It is V-S-N Prime Time alongside Matt Newman.

1:00I'm Tim Murray. I got a couple of conference championships at the break as the sixth seed in the Southern Conference Firmament right now. A 42-35 lead over East Tennessee state live number at draft kings three and a half. Here in Vegas, stations casino had a five and a half. I took that with East Tennessee state plus the five and a half. And then Troy leading Georgia Southern 38-25 NBA action tonight, Matt. A pretty good one just underway. Nuggets at the thunder and how about Denver? Out to a 29-17 lead on the Oklahoma City Thunder five and change to go. Draft kings has that number line Denver minus three and a half. And speaking of Draft King sportsbook, Matt, how about we find out a little bit more about what is going on at DK right now? That's the money going. Let's go behind the counter.

2:21minus five 25. How is this game being bet and overall? How is the WBC bet for you guys? It's overall it's good. It's it's bet pretty good. This particular game, the only way that the US has been bet in this game is the US going from the money line to other parlays for the night. There's no one betting. There's no one laying to five and I can't say no one, but you know, there's not a lot of big money on laying it. Most of the little actions on Mexico to win the game straight up. The three and a half laying, the three and a half taking the three and a half, we got pretty much good balance on that all around. So no real hazard there. So I don't know where we're going to stand what the US if they win the game with that bet going to other other types of bets, you know, other money lines and other spreads throughout the night and even some stuff tomorrow.

3:21But I could tell you that Mexico's taking the majority of the money line bets. Are you getting a decent amount of betting on the World Baseball Classic? Are you watching the games yourself? I haven't been mad at what we are taking a decent amount of money. I just been really busy to last week or so. I haven't had I haven't had time to watch the WBC. Well, we got a lot to talk about here. A lot of sports to cover. Let's get to the NFL and if you've followed social media or watched the NFL network today, the Raiders or the Hot Topic, a bunch of major moves made in the NFL today. Johnny Raiders making a bunch of moves and free agency, anything that's moved the needle in terms of futures odds based on what's happened here over the weekend. The Ravens dropped a little bit over the weekend plus 9.50 and we know why. I mean, they do give up quite a bit, but they get something short term two or three years

4:23that could help their team immensely. So they dropped to plus 9.50 from, I think they were about 12, 12 or 13. The chiefs just dropped a little bit. They were a little bit higher. So we're seeing some plan of chiefs and that's not unusual for us to take chief money. Maybe it's the price, you know, the chiefs to be 16, 18 to one. That's very unusual to see the chiefs that high and so maybe the feeling is I'm going to get the higher price now because the chiefs won't be that they're in a regular season. Lions have taken a little bit of money this week. And it's kind of spread out. So yeah, not a lot out there that's moving, you know, a couple of, a couple of things that happened during the weekend, moved a bit, but not much today. I see that has really changed. Yeah. Raiders, stillers maybe dropped a little too. Steelers were 60, not a down to 45. That's interesting. I don't see a lot of positives with the Pittsburgh Steelers right now,

5:26but the Ravens pick up Max Cosby from the Raiders. The chiefs pick up running back Kenneth Walker from the Seahawks two of the big moves to talk about over the last few days and the NFL. All right, Tim, I didn't really think they were going to be, you don't really see Super Bowl futures movement much of a base on off of what's what some of these moves and create to see you will see the win totals may be impacted by a half win or a win sometimes of a team like the Raiders are making a bunch of moves. You know, Johnny, when you look at a couple other teams, just curious that made some trades, the bills go out. They get DJ more. They go up a second round picking the Rams make a big splash as they traded for Trent McDuffy. So I know Max Cosby's move was was big. And you mentioned from 12 down to plus 950. What about the Rams and the bills? Any movement on those two moves by those teams? Yeah, there actually is. I mean, the Rams were nine, nine to one. They were right there with the Seahawks. So they dropped the tick and the bills were maybe 11 10. Yeah, I think the

