00:00New week, new conference tournaments that will begin here.
00:03Let's talk about the Mac, Joe.
00:04And they say, no, Donnie, what about the big names out here?
00:07Trust me, you're going to want to tune in for this one because why?
00:10Akron, Miami, and Ohio.
00:11Let's just say Akron, Miami, Ohio, and Toledo.
00:13Probably the three best teams there.
00:15But you might say, yeah, one's undefeated, and that's Miami of Ohio.
00:18They're not the favorites to win this tournament, Joe.
00:20And by a wide margin, Akron trading on Calcio right now
00:24at a 53% chance to win this tournament.
00:27And Miami of Ohio, who's unbeaten, only 29%, Joe.
00:32Let's start right there.
00:33Before we get into where you're going to invest your money,
00:35do you feel that Akron should be that wide of a margin over Miami of Ohio?
00:40Well, listen, part of me believes that, again,
00:44Miami of Ohio has done enough to be able to get into,
00:48as an at-large bid, the tournament, right?
00:50Having said that, that leaves open the possibility, Donnie,
00:54that Akron is a better team, at least statistically.
00:58They grayed out as a better team.
01:00And they almost took down Miami back in January.
01:05So they will be live here.
01:07But I know a lot of folks think that at some point
01:09the wheels are going to fall off of Miami of Ohio.
01:11You could have two MAAC teams in making the tournament, Donnie,
01:16and how wonderful would that be here?
01:19And I think you've nailed it.
01:20I think it's one of those two.
01:21It's either Akron or Miami.
01:24I'm hoping Miami makes it far enough,
01:27but unfortunately, Akron's going to end up winning out.
01:30Give me two MAAC teams just to see
01:33what Bruce Pearl's reaction will be, Donnie, when that happens.
