00:03 - The thing that I wanna look at really quick is,
00:06 is this, this 12-5 matchup between,
00:09 between JMU and Wisconsin.
00:10 And to me, when I talked to you guys before
00:13 about the fact that I'm a defensive guy,
00:14 I like to get stops, right?
00:16 When you go look at synergy,
00:17 you start looking at the comparisons.
00:19 You have a team of James Madison,
00:20 who was a 35th in points for possession
00:23 versus the 285th points possession defense in Wisconsin.
00:28 Look at effective field goal percentage,
00:30 40th for JMU, 301st for Wisconsin.
00:35 If you look at turnover rate, 12.3%, 47th.
00:39 You know, they make their free throws,
00:41 they score at 46.2% of the time,
00:45 they're scoring percentage, that's 25th.
00:48 Wisconsin, 290th.
00:50 So to me, that is the upset that I'm looking at.
00:53 And if you don't wanna take an upset with that,
00:55 maybe just look at maybe the JMU team total over,
00:59 because their metrics of how they score
01:01 versus how Wisconsin doesn't get stops,
01:03 maybe another way you could play it.
01:04 - Wisconsin was a team that was 16-4 at the end of January.
01:09 They went two and six in February,
01:11 split their final four regular season games
01:14 in the month of March, won their first few
01:17 at the Big Ten Tournament, of course,
01:19 in Minneapolis this week, coming up just a little bit short
01:22 against Illinois in that title game.
