Games for yesterday is Greig buzzing about.

Games for yesterday is Greig buzzing about.

Here is the rowdy recap. We didn't see a lot of fireworks in the early window, but we did see McNeese be able to pull an upset over Clempson. They very nearly let go of the rope in this game. But mcneesse they do find a way to persevere. They do find a way to be able to get the job done. Sixty nine to sixty seven the final in this one. As for mcneesse, Brandon Murray came up big with twenty one points and for McNee they just absolutely ran it hid with this game. As a matter of fact, they were up seventeen points with four to thirty remaining. Clemson somehow, some way makes a massive bounds I charge. They were down as many as ten points in the final ninety seconds. They very nearly mcdee said bold off in Old Texas a and m versus Northern Iowa from back in the day. But they do hold on McNeese with will wait on his way to NCCATE after this CAA tournament, they do find a way to get the job done. My point was indeed a low point for you though, and that was one for me to seventy five to sixty three high point. They do lose to Purdue, and High Point had a chance to be able to cover this game late with about four minutes and thirty seconds their mating. It felt like they had a little bit of an opportunity as they were actually as a matter of fact, with about seven minutes and change remaining down by just three points. But from there perdue they were able to take cold Tree Kaufman Ron was able to give the team twenty one points and Cameron Heidi how big was he. He was able to give the team ten rebounds. As the big fear for Purdue was download. They win the rebound battle forty five to twenty four. And for Purdue, Braiden Smith continues to do Braidon Smith's things twenty points six assists. So Purdue they do stave off and upset. Wisconsin was able to get a nice winning cover eighty five to sixty six final this one. As for Montana, they don't allow. Wisconsin really should have great from three seven to twenty three from the outside, but it was all about John Blackwell give you nineteen points five rebounds. For the Grizzlies of Montana, they had a rough time on the glass, losing that battle forty to twenty nine. As for Wisconsin, they actually lose turner battle eleven eight, but they always hit their free throws. This Batgers team does sixteen out of twenty at the charity's ripe. John Tonjay just two made field goals, but was able to go nine to nine at the free line. So Wisconsin they find a way to be able to win cover. And if you had the over in this game, that was a very underwhelming end to say the least. And this one was as well as for SIU Edwardsville versus Houston. You had seventy six points scored in the first half of this game, closing total right around about one twenty seven. Some of you might have gotten a one to twenty eight says well under the total seventy eight to forty to finalize, you just had a complete clunker of a second half. You had to combine forty two points as su Editardsville. They couldn't throw a grape in the ocean in this one. Two of twenty four from three point range. Houston just dominates this game, going ten of twenty eight from the outside LG. Crier fifteen points. He was able to drill four threes by lous Susan oh so efficient sixteen points, three assists, zero turnovers four Houston. They win that turner battle thirteen to seven. So they make a light work of su Editardsville for Auburn no cover against Alabama State, they looked tovey rough in the first fifteen minutes or so. They were able to have a nice end to the end of the first half, and then in the second half they were really able to get things going a little bit more Late they were up seventy nine to fifty five with about two minutes and change remaining before Alabama State puts on there a little bit of a window dressing, but eighty three to sixty three the final for our G and I Broom. He did clean up in this one. Fourteen points, eleven rebounds. Didn't quite feel like it, but TOADJH. Petterford off the bench, he was big, five boards, five assists, He's able to splash in their sixteen points. Auburn just eleven of thirty five from three points ten. They did go eighteen to thirty two at the free line. Going to need to clean that up, but defense was very rock solid six to twenty five from three points for Alabama State. For Tennessee, no cover but a Rocks all win seventy seven to sixty two final. In this one against Watford, looked like wafferd might be able to get a little bit close in this game, as they had this game right round about ten to twelve for quite some time. But Tennessee they were able to really put the climbs down on defense a little bit later on towards the second half of the game, as Wafford does go eleven to twenty six from three points, but Wafford loses a turner battle eleven to six for Tennessee. Chas Ldier, he is able to take over the game twenty nine points, six of thirteen from three points. That is going to be key for the Tennessee team moving forward. And for BYU at elevation they do get it done against VSU, this by account of eighty to seventy one. For VCU they actually go fifteen to thirty eight from three. The three point schoting was there Joe Bamacio, Max Schulga, they both go four of ten from three. They both give you identical twelve point lines and zeb Jackson he was able to splash in their twenty three points. But for BYU you've had Igor Deman be a really good facilitator for the team all season. He stepped up in a scoring standpoint fifteen points four boards. He goes three of seven from three. B YU just seven of twenty from three points. But they did a nice shot winning that battle on the glass forty one to thirty. They only lose a turner battle by one against a VCU team has been very good at generating turnover, so BYU they do find a way to be able to get it done, just barely overwhelming in Arkansas versus Kansas. But Kansas they go out around number one Arkansas seventy nine to seventy two winners over Kansas. For Kansas they do go eight of seventeen from three points. But for this Kansas punch, they had themselves a really nice scoring first half. They were down by just three at a half, and then Arkansas they opened up a nice lead to begin the second half. They get up eight points and from there they would not RELINQ with sh it got very tight late and Zeke Mao did all you could for Kansas. But for Kansas just twenty eight points in the second half and for Arkansas Jonas eight two. Oh yes, you do give the team twenty two points in this one. Boogie Flang in his return not a ton off the bench from a scoring standpoint, but the three steals were very big in for Arkansas. That's what won it for them. They won the turner battle sixteen to ten, even though for this Kansas Punch they were able to win the rebound battle thirty eight to thirty fourth hundred. Dickinson supplying the team with eleven points, nine rebounds, but also four turnovers in this game. So Bill selfiez bounced from the NCAA tournament in the first round. Gonzaga not so much. Gonzaga, I believe, is looking for their ninth straight Sweet sixteen eighty nine to sixty eight. They completely pulverized Georgia. For Georgia, they allowed Gonzaga to go twelve with twenty from three. Well, they themselves went five to twenty six from the outside. Georgia loses a turner battle thirteen to twelve. They lose a rebound battle thirty eight to thirty one as k Leaf Battle was able to take over this game. Twenty four points, eight rebounds for Gonzaga and then Creighton all over Louisville eighty nine to seventy five to start out the game as it's technical fellow picked up by Liulville early on in this one. I know that there was a water bottle thrown out there on the court after Pat Kelsey picked that up. But for Crane, they were just a better shooting team in this one. Eleven to twenty four from three points for Louisville. They actually attempt fourteen more field goal attempts in Crayton, albeit they also attempted thirteen fewer free throw attempts. But for Louisville they win the turner battle ten to six. They don't do a bad job on the glass. They lost that battle thirty seven to thirty two. But Steve Ashworth and Jamaiah Neil take over this game. For Neil twenty nine points, twelve boards, six assists, and then for ashboth twenty two points, five boards, five assists out of him. And then you also have seen this is a game as about to go final Texas A and M. They do get the win. They do get the cover over Yale as I'm recording this at seventy seven to sixty six in the final minute, so that one should be good for Texas A and M. Despite the fact that Texas A and M went just six to twenty five from three points, they do find a way to be able to get the job done because at farwell paynoff the bench give you a double double twenty three points, ten rebounds. For Yale, they did go a little bit rough with reguards their offense in this one, losing that turnover battle twelve to ten. They obviously lose a rebound battle that was very much to be expected. Didn't do the world's worst job I'm glass to start out the game, but it just needed a little bit more out of Badz m Bag. Just two points in this game from him, so that was very Bertle. As I am recording this right now, we are trying to see if Drake is going to be able to pull it off against Missouri. They were leading forty seven to thirty four in the middle part of the second half and for Bennett's shirt, he's just absolutely taking over this game for Drake and Drake team has started four of eight from three points currently losing the rebound battle, but they're doing a great job in terms of being able to generate thirteen turnovers in the first thirty minutes on Missouri. They have very much gotten their game and Missouri has been just put into a tissy in general in that one. And then we have a little bit of clean up with the guards of the late night games. But if you're taking a look at trend wise what we're getting in college basketball right now over the last seventy so this is a bad half of conference tournament play. Along with the nca Tournament thinks I've been very overwhelming for very meaningful games. Fifty one overs of forty eight hundreds. Typically you see the under stake hold, but that's a fifty one a half percent rate to the over. And meanwhile, the faiths they have been doing very well over the last seven ayes fifty four, forty six and two against the spread. This is with the late night Thursday games still pending in the NCAA Tournament, and overall for the season, it has been an overwhelming season, with fifty points six percent of games going over two thousand and eight and thirty overs to two thousand seven and fifty nine unders. Meanwhile, favors they'ing at just forty nine and a half or se percent underdogs two eight hundred and twenty two seven and forty eight and ninety seven against the spread. So that's what we're seeing right now in college basketball, and that's what we all got night number one of the NCAA Tournament. Now coming up next to let's talk with our good friend Curtis Rodgers. He's based out there in the lobe city of Seattle. Talk about that, Regil, talk about what we've seen in the NCAA Tournament thus far and what's the come on Friday?

