00:00I want to ask you about Bobby Moe tonight.

00:02I know you live near there.

00:04Would you take the Bobby Moe or Youngstown State?

00:08Now the Penguins are tough.

00:09They covered last night.

00:10They won by a bucket.

00:12They're getting three and a half from Bobby Moe.

00:13Bobby Moe was laying three and a half last night.

00:16They didn't cover, but they rallied to win in overtime by three.

00:19Tonight, they play for the title and the horizon.

00:22Who do you like in that game?

00:24Well, I will say this.

00:25I would never, ever bet a conference championship game unless one team were dramatically superior

00:33to the other.

00:34Because you can't guess, you can't imagine how the pressure will impact one team or the

00:39other.

00:40There was a point in the Furman-Wofford game on Monday night where Furman was just starting

00:47to take command of the game.

00:48And then the pressure starts to take hold.

00:51And everything changes.

00:52Wofford could not solve Furman's 1-3-1 zone defense.

00:56They were like, what?

00:57This is a 1-3-1.

00:58Here, take the ball.

00:59I don't want it.

01:00That's how bad it was.

01:01And then all of a sudden, Furman took a couple bad shots and the game completely changed.

01:04So I wouldn't touch a low spread on something like this.

01:09What I think about Duke or somebody like that in certain circumstances, because they're

01:13way better, yes.

01:14But not here.

01:16But do I think that Robert Morris can win the game?

01:18I do.

01:19I didn't like the fact that they fell behind so big the night before against Oakland, a

01:25team that finished under .500 on the season.

01:28I didn't like the fact they did that.

01:30So I think they can win.

01:31They've played very well lately, but they're starting to get that pressure when you're

01:35the number one seed you're supposed to win, unless you're dramatically better than the

01:40opposition.

01:41And that's not the case here.

01:42It's a tough call.

01:44So is Wilmington obviously dramatically better than Delaware?

01:50Delaware was awful.

01:51Wilmington is no joke, but Delaware's on fire in these last four days.

01:56The Blue Hens of Delaware.

01:59Yeah, they are.

02:00They're on quite the roll.

02:01I don't I don't trust any team to be that good that many days in a row.

02:06I know NC State did it a year ago, but I think Wilmington should take care of business.

02:14That's a very good league.

02:15And for them to be represented by a team that would be sub .500 would be pretty remarkable.

02:20That's not the kind of conference you usually see that out of.

02:24Colonial generally produces very high quality basketball teams.

02:29And so it would be quite the surprise.

02:31I think that UNCW has been among the better teams in the league.

02:35Not the best, but one of the better teams in that league this year.

02:38And it would be a surprise.

02:39I would be honestly shocked if they weren't able to pull off tonight and probably by a

02:44fair margin.