6:28bills were 11. So they're down to 10. So yeah, there's a little bit of movement there also. Johnny Avello joining us here courtesy of our progressive guest line. All right, Johnny, it's that time of year. It's March Madness. We've got conference tournaments. Those odds are up right now. We have conference championship games going on. You know, as just looking at the big picture before we dive into kind of the nitty gritty right now when you look at the futures market, Duke is your favorite at plus 320 Michigan, not too far behind plus 340 Arizona plus 450. And Florida has been that steady mover as they were down to plus 750. I mean, it wasn't that long ago. I think you guys had them up around 1718 to one right now in the futures market as we have wrapped up the regular season. Johnny, how have you guys been booking the futures market? Yeah, you know, if you're right, you're mentioned Florida. I mean, it's been a steady drop for this team and the and the bettors continue to play them. And of course, you know, they didn't know how to win a

7:30championship and seems like everything's coming together now for them. Duke has taken some money throughout the entire year, but never was an extremely high price. Arizona and Michigan both were much higher prices. So you could have had both of those teams, especially Arizona. Arizona was in a 35 to 41 range. So there were certainly some good prices out there. The rest of the future book is kind of flat. You know, the youth didn't say Illinois is Ucons, Iowa State, just Michigan State Kansas. Those teams just aren't in the interest of the general public right now. So I would say that there's just not a lot of interest in anyone at this point, except for those top four. Johnny, we've talked about which week is better for the bettors and the bookmakers this week, because you have more games or next week, because there's more drama in the NCAA tournament.

8:30Do you have a preference? I think some some bettors would say this week is actually better. I think this week is better. If I always told customers, if you're going to come to town, if you come there and you know, conference championship week, that's as good as the tournament itself and that's less crowded. It's less crowded, good quality games, whereas the other tournament, you know, you're fighting for a C in their charging money to even just put one foot into the book. And so things are a little bit different. I always preferred to conference tournaments. Not only I thought it was a better deal for the customers, I preferred it. I liked it more because we've still got the teams in their own conference still playing. They've met or they've already played a couple of times all year. Games are elevated. You know, the play is elevated just like it normally is during the tournament, but they're just better games to me early.

9:32The other games are, you know, you're getting one seed versus 16s and high spreads. And of course, there's going to be some upsets. And of course, the dogs are going to cover, but I just like the quality of the conference tournaments better. Yeah, I did too. You know, we're talking to Tim about some of the bad beats since Friday night in baseball, golf, UFC, college, how about the one in golf over the weekend, Johnny? And we turned the page to the players championship this week, but our buddy Paul Stone at Daniel Berger at 140 to one. Oh, uh, to win last week. And he coughs up a two stroke lead with three holes to go loses in a playoff to Oxay Betia. Did you have a much action at draft Kings on Berger at a triple digit odds? No, no, we didn't. No, we were in okay shape with either guy. I think, Maddie, I think you know what that feels like, don't you? Because I believe just two weeks ago, you had the same thing happen to you. And I think your beat was much worse than his. First of all, Berger had the lead from

10:35the very beginning and it's hard to go coast to coast to golf. It just is. I mean, you have to put four great rounds together. And at some point, things are going to go wrong and it went wrong for Berger at the wrong time. So that's just the way golf is. It's just hard to win out there when having a lead for an entire three, four day stretch. That's Shane Lowry's choke job was worse. But Paul actually had Berger at 140 to one and Lowry was 20 to one. So I think Paul's beat actually is a little bit worse when he's not losing 140 to one shot up two strokes of three holes to go. That's a tough one. Obviously, he hedged and made a profit, but still. All right, so the players this week, we got Scotty, we got Rory, we have an elite field. How do you handicap the field at TPC, Johnny? Yeah, golf is tough. I think, you know, outside of trying to pick a winner, you know, I think top 10 are good bets. That way, you don't actually have to win the tournament.

11:38You just got to kind of be in the mix. You know, I thought I thought Scotty would play good last week. He didn't, but he's played good enough that we win at least two or three tournaments already this year and he just hasn't got there. If he starts off well, and when I say starts off well, stays within four or five shots after day one, I think he's going to be super dangerous here. So I wouldn't pay him. I wouldn't, I don't bet four to one shot, the four and a half, the one shots, the win golf tournaments, because it's so tough, but looking at the top 10 or so, let's see some guys in there that you could play that, I think just some, you know, there's a little bit of value there. Instead of, you don't get paid as much, I understand that, but still, that's much easier to be in top 10 and just be in top 10. Johnny always appreciated. There he is.