Always happy to join you and always happy to join you. In the midst of the greatest four days in sports, the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, it's here not too crazy of a start outside of McNeese beating Clemson twelve five upset, which is, you know, pretty usual for the NCAA tournament. But so far, so good. My bracket's still intact, so I know that's most important for everybody is how their bracket is doing. But yeah, I cannot complain to the start of the NCAA Tournament that we've seen so far.

But yeah, I cannot complain to the start of the NCAA Tournament that we've seen so far.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. I believe that I've yet to lose any sort of a Sweet sixteen team as of yet. I lost a few teams for making into the round to thirty two, but that's just going to happen time and time again. So right now, we're still in relatively good standing out there, and we shall see what is going to be happening moving forward. I actually did lose Clemson, so one Sweet sixteen team is out, but you know what, I do like to see that. But how about if we talk about the team in your area in Gonzaga and what we saw out of them on Thursday. They get the done a very convincing fashion against Georgia, and it is a Gonzaga team that if you look at the raw metrics, they will point to them being better than the record would indicate. How much of a chance do you give them against Houston coming up on Saturday, because I think that that could be potentially the most intriguing of the one versus eight slash nine matchups.

How much of a chance do you give them against Houston coming up on Saturday, because I think that that could be potentially the most intriguing of the one versus eight slash nine matchups.

Absolutely, I think that is going to be a rock fight between those two teams. I think Gonzaga, as we know it, has one of the most talented rosters in the country. The problem is is they have been so hit and miss this season, so hot and cold, that you know, there was a question I think at one point as to whether or not they were going to make the NCAA tournament, especially considering the start that they got off to in the WCC but here they are. They just won that tournament, beating Saint Mary's in the championship game, so a really good test before they started the tournament and then passing the first test against Georgia with flank Keller's getting After that twenty seven to three start, they looked phenomenal in that round one matchup against Uga. This Houston team is no joke. They are veteran Leyden. They've got one of the best head coaches in the country in Calvin Sampson, and this Houston team has faced some of the best teams in the country. They rolled through the Big Twelve, their losses have come to some of the best teams in the country. So I look at this one versus eight matchup on Saturday, it is going to be just an incredible, incredible game Houston right now being given five and a half. I think it'll be a little tighter than that. I think Gonzaga is going to put up a very good fight against his Houston ball club. I don't see anybody either side running away with that one.

Absolutely, I think that is going to be a rock fight between those two teams. I think Gonzaga, as we know it, has one of the most talented rosters in the country. The problem is is they have been so hit and miss this season, so hot and cold, that you know, there was a question I think at one point as to whether or not they were going to make the NCAA tournament, especially considering the start that they got off to in the WCC but here they are. They just won that tournament, beating Saint Mary's in the championship game, so a really good test before they started the tournament and then passing the first test against Georgia with flank Keller's getting After that twenty seven to three start, they looked phenomenal in that round one matchup against Uga. This Houston team is no joke. They are veteran Leyden. They've got one of the best head coaches in the country in Calvin Sampson, and this Houston team has faced some of the best teams in the country. They rolled through the Big Twelve, their losses have come to some of the best teams in the country. So I look at this one versus eight matchup on Saturday, it is going to be just an incredible, incredible game Houston right now being given five and a half. I think it'll be a little tighter than that. I think Gonzaga is going to put up a very good fight against his Houston ball club. I don't see anybody either side running away with that one.

