This is Sport r j Mory so George Curts predicts 8,500 fans will show up for the baseball game tomorrow in Oakland cam what’s your prediction how many people are going to go to that game 12,658 morenzi that’s my that’s my number 12658 go one you guarantee the win I’m coming in
Higher I’m gonna say that they get um 20 21,000 oh you’re out of your mind that’s that’s a 18 18 to 21,000 wow I may be low I don’t see I don’t see over 20 I can see Cam being right you know I could see that it is
Opening day but the price right cheap well but the team is not there’s no one to watch on that you going to see Zack gof that’s it still the first hit the ball dude they’re GNA get people like I’m look going to look up here how many
How many tickets have the AIDS sold there’s got to be they gotta hit 10 thou they got to get over 10,000 like it’s that’s an no-brainer right come on I don’t think it’s gonna be everyone gets a foul bull night you know I don’t think it’s gonna be that but uh I
Don’t I think it probably be between what I said and Camp said I can’t see higher than that I really can’t I hope it is but I just I mean they’re all ticked off at the ownership there might be going to Vegas they might not be maybe going to Utah they got 26
Last year we cut it they got 26 for their their home I no but I’m telling you I saw this in Montreal similar situation like the Expos were leaving and kind people knew it they decent team some a good good players to watch yeah no it’s true the Expos were
Better the Expos were better but my point was people would go for the first game to’d be like 50,000 people I remember Bill Cosby that’s when I interviewed Bill Cosby Cosby was there for the the home opener and the next day nobody was there it was like 6,000 people for the next
Game and Cosby said he goes I remember he told me goes do people in Montreal know that baseball isn’t a one game season right he goes last night it was sold out like right I’ll never forget him tell me that and it’s true and I said the only time people ever come to
The games bill is the first game and the last game of the year and shout out to everyone joining us on SE so it’ll be the same thing it’s sort of like a little protest people will show up to you know bring their signs to tell fiser
To suck it and stuff like that but dude they’re there for another couple of years they’re trying to extend the lease right now right so my prediction is like I said 20,000 19,000 18,000 21,000 they’ll get more people and they let people bring their dogs too that’s
That’s my idea yeah like you see the uh the Marlins are letting people bring you can bring your pet and you can bring any musical instrument into the stadium amazing Mar’s got a great food pack well they’re doing some really thing their their food so tomorrow you had a Marlin
Game they want to get that Caribbean feel right with the drums like you know what I mean they want to get like and it’s a smart idea because if you get a couple of thousand you can get Cam you put 2,000 like drunk dudes with drums and horns in the stadium suddenly it
Sounds like a lot of people yeah guy ding ding ding when they were back in the day that guy was a famous like his drums were so loud that was like one guy so you’re going to bring a whole Orchestra in there amazing just imagine though like some dude brings
Like symbols like sitting behind you this will be worse like that was badell yeah cowbells that guy yeah that’s when you know you’re desperate for anybody to come yeah they should like you know they should just tell people like you know they should sell like homeless people say send spend
The night at the stadium we’ll charge you seven bucks to get in sleep just sleep on the like movie theaters yeah yeah like in LA that’s what people do like in movie theaters you get to cheat movies used to be a place in La it’d be full of like just
Street people all night because it was like five bucks like for like three movies in a row right like uh that that’s what like the Marlins and the a are basically like almost when you’re telling people listen you can bring your pets and you can bring musical instruments it’s a free-for-all sounds
Like a good time though it does I’m surprised they do the pets thing though because that’s got to be a liability issue if a dog did bite somebody do we sign waivers you must have to sign a waiver yeah I’m assuming you can’t bring like your pet alligator you know what
I’m saying somebody tried that somebody actually tried what you told me about to bring a pet alligator they right yeah yeah they would allow it can’t be poisonous like you can’t be rolling in with like yeah like remember I said they’re going to be cursed now like
Curse of the billy goat that’s how the curse of the Cubs happened budy showed up with his goat yeah that’s how the Cubs curse started the curse of the billy goat was a guy showed up with his goat and they used to let him in and one
Day they were like you can’t come into the stadium with your goat anymore yeah and he said I curse you guys that was it they never won took a hundred years to win Kev you’re right guy comes in with a wicker basket and and a cobra pops out
Out of it who knows what the hell’s gonna happen right I worked at some metal show those Norwegian death metal bands and stuff and some guy showed up with a goat’s head on a spike yeah and they wouldn’t they wouldn’t let him in they were like
You can’t come in like with a goat’s head he was like what do you mean he goes like it’s on the record cover it’s like this isn’t the record cover he had like a like dud like the security like they were like no you can’t come In this is Portrait The Pimps the players officers people to bust and everybody else in between Hey listen hey if it took him the Toronto Maple Leafs to win a championship like you I mean bring a moose inside or something oh I agree bring a moose in like whatever it takes
