00:00Come one, come all. It's Friday. It's the early line. It's the Sports Grid Network. It's your
00:05boy DRS. It's Joe Ranieri. We've waited a long time, and I feel like, Joe, this is your team.
00:10Like, we uncovered this months ago. Like, hey, Miami of Ohio's a pretty decent team running the
00:15table. 15 wins, 16 wins, 17 wins. Ah, maybe they're going to get tripped up at some point
00:20here, but there's no way they're going to run the regular season. It's the only Division I team
00:23that's undefeated. We talked about, hey, is Nebraska going to get there? Of course they
00:26weren't going to get there. Ooh, can Arizona stay there? Nope, they couldn't stay there
00:29because elite talent plays each and every night. You're going to get knocked off somewhere,
00:32and it's hard to win every one of your games, particularly in college basketball, where
00:36home team has a major advantage there at home. You take a look at Miami, Ohio, Joe. Here
00:40we go. Unbeaten. One last game in the regular season. They're going to take on Ohio. So Miami
00:47of Ohio taking on Ohio tonight. The Bobcats are at home, but the Bobcats opened up as a
00:52getting six and a half overnight, Joe. See that graphic? It's down to five and a half. Heavy
00:56ticket count on Miami of Ohio for this game tonight, but the line is dropping a bit.
01:01159 and a half, Joe. Give you the floor. What's your spread line? Miami, Ohio versus Ohio.
01:06Well, first of all, I'm just, I'm, how is this game not primetime, ESPN, ABC? Like there
01:13is, what, what else is going on tonight that could possibly be a better story? I mean, we're
01:19talking about the single best underdog story of not just this season, maybe of the last decade
01:25here. A potential 31 and 0 finish. I mean, just unbelievable what's going on. The problem
01:33is the market has been fading Miami of Ohio now for about the last month, Donnie. There's
01:39been a lot of people looking to make money with Miami of Ohio not covering. They didn't
01:45cover last time. Don't forget, right? Toledo was a, by the hair on their chinny, chin, chin,
01:50a, a one second left layup is what did it for them. They're going to get the best from
01:56Ohio tonight. Oh, hi. This is their national championship. The Ohio Bobcats. They don't
02:01like each other as it is. This is going to be an all out war. It's must watch television.
02:06Having said that. Yeah. Miami of Ohio has knocked them all down before. I don't see any
02:12reason to doubt that they're going to win this game again here tonight.
02:16Now I can't look, go undefeated. And it's almost like, you know, I want them to go undefeated
02:21in the regular season, Joe, and win their conference tournament. So they come in with
02:24even more panache. Like, Hey, we didn't ask for anything. We didn't need a favor. We just
02:27handled our business. But part of me, Joe wants them to go undefeated and then maybe get tripped
02:31up in the Mac tournament and then have, you know, people on TV tell us like, Oh, well,
02:35that's just not good enough with that record here and who they played madness here. That's
02:38what March is made for Miami should be in regardless if they win tonight or even their college
02:43tournament. How about that coming up next week? How about VCU Dayton, Joe, the A-10 two
02:47really good basketball teams going to take flight tonight in Dayton, the favorite, the
02:51Dayton Flyers at home minus one and a half against VCU and a total of one 48 and a half
02:57Joe, A-10 action. What's your spread line tonight for this one?
03:00And this is another one of those huge rivalries, Donnie. VCU and Dayton have been going at it
03:08for a long time here in the A-10. In fact, I believe VCU, though, has won, what, nine of
03:15the last 13? They're four and one at Dayton Arena, which is where, of course, you know,
03:21they have played the first four in. They played that tournament there ahead of time.
03:26Dayton, listen, they're going to have to win some games here in the Atlantic 10 tournament
03:32one way or the other. But VCU also needs to win this game because this will mean nothing
03:40to the Atlantic 10 where, I mean, my goodness, they have done nothing but beat each other
03:44up all year long. Dayton has looked apart for stretches this year. VCU has looked apart for
03:51stretches this year. Somebody's got to win this game. But something tells me, Donnie, it's
03:56a pick them for a reason. Got to give the edge to VCU here. They have just owned Dayton
04:01recently.
