this tournament and I went out last year. I thought it was pretty cool. That's one of my favorite college basketball venues. MGM Grand Garden and it's obviously not going to be a packed house. You can pretty much find any seats you want

in the arena, but I like that tournament last year. Playing to go Wednesday night. Remind me, we should we should book our buddy, your buddy, Tim Brando tomorrow on the show. He's going to be out here calling the game. Timmy B told us, yeah, when he was on the show with this couple of weeks ago, he's going to be out in Vegas this week and he wanted to stop in circus and have dinner at berries. So I guess we should check it. We can make that happen, have him come in studio. All right, let's get to our progressive guest line and welcome in. Our good friend, Will Hill. Of course, contributor here to Vyson. First ever, circa college hoops champion, Will Hill joins us right now on the phone. Will, before we dive into college hoops, you do have some thoughts on our Vyson prime time game of the night as the Yankees take on the Mariner Ryan Weathers will be on the hill for the unbeaten Yankees and you're looking at a pitching prop for him. Yeah, what's going on guys? Thanks for having me. I did play Weathers. You can get over five and a half at plus money shop around. You can find some various numbers, but Mariners are already up to their old tricks in terms of striking out.

They struck out 11 times per game already this year, four games, 44 strikeouts. Last year, the fourth most strikeouts in baseball Weathers. I don't know a lot of upside. You know, I'm hard on the Yankees a lot and rightfully so, but they do a good job developing pitchers and Weathers. It was a big time arm. Old enough to remember when his dad was a mineral lever for the Yankees, but a lot of upside and a pretty good spring training in the Mariner's strikeout lots. I think Weathers can get to the six plus case here tonight. It's Will Hill joining us from the Subway in New York. Sound like you're in a tunnel. Where are you today? I'm home. I'm not that far from where I do the show. I'm good service. I don't know. Okay, that's fine. Nathy Will Hill was just glad we can hear your voice tonight. So Yankees beat the Giants 13 to 1 over the weekend in three games. You and I watch all these Yankees games closely. You're not going to draw any solid conclusions at this point, but so far, what I see will is Yankees line up. It's going to strike out way too many times through the first three games. 29 strikeouts, including seven by Aaron Judge,

only eight walks, 25 hits so far. Judge hit a couple of homers over the weekend. Any concern for you when you look at the Yankees offense and a high number of strikeouts, you just talked about that with Seattle. Yeah, I always have concern with them. I just don't think they have enough around judge. I feel like that's played the Aaron Judge error. The one exception was the year they had Juan Soto and you had Judge and you had Soto and Stan had a great postseason that year, and you could cover up a lot of blemishes when you have those two or three guys. Now with no Soto, all right, Belonger is a good player, but to me, they're pretty simple. If Judge is going to be healthy and Max Green's going to be healthy, they're going to be good enough to make the playoffs. They want you to get the playoffs. Who knows? I don't look at them as like a championship level team, the best team. To me, they're going to be what they've always been, low 90s, mid 90s in terms of wins in terms of everything goes well, but they need judge to be healthy. They need free to be healthy, but to me, it's still a team with them holding on in it. How do you feel about the pitching staff? Our guy, Kim Svetler, got off their great start, and I think, I mean, that could be a big piece of the Yankees need behind Garrett Cole, right?

Absolutely. He looks like the real deal. I can't believe he got the 300 to one at the West Gate. That is one hell of a bet. You got on them, obviously, a long way to go, and it's still unlikely to get home, but man, talking about picking off a good number. He's the real deal. He's not afraid to challenge a strike zone, the fastball we saw when he did against the Red Sox in the playoffs. He's got a little, you know, bravado to him. He's not afraid of the moment. You know, in New York, he's not going to get overlooked in terms of the awards, things like that with the height and the publicity. So they, uh, they look like they got a, a really good pitcher with Schwittler eventually get cold back eventually get rolled on back. Pitching should be pretty good, but, uh, it's still the Yankees with Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman. There'll still plenty of questions, but they do have really good pitching. Don't forget about arms. Don't forget about how? How Steinbrinner Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone, the three stages. All right. Matt, what do you call Aaron Boone? It's been a while. Oh boy. Oh, that's right. That's right. I, uh, I can't criticize him right now. It's three and oh, Tim. So off they're good starting so far. We'll just, we'll give you, we'll give you time for the criticism. Well, anything else on the