This is decent prime time on v said the sports betting network. It is decent prime time alongside Matt humans. I'm Tim Murray got a couple of conference championships going on. Matt, don't look now. The Georgia Southern iron men have a chance here only down four against the Troy Trojans. They were a 13 and a half point underdog at half time

14:49trailing by 13 and the Georgia Southern Eagles who have played six games and six days are now only down four to the Troy Trojans, but Troy does get a bucket to increase their lead. The other conference should actually if Georgia Southern wins this is a ten seed and takes down the one by winning six games and six days. Is there a greater sin to revel story in the difference in the history of college basketball conference tournaments? I don't think so 300 to one odds to win the conference. Four teams of one five straight league tournament games NC state in 2024 Yukon in 2011 UNC in 1922 and 1925 when they played in the Southern conference, but no team has ever won six games in six days and that is what Georgia Southern is trying to do. They trail by five right now. My live bet on the buccaneers of East Tennessee state is not looking great as right now. Firm it. The sixth seed in the Southern conference has up their lead

15:53to 12 and they get an offensive rebound, but turn it back over. So we'll see if ETSU in a neutral setting down an Asheville North Carolina can ultimately come back and make this game a battle here, but Firm and has been the better team all throughout the night here and a lot of discussion matter over the weekend about the one seeds and this has been something I've talked about a while is trying to rig the field for the one seeds like a Gonzaga in the WCC and St Mary's both get double buys to the semi finals, the big West, the American, a lot of these conference tournaments, the Sun Belt, SoCon, not one of those Firm and ETSU played at the same amount of games, same amount of days, neutral floor and we'll see if the buccaneers, the top seed can ultimately get this win here, but they trail by 10 in this contest. Matt, take a look at the NBA tonight. We mentioned it. The biggest game on the hardwood in the NBA is Denver and Oklahoma City and wouldn't you know

16:59it, Matt? I don't know if you've ever heard this before. We're getting a comeback in the NBA, double digits down in the first quarter and the thunder now down by just two. It is 42 to 20, 10, 54 to go for a second quarter and the thunder back to a slight favorite over the Denver Nuggets tonight. That's obviously the game of the night in the association, OKC closed to three and a half point favorite total to 36, 40, 37 after one. These two teams do not like each other, Tim. No, they do not. And just take a look at what we've seen so far in this game. Nicole Yokitsch, seven points, four boards, four assists. You guys are walking triple double. He's impressive. I take it for granted every night. It seems like the guy gets a triple double. Shay Gilges, Alexander, your MVP from a year ago, 11 points, four assists, three rebounds so far. 10, 42 to go and that one, 42 to 40. How about 77 points scored in the first quarter in that contest.

18:02Paul Schienz, tosses a scoreless first inning in the World Baseball Classic. The United States taking on Mexico tonight and taking a look quickly at what Paul Schienz was able to do. One strike out no walks. A perfect first inning for Paul Schienz. The Americans at the plate now and Bobby Witt just got out. So Bryce Harper will step to the dish in the bottom of the first inning. United States went off as a three and a half run the favorite on the run line there against Mexico. Tonight was interesting to hear. Not a surprise, Matt, but a lot of people taking the United States on the money line into money line parlays curious who they the common denominator was that people were attaching it to. But the United States and Mexico playing right now World Baseball Classic, USA and Mexico each two and oh so far in pool play. Not a whole lot of interest for me in a World Baseball Classic. Did watch a little bit of that

19:04game Friday night. That was insane. If you took the night and a half and it was eight to five going to the ninth and USA scored seven runs in the ninth to win the game 15 five. Have not watched a whole lot of it, but I know a lot of people who are watching it love it. They love these games. So I watch them once they go to the quarter finals. I'm so immersed in the college basketball right now. Yeah, it's really hard to care much about the baseball or watch much of the baseball as he should be four and one. No big deal. Best bet winner first place. Oh, circle college hoops challenge. We got a long way to go, man. I'm just returning the favor. No, I know it's just returning the favor. Exactly what you're doing. Matt, a strong weekend. record in the contest. Tim Murray seven, two and one. You know, I went into the evening, Matt, you know, I kicked my feet up and I said, all right, I'm being first place solo. And here comes Matt humans four and one has BYU comes back. They win the game outright. By the way, I was texting