04:03Set over to New Jersey tonight for some action in the Big East. That's St. John's crossing
04:07the river to take on Seton Hall. The line opened up overnight there at minus five and a half
04:11now shows at minus four and a half this morning, despite only 17% of the tickets here coming
04:16in on Seton Hall. 136 and a half is the total in this game. Joe, Big East battle St. John's
04:21and Seton Hall. What's your spread line tonight? Listen, Seton Hall, I can't imagine Seton Hall
04:28getting into the tournament, Donnie, without a win here tonight, right? They've got to be
04:34able to win against a top 25 team, right? The problem is the only teams that they have beaten
04:41inside Ken Palm's top 75 are all named Providence. That's not great. Against the league's top three
04:48teams in the Big East, Donnie, they're 0-5 and likely about to be 0-6 here. So it's unfortunate.
04:56I, you know, rooting for Seton Hall all year long there with Holloway, but you're just not
05:02going to beat the Johnnies here tonight. It's not going to happen.
05:05You know, sometimes in our early lineups here, we have some really interesting topics they
05:09have to double back on because you might be watching and passing it. Did they just say
05:12that out there? What are they talking about? Yes. An assistant coach in college basketball
05:17division one was a alleged part-time pimp who would make his rounds, but still coach basketball.
05:23And that was under wraps for quite some time. Now it's not under wraps, Joe, who would have
05:28thought we'd find out on March madness. This is the madness that we were finding out that
05:32we might have pimps in college basketball. How about that? Yeah. How did that team lose a game,
05:38Donnie? I mean, you would have thought, right? I mean, like recruiting must've been fantastic
05:44going to cows, right? I, you should have gotten every recruit that you ever wanted in that place
05:50there. But I mean, my goodness, how long was that going on before you actually got caught?
05:56Like that's my, I bet you it wasn't a week, Donnie. I bet you it wasn't a week. That's for
06:02sure.
06:03By the way, in that graphic that we just posted up there, like it almost is like, Hey, if you're
06:07watching, ah, the coach, the pin was that guy, the pimp. So that guy probably getting an
06:10unsignificant shout out right there. Like, why'd you put me on that graphic? I'm not the
06:14one pimp, but at this point right now to shame, what an interesting story that would take national
06:18precedent where it's like, okay, a team that's not going to make the tournament here. But by the way,
06:22that coach been pimping in four different States, allegedly kind of insane the way you talk about
06:26it here. Also insane when you're on the basketball court decorum is what you figure you would have.
06:32But sometimes in the heat of the moment, you lose your cool just a little bit, which means a ref
06:35gets smoked and knocked out on the court and players are suspended. Some people say, Joe,
06:39in basketball and the NBA, like, oh, they don't care about the regular season. Well,
06:42this is now the post-scene of college basketball. Apparently these ladies cared so much that they
06:47were throwing bows out there. Haymakers, Donnie. Absolute haymakers, man. I mean,
06:53thrown from all over the place. Might've been the most impressive thing about that game
06:57because the basketball certainly wasn't exciting at all, but you got to love the rival. You got to
07:02love the nature where we don't like you. You don't like us. You got to love that little old
07:08school basketball there, little street yard and, uh, you know, playground basketball. You got to
07:13love it. It just got a little bit out of hand there in that game. Yeah. Just a little bit
07:18out
07:18of hand, knockout punches here at this point. And you got to see, I don't know if they stretched the
07:22referee off at that point, but obviously going to the monitor to review everything. Yeah. Things
07:26took place, but suspensions are actually happening, but also Joe college basketball and factor this
07:32under Joe. We, why do we do this? And nobody asked for it and we don't need it. The led
07:38courts
07:38coming with mixed reviews. First of all, let's take out what the players are talking about how
07:42it looks like. How about this? Yeah. The court's kind of cool, Joe, but up, it is kind of slippery
07:47out here. What are we doing, Joe? Start here with this. If the court is slippery, what are we doing?
