Welcome back.

0:11.9

Welcome back here.

0:14.2

Ready set bet on a Sunday rolling into our number three.

0:18.3

And that voice that you heard sneaking in there is the one and only

0:21.6

Femi of Babafay joining me here from Circle Las Vegas. Femi, what's up, man? How we doing?

0:26.4

Flag on the field, off sides, five-yard penalty. I don't know what you want me to do. I'm sorry.

0:32.6

I'm stepping on your toes. You invite me in to hang out for an hour and I'm already stepping

0:36.8

on your toes. I'm doing great. My out for an hour and I'm already stepping on your toes.

2:37.1

I'm doing great. My apologies, my friend. How are you doing? I'm doing well. It just means the first round of pickleback is going to be on you next time. Hey, buddy. Don't tempt me with a good time. I appreciate you. You have to make sure we're home before too. I appreciate you joining us to family we got a loaded Sunday here. It's a lot of fun action going on all across the sports world. Right now, one hockey game going on. I'm on the Golden Knights. The Penguins are up one nothing. Don't love that. We'll see if Las Vegas can get the rally going here. One ranked game in action over on the college hardwood there. right now 16 to 16 Purdue and Ohio State tied up nine minutes, 12 seconds left in the first half there. So we'll keep an eye on that. Over in the golf world, I know you're a big fan, Femi. Hey, though. It's getting a little bit interesting here on this golf leaderboard. Tyler Moore, one under through two. he is now tied atop the leaderboard at 13 under with Shane Lowry and Austin Smotherman. Nikolai Hoygard coming out of nowhere, 6 under. He actually just bogeyed. He was 7 under on the day. He is now just two back. And what is it really crowded leaderboard here in the cognizant? And it's nice to see Brooks Keppka also make a run today run today. He's up to 10 under, six under on the day, Femi. Yeah. I mean, hey, Kepka back in our lives on the PGA tour. Good to see him back out there. Doesn't it? Not able to play in the signature events because he's in that like return to play program, whatever they're calling it as he retransitions back to the PGA tour from the Live Tour. But Kepka playing well. Good to see him out there competing. Hopefully we'll see him with some of the big boys in the near future here. But I am on Shane Lowry, a buddy of mine who handicaps golf religiously. He told me Shane Lowry before the start of the tournament. He went off as one of the favorites. So this isn't like some big bomb of a bed or whatever like that. But, you know, it's like a little over 14 to 1. I'd like to see it cash. Lowry, a couple of slow days, Thursday, Friday, then really charged yesterday. I wasn't even watching the golf coverage, Mike. I was hanging out. I got the nieces in town. That's why I painted fingernails now. I hope people can't see that. But I got the nieces in town.

3:07.9

We were hanging out. I got the nieces in town. That's why I painted fingernails now. I hope people can't see that. But I got the nieces in town. We were hanging out and then I get the text, What a Round by Lowry. I didn't realize that the round got moved up due to the weather. So like this is like, I don't know, like noon or something. Like what do you mean? What a round? Isn't he about to tee off or something like that? You know what's going on? Lowry yesterday, it shoots a 63 and here we are set up for a nice sweat-filled afternoon here on Ready Set Bet and as well on Live Bet Sunday coming up in about 60 minutes from now. So I will be closely paying attention to the cognizant classic, hoping that the Irishman, Shane Lowry, can get this home for me. I got to say, that's the best kind of sweat possible, Femmy. When you don't even, they're not paying attention and you found out everything went well for you. It's like waking up in the morning after you fall asleep and there's just more money in your account. Yes. Okay, I can work with this. I like how this is going. It is going to be sweaty over there. It's a wide open leaderboard.

3:24.3

Right now we've got eight players, all within two strokes of the lead in the Cognison as the leader's R team off. So we'll keep an eye on that as we're going forward here. One game going on on the hardwood, and I've got to say I'm very not happy with how this is going here. I played the Spurs as a pickum and I just flipped over and it is 51 to 36

3:42.8

Knicks with a minute 44 left in the second quarter here. Spurs just 36 points on the

3:48.4

offensive end. I thought the Knicks were going to be the ones who were going to struggle on the

3:52.3

offensive side in this game and right now it is the San Antonio Spurs. I would almost say, hey, look for a spot to get

3:58.7

an in-game. I don't want it to be 15. If this was like 10, I feel like it would be a decent entry point here on the Spurs, but it run out to 15. It's hard for me to say, yeah, I want to jump back in and lose two units instead of one here on San Antonio. It might just be one of those games for San Antonio. they've been running so pure over the last, like, what, three, four weeks or so since the All-Star break. They've won 11 straight games, longest active win streak in the NBA. And I guess at some point they were going to lose. They weren't going to just win out the rest of the way here. At least I don't think they were going to win out and have a 20-something game win streak heading into the postseason. But I guess you just figured maybe there was going to be one of those days. It's fitting that it's happening right now with the mecca at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks played pretty well here. But it's early on. The NBA, it's games and run. So like you're not down and out. Yes, you are down right now, but you are not out of this thing. Nine and a half is the end game. Total is at 205 and a half. I don't have any interest in this one just because I felt this was sort of a coin flip game, but I mean, if this kind of continues heading into halftime, maybe we get a juicy number on San Antonio, it's perhaps go ahead and bet into Victor Wenbighama and the Spurs to make this a competitive game in the final 24. I'm not there yet, but I am closely monitoring NBA games, game or runs. This thing is far from over. Yeah, I am not ready to lose a second unit, but I'll tell you this. It's never the next right now. I hate playing the team that's up big in the NBA. I always want that team who's able to be try and come back. This is a pretty proud Spurs team. And when Binyama, someone we saw at the All-Star game, how engaged he was and how he basically said, hey, I'm going to make you look terrible if you don't try. He's not someone who's going to want to sit down here, especially at Madison Square Garden. So we'll keep an eye on that one here, moving forward. And I, I want to kind of bring it to a broader conversation around

5:38.2

the Western Conference right now, Femmy. We've got this Spurs team just sitting two back of Oklahoma City.

5:43.0

We've got all of the MVP conversation going around. We know Yokic one game away from not being

5:48.6

eligible for the award. SGA does come back. He can miss five games. So really barring an injury, he should qualify for that MVP market.

5:57.6

Wembeyanama sitting there 20 plus to one. He's someone who is at least in the conversation. Is there a

6:03.0

world where SGA actually finishes the season? But the spurs end up as the one seed in the West. Can when Binyama win this with SGA qualifying?

6:13.9

Oh, man, that's such a good question here because I feel like I have not thought about that part of the conversation.
