Episode Synopsis
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball for Friday and Saturday.
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben break down upcoming college basketball matchups for the weekend, revisiting their early-season bets and observations. They start with Arizona vs UCLA at the Intuit Dome, debating home-court dynamics and lineup strengths, with both leaning toward UCLA as undervalued despite early struggles. They move to BYU vs UConn in Boston, discussing BYU’s shift away from ball movement, concerns over efficiency, and UConn’s defensive reliability, with Ben favoring UConn while Griffin worries about BYU’s depth. They dive into Clemson vs Georgetown, contrasting KenPom and Torvik projections, critiquing Clemson’s roster turnover, and noting Georgetown’s strong defensive pieces despite awful three-point shooting; Ben likes the under, Griffin leans Georgetown. They preview Houston vs Auburn in Birmingham, emphasizing Houston’s physicality, Auburn’s flawed roster, and questions about Bruce Pearl’s absence, with both expecting Houston to control the matchup. Ben presents his best bet: High Point -2.5 at UAB, praising High Point’s talent, depth, and upside while mocking UAB’s transfers and program direction. Griffin’s best bet is Georgetown as a short home underdog or up to -3, backing Buzz Williams’ early momentum. They close with promo details, scheduling notes, jokes about their dads’ picks, and plans for more episodes as the season ramps up.