07:54Well, you're going to have a lot of guys slipping and falling and twisting ankles and doing all sorts
07:58of things there, Donnie. It's just a matter of time, but you know what? Get a lot of great ad
08:02dollars though. Can't you just got to make sure that, uh, you can read the floor. Uh, but yeah,
08:08it's something is terrible is going to happen here. I mean, of all the things to mess with,
08:13don't mess with the surface on a basketball court, like of all things, please. And already the players
08:19hate it, but you know what? Isn't that going to be a little blinding to at times, Donnie, as you're
08:24trying to dribble up court and, you know, getting out in transition and all of a sudden,
08:27you know, a commercial comes on and you can't see where you're running. I, I just don't get it,
08:33man. I really don't. We've been through in college basketball and the pros just like, Hey,
08:37you know, it works really good. A nice wood court out there. Great. Let's play on it. And they go,
08:40you know, it's even better. Let's put a giant basketball sticker at mid court and we all slip
08:45on it. We don't know why, but it looks good for TV. Second part of this equation, Joe. Yeah. The
08:49LED looks cool at this point, but does it like the graphic that shows a great, a gray court. There's
08:55a
08:56reason why the court isn't gray. It does not aesthetically pleasing here. And it's not fun
09:00to watch, right? NBA courts are wood. Like, Hey, look, the logos on one side here, the wood court.
09:04It's very nice and very easy to see. Why would you have a gray court, Joe, show up on your
09:09TV screen?
09:10It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't. Nobody wants that.
09:13It doesn't. Nope. And again, Donnie, there are some things that should always remain the same,
09:19right? You should never mess with the surface in anything. I mean, the NFL, they still have
09:26issues. What is it? Turf? Is it grass? Is it grass and turf? What is it? Like, just leave the
09:30basketball court alone, please. It's an LED court. So here's what's going to happen. Forget about the
09:36people like, Oh, we're going to hack into the system, put funny things on the court. Answer me
09:39this, Joe, big 12 championship game for the men's here coming down with one minute left to play.
09:44Hey, you're down three points. LEDs go out for the three point line. Yes. You just say,
09:50Oh, well, let's play this out. And we'll get the refs like in major league baseball. The
09:54umpires like, Oh, my strike zone. Yeah. That looks like a three. And that was good. You
09:57know what the worst possible time, Joe, we are going to have an outage and we're all going
10:01to laugh because and say like, why did we need this? Yep. Yeah. Well, you don't. And the answer
10:07is Donnie, we don't, but you know what? The NCAA feels like they need it because the advertising
10:12revenue is probably going to be through the roof. Once again, they're just another avenue
10:17to make money. Miami, Ohio versus Ohio tonight. And if you're not paying attention, you should
10:24be ESPN to tonight, national stage. Why is it important? A perfect regular season is
10:29in the balance. And the one thing that we do like Joe and can appreciate it sometimes as
10:33well, they didn't knock off Gonzaga early or Gonzaga early in the year. Uh, they didn't
10:37beat Duke early in the year. They'd have a Michigan win. But the fact of the matter is it's
10:41also not like Joe, they went through their entire schedule, beating everybody by 25 points
10:45and nobody can touch them. This team is battle tested. They've been in the final minutes
10:48of game down points and had to come back and win games in overtime, multiple times
10:52here. So it'll be fun to watch, but that game board, once again, for Miami, Ohio, they're
10:56the favorite site against Ohio. You know, Ohio would love nothing more than put a blemish
11:01on that record as they head into their conference tournament here tonight, Joe. So favored by a handful
11:05of points, let's call it Miami, Ohio is on the road. What is your confidence level
11:10tonight that at the end of the night, we'll be like, damn, they did go undefeated.
11:14Well, I mean, let's start with what they did back on February 13th, right? Where they took
11:21on the Ohio at home and promptly smacked them, uh, and won that game, Donnie, 90 to 74.
11:30Right. So we've already kind of seen this and what this looks like. And in that game, Donnie,
11:35wouldn't, you know, they went nine of 18 from three point range here. That's the big difference
11:41between these two teams. Number one, you got Miami of Ohio's offense has done great on the
11:47road all season. You know, they're 14th in the country in points per possession on the road,
11:53Donnie. And they shoot about 38% from three on the road, which puts them 27th best in the
12:01country. So Ohio is about the interior is about the paint. They don't shoot the three very well.
12:08They don't defend the three very well. And three being more than two, Donnie tells you everything
12:14you need to know about the math in this game. Listen, Miami, as long as the nerves don't get
12:18to them, they should have no problem beating the Ohio Bobcats here tonight and covering.
12:24But again, you're going to get the best effort here from this Ohio Bobcats team. This
12:30is their national championship game tonight. Since 2000, Joe, we got a graphic here teams to
12:36start 30 and oh, or better Miami of Ohio, obviously doing it this year here, taking a look at Gonzaga
12:412021 here. 31 and one is where they finished lost in the national championship game, Kentucky in 14,
12:4715, 38 and one, they lost in the final four. And then that Wichita state team, which came out of
12:51nowhere, which was absolutely fantastic. 35 and one, they lost in the round of 32. I believe
12:56that game was to Kentucky back then, but also looking at these games coming up, Joe,
13:01you got to get through that conference tournament. You got to get into March madness, but man,
13:05you can just stamp it, man. I, we went undefeated in the regular season, hang that banner.
13:11Well, but remember too, I mean, I think there's seven undefeated teams, right? In the regular season,
13:17every one of those undefeated teams, Donnie, you know what they did? They made it to the NCAA
13:22tournament, right? We're here. We're talking about a 30 and oh team, possibly 31 and oh,
13:28and we're saying not enough. They got to go ahead and win their tournament in order to be able to
13:33get
13:33it. That's how ridiculous this is with Miami of Ohio and Bruce Pearl and others. Nobody wants to watch
13:41a 500 TCU or Auburn team. I'd much rather watch the team that goes 30 and one, they're even 31,
13:49even if they lose tonight or 31 and oh, Donnie, I don't care what they do in the MAAC championship.
13:55In New Jersey tonight, St. John's coming over to take on Seton Hall. This is an interesting
14:00matchup where you see the lines here right on St. John's. It's called minus four and a half points,
14:03but understand this. There's 11 teams in the big East. 10th in efficiency on offense
14:07is Seton Hall. Number one in efficiency on defense here is St. John's. Where are the points coming from
14:12is the question tonight for Seton Hall, but also more importantly, can they get inside that spread number?
14:17Again, we saw this game, right? Once before and Seton Hall kicking themselves because they had a
14:2315 point second half lead against the Johnnies and ended up losing by five in that game. It's all about
14:31the physical play, right? That's all it is. But, you know, the Johnnies don't get pushed around
14:36all that much there. And, you know, they gave up 18 offensive rebounds to Seton Hall. The Johnnies did
14:43in that game. Patino is going to have these guys ready. Patino does not want to lose to Seton Hall.
14:49Doesn't care about the feel good story, how great it would be. It's all going to be about rebounding
14:54in this game. If the Johnnies keep Seton Hall off the boards, they're going to cover this number
14:59and likely win by double digits. If not, well, it could be a sweat job here for, uh, for Patino
15:05and
15:06the boys. Let's get to the Fade to Public poll here, Joe, and have some fun with this. Bring it
15:10up, people. Let's go. Hmm. Which I think waiting, Joe. That was a pretty good slip right there. I like
15:19that. That could be edited in that way. That's actually perfect the way it is. But our Fade to
15:26Public poll deals with Miami of Ohio. Before I get to the question itself, Joe, let me ask you this.
15:30Let's take the equation of the MAAC tournament out next week, right? Let's leave that alone.
15:34If Miami of Ohio loses tonight, do they deserve to be kicked out of their at-large bid status?
15:40Yeah, no, no, no. I think, I think the, the conversation to me is, is moot. The minute
15:45you get to 30 and O, Donnie, it's what are we doing here? Because the alternative is then
15:51what? A 500 TCU? Like I would much rather see Miami of Ohio in. Absolutely.
15:59Question was asked to the people today. Will Miami of Ohio finish off the MAAC regular season
16:03undefeated, Joe. Yes, no, and Bobcats plus 195. Wouldn't no be Bobcats really plus 195
16:10then? Correct? Come on now. That would, yes, but no. Miami of Ohio wins tonight and fish is
16:19there, but it would be, I mean, Ohio's money line is not a, again, you got a lot of guys
16:25looking at the market right now. A lot of guys looking to fade Miami of Ohio again tonight,
16:29but I don't see it, Donnie. I do not see it happening. But yeah, like it would be, it should
16:34be like, yes, but then there's no, no. Just put Bobcats plus 195, right? Wouldn't that have been
16:39the same response? We should have delayed it out. So I guess we can have seven.
16:46Yeah, probably two. Well, you get more people selections, Donnie. You know what happens?
16:50The more is not bad. I mean, yes, more is my, I mean, guys are, guys are running around North
16:54Jersey at 2 a.m. right now trying to make up these sports grid highlights right here. So
16:58that's what you get sometimes with the, Hey, we got best bets on the way. People fire it up for
17:03some bye, bye, bye. Come on, Joe. It's Friday. It's payday. Give the people what they need.
17:15Yeah. By the way, if your answer was no to that, you should only play it on the money line.
17:19By the way, tonight, another game I don't understand here in the summit league,
17:25Denver and North Dakota. They've played twice this season and both games. We got the witness
17:33zero defense. In fact, 179 points in the first one, just about that in the second one. These are
17:40the two worst defenses in the summit league. I got no problem going over the 160 and a half in
17:48this
17:49one, Donnie. I don't understand the under money. It's over for me.
17:53Prediction markets edge right here on the early line, a Friday edition, basketball, basketball,
17:58and more basketball coming your way on this point. Sonny writes that in show. We're near
18:02Joe feeling good about this show a big weekend ahead, which includes Sunday daylight savings.
18:07But before we get there, we got a lot of basketball action to talk about and I'm ready to go.
18:11How about you? I am ready, Donnie. We got a lot happening over the next four to five weeks. So
18:17I
18:17am looking very forward to it, including what's going to happen here in the World Baseball Classic.
18:24How about this, Joe? Let's start in college basketball, taking center stage tonight at 9 p.m.
18:30from Athens, Ohio. It's Miami, Ohio, taking on the Ohio Bobcats. Why is this important? Well,
18:35supremacy is on the line for being unbeaten in the regular season, something we don't see quite a bit
18:39here since 2000. Only a few teams have done it. Miami looking to close the deal for them to win
18:44tonight outright, Joe, on the Kelsey marketplace. They're now currently trading at a 69% chance.
18:49If they win by five and a half points, it's a 51% chance. But the question on everybody's mind,
18:54Joe, is will Miami, Ohio be unbeaten? And can they win this basketball game? They're favored to do that.
19:01Yes, they are. And I think they absolutely win. I mean, I think currently you're looking at probably
19:06minus 240, 245 in books around all over the place. I think you're right around that price here
19:15with the prediction markets as well. So if you think Miami of Ohio gets it done, then do it.
19:20By the way, I'm not opposed to laying the points in this one either here, Donnie.
