Notes:
Drew fills in for Rufus. Drew's NCAAM knowledge really helps the tourney convo so very, very good choice for a fill in.

Opener of discussing HBob's problem gambling tweets. I really don't know what to say. I thought Jeff made the only good point in the 8 or so minutes about the extremely thin line between retail and problem gambling. At one point we clamored for *more* KYC (despite being a bitcoin guy)? I think people will have strong opinions on both sides & that's fine I read a ton of them in the different chats I'm in, just not sure we actually understood HBob's points and the convo veered elsewhere. I'll let everyone else fight about it in the replies. 13:00 - Rece Davis tweet.

20:30 - Jordan Majewski starts. Thought Jordan brought up a good point about the 5 out style vs Iowa State. 23:30 - Thought Drew brought up a very good potential angle w/ the disparity between tempo adjusted turnover defense rate. 24:35 - Good point on Iowa St and their transition defense in this specific matchup.

24:55 - UConn vs SDST - 27:15 - Drew brings up the 23-24 UConn tempo vs the prior year's team and how this year's team is playing slower.

28:55 - UNC vs Bama - 30:15 - interesting point about if Sears will force UNC to alter their lineup. 33:15 - Drew brings up another solid point about UNC's inability to create extra possessions.

33:45 - ARI vs CLEM - Pretty good point by Jordan, New Mexico was 3-23 from 3, Baylor was 6 for 24, total 9-47 from 3 and so that variance alone almost made everything else not matter. Drew mentions Circa is already to 7.5.

36:35 - PUR vs Zags - 40:00 - good point about the first matchup that Zags by design shot 32 3s vs Purdue trying to stretch Edey, but they went 6-32 so they lost. Expect a similar gameplan and #EmbraceTheVariance of the 3.

41:45 - TEN vs CREI - good point about the CREI drop coverage tendency. Think there was a good case made for the under without saying under.

44:05 - MARQ vs NCST - Marq PnR offense vs DJ Burns a bad matchup, but Marq D vs Burns also a bad matchup. Good case made for the over.

46:30 - HOU vs Duke - HOU no rim scoring, near bottom percentile where Duke struggles against teams that can bully them inside.