20:05with the madman, Chris Miserro and I was watching BYU Texas Tech late night. Texas Tech could not miss in the first half. And once again, this is why we do a live betting show and I know we weren't on the air Saturday night, but it was a great opportunity to jump in and grab BYU on the live line. I got him at plus five and a half. I think Miserro grabs a money line. You had a pre-flop bet on them. BYU, that was and wouldn't you know what, Matt? Texas Tech got cold and BYU was able to win that game, but a strong finish to the night for you and your best bet on Wisconsin outright winner. The heck is wrong with Purdue? Are they are fade in the big 10 tournament? Are they a fade into double? I've been a fade for the last two months. Five losses. I explained all the point spread trends on your show Saturday morning. Yep. That's one and eight at S in the home and big 10 play. And yet the market better. I know. I know. Well, a lot of people like Purdue is number seven in Ken Palm going into the weekend. A lot of people are just tied to those ratings. They can't get away

21:07from those ratings and think that the team's eventually going to play to its rating. And if you're watching all these games, you can see it's not going to happen. Anyway, conference tournaments to big boys get going. I believe tomorrow the ACC is the first to tip off. Is that right? We got the ACC big 12 and big 10 all get underway tomorrow tomorrow. Let's let's hit the big 10 because Purdue does not have the double buy or the triple buy. So the the breakdown of the big 10, Matt, everyone is in the ACC. Not everyone made it, right? Notre Dame missed out Boston college missed out. But in the big 10, Matt, it starts tomorrow. Oregon takes on Maryland and Northwestern and Penn state. I'm sure those will be raucous environments in Chicago for those particular games. But as we as we look at the bracket. Oregon and Maryland winner goes and plays Iowa Northwestern Penn state. Winner goes on to play Indiana. Ohio State was constant Purdue and UCLA, Matt, all get it by to

22:10the third round. And then Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska and Michigan state get buys to the quarter five. So there's a lot of highs going on here. Well, I'll break this down pretty quickly because the top half of this bracket is brutal. And Ohio State is the eight. Buck guys won the hottest teams in the big 10 going into it, Wisconsin, the five in the top half of the bracket. Badgers are hot as well. Hey, the badgers won at Michigan at Illinois at Purdue. I think about that. Number one, Michigan number four Illinois, all four of those teams are in the top half of the bracket. Ohio State whiskey Michigan, Illinois top half of that bracket's brutal. Purdue is a seven seat. Actually, you got a really good draw here. Caught a break. Probably had to beat Indiana and Nebraska. And then Michigan state to get to the championship. You know, and those guys are going to be focused. Hey, we have a chance here to make up for our sins and kind of turn the negative talk around if we can with big 10 tournament this week. I think Purdue's got a great shot to get the championship game with that draw plus seven 50 right now at circuit. That's actually not a bad bet. I think, you know,

23:16those guys are going to show up there with a point to prove this week and got the best of the draw. There's no doubt about it. I mean, Nebraska is not playing great basketball right now. Michigan states always a tough out, but Purdue can be Michigan state. So when you look at the big 10, I think the problem is I wanted to bet Ohio State Ohio State and whiskey are the two teams right now that intrigued me the most, but that's a tough draw. Ohio State, if a wins its first game has to play Michigan and whiskey if a wins its first game has to play Illinois. So I think you're better off betting a team from the bottom half of the bracket if you're playing the big 10 tournament. Yeah, you look at it. And I think you, you know, as crazy as it sounds, I think the Purdue case is an interesting one because they've been such underachievers. But is this a reset? I mean, it's still crazy in a meme at that Braden Smith and Fletcher lawyer did not miss one game in their college career. I know. 282 combined career starts between those two and they lose five games at

24:18Mackey. And, you know, sometimes you just see teams. The pressure was so much on them all the year, all year long. I think being a pretty season. Number one was a negative for sure. So you play Indiana more than likely. If you win that, you get Nebraska. And if you win that, isn't Huskers are not set in the world on fire right now. Nope. And then if you win that, you're getting Michigan State or or UCLA. So if you're looking at a 750 ticket on Purdue, a team that is still what thought of as a top 10 team per Ken POM. Yeah. Not a bad look. If you do believe that was the thing about Purdue. Why was preseason number one? He have so many teams that were throwing things together, right? Transferers and Purdue started four seniors, 10. That's very rare in college basketball right now to start four seniors. It is Veecent Prime Time. We'll get you updated on a couple of conference championships and revisit our game of the night.