Like bring it down moose in here aren Caribou I don’t care bring anything Wildlife I’m in put them on skates whatever it takes put on skates put in put him in that put him in that why not isn’t there a Geico commercial where the goalies of walrus
Yes yes that’s true actually very good I say per they stole my idea from years ago which I said I don’t want know why you don’t get a sumo wrestler to be a goalie in hoey Charles Wong brought that up Char yeah the island he brought that
Up wrestler in that that’s the thing you can’t just lie across the crease though it’s actually a brilliant idea if they let it happen can’t score yeah you know what the problem is though you need to get like not you need like you need to get someone from one of those like um
What’s that Network that has all those shows like the um my 600 pound life and stuff like that oh yeah well that’s TLC thank yeah TC that pretty quick Tommy he seem to be a fan I got TLC popper and stuff those you know you
Got go to one of these people are like 700 lb and say listen get off this Loser Show we’re going to make you a professional hockey problem is Gabe when you’re 700 lb you can’t stay on your feet those skates are hard for people with shape like you’re done like you
Can’t good luck you can’t do remember that show ESPN science they tried it actually they actually put a sumo wrestler in the net he was too fat to move and the snipers were able to pick the corners damn right we need a fatter guy man we need like a bigger blob
Though like there’s got to be a dude man plus you you put him in those vasileski pods come on man Garf snow pads man you got to get the Garf snow pads I guess this is the equiv of bringing in the little person like Eddie gell a Pitch hit though isn’t
It thanks George happy opening Day Sports grp is going to have you covered for this NCAA tournament H that’s the that we know when it’s winter go home they love to go home Tennessee’s now in my phony Club they should all get together and drink green te fman going to have
A that is a team I’m batting on right now we are feeling this you are feeling this at home the excitement and the atmosphere only on Sports Grid it does look like they’re looking for a buyout here or a payoff here you know trying to get in with DraftKings here which does make some sense and we’re seeing this a lot with some of these smaller companies RSI selling bet Rivers essentially would be really interesting
They have a bunch of Latin American companies that are uh countries that are ramping up that they’re going to be profitable in they’re profitable now even with their smaller State newswire only on Sports grid Sports grid your 247 Sports wagering Network proleague soccer powered by Mara I would be willing to
Bet the under two and a half goals fantasy sports today especially in head-to-head formats and fantasy I think I’m going to go with Juan stto game time decisions people don’t like it I don’t really care I cannot believe anybody is betting the Clippers at this number
Betting Above the Rim I’ve heard you say on the network is you’re either winning or you rebuilding in game live all access nobody has been more profitable as a dog than Shaka smart team winning backto back road games I I don’t care if they’re playing to pea High I I wouldn’t
Give them any chance whatsoever in game live Prime Time back to back just utterly stinker quarters ingame live overtime honestly as as you sit here and listen watch right now you may want to consider uh placing that bet it’s smarter to be on Sports Grid This is sports r i Mor let’s do this thing countdown of the sweet 16 is on we haven’t talked too much about the uh we talked about the NIT uh earlier but we haven’t really gotten into the um the sweet 16 let’s do it Clemson uh Clemson
And Arizona the first uh the first ones up uh tomorrow night the Clemson Tigers are getting seven and a half points in this game the total is 152 a team from the West Coast has not won a team past the state of uh the Texas state line hasn’t won a
Championship since uh 1997 can Arizona reverse that uh this year probably not but they should survive against the Clemson Tigers let’s bring in Ian Cameron right now AK babano good to see you babano let’s do this thing we have a monster day of action on Thursday with the sweet 16 Major League Baseball
Opening day and the Frozen 4 begins tomorrow afternoon as well NCAA ice hockey championships how you doing Bano I’m doing great it is it’s a really underrated Thursday coming up we’ve got sweet 16 MLB Frozen 4 there’s lots going on huge NHL slate so it’s a great Thursday great for sports
Better so um Clemson and Arizona the first teams up here Clemson have surprised people they played great basketball they beat a very good B you know beating Baylor the way that they did that’s you know that’s not easy to do that’s not a fluke so they’ve shown
That they can match up with a physical mentally tough uh team but Arizona are a better offensive team in Baylor R different style of basketball right now what do you uh what do you think about this first game up on the board I think it’s the end of the road personally for
Clemson they’ve had a nice run to this point but I think when you look at it the the Difference Maker I think for them in the last couple games was the couple of bigs they had played well including PJ Hall who’s a really good player for Clemson but he had his way in
The low post there’s a lot of size that Arizona can throw at you and Omar Balo of course is the main man that might be able to neutralize what PJ Hall did so well in the first two games and I just think for this Clemson team on the
Defensive end of the Court where they’ve actually played very well when you look at those two wins against New Mexico and Baylor some of the better defensive efforts all season from that tiger Squad but there’s a lot of Firepower that Arizona is going to throw at them I
