NCAAB Betting: Expert Picks and Odds

Speaker 1:

Well hello there and welcome back we are america’s favorite sportsbook BetUS. Another edition of the BetUS College Basketball Show for a Tuesday, great to be back, somewhat jet lagged. I think I’m back coherent from being back from Munich, Germany with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers victorious in their NFL game over the Seahawks. But we didn’t come here to talk NFL football. No, we’re here to talk some basketball. My handicappers are back. Corby Craig back for another day off a 2-0 night, thank you very much Chicago State says Corby. Thank you very much the under in Butler and Penn State. Good to have you back my friend. How you feeling for a Tuesday?

Corby Craig:

Yes sir. Ready to give some more nasty bets, so nothing fun here.

Speaker 1:

Nasty though in a good way, especially if they come home on this. Matty Cox, you’re back with us for the first time this week. How you feeling coming off of a longer weekend because you had Monday off for us as well, ready to go for a Tuesday?

Matty Cox:

Yeah, extra time to prep and get back to my, well to hopefully winning ways after a losing week to start off my BetUS debut, unfortunately.

Speaker 1:

Yes. We got to get back on track. So as we always say, it’s always about the future. It’s always about the next show, the next day and that’s what we’re about to do here. Yes, exactly. So we have a lot to cover and get to several reminders you’ve found us live, we’re here weekdays 11:00 AM Eastern Time Monday through Friday right here on BetUS’s College Basketball channel. Make sure you hit that like button down below us, hit the bell, subscribe, share it out, let people know where you are. Get in the live chat if you’re with us here at 11:00 AM if there’s a game that we’re not talking about or an angle that we’re not talking about, send those along. You’ll see comments down below while we’re talking about specific games, if people have comments or questions about those, but also a Q&A section will be coming at the end, so standby for that.

With that all being said, let’s take a look at our overall record as we begun to accumulate here in the first few days of the college basketball season. We see Corby Craig with the two wins last night, is now 7-4. Overall show record is 14-13. Was that a pledge from Matty Cox that he’s getting back to 500 starting today? It kind of sounded that way to me.

Matty Cox:

It’s a guarantee.

Speaker 1:

A few moments ago. It’s a guarantee? We’re going with guarantees now on a Tuesday. I see how that works. And guys with that, let’s get into it. We’ve got some very interesting top 25 games. You guys also have some games you’re handicapping that aren’t necessarily Power Six conferences, et cetera. Let’s begin. Let’s see what we have here and game number one for this evening involves Dartmouth out of the Ivy League and Quinnipiac, and this is Dartmouth coming in as a road doggy +7.5. The total is 145.5, the first official play belongs to Corby Craig. I don’t want to jinx you. Unbeaten weak to right now, 2-0, modest 2-0, what are we looking for, for this one officially?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, if this one goes down I’m going to hold you to that.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Corby Craig:

Yeah, I like Dartmouth’s team total under here. So it’s sits at 70. The idea basically is that Dartmouth is essentially a one man show. They have a guy shooting 40% of their shots currently and this is a team that really doesn’t have that much talent pool, I don’t believe. And they are being projected for a pace way too high. So they played Bryant who’s eighth in tempo. This obviously pushed their early season Tempo ratings a little bit and Quinnipiac is pushing tempo. They’re 84th in Ken Palm’s tempo ratings. Who did they play? They played Stonehill who’s ranked 346 and Central Connecticut 338, so cool. You push tempo versus those teams. I don’t think that they’re actually the 84th tempo team in the nation. I imagine them closer to like the 120, 130 range and I don’t think that Dartmouth has the ability to score how we’ve seen as of late. This kid is going to have to slow down at some point. So with this being projected 69, 70, I have this at 62 and like the under here.

Speaker 1:

All right, so an underplay from him. All right, I’m going to have fun with you. Let’s work on this. You’re a newbie. In Boston, you know BAHSTIN, Boston, they don’t pronounce the O. It’s just Dartmouth like the O doesn’t exist. I’m just here to help on the program. Go get the car in the yard and move it to the pack. All right, Matt Cox, any thoughts here on Dartmouth and Quinnipiac for tonight, if no official play?

Matty Cox:

Quinnipiac’s the more talented team. I think better coach team’s Dartmouth, but the talent is not members boys differential, but it’s a pretty seismic gap between the two. So early part of the season you have motivated favor. I tend to lean Quinnipiac with the points, laying the points.