25:22This is Veecent Prime Time on Veecent, the sports betting network. Once I'm at humans, I'm Tim Murray. It is championship week and less than a week. We will have a bracket in our hands getting ready for the NCAA tournament. And we will have tons of college basketball all throughout the week. Make sure to check out Veecent.com for all of the selections and Matt is looking more and more likely that the Ferman Paladins will be headed to the NCAA tournament as the sixth seed from the Southern Conference. They are now up 13 on top-seated East Tennessee State Ferman Barrier and some threes here and looking to advance, not feeling great about my in-game play on the Buccaneers of East Tennessee State. Ferman is not a fluke here Tim. We've been watching this entire game. He's thinking at some point, East Tennessee is going to make a run or, you know, impose its will as the top seed

26:22and it's not happening. In fact, East Tennessee made a run and Ferman answered it and went back up double digits. So I think you're in big trouble with at East Tennessee bet or anyone who bet at the Buccaneers of the futures. Not feeling great, but if you had Ferman on the futures market, you're feeling pretty good right now with a 13 point lead. They're plus eight on the rebounding margin and they also have hit nine threes Ferman has in this game. So the Paladins up 13 Troy Trojans up 10. So we will have two tickets punched to the NCAA tournament tonight as the Trojans from the Sun Belt. And you know, I'm glad we'll see how this game ultimately plays out map, but it would be a you think back to some of those tests that Troy had early season. If they're going to be on the 14 line, could be a pretty intriguing team to look at as they are battle tested. The Trojans are if they were to land on that 14 line. I can tell you right now when we're talking about the brackets on Sunday night. Troy's going to be on my radar as a double digit seed is going to be have a great shot to cover or pulling up setting a matter of the matchup

27:26there. Herman now up 15. It looks like they are destined for the NCAA tournament. Quick update from the World Baseball Classic. The United States had the bases loaded. Cal Raleigh struck out to end the inning. So we are in the top of the second and Paul schemes just picked up his second strike out right now looking at the live betting market on the World Baseball Classic USA and Mexico. USA still a hefty favorite minus 650 on the money line. Run line still sits at three and a half here for the United States against Mexico coming up top of the hour map. We'll talk to the professor Aaron Moore will get his thoughts on the games tonight. We still have a couple of games to get to. And I want to continue to dive into conference tournaments here. But before we do so, Matt, our game of the night is Gonzaga taking on Oregon State. It would have been St. Mary Santa Clara, but of course that game won't tip off till we're signed off the airwaves. But Wayne Tinkle. He has been told he will not be the next head coach. He will not be the head coach next year

28:30at Oregon State, but he is still coaching the beavers. They were able to win yesterday to advance to the semifinals are the foreseed in the WCC. Let's hear from Oregon State's head coach about how he's been taking on this process in throughout the run. We're going to keep battling for him. There were a lot of emotions when I was by myself, but we had to make sure we made it about the team this week. That's all we've ever done, right? We talk about being selfless and really doing what we do for the betterment of the group. So why would I make it about me and the individual all of a sudden? That would be so

29:34hypocritical. We've got enough of that notion of society. So it was just, hey, we're going to move forward. Before the game like guys, I think we love each other so much. Why would we want this to be our last night? Let's keep this thing going. And so that was really the focus all week, not about any other stuff. Beat San Francisco last night, 78, 77, 77, Matt. And now they are 20, 20 and a half point underdogs tonight against Gonzaga. Wayne Tickles been the head coach of Oregon state since 2014. You alluded to it earlier in the show, led this Oregon state team to a magical run. They were here in Vegas. They won the pack 12 tournament. They get the auto bid and they become a 12 seed and they make a run all the way to the elite eight. And they ultimately got knocked out back in 21 by Houston. But the deepest run Oregon state had under Wayne Tinkle last year, 120 games. And this year, 17 wins and looks like the season and his run in Oregon state will end tonight. But uh, never know. Yes, you do know. Yeah. Oregon state's not going to win tonight.

30:39This is going to be his last game. I was watching the game. I don't know over the weekend. And there was a team that had a eight point lead with 10 seconds to go and the announcer sits on like other close to closing this one out. I'm like, no, it's over. Okay. When you're up eight with eight seconds left, it's over. Oregon state's not going to be Gonzaga tonight. But can you cover the 20 and a half? Maybe if they cover the number, they can, uh, douse Wayne Tinkle and Gatorade and celebrate and carry him off the floor for getting me a cover in his final game against his eyes. Last night, Oregon state started off that game very poorly against San Francisco. And then, they suddenly got a hot thereafter about midway through the first half finished 11 for 24 from three 15 for 17 on free throws at shop 47 percent from the field. I was pretty impressed with way. Oregon state played last night, especially Des White came off the bench hit six for eight from three. And they're going to need something like that from Des White again tonight to cover this number. This team's got talent. They got shooters. Uh, Oregon states in about 500 team.