Yep. I think that that is going to be a very tight game, and I think that that is going to be a fun one to be able to decipher, to say the least, as Curtis Rodgers, who does such great workover at seven ten Seattle Sports, going to be right here on seep say, I do think that we've got ourselves just a lot of intrigue in general with the guards of a Friday card in College. Vass Vozzi mentioned, we have yet to see any sunning upsets. Now we are doing this right round about seven thirty pm Eastern time, so there might have been a late night cutner from Thursday. But how do you take a look at things and how they're shaping up for Friday? Because I do take a look at things, and I don't think that we're going to get that like signature fairly tickets and upset or anything like that. But I do think that the twelve seeds are going to be very feisty. With Colorado State Liberty taking the floor on Friday. I think that both of those seeds could be able to pull off upsets, which in the case of corad State would not be a point spread upset. They're actually the favorite in this game. But I think that those games are very intriguing. In additionally, I do think that that Xavier matchup and really both of the playing teams Xavier and North Carolina. I think they've got a good chance to be able to win games as a double digit seeds as well.

I absolutely agree, And plus they get the benefit of already having played an elimination game. They know what it's like going into that environment. Heading into the round one matchup North Carolina will Miss. I loved what I saw in North Carolina and they're blowout when over San Diego State, it was kind of like, well, this was the North Carolina we were promised all along. This was the UNC that we all knew was capable of being there. The problem is is that they just could not get out of their own way this season. And yes, the constant is do they even belong in.

The NCAA Tournament.

The NCAA Tournament.

I think they do, especially after you know, blowing out San Diego State the way they did back on Tuesday night. But obviously Old Miss is gonna be a stiffer test. But I still think this North Carolina team, with the talent they have, I think they have a really good shot at pulling off that upset. And Xavier in Illinois. Illinois kind of limped their way into the tournament, especially in the middle per in the middle portion of the season, they did not look like a great team. Meanwhile, Xavier got off to a really slow start this season and have played much better as the season has gone along. So I like both eleven seeds. Another matchup that I'm looking at as a potential upset. I mean, you said it, there aren't really a ton that jump out to you heading into Friday's action. I like New Mexico over Marquette. I think Richard Patino has done a really, really phenomenal job with the Lowbos this season, and other Mountain West hasn't really performed all that well in the NCAA tournament outside of you know, San Diego State to run to the final four a couple of years ago, and you know, getting after the horrible start in the first four with those same Aztec team this year. But I like New Mexico over Marquette in that one. But outside of that great yet, like you said, just not a lot of potential upsots jumping out to me, grabbing me by the collar. I think, unfortunately, could go pretty chop if things go to plan.

And I'm so glad that you mentioned that marquev versus New Mexico game as well, because I'm also in on New Mexico. As a matter of fact, I actually have New Mexico being able to make your run to be able to win a few games in the NCAA Tournament. I do have them being able to go to the Sweet sixteen, so I do think that they're going to be able to make a little bit of noise there, as we do have Curtis Rodgers the subten Seattle Sports jow to me right here on Costco Soups, and I think that we've got ourselves a lot of intrigue in terms of so many of these other teams as well, because you mentioned it. It has been a very rough showing for the Mountain West over the last few seasons, but I felt a little bit more bullish about them going into this year's NCAA Tournament. We have yet to see how this matchup is going to go, but I felt like Utah State had the propensity to be able to win a game, be able to knock coffee cla. Colorado State is another team as jumping out to me against a banged up Memphis team, and I think that this year could be the year that the Mountain West finally changes that narrative or on them it gets a few wins in the tournament.

I sure hope so. And I think that Colorado State Memphis game could very easily go the RAMS Way, especially because Colorado State has the much easier travel load heading into that one. They only have to make, you know, about a two hour flight from Denver to Seattle, whereas Memphis is going cross country. Basically that's about a four or four and a half hour flight from Memphis to Seattle, so it's not an easy load for them. They're playing Colorado State, a really well coached team. Nico Medved always as his guys well prepared, So I think that is one that could very very easily go to the Mountain West Way in round one for sure. Like you said, Utah State, they're always a very competitive team. They've been great this season, have not skipped a beat. UCLA team they're playing later Thursday. Has been just so hard to pin down this season. They've looked really good at times, but then other times McK cronin looks like he wants to be anywhere else besides coaching them on their sideline. So I think there are definite opportunities for the Mountain and West to take advantage of, and I would actually be kind of surprised if things don't bounce their way in in either one of those games.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. I do think that the Mountain West has a good chance of finally a tone for what has been a rough last few seasons, to say the least, in the NCAA Tournament, and gonna be very intriguing to see what we get out of those seams. And right now, I take a look at things, Curtis and I you were mentioning this a little bit earlier, the fact that you think that it's unfortunately going to be a little bit more of a talk day on fridaying the NCAA Tournament, and I just simply don't disagree with you. And I'm not sure how you filled out your bracket, but I am someone that I absolutely hate the people I take the four to one seeds in the NCAA Tournament to make the final four. I absolutely hate the chalk. This year I was that guy. I took all four one seeds to be able to make the final four. I'm not sure how you filled out your bracket, but it does feel like a little bit more of a top heavy season in college basketball. Well, I do think that there could be some like double digit seeds that make this set sixteen. I've got a few twelve seeds being I'll make a little bit of a run. I just think that those top four teams in all of college basketball are clearly head and shoulders above the rest.

They looked so good this season. Florida playing their best ball right now. Duke is the one question mark I have right now, Greg, because we don't know the health of Cooper Flag. As he goes, they go without him, they're going to be a much different team. Obviously, Mount Saint Mary's will not give them a stiff test in round one. I can't imagine Cooper Flag plays more than maybe twenty minutes in that one. I think they're just going to kind of give him the start and then depending on how that game kind of goes, if it's to blow out early, probably don't need to play Cooper Flag the rest of the way. And that one. Get him rested, get him Saturday off, come back Sunday look a lot better there. In my final four, I had Auburn, I had Florida, I had Alabama, and I had Houston. So I did not take Duke in the final four. That was the one to one seed I did not leave in my bracket to make it all the way to the final four. But you can definitely make a case for them, especially if Cooper Flag is healthy. Obviously that is going to be a huge key for them. But it kind of felt this season and you know, I would love to be proven otherwise because that would make for a very, very exciting NCAA tournament that there's chaos everywhere, but ultimately the NCAA probably wants, you know, these number one seeds to make it as far as they can. I heard a good point, mate. I forget who it was, but they're talking about in the success of the women's side of the tournament over the last few years, because you've had superstars like Hitlin Clark and Angel Reese and make it all the way to the final four and being able to build up those storylines. And I think the NCAA would bend over backwards if they could put Cooper Flag in a final four. Oh my gosh, they would kill to have that. You know, they didn't get that opportunity with like Zion Williamson. I don't think they got that opportunity with Jason Tatum a duke either, so you know, to have a superstar like this to potentially play for a national championship, I think, you know, the NCAA would just absolutely love to have that storyline.