baseball board tonight that you consider to get Red Sox at Astros. In addition to the Yankees Mariners game in the A.L. And the, um, interleague matchups got angels, Cubs, Tigers, Dbacks, Guardian Stodgers, anything else that you played tonight on the board? I like the Red Sox. Comedia Astros are a play against team and, you know, as the Yankee fan is the team that terrorized the Yankees for the better part of a decade, but that's not the same team anymore. The Koreas and Braggmen and Springer's and you know, two ways not in his pride. To me, you look at that lineup. There's a lot of unfamiliar names. I like Ranger Swarris and the pitcher. I like Cory the manager. I think the Red Sox are a little undervalued here. To me, the, the Astros are going to be team. I'll be looking to play against all season. All right. Astros right now. Excuse me, the Red Sox right now, around $1.25 favorite on the road at Houston tonight. Will Hill joining us courtesy of our progressive guest line. Will we've got four teams left as we all know in college basketball and you live in the great state of Connecticut, where I'm sure they are slightly

excited about the current form of hoops as the women and men are both in the final four early thoughts on this line. Illinois will call them a two point favorite, but if you want to pay some juice, you can get two and a half UConn catching a couple points here on Saturday night. I can't believe that ball went in. I still can't believe that game ended the way it did almost 24 hours later. I'm still in shock. What an unbelievable game. How could you bet against UConn? Maybe it's square. Maybe it's overly simplistic, but this is Danny Hurley now. What's 17 out of 18 in the tournament? All, you know, in terms of covers in terms of wins. They survived that horrible shooting night, at least to start one of 18 from three. They be Illinois already. I'm surprised. I don't think this two and a half a last. I wouldn't be surprised if we close around to pick them. To me, it is UConn or past. I'm probably not going to bet it because I've got some UConn futures, which are miraculously and I mean miraculously still alive. But to me, this would be Huskies or nothing. Yeah, I've got UConn futures still alive too. Like you said, miraculously, it looked like they were going to be dead. You remember the first meeting between these teams this season, right? Well,

and then the civil and the way team you could argue is more talented, maybe the new con. But again, and the civil and the way team is also pretty young. It was a new team early in the season when these teams played. Does that first meeting mean anything to you or mean much of anything to you when you handicap this one? No, but I'll have to go back and look at pretty sure Illinois didn't shoot the three well. I'll have to go back and look at the box or things like that, but six of 29. Okay. Yeah. So I mean, that means something. But remember, you're playing in Indianapolis, which you could make the case big 10 country. These big 10 teams will have a little bit of a home court advantage, a slight one. But remember, you're playing in big venues where shooting is always going to be tough. And who do you like that are in terms of an inside game? I like UConn with Reed and not relying on the shooters as much. And you figure, boy, if mowing, if you're ever going to get a monkey off your back and just relax and have a good rest of the tournament, that would be the kind to do it. But no, to me, it's UConn. I don't put too much into the first game. But I mean, you got a team that won the first meeting by 11. Now you're catching points with them with everything else they've done in these tournaments. It's, uh, to me, it's hard to look past UConn here.

Yeah. That was November 28th, UConn 174 61. And that game was played at Madison Square Garden. This one's going to be an Indianapolis. Dean Woggler only played 14 minutes tonight. Yeah. This is a different Illinois team now that it was in. All right. One before we let you run, and obviously we'll get thoughts on this from you will as the week goes on. But the heavyweight matchup is the nightcap of the final four Michigan, Arizona top two teams per Ken Palm. And right now you have Michigan as a slight favorite minus one and a half money line right now, around $1.22 to $1.30. Any early thoughts on Michigan, Arizona in the finale of the final four. This is one hell of a game, isn't it? I think it was big cat between every time I watched Arizona play. I think they're the best team. And then a couple hours later, I watched Michigan and I think they're the best team. I think that's pretty well put. It's hard to separate these teams. I would just take the point of half with Arizona. I guess I would say they're a touch, much better. You probably prefer May over Lloyd Boyah. There's not

a huge advantage. Whoever you're betting here, man, there's not a lot that separates these teams. These are about as dead evening. You get lightest lead to Arizona. Well, always appreciate it. And best of luck. Imagine Connecticut as a buzz right now with what we saw unfold yesterday. Yeah, some furniture promotions here were both the men and the women make it. They give away free furniture, but there you go. Before March 1st or whatever. So I did not get it on them. Well, appreciate it. Well, talk to you soon. There he is. Will Hill plays tonight. He likes Ryan Weathers over five and a half strikeouts, which you can get at plus money. And he also likes the Red Sox. That game coming up at the top of the hour Red Sox on the road against the Houston Astros. Matt Red Sox right now around $1.25 favorite against the Houston Astros. Yeah, I have not bet much baseball so far. Only a couple bets. And I have a watch really a lot of it because of the cow soups of the weekend. How about you? Every time I would come to Washington

