[Applause] [Applause] Hey you know what we say all the time is no bad beats what we want is nothing unexpected to happen so last night we had some things go our way and some things did not we hit all the big games we hit Yukon we hit Kentucky did very

Well in those matchups here but had some struggles the Ruckers one really hurt because of course we lost Gary in the the late in the second half and then we go to overtime but we’ve had games that have won we covered against Florida Atlantic with UAB on Sunday with a

Three-pointer at the buzzer so it goes both ways and that’s why we come back here folks of course as always Mike Randall thanks for joining me here here we go they’re flying yeah Trevor you got it though you got it man I mean how many times has it gone the other way goes

Some ways goes other ways you know sometimes we get it sometimes we don’t I mean that’s just the way it is you know there’s so many different ways you can sum it up but it was a win a win is a win and it was a great job and a great

Call by you excellent it was yuck it was what it was Kobe but we move on and we come back today on Thursday which is we’re excited about guys as always please make sure that you’re joining us here because there’s so many Fantastic things coming up you know our

Some comments about how they want the games presented so I’m going to do that here we go without further Ado let’s get to the games for today Milwaukee at Northern Kentucky Northern Kentucky folks was supposed to be the best team in the Horizon and Northern Kentucky has

Hit the skids and had some really big struggles and all of this has been centered around the fact that their second leing scor Sam Vincent is gone for the year with a torn ACL so what we’ve seen with Northern Kentucky is trying to figure out exactly how to

Adjust after losing Vincent but what while their record has not been good what you do like about Northern Kentucky is they’ve actually really still been able to compete which is what I really like about them here in their last few games they went to Cleveland stayed away

And they lost in overtime 88885 they went away to Oakland and lost 7065 and they came home then they went away for their third straight game and they beat Detroit Mercy you’re gonna say Detroit Mercy isn’t very good but Jaden Stone is back okay and Jaden Stone made a big

Contribution and played very well they lost in two overtimes last night to Robert moris so we’re going back with Northern Kentucky laying a point and a half this is our pick we put this on the action app I put this in the article here for FTM bets I think Northern

Kentucky is going to get it right they are four and three here in the Horizon you know Darren horn does a great job I think they find a way to get this done next one we’re going Vermont minus six and a half against Bingington Vermont has not been fantastic this year and

There are some questions on whether they’re totally healthy they were healthy but coming into this game we had a late comment that came out from Rothstein of course that he’s unsure if Shamir bogs who has not played now for several games he is questionable tonight but I do think this Vermont team with

John Becker John Becker is one of the few coaches I love to bet on because I find him to be consistent they are starting to turn a corner they beat NJIT by 21 points at home now they’re going away to Binghamton Bingington is not good this team is great on offense they

Don’t turn the ball over in Vermont and maybe we get lucky and we get Bogues to come back here so I’m laying the six and a half again winning on the road very difficult right now but I’m laying it why because it’s John Becker why because it’s Vermont and why because it’s

Bingington that’s pretty much it I’ll take the 11 and a half with Minnesota Minnesota is now on fraud alert that’s the question are they good are they not good Minnesota started off pretty well with has lost two straight games to Indiana and Iowa the problem is I don’t trust Michigan State’s consistency

Michigan state has been good and then they’ve been bad they go away to Northwestern they look terrible they go away to Illinois they end up losing that game they come home to Ruckers Ruckers is a nemic on offense and they end up winning that game comfortably but now

They’re playing a Minnesota team that’s good on offense that’s good inside the arc that’s good on defense inside the arc as well now you could torch them a little bit from three-point range but I think Minnesota’s going to be able to Rebound with Michigan State I think it’s

Too many points Michigan State very hard to read right now their metrics look great they’re kind of like kraton in some ways they look great but they’re not really playing well I’m taking Minnesota plus 11 and a half winr claims they have a way to stop drew p i want to

See it tonight because we’ve been riding a cash cow with Asheville all the way to the window throughout this entire season after the rough start so I have no reason to get off now and I’m going to continue UNC Asheville has won three of their last four the one game that they

Lost which was away at a good high point team they actually covered by a half point they’re coming off a home win to Longwood they have Radford on the way they go away here to winthrip winthrip has won five straight games went them not great on offense went through not

Great they can turn the ball over these have been really good battles in the past but I like what Mike Morel is doing I like what Drew P’s doing they have played very tough teams they went away to UAB and they covered they played USC Upstate home and they blew him out as

They should they play Presbyterian way they found a way to win on the road which isn’t easy they go to High Point they cover they go to Longwood they play Longwood at home they beat a good long with Team this Asheville team is too hot to give three and a half points I’m

Taking it Elon stinks UNCC Wilmington is fantastic I get it guys if you don’t like it because you’re laying seven and a half points on the road in college basketball in 2024 which is certainly hard to do I just think Wilmington’s really good this reminds me of the game

