 Hey everybody what's going on? I am Greg Sussman today joined by Davis Matic of Sports Grid coming off a JT victory This past weekend, but you sort of look at the PGA tour. We're taking a look at some March Madness We're giving us we're giving out our three I was a best bet but most interesting bets to win the whole thing. Let's go on Davis Not a not a ton going on getting very excited for March Madness. Obviously. We we didn't get it last year this year I will be on in-game live on Sports Grid TV sweating out the games I put in a nine-game parlay of all of the nine games that are going on when I'm on air on Friday So I am I am ready to sweat March Madness the way it was intended to be sweated That is fantastic. I am pumped for in-game live all weekend long on Sports Grid with March Madness But let's get into a team that you're gonna root to win this whole thing and again We're not talking about taking Illinois. You're taking Gonzaga We begin with a two-seed but not the two-seed you're probably thinking of Davis Your first bet is with Houston Kelvin Sampson squad Doesn't exactly have the toughest region to get through but nobody likes Houston because well They're not in a power five conference. They haven't played the schedule But since Kelvin Sampson's taken over this program, they've been really good and again this path seems doable Yeah, it definitely does seem doable and I guess I should make it clear I definitely am not approaching college basketball as someone who is You know, I'm not I'm not scouting Houston's like bench guys and how they're gonna come out and play I'm really looking at the efficiency numbers on Ken Palm and just kind of how these teams are getting treated by the market and Houston does look like the big value in terms of a team that can theoretically win as a one or a two-seed and Meets a lot of the criteria as previous winners of the NCAA tournament They are the eighth best offense in the country if you adjust for efficiency And it's pretty easy to see why they hoist up a ton of three pointers They shoot twenty six point two three pointers per game Obviously that was the best in their collegiate conference and they're decent at shooting them as well shooting 35% as a team Quentin Grimes Marcus Sasser and Cameron Tyson are their their three sharp shooters Grimes and Tyson both Shoot over 40% from three and yeah, I mean a team that launches a bunch of threes They have a good core. They have a good head coach and there there are two seed and number six in Ken Palm's efficiency rankings I think 21 to one is a pretty solid price on them I'm with you 21 to one on a number two seed that you're not getting that anywhere else It's all the value here with Houston who again, they've been good for a few years now I know maybe that was exciting as they were last year before everything shut down But Houston they got a shot at getting the final four and most people are not going to be in on this at plus 2121 a band of sportsbook. It's tough to ignore One player who is tough to ignore is Kate Cunningham Likely number one overall selection in the NBA draft the best collegiate player coming out this year Maybe not overall you do have Luca Garza, but Oklahoma State is 35 to 1 And I feel like a lot of us were going to be on okay state because of Cunningham because of how well Oklahoma State was playing going in the tournament until you saw their draw their number four seed They probably should have been a three and they're in this brutal brutal region You're facing Liberty first who play a Virginia style defense Then you have to face potentially Tennessee and then Illinois who many people believe but the best team outside of Gonzaga in this Tournament with Kobe Coburn and I don't assume. Oh, this is not an easy path for okay state yet. You're still going to take a shot on them Yeah, I am still taking a stab at Oklahoma State I I in my my bracket that I'm doing yeah the a bunch of my bracket competitions I I'm choosing Oklahoma State to go to the final four and a lot of them kind of them as my kind of differential pick And it really is pretty simple They have beaten Baylor recently and then they went on a run where they beat Texas Texas tech swept Oklahoma And then got two wins over West Virginia basically they played very poorly for half the season and then kind of change things up Which by the way seen with a lot of college basketball teams, you know They're just with so much going on with you know COVID and injuries and missing test against the weirdest college basketball season ever like can you ever remember a season where Duke North Carolina and Kentucky were all bad at once like and you know It's just it's a very bizarre season and this is kind of the the thesis behind the play is Cade Cunningham is capable of a Steph Curry Carmelo Anthony type run in the NCAA tournament, you know, we think he's gonna be the number one overall pick He does look like just this phenomenal player averaging 20 points a game six rebounds three assists and The advanced numbers do not love Oklahoma State though They've had a huge run in the recent weeks But basically betting on Oklahoma State to win or to make the final four It's all about Cade Cunningham can Cade Cunningham put in one of those, you know March to remembers and and I think he can I think he's that good You're absolutely right. David by taking Oklahoma State You're betting on Cade Cunningham doing a Kemal Walker type tournament of Shavasnapier from sticking with Yukon for some reason But that's the truth Cunningham and Oklahoma State can do it You've seen you talked about the teams that they've beaten recently and beating Baylor beating Texas Texas Tech All these really strong big 12 teams gives them some momentum go into this tournament We'll see if they could do it again and get rolling here as the tournament kicks off in just a couple of days One final long shot to get you and this is like a hundred to one here They were talking about the Wisconsin Badgers from the Big 10 They're an eight nine game in the opening round taking on North Carolina. I've watched a lot of Wisconsin being a Maryland fan They're not very good Davis. Why are you in on them at a hundred to one? So this is basically where evaluating stuff simply through Efficiency numbers comes out because Wisconsin is the number 10 team in Ken Pomeroy's college basketball rankings and I Think it's clear why they simply just do not turn the ball over like they like literally They have the lowest turnover rating of like all 384 teams in college basketball a bunch of their minutes go to seniors like like a crazy amount of their total minutes played on the floor Are played by seniors now What if they were also a team that didn't turn the ball over at all and we're good at shooting three pointers I think they would you know, obviously not be this low of a seed they shoot I think like thirty two percent thirty two point seven percent From a team as a team from three obviously you have to do better than that in tournament But just not turning the ball over and having seniors on the floor is like a recipe that we've seen a lot of lower seeds Do to get into the sweet 16. It's very thin like can Wisconsin beat Oklahoma State? Can Wisconsin beat Illinois? Probably not I imagine that fan do a little bit closer is gonna release futures for like making the elite eight Making the final four making the sweet 16 and I would be more likely to do that I also like just Wisconsin as a dog in some of these games against the spread because they don't turn the ball over and They're playing all these seniors, but you know, this is normally a golf show So I got it. I got to bring in my Keith Mitchell's You know my my Corey Connick we got to bring the huge dog in here And so Wisconsin and they're super boring disgusting slow pace of play There are you know, there are our Keith Mitchell dart our honorary dart this year Gaggard's team is experienced as Davis said facing off against Roy Williams Targill squad for the right to play Baylor in the second round Something that could quickly end the hundred to one ticket for the Wisconsin Badgers You could have went with Maryland who only has to play Alabama They can get by you con you chose to go with a different big 10 team That's a mistake, but no big deal Wisconsin and a hundred to one better play them as an underdog in Or the ability to get potentially to the elite eight with a final four rather than taking this ticket to win at all That's a new for us here on the Fandala hurry up. I am pumped for the tournament Davis. I'm excited to talk to you throughout Yeah, super excited. It's gonna be it's just gonna be a great time And you know, I hope that I hope that Oklahoma State is able to make her on and I hope that we you know Just have some really cool sporting moments throughout the course of March Madness, you know Just some awesome storylines continue to develop because that's that's what we're all here for We know drama. That's a TNT Tagline, hopefully we get that drama across the Turner Networks and across course CVS here and then it's just straight up madness over the next few days For Davis Maddock, I'm Greg Sussman join us tomorrow where Megan Union's will join us It's all more about the NCAA tournament. Have a great night, and we'll see you back here tomorrow for another edition of the Fandala hurry up