19:26Should be a fun one to watch. Again, national stage 9 p.m. on ESPN2. You can watch that play
19:31out
19:31and also understand this as we talked about an hour number one. It's been a little bit of a bumpy
19:34ride for Miami of Ohio. So the expectation for them showing up tonight, just blowing the doors
19:38off Ohio. Could it be? Maybe. But the expectations are this game is going to come down to the final
19:43few minutes and a lot of people watching and seeing if they can be undefeated. Because if they are,
19:47I think that stamps that ticket here into March Madness with an at-large bid, regardless,
19:52Joe, of what happens in the MAAC tournament, which will take place next week. Let's keep it in the
19:568-10 in college basketball today. Another big game on a Friday night, which you love to see. It's VCU
20:00taking on Dayton. This game going to be played in Dayton. And Dayton is currently trading at a 53%
20:06chance to win this game. VCU the dog trading at 47%. If we're looking at a point spread tonight here
20:12on the Kelsey Marketplace, Dayton by minus 2.5 points is trading at 45%. So $100 investment for
20:19them to win by three points, Joe. That will pay back $223. VCU Dayton tonight. Good one in the 8
20:26-10.
20:27It's a great one, Donnie. And it's one of those situations where, listen, these are two rivals.
20:32But VCU, certainly in this building, has kind of dominated the Flyers over the last four to five.
20:39So I think four and one now is what they are on the road in this building. And Styles make
20:44fights
20:45right now. And VCU shoots the three very well. Dayton doesn't defend it very well. Also, Dayton gets a lot
20:52of their points in transition off of turnovers. The problem is VCU doesn't turn the ball over all
20:58that much. So it's not a great matchup, even though it's at home for Dayton. I think VCU here is
21:04looking at a nice little bit of a dog here. But I do think they have some value in this
21:10one.
21:11Could come down the free throw shooting and understand this, Joe. Dayton, number one in
21:14conference play getting to the free throw line. Do you know where VCU is? They're actually number two.
21:18And you take a look at them making the free throws. Number one in conference play. Dayton,
21:2277.5% as a team from the free throw line. It could come down to the charity stripe tonight.
21:28In New Jersey, Joe, we'll keep it in college basketball. St. John's of the Big East,
21:32taking on Seton Hall of the Big East. Seton Hall needs this victory here. St. John's,
21:36as we know, is the better team. And on the Couchie marketplace here, St. John's trading at a 63%
21:41chance to win this game, 37% chance here for Seton Hall. If we look at the total in this
21:46game
21:47on the side, St. John to win this game by four and a half points, that's currently trading at 47
21:51%
21:51as a chance and over 137.5%. That's trading at 48%. Big East basketball in New Jersey from the
21:58Rock tonight. So listen, the problem with Seton Hall is they can't score, Donnie. They have no
22:04offense, right? They were leading the first go around against the Johnnies by 15 in the second
22:10half and ended up losing by five. But I'll tell you this, nobody has been better as a dog against
22:17the number this year than Holloway and Seton Hall. In fact, Seton Hall is nine and one against the
22:22number this season as a dog here. This feels like it's going to be just an absolute bar brawl here.
22:31They're going to go at one another. I don't know if we're getting a whole lot of points in this
22:36one.
22:36It feels like maybe the first one is 65-70 wins, but it's not like the Johnnies aren't playing for
22:43the number one seed in the Big East tournament either. So they can ill afford to lose this game
22:48with UConn right behind them. As Joe points out, offense tough to come by for Seton Hall. There's
22:5411 teams in the Big East. Effective field goal percentage here for Seton Hall, 11th in conference
22:59play. Turnover percentage on offense, 10th out of 11th. Shooting the three-point shot, dead last in
23:05conference play. How about inside the arc, Joe? Dead last in conference play. We'll see if the
23:09Johnnies can turn it up. Oh, no, yeah. Did we tell you that St. John's has the most efficient
23:12defense in conference play? Good luck, Seton Hall. We'll see what happens tonight in that game. And
23:16by the way, Joe, quick question for you. That game starts at nine o'clock. Miami of Ohio starts at
23:21nine
23:21o'clock. Who gets the better ratings tonight? Yeah, well, I mean, Miami of Ohio should absolutely be.
