I might be excluding a few more of the evening games with regards to recap, just because now you guys are getting me on v SIN Saturdays once again. So that is a lot of fun.
So to have to.
Record these a little bit more in advance with regards to the Saturday podcast, so do be mindful of that. But let's take a look at what we got on a tremendous college bad Saturday. Tried to find some trends in try to get to know these teams a little bit better.
A games for yesterday is Greig buzzing about. Here is the rowdy recap.
And on Saturday it was the day of the blown lead and really the biggest one that I personally saw Texas A and M. They got up by north of twenty points on Texas they lose by a count of seventy to sixty nine. As a matter of fact, for Texas A and M, they were leading in this game, if I'm not mistaken, by either twenty two or twenty three points. They were up fifty one to twenty nine early portions of the second half and then made like your buddy at the bar and could not close. And this was despite the fact that Texas A and M shot twelve of twenty three from three parrange in this one. But Texas they were able to go eight of twenty from three partrange. You were able to have another big performance out of Trey Johnson, who's been one of the best freshmen in all of college basketball, thirty points and big reason why he was able to get the job done for the team. He was able to go ten of ten at the free line, so he was able to have himself a really nice performance. And for Texas A and M. They do win the battle on the glass forty three to twenty seven, but they also did lose a turnover battle eleven to eight, so it's a little bit of a rough one for them. And Texas been a little bit over the place against the spread thus far the season, but back up about five hundred eleven eight and one against the spread. And for Texas and I'm eleven six and three against the spread. You typically don't three see three pushes, but and that's what you've gotten out of them. Florida's actually your top against the spread team out of all the SEC teams, and they just stomped the yard with Georgia on Sunday. As in the Florida Georgia line was nowhere even close. Florida they get the job done eighty nine to fifty nine the final. As for Georgia they go five to twenty one from three and four Florida, they go nine to twenty six from the outside. You had Will Richard supply the team with sixteen points. And for Georgia, they actually didn't do the world's worst job on the glass. They lose that battle by count thirty nine to thirty two, but eighteen turnovers turned out to be very costly for them. We're unable to get really anything on the inside. As Blue Cane, only guy that was able to get the team double figures with ten points. Vanderbilt now thirteen and seven against the spread. Big win for them against Kentucky. They get the job done by account of seventy four to seve s nine. As for Kentucky, you did have or take away be able to impact the game in quite a few ways twenty one points, twelve rebounds. But for Kentucky, the offense just overall has not been the same when they've been away from home, and they committed seventeen turnovers in this game. As you had Jason Edwards lead the way with Vanderbilt. He had eighteen points and for Vanderbilt they only committed five turnovers. So even though they lost their rebound battle forty three to thirty they do find a way to persevere and they do indeed get the job done. Also out during the SEC Mississippi State, they got themselves as scare from South Carolina has been sneaking up on some of these teams. South Carolina has been no close but no cigar in a lot of these cases. Sixty five to sixty Mississippi State, they do find a way to get the job done in overtime, despite the fact that they went six of twenty six from three points. They win the turner battle by kind of nineteen to seventeen. And for South Carolina, they really won the battle on the glass. They actually won the rebound battle forty five to thirty is He had twelve rebounds a piece out of Calin Murray Boyles along Nick Pringle. Problem was this team won four of twenty from three points. Tomori thomas Still's coming on if the bench he had been dealing with an injury. He did spy the team with nineteen points, the nation's best against the spread team. They keep it going. Houston Christian now fifteen and three against the spread. They get the job done against New Orleans eighty six to seventy six. A lot of places they close right around about two and after three point favors nine to twenty three for three for them and for this New Orleans team. They did get twenty nine points out of James White. But this has been a New Orleans team that they have not been a top ten team against the spread in all of college basketball this year, to say the LEAs they have had a lot of games in which they have not covered, to say the least. So that's been very much less than savory, to say the least. What else has been very much less than savory If you're looking at this team, they have been the worse against the spread team in all of college basketball. Same use to see. They are now three and fifteen against the spread. They follow to Western Kentucky this by kind of seventy five to sixty six, as Western Kentucky a little bit of an underdog in this game, they go just eight to twenty seven for three point in lose the turner battle fifteen to ten. But they still win this game because Sam Easton State. They themselves shot thirty seven percent from the floor, so has been a little bit less and tremendous out there for them. This has also been a team that you've been wanting to fad as well. Vermont, now five and fifteen against has spread a complete departure from what we've seen out of Vermont in past years. No longer are they the big bad bully out there in the America East Conference. That would actually be Bryant, who is now six to zero straight up in that conference eighty to sixty three UNBC Alan base Vermont Vermont goes to seven to twenty five from three parts, actually win the rebound bat thirty nine to twenty six, but lost a turnover battle fourteen to nine. So they have been a lesson savory team to be backing as far as the season. So those are a few outliers that we've been taking a look at. This is a Duke team that has been pretty rock solid all season long, and where Duke has really been able to shine this far this season has been to the under. As you did get another under that came through on Saturday. They win, but they do not cover this by kind of sixty three to fifty six final. This one for Duke. They have now played I believe twelve unders to seven overs thus far the season. Duke Goes just signed thirty two from three points. Cooper Flag suff Sastache once again. He did have seven turnovers, so that was a bit of an issue. But twenty four points, six assists, seven rebounds did go just one to six from three points. But wake Forest three of eighteen from distance in this one, and for wake Forest they get bludgend on the last forty six to twenty nine duke. They were able to win that battle. This was a complete an under up chucking from Arizona State to start out the year pretty strong and now they're starting to tape her off a bit. Iowa State seventy six to sixty one winners for Arizona State. They were up in this game, by the way, with five minutes and twenty seconds. The Ragning if you like me, had a bet on Arizona State. Good grief, just absolutely rough there and Arizona State now twelve hundreds to seven overs thus far the season, but probably with say they go eight of nineteen from three point as Curtis Jones does it again thirty three points, seven rebounds. Now Joshua Jefferson, they're on their double double ne for Arizona State. They lose the turnover battle eight to twelve, so that was very much less than savory for them. This was savory though Michigan. They get the job done against Rutgers, this by kind of eighty one to seventy four for Michigan State five of nineteen for three points. They continue to be one of your worst three point shooting teams in all of college basketball. They lose the turner battle fifteen to six, but they win the battle on the last once again forty four to thirty four. Ace Bailey at eighteen points, but you had not a whole lot outside that because they were missing their other main guy in the starting lineup in Dylan Harper. He came in off the bench. He only played thirteen minutes. He had six points in this one. So we need to see what the delio is there, because that was very strange, to say the least, so well looked for a little bit of an update there. And how about this Minnesota team, By the way, this Minnesota team was awful to begin Big Ten play. All of a sudden, Minnesota has now been able to run off a few wins here in conference play. They get the job done against Oregon seventy seven to sixty nine in the final all of a sudden. You're actually getting a relatively good effort. This Minnesota team. They got up in this game eighteen points very early plung on for dear life as you had Dawson guard see a takeover this game thirty one points and Parker Fox down low thirteen points, eleven rebounds of head zone for Oregon. They go eight to twenty three from three, but Oregon lost the turner battle twelve to ten. They lose a rebound battle thirty five to twenty six Oregan. It's actually been one of were better against the spread teams in college basketball thus far this season, and for Minnesota, for the longest time they were stuck on one cover and they were the worst cover.
Team in all of college basketball.
