Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball betting for this weekend. The guys also give out best bets. Quotes and Analysis [Griffin Warner, 0:14 - 0:41] "We are here to discuss the top four games on our slate for this Saturday." Analysis: Griffin sets the stage, emphasizing the importance of these matchups in determining "who is for real" in conference play. He teases a discount offer, drawing listener interest. [Big East Ben, 0:42 - 0:55] "Been ice cold the last two weeks... Looking forward to [bouncing back]." Analysis: Ben humorously reflects on his recent betting losses but expresses optimism about the weekend's slate, suggesting a pivotal point for his predictions. [Big East Ben, 1:39 - 2:31] "UConn-Villanova was a classic... Caravan, 84% foul shooter, missed two free throws." Analysis: A dramatic retelling of UConn's struggles in a nail-biting loss to Villanova. The focus on Caravan's missed free throws underscores UConn's inconsistency in clutch moments. [Big East Ben, 3:31 - 4:06] "Without McNeely, UConn does not have a primary scorer... Caravan is Robin." Analysis: Ben critiques UConn's offensive depth, likening Caravan to a supporting player (Robin) rather than a leader (Batman). [Griffin Warner, 7:50 - 8:02] "UConn's failures, when it happens, it comes in buckets." Analysis: Griffin's quip highlights UConn's pattern of collective breakdowns, providing a memorable metaphor. Player Statistics and Analysis Alex Caravan: Highlighted as UConn's inconsistent scorer, described as a reliable "Robin" but not a game-changing "Batman." Hassan Diara: Critiqued for streaky play, with comparisons to Steve Novak emphasizing his specialization but lack of versatility. St. John's Kadari Richmond: Praised as a "giant" guard with significant physical advantages but also noted for three-point shooting struggles. Zuby Ejiofor: Mentioned as a potential breakout player for Villanova, improving his shooting consistency. Team Statistics and Insights UConn (Big East) Struggled in Big East play, particularly in close games. Without McNeely, the team lacks a go-to scorer in clutch moments. Reliance on zone defense by opponents (e.g., Georgetown) could expose UConn's offensive vulnerabilities. Georgetown Improved significantly under Ed Cooley, leveraging zone defenses effectively. Hungry for a statement win; the upcoming matchup with UConn is seen as pivotal for postseason hopes. St. John's Noted for poor three-point shooting (304th in percentage nationally). Dominates offensive rebounding, compensating for shooting deficiencies. Strong performance against Xavier showcased resilience and tactical execution. Texas A&M (SEC) Resilient team, as demonstrated by a comeback win against Oklahoma. Home-court advantage noted as a significant factor in SEC matchups. Tennessee (SEC) Coming off a disappointing loss to Florida. Known for defensive intensity but plagued by offensive inefficiencies in away games. Structure and Predictions UConn at Georgetown: Predictions emphasize UConn's vulnerabilities without McNeely. Georgetown, playing desperate and inspired, could capitalize on UConn's struggles. Villanova at St. John's:Hosts see St. John's as slight favorites due to rebounding dominance and home-court advantage at MSG. Villanova's recent strong form is noted but due for regression. Alabama at Texas A&M:Hosts favor Texas A&M, citing home-court energy and Alabama's inconsistency in challenging environments. Tennessee at Texas:Tennessee expected to bounce back after a rough loss but faces skepticism over road performance. Conclusion This podcast provides a thorough preview of pivotal college basketball games, blending humor with keen analysis. Both Griffin Warner and "Big East Ben" offer sharp critiques of players and teams while delivering actionable insights for bettors. The focus remains on the significance of individual matchups and broader team dynamics, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of basketball action. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet Todd Townsend A former team captain and member of the 2003 Final Four team at Marquette University, Townsend’s coaching tenure has helped him build strong ties for recruiting in the Midwest. Todd played and coached in Europe before returning to the States and coaching at NCAA DI Schools such as NIU, Drake, UW-Milwaukee and Valparaiso. Within the last year Todd decided to make a career change and currently serves as Commercial Lines Sales Executive at R&R Insurance, where Todd helps companies improve their value by enhancing education, training, processes, and procedures that reduce the cost of doing business and offer our clients the best products, programs and professional services. Q. Tell me about your transition that you went through from being an assistant coach at Valparaiso during the 2019 season to where you are now at R&R Insurance? “Yeah, I would like to say it was a hard transition. At this time, it wasn't only because over the last seven-eight years I've been trying to make that transition, but to give up something that you love and coaching at the division one level or at the college level in general is a lifestyle, it's one of those things where you work in for 365 days a year and you're texting recruits on Christmas day to say "Hey merry Christmas” Hey, what did you get?" You know, you have that fear if you don't do it, another coach will. You’re always trying to get that leg up and, you do all that for 33 nights a year, trying to get the 34, 35, 36 in March. For the last 15 years my summers have been, either you're in a gym or you're on an airplane or you're in a car for 22-23 days out of July recruiting you know you spend all the June working basketball camps from seven in the morning to four or five and then hosting recruits and now I'm in sales it's like "hey, you want to golf?" "I was like during the week?" So I will say that the hardest part of the transition is actually not necessarily the job duties and things like that, it's realizing that my Saturdays and Sundays are actually for me and my family after the five or six o'clock at night you're with your family and for 15 years that wasn't the case.” Q. What is your current relationship with the sport of basketball since you have left it from a full time stance? “I still have to get my little taste and I talk to the