31:45I was tempted to take the points here, but it you feel like if Gonzaga is really focused. If the Zach say, hey, we want to destroy this opponent, they can. And, uh, that's, you know, typically, what the Zags do in this tournament in this conference. So I decided to stay away, but I did consider taking the points with the beavers. You know, they're playing for the coach, no matter what Wayne Tinkle says there. It is about him. It's about this, uh, these players who really like their coach. He's one of the really good guys in college hoops coaching. And I know these players love him. So they're going to play their ass off for him tonight. Uh, one thing I've noticed if you're watching West Coast conference, three point shootings been really good throughout this tournament. I think the players like the rims and the shooting background. And maybe that leads to overs, but if you've watched these games, the three point shootings have been very good for, uh, pretty much all the teams and it was last night. So probably we'll be tonight as well. Yeah, good. Uh, the better of the two games, the more competitive of the two games, these based off of the point spread is Santa Clara and St Mary's. That'll be the night cat mat. I did take a small

32:49piece on Santa Clara plus the four and a half. Don't love it, but still a play for me. Um, here against St Mary's. These two teams split the regular season series. Um, Santa Clara winning a more of a grinder earlier in the season at home. Herb Sendeck squad was able to win back on January 17th, 62 54. And then when they went to Moraga on February 25th and the second last game of the regular season for the Broncos and Gales, St Mary's one convincingly 86 to 67 St Mary's mat does feel like they're kind of rolling right now as they wrapped up the regular season with a win over Santa Clara and then against Gonzaga, both by double digits. They great second half by the Gales. So could be walking to a bit of a buzz saw here, but Santa Clara is a pretty desperate. If they win this game, I would say not even, uh, I think they're off going to Dayton. They might be headed to just straight into the field of 64. If they lose, it's got to be a sweaty Sunday for the Santa Clara

33:53Broncos. So a small play for me on Santa Clara plus the four and a half tonight against St Mary's. I thought about that. I actually want to do before I even saw the number, I said, if I give five and a half here, I might bet Santa Clara and the number is four and a half. So I said, well, I said, I've got to have five and a half. So I'm not going to bet. I'm not taking the four and a half. I never did see it move. Um, Santa Clara, by the way, he had 15 threes last night talking about the three points. You know, 15 for 36. And that was with missing a bunch towards the end of the game. Early in the second half, Santa Clara had a 12-o run to go up, I believe 62 to 48. And at that point, had 13 made threes. I'll say we're shooting the lights out last night. Pacific was lucky to hang in there and get to cover as a nine and a half point dog to free throws late. 76 68 Santa Clara got to win last night. I lean the dog in that game. I really don't have a play in the Oregon State Gonzaga game. Yeah, nothing for me in the first game. It feels like Gonzaga

34:55should roll in that one. I was curious, Matt. St Mary's. How well have they been playing, you know, in this seven game winning streak that they've been on. If you go over to Bart Torvic.com and go from February 1st on. So about the last, you know, five, six weeks, St Mary's ranked as the 12th best team in college basketball. So Randy Bennett's team is playing much better right now since that lost to Gonzaga, which was still a cover at the canals. A bit fortunate cover. They were about a 10 point dog in that Saturday night in Spokane. But Matt, since then, having lost and right now, I said seven. It's an eight game winning streak with wins over Santa Clara and Gonzaga to wrap up the regular. I played St Mary's as the best bet week one of the circuit college who's challenged two and a half point home dog does the Zags at a huge second half to win that game 70 59. If these teams meet St Mary's and Gonzaga in the championship, what do you think the Zags are going to be favored by? It's going to be five and a half, five and a half. Yeah.