So they've really been able to liven up and they've been able to do a good job to be able to put that to bad end out there in the SEC as well, we've been seeing a lot of intrigue with regards to this conference, and this was another game that was very fascinating as Missouri they do find a way to be able to get the job done win and cover against Old missis for Old miss They started out this game just five to seventeen from three. Well, Missouri, they started out eleven of twenty five from three prime engine for Missouri and Old miss both at thirteen plus turnovers in this game, but things got a little bit overwhelming laid out there. So that was relatively fun one. If you're looking at other teams that have been very big outliers with regards to overs and under, certainly THENECED the Northeast Conference, they have been some of your best under teams in all of college basketball. They certainly have been of note. And this has been a team that has been very surprisingly good to the under thus far this season. Saint Louis fifteen unders of three overs thus far this season, and they follow to George Washington, our nation's first president. This PYB kind of sixty seven to sixty one for Saint Louis. They go just six of twenty eight from three points in this one. For George Washington, you had Rafael Castro be able to fly twenty one points nine rebounds, so he was able to do a great job on that front. For Robbie Avola, he's been having his issues with the turnovers, not so much in this game, only one turnover, but thirteen points out of him, So that's been fun to be able to gauge, just say the least. This has been Another team has been very intriguing to the under as well, Lipscumb, Lipscumb, five overs to just fourteen unders thus far this season for them. On Saturday, they do get the job done on the road against Central Arkansas and very much under game sixty eight to fifty five of the final. Now, let's come dig close in a lot of places as a thirteen a half point favorite, so depend upon your number opened up more around a twelve to twelve and a half point favorite, So in some places he got the cover, in some places you didn't. But they combined fifteen of sixty two from three point range out of these two teams, so that was a little bit of a sizzler out there. It has been a little bit of a slog for Gonzaga, who they entered into the night seven and twelve against the spread, but they do find a way to get the job done in very convincing fashion over Portland one oh five to sixty two final. This one for Gonzaga, they were able to get a really nice performance out of Ben Gregg, great name. He was able to go ten to ten from the floor. For Gonzaga twelve of twenty two from three point range. Has been a little bit up and down for them last few weeks, so that is that's a very rock solid result for them. And what else has been rock solid is some of these Big twelve teams the under as well as entering into today your top two under teams, where Cincinnati along with Kansas, both of these teams had played just two overs thus far the season. One of these teams they did cash you another under. As for Cincinnati, they just get blow torch by BYU in this one, and this was a final by account of eighty to fifty two. As for Cincinnati they go just five to twenty eight from three pints one to fourth the free throw line. And for Byu fifteen out of twenty four from three pints. Richie Saunders able to splid the team with twenty one points. And then for Kansas, hard to be able to cash too many unders when your game goes to double overtime, and that's what happened here ninety two to eighty six. Houston gets the job done. For Kansas, a few blunders at the end of the game and they go seventeen out of thirty at the free throw a hundred. Dickinson was able to give the team seventeen points a rebounds and Dwan Arris he chips in their twelve assists. And for Kansas, twelve turnovers and double overtime against Houston isn't pad, but Houston just five turnovers in this game, so they do a nice job being able to get the job down there. And for West Virginia, they go on the road and they lose to Kansas State this by a count of seventy three to sixty. He has been a little bit of less than save a year for Kansas etate, but they led this game pretty much wired to wired. Despite the fact that Javon Small tried to come up big, he was able to sply the team with twenty two points. And then in the nightcap you did see Auburn over Tennessee and what was a slog fifty three to fifty one final in this one. Needless to say, not a lot of scoring in this game, and it has been an Auburn team has been quite a bit of an overwhelming team as far as the season, as they been in one of your top offenses in terms of points scored on a per possession basis. But for the Sennessee team now thirteen unders, who just seven overs as far as the season, as for Tennessee just four twenty two for three points. Auburn goes three twenty from the outside. And this was the return of g and I Broom And for mister Broom, he cleaned up off the bench sixteen points thirteen rebounds, big reason why Auburn was able to get that win and also being able to get a win Xavier. They knock off Yukon by a count of seventy six to seventy two. As for Yukon, they did have solo ball, being able to sply the team with twenty points in this one. But for a Xavier, they go seven of seventeen from three point seven of twenty six on the Yukon side things in Yukon, this is that turn of battle by account of thirteen to nine. If you're looking at your top overteam in all of college basketball, that would be South Dakota. South Dakota entered in the day sixteen overs to just two unders. This one goes under mainly because the total was one seventy ninety to seventy one. South Dakota State. They get the win, they get the cover over South Dakota, and South Dakota actually hasn't been an amazing three point shinning team all season long. They go just four of twenty four from distance, and this one South Dakota State twelve of thirty one from the outside, so that's been hair braining crazy. So now South Dakota sixteen overs to just three unders as far as the season. That was the record for North Florida entering into the day as well. And for North Florida, they played themselves yet another over against West Georgia and they fell in this game ninety two to seventy two. That's a rough look, but total of one to fifty nine and a half. That goes over very easily. As for North Florida, they just conteue the launch trees. They went ten of thirty four from three point enge in this one. Inside the arc they win fifteen of twenty four, so maybe they want to do a little bit more of that. And for West Georgia, six of teen from three point range in this one. They're able to win the rebound battle, So they've been a very demonstrative overteam. Cornell continues to be a very demonstrative over team as well. Eleven overs, three unders and two pushes, and they go on the road and they get the job done against Princeton eighty five to seventy six. Final one to fifty eight and a half total that goes well over and for Cornell, they had full control of this game early on. They lit up a little bit in the second half and then they're able to rally once again with Nisier Williams being able to slide the team with twenty eight points. Speaking of the some of the league, you've got a few other teams have been very good to the over as well doing this. While we're unknown as whether or not Saint Thomas was able to get another over, but they entered into Saturday thirteen overs, four unders and a push. And North Dakota they're currently sitting at fourteen overs of five unders. They hold in there against North Dakota State, they're able to get a cover, but they do get an over as well. This was a closing total about one sixty and a half. North Dakota State eighty seven to eighty two winners in this one. As for North Dakota State, they go sixteen and forty eight from three points, but North Dakota went twenty one and thirty five at the free thaw line. Both of these seams just six turnovers a piece, so some good, clean family fun out there. So that was another hair brained, demonstrative game. Delaware has been playing a whole lot of overs, that's far the season, fourteen overs to five hunderds. And for the Blue Ends, they played a rare under as they got held down by Trexel sixty seven to fifty four final in this one as strex Will goes seven to twenty from three. Just a five of twenty sizzler here for Delaware, so that was a little bit of an issue for them. One of your other better cover teams in all of college basketball has actually been Nebraska of Omaha, who they are currently in action as they do this against or Roberts. We'll see what happens there. But fifteen and four against the spread for them thus far the season. Another team has been very intriguing against the spread. How about what we've been seeing out of Oregon State. They entered into the night fifteen and five against the spread, and they go up against Santa Clair and they get the job done eighty three to sixty nine. The finalist for Oregon State. They pull away late thanks to having Michael Rata give the team thirty points six sports ten of ten at the free line for Oregon State twenty one of twenty two at the free line. This was very much a nip and tuck game throughout like this was I believe a two point game with six plus minutes remaining. So in the Oregon State they find a way to be able to get the job done. They put some distance between them and they're able to find a way. And another team has been very good against the spread about what we've been seeing out of Norfolk State. They're fourteen and five against the spread. They get the win, they get the cover against Howard I got of ninety two to seventy five. Is they go just five to twenty one from three points, but twenty one of twenty one at the free line. Brian Moore, he is able to give you more. He gives you thirty big points in this one. So and that has been rock solid. The other team has been very intriguing that I don't think a lot of people would think about terms of making the money VAMI. They are now thirteen and five against the spread. They lose, but they cover against UNC greens where they were about eight a half point underdogs this sixty to fifty seven, and vm I was actually leading by seven points with I would say about like seven or so minutes remaining in this one. So and they relatively solid effort there from VMI, as you had Augustus heydu List be able to spy the team with twenty points and for a VMI they go just six to twenty seven from three points. But Greensborough also went eight of sixteen at the free throw line, so I was a little bit less than savory out there. At Elon, they've been just continuing to cover numbers all season long. They're at fourteen and five against the spread, though they did have a little bit of a rough one against College at Charleston, so that's going to knock them down to fourteen and six against the spread. As far as the season, if you're looking at some of your other fates in college basketball right now, this has just been the gift that keeps on giving out there in the Big Sky. You've had a few teams that have been really rough against the spread as right now, Eastern Washington stands five and thirteen against the spread. They lose in over the cow rade. This's by kind of sixty seven to sixty two. This was a closing number that in a lot of places was about five and a half. Depending upon your closing number, you might have been able to get there with Eastern Washington. So that should bump them up to six and thirteen against the spread. But a little bit of a lesson savory effort out there, and then this has also been a very much lesson savory to say the least. As well we were State, they have been about five and thirteen against the spread. They do get the job done against Sacramento State, though for we were sate eighty seven to eighty one winners. They were at one point a big time in this game as well. They were up seventy four to fifty three with seven forty remaining.
They very nearly blew this cover.
As a matter of fact, they were up sixteen points with two twenty eight remaining, and the Sacramento Saint makes up Pondzi charge.
If it wasn't for a few late game fels, you might have gotten a non cover in this game.
So that was interesting to say the least, and had some good clean family fun as well in Saint Louis. Going back to them because you're one of your better under teams in off college bass ball. Now six and thirteen against the spread for them as well, and as we know UW Green Bay they have been a massive jumpster fire this year as well.
But hey, UW Green Bay.
They final way to get a cover against Cleveland State eighty one to sixty six final this one. This was like closing line of fifteen and a half, so good job Doug god Leef squad, and they once again had another chance to be able to win this game out right. They were down two points with bus and seven minutes rating and then they toilet bowl late in this game and they very nearly blew the cover. So that was absolutely hilarious to say the least. So you know, if you're in based only one of the seams has been fascinating to say the least. And what else has been fascinating is taking a look at the trends in college basketball. Now this was now this was as of Saturday afternoon, so there were a few evening games that need to be added to this. So when you hear the podcast tomorrow, trends are going to change a little bit. But as I'm sitting here and I'm doing these trends as of the games that have wrapped up at eight o'clock PM Eastern time, so doing this right round about five o'clock PM Pacific time. With regards to these trends, With regards to the data that we have available, over the last seven days, overs just absolutely killing it. One R and sixty one overs to one R and thirty three unders as a nearly fifty five percent rate to the over end. The home teams have just had miserable run of it recently, one thirty two, one fifty seven and eight against the spread over the last seven days. Meanwhile, underdogs one forty two and eight against the spread and home underdogs specifically forty seven, fifty seven and two against the spread. Meanwhile, if you're looking at the entire season thus far in college basketball, underdog's doing much better for fifty four to forty one and eleven against the spread. Typically you'd expect it to be a little bit better, but home teams covering fewer than forty nine and a half percent of games overall for the season, sixteen thirty one, sixteen seventy two, and fifty against the spread. Meanwhile, if you're looking at overs and unders right now, we've seen about fifty and a half percent of games go over the season, sixteen hundred and sixty eight overs and sixteen hundred and thirty nine hunderds. So that's where we're seeing college basketball right now, and that's what we all got on Saturday. Now, let's talk about the big picture that we're getting in college basketball, some of the conferences that we do want to be taking note of. Let's take a look at a few games for Sunday as well with our good friend rockel Miller.