Speaker 1:

All right. Fair enough. And I should add to it too, don’t get me started on how we pronounce everything else like that state that’s spelled MARYLAND is always pronounced Maryland, which makes no sense. I’m just putting these things out here on a Tuesday on the show. Nonetheless, game number one and the play from Corby Craig is going to be under 145.5 for this matchup tonight and also the Dartmouth team total, what, +75. Do we have that correct? Under 70 there on that, is that correct? Or is that incorrect?

Corby Craig:

Team total under 70.

Speaker 1:

Team total under 70 and did you also have an official play on under 145? Because I’m looking at something else. Did that switch? Or you want both?

Corby Craig:

We switched it this morning. We switched it this morning.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and let’s go over this again because it’s a live show, because I’m looking at the sheet from a little while ago. When that line movement happens, tell me what you’re looking at and what you’re contemplating when it moves. What were you comfortable with that you became uncomfortable with on the total of 145.5?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, so I still like under. It was more of an idea that I think that this goes under due to Dartmouth-

Speaker 1:

There you go.

Corby Craig:

Not scoring enough. So when it hit 70, it was 68.5 when it was 145, moved up to 147. So 70 was the number that I needed for the team total under. I think Quinnipiac is a pretty talented team and I agree with Matt. I think that they probably can score their side of the team total. So isolating Dartmouth to their team total, I like the 70 a lot.

Speaker 1:

Watch me play on some more words. You have no O in Dartmouth because you don’t believe in their offense. So he believes under team total 70 for Dartmouth out of the Ivy League for tonight. All right, let’s move on to game number two. This is one where both handicappers are going to be involved in this game. It is Pacific and North Dakota. Again, not exactly some of the powerhouse games that we may be talking about here in a few minutes. The line is six Pacific a road favorite at North Dakota lane six, the total 149.5. Matty Cox, let’s begin with you for an official play, what do you like?

Matty Cox:

Well I got to tip my cap to my colleague Corby here. He’s the one that put this under the microscope for me and I took a second look at it last night and I remembered when I saw Pacific dismantle North Dakota State just a few nights ago. North Dakota State by the way, is a much better team in North Dakota. So to see them go into North Dakota State do what they did, look like the better team, dominate from wire to wire. Now it’s a very short travel to go to NoDak, the Fighting Hawks, who have been a complete disarray defensively the last couple of seasons. They have some continuity back this year. I just think this line’s way too short, giving too much respect to home court, which I don’t think really exists here. So take the better team, the more talented team, the deeper team. This Tiger group’s motivated man. I think they’re a WCC that’s super competitive this year. They’re trying to prove some people wrong. So yeah, a lot sets up for the Tigers to cover the touchdown.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. Corby, you have a thought, an official play? And are you in agreement here on this game?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, I’m also in Pacific at six. It opened 3.5 and that that number was just absolutely ridiculous. It’s gotten hit up pretty nice. I think that you can make the argument for Pacific as much as you want, as Matt did. They’re all great points. The main thing for me is North Dakota is just not good, so a team that I do not know how to pronounce, Incarnate Ward, I believe. Brought North Dakota to an eight point game and they shot 3-20 from three. So this is a team that almost lost to the 357th ranked Incarnate Ward team. So I am just not buying North Dakota and I think that Pacific is plenty talented and they’ve shown it twice this year. They played Stanford to a really good game too. So I like Pacific here. I made it 7.5, so six is getting pretty close, but I think it is plenty fun.

Speaker 1:

Okay. So again, just in the early stages here, it is not all the time, but it will happen where both guys agree here. So there’s agreement among both handicappers, pay attention kids to Pacific and North Dakota. Let’s lock them both in because Corby and Matty Cox both say lay that six. You would’ve still been comfortable you said at 7.5. Matty Cox, if they’re not playing it right now, where do you get uncomfortable here? Do you get uncomfortable at eight, 8.5?

Matty Cox:

I think six is where I draw it. I made this number eight, so typically two points is the delta you’re looking for when you’re making a bet between +10, -10. That’s just how I do it. So for me, I’m a little more strict on this game. It’s already inflated a little bit, but I think six is still a good bet.

Speaker 1:

All right, fair enough on that. Let’s move on to game number three. Again, get your questions and answers ready here at the bottom. We’re going to have time for that in a few minutes. Game number three is part of this Champion’s Classic Series that they’ve been playing for years now. Sometimes at Madison Square Garden, sometimes in other places. In this case it’s in Indianapolis with Duke and Kansas, which on paper looks like a fantastic neutral court. Early season game always is it seems like Duke with John Scheyer now on the bench, Kansas with an interim coach situation because Bill Self still suspended for the first four games. Duke laying a point, the total is 144.5. Matty Cox, we’re back to you. What is the play on this matchup between two of the blue bloods of college basketball coming up here tonight?