nationals are winning. Yeah, we need to, I mean, I'm a little conflict because I'm a Nats fan, but I also bet them to go under their wind total. So let's this team's going to be over by the fourth of July. I mean, I'm going to bet I'm going to win the damn world series. They're on fire. I got a head out of this under 65 and a half win ticket. Five nothing, by the way, nationals on top of the Philadelphia Phillies Phillies. What a bunch of bumps. That's Matt Eufens. I'm Tim Murray. What did we see on Sunday evening in DC? We'll talk about it next. This is Vincent Prime Time on Vsend, the sports betting network. It is Vincent Prime time alongside Matt humans. I am Tim Murray got MLB games going all across.

We've got NBA action about to ramp up tonight. One game underway. Philly and Miami, Boston and Atlanta about to start here in 10 minutes. So busy nights and we'll continue to get you ready for the final four. What a weekend. It was all time. Classic closing out the elite eight Yukon from 19 down in the first half down 15 and a half time battles all the way back and one of the more epic shots that will have forever, Matt elite eight game winner four tenths of a second left on the clock after the shot is made from Braylon Mullins and Yukon onto the final four for the third time in four years. Eighth time, I believe since 1999, Yukon's won five championships really. The most dominant program in college hoops of the last 25 plus years, 20, I guess we could say 27 years. By the way, we got a best bettler. Uncle Lou Finicaro from Phoenix, the fight doctor,

Jackson, under five first five debacks and tigers tonight. And that's a Verlander in Soroka that game is in Phoenix starts at 7 10 PM first pitch. So under five first five from Uncle Lou. Late night game down in Arizona as the unbeatable nationals remain up five nothing man over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies look like the gnats right now. The way they're playing out there on the turf. One final already today, the Kansas City Royals opening day in Kansas City. And they win three to one as a minus one 65 favorite over the Minnesota 20. I said a couple of years ago, I was not going to bet baseball win totals anymore because it aggravates you all summer and you follow the same teams all summer. And I said, I'm done. So last year, I didn't bet any. And this year, I bet three. And I'm already aggravated by the Washington nationals over achieving. And the A's haven't won a game yet. I played the A's over,

played the royals over the Darroff the poor start. I'm not going to get ticked off about it yet. But what's up with the nationals? I don't know, Matt. I don't know. They'll fall back in 2008, I believe it was. Yeah, 2008, Matt, they started three, you know, and they still ended up as the worst team in baseball. So they'll, they'll come back down to earth as they now lead six nothing over the Philadelphia Phillies. I also bet the white socks over their win total. They got swept over the weekend, gave up six runs in the eighth inning. Christian Yelich first career pinch hit home run to wrap up that six run comeback in the eighth inning and absolutely tattooed it at American family financial field. All right. On to what we saw over this weekend as we continue to look ahead to the final format and we'll get some thoughts and some sound on on Michigan in just a little bit. But this Yukon come back, Matt. Man, they just kept chipping away all throughout

the game and find a way on a turnover that let's be honest is probably going to haunt Caden Booser for the rest of his life as two Yukon players coming at him. He could just hold it, get fouled. Probably makes full free throws. You're in good shape. Tries to throw it over their head. It doesn't get there. And as we all know, how it all unfolded. But, you know, a couple of things that I that stuck out to me and, you know, talking to Will Hill about it as his initial lean seems to be with Yukon. The caravan three, obviously the Mullins three will always be remembered. But the caravan three to me was so impressive, Matt, because he was what over five prior to that, he could not hit anything throughout that game. But the veteran that he is, they kept sticking with them. They drew up a beautiful play to get him a look. And that three, it really felt like at that point, I was like, you know, Yukon might be able to do this thing. That three kind of to 70,

69. Yeah. And Caravan at that. That was by the way, his fifth point of the game. He had two points up to before he buried that three to make it 70, 69. Couldn't hit a shot. But, you know, he had the guts to take a big one there. I had to take it really just no time to think about it, right? Your team needs it. Your open fire. Caravan hits, cuts it to one. And I will say this about the last play. John Shire, I don't think instructed his team to do the right thing. Did you see the the camera of that was specifically on Shire at the end? Yeah. He was telling boozer. He was waving down like throw the ball down the court. You saw him waving like, and no, that's not what you want to do. Boozer got to hold the ball. Get fouled. Don't throw it down the court. Well, he tried to throw it down the court. He did have two guys down there wide open, but he couldn't get it. Well, I got tipped, stolen. And that ends up costing you the game. So I don't think they went over the end of game scenarios as thoroughly as they should have. And you can put that on John Shire.