He does great workover at Bracteer dot Oregon. Who joined me next right now because because he's with.
Myself that you expeeded si out Parks Family Podcasts. I'm a regular lovelass Vegas for guy with myself, Greg and Steeterson now part of the Decent Family podcast. Always great to be joined by this band as we've got rocke Miller aboard. He does such an incredible job over at practice Heer dot Org. Taking a look at this great game that we all know. In love of college basketball, I know that he's locked in on everything that we're seeing in this great sport. It's been wild, it's been crazy, but Rocco is the best at being able to decipher what is very hard to decipher. You're able to follo him on Twitter sidehecks at his first and last name, Roco Miller, the number eight all together and Roco, it's always great to have you a board.
Thank you, Greg, great to be back with you.
Have you been how's your weekend going so far?
Things have been going great for myself and my goodness, it is great to be taking a look at this wonderful game. Because now we're in late January. Selection Sunday is about six or so weeks away. And just what do you make out of the landscape in college basketball, because we've talked about it so much that the dominant team in the SEC certainly our reigning supreme, but I said, it does feel like we're starting to get some intrigue out there in the Big East, and with some of your favorites that made majors, some of these teams have been able to rise up as well.
The big picture is interesting.
It's unique in the top three leagues, I think, really standing above the rest by a good margin. Of course, that's led by the SEC. I've been staying here all along here in the last couple of weeks of January that the math of it all says the SEC should probably be limited to eleven bids because there's only sixteen league members and every single time the SEC takes the court, somebody has to lose, so that should throw at least six teams out.
Maybe at least five.
Will say, I do think there's a path to get eleven teams, but with the league being so big and everybody's schedule and balance, there is a world where potentially the bottom three or four, whether that's I think South Carolina and LSU were there, Arkansas is there for now they have potential to move up. You know, Texas just got a big win on Saturday over Texas A and M, so we're waiting to see who can crumble. Maybe it's Georgia that will fall. They got beat pretty bad by Florida on Saturday. I don't know yet, but I do think in Oklahoma's in contention to fall. But everybody keeps stepping up a lot, like Texas did and Vanderbilt did, so it's really hard to say and that's ten or eleven at large bits gone, just poof from one league out of thirty seven total at large bids to deliver. And then the Big ten's gonna gobble up eight or nine bids, you have to think, and the Big twelve is gonna get probably seven or eight. And what does that leave left even for the ACC? In the Big East? That next cut what we used to call a power conference. I think we need a new name for it. Honestly, I think those top three leagues are definitely gonna gobble the majority of the bids. The ACC is a massive eighteen team conference. ACC is better this year. You know, Louisville's really stepped up, wake Forest has really stepped up, Clemson is very solid. We know about Duke, so that should give them five as it stands now. For Pittsburgh's another team that was the last team in my field as of the start of the weekend. You also have a couple other contenders in the mix, like SMU is still pretty relevant. We'll see if there's an angle for them to get six bids, But man, if they do, what does that leave for the Big East? What does that leave for everybody else? Not much it's fascinating. I personally don't love it. I'm sure if you're a fan of one of those leagues or you just want college basketball to be a totally different looking sport than it has before.
They're getting what you want right now.
But for me, I'd much rather see each league get seven bids or less and we get two bid Valley two Big Big West, two bid Conference USA, and three or four bids to like the Mountain West and the WCC and the American The wealth does not spread out that way anymore. The transfer portal money is insane in these top three leagues, to the point where you're better off being a second or third stringer at the worst team in the SEC than you are being the man for a Conference USA team in terms of finances. And that's the kind of stuff you're seeing play out in the bracket forecast as well.
Yeah, it's been really interesting to take a look at because here your point. My goodness, the SEC has been so powerful. But that's why you come to this podcast, Roco, because you're gonna make the same amount of money on a Conference USA game as you are an SEC game.
You make the same amount of.
Money in a Celpham game as you are an SEC game as well. So that's why we love having you on this show, as we've got Rocke Miller, who does such a tremendous job over at Bracatta dot org joining me on Costco. Soup said, you mentioned it. Even though there's probably gonna be a lot of one big leagues like the Big West Conference USA, what have you, there's still been a lot of quality play that we've been seeing in terms of these leagues and just what has been standing out to you among the majors because I know that you mentioned this conference a few weeks ago, and I'll bring it up once again. Conference USA, just night in, night out has been delivering such great theater for myself.
Yeah, it's a hard league because the travels really brutal.
You know.
It stretches from Las Cruces, New Mexico, all the way east to Lynchburg, Virginia, and down south to Miami area for FIU, so there.
Is a lot of ground to cover. The places in the middle are hard to get to as well.
Right now, the league leader is Middle Tennessee as we speak, kicking the court on a Saturday against Louisiana Tech and rushing Louisiana is hard to get to. They played at Sam Houston on Thursday night. Huntsville, Texas is two hours away from a major airport, so it's not just a flying but you fly and then you bust somewhere like that's pretty hard and it increases the chances for road losses. It means that the Conference USA champions probably going to have four losses or more. I would say, maybe even five unless a couple teams just really crumble at the bottom. It's a really difficult league, inequality league. You know, there's some really high level talent, you know Daniel Batcho. Of course, Louisiana Tech gets a lot of love, but there's been a lot of great emerging players. I covered Kannessas State on the broadcast up in Canada for three straight days. Blown away by not only Simme and Coddle's you know, senior scoring ability, a lot of veteran experience from Coddle, but Adrian Wooley is a guy, one of the best freshmen I've seen all year, and he's at the Conference USA level. He just filled it up in their big win on Thursday. So you're seeing tremendous talent across the leagues, and you know it might be really hard for these rosters to keep some of these guys going into next year. Also same with the Big West. You know, there's not an easy night in the Big West. You see Irvine just found out the hard way another big battle and this time they fell against Riverside on Thursday night. Riverside has now knocked off both the big dogs of the Big West. You see San Diego and you see Irvine in consecutive weeks. And Mikey meg Pio's got the best point guard in the league. Barrington Hargris. I mean, he's looking like I don't want to compare him to Kobe or anything, but he's wearing number twenty four. He's taking those unbelievable step back jumpers. He's feeling more confident than I've ever seen him, and he's still a really young guy. He's gonna get some big offers, I think, to move up in the portal as well. But really exciting the year for the Big West. There's so much quality. Hawaii is tough, you see Santa Barbara's very talented. Cal Stton Northridge is extremely athletics, so there's so many great games to watch in both the Big West and conferences Incus are Valleys, Bill, the Missouri Valley, Drake very relevant in the at large picture, as is Bradley. Bradley's not out of it yet either. So you have your two top horse top here. But the next tier is really quality as well with UIC's really stepped up. Belmont is electric when they're hitting threes. You have Northern Iowa also electric when they're clicking offensively. You know, Murray States pulled off a couple big upsets, and there's a lot of depth in the Missouri Valley and it has the best conference tournament. So we can go on and on, but those three really stand out as leagues where you would love to see them at least get a couple teams into March Madness.
Oh, no question about it. I am right there with you. I would love to see two teams from Conference USA. I would love to see the top two teams from the Big West getting in as well. And those teams they have been providing a whole lot of fun this season. As Rocke Miller, who does great workover at bridfeere dot org. He's joining to be right here on coastco Seeps and Rocco. As you can tell, the Sundays late a little bit more bare than the Saturday s late. But a conference at is going to be coming to the forefront, and a conference at it's going to be interesting to see if they're going to to be able to get multiple bids in. That would be the American because you're gonna have what I consider to be the top two teams in action on Sunday, and with UAB their starting rise up still put them a little bit below North Texas Sell and we are going to be seeing North Texas, who actually all three of those teams are five to one right now in conference play. Going into Sunday, North Texas is gonna go up against FOURIGN lank at home Memphis, They're gonna get that test against UAB. What do you make out of those two games, becaus I think that those are going to be really intriguing ones for Sunday where there's gonna be more eyes on them because, for lack of a better term, nobody else wanted to play a Sunday game.
It's interesting.
It's all television contracts at the top, so American does have a Sunday deal. I was actually in Charlotte last Sunday and covered the Charlotte Memphis game, So they have that nice little ESPN two slot while everybody else is watching football. So hopefully if you're at a bar, or if you have a couple of TVs at home, you can just pop this Memphis UAB battle on one of your side TVs if you are into football, and I think this matchup UAB is going in there at a really good time. And uab's really started to click and figure things out out during their win streak. If you run the numbers just since New Year's Day, greg UAV's a top sixty team and they're undefeated in January at five and zero.
Memphis some of the human nature.
We see this almost every year from them to where they play a killer non conference, which they did again. They got great wins in that non conference stretch where they're beating Ole Miz, they're beating Michigan State, Yukon, and they have some awesome wins. Their resume is established. That's really important for the Americans. The American a likely path to two bids. Either if Memphis falls in the American Tournament, that's obviously the easiest path. The other path would be if North Texas or maybe UAB would have to be red hot the rest of the way because they did take too many falls in non league. But maybe they could get back into the large picture themselves. And if that isn't going to happen, they need to get the road win at Memphis. So that's what we have on Sunday, Greg, I imagine UAV's underdogs. I don't look at it as close as you, but I think the way Memphis has played the last few performances, it's really hard to get them to be on point as alert.
Maybe you being around will do that.
I don't think they will, because to Memphis, they've already played the big national teams, UAB and everybody else in the American doesn't wake you up quite the same way.
Maybe Penny's thinking it would be good to take a loss at this point.
Obviously it's never good to take a loss for your resume, but sometimes for your locker room. All the questions they've been getting in the post game, like I was at the press conference last week.
Are just all about like, why can't you guys play as.
Good as you were earlier in the year, And to me, like I don't agree with those types of questions, but that's what they're hearing from their local media, and it's just one of those things where it's permeating around the building.
I think at some point Memphis slips.
This is an obvious place where they would slip, maybe a little bit of a sleepy Sunday. Memphis fans are great, but with NFL distractions and other things in that area, perhaps UAV's playing them on a perfect day.
So I'm really looking forward to that.
Another one that's really important for the bubble is Maryland at Indiana, And who knows, maybe it won't be important for the bubble later this year, but as it stands today it is.
Maryland just kind.
Of emerged from the bubble with their big road wind at Illinois a top twenty performance level team, so they're a solidified tournament team as it stands now, but they certainly don't want to go backwards a road game at Indiana, who's in the sixties in the net. Indiana is my first team out of the field going into the weekend, so they're right there on the cut line. They basically keep yoyo in and out based on winning a game losing a game.
They just lost to Northwestern.
Everybody knows about what's going on with Mike Woodson right where at any moment he could be gone or maybe there's like a chance of him surviving unless they go to the Sweet sixteen or make it Kevin Keats.
Type run this year.
So you just wonder when the whole thing's going to break at Indiana.
But so far on.
The court, it's been hard to see because, you know, besides one or two performances against really good teams, they've been pretty much in every game either winning close or losing close. So this Maryland team, they're riding a huge high where they're off a twenty plus point win at Illinois. Very interesting, like the dynamics body language, how that game starts.
Yep, that was a massive one that they had over Illinois a few days ago. With Tomas lava Vsitch out of the fold for that one, sounds like he might not be able to go against the Northwestern as well, So that's gonna be a little bit of an impact as well. And the Big Ten just continues to be a very unclear conference. In my opinion, what have you made out of it? Because we're noticing Purdue certain rise up a little bit, but they took that loss against Io State. We're going to be seeing Nebraska and Wisconsin getting going on Sunday as well. Wisconsin has been one of the few like consistent teams out there in the Big Ten and I did not have the highest expectations for them coming into the season as well. And you mentioned Maryland, they've certainly been one of the top teams in the conference as well. It just feels like there's a lot of for lack of a better term, we're going to use a kids term here. There's a lot of mid out there in the Big Ten right now.
There is, Yeah, I mean the teams are all pretty even.
I mean even Michigan State, the team that's undefeated so far, they had a pretty I don't want to take anything away from them because they've handled their business, including in Illinois win last weekend. It was a very tight game against the healthy Illinois team. They've had one of the softest schedules and that's the problem. You have eighteen teams in a league, greg, these schedules are not balanced. So just pull up if you haven't looked.
At it yet.
Michigan State's February schedule, they won't go oh and eight for the month, of course, but you could see a path to where they are.
They have.
Every single one of their games is challenging, and I think they're all quad one. Whereas you know, they'll end this month with a home game with Nebraska to finish. They get that taken care of, they'll be nine to zero going into February. But there's a good chance in Michigan State has a losing record next month, and that goes to show you not only how even the league is, it's all about, you know, situations. These road trips are kind of crazy for the teams, especially out here in the West that are constantly going back to the East, and when the teams come out West, it's been a good little separator in my opinion. You know, Purdue coming out and beating Oregon, Wisconsin coming out and you know, they handled usc pretty well, they almost took down in Ucla. I thought that was a good sign for Wisconsin long term. But then you see like the Iowa's come out and just get blasted. You see Maryland come out and lose to Washington. You're still having doubts about them. So it is a good way to kind of gauge because each of the teams that are not from the West, they have to come out just one time.
And you know, it's a character It's really a character.
Test more so than a skill test, because going all that ways and prepping for a game, you'll see like different factors like how just how talented a team is, but more importantly have connected they are as a group. I think that's where I like that wisconstant team, but overall, like even some of the bottom teams are really rising up. Minnesota knocked off Oregon here on Saturday. They've actually performed as a top thirty team in the country this month, really really surprising. I don't think anybody saw that coming. They've run on the road at Iowa earlier this month. At the start of the year, I thought Penn State was going to be the team that kind of rose up. They started off to an amazing start, but then when they got some injuries, when asball Way missed some time, they have not been able to regain that confidence level and they've really really slipped one in five since New Year's and not even in the top one hundred. Iowa has some rumors about McCaffrey and they've been disappointing, and you've got the Indiana situation. So yeah, it's it's been a little surprising these names that have ended up towards the bottom and teams like Minnesota and now USC really is starting to make a splash with three USC has three true road wins in this league. Not many teams do, so yeah, yeah, it just goes to show you from top to bottom, there's not a lot of separation.
Yeah, I mean, it's been incredible what we've been seeing out the Big Ten. To your point about Michigan State, they've been the lone team that really hasn't had a slip up, but they've also played the lesser teams in the conference as far. So we're gonna be seeing what we get out there, and it's gonna be a fun Sunday in college basketball. And it's always fun having you a board, Rock Go because you do such an amazing job deciphering it all. You do a great job over on brack Heere Dot Oregon. Then couple with that your show over there on the Field of sixty eighth, the mid major show with you and Sean Paul is excellent as well.
So love to get people at home.
You know it's all tough for you, and now people can follow on on social media and other platforms.
Hey, I always appreciate it. Greg.
Yeah, you can follow me at rocke Miller eight on both Blue Sky and x slash Twitter. My brackets here dot org. Website is built for bracket forecasting education. So doing my best to add more and more to the articles. I know they've been brief lately because of all the shows, but I think next week I'm off for one of the days and hopefully I'll be able to get a longer article out about the process of selecting the field and what the bubble picture looks like in more detail, and if you have an opportunity. Every Monday and Friday on the Field of sixty eight platform, I'm on the fielding the sixty eight show five pm Eastern, two pm Pacific out here and then the mid Major Show with Sean Paul. We usually dropped sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. Typically just depends on when we get the guest we want. We just had Zavi and Lee from Princeton, which was awesome. He hit two game winning shots one buzzer beater last weekend, so he was the perfect guy. We kind of take our time with the guests to make sure we get the right person. If you ever want to have a mid major star or coach, you know, drop me a DM or tweet us who you want. We'll try to interview everybody we can. It's been an awesome experience. Those are the main things I'm working on. Obviously we're here in January. There's lots of other cameos, radio shows.
Et cetera.
As updates will come from Twitter. Looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out. The bubble as it always is in January, Greg is very messy, so these results will help dictate where we're heading.
Oh absolutely, it's gonna be a fun next few months. In college basketball, We're getting closer and closer to Selection Sunday, and that's when Rocko shines the best, and every single time he joins me, he leans such great insights. So big thanks to Roco for joining me on seeps now part of the Vson Family podcasts and coming in next It is that time the podcast. I give you picks and analysis at every game.
I'm the betting board for this college.
Basketball Sunday Athleets and Dank Time, and we're rank here, love me Las Vegas for coscos seeps with myself Greg gps Peterson now part of the Vson Family podcast.
Always great to be joined by rock O Miller. Such great work over at bracketeer dot org. They get a look at this great game that we all know and love. Has been a wild last few weeks of college basketball. He's done a great job of gauging at all, being able to keep his finger on the pulse of a little bit of everything, and every single time he joins me len such good insights. So big thanks to Rocco for joining me and lyas segment. Now it is that time of the podcast they give you picks in analysis on every game on the betting board for this college basketball Sunday, as we hit some bank shots.
Most financial establishments calls at a certain time, but not here. It is time for a sign in total on every game on today's betting board bank shots.
Do you note that, as per usual, any changes there made to these plays will be listed up on my Twitter slash x feed at you and and are scorty one you're gonna be going in las agssertation or this is pretty much with regards to tip time in terms of the bigger conferences, and then the extra games are going to be the Northeast Conference along with that Patriot League game involving Navy and Army, and then those from there are also in time order. Sow about if we do get things served with eight thirty seven, eight thirty eight. If you've got Maryland, they're going to be on the road against Indiana. Indiana has find themselves as a home underdog of four points. Tonals game is between one forty nine to one forty nine and a half and with Maryland something as a three and a half point favorite, four is my bypoint on Indiana certainly has been a rough covient for Indiana to say lease the last few weeks and with Malik Reneu currently being injured and has led to Indiana having a little bit of a tougher time on the boards. You saw Lumarbollo who's been able to give the team darn near a double double fourteen points and rebounds per game, but the guard play has still been leaving quite a bit of something to be desired. Luke Good he has been able to give you eight and a half points per contest and has shot relatively well from three part and j overall for the season shooting north of forty percent from the outside tray. Galloway gives you about seven points to thirty six percent for three four usist per contest, which has been good. And Indiana has been able to help out a little bit in terms of being able to mitigate the turnovers, but still twelve and a half turnovers game a little bit too much. And they do go up against the Maryland team that is in the top thirty nationally in terms of both points scored end points allowed on a per possession basis. Derek Queen has done a really good job of teaming up with Julian Retelle though these two guys combined about seventeen or soe rebounds per game. But Indiana should be able to hold up there even with having Malika Renew currently out of the fold. Do you still have McKenzie and Bacbo who has been able to give you a double figure amount of points shoots in the mid thirties from three pints. He's able to give you good versatility. Ronnie Rice has been a little bit of her miss from three parts recently, still shooting about thirty four percent from three He gives you twelve points per contest, and like what Sultan Miguel has been able to bring to the table about eleven points, shoots thirty nine hundred percent from three points. But I do think that Indiana, and a little bit of an earlier AM game on the home floor, they're going to be able to hold in this one. It has been an Indiana team that has been a little bit of her miss with regards to a three point shooting percentage defense, but this has been a team has been able to do a little bit better job recently.
I'll be able to guard the arc.
Certainly was a less in tremendous effort that we saw against Northwestern a few days ago. But I do think that with Indiana they do show you a little bit more on offense. I've been liking what I've been seeing out of Bryce and Tucker as Valley former top Winner recruit. He's been able to come in the team six points per contest to score nine plus and two out of the last three. So he's been able to give this team a little bit of sign of brightness. And I do think that with Indiana they hold in this game. Don't think that they pull it off all right, I do think that Maryland goes on the road wins this game. But do you think that this can be a nip and tuck game. You see some late game felling, So I did some my total at a one forty nine and a half. Right now, I'm seeing mostly one forty nine and a half in the market I was seeing before a one forty nine. If we can get down to a one forty nine one forty eight and a half, that'll be my by point on the over to go along with Indiana at a four plus hey thirty nine eight forty on the bank board. This will be a game the right up. Dukine is on the road against Fordham. Fordham is a home underdog of three points in your tolln this game is one thirty nine and all right up to Caine in this spot. As I did set them as a five point favorite, I'm gonna be willing to lay his. Ducaine team is a top sixty team nationally terms of points a lot on a per possession basis in a road slide shich recorded environment. And you've got a Fordham team that has broken the sixty six point plateau once since Christmas. That was that crazy triple overtime game that they played against UMass. This has been a squad that just has not been able to find a lot outside of Jackie Johnson. Jackie Johnson has been absolutely tremendous for the team as right now he is flying them with nineteen points to an emphasis per contest if that matter is now give you about twelve and a half points per contest as well. But it's the squad that they shoot thirty three percent from three and the bread and butter of Fordham used to be what they were able to provide down lo. This is now a team as well outside the top one eighty with regards to rebound percentage. They're doing an okay job. We'll be able to give themselves a few second and third chances are inside the top turner with the guards offensive rebound rate, but they give up a lot of second and third chances themselves. This is a Ducaine team that they have any top one our team with the guards percentage of their own misshots, they result in an offensive rebound in for the kame certainly a team that they leave something to be desired with guards for perimeter defense, they are allowing to put us to shoot over thirty five percent for three points. They've been outside the top two seventy five. With that regard that said, you've been able to find a bit more in the backboard with Dray Dinkins now being that main score. Give you a little bit over eleven and a half points per contest. Shoot starts of thirty seven percent from three pints at Jake de Michelle and early on the season Earth this team. But now you're seeing Cameron Crawford being able to step up in Maximus Edwards, who was really good over at George Washington last season, had a little bit of a rough govid to begin the season. Now he's been able to pick it up. He's been able to get the team forty five points in lions three games after last year over at George Washington. It's everything about twelve to half points shooting in the mid thirties from three points. Do like his overall upside. It's a Ducaine team that is doing a good job of rebounding by committee as well. You've got Jashan Corbin Alon David Dixon who both provide between five and six rebounds per game. But you evens have someone like a Hlio Berry who went he's been out there because he has been dealing with a little bit of injury, has been able to give you about four to five rebounds per game. He's been a rock solid room protector that really doesn't give you a lot of scoring. But it's very clear what this Ducaine team is looking to do. Make these games slow, grimy.
Just in general awful.
And you do have a Fordham team that has been cranking up their temple a little bit more, and for that matter, the last few years, they've been playing a little bit faster. This Fordham team turns the total possessions per game, they ranked twenty fifth in all of college basketball. Part of that is that triple overtime game that we did see weeks to go, so to that number is a little bit warp. Meanwhile, you've got a Ducaine team that's about three and twenty fifth in all of college basketball in terms of total possessions preame. I do think that Ducane gonna be able to slow down this game, and I think that they're going to get their style, play good defense, and get the job done. I set my line at five. I'm gonna be willing to lay with Ducane. Maybe my total a one to thirty five. So also and on this total under as well forty two on the betting board. UAB is on the road against Memphis. Here's a game now right up as Memphis does find themselves as an eight point favorite, the total one fifty six, running up the over. I set my total out a one to sixty one half. I've got a UAB team that has been really good with their offense away from home. They're actually number five in all of college basketball in terms of points scored on a per possession basis away from home. Away from home now outside the top three ten in terms of points allowed on a per possession basis, so they are playing air bring games. This is a pair of teams that rank in the top seventy five in turns of total possessions per game.
And you excel.
Lendyborg has been one of the better players in all of college basketball this year, as he leads a team in every single statistical category seventeen points, ten rebounds, a seal and a half, a block and a half, and four point two assists per game. She's thirty one point four percent for three point inch which team as all, they shoot about thirty three and a half percent for the outside, so and that's on power for them. You've got to Bory McGee, who's been a nice guy in the back court to be able to give you about thirty five percent three point shooting about ten points per contest.
A real sharpshooter.
It's Tony two Nay who's been able to give you eight a half points. She's forty four percent from three pint inch. This is a UAB team that is having issues in terms of being a reguard the three point line. They're outside the top two twenty five with that regard. This is a Memphis team that they themselves had a really difficult time guarding the three point line to begin the season, but they shaped up a little bit more with that regard. Now teams are shooting closer about thirty two and a half percent for three. And this is so Memphis team that ranks in the top fifteen nashally with regards to their overall three point shooting percentage. As Tigers Hunter, she's forty two and a half percent from the outside fifteen points per contest on of VMPJ Haggerty. He's able to give you twenty two points per game, but it's been the main Krypto Nite for Memphis. It's been their issue for the last few seasons. The turnovers fourteen after anovers pre game. They go up against the AaB team though that is outside the top two twenty five in turns of turnovers four son a purposes basis, Memphis also outside the top two fifty reserves of defensive rebound percent north of thirty percent of opponents fits shots turned into an offensive rebound. UAB one of the top teams in all of college basketball being able to generate those offensive rebounds, but Memphis A themselves to have dan jay Ja Musasise, who combined for five offensive rebounds of their own. Kobe Rodgers has been able to get the seam eleven points per contest. Do you think that you get a nice up and down game here. I do think that Memphis is going to be able to win out. I do think that with the UAB just i lack of defense out on the road, it's going to come back to knit them in the bud. And this is a Memphis team that in a Nipo Tuk spot the top three scores of Memphis, I'll shoot at least seventy eight a half percent at the free flying So I'm going to be willing to lay here with Memphis at them as a nine and a half point favorite nine with a total submine at a one to sixty one a half for writing up the over, and I'm going to be willing to lay the number here with Memphis eight forty three, eight forty four.
On the betting board.
Is Nebraska on the road against Wisconsin, and Wisconsin does find themselves as a favorite of eight and a half points thoughts game between one fifty one a half to a one fifty two. I'll be riding this one up as well I did. Somebody told one forty seven a half. I'm in on the under. Nebraska just as not been able to find a lot of three point shooting when they've been away from home. They're only shooting from three pints about thirty one a half percent from the outside. Albeit right now there's long opponents to shoot North at thirty nine percent from three points away from home. I do think that that should be ironing out a little bit more. They've been much better with that defense when they've been at home. But that said, I do think that Wisconsin is going to be able to get the job done out right, but I can only set them as a seven and a half point favorite. Now that we're getting up to an eight plus, I actually do like the points here with Nebraska. Nebraska top one twenty five team towards the turnover sports on a per possession basis. I like the way that Brice Williams is playing right now, eighteen and a half points. She's thirty seven percent from three points. Really the constant for this team, and this is the Connor Siasion, shall we say, revenge game for Nebraska's He was over at Wisconsin last year, just really fell into Greg Guard's doghouse. Said, I think we're starting to see why, because you either get really good connor Is Sision or you get really bad connor Is Sision with nothing in between. Over last five games he has given the team six seventeen to twelve, six and fifteen points, So you just don't know what you're going to be able to get out of him. But for Nebraska, the key is what are they going to be able to get down low? Because you've got a lot of guys like Roley Worcester, Jawan, Gary Andrew Morgan keep between about four to four and a half rebounds bread with Burkey, but tisl who's been the main rebounder for the team, giving you about a block sixt rebounds per contest, comes on over from UCLA. Meanwhile, Nolan Winter has been able to do a pretty solid job for a Wisconsin team that it's not that they're an amazing three point shooting team. They're in the top one honor with regards the are at three point shooting percentaget about thirty five and a half percent, but hardly in the top winner. They're just right now doing the little things well. They're the number one team in off college basketball shooting eighty five and a half percent at the free flying each have your top seven scores shoot at least eighty percent of the free flying so in a cover spot, that's very good for you. They only turn the bobber about ten and a half times per game as well, with John Blackwell really being that top scorer ever since the beginning of the month of decemberies right now after about sixteen and a half points per contest. But this has been a guy that's been turning it on a little bit more ever since the beginning of the month of December. Heck, if you just take a look at what he's been able to do in Big Ten Play. In Big play's averaging eighteen plus points per contests. Have been liking what I've been seeing on them. While john Tonjay, he's still been able to slide this team with right and then neighbored about seventeen a half points per contest. Really your main guy from three point inches, he's shooting thirty eight and a half percent for three though, Kamari McGee he's been shooting fifty four percent from the outside of Granted, he doesn't necessarily provide as much as Tone Jay in terms of scoring with about some points per contest, but that's been quite remarkable as well. But I do think that with Nebraska, they're gonna be able to do a relatively solid job on the glass. This is a Wisconsin team that in terms of percentage of their mid shots that result in an offensive rebound, well outside the top two twenty five with that regard, not a Wisconsin team that's going to put you under too much dress as well. In terms of turnovers force on a per possession basis certainly outside the top two seventy five with that regard, and has been a pretty efficient Wisconsin team, but I do think that they're gonna get slowed down a little bit more here in conference plane.
I do think that with.
Nebraska, they're going to do a solid job being able to generate just a few turnovers. This has been Nebraska team has been a little bit better with your interior defense rather than a three point shooting defense. Do think that they're going to force things a little bit more to the inside in this one. So to sell my line at a seven a half, heready plus gonna be one to think those points with the brask end gonna be riding up the under semi total one forty seven and a half, eight to forty five, eight forty six on the baking board. You've got Florida and lank They're on the road. They're facing out against North Texas. North Texas does find themselves as an eight point favorite Tonalds game, and it's between one thirty seven and one thirty seven a half, And this is another game that I'm gonna be riding up. I'm actually riding up the over, which I mean it's daring in an Art Texas game, because they are about three hundred and sixty second out of three hundred and sixty four D one teams in terms of total possessions per game. But at home they're a top forty team in terms of points scored on a per possession basis, so they've been able to do a great job generating offense. You've got a Florida and Lank team on the flip side that's two and twenty eighth in the country in terms of points a lot on a purposession basis. And this is a good old temple war. Well, you do have an Art Texas team that plays super slow, super under control. You've got on the flip side a Flora and Lank team. Then they're in the top fifteen in terms of total possessions per game away from home as well. So it's a good old situation. If something's got to give, this has been a Flora and Lang team has been one of the worst three point shooting defensive teams.
In all of college basketball.
Right now. They are a lying but it's to shoot north of thirty nine percent from three point innge at his bottom five mark in all of college basketball, and the life blot for North Texas is three point shooting away is eight to Wright being mister right being able to give you fourteen plus points, shoots in the nine thirties from three pointe And then on the flip side, you do have a flor and Lang team as just loaded with scores. You've got eight different guys they give you north of seven points per contest, nobody that gives you north of twelve and a half points per contest. So Tray Carroll has been that main guy. He's been able to give you about twelve and a half points per contest. And then have to love the versatility of Bob but Miller one point eight blocks, seven rebounds, eleven points per game. He's been able to shoot about thirty four and a half percent from three point inch Kai Kai Tandy, He's been able to come on a little bit stronger year this season as well as he's been able to shoot about thirty seven percent from three point inch. He's supplying the team with nine points per contest. So you've got some nice mixing and shaking with the guards as Floren Lang team. And for Flora and Lank, they seem to be one of those teams with an uncannability to be able to get games really played in their own liking.
As they have given up at least seventy.
Three points and now all but one out of their last seven games, and tells me that they are very much getting their style. They've been a little bit muted in terms of some of the scoring in some of these games. I do think that that could be the case here, But I do think the North Texas is going to be able to get there. Is because even if they don't necessarily have a tone going with reguards to the back court, they should be able to control things down low, be able to get those second chances. With Moulay Sisoco give you about five and a half to six rebounds prea throws in their seven points per contest. Jothan Massey has been versatile for the team. He's able to give you about nine points per contest. This has been a North Texas team that has done a really good job of not allowing second chances as well. Teams are generating fewer than eight offensive rebounds per game against them. If you look at percentage of misshots that turned into an offensive rebound. This is a North Texas team that does rank in the top thirty nationally. They're in This has been a North Texas team has been a top fifty team with the guards to points allowed on a purpossession basis. This North Texas team pretty brought solid with the guards their perimeter defense as well. Right now for North Texas, they're allowing opponents to shoot in the neighbor to about thirty three percent for three parrange, but that does go up to thirty five point three percent when they have been at home. So do you think the flor and length find some open looks there in the end. I do think the flora length they themselves give up too many open looks. So going to be writing up the over semi total one forty three and a half in when North Texas made them a nine and a half point favorite, going to be willing to lay the eight a forty seventy to forty eight on the bank were Tolsal plays also with Chita Seate and which Chita seat test find themselves as a favorite of four and a half points on the road drawn scheme between one and forty four to one forty five and with all site it's at them as a underdog of three and a half points. I'm actually gonna be willing to think the points this has just been a whatch toss saety and that's happening about popp it from three par range. They're shooting is collective less than thirty two percent from the outside. I do think that that's going to be going northward as the season goes along. I think they you just have a little bit too much shooting. But it seemed to be as bad. As a matter of fact, it's actually gone down to thirty and a half percent from three part range with what we saw against Memphis a few days ago. But this has been a team that has been headlined by Xavier Bell with regards who are scoring, He's been able to shoot forty percent for three He's given you fourteen points per contest. Nobody else on the roster other than a g McGinnis who only gives you three and a half points per contest. She is about thirty three percent from three points. Corey Washington good versatility seven and a half boards, serves in there a steal thirteen a half points per game. But Whichita State just does not have the defense to be able to hold up the way that they're playing right now. This is the Wichita State team that they themselves while they're not good at being able to pop it from three points. They've been giving up a lot of three point looks. Wichita State right now outside the top two hundred with reguards of opponents three point shooting percentage is right now. They are a lying upon us to shoot north of thirty four and a half percent from the outside. That's a little bit of an issue. Now they do go up against a Tulsa team as pretty ghastly with regards to their defense as well, they're outside the top one seventy five in terms points a lot on a per possession basis, which really the one thing that they're doing guarding the three point arc. They're in the top one erd with yards that they're three point shooting percentage defense, So they've been able to do a nice job there. And you do have a guy in Keison Wills who's able to give you fourteen plus points per contest. He's been shooting in the high thirties from three points. Now, the real issue that you do have for this bunch is that you don't have a lot to down lo and that should allow for Wichita State them to be able to win the battle down lois you do have Quincy Valor, who stands right around about six foot eleven, giant of the earth, who's been able to give you a block and a half for contests or is in there some plus rebounds per game, so he's been able to do a tremendous job. But Ian Smeckel on the flip side for Tulsa has been able to come up strong. He's been able to give you a closer about five and a half to six rebounds per game. He's been emerging as the season has won along. And then you got duan Otum, who's a little bit of sad. She'd suffered four point nine rebounds, four point nine assays, thirteen a half points per game for a Tulsa team. Then it's started the ball over about eleven and a half times for contest. You'd like to see them sure that up a little bit more. And then sixty seven percent free throw shooting. That's a little bit less than savory there, much like with Chita State having a difficult time from three point shooting about thirty one point seven percent from the outside. They do need a little bit more from Tyson Archie. Archie overall for the season give you about eleven points per contest, but five games he has generated zero nineteen eleven, four and two points, so he has certainly been all over the place and then justin Abodi down low and has been able to give this team right around about four or so rebounds per game. I do think that Wichita State good to be able to win this game and within. But that said, with the way that Wichita State is playing round the perimeter, both with the guards to their offense and their defense, that is going to be able to keep this Tulsa team in the game. So I did see online at three and a half, I'm gonna be one take those points. This is a Tulsa team that is looking to play quite a bit more up tempo, and this is a Wichita State team that they of themselves are not shy to run. So I do think they're going to be able to get a lot of possessions in this game. Tulsa in the top seventy five with the guards of the total possession sprame Wichita State. They are clocking in more on that neighbor in about sixties, so did sebody totalty seven a half. I like the over and with Wichita State four and more has just become a cell point for me. I'm going to take north of four here with Tulsa go along with that total over in forty ninety to fifty on the betting board, it is Onoi playing outs to Northwestern and Northwestern finding themselves as an underdog of between seven and a half to eight points totals. Game is one forty seven. A half to one forty eight. Does seem as though Tilmaslfa Vsach is going to be out of the full due to illness that kept him out a few days ago, so he's right now dealing with that. But even with him being out, I did that Illinois as a ten point favorite. I'm going to be willing to lay the number. This is an Illinois team that certainly struggled without him in that game against Maryland. The biggest thing was they were really struggling on the defensive side things. Going into that game against Maryland, they had actually been the number or two team in all of college basketball in terms of points allowed on a perpossession basis on.
Their home floor.
They give up north of ninety in that game, So listen, Savory. But Casparis jack Usinius has been very good, very versatile for the team, gentlemen, from what Lithuanians right now is supplying sixteen points, five boards, five assists, seal per contests, shooting thirty eight a percent from three point a V. Sitch he's your main rebounder, so that is a big loss. But Trey White along with Will Riley have good versatility. These two guys combined for about eight rebounds per game. Both of these guys able to throw on their double figures in You've got a team in Illinois that they only shoot about thirty two percent from three points, with a V. Sitch actually being one we better three point shooters shooting thirty five and anine percent from the outside. But Ben Humericus when they've needed him to, he's able to step up in a big way given the teammate and half points shooting thirty six percent from the outside. This is a Northwestern team that they're just a little bit top have in my opinion, because you've got two absolutely amazing scores, says Brooks. Barneiser, he's been misterdoing it all for this team about nineteen points throws in their two and a half seals, four assists, nine rebounds per game, and Nick Martinelli twenty points per contest on forty three percent three point shooting. What are you going to be able to get outside that? Though, Jalen Leach has been a nice third wheel, shooting about thirty six percent from three to three assais thirteen a half points per game. But outside that, only one other guy gives you a north of four point eight points per game. That would be ty Barrieres right now, shooting about thirty nine percent from three points. He got injured last season. You can tell that he's probably not quite one hundred percent from that injury. This has been a team has been able to do a nice job breathing things in down low, with Matthew Nicholson being able to give you about four and a half rebounds per game. As what this team does well is that they don't allow opponents to be able to get a second and third chance opportunity. Now, the issue that they do have is that they themselves have had a little bit of a difficult time being able to haul in their second and third chance opportunities. But this is an Illinois team that they are not going to be affording you a lot of second chances on the glass. The team is number four and off college basketball, with opponents bounding only about twenty one point one percent of their miss shots. Kylon Boswalls may come on strong for this Illinois team as well. He's been able to give the team double figures in seven out of the last nine games. And this has been a Northwestern team that has done a nice job taking care of the ball top twenty five team, it turns a few turnovers on a perposession basis. Meanwhile, they themselves to rank in the top fifty in terms of turnovers force on a per possession basis. But I do think that Illinois finds way to take care of the ball with this Northwestern team not really having a ton of size. I do think that for Illinois, even with a V stitch being out of the fold, they do find a way to be able to get the job done in this spot. I did some my number at a ten, so I'm going to be willing to play with Illinois and with the guards to total did some mine out of one forty six. Do you think that the defense taking a little bit of a fall off while not having a V stitch out there, But at the same time as well, that'll be affecting the offense as well, and this is a Northwestern team that it's really not playing up Temple that while this is an Illinois team that they're certainly within the top forty with reguards to total possessions per game, Northwestern never really been a team to run a gun about one hundred and eighty seventh in the country terms of total possessions per game. So in on the under, and I'm going to be willing to lay the number here with Illinois if fifty fifty two is the last game on the normal outside gets betting board before we hit the extra games. Oklahoma State, they're gonna be on the road playing against Sexas Tech. Texas SEC is a favorite of seventeen points turn on scheme. It is one forty eight set by number at a seventeen and a half. Not willing to go any further than the seventeen, but I'm going to be willing to lay the seventeen. This has been an Oklahoma State team that has left a lot to be desired defensively. This is a top one twenty five team in terms of turnovers force on a purposess basis, But this is also an Oklahoma State defense that is currently one hundred and seventy fifth in the country terms of points a lot on a purposess basis, while it is I said he Terry o'dean led to all of college basketball last year in terms of steals per game with north of three steals per game, just hasn't been able to give you that same production this season. As your main scores right now for Oklahoma State are Marcella Savery a lot with Abdu Oosman. These two guys have been able to combine for about twenty five and a half points per contest, and both of these guys are forwards. The backcourt just says, I'll be able to give you a lot from the outside. They're shooting thirty three percent for three outside. The top turner Ashley with that regard being able to have Bryce Thompson when he's been out there being able to give you a right round about a steal per contest as well, So he's been helpful with that regard. It gives you a little bit of versatility. Shoots about thirty five percent from three pints, and then Khalil Brandley throws in there two and a half asis right around about one point three seals per contest.
As well.
But I think that Texas sack with having so many ball handlers out there on the floor. You bring in a guy in Elijah Hawkins, who I really like. He was over at Minnesota one of your tough facilitators in all of college basketball last year. He's picked up right where he left off there as he's been able to supply the seam with six point two assists to one point eight turnover spreame nine points per contest, shoots in the mid thirties from three points, chance McMillan continues to shoot forty seven percent from the outside, and then Darien Williams, he's just a statue suffer fifteen points, five and a half boards, four and halphasis shoots in the mid thirties from three points. Pair that up with GT top and give you nine plus rebounds per game with an Oklahoma State team that just hasn't necessarily done the world's greatest job on the glass. For Oklahoma State, they do rank in the top one twenty five with regards to rebound percent, and I will say, to their credit, this is a team that they're not allowing a lot of second and third chances for Oklahoma se in terms of percentage of misshots I turned into an offensive rebound for an opponent. They do rank in the top seventy five with that regard. But this is also a Texas Tech team that has been able to do a relatively solid job being able to generate those second and third chances for themselves, and when they've been at home, they've done a nice job of not allowing a lot of second and third chances for their opponents as well. Do you think that they're going to be able to own the last year with this Oklahoma State team? They themselves turn the ball over thirteen times for contests and being outside the top team seventy five terms of opponents three point ching percent? Do think that Texas Tech gets a job done and in convincing fashion? So did sell my total at a one forty nine a half year at the one to forty eight? Do you like the over Oklahoma seed playing out a top one twenty five piece in terms of total possessions? Frahm and Texas Tech top ten team with the guards to points scored on a per possession basis.
So do you like the over? And I do like Texas Tech playing the number. Now we hit the extra games.
The normal betting board picks are complete, but there are some extra games today, so we go into the bonus.
Three zero six five oh one three o six to five oh two Chicago Sea. They throw a face off against Central Connecticut. Central can a fifteen and a half point favorite, and your total is one twenty eight and a half Operation fate. Chicago State took a little bit of a setback a few days ago, but we're back on it. I did set Central Connecticut as an eighteen and a half point favorite. I'm going to be one delayed. Chicago State still second worst in all of college basketball in terms of points scored on a per possession basis. As a matter of fact, they and Mississippi Valley State the only teams that are scoring fewer than eighty four points per one hour possessions in all of college basketball. And for the Chicago State they score eighty one point nine points per one hour possessions. In a road slashe court environment, you've been able to have jail and four step up a little bit more for the seam, He's now been able to give you double figures. Over Crawford gives you nine points per game. And for Chicago State this is a top one seventy five team in terms of turnovers force on a per possession basis. But Central Connecticut is legitimately one of your better Big Major defenses they're going to find in all of college basketball. For Central Connecticut, they do a pretty rock solid job. I'll be able to generate turnovers, They've been able to do a nice job as well being able to keep things off the free throw line.
Is they're a lying up.
I wanted to shoot eleven point three free throws per game. That is actually the lowest mark in all of college basketball. This is a Chicago State team that they are very capable of getting gashed from three point range as well. Right now, Chicago Sea their a lying opponents to shoot from three parint enge in that neighbor about thirty four percent from the outside in the road slash court environment, and I do think that Central connect Gets going to be able to take full advantage of that. As you've got in the back court Jordan Jones along Devin Hade, who've been able to combine for about twenty five and a half points per contest. Your main three point shooter is Terrence Smith Junior, though he's been able to shoot forty five and a half percent from three points supplies the team with a little bit over some points per contests. This has been a bunch has been able to do a nice shower in terms of not allowing as a lot of second and third chances, albeit for Central Connecticut outside the top to seventy five in terms of percentage of their misshots that you result in an offensive rebound. But with the way that this team has just been able to get after it defensively a top seventy five team terms of point slot on a purposession basis, and for Chicago Seat they're a little bit better on the defensive side of things rather than the offensive side of things. But it's not really saying a lucky a lot because in terms of points slot on a possess basis, team clocks in number three hundred and all of college basketball. Do you think that Central Connecticut finds a way to be able to get the job done here? Do you think that this is gonna be high scoring game against Chicago? Seed is in the top winner with regards to total possessions scream, I did sell my total at a one twenty eight and a half. I saw this earlier at a one twenty seven a half. If we can get down to the one twenty seven a half in on the over and want to lay up to eighteen or with Central Connecticut three six five, with three three or six five o four, you've got Long Island and they're going to be on the road against Mercy Hears marse Years a home underdog of three points to on scheme is one twenty five and a half and with Long Island I did set them as a five and a half point favorite, going to be one to lay the three. This is a Long Island team has been pretty rock solid with regards to their defense and generating turnovers. Top one twenty five team with reguards to turnovers force on a purposeage basis, and for this a Long Island team, you look at the overall defense, there are about one hundred and thirtieth in the country turns points a lot on a purposage basis, while Merciers three one hundred and eighteenth. And this is a Merciers team that they just don't have a ton down low. Albeit this is not necessarily a Long Island team that's going to be having a whole bunch of size or anything like that. But I do like the versatility that you've got with regards to this Long Island team, as you've been able to have a lot of guys be able to step up, like Malchai Davis has been OsO versatile seventeen points three assists per contest. And then you've got Terrell Strickland that is the son of Rod Strickland, who's been able to sply eight a half points, four and a half boards, four and Halfhasus steel Afri contest shooting thirty five and a half percent from three. Prit Inch Shardicks Blast Sue has been able to spply the team with seven rebounds per game. He should be the best rebounder in this game, as Mercy Years really doesn't have anyone that sees beating ful minutes that's about six foot seven. You've been able to have Mike Coolest Ivan Awskis be able to give you about four to sell rebounds per game. He's right around about six foot seven six foot eight, and then Shamara than Mays going in the season, was pretty much the lone guy on this Marc Years team with previous Division One experience, has been able to give the team four assist per contests and for mercy hears they only turn the ball over a love times for contest. They are a top one twenty five team in terms their turnovers fource on a per possession basis, but they are currently allowing upon us to shoot north of thirty six percent for three pointe as outside the top three internationally. There are two point shooting defense outside the top two seventy five nationally. They themselves shoot about forty seven a half percent for two point range. That's outside the top three twenty five. Just cannot get a lot going down low Eden right cart right now, the lone guy that gives you a north of four rebounds per game, five boards, thirteen points per contest, describe it shoots forty two percent for three and Jeff plain nudis to shoot about thirty eight and a half percent from the outside. But this has been a Long Island team that has been pretty rock solid with the guards to being able to guard the three point line along with being able to generate those turnovers. This team does a good job along those lines as well. Long Island top one twenty five team matures upon three point twoting percentage, so did set Long Island as five and a half point favorite. I'm going to be one to lay the number and did some my total one twenty nine and a half. Do you think that you can get some late game felling and mercy years not as see the world's most efficient defense. So in on the under end, I'm going to be one to lay with the long Island three six five of five three or six five O six. Wigner is on the road agains Saint Francis, Pennsylvania. Saint France is a two and a half point favorite. Total scheme, you're gonna be finding it at a one twenty four and a half to a one to twenty five. I did set my total hand of one twenty four and a half, so one twenty five plus becomes my bypoint. On the under end, I did set my number at a two and a half as well, So I'm going to be waiting upon a little bit of line movement here two a less, willing to lay with Saint Francis three or more taking the points with Wagner. For Wagner, they continue to be a rock solid defense and a team has really been able to do a nice shop. I'll be able to take the ball Away. I do like the fact that Javier a Squera has been able to give the team right around about five assists per contests, and Salvez a Blake, who's been able to give you about nine points per contest two seasons ago, at you to be Green Bay, who's actually one of the better three point shooters in all of college basketball. And for Wagner, just to illustrate the point of their turnovers to point twenty five team in the country in terms of turnovers force on a purposession basis, they go up against the Saint Francis team that, by comparison more around about two undred eightieth in the country with this regard, but this is also a San Francis team that they should be able to do a relatively solid job downloading this game. You've had Valentine Pinto, who comes on over from East Carolina, be able to give the team right around about some boards signed and a half points per game. And then I do like the effect that Ridley Parker has really stepped up in the back court for the team as well. They needed a facilitator. He's been that three and Halfhsis shoots about forty three and a half orcent for three points. Twelve and a half points per contest, probably the best pure score that you're going to find in this game. Additionally, you've got a Saint Francis up Sylvania team that does rank in the top winner naturally turns upon a three point hitting percent, you're a lying punts to shoot less than thirty one percent from three points. This is the Wagner team that they can be a little bit in amiss with the Aards their three point shooting defense, so they allow U points on the road, they will only shoot about thirty one point eight percent from three at home, that actually goes up to about thirty five percent. With Wagner being a bottom ten team in all of college basketball turns point scored on a per possession basis, I mean it has been brutal turns out points scored on a per possession basis. Right now they are registering to be exact eighty eight point three points per one hour possessions, and that goes down to eighty two point eight away from home. I think that that's a little bit of an off four deal. But with Wagner, I do think that that defense keeps them lively. Like I said, at a one twenty five or higher in on the under and then with two or less one in the lay of Saint Francis in Pennsylvania, three or more gold be willing to take a shot here on Wagner three A six five or seven three or six five o eight in is so ill they playoffs to fairly Dickinson. Here's a game that I rode up fairly Dickinson. They hope to be fairly prices three a half point underdogs, totals between one forty two and a half to a one forty three and semi total one forty nine a half.
I'm in on the over.
You've got a fairy Dickinson team that's in the top seventy five nationally in terms of total possessions per game and three a ninth that turns the points a lot on a perposage basis. Additionally, Sonil wall outside the top to eighty five in terms of points a lot on a perposage basis if you look specifically at their own games. Now, if you look at this Sonil team as well, they're going to be most likely without Todd Brogna, who very interesting. He's been won their top scores as far the season six to seven, a little bit of a combo player with Brogna, he's been able to give you twelve points six sports per contest, shoots about forty for three points. For some reason, he did not play in the team's last game. I'm not sure why they were missing Josh Morgan for a little bit of time, but he should be back in the fold.
But in that game against.
Brogna, they hardly were able to play off the win against Chicago State, and I mean that was a game that was nip and tuck, but they still were able to get to seventy five points in that game. They still have more than an enough offense with Luis Simona being able to give you about ten and a half points per contest. He's been able to shoot about forty percent from three points. But what really took a departure for this team is a rebounding in the defense. And this is not a Sonhill team that does a great job of rebounding. To be in with outside the top two unner with reguards are rebound percentage, and it's a Fairy Dickinson team that may yearn in eurot just get absolutely demolished on the glass. They always won the small teams in all of college basketball. But that helps him out all the further in this game because maybe have the most versatile player out there on the floor. That'd be Terrence Brown, who's been able to give you twenty one points, six boards, three assists, two steals. On Shoo's about thirty percent from three points. But I've got Dylan Jones lanjol Emmanuel combined to shoot about thirty eight and a half percent from the outside. They've been able to combine for about twenty two points per contest, and Ahmad Barbara Bay has been able to do a really good job of being able to sply this team with about ten points. He shoots forty percent from three point inch as well. This has been a Sonyhill team that, to put it politely, they've been relatively sketchy with regards they're outside shooting defense, and Bailey Dickinson has actually been a top one seventy five team in terms of being a reguard the three point arc as well. This is Sonyhill team that they allow upon it to shoot about thirty three and a half percent from three point inch. It's about country average with that regard. Do you think that with Fairley Dickinson going against the Sonyhill team that if they have Bragna out there, he might not be one hundred percent. We don't know what the situation is there. But did not play in the last game. I do think that you see a very nice up and down game. I will say for Sonal not honessly the most uptempo team in the world. I was illustrating how bad their defense has been at home, but in terms of total possessions frame, actually one of the faster teams that you're going to find in this conference about two or ninety first in the country towards a total possessions frame. Any seat just has a whole bunch of slugs out there. So that said, this is a circumstance for I'm in on the over wrote that up semi total had a one forty nine a half and at two plus, we'll take the points with fair that they cons did, set them as one half point underdog, and then we wrap things up with three at six five nine three, six five to ten. It's the Army Navy game, as Army is a home team in this ordio. Right now, they are two point favorites. Told, this game is between one forty one to one two and with Army, I did set them as four and a half point favorites, so I'm going to be one to lay the number. This has been an Army team has been leaving a little bit of something to be desired defensively, and they do give up quite a bit from three partrange, just as an Army team that is allowing opponents to shoot at home about thirty six percent from three part range. But this has been an Avy team that they themselves have had something to be desired there as well, outside the top two ten with regards to opponents three point shooting Percentine to lay with the Army just because I do think that Jalen Rucker is going to be able to take over this game. Jaalen Rucker best scorer that you're going to be finding in this contest, as he's been able toply nineteen points, four and a half boards, three and half assis per contest. It is a top heavy Army team, but you do have a J. Allen Patch who should be able to do a nice job down low against Don Draper. As both of these teams for their respective teams six plus rebounds game. Allen Patch a little bit more for Army with about ten and a half points in half rebounds per game. And I love the way that Ryan Curry is sowing out the ball. He's able to give out four assists, has been able to throw in their twelve and a half points per game. It is an Army team that has cut down on the turnovers as well, only about eleven turnovers game now Army as has been in tradition, with this team shooting it badly at the free throw line. They're shooting sixty six a half percent at the charity straight But I said, this is an Avy team that even though they do have awesome Bengini who has been a really nice go to score, he's been able to sply the team with seventeen a half points four point three assists per contest. The defense has just once again been taking a little bit of a departure and they're just not winning these games on the interior. While this has been a team that has been in the top one fifty with the yards of rebound percentage, they do a nice job now allowing a lot of second and third chances on the class with having Draper down low. Additionally, you've got Aid and Koi, who's been able to give you nine boards ten and a half points per contest. You do have a team that is a little bit top heavy themselves. I do like what I'm seeing a jin Will Kim though, about eight points per contest, currently shooting fifty percent for three, and ben Jini she's about forty one half percent from the outside. But this has been an evy team has been very inconsistent with regards to that three point shooting percent overall for the season. As collective, they are currently shooting a thirty three point two percent from three point in That goes down about thirty two and a half percent in a road slide shaitch Core Venue. Meanwhile, this is an Army team has really been fireing all cylinders at home, thirty six alf percent three point shooting team at home compared to about thirty one a half percent in a road slide toitch Core Venue. Do you think they get a little bit more of an up and down game? Navy has been playing a little bit faster than in past year.
Is an Army.
Last year, when they didn't have Jail and Rocker out there, they really were playing at a salespace. But they've got that Tempo Pump backed up. They're back in the top one fifteen in turns of total possessions frame. So I did sell my total at a one to forty six a half. I'm in on the over animal in the lay up to four here with Army and that arrap things up for the Sunday edition of costcos Soops out Far the VS and Family Podcasts A big things to rock with Miller.