Liked what I saw from that Arizona offense and what I really like about Arizona too is they faced a team that’s kind of G to do what Clemson did uh or what Clemson’s going to do to them with Dayton and they survived it and they pulled away late from the Flyers a very
Good team and you look at the where the location of this game is is you know it’s going to be a pro Wildcats crowd there’s going to be a lot of Arizona red in that building supporting them so I think in this situation here I’m laying
The points with the wild cats there will be but I get it it’s closer you know what it’s LA but um Clemson fans don’t often get to the Sweet 16 cam they’re gonna go they’re going to be all fired up for this so I don’t really think there’s any sort of
Homec court advantage or anything like that uh for for Arizona what’s your pick C for this game I think ban I think Arizona’s going to win but I don’t think it’s going to be easy I think that’s a very good number by the book makers and
You know Arizona is one of those teams we saw they can be flaky but come tournament time they’ve been good Clemson is a very very well- coached team they played two very good teams well and Gabe you got to think that Baylor game even though if there was
Probably more time left Baylor would have came back and won but Clemson still in the clutch they got it done seven and a half seems like a lot of points to me I think Arizona is going to squeak out a win just under the number I’ll take
Clemson with the points but I would not be shocked you know Arizona’s probably going to win the game and survive but I understand Ban’s take I think it’s gonna be a very very good game these games though now like I said earlier it’s always the um it’s always
The decision you can get caught up in the hype with a team in the first two rounds but as the the tournament goes on the better team start to separate and you know a team can C catch lightning in a bottle sort of like the
Oilers Bano you get hot and you get the allstar break it’s like yeah we were hot last weekend doesn’t mean we’re going to be hot again this week and and the competition gets tougher as well and you know different Dynamic matchup but you got to give him a hell of a lot of
Credit like you know New Mexico were a really trendy team coming into the tournament they beat New Mexico Baylor were a trendy team they you know Baylor won the title A couple of years ago they beat Baylor so there’s no reason to believe that they can’t hang around
Uh with Arizona I think they’re a live dog here but for me I think the game goes over the 152 uh and a half that’s what catches my eye there um the most San Diego State is the next one up 20 minutes later uh with Yukon the point spread is 11 the total
Is 136 we know what happened last year uh in a title game and the Yukon huskys these guys have been going on one of the most dominant runs in in permanent uh history right now eight straight wins in the NCAA tournament eight straight covers in the NCAA uh tournament uh for
The Yukon huskies and When You Dig Down Deeper too they’ve just been on an incredible uh credible run 24- six in their last 30 uh NCAA tournament games against the spread man that’s an 80% clip Bano you know all credit to San Diego State for doing their thing again
Dutcher the man it was a you know was it was a nice nice weekend for them last year but I don’t see how they’re going to get this done and I don’t even think they can cover against Yukon there’s no disrespect to the asacks but Yukon are just too
Good I really really am close to taking San Diego State but I just don’t know if I want to go against that Yukon freight train I mean they’ve just been ripping apart teams in the tournament that being said this is a San Diego State team that
Will play defense that will try to make you execute in the half court problem is Yukon can execute in the half court problem is Yukon can execute and transition you turn the ball over they can do everything on offense they can score inside with gaban they can score
Outside Spencer uh and others I mean they’re just Newton I mean they’re just absolutely Dynamic here Yukon they play great defense too which and obviously they can match if not better to the Aztecs with their strength defensively and really for Yukon it’s going to be contain Jaden Le make this Supporting
Cast really step up for San Diego State because that’s sometimes where they can get into those offensive droughts when Le is neutralized they put the blanket on him you know can the other guys step up here I just think it’s a lot of points to give a well coached very very
Good San Diego State team who by the way lost to this Yukon team in the national championship last year so you know they’re going to be itching for a second crack at them I think Yukon wins I think San Diego State though will sneak inside
The num so I’ll give a mild lean to the points here with San Diego State in spite of that Yukon dominant ATS run yeah the Aztec say we’re excited to get another crack at the Huskies obviously they won the national championship last year but I feel like
We’re right there just to get another chance at it I think we’re up for the opportunity we have the team to do it so the Aztecs have confidence uh which is good uh but they lost 7558 last year interesting that the total so they got to 133 last year the total of this
Basketball game 136 sort of right there but I think this San Diego State team actually is better offensively this year than they were last year so I think that San I don’t think San Diego State will get held to this little amount of points uh like
They did in the title game uh last year I think they can get I think they’ll crack 60 they’ll get into the 60s I like the over and I like the Yukon Huskies to cover the number but listener and viewer uh should be aware I got Yukon winning