Matty Cox:

I’m calling him Coach S. Mr. Coach Scheyer taking over for Coach K, I think it’s actually a coaching upgrade, just given what we’ve seen from Coach K the last few years schematically. I mean though with all due respect to one of the greats of our game, but what Coach Scheyer has shown this season with this young, but also very deep with sprinkles of veteran pieces. It’s really impressive man. They have just waves of body at [inaudible 00:10:03] they’re playing more connected as a group on offense. Mark Mitchell is really the X-factor. He’s not gotten the same hype as some of his fellow freshmen that have come through the door this season. He’s been a game changer. He’s basically like a Justice Winslow 2.0, for those who remember that name on the title Duke team. So look out for him to be a key difference maker tonight.

Again, I think the Bill Self factor not being there matters. Sometimes that stuff’s overplayed, but Self is a great X and O in game adjuster. I mean, look at what he did last year in the national title against UNC. His fingerprints were all over that comeback and the way Kansas attacked the second half. A lot sets up here for Duke tonight. I just think the market’s mispricing this game. So I’d lay Duke anything up to two, even three at a smaller bet, so take the Devils.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. Jeremy Roach, the guard has played well. Corby Craig thoughts here if no official play, this is the second game in Indianapolis. Kentucky and Michigan State will play first. This one around 9:30 Eastern Time from Indianapolis. Corby, any thoughts here on Duke? John Scheyer’s first taste of this kind of blue blood game playing Kansas on the neutral floor?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, so I think that Duke is, as weird as it sounds, being underrated early in the season. I believe they’ve covered both games so far pretty handedly. Also they were, I saw ACC, there was like a pole that gave North Carolina like 90 people chose North Carolina to win, only two Duke. So it’s weird to think, but I think Duke might be a little underrated here. I agree the Bill Self factor obviously is a really big one and much known, but I think the biggest thing here is Duke’s size. Duke is just going to be able to get the boards at a consistent rate and Scheyer’s shown defensive presence already, even though they’ve played really nobody. I do like him as a coach. Coach K kind of was falling off at the end of his career, so I would have to agree there and I would lean Duke as well.

Speaker 1:

You guys keep saying that. And look, I am a full disclosure to somebody that was always in Coach K’s camp for the stuff he did off the court, but you guys act like they weren’t in the final four last year. They didn’t fall off that much. They were in the final four last year with Paolo Banchero and Company. So it’s not like they went 10-17 and missed the NCAA tournament. But nonetheless, we’re talking about the present day, aren’t we? We’re talking about tonight, aren’t we? And we’re talking about Matty Cox says Duke Blue Devils and lay the point tonight against Kansas taking a second side, we’ll lock him in officially on Duke and that matchup against the Jayhawks. You do have the opening couple of wins there at home.

Again, get your questions ready. I see a lot of you in the live chat, I see the audience growing, get some questions ready if you have some different games, a team total aside, things like that from the handicappers. They’ll give you some opinions perhaps as we go along. One more game to go here officially. And that one is an interesting one coming up this evening between Dayton and UNLV. Dayton out of the A10 has been really good in recent years. UNLV obviously trying to get back to some stability and it’s interesting that Dayton is laying 4.5 in this one coming up tonight. Late night Pacific Time, 8:00 Pacific Time, start 11:00 Eastern Time, start the total 133 and Matty Cox, I’m going right back to you one more time because you’ve got the official play on this one. Thoughts on Dayton, UNLV tonight?

Matty Cox:

Yeah, Dayton feels like a darling team of many folks out there. They have a lot coming back from a very enticing freshman laden group last year. Notched a few marquee wins, the big one being Kansas around this time last season actually. So they’re bringing a ton of momentum with their great season last year bringing everybody back, but they’re a little bit banged up to start this year so they’re not operating on all cylinders right now.