Oh absolutely, I'm right there with you. I do think that the NCAA very much rooting for them at the same lease, and I do think that there's a good possibility that we do get a lot of top lay teams that make it to the final four. And I do think that there is a propensity though for some of these teams that are outside the one seeds to be able to cause a little bit of chaos. And one game that really stands out to me for Friday. Yeah, I know that you love the WCC. I love the WCC, and the Saint Mary's versus Vanderbilt game I think is so interesting because I think that this could be really the biggest test for Saint Mary's if they are to make a run in the NCAA tournament. I think that this is tight. I've got Saint Mary's winning, but not necessarily covering that four to four and a half point number. How do you take a look at this Vanderbilt versus Saint Mary's game, because I think that whoever wins this game has the ability to be able to go on run with the way that Duke's region really did shake out and the bottom of that bracket being in my opinion, not very strong.

Yeah, and it's going to be an interesting matchup two because Manerbil comes from the SEC, maybe the best conference we've ever seen in terms of number of bids and just the overall quality of play during the regular season. I think Saint Mary's considering the you know, strength of schedule in the WCC outside of Gonzaga obviously, and you know San Francisco is a good team this year. You know, Oregon State had its moments, you had, you know, a few other teams kind of pop up here and there, Santa Clara, but it's obviously not the SEC. So Vanderbilt comes in I think as the much more battle tested team. Also, again, the travel you know, Nashville is a lot closer to Cleveland than you know, Moraga, California is, so you're gonna have a bit of a travel advantage if you're the Commodores heading into that one. I'm right there with you, Greg. I think that four to four and a half line is gonna be in Vanderbilt's favor because that one's gonna be very tightly contested one for sure, I think I have Sat Mary's winning that one, but could definitely be talked into seeing Vanderbilt advance.

Yep, I'm right there with you. I do have see Mary's being able to advance, but I think that they only win a two to three point game. That spread is right now four and a half. I was willing to take the points with Vanderbilt personally, so you think that that's a nip and tuck spot and whoever will win that game most likely get to Alabama. If Robert Morris pulls the two over fifteen center, that would be certainly something something. And if there is a team fourteen seat or lower that I could see pulling it up set, it is Robert Morris. Because even though Alabama made the Final four, I don't know how you feel about this. They're just style of play I think lends itself to a lot of shall we say, upset potential, and that's a big reason why I did advanced Saint Mary's very far my bracket because I thought that they would get Alabama, and I think that the last thing Alabama wants to seize a team like Saint.

Mary's, right, And you know, I think a win over Alabama would definitely leap frog Robert Morris's NIT victory over Kentucky years ago when the game was played at Robert Morris. Where does see Kentucky have to play in such a small environment like that? But I could definitely see it. Another team that I'm kind of looking at Greg you know, fourteen seats or lower lipskim against Iowa State. Iowa State at one point they were red hot and rolling, and then all of a sudden, after Caleb b Love's taking a you know, sixty footer against them to send the game to overtime, they have kind of been sputtering. They've got nine losses. Now, they are not the five team that they were at one point earlier in the season. I think this is more about just kind of how cold Iowa State has been over the season's final month, rather than how good Lipscomb has been this year. That's kind of my one to watch for, my upset to watch for on Friday, even though I'm not feeling, you know, more than like twenty five percent confident in Lipscomb. That is one game though, where I'm kind of like I could see it. I can definitely see it.

Yeah, absolutely, And Curtis, I'm not sure I you specifically filled out your bracket with your ears of your title winner, but I did have Florida winning the whole thing. I feel like it's so big to be peaking at the right time. I do think that they're doing that. How did you end up filling out your final four national title game? And are you still willing to stick with it after what we saw from albeit a very brief Thursday but what we see now these Thursday games.

In general, I have Florida in my national championship game, but I have been losing to the Houston Cougers. I think Houston has just played such an under the radar kind of season where the Big twelve had the big headlines to start the year, and everybody kind of moved away from them when they saw how good the SEC was. Meanwhile, Houston just mowed through everybody. And not just that, but you know, they played very, very competitive games against the country's best teams. They played Auburn super tight. You know, their only loss in conference played was to a really good Texas Tech team, so it's not like they were losing to What school did Houston play a few years ago? It was a Lady of the Lake. I think, yes, we don't see them on Houston schedule anymore. That's not this year's Houston ball club great spot. I think they're going to be playing some really good ball here over the next month. So I have the Houston Cougars cutting down the nets, finally winning that elusive national championship that school has been chasing for during forty years now. They've had plenty of opportunities to win it, so I think they get it done here.

I think that is going to be so intriguing because I actually do have Houston versus Florida my title game as well, even in the state of Texas. Had Florida just edging out Houston, I think that that would be a very fun matchup, and for both of our sakes, we're hoping that we get that one. And Curtis, I know you're doing an amazing job taking a look at this wonderful game of college basketball. You've been with me every step of the way, taking a look at all the badness. Love to get people out them know it's all on that for you and how people can fall on on social media to the other platforms.

We will be on scene at the Seattle region. It's going to be a lot of fun. Four games getting played all throughout the day, so I will be there really excited to see all the action from start to finish, especially in that second session. Got Oregon and Liberty, got Arizona and Acron. It's going to be a lot a lot of fun. Looking forward to what's going on over at Climate Pledge Arenas on Friday, and Greg, I know you'll be tuned in. You've got you know, all seven screens in your house there, so really excited for the action that lies ahead. And there's still some left here on this Thursday nights late, So happy tournament to you. I know this is just your you know bliss right now, it's mine as well. We made it and always appreciate it. Happing on with you.