But, um, you know, he did have a timeout left too. So there was 10 seconds left and duken bounded the ball after the made free throw. That was by Silas dimmery, right? Yep. He made the second miss the first made the second. Yep. 10 seconds left. You got a timeout. Do you use the timeout there until you guys exactly what they need to do? Or do you save the timeout in case the guy gets trapped in the corner? And you need that timeout to make yourself out of a tight situation. I think I save it because it could be the five second, you know, situation. If you're getting down to it, your player calls a timeout. So I don't have an issue with that. But to your point about John Shire, he absolutely did. He was waving it. I mean, you could nitpick it every which possible way. I agree. I think you hold the ball. You get fouled. You go to the free throw line. You're going to make, I think they were at the time they were in the double bonus. So you're going to make at least one of those two you'd think, maybe you make both, you win the game, the game is locked up. Yes, there were two Duke players wide open down the floor. But what good does it do you if you can't get the pass over the defenders, which is what

exactly happens? Obviously, he should have jumped and got that pass very high in the air. You know, and I know that coaches go over that scenarios with their teams all the time. But he's a freshman, you know, he's going to make a mistake. And a lot of people would make that type of mistake in that sort of situation under the pressure. No, it's a panic situation for both sides. So I thought there were a lot of overreactions about fire, John Shire. And I know this three three years of road that the blue devils have gone down in the NCAA tournament in a bad way. But it was 35 and three this season, but the three losses by total of five points. I don't think you can fire him. No, I'm not firing John Shire. We were over to Westgate sportsbook last night. There was a guy Paul who's in the sportsbook and he bet on Duke and he's ticked off. He's like, get a fire in that coach. Fire, John, I said, look, man, you're not going to get your money back from the bet you lost if they fire in tomorrow. If it makes you feel better, if they fire,

you don't get the money back. And you can't fire a coach. So you can't fire a coach, you just went 35 and three in the last three games by total of five points, can you? Especially when he's a former Duke player. He's had three good years. He's had three tough tournament losses. Who are you hiring? Jay Wright got off to a, I'll say a poor start in the post season when he was in Villanova. But what do we remember? We remember how he finished. You know who got off to a pretty slow start? Coach K. Coach K and Duke. They were talks about the hey, he can't win the big one. I know. Got blown out by 30 to UNLV in 1990. Look, I'm, uh, I understand it, but nobody wants to be patient anymore. And those are three really bad losses. You can be ticked off, but you can't fire the coach over that situation. How about this from a draft Kings? We're going to talk to Johnny Avello. In 2024, the loss to NC State when they had a nine point lead in that game. That was a bad loss. Minus 920 was the peak on the live line. Last year in the final four, when they had a

14 point lead with eight minutes to go, a six point lead with 35 seconds to go. Matt, did you have any futures on Duke? I did. Last year. Okay. I wasn't sure. Um, got this year. Minus. I didn't have any of this year. 1000. They were minus 100,000 a year ago against Houston. And then yesterday at draft Kings, the peak on the live line, minus 4800. So yeah, I mean, look, you can criticize John Shire. And I was listening to a podcast today that said, uh, the host said, there's, there's nothing that brings the country together more than Duke losing. He said, everybody seems to enjoy when Duke squanders a lead. And I had no really a dog in the fight. My under was already blown up. So I didn't really care how the game ultimately played out, but all time finish. No doubt, Matt. And now we get Yukon in the final four. One more thing about Duke. So last year at this time, I had a bunch of futures on Duke. And I felt like it sold my soul

because I was really rooting for Duke to win the whole thing, right? Got a question what you're doing in life when you're sitting there rooting for Duke to win the national championship because I got a cast these tickets. But I really thought that team was Cooper flagged and current couldn't pull that five NBA draft picks on. That's one of the most talented teams we've seen in recent times. Those guys are going to be one two in the I don't know. Rookie of the year. I thought that team had to win the national championship. It didn't. They came up short. So I said, look, if they can't, if Shire can't win it with those guys, I'm not betting Duke futures this year. So at least I did not invest anymore in the blue devils this year when they went down in a dramatic style last night. I do have Yukon 16 to one. So I cannot believe we're alive with the Yukon futures. If you're not on profit X yet, now is the time, folks. Sign up by April 6th. Purchase at least 25 bucks and get a free $25.

I'm Tim Murray. Matt on the road to 67 wins, baby. White socks up eight nothing now over the undefeated Miami Marlins. If you had the Miami Marlins going undefeated, 162 and oh, it's not looking great right now as they are down eight to nothing. How about the start for the blue jays, Yankees, Marlins, brewers swept the white socks and shocking the Dodgers. Those are your five undefeated teams. How about the Dodgers? They fall

behind every night but come back to win and we tough to bet. It's just you want to bet against the Dodgers and some of these spots and then they fall behind two oh and you think you're on. I picked the right night to play the dog then they come back and win five two. I have not bet against the Dodgers yet but they're going to be tough to beat. Unless they get some injuries like they had last year. They had a bunch of injuries. The Dodgers team is going to win 105 games or something in that neighborhood. That's the way it looks so far. I'm I'm looking it up right now. I'm curious. They already have a two game lead in the division. Pretty soon we're going to look at this division and the Rockies and Giants going to be like 28 games back Dodgers 3 and 0 16 to 8. Outscored the debax in the three games so far. I think they trailed in all three games. I'm not sure if they trailed in the third game but they won three two five four and eight two so far. Minus six fifty the current odds for them to win

the NL West match. They are already two games up on the Padres and as you alluded to three winless teams in the NL West to start the season diamond backed Rockies. It is notable that you know Dodgers are big favorites every night and I know some people say well play them on the run line. Well, if you played them on if you laid one and a half runs, you're actually one and two on that bet so far because they got two run one one run wins five four and three two. Tonight the Dodgers are minus 180 favorites against the Guardians late night start. By the way, you want to pass across the bet that Uncle Lou just said into you once again a late night bet from Lou Finacaro. Arizona Diamondbacks take it on the Detroit Tigers just in Verlander versus Michael Soroka and he's got to play on the first five in that game. Obviously Uncle Lou thinks Verlander is going to give the Tigers quality start tonight but he's got under first five in Dbacks Tigers that game starts in Phoenix. Have a little over two hours away 7 10 PM first

pits tonight in Phoenix under five first five for Lou Finacaro. Late night game there. He did say modest wager so it's not like his biggest bet of the week. And then Will Hill said lay every penny that you have on the Boston Red Sock. No, I'm just kidding. He did like the Red Socks though 8 10 first pitch. Suarez versus McCullough's Red Socks a slight road favorite there. He also likes Ryan Weathers over his strikeouts tonight. Matt, we got Michigan and Arizona. I know a lot of people anticipated this coming out of their the bracket when the when everything unfolded. Both these teams looked very bit the part their way through. Man, can I tell a little story? Hey, man. Yeah, plenty of time. So sure. So sitting there best bet in the circuit college hoops challenge was Purdue. So it's half time. It's 3831. 3831, Matt. Going pretty good. And yeah, you know, hey, we're

Purdue. We're catching six up seven. Best bet. That's also a good time to lay six with Arizona in the second probably would have been a very good time to get off of that bet. But I'm sitting there. Well, I mean, you could have won both bets. I know. I actually laid six with Arizona at half time because I thought they're going to come back and probably win this game. But I thought they'd come back Arizona. Come back and win the game by three, four, five, a tight game. Did not see that second half blowout coming. So I get a text message from a good buddy of mine. Name. Well, we'll leave it. We'll leave it to the side here. But a good buddy of mine. We talk gambling a lot. I'd say I give him some some advice when he tells me he likes some square favorite. Oh my gosh. He goes and I quote Purdue might win it all. And I my immediate response to my good buddy who is no longer a friend. I actually deleted him from my phone. I said never call me again. My immediate response was easy mush. Let's get this one home. Yeah. And then I