Their catalyst at point guard Mali Smith is out and they travel to the desert for their first road game of the year as a young team to play feisty and defensive oriented Running Rebs bunch coached by Mr. Kevin Kruger, the son of Mr. Lon Kruger, and no family teaches defense as well as that group does and they’re deep and I think they’re sneaky talented on the offensive side of the ball as well. And lot sets up here for the Rebs. Sort of a vintage home dog spot tonight’s been bounced around from four to five, I take it at +4 or better. I think right now currently it’s sitting at +4.5, so +5 is great, +4 is really good too. Take the Rebs.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Again, both teams undefeated. Corby, some thoughts here if no official play on a UNLV team that was pretty good a year ago, but this is a new season. Obviously Dayton is in the top 25, they’re number 21. They’re favorite on the road. Any thoughts Corby Craig?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, I’m interested to see if UNLV can press enough to put Dayton in some trouble early. I think that if they do, this might go over. It’s at 131. That number really just hurts to play with these two teams. I can’t play anything here, but with Dayton’s injury issues, I think that UNLV’s has the potential and the ability to press and put some tempo in this game. Dayton obviously wants to slow it down, but can they do it without most of their priority and point guard? I don’t think so. I had this 134. I’m not playing 134 by any means. I like the side. I really hope UNLV wins outright, that would be just a little shock for your Tuesday, but I’ll be rooting for Matt for sure.

Speaker 1:

Keshon Gilbert is the star guard for UNLV. He had 23 in their last game.

Corby Craig:

He’s nasty.

Speaker 1:

Will it translate? You say nasty in a good way there. Is he a guy? Will that translate against a good Dayton team? Again, Anthony Grant has done well. I mean there’s so many reasons why 2020 just stunk, but I mean that Dayton team with Obi Toppin could very well have been a Final Four team and we will never know because none of it got to play out in March. But Dayton has regrouped after he’s gone on to the NBA. They’re usually pretty good in pre-season, right now they’re in the top 25. Nonetheless, Matty Cox is officially on the Runnin’ Rebs at the Thomas & Mack Center tonight and says lay or actually take those 4.5 points against Dayton. Let me just interject again, where would you still be comfortable on taking points? Would you still be comfortable at 3.5? For example, if the line moves later today, just one more time.

Matty Cox:

Yeah, I would. Four is where I’d draw the line against. I’m pretty strict on most of my strike prices. But yeah, I don’t believe it’s going to go any lower than four. I think you’re going to see this, you’ve already seen some money coming on Dayton early today, so there is some resistance from some big money, some sharp backers. I would be shocked to see it go below four, but that’s where I draw the line. I wouldn’t touch that 3.5 or three.

Speaker 1:

Okay, fair enough. Love the insight on this. We’ve got time now. Plenty of time to get us a Q&A and some different thoughts. We are going to get to that Kentucky matchup with Michigan State in a few moments, but we’ve got a special offer from you. We keep telling you about this. Thanksgiving is around the corner.

How are we feeling about that? Are we feeling as good as pumpkin pie about that? Are we feeling good about that? We ready to do this?

Matty Cox:

I’m not a pumpkin pie guy.

Speaker 1:

Not a pumpkin? Me neither. Pecan pie? Yes. And I have to testify, I even had pecan pie last night like in advance of the Thanksgiving dessert. I had a little pecan pie last night. I’m just sharing that here on a Tuesday. I’m open about these things. Yeah, you got to take care of it. And I did last night a little bit of ice cream. It was all good. All right, let’s get into the Q&A and see what you guys are wanting to ask about with certain games for Corby and for Matty Cox. Let’s go to Noah. Who has a question. I love my man Noah hanging in here on the BetUS College Basketball Show. He’s in the live chat. He wants to know about line movement in favor of Eastern Michigan. How do we feel about the money line here in this game tonight? Corby Craig, any thoughts?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, so Bradley is a team that I actually had value on early. I had this line at 11.5, so it’s fallen down to I believe seven now, which implies I should definitely bet on Bradley. So I would disagree with the money line +220, but I understand the movement. It’s only strictly on Emoni Bates, this Eastern Michigan team isn’t good other than him. He is elite. I mean, it’s pretty noted. He is a top caliber talent in the nation.

That said, he’s 500 from 3-6 from deep and almost shooting a 70% clip from two. So this can’t sustain, obviously, and Bradley has a complete basketball team. I have not bet it yet. I am looking to bet Bradley. I hope that it hits a little bit more. I think that people are just going to keep buying on this Emoni Bates train. He is really good, don’t get me wrong. And I was hoping to be able to back Eastern Michigan early in the year if people just kind of forgot about him. But he made it very known in the Michigan game not to forget about him. So it’s tough not to overlook him.