Do you note that, as per usual, any changes that are made the plays we'll be listed up on my Twitter slash ks feed at g Unit underscore eighty one and we're going to be going in Los agasertation or This is going to be a little bit strange here, but we're essentially going to be going by region with regards to these games. As the last games are going to be the West Region and then it's going to be the South region. That is number three. We lead things off with the games out there in the Eastern region. It's not necessarily in the World's Greatest Time Order as well, So I'm not sure what happened here, but you know what, We've got ourselves some good, clean, family fun and we are going to be starting with a one to sixteen matchup. This is seb seventy seven, seventy eight on the card. Duke is going to be playing against Mount Saint Mary's in the Mountain does find themselves as a thirty one a half to a thirty two and a half point underdog. The Dallas game is between one forty to one forty and a half. If we see Cooper flag at all in this game, I think that it's going to be very limited. I know that John Shire said that it was all systems go for every round of the NCAA tournament. If you're a Duke, why are you rolling the dice here on Cooper Flag against a Mount Saint Mary's team. That congratulations they won the MAC Tournament. Gratulations to them winning a game in the NCAA tournament. But this Duke team is more than good enough to be able to handle Mount Saint Mary's. That's big reasonhy I did on my line at a thirty and a half, not a spot where I'm jonesing to lay the number here with Duke, I think that they should be able to get the job done, especially with also dealing with the injury to Leak Brown. I don't think that they're gonna want to expend their guys too much more than if needed. If they get up like twenty five thirty points with five or so minutes remaining, I think that they're going to be clearing out the bench. Are still Duke team has been a top five team in the country in terms of both points scored and points allowed on a purposession basis, and if you get Flag great, he has been absolutely incredible leaning the team in every single offensive category possible. But still have guys like I see on James who's got versatility and shoots Arot with a forty percent for three. Isaiah Evans has been a nice sixth man, shooting forty four percent from the outside. Conkainepol has been able to give you fourteen a half points per game. Now. The one thing that Duke really doesn't do an amazing job of is generating turnovers. They're a pretty country average team with the guards to turnovers forth on a purposession basis, and that has been the issue for Mount Saint Mary's all season long. They do rank outside the top three five in terms of broll security. They turned the ball for fifteen times for contest, but you do have a tree of guys download that have been pretty brocks out of durell Ar Jedni Cordelia to let at Bio. All three of the guys at least six point nine rebounds for game. Dallas Hobbs has been able to find his footing, shooting thirty two percent for three, and Carmelo Pachaco him being out of the fold has really been hurting this team a little bit more shoots forty six percent for three that did not affect them at all dating a few days ago, so they were able to shoot it relatively well without him. But and that said, this is a guy that you have to figure is probably gonna be out once again. He missed the back half of the Metro Islank tournament. He missed that first four game. I would think that he'll probably be out of the fold in this game. So that did affect me just a little bit. With regards of total, I did some mine at a one thirty eight and a half. As a result, I do think that mont Saint Mary's are going to get dump druged here. I think that they're gonna lose this game convincingly. Both Xavier Lipscumb stepping up as a nice being facilitator for four and a half assists to fewer than two and a half turnovers per game. I think that this team does just enough to hold in there. Again, it is a little bit of a banged up duke team, and even if you got four I got, there are still don't to have Malik Brown injury as well. So I did set my line at a thirty and a half. At a thirty one plus, we'll take the points with mount and I'm in on the under set of my total at a one thirty eight and a half. As duke actually outside the top two fifty in terms of total possessions per game, some seventy nine to seventy eighty. On the card, You've got Baylor and they're going to be playing against Mississippi State, and Mississippi State currently finds themselves as a one half point favorite. It's all this game between one forty four to one forty four and a half, and I'm all delay with Mississippi State. I did set them as a two and a half point favor Both of these teams have been very rough in terms of a three point shooting defense, and Baylor is a team that shoots it a little bit better from three point range. But I also do think that Mississippi State is going to be able to control things down low. For Mississippi State right now, there are alliging teams in a roadside shoots core venue to shoot thirty five point three percent from three pintrange. Meanwhile Baylor thirty seven and a half percent from the outside. It has been less than tremendous there and Baylor has just been one of the bigger disappointments and all of Godge basketball. Jeremy roaches up in healthyl season long when he has been out there has been a relative shell of himself compared to what he was when he was over at Duke. Meanwhile, no Chad Omer, He's been rock solid. He's been able to give the team a double w is everying fifteen plus points, seven plus rebounds per game. But for Mississippi State, you've got a pair of guys download that I really like in Keshawn Murphy, a couple with also Camera Matthews. These two guys have been able to play you with fourteen plus rebounds per game. Murphy's throwing their twelve points per contest. Josh Ball Hubbard has been the main go to score. He's right now given you nineteen points per game. Shoots in the mid thirties from three, which is actually good for this team. They only shoot about thirty one five percent from three points. But this has been a team that has been very dominant on the offensive glass in terms of being able to generate for themselves a second and third chance in terms of percent of midshofts that to become an offensive rebound. They have been a top forty five team in all of college basketball. Meanwhile, VJ at Edgecombe main set, she's suffered here for Baylor North of five boards, thirteen points, a block, and half a steal and apple contest. He has been doing it all for them, and Baylor very good in their own right in terms of being able to get second and third chance is thirty second in all of Godge basketball in terms of percent of the mid shots the two results in an offensive rebound for Mississippi State over all their fifty seventh, but away from them, they've actually been better on the offensive glass than they have been when they've been at home. But I do think that that overall size is gonna be able to take it out of this team, even though Jayden Nunn has been cheating North for forty percent from three points for Baylor. I do think that the overall physicality of Mississippi State wins out, especially with Matthews being up to generate two and a half seals per contest, and that's been a big thing for Mississippi State. They have become a top seventy team in terms of turnovers four so on a purposess basis, I do think that they're going to do a solid job here to a tome for their shall we say, lack of three point shooting defense. I do think that that gets a job done? Here did seb my total at a one forty two and a half. You've got a Mississippi c team that has been looking to push up all a little bit more, but again not shooting him out from three. And this has been a Baylor squad that has really been slowing it down as far as the season, well outside the top two twenty five in terms of total possessions. Breame. So I'm gonna be willing to take on the under and I'm