Good morning, Early Edge family.

0:11.6

Welcome to the show.

0:13.1

We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary.

0:16.6

Man, this chat is a buzz about Colin Morikawa,

0:20.4

who teed off on whole one at the players' championship and had to withdraw.

0:23.9

A lot of betting implications there for the early wedge family for some of my tickets.

0:28.4

Let's see how our tickets did yesterday on the recap screen.

0:32.2

We go two and three overall.

0:33.5

Buckets hits his even money play.

0:35.5

Tom misses Jeff Hockman hits USC plus five and a half, and we miss our sports line pick.

0:40.5

Two and three, certainly not a great day. Let's try to improve on that day. I mean, I got to be honest, it's starting off pretty poorly with the Colin Mark Howard withdrawal. But we can bounce back, right? We've got Tom Casale. We've got Larry Hartstein. We've got prop stars. we've got Martin Green, which means we've got NBA, college basketball. We'll be talking, I'll be taking your PGA questions if you've got them. Of course, we've got soccer as well. Martin Green, how are you doing today, buddy? I'm doing great, thank you, see ya. Bruising week for English clubs in Champions League, six games, zero wins. But yeah, there's still the

1:13.3

second leg to turn things around. And we've got a good slate of soccer games today. So,

1:17.4

yeah, got some good picks, hopefully. Speaking of good slates, prop stars, how would we assess

1:22.7

the NBA slate today? I love today's slate. I was just thinking, yeah, this is a tremendous slate.

1:28.5

So some great NBA action. Looking forward to seeing a potential Western Conference Finals

1:34.8

showdown between Denver and San Antonio. Oh, Denver and San Antonio. I feel like that's

1:41.3

bulletin board material for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Larry,

1:44.6

how you doing today, buddy? Well, that was a pretty good tease because I'm going to reference

1:48.2

some bulletin board material in my pick later on in the show. But when you got 14 hours

1:53.2

at college basketball starting basically when we get off this show, I think you have to be in a

1:58.5

great move. I think it's a good point. Tom, and we talked about this two days ago and yesterday, actually, where we've got basketball all day. So we don't want to keep you too long. We certainly want to get some college basketball picks out there and we want to answer your questions. But Tom, we're going to have a lot of college basketball questions on the show. I even have a college basketball play, by the way, which I sort of tipped my hand to a couple of days ago when we were talking about the Mac, the Mid-Atlantic. But Tom, talk to me about Cal State Fullerton. Anybody who has college basketball questions, day questions, NBA questions, soccer questions, PGA questions, get them in the chat.