Speaker 1:

And Matty Cox, I don’t know if you and Corby know this, I’m a Memphis guy. So obviously Emoni Bates was there last year and it was almost like addition by subtraction when he had his injury or whatever the problems they were having behind the scenes with the NIL and the money he got and some selfishness, that word was being used. Okay, so he’s out of that situation. I have to testify, I have not seen him yet this year. I saw he had a 30 point game. Has he put on a little weight? Have we gotten the kids some muscle? I mean, what do we think here of Bates and what do you think real quick about this play here with Eastern Michigan?

Matty Cox:

No, he hasn’t added the bulk that I guess he’d probably like to see if you’re an NBA scout, but he has looked very impressive, much more efficient scoring shooting than he was last year. That was the issue I think last season. Just his shot looked a little bit off and he looked unsure of himself I think. Now he’s playing at full confidence. I think he feels like he’s the alpha of that team and while I think there’s actually more talent than meets the eye on this EMU squad, he is clear cut the best player. I think he’s kind of embracing that role. I’m sort of in on this money line question. I think it’s the right play here because with Bates he’s a kind of feast or famine type guy. So with the money line play, you’re looking for that high upside variance. Sure, if they lose by 20, no skin off your back, you’re playing money line, you’re looking for outright win. So I think if you’re going to play Eastern Michigan, money line’s the right play, not the spread. Especially with the way it’s been vetted into down to six right now.

Speaker 1:

There you go Noah, that was for you. You got two opinions there on that game. Let’s move on. Elijah wants to know about North Carolina laying the 22 at home in Chapel Hill with Gardner-Webb tonight. No official plays from the guys thoughts though? Matty Cox, back to you. Quick thought or you want to move on?

Matty Cox:

Gardner-Webb’s legit. Really give a major [inaudible 00:21:23] we just saw UNC struggle with Charleston a couple nights ago. They had a furious second half rally. I’m not playing it. I think 22 feels too big for me, but because it’s such a fast-paced game, it will play to a lower number, so nothing for me.

Speaker 1:

Corby, any thoughts?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, I made it 20. I don’t know too much in this situation, so I’m just giving my number. I made it 84-62.

Speaker 1:

Okay, fair enough on that. Good enough. All right, move on to another question. Showtime Cost wants to know about the Irvine Anteaters and Loyola Marymount. Did I see Irvine got an upset on the weekend as well?

Matty Cox:

Yeah, beat Oregon at Oregon.

Speaker 1:

While we’re talking about this, go ahead Matt.

Matty Cox:

Yeah, that beat Oregon. Beat Oregon at Oregon, which it’s kind of a function of Oregon. They’re in some disarray up there in the packed Northwest.

Speaker 1:

Corby, any thoughts on the over or on the total? He’s asking about the total 138 on the question.

Corby Craig:

I do not. Let me scroll through real quick. Irvine, I have it at under. So I’m at 132, it’s a 138. So anything would be the under for me. Six points is enough, I think seven is usually the number on a total, especially unders. For some reason I have, I project much better towards the overs. I don’t understand it, but I don’t ask questions.

Speaker 1:

You just look at numbers and give opinions.

Matty Cox:

Trust the model.

Speaker 1:

Trust the model, trust the numbers. A couple of more questions here. We still got time. I see the audience growing. We still got a few minutes for the guys. This is why you want to be live with us at 11:00 AM Monday through Friday Eastern time to get some Q&A. Dan watching says Oklahoma losing to Sam Houston and then winning by seven to Arkansas Pine Bluff means UNC Wilmington at +650. So Dan’s questions, thoughts on UNC Wilmington? I’m not even sure who the matchup is. I don’t have that in front of me. Corby, I saw you nodding a thought here if no play on that.

Corby Craig:

I was looking at it. I usually don’t bet like… this just isn’t my style of betting, but Oklahoma has had some really big issues. I think that it can’t go under notice. They have looked bad. It’s kind of like the whole Louisville situation. Louisville is a team that continues to get numbers that are just too high because of their name. So I’m not going to say that I am here for it, but if you just feel like sprinkling some lunch money, Oklahoma has looked really bad.

Speaker 1:

Well, and we’ve seen Matty Cox, we’ve seen some upsets. I mean, my man, Patrick Netherton, who I love is the voice of the Northwestern State Demons. They go into TCU and rally and come from behind and beat number 15 TCU last night. So we’ve seen some upsets even in the Big 12. Any thoughts here about this and about Oklahoma real quick, Matty?

