00:00for West Coast Conference semi-finals.

00:02We mentioned fourth game in four nights for Pepperdine.

00:06Of course, they used the ladder system in the WCC.

00:08They had a big upset last night.

00:10Now they'll try again against the one-seat St. Mary's.

00:1319 and a half for this one.

00:17And the other game's a big number, too.

00:18Gonzaga lay in 14 and a half against the Dons.

00:24Yeah, I think that Pepperdine's luck runs out tonight,

00:27to be honest with you.

00:30I mean, playing four nights in a row and playing this team,

00:33I mean, this team is going to the tournament

00:35whether they win this tournament or not.

00:38And they're getting in and they have whacked them twice.

00:42I think it's just gonna be more of the same thing

00:44for St. Mary's.

00:45And look, Gonzaga has, you know,

00:49San Francisco's number, right?

00:51Like, there's another team that just can't beat Gonzaga.

00:55So how do you play in a semifinal

00:59when the spreads are that big?

01:01I mean, it's gotta tell you something, right?

01:03It's not, this isn't suckers' play land.

01:06These teams flat out, St. Mary's and Gonzaga

01:09beat the crap out of these teams when they play them.

01:12That's just all there is to it.

01:14I'm not gonna be surprised at all if they both cover.

01:18I would not be surprised if they both cover either.

01:21Late night under the covers for those games in Vegas.

01:24Sunbelt Championship tonight.

01:27So Arkansas State and Troy both knocked off

01:31the top seeds in the Sunbelt last night.

01:33Now look, all these teams were pretty tight.

01:35It wasn't much of an upset.

01:36Troy beat James Madison.

01:38Arkansas State beat South Alabama,

01:40but now they will play for the title game.

01:42Arkansas State minus the two and a half.

01:45And then you also have tonight,

01:47Wofford getting involved in the SoCon final against Furman.

01:53Tight one here, minus one and a half for Furman.

01:57Well, I mean, these two teams split,

02:00Arkansas State and Troy, and both games were incredible.

02:02One of them was like a four-point game.

02:04The other one was a one-point game.

02:06So give me the two and a half with Troy

02:09living dangerously here.

02:12And I like the Paladins.

02:14I like Furman laying one and a half against Wofford

02:17over to Terriers.

02:18I like Furman.

02:20We've seen them go before too,

02:21and they've had a better year than Wofford.

02:23Wofford is lucky to win this game.

02:25Wofford didn't have a great season, Furman did.

02:28I'm gonna go with a team that played

02:30more consistent ball all season long.

02:33And I will not deny that Arkansas State is good.

02:35It's a dangerous bet to bet on Troy.

02:39It certainly is.

02:40I'm with you on Furman.

02:41I think they're gonna get involved tonight

02:42and take care of business.

02:43All right, these are the rest of the games for you.

02:46Of course, two games in the Southland this evening,

02:50Texas A&M Corpus Christi against Northwestern State,

02:53Incarnate Word against Nickel State,

02:56and then in the Big Sky late night,

02:59you have got Montana State and Idaho State,

03:01Idaho and Portland State.

03:05Well, listen, Incarnate Word's already surprised me,

03:09so I'm gonna take them with the three and a half

03:10against Nickels.

03:12I think they're about the same type of teams.

03:15The Big Sky, Montana State and Idaho State.

03:22I mean, again, I'm gonna go Idaho State here,

03:25lay the one and a half.

03:27And then I love Corpus Christi.

03:32I'll lay the three and a half with Corpus Christi

03:34against Northwestern State.

03:36And then the last game is that Idaho

03:40and Portland State game.

03:42And I like Portland State laying the four and a half

03:46to get it done.

03:47I thought the Vandals, they were a six seed

03:50and they won 13 games all year.

03:52And they're just not as good as Portland State.

03:55So I'm gonna go P-State there

03:57and hopefully they can cover that big piece.

03:59That's a big piece in a conference tournament game.

04:02To me in a game of that magnitude,

04:06laying four and a half's tough,

04:07but I'll see if they can win by five.

04:08It'll be dangerous.
