(upbeat music)
00:02
Let's go, I wanna get through every spread
00:06
and every total on all the games Thursday and Friday.
00:09
I wanna know where you are.
00:10
You already told me last night
00:11
and you'll let the C2C audience know as well
00:14
which games are sizzle plays for you
00:17
as we move across the board here.
00:19
You have cryptos and sizzle plays all over the place.
00:22
So it does start tomorrow afternoon.
00:24
These are the early afternoon games.
00:27
On Thursday, we have Michigan State and Mississippi State
00:31
minus one and a half right now for Sparty.
00:33
BYU minus nine and a half against Duquesne,
00:36
142 and a half the total.
00:37
Creighton minus 12 and a half against the Zips of Akron
00:41
and Arizona minus 20 and a half against Long Beach State.
00:46
What do we got, Joe?
00:47
- Hey, shout out to Colucci again.
00:49
That board looks fantastic.
00:51
Let me just say, it's so easy on the eyes.
00:53
I mean that too.
00:54
But let me just go, I do have a crypto in there, okay?
00:57
And it's a big dog, but we'll start.
00:59
I really like Michigan State.
01:01
We talked about how Virginia was priced out
01:04
in terms of the market yesterday,
01:06
15 to one to make the sweet 16.
01:09
I'm shocked that as a one and a half point favorite
01:11
against Miss State, you have Michigan State plus 290
01:14
to make it to the sweet 16.
01:16
I think both teams are similar.
01:19
Give me the veteran Tom Izzo.
01:21
I'm preaching at the church, Izzo.
01:24
Sparty wins this game.
01:26
Give me the under, I think it's blue collar.
01:29
I'm with you on BYU and I'm gonna take the points
01:32
with Long Beach State and the over.
01:34
But here's the crypto one that I absolutely love.
01:38
You wanna give me Akron plus the 12 and a half points
01:41
plus 640 on the money line.
01:43
I think they're a live call, right?
01:45
I know you picked Creighton to go to the final four
01:47
and maybe, just maybe they might win this game,
01:50
but I think they're gonna be pushed to the limit.
01:52
Akron could score and when you live and die
01:56
so much by the three like Creighton,
01:58
if they come out cold, they're gonna be on life support.
02:01
Give me the zips plus the 12 and a half
02:04
and maybe, just maybe they knock off Creighton
02:07
in round number one.
02:09
- I'll tell you this, Joe.
02:10
Even though I do have Creighton going to the final four,
02:13
I don't think that's gonna be easy tomorrow.
02:15
I think they win the game.
02:17
I would not lay 12 and a half with Creighton tomorrow.
02:19
I think that the zips will give them a hard time in that.
02:22
I like Mississippi State against Michigan State.
02:25
I think this is the worst team that Izzo
02:27
has ever brought to the tournament.
02:28
What was the term I said to you
02:30
about Mississippi State earlier in the week, Joe?
02:32
Little junkyard dog mentality.
02:35
Junkyard dog mentality from the Bulldogs.
02:38
I think that game is gonna be ugly.
02:39
Under 130 and a half for me.
02:41
First game of the day, 53-50 somewhere in that area
02:46
to start the tournament off.
02:48
And I like Long Beach State.
02:50
Plus the 20 and a half against Arizona, Joe.
02:54
Monson today, that's the guy that got fired
02:56
and he ended up winning the tournament.
02:57
Said today he's not answering any questions.
02:59
He doesn't want to 'cause he's working for free.
03:01
The guy's hilarious.
03:02
And the team likes to run.
03:03
Now, I think that could end up being a problem for them too
03:07
because that's probably gonna play in Arizona's hands.
03:09
But the over there as well, Joe,
03:11
which I believe right now is kicking up at,
03:14
let me get you up to the second,
03:16
162 and a half for Arizona and Long Beach State.
03:20
I think they will fly through that.
03:21
And of course, BYU's the best bet for me
03:24
minus the nine and a half against Duquesne.