gonna be willing to lay up to two here. With Mississippi State seventy one seventy eighty two on the board, you've got yourself another one sixty matchup. This is now Folks State and they're gonna be facing off against Florida and Florida's shock jock surprise price. They find themselves as a Mondo size favorite of twenty eight to twenty eight a half points. Tal's game, I'm going to be getting it out of a one fifty three and a half to a one to fifty four and this so Florida is a twenty six a half point favorite. I think the Norfolk State does just enough to hold in there. I'm going to be well, take a shot on the points. With this Norfolks eight group, it's been one that has been very good at being able to pop it from three points. They don't take a ton of threes in terms of percent of their shots that come from three pints. Are actually a bottom fifteen team in all of college basketball. But you've got two guys and Brian Moore Junior and Christienings the absolutely lighted up as is shooting forty seven point nine percent for three twelve points per contest, three assists per game, but it takes about two point two threes per contest. Brian Moore Junior has been able to give you more with forty percent three point shooting. He supplies the team with a little bit over eighteen points per contest, but again it takes about two threes per game. It's been a Norfolks eight team has been pretty country average with regards to a lot of their defensive metrics. They've been solid on the inside, a top seventy team in terms of the opponents two point shooting percent, but they are allowing upon its is shooting at a thirty four percent from three points, where they've actually been able to do a pretty rock solid job is been being able to just lock down a little bit more on the glass, top one fifty five team with regards to rebound percent well being a top one iner team in terms of generating turnovers. So I do think that that's going to cause a little bit of straight for Florida. A Florida group that has been just transformed by the fact that Alex Condon has come back from injury and has been absolutely amazing for the team. There was fear that he might be lost for the season when he went down against Mississippi State, but ever since Easier returned, he has looked like one of the more versatile players in all of college basketball, shooting thirty three percent for three at six foot eight plus eleven points eight rebounds per game, and they've all Walter quaint newsable bomb it from anywhere on the court, shoots thirty eight percent for three, four assists, steal and a f fifteen a half rebounds per game. This Florida team just controls so much. Top twenty team at both points scored end points allowed on a per possession basis, one of the best rebound rate teams on the offensive and defensive glass they're going to find an all of college basketball. They do allow upoint us to shoot less than thirty percent from three points. That's a top fifteen mark in all of college basketball. As a matter of fact, their two point and three point shooting defenses are both top twenty marks in all of college basketball. I do think the state is going to be overwhelmed. They don't have a ton of side down low, with Jayla Myers being the lone guy that gives you North a five rebounds pream. But even with that, I do feel like the number has gone just a little bit too far out of wack, especially with this team in Florida playing a little bit more defense oriented. Ever since Mike a hand logged and Burnda's red shirt has been able to give the team about five and a half rebounds pream, that's been causing them to be a little bit more of a defense oriented team. So it is a circumstance where I did so Florida as a twenty six a half point favorite. I'm going to be one to take those points, and with regards to total, it's up mine out of one to fifty and a half for Florida. I do believe that if you're asking if they're a better offensive team or defensive team, I would say defensive. So looking at the under and the whole points here with Norfolk State seventy three seventy eighty four on the card, you've got Yukon playing against Oklahoma, and Oklahoma finds themselves as a pretty big tier underdog. Here, you're going to be getting them as a five and a half to a six point dogs. It's the last game. It is anywhere between one forty seven and a half to a one forty nine, and I'm gonna be a will to take a shot out on the under. I did sell by total at a one forty one a half. If you look at the overall season numbers for Yukon, the defense has been and tremendous away from home, They're lying teams to shoot well north of thirty seven percent from three parts. But those numbers were so badly warped by their games that they played away from home in the Maui Invitational, that they have been so much better ever since then that I just really can't put a lot of credence into it. If you take a look at the home in the roads place for Yukon, they've been some of the more shall we say, striking in all of college basketball. Again, this goes all the way back to November, and I just can't utilize that November data to be able to break down a March game at this point. This is a Yukon squad that overall for the season about one hundred and seventh in the country turns points allowed on a per possession basis, but they've been really slowing things down. They've been outside the top two at seventy with regards to total possessions brain. It is an Oklahoma team that has become about a top one hund or so team with regards to total possessions pray, and they have been legitimately ghastly with their guards. Their defense tour and seventh in the country in terms of points allowed on a per possession basis. But they do one thing well on defense. They do a really good job of being able to guard the three point arc. Meanwhile, they themselves have been a relatively solid three point shooting team. This Oklahoma State team right now from three parts shooting thirty seven percent as a collective, it travels thirty seven percent at home, thirty six point nine percent in a roadside shotch coret venue that has been a top forty mark in all of college basketball. Yukon obviously does a nice job with solo ball, give you fourteen plus points per contest, shooting north of forty two percent from three points, bombing it from three points. It is a Yukon team that overall has been shooting thirty seven point one percent from three points when they've been away from home, and is a Yukon group that in general is a top twenty five squad terms of points scored on a perposage basis. But I do think that Oklahoma is going to be able to do just enough to be able hold in there. Recognize that they don't have a ton down low, but that twenty nine point four percent opponents three point shooting percent away from home still does very much speak to me. You do have on the flip side of a Yukon team that is the only team in all of college basketball three separate guys Alex Caraban, Taurus Reed, Samson, Johnson that I'll give you at least a block and after contest as Sandriyarria only gives you between about sixty seven points per contest, but has been able to give you six assists per game as well. He's been very rock solid out there in the back court and big key for Oklahoma not getting completely gashed inside right now terms upon two point twenty percentage or outside the top three ten in all of college basketball. But you do have a guy in Jeremiah Fears who's able to give you four boards for US, says seventeen points per game. The three and a half turnovers have been rough, but Yukon has been outside the top three and with regards of turnovers force on a purposession basis, I do think that this is going to be a more slow, more control game. I think the Yukon gets it at their pace, but took Files Pricing Gudain both combined to shoot about thirty forty three point seven percent from three points, with between the two of them about seventeen a half points per contest. I think it's going to be just enough for this Oklahoma team to be able to hold on. Here did sew my line at a five and a half, so here