coaching staff and players at Valpo every day. I kind of play a consultant role with them. I talk to NBA scouts here and there, so I spend about an hour to two hours talking basketball every day, whether it's 7am in the morning after I get off my peloton, or if it's at night, but it's hard with social media because I don't follow it too much mostly because I don't go on to social media to follow it. I don't want that itch to go back and coach because I really like how life is right now.” Q. What were some of the biggest aspects as an individual, and as a family man that you were dealing with while you were deciding on your future as a basketball coach? “Yeah it was even before the last six, you know, six, seven years, I've been trying to get out of coaching from the moment I got into it, or after the first couple years. My first couple years I coached Dominic James, Jerel McNeal, Wesley Matthews, Lazar Hayward, Steve Novak for a year and Joe Chapman. You go into the Big East, the NCAA tournament, and you're doing this stuff and for 33, 34, 35 nights of the year which is fun. But when your mom says, "life shouldn't be that hard'', or "you shouldn't have to work that hard, and you start saying, "Mom, you don't understand," and "I'm happy, I'm happy," and other things like that... Moms know when you're not happy. Other than that I would say the lack of friends because when you get into coaching so early it's tough. My best friend (Travis) Diener is still playing Europe, my former teammates are still playing and here I am in my mid 20s and all my friends are 40 year old coaches. They have grown kids and I found myself actually hanging out with their kids playing basketball more. So as you see social media begin to rise, you see your friends having fun and see you missed out on every teammates wedding. I made a couple but for the most part, I missed out on all those things. I started to realize I was missing out on a chunk of my life that I really wanted to be a part of.” Q. I'm going to follow it up with diving a little bit deeper into the recruiting process itself, then do you agree with this beast that is college recruiting? And do you think that the NCAA should be responsible for making more stipulations on how and when coaches can recruit and when they can be talking to recruits and then that might lead to just a better lifestyle for coaches? “It's tricky because I absolutely love recruiting, I absolutely love it. I love the chase, I love the competition. You compete at something literally 50 times a day, whether it's this drill, whether it is a shooting drill, you're constantly competing, and most people in life do not compete like that. I miss practice more than anything. I miss practice more than those 33, 34, 35 nights of the year where you where you're suiting up and playing, so I miss being competitive and recruiting. You have this list, and it's this chase of trying to win. You’re getting to know people and along the way you’re changing kids’ lives. You develop this unbelievable relationship and then they’ve got to make a decision, and it's not really them making the decision so you’ve got to get to the decision maker and things like that. Then there’s heartbreak. When I got the call that Fred Van Vleet was committing to Wichita State over us, that was my first real heartbreak. On the flipside, it is screwed up because for 365 days a year, you are prioritizing other people's kids before your own. You’d be gone all of July to come back off the road to try to get these recruits on campus in August before school starts, and every weekend of the fall you’re hosting recruits. Then when you’re in the season, you’ve got to worry about your team and in any free time you have you're going to see a high school game. College athletics is screwed up because every recruit is the most important recruit, and your boss is on the hot seat even if he just won 20 plus games, and you just need to be there for a recruit. Bottom line is that recruiting is not healthy, especially when you're at that low major-mid major level and you don't have money to take a plane, so you’ve got to drive six hours on the back roads in the Midwest after a seven o'clock High School game to get back in the morning. You know, it's not healthy.” And much more...

Milwaukee Bucks analyst Steve Novak joins Bryan Dee and Dennis Krause to explain the impact of Malcolm Brodgon's injury and his thoughts on Marquette's NCAA Tournament draw.
All the hype this NCAA season has surrounded one man, Zion Williamson. The hype is real as I have yet to watch a basketball player such as Zion. Too bad this isn’t Lauryn Hill’s son, as her decision to keep Zion would’ve been 100% confirmed if it was. There is a reason the tournament is called March Madness, and this year won’t be a letdown. The four 1 seeds, will be Gonzaga, Virginia, UNC and Kentucky. What’s great is all four of these teams can lose, and most likely will lose at some point during the tournament. Kentucky is the team out of this group to watch out for, especially since they’ve gotten better with time. The Big 10 is likely the most dominant conference, with plenty of firepower to account for. The SEC might be the most interesting conference, especially with Tennessee emerging as a top team in the nation. Then, there’s Auburn, who isn’t in the Top 25 but is capable of beating any team in the country on any given night. Let’s not forget about the Big East, where Villanova is always a threat. Despite a recent losing streak, Marquette has flashed signs of their D Wade and Steve Novak days. Since the conference tournaments haven’t started, it’s way too early to give predictions. Besides duke, who boasts a lineup of 4 freshmen that will all be 1st round picks, including the top 2 picks, Zion and RJ Barrett aka the Maple Mamba. Teams either have a plethora of experience, or talent, some with a combination of both. In college, success comes down to coaching, talent, belief, and magic. Teams have control over 3 of the 4 factors. Pay attention early on to teams who don’t get flustered easily and play system basketball. Otherwise, sit back, relax, take a break from taxes, fill out your brackets, and enjoy March Madness. This is Greg Landorf, that was New York Sports and Rhymes and I’ll return with a more detailed piece on this subject, at the appropriate time.