The national championship so I’m biased I’m all in on Yukon makes sense Gabe that back door might be open to to Ban’s point but it’s one of those things I don’t want to step in front of Yukon they’re just they could beat them in just so many
Different ways and I really worry about San Diego State scoring because Yukon can crank up the defense as well it’s just they’re they’re just a wicked basketball team every Department coaching bigs guards everything they got the whole package and San Diego State we know this they can go on scoring
Droughts sometimes Miss free throws as well you got to be almost perfect against Yukon even if that back door is open so tough game but uh I don’t know Gabe I kind of lean under in this spot due to the defense but it’s a low
Total yeah one um our screen says 135 a half what is it’s currently 136 right now what do you think of the total of babano in this game we should know too this game is in Boston at the TD Garden yeah it’s a really tough total I’d lean
Under but um I 136 is not a total I’m going to bet under at that number it’ll go over like I said they got to 133 last year I think that Yukon will score pretty much the same amount like if look at you know I think the yukon’s going to win like 77
To 63 or something little bit higher scoring but same type of Results Sports is going to have you covered for this NCAA tournament Ah that’s the that we know when it’s winter go home they love to go home Tennessee’s now in my phony Club it should all get together and drink green Tea’s going to have a chance that is a team I’m betting on
Right now we are feeling this you are feeling this at home the excitement and the atmosphere only on Sports Grid it does look like they’re looking for a buyout here or a payoff here you know trying to get in with DraftKings here which does make some sense and we’re seeing this a lot with some of these smaller companies RSI selling bet Rivers essentially would be really interesting

Give them any chance whatsoever ingame live Prime Time back to back just utterly stink their quarters ingame live overtime honestly as as you sit here and listen watch right now you may want to consider uh placing that bet it’s smarter to be on Sports Grid This is sports r j Mory we’re kicking at cam Stewart in the house Ian Cameron countdown of the sweet 16 is on we’re just talking about some of the trends of about uh the Yukon huskies and specifically Hurley and this dominant run that they’re on right now eight
Straight like they won six straight last year obviously the first two they’ve covered every one of the games they’ve covered by over an average of seven points as well like comparable to the point spread which is crazy like so there’s you know I mean this is one of the most dominant
Runs ever actually and you know if You Dig Down Deeper Yukon 24- six in their last 30 against the spread their last 30 NCAA tournament games but this will blow people away um Hubert Davis of the North Carolina Tar Heels 8 and0 against the spread in the NCAA tournament remember
They went to the championship game um so six games covered every game didn’t win then didn’t make the tournament B Bano then didn’t make the tournament yeah yeah didn’t make it and now it back again and covered again eight straight covers for the Tar Heels as well yeah
Yeah for me I for I I like North Carolina here I think it runs out for Nate oats in Alabama they got away with one I don’t that was one of the sloppiest weirdest most bizarre basketball games you’ll see them in Grand Canyon last weekend I mean it was
Junk ball it was street ball you know everyone’s diving for loose balls no one can make a shot nothing was clean I mean it was just one of those weird crazy games games and uh it was just not very well played but it was intense I will
Say that both teams played hard but it was definitely not smooth fluid well executed basketball specifically offensively in that game and they’re going to have to execute offensively and when that means for Alabama is they got to hit their threes and that’s always the key for them and I’m not sure it’s
Going to be easy to pull that off against North Carolina and look I mean Michigan State jumped on them early and I like the mental resolve we saw in North Carolina because that was a bad start Michigan State punched them in the mouth and North Carolina responded the
Right way and then they basically take took over the game late first half and into the second half that’s a good sign I think Alabama is going to be in trouble dealing with the size of Bott in the low post in this game I like North Carolina and I know this total’s high
It’s really really high but neither team’s going to slow down you’re going to see Pace on both sides it’s scary to go over in the 170s at this time of year uh sweet 16 You’ think defense tightens up but I think we will see a lot of
Points I still think it can go over that number man it’s a high total 173 and a half and obviously I love betting on overs but even this one scares me a little bit because if there’s just a little bit of a slow start you’re going to be able to
Get a better number in game right I mean this thing could drop to 162 and a half pretty quickly maybe 158 and a half yeah you know what I’m saying you know I’ll still bet I’ll still I’m gonna jump in on the over at of principal but I’ll
Wait out like some bigger plays I’m not going to go like oh oh yeah there’s some all in there’s no way this game doesn’t go over I’ll sort of let it see how it plays out early in game and see how the refs are calling it as far as fouls and
If Alabama do get into a lot of foul trouble early but I do like North Carolina I’ve got him going to the final four and I will lo I will uh still take them minus the the points are up to four and a half Illinois and Iowa State here’s another really intriguing game
