This is Caching Out on V-SIN, the SportsBedney Network.

Cruising along now here on Caching Out.

I'm Dustin Sweetelson, broadcasting, as always, from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown

Las Vegas, Sirius XM Channel 158, YouTube TV, the Visa Watch app and radio affiliates

across the United States of God bless America. It's that time, man. We got a few more weeks of regular season college basketball, and then it's March Madness Time. And I feel like that's when this shift, I'm going to have my head on a swivel, man. There's going to be so much action to not just preview, but recap day in, day out. And one of the guys that I trust the most when it comes to college basketball is going to join us now. He and I are sitting on AJ DeBansta, big ticket around. I have 18 to 1, I think, on him to be the player of the year. Maybe he can make a push year late in the season. Boozer is the favorite. But I think DeBansta averaging 29 and a half points, the last few games against some of the top five teams in the country could help his resume. And that means Chris Messera's joining us. It was a long introduction. He is the reigning winner of the Circa Friday Football Invitational Pro Sports Better at Real Gage on X. And he joins us now on the progressive guest line. Before we get to college hoops, so let's talk a little bit about what you saw in person

over the weekend. You went to the Celtics beating the Lakers the other night, Pat Riley night, but more

importantly, the Lakers stink. They can't beat anyone that has any semblance of a pulse. They play

no defense. Your Celtics went in there on the road, took care of business. If Jason Tatum were to

come back for your team, they're around, what, 13, 12 to 1 to win the title, do you believe they're

the best team in the Eastern Conference? Well, my concern is, and thanks for having me, Dustin,

I love coming on with you. I love, you know, shooting up the different angles and our weird little, you know, you got that New York

thing and I'm rooting for the Celtics, but I'll tell you, my concern is when Tatum comes back,

I feel like he's going to, you know, maybe shake up the apple cart a little bit. Some of the

comments he made, you know, I've heard, I heard Zach Cohen earlier saying that he said it's all Jalen Brown's team.

I don't think so at all. I mean, you got a guy who's, he was secretly filming a documentary about

his injury return. I mean, give me a break. I just kind of thought it was a little much. I don't think

we need a Jason Tatum injury return documentary.

It's supposed to drop coming up in two weeks, and they move the Philly game on March,

I want to say March 7th or there's a Dallas game that might be his return, and he's doing

all these things like Kobe returned.

I don't know.

There's just a lot of prima don't know, there's this a lot of prima don't know of stuff with Tatum.