It is Viesin prime time, couple of conference championships going on the world baseball classic as well, USA and Mexico right now taking place in Houston and the United States looking for their

38:01first run of the contest is, are they going to get it here? I think they know we got to out at home. So scoreless going into the are still scoreless in the bottom of the second inning. We've got Furman and East Tennessee State, the Southern conference championship. The Furman Paladins have been the better team all night. And we'll see if the Buccaneers can make some sort of run right now. There is a coaches challenge on I believe a gold tending that was called against East tenant. I don't know if this call is going to get overturned, but that was not gold tending. No, I thought it was maybe a foul. There were some contact, but look like a good block. So we'll see if it does get overturned. And the gas might be on empty for Georgia, Southern man as they are playing their six game and as many nights as they trail by two touchdowns. 61 to 50. Another free throw here for Georgia, Southern live number 13 and a half Troy close around a five and a half point favorite in this one. So the Troy Trojans battle tested.

39:04They will be headed to the NCAA tournament. And they, according to bracket matrix, probably around a 14 C. We'll talk to Rocco Miller, Matt bracketologist. He's going to be at Gonzaga Oregon State. He's going to join us during the half of that game and we'll get his thoughts on some of these seed lines and where we could see some of these teams as the Trojans now up 15 at against Georgia, Southern second game and two nights for Troy, six game and six nights for Georgia, Southern. And that is certainly showing right now in the Sunbelt conference tournament. Obviously, this thing has been trending under the whole way and it looks like that under four minutes ago. I don't think there's going to be enough fouling at the end to push this near the total, which closed 153. The live total dropped to 135 after about 10 minutes. But right now sitting on 117 66 51 with four minutes to go. Great update from the world baseball classic USA that run line down to two and a half now.

40:07It is juiced towards the Americans minus $1.25 money line minus 500 as it is scoreless as we head to the third inning in Houston, USA and Mexico. Matt, we just discussed the big 10 conference tournament, which yet started tomorrow with the early games. How about we look at the ACC, which also starts tomorrow, three games in the ACC tournament tomorrow. This will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina. Your matchups tomorrow, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, Stanford and Pittsburgh, SMU and Syracuse and Andy Enfield squad feels like they're trending in the bit of the wrong direction there. But more big picture here before we dive into the games. You're one seed, no surprise, it's Duke. Your four seed is North Carolina, two is Virginia, three is Miami. Those four teams, Matt, get a double buy to the quarter final round. The other teams that get buys to the second round, Florida State and Cal, they'll play in the eight nine winner plays Duke. Clemson gets

41:10the winner of Virginia Tech, Wake, they're the five seed NC State, the seven Louisville, the six. Is this similar to you like the big 10 where you look at the bottom portion of the bracket where you've got Virginia, you've got Miami, NC State, Louisville. Would you look at that bottom portion of the bracket knowing that Duke is at the top? Well, when I look at the bracket here, Virginia is on the opposite side of Duke in North Carolina. And I don't fear this North Carolina team, really, without, you know, you're talking about your tar heals team without a special player. Right. Caleb Wilson, done for the year. Caleb Wilson out for North Carolina, Caleb Foster out for Duke and, uh, and, uh, Gumball is going to be out too for this tournament. Duke shorthanded down two players here. So on the bottom half of the bracket, is there a chance that you could get a long shot team through there? Maybe Wake Forest or Clemson? Maybe what about Miami? Well, Miami's on the top half of the bracket, right? No, they're on the bottom. They're the three seed.

42:14Miami's on the top half with Virginia. Two Virginia three Miami. I'm looking at the bracket. They're on the opposite side of Duke. Right. I'm just saying that on the bottom half of the bracket with Duke in Carolina, could you have a team get through that bottom half, uh, a long shot team get through the bottom half because Duke is shorthanded. North Carolina is too. I mean, could a team like Clemson or Wake Forest get through the bottom half of the bracket? I don't know. I might play Wake tomorrow as a two and a half point dog. That team intrigues me a little bit. And then other half of the bracket, Virginia and Miami are both there. I don't know if the number is good enough to get you there on Virginia plus 650, but you got to think the cab's got a great shot to get to the championship game. And then if you've got plus 650 in your pocket, you're going to like where you stand. You have to be facing either a shorthand to Duke team or someone else. Uh, so actually, I think Virginia might be a plus 650 or I'll see if I can find a better number. That might be my play in the ACC. I figured you were down on Miami after other hurricanes came up short against Louisville.