Matty Cox:

Yeah, our listeners, watchers are sharp. Man, I think this is a great bet. I really do. It’s been bet down a little bit. So again, I see why you’re targeting money line. And OU, as Corby alluded to, they have some real question marks. There’s not big time talent there. I think he’s kind of soul searching for what his back port’s going to look like. Wilmington complete team experience team look pretty good in they’re opener. I think they’re a live dog tonight, I agree.

Speaker 1:

And the he is Porter Moser, the former Loyola Chicago coach that had them in the final four, second year at Oklahoma. They got to try to round out here, get a little better in that matchup tonight. Time for a couple more. Let’s see. Justin watching says Morehead State plus 17 against the Mountaineers of West Virginia. A little help. He needs a little help. Matty Cox, thoughts?

Matty Cox:

Nothing here. West Virginia is not great historically as a large favorite under Bob Huggins. So I tend to not want to lay the points, especially with more of a physical beat you up inside type of team. Not exactly a team that can put big runs on you, although they did that last game Against Pitt. So no action for me. This is kind of a big stay away

Speaker 1:

We know Huggies teams will guard. We know they will guard and that is a bunch of points. Interesting. Corby, any quick thought or you want to move on?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, one interesting thing to me is that West Virginia’s tempo ratings a 140th right now. They’ve scored 81 on Pittsburgh, what, 76 on Mount St. Mary’s? I don’t think this is a team with the athletes or care to push the pace of this nature. I don’t have numbers in front of me, but I believe we looked at West Virginia’s historics. This is probably one of the higher tempos they’ve pressed. Morehead historically likes to slow it down. I’m not entirely sure what they’ve done this year. Yeah, 311th in tempo. So I’ll look towards the under, which would obviously play towards an underdog covering, but I like the under more than the underdog here.

Speaker 1:

Good enough. One more ExCal360 says Temple opened at 4.5, but the line has moved a point in favor of Vanderbilt. Mixed feelings about that. He says, what are your thoughts guys on Temple, Vandy? Anybody want to take that one? Corby, any thought?

Corby Craig:

Temple’s off a tough game. They just played Villanova, I believe they into a good game. They closed five. So to see Vandy and Villanova on pretty similar numbers, kind of weird. I like Vanderbilt. I think that Temple’s probably the better team here. No real opinion. Think it’s just a really tough spot for Temple.

Speaker 1:

Thought. Matty Cox on this, if no play.

Matty Cox:

I’d fade Vandy. That’s sort of where I’m at with that, very simple. Never competitive against Southern Miss at home after the Memphis opening night debacle. Yeah, this is the team you’re looking to fade. So I lean the Owls home in Philly.

Speaker 1:

Good enough. I got one more question and that’s Kentucky, Michigan State. That’s the first game of the Champions Classic in Indianapolis. Guys, any thoughts there? Calipari’s team is favored by six on the neutral floor. No play, but any thoughts Corby?

Corby Craig:

Yeah, so big thing for me is I think Michigan State has a couple things going bad for them. First off, they obviously just played Gonzaga to a pretty tough game on the carrier. It’s a tough situational spot to just go see Kentucky next. I think that can’t be underplayed. Also, pre-season. I had Michigan State projected a little worse than they’ve been playing so far. They’ve actually exceeded my expectations a good bit. So if anything I would than Kentucky.

I’m really hoping that Michigan State continues to take money. I don’t like a six. I would probably play like a 4.5, five maybe. I like Kentucky. Kentucky has a very talented team. Oscar Tshiebwe, I believe he’s a game time decision. That’s obvious that that is a very big part of this entire thing. So keeping an eye on him. Keeping an eye on if this line moves down any, but I imagine that if it continues to move down, that’s because somebody knows Oscar’s not playing. So there’s a lot of variables. I’m probably going to stay away due to the amount of uncertainty in this game, but I think Michigan State just has too many things going against them here.

Speaker 1:

Matty, any quick thought there at Kentucky, Michigan State?

Matty Cox:

Line does feel high. I will say, especially with Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler, their point guard, not 100%. So I think I’d bet the older team catching the points here.

Speaker 1:

Good enough. We’ve given you a bevy on the Q&A. Let’s go back to what the guys do have for tonight, including agreement on a game. As you will see here on the best bets, they’re agreeing on Pacific and their matchup coming to the upper Midwest, the Badlands to play North Dakota tonight. And UNLV in a late night game, Matty cox likes as an underdog. With that, we have come to the finish line here on a Tuesday show. Final thoughts? Matty Cox, a final thought, anything else?

Matty Cox:

Let’s go Devils. Big night tonight for John Scheyer, Coach S in his marquee debut.

Speaker 1:
