WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.040
It's go time in college basketball Land. We have actual dribbling of basketballs,

2
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:12.880
shooting of basketballs at Alan Fieldhouse to
talk about. And yeesh, it was

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.399
a little underwhelming, to say the
least. Some KU fans may tell you

4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.600
about the way they looked an exhibition
play the next time they bounced the ball

5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.600
on the hardwood. It counts in
the score books. Opening night is Monday.

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.399
We're gonna recap the exhibition games,
give you some forty prop bets thirty

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.119
prop bets, however many there are
this year, and preview a real live

8
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.520
basketball game. This is Inside the
Paint Season eleven. I'm Ryan Landry.

9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.079
I am psychic Detective Sean Spencer.
This is my partner, Lavender Gooms.

10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.079
I'm Lavender Goomes. Yes, thank
you so much for completing that bit.

11
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.039
I've never feeling a more satisfied in
my entire life. I know this is

12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.840
say, not funny for calling out
the bit, but Nick, oh,

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.159
perfect, perfect, I'm so glad
we did that. So Landon's Landon's ascent

14
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.599
into Joshua Brisco two point zero just
continues more and more. By the show,

15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.239
Nick and Landon's chemistry just continues to
grow, which is great. How

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.400
it only took you guys, like
seven seasons to throw down an alley oop

17
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.760
on the segways a sage six or
seven. Back in the start, it

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.079
was really tough to even get us
to like respond to each other speaking on

19
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.760
air. Now, I remember those
days, silent bits. It's great,

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.319
Yeah, Landon, Landon Harris just
lobbed up an and one to to Nick

21
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.519
Dickinson there and look at that,
and oh my gosh, somehow they still

22
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.159
only scored seventy three points against Fort
Hayes State. Let's talk all about the

23
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.000
exhibitions. It's airhorn time, it's
recap time. We're gonna do this a

24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.280
little bit differently because I'm not here
to tell you about how well against Fort

25
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.079
A State. So Johnny Furfy two
points in eight minutes, guys, what

26
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.840
do we think? We're not doing
the stats. We're just gonna talk some

27
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.400
takeaways and I'm gonna try to convince
you guys that the season is and over

28
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.599
before it starts. Let's talk.
So the Jayhawks played two exhibition games.

29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.960
They played Illinois in the scrimmage for
Maui wildfire relief funds. They lost that

30
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:20.000
game, and then they played their
usually scheduled against a lower level Kansas college

31
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.599
team this year was Fort Hayes State. I had some KU fans on Twitter

32
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.159
trying to tell me that Fort hay
State is easily the best of those schools,

33
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.120
which explains why they only lost or
won by eighteen. But they beat

34
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.439
Fort Hayes State by eighteen at Allen
Fieldhouse the other night. How do we

35
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.120
want to do this? We just
want to kind of give some takeaways what

36
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.719
we saw. There's not a whole
lot to analyze. You can look back

37
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.120
at the history of these they've barely
and when I say barely, they've beat

38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.319
Washburn by twenty in seasons they went
on to have monstrous success. They've completely

39
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.719
gutted Imporious State in seasons they've lost
in the second round. So it's not

40
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.439
like we can even begin to say
that how they played in these two exhibition

41
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.879
games is indicative of how the season
is going to go. But I would

42
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.719
like to know you guys' thoughts on
what happened, what you saw, take

43
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.080
it from wherever you want to go. Yeah, let's do some general thoughts

44
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.080
on both games, and then we
can do like some specific takeaways maybe on

45
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.240
players that stood out or if there's
any like very specific concerns, we can

46
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.919
dig into it. If that's all
right, you want to start with you

47
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.000
want to start with Illinois. Illinois
beat Kansas eighty two to seventy five in

48
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.960
Champagne. It was a really good
arena sort of environment. It was a

49
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.919
great environment for an exhibition game.
They raised over a million dollars for the

50
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.159
Mali relief the Mali relief efforts,
which is fantastic, and we got to

51
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.479
see the Jayhawks play preseason top twenty
five team on their home floor. They

52
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.080
end up losing the game. They
really never let it more than like really

53
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319
early on, it felt like they
were constantly kind of behind by two to

54
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.759
seven points. They go down in
a very familiar sort of way with the

55
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.800
other team making eleven threes, including
some step back, crazy end of the

56
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.639
shot clock stuff, results in a
seven point l Full disclosure, I was

57
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.479
not able to actually sit and watch
these games, but thanks to the YouTube

58
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.240
channel Matthew loves Ball, who makes
like super mega stuffed highlights, I was

59
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.480
still able to watch like fifty minutes
of basketball between the two games. So

60
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:21.480
thank you Matthew loves Ball for your
like thirty one minute k U Illinois highlight

61
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.600
video. Yeah, instead of this
game, we were watching Patrick Mahomes light

62
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.759
up the scoreboard against the Denver Broncos. Yeah. Oh wait, so sad.

63
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.639
This game seemed to be kind of
odd. Kevin McCully looked great.

64
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.639
Five threes is amazing. He made
some more against against four Hayes. Twenty

65
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.639
five points for Kevin mccullor in this
game. And yeah, I believe he

66
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.399
made what how many threes in the
two games combined? Six? I think

67
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:55.439
he was six for eleven from three
in the two exhibitions. He I think

68
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.079
definitely had a couple. Yeah,
No, he was ten of sixteen.

69
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.319
What from three? No, he
wasn't He was two for three against yeah,

70
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.639
four, so he was nine of
whatever. That would be. What

71
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.319
the hell is going on with your
match? Form three? Color went four

72
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.160
of eight against four Hayes and he
went five nine. No, he went

73
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.439
I'm an eighties the three numbers both
times. There you go. I was

74
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:29.759
gonna say, Spencer business, it's
over. It's over. Not funny.

75
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.480
Hey, did you see the way
the Jayhawks looked in the exhibition? It

76
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.079
was our exhibition two three? Yes, doesn't matter? Good? Yeah,

77
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:45.079
plus rest of the team bad.
Bad from three, Nick, save me,

78
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.959
give me a life preserver of any
kind. Yeah, well, Kansas

79
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.800
really in this these games needed a
life preserver from shooting wise. I mean,

80
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.959
like you said, just, I
mean, in the Illinois game,

81
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.839
you kind of ran in a teared
Shannon making anything he wanted to. Kansas

82
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.439
really didn't. Kansas really didn't reciprocate
that just. I mean, both of

83
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.959
these games started off pretty well.
K you did Hunter Dickinson specifically, and

84
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.720
then it seemed like just became a
little lax. I mean, and they

85
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.000
know the Illinois game, they never
really led in the second half, just

86
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.720
kind of played close and never took
the lead and never never got over the

87
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.759
hump Fort hay State. You know, you start really good, get a

88
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.519
big eighteen to six lead, and
then all of a sudden, you know,

89
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.759
I mean, you never really lose
the lead. It just kind of

90
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.680
becomes a gross just gross basketball.
You know, seventy three points in an

91
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:38.680
exhibition game really uncharacteristic for KU.
Not something you see usually. But I

92
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.079
think that's just exposing, you know, a team that you have all these

93
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.319
new pieces, and I think this
is gonna be an issue We're going to

94
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.839
see with the transfer portal. You
have all these new pieces and they finally

95
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.160
get out, you know, and
run the floor against real teams. They've

96
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.720
got to figure some things out offensively, particularly, but you know Bill Solf,

97
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.399
you know, the players really focused
on, you know, defense.

98
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.959
I think that's going to be hit
home because it's the thing you can control

99
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.000
the most, is if you're able
to defend, and then you can turn

100
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.560
that into scoring. But yeah,
I mean, looking at this now,

101
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.199
it's way too early to raise the
alarm bells. I'm sure KU fans are

102
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.800
super rational on Twitter. I would
have no idea superrational on Twitter about the

103
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.240
current place we're at. Two exhibition
games into this, but I think there

104
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.199
is cause for concern a little bit
on where you're going to get that scoring

105
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.560
productivity. You know, you have
a point guard. I texted you guys

106
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.519
earlier. Ryan think thinks I overreacted. I'm not saying Dewan Harris is anything

107
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.720
less than an All American point guard. But you know, when you do

108
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.079
have a point guard that isn't able
to shoot the three, or doesn't shoot

109
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.240
the three very much, that is
a little bit of a liability. You

110
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.120
got your hands tied behind your back, You've got a couple other guys Hunter

111
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.800
Dickinson, Kevin mccolor, who are
going to score a lot. They've both

112
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.040
scored twenty points in both these exhibition
games. Great production, no doubt these

113
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.759
guys are going to stack the stat
sheet. But the question mark started rising

114
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:58.360
without Arterio Morris. You know that
would I think as I preface bad loss,

115
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.199
not from a person personnel, person, human being, ethical perspective.

116
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.120
Great decision to get rid of him
for his actions, but I mean you're

117
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.680
missing a big, a big void
on the court without with him gone and

118
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.920
his explosiveness, his ability to get
to the basket, I think that's definitely

119
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.519
gonna be missed. You still have
a question to Mark about how Nick Timberlake's

120
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.519
game is going to translate to power
five from tousand. You know, I

121
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.800
think that great players are gonna be
great players. He's very obviously. I

122
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.319
just I think a little, you
know, nervous to start the season.

123
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.600
Hopefully that starts the form into shape, but you need big things from him.

124
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.039
Hopefully we're not asking too much out
of l Marco Jackson and obviously Johnny

125
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.000
Furfey a lot of excitement around him, but you're lying on freshman, you

126
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.320
know, it's a lot like duke
duke basketball players. Duke teams, it

127
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.279
seems like they take a while to
get going and they really hit their stride

128
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.759
later on in the year. I
think we're gonna see something similar with the

129
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.159
Kansas team that quite hasn't quite gelled
yet and has a lot of newcomers and

130
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.080
newcomers to the Division one, you
know, college basketball. So yeah,

131
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.039
the three point shooting is definitely the
biggest takeaway I think from a pessimistic perspective,

132
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.279
Kansas in these two games nine for
thirty nine shooting threes. Kevin mccaller

133
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.600
was six and eleven. Yeah,
So if you take Kevin McCuller out of

134
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.799
there, the Jayhawks not named Kevin
mccullar were three for what, three for

135
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.360
twenty eight something like that, Three
for twenty yeah, three for twenty seven,

136
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.360
three for twenty seven shooting threes from
guys not named Kevin mccoller. In

137
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:35.799
this atrocity of two shooting performances,
I mean, the three point shooting is

138
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.159
gonna have to come from these four
guys this year, and you know,

139
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:45.440
we expect guys to make improvements,
but just generalizing this, your best four

140
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.720
options for threes are as follows Kevin
mccullor career thirty percent shooter in four years.

141
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.320
Nick Timberlake played at thousand, Johnny
Furfy seventeen year old freshman, and

142
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.559
Elmarco Jackson, eighteen year old freshman. Those are your four guys that you're

143
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.799
counting on the three point shot coming
from. We expect Timberlake, who shot

144
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.679
forty percent from three the last two
seasons, the ball will go in the

145
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.080
basket just fine for him. He
made three and against Illinois, struggled against

146
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.600
against Fort Hayes made one at the
very end. Not concerned about him.

147
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.320
Mcculor looks much improved, but he
is still a guy who's only made thirty

148
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.480
percent of the threes in his career. If he can get to thirty five,

149
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.759
they'd be a massive leap forward.
Furfey and Jackson, those two guys

150
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.720
have to make a solid amount of
threes. They don't have to be Grady

151
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.200
Dick, they don't have to be
Ben maclamore. But they need those guys

152
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.200
to make thirty four to thirty five
percent of you know, make a couple

153
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.279
threes a game. That's gonna be
important. I don't think we have any

154
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.679
dial its that They're gonna get as
much inside scoring as they want. Hunter

155
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.720
Dickinson's gonna have an insanely high usage
rate. He's a very effective player,

156
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.000
walking bucket, clearly the sort of
guy you can build your offense around.

157
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.200
I'm a little concerned about what's gonna
happen, though, Landon. Whenever we

158
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.360
saw Fort Hayes State, it's kno
going to offer much resistance. And Dickenson

159
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.000
still did put up twenty two points
in the game in Champagne against Illinois.

160
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.120
But whenever he's not, I mean
he's getting you two at a time.

161
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.240
And you get into a three point
shooting contest with Illinois making a lot of

162
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.720
threes. We saw how that kind
of went. It was really hard for

163
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.919
Kansas to catch up. How nervous
are you about this three point shooting?

164
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.960
And as it stands right now,
is that the biggest concern for this team?

165
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.200
I think it probably has to be, just because as you laid out,

166
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.440
like your your top four guys,
at least reasonably speaking, you know,

167
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.440
you really only saw one make a
bunch of them. Uh. Timberlake

168
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.480
went oh for three. I am
looking at the correct column this time,

169
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.240
oh for three against Illinois and then
let's see he went. I thought he

170
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.840
made three in that game. I
messed that, No he didn't. McCuller

171
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.240
made two and the other only one
was a banked in three by Hunter Dickinson.

172
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.159
Okay, yeah, Timberlake one five
against four Hayes. And he's supposed

173
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.080
to be the best pure shooter.
McCuller definitely has looked like the best peer

174
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.080
shooter. And yeah, it's weird. Like Juwan Harris, we know he

175
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.840
can make some shots, just refuses
to take them. And it's not like

176
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.080
he's a crazy high percentage, high
volume shooter, even if he was a

177
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.919
guy that wanted to take a bunch. Kind of the same with Dickinson.

178
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.000
Dickinson can take and make threes,
but he's not going to take a ton,

179
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.519
and it's certainly the Bill's self offense. I imagine he'll take even a

180
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.559
few less than a relatively low volume
at Michigan as well. So it is

181
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.159
gonna be interesting, obviously. I
do think McCuller, again, it's exhibition

182
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.559
games. Who knows. He looks
like he could be primed for a Jalen

183
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.639
Wilson esque jump from a guy who
was not like a spectacular scorer or shooter,

184
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.919
but was very capable to a guy
that averaged a lot of points and

185
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.120
shot the ball quite a bit better. Otherwise, Yeah, it's gonna be

186
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.000
really interesting. I do like that
they gave Johnny Furphey number ten as if

187
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.879
to say, yeah, no,
we're just directly making the allusion to Sphema

188
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.440
kaylik. You just are Sema kay
Luke number two. And I think that's

189
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.679
probably what you're in for. Most
likely a guy that will play a little,

190
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.120
a guy that will make a couple
of games. He will look the

191
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.120
part of a guy that can really
make a difference, and you might see

192
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.840
that later in his career. I
don't know if he's gonna be that guy

193
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.440
this year. If he is that
guy this year, then Kansas ceiling is

194
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.000
really high. I just I wouldn't
expect that from him, kind of saying

195
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.840
with Jamary McDowell, I don't know
how much you can really expect from him.

196
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.279
I think McDowell gets red shirt and
if they have a four roster,

197
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.600
yeah, I mean that's what it
seemed like. So, yeah, three

198
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.399
point shooting is gonna be a big
concern, and it is very concerning to

199
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.759
only see them make like what they
make between the two games, like a

200
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.399
nine threes. Oh that's nine for
thirty nine. Yeah, yeah, here's

201
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.639
I got two takeaways in the plus
minus department, which I mean, takeaway

202
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.039
from that what you will. Number
One against Illinois, Kansas was plus one

203
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.960
with Dickinson on the floor and minus
eight when he wasn't. We talked on

204
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.120
the last show about how what was
it gonna be like when Dickinson's out?

205
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.279
Can Parker Brown fill that VOI?
Can he be the Midge Lightfoot to Hunter

206
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.039
Dickinson's David McCormick early? But the
first result is no, that's gonna be

207
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.200
a work in progress. And the
second thing, al Marco Jackson was freaking

208
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.480
terrible in the plus minus. He
had the worst plus minus on the team

209
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.759
against Illinois at minus thirteen and Kansas
was outscored by five points. He was

210
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:22.279
a minus five against Fort Hayes State. Kansas is being outscored by eighteen points

211
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.159
in the what fifteen plus twenty six
minutes Almarco Jackson's on the floor, It's

212
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.159
forty straight minutes of action and there
are minus eighteen when he's on the floor.

213
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.320
Bill Sell said after the game against
Fort Hayes State that he's thinking too

214
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.120
much. He just need to go
out and play. He's a freshman.

215
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.240
I get it, he hasn't played
an official college game yet. But man

216
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.480
if Johnny Furfy is still hindered by
the bone spurs and only was on a

217
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.200
ten minute pica shin splints, there
it is. Yeah, this brutal sounding

218
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.600
injury. We don't know. He's
not gonna be full strength for a little

219
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.000
bit. They got to get something
from al Marco Jackson, who started the

220
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.279
exhibition games. We'll see if that
even holds. I don't know. That's

221
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.799
that's kind of my I take with
three point shooting. Nick, I'm curious

222
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.679
for your thoughts on the depth.
I think you made a really good point

223
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.120
about Arterio Morris, who, you
know, due to his own his own

224
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.200
decisions, is not here. But
that would have added a really nice a

225
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.639
really nice piece to this team with
some scoring off the bench. In that

226
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.200
athleticism. This team's running nine scholarship
players out there. I don't want this

227
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.960
to be super negative, but I
mean, I mean I was talking about

228
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.159
Arterry Morrison're scoring perspective alone. But
yeah, you just mentioned the depth.

229
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.440
Yeah, nine scholarship players. You
know, Zach Clements is on is being

230
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.360
red shirted, so really really shallow
bench. Bill self said it in his

231
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.000
postgame press or that the guys were
already tired, which definitely not kind of

232
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.000
concerning. I know it's conditioning isn't
there yet, but that's gonna be a

233
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.519
very real problem for this team.
Is you know, worrying about just you

234
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.960
know, how well they're gonna fare
strength down the conference stretch where they're you

235
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.679
know, physically and strength wise.
And I know that the twenty twenty two

236
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.559
team wasn't super deep, but they
just had the pieces in their starting five

237
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.879
to neither was twelve either. But
this team, I don't know if the

238
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.679
starting five alone just really has has
that you know, the same attributes as

239
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.399
those older teams. Well, I
guess time will only tell. I'm not

240
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.799
that concerned about the depth because well, it depends. It's an asterisk on

241
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.360
it. I'm not super concerned about
the depth if guys like Jackson and Furfey

242
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.679
wind up being solid players. Because
the twelve and eighteen teams that both made

243
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.559
final fours, and as Nick said, twenty two it won at all the

244
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.320
three most successful tournament teams of the
last decade of Bill self, none of

245
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.720
those teams were deep. That eighteen
team had seven guys. The twelve team

246
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.279
had Connor t Hannle walk on as
their seventh guy. So the depth isn't

247
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.600
a huge concern as long as you
can avoid the injury bug, which both

248
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.840
of those teams did. That was
the one year dope sayed healthy eighteen the

249
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.759
whole way. But yeah, you're
you're Dewan Harris rolling an ankle and Johnny

250
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.360
furfey shin. Splint's not getting better
away from legitimately having to give guys like

251
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:03.240
Mike Jankovic and Dylan will hide some
minutes in these non conference games. And

252
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.720
that's just not that's not, by
any stretch the right thing right now.

253
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.880
Positives, I don't think there's any
doubt Kansas has three of the best I

254
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.440
don't know, twenty five maybe higher
than that players in the country. Dickinson's

255
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.680
a walking bucket. He appears to
be every single thing that Kansas wants him

256
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.160
to be. The defense has me
having a little bit of questions. Not

257
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.160
the most athletic guy might be a
liability times on defense, but he's gonna

258
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.319
be like Perry Ellis, a rich
man's Perry Ellis. I think he's always

259
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.039
gonna score enough to be worth it. Dwan Harris elite, Kevin mccollor looks

260
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.119
terrific. They got three elite players
out there. I would think that that

261
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.240
would mean the other like, the
guys that are four through seven or eight

262
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.039
on this team just have to be
pretty good and they're gonna win a lot

263
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.759
of games. Are the How far
can those three guys living up to their

264
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.240
billing take this team? Uh?
Well, I think if you include kJ

265
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.559
in there, I think it's really
high, really high. He kJ looked

266
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.839
pretty good too. He fouled a
lot in the in the Illinois game,

267
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.559
I think he unofficially had like like
nine fouls or something like that. Does

268
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.279
it say it says six? Okay, the refs the rest were given him

269
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.880
because they weren't They weren't disqualifying players. They were calling fouls, but they

270
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.640
weren't disqualifying foul outs. Uh he's
yeah, okay, if he had if

271
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.119
he had six fouls and that's it, then the rest did him a favor.

272
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.160
And then in the game against Fort
Hayes he had he landed one,

273
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.640
so that was better. Yeah,
But I do think I do think that's

274
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.839
a pretty high ceiling. But I
do think that brings you to a similar

275
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.079
problem that you had last season.
Now, last season, the real problem

276
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:40.400
was at times Kansas only had one
scorer, and that was Jalen Wilson.

277
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.000
And I think this will not be
the case with Hunter Dickinson. I think

278
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.079
Hunter Dickinson and Kevin mccolor likely they
have a good chance to always be guys

279
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:56.559
that can score. But Kj's an
okay score but I mean, you know,

280
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.720
he's an undersized big. You know, he's not a shooter at all.

281
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.039
Like there's gonna be nights where he
can't put it in the bucket.

282
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.000
We know Dewan Harris's struggles scoring consistently, and then like we've been talking about

283
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.279
the bench and the depth and the
shooting and all that, it seems to

284
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.000
be very much a question mark.
So it is a really high ceiling.

285
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.400
If those guys are all making it
work, all playing well, all scoring,

286
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.119
yeah, I mean, they're not
gonna lose a ton on nights,

287
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.240
and they might not be able to
lose on nights where they get all four

288
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.319
of those guys cooking at the same
time. It's just more about how consistently

289
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.720
is that going to happen. And
that's absous. What we'll have to wait

290
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.680
and see. And I'm not concerned
about the fact that Fort Hay State was

291
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.359
only an eighteen point final. People
got to stop with that. They dominated

292
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.319
the first matters zero percent. Yeah, they forty three to twenty three at

293
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.799
a half time. And look at
the numbers. Dewan Harris plus twenty four,

294
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.559
Kevin mccullor plus twenty six, kJ
Adams plus eighteen. They were fine.

295
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.440
The second half. They were tinkering
with lineups, which is what they

296
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.000
do. The score doesn't matter points
no matter. These are exhibition games.

297
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.640
The Illinois game was a legitimate kind
of an eye opener. It was also

298
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.559
a top twenty five team on the
road that is a little more polished than

299
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.279
you right now, And that's perfectly
fine. They win that game if Illinois

300
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.480
doesn't go nuts from three. Okay, I'll leave you guys with one question

301
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.359
here, unless we have more takeaways, which I think we're pretty much out

302
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.599
of gas at this point in the
segment. Did these two games be very

303
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:29.200
interested for both your answers here?
Did these two games change your perspective and

304
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.359
expectations for this team? Uh?
Ever, ever so slightly lowered them.

305
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:40.039
But that's Okay, with the true
caveat that these are exhibition games that you

306
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.039
can kind of take not that much
from Nick for me. I mean,

307
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.039
you guys already know that I'm not
the most like optimistic person coming into Katy

308
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.440
Baskmas season sometimes, so I don't
think my expectations were too high for this

309
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.440
team. I knew that that without
Arterio Morris, it was gonna be interesting

310
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.839
to see what this team look like. I am. I'm not gonna say

311
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.880
that I am impressed, particularly with
these first two exhibition games, but like

312
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:10.039
you said, it's just it's so
hard to judge November basketball. They can

313
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.720
go in and play Kentucky in the
Champions Classic, can beat them by fifteen

314
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.680
points, and it wouldn't surprise me. This team has a lot to figure

315
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.279
out, a lot of words,
which you expect from a team who hasn't

316
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.559
jailed, like I just said,
a lot of transfers coming in, a

317
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.480
lot of freshmen. So I wouldn't
say it lord my expectations too much,

318
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.799
but certainly gave me a reason to
have a few questions as we enter the

319
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:34.119
season. So I'm looking back to
see if there's any evidence. So the

320
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:40.880
team that won the title in twenty
two. They're opening that they played exhibition

321
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.839
play against Imporia State and beat them
by twenty six. And in the game

322
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.920
against Fort Hayes the other night,
Kansas led Fort Hayes by twenty eight with

323
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:55.599
five minutes left, and then they
put in the walk Ons and the third

324
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.559
team and they gave up a ten
oh run. The team that won that

325
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.400
was going to be number one going
into the final game against are going to

326
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.759
the tournament in twenty twenty beat Fort
Hayes by thirty. This team was up

327
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.359
twenty eight with five minutes left.
Like, yeah, the scoring is just

328
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.240
fine. I think that this is
this team is worthy of being a top

329
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.039
five preseason team. But just because
they are doesn't mean they won't have the

330
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.039
growing pains that any other team will. You're gonna see these teams take them

331
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.839
else. I read online that three
of the top five teams that played Secret

332
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.599
Scrimmages quote secret Scrimmages lost Duke Law
or yeah, Duke lost, Michigan State

333
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:38.359
lost Perdue loss to Rick Barnes and
Tennessee. So everybody is experimenting with lineups.

334
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.000
We're gonna get a little bit of
an idea of what they look like.

335
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.960
On Monday night whenever they're actually using
some legitimate rotations. But no,

336
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.119
let's see what happens in an actual
game that counts. You don't freak out

337
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.720
when the Chiefs offense looks eh.
Well maybe you do, I don't.

338
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.279
You shouldn't freak out when the Chiefs
offense looks eh in the third preseason game.

339
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.079
Let's see what they look like in
their opener, and more specifically,

340
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.319
let's see what they look like through
three games, two games they should win

341
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.119
by a bunch and Kentucky. If
they're two and one in those three games,

342
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.440
in the offense is barely averaging seventy
points a night, we may have

343
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.680
some problems. I fully expect that
to not be the case. All right,

344
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.359
let's talk about some prop bets.
This is gonna be a doozy.

345
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.559
I know that you're not feeling too
hot on the Jayhawks right now, but

346
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.839
you're gonna feel it pales a comparison
how badly you're gonna feel about yourselves after

347
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:32.519
you hear these answers. All right, now, we're gonna recap last year's

348
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:37.240
prop bets. I know everybody's really
excited for us to do this season's forty

349
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.039
prop bets, which is spoiler alert
actually only gonna be thirty because forty is

350
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:48.000
way too many, and after we
continuously suck out loud at this only took

351
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.160
eleven seasons for you to manage your
workload. Yes, that's hey, that's

352
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.640
inside the paint in a nutshell.
So, uh, it's just you and

353
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.559
I Land, and I don't understand
how we screwed this up. Nick was

354
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.519
not on the show last year where
we did the props and I sent them

355
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.400
to him. I have text evidence
that I sent them to Nick, and

356
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.440
I do not think he ever actually
filled them out. So this is just

357
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.759
you versus me, the man who
can never win pick them. Let's see

358
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.400
if you can win prop bats,
which I feel like you have won multiple

359
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.680
times in the past. I think. So that's not exactly like worth bragging

360
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.359
about, considering that stills under fifty
percent. Mostly right, Yeah, but

361
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.559
yeah, I'll take it. It's
better than losing pick them every single season.

362
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.640
Nicely, I guess, no grading
on a curve here, but you

363
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.920
are technically winning a couple of years. Let's see you can into it here.

364
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.200
So uh, yes, here are
are recaps. We're gonna fly through

365
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.880
these because this is this year's preview
show. I guess, but gonna blow

366
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.480
through what we did last year and
you can laugh at our misery. So

367
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.119
we start with one that we both
got correct over under fourteen and a half

368
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.359
points per game. For Jalen Wilson, we said over and that was not

369
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.880
even close. He cleared that by
almost six points. Yep uh. He

370
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.599
finished with twenty point one points per
game, good for the second most in

371
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.839
the Bill Self era, after only
Frank Mason's Senior All America season number two

372
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.759
over under fourteen and a half points
per game from Grady Dick. We both

373
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.920
said, over, what do you
think? Were we right or wrong?

374
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.440
Oh? I think we were.
We were wrong right by It wasn't by

375
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.200
a ton, but we were wrong
I think correct. Yeah, not by

376
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.960
much. Fourteen point one. He
was just under and that was over for

377
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:25.799
a while. Like he was over
until mid February or so and had a

378
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.000
really rough flight. He went pretty
cold. The two Texas games at the

379
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.759
end and the Arkansas game were both
way under that and that's ultimately what sunk

380
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.640
the ship. But a good line
over under twelve and a half points per

381
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.640
game for Kevin mccullor. We both
went with different answers here. You said

382
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.279
under, I said over. You
were correct. He finished with ten point

383
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:47.279
seven. I wish I could get
a do over on that this year because

384
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:48.519
I feel pretty good that he's going
to score more than that this year.

385
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.200
But last year just ten point seven
number four over under seven and a half

386
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.440
points per game for Dewan Harris,
I was optimistic and took the over.

387
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.799
You were very hesitant, but still
took the over and we both got the

388
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.359
point. He finished with almost nine
points per game, eight point nine points

389
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.799
per game for to one Harris,
I think I would have. That's higher

390
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.599
than I thought it was when I
was tweling this up. I didn't realize

391
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.519
it was that high. It's little
higher than I remember it. But he

392
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.880
was really good. I mean,
obviously he was. He was really really

393
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.200
good last season. He was not
the problem for the Jayhawks, and I

394
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:18.039
mean they were still one seats,
they didn't have a ton of problems,

395
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.640
but he was not the reason they
lost Arkansas. He kind of, I

396
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.440
guess, wasn't that he was a
non scoring guard late in March, which

397
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.839
you know that does doom Kau sometimes. But nonetheless, he was fantastic all

398
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.160
season. Another to one Harris line
here six point five assists per game was

399
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.240
the over? Under here? What
do you think did that go over or

400
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.000
under? Say the line again,
six and a half assists per game?

401
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.839
Oh, I think that was also
under right? Yep, not by much.

402
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.400
Six point two. We both said
over, and I'm okay being wrong

403
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.000
on that one. I that it
feels like he should have been higher than

404
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.880
that and probably was until the end
they started losing pieces, and that was

405
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.039
that's a fine miss this one.
Okay, now here's where it gets hilarious.

406
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.240
We both got this correct. Thank
god, go ahead and breathe either

407
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.319
sigh of relief here, because there
are plenty of dubious misses, but at

408
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.160
least we didn't miss this one.
Over under ten points per game for MJ

409
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:14.680
Rice we both said under and not
not really that close. He finished with

410
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:19.519
two point two not We're pretty high
on that guy. Yeah. That goes

411
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.319
to show and I don't think we
were alone either. Like, there were

412
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.839
rumblings that he was going to,
if not start, at minimum, be

413
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.119
the first guy off the bench,
and obviously, like the unanimous opinion going

414
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.720
into the season was that he was
gonna be at minimum, he was like

415
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.599
a shoe in for that top seven
rotation. He's an All American and McDonald's

416
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.519
All American, Like, Yeah,
silly us for thinking that was gonna that

417
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.559
was gonna work. Just never got
off to the right foot though, obviously

418
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.480
had all the how the injury problems
and then was sick and just never caught

419
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.359
up. Over under eight rebounds per
game for Jalen Wilson split room here,

420
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.519
I get it right saying over he
finished with eight point three. Usually KU's

421
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.839
top rebounder is in that eight to
nine range, but that one could have

422
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.160
gone either way. Another Jalen Wilson
prop here over under thirty five percent from

423
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.960
three you get the point back that
you just missed out on. He finished

424
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.359
at thirty three point seven percent,
And that was another one. I feel

425
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.079
like I think he had like an
over twenty stretch or something like that late

426
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.920
in the season that doomed that,
because that felt like that was over for

427
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.240
a while. Not by a lot, but it seems like I remember him

428
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.599
being in like that thirty seven percent
range for quite a big chunk of the

429
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.640
year. Yeah, I think he
was. I think you're right. I

430
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:32.480
think he had a really cold stretch
there for a while, which is not

431
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.240
not shocking. He was a great
player, but always a very high volume

432
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.480
player. Over under thirty eight percent
from three point land for Grady Dick.

433
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.880
I said, under on that,
because that's a big mark for a freshman.

434
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.279
You said over and you were correct. He actually cleared that by more

435
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.319
than two full percent, forty percent
from three for Grady Dick, forty point

436
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.759
three to be exact. That number
was close to fifty and non con and

437
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:59.000
then it dipped a little bit in
Big twelve play. I understand that Grady

438
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.440
Dick did not have the best freshman
season that anybody has ever had at Kansas.

439
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:04.240
But man, yet, an eighteen
year old kid that made forty percent

440
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.119
of his threes, especially after what
we've seen in these exhibition games, how

441
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.440
good would it be to have him
on this team? Yeah? For real,

442
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.480
they need a guy like that who
leads the Jayhawks in steals, I

443
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.599
said, Harris, You said McCuller. Who was right? Oh? This

444
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.599
was These were easily the two best
defenders. I don't remember, my gut,

445
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.960
says Harris. Yeah, Harris had
ten more, seventy eight to sixty

446
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.799
eight. Mccullar also missed two games. I don't know if you would have

447
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:32.119
had five steals in those two games, but that expanded it a little bit

448
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.359
still to the two best defensive players
on the team, and that stat backs

449
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.559
it up. We said, who
finishes second in total rebounds? We both

450
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:45.279
said Ernest Ouday, who finished sixth
with only fifty three rebounds all season,

451
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.599
Jalen Wilson leading the way. Kevin
McCuller was the second leading rebounder last year

452
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.160
with two hundred and thirty eight.
So landon you and I only missed that

453
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.559
by what one hundred and eighty five? One hundred and eighty five? Things

454
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.880
right farther margins. Yeah, wait, give it five minutes. Who finishes

455
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.079
second in minutes? You said Jalen
Wilson, I said Kevin McCuller. I

456
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.480
think we both thought Dewan Harris would
play the most minutes, and he was

457
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.599
actually the guy who played the second
most minutes. I would have gotten this

458
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.359
wrong had you asked me this five
minutes ago. Jalen Wilson played more minutes

459
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.880
than Dewan Harris last year. That's
very impressive for a big guy. Yeah,

460
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.799
I mean that's also how the quote
unquote four man is playing. It's

461
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.440
it's guard spot. Basically, it's
it's your biggest guard. Yeah, and

462
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.640
it wasn't by a lot Like Dwan. Harris had a couple of games where

463
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.079
he left remember the Case State game
with a concussion. It was real close.

464
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.880
Those two were within just a few
minutes of each other. Ultimately,

465
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:41.200
Harris finishes second number thirteen over under
thirty and a half combined points per game

466
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.799
for the four freshmen looking for thirty
and a half points per game for Grady

467
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.519
Dick plus MJ Rice plus zubi edge
of four plus earnest U Day. You

468
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.920
don't have to be a rocket scientist
to tell me that that was an under

469
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.400
and it was. I got that
correct, you did not. Twenty point

470
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.640
one was the line, and honestly, that's higher than I thought it would

471
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.599
be. The guy's not named Dick
who were freshmen barely got five Dick fourteen,

472
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.319
Ouda three Rice to Zubie one.
Uh. We look back at last

473
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.680
year, it was a good season
by all intensive measures. Uh, but

474
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.839
the freshmen other than Grady Dick didn't
do enough and that ultimately sunk their ship.

475
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:17.759
Right, Like, that's what you
remember last year for being the lack

476
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.400
of depth. Yeah, lack of
depth, and yeah, to an extent,

477
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.759
underwhelming freshman. I don't think the
freshmen were like outright bad. MJ.

478
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.920
Rice was not great, but like
I thought, Oda and Edge of

479
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.039
Four definitely were. They had great
moments. I think they played well a

480
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.880
lot of the time. They just
didn't get a lot of a lot of

481
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:40.079
time over a great kJ season.
But yeah, definitely. One of the

482
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.440
foremost reasons, one of the foremost
things I'll remember is to why that team

483
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.240
fell a little bit short over under
ten or excuse me eight over under eight

484
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.559
minutes per game for Cam Martin.
Here's wherever I start to yeat myself off

485
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.119
the nearest bridge. I said over, and I only missed it by like,

486
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.839
yes, he finished with well,
the numbers better than it was.

487
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.079
He played in four games, I
believe, and got two point five minutes

488
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.960
per game total, and then just
didn't didn't do anything at all after that.

489
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.920
You correctly said, under, I've
had a lot of good takes on

490
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.160
this show. I've also had a
lot of bad ones. And the Cam

491
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.240
Martin love that I had was not
good. I was right in concept,

492
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.480
that's the exact sort of guy K
you could have used coming off the bench,

493
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:28.519
but it just wasn't Cam More minutes
Zubi edge of four or Cam Martin.

494
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.359
I went with Cam and was wrong
one hundred and twenty eight to ten.

495
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.920
Good job, you get a point. More minutes Zach Clemens or Ernest

496
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:40.240
Ooday. We both said Ernest Ooday
and we were both correct. He played

497
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.319
a lot more minutes than Zach Clemens
two forty nine to one twelve. Ya

498
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.680
us more minutes Zach Clements or Bobby
Pettiferd. Here's where you on the banana

499
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.839
peel. You said Zach Clements and
were wrong three eighty five to one twelve.

500
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.559
There's the good stuff, But Bobby
Pettiford was not somebody that you were

501
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.400
high on. And you will get
those points back in these because I'm about

502
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:07.359
to go off the cliff. Here's
what number is higher? kJ Adams points

503
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.359
or kJ Adams rebounds plus assists.
What do you think looking back on it,

504
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.240
I feel like it's I don't know, he was a pretty good passer.

505
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.279
I don't remember all these numbers off
the top of my head. I

506
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.799
feel like it's points, but you'd
be correct. It's really not that close,

507
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.720
and I thought for sure it'd be
close. Three hundred and eighty points,

508
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.440
two hundred and twenty six rebounds and
assists. You got this right,

509
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.240
I got it wrong. I think
it was the lack of rebounding. He

510
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.640
had plenty of assists, but he
didn't average more than like four rebounds a

511
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:42.480
game. That's what did him in
with this. I think we expected him

512
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.640
to be a better rebounder and he
was a much better scorer than we thought.

513
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.000
Definitely didn't expect him to be a
guy that averaged double digit scoring like

514
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.240
he was, who leads the team
in blocks. We both said, Ernest

515
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.480
ooday, we were wrong. It
was kJ Adams with twenty nine oo day

516
00:33:54.559 --> 00:34:00.000
finishing third with eighteen. The more
on a full season is not very much.

517
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.039
No, it's less than one per
game. That's that's quite bad.

518
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.160
But still, yeah, I think
Dickinson will have if he doesn't have more

519
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:09.679
than that this year than we got
problems because he got hurt more minutes per

520
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:15.760
game. kJ Adams or Zach Clemens. Your worst call of the year maybe

521
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.920
ever, because you said, oh, Zachi boy would play more, thankj

522
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:27.000
and you were only wrong twenty seven
point four to five point six. Yeah.

523
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.199
Yeah, I mean, even in
a good pick of here, you

524
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:32.199
need to be off fivebout twenty four
minutes. So it is worth noting that

525
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.800
that's the halfway point of this and
you are only ahead on me by one.

526
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:38.960
It's ten to nine right now,
and you're about to expand your lead

527
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:43.400
in a hurry more minutes per game. Bobby Pettiford or Joe YESAFU, This

528
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.599
was actually really close. We both
said Pettiford and were wrong, but they

529
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.760
were within a minute of each other. Yes, a food twelve point seven,

530
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.519
Pettiford twelve point Oh. You know
what they say in the NFL,

531
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:54.239
whenever a team is going back and
fourth between quarterbacks, they say, if

532
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:58.320
you have two quarterbacks, you have
no quarterbacks. I feel like the same

533
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.239
is kind of true with backup point
guards. They constantly went back and forth

534
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.199
between these two, and neither one
of them were nearly good enough. Yeah,

535
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:09.039
that definitely is the case. What
is higher, Bobby Pettiford points or

536
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:14.920
Joe YESIFU minutes? You got this
right, and it wasn't close, Yes

537
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.000
if who played four hundred and forty
five minutes. The Pettiford's seventy one points

538
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.039
just got Pettiford wrong. I thought
he'd score more. He looked like a

539
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:27.079
guy who would have a lot more
interest than getting to the basket, and

540
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.320
he just didn't look to score.
He wasn't watching so much of anything.

541
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.960
Yeah, except for turning it over
in very unopportune times. Who has the

542
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.559
most points in a game for KU
this year? I don't know how we

543
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.039
missed this. We both said Grady
Dick and Jalen Wilson not only had the

544
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:45.599
highest scoring game, but he had
the top four, including all three thirty

545
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.639
point games scored by a Jayhawk.
The record obviously was the thirty eight points

546
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.760
at Kansas State. But I don't
know how neither one of us said Jalen

547
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:57.119
Wilson would lead. I would assume
the logic was just that we thought Grady

548
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:02.119
was capable of dropping like a nine
to threes game and grabbing like a thirty

549
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.800
five spot. We just didn't think
Jalen would get there. I guess.

550
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.960
Was Grady Dick underwhelming? Was Grety
Dick underwhelming? A little bit? A

551
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:15.679
little? He had a totally fine
season, but he was way too streaky

552
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:21.280
for my liking. I at least
thought he'd average more scoring than Ben Macklamore

553
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.159
did, and that's no slouch.
Numbers like Maclamore should have been the big

554
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.239
twelve Player of the Year. He
averaged almost sixteen a game as a freshman.

555
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.559
But yeah, I thought Grady Dick
was gonna was gonna flirt with seventeen

556
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.000
or eighteen a night, and just
hey, he kind of did a non

557
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.719
con play. The Big Twelve played
in much tougher good defenses. In the

558
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.880
Big twelve over under four and a
half times that Grady Dick scores at least

559
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.760
twenty points. This is one that
he gets in his column. He did

560
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.320
it seven times. You got it
correct. With the over over under zero

561
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.199
point five bill self technical fouls,
we both said over. He definitely got

562
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:53.159
one. I don't remember where,
but he definitely got one that's being taken

563
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.159
out this year because that's always an
over. Does KU win more games in

564
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:01.559
November than the football team wins on
the season? Close final here, you

565
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.119
put your faith in Lance light Bulbs, Jayhawks, Jalen Daniel's injury and whatever

566
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.639
the hell that was in the bowl
game on the two point try is what

567
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:13.760
screwed you here, because the basketball
team won seven games in November and the

568
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:17.239
football team only won six games on
the year. Pretty close, yeah,

569
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.719
very nicely close. Usually that's not
even like that would be a stupid one

570
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.119
to have, because it'd be zero
to any number that's greater than zero.

571
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:28.840
Yeah, normally it's how do they
Does a basketball team win more games and

572
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.800
opening week than the football team does
all year? And at least not anymore?

573
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.639
This is funny. Over under two
and a half players that start at

574
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.960
the center position for Kansas, hey
landon how many different players started at the

575
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:46.400
center position for Kansas out of thirty
six games. I I think it's just

576
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:52.880
one. It's one. It's kJ
Adams. That's the only guy you started.

577
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.920
We were not good on that one. Got this one right? Who

578
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.960
leads Kansas in free throw percentage?
Grady Dick? Yes he did eighty five

579
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:00.800
percent. Case you win the Big
Twelve? Yes, point for both of

580
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.239
us. Need the Mario Coy noise
on that one, because that feels like

581
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.159
that's always a pretty safe one.
Does K you win the Big Twelve tournament?

582
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:10.360
You said, no, good job. Does K you win the Battle

583
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:14.360
for Atlantis? You said, no, good job. I'm not reading my

584
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.760
own answers on those Is KU top
two seed in the ncaaas we both said,

585
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.480
yes, they were. They were
a one seed. Over under two

586
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.119
and a half NCAA tournament wins.
We both went with the over, and

587
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:27.719
we were both wrong. Obviously they
lost to Arkansas, but you know they

588
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.199
didn't other coach who knows how that
would have gone, probably wouldn't have gott

589
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.079
past Yukon. A lot of people
think is a sentiment anyway, So either

590
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.320
way that would have been an l
They would have had to beat the team

591
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.719
that won it all to get there. So it's not like that was ever

592
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.599
a layup. Over under eight and
a half wins against schools from Texas and

593
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.000
Oklahoma. They wound up playing fourteen
games and they barely got there. They

594
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.960
won nine. We both got the
point there. Five left here over under

595
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.760
one and a half games that Cave
scores at least one hundred team points,

596
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.159
and they did not score one hundred
once. The most they scored was ninety

597
00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:00.000
six against Howard. Based on the
way the offense has shot the absolute piss

598
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.920
out of the basketball in the exhibition
games this year, I think I think

599
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:07.159
that we're in a great position about
the over this time. Does KU lose

600
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.440
a game by at least fourteen plus? Hey prompts to both of us for

601
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:14.320
learning that this is an auto Yes, every year because once a year they

602
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:21.400
get their doors blown off at Alan
Fieldhouse. They lost by at least fourteen

603
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:25.960
points five times last year Tennessee,
TCU, Texas, Texas, and Iowa

604
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.599
State. Five big losses. Yeah, that's the last year was a little

605
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:36.400
unfun at times. Speaking of big
losses. Is the Missouri game within eight

606
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.559
points? We both said it would
be. It wasn't. It was actually

607
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:43.360
twenty seven points, so not quite. I'm shocked. I said that in

608
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.920
hindsight, I man really dumb.
Hey, we thought Missouri would be better

609
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.119
and they were. They were.
They were an NCAA Tournament seed. You

610
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.199
know what I remembered last night?
Missouri lost to a fifteen seed in the

611
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:58.159
NCAA tournament. Oh yeah they did. They lost to Princeton, and I

612
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:02.039
couldn't believe I forgot. Yes,
yes, they are the second team them

613
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.800
in Arizona become the first two teams
last year to lose multiple times to a

614
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:08.840
fifteen seed in their history. Yep, let's see four to go here,

615
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.840
three to go? Is Kentucky within
seven points? I said yes, you

616
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:15.920
said no. They wound up beating
them by nine. Not in the way

617
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.840
that I think we thought that was
gonna be answered at the start of the

618
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.760
year, but it was a Kansas
by seven plus win. Does kay you

619
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.760
lose at home? Yes, obviously
that's an easy one. Every year now

620
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:30.000
they lost a TCU and the last
one over under sixteen and a half total

621
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.559
points for the walk Ons. You
went with the over, I said under,

622
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:39.000
and the walk On scored fourteen,
all by Mike Djankovic. The other

623
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:44.079
walk Ons did absolutely nothing. There's
a commercial, a State Farm commercial just

624
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.719
came out of Dereck Henry flipping over
a refrigerator like it's absolutely nothing. I

625
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:51.800
moved a refrigerator the other day.
I just had to pull it out about

626
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.559
a foot to get something back there, and I was sweating profusely just moving

627
00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:00.760
it across my kitchen floor about six
inches. And that man just picked it

628
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:04.480
up and flipped it on its head
like it was nothing that could be.

629
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.840
It's a commercial. You never know. But he is a superhuman so he

630
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.559
is he is. I don't doubt
he's not the same species as I am.

631
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.119
I'm pretty convinced. So the final
totals landing, you got twenty three

632
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:20.239
out of forty prop bets, which
that's pretty good. I'll give you some.

633
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.440
I'll give you some applause for that
one. I only had eighteen,

634
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.960
which I thought would be much lower
telling originally, but we throw some layups

635
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:30.440
in there, like the big twelve
and the technical one, and I'm not

636
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:34.760
feeling too hot. So congrats.
You've now gotten a win in every single

637
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.480
thing you possibly can except for pick
them, and that is the way it

638
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:45.000
will stay. All right, Let's
do this year's prop bets now, thirty

639
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.840
prop bets. I'm not gonna do
forty this year. We're just doing thirty

640
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.119
because forty is a lot to sort
through. Nick, you didn't participate last

641
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.719
year. This time you're back in. Are you ready to dethrone Landing?

642
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:59.480
Because we know he's no threat to
win the Pick Him crown. We need

643
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.719
to make sure that we take away
the only thing that he has a chance

644
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:05.480
at winning. You guys did terrible
last year, so I don't even know

645
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.920
if we can say Landon really won. I mean, the pro bets are

646
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.480
terrible. Yeah, well, we'll
see if this year is is better.

647
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.360
Okay, let's open this up with
who leads a team in scoring? Question

648
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:22.840
number one over under eighteen and a
half points per game. For Hunter Dickinson,

649
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:30.519
I'm a little more torn on this
than maybe I should be, but

650
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:35.519
I'm gonna go over a close under. Okay, I think this is easy

651
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.039
that this team he's scoring, He's
gonna score a lot of points. Give

652
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:43.239
me all the over on that.
It like the low watermark for this is

653
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:47.079
gonna be like sixteen to seventeen.
I think Hunter Dickinson gets to twenty.

654
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.599
I think he is going to be
their entire offense this year. Yes,

655
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:53.960
I like the over big Troell player
the year, Hunter Dickinson number two over

656
00:42:54.079 --> 00:43:01.079
under fourteen and a half points per
game for Kevin mccullor. Over over.

657
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:04.960
That's too easy? Do I need
to raise that? All right? Let

658
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.119
me go, let me let me
until we split the room here, fifteen

659
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:13.639
and a half over? I still
think. I still think over all right,

660
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.000
I'll go under on that one.
I don't know, like that's easy,

661
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:20.800
that's right. Fifteen's right around where
he's gonna be. Yeah, well

662
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:22.679
we'll leave it there. That's pretty
good. Number three, who is the

663
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:30.840
third leading scorer on this team.
I'm gonna go kJ. That's pretty good.

664
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.079
It's gonna have to be kJ,
isn't. It's not gonna be to

665
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:36.519
one. Yeah, I'm gonna say
it's Harris. I'm gonna say Harris takes

666
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:37.760
a step this year. He had
nine last year. I'm gonna say gets

667
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.760
about twelve this year. I'll say
number four over under nine and a half

668
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:49.480
points per game for de one Harris, I will say, over under how

669
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:53.280
you did the average last year eight
point nine. I'll take the over.

670
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:58.360
Then i'll take the over. All
right, if we're all agreed, I'm

671
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.239
gonna move the line ten point zero
under game. Okay, I'm going I'm

672
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:06.039
going on it's under ten. I
think it's over ten. I think you

673
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.920
there is a scenario where he,
because of Dickinson and mccoler being a stud,

674
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.199
his scoring takes a minor step back
and the assist numbers go up.

675
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.440
But I think that this team needs
his scoring. I and Bill self,

676
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.039
we hear it all the time.
Bill self wants him to score more.

677
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:22.559
I'm gonna say it over. I
think he gets about twelve. You guys

678
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:27.679
both won an under on ten.
I do yeah, all right, all

679
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.519
right, we'll see next one over
under six and a half assists per game

680
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:36.679
for Dwan Harris, I will take
an over there. It's a lot of

681
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:44.840
assists, a lot slight over,
but man he's averaging twenty twenty two.

682
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:50.480
He's six point two. You said
six point five over under yep, yep?

683
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:57.159
Or seven? You want me to
change it to seven? What'd you

684
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.280
say? Originally six and a half
is the line I said? He gets

685
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:05.880
the seven. I think I think
over six and a half under seven.

686
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.800
Okay, you take an under on
seven point Oh yeah, all right,

687
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:15.199
I'll take an over on seven point
Oh landon, I'm no, no,

688
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:17.639
never mind, I want to Oh
we're all going under. Okay, fine,

689
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:23.360
slide it back six and a half
under over all right, there we

690
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:29.320
go over under nine rebounds per game
for Hunter Dickinson over. We're talking like

691
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:36.280
twenty and eleven over. God,
that's a lot of words under. It's

692
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.679
a lot of rebounds. But if
anyone can do it. Who finishes second

693
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:45.159
on the team in total rebounds?
K j Adams Ah, those are the

694
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:49.559
two answers. I'll say mccullor.
But man, that's gonna be close.

695
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.800
Who leads Kansas in three point percentage? They got to make at least twenty,

696
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:58.800
So we're not counting Mike Jenkovic going
eight for fifteen. It's gotta be

697
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:07.440
Nick Timberlake. Wow, you think
I think it. Yeah, yeah,

698
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:12.480
I think we don't know anything about
these guys at all. Nick Timberlake could

699
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.199
suck against quality competition, but I
think, yeah, by default, who

700
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.000
else is it? I think?
I mean, I think mccoller by all

701
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.880
measures, will end up being a
better shooter than him this season. But

702
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:28.719
I think on pure percentage, it
might be it might be Timberlake. If

703
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:30.719
I changed it to number of threes
made, does that change your answer?

704
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:34.840
I wouldn't. For me, I
easily, I think I think easily,

705
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:39.559
I'll go McCuller. If it's number
oh really, yeah, all right,

706
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:44.199
then then I'm gonna change that because
that makes it interesting who makes the most

707
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:47.239
threes? Kevin McCuller. I think
it's like, if it's not Tip,

708
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.719
if it's not Timberlake, something's wrong
because that's a piece that they need bad.

709
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.440
Like I think if if mccoller is
the answer there, that Kansas team's

710
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:06.920
worse. Maybe I think that's the
truth. Though over under ten minutes per

711
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.239
game for Johnny Furfey, under under
he's gonna be hurt. I think it's

712
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:16.199
an over I think self views him
as the seventh guy on the team,

713
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:21.239
Like I think he has to play
who else do they have They can't play

714
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.559
everybody. Thirty nine Misses also said
that Tyon Grant Foster was one of the

715
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:29.079
best JUCO players I've ever seen,
So I did say that, Yeah,

716
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:31.719
and Tyan Grant Foster. I haven't
seen many JUCO players, but the ones

717
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:37.800
I've seen, he was not one
of the best. Over under seven great,

718
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:40.719
I guess the line would be he
was started one for one. I

719
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:45.719
remember that on Thanksgiving against Gonzaga in
front of no fans, he made a

720
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:47.440
three and we were like, whoo, Kay's neck and neck with the number

721
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:52.360
one team and Bryce Thompson and ty
On are leading the charge, and oh

722
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.840
that was a dark season after that. Over under six and a half games

723
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:08.119
where Hunter Dickinson scores at least twenty
five I think man I said under on

724
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:13.800
eighteen and a half, but I
think it's really close. I think he

725
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:21.000
might be a smidge spazy against big
twelve defenses, but I think he'll have

726
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.000
some huge nights, so I guess
i'll go over. Mostly think he has

727
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:27.000
at least seven to twenty five point
games. Okay, I'm gonna take a

728
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:29.800
slide under. I think it's a
slide under, but you know that the

729
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:31.679
answer for this, if he doesn't
get hurt is somewhere between like five and

730
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:37.719
eight. It's real close. Over
under ten and a half points per game

731
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:45.280
for kJ Adams over that seems easy. But I'm gonna say under yeah that

732
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.119
that that line seemed easy when I
was riding it. Now I don't.

733
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.400
I don't think it is. I
just don't. I think Dickinson's gonna eat

734
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:53.880
up too much. Who leads Kansas
in free throw percentage? They have to

735
00:48:53.920 --> 00:49:00.119
attempt at least twenty Is it racist
to just assume timber Lake is a great

736
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:06.800
free throw shooter. I'll go with
the one. Let's say it's McCuller.

737
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.840
Mccullar is a really good free throw
shooter. He's better than Dickinson. I'm

738
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.840
gonna say, McCuller. Let's see
next one here over under thirty six percent

739
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:23.840
three point shooting for Kevin mccullar,
say thirty five? I agree? Slight?

740
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:32.360
Okay? Thirty five? Uh slight? Wow? Still yeah, I

741
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:35.559
don't know. I don't think I
can go over on that. What was

742
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:39.199
his percentage last year? It was
like thirty one. I think how I'm

743
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:45.079
gonna sander okay landon if you say
the if you say he makes the most

744
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.480
threes and he's not even making thirty
five percent of him, that's double bad.

745
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:52.880
Yeah, I guess that's what I'm
saying. Yeah, I think it's

746
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.320
an under two. I think he's
going to take a leap, And I

747
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:59.800
would love to be wrong on this, but I I just do not see

748
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.199
how you're gonna go from a guy
that shot thirty percent for four years,

749
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.920
because he's been very consistent with his
numbers. Each of his last three seasons,

750
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:09.679
it's always been between twenty nine and
thirty one percent. If that guy

751
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:13.559
can go over thirty five, then
oh that's awesome. But I just not

752
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:15.599
convince it happens. So I will
take a slight under over under ten and

753
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:22.960
a half points per game for el
Marco Jackson, way way under. I

754
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.079
mean, yeah, don't know who's
landon has him going under on basically every

755
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:31.599
points line. Nick is pretty split. Okay, I'll change it to seven

756
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.480
and a half. I'll go I'll
bend the line a lot seven and a

757
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.480
half. I'll say over on this
one. El Marco will be fine.

758
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:46.440
Over under. Wow, Okay,
Lannon. If Kevin mccullar leads him in

759
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.480
threes and doesn't make thirty five percent
of them, and El Marco can't get

760
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:54.519
to eight points a game. This
team is triple bad. Yeah, that

761
00:50:54.639 --> 00:51:00.039
might be true. And according to
you, Dickinson's an under and so Kevin

762
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:04.280
mccullor better score forty. The Dickinson
one might be a bad take, but

763
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:07.199
that's a lot though. That's a
high line. We'll see. I don't

764
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:10.679
know that. It also just may
lead to them being winning every Big twelve

765
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:15.519
game sixty three to fifty eight,
like, which you know Bill loves to

766
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:16.760
do that. I do think this
team's gonna be really good defensively, to

767
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:20.760
be fair, they were last year
too, and that led to a lot

768
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:22.840
of those type of Big twelve grind
out wins. Yeah. Who leads the

769
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:29.280
team in overall steals? You got
two great picks. I think it's Wanda,

770
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:37.159
yes steals, Uh yeah, due
one Harris. Who leads the team

771
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:43.280
in total fouls? kJ Adams,
I think it's Dickinson. I think Dickenson

772
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.320
is gonna play the most, so
I'll say he has the most fouls.

773
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.480
But boy, if that game in
Illinois any indication, Yeah, I'm gonna

774
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:55.599
say kJ Adams, Yeah, uh
over under nine point zero minutes per game

775
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:02.800
for Parker Brown under between kJ and
Hunter. I don't think he's gonna play.

776
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:07.000
Yeah, there's too many minutes to
go around. Okay, over under

777
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:16.719
seven minutes per game for Parker Brown
over yeah, okay, over under eight

778
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:27.559
minutes per game for Parker Brown under
Overna, I think it's eight eight point

779
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.400
zero. You think he everges eight
point zero zero zero zero zero minutes?

780
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:35.440
All right, I'll take us ever
so slight under there. I think it's

781
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:37.480
over on that. Bill self likes
to play backup centers. That. I

782
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:39.920
mean, we saw him play Mitch
more than we wanted. We saw him

783
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:45.639
play and then Lucas went at times. Yeah, I'm talking about like a

784
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:50.280
pre good landon Lucas way back in
the cliff Alexander days. I like this

785
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.920
fluid motion lines. This makes it
more fun. It's like betting lie.

786
00:52:53.000 --> 00:53:00.960
Yeah, it's like the like learning
curve thing and the show as you get

787
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:04.960
better huh yeah, Yeah, it
prooves for you and then it ticks up

788
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.519
a little too high and I swing
and miss at seventeen straight pitches and it

789
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:12.519
dies back down into the ground.
Yes, Homer, Homer, Homer,

790
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:15.880
Yeah, I was gonna say,
Homer Homer, Homer, followed by twelve

791
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.920
outs and then all of a sudden
it gets better. Yeah, more starts

792
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:23.880
Nick Timberlake or el Marco Jackson.
Oh, that's a that's a good one.

793
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:28.119
I think it's gotta be Timberlake,
though it's Timberlake. I think it's

794
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:31.199
Jackson. I think it's Jackson.
I think el Marco Jackson's a better basketball

795
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:37.199
player. Like if he's not,
then gosh, I don't want which.

796
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.280
Al Marco Jackson probably should start some
games, but I think Timberlake will start

797
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:45.119
more. Who would have been your
answer to if had you not seen the

798
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:51.599
exhibitions? Is your answer the same? El Marco started probably is the same.

799
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:54.280
Honestly, guys, we're doing the
freshman thing again. I'm gonna say

800
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:59.159
it's Almarco Jackson. If he's not
good, boy, this team's gonna take

801
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:04.400
a big step back because we were
counting on Jackson, Timberlake, and Morris.

802
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.000
They needed two of them. Well, one of them's gone. So

803
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.480
if el Marco's not good either,
that means they can't get to two of

804
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:14.800
those three being good. They need
al Marco Jackson to be good, and

805
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:17.280
I'm gonna say he does all right, does Kansas win the Maui Tournament.

806
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.599
I said no in the last show. No, gosh, you guys are

807
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.800
haters. Yes, they win the
Malli Tournament. They're not losing a tournament

808
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:30.079
with Matt Pater and Shaka Smarten there, they've done it before. I don't

809
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:34.320
see this team. The team at
this point is not winning three straight games

810
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.119
to start the year. You haven't
seen any of the other teams though.

811
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.599
How do you know they're not the
best out there. I'm not saying they're

812
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:45.199
not the best. I'm saying they're
not going to win three straight all right.

813
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:46.840
Well, they haven't won a tournament
a while, so you guys may

814
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:52.760
be honest something. Does Kansas win
the Big Twelve? Yes? Yeah,

815
00:54:53.960 --> 00:55:00.119
yeah, we said pretty easily.
Not close. Yeah. Does kans just

816
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:02.000
win the Big Twelve Tournament? I
said no in the last show, So

817
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:07.480
I'll stick with that. They win
it more often than not. I'll say,

818
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:10.320
yeah, they do. They win
it like fifty five sixty percent of

819
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:14.079
the time. I'll go with it. Does Kansas earn one of the four

820
00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:17.199
number one seeds in this year's tournament? Based on the last show, This

821
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.480
would have to be yes. Based
on my prop vibe, it would be

822
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:27.280
no, but I'll say they do. There's no scenario where they win the

823
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:30.840
Big twelve, as you guys both
said, quote fairly easily and don't get

824
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:35.320
a one seed. Yeah, no
scenario. They're a one seed. Nick,

825
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:37.760
you agree, Yeah, yeah,
unless the Houston fans have something to

826
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:42.719
say about Ith, Yeah, that's
Houston's got. If Houston earns a higher

827
00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:45.400
sea than Kansas this year, we
can't bitch about it much. Because they're

828
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:49.800
playing the same schedule. Over under
three and a half wins in the NCAA

829
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:54.480
tournament, you're basically saying final four
or no, Yes, they go to

830
00:55:54.519 --> 00:55:58.400
the final four. This is the
best team in the country. I picked

831
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:00.119
them in the final four, so
sure I'll go over three and no.

832
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:07.159
Wait, Landon's picks here are a
roller coaster over under zero and a half

833
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.199
home losses, And you don't know, Ryan, maybe I'm picking them to

834
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:13.920
win every game sixty to four.
Over in there, Tony Bennett, come

835
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:19.599
coaches audition, I'm not watching this
last one. Do they lose a home

836
00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:22.039
game? Yes, I'm gonna say
they don't. I'm gonna say this is

837
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:25.239
the year they run the show at
home. It feels like home gets from

838
00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:29.800
or I agree, I'm gonna flip
that. Yeah, because if you think

839
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.400
they go seventeen and one in conference
play, are they losing to Missouri or

840
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:37.119
Yale? Yeah? No, I'm
yea, I'm gonna flip that. I

841
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:40.000
think they do run the table.
Speaking of Missouri and Yale, here's a

842
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:51.199
little sneaky question for you. What
game is closer Missouri or Yale. I'm

843
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.719
gonna go Yale on the basis that
that will be a sleepwalk game for the

844
00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:57.679
Jayhawks. Yeah, I see That's
where I'm geting you there, Nick,

845
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:02.000
Are they Is it closer against missoo
or Yale? Missoo? I think it's

846
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:06.119
Yale too. I agree that I've
watched this team. I think they've beat

847
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:09.519
Mazoo by seventeen and they beat Yale
by like eleven. Yeah. The Yale

848
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:14.599
games like three days before Christmas,
So that just screams sixty eight fifty eight

849
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.079
or something like that. And we're
all sitting there on the couch being like,

850
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:20.639
man, it's Christmas time. Why
did I spend two hours of my

851
00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:24.280
life watching that horrible basketball game?
Does Kansas lose at least one game by

852
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:31.119
fifteen or more? Yes? Yes, This smart answer is yes, but

853
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:37.559
they I think that the floor is
too high. I'm gonna say no game

854
00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:40.360
where they go like one of twenty
from three and it's the one game where

855
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:45.800
Hunter goes like for fifteen and eight
instead of twenty and an eleven. Well,

856
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:47.679
then in that case they're scoring like
twenty five points the whole game,

857
00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:52.480
because that's just a horrible like unless
you think el Marco Jackson's rising from the

858
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:58.159
ashes to score a season high twelve
points, then that game's gonna go very

859
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:01.039
poorly for KU. Well, that
would be there. Every year they lose

860
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:04.960
a home game by at least fifteen, So I stand to lose two prop

861
00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:07.760
bets in one game if I get
at this point. But I'm gonna say

862
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:10.280
no, they do not lose by
fifteen. Last year they lost a bunch

863
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:15.039
of times by that many, but
not this time. Nobody beats them by

864
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:17.559
that many five years in a row. I'll say no. Over under three

865
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:23.039
and a half wins in the four
games against the Oklahoma schools. Yes,

866
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:29.239
Oklahoma schools are terrible. They are
really bad. So I'll go, yes,

867
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:32.440
they do win out I hope,
So I think like seventeen to zero

868
00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:37.559
conference Yeah, no kidding, I'll
zig where you guys zag here, I'll

869
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:39.119
say they lose a still Water game. Feels like we're due for one of

870
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:44.039
those clunkers. We'll see if Porter
Moser beats them, we all have to

871
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:47.199
quit because Hunter Dickinson has to go
work in insurance sales if they lose to

872
00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:52.440
Oklahoma because a Porter Mooser's a complete
imbecile. I say they lose the point

873
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.159
and in still Water when some dude
that's shooting twenty three percent on threes make

874
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.159
six, because that happens every time
down there. Here's a tough one here,

875
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:05.079
especially for for you Landon, who
has him winning a bunch over under

876
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:08.360
two and a half wins in the
three games at Baylor, at Houston,

877
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:15.599
at case State. That is,
it's over two and a half. You

878
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:22.280
said, obviously, yeah they got
oh sorry, over under? Yes?

879
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:24.960
Do they wait, wait a minute, do they win at least two okay,

880
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:29.800
over under one and a half one
and a half wins against Baylor,

881
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:35.320
Houston, Case State? The three
road games? Yeah? Yeah, say

882
00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:39.079
yes, really I think I hope
they do. I think they lose two

883
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:45.679
of those. They haven't won in
Baylor since the Dope game. And okay,

884
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:51.599
so you have him losing at least
two, yeah, and Landon.

885
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:53.760
You think that they you think that
they only lose one? Yeah. I

886
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:58.199
don't think they're losing in Manhattan back
to back years with this case state team,

887
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:00.239
and I think they will win a
game against one of the other two.

888
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:05.280
Okay, I like it over under
fourteen and a half wins in the

889
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:12.000
big twelve over over? Okay,
what if I make it fifteen and a

890
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.840
half. This is a hard line
of set fifteen and a half big twelve.

891
01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:17.599
We'll go under that over because I
had them at seventeen and one,

892
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:22.840
So all right, yeah, that's
I'm lookingna slit through. I think fifteen

893
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:24.079
and three is the number. I
don't know how they get there, but

894
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:27.840
I think fifteen and three is in
number. I'll say under two more,

895
01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.719
which game is closer? Oh?
We already did Missouri or Yale last one?

896
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:35.960
Over under twenty seven point five points
for the walk ons, higher line

897
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:38.920
than usual because they have seven walk
ons and a lesser bench than normal.

898
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:42.960
Do they get to twenty eight points
as a walk on unit? I say

899
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:49.400
no, slight under. I agree, I'll say over all right, look

900
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:52.159
at us, Well, I think
we split the room on everything that wasn't

901
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:53.559
like a do they win the Big
twelve claim? So that was that was

902
01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:57.320
pretty good. All right, good
work, guys. Let's do some Those

903
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:00.480
are our thirty prop bets. Let
us know in the ascars. Do you

904
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:02.039
like the prop bets? I don't
know if those are fun to listen back

905
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:05.719
to, if it's really boring,
if they're kind of fun. I think

906
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:07.800
they're pretty cool to do and look
back on at the end of the year.

907
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:09.119
So let us know if you like
them, and you'll have the segment

908
01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:12.719
to have your voices heard. Next, Nick, put on your put on

909
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:19.480
your happy face. It's time for
ASCARCB. My first question is from at

910
01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:22.239
Ryan on a scorlandri with Nick,
why do you hate ASCARCB. I don't

911
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:29.400
hate ASCARCB. I hate how ASCARCB
came to. Let's pick the Texas basketball

912
01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:37.320
coaches soft color for tomorrow's game.
All right, here's my next ascarcbu.

913
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:43.440
Do you guys think that Jennifer Coolidge's
Old Navy commercial from last year is the

914
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:47.599
worst out of all time? It's
up there. I miss it because I

915
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:52.440
heard Jennifer Coolidge and Old Navy and
my brain shut off. And here's you

916
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:55.719
jumping off the bridge. There you
go, splash. Hey, but at

917
01:01:55.800 --> 01:02:00.480
least you may have suffered fifteen broken
ribs, but at least you didn't have

918
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:04.840
to listen to her saying sorry,
not sorry again, which honestly they feel

919
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:07.639
about equal levels of pain. All
right, here we go, Landed.

920
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:08.960
You have it up? Am I
reading this all by myself. I no

921
01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:14.559
longer have access to X, so
you're reading them? Ah, you're letting

922
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:19.800
Elon down, sir X. I
can't believe the every name that still?

923
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:24.679
Oh my gosh, how many sports
teams could Elon musks? How many NFL

924
01:02:24.760 --> 01:02:28.480
teams could he have bought with the
forty four billion he paid for Twitter?

925
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.800
Like seven? Right? Yeah?
No? How much did the Redskins sell

926
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:37.159
for? Like five? Right?
It was like six billion? Yeah?

927
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:39.880
There you go. W Yeah,
he could have bought the Broncos. The

928
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:44.559
Broncos just sold for like four and
a half. He could have bought the

929
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:51.079
MLS League. Yeah, he could
have bought the NFC East seriously, and

930
01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:55.559
he bought Twitter. What is wrong
with you, sir? Well we know

931
01:02:55.719 --> 01:03:00.679
that at k tweets and news leading
off here is Parker Brown on the closest

932
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:05.159
thing to Mitch Lightfoot. That isn't
Mitch Lightfoot. Now that's that clements Yeah,

933
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:12.239
God, the same. No,
Senior Mitch Lightfoot would be a welcome

934
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:15.440
addition to this year's team. Senior
Mitch was good, like actually good.

935
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:20.320
Okay, let's not let's not,
let's not throw around the G word like

936
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:24.599
that. Senior Mitch was okay,
he was a fine backup big He was

937
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:30.679
good will in comparison to the sophomore
Mitch. Yes, he was also maybe

938
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:37.519
will in comparison to Parker Brown.
I hope if Parker Brown is Mitch Lightfoot,

939
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.280
then that's gonna make Hunter Dickinson better
because he's gonna actually be able to

940
01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:45.039
rest without games going to hell?
Right. Kevin mccullar airs, Wow,

941
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.519
okay, tweets you new. It's
like you saw this over under thirty five

942
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:51.360
percent for Kevin mccullar from three.
I think we just did that. We

943
01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:55.639
all took an under, didn't we
We all took the under on thirty Yeah,

944
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:02.199
feels right. It's close. It's
real close at dick underscore Taser,

945
01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:06.719
our favorite mister wanker. Two types
of KU teams, it seems, oh

946
01:04:08.119 --> 01:04:12.119
man. Two types of KU teams. It seems they're either an up and

947
01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:15.800
down through season that gets it together
late and ends the season on a great

948
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:18.360
run, or they have a really
great regular season with a few small hiccups

949
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:23.000
and then a big choke job in
the tournament. Which one is this year's

950
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:28.320
team gonna be the second one?
I fear thirty and three and an eight

951
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:32.719
seed loss. Yeah, that feels
more likely. I don't think this team

952
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:40.119
is winning thirty games. Personally,
the parody in college basketball has gotten a

953
01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:45.679
lot better since those types of self
teams, where it's really hard to navigate

954
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:48.679
through a regular season schedule without it, because I mean half the Big twelve

955
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:53.320
used to be dog poo. Now
that ninth best Big twelve team is going

956
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:57.400
to be an on the bubble team
on selection Sunday. I think that they're

957
01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:00.840
probably a twenty eight ish win regular
season team, which would be really good.

958
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:03.519
I mean, last year's team won
twenty seven before the tournament, so

959
01:05:04.280 --> 01:05:06.280
uh, I think it's kind of
in the middle. I think if they're

960
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:10.400
as in the middle of that as
you can get. Here is a handful

961
01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:14.719
of questions from Rock Chalk aj Let's
go rapid Fire. Naturally. Bill criticizes

962
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:18.480
the defense in the exhibition game.
Cay You finishes top what in terms of

963
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:23.239
defense at the end of the regular
season, top five in the country,

964
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:29.039
probably top ten. Yeah, they're
elite. Yeah, somewhere around there.

965
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.159
Over under thirty one percent shooting threes
as a team. Oh my god.

966
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:35.199
If it's under, I'm done watching
this sport. Yeah, that bet'll be

967
01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:42.440
over. I mean, what were
they last year? Like twenty twenty two,

968
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:46.079
twenty three Kansas Basketball yadi naughty nine, I need elevator music. Last

969
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:54.599
year's twenty twenty three Kansas Basketball Jayhawks
shot thirty four point seven percent from three.

970
01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:58.320
Damn. If they're at thirty one, then that's an Oh you want

971
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:00.519
to talk about a good utilization for
the drop, they're gonna be about what

972
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:02.719
last year's team was. They don't
have Grady Dick, but they have better

973
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:10.519
depth. Thirty five percent thirty one
is too low. Who starts at the

974
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:14.000
two on Monday? And will it
be the same player on Friday? Yes,

975
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:18.039
it's el Marco Jackson. Twice,
that's Nick Timberlake twice. Yeah,

976
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:24.840
Nick Timberlake twice. I don't know, guys. El Marco Jackson does so

977
01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:29.760
that the ten things that basketball players
need to do, el Marco Jackson does

978
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:32.360
better than Nick Timberlake at how do
you know you've seen him play in two

979
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:38.239
exhibition games? I've I've seen four
years of Nick Timberlake stats to know that

980
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:42.119
el Marco Jackson is a better athlete. He's more explosive, He's a better

981
01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:45.679
defensive player. He should be at
least, there's no reason that a top

982
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:50.320
twenty high school player who is a
six foot three shooting guard can't be better

983
01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:54.920
than a three point spot up shooter
who couldn't get out of thousand until his

984
01:06:55.000 --> 01:07:02.719
fifth year stars in freshman Quinton Grimes. God, he just ripped my life

985
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:06.320
apart with a few short words.
AJ Who would be the best wide receiver

986
01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:11.199
for the Chiefs from this current K
team? Hunter Dickinson. He's seven to

987
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:17.360
one Kevin McCuller because he's six seven, but faster. Imagine throwing fades to

988
01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:23.440
Hunter Dickinson, who is a foot
taller than Julio Jones. That would be

989
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:26.360
insane. That'd be pretty wild,
I don't think. But he's open,

990
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:30.239
but he that would be fun to
see. He would he would look very

991
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:33.280
slow on an NFL field, but
he would also just like I mean,

992
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:38.039
it'd be the definition of effort.
He's down there somewhere. Just let him

993
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:42.880
go catch the ball at the next
dimension. What are the chances McCuller ends

994
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:45.000
up being the best player on this
team over Hunter Dickinson. I think there's

995
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:50.400
a there's a chance. There's a
chance that it's a subjective terming. Mccullar

996
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:54.840
is not going to score more than
Dickinson unless he just goes a small chance

997
01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:58.880
he does. Actually, but you
think McCuller could be an eighteen points a

998
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:03.320
game, guy, I really do. I think he really could. What

999
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:06.920
Kevin mccahr is a top what player
in basketball right now entering the season?

1000
01:08:08.039 --> 01:08:11.239
Is he a top fifteen player in
college? I think so. I think

1001
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.000
he's like a top two player in
the Big twelve. I don't know.

1002
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.199
I want to see it. I
want to see it. We like,

1003
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:21.880
oh, Chaia Baji scored seventy five
points in three games, and we were

1004
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:27.600
like, oh, yep, jump. Jalen Wilson had that monster game against

1005
01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:30.039
Duke last year in the Champions Classic
and we were like, oh, yep,

1006
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:34.600
superstar. I want to see what
Kevin mccullar does in the first week

1007
01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:39.520
of the year if he's over twenty
three to three games sold until we get

1008
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:44.399
there. This is a guy with
five years of four years of sample size,

1009
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:46.600
and he's been about the same statistical
player in each of the last three

1010
01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:50.479
I want to see the leap first. If he's better than Hunter Dickinson,

1011
01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:56.560
it's either because he is a top
five player in the country or Hunter Dickinson

1012
01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:01.840
is a massive disappointment. I think
there's a much better chance of the former

1013
01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:05.880
than the latter. I do too, I just don't think either one of

1014
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:10.920
them is super likely. At AJ
Stevenson, which player on the KU football

1015
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:15.560
team would be the best addition to
the basketball team? Not JILLN Daniels,

1016
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:21.760
He wouldn't play at all. Kind
of a Billy Preston situation. Billy Preston

1017
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:27.359
didn't play because of NCLGA wood.
He didn't play because he alert, Hey,

1018
01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:30.520
I will tell my grandkids one day
that I was at that exhibition game

1019
01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:34.399
where Billy Preston scored like six points
the day that he crashed his car or

1020
01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:39.760
whatever, and it was an impermissive, beeniful benefit car and he never played

1021
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:44.840
again. And he also played in
the Zoo exhibition. That's right, a

1022
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.479
game if they raised a lot of
money for the hurricane or is that the

1023
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:51.199
one you were talking about, No, he played against whatever crap team they

1024
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:55.600
played, like Imporious State. That
year he played in the exhibition, and

1025
01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.800
then we found out. I remember
walking to Allen Fieldhouse for the opener that

1026
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:02.640
year, in like forty five minutes
before tip off whenever I read on Twitter

1027
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:06.560
that he's out because of they were
investigating him, and it was, oh

1028
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:10.640
crap. I remember. One of
the first things you ever asked me on

1029
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:14.640
the show ever was whether or not
they should play Billy Preston against Kentucky or

1030
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:16.960
what his role would be, because
would he be ready for the spotlight against

1031
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:20.079
the Wildcats? And I was very
intimidated by your loudness in your room,

1032
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:24.600
your aging. You're aging r time
on this show basketball for real now,

1033
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:27.199
okay? And I was like,
I don't know about Billy Preston. And

1034
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:30.520
then it didn't matter what my answer
was because he didn't play a single minute

1035
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:34.560
all season. You guys have been
on this show so long. That original

1036
01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:40.800
episode we were talking about should Billy
Preston play, and a seven year IARP

1037
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:45.560
thing, partially because of Billy Preston
played out and it's over now and you're

1038
01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:51.439
still here. You guys are nuts
at the answer for with the answer for

1039
01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:55.920
which player for the football team is
Bill trying to recruit? I mean,

1040
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:58.720
geez, I would love to have
Kenny Logan as my two guard right now.

1041
01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:01.880
That'd be nice. Mason Fairchild could
do a little James Sinska impersonation.

1042
01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:05.960
Yeah, big game. James Sisinski
scored the final bucket of a Final four

1043
01:11:06.039 --> 01:11:12.000
game for Kansas. Did I wish
it was meaningful at all? But it

1044
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:15.079
wasn't it. No, it wasn't
unless you bet on Kansas plus seventeen and

1045
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:19.560
a half, and then it would
have been quite beneficial at Vasquez BD eighty

1046
01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:24.800
five. Are you worried about Dewan
he has seen disengaged these first two games

1047
01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:27.800
on both ends. No, zero
percent, No, not at all.

1048
01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:32.920
I'm a little word man back.
Give me jimme tell Mawie, gimme tell

1049
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:38.319
Mauie if we're talking about I want
to see three games from a player before

1050
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:41.399
I annoint him as really good,
and I want to see seven games of

1051
01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:45.439
somebody before I panic. Remember David
McCormick, we said, let's wait till

1052
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.800
the tournament that they played that year
in Orlando before he panicked, and Dave

1053
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:53.199
was better, and we were like
Okay, really not time to panic after

1054
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:57.239
he looked really bad against Michigan State. Same thing here. If Dewan Harris

1055
01:11:57.279 --> 01:12:00.760
has a eh first couple of games, not gonna panic. Things still aren't

1056
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:03.840
right before the Maui tournament or after
the Mali tournament, then we'll talk at

1057
01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:10.319
Drew Walton or at Drew Eyton.
Why do we recruit Justin Timberlake could Then

1058
01:12:10.359 --> 01:12:13.880
he corrected himself with a laughing face
to Nick Timberlake. If he can't make

1059
01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:18.279
threes, he hasn't. He hasn't
officially shot any threes. At Kansas,

1060
01:12:18.439 --> 01:12:21.640
he made forty thousand tiers in a
row. He will make threes. I

1061
01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:26.199
don't know what else he'll do,
but he will make threes, hopefully.

1062
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:29.279
We also said that about Cam Martin, But then again, Cam Martin was

1063
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:31.880
d two. Big difference between the
two. Yeah, he didn't get a

1064
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:35.479
chance. Cam would have been Cam
would have been wilt had Bill just given

1065
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:42.199
him a few more minutes. I
think Timberlake will be fine. Yeah,

1066
01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:45.239
he'll be just fine. At Evan
eight five nine four three five nine four

1067
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.720
four with two questions, the first
of which I screenshoted and have in our

1068
01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:53.640
notes now because it made me laugh. Could you shoot better from from three

1069
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:59.520
than the Jayhawks? Uh? Yes, honestly maybe if I'm wide open and

1070
01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:02.359
no one's watching me. Sure,
no, we would lose to the worst

1071
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:06.039
middle school team in the country.
If we played basketball, we would not

1072
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:12.399
shoot better than three from three from
the Jayhawks. But maybe in this situation

1073
01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:15.159
it wasn't good other than Kevin mccullar. Quite possibly, and also from Evan.

1074
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:18.479
Which lineup will be the best defensively? And if it's a different question

1075
01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:21.520
offensively, are they the same?
Are they different? What's the most important

1076
01:13:23.159 --> 01:13:27.439
currently? I think that answer is
probably the same. Probably, Well,

1077
01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:33.479
I mean it's Harris Timberlake or Harris
Dickinson, Adams McCuller and who else Timberlake

1078
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:38.479
and Jay You think Timberlake's better on
offense and defense than Jackson? I think

1079
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:41.880
if you're going for your A plus
defense, it probably is Jackson over Timberlake,

1080
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:46.079
I would imagine, And I think
A plus offense is hopefully Timberlake there

1081
01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:51.760
instead. But I think four to
five are the same. God, if

1082
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:57.119
I'm just saying now, if el
Marco Jackson isn't a better player than Nick

1083
01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:04.600
Timberlake, they're boned. Well be
prepared to be boone sir at Alex Fisher

1084
01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:08.880
Ku a round of golf with Bobby
Knight or a round of golf with Dean

1085
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:11.720
Smith. Well, they're both dead, so it would take quite a while.

1086
01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:14.600
Gotta be Dean, right, I
mean? Or was Dean Smith like

1087
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:17.000
the worst person ever as well?
I mean, Bob Knight may hit you

1088
01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:19.840
with a club, so you gotta
be careful. Dean Smith was like,

1089
01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:26.159
okay, right or all, haven't
heard anything that would suggest otherwise. Bob

1090
01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:29.680
Knight obviously one of the best basketball
coaches ever, but not the best dude

1091
01:14:29.680 --> 01:14:31.520
at times? Sound like that.
Jay Bills was talking about this on Sports

1092
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:33.560
Center, so that he made a
lot of improvements throughout the course of his

1093
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:36.720
life, which is good. I
mean, both of them could tell a

1094
01:14:36.800 --> 01:14:41.159
ton of stories. Love listening to
what Bob Knight talked about coaching up Michael

1095
01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:45.079
Jordan in the Olympics. Some of
his stories brilliant basketball. Mine would love

1096
01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:47.680
to pick both their minds. Nick, question for you. At Basquez BD

1097
01:14:47.720 --> 01:14:50.319
eighty five in Puerto Rico, we
didn't look great, but we looked fast

1098
01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:54.960
and you could see glimpses of elite
defense. Now they look slow and low

1099
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:58.520
energy for forty minutes. Is it
all from Ourtario or is there more to

1100
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:02.640
it? I have no idea how
you could say it's all Artario Morris.

1101
01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:09.119
I don't know. I know they're
slowing. They're not as fast without Artario

1102
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:12.520
Morris, that is true. I
also don't know how we're basing this off

1103
01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:15.760
of two exhibition games, one of
which was a coin flip till the end

1104
01:15:15.079 --> 01:15:18.279
and the other they won. They
were up by almost thirty when they pull

1105
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:23.399
all the starters. And also that
first one against a good team, mind

1106
01:15:23.439 --> 01:15:28.159
you, Yeah, a good team
that was having a crazy good day and

1107
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:32.039
in an actual, like real road
environment. We think this team's gonna be

1108
01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:35.560
a top ten defensive team that gave
up eighty two points to Illinois. Like,

1109
01:15:36.479 --> 01:15:41.399
if that game counted, that would
be one of the five highest scoring

1110
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:45.600
outcomes, maybe three highest scoring outputs
against Kansas all year. I imagine it

1111
01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:50.560
it might be anyway. Yeah,
honestly, a couple more here at the

1112
01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:54.800
next dimension. Are we already did
that? Two more at Boxman Ku.

1113
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:58.079
Are we still planning to red shirt
Zach Clements and only have nine scholarship players?

1114
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:00.439
Yes, they said that is the
plan and that there are injuries to

1115
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:03.439
one or two of the nine,
are the walk Ons capable of contributing,

1116
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:08.239
added that he thought while there,
Evan or Evers looked fairly athletic out there,

1117
01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:10.319
and Jant can shoot. Yeah,
those are the two that would play

1118
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:14.000
the most. But I don't think
that if they have multiple injuries, they're

1119
01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:17.159
pulling the red shirt off Clements before
they are starting walk Ons or playing walk

1120
01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:21.000
Ons. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think. I think the only

1121
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:25.199
thing that really could happen with the
walk Ons is maybe you get a Clay

1122
01:16:25.239 --> 01:16:30.520
Young situation where someone has like a
short term injury and they just need a

1123
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:36.039
guy for ten minutes and it's just
in December. Yeah, I think that.

1124
01:16:36.479 --> 01:16:40.760
I think that you're one Parker Brown
bangs his head into the floor and

1125
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:45.039
misses three weeks away from pulling the
red shirt off Clemens. Though. Yeah,

1126
01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:46.279
if you get if you get an
injury that gets to be upwards of

1127
01:16:46.319 --> 01:16:49.800
a month, I could see them
pulling some pulling that red shirt off anything,

1128
01:16:49.880 --> 01:16:54.119
and I hope that I would be
pretty surprised. I hope they don't

1129
01:16:54.119 --> 01:16:58.079
have to do that, because you
know, he's a guy that I respect.

1130
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:00.279
Clemens's decision to come back and read
so much. Self said it was

1131
01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:02.840
his decision. He wants to play
here, wants to get better, still

1132
01:17:02.840 --> 01:17:05.399
has two years of eligibility. I
would love to see him gets a red

1133
01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:10.279
shirt, go up against Dickinson and
practice every day and come back next year

1134
01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:15.760
as potentially a really impactful piece.
Last question here actually a series of little

1135
01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:19.439
mini questions from at Elliott rus in
h one. This depth isn't going to

1136
01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:23.800
be enough, right? Does Bill
go out and actually get somebody at Christmas

1137
01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:27.880
slash mid season? If they do
that, things have gone bad. I

1138
01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:30.119
don't know who. I don't know. I think that they know. I

1139
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:33.399
think Clemens with the red shirt pull
is your first call there. If they

1140
01:17:33.760 --> 01:17:38.319
last time they did that, it
cost them a Final four banner in the

1141
01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:42.239
end. So yeah, and they
took the damn thing down to ridiculous.

1142
01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:45.800
Yeah, it's gonna go back up
again one day. They didn't burn it.

1143
01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:48.279
It's in a closet somewhere. It'll
go back up when they tell the

1144
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.760
NCAA to screw off forever. Are
we going to lose? Are we going

1145
01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:56.000
to see Timberlake or Jackson start?
Because now we've seen both, says I

1146
01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:58.600
love the content. Boys keep up
the good work. Thank you, Elliott,

1147
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:00.159
one of our most loyal listeners.
We all appreciate your input, your

1148
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.239
questions. You're listening and follow means
a lot. I think Jackson's gonna start.

1149
01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:08.079
I think both of them are gonna
get their turn. But I don't

1150
01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:11.600
want that to be the case,
because if Jackson starts Game one and Timberlake

1151
01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:15.600
never starts, it's because Jackson never
relinquishes that spot. I think that that

1152
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:18.760
is the best thing for this team. I think Jackson is being slept on

1153
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:24.359
a little bit. Ah, that
might be the case. I think Timberlake

1154
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:28.640
will start the first couple games and
we'll see about Jackson after that. But

1155
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:31.920
I think Bill is gonna honestly have
not much choice but to roll with his

1156
01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:36.239
shooter to start. And I don't
think Jackson shown much as a great three

1157
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:42.079
point shooter. Yeah, Nick,
Timberlake's one for nine or whatever has me

1158
01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:45.439
saying more and more and more.
I get it. He's he's proven he

1159
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:48.359
can make buckets at the college level. But I mean, these two are

1160
01:18:48.479 --> 01:18:53.079
probably your best two three point shooters. Unless you think mcculler's gonna go off.

1161
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:56.479
I think they got a very good
chance to go off. So that's

1162
01:18:56.479 --> 01:18:58.680
also kind of where I'm sitting in. If that's the logic, then you

1163
01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:01.680
might really consider starting Jackson to be
fair. Rank them one, two,

1164
01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:06.640
three, and season percentage from three
Jackson, Timberlake, mccullor. I think

1165
01:19:06.680 --> 01:19:16.199
it's no brainer, Jackson third.
I think percentage Timberlake is probably first,

1166
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:20.359
but I think he will end up
with less attempts than mccullor, so percentage

1167
01:19:20.359 --> 01:19:25.560
wise, it will be Timberlake,
McCuller, Jackson. You said McCuller is

1168
01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:29.279
under thirty five, and you think
Jackson's easily third. How bad do you

1169
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:31.560
think Jackson's gonna be as a shooter. I don't think he's gonna be a

1170
01:19:31.640 --> 01:19:35.560
very good three point shooter. I
think al Margo Jackson has a higher three

1171
01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:40.279
point percentage this year than Kevin McCuller. I think that is an absurd thing

1172
01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:45.039
to say. I think Jackson will
finish with like at least at least two

1173
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:48.600
or three percentage points lower than mccullor, which maybe isn't by a lot a

1174
01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:51.520
lot, but I think he is
at least two or three points lower.

1175
01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:56.560
And you're basing this off of two
exhibition games. I mean, I don't

1176
01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:58.239
have much to base it off.
If not, Like I watched the guy

1177
01:19:58.279 --> 01:20:00.920
in high school, but I don't
think he's gonna be an incredible three point

1178
01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:04.399
shooter this year. Now, all
right, we'll see I hope if el

1179
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:08.680
Marco Jackson and Kevin McCuller are both
good three point shooters. Yeah, if

1180
01:20:08.760 --> 01:20:14.319
not. If you ever have ascarcbs

01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:15.960
I gotta change it now. If
you ever have askcarcbs, use the

1182
01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:24.199
x hashtag ASCARCV. That's awful gross. All right, we now get to

1183
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:28.840
preview and actual basketball game one that
will count in the standings. Bill self

1184
01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:32.680
will be on the sideline for the
first time since Kansas lost in Austin in

1185
01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:38.119
the regular season finale last year.
Bill self also did not start game one

1186
01:20:38.279 --> 01:20:42.000
last year on the sideline for Kansas, so welcome back to the sidelines,

1187
01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:46.560
coach. He will begin with North
Carolina Central at number one Kansas. Game

1188
01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:50.359
will tip off on Monday, November
sixth at seven o'clock PM. We once

1189
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:54.600
again start on a Monday, not
a Tuesday because of elections. Can we

1190
01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:58.239
have a better reason to change the
start date please? Anything would be better

1191
01:20:58.279 --> 01:21:02.039
than that, But we are one
week away from basketball season officially getting underway

1192
01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:09.640
the NC Central Eagles. They went
eighteen and twelve last season. They finished

1193
01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:15.960
second in the Powerhouse miakuh. They
were top ten team in overall defense,

1194
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:20.000
and their slow paced but efficient offense
earned them a top two finish in the

1195
01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:26.239
league. Each of this team's top
four scorers from a season ago either transferred

1196
01:21:26.279 --> 01:21:28.880
or graduated. We're not even gonna
act like we know who is on this

1197
01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:31.800
team or who is supposed to play. They these two teams have never played

1198
01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:36.520
before in their history. Uh so, got a lot of game on previews.

1199
01:21:36.760 --> 01:21:40.720
Yeah, a lot of previews game
on previews against me X squads,

1200
01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:44.359
no kidding. Whenever they played like
Kentucky in the opener. At least I

1201
01:21:44.439 --> 01:21:47.439
could try to piece something together.
There no lot of history between the teams

1202
01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:50.920
and all that kind of stuff,
But yep, I'm looking at last year

1203
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:55.600
statistics. Last year they were led
by a guy named Justin Wright who's now

1204
01:21:55.640 --> 01:21:59.880
playing for loyal La Marrimount to go
get bitch lap by Gonzaga twise, and

1205
01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:02.520
none of the other guys are still
there. So yeah, who knows?

1206
01:22:02.640 --> 01:22:08.000
Honestly, who knows what this team's
gonna look like? But Kansas underwhelmed in

1207
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:12.000
their two exhibition games. They would
not have covered either of the spreads had

1208
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.000
their ben spreads there. You think
that they're probably gonna open somewhere around a

1209
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:19.640
twenty four to twenty five point favorite
against NC Central, a team that was

1210
01:22:19.840 --> 01:22:25.720
pretty solid for a low level mid
major last year. What do we think

1211
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.479
happens in the open or like we
have any idea how this is gonna go

1212
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:33.079
down? Uh? Kansas wins eighty
to fifty three. Dickenson, big but

1213
01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:41.079
inefficient night. I think North Carolina
Central is going to lose to Kansas.

1214
01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:45.920
Yeah you thought I was gonna it? Sounds like I'd sound like most KU

1215
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:47.560
fans. Yeah. North Carolina Central
is gonna beat Kansas. They have no

1216
01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:51.960
scoring that. Those Eagles are so
good offensively, I'm scared for KU.

1217
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:58.720
No, especially with our sucky depth
and our loudly shooting. The Eagles are

1218
01:22:58.760 --> 01:23:00.960
gonna absolutely make it rain. Oh
yeah, I can see it now.

1219
01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.399
Kansas, I think they have a
strong offensive performance against the MIAC squad.

1220
01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:15.600
Give me KU ninety North Carolina Central
sixty seven behind fifteen points for Almarco Jackson.

1221
01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:20.880
Give me Kansas beating North Carolina Central
ninety to fifty eight. Just a

1222
01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:26.640
statement for the preseason number one team. I gotta think practice hasn't been very

1223
01:23:26.720 --> 01:23:30.000
fun this week. Self is always
angry after his exhibition recaps, but he

1224
01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:35.039
was really after the team following the
way they played against against Fort Hayes State.

1225
01:23:35.319 --> 01:23:40.960
I think you see Kansas absolutely light
up the Eagles, and I think

1226
01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:44.000
you're gonna see what Landon said.
Dickinson will put up numbers. But this

1227
01:23:44.199 --> 01:23:47.239
is the most important piece for me
watching is el Marco Jackson. I need

1228
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:50.880
to see him shake those yips.
I need to see him play quality minutes,

1229
01:23:51.079 --> 01:23:55.000
not be the worst player on the
team from a plus minus perspective,

1230
01:23:55.239 --> 01:24:00.119
and give Kansas quality twenty plus minutes. He is an important piece. I'd

1231
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:02.319
like to see Johnny Furfey play some
minutes too. Those are gonna be the

1232
01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:05.520
two pieces I'm watching the most.
I don't care what Dwan Harris, Hunter,

1233
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:09.359
Dickinson, and Kevin mccullor do against
n C Central, it doesn't matter.

1234
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:12.800
They're gonna be They're gonna put up
points and be just fine. Jackson,

1235
01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:15.800
Furfey, Timberlake. Those are the
three guys we're watching the most in

1236
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.800
this game. Need at least two
of them to be on most nights Kansas

1237
01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:25.000
wins. All right. Because we
no longer start with the Champions Classic,

1238
01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:27.600
you should get a pretty easy week
of pick him to start here. I

1239
01:24:27.680 --> 01:24:30.920
gave you two absolute dunks, and
the other two are a little tougher other

1240
01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:36.359
games. James Madison at number four, Michigan State. Pick this because I

1241
01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:41.239
picked this because the number four team
will be going against our nation's fourth president,

1242
01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:45.159
and because James Madison has been dead
for two hundred and fifty years.

1243
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:48.600
I don't think he stands much of
a chance against Tom Izzo's Spartans. Well,

1244
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:51.039
I mean it's been about that long
since Tom isn't won a title,

1245
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:58.479
So ouch, Nick, how close
is this game? Like we have any

1246
01:24:58.520 --> 01:25:01.439
other? Yeah? Yeah, I
have no idea. Probably twenty five points,

1247
01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:05.680
boy. And then this next one's
in there because you pointed this Outland.

1248
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:10.520
And who in the blue hell is
Saint Mary's playing? As is a

1249
01:25:10.640 --> 01:25:14.239
conference game? Why are they playing
a conference game this early in the season.

1250
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:25.159
Santa Claus State is cal State Stanislaus
at number joining three Saint Mary's gales

1251
01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:29.680
By seriously closer to one hundred than
zero? Is this a real school?

1252
01:25:30.119 --> 01:25:33.199
It's a real school man. It's
oh my gosh. Yeah, the average

1253
01:25:33.399 --> 01:25:38.640
page, the a, the tuition
six thousand dollars, the graduation rates fifty

1254
01:25:38.680 --> 01:25:44.319
eight percent, six grand in what
nineteen ninety six? How how updated are

1255
01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:49.479
these numbers? Yes, in California, I guess it says the average in

1256
01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:55.000
state costs is before eight is before
eight is twenty three thousand, after eight

1257
01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:58.279
six thousand. Apparently there's three students
there and they have enough to give everyone

1258
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:02.000
their scholarship. So yeah, I
was gonna say that they need basketball players

1259
01:26:02.319 --> 01:26:04.840
on the start of the local in
and out and get the two best kitchen

1260
01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:09.279
workers to play point guard. Yeah, I mean that's what they'd fit right

1261
01:26:09.359 --> 01:26:15.920
in in the Gonzagas Conference, that's
for sure. Where is cal State Stanislaus,

1262
01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:21.399
Turlock, California. There's no way
that school is less than forty grand

1263
01:26:21.439 --> 01:26:29.319
a year at I don't California.
It's called Turlock. Turlock is in a

1264
01:26:30.359 --> 01:26:38.640
mote part of California, between San
jose and uh Yosemite National Park. Wow.

1265
01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:43.319
So it's no, it's in the
middle. It's smack dab in the

1266
01:26:43.319 --> 01:26:45.960
middle of the state, and nowhere
is where they're going to be close to

1267
01:26:46.039 --> 01:26:48.960
the final score of this game because
Saint Mary's will win by a lot.

1268
01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:54.920
Oh Mary, somebody say it,
Oh Mary, there you go. That's

1269
01:26:54.920 --> 01:26:58.359
what everybody's gonna be saying watching this
game. Tough for one here number twenty

1270
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:01.880
one USC VERSUS can't state Monday night
in Las Vegas case State will not have

1271
01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:06.079
Nakon Tomlin, who's been suspended indefinitely. A tough early test for the Trojans.

1272
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:14.159
According to drum Tang, treated like
a season in an injury. It's

1273
01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:16.279
almost like, I wonder if that
ky you had a coach that had a

1274
01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:28.760
backbone about and our first HM of
the season. So Nick tells me before

1275
01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:31.800
we start the things I can and
can't play, because he's like, guys,

1276
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:36.159
all right, I got friends and
professors and job employers who listen to

1277
01:27:36.239 --> 01:27:40.840
this. We have to behave at
k you mind you. And then he's

1278
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:43.800
like, you know, I wish
Kay you had a coach with a backbone.

1279
01:27:44.119 --> 01:27:46.359
Buddy. Those two things, I'm
not gonna tell you which one is

1280
01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:50.920
more dangerous. I was that dangerous? How is that dangerous? We all

1281
01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:56.840
criticize self for the Arterio Marris situation. You're met with, You're being met

1282
01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:02.079
with pitchforks. If if, if
my followers hear you say at okay,

1283
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:05.840
anyone who thinks that was handled well, please come up to me and are

1284
01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:13.079
your complaints to my butt. I
am not necessarily saying that you're wrong about

1285
01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:15.079
the way that they handled Artario Morris, but it just makes me laugh.

1286
01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:18.720
I think USC beats case State.
I think k State regresses this year.

1287
01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:27.760
I agree, but give me the
fighting tanks, Ronnie James. Andy Enfield

1288
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:30.239
has a good looking wife. I
will say that's enough for a State's players

1289
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:34.279
will be very distracted looking at her
in the crowd, and they will miss

1290
01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:40.560
more baskets than they make. And
then Auburn I like, I like when

1291
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:43.920
you search Andy Enfield, the first
thing that shows up is not his name,

1292
01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:47.000
but it's his wife when you type. Because when they went on that

1293
01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:53.560
crazy run at at at Florida Gulf
Coast, all everybody talked about was it

1294
01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:56.560
was his good looking wife in the
first row. That's his claim to fame.

1295
01:28:56.640 --> 01:28:59.920
I guess they are not wrong.
Must must suck to be Andy in

1296
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:03.479
Field, Am I right? Auburn
versus Number twenty one Baylor game opening night

1297
01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:08.479
at the Sioux Falls Pentagon. Scott
Drews. Bears are always pretty good.

1298
01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:12.000
We'll roll with them. Yeah,
give me, give me the fight and

1299
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:26.159
Drews yep. As seeing what's been
makes you realize we're we're not only back,

1300
01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:28.880
but it is time to sign off. All right, next show what

1301
01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:30.600
we We'll do it in the middle
of next week, right middle of next

1302
01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:34.159
week, whenever we're whenever we have
a game to recap, they play Manhattan.

1303
01:29:34.479 --> 01:29:39.600
I think John to get that Jasper's
preview in gotta tell you how they're

1304
01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:42.960
gonna beat them by twenty Yeah,
because we have to come back here whenever

1305
01:29:43.039 --> 01:29:47.399
El Marco Jackson goes over sixty five
from the three point line and talk about

1306
01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:51.279
how if he goes Yeah, that's
gonna be one of the more absurd things

1307
01:29:51.279 --> 01:29:55.680
that's happened at KU. Yeah.
Well, and we've seen a lot of

1308
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:58.359
them too. At least the coach
will be on a sideline. I am

1309
01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:00.760
Ryan Landra. This is in said
pain. Oh I didn't come up with

1310
01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:12.079
a name. I am Toby Maguire. I'm Anthony Andy Enfield's son. That'd

1311
01:30:12.079 --> 01:30:15.840
be weird for the way you feel
about your mom. No kidding, Yes,

1312
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:20.359
Welcome back inside the Paint and goodbye
title chances because this team sucks,

1313
01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:25.840
right Twitter, Please, Johnny Furfy
be good so I can relive my Spema

1314
01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:32.199
Kai Luke fandom. Johnny be good, Johnny be hopefully good. Bye Bye