Last night that we saw on Wednesday uh which started off right away we weren’t sure how it was going to go but Ferman went out and just absolutely demolished VMI 100 to 60 now I don’t think it’s going to be that big but UNCC Wilmington is the clear better team here in my

Opinion so I think they get this done Elon is just not very good so I’m going to lay the points and take the risk here with Elon Charleston is rounding in form they’ve been fantastic they are really difficult they’re scoring now beginning of the year remember in Charleston they

Couldn’t make three-pointers that was their problem well they’ve been able to get the three-pointer down because they’re shooting 35.8% in CAA play that is second best in the CA and their offense is 58.8% from inside the arc that is best in CAA so a Charleston team that wasn’t shooting

Well and wasn’t scoring well early has has now all of a sudden rattled off nine straight wins that’s the seventh active longest winning streak in the nation for the Charleston cougars they’re rolling they’re 4-0 Talsen at home they have Wilmington away on the horizon I just think this Talsen offense is broken

Really struggling 62% of the free throw line I’m GNA lay the points here uh with Charleston next up I’m laying it with W State Green Bay has been really hot excellent job by Green Bay this year they’re playing very very well but they when you play right stay at home you

Better be ready to score because that’s what you’re going to need Dan’s Wicks has been fantastic for Green Bay who is six and two so right state is not going to look past them but right State under Scott naggie at home here are their home games 82 points in a win over Cleveland

State 101 points 92 points 81 points they are rolling even Western Kentucky who’s really good they hung 84 on so they’re going to score Green Bay wants to keep the pace slow they’re not going to be able to keep it slow here 351st in the country Green Bay and Pace not going

To be able to keep it going I am going with right State here minus 9 and a half at home Kennesaw State’s just at a different level and again this is a road game and I get nervous about it but I think Kennesaw State is rounding into form in

The Atlantic Sun they beat Queens they beat Stetson they beat Florida G Coast now they’re going away to North Florida uh your Kennesaw State owls are the fastest team in college basketball per adjusted Pace no one is faster than kennes saw State they are now playing North Florida who’s won their last two

Games but they’re playing a different level of opponent in Kennesaw State you want to be Florida G Coast away you want to be Jacksonville that’s fine you’re coming home now and you’re going to get pressed you’re going to get up and down the floor they’re going to get turnovers

You’re terrible on the boards in North Florida uh they rely heavily on the three-pointers the three-pointers got to go down I think kennes State’s going to be able to D them up north Florida would need to really hit a ton of Threes here which we’ve seen happen we got Bernard

Forom going to GDB when they made 19 threes but I’m gonna take a risk here because I think kennes state is playing their best basketball of the Year under Antoine pedway who just took over this program I have no idea why nor Eastern is favorite on the road nor Eastern has

Not impressed me at all uh they can have games where they get do okay because Bill Cohen is a decent coach he’s been a veteran he’s around for a while uh but I have no idea why they’re favored by seven I grabbed this one here it’s maybe

Down to six and a half right now they’re going on the road away to North Carolina A&T North Carolina A&T their home games they lost to a good Drexel team by four they beat Campbell at home by 14 uh so they’ve battled teams whenever they’ve

Been home I don’t see why it’s seven I’m fine with the money line here I don’t trust nor Eastern if you just want to look at the metrics that’s fine but Bill Cohen’s team has not been good on defense not good at defending the three

Don’t buy it here on the road by seven Northeastern why tell me why just don’t get on that one I’ll take South Florida and the reason I’m taking South Florida at Memphis is because I am I have been very impressed with how South Florida has played recently under Amir Abdul

Rahee Amir Abdul Raheem came over to this program after doing a spectacular job with Kenna State they were 26 and N last year remember they beat Liberty they were in the tournament they did a a great job took him a while to get his style and get acclimated here to the AAC

But you’re looking at a team that is number one in the AAC in offensive turnovers they don’t turn the ball over they are number two in the AC in defensive rebounding they’re strong on the boards they’re coming off a home win over rice they played UAB tough away and

Outside of that they have won seven of their last eight games South is playing their best basketball of the entire year and they are going on the road here against Memphis who’s 15-2 4-0 but this is going to be a close battle I don’t think Memphis blows them out here

They’re coming up a huge wi over witch state where they dropped 112 points that’s because witch State stinks I am taking South Florida plus 11 and a half not laying three and a half points at Maine on the road I’m not a UA UB UNBC guy and I don’t think they’re very good

But Maine is not at the point where they’re laying points three and a half on the road they’ve lost five straight games Maine UCF FIU Minnesota Vermont New Hampshire the home loss to New Hampshire was bad that we got that cover they were up big and New Hampshire came

All the way back on them now they’re going away to UNBC UNBC was pretty good against um low only lost by four UNBC was pretty good against verbon on the road only lost by five UNBC has actually been playing better basketball and at home they’re fast they play the third

Fastest Pace in the entire country three and a half at home Maine covering three and a half on the road really we’re at that point last year maybe and they were much last year they were this year not taking it uh this is tonight’s Mother of

God game last night was Houston we got that one right first half and the full game cover wit state is terrible they’re just not good they’re not competitive they turn the ball over they go through spurts where offens is is terrible FAU as you know I have trouble with their

Defense the problem is witch State’s not going to be able to score enough to keep this game close so witch state has L five straight games Kansas State on neutral Kansas north Texas temple which was awful by Seven Memphis they gave up 112 you give 112 points at home to

Memphis what are you going to do here uh against Florida Atlantic that’s what I’d like to know Florida Atlantic did beat UAB had 86 they had tany at 85 they’re going to score a ton of points I got it 14 and a half it’s going to 155 half I

Would grab it quickly because I think this is a blowout spot tonight did you know that Illinois under Brad Underwood is three and0 in their last three trips to Michigan did you know Brad Underwood also 3-0 against the spread against Michigan Brad Underwood does well against Michigan and this team has been

Playing well so I like them tonight going on the road against Michigan I’m not been a Michigan guy all year long they’re seven and 10 Michigan is struggled they’ve not done well against Illinois they did beat Ohio State but let’s look at that Michigan game against

Ohio State guys they shot 12 of 23 from three-point range Michigan and Ohio State shot three of 25 so Ohio State shoots three of 25 and they’re still almost in the game till about the last minute and then they gave up Illinois can score it Illinois is playing well

They came off a rough loss Illinois to Maryland here but they competed well at Purdue on the road they beat Michigan State at home they beat Northwestern at home they’re playing well Underwood greater than Joan Howard Illinois plays well at Michigan enough with Michigan laying the points this one’s gone the O

Other way the only concern here Old Dominion struggling with of course the head coach ala the rest of the season with the health issues the heart attack we pray for Jeff Jones hopefully he’s okay Old Dominion had a lot of High Hopes in the Sun Belt this year they

Have lost six straight games they’re 4 and 13 0 and5 there’s always a chance that they rally at some point they’re going to rally and beat someone but Coastal Carolina they were up they lost that game away Georgia State we got the miracle cover away I guess they’re back

Home so I guess you could argue that this is their spot but on the other side is Marshall with Dan de and Tony who’s a really good coach this is a marshall team that was 4-0 coming off their first lost in conference to South Alabama uh at home to South Alabama I’m taking

Marshall plus the one and a half I know Old Dominion is going to get it right at some point I know Old Dominion has a lot of talent they’re going to circle the wagons a little bit I just don’t think it’s tonight before I get to the most

Obvious pick on the Slate let’s get to your questions and comments here uh Illinois Chicago lines telling me to bet Michigan Trevor I’m telling you to bet Illinois do with that as you may South Florida plus 11 sprinkle money line totally fine with that as well yeah

Trevor I think it’s a big game tonight for FAU uh luron I appreciate it man luron like we said volume and accuracy you don’t have to bet all the plays you come to the show with some plays in your mind when you come with those hopefully

We agree we get to the window and do well so thank you so much for watching we appreciate it I mean I’ll start with the counter argument it’s South Alabama and Troy so it’s a state rivalry South Alabama coming off a Big Win here against Marshall South Alabama played App State

At home lost in overtime South Alabama played Georgia State at home lost by 14 bad loss South Alabama wins at Marshall last year South Alabama played Troy they won at home 77 to 60 year before they played Troy at home won 8263 year before that beat Troy home

7370 Here’s my thought first off your Troy Trojans are the second best team in all of college basketball against the spread second we’ve made a lot of money off of Scott cross and Scott cross covers we’re going back to it tonight I think the mismatch that Troy can go

After here is on the boards they are great on the boards and South Alabama is not they also shoot well from three-point range I firmly am ready for Troy to regress it’s going to happen I’m just going to ride with it again tonight the line has moved against us if you

Don’t like it I have no problem with it it was Troy minus one and a half now it’s Troy plus one and a half I get it sometimes the line moves for us sometimes it doesn’t I trust Troy they’ve been doing well sunbell conference they’re Five-0 and news flash

Did you know that Troy this year does not play James Madison so Scott cross is telling this this Troy team you can win the Sun Belt regular season right now they are Five-0 they are half game ahead of App State who they beat they’re uh

One and a half games ahead of Marshall I get it South Alabama two and three in conference playing well but to me Scott cross covers we’re not giving up on him not yet Middle Tennessee state is a shell of the team that they used to be

We’re going with UTEP at home here this is a big number so people are going to be hesitant to lay this especially UTEP who lost away to FIU especially UTEP who woned home against Chicago State it’s just that Middle Tennessee state has not been a good team this year and they’re