Contrast and styles uh here you have the second best offensive team in the tournament going against the the second best defensive team in the tournament right it’s like offense versus defense here but B you don’t Point Blank that’s why it’s almost like a pick them right they’re like all right offense versus
Defense which one are you taking I’m taking offense here personally I’m taking Illinois yeah I’m stuck I’m I’m sticking with the team I picked to uh win the National Championship in my bracket Iowa State uh the Cyclones yeah that’s right Iowa State I have winning the national final four you had a wild
One so what’s still alive Iowa State still alive two of them are knocked out MC MCX but you still you you know you’re sing for the fences that’s what you do in we were for the fen we have Iowa State we have Iowa state in the national championship what was the other three
New Mexico that didn’t last long they got bounced early no it didn’t they got bounced early I’m bring it I forget yeah I did not expect them to get just drilled like that uh in that first game the way they were by Gonzaga but credit to Gonzaga playing well in that game but
Yeah we had MCN uh we had and I have Iowa State winning this national championship and as far as this game goes I’m going to trust their defense now what does concern me as I read a stat that teren Shannon of Illinois who’s been incredible him and uh domask
For Illinois have been absolutely outstanding here during this great stretch darence Shannon played Iowa State a ton at Texas Tech and he’s never lost at Iowa State he’s beaten Iowa state every single time but he’s with a different team now this is I think an even better Iowa State team uh going
Into this game yeah I’ve got Iowa State over Houston in my national championship game in my bracket so that’s and so I got to stick with it and I like Iowa State I love the way otzelberger is played and here’s the key to me I think Iowa State’s a little more well-rounded
Offensively and I think they’re better defensively you have to rely on teren Shannon and Marcus Damas to do a lot of the heavy lifting here for Illinois and and on the flip side for Iowa State you can got you’ve got Kishon Gilbert you’ve got tamien lipy you’ve got movich who
Can drain threes Curtis Jones I think there’s a lot more balance in this Iowa State team four or five guys can beat you it’s really a two-man show for Illinois and I think that could be the difference the better defensive team is Iowa State I think they get the win
It’ll be a great game it’ll be a close game but I like Iowa State it would be quite the party as Iowa State have never won the National Championship uh before and it would almost be like wow this that was pretty crazy that Iowa State
One but they are Elite right I mean any team that smashes Houston the way that they did they are they can play with anybody in the country but I feel that Illinois I think Illinois are being slept on right now I think Illinois size will be able to handle um will be able
To handle Iowa State one thing with with Iowa State though they are good at badgering you and just sort of swiping at the ball they get like a lot of like loose baskets off of that like they’re really good at that if they were like a football team they’d be creating
Turnovers type of deal like you know I mean it seems you know I mean it seems casual they’re in the paint and stuff but they’ll swap the ball up the court and it leads to two points they get a lot of transition offense off of their sort of just street ball defense of
Getting in your face and swinging at the ball and stuff but I think Illinois are poised to deal with it it’s going to be an epic game it really is it’s one of those games like wow this is just such a unique cool matchup you know what I mean
Both these teams have a so much Swagger and attitude as well Illinois have a chip on their shoulder like you said ban Shannon missed so much uh basketball this year with the controversy around him they get all fired up when fans taunt him and stuff like the the
Illinois players play into it this is going to be a real battle I don’t like getting in front of Iowa State either but I’m already kind of talk myself in Illinois what’s your pick Kim another thing guys take a look at look at this uh Trend to the over Gabe have you can
You believe this only two unders in their last 16 14 and two to the over with uh Illinois this is a team that is really scoring points right now they’re only lost in their last 10 to Purdue very very interesting stuff but Ban’s right though Iowa state they’re a gritty
Tough team they could turn it into a street fight I think this is the game you want to talk Gabe I know you like the kraton game maybe going uh what was game you’re talking about Tennessee game going overtime this game has got close potential all over it too would not be
Shocked if it came down to the last basket but I’m with Illinois they’re just a hot team right now but it should be a this should be a real classic T 146 146 is the total uh right now for Illinoi and Iowa State I think it’ll get there there’s going to be a
Million fouls uh in this game and free throw shooting will be Paramount actually um in a game like this especially in the second half NC State and Marquette Marquette are laying 6 and a half points the total is 151 in this game I will be hitting the
Over of this we were successful hitting in the over in the last game with Colorado and Marquette we’re going to go right back to it here B Bandon with NC State and uh Marquette and I think we have a live dog once again uh with NC State what do you think about this
Game now this is of the two surprise teams they’re both out of the ACC Clemson and NC State I think there’s a better chance for NC State to advance uh and win this game than uh Clemson I give NC State at least a shot here against Marquette because to me they’ve got all
