00:00Howard is going to take on UMBC, the Retrievers.
00:03And by the way, I'm seeing it most outlets here, Joe, a 50-50 ticket count,
00:07which is exactly what you want to see.
00:08Anywhere between one and a half and ones in the marketplace still as a favorite towards UMBC.
00:14It all tips off tonight at 6.40 p.m. Eastern, Joe.
00:18You are looking at this game, and you will be telling us, what's that spread line?
00:22Well, we saw this open at two and a half yesterday, Donnie,
00:26and it's been nothing but Howard money coming in here,
00:30pushing it down to the one, one and a half in which we see now.
00:34Now, both of these teams have been tremendous all year against the number,
00:38and both of these teams didn't lose a whole lot of games.
00:4122-8 on the season for UMBC.
00:44You've got a 19-9, but 21 games that they were able to cover is what the Howard Bison did.
00:51We told you yesterday, they have been the class of the MEAC here.
00:54A lot of experience, but who is stepping in front of the Retrievers?
00:59I mean, they have not lost a game since the last week in January.
01:03They are the better shooting team, Donnie.
01:06The only thing they've got to worry about is Howard loves to press.
01:10If they can create turnovers and get them messed up that way,
01:14Howard has an easy path to win.
01:16But something tells me that's not going to happen.
01:19It's the better shooting team that's going to dictate this game,
01:22which is why I think UMBC gets it done.
01:25But don't be shocked if it's a rock fight either.
