00:00So here's now the real deal for me with the TBT tournament, okay?
00:04And this is going to sound ridiculous, but this is just being truthful.
00:07I bet this tournament one day with Gabe lost every bet,
00:11but I have watched a decent amount of it and certainly the Kentucky games.
00:16What I am not going to do, and I now care if Kentucky wins.
00:20I'm going to be very honest with people.
00:22That might be ridiculous, but I now care.
00:23What I'm not going to do is come in on the most important Kentucky game yet,
00:30bet Kentucky, they lose, and I ruin the whole thing.
00:33That's not going to happen.
00:35So with that said, here are Gabe's picks for the TBT tournament.
00:40Yeah, so we've got this Jayhawks Hoops crew,
00:44who are the Kansas alum taking on La Familia, who are the Kentucky alum.
00:49Should be noted, this game is being played in Memorial Stadium.
00:53in Lexington, Kentucky, tonight.
00:57Kansas have been road warriors.
00:59Like, these guys went into Manhattan and beat K-State on their floor.
01:04They just went into Wichita and started a riot and beat them on their home floor.
01:11But with all that being stated, Kevin,
01:14and I've been riding this Jayhawks crew, like, right through the tournament,
01:18if you guys remember, starting with the Purple Rain Series.
01:23I'm taking La Familia tonight.
01:25I'm going with the Kentucky crew.
01:26I'm going with the Kentucky crew.
01:29Dude, one of the – Kansas lost a guy in the brawl the other day.
01:34He got hurt.
01:36Kansas are without two or three guys tonight.
01:40They just went through, and people, like, knew about, like, the brawls
01:45because it went viral.
01:46It wasn't on TV because they cut away from it.
01:48But, like, you know, people are paying attention to this.
01:51No, how crazy it got the other day in the Kansas game.
01:54That was only 48 hours ago.
01:56I don't – like, they went – and, you know, state rivals too, Kevin.
02:01You know what I'm saying?
02:02State rivals.
02:03Like, that whole K-State, they were always in – they were at Kansas State.
02:08They're playing Wichita.
02:09They get into, like, a massive brawl, riot after the game.
02:14And now they got to go to Kentucky in a one-game knockoff.
02:19I like – I like Kentucky's depth and size a little bit more here.
02:24Kansas have really sort of willed themselves.
02:26Now, I hate getting in front of Frank Mason here
02:29because he's been good to me in this tournament.
02:31I just feel as if they'll not feel me or they'll play.
02:34I don't like the fact they're coming off those emotional games, man,
02:38against Wichita.
02:40Like, it was over the top, guys.
02:41It was over the top.
02:43Like, it's hard.
02:44They're not a pro team, right?
02:47I mean, yesterday I saw them.
02:49They were on the bus asking, like, they needed money.
02:52Like, they basically, like, were raising money online.
02:55Like, they said, like, we've advanced and we've got to go.
02:58Like, we're on the road.
02:59Can you send us $10,000?
03:02And right on the spot, Kevin, some Kansas alum said, here's 20.
03:06Yeah, wow.
03:07How about that?
03:08Like, ding.
03:08Like, they were live online.
03:09Hey, you know what?
03:11If you guys are watching us and supporting us, you know,
03:13we're two wins away, but the journey continues and we're running low.
03:19Right, right, right.
03:19Somebody just said, here's 20K, man.
03:21Keep it going, boys.
03:22Keep it going, right?
03:23They got to eat.
03:24They got to whatever.
03:25Like, that's why it's so devastating, Kevin.
03:27We talked about it, right, when players lose.
03:30Like, they took time off for their job.
03:32Some guys get fired and stuff.
03:34You know what I mean?
03:35It's like, yeah, you can't take a month off.
03:37Well, I am because I want to win.
03:38I'm going to be on TV and I might get a contract.
03:40And, like, this is these guys' lives, man.
03:43It means so much.
03:46I just think Kentucky are the play tonight.
03:48But my hot take is the Mecca is going to win it all.
03:54The Mecca is going to win it all.
03:56I think the street crew, and they're plus 400.
04:00There's futures up right now.
04:02La Famiglia are plus 190 to win it all.
04:05Davis Steeler, plus 190 to win it all.
04:08The Mecca are plus 400.
04:11Jayhawks hoops, Kevin, plus 425.
04:13Not a lot of love and respect for Jayhawks hoops here, huh?
04:17You can almost argue there's value at them.
04:20Yeah, it's not like the Kentucky side.
04:21They're two wins away from, like, they win tonight, Kevin.
04:24You got them plus 425 going into the final.
04:28It almost sounds, Gabe, here's either that number should be much shorter
04:32or Kentucky should be a much bigger favorite tonight, right?
04:35Like, if the two and a half of the favorite of basketball games are the same price.
04:40They're the same price.
04:41That's what I'm saying.
04:42So, I...
04:44Something is off there.
04:46The one thing that stood out to me a little bit, like I said, I looked into the game.
04:50But I want to...
04:51Okay, I was going to ask you.
04:52I've been playing the lower scoring games.
04:56Yeah, they're playing, like, 63, 59s and stuff like that.
05:01Goodwin, Gabe, by a lot, is the highest scorer in this tournament this year.
05:05When you have reliable points like that, in what looks...
05:10I mean, guys, this is a very low total.
05:11And Carly Stein's size, Kevin, to cause...
05:15Kansas get a lot of their buckets just through hard work and rebounds and stuff.
05:19Like, they don't shoot the three well.
05:20He's a legit seven-foot NBA center.
05:22Yeah, so now you're going to have a seven-foot dude causing havoc in the paint,
05:26and they were missing a million layups against Wichita State the other night.