Particularly not good away from home they went away to Murray State they lost by 20 they went away to St Mary’s they almost lost by 40 normally Middle Tennessee under Nick mcdevit and before that Kermit Davis they’re normally very good at home they haven’t been this year

This is not the same blue Raider team that has existed in the past they’re shooting only 64% from the free throw line they’re shooting only 26% from three-point range can’t make free throws can’t make threes defensive metrics aren’t great now you’re going on the road to UTEP UTEP is o two in Conference

USA Joe Golding does a great job on defense they’re number four in the country at forcing turnovers they’re going to force turnovers tonight and they are going to win this game so I’m laying the points there Utah is significantly better than Oregon State there are very few things in life that

Are harder than to do this double trip where you go out to Utah and then you go to Colorado Pack 12 We’re not gonna have to see this much longer but the Pack 12 tonight Utah is coming off a loss to Stanford away that’s a good Stanford

Team at home a spoiler alert Utah is three and three in the Pack 12 under Craig Smith but this is a very good team a team that beat BYU at home a team that went away and they struggled against Arizona State and struggled against Arizona but they hosted UCLA at home and

What did they do 90 to 44 they shoot the three well they have the bigs inside Brandon Carlson is fantastic Oregon state is not ready for this Oregon State went to away to Washington State and lost they went away to Washington and lost this is only their third true Road

Game of the year they have lost the prior two they are one and four under Wayne tinkle sometimes when you take this Utah Colorado trip the first game is really horrific and then the second game you end up doing better I’m taking Utah and laying the 15 points here only

A couple games left Cal has been really hot I like Cal you know I backed them a lot maybe too much this year but I like what Mark Madson does in their last three games UCLA away a victory Colorado Home Big Win by four Oregon away tough Oregon team lost by seven they’re

Playing well don’t be deceived by their their record which is 6 and 11 two- four I think they get this win tonight against Washington did you know that Oregon since joining the Pack 12 with Dana Alman has only won one game I think they’re like one and 10 at Colorado

Oregon cannot win at Colorado they’ve won one time and they’ve struggled Colorado ready for this game always tough at home I think Colorado this year is a perfect 10 and0 at home I believe yes I think they’re 10 and0 at home they’re coming off the home win over USC

They had three losses before that Arizona Arizona State and California but you know this team has a lot of talent because you saw them on a neutral Take Miami and absolutely destroy them by 27 they shoot well from three they are finally healthy they have players out of

The lineup but they’re back to full health here D Silva lampin inside has been great Cody Williams The Freshman is outstanding KJ Simpson there as well Oregon at some point you can argue is eventually going to to break the streak and do well consistently at Colorado but

They’ve only won one time I think it was two years ago this is a death sentence for them to go to Colorado I am laying the points here with Colorado Stanford has been really tough at home I’m going to lay the three points against Washington state Washington state is

Very well coached by Kyle Smith one of the most underrated coaches in the country but staford at home has beat Utah staford at home has beat Arizona they hung a 100 in Arizona they can score they’re long they shoot threes they’re great inside the arc I’ll take

Stanford and lay the points here and the final one you knew this one was coming death taxes and faden LMU Loyola marmount did not play at San Francisco last year but the last time that these two teams played let me pull it up here for you doing the research I on the road

Still loyal am marmount very shaky uh San Francisco is a sleeper if you want to look at WCC Futures how about San Francisco to win the West Coast Conference they are three and 0 they demolished Portland at home hung 96 they won a we of Pacific they beat San

Diego they’re three and0 now they do have St Mary’s and Gonzaga coming up I get that but the problem is lyola marmount on their true Road games this year they’ve played one they played one true Road game and that was at Nevada and they lost 7359 so this is only their

Second true Road Game of the Year don’t like it uh they’re coming off a win over Pacific congratulations but still no justice Hill so they’re still short-handed and they’re going against a San Francisco team that is great on defense statistically and great on offense top 10 in the country at

Interior offense and by the way San Francisco of course disciplined makes their free throws those are the games for tonight let’s get your questions in here in case I missed one uh I love fading uh LMU yeah Nathan I’m fading them as well uh and and high on them as

Well yeah I’m not sure about that yeah but LMU I’m fading of course uh let’s see and I think that’s it I am take yeah I think we’re good to go I don’t see anything else uh I like back in San Francisco at home down on the road right

Exactly Trevor they’re much better at home I think they are I agree with you as well so there you go folks we will be backer on Saturday Saturday morning 10:30 massive slate let’s keep it going we hit the big games last night let’s get a nice 65% night what do you think

Volume Plus accuracy that’s what we’re looking to go for here hit like subscribe do all that fun stuff we’ll be back on Saturday morning 10:30 as always get those lines in and we’ll sit back and enjoy a good day as always folks Mike Randall ftn get to the say it with

Me window Scott cross covers