Of a sudden they look like a team that’s getting so much better defensively than they were early in the year Kevin ke’s team defensively they couldn’t stop anybody at one point this year now all of a sudden defensively they’ve clamped down all of a sudden you’re getting inside outside scoring uh it’s been
Impressive to see the guard has been better DJ burns down low has been a oneman wrecking crew uh in the paint rebounding put backs easy baskets in the paint and nobody can stop them right now this is an NC State team that is on a roll little concerned of course that the
You know the weekend uh or the week between games maybe throws them off a little but at the same point in time Marquette is a team that kind of wins close games and when you look at Marquette I know K look’s back best player makes a world of difference for
Them but you know that was a close game with Colorado very competitive I think NC State at the very least if they lose this game is a pretty competitive down to the wire type of game so I Like the Wolf Pack here C Marquette and um and NC
State what are you doing with this one yeah this is the one I disagree with you guys on I just think Cameron Brown has been on fire and kck’s been amazing and but you guys are right they do play a lot of close games but this is I think
The break really really hurts NC State in this spot I think Marquette wins this game by like 10 to 12 points I know they’re not going to blow them out but I think they cover the spread and handle their business I like Marquette in this spot you know people thought you know
People the teams that won their tournament some of them did well some of them didn’t right you look at New Mexico New Mexico won their conference tournament it blew up Oregon won their conference tournament they did okay they ended up losing NC State have managed to keep the momentum going so that’s one
Thing babano I’ll sort of think okay they were they managed to stay hot after the last couple of days off like Atlantic and San Diego managed to stay hot last year so like I get the feeling NC State same thing that like no they’re not they’re not going to lose it they’re
Kind of locked in right now to what what they’re Doing Sports is going to have you covered for this NCAA tournament Ah that’s the that we know when it’s winner go home they love to go home Tennessee’s now in my phony Club they should all get together and drink green tea that is a team I’m betting on right
Now we are feeling this you are feeling this at home the excitement and the at atmosphere only on Sports Grid it does look like they’re looking for a buyout here or a payoff here you know trying to get in with DraftKings here which does make some sense and we’re seeing this a lot with some of these smaller companies RSI selling B Rivers essentially would be really interesting
They have a bunch of Latin American companies that are uh countries that are ramping up that they’re going to be profitable in they’re profitable now even with their smaller State Newswire only on Sports grid Sports grid your 247 Sports wagering Network proleague soccer powered by Mara I would be willing to

Give them any chance whatsoever ingame live Prime Time back to back just utterly stinker quarters ing game live overtime honestly as as you sit here and listen watch right now you may want to consider uh placing that bet it’s smarter to be on Sports Grid This is sports rage countdown to tip off is on the sweet 16 Clemson and Arizona first up at uh 7:00 Eastern a couple of minutes after 7 obviously the books have’t listed at 709 Eastern 409 Pacific then San Diego State and uh Yukon at um 739 Alabama North Carolina at 940 and
Then 1010 Illinois Iowa state they’re morons I don’t know what the problem is with all these people nowadays putting schedules together like now is the time like they did this so on Saturday afternoon after the sweet 16 or after the opening round they stretch the games
Out all day so they have one game on then they have another game on they have another game on they stretch it out all day then on Sunday night they have a bunch of good games going on at once like now is the time when they should
Have the games isolated right and not like so so much like head-to head as opposed to before I you know in the old days it was over on Sunday night at like 9:00 whatever you know what I mean they go to 60 minutes after and be like all
Right we’ll see you on Thursday it’s over now like games are starting on Sunday night at like 10:50 and stuff right I know like they’re they’re really you know it’s hard to screw up a tournament but they kind of do like with you know they they put you in a tough
Spot but it’s going to be over the top tomorrow night big drama uh with these four games going on at once so uh we talked about NC State and Marquette looking at Duke and Houston this is going to be another fun game contrast in Styles an interesting number as far as
As Kelvin Samson is concerned and the Houston Cougars we know how good of a defensive team they are they got they found themselves at a track meet uh against Texas A&M and they showed that they can score points but how about this guys well Samson has only given up 90 points
In his career in a basketball game nine times before the result after he’s given up 90 or more points 9-0 straight up and 8- one against the spread Bano that’s quite a track record of Houston clamping down after getting lit up right and I know they played a crappy team in the
First game of the tournament but after they got lit up by Iowa State we saw them when they were angry defensively I personally think Houston are gonna Badger Duke and they’re gonna just sort of they’re gonna get under Duke’s skin Duke’s not going to be able to handle Kansas just um Houston’s Relentless
Physicality with them in the paint I think Philip palowsky is going to start to cry to the refs he’s going to [ __ ] they get into foul trouble and Duke aren’t good at beating teams that are better than them right as evidence the fact that they haven’t won an NCAA
Tournament game as a lower seed since 1994 now yeah you can say okay you know credit them they’re off in the higher seed fine but it also shows you you know what I mean cam you know what I mean like that stat before Harbaugh doesn’t win as an underdog he wins what he’s
Supposed to doesn’t win the game you know what I mean me Duke are sort of like that they don’t win they’re not winning the games they’re not supposed to now and when they meet sort of a tougher bully they don’t farewell as we saw even in the ACC here then North
Carolina beat them on their home court on the way out in the last game of the year I like the Houston Cougars I’m buying in I think Houston are going to the final but I think Houston handle her business against Duke and look better even than they did against
A&M yeah thank you for building my case I mean those are two great points Point uh about the uh the dominance by Houston after giving up 90 the fact that Duke has not been able to punch above their weight class in this tournament for what three decades has a lower seed against a
Higher seed losing uh that’s not what you want to see and more than anything this is the opponent that gets under Duke’s skin physical teams tough teams teams that’ll bang in the low post and in the paint rebound you crash the boards crash the glass Duke’s not going
To be able to handle much of that we have not seen Duke in that trench warfare type of Stu basketball that’s not their game and Houston’s probably going to make them want to play that game I know Jamal shed Kelvin Samson all week long saying that they know they can
Be a lot better and they know they have to close out a lot better so I think you get a strong 40-minute effort from this team the defense returns I know Duke has really I think offensively played a lot better than I thought I think they played a little above their heads
Offensively like they’re making every shot against James Madison I don’t see that happening here in this game against Houston this is my best if I had a best bet in the sweet 16 this is the best bet Houston minus four they win in cover Houston minus four reo’s best bet and I
Think the numbers going to climb there’s four and a halfs popping up right now cam you taking the Houston Cougars yeah and another thing is to Ban’s Point like just the way they beat down James Madison who is everyone’s darling too I think you get a better point spread in
This game because they just won by by by margin that’s the whole thing and James Madison kind of after they were down they they were done they tapped out that game was absolutely over and Duke really did they really dominate that game or James Madison kind of just said you know
What the part’s over for us we’re getting absolutely hammered this is the thing you’re playing a real defense now that’s a problem I don’t know I think Duke can maybe hang for a little bit but as the game wears on Houston’s one of those teams eventually you’ll get frustrated against a a significantly
Better defense and that leads to you know Victory I think Houston will pull away Gabe I was looking at Duke earlier but the more I think about it I think you guys are on the right side James Madison you see all these teams like James Madison Grand Canyon Yale all three big
Wins they can’t keep it going you know what I mean it was like like okay that was it we peaked that was you know what I mean this as good as we are there’s levels to this it’s sort of like the UFC yeah you won the fight on fight night
Doesn’t mean you’re winning on the paper- viiew now right like there’s levels to this and these teams just sort of all got punched in the mouth um I’ve been talking a lot about the the kraton Tennessee game this is the one that worries me kraton are good man kraton be
You this year right but kraton are reliant on their three Tennessee are better than AR defensively Tennessee have a pure score that’s going to give you 20 plus and you know maybe hopefully more you know I mean God I hopefully connect can connect for more um but this
Is going to be a wild fun game full of stress and drama we we talked about it last night how we never talk you know never would recommend college basketball teasers for the most part but if there’s ever a game you want to te man I think
You know teasing kraton plus the points isn’t a bad idea looking at the game to go to overtime I’ve talked a lot this week about this game going overtime not great odds like they almost expect it will the game be tied at the end of regulation plus
850 will it be tied at the half is plus 12200 that could be worth a little dance as well you just do it them both man and hope for the best games are often tied at the half cam this game could be 3030 at the half or 3535 or something
Especially a 12 to1 that’s not a Bad Bet plus 12200 this is a great game I I I the more I think about it Gabe you’re right like Tennessee is very athletic but kraton well coached great Shooters on that team very very solid maybe not as
Deep but we talk about the breaks in this tournament too that helps the teams stay refreshed in this spot I’m you know what Gabe I gotta be honest with you I think kraton’s one of those teams that just I I believe in them I think they
Show up in big moments I think they’re just a little bit better I like kraton in this spot they’re getting two and a half basically if Tennessee was get you know what I mean like I I’m with you I think this game is almost like a straight pick them e
Dog and it’s you know we obviously have to bring it up abano was well in cam but um Greg McDermot versus Rick Barnes yeah yes right I mean mcder you know great great coach is this is this the is this the tournament that Barn sort of erases
The Narrative around him a little bit similar to Matt Painter I’m worried about this one you know Tennessee was the one pick in my final four parlay that I sort of thought outside the box just to try to get some money for it but
You know I didn’t have to do it but I I can’t lie I’m nervous about this game but I think Tennessee can win the game I just think it’s a complete tossup what’s your pick babano simply because look I actually cashed a ticket with Texas against Tennessee they were getting the seven
And a half and of course it ended up being what a four-point win uh for Tennessee in the uh round of 32 I mean the numbers for Rick Barnes beyond the first round are horrendous against the number and that alone is pointing me in the direction of kraton now I will say
This I don’t love this game but I I I will take a piece of kraton plus two and a half because for all the chatter never gets past this point in the tournament it’s not like Greg mcdermit had a huge track record of success going deep into the NCA tournament either with kraton
They’ve had good teams really good teams but they haven’t exactly been knocking down the door of a final four a national championship all these years so I think both of these teams have a lot to prove both of these coaches have a lot to prove in this game but it’ll be the
Players that decide it you know I mean you know people want to talk about the coaching stuff it’s going to come down it’s gonna come down to the players well that’s what happens when you live by how are they gonna handle caulk Brer because cul Brer has been really good in this
Tournament the big guy for kraton that’s that’s going to be an interesting matchup for the vs here great matchup uh great game um like I said you know this is the one plus eight there’s a reason why it’s only plus eight normally it’s like man and Alexander for kraton zegler
And of course Dalton connect for Tennessee I mean this game’s got a lot of good stuff to it and then we got Purdue laying five and a half to Gonzaga the total is 154 and a half everybody was down on Gonzaga all year now everybody can’t get off there there how
Gonzaga are good enough to beat Purdue I personally think Purdue are gonna punch him in the mouth and it’s the end of the line uh for Gonzaga Gonzaga shot the lights out that was the best game they played all year one of the best games they ever played ever like Mark F would
Tell you that like just everything fell into place for them Kansas just fell apart in the second half hit a wall were tired it caught up to them in Salt Lake you know what I mean we talked about that going into the game against Samford that maybe sford could run and Gun them
Into the ground they nearly did right and they totally set that up man for uh freaking zaga not to take anything away from the zags but it was like basically Samford beat them up left them in an alley and then Gonzaga came and just
Took the wallet out of the B got of the pocket after like you know what I’m saying yeah like sford were the one that did all the work and set it up I mean that game was 4441 at the half with Gonzaga and Kansas so I think defensively Gonzaga still have their
Flaws guys and I don’t think they’re going to be able to deal with uh with Edie and I don’t think they’re going to be able to hit threes like they did against Kansas I like Purdue I know everybody’s anti- Purdue and that’s why we’re getting
Value with such a good team in Purdue a minus five and a half give me the boiler makers guys yeah I mean it’s a great game I I lean Gonzaga but I’ll tell you what I like more I like the over this is my favorite over of this sweet 16 I
Think there’s points points and more points Gonzaga is going to push Pace that’s not going to change their offense is Flowing as well as it has all year and the one thing about Gonzaga is that pace can sometimes get Purdue’s Purdue is strong Court defense but you can
Score on them in transition and their transition defense at times this year hasn’t been great and Gonzaga is as good as it gets with transition offense so I think Gonzaga can score points but I’ll tell you what on the flip side here Gonzaga I like Graham eek the transfer
From Wyoming’s done a great job for him for Mark Fu but still I don’t think he’s got what it takes to deal with Zack Edy in the low post and I really don’t know if there’s any stopping Zach Edy for this Gonzaga team not to mention the
Guard play uh from uh Purdue has improved they’ve started to make shots in the back court which is key to you know solidify and you know support what Zach Edy does inside so I think it’s a tough defensive matchup for Gonzaga here as well so I see points both ways I like
Over 154 it’s probably my favorite total here in the sweet 16 here’s another Trend that falls into the uh the Yukon Trend that we were talking about winning and covering all the time number one seeds who win in cover the F the first two games in the NC a tournament are
24-2 straight up and 20-6 against the spread in their third game of the tournament wow it’s big number Mo this is why I talked about it earlier momentum matters about not just winning but killing teams that’s how you get things rolling to get to towards that
Title not just sort of yeah we’re going to survive and you know what I mean you want to get that sort of yeah we’re rolling and we’re going to roll all the way to the tournament I think you know Purdue sort of had that chip on their
Shoulder I don’t think gager are going to be the ones good enough to knock them off maybe in the next round but I think Purdue uh move on all right on the other side will’ll wrap up we’ll uh leave you with a couple of Best Bets Cam’s uh best