43:19Wasn't that one of your contest plays? Yeah, I laid a, uh, latest short number with Miami. And that was a very popular play in the contest on Saturday. Miami against Louisville and the hurricanes came up short. Yeah, shorthanded Louisville team. But I'll point this out, man, as you look at the graphics here, Louisville is plus 950. Miami's 20 to one. Uh-huh. Makes sense of that. Louisville's got to play another game. I don't know. And Miami's got the buy. You've got a revenge opportunity. Look, Michael Brown's going to be back. So that makes this Louisville team better. But once again, what we talked about with some of these teams, like if you're, if you're Pat Kelsey, Louisville's a tournament team, you've got a lottery pick on your squad in Michael Brown. He's been dealing with the back injury all year. Are you really going to want Michael Brown playing four games in four days? I think for me, I think, I'm not saying I'm in love with Miami. But I think from a number standpoint, you've got four teams in the quarter finals

44:22already. You've got Duke, odds on favorite minus 350. You got UNC, best players missing in Caleb Wilson. You got Virginia plus 650. And then you got Miami at 20 to one. So to me, you're on the opposite side of the Duke bracket. What's that number going to be against Virginia if they were to get their revenge against Louisville? Is Michael Brown going to be fully effective playing a second game in as many nights when he plays against Miami? So I think for me, maybe a small play on Miami as a long shot 20 to one to win this conference. And you know, if they get into a championship game against Duke, it's going to be tricky to hedge off of that because that number is going to be big. But you know, it might have some opportunities there. So I'm not that scared of Duke in this conference. Sure. We've seen Duke with great teams losing the conference tournament before. Like I said, a couple of years ago against Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech shot the lights out. This is a type of a setting where you can bet against the team like Duke when they're down two players. Yeah, it's not never a great sense of urgency to win a tournament like this. Duke's going to be the number one overall seat anyway, right? So it doesn't really matter. I think

45:25you're right there. The two teams I would look at would be Virginia plus 650 or seven to one odds and Miami at 20 to one. You're probably going to Virginia or Miami out of the top half of that bracket. And you're going to catch a team that's not going to be a full strength on the other side. So playing their third game in three days. Right. Well, also when you handicap conference tournaments, a lot of times I like the teams that are playing day after day. Sometimes a buy can be a disadvantage because the team that played the previous day, those guys got a rhythm, they got confidence from winning. They've they've got some familiarity with shooting backgrounds in the court. And momentum is a thing in the conference tournament. So sometimes a buy can be a bit of a bad thing. The team's just sitting around waiting. Look at Georgia Southern. They just keep winning every day. When five days in a row to get the day number six and they're hanging in there with Troy, the top seed. So sometimes the the teams that play against the team that's sitting around with the buy the the previous day can have an advantage. Let's see, see, see,

46:28tournament is really interesting. Yeah. Yeah. The team like Wake Forest, which is not that bad at 800 to one. Tim, I don't fear that North Carolina team on that bottom half of that bracket at all. I have zero fear factor with North Carolina. Yeah. I think you're point about Clemson, right? Clemson could be an interesting team to look at and Brad Brennell. I think he's a very good coach. Clemson, you know, 40 to one Clemson. Can they get past UNC and set up against Duke who once again is going to be shorthanded. You know, where's the motivation as well? Do we just get a foul on a three point? I believe East Tennessee is going to have a three shot foul here down 10 with two 45 to go 70 to 60. The score, the Southern Conference Championship, Furman, trying to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament. Troy Trojans, two and a half minutes away from Dancing Matt, as they are up 14 right now on Georgia's Southern. Look at that games tomorrow, Matt, you mentioned a couple of them. You think Troy would be a 14 seed. I think so right now,

47:28but things could change, right? I would be a dangerous 14 seed. You don't want to play that team, right? Looking at today's bracket matrix Troy, most of the bracketologists had them on a 14, couple had them on the 15 line. I think they probably would be entrenched on a 14, but Rocco Miller, he would have a better feel of this. He'll join us later on in the show. Aaron Moore will join us later in the show as well. We'll revisit some of the signings today. In the NFL, don't worry. East Tennessee State missed the first of three free throws. Not the worst. Are you having fun, Tim? I'm having a great time. What a good bet by me on East Tennessee State live. Oh, you got the second one though. There you go. That's bad humans. I'm Tim Murray. We'll keep working our way through some of these conference tournament games and update you on what's happening between the nuggets and thunder.
