00:00But who do you like tonight?

00:02I'm going to start with Florida State minus three and a half versus Syracuse.

00:05Simply put, this is a bad match.

00:06If you look at where Syracuse struggles, it tends to be inside.

00:09And Florida State has two absolute monsters down below.

00:13Give me Florida State minus three and a half.

00:15I am going to take Kansas State.

00:17I'm going to take a chance on them.

00:20Because...

00:20For no reason whatsoever.

00:22Because I think Arizona State's awful.

00:24And they give up too many points.

00:25And they got to find a way to win.

00:27Tangy Fresh finds a way to get it done.

00:30Also, let's look at Gonzaga minus three and a half versus St. Mary's.

00:33We were like, wait coach.

00:35St. Mary's won both matchups.

00:37I'm a true believer as a coach.

00:40When two teams that are evenly matched, I don't like taking the team to win all three.

00:46I think Gonzaga gets the revenge.

00:49Give me the Zags minus three and a half tonight.

00:51All right.

00:52So let's go to tomorrow.

00:54It's all day long.

00:55Starting at 1130 with Richmond and Davidson.

00:58You got Virginia, Georgia Tech.

01:001230, Cincy and Iowa State.

01:02I like, you know, Iowa State and Cincinnati look really good today.

01:05And I'll bet they're going to get a bunch of points in that game against Iowa State.

01:09I'd be careful with teams that play the day before they go out and play.

01:12Look at Delaware.

01:14Four straight wins.

01:15Now they're playing Wilmington tonight.

01:16Do you give Cincy any shot with the points against Iowa State?

01:20I know you think Iowa State's winning the Big 12.

01:23I'm going to take Iowa State because I think they're going to be healthy.

01:26Listen, it was a really good game obviously today by, you know, Cincinnati with a blowout win.

01:32I was not shocked they beat Oklahoma State.

01:33Oklahoma State is terrible.

01:35But I do like them.

01:37Other teams are like, it's a pattern here.

01:40Arkansas needs to win.

01:42If Arkansas don't win, they're not in.

01:45So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take Arkansas on the money line to get the job done.

01:49And then another team that they better win and they need to win.

01:53I would say get to the Big East Final to even have a chance.

01:57Give me Villanova.

01:58Mafia hates me.

01:59Pays me to say this.

02:01Give me Villanova minus 10 and a half versus Seton Hall.

02:04Seton Hall is just, it's been an abomination of a year.

02:07They don't have the horses.

02:09They don't have the NIL money.

02:11Kyle Neptune's on his last stand.

02:13And watch Villanova.

02:14Watch them make some kind of run.

02:16Give me the Cats minus 10 and a half.

02:18What about Rutgers and USC?

02:19Rutgers is getting one and a half.

02:23I'm going to go with Rutgers.

02:24Listen, they may be, everybody's talking about all these disappointing teams.

02:29Has there been a more disappointing team than Rutgers?

02:31I mean, that team was top 25, top 20.

02:33And they're awful.

02:35And they've got two guys, they're going top three in the draft.

02:38So, but I'm going to go with Rutgers to get the job done versus USC.

02:43Set up a matchup with Purdue, who last time beat them by about 35 points.

02:46I don't understand how Paykel keeps his job.

02:48You got two of the best players in the country.

02:50They're both going in the lottery in the NBA.

02:53And you couldn't win any games this year?

02:55Like, he'll never win then.

02:57I think the thing people have to realize is this.

02:59When you go in and you get these high-level recruits,

03:05you got to surround them with talent.

03:08Whether it's transfer talent or senior leadership.

03:13Like what John Trier has at Duke, right?

03:16With all these other guys.

03:17Getting Gillis, having Proctor come back.

03:19You know, they have other guys that are core guys.

03:23Rutgers got two high-level guys.

03:25And a guy trying to get a job on Wall Street at Martini.

03:28Good little player.

03:29But he ain't no player to play in the Big Ten.

03:31He's got to do a better job.

03:32He's got a good recruiting class next year for Paykel.

03:35He's just got to surround himself with better players besides the studs.
