00:03 - Let's get our dancing shoes on and have some fun.
00:05 Let's get down to the Sun Belt
00:06 because we got more college basketball tonight
00:09 as we saw at the A Sun yesterday.
00:11 Now today, two games here in the Sun Belt
00:13 as we have the 11th seed and the 14th seed
00:16 and the 12th seed and the 13th seed.
00:18 Keep in mind in this conference here, Joe,
00:20 double buys to the top four seeds
00:23 who are as followed App State number one,
00:25 Arkansas State number four,
00:26 Troy number three,
00:27 and James Madison number two.
00:29 Now we've talked about it with the Atlantic Sun, Joe,
00:31 as you were pointing out yesterday.
00:33 Look, you're playing on the upper level team's home court
00:36 here as that starts tonight in the A Sun.
00:38 That's not the fact of the matter here in the Sun Belt.
00:40 Every game will be played in Pensacola, Florida
00:43 at the Pensacola Bay Center.
00:45 So looking at the teams here listed as the favorites,
00:48 James Madison, Appalachian State, Troy, and Louisiana,
00:52 do we take a look at this and say,
00:53 maybe it's worth more of an underdog shot
00:55 since the top seeds aren't playing
00:57 on their home court here, Joe?
00:59 - No, but they're not, but they are also,
01:01 it's interesting, the Sun Belt,
01:04 unlike what we talked about yesterday with the A Sun,
01:07 it's a lot more balanced, I think,
01:10 this conference tournament than others.
01:13 The two at the top there, Donny,
01:14 between James Madison and App State,
01:18 looking at the chart here, as you can tell,
01:21 they're your two favorites,
01:22 but they're also, it looks like there's a,
01:26 those two are gonna eventually meet each other here
01:29 and be able to get it going.
01:31 And don't forget,
01:31 App State beat James Madison twice this year.
01:33 So boy, oh boy, would that not be a triple revenge spot
01:37 for JMU, who has been one of the best teams
01:40 in the country all year long,
01:43 which is why they are the favorite in this one.
01:46 It is chalky, but my goodness,
01:49 to me, it's either one of those two, Donny.
01:51 It's either App State who beats them for a third time,
01:54 or James Madison gets its revenge
01:56 and moves on to the tournament.
01:58 They are certainly worthy of a bet
02:01 in the Sun Belt tournament beginning tonight.
