Welcome to the V-SEN weekend morning line on V-SEN, the Sports Betting Network.

We keep it rolling here.

We are one hour away from a busy day of college basketball starting up.

Duke and Virginia, noon-eastern tip time down at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I'm Tim Murray, live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas.

And as we've been discussing throughout the show, it is the return of the Circa College Hoops Challenge.

And looking forward to being a part of this field.

Again, what is on the line, not as much as the Cirque Friday football invitational, but still

an opportunity to win a thousand bucks to either Berries or Stadium Swim.

So shout out again to Derek Stevens and Mike Palm for making that happen.

Runner up, Dom DeMarco's $200 gift card.

And that is what I received a year ago. And I will be utilizing,

said gift card tonight. So speaking of those standings from a year ago, just quickly before we get

to our guest, let's revisit our top 10 from a year ago. I came in second, as I mentioned,

27, 22, and 1. But we were all reaching up at the man that was running away with those standings a year ago.

Paul Stone, the champ 30, 19, and 1 ATS a year ago in this competition, and his best bets were 8,1, and one. And the champ is here, boys and girls.

Paul Stone joins us right now, courtesy of our progressive guest line. And he is trying to become,

now that's just year four, but Paul, you're trying to become the first ever back-to-back champion.

Will Hill and David Deneen unable to defend their crown so the pressure is on sir

can you do it can you make it back to back you know tim as our old friend that handicapper billy

shakespeare once said heavy is the head that wears the crown and you know i'm feeling the burden

it's it's been difficult but uh you know all seriousness, it's going to be a lot of fun. It's probably highly unlikely that I'll repeat, but I'm certainly going to give it a go. And we'll see how it turns out. We got some, some good guys in the contest and looking forward to it again this year. You know what I've enjoyed so far.