23:28Well, it depends. Do you like offense? If you like offense, watch Miami of Ohio. If you like,
23:33you know, missed shots, air balls, guys battling under, it's going to be a defensive battle there
23:40with the Johnnies in Seton Hall. Fox Sports 1 is going to handle that St. John's Seton Hall game,
23:45then Miami of Ohio versus Ohio. That's going to be on ESPN2, both of them at nine o'clock.
23:49Right back at it, Prediction Markets Edge on the early line Friday morning edition. So much good
23:54stuff to go over. Donnie Wright's side along with Joe Ranieri. And one of those things that we love to
23:58talk about here, Miami of Ohio's undefeated season tonight. It's on the line. Final game of the
24:05regular season, Joe. They made it all the way through to the final night, 9 p.m. start on ESPN2.
24:12You know what's trading at right now to be undefeated, Joe? 70% in the marketplace. A $100
24:17investment on them getting it done pays back $137. Why? They are the favorite tonight, Joe. The simple
24:23question for the people out there, which includes yourself. Do they get it done tonight?
24:28Yeah. I mean, listen, it's it. This is a great market, Donnie, simply because you're not going
24:34to have to tie up a whole lot of money very long. Right. I can tell you this. They haven't
24:39lost a
24:39game all year. They're playing with more confidence than any team I have seen in a very long time.
24:45They're also 7-0 in one possession games this year. They've already beaten Ohio. Ohio doesn't shoot
24:52the three well, and they don't protect the perimeter well, which is not a good style here
24:59in order to beat Miami of Ohio. I'm sorry. I mean, you're going to you're looking at roughly paying
25:04what? 74 cents on a dollar for a team that has won 30 in a row and matches up great
25:10here. I'll take
25:11it all day long for a couple of hours, Donnie. And by the way, if you're looking at like that
25:16graph
25:16going through, go back to January the 31st slash February 1st here. They were trading at 10% to have
25:22an unbeaten season at Selly Road. And you see those little craters going back and forth and
25:26where they come because February 27th, they were dropped down to 49% at around 6 PM. So maybe some
25:33money coming in, some games getting completed, not having hot starts to start and away they go.
25:37But Miami has a chance to be undefeated in the regular season with a victory tonight over the
25:41Ohio Bobcats. We'll see if they get there. Women's college basketball champion, UConn.
25:46No surprise, Joe trading right now in the Cal State marketplace at 66% live to get that done.
25:54UCLA, South Carolina, Texas, and LSU. Understand this too. The women's tournament, just like the
25:59men's, it only takes one bad game to get knocked out. The question is, is UConn going to have a
26:03bad
26:03game? Talking about undefeated seasons, UConn putting it up now. Yeah, it very odd. Much like Miami of
26:10Ohio, Donnie, it very hard to bet against a superior team with more experienced head coach
26:18than you will ever find. They have been there. They've done this. UConn women's basketball expects
26:24to win and they are playing at a ridiculous level this year. I think it's UConn and everyone else and
26:31it is theirs to lose. So there you go. I mean, yes, there's a lot of variance, but no way
26:37would
26:37I be looking to fade UConn in this market. You want to go against the grain. You take out the
26:42no contract, Joe trading at 33 cents right now. A hundred dollar investment pays back $304, which
26:49means you're going to have six to seven chances there to knock UConn out. The only question is
26:52they've been throwing haymakers all season long, but as we said, it only takes one game. UCLA's got
26:57a good ball club out there running, I think, undefeated in their regular season throughout the
27:01big 10. And then South Carolina, always going to be there with Dawn Staley and the crew trading
27:04at 10, excuse me, 10% right now. Women's tournament on deck next. They're going through their conference
27:09tournaments this week, same as the men's next week. And away we go into March madness.