at the six plus, I'm going to be won't think those points. And in terms of total I set mine at a one forty one a half I'm going to be in on this total under seventy eighty five, seventy eighty six on the card. We've got Marquette playing against New Mexico. This is from a rocket arena and that is out there in the lovely Midwest and Cleveland, and Marquette is right now three and a half to a four point favorite. Then this game is between one fifty two and a half to a one fifty three. And I took to Mexico on the money line. I know that the Mountain West has a lot many people much like myself down in past years in the NCAA tournament up on his Markette team is just very rough on the glass the outside, the top two twenty five in terms of rebound percent. Meanwhile, you've got Nellie Junior Joseph on the flip side for New Mexico. He has number three in all of college basketball figures his rebounds fourteen plus points, right around about eleven and a half boards, a block and a half per game. I think that that's going to be too much for Marquette to overcome. Markett has been one of the best teams in all of college basketball generating turnovers, a top twenty five team in terms of turnovers. Four sound a purposession basis, but New Mexico is a top forty team in terms of generating turnovers. They've been great on that front without of intent headlining things nineteen plus points, six plus assists per contest, shoots in the mid thirties from three true, Washington is able to generate two turnovers per game. He's been able to give the team double figures as well. With souf Amzil at six foot ten, he's been able to give you some relatively good versatility as well. And then on the flip side, you've got a Markette team that you do have Cam Jones, who's been amazing give you nineteen to twenty points per contest, but this Markett team really doesn't shoot it well from three point. I'm not saying that New Mexico is necessarily he's seeking missile with their three point shooting. They shoot about thirty four point three percent in a road or neutral revenue, but this has been a market team. Then all season long, they have shot about thirty two and a half percent from three points to cents to thirty two point nine percent when they are away from home. You've had the likes of ACV Mitchell, who gives you multiple seals per game, being able to shoot the mid thirties from three points to a long aspen gold. He's been able to give the team just below ten points per contest. So these guys have stepped up in a big way. And that said, I do think that in this case, New Mexico decides that they've got down load with Milly Junior Joseph allows them to be able to win from within seven. Mexico is at one a half point favorite. I do like them all right on the moundy line in terms of total I did some of my total at a one to forty seven. Athletes are two teams and have been very good defensively, including New Mexico being a top twenty team in terms of points allowed on a purposession basis. New Mexico is very fast aria top twenty team in terms of total possessions per game as well. But I do think that there's gonna be a lot of dead possessions in this game. So I'm in on the under and I'm in on New Mexico on the money line seventy eighty seven to seventy eight to eight on the card. You've got Briant playing against Michigan State out there at Rocket Arena, and right now with the Michigan State the area sixteen and a half to have seventeen and a half point favorite your totals game and it's one fifty two and a half. Won't take the points with Bryant. I did set them as an underdog of fourteen points. I know that in the step up games against the likes of Grand Canyon Saint John's was a little bit less in tremendous for Briant. But I do also believe that they are bringing sexy back. His earl Timberlake has been such a good satsch he'd suffer for the team. He's right now supplying them with fifteen half points, eight boards, four an emphasis. He's got six foot six siyes and has been able to shoot thirty six percent from three points. We'll give you a steal at one point eight blocks per contest. It's been a very complete team with Brian, a top one ten team with guards of percentage of the midshots. The results in an offensive rebound that's going to be big against the Michigan's State team has been a top ten unit all season long in terms of a rebound percentage. But that said, with his Bryant team, you've got out of your top six scorers, all but one of them pulling in their at least four and a half rebounds per game. Every single one of those guys stands at least six foot six as well, so you've got a really good overall size Brofaye open zone. He's been the loan of those top six scorers and is not pulling in their four and a half plus sports per contest. But at six foot six, eighteen and a half points two and emphasis shooting thirty eight and a half percent from three point shots, it's going to be a tough match up for a Michigan State team. Then just frankly, they haven't shot the ball well from three points. You're outside the top three twenty five in terms of their own three point shooting percent. Now, you have been able to get a lot out of Jace Richardson recently, he's been the main guy from the outside, shooting forty one point two percent from three throws in their twelve points per contest, pretty much the only guy out there than Jeremiah Fears on the roster shooting about thirty four percent for three but if hears only takes about a three per contest, good facilitator five and halfphsis so two turnover screen seven and a half points per contest. And Michigan State does a nice job doing little things well. They shoot seventy eight percent of the free line, they only turned the ball over eleven a half times per contest. But I do believe that that lack of three point shooting and the overall size along the perimeter of this Brian team going to keep them lively Michigan State. On top of that, they have been a really good three point shooting defense, Michigan State allowing teams they shoot twenty seven point nine percent from three point chots, a top three mark in all of college basketball. So you have nough. Briant plays fast. They're a top fifteen team in terms of total possessions wearing. I do think that the scoring is going to be just a little bit muted in this game. I did sell my total at a one p fifty as a result, so I'm going to be in on the under end those point With Brian seventy eighty nine seven ninety on the card, You've got Saint Mary's playing against Vanderbilt. This is out there in Cleveland, and Vanderbilt is a four and a half to a four point underknocked on all this game. This is between one thirty five and a half to a one to thirty six in I'm gonna people and to take the points with Vanderbilt. I actually have Saint Mary's making a nice run in my bracket all the way to the Elite eight. But that said, I do think that this is going to be a nip and talk game. I did set my line at a two and a half, so I'm willing to take those points. With the Vanderbilt squad that the biggest thing for them is doing a little bit of a better job. I'll be able to guard the three point line. They have an outside the top three twenty five terms of uponents three point shooting percentage away from home. Way from home, they are allowing to shoot around the thirty seven a half percent from the outside, and they themselves have been Shelley sa pedestrian in terms of their own three point shooting way from home. They shoot only about thirty two and a half percent from three, but they've done an amazing job on the turnover battle. A top forty team in terms of turnovers on a per possession basis on defense, a top forty team in terms of taking care of the ball. On offense, You've got a point guard at a j Hoguard who we all know that he was at Michigan State the last few seasons. He's got very good knowledge of the game with coming over from Tom Izzoin. Additionally, you've got Jason Edwards who's been able to do a very good job getting the same north of fifteen points per contest, and Vanderbilt sneaky on the glass. This has been a team that hasn't given out a lot of second and third chances. It is a unit that has been ranked in the top one thirty five with reguards to rebound percentage despite not having a lot of size. With Tevin McLaughlin stepping up, give you about eight boards and a half points per contest, shoots in the mid thirties from three, but all of a sudden, we've seen Tyler Nickel be able to shoot forty percent from the outside as well. So this Vanderbilt team has been able to just find a way to be able to make things work all season long. For Saint Mary's, I do believe that their second and third chances is going to be able to get it done on the glasses. This same Mary seem there number two when all of college basketball in terms of percent of their mid shots that do result in an offensive rebound. Not honestly the world's greatest shooting team, but their sixth man and Mikey Lewis is coming off. The men shot thirty nine percent for three. It's given the team about eight a half points per contest. Really the longe guy in the roster that she's about thirty five percent for three, though Augustus Maris Alinez fourteen points, six assists has been very good at the point guard spot. But then you've got all those guys down the Mitchell Saxon alt of Paulias Marsucus combined for just under sixteen rebounds per game. You've got Saxon who is able to give you a little bit of a blackbird contest as well. And then initially Harry Wessels has some relatively good size, He's able to be a very nice defense oriented player. Luke Barrett has been able to give you seven rebounds per game as well. I do think that in the end, Saint Mary's utilized his size to be able to get the job done. But I do think that Vanderbilt could be able to make things a little bit more hair brain. I do think that they're going to utilize that good guard play against a Saint Mary's seem that they're outside the top two fifty with their own three point shooting percentage to make things a little bit sloppy in this one. I do think that this game just close enough for late game felling, and that is a place where Saint Mary's let's have some strife as well, you know, shoot about sixty nine a half percent at the free lin. So I did see my line at a one thirty six a half with regards of Toto Vanderbilt looking to push the tep top on our team with the guards to total possessions perame like the over, and I do like the points here. With Vanderbilt seven nine one, seven ninety two on the card, you've got Alabama playing against Robert Morrison, Oh, Bobby Morris, a twenty two and a half point underdog, seeing a twenty out there as well. Total on scheme is between one sixty five and a half to a one sixty six a half. Alabama right now number one the country in terms of total possessions. Brame. They're looking to make things hair brain, They're looking to make things just absolutely insane, and I think that they're going to be able to do so. I just sent my total at a one to sixty seven a half. I'm going to be in on the over, but I've also been on the points with Robert Morris. This has been an Alabama team, by the way, that away from home number five in the country towards the points scored on a per possession basis. When you're number five in points per possession away from home and number one in possessions per game, that leads to just an explosion of offense. And to the credit of Alabama, they've been a top fifty team in terms of opponent three point shitting percentage. Here's the issue that you've got for Alabama. They can very much get bludgeoned on the inside. This has been an Alabama squad that has been allowing a few too many second and third chances all season long. In terms of percentage of mid shaws that to become an offensive rebound, they're outside the top point twenty five with that regard, and Robert Morris has been a top fifty team with regards to rebound percent with Alvero Fogeris, who's been able to do a really nice job. Six nine guy that comes in from Spain who's been supplying the team with earth Fate resound per game. At six point nine, he shooting forty percent from three points arts to twelve points per contest. And then for Robert Morris, you've got a very veteran point guard out there, and Campbells began his career in North Carolina and Tea was actually on that NCCATE roster last season, but he was paying up and did not play in the NCAA tournament. But fifteen points, five assists not a great three point shooter. That's why you've got DJ Turner up Smith and josh Im Joffo though these two guys have been able to shoot north of thirty eight percent from three points, combining for the two of them for about twenty and a half points per contest. Additionally, you've been able to have this seemed to a really good job on the interior with Amaran Dixon keeps teaming up with Fulgarias for a combined three points six blocks per contest as well. It is a Robert Morris team that has been able to do a nice job on the interior. You do have Grant Nelson along flip arm Marui on the flip side for Alabama, we have been able to combine for fourteen rebounds per game. But Alabama has seen a big giant departure with the Guardzer defense. Robert Morris has been rising up with their offense seemingly pie the game all season long. And I do think that Robert Morris does just enough to be a hold in there. I do think that Indiana Alabama is going to be able to wear they're down, but not to the point of twenty plus. I did sell by line at seventeen and a half. We'll take the points with Robert Morrison. And on the over sep I told one sixty seven a half, seven eighty three, seven ninety four. On the card, you've got North Carolina. They're going to be playing against ole Miss. With ole Miss there an underdog of two points tons game. It is one fifty five and a half to a one fifty six, and I'm going to be one away of North Carolina did set them as a three point favorite, and for North Carolina, it was critical of them making it in the NCAA Tournament. But now that they're here, I do believe that this is a bunch that is going to be able to continue to make a nice run in this tournament. The main X factor for them what we've been seeing out of Van Allen Lubin recently. As this has been a bunch has been very rough with regards to their play on the glass. But Ben Allen Lubin has been able to step up in such a big way with averages of thirteen point eight points at eight point one rebounds per game in the team's last ten games, and the team has went seven and two in their last nine games. He has been a big reason why double double in four at the last five games. So I have absolutely loved what I've seen out of them, and that's really been the issue for North Carolina season long has been that just overall play on the glass. Ole Miss is worse on the glass. They're three and twenty second in all of college basketball with the guards to rebound percentage leaked. He is a lone guy in the roster that gives you nor of five rebounds per game. Now Ole Miss won the best teams in all of college basketball generating turnovers are a top thirty team terms of turnover sports. On a purposess basis, North Carolina has a good point guard and Elliott could do that really doesn't turn it over a lot? Six is this per game. I disagree with North Carolina being in the tournament, but now that they're here, I believe that they're the best team. And now Sean Padula has been rock solid with Old Miss three and a half boards, three and a half assist, fifteen points per contest. You shoot thirty nine percent from three, and then Jalen Murray he's be able to shoot thirty seven a half percent from the outside. So Ole Miss all of the sudden night, relatively solid three point shooting team, and they do a really good job of being able to take care of the ball. They're only turned the ball over eight point nine times or contest. That is a top five mark in all of college basketball. So I do think that on both sides there's going to be a lot of clean possessions. Ole Miss always takes care of the ball. In North Carolina, not generating a live turnovers, but North Carolina is really good at being able to take care of the ball.
