00:00A lot to get to here DRS that does feature a top 25 tilt in

00:07the Bahamar Classic between Baylor and St. John's. You look

00:13at the spread for tonight's basketball game. The Johnnies

00:16and the Bears dueling tonight. Two and a half points spread in

00:20favor of Baylor. 152 and a half is that total. Baylor has

00:26already played a power conference program in Gonzaga

00:30or at least a team that is ranked Gonzaga number three. It

00:33did not go well on the opening night of the college basketball

00:37season up in Spokane. How will they handle this test against

00:41St. John's? Yeah, these are always tough games to try to

00:44gauge because certainly you see that 152 and a half in college

00:47basketball. That's a good amount of points just being

00:49simple to yourself here and adding it up 80 to 70 puts you

00:51in that range, but also has been pointed out this game is

00:54not being played on the mainland. It's being played in

00:56the Bahamas and I understand the thought process behind

00:59basketball teams. It's supposed to be a business trip. Your

01:02coach is going to preach that, but is it really a business

01:04trip where you're going to the Bahamas where you know you want

01:06to sneak a little sun and fun out there hit the ocean and

01:09also playing in a gym slash convention center that you're

01:12not used to. So for me, those early indicators, I look at

01:15that 152 and a half and regardless of how good both of

01:17these teams can be on offense, Ben, that's where my eyes go

01:20immediately here until now. Hear me out on this one because

01:23I don't know how this is playing out. Is this a

01:25tournament where you're going to play like two games there,

01:28maybe three games there? Is this just a simple one off

01:30between Baylor and Saint John's?
