00:00It's USC UCLA now a Big Ten game. We will get to all of that as well as those conference tournaments OVC MVC

00:08NEC if you know what we're gonna summit

00:17There's a lot for us to get to but I do want to button up the Big 12 here

00:21We still got a few ranked games Joe including Iowa State in what looks to be another dropping number

00:28I'm seeing now maybe six and a half here across the board when we look at their spot going up against, Kansas State

00:34Iowa State on the road a favorite. Do you think they could be in some trouble though?

00:39I think they can and I don't like the way they're playing right now

00:42They've lost three of the last four by an average margin of defeat of six points per game

00:46Only a 500 road team five and five on the road this year and you're talking about a team in Kansas State

00:51Kev that is ten and five at home

00:53I know they haven't lived up to

00:55Expectations since they made that run a few years ago in terms of the the NCAA tournament

01:01But I like them at home today catching points

01:03I'm just not sold on Iowa State big-picture too inconsistent for me

01:07And when you can't win on the road and put teams away

01:10That's always a problem when you're laying more than four or four and a half

01:14Now you're laying six and a half on the road against the conference opponent

01:17I'm gonna take the points with the Wildcats. So I I

01:21Have a lean that way. I'm not sure

01:25I'm gonna ultimately get there

01:27So K State if they wanted any chance to crack into this bubble probably needs to win this game out, right?

01:33But Iowa State does need to stop the bleeding now a little bit

01:36You know, you look at the Cyclones and again, they lost to Houston while injured

01:41All right, you go to Oklahoma State though. You're supposed to bounce back. They lose that game out, right?

01:46I just had an a half-point favorite. All right, you get the job done against Arizona. It's like, all right cool now incomes BYU

01:52We're ready we'll get to the Cougars next they're playing great basketball. I

01:56Understand Iowa State battled all the way back. They're done 21 points at one point in that game at home

02:01So Iowa State to me, you know

02:03How do I talk about Kentucky, Missouri when we're talking about the top top top of the country if Iowa State?

02:09Is that this needs to be a good spot that they get the job done. We'll see if it is

02:16BYU Joe is a team for me and if you don't want to get into this game

02:19You can pick it up with Texas Tech Arizona State if you want

02:21but

02:23BYU is now right into the Florida Territory

02:27They scare me cowardice approach. I should be all over the Utah Utes. It should be used up baby. Move. Let's you know, let's

02:36Be why you

02:38Again, they broke me by scoring 52 in the second half against West Virginia

02:42I was counting the money already taking a team total under in that basketball game

02:46It was very impressive to follow it up with the win at Iowa State was

02:51Incredibly incredibly

02:54Impressive the Cougars are now looking like one of the very best offenses in the country

02:58I want to take Utah here, but I don't want to be sitting on the wrong side of the game that finishes

03:049173 yeah, you have a team that's won seven straight in BYU by twelve point seven points per game and a team in Utah

03:10That's lost three of the last four by more than seven points per game

03:14So you have a trend and the momentum clearly on BYU side. You have a rivalry game

03:19We know it's the Holy War in terms of college football

03:22But this is a different animal the fact that it's such a high number for a rivalry game

03:27I just don't have any confidence in Utah if Utah maybe was a playing a little bit better right now

03:33I would take the points, but I can't do it. I would lay it with BYU in this match reluctantly

03:39It's not one of my better plays, but I would lay it with the Cougars. I do like Texas Tech today

03:43I'll just say this

03:44Yeah in terms of that matchup Texas Tech has won two straight playing much better last time these teams played

03:50It was 111 106 in Lubbock

03:53It was a very high scoring game

03:55But you have a team in Arizona State that has lost now nine of the last ten games

03:59By an average margin of defeat of ten point six points per game

04:03They're just coming off a rivalry game right where they lose by 13 as an 18 and a half point home home

04:09Dog or road dog in that matchup. I like Texas Tech laying the big number today

04:15I think they smash Arizona State later tonight