responded about five minutes later. Arizona on a 20 to seven run to start the second half. And as we all know, it all fell apart there. Arizona wins by 15 wins by the second half by 22. Easy second half bet for you though. Man on that minus six. I had some Arizona money line, but I had Purdue plus six in the game too. I actually thought they were going to hang in there and give the cats all they can handle. And they did for a half. And they cut second half got blown out. I think Braden Smith point guard ran out of gas. You can see. Just didn't have it in the second half. Half time was worth saying to happen Purdue to Purdue and that game. That everything going their way going to half come out. It's totally different game. Purdue finishes 39 preseason number one team gets to the lead eight comes up short against Arizona. Not a big surprise there. When you get this deep in the tournament, a lot of times you're going to have to have an NBA guy or a couple of NBA guys and Purdue doesn't have that Arizona does. And that's what's going to be I think so fascinating about this Arizona Michigan matchup. You got you got NBA guys on the floor in this game. And I'm not going to go as far as to say that this is the national championship

game. I know I've heard some people say that already. It's tempting to look at Michigan and Arizona who we've felt like have alternated between being the top team in college basketball for a while and say, well, the winner of this game is going to be the national champ. I am not going to say that to him because the winner of this game is going to have to survive a hell of a battle, right? And then come back two nights later and do it again. So this game could take a lot out of the winner. And that's why I'm not going to say it's a title game. The size for these two teams is immense. And it is going to be a ton of fun to watch this game. I think you said you set the number at where the market's at. I know you and I both got tweeted over the weekend. Hey, what's this line going to be? My guess was Michigan one and it's been bet up to one and a half two. But Wally's Urbiac over at CBS Sports had some thoughts on this Michigan team following their 33 point dismantling of Tennessee. They were up 22 and a half crews to a 33 point win. Looked reminiscent to what they did to teams in Vegas right around Thanksgiving. Here's Wally's

Urbiac on the Michigan Wolverines. 95 points in every single game, sheer domination from start to finish. This team looks completely unbeatable and he's elevated his game since the loss in the big 10 tournament championship to Purdue to a new level. The aggressiveness is there. The handles are there. The creativity is there. Oh, by the way, the defense has always been there and it's even better. This guy is an absolute cyborg. He's playing like a cyborg. He's playing his best basketball of the year. And this Michigan team is flat out scary because they dismantled a pretty good Tennessee basketball team. I want to correct you on something there, Wally. They did not score 95 points in every single game. They scored 90 against Alabama because the team total was 91 and a half and I bet over and somehow that didn't get home. I imagine that. The one game they don't get there is get out of them. Yeah, of course. Everybody thought they would get there. The actual end of board was a player. Wally ball was talking about right there in the actual end of board. I remember you and I were talking last year about this time and I said if

he goes into the NBA draft, he should be a lottery pick. And you said in response, he's not going to be a lottery pick. I said, but he should be. I think he should be because this guy's future is upright. If you look at the guy with that sort of size who can do pretty much everything on the floor, I thought he should have been a top 15 pick in the last years NBA draft. And when he announced he was transferring to Michigan, I was like, watch out Michigan, just get a hell of a transfer right there. Dusty May knows what he's doing. Man, he put together a bunch of transfers from different schools, put them together right away. The pieces fit and Michigan was dominant by late November. And now this team is playing great and they're going to need to play great against Saturday night to be Arizona because co-opied Braden Burries, Jaden Bradley. Man, that team is going to be tough to handle. Both these teams are worthy of a national championship, right? Both these teams can hang a banner. But you still got to survive this game and survive Monday night

to get there. It's not going to be easy. The West Coast trying to win an NCAA championship for the first time since 1997. The last time Arizona did it. And the big 10 trying to win one for the first time since 2000 when Michigan state did it. So you got some of that on the line in this Arizona Michigan game. I said, I decided a while ago that Michigan was going to be the team. I was going to roll with nothing to change my mind. I'm not saying lane one or one and a half as a bargain. That's exactly what I think the line should be. And this is going to be a back-and-forth game Saturday night that's going to be it should be a classic. I find it really hard to believe to him that either of these teams is going to pull away and win by a margin. It seems like it's got to be a down to the wire time. I hope so. And I hope so. I mean, these are they've proven it to be the two best teams in college basketball. They seem to be the most dominant. Florida had a run Duke certainly looked the part at times beat Michigan in that neutral site game a couple of weeks ago. But these are the two best teams. We don't get them in the title game, but we get them in the final four. It should be a hell of a game. And hopefully it's a competitive

one. Speaking of which, we're down to the final stretch of college hoops. It's a great time to stay on top of every bet.
